Chapter 258: Moray Eel
When he arrived at the dock, he said hello to Ah Cai by the way, and he would come back to settle accounts with him, but the accounts of abalone had not been settled two days ago. Squeak with him in advance and ask him to prepare the money.
In the winter, it has been sunny for many days, and there are not many ships docked outside the pier, and most of them have sailed out.
The two largest boats docked there, one was Ah Guang's, and the other was his, and he saw that Pei's father was lying on the boat to get the engine, so he moved the boat closer to that side.
"Uncle Pei, I heard that your ship's engine has a problem, where is it broken?"
Father Pei had already heard the sound of the machine before the boat approached, but he didn't have time to see whose boat, so he heard someone calling him, so he sat up and looked at it.
"It's Adong, a few parts are rusty and aging, I'm afraid of something happening at sea, so I didn't dare to go out today, I just went to the town in the morning to buy parts, and this will be changing."
"That's okay, it's good to find it and replace it in time before going to sea, otherwise, if the engine breaks down at sea, it will be troublesome."
"yes, so check it every time you go out to sea, be careful, where are you going now?"
"Go collect a cage, I haven't collected it in days."
"You're very diligent, and you've put a lot of nets."
He laughed twice, "Isn't this thinking about improving efficiency, going out for a trip, how can you earn enough money, put a few more nets on the boat, be prepared."
"You have made a good start in the village, and most of them have started longline fishing, and I heard that the harvest is very good, and the catch is all big fish, and there are no small fish."
"It's okay, you can try, you fix the machine first, I'm going to sea too, I won't bother you."
"Go, go, go."
Ye Yaodong drove the boat out again, but when he arrived at the sea area he was familiar with, he couldn't find his buoy!
!
"Grass, can't it really be destroyed by the waves?"
He didn't see the familiar buoy after going around the surrounding sea for a long time, only seeing someone else's, a little depressed, and he didn't give up and drove to the outside sea again, wanting to look for it again.
But I didn't see anything, but I saw a lot of people working at sea.
After a long walk, he still couldn't find it, and when he was about to go back, he heard someone calling him, and he turned his head to look for the source of the sound, and saw a small wooden boat gliding towards him.
Oh, it's Ah Zheng and Xiaoxiao.
He sailed the boat toward them, and seeing how hard they rowed, he couldn't help but say, "You can change boats."
Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "We also want to, the shortcomings are expensive, do you want to sponsor a little?"
"How much do you lack?"
It's a good thing to have this self-motivated desire to change a big ship, and it's nothing to pull a brother, it's better than lending it to someone who doesn't know what to do.
"I haven't counted it yet, but I have this plan, let's see if it's good to buy second-hand first, I can't afford a new ship."
"Then you can take your time and find out, and if you have the right words, I can still help."
"Hehe, it's not much, it's not much for two people to share it, maybe it's a few hundred yuan, and you have to have a boat to get the difference."
Ah Zheng said while sorting out the cargo on the ship, "Dongzi, have you dispersed the cage again and changed positions?"
"Huh? Do you see my cage?" Ye Yaodong was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
"See, there are two in the east that should be yours, right? We saw your buoy when we came in the morning, and you opened it?"
They helped him collect it a few times last month and recognized his buoy.
"No, isn't it because of the earthquake a few days ago, I soaked in the sea for too long the day before yesterday, and I thought about resting for two days, and asked my eldest brother and second brother to come out and collect it. Who knew they didn't find it, so I had to come out and look for it myself, but I didn't expect it to be really gone, and I just walked around a lot."
"We thought you were too full, so we opened up."
"It's just a few rows of cages, and my brain is sick. Let's not talk about it yet, I'll go over and have a look."
It's good to find it.
He happily drove the boat in the direction they pointed out, but saw only two buoys around, and for a while he did not bother to look for them, and planned to take them first.
A net operation, fish and shrimp burst the cage, but some pity, put it for too many days, all of them turned over the white belly, only scattered some are still alive.
I have to pick and choose for half a day, it's a pity, so many fish and shrimp. It shouldn't be bad to harvest two days earlier, who knows that it will be rushed here.
At this time, he didn't have time to sort, so he took back a ground cage, and then continued to collect, and then continued to find, pouring all the goods into the basket, and he didn't care whether it was dead or alive, and continued to collect the ground cage.
Each cage is heavy, and there are a lot of goods, but there is really not much alive.
Tears run, a row of ground cages have been collected, only three moray eels are still alive, some may have just died and are still fresh, but most of the fish's eyes are cloudy, and when you look at a few of them, the gills of the fish are dark red and mucus.
These three moray eels were very fierce, with their mouths wide open, and they attacked each other in the basket.
Finally, there was a job, Ye Yaodong took a bucket of seawater and sandwiched them into the bucket, which was more than a meter long, and the thickness of an adult's arm was quite rare.
Moray eels are different from moray eels in that they have fins on their chests and moray eels without fins.
The head of the moray eel is pointed and long, while the moray eel is long like a snake, with a distinctive pattern on the body, the skin is very thick, very fierce, the head will be relatively small, the teeth are relatively large, and there are two sets of sharp teeth, one is used to bite the opponent outside, and the other is used to swallow things.
After collecting a row, he drove the boat to another buoy, who knew that there were still 6 moray eels in this cage, and when they poured out, they almost attacked him, biting the back of his hand, but fortunately he reacted quickly and retracted.
These 6 moray eels are large and small, the big ones are estimated to be more than one meter two, and the smaller ones may be less than one meter, and after all of them fall into the frame, they attack each other.
Before he could catch the bucket one by one, he suddenly saw a moray eel with its huge mouth open, biting another moray eel with a slightly slender body, and biting it with its wide and sharp teeth.
It's a little scary to look at, but its mouth actually bites the middle of another moray eel's body, and it can still swallow it.
At this time, the other moray eels also saw it, rushed up and bitten, and killed each other.
Seeing this, Ye Yaodong hurriedly separated the big one from the small one, and rescued the half-dead moray eel from the tiger's mouth.
He carefully pinched them down one by one and threw them into the bucket, the big one for a bucket and the small one for a bucket.
But one accidentally, the clip slipped and fell into the boat, this guy was unusually fierce, raised its high-spirited head, and took advantage of his defenselessness to bite directly at his feet.
"Grass! Fortunately, Lao Tzu is wearing rain boots."
I saw that this moray eel had just bit the rain boots with a huge opening, but it didn't bite it, Ye Yaodong reacted quickly and stepped on its head when it was about to attack again, and crushed it hard.
"Death for you!"
Its long tail swam and struggled desperately, from fierce resistance to a faint writhing in the back, and after not moving at all, Ye Yaodong waited for a while before he was relieved to move his feet away.
I saw that its head had been flattened for him, and it had burst into pulp.
He picked it up with tongs and threw it into the basket, and then he would pick it up with the fish.
The moray eel in this net still took a lot of effort on his part, mainly because it was too fierce, and it was not easy to be bitten.
There are also a few cages that he continues to collect, almost every cage will have one or two strips, and more than three or four.
It's not as much as the cage just now, and I don't know if it's been eaten, but the few remaining ones in the cage are quite big, and each of them looks like three or four pounds.
When he put the last cage away, when he was pouring, he happened to see a squirming little white chapter, which was bitten on the head by the moray eel next to him
, and then swallow the whole one directly.
"Damn, it's too late to stop it, it's swallowed in the blink of an eye, and it's just a good thing to eat."
After Ye Yaodong read a sentence and clamped it into the bucket, he folded the ground cage, and there was only one in the last ground cage.
He's going to put them away and put them in their original places, and he'll have to look around or look outside.
He may not have seen one or two, two or three moray eels, but just now he could catch a lot of two rows of ground cages, the first row received 3, and the second row received 15.
The dozen or so together are about fifty catties, this is not cheap, much more expensive than moray eels, he has to look again, where is the rest of the ground cage swept by the waves.
After turning around, he found one at a distance away, and was a little relieved that he could find a row.
Pull the cage up, only to find that the fish bag is a little empty? Only a few stone crabs and pufferfish?
He continued to twist and turn, but it was empty again, and there was not a pound of goods in the bag when he untied it......
"***, stolen!"
He scolded and grinned twice, and then put away a whole row of nets, which was really not a few catties, and the whole row of ground cages together could not reach the one just now.
Maybe it was left for too long, so someone stole it, and he looked around, but there were really a few buoys floating.
Depressed for a while, he continued to look for it, but he didn't see it around, so he drove to the sea farther away, and he really found another one without thinking, and there were a lot of good goods.
When he put the first net away, he saw that there was a lot of goods in it, so he took a new basket, most of it was not fresh, but there was a super large blue crab!
"it, Blue Crab King!"
Ye Yaodong looked at the huge blue crab crawling in the basket in surprise!
He stretched out his hand to grab it, but found that his five fingers were open, and his palm couldn't control it, and he couldn't grasp the shell on its back, and he needed two hands to grasp it.
Normally, one or two catties of blue crab will be grabbed by adults with their palms open.
Sure enough, there are strong winds and waves, which means that there are big goods, such a big blue crab, he has never seen it!
