Chapter 642 Black-Backed Ray

"You save slowly, how long will it take to save? It doesn't cost much to buy a small wooden boat. I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back slowly after you earn it. I also believe in you, seeing that you are very hardworking, otherwise I won’t lend it to anyone else.” Except for a few young people, this was the first time he took the initiative to lend money to help.

Ye Yaosheng sighed,

"In the past few years, I spent a lot of money on medical treatment. In the past two years, I have slowly paid back the money, and I feel more at ease. I owe people money, which is stressful. I think about it. I can't eat, and I can't sleep at night." I can’t even sleep well. I just need to take my time, and my days are not hard now.”

"Well, forget it, you can figure it out yourself." Personal ideas are different. Maybe he is afraid of owing money, or he may think that his work is more stable and does not require capital.

Nor can he put a knife to someone's neck and beg them to accept his kindness. Ye Yaosheng smiled,

"If you are like A Guang and buy another boat and want to find someone to rent it, then I can do it."

"Let's talk about it later." The big ship hasn't been reached yet, so hold on tightly.

"His way of collecting rent seems pretty good. If you have money, you can be like him and make multiple incomes. But buying a shop is not as cost-effective as buying a boat. The shop is far away, and you bought two …”

"I've bought everything. It's okay. I'll buy a boat when I have money." Said so easily... Ye Yaosheng smiled awkwardly and said

"Haha, you still have the ability to buy it when you say it."

"I'm just a little lucky. You can do it too in the future. Life is not just what people live..." The two of them chatted while digging, and they felt a little closer.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Ye's father stopped the boat that the two of them looked up and realized they had arrived. Ye Yaodong threw the screwdriver into the bucket and patted his dirty hands.

"It's time to work again, close the net, close the net..."

"Move the boat to a corner first? Just leave it in the middle. It won't be easy to put things in later, and it won't be easy to carry the basket around."

"Then let's move to the far corner there together."

"Okay." The two of them worked together to move the boat to a corner. When Ye Yaodong passed by, he kicked the crumbs of shellfish that had fallen on the deck a few times casually, without thinking of sweeping them away with a broom. They were all gone anyway. Wearing rain boots, you don't have to worry about your feet being cut.

Ye Yaosheng turned around to get the broom and swept the dregs into the sea very seriously. Ye Yaodong leaned on the side of the ship and saw it when he was collecting the buoy. He just laughed a few times and said to his father who was laying the planks: "Brother Asheng is very diligent."

"You think that everyone is like you. If the broom falls over and you don't help it, you will be lucky. You have a good wife and everything is taken care of for you. You don't have to do anything."

"That's true. I also feel that my life is good. Your life is also good. You don't have to worry about getting old in the future. The good days are still to come."

"Okay, I'm counting on you."

"It's easy to say, don't always dislike me, I will fish for you..." Father Ye glanced at him and shook his head.

"Hurry up and close the Internet cafe. There are so many words. The sky is turning red. The sun is about to rise. If you don't move faster, I will be busy until dark today."

"Isn't this being collected?" Ye Yaodong still spoke casually, but the speed of his hands was not slow. As he worked seriously, each net was turned up.

Father Ye and Ye Yaosheng were behind, one was picking up fish, and the other was pulling the fishing net and hanging it on the wooden board, waiting for all the fishing nets on the rolling wheel to rotate up, so that they could also collect the fish.

"There are quite a lot of rays today, but they are all small, no more than two pounds." Father Ye collected another one and threw it into the basket. The space at his feet was almost full, filled with rays.

"It's a bit small, but that's okay. This one is a little more expensive than the toad fish. If we sell it fresh, you can save on killing it and dry it, and you can still make more money selling it."

"Bigger is better. It would be more exciting if there were a few more big manta rays."

"Dad, you're so thoughtful. Why didn't you tell me to bring a whole net of stingrays?"

"Okay, that's better!" Ye Yaodong felt that under his influence, his father seemed to be less rigid?

"Then let me collect it for you?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it..." It happened that the net of fish in his hand was almost full. Father Ye took the torn rag hanging next to him and wiped his hands casually a few times.

"I'll sort out the fishing nets for you. I'll collect them. Make them neat and don't mess them up." Ye Yaodong abdicated and gave way to others.

"I'll wait for you to catch a net of stingrays."

"The requirements are so high..."

"You said it yourself..." Father Ye muttered twice more, but the wind was too loud and he couldn't hear what was said clearly.

There were a pile of baskets at his feet, the ones containing toads and fish and the ones containing rays were almost full. Ye Yaodong first asked Ye Yaosheng and the two of them worked together to lift the baskets to the side of the cabin first, so as not to get in the way.

Then he took over his father's work, tidied up the fishing net just now, knotted it and put it in the corner. Then he went to the side to open the unfinished fishing net and took down the fish one by one.

When he closed the net before, he had already taken a look at it and knew what kind of fish there was. There was no surprise at all when he opened the blind box.

He distracted his attention and looked up from time to time to see what his father had collected in the net. He hadn't heard any surprises from his father, so he thought to himself that he probably didn't have any good stuff.

Father Ye was very calm as he collected one piece after another. Ye Yaodong didn't laugh at him. There were manta rays in a net, and manta rays didn't originally move in groups.

Just as they were carefully closing the net, Father Ye suddenly took two steps back.

"Ah, bastard fish!" The wind was so loud that they didn't even hear what Father Ye said? Ye Yaodong had been paying attention to his father's closing the net. As soon as he saw him take two steps back, he immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong, Dad?" Okay, why did you step back?

Father Ye then turned around and shouted to them loudly: "I saw a stone fish. I caught a stone fish in the sticky net." Huh?

Stone fish? Very poisonous! No wonder his father immediately took two steps back when he saw it.

"Let me take a look." He took the fishing net that his father had been holding in his hand and scanned it for a while. At one glance, he saw the ugly fish that was motionless and stuck to the net.

This stone fish is not amazing in appearance, only about 30 centimeters in length, and looks like a stone. It likes to hide on the seabed or under rocks, disguising itself as an inconspicuous stone.

If someone steps on it accidentally, it will immediately fight back without mercy, emitting deadly poison outwards. The 12 to 14 needle-like sharp back spines on its crest will penetrate easily. The soles of the shoes pierce the soles of the feet, quickly poisoning the person and leaving him in severe pain until death.

He had encountered stonefish before when he was diving for abalone in the sea. When he found it, he was lucky to see it move just in time. Otherwise, if he stepped on it, he might have burped directly. If he wasn't poisoned on the spot, he would have drowned in the sea water.

Unexpectedly, there was a stone fish stuck to the sticky net today, which was destined to become his nutritious meal.

He smashed his mouth, and the fish stew was very filling. At that time, it was also because it was difficult to catch the fish in the water, and he didn't have any tools on hand. He was also afraid of being stabbed, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke him, so he just fished it from a distance. Averted.

Now that he has thrown himself into a trap, of course he accepted it politely. Father Ye saw him holding the fishing net. After the rolling wheel was completed, he dragged the fishing net to the table and followed him with concern.

"Be careful when untying the fishing net. Don't get stung. This fish is very poisonous. Someone in the brigade was poisoned before. Fortunately, he was sent to the Barefoot Doctor and rescued."

"I know." He had eaten this kind of fish before. In his previous life, it was quite valuable. One to two hundred per pound, some varieties four to five hundred. He had eaten it once with the boss of the boat, but no one dared to eat it now.

A lot of fish that no one eats now will have frightening price increases in the future. Thanks to the Chinese people who have iron stomachs, they are also gluttons and can eat anything. As long as they are delicious, they can be farmed and raised for consumption!

"You go ahead and collect your net, and I'll catch the fish."

"Be careful, you don't know if he is dead or not. Take a knife and hit him a few times to kill him first. After he is killed, you can catch him and throw him into the sea." Father Ye couldn't help but said a few more words, looking at his honesty. I felt relieved when I went to get the knife.

Little did they know, Ye Yaodong planned to kill him and take him back to make soup. Fortunately, he turned around and continued to close the net without looking carefully, otherwise I would have been nagging him for a long time to throw it away.

Ye Yaosheng didn't think much about it when he saw it, thinking that he planned to wait for a while to free up his hand and then throw it away when it was empty.

Later, when Father Ye caught another big fish, no one paid attention to the stone fish. Their attention was diverted to that behemoth!

"Ah, so big! Dongzi...Dongzi..."

"What's so big?" Before Ye Yaodong had finished collecting the fish in the net, he heard his father's excited exclamation again, and he quickly dropped the net and ran over.

Before he could lie down on the edge of the boat and look down, he saw a large piece of white body as the wheel slowly turned up, and then revealed a large piece of gray speckled back.

Father Ye pulled him excitedly and said, "Fish, devil fish, there really is a huge devil!"

"Ah! So big!"

"Yeah, it's bigger than the toilet lid at home!" Ye Yaodong: "..." What kind of metaphor is this? Could it be that because I saw shipworms before, my mind connected directly to the toilet?

However, Ye Yaosheng also ran up to him with his eyes wide open and said, "It's really bigger than the lid of the toilet at home! It weighs hundreds of kilograms, right?" Ye's father greeted them happily,

"Hurry up and help lift it. This fish is too heavy. Once the rest of the fishing net is collected, we will lift it on the table." They quickly stood on either side of the fishing net and each held one side.

"I have never seen such a big manta ray in my life. This fish is so big. It probably weighs hundreds of kilograms..."

"Wrong, this one is a black-backed ray, not a manta ray, and the pattern on its back is different."

"Haha, Dongzi knows quite a lot, but it's so thin. Anyway, they're all the same, don't they all look the same? Just like a big fan." Father Ye also agreed,

"It's true, aren't they all manta rays? They look the same no matter how you call them? They all have a smiling face." Hmm... you said they are almost the same, so that's it... anyway, they are indeed similar... the one under the abdomen The shape formed by the nostrils and the snout is like a pair of eyes with drooped corners. It is indeed very similar to their human smiling faces. It looks a bit cute, but the body is too big!

"Hurry up and lift it to the table together..."
