Chapter 985 Night falls on the sea (7000 words)(2/3)
But as soon as Ye Yaodong caught it in the basket, he climbed out again before he could catch the next one, and even climbed into his rain boots. He felt something foreign inside the rain boots and screamed.
"So soft, so disgusting..."
He immediately leaned against the side of the boat and took off his rain boots. The octopus wrapped around the instep of his feet. After he pulled out his feet, it continued to burrow inside.
"Grass, it stinks to death..."
Ye Yaodong grabbed it out of his rain boots and then threw it into the bucket that others had filled with seawater.
This is a flavorful octopus.
"This net, plus two manta rays, should be sold for three hundred yuan, right?"
"It feels about the same. These goods alone weigh five thousand kilograms, and the useless groceries left on the plywood weighs a thousand kilograms."
"Pick out the shelled ones and throw the fat ones into the pot and cook them all together. Peel a few when your mouth is itchy. It would be a pity to throw them into the sea."
"These shrimps are just a little too small. It's a pity. They taste really good..." Everyone rummaged through them and ate while picking them.
"Fan...Fanfan...is fine...uncle..."
"Oh, I know, I know it's time to eat. Stop talking. It sounds really uncomfortable."
"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard... there's nothing you can do about it! You, you, you have to... get used to it!"
Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing, but unexpectedly he learned to choke.
"Let's eat first. We've been busy for so long and it's getting dark. Eat the food quickly. We can clean up the rest after dinner and dump it into the sea. There's no rush."
"Then carry these things into the fish warehouse and eat. After eating, come out and chop off the tails of the two manta rays. It should take about a while."
"Come and lift it up..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the fish warehouse that was already one-third full. He felt that he would have to contact the fresh-picking ship before the day after tomorrow, and he would have to pick up a batch of goods tomorrow afternoon.
Otherwise, if you wait for one more day, the fish bin will no longer be able to fit in it and will be piled on the deck. The temperature will not be low due to direct sunlight during the day, and it will be easily damaged.
Unexpectedly, the second network was more popular than the first network. There were only a thousand catties of unwanted groceries, and the remaining five thousand catties could be sold. It was better than the Harvest harvest, twice as much.
After dinner, when he went to exchange for his father, he also mentioned to his father the goods he had just received.
"I just walked out of the cockpit and watched for a while. Our two nets have indeed received a lot of goods. I went to sea with A Guang twice before. Your two nets are worth a day's harvest, but your fish warehouse is better than his.
That’s a small two or three square meters, but it doesn’t matter, just contact us in advance to collect the fresh goods tomorrow afternoon.”
"Well, I just made an agreement with the boatmen that we will be on duty in two waves at night. You will work until midnight, and I will come and take over for you after twelve o'clock."
"Okay, then I'll go eat first, and you can watch here for a while."
Father Ye took a look after walking out of the cabin. On the sea diagonally behind him, there were a few shining light spots, which looked like stars in the distance. In fact, they were the headlights and flashlights of the Harvest.
This won't affect everyone, everyone gets what they want, and they take care of each other. He is extremely satisfied.
When the three brothers' boats are delivered next year, we can do this as well. As long as everyone keeps a distance and can see each other, it's safer. Anyway, the sea is vast, so you don't have to worry about running out of things to catch.
Ye Yaodong watched the ship sailing steadily without deviation in direction, so he did not keep staring. Instead, he walked out of the helm building and watched the boatmen below continuing to clean the deck with brooms and buckets, one after another.
All the fish, shrimps and crabs fell into the sea.
It's a pity that a small amount of a thousand catties can be poured into a net, and several thousand catties have to be poured in every day.
If this was a live broadcast, the live broadcast room would be full of curses and a waste of natural resources.
No matter how small or useless the fish is, it can be dried or made into canned fish, such as clove fish and green fish. Nowadays, large pieces of fish are dumped into the sea, and a lot of dragonhead fish are also dumped, mainly because of the quantity.
Too few, too fragmented, no need to keep them.
If the quantity is large, of course we will tell you something else.
When these groceries were dumped into the sea, there were a lot of splashes and fish heads on the sea surface, all of which were big fish and small fish that swam over after smelling the bait.
Ye Yaodong also shined his flashlight on the sea. The fishing boat was sailing forward, and the flashlight's aperture kept moving, but there were always fish jumping in his aperture. This was the phototaxis of individual sea fish.
After he finished emptying a basket, he moved the flashlight's aperture into the boat, and when he was about to continue emptying the goods, he shined the flashlight toward the sea again.
Going back and forth, enjoying each other, who made the baskets of groceries so many.
But when the aperture of his flashlight kept shining on the sea surface, suddenly it wasn't just fish that came up to grab bait.
Father Ye, who had just helped empty a basket of groceries, took the bamboo basket and knocked it twice on the edge of the boat, knocking off all the small fish and shrimps stuck in the cracks of the bamboo strips. He also stretched his head out to take a look.
, cargo that just fell on the sea.
However, he discovered that there were many small tubes popping in the circle of light illuminated by the headlight on the sea.
"Wait, come here and take a look..."
"What's wrong?"
Those holding brooms and baskets all came over to take a look in confusion.
"Are there fish? It's normal for fish to swim over and eat when so much food falls."
"They seem to be small tubes. Take a look... your flashlight attracted a circle as soon as it hit the sea surface. The aperture is moving, and these small tubes also follow the aperture."
"Really... bring me the hand net, let's take a look?"
"Do you have a hand-made net with you?"
"Yes, yes, there are, in the corner of the cabin, all the jellyfish fishermen have been brought on board. Go look for them quickly."
Ye Yaodong watched them running in and out from the helm, and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"
"There is a small tube!"
Have a small tube?
No wonder when he shined his flashlight on the sea surface just now, he saw a lot of white things jumping in the circle of light below. He thought they were small fish, but he didn't expect them to be small tubes.
This thing is also very phototactic.
A major feature of Dongshan Island is that they catch tuber at night every year using lights. With this, they can catch enough cargo to fill the cabin of the boat.
It is also due to the geographical location of Dongshan Island that the surrounding waters are extremely rich in small tube production.
Dongshan Island is also the sea area that produces the highest quality small tubes in the world.
He also shined a flashlight and watched them holding a hand net. As the fishing boat kept moving forward, they fished in the direction of the forward movement, and then raised it with difficulty with both hands.
"It really does!"
"There really is..."
"Try again..."
There were bursts of excited sounds.
Ye Yaodong also saw a small pile of transparent tubes caught in the hand-made net as their headlights flashed. They looked like jelly, crystal clear and had not changed color, but when they were poured into the basket, they turned into another.
White and purple in color.
After pouring the small tubes from a small net into the basket, everyone became excited again and continued to participate in the activity of fishing out the small tubes.
Some people help with flashlights, while others are responsible for fishing.
He didn't go down, he just watched everyone's excited expressions from above, and there were a lot of discussions below, but the sound of the machine was running extremely loud, and he couldn't hear what everyone was talking about, so he just watched them catch one net after another.
Come up.
The quantity is not large, only two or three kilograms are taken out.
But there were so many of them that they couldn't handle it. The few people below took turns lighting the lights, taking turns fishing, and taking turns to rest. This work was quite laborious.
Looking at him made me feel a little itchy.
It wasn't until they were all rubbing their arms and gasping for breath that he called his father to come up and take a look, and he ran down to take a look.
"Ah, there's quite a lot of them. You guys were fishing for them one at a time, but I didn't expect that you also caught a whole basket."
"Even when the fishing boat was working, when we were fishing, the resistance of the water and the wind was also great, and it was quite strenuous. As soon as we stretched it out, the net couldn't weigh more than a few kilograms, and our hands were shaking so we had to lift it up."
"That's great. I didn't expect this little bit of light to attract the little tubes."
He also took a hand net and fished it out. Under the aperture of the headlight, before the hand net was closed, there were already a lot of small transparent tubes lying inside. They were transparent and crystal clear and looked pretty good.
"If you fish it out a few more times, your arm will be sore."
"Without brighter lights, it won't attract much. Otherwise, we can just fish for this. This thing is valuable."
"Catch a few more while there's still time..."
Everyone stopped for a while and felt that their arms were no longer so sore, so they continued to fish again.
Ye Yaodong stopped when his hands were sore.
After a few minutes, as the fishing boat moved forward, the dancing circles on the water turned into a group of small silver-white fish. Everyone fished for a few times, and all they saw were flat anchovies and white-scaled fish.
Then they all turned over and fell back into the sea.
"There should be no more. They are all small fish."
"Stop fishing and rest for a while. If you don't have it, there won't be any."
Everyone rested their hands on the edge of the boat and panted, still looking at the sea with the headlights above their heads.
