When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. When someone comes to inquire, others will join in.

One after another, a large number of fishing boats came and left in turn, and their area seemed particularly lively.

Ye Yaodong and the others' mouths were dry as they explained.

After the fishing boats knew the reason why they did not release any more longlines, they all moved to the side with some regret, but no boat was willing to leave.

Aguang and Pei's father also returned to their own ship during the period. They couldn't do anything. Now they can only go back to their own ship and wait.

Now that they were asked to trawl, they might as well just wait here and see what happened. After all, all the ships were waiting here, and they couldn't lag behind others.

Dozens of fishing boats are all spending time in this area. It is surprising and unbelievable to say that, but the fact is that so many boats really spend a whole day here. From morning to dusk, there is not a single boat.

leave.

Although the divided jellyfish must be sent to the shore as soon as possible, the quantity is too small, just a few dozen or a few hundred kilograms, and the money sold may not be enough to pay for the fuel for a round trip, so no one leaves.

If you have the ingredients, just cut them up, marinate them and put them there, and then sell them for money when you get back. If you don't bring alum and salt to marinate them, there's nothing you can do about them turning into water.

And all the fishing boats also caught some jellyfish today, some weighing six to seven hundred kilograms, and some weighing dozens of kilograms.

After all, a jellyfish can weigh as small as ten or twenty pounds, or as large as seventy or eighty pounds. The size you catch depends on your luck.

After most of the day, the newcomers who had not been here last year had been stuck here for so long, and they all understood that there were indeed more jellyfish floating here than other sea surfaces.

On other seas, you have to wander around looking for them. They are very scattered and few. But here they are extremely concentrated. With so many ships, there is basically no air force for any ship.

If there weren't so many fishing boats and there were only 1/4 or 1/5, the harvest in that day would be pretty impressive.

When the sun set in the west, the fishing boat that had dropped the longline early in the morning also picked up the longline. The long-term worker on his boat even called him specifically and asked him to crane his neck to look.

After all, they were all there yesterday, and the fishing lines were full of hairtails. Today, someone else put them in, but they didn't put them in. Everyone was curious to see if the person who put them down today had any harvest.

"Ah, empty..."

"Nothing?"

"Not really. It's been a long time since I collected it... Don't say that you're like us, you didn't even see one or two."

"Is it because their delivery is not accurate, or is it all gone?"

"Then it's hard to say. None of us have gone down to the bottom today, and there's no way to see if there's anything else in the trench."

"It was all in vain..."

Ye Yaodong saw that they all pulled in empty hooks, and it was rare to catch one or two fish.

"It seems that I can't do it anymore, and I can't go into the water anymore."

The boatmen also had regretful faces. They thought they could earn more wages by going into the water, but their hopes were dashed after only three days of work.

"Don't be discouraged. We can't do it now. When all the jellyfish here are harvested, they will naturally leave here and go to the sea to search for them. Then they should be able to go down and salvage sea urchins again."

"Maybe it will be like today. Everyone is deadlocked here and no one is willing to leave. There are really many ships coming today."

"Let's see it later, it's hard to say."

This is also possible. After all, the captain of the ship last year would give him face when he brought the ship. He would politely give in and go to the beach to search for less cargo, leaving this area to him to salvage sea urchins.

All the boats continued to stay there until the sun was about to go down. Then everyone ended their work one after another and moved to the familiar fishing boats to make an appointment to go back.

Their boat was also waiting for Father Ye and the other two boats to approach.

"We also caught three to four hundred kilograms of jellyfish today. If we add jellyfish blood, we should be able to sell it for more than ten yuan, right?"

"There are other ships. When the time comes, we will move them all over to see how many there are. How can we earn a bite to eat?"

I can't earn any salary today, so I can only earn some food money.

Aguang, his friends, and the eldest and second brothers also came over to inquire about the harvest and communicate with each other.

As far as they knew, everyone's harvest was quite dismal. There were too many ships and the division was too severe. It was all down to luck.

Some will receive more goods, some will receive less goods, and some will either not prepare alum and salt, and then they will all turn into water, and nothing will be caught.

Fortunately, the number is small today, and there is no competition now.

"Dongzi, there seems to be quite a lot floating today. You were here all day yesterday, and you only sold a total of seventy or eighty yuan. Today there are just more fishing boats, so they are spread out on every boat, which makes the quantity seem small..."

"There will be more tomorrow, and the number will probably increase day by day."

Except for Ye Yaodong and A Guang, everyone else looked happy and looked forward to making money if the quantity increased.

"It would be good if the quantity increased. We have been here for so many days, so today the quantity seems to be a little higher."

"I can finally start making money fishing for jellyfish, but there are too many boats..."

Ye Yaodong thought to himself, maybe there will be more ships in the sky tomorrow, which will be difficult...

Fortunately, he can earn another agency fee this year, so it is not in vain to lend his equipment to A Guang for long-lining these two days.

While they were talking, Father Ye and the other two boats also brought up several buckets of jellyfish that had been harvested and divided throughout the day.

"Ah... I have forgotten that you have so many boats. You still gain the most from such a group. I heard that several people did not prepare anything, and over time they all turned into water."

"Be prepared for any trouble. Anyway, my ship is big and it won't take up any space if I put it on. Okay, let's go back. They have all gone back."

Some fishing boats started to go home after communicating with each other because the sun was setting.

Everyone watched the fishing boats leaving one after another, said hello, and left.

Ye Yaodong and others tied up the small boats at the back and drove a boat with his father to follow the large group back.

After a while, the sea that was originally full of fishing boats suddenly became empty, and all the fishing boats headed back in the same direction.

When they docked, a large wave of fishing boats all returned to the dock together. Some of the small boats looked strange. When did so many boats dock together in such a neat manner?

People standing on the shore thought it was spectacular. The town had never seen so many boats before, let alone docking together.

The most conspicuous among them is the largest Dongsheng, which can be recognized from a distance. Since this boat has caught a large number of hairtail fish for two consecutive days, people on the shore are also waiting there curiously, wanting to see

Let’s see how many hairtails this boat can bring back today and how much they can be sold for.

Before their boat even docked, there was already discussion on the pier.

Everyone has been wondering since yesterday why the fishing boats from other places all go out together and come back together, but only two boats can catch a large amount of hairtail, and no other boats can.

However, they were destined to be disappointed today. The Dongsheng only carried jellyfish, and the total weight of the divided jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins was only about 1,000 kilograms, which was not as much as yesterday.

Other fishing boats coming back from the shore also have some jellyfish, and the scattered ones can be sold for a few yuan.

The local fishermen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it. They no longer caught so many hairtails and made so much money, and they felt relieved.

And everyone is discussing that there are more jellyfish today. They are not looking at the number on the sea surface, but at the goods brought back by these fishing boats.

Because the quantity was not large, Aguang also went to sea today and had no contact on the shore, so they all sold them to the purchasing point on the dock as soon as they came back.

After everyone sold out the items, they were all piled on the open space at the purchase point. At first glance, the quantity was indeed quite large, with some weighing over ten thousand kilograms, so the locals diverted their attention and started talking about it.

"Is the flood coming soon? They can bring back so much in one day."

"Maybe it will be soon... There were not so many jellyfish on the pier yesterday..."

"I'm telling you, they all fished in one sea area..."

"Yes, we deliberately didn't go out to sea at night. We got up early in the morning and waited on the shore, so we followed them. We originally wanted to see where they caught the hairtail fish, but we didn't find the hairtail fish. Instead, we saw them rushing into a sea area. These

All were fished from the same sea surface..."

The crowd around him was in an uproar.

“All caught in one place??? Is it true?”

"Impossible...how can you be so concentrated..."

"Don't believe it. We were there all day without moving. We just watched the jellyfish keep popping up in that area. There are too many boats. Once the jellyfish pops up, the ones that are close

The boat fished them out immediately, and I only caught a dozen of them by chance..."

"There are really a lot of jellyfish there that keep popping up..."

"It's true, several of our boats were following behind this morning, and jellyfish really kept popping up there..."

"Where is it? Tell us, we will go tomorrow too, we can't take advantage of these foreigners..."

"Your small boats can't go there. It takes about an hour to sail. If you go there, it will probably take a whole day of rowing. Only our trawling boat can keep up and go."

"Those who ride horses, aren't they all advantaged by outsiders? They have so many boats, why don't they take them all?"

"I understand. No wonder they caught so much last year. They must have caught it from the same place..."

"Yes, yes, last year their group caught a lot of jellyfish, which means they were carrying guns. Everyone was afraid and didn't dare to follow..."

"tmd made them a lot of money last year, so more ships came this year... I said why there are more ships coming this year than last year..."

"We locals don't even have enough to catch. The fishermen in the town only rely on this flood season. Their small boats can earn dozens of yuan a day. They rely on this flood season all year round. They have caught everything, so what else do we have to catch?"

Some people hesitated and said: "But they went quite far. Even if they didn't catch it, we couldn't catch it..."

"You are stupid. Our local big boats can go fishing. If they have so many boats, aren't they also robbing us..."

A lot of discussion broke out in the crowd.

They had less goods today, so they weighed them casually and settled the bill quickly. It was just because there were many fishing boats and everyone was queuing up to get weighed, so it seemed a little slow. Then all these conversations from the locals reached everyone's ears.
