All of them were dunked into the basket, and he continued to fish around.

Some of the locals around me were chattering and shouting with great excitement, saying a bunch of things they couldn't understand.

So are these people.

"There are too many fish. It has been raining heavily these past few days. It turned out to be a typhoon..."

"There are so many people. People from all over the city must have come here. They are all people. There are more people than fish..."

"How is it possible? The sea is completely covered with fish. There are hundreds of thousands of them at least..."

"Shit, I think there are millions of them. The waves outside keep coming in, and there are a lot of jellyfish. Each of these jellyfish looks like they weigh more than 100 kilograms..."

"I caught one, but I don't have a knife to cut it apart..."

Ye Yaodong shouted to them, "I've already had someone run back to get it. If you catch it, drag it ashore first, and then put it in the basket. Remember to leave someone to watch the goods, don't let anyone take them away in confusion."

Know."

"Fuck, someone really stole it, hurry up..."

Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that where so many of them had piled up their clothes, there were already many baskets, all of which were full. Some women came over to look at them, and some even stole scoops from their baskets with water ladles.

.

The people who saw it immediately ran to the shore and asked for the fish that had been stolen from them to be returned, but they had all thrown it away. Who cared about them? Although they were afraid of so many bald heads, they still insisted on cursing and hurried to the side.

If he runs away, it's hard for them to catch him.

"Forget it, you two stay here and watch, don't go down, otherwise, we will be stolen while fishing, and our work will be in vain."

"When will the people who go back to get the kitchen knives come? It's been a long time. Otherwise, while we are waiting here to guard these goods, we can cut up the jellyfish again."

"Wait for a while, it should be soon. If you can salvage jellyfish, salvage more jellyfish. Bring more up and divide them together later."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he hurriedly dragged an empty basket and continued to enter the water.

This group of people was soon isolated by the locals, everyone stayed away from them, and they also formed a salvage circle.

When a basket is full, people waiting on the shore will come over and exchange the empty basket for a full basket, and then pull the full basket ashore.

Ye Yaodong caught a jellyfish and pushed the basket to the others. He first dragged the jellyfish to the shore bit by bit, and then continued into the water.

Father Ye didn't know when he came to him, with a smile on his face, "There are too many fish, so many, I can't catch them all in one day..."

"It's hard to say. There are so many people. They are all people. People from all over the city who are not working are here. There are still people running this way..."

"I didn't expect that before I left, I could make another trip like this and earn some more money..."

"Ouch, Dad, this sole fish is big, weighing more than ten pounds. Damn, I rarely see such a big one. Hurry up..."

Father Ye was so excited that he quickly caught it. When he caught the fishing net, the fish was still jumping there and wanted to come out, so he quickly threw it into the basket.

Seeing that it was almost full, and the fish was almost jumping out, he immediately used a hand net to press it on top, and then dragged the basket to the shore.

Others around him were also croaking while fishing, with excited smiles on their faces.

"I brought the kitchen knife..."

"Catch more jellyfish..."

"Oops, we didn't use a knife to decompose the jellyfish, the jellyfish will melt..."

"Let's catch fish first..."

"Dongzi, let's catch more jellyfish..."

Ye Yaodong nodded, of course he knew.

Most of the fish brought up by the waves in the sea are miscellaneous fish. There are also many good fish. You just have to try your luck whether the waves will hit you.

Thousands of fish products were constantly being hit by the waves on the beach, and most of the people on the beach went into the water to fight for them. Only women and children stayed on the beach to pick them up.

The sun was rising higher and higher in the sky. Against the scorching sun, everyone kept busy and no one was willing to stop.

When the containers and baskets they brought were full, some people asked people to go home and get sacks. As the time went by, there were less fish on the beach, and all that was left were baskets and bags.

, densely packed.

People's physical strength is also limited. After a morning, everyone is exhausted from busy work, and the efficiency is not as good as at the beginning. More and more people sit down to rest.

Ye Yaodong kept dragging the jellyfish, each one weighing at least several dozen kilograms, and the big ones weighing over a hundred kilograms. After a few hours, his arm had already lost strength, and he sat down on the beach to rest with everyone.

"With such a large amount, we can't finish it all, we can't finish it at all..."

"Our basket is almost full, what should we do? The sun is so strong, it will burn..."

"Intermission, let's drag these goods to sell first. I'll find a tractor and save myself from having to carry them for a long time." Ye Yaodong said as soon as he sat down and took a few breaths.

Father Ye said: "I'll watch here, you go ahead."

He had no choice but to stand up again, waved his arms, then went up to the shore and asked around in nearby villages, and finally a tractor was brought to him.

This is a city after all, and some villages originally had tractors, which were also an important means of production, not to mention that now they are open to individuals and can be purchased. The number of tractors in towns has greatly increased in recent years.

With the tractor, it became more convenient to pull the goods. Everyone helped to move the goods to the tractor.

When the people next to them were loading the tractor, they all asked if they could put the goods on their tractor and pull them to sell together?

"I'm sorry, I have too much goods here. Dozens of people are fishing there together. All the baskets are full, and there are several sacks. The tractor is probably only big enough to carry the goods for me alone. You guys

Go and ask somewhere else, I went to the nearby village to ask."

Everyone saw that the tractor was already piled high on top of the tractor, so they didn’t say anything more and immediately ran to the shore to look for the tractor. If some people didn’t have much cargo, they could share a truck with two or three.

After Ye Yaodong waited for all the goods to be loaded on the tractor, he took a few people to sell them first, while Ye's father and the rest of the people continued to stay on the beach. After they had enough rest, they planned to pack them in sacks.

The efficiency of the forty-odd people was terrifying. The entire heightened tractor was packed to the brim, and the fish caught alone weighed tens of thousands of catties, not to mention the jellyfish, which weighed hundreds of catties each.

It's just that most of the goods he had were trash, and he didn't have time to pick them. They poured them all into baskets, or put them in sacks and put them on tractors. After they were delivered to the collection point, the huge project really started.

.

Some trash fish and small fish collection points don’t want them at all, and only accept those of value. After sorting, about 2/3 of their goods have been eliminated, and the remaining 1/3 of the goods are sold here and there.

It also sold for more than 200 yuan.

However, these do not include jellyfish.

There were tens of thousands of jins of jellyfish that were salvaged and cut up. These jellyfish were much more valuable than those groceries. The jellyfish were sold for more than 600 yuan.

"What should we do with these groceries? Throw them back into the sea?"

"Go back, it's useless to keep so much."

"I've gotten so much for nothing, but it's all useless..."

Everyone looked at Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong could only nod his head regretfully, "Have you picked out what you want to eat? Then just throw the remaining small fish back into the sea."

Although the weather has cleared up after the rain, the waves are still very big and I don’t know when it will calm down again.

These small miscellaneous fish will go bad if left for a day in such hot weather. Even if you add ice cubes, they can only be kept for two or three days at most, which is not worth it. Moreover, the fishing boat is still in the safe harbor and has not yet returned.

After they finished picking the goods, tractors kept coming to the dock, all carrying trucks full of fish.

As soon as everyone got off the bus, they watched them carrying baskets of fish to the shore and dumping them back into the sea. They were all very sad.

"Dongzi, why don't you keep it back to dry it? Anyway, you have a yard there..."

"How to dry it? I want to dry the jellyfish blood. The jellyfish blood from the past few days has been drying there half-dry, and it has not dried. I just divided a batch, and I have to boil it and dry it again. I don't know.

I’m worried that without bamboo flats to dry, I won’t be able to dry valuable things in time. How can I have the tools to dry those dried fishes?”

"That's true. We live in a guest house and there's no place to hang out. It's a pity that we got so much for nothing..."

"It's okay, just give back to the sea. We've caught so much anyway, and we've sold all the valuable ones."

"How much did you sell it for?"

"The fish and jellyfish sold for a total of 900, right?"

"Damn... there are so many! No wonder it doesn't feel bad at all."

Ye Yaodong chuckled. It was indeed true. The jellyfish blood was dried and sold, but the harvest in the morning would immediately exceed a thousand. Those trash fish were really worthless, but they were so numerous that it looked a pity.

"We have to leave first, we have to catch up with the party."

After saying that, he saw that everyone had almost emptied the goods, and there were only a few baskets left. He was a little reluctant to part with them, so he asked them to stop first, and everyone carried them home first.

Wait until they finish their work before planning. If you don't want to take it to some neighbors, you can also give it away. There are also some elderly people living around, so not all of them may have run away. The elderly people who have weak legs and feet must be at home.

After returning home, he left two more people to cook while the others continued back to the beach with him.

When they ran back to the beach, there were fewer people on the beach. On the way back, they saw a lot of people carrying baskets and burdens. They were probably afraid that the sun would burn them too much.

When it’s time to go home and cook, I’ll send some of it home first.

Father Ye was sitting on the beach guarding four or five sacks. When he saw him coming back, he immediately stood up and asked him how much he sold them for.

"It's about 900 yuan, and the jellyfish alone is more than 600. These fish are so worthless, so catch them less. I've seen more jellyfish. We don't have anything to dry them now, so we use them to dry the jellyfish blood. These trash fish are processed

It’s troublesome to get up, and I can’t take it back with me. It just fell back into the sea.”

"Falled back into the sea? So much stuff..."

“I’ve left a few baskets, and when the time comes I’ll see who’s around and send some over if they haven’t come out to pick up fish.”

"That's okay. After all, you have bought a house. We might as well give some of our useless things to the surrounding residents. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors."

He nodded and ran back and forth. He didn't use any strength, but he felt that his physical strength was almost restored. He picked up the hand net and started to run into the water.

He also shouted to others not to catch fish anymore. If there are jellyfish, catch jellyfish. If there are no jellyfish, catch fish.

The number of people on the beach increased and decreased. Except when it was lunch time, everyone went back to eat first. After the meal, many people came over one after another.

There were people working on the beach all day long, catching fish.
