Chapter 191: Going ashore
Ye Yaodong carefully put this piece of ambergris in the corner of the cabin, and then the father and son walked out back and forth as usual.
Li Lao Er always felt that their performance just now was a little strange, and he wondered what kind of treasure it was, but he didn't get an answer, he still leaned on the side of the boat to look, and when they came out, he immediately appeared again.
"Hey, what about you, what's that thing? You are so mysterious, you have to go to the cabin and tell it about it!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him vigorously, "A useless marine garbage, I don't know who ate too much and painted on that piece of wood, I'm going to use it to tie it with a rope as a float."
It is said that it is painted wood, which is quite reliable, after all, it is impossible for a stone to float on the sea, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of wood painted with gray paint.
You can go back and make a whole piece of wood into that shape, and then try to paint it yourself, and keep it for later, just in case.
It doesn't have to be exactly the same, as long as it looks similar.
In case this guy remembers something when he goes back, he can still take it out and gag it.
"Marine debris? Painting? Are you a liar? A piece of garbage ran into the cabin and said?"
"I went to the cabin because I had something to discuss with my father, and I said on the deck, what if you listened?"
If it weren't for wanting to dispel his doubts, Ye Yaodong didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and explained.
"What's so mysterious, why don't you show me the piece of painted wood you talked about?"
"Why? We're going to discuss which sea area to go to tomorrow to put the hook, do we want to tell you what to know? You know, you're going to come with us tomorrow? If you have time to care about this, you might as well go and drag a little more net before the sun goes down."
Li Lao Er was unrelenting, "If you show me that thing, I will believe you."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not, why do you want to tell you? When you fought to the death before, didn't you still think we were troublesome? We don't have time to talk to you, we still have to work."
After saying that, I won't bird him, believe it or not? Anyway, ordinary people would not think that it was ambergris, and there was a long distance in front of it, so he would use wood to make a similar one when he went back.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing was floating on the water, he couldn't believe the stone, and he would have said it was more convenient.
Li Lao Er frowned and watched as they drove the boat out for a distance, knowing that they were working hard to get that thing up and take a look.
At that time, I thought about adding some blockage to them, but I didn't think it would matter if I couldn't catch them.
Dejectedly, he drove the boat to follow, and watched them work there right next to their ship.
Father Ye also felt that this Li Lao Er was so annoying, and he didn't know which village it was from.
"When the yellowfin tuna falls into the sea, you don't want to do it, do you? You can make up for the loss by fishing for another net now, or you might as well go back and rest as soon as possible, so that it is no good to wander back beside our ship?"
"Humph!"
Li Lao Er watched them load the goods continuously after a few hooks, although they were not particularly valuable fish, but they looked not small, and they were a little itchy.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no progress, he scolded his wife and continued to drive the boat and trawl the net.
….
There is a stalemate, they are there to take care of themselves and happily reel in the line and fish, he is there just to watch is a waste of time, it is really better to drag another net.
When the father and son saw that the boat had finally sailed away, they were relieved that the lake had passed, and it would be fine.
"It's really a trouble today."
Father Ye also agreed, "It's worth it to catch good things. I wonder if they'll associate it when they go back?"
"I'm not afraid when I go back, and I'll make one myself when I get back."
"Well, tomorrow I will change the sea area, and the province will encounter it again, and these trawlers of them are generally working in a fixed few locations."
"Okay."
The province is encountered again, causing unnecessary trouble.
Ye Yaodong collected buoys and sunken rocks while picking fish, and connected the main lines
Untie the dots, put them in the basket in turn, and after all the fish are collected, finally pull out the tail anchor.
Today's harvest is huge, although that piece of ambergris can't see the light for the time being, but its value cannot be denied, and it is also because its value is too high, so it is necessary to hold it up a little more at this stage.
After taking it back to air drying, it is sealed and stored, so that it can be stored for many years without being hoked by cats, dogs, and cockroaches.
There is also that albacore tuna, which should be worth more than 100 yuan, and there are a lot of other fish goods, and the offshore resources will be better than the coastal resources.
After getting everything on the boat, Ye Yaodong immediately went to drive the boat, handed over the bloodletting to his father, and then hurried back.
If it weren't for the fact that the goods were confiscated and the moment he got the ambergris, he would have returned immediately.
At this moment, both father and son are also like arrows.
After their boat docked, the sky also darkened, and the villagers around the dock came and went in a hurry, after all, when the meal arrived, they were all hurrying home to eat, and they didn't bother to care about others.
Because Lin Xiuqing was inconvenient, or Mother Ye came out to help pick up the goods, Ye Yaodong asked his father to take care of the fish on the boat first, he put the piece of ambergris into the bucket that was specially vacated, and then took off his clothes to cover it, he had to send this big baby home first, otherwise no one would be at ease when he put it on the boat.
When he met someone he knew on the road to say hello, he would smile and quicken his pace after a few words at most.
People asked him why he was walking so fast?
He said that his stomach hurt and hurried home to the hut.
In recent months, because he went to sea, he went to and from the dock a lot, and bought a tin boat, and everyone was a little impressed with him.
He hurriedly returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, there were two more pendants on his legs, and the sound of calling his father one after another made his head big, and he didn't buy them food in the future!
Buy one or two and stick to him.
"Go, go, play by yourself, I still have something to do."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and took the bucket in his hand, but felt that there was something wrong with the bucket, not because of the weight, if it was fish and shrimp, the bottom would sink, and the weight felt a little unilaterally tilted.
She glanced at Ye Yaodong suspiciously, "What's in there?" Aren't there any fish?"
As he spoke, he was about to take off the clothes on it, but Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "Don't move yet, take it back to the house, don't let the children touch it, and don't let people see it, there are still fish on the dock that haven't been sold, and I still have to go out, I'll just send this thing back first."
….
She was even more confused, and lowered her voice, "Is it something rare?"
Otherwise she couldn't understand it.
"I'll tell you when I come back, you put it first, big brother, are they back?"
"Come back, they came back one step ahead of you, and I helped my two sisters-in-law kill the fish and dry it."
"Already sunburned? Forget it, I'll go back to them when I get back."
Lin Xiuqing saw him go out in a hurry for some reason, so she hurriedly lifted the bucket into the house, and she didn't dare to lift the clothes on it, for fear of bad things.
She is a sensible wife.
I am afraid that the children will run into the house and rummble, and they will not let the children into the house, but only let them play outside.
After Ye Yaodong hurried to the dock again, Ye's father and Ye's mother had already packed the fish in baskets, and when he arrived, he could carry them off the boat and sell them on the scales.
After all, it is the third child's fish, and he must wait for him to come and sell it.
By this time it was already dark, and there were not many people on the dock, but when they saw them carrying a albacore tuna off the boat, most of them put down their work and gathered around in surprise to join in the fun.
The number of big fish on their dock is not nothing, but it is also relatively rare, and there is no one who doesn't like to watch the excitement.
"Oh my God, which sea are you going to? Running far out? You even caught tuna?"
"It's huge! It's got to be more than a meter, right?"
"Ah Dong has had a lot of luck these past few months?"
Ye Yaodong walked in front with the basket, "Let's go."
It's getting dark, so we're selling out early and going home early."
After successively carrying down several baskets of fish on the boat, some villagers did not rush to go back, but waited there, just to see how much the tuna weighed and how much it could be sold.
Everyone looked at Ah Cai's beaming appearance and said, "Don't say that I don't take care of you, I'll count you 2 pieces and 2 cents a pound for this albacore tuna."
Ye Yaodong thought about it, the price doesn't seem to be low, and the weight is there.
Together with his father, he lifted the fish up and weighed, "Weigh, weigh."
Ah Cai first measured its length with a ruler, which is a special treatment for big fish, and weighed it with weights after measuring.
"It's 129 long, it weighs 49 pounds, I'll do the math... 107 pieces and 8 cents, just take the whole 108!"
"Wow~ so much, this fish is so expensive?"
"I've made a fortune, Ah Dong is going out for the first time on a new ship today, right?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing, this fish can reach other people's homes and go to sea for days."
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were very happy, although it was the expected price, but it was still worth being happy that it was really sold for so much money.
There are still several baskets of fish left, one or two cents cheaper, five or six cents more expensive, all of which are only big ones, and there are no small ones.
Everyone was also curious when they saw it.
Ye Yaodong directly said that they used longline fishing, only catching big fish, but it was very expensive bait, and after speaking, he turned his head and collected a batch of the cheapest trash fish from Ah Cai, as well as five catties of small sword shrimp, white shrimp and red shrimp, spent a few yuan, and he asked Ah Cai to deduct it directly from the price of the goods.
His two elder brothers came back early today, and they didn't say in advance that there were no small fish and shrimp to sell him, so he could only spend more money to buy bait, otherwise he wouldn't have to do it tomorrow, and the small fish and shrimp in the ground cage were limited, and they were definitely not enough.
The villagers are all stunned, the money to buy bait is 7-8 yuan, right? This is almost faster than some people putting a day's net, so expensive, who will do it?
In case of bad luck and not many fish are hooked, isn't it a big loss? And spend so much money to buy bait......
Those who were originally a little moved retreated again.
