Chapter 487: Understanding the Situation
I didn't touch them at first, maybe they were still on the edge, but anyway, the further I went, the more fishing boats I saw, and everyone didn't interfere with the river water.
However, sometimes I don't see jellyfish for a long time, and they are not so evenly distributed.
Ye Yaodong saw that there were so many fishing boats on the sea catching jellyfish there along the way, and he was completely relieved.
Having a boat to catch shows that there is a market, someone is harvesting, and I am not afraid that no one will want it.
The other three men were also relieved, they were actually very worried that no one wanted them, and they were doing day jobs, although they were only getting paid, but it was not good for them for the main family to lose money.
Father Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, they saw that there were many boats in the sea in front of them moving in the direction of the east at the same time, and the stern of the boats was still dragging fishing nets, which were covered with dense and colorful jellyfish, and there were quite a few of them.
Father Ye also pondered in his heart that it should be almost there, those boats are estimated to be docked in nearby villages, and the goods in the fishing nets are too heavy to be pulled up by manpower, so like them, they have been dragging them.
He simply approached the nearest boat and shouted in his broken Mandarin with a Hokkien accent to ask for directions.
But the old fishermen on that boat didn't seem to speak Mandarin at all, and they spoke to them in their local dialect that they didn't understand, and the young people on the boat translated them in the less standard Mandarin.
Only then did they know that ahead was their village, Changjing Village, which belonged to Muhua Town, Yangping County.
After hearing that they had arrived in a small village under the jurisdiction of Yangping County, everyone was relieved that they had not made a mistake.
After Ye Yaodong expressed his gratitude, he said to Chen Jiannian: "All roads lead to Yangping, since there are villages around here that are also fishing for jellyfish, then we will dock directly here, there should be no problem, right?" After you go up, you can inquire about how far away the specific location of the factory is, and then contact it, and just come over to pull the goods directly, okay? ”
Chen Jiannian nodded, "Okay, I've heard of Muhua Town, so let's stop in this village first, and I'll go ashore to find a place to call first." ”
After reaching an agreement, Father Ye also followed the ship in front of him and walked slowly.
The green hills in the distance are getting closer and closer, and the village is gradually coming into view, and many large and small ships are docked on the shore in front of them.
It's finally time to dock.
The fishing boat gradually approached the shore, and everyone clearly saw that the shore was densely packed with people, coming and going.
The beach is covered with colorful and transparent jellyfish, where people in the shallows drag fishing nets to the beach.
There seemed to be more than a dozen people dragging each net there, and the jellyfish in it were densely packed and crowded next to each other, and it looked like there were a lot of them.
Everyone couldn't help but be speechless, the closer they got, the bigger their mouths opened.
"My dear, it's a beach full of jellyfish, and there are so many of them!"
"So many people are busy on the beach, so many people are gathered on the shore, is it dividing? I guess all the men and women in the village are here, right? ”
"There seem to be a lot of ...... in the fishing nets behind us."
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father looked at each other, they seemed to have underestimated the flood season of jellyfish.
"There should be no fewer jellyfish in our fishing nets than them, and the speed of the fishing boats just now is obviously much slower, but it doesn't seem to be easy to get ashore?"
Ye Yaodong suddenly doubted whether the jellyfish in the stern of the boat could be dragged by them......
Father Ye was also a little worried, they were not locals, and they had no relatives and friends to help, so they could only rely on their own people.
"Let's see later, if it doesn't work, cover it with a hand-copied net, and drag it to the shore one by one, you can only use a stupid way."
Ye Yaodong's head was big, "It's the only way to do it first." ”
The fishing boats in front of them stopped a little distance from the beach, and the people on board jumped down and went to the stern to untie the fishing nets, and the relatives waiting on the shore also went down to help drag the nets.
Father Ye also docked the boat at the far corner, after all, they are strangers, and they are not familiar with the place, so it is better to go to the corner to keep a distance first.
As soon as the ship stopped, Ye Yaodong first went to the stern of the ship to collect the towing gang, and when it was twisted to the net plate, he fixed the net plate on the net plate frame to make it out of the towing gang.
The other three cousins and cousins and Chen Jiannian also jumped into the water one after another to pick up the nets that Ye Yaodong had untied, and Ye's father also took two hand-copied nets after parking the boat.
At this time, the jellyfish that had been dragged up and down in the fishing net were all on the surface.
Everyone will see this clearly, and they are also a little excited in their hearts, such a large piece, it is estimated that there can be thousands of catties, no wonder those people in front of them have to dispatch more than a dozen people to pull.
When Ye Yaodong collected the troll, he stood on the fishing boat and saw it more clearly.
These jellyfish, all of them are big, one can top the several he had collected before, and there are some fish mixed in the nets, but they have just been squeezed down by the floating jellyfish.
He looked at the boat next door, and the old fisherman on the boat seemed to be the one his father had just asked for directions.
There were quite a few of them in their nets, and quite a few young men came to drag them there, and the old fisherman and a few young men also noticed them, but they just glanced at them and ignored them, and went about their own work.
Ye Yaodong thought that everyone was busy working there at this moment, and he didn't have time to talk, so he had to smile at them kindly, and he was busy with his own business first.
He jumped into the water and helped to tug at the fishing net with the group, only to find that he couldn't move much at all.
"No, Dad, let's drag them ashore one by one, and when the number is less, it's easy to pull."
"Okay."
He and his father took a hand-copied net and stretched it into the fishing net, and detained a jellyfish out, both of them tried not to let the skin come into contact with it, this one looks good, and it is poisonous.
"Be careful, don't get stung on your hands and skin."
"It's so heavy, this one by one is dragged to the shore, and it's not so easy to drag."
"This is still because of the buoyancy of the water, and when the water is shallow, it will be difficult to drag it down."
At this time, Chen Jiannian said: "This fishing net can't be dragged up now anyway, so I can only fish it out and drag it one by one, so I will go ashore first and call a friend, so as not to keep the goods on the boat there to dry." ”
"Yes, yes, you hurry up and call first, and give the goods on the ship first." Father Ye hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'll go to the village first to see if there is a phone and ask first."
Ye Yaodong also urged, "Then you go quickly." ”
"I don't know how much these jellyfish can be sold for on the boat."
"You'll know when you sell it." Ye Yaodong held a hand-copied net in his hand, and dragged the jellyfish inside all the way to the corner of the beach.
After finding an open space, he poured it out.
"It's really big, it's not easy to drag this one, Dad will watch it here first, no one in the province is watching, it was stolen, we are not good at talking to a foreigner."
"Okay, then we will take turns to watch, and then we should rest."
"Hmm."
Ye Yaodong took his father's hand-copied net and returned to the sea, and the four brothers were in groups of two and two, dragging them in turn, which was not too tiring, but it was just laborious.
After dragging back and forth 4-5 times, he saw that the people in the next boat had already dragged all the goods ashore, so he hurriedly handed the hand-copied net to the others, and climbed to the boat to get cigarettes.
He was going to have a chat with the old fishermen or young people next door, and by the way, he asked about the jellyfish market, and he didn't know how many days they had been fishing.
Thanks to his previous life, although he still speaks Mandarin with a strong Hokkien accent, at least he can speak, and he is quite fluent, unlike his father who has spoken dialects all his life, and Mandarin can't be spoken, only listened.
He walked over with a smile and plucked two cigarettes for the old fisherman and two more for the young man he had just communicated.
"Hello two comrades, my name is Ye Yaodong, and I just asked you for directions on the boat. Your family is really prosperous, they are all strong laborers, and this wave of jellyfish will definitely earn a lot and make a fortune. ”
The old fisherman smiled and muttered a lot, and he was a little confused.
Or the young man explained: "My dad doesn't speak Mandarin, and he asked where you came from?" Is it also in the area around Shatou Town? ”
Shatou Town is also at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, but it is under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, and the words spoken by the generation there are also very similar to Hokkien dialect, and they also speak with a strong Fujian provincial accent.
Ye Yaodong did not directly or indirectly admit and deny, but changed the topic and said: "Do the fishing boats in the area over there often dock in the surrounding area?" ”
"Isn't it, who lets you get close? In the past year or two, they used to drag it and bring it back, but now they directly dock with our surrounding towns, and they can be sold directly when they are dragged ashore, and they will not be divided. It may be that the fishing team has not been disbanded before, or the collective economy, and the goods have to be brought back. ”
Can you sell the whole one?
If you can sell the whole one, it will save trouble, and if you are not familiar with this place, you have to ask someone to boil water and dry it, and no one will stay there to watch, and it will be stolen in three or two clicks, and there is no place to reason.
He asked again: "How many fishing boats in your village go out to catch jellyfish, I see that there are a lot of boats on the beach, you should also be a big village here, right?" I think you have a lot of brothers, and you must have earned a lot during this time. ”
"There are about 60 boats, most of them are small wooden boats, and there are only four boats as big as yours." Speaking of which, the young man also felt proud because his family boat was also very large.
"Our family of 7 brothers and a few nephews, could have fished well, but was delayed by the typhoon some time ago, and it has been raining intermittently, and it has been raining for almost half a month, or it is windy and cannot go to sea."
"It's only been sunny in the past two days, and everyone has caught a lot, but fortunately, this flood season can last for another month or two, otherwise dozens of our families will have to drink the northwest wind."
Jellyfish are most afraid of wind when fishing, and if there is a north wind of 6~7, the jellyfish will sink to the bottom.
