Chapter 365 Harvest
Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao took turns taking a dip each time, which was equivalent to three dips for each person.
The previous time there was no harvest, but Azheng caught two sea cucumbers. In the next two times, both of them harvested quite well, and the net bags were filled to the brim. Of course, abalone accounted for the majority.
Ye Yaodong waited for them to come up and then went down again. Of course, the goods he bought were his own.
Ah Zheng looked at the goods in their basket and said happily: "These should weigh about thirty kilograms, as well as a few sea cucumbers and small green dragons."
"I didn't expect there to be so many abalone down there. This place is really a treasure."
Ah Zheng also rubbed his hands back and forth excitedly. Both of them were wet, but it didn't matter. They didn't care at all, just enjoying themselves.
“I don’t know where the sea is in other locations.
"Who knows, who would dive to the bottom of the sea if there is no need? There is a reason why abalone and sea cucumber are expensive. Fortunately for Jiang Yao, it doesn't necessarily grow on the bottom of the sea. It may grow at low tide lines."
"Dongzi, tell me the truth, are you burning too much incense?"
"Why are you burning incense? This is the smoke coming out of my ancestral grave. It's good luck. I will have everything going well and good fortune in the future. I will have a prosperous official career, be promoted step by step, and have a lot of money..."
"Okay, okay, shut your mouth, don't show off the achievements of your several days of literacy classes." Father Ye now gets a headache when he hears him speak. He really thinks of himself as a cultural person, bragging. That's it, start showing off again.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You care if he burns too much incense? Let's just get some light. Rest for a while. I'll go back later. It seems it's still early anyway."
"You can go into the water a few more times. It doesn't mean that if you don't get a good harvest today, you won't come to this sea area tomorrow. Then you won't be able to go into the water, and you may not be able to go into the water in the next few days."
"Yes, yes, we have to go into the water a few more times today and catch more fish."
"Take a break, I'll take the lead later."
The two of them happily decided with each other.
Ye Yaodong saw that they were all excited and did not stop him. The young man had good physical strength and would not be here for the next few days anyway. He had no plans to go into the water. He would let them go into the water two more times today.
He is not going to go down anymore. He has already gone down three times today. Take it easy. Anyway, he has already gained much more than he used to do alone.
It's a pity that his eldest brother and his second brother's boat didn't join his boat. Otherwise, he could have asked his eldest and second brothers to take turns getting into the water together and share a piece of the pie.
There is no need to fix who has to enter the water. If there are many people, he can just make money, which is more trouble-free. Anyway, we are all on our own, so we can just ask again after a few days depending on the situation.
This can be used as extra money by fishing in the water, which is better than their trawl net, a win-win situation.
After the two of them took turns entering the water twice more, they slumped down on the boat to catch their breath.
Xiaoxiao shook off the water stains on his hair and wiped the sea water on his face, "This diving is also very physically demanding."
"The main reason is that you haven't rested for long. Okay, don't go into the water today. We've caught enough. It's almost noon, and the noodles in the pot are almost ready. Let's go fishing for squid each after eating." Ye Yaodong said directly. Put your gear away so they won’t be able to part with it. ….
Ah Zheng looked up at the sky, "It's noon so soon?"
They had been in the water and didn't know what night it was on the shore. Looking at the sun high in the sky, they were shocked to realize how fast time passed in the water.
"Then let's share the harvest. If we don't get much cuttlefish later, we can come back and continue digging for abalone."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. If you make money, will everyone die?
"Don't act recklessly, otherwise you will have all kinds of physical problems when you get older."
"That's still several decades away, and I might not be able to survive until then." Azheng said nonchalantly.
Xiao Xiao patted him and said, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and divide the things into small pieces. It seems that they are not weighed..."
"Whatever, don't worry, we can break up after we go back." They are all friends, so he has nothing to worry about.
Today's harvest seems to be quite a lot, with a basket and a half of it. Ye Yaodong can weigh about twenty kilograms of abalone per person by visual inspection. There are also small green dragons and sea cucumbers, and each person can also share a few.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng were so happy that they grinned to the back of their heads. To them, these things today were no less than what they picked up for free. They were exciting, fun, and rewarding, maybe even better than the cuttlefish harvest.
"Then divide the little green dragons and sea cucumbers according to their quantity first, and then divide the abalone into three equal parts after we go back and weigh them."
"Oh, no problem, it's easy to say, we are all brothers and not outsiders."
"Okay, then we can divide it after we get back. Anyway, it won't be lost."
A few people simply ate a bowl of noodles. After filling their stomachs, they returned to their respective buoys where branches were placed.
It was just noon, and there were only a few squid scattered around the branches. There were not many of them. Ye Yaodong simply netted the squids with the branches and collected their eggs at the same time.
[In view of the general environment, he has not been here for two days. There are a series of densely packed eggs hanging on the branches. He collected them one by one and put them in the bucket.
Squid eggs are pickled with salt and can be preserved for a long time.
When eating, clean them, place them one by one in a basin, add a little cooking wine and ginger slices, and steam them in a pot. Pick one up and take a bite. It's creamy, salty, fresh and chewy, making it a worthy addition to your meal.
During this period, half a bucket was harvested every two days. A lot of it had been pickled at home. When Father Lin and Mother Lin left, Mother Ye packed a lot for them and asked them to take them home to eat slowly. She kept the rest in bottles. Bottles and jars can be packed and stored.
Father Ye also offered his hand and said: "I guess it is really almost gone. It's a pity that I didn't have any time in the past two days. Otherwise, I could have caught a little more."
"It's nothing to be sorry about. I haven't received many goods in the past two days. I can only say that they are so-so."
"Why did you charge 1/3 from your friends earlier? They all said they would give you half."
"That's almost it. How can you live with so much conscience? They are quite dangerous underwater. I was on the shore and didn't do anything. I just brought out some equipment. And they were not the boatmen I hired. I just treated them as a help. Friends."
"Then why don't you let your eldest and second brothers go into the water and help them?" Ye's father wanted to ask before, but because Dongzi's two friends were there, he was embarrassed to say it.
"They're not here!" Ye Yaodong said matter-of-factly.
Their boats usually don't go with his. They all habitually stay in the sea area where Ye's father took them before. No one is here with him, so how can he teach him?
Father Ye thought for a while, that was the case.
"Tomorrow we will go fishing in the sea where your eldest and second brother are staying. The brothers will also be able to take care of you. After a while, let them come back here together. If we take turns going into the water, we can catch more."
"Um."
He knows what his father is thinking.
They are both sons, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. Of course, if something good happens, I want to take advantage of my son first. .
