She felt that it was easier to talk to her two sons, and her daughter-in-law must have Xiao Jiujiu, so she should let her speak directly.

"Let's wait until they come back in the evening. Isn't it, there's still a week until the ship comes back?"

"Um."

Mother Ye left satisfied without seeing them talking about anything.

Ye Yaodong sat in the yard and watched the two little girls playing. He also tidied up the things he was going to take out to sea at night. He also heard the noise next door and didn't take it seriously.

I heard that after his eldest and second brothers came back in the evening, they went to his hometown to find his father as soon as possible. He said that he had agreed to return the old boat to his father after the boat was received in a few days.

Both brothers are actually very filial.

After dinner, while it was still dark, he rode his bicycle to the shipyard to sail the ship without being at home.

Fortunately, this time the shipyard kept true to its word. Once it was over, the ship could drive away immediately after paying the repair fee, without wasting his time any longer.

On the way back, he passed through the town and refueled with oil and ice before docking at the village.

At night, we went to sea again with the Harvest.

After replacing it with more horsepower, he obviously felt that the speed was a little faster. When running with the Harvest, he was obviously a little faster than it.

Even Father Pei was a little jealous and said that when he goes back next time, he will also swap the engines of the two boats.

They drove for several hours, and when it got bright, the two boats launched their net operations one after another.

The sky was blue, the sea was blue, and the red sun emerged from the thick clouds after they dragged the net. I originally thought there would be no sunrise today, and it was cloudy, but it turned out that I could still see it.

Seagulls were flying on the sea, always following the stern of the boat, swooping down from time to time to pick up fish and shrimp that had been tossed out of the water by the waves.

"It's going to be June soon. It's so fast. It feels like half a year has passed. It obviously feels like the New Year is just over." Ye Yaodong stood on the helm and looked into the distance, and from time to time he looked at the people picking goods on the deck.

.

Father Ye also came out, "Who thinks like you? It's only the end of March in the lunar calendar now, only 1/4 has passed, and half a year has passed."

"It's the end of May. According to the new calendar, isn't that very soon?"

"Just do whatever you like."

They fished calmly on the sea for two days, and on the third day they called a fresh harvest ship to sell the goods, and then continued working at sea.

This trip was uneventful. Everyone repeatedly closed and lowered the nets, and the harvest was average. No large fish were encountered, and no schools of fish were encountered.

However, a disaster-free operation is already a lucky thing for them.

But it was too early to say this. When they calculated the time to return, they encountered a small group of saury fish.

Its body is long and narrow, its sides are as flat as a knife, and its silver-white scales shine in the sun, like a sharp blade unsheathed.

The boatmen's reactions were sparse and ordinary, but Ye Yaodong's face was full of surprise, but when he came to his senses, he also had a look of regret.

It’s another kind of fish that would have been extremely expensive in the future but would be a commodity now. It’s a pity.

He couldn't help but sigh, if there was a portal that allowed him to transport the current seafood to the modern age, or a system to recycle it, it was written like this in the novels he occasionally heard in his previous life.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

"Such a good fish, and we caught so many..."

"It's several hundred kilograms bigger... A kilogram weighs several thousand, that's tens of thousands of times? Grass..."

He squatted there and muttered something, then cursed a few times.

The meat of swordfish is tender and delicious, especially the swordfish in spring, which is known as the "first fresh food in spring". However, the price gap between before and after Qingming Festival is quite big, it can be half the difference.

Chen Shi looked at his reaction a little strangely. He squatted next to him and asked doubtfully: "Brother Dongdong..."

"Hey, let's pick it up alone. I'm going back anyway. I'll leave two kilograms behind to eat. Do you want it?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"These fish bones are not very tasty. When the thick-fleshed fish is shipped back later, each of us can just pick up a few."

"It's a pity that this fish can't be sold at a high price now."

"It would be great if someone wants this fish. It has more spines and less meat. But during the Qingming Festival, the price could be a little higher, and you can get 20 cents. If you buy it now, it will only cost 10 cents at most."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

If he tells the future worth of this fish, he will shock them and make them think he is crazy.

There are three types of saury in my country. The one that migrates back to the Yangtze River from the sea is the "Jiang Dao". It has the most delicious taste and the bones are soft and crisp. I heard that the freshness of the saury at this time is hard to describe in words!

I don’t know if he’s just bragging, but he’s never eaten it, and he’s only heard the boasts.

But before the Qingming Festival, Yangtze saury often sells for thousands or even tens of thousands per catty!

What is caught in the offshore is "sea knife-slender body, like a lancet, silver-white fish body, slightly yellowish spine and fins, bright and complete scales, very attractive appearance", which can also be sold for thousands of yuan a piece.

catty.

The ones that migrate to Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are "Lake Knives".

There is also a kind of knife called "river knife", which appears in the river. I heard that it only costs a dozen yuan. There are subtle differences in the physical characteristics of the two. Generally, it is not easy for experienced fishermen to distinguish the difference between them.

Although the tenderness of the meat of different types of saury is slightly different, the taste of steamed saury is still delicious, but it has too many spines. People who like to eat it will like it very much, but people who don't like to eat it will also dislike it.

Nowadays, eating swordfish probably represents more of a kind of vanity, and those who have eaten it can brag about it.

"Let's pick and choose. There should be about seven or eight hundred pounds here..."

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

Just as he was squatting there regretfully picking up the fish on the deck, he heard his father calling him from above on the helm.

"What?" he said as he walked up.

"My relatives said that his propeller seemed to have hit several sharks, and the area around his fishing boat was red. However, his propeller seemed to be a little broken at this time, and he couldn't move fast. Let's go over quickly and help him tow the boat away, otherwise it would cause trouble."

A group of sharks will cause trouble."

"Ah, is this still the case?"

He looked into the distance and saw that the Harvest was indeed moving extremely slowly on the sea, and it was really encountering a situation.

"Hurry up and ask everyone to prepare ropes and other things. I have already changed the direction and moved over."

"knew."

Ye Yaodong hurried down and asked everyone to stop sorting and prepare tools such as ropes first so that when they get close, they can tie the boat to the back as soon as possible and drag them together to leave the place first.

When two boats travel together for work, they do have a companion. They go in and out together, and they can help each other when encountering situations without waiting for rescue.

Otherwise, the waiting time will probably take most of the day, and you don't know how many things will be delayed. Or if you encounter danger, if you wait a few hours before arriving, it will be too late.

The two ships gradually shortened the distance between them. By the time the Dongsheng was approaching, the color of blood was no longer visible on the sea, having been diluted by the sea water.

But there were several tumbling three- to four-meter sharks swimming around the fishing boat. They were probably going crazy because of the pain, and they were hitting the fishing boat. Even standing on the deck, he could still see the skin and flesh on the backs of the sharks were torn, and the blood had just seeped out a little.

It's so diluted that it hurts just looking at it.

The fishing boat was swaying constantly after being hit. At the same time, he also saw sharks speeding over not far away, and their pointed dorsal fins were particularly conspicuous on the sea surface.

"What the hell, hurry up... hurry up and get closer, a group of sharks are attracted by the smell of blood."

If the fishing boat was in good condition, it would have left the place earlier and it would not be surrounded by a group of sharks. Now we can only seize the time and run away quickly.

Being besieged by such a large group of sharks is a disaster when you think about it.

Normally, the well water does not interfere with the river water, but now that the smell of blood is there and it has been surrounding the fishing boat for a long time, more and more big fish will definitely be attracted.

As the two boats approached, the Dongsheng was also attacked by sharks. The boatmen of the two boats looked nervously and eagerly at the sea while hurriedly tying the fish boats together.

A group of sharks rushing from a distance also quickly came closer. They opened their huge mouths, and the teeth on them were sharp and sinister. If they were bitten, they would definitely tear off a large piece of meat.

At the same time, the fishing boat also received a more violent impact than before. It was shaking so hard that the boatmen who tied the ropes could hardly stand. They could only shout and ask everyone to speed up.

There were only a dozen sharks in this wave, but Ye Yaodong saw another shark rushing towards him in the distance. He cursed, "I'm going back, and there are so many sharks in this situation, hurry up, hurry up..."

"

"Right away, right away..."

The boatmen were sweating anxiously as they looked at sharks coming from all directions.

"Okay, okay..."

"The boat can be sailed..."

Hearing the shouts of the boatmen, he hurried towards the helm building, but needless to say, Father Ye had already driven the boat with full power and ran away.

However, the speed of driving two against one was definitely not that fast, not to mention that their speed could not keep up with the speed of the sharks, and soon the sharks behind them caught up with them.

A large wave of sharks all swam around the fishing boat and bumped into it from time to time. The sharks whose backs were slashed by the propeller also followed the Harvest. They were probably very vindictive and did not hide to heal their injuries.

However, the smell of blood on its back also attracted attacks from many similar species. While chasing the fishing boat, the sharks also bitten their companions without mercy.

The smell of blood on the sea surface continued to spread, and the bodies of the beaten sharks were stained with blood from being torn apart by their own kind. The strong smell of blood began to float around the two fishing boats one behind the other.

The blood dyed the sea surface red, but what was washed away began to dilute again. However, there were more sharks attacking, and the smell of blood spread more and faster. We could only rely on the fishing boats to slowly leave them behind as they moved forward, allowing the waves to dilute faster.
