Chapter 486 Colorful Jellyfish

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. Originally he was just fishing for fun when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect to get an unexpected harvest.

When he took the fish out of the net, it could still shake twice.

Chen Jianian said with some regret: "It's only about a pound, not big, just a bit small."

"It's okay, it's just for fun anyway, it doesn't matter how big or small it is." He said nonchalantly.

Ye Yaosheng smiled and agreed: "It's good luck."

Ye Yaodong nodded. This fish is quite auspicious. It looks good-looking and is bright red in color. Under the sunlight, the scales on its body are still covered with water drops, making them crystal clear.

Generally, people who fish at the beach will consider it a good sign if they catch a sea bream.

As long as the meaning is good.

It doesn't matter whether it's big or not.

In fact, there is a story behind the origin of the name of Jiaji Fish...

According to legend, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty went on an eastern expedition and came to Penglai, Shandong, where Dengzhou is now.

One day, he chose an auspicious day to cross the sea and visit Changshan Island, which is now the Fairy Mountain on the sea. After tasting a beautiful-looking and delicious fish on the island, he asked the accompanying civil and military officials what the name of this fish was?

The ministers did not dare to talk nonsense, so they bowed and replied: "The emperor gives me a name."

Taizong was delighted, thinking that he had chosen an auspicious day to cross the sea, and tasting fresh fish would add luster to the auspicious day, so he named it "Jiaji Fish".

The black gargi fish is called black sea bream, also called sea crucian carp, the red gargi fish is called red sea bream, and the one with yellow fins is called yellow sea bream or yellow-fin sea bream.

As long as the fish in the sea are a little different, they all have different names.

There was nothing on hand to put the fish in, so Ye Yaodong had to go to the small cabin to find a bucket. At the same time, he took out a few ice cubes from the bucket of jellyfish brains outside to keep it fresh, otherwise it would be damaged if left in the high temperature for a few hours. .

After settling down, he continued to play. There was a hand-made net next to him. His eldest cousin also used it and imitated him putting it in the water to play with. When they felt the resistance increased, they picked it up. From time to time, they could also bring some small fish and shrimps. .

It's more difficult to catch bigger fish. After all, few fish swim on the surface, and they are all a few meters underwater. Only occasionally do they swim up to the surface to take a breath.

As time goes by, the sun rises higher and hotter, and the temperature gradually climbs, but the sea breeze brought by the boat is still cool.

Along the way, we met a lot of fish boats intermittently, some big and some small, but they moved fast and disappeared after a while.

Ye Yaodong looked into the distance. Beyond the sea was a blue horizon, and a little further away were dotted islands, stretching to the extreme end of his sight.

He lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock. If his father's prediction was accurate, it would probably be there in another hour.

The boat trip was boring. Apart from playing with the hand-made net, I could only stand there and look at the scenery, blowing in the sea breeze, and being in a daze.

Fortunately, the people on the boat were all old people and there was no seasickness. If there was no extra space on the boat, he could have brought a deck of cards to play cards together.

While everyone was looking around in boredom, the eldest cousin was lying on the edge of the boat and suddenly exclaimed, "There are jellyfish, the net is so heavy..."

In an instant, Ye Yaodong also felt that his hand-made net was too heavy. The resistance in his hands became even greater as the fishing boat moved forward. Everyone invariably lowered their heads and looked at the sea.

At the same time, the speed of the fishing boat suddenly slowed down, and everyone looked around again, and they were extremely surprised.

I saw many colorful jellyfish groups floating on the surrounding sea surface. It was so beautiful at first glance.

Before Ye Yaodong could shout, Ye's father had already stopped the boat.

He was steering the ship in front of him. How could he still know the conditions of the surrounding sea? Just to stop the boat, you need to slow down and stop.

After the boat was parked and anchored, Father Ye came over excitedly.

"Dongzi, it's really the jellyfish flood season here. There are a lot of jellyfish floating in the sea ahead, and they come in all colors."

"I caught one online."

Ye Yaodong took advantage of the boat to stop and quickly picked up the hand net with both hands.

It was very heavy. He estimated that this one weighed more than 30 kilograms, which was bigger than the one he caught from them two days ago.

If the boat hadn't stopped, he wouldn't have been able to pick up the jellyfish.

Father Ye also saw the jellyfish in his net and said happily: "This one is big and has good material. One of them is as good as the several we killed before."

The one from my eldest cousin was a bit difficult to pick up. He couldn't lift it after trying several times, so he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I can't handle this one here. It's too big to pick up, so I have to let it go."

Everyone looked over and saw that he tilted the net, and a huge aqua blue jellyfish floated to the surface again.

"Good guy, the one in your net weighs at least fifty or sixty pounds."

"I feel like I weigh sixty or seventy pounds."

The eldest cousin nodded, "It's almost the same, so it's not easy to pick it up."

Ye Yaodong also glanced at it and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I'll get one up first and take a look. There are quite a lot of them on the sea. I don't miss yours."

While talking, he also fished out the one in his hand, and the water under the net suddenly dripped into the sea.

Everyone said in unison: "It's really big!"

"The one just now was bigger..."

"It's really the jellyfish flood season, Dongzi, this trip is right..."

Chen Jianian also said happily: "I just said this is the flood season for jellyfish. I won't be wrong."

"Although there are a lot of jellyfish on the sea, it's hard to say how the market will be. We still have to sell the divided jellyfish on the boat first. How long will it take for us to dock, dad?" Ye Yaodong looked at his father and asked, in his heart My head feels a little hot and a little anxious.

"This is already the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. If you want to dock, you can find a small dock in a village to dock at any time. However, it is estimated that you will have to drive a while to get to Yangping County. I am not sure how long it will take. We will continue driving later. have a look."

Chen Jianian had mentioned that he wanted to go to Yangping County, which is a border county in Zhejiang Province close to Fujian Province. It was also the purpose of their trip.

"Don't worry, as long as you handle the divided jellyfish without any problems, someone will definitely want them. I have already asked you in advance. As long as you dock in Yangping County, I can contact the factory to pull the goods over." Chen Jianian packed up Votes, for sure.

Ye Yaodong nodded.

"There is a fishing season here, so there should be fishing boats nearby, but why is the sea so empty, with only floating jellyfish?" Ye Yaosheng said doubtfully.

"Is it possible that at this time, the ships have already sailed back to unload a wave of ships? After all, they have to be killed alive." The eldest cousin pondered.

The second cousin also agreed, "It's very possible. After all, it's noon. It's time to take a boat back and come out after lunch."

Ye Yaodong also tended to think that the boat had already pulled back, or maybe it was a bit far away and the sea was wide, so the boat couldn't be seen.

Ye Yaosheng asked again with some hesitation: "Third uncle, Dongzi, what should we do now? The things on this boat are piled high, and we don't have anywhere to put them when we fish them out."

Others also turned to look at the stacked baskets on the boat, and felt a little worried for a moment. Indeed, there was no space to put them on the boat after they were taken out. Originally, there was only a path for walking.

It would be a pity if we couldn't catch them. There were so many of them, and we happened to see them as we were passing by. I felt like I was losing a lot if I didn't catch them by the way.

Father Ye thought for a while and said: "Put the fishing net down along the slide. We can drag it while the boat is sailing, so we can't lift the net. When we reach the place, drag it directly to the shore. The water level around the coast is also shallow. It will not sink after stopping the boat. It’s okay, manpower will pull it up when the time comes.”

Ye Yaodong also thought about it just now. Although the boat cannot stop during the trawling process, if it stops, it will sink. However, the water level on the shore is shallow, so it doesn't matter if it sinks. They still have strong labor force anyway.

Moreover, the load-bearing capacity of the net hoisting machine is one ton. Beyond this weight, the net hoisting machine will be overloaded.

Looking at the jellyfish floating on the sea from time to time, there are very few small ones, and most of them are on the large side. The small ones weigh more than ten kilograms, and the big ones weigh sixty or seventy kilograms. If you make a compromise, you can catch a 30 kilogram fish for 30 kilograms. The 900-pound net lifting machine cannot pull it up because the weight of the fishing net itself is not light, and there are a lot of lead weights tied to it.

If there are many nets, they will still have to be dragged to the shore slowly by labor.

Others also thought it was feasible after hearing what Father Ye said.

"Then let's put the net down."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I'll go to the cabin and drag out the fishing net."

Several people immediately became busy and helped organize the fishing nets.

I have been out at sea for several hours, just standing there and watching. Now I finally have a place to use it. The three men invited are all very active.

Father Ye also went ahead to pull the anchor and prepare to sail the boat.

When the fishing boat was moving forward slowly, they released the net gear from the stern chute, connected the net plate to the tow frame and separated it from the two net frame frames, and gradually released the two tow frames.

After the dragline was released to the predetermined length, Ye's father moved forward in the direction pointed by the compass. Their direction of travel remained unchanged, but because of fishing, the speed of the boat slowed down.

With these jellyfish floating on the sea, Ye Yaodong was more looking forward to this trip.

The same goes for Father Ye.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the eldest brother and the second child. It would be great if they came with him on this trip. With him taking them, he wouldn't be afraid of getting lost.

I didn’t expect that the usually honest second child would be so decisive. It’s just that the boss was more on the safe side and didn’t agree. It’s a pity.

But you can't blame the boss. It's right to be cautious about unknown things.

Father Ye made up his mind to sell the jellyfish on the boat after they docked. If they could sell them for a good price, he would ask Dongzi to call back immediately.

The fishing boat moved forward at a certain speed and watched the villages disappear behind it. Father Ye continued to move forward unhurriedly.

Along the way, we could intermittently see jellyfish of various colors floating on the sea, and we also encountered many fishing boats at work, all fishing for jellyfish.

The jellyfish in the fishing nets are floating on the sea, and passing ships can see them clearly.
