Chapter 736 There Is Something in the Gap

But when he came up, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of densely packed crevices in the rocks, which seemed to be hiding some kind of creature.

His legs and feet were already pushing up, but he immediately stopped, spun around in the water, and then fell back down. He wanted to confirm what it was?

The bottom of the sea was gray, and as the sky gradually darkened, the light became worse and worse. He had just taken out the shrimp pots from the stuck reef, and only saw that the reef was smooth and not as full as last year. The sight of abalone.

I regretted it and stopped paying attention.

At this moment, he returned after somersaulting and stopped in front of the gap between two reefs. He looked inside curiously, but he was pleasantly surprised.

"Ah!" He exclaimed inwardly.

Soft silk! Big tail squid!

There are a bunch of big-tailed squid in the crevices of the reef.

The big-tailed squid is called the "king of squids" and tastes very delicious. The largest individual big-tailed squid can grow to 3-4 kilograms. They are also called soft silk orally.

It likes the seafloor with rocks, inward bends, and places with seagrass.

The eyes are also the largest among all lock tube families, so they are relatively photophobic. They live in waters 50 meters deep during the day, and only swim to shallow seas a few meters above the water on moonless nights.

Due to the movement of the earth's crust, the reef was pushed up here, so this area is only ten meters deep. These soft silks are afraid of the light, so they hide in the crevices of the reef.

Ye Yaodong really wanted to catch them all, but they hid in the crevices of the reef and were difficult to reach. The surface of the reef was rugged. If you put your hand in, you would be scratched without paying attention.

And he was running out of time, it was going to be too late.

But he was not willing to let him just watch and then leave like this. He touched the small hand net behind him and put it on his waist.

I originally brought it with me just in case I encountered a lobster, so I could use it to net a lobster. Unfortunately, I just walked all the way and didn't see it, not even the sea cucumbers. I don't know if the light was too bad, so I was caught by him. Ignore the past.

At this moment, this little hand copy net could come in handy, but he had to hurry up.

He slowly stretched his hand net into the gap in the reef. The soft silk threads that were originally motionless were suddenly startled and began to swim.

With such a short time, it was impossible to catch them all. He could only try his best to see if he could catch a few more?

Looking at the relatively concentrated small group, he put the hand net up, then bumped into them from left to right, and slowly moved out against the reef wall.

Then he stretched out his hand at the opening in advance, waiting for the hand net to move out, and immediately closed the opening to prevent the soft silk from escaping.

Even though the soft thread in the gap was disturbed, it did not jump out immediately. Instead, it swam a few times and then jumped further in.

Ye Yaodong just glanced at it, and then he took out the soft silk in the hand-made net one by one from the opening, and then grabbed it into the net pocket on his waist.

There were only four of them, because each of them was so big that when he just grabbed it in his hand, he could feel that each one weighed two pounds.

Then, he reached in again.

It was too late, and he felt that his breathing was not smooth. He netted randomly, and then stretched out again. This time there were only two. After catching them, he immediately surfaced to the surface.

After popping his head out, he breathed a sigh of relief?

Father Ye waited anxiously above, looking at the sea surface and the island for a while, for fear that the fishing boats over there would suddenly come over.

He didn't dare to pull the rope casually. He was afraid that the rope was still tied around Dongzi's waist and that it would pull him and affect his activities on the seabed. He could only sit anxiously.

It wasn't until he surfaced that he felt free to pull the rope and slowly pull up the big blue shark tied up with the rope from the bottom of the sea.

This big blue shark is more than two meters long and probably weighs more than a hundred pounds. It is quite easy to pull it in the water.

But when he was about to be pulled out of the water, he struggled so hard that Father Ye couldn't do anything on his own.

After Ye Yaodong surfaced on the water, he quickly climbed onto the boat. After taking a few breaths, he helped to pull it up. The two of them spent a lot of effort and time before slowly pulling the shark up.

Just after falling for a while, the shark was crawling with various sea worms that specialize in eating corpses, and two starfish were also attached to it, and it fell when it was pulled up.

Both father and son wiped the sweat from their foreheads and panted.

"It's a lot of trouble... don't talk nonsense next time... a dog's mouth is so clever..."

"Same for you!" Ye Yaodong retorted.

"Why did you go down for so long? It made me nervous to death. Please teach me next time and go back down instead."

"Forget it, you're already old, so just stay up there and look out. This young guy can just go down."

As Ye Yaodong spoke, he untied the net bag on his waist. He just took a few breaths and helped his father pull the shark together. The soft silk inside had not yet been released.

Only now did Father Ye notice that there were a few soft silk threads in the net pocket on his waist, and he was suddenly surprised.

"Is there still this underneath?"

"I was about to come up, but I saw a large group of them hiding in the crevices of the reef. I had to turn back and spent two minutes catching a few of them. They almost choked me to death."

"You can come up first. Why are you in such a hurry? What if something happens to someone? You can go back down anyway."

"Who's going down with you again? It's getting dark, so I thought it would only take a minute or two. It should be fine, and it's actually fine. I packed six of them, weighing more than ten kilograms. One of them is quite big. They weigh two or three pounds, I don’t know if they will still be there tomorrow.”

Ye Yaodong took out the largest piece of soft silk and showed it to his father.

It was big and thick. Father Ye also felt that this one weighed at least two and a half pounds, and he estimated that it was almost three pounds.

Although it is big, it is not old at all. The meat is even tender and delicious when eaten fresh. It is countless times more delicious than the sizzling squid on the night market.

"This is valuable and big. The total weight of these two is fifteen or six pounds. If you buy it for sixty-seven cents, it will cost you just over ten yuan."

Ye Yaodong poured all the soft silk in the net bag into a bucket, "Work underwater for two minutes and earn ten yuan."

"When you come out tomorrow, go into the water and see if it's still there. If it's there, you can catch more. It's too late today, it's dark, and you can't see it."

"Yeah." Ye Yaodong wanted to take a look at the island in the distance. The ship hadn't left yet. It was probably hard to find a watch. It would be a waste of time. It would be better to replenish it with any of the seized contraband.

I hope they won't come again tomorrow, otherwise, he won't dare to go into the water blatantly and will have to be on tenterhooks.

"I'm going to sail the boat. You clean up the fish on the deck." After saying this, Father Ye went to sail the boat first.

"Wait a minute, there is another shrimp pot that was confiscated. When we just found this big shark, we also found the stuck shrimp pot. After releasing the shrimp pot, we found that there was soft silk in the cracks of the reef. First. Put the shrimp pots up first, it won’t take more than a few minutes.”

If you collect it now, you can put it down again. If you collect it again tomorrow, you can collect a few more kilograms.

"Oh, then drive the boat a little further." He almost forgot that there was a shrimp pot.

After the sun went down, the sky got dark very quickly. As long as they were delayed talking, it was already dark.

After they collected the row of shrimp pots, it was completely dark, and Ye Yaodong quickly sailed back.

There are still so many fish and shrimps on the boat that have not yet been sorted. I am still busy when I get back. There are more than two baskets of shrimps collected in the shrimp pot alone, and there are also Balang fish scattered everywhere on the deck.

Only the goods trawled during the day were sorted during the operation.

Ye Yaodong thought that when he docked later, he would sell the trawled goods first, and put the rest in baskets and transport them home. Balang fish was not for sale anyway, so he had to take it back and kill it for drying.

As for the two baskets of large shrimps, it wasn't that fast to pick them up. The proportion of fresh shrimps was still relatively small, so there was no need to delay Ah Cai's company there.

You can take it back and slowly pick it yourself. There is no need to sell it after you pick it out. You can just dry the shrimp.

With this thought in mind, he did the same thing after landing.

Ah Cai looked a little regretful. The baskets of Balang fish weighed one or two thousand kilograms, and were worth dozens of yuan.

Those shrimps that were said to be stale were also a pity. It was all money, but they ended up smelling before they could be harvested.

"Have you encountered a school of Balang fish?"

"Yes, I happened to see it when I came back, so I cast a few nets."

"It just so happens that you can dry fish again. The business of your store in the city seems to be pretty good? Do you have a lot of inventory? I saw you collected so much before, and your friend keeps buying goods from the city and comes back to dry them. , it should be able to be sold until the end of the year, right?”

hehe! He wouldn't tell him that he was almost out of stock and almost out of business.

Ye Yaodong laughed and said: "It's hard to say, just so-so. I'll see when the time comes. But I heard from my father-in-law that a lot of shops in the city have opened recently, and the entrance to the market seems to be getting more and more lively. I guess there should be more people around the second entrance. Slowly, some people will rent it.”

"I've also heard that renting is the best. I keep the savings in my hands, and I don't have time to run it in the city."

Otherwise, his dried fish sales are so good, and the whole village is spreading rumors that he has made a lot of money and is about to buy a second boat. How can other people not have any ideas?

They just can't find the right people to go to the market to look at the shops, and they're also worried that the new market has just moved and the surrounding area hasn't become lively yet, so there will be no business at their second entrance, and they're also worried that the investment cost will be too high.

"By the way, I heard that you bought a second boat. When will you bring it back? Are you planning to rent it out like A Guang?"

"I'm not renting it yet. I'm going to take a boat with my father to get through the coming squid season first."

Ah Cai gave him a thumbs up, "You can do it. I saw you getting rich step by step, and you also came across this opportunity."

Ye Yaodong was a little proud. If he waited a few days and drove a boat back from the border defense station, wouldn't he scare them to death?

He could already imagine how excited the villagers would be when his three boats were lined up at the dock.

Not to mention the only one in the town, he is the only one in the ten miles and eight towns who can own so many boats.

His mother was quite smart, so she told her to only spread the news about him buying a boat, and leave the other border guard station alone for now. Sure enough, now the only news in the village about him buying a boat was.

At critical times, it's pretty reliable.

"Hehe, God of Wealth bless you, Mazu bless you. When Mazu moves into Thean Hou Palace, I will also add a few more sticks of incense."
