Chapter 478 Is the Blue Ball a Jellyfish?

The sea surface was constantly ups and downs, and a week had passed by the time it was completely calm.

During this period of time in the village, in addition to what was grown in the fields, everyone in the village relied on going to the sea to pick up some small seafood, as well as all kinds of shellfish and small fish that had been blown up by the typhoon. There was no good weather to dry them, so they used them all to pickle them. .

Salted fish, drunken crabs, drunken shrimps, cold oysters, and vegetables, there is no need to worry about running out of food.

Even without being able to go to sea for more than half a month, the villagers were very anxious, and some even went to work as casual workers for a few days.

Of course, it was impossible for Ye Yaodong to earn those three melons and two dates, so he just took it as a rest, but he was also a little eager to make money.

If he hadn't bought the shop before, he would definitely be able to take a break. Anyway, he made a lot of money, so it didn't matter. Now that he can't do it anymore, he is really stressed.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, the weather was fine again, with no wind or waves.

The three brothers felt relieved when they saw that the weather had finally cleared up. They would have to spend a lot of money at the end of the year, and they all wanted to make more money quickly.

"I didn't expect that two typhoons came in succession. I couldn't go to sea for most of the month, and the losses were huge."

"Dongzi, we are going to sail to the haven after breakfast. Do you want to come with us?" Ye Yaohua asked Ye Yaodong.

"Okay, let's go together."

After the typhoon, the weather finally cleared, and everyone couldn't wait to go to the safe harbor to sail.

When they arrived, they happened to see fishing boats taking shelter from the wind leaving the harbor one after another. Hundreds of boats left at the same time, giving the feeling of a hundred boats competing against each other.

The three Ye Yaodong brothers stood on the shore and watched from above. The scene was quite spectacular.

This is no less than the scene on the first day of opening the sea after the fishing ban in later generations, that is, the ships on the sea are now relatively small and shabby.

There's nothing we can do about it, the times have just begun to develop.

"There are so many ships~"

"Aren't there boats all over the seaside? Some people still regard boats as their homes. They eat, drink, and take care of themselves on them, and occasionally go to villages on land to exchange for some firewood, rice, oil, and salt."

"Everyone was anxious to go out to sea. Just as the weather cleared, they all came out of the harbor."

"If I don't go to sea, I will eat dirt~" Ye Yaodong said and took the lead to go down.

"Let's go and set sail."

After boarding the ship, Ye Yaodong took the lead in unlocking the cabin and checking the scattered items in the cabin, including his diving equipment. He also opened the nylon bag and a few pieces of rags that had been covering the machine. This important thing must be double protected and covered tightly.

After everything was checked and there was no problem, he went to sail the boat with confidence.

After a large number of fishing boats left the shelter, they sailed in all directions. There were also many fishing boats in the same direction.

His boat had sufficient horsepower, a little more powerful than the boat of his eldest and second brother. Originally, they drove out of the safe harbor one step ahead of him, but now that he had caught up with them, he slowed down a little, and the two boats kept pace.

There are many seabirds flying on the sea, sometimes spreading their wings and sometimes making cheerful calls.

Some were flying at very low altitude, looking like they were looking for food; some bold enough to park directly on the edge of the fishing boat, and no one cared about them.

Ye Yaodong also saw a seabird swooping down in front of him like lightning. As soon as his body hit the sea water, he flew up again with a shining silver fish in his mouth.

The blue sky and white clouds still make people feel happy.

After the boat docked at the village pier, his father had already helped him transport the ground cage on a pallet truck in advance and was waiting on the shore.

These 40 floor cages have made a lot of contributions to him from the beginning to now, and he has no intention of giving them up. Although most of them are gone now, they are better than nothing, and they can still come in handy occasionally.

Seeing this, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also helped him move all the cages to the boat.

"Dongzi, are you going to drive out and release the ground cage now?"

"Let it go, I'm idle anyway, and it's not lunch time yet. I have to send the hooks to someone to sort them out in the afternoon, and I have to go to the mountain to chop some firewood and come back. There's quite a lot to do. Yes, if you finish the work, I can go to sea with peace of mind at night."

Ye Yaohua said quickly: "Please ask your second sister-in-law to make the ten baskets of hooks. Don't ask outsiders. She is also free and can help with a little bit."

"That's okay! Anyway, we go to sea at night. You have finished your own work, and you can help me sort it out. I will calculate the wages for others, and I will also calculate the wages for the second sister-in-law."

It seems that his second brother and sister-in-law also have a sense of urgency and are eager to make more money.

No one wants to taste the feeling of being in debt.

Ye Yaohua smiled innocently on his dark face, "They are all family members, you can do whatever you want."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

While they were moving the cages, there were many people moving back and forth to the boat carrying fishing nets and other things. Everyone was waiting for the wind and waves to subside to have a good time, and some eager people had already taken the boat out to cast the nets.

At this time, Aguang and Pei's father actually drove a boat to the shore and stopped beside their fishing boat.

Father Ye was surprised, "Have you bought the boat?"

"Yes, we have made an agreement a few days ago and found a good person. We will bring the boat back today and we can go to sea at night."

Ye Yaodong asked: "Then don't you have to leave one person at home to pick up the goods?"

"Let my uncle help pick up the goods for a few days. There is something wrong with the machine on his ship and it will take a few days to repair. Later, I can ask my father's friend to help pick up the goods."

"Then just make the arrangements."

At this time, Father Ye felt a pity that he was the only son in the family, and there was no woman who could help him. If the stall was too big, he might not be able to use it, so he would have to have more sons. It's a pity, we can't do it now. Allowed to have more births.

Fortunately, he has many sons and many grandchildren. It makes sense to have more children and more blessings.

After saying hello, they went about their business, and Ye Yaodong also went to put down the floor cage.

There are small wooden boats working everywhere on the sea. I haven’t seen such excitement in many days.

But when he finished setting the fishing net, he saw several small wooden boats gathering together in the distance at the same time. He thought something was wrong, so he drove the boat over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got close, I saw a blue ball floating on the sea, and several fishing boats gathered around to communicate and discuss with each other.

Ye Yaodong did not rush to catch it. Instead, he moved the boat closer to other fishing boats and asked some old men on the boat.

He still understands the first-come, first-served rule.

"Uncle, what are those balls? They look blue. Have you picked them up and looked at them?"

"We're not sure what they are. We just caught a few. They look quite rare. They're still blue. They should be a type of jellyfish."

“When I saw it before, there weren’t so many, but now it seems that there are more and more. I don’t know where they came from.”

"We have caught several, but we all feel that they are not jellyfish, but colored jellyfish. If there are none and we have not reached out to touch them, they are probably of no use."

No wonder they are not in a hurry to salvage it. If it is a jellyfish, who would want it?

There are a lot of transparent jellyfish on the seabed along the coast, weighing tens or hundreds of pounds each. If the fishing net catches them, they will push them into the sea, which is disgusting.

However, such small, colorful ones are quite rare along the coast.

"Isn't it a jellyfish?"

"I've caught several but nothing."

Ye Yaodong was a little curious, "I'll go over and get a few to see."

He moved the boat to the side and caught a few blue balls with his hand net. The small bodies were still printed with the blue of the sea, which looked very beautiful.

Although he has extensive fishing experience and has seen many marine creatures, this is the first time he has seen this mysterious blue ball, which looks like a bomb.

However, it can also be seen from the shape that this is probably a type of jellyfish. The judgment of those old fishermen should be correct.

While he was fishing for the blue balls, the fishing boats next to him stayed for a while and planned to leave one after another. The jellyfish were of little value and staying here was a waste of time.

Ye Yaodong took advantage of the fact that he had gloves on his hands, so he put this little blue thing on his hands, being careful not to touch its tentacles. He found that it felt as smooth as jelly, just like a common jellyfish. They are all from duangguang, qq bomb.

He thought that he had caught everything, and it looked pretty good-looking. Anyway, the bucket was empty today, and he didn't get anything. So he simply fetched a bucket of seawater, put this in and raised it, and took it back to show the growth to a few children. gain knowledge.

This one looks beautiful in color and cute. A few little ones will probably like it. It can’t be played with in the hands, but it can also be poked and played with branches.

But he didn't expect that when he was fetching sea water with a bucket, he saw a round ball with a slightly different appearance running into the bucket, and it was several times bigger?

He lifted the bucket to the boat suspiciously and asked, "Isn't this a jellyfish?"

When I took it out, I saw that it was indeed a jellyfish. There were eight notches on the edge of its umbrella, but there were no tentacles like a jellyfish.

And the most important thing is the brown layer attached under its umbrella. This is what they call "jellyfish blood" in the local language, and it is also the most expensive part of the jellyfish.

He took it to the side and compared it with several blue balls in the hand-made net. The difference in length was quite large. There was really a swallow mixed in among a group of crows.

Jellyfish are also jellyfish, but jellyfish are not jellyfish.

It is one of the very few edible species of jellyfish. Although most jellyfish are poisonous, jellyfish are edible and nutritious.

This jellyfish is much heavier than the blue ball. Although it doesn't look that big, it feels like it weighs more than 20 kilograms when you hold it. This is because the water on its body is very heavy.

A jellyfish can be divided into jellyfish skin, jellyfish edges, jellyfish brain, jellyfish head and scraped jellyfish blood.

The most expensive jellyfish blood can be sold for 1,500 per catty in the future. However, as the number of breedings increases, the price has dropped a bit, but it is still very expensive.

Ye Yaodong happily threw this jellyfish into another empty bucket and planned to continue fishing to see if one could get in here. There must be one more.
