Everyone chatted, and after a while, the eldest cousin came up.

This time, Father Ye didn't need to do anything. They spontaneously went to roll the wheel to receive the goods alone, and the remaining people helped to pull the eldest cousin up.

"How much does it weigh this time?"

"I don't know. The weight estimate under water is not accurate. We will know when we collect it. Who will be next?"

"I, I, I..."

"Then let's go to Chen Shi."

"Why."

"I think your stuttering seems to be getting better..."

"It's okay..."

From eight words for stuttering to three words for stuttering, there has indeed been progress, Ye Yaodong thought.

My eldest cousin has indeed made progress this time, and can also collect fifty or sixty pounds. After getting familiar with it, I will definitely gain more every time.

Ye Yaodong also took turns with them, but he went down last.

This is the fourth time he has gone down today, but the sun is setting now, and the light on the seabed is not as abundant as at noon. It is even foggier than at noon, but it is still barely visible, so he can only go down twice this time in the afternoon.

.

He pushed aside the nearby water plants and ran directly to the trench, with a clear purpose and a quick victory.

After the two trips were completed, the sky became a little dark, and the sky was filled with glow. After Ye Yaodong climbed up, they hurriedly and slowly sailed back.

His father had already arranged for another boat to be sailed back to the island first, with the net bags they put on it. Every evening they would return to the island first, collect the net bags, cut up the jellyfish and transport them back together.

This wave of sales in the evening was more than in the afternoon, because everyone was familiar with the business and the efficiency was higher. The sales were a full 135 yuan, one-third more.

Ye Yaodong was extremely satisfied. He collected the money and planned to tell the people who would stay to visit the house tomorrow to buy some meat and treat them to extra meals tomorrow when he went back.

As for the sea urchins he pried off from the bottom of the sea when he first entered the water at noon, he never took them out and kept them for extra meals at night.

The total price of jellyfish sold today has also shrunk.

After returning home, Aguang gave him the money he had not paid in the afternoon.

Throughout the whole day today, the amount of the two boats was less than 750, and he didn't mention the fraction. The bulk was from the jellyfish blood. The jellyfish blood was caught two days ago. It was dried for a day yesterday and sold this morning.

of.

Moreover, they received the goods as usual this morning, but the volume started to shrink in the afternoon. It is estimated that they will make less money selling the goods tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, because there is less blood on the big heads of jellyfish.

Prices were already falling due to the increase in goods, and now it's even worse.

The people in the next room are already discussing that they will settle the accounts today and start fishing for their own money tomorrow. Anyway, the trench has been almost empty by them, and there is no point in forming a partnership.

Fortunately, there was a large sea urchin growing in the trench, which allowed him to make up for his losses.

When he came back in the evening, everyone had spread the word and knew that he had discovered a sea urchin nest under the trench. They were all jealous, but they also knew that he had to use tools to get down to more than ten meters under the water.

Moment after moment, I felt so regretful that I could only shake my head.

In this situation, they have no ability to get a share of the pie, so they can only watch helplessly.

But fortunately, everyone has made a lot of money during this period, and they are basically grateful. People like them who came here last year can share the place with them so that they can also earn this money.

Although Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao had gone into trouble with Ye Yaodong before, but in this situation, Ye Yaodong didn't invite them to join. Of course, they didn't have the nerve to take the initiative to speak, so they could only hold back.

After all, he also hired long-term workers to work in the water, so there was no need to share the profits with them. Asking them to work together in the water, there was no need for so many people.

Ye Yaodong arranged for three people to rest the next day, and the remaining people continued to go to sea.

The villagers were a little unwilling to give up. They did not believe that the trench had been hollowed out by them, and they fantasized that a large number of them would emerge after one night.

So early in the morning, everyone did not go their own way to fish, and they all went to the trench.

After the night passed, as everyone expected, a lot of jellyfish appeared in the trench. Everyone looked happy, but soon their faces fell.

How can the little bit that emerges be enough for their twenty-five boats to catch?

It only took a few strikes, or at most half an hour, before they were surrounded by a group of them and completely wiped out.

Even the ones with a diameter of about ten centimeters were not spared. It was a sure kill.

After it was completely empty, everyone dispersed and went to the sea to search again.

There were only two of their boats left in the trench. Ye Yaodong thought for a moment, there was no need for both of their boats to be here if they were scattered one by one. Anyway, they were not going into the water so early in the morning.

He let his father's boat stay in the trench to catch fish sporadically, while he sailed the boat out for a spin on the sea to catch as many as he could, maximizing the benefits and saving everyone from sitting there in a daze.

.

Father Ye also agreed, "That's okay, as long as I have a boat here. Just remember to check the time and come back early."

"knew."

"I don't want you to deliver the goods back to the pier any later. I'll just go. You can take your brothers and get into the water early and see if you can go down one or two more times and get some more sea urchins up."

Ye's father was heartbroken yesterday when he found out that Jellyfish's profits had shrunk by nearly a quarter after it had lost money. It was all money, and it would be even less tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

He also hopes to catch more sea urchins to make up for it. Anyway, when he comes back after delivering the goods, he can still catch all the jellyfish that have floated up but have not yet drifted out.

"That's okay, then I'll go wander around the sea and look for it first."

"Go ahead, don't run too far."

"knew."

Ye Yaodong drove the boat around aimlessly on the sea. Occasionally, when he saw jellyfish floating by, he would be poked by others, and if they were close, he would catch them with a hand net.

Sometimes we simply turn off the engine and let the fishing boat float along with the wind and find it as it happens. Anyway, we already have the sea urchins at the bottom. Now we can catch as many jellyfish as we want.

Sometimes when I see it, I purposely sail to get there.

It was probably not the end yet, and there were quite a lot of jellyfish floating nearby. They caught them sporadically all morning, and they still weighed two to three thousand kilograms, which was no worse than waiting for the fish in the trench.

It can be said that it is less than the previous one but more than the lower one.

The offshore sea area is wide and the range is large, and there are more targets that can be found. There is no need to compete with a bunch of small wooden boats like on the coast.

These areas farther away can only be fished by trawlers, and small wooden boats cannot reach here.

Ye Yaodong returned after waiting for the right time and moved all the divided goods to his father's boat. While they were moving, Uncle Pei also calculated the right time to drive back.

However, after Father Ye sailed away, Father Pei did not leave immediately, but asked him curiously.

"Are you ready to go into the water now?"

When they were carrying it, Father Pei saw that their boat was empty and there were no sea urchins, so he asked about it in confusion, and he explained it.

"It's a little later, it's only around eight o'clock now, take your time, don't be in a hurry."

"Oh, I thought I was about to go into the water now and wanted to take a look. If you don't go into the water now, why don't you show me your diving equipment and let me try it out?"

Everyone has curiosity, and Ye Yaodong shrugged obediently.

"Okay, then you can crawl over here."

This is not his real father, and he doesn't want to persuade him not to get into the water or anything, so as not to think he is stingy. Men of this age are a little unwilling to admit defeat, so it's okay to give him a try.

Father Pei hooked his boat with a hook and brought the two boats together. He climbed over neatly and saw that they had taken out the tools in the corner and prepared them there.

With a curious look on his face, he looked over it with great interest, and asked Ye Yaodong to teach him how to wear it.

Ye Yaodong also put them on for him one by one, and took the trouble to explain the precautions and other things.

In fact, he was quite annoyed. He was willing to talk over and over again, but he could only pretend to be patient and knew everything. He was an elder, a friend's father and an in-law, so he could only be polite.

Father Pei also went into the water as he was told.

It only took five minutes before Father Pei came up immediately.

"Why so fast?" Ye Yaodong was surprised.

Everyone also helped to pull Father Pei up.

"Oh, I'm old and can't do it anymore. I went down and saw the trench. It was exactly what you said. In fact, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. But when I lowered my head and saw the long trench that looked like a black hole, I felt...

I can't help but feel panicked, always worrying about something strange crawling out of the black hole-like place underneath."

Ye Yaodong looked clear.

"Oh, that's it. That's normal. Two cousins ​​also went into the water before. They also felt scared after going down and came up. It should be a phobia of the deep sea. They feel that the bottom is unfathomable. They feel panic after watching it, not to mention

It fell to the bottom.”

Father Pei nodded, "That's probably the case, but I feel a little panicked when I descend to the bottom of the sea. I don't know how deep it is, but it can't compare to the moment I saw the trench."

"Sigh... I originally wanted to give it a try and see if it was useful. Then I decided to bite the bullet and see if I could ask you to buy one. But now it seems that I am not going to eat this..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Uncle Pei really knows how to think.

I didn't have much contact with him before, I just thought he was an elder who was very easy to talk to. I went to their house to drink every day, and occasionally I bumped into him at home. He didn't say anything, and he smiled and drank with them.

Now it seems that people all think for themselves.
