Chapter 242: Coral
He turned the rolling wheel, collected the fishing net and asked his father to collect the fish behind him, and the parrotfish was also pulled to Father Ye.
Father Ye said happily, "This fish looks not small, more than three catties."
"I just picked up a piece of red coral in its mouth, a little bigger than a fingernail."
"What are you doing with that? It's useless, just throw it back into the sea."
"Why did you throw it away, the big red looks so festive, take it back and keep it, maybe it will be worth it in the future."
"What is this thing worth, give it away to others and don't want it...... Father Ye said disapprerovingly, "Your aunt took a basket of red, pink, white, and black a few years ago, and your mother threw them into the sea as garbage......
"it!"
Ye Yaodong stared at his father with wide eyes in shock, and stopped closing the net, "Really? How did I not know?"
Father Ye gave him a blank look, "Why are you so reactive? Why don't you hurry up and work, and hurry to the shore after harvesting, and go back before the sun goes down, don't you still have to go to the town to sell the emperor's hairtail? What else is grinding? I'll go back as soon as I get the little bit left."
"Ahh No, my mother really threw a basket of corals?"
Father Ye saw that he was a little inexplicable, some worthless things, and he didn't pay attention to his questions, and after bleeding the parrot fish, he stepped forward and turned the rolling wheel himself.
The remaining sticky net is not long, and it was originally made of three-finger 100-meter three-layer net.
"No, Dad, my mother really threw a basket of corals?"
If you don't ask clearly, he feels uncomfortable! Cat scratch the same!
...... A basket of corals thrown into the sea? Do you want to be so extravagant and corrupt?
Although coral is not worth much now, it will be worth a lot in the future......
Uncomfortable......
How uncomfortable is it to hear, why tell him?
Father Ye turned the rolling wheel and saw another toad fish coming up two or three meters apart, and hurriedly urged him, "Hurry up and work, what do you ask, really throw it away, at that time, your eldest aunt and second aunt also threw it away, what are you doing with it?"
"......"
In my heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by, three baskets......
It's even harder...
"Why are you throwing it? Where did the coral come from?" Seeing his father's repeated urging, he had no choice but to endure the heartache, and took the ugly toad fish out of the net as he spoke.
"Why don't you throw it away? The largest is a finger-sized branch, and the smallest one is only half a finger long, and some of them are thinner than a tachyon, so they are useless to take it and take up more space."
"Who said it's useless, it's better to just look at it at home, how beautiful the red and pink look like, how can that little thing take up space?"
, Ye Yaodong really wants to beat his chest! I want to curse!
"Where did it come from?"
He was unwilling not to ask clearly.
"Your aunt brought a big basket over a few years ago, and the old lady divided it among the three of them, but your mother turned her head and waited for your aunt to leave, so she took it and poured it out......
Father Ye said disapprovingly, the sticky net was also in the rotation of the rolling wheel, and all of them were collected, and there were only four toad fish of four or five catties in the last few meters that he collected.
Ye Yaodong took out all the toad fish in the sticky net, threw them into the bamboo basket next to him, and asked bitterly, "Where did my aunt come from?"
"It is said that your eldest uncle has been running a big boat in the past few years, and occasionally passes through the R sea area, and he often catches it when he is working, and the big boat boss stays, and the small ones they have also picked up a lot, and the family is scattered everywhere, so I want to take a little to see if we want to?"
"And then they took it and threw it away? Groove ...... Why are you throwing it away?" Ye Yaodong looked uncomfortable and constipated.
Is there anything else?
"It's useless, isn't it to throw it away?"
Father Ye spoke, his hands did not stop, put the fishing line neatly into the frame, and the sticky net was mixed with some messy seaweed and seaweed, they didn't care about it, anyway, they had to wash it back, and they had to dry it after washing, and they had to make up for it after drying, and then they could continue to use it.
"What are you doing?
This expression? I went to drive the boat home, what are you doing there? If you throw it away, it's not worth much, what's the pity, if you want it, wait back and ask the old lady, she must have a bunch there."
The old lady must be reluctant to throw it away, and the things sent by her daughter are all stored there if they are useless.
Well? And also? The peak turned around, Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, but he was depressed again in an instant.
After the old lady died in his previous life, he didn't see any coral, and he probably either burned it by his mother or threw it back into the sea.
He was so busy with the funeral work that he had been busy with his heart, and he didn't pay attention to what she left behind, and the old lady only secretly gave him a few big solidarities wrapped in a handkerchief before she died, probably because she felt that the coral was worthless and useless to him, so she didn't say it.
Thinking of this, he also felt a little uncomfortable, throw it away, go back and ask the old lady, if she still has it, tell her to put it away, if you don't want it anymore, then give it to him, throw it away, you must not throw it away.
"Dad, you go back and tell your mother, next time if you have it, don't throw it, she doesn't want it, just give it to me, if you see someone else throwing it, ask her to pick it up or tell me, I'll pick it up, I want it."
Father Ye gave him a blank look, "What are you doing with it?"
"If you save it, it's not worth it now, it doesn't mean it won't be worth it in the future, what if it is worth it in the future? Anyway, if you don't want it, give it to me, I want it. What year did you throw it away?"
"The first month of the year before last? Or the year before that? You know now what you're worth later?"
"Ah~"
Who stays at home for Chinese New Year? No wonder he didn't know.
Father Ye only felt that he was a little inexplicable, the things that no one wanted, just scraps, he still regarded it as a treasure, and it would be worth it in the future? Can you anticipate the future?
"Go, go, I'll sail, don't get in the way." Why don't you know? I asked for a long time.
The work of driving the boat was taken over by his father, and Ye Yaodong had to sit back on the small bench and sigh, what a waste of things.
He touched his pocket again, took out the small coral and took a closer look, the color of this red coral is quite uniform, the big red is not mixed with pink and white, there is a little pattern on the surface, it looks very beautiful and eye-catching, inlaid with a ring or embellished on the bracelet, it is absolutely beautiful.
He played with it in his hand for a while, then put it back in his pocket, ready to save it when he got home.
Gathering the clothes on his body, he rolled up his sleeves, planning to take advantage of his free time to pick the basket of toad fish in advance, and the price of the big and small ones was different.
This time, he plans to keep the small ones back to dry, and it just so happens that there is weather these days.
Finally, the harvest of the sticky net at the beginning of the test today is also good, sticking a more than 20 catties, seven or eight catties also have 3, the number of fishing nets is too small, you need to put a lot of harvests together, so the amount is large.
But Ye Yaodong only thought about the poor harvest of the trawl at the beginning, so he made a sticky net to test the water and subsidize it, after all, this net is very troublesome, and it has to be washed and dried when it comes back, unlike the fishing net of the trawl that only needs to be repaired every few days.
Now that there is this rolling wheel, you can put a few more special sticky toads and flounders, which can be full and labor-saving, and the number of trawls may be appropriately reduced.
Ye Yaodong had already figured it out in his heart, after all, the bottom fish still had to stick to the net in autumn and winter, and it was easier to catch.
On the way back, there are many more returning boats on the sea, and some of the fishing boats they operate here are going to go and returning on the same day, and some go for three or five days, and the fishing boats on the sea are the most in the evening every day.
Although in the end they also collected an extra sticky net, which delayed a little time, but they also collected the net in advance, but today the weather is sunny, the sea waves are small, the boat is relatively gentle, and the sun is just setting when the fishing boat docks.
He also sorted a few baskets of toad fish, and two baskets of black mullet, and the price of male and female black mullet is different.
The ovaries of the female are called mullet roe, which is a valuable food and one of the famous products of Wanwan.
There are still a few baskets left in this that have not been picked, and they will be handed over to his father and mother to sort when they go ashore.
fishing vessel
Just approaching the shore and the sea, the ships that were close to each other shouted one after another, and then asked each other how much cargo they had caught today.
The huge white ribbon fish rested on the side of the boat, and all the bamboo baskets stacked next to it were blocked, so the fishing boat next to it didn't see the emperor ribbon fish, only saw piles of bamboo baskets, and they all smiled and complimented Father Ye.
Father Ye was also very happy when he saw the harvest of the boat, "It's all toad fish and mullet, it's just that I'm lucky, I caught a few cow harbor trevally, I see that your boat is also full of baskets, and the harvest is also very good."
"It's pretty much the same, lately the trawls have been full of toads and mullets, and there are a lot of flounder......
"We're pretty much the same, just leave two small baskets to go back to ...... dry."
Father Ye didn't deliberately point out the imperial ribbon fish and say, anyway, he would naturally see it when he was brought down the shore later, he looked directly at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi, will you go to the town when you get off the boat?"
"Well, while it's still light, I'll get a tractor to take me directly to the town dock."
While the catch is fresh, it will be delivered to the town's dock, where the fishing boats are bustling with activity.
Ye Mu also saw her own fishing boat at this time, and also came down from the shore, and as soon as the fishing boat docked, she happily climbed up directly.
"Today's harvest is good, the baskets are all full...... Yes! What is this? What is it? Hairtail? Why is it so long?"
As soon as Ye Mu climbed onto the boat, before she finished speaking, she saw the emperor ribbon fish placed close to the side of the boat, and the whole person was stunned.
She had never seen a fish of this length in her life.
"This is the Imperial Ribbon Fish."
"What emperor ribbon fish?"
"Emperor Ribbon Fish?" The man on the fishing boat next to him also listened to it, and repeated in surprise, "Did you catch the imperial ribbon fish?"
He leaned over to the side of the boat and stretched out his head to look, but his vision was blocked by the bamboo basket, and he could only see a little bit of the fish head and the red tassel on the fish head.
The woman next to her hurriedly asked the man what is the emperor ribbon fish, is it the ribbon fish?
Ye Mu also asked excitedly, "Is this the emperor in the fish?" That's why it's so big, that's why it's called the emperor ribbon fish?"
Father Ye's face was full of black lines, "It's not a species, it just looks alike, this is also called an earthquake fish, you should be vigilant in the next few days."
"Huh? Earthquake fish? Could it be that if you catch this fish, there will be an earthquake?" Ye Mu felt that her brain was not enough.
"It's not that it will happen if it is caught, but if this fish appears, it means that there may be an earthquake or tsunami, otherwise it would not have run up from the bottom of the deep sea to take refuge." Ye Yaodong hurriedly explained.
The couple on the fishing boat next to them also heard the explanation, the woman suddenly realized, and the man was a little curious, "You guys lift up the imperial ribbon fish and take a look, see what it looks like, I've heard the old man say it before, but I really haven't seen it."
"I'll see it later."
Ye Yaodong said hello to his parents, asked them to wait on the boat first, and then get off the boat first, he had to call the tractor first, so as not to delay it and it would be dark.
