Chapter 301 Heartbroken

After getting on board as usual, he leaned against the side of the ship, panting while pulling on the line, pulling up the net bag, and asked his father, "Have the ground cages been pulled up?"

"Collected 4 of them, and there are two more. I was just about to collect them when I saw you surfaced."

"Oh, it's good that it's not stuck anymore." He was a little weak now and couldn't go down any longer for a short time. It would be nice if he could get it back.

Father Ye put away the ground cage and looked distractedly at the net bag he had just pulled up, "Are they all abalone?"

"Almost," he said, and his hands did not stop busy, pouring out all the goods in the net bag, "There is a little green dragon, and a..."

"East Star Spot?"

Your sister Dong...

If it weren't for his father, he would have just responded.

"It's a white-lined red perch! It's not an eastern starfish. I couldn't see it clearly underwater just now, so I thought it was an eastern starfish."

Father Ye's expression of surprise suddenly disappeared, "Oh, yes, the tail doesn't look like it. I made a mistake."

Ye Yaodong didn't bother to deflate it and threw it into a basket aside. Anyway, he was going back soon.

"Why are there all abalones this time? There is only one little green dragon."

He raised his eyes and glanced at his father. He had been telling him not to go into the water just now, but now he felt that the goods were lacking?

"I wasted some time looking for the ground cage before. The ground cage was lowered into the sunken ship. I searched around for a long time and didn't see it. Later I found it in the sunken ship. This white-lined red bass was also seen in the sunken ship... …”

"By the way, let's try to pull up the diesel engine on that boat next time."

"It's not easy to pull. It's all sinking to the bottom. I've been soaking it for a few days and I don't know if it can be used..."

"Let's talk about it then."

Maybe we can wait until the net hoisting machine from Linji is delivered to save some effort.

The rolling wheels on the ship have limited load-bearing capacity and cannot tow the machine, otherwise the rolling wheels can be used directly.

The net lifting machine used for trawling has a large load capacity, but the speed is slow.

The net rolling machine can pull the fishing net very fast, but it can not bear much weight.

The rolling wheel is slow and has limited weight capacity. Moreover, the borrowed one on the boat is also very old. He plans to move it and return it.

It was of little use to him. The sticky net was badly damaged after being lowered a few times, so he didn't put it out again. What's more, it was just one fishing net, just for fun and to test the water. It was not as good as trawling or longline fishing. The floor cage is also more practical and less troublesome.

After Father Ye collected the last two ground cages in succession, they went around to look for Azheng's small boat, planning to call them back together.

This time it was Ye's father who drove the boat and Ye Yaodong went to pick the goods. He hadn't even seen the harvest in the cages behind, so he volunteered.

There were ten nets in a row of ground cages, and he went into the water twice, harvesting half a basket of small green dragons crawling around. He estimated that there should be more than 30 of them.

There were also a lot of sea cucumbers. He caught a dozen of them the first time he went into the water. The number caught in the ground cage would be a little less. After all, sea cucumbers don't like to move and stick to the bottom, so there were only about thirty.

But it is big and small, with two taels each, and each one is basically more than three taels.

Ye Yaodong fiddled with it, secretly picked out two half-cut ones, two-thirds ones, and two that were obviously smaller, and threw them into his bucket.

This is something to take home and eat! Thinking that his little sister was pregnant, he took out two more. ….

Let’s get some abalone too, the two boys haven’t eaten them yet…

Forget about the little green dragons, there aren't many of them, everyone ate one last time.

He picked and picked, took a few more fish and threw them into the bucket, then took the bucket aside alone.

At this time, Azheng Xiaoxiao's boat was still operating. When they saw their fishing boat approaching, they slowed down and let the two boats get closer.

"Are you ready to go back?"

"It's almost 5 o'clock. It's 6 o'clock when we go back."

"Okay, we don't have a watch and it's inconvenient. We'll set up the network immediately and go back after collecting it."

They waited nearby for a while. The machine really saves effort, and the speed of lifting the net is faster than human power. A large bag of fish was pulled directly to the deck by them.

"Today's harvest is good. This bag weighs more than 100 kilograms."

Ah Zheng said happily: "It's quite good. It's better than placing cages along the coast. It can load more goods. We don't prepare bait at night, otherwise we can also put hundreds of rows of hooks."

Xiaoxiao also smiled and asked: "How many nets did you drag today? How was the harvest?"

"I only dragged 3 nets, which was okay. There were quite a lot of fish caught on the longline, and they were quite big, weighing two to three hundred kilograms."

“It’s better to harvest from the open sea.”

"Otherwise, who would spend a lot of money to buy a bigger boat, just to go to farther seas to catch more fish?"

After chatting casually for a few words, they speeded up and headed back.

After a tiring day, everyone feels like returning home.

From getting up at two o'clock in the night to five or six o'clock in the afternoon, people would be extremely tired after being drifting on the ship for such a long time. Ye Yaodong felt especially tired. He sat directly on the ground, leaning against the cabin and waiting to dock.

Just as he was dozing off drowsily, the fishing boat docked, and he felt the boat slow down, and he suddenly woke up.

Xiaoxiao and Azheng originally thought that he was also trawling normally, and the types of fish they caught should be similar, so they didn't ask any more questions out of curiosity.

Who would have thought that when they got off the boat, they would see the little green dragon? abalone? And sea cucumbers?

"Damn it, where did you get these? Don't tell me they were dragged by a trawl net?"

Ye Yaodong said proudly: "Hmph, it's a secret. There are many people with mixed eyes, so I won't tell you yet."

Ah Cai was also pleasantly surprised when he saw the good stuff he delivered, "Are there abalones and little green dragons again? Ah, there are also sea cucumbers today? The good guy has to be you. Little green dragons can stick to the net occasionally. Abalone and sea cucumbers are hard to catch."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and weigh yourself. I'm exhausted. Just finish the weighing and go back to eat and sleep."

I'm too tired, otherwise the price of sending me to a hotel in town might be higher.

They were all old acquaintances, so Ah Cai didn't say much and put all the other goods away first and weighed them for him.

They were all rare and good things, and everyone was very curious about them. They didn't have any objections, and they all asked where he got them.

"Adong has dug abalone more than once. Where did he dig it?"

"The most common thing I heard was that after the earthquake, the reef was pushed up. Is there anything left that was dug on the reef?"

"Why haven't we encountered such a good thing? Is there anything else, A Dong?"

"There should be more, right? I've seen him dig it out several times..."….

"There are sea cucumbers today. I haven't seen them before, and I don't know where I caught them. Aren't they all on the bottom of the sea? They're not easy to catch. They're very expensive..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and didn't say much, just said: "I caught a little bit when I was lucky. I don't know if I can meet you again next time..."

I used to think that the reef had sunk and would not appear, so I just said it was because the reef was rising up.

Now, of course, he couldn't tell them the specific sea area. He had to continue to collect wool. Even if they couldn't get to the bottom of the sea, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"How much can this sea cucumber be sold for?"

"It's so big, it costs more than ten yuan, right?"

"Hangtian...it's so expensive...I'm going to make a fortune again..."

"Where did you catch A Dong?"

After Ye Yaodong settled the accounts, he left without paying attention to the sarcastic remarks and discussions behind him.

After he walked far away, he took out the sea cucumber that was weighed down by several fish in the bucket. Father Ye stared at it.

"When did you secretly hide it? You prodigal thing, it's only 16 yuan a pound, and each one costs several yuan. It's so expensive, how can you swallow it? You bastard, hurry up and sell it..."

Father Ye snatched the sea cucumber from his hand, threw it back into the bucket, and wanted to take it back to sell, but Ye Yaodong snatched it away.

After knowing the price and looking at the few animals in the bucket, he felt a sense of pain in his heart, but he kept them. Why was he being so petty and sending them back?

"We've already weighed it, why send it over? Keep it, it's not for you to eat."

Father Ye was so anxious that he wanted to find a stick, but there were no sticks or bamboo strips around, only straw.

"How can you swallow it...you can't get enough of anything you eat, and you want to stay and taste everything you see...It's like a child who hasn't grown up, he wants to eat everything...and he doesn't feel bad..."

Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's distress, "Two for the little sister, two for the old lady, and two for Ah Qing, let them eat one a day."

It's not like he's never eaten sea cucumbers before. There wasn't much of them this time. He really didn't want to keep them for himself. His parents didn't even get a share.

After listening to his arrangement, Father Ye was speechless and sighed heavily, regretting that iron could not become steel.

"You can't eat anything, but you still eat something so expensive. Other people still give you pickles and rice porridge every day. You're so picky. Just like Aguang, why don't you buy bird's nests and deliver them to me to spite me and your mother..."

"This sea cucumber, you see, they won't be able to swallow it when the time comes..."

"It's like everything costs nothing. I think it's easy to make money. No wonder two people can become friends. Why don't you learn from your elder brother and second brother..."

Ye Yaodong picked his ears and followed his father's words.

After throwing a few sea cucumbers into his bucket, he gave him two more fish, "Are you ready? Let's go back. I'm exhausted."

"You know you're exhausted, but you're still so willing..."

"Sea cucumbers are good for your health. There's nothing you can't bear to part with. Let's go."

He had to talk about it every time, so he had to hide it.

"What can't you eat? If you go back and see if your mother scolds you to death, the old lady will be heartbroken."

"Are you thirsty?"

Father Ye was so angry that he glared at him fiercely, still talking about prodigal things...

After Lin Xiuqing saw the sea cucumber, she couldn't help but keep asking how much it cost.

Although she didn't know the price, she also knew that it was good stuff and not cheap.

How could Ye Yaodong tell her that he only said a few dollars, not a specific number, and that he kept one in half, and only one was intact.

After hearing that it only cost a few yuan, Lin Xiuqing didn't hesitate anymore, but she didn't have it to herself, so she cut the stewed eggs into small pieces and ate them with the family.

It wasn't until after the meal that Ye Yaodong gave her the bill of goods and she found out the price.

She suddenly felt distressed and punched him hard several times!

"Ouch~ Oh my god~ It's so expensive~ How can I afford it...".
