Chapter 739 Two Groupers Fight

Along the way, while he was sometimes happy and sometimes frowning, the fishing boat slowly slowed down and approached Baisha Village.

The tide was at full tide at this time. When he came back before, the tide had just reached full.

Fishing boats can only dock when the tide is high, and his boat can be as close to the beach as possible. If the tide goes out tomorrow, it will be stranded for a longer time.

Ye Yaodong drove the boat to the beach and stopped and anchored until he could go no further.

He didn't rush and went off directly. After the boat stopped, he checked back and forth on the boat. Only when there was nothing wrong did he move the bicycle off.

In order not to get wet, Ah Qing was asked to wash two less clothes, and he even sat on his bicycle when he got off the boat.

However, riding a bicycle on the beach was a bit strenuous, and with the water and waves hitting behind from time to time, his hopes were suddenly dashed, but he didn't get down either.

It wasn't until he reached an area without water that he climbed down and pushed towards the door of his home, checking his watch by the way.

It's 8:30...

Making money is so hard!

He wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.

In the yard, the women were still killing fish and picking shrimps.

Mother Ye saw that he was back and called him quickly, "What are you going to do with those two sharks?"

"What else can we do? Cut off the fins and make the shark fins yourself. You can take care of the rest of the shark meat. You can either share it with a few aunts and take it back to cook pickles or make dumplings."

Forget it if you eat it deep-fried, you will definitely be criticized if you say it, but you can save part of it for frying and part of it for making shark dumplings at home.

However, now that the weather is getting hot, you can't make too many dumplings without a refrigerator. Otherwise, for such a big shark, you can make a lot of dumplings and put them there to eat slowly.

The dumplings stuffed with shark are no different from the dumplings stuffed with pork. They are also chopped and added with green onion and cooking wine seasoning, which gives it a different flavor.

"You do know how to eat. Are you tired of eating fried dumplings? Now you want to eat shark dumplings again." Ye Mu likes to argue as always, and there are few times when she speaks softly.

"Just buy some flour and roll out the dumpling wrappers. It doesn't cost much. It's cheaper to bring the shark back than to chop the pork filling directly."

"It's just one mouthful, how much can it cost? See what you said, mother, I still have 50 years of good life in the second half of my life, so I can't eat anything good. I can't bear to even take a bite. It's so bitter. Those days are still... What’s there to look forward to?”

Actually, I’m not sure if I only have 20 years to live...

You can’t eat whatever you want, otherwise you’ll be gone but the money will still be there, and you won’t know who spent your money.

The aunt smiled and interjected: "These shark dumplings are indeed delicious, but they are more laborious and you have to roll out the dough. But now that life is getting better, I have to eat good ones occasionally."

"That's the truth. When you go back later, you can take more with you. Anyway, it's all your own food and you won't be able to finish it all." Lin Xiuqing also shook the basket at her hand and said with a smile, "Why don't you pick out these?" We can take some fresh shrimp back to feed the chickens and ducks later. We can’t finish these two big baskets..."

"Hey, okay..."

Watching Ye Yaodong lift his legs into the house and take off his clothes while walking, Lin Xiuqing also stood up and followed him.

"Are you going to take a shower? I'll get you some clothes."

"good."

After working so hard until now, he was actually quite tired. He was sitting there shirtless and didn't want to move. He wanted to sit down for a while and then fetch water.

Lin Xiuqing prepared all the clothes and pants for him. Seeing him still sitting there, she didn't say anything and continued to pour hot water for him.

She knew that he was tired after working all day.

"Are you tired? You don't have to rush like this. You can wait until you come back tomorrow. Then you can turn to the town and take a boat back with dad."

"We were delayed by something today. Otherwise, we would have come back when the sun went down. If we come back tomorrow, the tide will be almost low and the tide has not yet risen. The boat will not be able to enter the beach by then."

The tide ebbs about 45 minutes later than the previous day every day, and the high tide will not start until about seven o'clock tomorrow.

The neap tide has just passed, and the tide has been getting lower and lower recently. We have to drive back during the high tide to get aground.

"Oh." She was holding hot water and scooping cold water to neutralize it. "What delayed you today? You came back so late. Others got home just after sunset."

"When we were preparing to come back, we encountered a school of Balang fish, so we stopped and cast a few more nets. The two sharks happened to fall into the school of fish and were caught in our net."

"No wonder the shark's body is full of bumps. My mother said before that it must have been bitten by a Balang fish."

Lin Xiuqing brought the water to him as she said, "Wash, finish washing early, go to bed early, we have to go to sea at night."

"Um."

"Then your boat will come back at night. I don't have time to do it myself tomorrow. Should we invite someone?"

She was not in the room and didn't hear what he said to his father.

Ye Yaodong twisted a handful of towels, washed his face first and said, "I was planning to drive back and ask someone to shovel the barnacles under the boat tomorrow so that I could bask in the sun and paint. Do it in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it will be late. There will be no space when the flood season comes in a few days.”

"I'm also thinking about the new ship and the new atmosphere. There are thick barnacle spats on the bottom, which consumes a lot of fuel."

“Furthermore, we only applied one layer of paint in a hurry a few days ago. After soaking for a few days, the paint around the waterline was a little smudged. I wanted to touch it up early to avoid the color from fading even more and damaging the previous paint. All the marks are exposed.”

He lowered his voice to say the last sentence.

However, the group of women at the door were chattering like thousands of ducks, and it was impossible to hear what was being said in the room.

"But I just had a few chats with my father during dinner. He doesn't feel comfortable asking someone else to do it. He plans to do it himself. I'm thinking about taking a day off the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing also agreed, "It's better to handle this boat by ourselves. We can rest assured if the paint is properly painted. Otherwise, when the flood season comes, we will have to drive outside for so many days. Don't let the paint peel off badly." , the secret was revealed.”

"That's what I said."

"Then if the folks see you and ask about it tomorrow morning, I will tell you that when you and dad docked in the evening, you went to bring the boat back. It was just not a good day, so you didn't say hello to your relatives and friends."

"Um."

"It's reassuring to have it right under your nose."

"I have a day off the day after tomorrow. First, bring the boat up, shovel the bottom of the boat, and let it dry. Then I will come back and take the time to paint a coat of paint every night, and dry it in the sun during the day. I will paint two more coats."

"Just come up with your own ideas."

Ye Yaodong has already thought about everything.

You can't do it for others, you can only do it yourself. There is no other way but to squeeze in the time and rush. It just so happens that the weather is very good these days, so he and his father can just work hard for two or three days.

Anyway, I can rest the day after tomorrow, which is not bad at all.

At night, the father and son went out to sea to fish as usual.

After arriving near the oarfish island, they scooped up a ladle of water and found that there was still no sparkle in the sea water. They immediately lowered the net and planned to leave the shrimp pot until they were ready to return in the afternoon.

Who knows if it might get stuck again?

It was now so dark in the middle of the night that it was impossible for him to get into the water even if he was hanging up.

It would be more efficient to collect it now than to wait until daybreak before launching the boat on the return trip.

The father and son were busy, collecting one net after another. When the father and son were preparing to lower the third net, they actually saw three more boats coming from the border defense brigade.

However, they were careful not to get close. They stayed far away from the island and worked in the middle of the sea. The three fish boats did not approach their direction and continued to go straight to the island.

Everyone stayed on the same page, and the whole day was very harmonious.

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Ye Yaodong discovered that three fishing boats had left work earlier than yesterday.

When they left as soon as get off work, it would be easier for him. After putting away the last piece of homework, he drove directly towards the reef without any worries, complaining to his father on the way.

"I guess I didn't get much, so I called it a day and left early today."

"It's possible, maybe they won't come tomorrow. We've been searching for several days. With so many people, they can't even search the mountain."

"Who knows? We won't come tomorrow either. We have a day off."

"It's better to leave early. Go into the water and take a look to see if there are any. If so, catch a few more. Just leave the shrimp pots on the sea to me."

"Um."

After the father and son discussed it, they divided the work and cooperated once they arrived at the place.

After they collected the shrimp pot yesterday, they still put it down in the same place. Maybe when they went down to the bottom of the sea, it shifted a little due to the sea water.

Also, the buoy may have drifted a bit as the waves washed over it overnight.

After Ye Yaodong went into the water, he searched for several minutes but couldn't find the location of yesterday's reef gap.

The reefs on the seabed all look the same, standing there in patches. Yesterday, because of the dark light, I couldn’t really see the bottom clearly. I really couldn’t tell where they were?

Now he was extremely depressed, and he took it for granted, thinking that he could still find it if he came down to where he was.

But it was still early, so he patiently searched around the reef. However, although he did not find soft silk, he was lucky and caught two small green dragons.

Just as he was about to change his position, swim forward, and look for it again, he saw many small fish surrounded by seagrass in front of him on the left.

Moreover, the seaweed surrounding the small fish also trembled violently. It was not at all like the seaweed swaying with the waves next to it, which looked fishy.

Curious, he changed direction and swam from the seaweed in front of him on the left.

At this moment, the sun is still setting, the sky is still bright, and the sun is shining brightly today. The underwater world can still be seen quite clearly, unlike yesterday when we came down late and it was foggy.

However, before he even got close, he noticed the clues.

A grouper with round spots flashed out of the grass. Within a second, another grouper appeared in the grass with its tail wagging and its mouth wide open to attack the opponent!

Two groupers!

Oh my gosh, two groupers are fighting over territory!

There are a group of younger brothers surrounding him!
