Chapter 223 Ugly Strange Fish

Not everyone had the same idea as them. There were also people walking on the shore, but more people stayed to see what was going on.

No one is willing to give up money spent in vain. Picking up a sack is worth a day's wages. It's only been a while in the morning and everyone has picked up half a sack, not to mention yesterday.

Although Ye Mu fished in troubled waters and got a tiger spot, she didn't want to go out and crowd with so many people anymore. Maybe there would be another fight later. She had already gained an advantage, so it was better not to join in the fun. She was also wet from the water splash. .

"Then let's sell the goods, go back, and then come out to watch the fun after taking a shower."

Aguang whispered to Ye Huimei: "I'll take you back to soak your feet. When you come out later, I'll accompany you out to watch the fun. If you pick it up, don't go down. I told you this morning not to go into the water, but you didn't listen. …”

"I didn't know there would be chaos."

Ye Huimei was also scared and didn't want to go down to pick it up again.

"Let's go. I'll keep half the bag in my hand and take it back to dry. You can weigh the ones you have. By the way, I'll sell the grouper as well."

After Father Ye spoke, they all went to the purchasing point. No one is selling it now, and they don’t need to wait. They just walk out after passing the scale.

When I came out, I saw that the boss and the second couple were still standing still and watching. When I asked, I said, let’s take a look first...

Then ignore them, they are not children.

After Ye Yaodong waited for his parents to leave, he stood on the shore for a while. The young men fighting on the water were finally tired of fighting. They were all wet, with bruises and swollen noses, and were pulled away by familiar relatives and friends. Climbed ashore.

The people on the shore who were watching were jumping into the water again...

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also dragged their men to continue...

They all thought very well. If there was another conflict, they would just climb ashore and walk faster. It would be a pity not to pick up the money that fell from the sky. Three or four starfish would cost two cents.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them. He planned to go to the sea to collect the ground cages. Judging from everyone's harvest this morning, there must be a lot of starfish on the bottom of the sea, and he could go and collect another wave.

Driving the boat away from the shore and towards the distant sea, he would encounter some small boats working on the road from time to time, or on the way back, he could see that they were covered with starfish, and everyone on the boat was beaming with joy.

Aren't you happy?

You don't have to go into the water at the dock to fight with a group of people, you can easily harvest most of the boat.

He drove to the sea area where he placed the ground cage. There had just been a wave last night. It was only a few hours ago. When he pulled up the ground cage, the fish bag underneath was full of starfish again.

After collecting all the ground cages, he once again harvested half a boatload of starfish, as well as a few small fish, but not the larger ones. After all, he had just harvested them last night.

After putting the ground cage back into the sea, he returned directly. It looked like there were no waves on the sea today. It was estimated that he would be able to go to sea by night.

After the fishing boat returned to the dock, he took the sack and slowly loaded it alone on the boat, taking a look at the excitement not far away.

Only two or three hours had passed, and there was another conflict in the water.

But this time there were a lot fewer people, and seeing the opportunity go wrong, there were quite a few people ashore. Most of the people in the water were helping to break up the fight...

Several fishing boats that had just returned were watching with great interest.

There was a lot of commotion at the pier today.

After Ye Yaodong weighed all the starfish, he patted his butt and left, regardless of the fact that the shore was still crowded.

It was already past the time to eat. These people didn't want to eat, so he wanted to eat.

After he returned, Lin Xiuqing felt relieved, "If you don't come back, I'm going to go out and look for you."

"It's a good thing you didn't go. There are people outside the pier."

He told Lin Xiuqing about the continuous conflicts in the morning. She frowned and said, "You didn't go into the water, did you?"

"No, I'll just watch the excitement from the shore,"

She couldn't help but feel lucky, "Fortunately, you woke up late in the morning and didn't go out. There are so many people, and even a slight collision can easily cause conflicts."

"Um."

He had no intention of going out to pick up today. After picking up all day yesterday, his waist was about to break. He might as well close the cage net, which was easy and fast.

"The starfish caged in the ground just sold for another 510 kilograms, 10 yuan and 20 cents, and we will probably get another batch tomorrow."

She smiled and put away the order, "It's good this way, so you don't have to fight with a bunch of people."

"Now there are no waves on the sea. I should go out to sea at night."

"Okay, I understand."

After Ye Yaodong ate a bunch of kidney-tonifying vegetables, he went to take a nap to recuperate and replenish his sleep.

When he woke up in the middle of the afternoon and stood at the door and took a few puffs of cigarette, he saw the four adults next door coming back like drowned rats.

He was also convinced, and he was able to persist until now. It looked like he had been walking in the water for a while.

"Eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, it seems that you have made a lot of money today?"

"Uh...it's okay. There were too many people today, so we only sold 6 yuan..." Before Brother Ye could finish his words, Sister-in-law Ye poked her with her elbow, glared at her, and then was pushed toward the house. Go inside.

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

I made an agreement with Father Ye in advance to go out to sea around three o'clock in the night. When he arrived, he would wait outside the dock on time.

Since the hook had been lost in the sea for several days, and there were waves in the past few days, he was a little unsure whether he could find it. He did not prepare bait in advance tonight, and planned to focus on trawling today.

After adding diesel, they set off directly as soon as Father Ye arrived.

An autumn rain and a cold. The temperature has obviously dropped several degrees in the past few days. It is colder at sea than on land. The cold wind brought by the ship during the journey is not only biting, but also a bit wet and cold.

He had just trimmed his hair in the evening, but now he felt that his head was bare and extremely cold. He was walking against the wind, and the wind was pouring in from his hat, making it chilly.

I don’t know if his father’s forehead, which has moved from the hairline, is cold or not.

"What are you looking at?" Father Ye felt his gaze and touched his forehead, a little confused.

"No, it just feels quite cold at sea."

"Drive the boat carefully, don't look around, be careful of hitting the rocks."

"knew."

He discerned the direction and moved forward at a steady speed in the darkness. After driving for more than an hour and reaching the approximate target sea area, he slowed down and started searching on the sea.

Father Ye also used a flashlight to shine everywhere on the beach. It was too far from the shore and was not suitable for staying overnight.

The sea area is so wide, even if you know the approximate location, it is not easy to find a buoy, and there is no guarantee when the wind will pick up. A big wave can easily wash away the buoy.

The father and son drove the boat and searched for it on the sea for a long time, but they couldn't see it in the surrounding area, and they didn't know if it had strayed away.

Ye Yaodong was a little depressed, "Let's not waste time now. It's dark now and the light is not good. Let's search while trawling."

"That's fine. It'll be easier to find it when it's daylight. I'll look around while trawling the net, and I'll go release the net."

Fortunately they can still trawl.

He slowly circled the surrounding waters at 3-5 knots per hour. He waited for daylight and drove for a while. It was not until seven o'clock that he pulled up the first net.

I don’t know if it’s because of the recent low temperature, but the fish are not active and don’t often look for food. Although there have been waves in the past few days, there are not many fish caught on the first net. The largest number is Pipi shrimp, which weighs 20 pounds. look like.

But the Pipi shrimps at this time were not very fat. Ye Yaodong poured out the goods and picked a few. After looking at them, he could only say that they were average. Although they were not empty, they were not very full of meat, let alone the red paste. , and many of them are extremely small.

"Dad, it's getting cold, and the fish are no longer active. They all sink to the bottom, making it difficult to catch."

"Well, it's so cold in winter. Those who should migrate have already migrated."

He frowned, picked over it, and said, "I'll go back and ask someone to make a sticky net to try? It should be deeper. It seems more suitable to use a sticky net in winter."

Father Ye thought for a while and said: "The cost of making a sticky net is not high, but a net can only be used three or five times, and it is easy to break if a big fish is caught."

"Make one to try first."

"Then you can make up your own mind. You can also make a test first when you get back."

He asked his father to sail the boat, and he would put out the nets and pick them out along the way.

He picked out some of the very small ones and threw them into the sea. Since they could not be sold for money and were not good as bait, he had to let them return to the sea and continue to grow longer.

Looking at a few seabirds that had been following their fishing boat and flying at low altitude on the sea, he picked a few small fish and threw them to the sea. These seabirds immediately flew down to hunt, and after picking up the prey in their mouths, And quickly flew into the air.

After almost sorting the fish, it seemed that the quantity was even smaller. Most of them were small fish and shrimps that were worthless. The only ones that could be sold for money were a few kilograms of shrimps and a few larger fish.

The moment he raised his head and stood up, he saw his buoy in the distance.

Father Ye also saw it and said happily: "Dongzi, I found it."

"Well, let's drag this net up first and then go over."

It's great if you can find it, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to do it again.

After wandering around the surrounding waters for another two hours, Father Ye set up the net again. This time there were still not many goods, and they were very mixed. There were still more Pipi shrimps.

Fortunately, it's cold now and the wind is strong at sea, so there will be fewer fishing boats going out to sea. Although the Pipi shrimps are not fat, the price has increased recently.

Some time ago, the weight dropped to 2 cents per pound, but recently it has increased to 40 cents per pound.

After pouring out all the fish, they didn't bother to sort it out, so they went back to collect the hooks. They hadn't been out to sea for four days, and they didn't know if some of the fish were smelly.

After approaching the buoy, Ye Yaodong put the buoy away and tried to pull it. This time, the stone sinking rope was not stuck and was pulled up smoothly.

After having the experience of getting stuck once, he would be a little worried when collecting it. It was so cold and it was not easy to go into the water.

He continued to reel in the thread. It had been four days. It was too long. He didn't have much hope at first, but after pulling it, he felt it still had some weight.

He rolled the main line and pulled the branch line upwards, only to see a strange black fish suddenly rise up from the sea.

"what is this?"

Father Ye looked at the big fish that had just been pulled up from the sea with a confused expression. Its mouth was still opening and closing, and the fishhook had pierced its lower jaw.

Ye Yaodong was also confused. He had never seen such an ugly fish before? ?

"Pull it up first, it's a bit heavy."

This fish was in a half-dead state, and there was no struggle when it was pulled up, so it went smoothly.

I saw this ugly and scary fish, more than 40 centimeters long, black all over, its teeth were like pointed glass shards, and there was a small black broom-like "pole" on its head, like a light bulb.

Its mouth is so wide that it can swallow fish as big as itself, and its teeth are particularly sharp.
