Chapter 326 Just Take It

As soon as the night came, Ye Yaodong got up on time and took a look. There was no wind or rain, so he prepared to go to sea as usual.

The wind and waves on the sea are not big, but the pier does not look so busy tonight. Many boats on the shore are still docked there. In the past, when they went to sea at night, there were flashing headlights everywhere outside the pier. Today, the number has obviously decreased. many.

He estimated that they had all been pruned, and everyone had gone up the mountain to cut branches. After all, just one day's rest could bring huge benefits.

When he took a rest and went up the mountain the day before yesterday, it happened to rain at night and it cleared up in the morning, which was not a loss.

He drove to that sea area as usual. He had discussed with his father that he would not go into the water today, and he would not drag the net for now. He would go to the beach to pick up squid, and then wait for the afternoon to cast the net. It didn't matter if the net was collected after a day or two.

Otherwise, no one will pick up the stranded squid on the desert island, and it will be used by seabirds. It is too wasteful. The rivers on the seabed cannot escape anyway, and it will be too late to dig in the water after a month and a half.

The dark light at night is not good, but it doesn't matter when you pick squid with a headlamp. It's just not the spring tide. Although the tide is receding, it is not receding very low, and there are not many wet beaches.

All the squid around were washed up by the sea water and carried down in an instant. This repeated, and there would be fewer stranded ones, and they were all rippling back and forth in the shallow water.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to pick it up on that small beach, and he went into the water to fish it out. He was wearing rain boots anyway, and the handle of the hand net was long, so it was not difficult to fish out, and it could be more efficient, so it probably only cost a lot of money.

The seabirds during the day were probably full and went to sleep in the woods at night. When they were busy on the beach, no seabirds appeared.

Otherwise, there will be seagulls or gannets coming out to hunt for food even at night, and white-fronted shearwaters will also appear on the sea at night, often regardless of day or night.

I guess they were all fed yesterday.

Ye Yaodong held a sack in one hand and a small hand-made net in the other. He fished slowly in the water and divided the work with his father.

If you just fish it into the water, you will find six or seven squid. Don’t be too happy.

As soon as he finished fishing, when the sea water came up again when it floated, he stood still, and it was enough for him to fish for a while.

He felt that there were a little less squid washed up by the sea water in front of him, so he slowly moved his position.

Wherever the headlight on his head turned, it also attracted a small group of phototactic fish to approach. The silver-white figure kept dancing under the halo of his headlight, rolling like boiling water.

He picked it up in surprise, and was no longer surprised when he saw it was anchovies.

Anchovies are also small fish that are phototactic. They are actually called anchovies, or anchovies. They are not valuable. They have many small spines, but they are very fragrant when pan-fried or deep-fried.

It was just too extravagant. They had just blown up sandworms a few days ago. It was because A Yuan had just stayed at their house to play, so Ye Mu reluctantly blew them up once. If she was asked to blow them up again now, there would be no way.

The fish ran to the light of its own accord, gathered around them, and kept jumping on the surface of the water in dense numbers. He couldn't help but catch them reluctantly, and he could just sell them when the time came.

He took out another sack from his pocket and packed it separately to save a long time of picking. ….

I just took two sacks into the water, thinking that when the tide goes out, there should be fish and shrimps stranded. If I can catch a few fish, or I can find a place to put any conches and shellfish I pick up.

He picked up a net, which contained fish and squid. He picked out the squid and threw it into a sack, and then poured the anchovies into another sack.

[In view of the general environment, with the interference of these small fish, his speed of catching squid has also slowed down, which makes him a little depressed. The squid is much more valuable than the small fish, but there is no way, he still needs lighting.

As the tide receded, he gradually moved forward, and he caught two horsetails and a big red seal, which he put all into the anchovy sack.

When it got light, he turned off his headlight, and the anchovies no longer gathered around him. The forest on the island also became lively. There was no longer only the sound of waves in his ears, but also the chirping of various insects and birds. The sound is endless, and seabirds are gradually flying out to hunt for food in the forest.

Just after the anchovies disappeared, seabirds came again, which was really confusing.

With the interference of birds snatching food, he could no longer work well. From time to time, he would use a hand net to swat away the seabirds that were bold enough to snatch food from his mouth.

And as the sky gets brighter, the number of seabirds is gradually increasing, which is unbearable.

Ye Yaodong waved away the seabird that was trying to snatch the squid in front of him for the nth time, and cursed, "Fuck you, not long after the anchovies left, you came again. Sooner or later, I'll stew you all."

"Dongzi, take a rest and have a meal first!"

He responded casually and saw that the squid in the sack was about seven to eight percent full, so he fished it out twice more before dragging the sack to the shore, taking along the half bag of anchovies he had just caught.

"How many have you picked up?" Father Ye straightened his sore waist and kept twisting.

"It's about seventy or eighty cents full. It should be about eighty pounds."

"Didn't you pack two bags?"

"Half the bag here is filled with anchovies. It was dark ahead, so I turned on my headlamp, and the fish was attracted to it and ran over."

"My bag is about the same. I can't pick it up as fast as you. Now that so many seabirds have flown out, it will be difficult to pick it up. Besides, the tide will rise again later."

Ye Yaodong looked at the seabirds everywhere on the surrounding beaches and had a headache. "Pick up as many as you can. If there aren't many things to pick up when the tide comes in, just drive out and drag a net. Come back at noon. Anyway, it's here." This area around here.”

"We'll see later! Get something to eat first. Your legs are numb from squatting there and your back is so sore. Let's rest for a while."

"Well, let's carry these to the boat and pour them into the basket first."

Just as the father and son each carried a sack and walked toward the fishing boat through the water, they discovered that a fishing boat was heading in this direction on the sea not far away.

The two of them stared into the distance and paid attention as they walked.

When they put the sacks on the boat, the fishing boat was getting closer and closer. Both father and son climbed on the boat. When they saw that the boat was not much bigger than them, they did not run immediately, but watched there.

After getting closer, Ye Yaodong also recognized it and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's Xiaoxiao and Azheng's boat."…

The boat also recognized them and was slowing down, and then the two boats docked side by side.

"Dongzi, it's you, why didn't you go to trawl the net? I thought whose ship was docked here."

"I put branches around and planned to catch squid, so I didn't go to trawl the net. It happened that a lot of squid were stranded on the beach here, and I caught them here at dawn."

"Ah? That's it." Xiaoxiao said with some regret, "I want to go ahead and set out branches to catch squid tomorrow. Thinking of the first time you took us to trawl the surrounding sea area, I remember there are It’s an island, so after I just hauled in a net, I came over to have a look at dawn.”

"That's a coincidence. The branches I put down yesterday were captured in this area yesterday afternoon."

"Forget it, let's look for it again." Azheng said with some pity.

"It's okay. The sea area around this island is so wide. You release yours, and I release mine. I release them to the east of the island, and you can release them to the west. It won't have much impact."

The number of squids will only increase day by day, and it is impossible for him to catch all the squids. Moreover, the more branches he puts around, the more squids will be attracted to stay.

Xiaoxiao said happily: "Okay, that will save us the trouble of searching everywhere. We also heard from my dad that putting branches around the island is more effective, so we thought we had paid attention to this island before, so we came over to take a look today. A point."

"What about your branches? Who will trim them for you?"

"Ask my father and mother to go up the mountain and chop, and we will come out to trawl the net as usual. There will be no delay. Otherwise, if we don't come out for a day, it will be a day's loss."

"Okay, our brother Yao has become very diligent and hardworking."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How was your harvest after picking squid all night?"

"It's not bad, just over 100 kilograms, but the seabirds around are too annoying. You can see for yourself."

Xiaoxiao and Azheng both looked at the beach not far away, and saw groups of seabirds walking and pecking there. From time to time, new seabirds flew to the sea.

"There are so many seabirds that they will eat all the stranded ones."

"Who says it's not? So it's enough to pick these up. I'm planning to rest for a while, cook some noodles, eat, and then continue working. I've been busy for a few hours and I'm exhausted."

"That's just right. You can cook more, we're hungry too." Azheng said cheerfully.

"Damn, you're so rude."

"It's rare to meet you on the sea, so of course I'll give you a slap in the face."

"Okay, let me give you a taste of my father's cooking. Most people can't eat it."

Father Ye just put the noodles in, and his hand that was about to add salt to the pot shook. After thinking about it, he added a small bowl of water.

Then he put in the clams and shrimps he just picked up on the beach.

"It's very convenient to have a coal stove on the boat. We'll install one when we get back. This will save us having to eat cold meals every day."

"It's just that it's troublesome to cook. It's hot and I just have a meal and it's over. It was autumn and winter at that time, so I wanted to get a coal stove and put it on the boat. How's your recent harvest?"

"It's not bad. It rains and winds every three days, so I don't go out to sea very often, but I still make some money. When this wave of squid fishing is over, Ah Cai can pay you back after the money is calculated."

Ye Yaodong said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. If you are tight on money, just leave it alone and settle down your family first. I just want to ask out of concern."

"I have earned it off and on in the past two months. I share a little bit with each other, which is enough for family expenses. I have also saved a little, so money is not tight."

Ah Zheng also nodded, "It makes me feel uncomfortable to be in debt. We want to pay back what we can as soon as possible. If we are debt-free, we will feel lighter."

"You can make a lot of money by fishing for squid."

"That's what we thought too."

The three of them were chatting, and the noodles in Father Ye's pot were also cooked. "You guys crawl over here and eat first. This pot is too small. You have to cook another pot."

"Okay~"

They both ran over and filled a bowl first.

"Hmm~ It's delicious. My uncle's cooking is pretty good~"

"Hmm... It's very fresh. You guys also brought everything..."

Ye Yaodong was a little skeptical, how could it be delicious?

Seeing that there was still something left in the pot, he scooped it out for himself, emptied the pot and asked his father to cook another pot.

After tasting it...

"Dad, did you do it on purpose before? It's better if you don't cook it?"

Father Ye rolled his eyes at him and said matter-of-factly: "I tasted it today and tried it...".
