Chapter 254 Ye Huimei’s Little Red Hand

Today, the goods in the sticky net are basically toad fish. I collected a basket of about fifteen or six fish. There are also 3-4 flatfish and manta rays each. The big one is still the small green dragon, which weighs about a pound.

Ye Yaodong went barefoot and drove the boat to the sea area for longline fishing.

After putting away the buoy and the rock-sinking rope, he just collected a few hooks when he heard a constant shouting in his ears.

"Third brother, let me come?"

"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so big... Third brother... let me try it?"

"Ah, that's the yellowfin snapper, I saw its golden fins."

"Tiger spots...tiger spots...ahhhh, third brother, you are so powerful, let me keep it too, right? Third brother..."

Ye Yaodong felt a headache as he listened to the constant chirping in his ears, "Can you be quiet for a moment? Why didn't I know you could scream like this?"

As he talked, he unhooked the four-pound tiger spot from the hook. The fish kept swaying its tail and slapped his arm several times, and he threw it directly into the bucket of water.

This is the treatment of valuable live fish, ordinary fish only deserve to stay in the basket.

"Aren't I excited? Just pull the hook and you'll find everything. It's so awesome. You even caught such a big grouper. Third brother, you are so awesome. Why didn't I know you were so awesome before?"

It feels good to have an extra little fan girl, but it is also quite noisy...

He kept talking so loudly that he didn't know that his little sister was so eloquent and as excited as his eldest son.

"Come on, come on, keep going, let me try too?" She said and stretched out her hand.

Ye Yaodong patted the back of her hand and glared at her, "Come on, keep going. If you encounter a big fish later, I will pull you and drag you into the sea. Let's see who goes down to save you."

Ye Huimei touched the back of her red hand, not to be outdone, and stared back, "How could I be pulled into the sea even though I'm such a big person? And I don't think the fish you pulled up is that big."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways, "That's because you didn't see it, don't make trouble, just stay there and watch from the side."

Ye Mu also stretched her head and looked at it, "Will there be big fish? How big? Otherwise, let me come, and you go to the side to warm yourself by the fire. It's very cold without wearing pants."

"Yes, Third Brother, I can see goosebumps appearing on your legs."

"Who told you to look at it? Can you just look at a man's legs?"

"Tch~ It's not like I haven't seen it before. In the summer, I often see you taking a shower at the back door."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her, but felt that the force on his hand was a bit strong, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Isn't this coming?"

"What?"

"Show you the big fish."

He kept reeling in the line with his hands, and paused from time to time to engage with the fish in the sea. After letting it go, he quickly reeled in the line.

Others were also looking at the sea, and saw ripples on the sea. After a while, a big gray figure appeared under the water.

"Here it comes, here it comes, it's really big. What kind of fish is this?" Ye Huimei, a little fan girl, shouted excitedly when she saw the figure appearing on the water.

"It's a shark!" She saw the wide, convex mouth emerging from the water and the shark fins on its back.

Mother Ye also said happily: "This shark is quite big."

Father Ye also walked over and took a look curiously, "What kind of shark is this?"

There are various types of sharks in the sea, and most people don't recognize them all, but Ye Yaodong happens to know them.

"This is a mako shark. I'll pull it up first."

He struggled with the shark for a while, and after it stopped struggling, he slowly pulled it to the side of the ship, lifted it up, and threw it onto the deck.

After playing for a long time, his hands were a little sore. After just two squeezes, Ye Huimei came up to him with a smile and squeezed his arm, and gave him a flattering smile.

"Are you tired, Third Brother? I'll help you later!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked her forehead, "I want to work so much, I'll do it for you later, go ahead, this one is a baby shark, not yet an adult."

"You're not even an adult yet, you're already so big..."

Mother Ye looked at the shark still bouncing around on the deck and exclaimed: "My dear, such a big shark is not yet an adult, so how big will this one be if it becomes an adult? Is it going to eat people?" "

"It's not like eating people, and fish generally won't attack people unless you smell of blood."

Ye Yaodong made a visual inspection and found that the mako shark still jumping on the deck was about 1.56 meters tall, which was still a little short of an adult fish.

This shark travels the ocean, sometimes to coastal and offshore continental and island shelf waters.

Its body is spindle-shaped, its back is blue-gray, its mouth and abdomen are pale to white, its trunk is thick, and its head and tail gradually become smaller and smaller.

There are two dorsal fins, the first dorsal fin is medium and large, and the second dorsal fin is very small. It also has pectoral fins and tail fins.

The famous shark fin is the filamentous cartilage in the shark's fin. It is made from the dried fins of the shark's chest, abdomen, tail, etc. The shape is a bit like a vermicelli, but it is crisper and tastes better than vermicelli.

When fried, it actually looks more like sweet potato vermicelli...

It’s just that it’s not as long as sweet potato vermicelli, it’s shorter and has pointed ends.

Unsavvy people may think of fried shark fin as fried sweet potato vermicelli when eating it for the first time... (The author once ate fried shark fin and thought it was sweet potato vermicelli...)

Ye Yaodong waited until it stopped struggling, then went up and knocked it unconscious with a stick. Looking at the little girl in front of him and behind him, he turned around and said, "I'm going to work on you. Don't you want to help reel in the line?"

"Ah, okay, I'll do it, I'll do it..." She turned around happily and left immediately.

"Be careful. If you feel the pulling force on your hands is relatively strong, call someone if it is severe."

"knew."

After Ye Yaodong killed the shark, he went over to look at her, but heard her exclamation.

"Ah... big yellow croaker? It doesn't seem like..."

Ye Huimei pulled up the line, held the fish in her hands and looked through it. It felt like it was a large yellow croaker, but it also felt like it wasn't.

"Dad, Third Brother, why do I feel like this is a large yellow croaker? And the color seems wrong."

Everyone stretched their heads to take a look, and Father Ye and Ye Yaodong affirmed in unison: "It's a large yellow croaker."

"Holy shit, you're lucky! This big yellow croaker weighs more than a pound."

"But the color is wrong. Isn't the large yellow croaker golden? This color is a bit white."

Ye Yaodong explained: "The color of large yellow croaker during the day is a bit white and pale yellow, a bit lighter. Only those caught at night will turn golden yellow."

"Like this? So magical?"

"Well, it's great! I caught one as soon as I started."

Ye Huimei suddenly opened her mouth, "That's fine, I just said let me do it, look!"

Ye Yaodong gave her a thumbs up, then helped to remove the hook and put the thread into the basket, "Go on, bring in a few more threads."

"hey-hey……"

She was very busy with her work. When she encountered a larger fish that was difficult to pull, Ye Yaodong would help her.

Because I put it down at night and only caught the first wave now, there are quite few empty bait hooks, and the bad ones will also catch a minnow or toad fish. Even the black mullet was caught less today.

After the first yellow croaker was brought in, Ye Huimei received several more good ones. She also received one yellow croaker, about 2 kilograms, which made her smile from ear to ear with joy.

Ye Yaodong threw Huang Dingban into the bucket to keep company with the tiger spot from before.

Immediately afterwards, when she received the last row, another hook exploded. It was very heavy. She shouted excitedly, "Third brother, come on, come on. There is a big fish. I pulled it and it was heavy."

Ye Yaodong heard this and quickly came to help.

"Third brother, do you think it will be another shark?"

"Who knows, there was an earthquake in the sea two days ago, and the sea surface rolled for two days. I don't know how many fish were caught in it. Today, the trawler will make a fortune."

The fishing line was shortened little by little, and the face of the big fish in the sea was revealed, directly revealing the answer.

"Giant Cobia!"

"Huh? Haha...I'm so awesome...this fish is so big..."

Ye Yaodong was also very happy, "Well, that's great!"

"This fish is not small. It's quite powerful. I caught a few good fish." Father Ye also praised her with a smile.

"Hey, third brother, come up quickly."

Ye Yaodong pulled it for a long time. The fish was particularly fierce. It struggled as hard as the mako shark. His arms and waist were sore before he pulled it up without untying the hook. Drop it to the deck and let it bounce for a while.

This fish is also long and slender. The vertical stripes of secondary color on its body surface are very eye-catching. Its pectoral fins are light brown, and the upper edges of its pelvic fins and tail fins are gray-white. It is known as the "little warship" in the sea.

A few cobia not only have distinctive body colors, but also have neatly arranged luminous spots that look like the metal buttons on an officer's uniform. These luminous points are dazzling and the number is astonishing, as many as 300.

So cobia has the ability to "glow". But they rarely use their own light for illumination. Only during the mating season will the cobia display its "cobia" style and shine.

"This one weighs almost 30 pounds. Huimei is doing great today!"

"That's... I asked you to wind up the line for me, and you're still not happy?" Ye Huimei said proudly.

Father Ye smiled and said, "It's the right time to take you out to sea today."

"Fortunately, I didn't bring my aunt. You see how useful I am. Third brother was not happy yesterday. Now you know what I am, okay?"

"After complimenting you a few times, you still go to heaven?"

Ye's mother also praised her, "She is someone who can go to sea."

Ye Huimei suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Her mother really didn't know how to praise others.

"Mom, you should praise me for being so awesome."

"Yes, yes, then go quickly, there isn't much left, finish collecting."

"Yeah."

Today she really experienced what it meant to be soft when collecting fish. The longline had a series of hooks hanging there, which was equivalent to the fish lining up waiting to land.
