Chapter 485: Adding Fish to Increase Luck

Ye Yaodong was also happy and at ease. Anyway, he could rest assured that his father was sailing the boat, and it was already dawn, so there would be no problem with his sight. He could take turns driving, and one person would not be tired even if he sailed for a while.

After handing the boat over to his father, he went to chat with two of their cousins ​​and a cousin.

After returning from rebirth, he has been working for the family, and later went overseas to make money. He is not very familiar with his cousins. They all have their own friends, and there is also an age gap. They have very little contact. At most, they just say hello when they meet on the road. , now we can chat all the way.

"Dongzi, you are so hardworking that you even traveled so far to deliver goods."

"Yes, have you confirmed that someone wants it?"

Ye Yaosheng was concerned about another matter, "I heard from my third uncle that if we encounter a jellyfish flood season at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, we will have to stay there for a while."

The eldest cousin and the second cousin also quickly looked over with concern.

Ye Yaodong said firmly: "Yes, if we stay there for a few months, you should be fine, right?"

Since his father had called someone, he must have told him in advance, and he just asked casually.

All three of them nodded in unison.

"It just so happens that I haven't been doing much work recently. After the typhoon, many ships were damaged and need maintenance."

"The money for portage is a bit small."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Sell all the goods on the boat when we get there. If there is a flood season, we can fish there for a while. If not, we can only come back directly."

He put his hands on the edge of the boat and watched the ripples on the sea reflecting the green mountains in the distance. The morning sea breeze was still very cool and there was no trace of heat.

】

He felt his stomach and felt a little hungry. When he got up at night, his wife cooked him a bowl of longevity noodles with two eggs on top. Four or five hours had passed.

He rummaged through the bag on his shoulder, and suddenly he felt like he was touching a lot of eggs. He opened the bag and took the cans and noodles, tea cakes aside, only to see a round and white pile.

Counting silently, there were ten, which was quite a lot. He thought he had only cooked two or three.

He took out five and planned to give one to each of them. His father would eat them later while the boat was sailing. Unexpectedly, they refused and took out their own eggs.

"We all have them."

Ye Yaodong put it away clearly. There was nothing easy to take with him to eat when he was out. It was common to boil a few eggs, not to mention that they had a local saying of peace eggs.

Everyone unanimously placed the eggs on the edge of the boat and knocked them. When they lowered their heads, they saw a group of small silvery fish swimming under the water not far away.

"What kind of fish? It looks a bit small, not even as long as a little finger, and very thin."

"Silverbait?"

"It looks like it."

"It's a pity that the boat is full of cargo and there is no space to cast the net."

"I can't catch any fish, but luckily it's whitebait. If it were yellow croaker, I'd be beating my chest."

"Don't!" Ye Yaodong quickly stopped Ye Yaosheng from continuing, "Don't say anything wrong, otherwise everyone will feel uncomfortable."

Ye Yaosheng smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? If there is really a yellow croaker, I will jump in and catch it myself...fuck...fuck...yellow...little yellow croaker..."

Before he finished speaking, as the boat passed by quickly, he saw a group of yellow fish following the whitebait group. He thought they were really yellow croakers. He was so startled that the eggs in his hand fell directly into the sea.

After identifying it as a small yellow croaker, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really just talking casually...

Others were surprised when they saw the yellow ones and thought they were yellow croakers. Later they realized that the yellow croakers during the day were not golden.

"Small yellow croaker, I thought it was a big yellow croaker too."

"Me too."

Ye Yaodong thought he was right at first, and his heart skipped a beat. Now that he realized it was not the case, he felt a little disappointed.

It would be great if it was really a big yellow croaker. You can’t catch them all in one go, you can just catch a few!

The fishing boat was moving fast, and the fish schools were also moving. After a while, the two groups of fish passed directly by. He wanted to use a hand net to catch a few fish but it was too late.

If it was a big yellow croaker, he would just ask his father to stop the boat and turn around to catch up, and forget about the small yellow croaker.

Ye Yaodong laughed and took out an egg from the bag and handed it to Ye Yaosheng, "I was shocked. I thought you had opened your mouth and lost an egg in vain."

At this time, Ye Yaosheng did not refuse, took his eggs and peeled them again, and said with a smile: "I also thought I was going to go into the water, but it's a pity. It would be great if it was really yellow croaker. You can just catch it. You can do it this time." I’ve made a lot of money.”

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Forget it, I can't use it. The most I can do is use my hands to make a net. I can't even net a few nets if I swim so fast. I still pray that I can sell all the goods this time and I can encounter the jellyfish fishing flood." alright."

"Too."

After this episode, everyone became more familiar with each other, and the subsequent conversation about things at sea no longer felt dry.

Ye Yaodong also peeled two eggs and handed them to his father to cushion his stomach. By the way, he asked where he was?

Father Ye took two bites and almost choked to death. After drinking a pot of tea, he said: "It may take more than seven or eight hours, it may take ten hours. It will take us until 12 o'clock to reach the shore. I underestimated the distance, overestimated it." The speed of the boat has increased, and the wind direction is a bit wrong now.”

"It's 12 o'clock? There's nothing you can do about it, as long as you don't lose your way."

After thinking about it, sea transportation has always been slower than land transportation, which is understandable.

Fortunately, there is an awning on the top, which can block the midday sun in the middle.

Father Ye affirmed: "There is no problem with the direction."

"Then drive slowly."

Ye Yaodong looked at the endless sea and twisted his neck and waist in boredom. The boat was going too fast. Otherwise, he could fish to pass the time, but he still had to hurry now.

With nothing to do, he started walking around on the ship. His special machine was always wrapped up unless it was in use. It was so tight that no one could tell what it was and they wouldn't mess with it.

Walking into the cabin, he casually picked up the bag of jellyfish blood and saw two hand nets placed in the corner. After thinking about it, he put down the jellyfish blood, took out the hand nets, and carried them on his shoulders.

What if we encounter a school of fish again later?

At least, keep it on hand for later use. If you see it, you might be able to catch two with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Chen Jianian saw him fishing out the net with two hands, and laughed and teased him, "You are planning to always be ready to catch yellow croaker."

"Are you prepared for any danger? What if Brother Asheng is right? Then I will have nothing on my hands, so I won't regret it."

Ye Yaosheng chuckled, "Then I have to ask Mazu for blessing."

Ye Yaodong leaned his hand net against the side of the boat, leaned his back against it, and said with some regret: "If I had known it would take so long, I would have brought a watermelon. It feels hot as soon as the sun rises."

"It's okay, the sea breeze is quite comfortable. Didn't I say it would arrive before noon? It won't be very hot," said the eldest cousin.

"If it's more comfortable to eat watermelon, my dad said it might not arrive until 12 o'clock."

"That's not too long. The weather is good today and the sea is calm, making it easy to sail."

"Um."

Anyway, we have been driving for such a long time, so it won’t be more than an hour or two more.

Everyone was bored and leaning on the side of the boat, blowing in the wind and chatting, telling all kinds of interesting or strange things at sea.

"When we were sailing in the dark, a light bulb was hung on the boat, which attracted a group of fish to jump on the boat. Some of them jumped onto the edge of the boat and fell into the boat, and some fell directly back into the sea, causing great harm to us. Everyone hurriedly fished it out."

"You are lucky. We have encountered a bluefin tuna weighing several hundred kilograms before. A boatmate leaned against the side of the boat and was attacked by the bluefin tuna. The tail of the fish slapped him hard on the back of the head, and then The fish went back into the sea and escaped.”

"Really? What happened to that person?"

Everyone turned around in unison, no longer leaning against the side of the ship. If the space on the ship hadn't been limited, leaving only a small path in the middle and a narrow path along the side of the ship, they would have taken a few steps back.

A few hundred kilograms of bluefin tuna is no joke. What if they were hit on the head and completely disabled?

"After being patted, he threw himself forward. Fortunately, he was helped by someone, and then he fainted and kept vomiting. Later, he went ashore and was sent to the health center for examination. He was diagnosed with a concussion."

"That's really an unforeseen disaster."

"No one can say otherwise. You can encounter anything at sea. For example, when I was running a boat before, I encountered a fishing boat. There was no one on it, and I didn't hear the sound of the engine. It just drifted on the sea for no reason. But But I heard some weird noises. Fortunately, we fishermen are very brave, but we were also scared to death and quickly burned a few pieces of yellow paper."

Ye Yaodong also shrank when he heard this. He had encountered it before and quickly drove away from the boat, not daring to get close.

This kind of ship is very evil and it is not a good thing to encounter it.

He quickly stopped everyone from continuing to talk about this, "Don't talk, don't talk about such unlucky things, we are still at sea, there are still a few hours to go, talk about good luck."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't talk about these evil things. We have to say something nice when we are out," Chen Jianian said quickly. Businessmen also believe in luck.

Everyone quickly changed the topic and couldn't help but say when they saw fish jumping out of the water from time to time: "It would be great if a big fish jumped directly onto our boat."

"Do you think all big fish are as stupid as Silly?"

"Not always……"

Ye Yaodong's hands felt a little itchy when he looked at the water. He took the hand net and put it into the water. As the boat moved forward, the hand net kept pulling the sea water, and the resistance was not small.

He pulled it for a while and then lifted it up. There were only a few small shrimps inside. He casually took a still fresh small white shrimp and put it in his mouth, and shared the remaining few with others.

Then he continued to put it down and repeated it several times.

If you have nothing to do, you can just fish and play to pass the time.

Unexpectedly, he originally just wanted to fish for fun, but as he was playing, he suddenly saw a red figure looming under the water, which was also covered by his hand net.

Not only did he see it, but others also saw it, and everyone was a little surprised.

"There's fish!"

"There's fish!"

"Dongzi, there is fish!"

"What kind of red fish is that? Pick it up and take a look!"

Ye Yaodong was also surprised and picked up the hand net, "Real sea bream!"

"Gajiyu!" Everyone said in unison.

Chen Jianian said happily: "This fish is auspicious, it just washes away the unlucky words just said, so that we can have a smooth journey."

"This fish is good, add good luck, increase luck."

Everyone was very happy to see it was a real sea bream.
