He had just been fiddling with the sea urchin for a while, and he had seen five or six jellyfish floating out of the trench, and he had to go and see what the trench looked like.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time, and it is still too late to float after reading it.

Ye Yaodong carried the piercing sea urchin in one hand, and floated towards the trench at the same time.

A long black slit was not long, and the view of the bottom of the sea was blurry, and he couldn't see the end as far as the eye could see, but his visibility was only a few meters before and after, and he didn't have the time to see how long it was.

Carefully avoiding a jellyfish that had just floated up, he looked under the gap on the side, and saw that in the dark gap, there were many transparent jellyfish floating, crowded next to each other, ups and downs, some up, some down, particularly obvious.

He was relieved, it seemed that he could still fish slowly while guarding this trench, but as for the reason why the sea was above the surface, it may be because their fishing boats were overfishing, and the speed of the float could not catch up with the speed of fishing, so a large area was visible to the naked eye.

If it was just his two ships, according to the supply, he should be able to do it.

Even if it's not as good as the previous two days, it's still better than looking around on the sea.

He crouched down in front of the trench to check the number of jellyfish, only to find that the rock walls of the trench were covered with black thorns!

Sea urchin???

It looked like a black thorn on a sea urchin, and he watched him widen his eyes and lower his head again.

It's really all sea urchin thorns!

He looked across the gap again, and although it was foggy, the rocks on the other side were also full of sea urchin thorns.

So much?

It can be seen with the naked eye that the rocks on both sides of this trench are covered with dense black thorns, and they are all sea urchins?!!

With a happy face, he tugged at the tube, and felt that there was still a little longer to go, so he moved a little further, a little down a little bit along the gap.

Although it is said to be a gap, it is not a problem to accommodate two or three people side by side.

I don't know how it was formed, but there is a natural trench in this location, although the bottom of this offshore sea is a little shallow, but this trench is also real.

He went down into the trench, and he was at the same height as the people and the bottom of the sea, and he did not dare to go any further.

At this distance alone, he could clearly see that the rocks on both sides were really densely covered with sea urchins, and they were all big, larger and denser than the ones that had just grown on the strange-shaped reefs.

He reached out and tried to break one down, comparing it with the one in his net pocket, and the difference in size was obvious.

The previous one can be said to be only a little bigger than a ping pong ball, and now these rocks grow on them, which are equivalent to the size of an adult's fist, and one estimate is almost seven or eight taels, which is not much different from the deep-sea species.

Maybe this trench goes all the way down, and the rocks on both sides may also be densely packed with sea urchins, at least he can see with the naked eye now, there are long black thorns on both sides, and he doesn't know how many meters down the line.

I don't know how many meters deep, maybe it is also equivalent to the depth of the deep sea, so the sea urchins that grow are also equivalent to deep-sea species.

His eyes lit up with joy.

Within a few meters that he could see with the naked eye, he didn't know that there were tens of thousands on the rocks on both sides, and probably didn't know how many there were.

Not to mention anything else, just pry off what he can see with the naked eye, it is enough for him to earn, even if he can't catch many jellyfish in the future, these sea urchins alone are probably enough to be comparable to the previous jellyfish receipt.

It doesn't take long to collect these sea urchins, and you can take them away with a casual hook with an iron hook, which is much easier than prying abalone and conch.

After roughly figuring out the situation, he floated up with a net bag in one hand and a large urchin in the other.

Father Ye saw that he didn't come up long after he went down, and he was also relieved, but he saw him holding his two hands high.

"Sea urchins?"

Ye Yaodong handed the things in his hand to his father first, and then climbed up and took off the mask and tube.

"Are there a lot of sea urchins down there? Why is it so big, small in the net pocket, so big is not common. ”

He saw that there were no workers on the boat, and he was probably driven to another boat by his father, and he was relieved and happy: "It's not deep at the bottom, and the messy reefs are full of sea urchins, which are the ones in the net pockets, and they are not big." ”

"This one was broken down from that trench, and the rocks on both sides of that trench are also sea urchins, all of which are of this size, densely packed into patches, and I can only see within a few meters of my sight, anyway, all I see are sea urchins, let alone tens of thousands."

"I guess the places I haven't seen must be sea urchins, so there is no way to predict the number."

Father Ye was extremely surprised, "The rocks on both sides of the trench are sea urchins? I heard that there is a trench that can go down to several kilometers, so if it is all sea urchins, then what is it? ”

"Let's not go down a few thousand meters, the sea surface here is ten meters from the bottom of the sea, and we can't go down too deep into the trench, if we want to pry a little more, we can only follow the gap in the trench, and the fishing boats on our sea surface also move together to pry."

"You can't dig much alone, and you can't stay in the water all the time."

"So you have to ask those boatmen to take turns digging in the water, and you don't need so many people, just call a few cousins over, and the others will still fish for jellyfish in that boat."

"Wouldn't it be safe?"

"It's only a dozen meters, okay, teach them how to use these things, take turns to go into the water and try it, don't go too deep at first, at the beginning, when Ah Zheng looked at the water, isn't it like this? It's the eldest brother and the second brother. ”

Father Ye hesitated, "Can you let others know about this strange thing?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just our own people, it's nothing to say, at most I have a strange tool in my hand, which can go down to more than ten meters in the water, and some people can go down to that depth without the help of tools, but it won't last long."

"There's nothing that people can't know, and I didn't do anything illegal or criminal, and I bought it. It was only when the official salvaged the sunken ship before that I thought about not exposing it, so as not to be directly requisitioned, and there would be no return when the time came. ”

In the future, this thing is very common, but it is a little strange now, but it is not a thing against the sky.

At that time, I was afraid that after the official requisition, I would ask the origin, what did he say? Said it was smuggled?

"Okay, if you think it's okay, then it's okay."

"Try it, don't force it if you don't feel comfortable, and then the people who go into the water will have their daily wages rise from three to five, and making up two yuan is a subsidy, I believe they should work hard to adapt."

"That's fine, then call them over now?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a big net, and wait for me to go down again and see how much I can get out of one trip?"

He said as he walked into the cabin, "Didn't my mother make me a large net bag before?" It's easy to pretend with that, the one tied around the waist is too small, and you have to come up if you can't fit much. ”

"Why don't I try again?"

"Forget it, Dad, you're old, don't toss, and you still have rheumatism."

Diving too much is easy to get corresponding diving diseases, such as decompression sickness, otolithiasis and so on.

Fortunately, he only occasionally went into the water, not as a sport, but as a means of making a living and curiosity.

"Alright then, I'll just watch from the shore."

"You move the boat two meters ahead."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong took out a large net pocket and shook it, tidying it up, this one is not a problem to pack a hundred pounds.

Seeing that he adjusted the position of the fishing boat again today, he put on all his tools again, and by the way, handed the long rope tied to the net pocket to his father to look at, so that he could wait for him to pull it up.

"I'll go down again, it's only been a few minutes just now, and this trip will be a little longer."

"Then be careful."

Ye Yaodong dived into the water again, and a black gap was particularly easy to identify in the water, so he dived directly into that gap.

It's still the same as before, the head is level with the bottom of the sea, and the person has fallen into the gap.

After the goal is clear, of course, it is simple and rude.

He took the hook pinned to his waist, and with his other hand, he spread out the net pocket against the rock, and the hook gently hooked the sea urchin on the stone wall, and a large sea urchin fell directly into the net pocket.

It didn't take much effort at all, it didn't take much effort, but because of the resistance of the sea, the movement was a little slower, not as sharp as on land.

He brushed and brushed, started working mode, turned into a ruthless robot, and hooked one after another.

At this time, he couldn't help but think that it would be good if there were two pieces of equipment, one more person would come down, two people would also have company, and one person would be busy in the sea, how to look lonely.

However, I don't know what will happen next year.

The whole side of the rock was densely packed, with some gaps in between, and he hooked down all the places that he could see with the naked eye and could reach with his hands, and put the bottom part first.

I don't know how long this ditch is, and now I can only move and watch it while working, and it is estimated that I can't finish it on the return trip.

His thoughts flying around did not affect the movements of his hands at all, and in just a few minutes, he felt a heaviness in his hands.

With the passage of time, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he was not greedy, carried the net to the bottom of the sea, and put the goods of the net on the bottom of the sea, and then the person went up directly first.

His father was still alone on the boat, and he watched him float up with great anticipation, "How is it?" ”

"You pull the rope and collect that bag of goods, there are at least fifty or sixty pounds."

If it weren't for the buoyancy of the sea, he wouldn't have been able to lift a single hand.

Father Ye hurriedly did so, he hung the rope on the rolling wheel, and let the rolling wheel slowly put things away.

He is also used to being lazy, how to save trouble and how to come, otherwise how to say, human laziness promotes the progress of science and technology.

It's all about convenience.

After Ye Yaodong climbed onto the boat, he sat directly on the deck and gasped, waiting for the goods to be received, and by the way, he took a look at where the other boat moved?

Fortunately, those people were idle and chatted there, and they didn't take out their cards to play there, or they probably didn't bring them.

Later, I just called a group of people to come and go into the water, which also saved them from having nothing to do, standing there and watching, and they couldn't shoot mosquitoes if they wanted to.

With the rotation of the rolling wheel, a large bag of black things was pulled onto the edge of the boat, and Father Ye hurriedly reached out to take it, dragged it in, and threw it on the deck.

"There are fifty or sixty catties in this, there should be sixty or seventy catties."

Ye Yaodong walked over, "I feel the weight in the water, it's not so clear, I'll go get a basket and load it." ”

"I don't know how much a pound of sea urchin can be sold for here?"

"This one is big, and it might be a little more expensive than usual."

"I'm afraid that they will deceive us and think that we are outsiders, and we will directly give a low price to the purchase."

Father Ye frowned, "That's no way, wait for the shore to ask a few more to see." ”

"Well, pour it out first, vacate the net pocket first, and then call the others to crawl over, and I'll teach them to go into the water."

The father and son worked together to lift the net pocket, untie the opening, and a large bamboo basket was poured to the brim.

"I'll go get another basket, don't be sharp, or I'll fall everywhere."

After pouring a basket and a half, Ye Yaodong felt it, and it should indeed be about 70 catties.

When he was done, he beckoned to another fishing boat not far away, asking them to move the pass first.

Idle and bored, they always paid attention to the movements around them, and when they saw Ye Yaodong's beckoning, they immediately shouted, informed the others, and then pulled the boat over.

"A few of you young, as well as your cousins and cousins, climbed over first, and a few uncles stayed in that boat to catch the jellyfish that floated up."

"Oh, good ......"

"Dongzi, what kind of Dongzi did you just collect from the net...... Hey? Is it a sea urchin? Ye Yaosheng couldn't wait to ask as soon as he crawled over.

"So many sea urchins?"

"We just said what was that bag you pulled up?"

"Did you go into the water to pick it up? How can you pick up so many? ”

"These are big ......."

A group of people gathered around two baskets of sea urchins, chatting and discussing, when the goods were just received, they couldn't see it really from the distance, but they also saw a black net.

Ye Yaodong told them a little about the situation below, and asked them if they were willing to go down to pry the sea urchins, and if they were willing to go down, in addition to their daily wages, they would be subsidized with two more yuan.

And said that he has diving equipment, which can let them go into the water without worry, but when they feel unwell, just come up quickly, and pack the church.

If you feel uncomfortable, you can also try it first.

After listening to this, everyone looked at each other a few times and looked at each other.

"We don't know if we can teach it, it's stupid, hehe, or give it a try?"

"Give it a try, and don't go down if you're uncomfortable."

"It's only a dozen meters, it should be okay?"

"Let's try it, I'm still curious about what the trench that Dongzi said looks like?"

Ye Yaodong brought all his diving things, introduced them one by one, and put them on Brother Ah Sheng first, and taught them how to use them.

I also talked about the precautions.

"You go into the water and try it, I will go down with you, don't go too deep first, just three or four meters, four or five meters or so, swim, try, if you are uncomfortable or afraid, don't force it."

At this depth, it doesn't matter if he dives naked, he can also look at it.

"Then I'll go down and try it first."

Ye Yaodong accompanied him into the water.

Ye Yaosheng was also very rusty and unaccustomed to going into the water at the beginning, but after swimming for a while, he felt fine, and his breathing was smooth, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

He swam towards Ye Yaodong, poked him with his finger, and also pointed down with his index finger, indicating that he had gone down.

Ye Yaodong nodded slowly, and after watching him slowly dive underwater, he also held his breath, and hurried up when he was at the limit.

"How's it going?" Everyone asked in unison.

"He's adapted very well, he's already going down, let's wait for ten or twenty minutes, and he'll almost come up."

"Then we'll wait and see."

While waiting, Ye Yaodong also explained to them the source of his launching equipment, saving them from guessing there one by one.

By the way, I also talked about what he saw and heard when he went into the water before, so as not to be surprised that the rookies didn't go into the water, and gave them a preventive shot in advance.

"You're amazing, you can do it."

"I said no wonder you kept digging up a lot of abalone for a while last year, it turns out that this thing is ......"

"Not only abalone, but also sea cucumbers and Jiang Jue, these are all under the sea."

"And the little green dragon ......"

"Yes, there is also Xiaoqinglong, there are too many treasures under the sea, these are all valuable goods, and ordinary people can't go too deep, and they have to be specialized divers to go down."

"Now I know, it turns out that you have this thing in ......"

Ye Yaodong smiled, "This thing is not so against the sky, at most it goes down to about twenty meters, it is too deep, and our human body can't stand it, everyone is an ordinary person, and they have not undergone professional training." ”

"Yes, yes, you can't go too deep, I used to go down to the water four or five meters by myself, and my ears couldn't stand it."

"Then I've been down five or six meters before......"

"Ten or twenty meters is also very good, and some of the seabed near the sea is also very shallow, and you can go down to the bottom of ten or twenty meters."

"There are still more good things on the bottom of the sea......

"Yes, yes, yes......"

"If you empty all those sea urchins, you should be able to make a lot of money."

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "It's hard to say, who knows how much the price is here, and if there are too many of them, it will lower the price, I have to wait for the shore to go back and ask." ”

"Yes, this is in other provinces, and people are estimated to be bullied."

The others nodded their heads as well.

"Later, you will take turns to go into the water and collect it, anyway, you can collect as many goods as you can."

"Good ......"

Everyone waited patiently, chatting as they waited.

Ye Yaodong also took off all the wet clothes on his body, took off his pants, and only wore boxers.

Compared to the other shirtless people, his body was white and shiny.

Fortunately, it has been two months at most, and some of these people have already found a place to solve it.

He is also still the boss of the boat, otherwise he is really afraid that it will take too long, and his little white face with fine skin and tender flesh will be at risk of being analized!

"Dongzi, why have you been out to sea for so long and still be so white?"

"Your face is a little darker than your body, and our butts are not as white as your face......"

"That's why I wear long sleeves and pants every day, and I cover my face at sea, who is shirtless like you every day."

"Hehehe...... Isn't everyone like that? ”

As they spoke, there was a sudden thud in the water.

"It's up......"

"Ah Sheng is coming up......"

Everyone gathered on the side of the boat and helped pull the people up.

"How's it going?"

"How's the harvest? Are people okay? ”

Ye Yaosheng said with a smile: "It's good, and there is nothing uncomfortable, it's just that it's foggy underneath, and it looks a little gloomy, but it's okay, it didn't stay too long before it came up." ”

"What does that trench look like?"

"It's a dark ditch, I can't see how deep it is, I'll know when you go down, the third uncle can put the rope up, it's probably only thirty or forty catties, it's only half of here, I'm not familiar with it at first, and the movements are relatively slow......"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly said: "It's okay, just go down for the first time to get familiar with it, it doesn't matter how much you gain, it's good if people can come up safely." ”

"Yes, yes, after all, it's the first time I've gone down, and it's also very powerful to have thirty or forty pounds."

"You can go down and take a look later, the bottom of the sea looks quite strange."

"Then I'll be the second to go down......"

When Father Ye was talking, he also collected Ye Yaosheng's net of goods, and fell into the frame with a bang, almost half of the basket, almost full.

Anyway, they have a lot of baskets on the ship, and they are not afraid that one basket per trip will not be enough.

After the net pocket was vacated, the eldest cousin also put on all those things with the help of Ye Yaodong, and how well they were prepared.

Ye Yaodong accompanied him into the water as usual, familiarized himself with it, and then let him go down by himself.

One by one, he took turns to go down one by one, but two of them had a fear of heights, as if they were afraid of heights or something, and after going down for a while, they shook their heads and came up.

He is not reluctant, if he is not adaptable, then do not go down, so as not to get out of the situation.

There were originally 6 people in total, only 4 people could go into the water, and the other two were afraid, so they could go back to another boat and continue to catch jellyfish, and there were 3 people on that boat, who were the same generation as his father.

Originally, in addition to him and his father, a total of 10 people were invited to stay at home this time, and one person stayed at home, and there was no fixed one to guard it, but basically a few cousins he was familiar with took turns to watch the house.

That's just right, the number of jellyfish fishing and sea urchin fishing is half the same.

The goods collected by the four people who went into the water were all about the same, and they were all about thirty or forty catties, and the bamboo baskets were about to be full.

However, when the second round was launched, there was progress, and he could collect more than 50 catties, and he could almost fill the basket, while he still put away more than 70 catties.

Just took turns to launch two wheels, and the boat was full of black sea urchins, about 500 catties, Ye Yaodong was extremely satisfied.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, we have made two trips into the water, and the physical exertion is also great."

Ye Yaosheng said happily: "It's okay, so many people take turns, they have already rested enough, and they are not tired." ”

"You're not tired, but when it's time to go back, you'll have to send that boatload of jellyfish back."

He saw the harvest not far away, which was heading this way, and he had to send his jellyfish back with Uncle Pei's jellyfish.

Everyone's time was just right, and the last person came up, and Uncle Pei's boat also appeared in the distance.

"Shall we go back on this boat?"

"Yes, by the way, I'm going to send the sea urchin back to ask about the price, ask a few more companies to compare, because of the recent jellyfish fishing, I haven't seen any other seafood on the shore, and I don't know if the price can be better."

"Then I'll go to another boat." Father Ye said.

Ye Yaodong nodded, he came out to fish for jellyfish, he and his father have always driven a boat alone, went back alone, and watched alone.

Usually his father delivers the goods back, and there are gangsters who find fault, and the signs are not quite right, so he goes back.

Selling goods today, he has to ask himself, and let his father watch here.

"Uncle Pei's boat is about to sail over, let's also drive to another boat, let's work hard and move the goods over together."

"Okay, good, what's hard or not, it's all we should do."

Pei's father's boat also slowly approached when they were carrying, and he was very surprised when he saw the ship full of black sea urchins.

"Where did it come from? Did you go down into the water? ”

"yes......"

Ye Yaodong told him the ins and outs.

I didn't plan to hide it, and I couldn't hide it, but after docking, everyone could see his boat full of sea urchins.

It doesn't hurt to tell them, they can't get into the water that deep, and they can only watch him gain dry eyes.

Father Pei's face was indeed full of regret, "Sea urchin nest! Then you're really good at this, you can go down to that deep in the water, it's good to have a relationship......"

"Hehe......"

"There are gains and losses, the sea is said to share with everyone, but the bottom of the sea can be enjoyed by yourself, and everyone knows it."

"I don't know how much it can be sold for, I have to ask after I dock to find out, in case the hearts of the people here are too dark and worthless, then it's useless, and I won't go into the water then."

"Yes, this is not our village after all."

"Let's move all the jellyfish first, and let's vacate the place and hurry up."

The boatmen of both boats have already been busy moving back and forth, and their boats are also helping to pick up the cargo.

Don't mix up the goods, everyone's bamboo baskets are marked on them.

Ye Yaodong couldn't do the act of pouring the other party's goods into his basket, and he didn't earn less, so he wouldn't do such a tasteless thing.

So many people on the ship belong to the same village, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and if he goes home casually, his reputation will be ruined.

When the goods were all moved and stacked, he took the first step.

There were also two or three boats on the nearby sea, and everyone was walking in the direction of the town, most likely their people.

After everyone fished separately, they had to go back by themselves to deliver the goods, and they didn't have to take turns, except that he stayed in the trench, and Pei's father went back to find convenience, so he still asked him to deliver it.

It is estimated that the cooperative relationship one by one should be broken down in the evening, and each will settle the account.

Fortunately, apart from the rotational transportation, they don't have any other expenses to mix together, so they don't have to wait until the end of the flood season.
