Chapter 255: Eyes bulging
There are not many hooks left, Ye Huimei can make perfect with practice, and she touches the fish along the rope, except for the occasional empty hook, most of the rest are hanging toad fish, and she picks the hook while disgusting.
"Why are there so many toad fish? It's mostly it, and I can't catch it all."
"In the winter, isn't there a lot of toads and fish? Don't you eat it deliciously?"
"That's what you eat, but it doesn't stop me from disgusting it with ugliness!"
"Leave a little more in the evening to go back to dry dried toad fish, a little more of the year's goods, the New Year will not go to sea, and you will have a good year at home."
Toad fish has no hard bones on its body, and after drying into dried fish, the bones are very crispy, and ugliness does not affect its deliciousness.
In fact, he still wants to dry a little more dried horsefish, but thinking about the horsefish is still worth two or three cents, he still sells it, this kind of toad fish for a few cents is taken to dry, kept to eat, and does not feel distressed.
Ye Mu nodded, "Okay, this year is better, you can keep more, don't be so tight, the 200 catties that were dried last time are only more than 30 catties after drying, and there is not much to divide."
"Then this fish will not be sold today, let's take it to dry, there is not much, and those baskets of valuable ones will be sold."
Today I collected 5 baskets of toad fish, 2 baskets of horsefish, half a basket of halibut, a basket of mixed fish, such as sole fish, dumb fish, black sea bream, manta ray, etc., and a few other good fish, the most gratifying is the giant cobia.
The big yellow croaker died when it came ashore, but the two groupers were still swimming well in the barrel, and today's longline fishing harvest was okay, but there was no time to put a few more hooks, and there was no time to trawl.
I don't know if all the trawling boats have burst their nets today.
After receiving all the fishing lines into the basket, he and Ye Mu carried the baskets to the corner and folded them to save space.
Father Ye also went to drive the boat back, this time it was already more than two o'clock, and if he returned to the shore, it was estimated that it would be more than three o'clock.
Ye Yaodong's bare legs were so cold that he couldn't do it, the cold hairs on his legs stood upright, and they were all goosebumps, which was too sinful, but it also made him remember it for a long time, and he would have to bring an extra set of clothes when he went to sea in the future.
When his father drove the boat, he sat down by the stove again, and lifted his legs up to make a fire to keep warm.
There are no boats on the way back, the weather is good today, the sun is just setting in the west, it will be better to go down the mountain for a while, and you can catch another net, it is estimated that the fishing boats have not docked so quickly.
Ye Huimei looked at the basket and looked at the basket, and then ran to the corner to look through the sack, her face was full of smiles, she was very excited, and it took a while to come over again.
"Third brother, let's go out to Taohai on the first day of the next junior high school, right?"
"Too full? Is your home too comfortable, or hasn't the sea breeze ever blown? On a cold day, don't stay at home, and still want to run to the island, the cold wind will blow you to death." Ye Yaodong said angrily.
"Just once in a while, and I don't go two times in three days, and I blow it once in a while, it's okay."
"It's okay to blow it once in a while...... Look at my face, it's only been a few months, and I've gone from a little white face to an authentic fisherman's face."
Ye Huimei looked at her third brother's appearance that had changed greatly in just a few months, and her face, which was a little black and red by the sea breeze, was suddenly a little distressed compared to the previous white and tender.
Her third brother has been used to it since he was a child, and at most he was naughty and tanned a little in the summer, but he soon came back in white, and he really didn't get sunburned like now, and he looked old.
He's really been working a lot in the past few months.
But she didn't say anything about slapping him, but hit him mischievously, "Ahaha... It's okay, it's not as good as Dad, he's an authentic fisherman's face, you're still almost, you need to keep working hard, so take me there again."
Ye Yaodong glanced at her, "If you go to sea a few more times, it will be the same as me."
"Hum ......"
She shrugged her nose and snorted softly, then unwillingly turned her head and shouted at her mother, "Mother......
"What for?"
"Hey...... We haven't dug much with shells today, the reef is densely packed, and at the beginning of next month, let's ask the third brother to take us on a trip, otherwise the New Year's goods won't be dry."
Ye Mu nodded approvingly, "I have to come again, today."
I didn't pry much, half a sack, and I couldn't dig up much meat."
Ye Yaodong stared dryly on the side, and the stinky girl would look for help.
"Dongzi, take us on another trip after a while, and we'll bask in a little more before the year......
"It's almost enough, why are you doing so much, didn't there be a surplus before, there are so many dried fish, after the first month, the weather is warmer and you can take you out to sea in time, why do you have to rush to the cold now? The wind is so strong on that island......
Ye Mu interrupted him, "Just come back next month, and don't delay you about anything, you can pick us up and put us on the island by the way, we can just dig it ourselves, you don't need to do anything."
"This year is indeed a little more sun, Ah Guang has no mother, and there is no woman Zhang Luo in the family, when the time comes, I will send it over, your sister will marry his family a year ago......."
Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong had nothing to say, "Okay, okay, if there is no wind and waves on the first day of the first month of next month, I will bring you here if there is good weather."
"Hmm."
After Ye Huimei's goal was achieved, she raised her eyebrows at him proudly, Ye Yaodong gave her a big white eye, and continued to roast the fire.
When the fishing boat was approaching the dock, he put on his pants that were not so wet, and he was about to take a moment.
At this time, the tide was high, and the fishing boat was directly docked, and Ye Yaodong and Ye's father first lifted the toad fish to be left on the board cart and let Ye Huimei watch it.
Ah Cai sat at the door and watched the father and son carry, a little surprised, looked at the sky and looked at the table below, isn't it just over three o'clock?
"Is the wind blowing? Why did you come back so early? So many people are still going today?"
"There's no wind, and there's no trawling boat docking, right?"
"Yes, you were the first to dock, what do you have today? Are these toad fish going to be kept for drying?"
"Yes, seeing that the weather has been good recently, I plan to spend more time on the New Year, there are other things on the ship, wait a while."
After Ye Yaodong and Ye's father moved all the goods they wanted to keep to the board car, they went to carry other fish goods, and a basket of fish goods was carried into Ah Cai's purchase point, and then they carried a bamboo basket containing cobia and gray mako shark, which suddenly made Ah Cai's eyes light up.
"Such a big cobia? This is a giant cobia, yes, sure enough, there are big fish in the wind and waves, is there a big one in the back?"
"There are no big fish."
"Huh?" Ah Choi was a little puzzled, "No? That's all? The waves at sea have been rolling for two days, and you have gained so much? And you're coming back so early?"
"What's the hurry, there are no big fish, there are others, waiting."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he walked out with his father, and Ah Cai was also curious about what else there was, so he also walked to the shore, watched them carry another basket down from the boat, and stretched his neck to take a look.
"it, little green dragon!"
He was pleasantly surprised and surprised, "That's a lot! What the hell, this thing is on the coral reef under the sea, it's not easy to catch."
"Good luck today, you help us get it in, this is not heavy, there are other goods on the ship, wait......
Ah Cai took the basket in his hand and scolded, "Made, you told me no, and now you still have it, what about teasing me?"
"Do you have any big fish?" Didn't I tell you no?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, and then continued to carry it on the boat.
Ah Cai actually just underestimated two sentences, complained, and moved the bamboo basket containing the little green dragon to the acquisition point, and he happily grabbed a few and looked at it, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the father and son carrying a super *** bag in.
He hurriedly put down the crayfish in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" Seashell? You guys searched the sea today, and you didn't have a trawl? No wonder so many people are going, and the fish are seriously shrinking."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to untie the straw rope tied to the sack, and stretched out his head to look, but his eyes widened in shock, "Huh? Holy, abalone? This sack is all abalone?"
Ye Yaodong didn't care about his noise, and walked out with Father Ye more and more.
"Damn, do you have anything else on board?" Ah Cai stared at their backs, a little incredulous that they actually dug up so many abalone and came back?
When was abalone so easy to catch? So flooded?
Isn't this all reef cargo that lives on the bottom of the sea? Where is it, so powerful? There was more than one sack, no wonder I landed in advance today, and I was still wondering in front.
No way!
He hurriedly followed, and as soon as the father and son carried the goods ashore from the ship, he hurried to help take over.
After carrying the three and a half bags of abalone ashore, Ah Cai's mouth was already happy and couldn't close it, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else?" Anything else?"
"No, it's all here, this bag is a big conch and abalone, you have to pour it out and pick one, and the other two and a half bags are all picked."
"Did you poke the abalone's nest? Why are there so many?"
"It's a reef, and a reef suddenly appeared on the sea, crawling with abalone......" Before he could say it, Ye Mu said excitedly.
Ah Cai's eyes were about to protrude, "Damn, can this good thing happen to you?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's eyebrows and danced there excitedly, talking and gesturing excitedly, and kept describing how big the abalone was, the reef was crawling full, and they only dug half of it, what a pity......
That's an exaggeration...... Obviously, it's almost 2/3 of the way up......
He couldn't help but hold his forehead...... Middle-aged women...... I finally saw what it means to be a rumor......
In fact, he is not afraid to tell Ah Cai, anyway, the reef has sunk back into the sea, he doesn't say it, and the people in the village may discuss and speculate more after they know about it.
He interrupted his mother and added, "We accidentally ran into a reef that was topped up at sea this morning, probably because of the earthquake a few days ago, and the reef on top was crawling with dense abalone and conch, but unfortunately it didn't come out of the water for long, and we didn't dig much before it sank again......
"The little green dragon was also fished near the reef, but unfortunately it ran too fast, and just fished out a net with a hand-copied net, and the rest ran away."
"Grass, all the good things have happened to you, no wonder you came back so early."
"It's not that easy to dig, and my feet are swollen. Okay, hurry up and weigh the contents of the sack, or you'll be too busy when all the fishing boats come in."
