As soon as the night arrived, Ye Yaodong got up on time and took a look, there was no wind or rain, so he was ready to go to sea as usual.

The wind and waves on the sea are not big, but the dock looks less lively tonight, and many boats on the shore are still docked there, in the past, when they went out to sea at night, there were headlights flashing everywhere outside the dock, but today the number has obviously decreased a lot.

He estimated that they should all be trimmed, and they all went up the mountain to cut branches, after all, just a day of rest can bring great benefits.

When he rested and went up the mountain the day before yesterday, it happened to rain at night, and it was sunny in the morning, and it was not a loss.

He discussed with his father that he would not go into the water today, and he would not trawl the net first, so he would go to the beach to pick up the squid, and then wait for the afternoon to cast the net, and it would not matter if the cage would be collected every day or two.

Otherwise, no one picks up the stranded squid on the desert island, and they are all cheap seabirds, which is too wasteful, and Jiang Jue on the bottom of the sea can't run anyway, and it will be too late to dig in the water after half a month and a month.

The dark light at night is not good, but picking up squid with a headlamp does not affect, that is, it is not the time of the tide, although the tide is receding, but it is not retreating very low, and there are not many beaches.

The surrounding squid were washed up by the sea and brought down in an instant, and kept repeating, and the stranded ones would be a little less, and they all rippled back and forth in the shallow water.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to pick it up on that small piece of beach, and he went into the water to fish, anyway, he was wearing rain boots, and the handle of the hand-copied net was also long, so he was not afraid that it would be difficult to fish, and the efficiency could be faster, so it would probably cost his waist.

The seabirds are probably full during the day, and they go to sleep in the woods at night, and when they are busy working on the beach, no seabirds come up.

Otherwise, even at night, seagulls or gannets will come out to hunt, and white-fronted shearwaters will appear on the surface of the sea at night, often day and night.

Yesterday I guess they were all fed.

Ye Yaodong held a sack in one hand and a small hand-copied net in the other, slowly fishing in the water, and cooperated with Ye's father in the division of labor.

Just fish it out into the water and it's six or seven cuttlefish, don't be too cool.

As soon as he finished fishing, when the sea water floated and it was sent up, he stood still, and it was enough for him to fish for a while.

Feeling that there were a little less squid washed up by the sea in front of him, he slowly moved his position.

The headlamp on his head shone in a small group of phototaxis fish, and the silver-white figure kept dancing under the halo of his headlamp, rolling like boiling water.

He was surprised to pick it up, and he wasn't surprised to see that it was an anchovy.

Anchovies are also phototaxis small fish, actually called sub fish ji, anchovy, worthless, fish small spines and more, but fragrant, fried particularly fragrant.

It's just too extravagant, I just blew up the sandworm a few days ago, and that was for the sake of Ah Yuan just leaving them to play, Ye Mu reluctantly blew it up once, and now if she is asked to blow it up, there is no door.

The fish ran to the light by itself, gathered around, and jumped on the water densely, he couldn't do it if he wanted to, so he could only catch it reluctantly, and then sell it directly.

He took out another sack from his pocket and packed it separately, saving it for half a day. ….

I just brought two sacks into the water, thinking that there should be fish and shrimp stranded at low tide, in case I can catch a few fish, or pick up some conch shellfish.

He caught a net, both fish and squid, picked up the squid and threw it into a sack, and then poured the anchovies into another sack.

[In view of the general environment, with the interference of these small fish, his speed of catching squid has also slowed down, which makes him a little depressed, squid is much more valuable than small fish, but there is no way, he still needs lights.

As the tide receded, he gradually moved forward, and he also caught two horsefish, and also fished a big red medal, all of which he put in the sack of the anchovies.

When the sky was bright, he turned off his headlamp, and the anchovies were no longer boiling around him, and the forests on the island were also lively, and there was no longer only the sound of the waves, but also the cries of all kinds of insects and birds, and the seabirds in the forest gradually flew out to hunt.

Just after the anchovies were gone, there were seabirds again, which was really head-catching.

With the interference of the birds that grabbed the food, he couldn't work well again, and from time to time he would take the hand-copied net and wave away the daring seabirds beside him.

And as the sky brightens, the number of seabirds tends to increase, which is unbearable.

Ye Yaodong waved off the seabird that wanted to rob the squid in front of him for the nth time, and cursed, "I went to Nima, and not long after I left the anchovies, you came again, and I stewed you all sooner or later."

"Dongzi, take a break, let's have a meal first!"

He replied casually, and saw that the squid in the sack was also seven or eight points full, so he fished it twice more before dragging the sack to the shore, and by the way, he also dragged the half bag of anchovies he had just fished.

"How many have you picked up?" Father Ye straightened up his sore waist and kept twisting.

"It's seven or eight points full, and eighty pounds should be there."

"Didn't you have two bags?"

"Half a bag of anchovies here, and when it gets dark in front of me, I turn on my headlamp, and the fish is attracted to it by itself."

"My bag is similar, and I can't pick it up as fast as you. Now that so many seabirds have flown out, it will be difficult to pick them up again, and the tide will rise again."

Ye Yaodong looked at the seabirds everywhere on the surrounding beaches, and he also had a headache, "I can pick up as many as I can, if there is not much to pick up when the tide rises for a while, I can drive out and drag a net, and come back at noon, anyway, it's in the nearby area."

"We'll see! Let's get something to eat first, my legs are numb and my back is sore, so I'll rest for a while."

"Well, these are carried to the boat and poured into the basket first."

Just as the father and son were carrying a sack and dripping the water towards the fishing boat, they found that a fishing boat was driving in this direction on the sea not far away.

The two of them looked into the distance as they walked, watching.

When they put the sacks into the boat, the fishing boat came closer and closer, and both father and son climbed into the boat, and when they saw that the boat was not much bigger than theirs, they did not run at once, but watched there.

After approaching, Ye Yaodong also recognized it and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's Xiaoxiao's boat with Ah Zheng." ….

The boat recognized them as well and was slowing down, and then the two boats docked side by side.

"Dongzi, it's you, why didn't you go to the trawl? I thought it was someone's ship and how it was docked here."

"I put branches around and planned to catch squid, so I didn't go to trawl, and it just so happened that there were a lot of squid stranded on the beach here, so I picked them up here until dawn."

"Huh? That's it", Xiao Xiao said with some regret, "I want to say that today I will step on it in advance, and tomorrow I plan to put branches to catch squid, thinking that the first time you took us to the surrounding sea to trawl, I remember that there is an island here, so I just dragged a net, and I came to see it at dawn."

"Coincidentally, the branch I put down yesterday was captured in this area yesterday afternoon."

"Forget it, let's look for it." Ah Zheng said with some pity.

"It's okay, the sea around this island is so wide, you put yours, I'll put mine, I'll put it on the east side of the island, you just put it on the west side, it won't have much impact."

The squid will only increase day by day, and it is impossible for him to catch all the squid, and the more branches around him, the more squid will be attracted to stay.

Xiao Xiao said happily: "That's okay, that's also a saving for us to look everywhere, we also heard my father say that it is better to put branches around the island, so I thought that I had paid attention to this island before, and I came to see it in advance today and stepped on it."

"And what about your branches? Who's going to give you the whole?"

"Let my father and my mother go up the mountain to cut, we will come out to trawl as usual, without delay, otherwise if we don't come out for a day, it will be a loss for a day."

"Okay, our brother Yao has also become so diligent and hardworking."

"What nonsense, what did you get from picking up a squid overnight?"

"It's okay, more than 100 pounds, it's just that the surrounding seabirds are too annoying, you can see for yourself."

Little with Ah Zheng

They all looked at the beach not far away, and saw flocks of seabirds pecking at each other, and from time to time new seabirds flew on the sea.

"There are so many seabirds, they will eat all the stranded ones."

"Who's to say it's not? So it's almost enough to be able to pick them up, and I'm about to take a break, cook noodles, eat them, and then continue to work, and I'm tired after working for hours."

"That's right, you cook more, we're hungry too." Ah Zheng said with a grin.

"Damn, you're welcome."

"It's rare to meet at sea, of course I'm going to rub you."

"Okay, then let you taste my father's handiwork, ordinary people can't eat it."

Father Ye had just put the noodles in, and his hand, which was about to put salt in the pot, shook a little, thought about it, and added a small bowl of water.

Then I put the clams I had just picked up on the beach, as well as the small shrimp.

"It's also very convenient to put a coal stove on the ship, and when we go back, we will make one whole, and save us from eating cold dishes and cold rice every day."

"It's more troublesome to cook, and it's hot and a casual meal, and then it's autumn and winter, so I want to get a coal stove and put it on the boat. What have you been doing lately?"

"It's okay, it's just that it rains and winds at both ends for three days, and the number of times you go to sea is less, but you also earn some, and when this wave of squid fishing is over, Ah Cai will be able to pay you back after calculating the money."

Ye Yaodong said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to use the money, you can put it away first, settle down at home first, I just care about it."

"I have earned it intermittently in the past two months, and I have shared a little for each person, which is enough for the family's expenses, and I have saved a little, and I am not short of money."

Ah Zheng also nodded, "I owe debts, and I don't feel comfortable in my heart, and we want to pay it off as soon as possible if we can pay it back, and we are debt-free and light."

"I'll be able to make a good profit catching squid next."

"That's what we thought too."

The three of them chatted, and the noodles in Ye's father's pot were also boiled, "You crawl over and eat first, this pot is too small, you have to cook another pot."

"Okay~"

Both of them ran over unceremoniously and filled a bowl first.

"Hmm~ It's delicious, uncle's craftsmanship is good~"

"Hmm...... It's fresh, and you guys have a pretty complete ......."

Ye Yaodong was a little skeptical, how could it be delicious?

When he saw that there was still something left in the pot, he also scooped it up for himself, and by the way, he emptied the pot and asked his father to cook another pot.

After tasting it......

"Dad, did you mean it all before? It's good not to cook?"

Father Ye glanced at him, and said as a matter of course, "I tasted it today and tried ...... it."

A glass of iced lemonade
