Chapter 322 - Placing the Oovic
Everyone sat at the door to bundle firewood, and the straw ropes were all freshly kneaded, and the thin branches were broken and tied into small bundles, and then set aside.
Then the father and mother of the leaf tied the fishing net on three fixed bamboo pole supports, leaving only a conical mouth on the outside of the fishing net, and a bunch of branches hanging in the center of the net as an egg splicer.
It is made into a cage or a branch, which has a better egg attachment effect.
The cage type can effectively avoid a large number of squid eggs stacked on top of each other without affecting the squid egg laying. Moreover, it can effectively protect the eggs of squid from being damaged by other marine organisms.
In fact, if you want to breed squid, now is the best time.
After catching the squid, the branches with eggs can also be retrieved for hatching and nurturing, maximizing the benefits.
But at this time, there is no concept of breeding, no one can breed, and Ye Yaodong will not either, he plans to wait for its spawning period to pass, and then take back the attached branches.
The eggs of the squid are also called squid eggs, and they are also good things.
A few children were there to help carry the bundled branches, stacking them on the cart and breaking the branches.
Lin Guangyuan was boredly dragging a bundle of branches to him, and he also folded it, "Why do you have to tie so many branches to catch squid?"
Ye Chengyang innocently asked, "Does the squid want to eat the branches?"
"It will hang the rice in its stomach on the branches, and we can catch a little more squid when we take the opportunity."
The seeds in the stomach of the squid and the small tube, they will verbally call it rice, because it is very similar to rice.
The children didn't seem to understand, and Ye Yaodong didn't explain much.
After a while, Mother Ye asked them to eat, and after eating, they continued, working until it was dark, still doing it with the lamp on.
After Ye's father and mother helped Ye Yaodong do it, they went to help Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua do it, until everything was done, and after cleaning up, Ye's father went back to the old house to sleep.
At night, the father and son and the two boats all went to their own familiar waters.
Squid like to lay eggs near the near waiwai islands, Ye Yaodong drove the boat to Huangdaiyu Island as usual, which is one of the near-wai wai islands he comes to most often, and the day before yesterday a large number of squid that had laid eggs and died were found outside this island.
This shows that the water quality around this island is very suitable for squid to lay eggs, which is of course the first choice.
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the faint light of his headlamp and flashlight to look around, and stopped within 50 meters of the island and reef.
Just as he was about to put the egg branches, Father Ye stopped him, and hit a bucket of seawater, about two catties into the soup pot, and he also gently patted the soup pot twice with his hand, only to see five or six points of light appear in the water.
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "What are you doing, Dad?"
"This is the old method, and the light spots in it are noctilucent insects, which can be used to determine the squid's fishing. When 2~5 luminous insects emit light spots, the squid flood season begins, and when the number of light spots reaches 10~15, it means that the squid flood season has arrived."
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
"That means that the flood season has just begun, and it is not yet at its peak."
"Yes, the next shipment will only increase day by day."
"Ginger is still old and spicy, and I learned it."
Father Ye was a little complacent, "There's still a lot you don't understand."
….
"Well, I'm starting to put it?"
"Let's put it, don't put it too deep, the effect is better within ten meters from the sea surface, and when the squid swims over, we can see it clearly on the sea, remember to put it evenly."
"Okay."
If you should listen to the old man, you have to listen to the old man.
Ye Yaodong took out a bundle of strapping attachments, connected and fixed them with ropes, and tied the sunken stone rope and float, and threw them evenly into the sea, keeping them properly about five meters below the surface of the water.
After all the votes were made, he cast a buoy to put the mark.
These need to be marked at sea, otherwise it is difficult to find, and having a mark can avoid becoming a headless fly.
Father Ye watched from the sidelines, feeling very satisfied, and felt that he had a great effect, "Just put it down, the effect is not so fast, come back after noon, the squid spawning time is generally from afternoon to evening, this time period is relatively large, this is everyone's fishing experience for many years."
"Got it, then go trawl and come back after 12 o'clock."
Because he wanted to catch squid today, he didn't collect bait, anyway, the trawl net harvest has been good recently, and he still has to collect the ground cage, I don't know what the harvest of the ground cage is if he doesn't come for a day? Have you ever been hit by the waves and stuck in the cracks of the reef?
It was only before four o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark, and although it was close to the reef, it was not suitable for entering the water.
After the boat drove a distance away, Father Ye dragged the sorted fishing net to the tail slipway and slowly lowered it.
While working, they also accidentally ran into two other boats in the distance, which were also working at the same time, and the lights on the boats made them aware of them from afar.
Most people are okay, as long as they don't deliberately find fault, most of them avoid it, and no one wants to deliberately find trouble.
After Ye Yaodong saw it, he also kept his distance, and several *** trainings made him remember that he stayed away from the fishing boats at sea without any accidents.
Wait until daylight before they plan to set up the first net.
Just when they slowed down and prepared to raise the net, they saw many fish carcasses floating on the sea surface at the tail of the fishing boat, and two big fish that were floating and floating.
"Dongzi, I'll pick up the net again, go and throw the net over and cast it to see."
"Okay." He also saw the fish in the sea.
The father and son took the net and the other drove the boat back to the side, and then threw the net completely to cover the shark and the floating fish around it.
After waiting for a few minutes, I borrowed a rolling wheel and rolled up the hand-tossed net with little effort.
As soon as they reached the front, they saw fish wrapped in nets.
"It's all skinned fish, just a few small yellow croaker."
"Pull it up first."
Together, they rolled up a large bag of fishing nets on a rolling wheel, dragged them to the deck to untie them, and poured them all out, only to find that the fish had cut wounds.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about looking at the skinned fish, so he took the lead in killing the half-dead shark with a stick, so as not to explode and hurt people when he was dying.
Father Ye squatted down and picked up a few skinned fish, looked at them, and counted them all in his heart, and the shark wound next to him was more obvious.
….
He threw the fish in his hand and said, "These fish must have been hit by the propeller at the bottom of the boat, and they should have encountered a school of skinned fish just now, and when the boat drove over, the propeller at the stern of the boat directly cut through the underwater fish at high speed."
[In view of the general environment,
The fish that fell to the deck not only had wounds cut by the propellers, but also had been cut in half or several pieces, and even cut directly into minced meat.
Ye Yaodong also picked up a few and looked at them, it did look like a trace of being cut by a propeller, and the eyesight of the skinned fish was also low, at most he could only see 12 meters, which was relatively blind, and it was too normal to hit the propeller.
"Dad, cast a few more nets, and catch all those on the sea back to dry, don't waste it."
"Then cast two more nets, and catch that shark by the way."
These fish have cut wounds on their bodies, and they are no longer available for sale, so they are either used as bait or dried. It just so happened that the stock of dried fish at home was almost at the bottom.
Originally, this fish was not welcomed, but there are many good fish in this era, and it is more troublesome to peel the skin of the fish to eat.
Peeled fish has a layer of rough, frosted, tough and elastic skin, which must be peeled off before it can be eaten, so it is called skinned fish, the official scientific name is horse-faced pufferfish, but no one calls it, it is called skinned fish.
But after a few decades, the marine resources were gradually depleted, and even the dog-spit fish were on the table, and the status of the skinned fish naturally rose.
Especially the skinned dried fish, which is expensive and delicious!
The father and son have seen it and don't waste it
It took five or six nets in a row to net all the fragmentary fish on the sea, most of which were skinned fish.
These fish are really cut in pieces, and the intact ones also have slight cuts.
There is no need to sort, anyway, they are all taken back for their own keeping, they are all poured into the basket, and then pushed to the corner, these skinned fish are also a lot of them, piled up 4 baskets, and there are almost 200 catties
The two sharks also have traces of cutting one by one, and the cutting is very even, just like a flower knife for a fish, which is very beautiful!
The father and son also carried it into the basket and piled it together.
After finishing it, they had time to start the net lifter and drag the nets up from the bottom of the sea.
With the harvest of the peeled fish just now, Ye Yaodong thought that there was absolutely nothing in this net, but he didn't expect that he had just dragged it up, but found that it was all horsefish, and only a little skinned fish was on the top of the net.
"I think I just met it, and it's in this area, so there's only a little bit on the net."
"Majiaoyu is good, Majiaoyu is worth a little money", Father Ye said as he untied the net and poured it out, "Recently, it has also been a fishing flood for Majiaoyu, and your eldest brother and second brother have also dragged a lot of Majiaoyu recently."
"It's good to make money, and the quantity with a high price is small. Later, we will drag a net around the area, the skinned fish are cheap, but there are many of them, and it is nothing to have more nets."
Skinned fish are swimming in groups, large fish are its natural enemies, and when the short-sighted skinned fish find their natural enemies, it is too late to escape, and the population can only swim in groups to survive.
Only in sufficient quantities can some of the skinned fish in the population escape, and the population of skinned fish can survive.
This feature is also the reason why the price of peeled fish is close to the people, because once encountered, a group of fish is fished, and if there is enough production, the price will be cheaper.
After they arrived at the fish, they sorted out the nets and put them down, and then one person drove the boat, one person sorted, and the division of labor cooperated.
Just as the propeller had just hit the skinned fish, he walked around the area, and saw that the time was almost up, and it was almost afternoon, and he drove to the sea next to him.
The last net, the last bit of time, had to be used, and the boat was not far from the reef before he was ready to set up the net.
