Chapter 525 Wooden Stick Hits Water

Those dolphins are also very agile. Seeing so many fishing boats surrounding them, they no longer care about the schools of fish. They jump on the sea surface and scream a few times before diving underwater.

Ye Yaodong and the others only cast one more net than others, but the two nets they cast later were not as large as the first net.

There are not many fish in the sea anymore, and all the ones that should run away have escaped, but the fishing boats on the sea are still crowded, and there are actually fishing boats coming in the distance?

After he laughed twice, he quickly drove the boat out of the pile and drove towards the shore.

Father Ye was pouring out the fish from the fishing net. When he saw another boat coming, someone shouted to him: "Are there any more fish?"

He smiled and said: "There is soup!"

"So fast, isn't it true that the dolphins are chasing the fish? Are you all catching up? Oops, are you getting rich again?"

"To make a fortune, today the trawl net can't haul more than two baskets of fish. They are all worthless. I almost lost money and can't even make back the gas money. So I came back early to save money on the sea." Oil. I just took the opportunity to catch two or three nets. Let's go, go... you won't even have a hair in the past."

When Ye Yaodong saw that his father had finished speaking, he sped away, leaving behind a crowd of people talking.

After returning to the shore, they realized that everyone had returned very early today because the harvest was very dismal and there was no need to waste time at sea.

And they have replenished the fish stocks twice, and now the harvest is pretty good.

The crowd was also saying that they had a good harvest today. Today, the fishing boats generally came back early, and only a few were still out. It was because there was no cargo, so they docked early. Only two or three scattered boats had a good harvest.

"Did you catch a lot of fish from that wave of fish over there just now?"

"The group of fish are still surrounding their boat. It's not a good time to catch them..."

"Ah, yes, yes, those dolphins were driving the fish to the open sea just now. Why did they turn around and drive the fish towards your boat?"

"Yeah, why did those dolphins drive the fish towards you? Is there any trick here?"

"Huh? My boat seemed to have passed by them just now. I seemed to see A Dong hitting the water with two wooden sticks? Is there any explanation here?"

"Yes, yes, is there anything to say? Otherwise, why would those dolphins turn around again while driving the fish?"

They sorted and weighed the goods, which took a long time, and they had to wait for Ah Cai to settle the accounts. They calculated for a while, but before they could go home in time, they were blocked by people who had just returned from the sea, and everyone gathered around them to ask questions.

"Tell me about it. I'll let you all know about it, fellow villagers. You won't lose anything if you tell me. You are all making a living at sea..."

"Yes, everyone has seen it anyway, tell me..."

Seeing so many people surrounding them curiously, Ye Yaodong simply said generously: "There is a saying that hitting the water with a wooden stick can attract dolphins, because the sound of a wooden stick hitting the water is very similar to the sound of a fish that dolphins like to eat. .”

"In the future, when everyone finds a school of fish, they will hit the water like this. If there are dolphins nearby, they will run directly over. Moreover, they also like to drive away the school of fish. After discovering the school of fish, they will help us pick up the fish. The crowd drove over."

"Is this so? No wonder, why did the dolphin turn around suddenly?"

"So that's it... no wonder everyone is surrounding your boat..."

"I understand, I have learned now. If I encounter a school of fish in the future, I will do this and avoid being run away by the school of fish."

"A Dong is becoming more and more successful, and he knows more and more. We old fishermen don't know as much as you do. Your father will be able to enjoy the blessings in the future. The three brothers are all so successful, they all have their own boats, and they can still make money. …”

"Yes, we have been working in the sea for decades, and we don't know as much as he does. We looked down upon him before..."

"Ye Laosan is lucky. When he gets old, he will have three sons to take care of him, so he won't have to worry about food and drink..."

"Yes, how come you are so good at giving birth and teaching? All three sons are equally promising. I heard some time ago that each of them has earned a household worth ten thousand yuan. Is that right?"

"That's better than the 10,000 yuan household that raised pigs in the newspaper last year. They only earned 10,000 yuan raising pigs for a whole year, but you earned it in two months. Ouch... you are really prosperous..."

The more people talked, the more excited they became, as if they were the ones making the money.

Although there is a local saying that when everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise. People say that you are lucky, make money, have money, etc. The more you say this, the better your luck will be and the richer you will become, which is quite a lot. Yu helps you sing g.

However, if the news is too exaggerated, it will be too much, and there are so many cases of pink eye. I don’t even know who the bastard wrote the report letter I received before. Everyone is singing hi and everyone is singing hi, so he has to keep a low profile.

Ye Yaodong quickly explained, "There are not so many. It's an exaggeration. It sounds like there is no need to spend money. When you are away from home, how can you have the convenience and convenience of being at home? You have to take care of everything when you are away, and you need money for everything. Spending money is like running water, and eating and drinking at home is not necessary. Money, why don’t you pay for eating and drinking outside?”

"Although I earn more, I admit that, but I also spend a lot. The salary and fuel money are not the biggest part? It's really not as exaggerated as what is said outside..."

Father Ye also quickly said: "The expenses are huge outside, and the workers' wages are high. We have spent one or two thousand in the past two months outside. Also, my boss and second son are in a partnership on the same boat, and we share it half and half." , but not much, just a little better than trawling at home."

"That's a lot of money. A Dong is now a role model for the young people in the village. Everyone talks about you and praises you every day."

"Yes, that boy in my family is also very lazy, and I don't want to learn from you. He is still lazy and has not made any progress. It is difficult to find a wife. The matchmaker introduced him to someone who is either lame or has a cleft lip. Or their faces are full of pockmarks, none of them are decent..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Are you comparing him to a short winter melon?

Do you think he doesn't know their son?

It is tall, short and fat, so people give it the nickname "Short Winter Melon". If you work hard and work hard, you can still have a decent wife. If you have no capital at all, no strengths, and a lot of shortcomings, what can your wife be like? Can you compare with him?

Fortunately, there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd, so he didn't need to refute it himself, someone else would speak up.

"Don't compare your son to A Dong. After all, his parents are good-looking and are now successful. If your son has someone who can make money like this, why can't he find a wife? You'd better marry your son a wife first. Besides, don’t think there’s something wrong with the girl, as long as she can give birth to children and carry on the family line..."

"That is to say, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, what kind of turtle goes with what kind of tortoise..."

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? My son has hands and feet, why should I find something wrong with him? What if a child is born with a lame, pockmarked, and cleft lip?"

"It's not hereditary. If it's hereditary from generation to generation, then what's the point?"

"Then you have to find a decent one..."

"Haha~ It's the same even if the lights are turned off..."

Ye Yaodong listened to everyone talking and slipped out of the crowd.

"This word has been spread endlessly, how can they calculate the ten thousand yuan household for them?"

Father Ye said in a low voice: "But your current total wealth is indeed worth ten thousand yuan."

"There are several invisible ten thousand-yuan households in our village, and I am not the least of them. Keep a low profile. Besides, I don't have ten thousand-yuan households even if I have to pay for it with cash. I have to add up all my assets."

"Several ones? Who are they?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and said, "Think for yourself!"

Although it is not easy to earn a household worth ten thousand yuan these days, it is not too rare. It is just that some people are better at hiding it and keeping a low profile, knowing not to be in the limelight.

And some people who have achieved a little bit just want to hear praise and want everyone to know about it.

"Forget it, it's none of our business. Do you still want to make a sticky net? The weather is getting colder day by day, and the wind is often blowing. There will be less time to go to sea. It's up to you."

"Let's do it. I can go to sea every day. At least I can supplement my family's income and earn a bite to eat. I also made a good income using the sticky net last year, but it's not convenient to borrow machines from Uncle Lin this year. Let's use manpower first. Check it out."

Father Ye nodded, "When I was drinking with your Uncle Lin some time ago, I heard him talk about it. He said that he made only average money from trawling last winter, and he planned to do more sticky netting this winter."

"Well, I'll find someone to order dozens of sticky nets when I get back later. The quantity is too small and I haven't done anything yet. If you want to do more, make more."

"You can figure it out yourself." Father Ye was quite relieved about him now.

Although there were not many empty hooks in longline fishing today, and there were as many fish hanging under the pulled main line as door curtains, most of the fish caught were mackerel minnows and those that were not very valuable.

The size of the fish driven by the dolphins varies even more, some are bigger, some are pitifully small, and many of them are sardines, anchovies, and Balang fish.

Some fish are worth some money, and some are not worth much at all. Although there are a lot of fish, they only sold for more than 40 yuan today.

This is based on usage. There has been less valuable goods recently, and he also left 200 kilograms of Balang fish to take back to dry.

The northwest wind blowing these days is very suitable for drying fish. The dried Balang fish at home was dried last year and has bottomed out. When they cook noodles, they will tear off the meat of two dried Balang fish and put it in. This is considered a good choice. The unique cooking method of their seaside people.

"When you go back later, remember to ask my mother to come over early to help kill the fish."

"Um."

Looking at the three large baskets of fish on the trolley, it’s no wonder that Ah Qing always said that he could kill all the fish that an average person would kill in a lifetime in one day.

His mother was really happy to be able to dry out so many dried fish. Everyone on the beach was happy with the fish, and people who came from that era basically had some hamster attributes.
