Chapter 545 Abandoning Longline Fishing

"Okay, it's as much as you say. Give me the order. I'm going home to eat and sleep."

It was a really tiring day today and the workload was too heavy, but the harvest was still considerable, much better than daily trawling.

I have to go to his brother Asheng's house later, and we can't afford to do this stupidly again tomorrow.

"Come back early tomorrow. It's too late and I can't arrange a car. If you don't send them away at night, these fish will be stale."

"Isn't it just in time? Send me off now, I'll be in time for the morning market."

"Isn't it troublesome to make temporary arrangements?" Ah Cai wrote the goods list and gave it to him, "I was sleeping soundly at night, when your mother banged on the door and woke me up, thinking there was something urgent."

"This is an urgent matter. Don't be active in making money. Why should you sleep? Why sleep for a long time during your lifetime? You will sleep forever after you die. Have you ever heard of it?"

Ye Yaodong took the order and walked out while talking.

When Ah Cai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched in silence, "I know quite a lot, and I always talk in one way."

Father Ye and Mother Ye were waiting for him, but they also heard black threads in their heads.

Mother Ye couldn't help but mutter a few words to him, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"You're talking nonsense, right? I know what I said is a wise saying, and you think it makes sense, right? Okay, let's go, go home and cook, I'm starving to death."

"You talk nonsense when you open your mouth." Ye's mother rolled her eyes at him and was about to push the cart when Father Ye pushed her aside.

"Let me do it."

"You come, you come." Mother Ye stood aside, looked at Ye Yaodong and asked, "How much did it sell for today?"

"More than 176 yuan, so careless."

"So much and still careless?"

"Mom, 50 nets. On average, I only earn more than three yuan and sixty cents per net. Is it because I caught otters and sold them for 60 yuan more?"

"Then you didn't sell these toad fish? Wouldn't it be a little more if you include them?"

"I haven't sold any of them. What are you talking about? It's good luck. I caught three otters. Otherwise, I can only sell them for about 150. A net is still three yuan. There are only a lot of nets. If I put two If there are thirty pieces, I can only cut half of them."

"It's not okay to come back so late that night. I just need to be tired. I have to pull people out of bed on a cold night."

Father Ye interrupted and said, "That's why we need to ask someone to help, otherwise it will be too late to collect the fish, it will be too slow."

"Want to invite someone?"

"Well, let's wait and ask Brother Asheng if he wants to stay with me for a few months?"

"It's so late, I guess everyone is asleep..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's already so late when we come back. It'll be too late to call him tomorrow. Maybe he went out to do other work early in the morning. Then we'll have to call someone else temporarily, which would be unreliable."

Mother Ye frowned, "Then I'll call you now, and you go back to eat first."

"That's okay." This will save him from going even later after eating.

Ye Mu trotted towards the village in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong feels that his mother is his own mother, and she is reliable at critical moments. Even if she is nagged or scolded a few times, she will not lose a piece of flesh.

After Ye's mother left, the father and son continued to walk home, and Ye's father was still mumbling, "I don't know if it will be enough to ask someone to help."

"We'll see tomorrow. If it's not enough, we'll get another one."

"Well, I originally wanted to say that there are too many and I'm too busy, so I'll take some back and keep them as supplements. If some fishing nets are broken and can't be used, I'll put in new ones."

Ye Yaodong has also thought about it, but if you give more and earn more, ask someone to take a look first. If you can do it, let it go. If you can't finish it, take some back and keep it as supplement.

"We'll have a look tomorrow and make adjustments based on the situation. If there's nothing in the longline fishing, just take it back instead of releasing it. Just release this sticky net. Today's harvest is quite good."

Father Ye responded, "You make your own decisions and decide on your own."

The old lady in the house had already reheated the food. When she saw them walking into the yard, she took out the food and put it on the table so that they could eat it after washing their hands.

When they were halfway through the meal, Ye Mu also came back, "I have already agreed with your brother Asheng. He was going to work outside the dock tomorrow. Fortunately, I went to explain to him at night, otherwise he would have been there at three or four in the morning." We have to leave before dawn.”

Ye Yaodong stuffed the last mouthful of food and nodded, "Have you told him how much the salary is? Is it calculated by day or month?"

"I won't say anything about this. Anyway, my family won't let him suffer. You can tell him tomorrow whether to calculate it by day or month. It's more cost-effective to calculate it by day. Who knows you can go there in a month? how many days?"

"Well, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Father Ye also said: "Anyway, how much money other people have is how much money we have."

Ye Yaodong thought it was okay to pay a few cents more, since it was his own family anyway.

Have a good night's sleep until dawn.

Early in the morning, Ye Yaosheng had already actively rushed to the door to wait. Ye Yaodong and the others were still having breakfast, so they quickly invited him to come in and eat together.

But he quickly refused.

Lin Xiuqing was taking an aluminum lunch box to pack them with the meals they would eat on the ship today. When she saw him, she quickly asked him, "Did you bring a lunch box?"

"Lunch box? No."

"Then you go home and get one, I don't have a lunch box here."

"oh."

Because they had been busy closing the nets yesterday, they had no time to cook anything. They only took time to cook noodles once from morning to night. By the time they got to the evening, their chests were pressed against their backs. After Lin Xiuqing found out last night, she didn’t have time to cook anything this morning. Instead of cooking porridge, cook dry rice to avoid the porridge disappearing after a few peeings.

Dry rice is more resistant to hunger, and you can cook a little more, put it in a lunch box, and bring it to the ship for them to eat.

If they get hungry while the net is being collected, they can just put it on the stove to heat it up, which saves them the trouble of cooking noodles. It saves trouble and some time.

She also cooked a large pot of radish bone soup. When she went to the village early in the morning, she happened to see a pork seller pushing a cart. The pig skull was cheap, only 5 cents a pound, so she bought half of it.

We eat radish in the winter and ginger in the summer. I boil a big pot and put it in a small bucket for them to carry on the boat. When it’s time to eat, just heat it up with the rice. No other vegetables are needed, just dried fish, and there is still space in the lunch box. Make room for more rice.

Ye Yaosheng saw it when he came back with the lunch box and said with a smile: "You guys have a good food, there are fish, meat and vegetables."

Lin Xiuqing also said with a smile: "I was afraid that I would be too busy on the boat to cook, so I prepared it in advance. When the time comes, the soup will be heated in the pot, and the rice will be stacked on top to heat it together. This way, I can have a hot bite even on a cold day. Yes, it also saves the use of a small pot to cook a pot of noodle soup, which is not enough."

"It's very thoughtful. It's good to have a wife at home."

"If you make more money, you can marry another one. It's not too late to marry a wife in your 30s."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father. Yesterday, when he was on the boat, he said that there was something wrong with anyone who was not married in their 30s. People in their 30s could become grandfathers. If they were not married, they would have to pay attention to death. What, now? It's not too late again.

Ye Yaosheng just laughed and said nothing.

After the rice and soup were loaded and everything was put on the trolley, Ye Yaosheng rushed to push the trolley.

The longline had been at sea for a day without being retrieved. As soon as he went out to sea, Ye Yaodong sailed directly to the position where the longline was released, preparing to collect the 1,000 rows of hooks first, and then collect the sticky net.

Save it in case you are too busy and if you delay it for another day, the fish on the hook will be stale.

After Ye Yaosheng found out, he couldn't help but said: "Your stall is really big. You can even make 50 sticky nets and 1,000 row hooks. It's just you and your father. It's weird that you can do this." .”

"Isn't it true that I haven't let go of such a large quantity? Do you want to give it a try? My rolling wheel cost a lot of money. Why don't I put in more nets to earn back the capital? It's 700 yuan."

"Haha, that's really too much money."

"Well, let's put more in while the weather is good." Ye Yaodong also told him about wages.

For Ye Yaosheng, a part-time worker, whether the calculation is calculated on a monthly or daily basis depends on how his employer calculates it, and it is not his turn to make the decision.

However, although Ye Yaodong is calculated on a daily basis, his salary is not low. It is calculated at three yuan a day, which is the same salary as fishing for jellyfish. In this way, he has no different meanings from others who work at sea. It’s only a little over two yuan a day.

"You let me take advantage again."

"My family talks about taking advantage and not taking advantage. Who should I invite? It's just a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so please feel more at ease."

"good."

It went quite smoothly today at sea. I didn’t encounter any accidents or people. After collecting the longline, I immediately followed up by collecting the sticky net.

It may have been two days, but the harvest from longline fishing was very good, and the fish was still very fresh.

Moreover, they also collected a more than ten kilograms of Filipina's Pomfret, which was about 50 centimeters long, which made them very happy. Besides this big Filipina's Pomfret, the others were one or two kilograms smaller. I also received hundreds of them.

Ye Yaodong thought that a group of Phoebe's pomfret happened to be passing by, so they were caught by longline fishing.

The pomfret is a fish that often hunts in coastal waters and likes to live in groups.

Apart from this, there are all kinds of other fish, which are common in daily life.

This made it hard for him to give up. Originally, he wanted to see if he had gained much today? If there is not much, just abandon longline fishing to save yourself too much time.

Father Ye also knew his original plan and was a little reluctant to part with it, "The harvest looks pretty good."

"It's okay, but I'm a little overwhelmed, and it's also troublesome. After I take it back, I have to ask someone to sort it out. When I put it down the next day, I have to hang the bait one by one. It's too troublesome and delays things. Let’s forget it for now.”

"Oh, that's what I thought too. I just saw that today's harvest was quite good. It would be a pity to give up."

"I can't do it. There are 50 sticky nets. I collected longlines for two hours today and I guess I have to work until dark again."

"Well, you go faster to collect the net, and we can collect the fish from behind faster."
