Ye Yaodong glanced at the boatmen on the fishing boat of the Harvest on the side, and they were all talking to each other there, as if they were talking about the scene just now.

He also regretted in his heart that he didn't take a camera to take a photo of a group of manta rays flying into the sky just now, who would have thought that there would be a group of manta rays?

Originally, the fish couldn't fly long in the sky, but in fact, it was just a leap, and it jumped into the water all of a sudden, and he was worried that when he ran into the cabin, he would rummage through the camera, and when he came out, it would be gone, so he just watched there.

But it's okay that I didn't take out the camera, otherwise the waves behind it would have been scrapped one by one.

When he looked at the Harvest, his father also waved the red flag at the other party, and then when they looked over, he shouted at Pei's father, "Let's go to the net first." ”

Pei's father also put his hands to his mouth and shouted in a trumpet shape, "Okay! ”

It is inconvenient to communicate in the middle of the sea from a distance, so you can only shout briefly.

Then the personnel on the Harvest also began to get busy, and when Ye Yaodong saw this, he ran to the cockpit, drove the boat to the side, and pulled the distance between the two boats.

The fishing nets of their kind of trawl are three or four hundred meters long, which is really close to each other, and if you work together, the fishing nets will be entangled and it will be troublesome.

Several of the Dongsheng boatmen went to the aft deck together, lifted the fishing nets together, and slowly threw them into the sea.

The cables of the two dragnets are more than 300 meters long, originally piled on the gangways of the ships on both sides, and as soon as the nets enter the sea, the cables are quickly pumped off, like a snake, and all of them enter the sea in just a few minutes.

When the net is completely down to the sea, the mouth of the net opens wider and wider under the action of the feng shui board, and it is a hungry dragon that opens its bloody mouth.

This is the first net that the Dongsheng officially went to sea to cast, and Father Ye kept staring at the side, and only after the end did he call the boatmen to change their clothes together, change the wet clothes on their bodies, and dry them in the water.

After the change, Father Ye went to the cockpit.

"Come on with me, you go and change your clothes."

"Okay, you keep the distance from the Harvest as far away as possible, let's run forward, as long as we can see each other, we are in front, and the Harvest will follow as well."

"I know, let's just keep going, Lao Pei and they are also there to go down, and they will continue to move forward."

Ye Yaodong handed over the cockpit to his father, and went to the back of the cabin first, and the boatmen changed their clothes and ran to the deck, all in high spirits and staring at the sea with excitement, wanting to see if they could still see the manta rays fighting sharks.

Everyone's beds were at the back of the cabin, and a wooden board separated the space into beds and storage rooms, because there was only a one-meter square hole, Ye Yaodong could only bow his head and burrow in and out.

The bed is two layers, about one meter seven or eight long, half a meter wide, lying on it can only curl up to sleep, the bedding is new, there is no dampness and sea smell.

The storage room is piled up with stoves, rice noodles, large buckets of water, a few nails nailed to the wall, and cooking utensils and miscellaneous items, and the space is used as much as possible, everything seems cluttered but orderly.

He opened his trunk from the stern of the boat, and all he needed to do was change into a padded jacket and trousers, and when he was done with his hunched body, he took his wet clothes and pants to the storage compartment next to them.

One of the buckets inside was already half a bucket of water, and the ground on the side was wet, probably left over from the washes of the boatmen, and he also put his clothes in and let the water soak them, then took them out and wrung them out, and then took them out and hung them.

The water in the bucket has been reduced by more than half, Ye Yaodong just put it away, this water can still be used, it can't be wasted, you have to wash your hands at any time, and you can come in and wash it.

A few ropes were pulled outside the cabin, and a bunch of clothes that the boatmen had just changed were already hung on them, and after Ye Yaodong hung his clothes to dry, he called them over to cook.

It was already twelve o'clock at noon, and I had to cook at least a little after cooking, just when the fishing nets were now in the water, and I couldn't come up for two hours, so I took advantage of the free time during this period to quickly cook and eat.

Calling the people over and letting them take turns cooking, he stood on the deck himself, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

"You should buy a telescope......

The sea was so vast that they couldn't see clearly, and they were so far away from the Harvest that they kept their distances after they lowered their nets into the water.

Thinking so, he also returned to the boat, took out his sunglasses and put them on first, at least it wouldn't make the sun so dazzling, and went back in two days to see if there were any binoculars, buy one, and the equipment that should be prepared is complete.

The fishing boats have slowed down, and there are no waves surging up on the bow of the boat, and the sea looks calm and waveless, and I don't know if there is a dark tide below.

It takes two and a half hours or three hours to close the net, and there is nothing to do during this period after the first time the net is closed, if they haven't eaten yet, they have only come out this morning, and everyone is not tired, otherwise they should go back to bed and rest during this time.

After all, after the fish come up, sorting is also a big project, and there will be no idle moments in the future.

Ye Yaodong had been strolling on the deck idly, looking at the sea around him, and just as he wanted to turn his head to see if the meal was ready, he saw two behemoths floating on the sea in front of him.

A large shark bites a manta ray and struggles and wriths to the surface, splashing and waving on the surface of the sea.

"Oops, I'll go!! Fight here! ”

He looked at the harvest in the distance again, and felt that he should be quite far away from the position just now, but he didn't expect that the two populations had already hit here.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly shouted to the other boatmen to come over, and instructed someone to ask Father Ye to slow down the boat a little more, turn around a few times, and don't go far first.

The rest stood on the deck, pointing and pointing not far away.

"Oh, that's a big one...... This is bigger than the big round table at home, and it is two or three meters wide, right? ”

"The shark is not small, it should be three or four meters old, and when I saw the teeth exposed, I bit the manta ray hard, and watched the devil die."

"This ran so far, no wonder the fish in the sea are so big......"

The fishing boat kept a distance around the neighborhood and didn't go straight ahead like it had just done, so you could still see it around, and the sharks and manta rays were constantly fighting, struggling and moving.

"I... We...... Yes... I can take a net... Go... Go and scratch... Catch? ”

"In the trawl, the boat is always moving, you can't stop and cast the net, let's watch first."

The tools on board are complete, and the tools and things they are used to on the trawler have been brought over, and they are all properly prepared before going to sea.

Ye Yaodong asked them to throw the net and the sharpened long bamboo pole first, and also let them take all the bamboo poles tied with iron hooks for later use, what if they could pick up a leak later?

The shark bares its sharp fangs and bites the manta ray, which also flicks its tail and slaps the shark from time to time, and the two big fish dive to the bottom of the water for a while, and then surface from time to time.

The shark is one of the ocean's apex predators, and its sharp teeth are its best weapon, capable of tearing almost any prey.

And the tail of manta rays is poisonous, and their toxins are concentrated in the stinger on the tail, which is triangular, and when in danger, the manta ray will stab this stinger into the enemy's body.

But this big shark is huge, with rough skin and thick flesh, and the stinger can't help it at all, so the two fish keep entangled.

The two fish were inseparable, and the fishing boats kept a distance around them, intending to see the situation first.

In the white-hot battle, the manta ray was getting more and more at a disadvantage, and the strength of the struggle became smaller and smaller, and a huge manta ray suddenly flew up in the distance, like a parabola, and instantly slipped down to the sea.

Due to the distance of their fishing boats, they were not affected by fluctuations this time.

It's just that the big manta ray, which had just slipped down, suddenly appeared around the two fish that were inseparable after a while, and as soon as it came out of the water, he slapped the shark with his huge pectoral fins.

The two wings of the manta ray are its pectoral fins, which are larger than the kite, especially this one, which looks much bigger than the one that was bitten by the shark.

"Holy! This one is bigger! ”

"There's a bigger one again!"

"The shark seems to be stunned?"

"There are two dozen in the sea......

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened when he saw it, and he didn't know when the sunglasses on his face had been removed.

I saw that the big manta ray kept fanning the shark with its pectoral fins, and the shark's mouth bit another manta ray, and it couldn't free its sharp teeth, so it could only keep slapping it.

Probably stunned, the shark dragged its mouth and bit the manta ray and sank directly into the water, and disappeared in an instant.

"That's it?"

"Gone?"

"Didn't you watch it for nothing?"

"Definitely fighting under the water......"

"There are a lot of fights under the water, and I didn't see two populations of hundreds of them in front, probably all of them were fighting in groups below."

Just as the Dongsheng was looking for its target and about to move on, a shark bit the fin of a manta ray and came out of the water again, right next to their fishing boat.

Just as they were in an uproar and hurriedly retreated, the huge manta ray appeared on the surface of the sea, and the shark probably fanned out, and immediately bit a large piece of flesh, and then dived into the water.

And the huge manta ray that emerged also dived into the water with it.

There was only one manta ray left on the surface of the sea, missing a large pectoral fin, and the blood had just spread a little on the surface of the sea before it was diluted without a trace.

The manta ray, which was missing half of its pectoral fin, seemed to have lost its balance and swayed on the surface of the sea with the other pectoral fin, as if it was about to sink into the water at any moment, but struggled to float.

"Is that big one chasing sharks?"

"It's just dead!"

"Fish him up before he drops, right?"

It is also because of its huge size, and its relative vitality is also a little more tenacious, and it has lost a small part of its pectoral fins, and it can still flutter, and it has not immediately sunk into the water.

However, it seems that it will not be long before it will sink to the bottom of the water and become food for other fish.

"Fishing, it must be fishing, fortunately, it will float up at this time and be on the side of the boat, although the boat is moving, it is also moving on the side, and it is not far from us."

Now the wind is blowing, the fishing boat is moving smoothly, and this manta ray is surging with the waves, and it immediately keeps the same direction as them.

Ye Yaodong was holding a long bamboo pole with a hook tied to it, "You can also take one each, help try to catch it, this one is probably about to hang." ”

"Okay, okay......"

"The wave is coming right away......"

"Will that big manta ray suddenly appear and slap us?"

"No... No way? ”

"Thinking too much, this one is going to die, then the devil must be fighting with sharks."

Everyone looked at the manta rays that were struggling with the waves and slowly drifting over, and they all stretched out their bamboo poles to this big hook.

This time, he lost part of his pectoral fins and couldn't keep his balance, but he was still able to struggle and swim slowly a few times, and his vitality had not disappeared.

When they reached over to poke it with their hooks, they could still use their pectoral fins to beat the waves and struggle, and everyone was splashed with water, so they couldn't care about wiping it, so they could only continue to hook with their hooks.

Ye Yaodong looked at the fish that was being pushed over and getting closer and closer, thinking that the fins were not easy to hook, they were too slippery, and the whole body was yellow and not slippery, so he hooked it under its stomach.

He tried to hook it several times, but he didn't succeed in hooking it, and he was hooked several times, and he was struggling to break away from it.

"You hook it under its belly and see if it can reach its mouth, and if its pectoral fin does not move, you can also hook its nose ......"

Everyone has hooked nose hooks, hooked mouths, but they are all struggling with its remaining vitality.

Until his arm was sore and he wanted to give up, the long groove in his hand seemed to hook its mouth, causing it to struggle violently and toss, and the bamboo pole in his hand almost fell off.

"I hooked, hooked, it couldn't struggle, hurry up and help pull ......"

"Hooked? Hurry up and ......"

Everyone was excited to help, and the devil who pulled the bamboo pole struggled violently, and the pulling force of hundreds of catties almost pulled them all into the water, but fortunately, everyone gritted their teeth and didn't let the bamboo pole get out of their hands.

When the manta ray was pulled to the side of the fishing boat, Chen Shi also hooked the manta fish's nose with a hook.

While the fishing boat was moving, the devil was dragged along like this, and its remaining vitality was still supporting its struggle, and for a while, they couldn't pull it up, so they couldn't help it, so they could only hook it to sail and keep the tug of sight first.

When time passed, the manta ray's struggle became less and less, and everyone tried to pull and pull hard into the boat.

The bold old boatmen, when the devil was clinging to the hull, all leaned down, one man and two hands picked at its nostrils, and the five of them worked together to pull the two-hundred-pound devil up little by little.

The manta ray still had a little vitality left, and he struggled weakly with his pectoral fins to beat the hull of the boat.

"Hard...... Hard...... It's coming up right away......"

"One-two... Three ......"

"One-two... Three ......"

"It's coming... One or two... Three ......"

The green tendons on everyone's foreheads bulged, and their faces were distorted and pulled a little harder.

Finally pulled part of its head onto the edge of the boat, and then there was a snap, and the hull also shook, and when everyone dodged to the side, some of them were shaken by the shaking hull and some did not stand firmly, and some leaned against the side of the boat to stabilize their bodies.

Everyone watched as its tail was longer than a whip, still swinging there, and its pectoral fins occasionally stirred twice, and as soon as it stabilized its body, it immediately ducked to the side, so as not to be hooked by its tail.

Such a big one, it must be very poisonous, and in the middle of this sea it is called heaven and earth, and the earth is not spiritual, and it will kill people.

"That's too big, isn't it?"

"This one is still small, and the one behind it just came is bigger and more exaggerated, and it makes the sharks stunned."

"It's no wonder that the shark bite just now only bit off part of the fin, if it's a smaller shark, I don't know who eats whom."

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat seaweed, normal, the weak eat the strong."

"It's all alive, it's not over yet......"

"We'll have to wait until it doesn't move before we come forward."

Ye Yaodong also shouted: "Wait until you can't move forward again, that tail is poisonous, and it will be miserable if you accidentally throw it at someone." ”

"Then eat first?"

"Yes, yes, eat first, I haven't eaten yet."

"I almost forgot the fish soup in the pot......"

"It's good that I'm cooking fish soup, otherwise everything will be burnt......"

"Then go and finish cooking the dish first, and then come back after eating to see if the fish is still alive, and then go and cut off its tail when it can't move."

Father Ye was at the helm in the cockpit, controlling the operation of the fishing boat, and kept sticking his head to look at the big manta rays on the deck, itching to get closer, but he couldn't get out.

"Dongzi, Dongzi~"

He called the old man for a long time, and Ye Yaodong reacted to look at the past, and then went to take over his father to drive the boat.

"Deaf? You don't even know how to react, but I'm in a hurry, such a big manta ray has been brought up by you, come on, here for you, I'll take a look......"

Father Ye didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly ran to watch the devil fish like oil on the soles of his feet.

"What's the hurry, the fish are all up, and they can't run."

Ye Yaodong didn't know the situation of the fishing boat behind him, but he just looked at the calm sea in front of him, so he kept moving forward, and continued to go deeper into the sea, and he was faintly looking forward to whether the first net could burst the net.

More than an hour had passed between the time the net was lowered and the manta ray, which had been partially missing from its pectoral fin, and he looked at his watch, and it was about another hour before the net was lifted.

And Father Ye also came to the cockpit after seeing the manta ray.

"Tut-tut, this manta ray is really big, one or two hundred catties for sure, this open wing is half the width of a fishing boat, it's really scary to look at, after so long, the wings can still move twice."

"Enough of it?"

"It's so rare, and I don't know how much it can be sold, but it's a pity that part of the pectoral fin on the body is bitten off, otherwise it would be more valuable, and now it's missing part, and I don't know if it can be sold for a price."

"Or keep it for yourself? I've never eaten a manta ray this big. ”

"What are you kidding?"

Father Ye put away the smile on his face for the first time, and glared at him seriously, "This two-hundred-pound fish, no matter how worthless it is, and then the price drops, there are people who want it, and it is better than the trash fish that no one wants, even if it is sold to the fresh collection boat, how can it be a few cents a catty, right?" How wasteful is it to eat, floating on this sea, and afraid that there will be no fish to eat? ”

"The fish is not worried, but I haven't eaten such a big one, anyway, I have been bitten a large piece of meat, it is not so valuable, it is better for everyone to taste it together, um... Cents a pound ......"

"According to the discount of half of the price of the fresh boat compared to the shore, plus the missing piece of this fish, at most it is six or seven cents, one hundred catties is six or seven yuan, and two hundred catties is twelve or thirteen yuan, what is there to be reluctant to?"

Father Ye gave him a calculation, and he also blinded it, and it was right to think about it, although this fish was big, but half of it was missing, and the discount was certain, plus the fresh ship was originally half to seventy percent lower than the purchase price on the shore, and it was even less valuable.

"That's right...... If you collect it for the fresh boat, it's really much cheaper......"

"Right? Such a big fish is sold for ten yuan, it is better to keep it for a few meals by yourself, and after a while, you may not be able to sell it for ten yuan, and you are ruthless in pressing the price, which is probably worth a few dollars, and you are also a person who has tasted a few hundred catties of manta rays, and it is also a talking point when you return to the village. ”

"I just feel that such a big fish is eaten directly, and I can't eat it a little bit......"

"Then don't eat it, I'll eat it."

Father Ye said angrily: "With your mouth, you can eat everything, you want to eat everything, there is nothing you can't eat." ”

"Life in the world, eating, drinking, Lazar, eating is the first place, anyway, they have been bitten by sharks, fish can eat, there is no reason why people can't eat."

"Put it there and look at it first, and then talk about it when it doesn't move, and wait for you to drag up this net, and see if you can catch one or two in the net?"

"When the net is raised, I will take a look at it when the time comes, and it is not easy to say whether I can get the net, if I can net one or two such big manta rays, it will be worth a lot of money."

The price of fish is different in each season, and the receiving price of the same fish is also fluctuating in different seasons, and I don't know how much money the fresh ship will receive.

Even if there are four or five cents on the shore, and the price of the fresh boat is discounted by half, it will be two or three cents, and if it is two hundred catties, a manta ray is forty or fifty yuan.

Compared with the price on the shore, it is true that he has lost most of the money, but there is no way, the fishing boat cannot directly find the dock to dock to sell fish, and the delay is enough for him to drag several nets.

Father Ye nodded, "I can only ask the Bodhisattva for the blessing, and ask the Mazu for the blessing of dragging two more on the Internet, it will be enough." ”

"How far did Uncle Pei go out before going out to get out of the net?"

Father Ye thought for a while, "I went out to sea with Ah Guang before, and it was almost the same as today, I started to get off the net after three or four hours of driving, and then drove away while trawling, anyway, no matter how far away I didn't run out of the province, two days before I docked, I would go back while trawling." ”

"Oh...... Then continue to follow the harvest number, anyway, it doesn't affect each other, he drags his, I drag mine ......"

"If you don't follow the Harvest, do you still want to drive out and run around by yourself? The wings are not hard yet, you take it slowly, follow the back of your in-laws first, and take a look at it after a year or two, and it is best to follow one ......"

Ye Yaodong shrugged, there was nothing to do.

The two boats work together, and of course it would be good to have one to take care of, that's what he said.

Now such trawlers of their size are also rare, and there are only a few in the town, such a wide sea area, and those few boats enter the sea, which is like rice thrown into the sea.

What's more, the profits of smuggling are so high that many fishing boats have gone on strike to pick up goods on the high seas, and boats are even less visible in the farther seas.

There are fewer honest and diligent fishermen like him.

"Of course I'm happy to follow, reduce the risk, and not be afraid of ......"

"Eat~Eat~"

Father Ye listened carefully outside, "It's time to eat, you go eat first, I'll watch here." ”

"Okay."

I don't need to be humble to be humble, it just took a lot of effort to pull the devil ray up, and his stomach was actually growling with hunger.

Although the old lady cooked rice cakes for him in the morning, which means that the year is getting higher and higher, but he is a strong man, and he is doing physical work, and he will be hungry after three or two clicks.

Everyone set up a small table on the boat, and the table was already full of two dishes and two soups, a bowl of potato and pickle soup, a bowl of sea bass soup, a bowl of boiled shrimp, and a bowl of salted dried fish, all of which were served in large portions in small pots.

Although the first net has not been dragged up, there is still a little fish and shrimp prepared in the morning, and there is no seafood on the table of the seaside people, so it is not called a meal at all.

When eating on the boat, eat the fish head first, which means "a tailwind".

Everyone was waiting for him to come before moving their chopsticks.

Ye Yaodong also went over, picked up the rice bowl and went to the head of the sea bass first, and then beckoned everyone to eat.

The fishing boats swayed, the tables swayed, and their bodies swayed as they ate.

"The fish is still moving......

"It's not easy to eat such a big fish... I almost said the wrong thing......"

"It should be said that such a big fish has a relatively tenacious vitality."

Today is the first day of going to sea, and it is also the first time that this ship has gone to sea, and it is very taboo to say the word dead on the boat, so the manta ray that has been said just now is not moving, and then go and cut off its tail, no one will mention a dead word.

"Hahaha, we are all uneducated, and our speech is a little rough."

"It's too much to say and more wrong, but it's good that I didn't say it, haha, it's better to talk less and do more."

"Let's eat with your mouth, and if you can't speak, talk less."

"When the meal is finished, I guess it's almost time to start the net, right?"

"I'll see the time when I'm done eating."

While eating, everyone looked at the manta fish on the deck from time to time, and discussed with chopsticks pointing at the fish while eating.

"I don't know how much it can be sold for when it's so big, but it's a pity that I was bitten by a shark."

"If we haven't been bitten by a shark, we can't get it, and we don't know where to swim."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "If one or two fishing nets can come up later, and this one is bitten by a shark and loses a piece of meat, let's keep it for the evening to eat, we can't finish eating, and we can continue to eat it tomorrow." ”

"Eat it? Don't sell it? It should be worth a few pieces, but it's a pity to eat it, right? ”

"Haven't you ever eaten anything this big? Try it, it's worth a few dollars, let's drag a net for more than a few dollars. ”

"I don't know if the kitchen knife can cut such a big ......"

"If you go back to the village, some of them will brag about it......"

I went to get the express delivery of the reading gift package in the evening, and I was delayed for a few hours, sorry
