Before the father and son went out and were still chatting there, someone shouted outside that Chen Jiannian had come to see them. The two looked at each other and immediately went out.
They came really quickly. I guess I heard they were back for the first time, so I came right away.
However, Chen Jia Nian didn't talk much when he came over. He smiled and said that when the time comes, they all come from the same place and everyone takes care of each other.
Ye Yaodong didn't respond, so he nodded with a smile and politely asked him to stay with him for dinner. However, he knew that he hadn't eaten when he came back, so he left after chatting for a while.
When they arrived today, they must have known in advance how many boats they had come on this trip. Comparing the two, it happened that Ye Yaodong's side had fewer big boats and more small boats, while their side was full of big boats and the number of people was about the same.
All in all, the two groups are really quite a force, stationed directly in the town.
In order to coexist peacefully, you have to say hello when you come. The essence of everyone is to make more money, and they may have to stick together to resist the rejection of the locals.
As for the large amount of hairtail he brought back today, they didn't keep asking. They probably thought the rumors outside were too exaggerated and didn't take them to heart, not to mention that their goal was jellyfish.
Ye Yaodong didn't specifically tell Chen Jianian that the situation this year might not be that good. It all depends on the situation anyway.
After the meal, the boatmen also started to organize the long lines so that they could continue setting hooks tomorrow. They also continued to work on the materials they added today.
Ye Yaodong thought it would be good to find something for them to do at night, so that they would not have to run around or gather in groups to gamble. Overall, there was too little entertainment.
It's inevitable for everyone to chat when they get together. Other people in the village also come over to ask how much hairtail they sold today. Everyone has heard the news outside and knows that they caught several thousand kilograms of hairtail today.
"How do you fish? How do you catch so many hairtails?
"I watched you do longline fishing yesterday, isn't it enough today? Yesterday I said I found a school of hairtails, but why didn't those hairtails swim away? Isn't it amazing that we can catch so many for you today?"
"Why are those hairtails still in the same place, and they can still catch so many, several thousand kilograms? Don't they have to be taken back and sorted out after being used once?"
"You guys are doing longline fishing again now. Are the schools of hairtail fish still there?"
"Isn't this too strange? Aren't fish schools always moving?"
"Is there a school of hairtail in the trench where you fished for sea urchins?"
"It must be, it must be in the trench, otherwise why would we have caught so many..."
"Lao Pei seems to have said today that he caught several thousand kilograms. You two came in and came out at the same time, so you made all the money."
"Can everyone make this money with you... Now we don't know when the jellyfish season will hit, and the trawl net is much worse than what you make..."
"Your line is full of hooks. Is this the secret to how you can catch so many fish in a day? I saw it yesterday and was still wondering..."
"It's sea urchins and hairtails. You made a fortune as soon as you came here. You don't even have to wait for jellyfish... Let me tell you... Let's make money together..."
…
A bunch of people knew yesterday that they were doing longline fishing and were planning to launch longlines to catch hairtail fish.
They didn't say much, but they were actually complaining in their hearts, saying that they were messing around and that if they had finished fishing, all the fish would have disappeared.
You haven't made any money yet, so you have to spend a lot of money first.
However, after hearing about their harvest in the evening, no one could sit still. After they returned, dozens of people gathered around to inquire.
Father Pei came back ahead of everyone else. They didn't bump into each other when they came back late, and the quantity was not as large as Ye Yaodong's. It didn't cause much shock. On the contrary, the quantity that Ye Yaodong brought back made everyone talk about it, so that they all came to his side.
Came to inquire.
There were dozens of boat workers on his side. Those who went came back to communicate with those who stayed behind, and then people from the village came over to inquire about it, and basically everyone knew about it.
Unexpectedly, fish schools live in ocean trenches. No one has ever been to the trench below. They don’t know how many meters deep or how wide they are. With their limited imagination, they can’t imagine it at all.
After a little discussion, they couldn't help but slap their thighs.
"I didn't expect that there is everything in the trench...it's all at the end..."
"Ouch... we don't even have the ability to go into the water..."
"Damn, Adong has a wide range of skills and can fix anything. Those who came to our village to salvage in the past two years seem to have equipment that can be used in the water. Do you have to have the skills to get it?"
"A Dong knew a lot of people. Didn't he have a good relationship with the leaders who came to our village before? I heard that it was done by them. This is really amazing."
"It turns out that they discovered it when they went into the water yesterday, and then they quickly and slowly started longlining when they came back. That's why they caught so many fish today."
"I said, it turned out to be in the trench, so they threw it directly into it to catch fish, so they caught so many..."
"I'm really getting rich. I can't stop my luck. I can make money with my eyes closed. I'm so cheap... I can still take advantage of this..."
"Yes, yes... How can you find it so accurately without going into the water, and can you accurately place the longline into the trench..."
"It seems we can't make this money anymore...sigh..."
"I was still thinking of coming over and asking if we could follow suit? It seems we can't do it now. We have to wait for the jellyfish's flood season..."
"The jellyfish season is here, so they can't catch it, right? There are jellyfish everywhere, so they can't get into the water, right?"
"Maybe, do you want to go out to trawl the net at night?"
"Are there a lot of jellyfish this year?"
Everyone was discussing there, and finally came to the conclusion that Chen Jianian and others were here today, and they would definitely go to the trench to see the situation early tomorrow morning. The jellyfish that were still scattered now would definitely not be enough to carve up.
If everyone doesn't trawl the net at night and joins in the fun early in the morning, there will definitely be little harvest. It's better to go out and drag the net for another day and take another look the day after tomorrow. At least the harvest of the trawl is real and doesn't have to be shared with others.
As for the hairtail fish that was discussed at the beginning, no matter how envious they were, they could only give up unwillingly. Even what Ye Yaodong added today was only enough to make two more. Everyone would delay for another day and buy the materials to make them tomorrow, and they would probably have to start fishing the day after tomorrow.
Jellyfish stung.
What's more, I don't have the ability to go into the water to do it, and I just asked, and I can't buy the materials, and I can't do anything. Even if others want to get a share of the pie, they can't make the money.
As we talk, we can only regretfully hope that the jellyfish flood season will come soon.
Early the next morning, when Ye Yaodong and the others set out, sure enough, Chen Jianian and the others were also gathering at the pier, and there were many locals around who were pointing and talking at the group.
He just went over to say hello and then took the first step.
However, not long after, all the 20 or so boats behind me started to follow suit. It looked particularly neat and spectacular. It is rare to see so many fishing boats entering and exiting together neatly in a small place.
After he and A Guang arrived at the place, they divided up the scattered jellyfish floating on the sea. Since it was early in the morning, there were not many jellyfish floating, so it was difficult to estimate the situation today.
While the boatmen were carving up the jellyfish, the two of them put on their equipment in advance, then did warm-up exercises, and got into the water as soon as the boat stopped.
When the Chen family arrived, they also released all the longlines.
Ye Yaodong stood on the deck with his whole body wet, looking at the large group of fishing boats in front of him, listening to their whispers, and Chen Jianian couldn't help but ask him why there was so little fish here.
"Because it's not time yet, very few have floated up in the past two days. Our boats have gone out to trawl at night, so you can only see our two boats and two small boats here this morning. If we were here
If there is a lot of cargo, you will see more than just our four ships."
"Since there is no goods, what are you doing here?"
“Sea urchin fishing!”
Chen Jianian also knew that last year they found sea urchins at the bottom. After fishing out all the jellyfish, everyone went out to search for them on the sea. They also fished here for several days.
After he nodded, he also explained it to the fishing boat that was brought out. Although everyone was disappointed, seeing that others did not get an advantage, they could still accept it.
So after a while, most of the group of fishing boats disappeared. Ye Yaodong guessed that they should have gone to trawl, but there were a few that were not willing to give up and still stayed on the nearby sea to see whether the sea urchins they salvaged were real or fake.
What made them even more funny was that after they saw them pulling up several sea urchins in their nets, some people actually followed them and jumped into the water to see how they fished out the sea urchins and to try their luck.
However, the people who went down came up soon, and Ye Yaodong kept watching with cold eyes until the fishing boats finally couldn't help but leave one after another at noon because they didn't have much harvest.
The boatman on the boat said: "But I finally left. I have been here all morning."
"Aren't you afraid that we will deceive them? By the way, let's see how many jellyfish there are that float up most of the day."
"You're already here. You must stay a little longer to check on the situation. After all, they only came yesterday."
"It's okay to leave, it's already noon, should we also collect those long lines? Adong?"
"It's almost the same, just take it."
Yesterday it was also collected around noon, and today there are two more lines, so it may take a little more time.
When Aguang saw that he was beginning to withdraw, he also followed suit.
Today, Ah Guang and the others only sent out a new trawler as usual, and the Harvest was still parked there without moving.
Ye Yaodong didn't understand it when he set off this morning. Obviously they said yesterday that the ship had no fish warehouse, and the goods were all drying on the deck. There were also jellyfish and baskets of longlines. There was almost no place to stay, but today they still didn't put the ship on the boat.
Drive it out.
But now when I see them harvesting with joy, I understand in my heart.
If the Harvest boat is used to collect the goods, the fish harvested will naturally be included in the Harvest boat's income and half of it will be divided out. If they use their own boats to catch the fish, they will naturally own it and do not need to divide it.
He didn't have the Qiqiao exquisite heart, and he didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. He didn't realize it until now.
But it’s human nature to think about it. Who doesn’t want to make more money?
Even he himself brought two extra boats out today to let people catch the jellyfish that emerged from the sea. This was also a way to compete with them.
Moreover, Aguang also helped him go into the water to salvage. Although he had enough manpower and didn't need it, it was still a kindness, and he also wanted to go into the water and take a look at the situation underneath.
After thinking about it, he looked back and only looked at his own gains.
In the afternoon, the group of boats brought by Chen Jianian came over one after another, but what they saw was an empty sea with only four small and large boats.
But they also saw two boats collecting hairtails, and the fishing lines were full of hairtails. The boat on Aguang's side was also full of hairtails. They couldn't hold back the shocked and envious expressions on their faces, and they all came over to watch them collect hairtails.
They also asked about the goods.
After seeing everything, Ye Yaodong sighed in his heart and told them honestly that there were schools of hairtail underneath.
Only then did these people realize that the hairtail fish that had been reported to be sold for several thousand yuan at the pier yesterday evening turned out to be caught here.
While they were watching, some of the boats from the two parties also scattered back, and everyone immediately went around to take a look at the situation.
Father Ye is also back.
"Have these boats been here all day?"
"No, they came out a step later than us in the morning, and then a few boats stayed here until noon before leaving. Now I probably want to come over and take a look at the situation before going back."
"Then we won't go trawling tomorrow. Let's just keep watch here, lest you catch too much here and make people jealous."
"Well, I don't think we can fish for two more days. There are quite a few jellyfish that emerged today..."
Because he brought two small wooden boats out specifically to catch jellyfish, and after Aguang and the others started collecting hairtail fish, they no longer took care of the goods on the sea, and they all took advantage of him.
It may also be because more and more hairtails are being harvested, and the deck is getting fuller and fuller. They also had 10 longlines today, and they replenished half of them last night, which was two less than him.
All the fishing boats that came back one after another did not leave immediately after seeing them collecting hairtail fish. Everyone was curious and shocked that they could collect so many fish with one fishing line. Only after seeing it with their own eyes did they understand that they sell it for thousands of yuan.
It's really not a lie.
What's more, someone jumped into the water again. They were even more shocked when they got into the water. They told everyone that the entire line under the water was full. They had never seen such a high hook rate.
.
Everyone couldn't see Ye Yaodong's total harvest, because he carried the basket to the fish barn after it was full. They could only see the piles on A Guang's deck.
After Ye Yaodong came back, he also asked his father to help collect other longlines at the same time. The two boats could collect at the same time, so the speed could be faster.
Until all the longlines were harvested, everyone still had more to say.
"Finished? Is it gone?"
"With so much, if a boat is full, can it be sold for several thousand more?"
"Originally, I came out to catch jellyfish to make money, but I didn't make any money from the jellyfish. I just watched you make money from the hairtail..."
"That's right, that's right, can we make a few lines tomorrow and try our luck..."
"I'm afraid I won't be so lucky. The sea surface is quite wide. Who knows how wide and long the trench underneath is. You can't see anything when you first get into the water, and you can't go down too deep, so you can only come up..."
Ye Yaodong finished the harvest one step ahead of A Guang. There were more than a dozen fishing boats around them watching, and he was always paying attention.
Ignoring the comments of other fishing boats around him, he moved the boat closer to A Guang.
"I've finished collecting it here, are you almost there?"
"It's about to go back with me. It's already 3 o'clock. Why don't you catch more sea urchins? It's still early before the sun goes down."
"No, go back early and sell the hairtail first, then remit the money before the bank closes."
Seeing so many fishing boats on the sea gathered around to watch, and the number would gradually increase as the sun set in the west, Ye Yaodong didn't want to stay any longer to salvage sea urchins, so he took these hairtails back and sold them first.
At this time, there are fewer local fishing boats docking, and there are not so many people at the pier, so go back and sell them early.
Father Ye thought the same way. The quantity was too much and so many people were watching. It would be better to go back and sell it as soon as possible and remit the money.
"With so many people watching, I don't know if it will be done tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong reassured: "There are many of us, so we are not afraid. What's more, everyone is waiting for the jellyfish to bloom and make a lot of money. Now we look at it with envy at most."
"That's true. There is a lot of jellyfish money hanging there. Now they will just look at it with envy and don't dare to use their brains."
"To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's go back early. We've caught so many of them anyway. Dad is going to drag all those boats over and tie them to the back of my boat. I'll use my boat to pull them faster later."
"good."
A Guang also urged the people on the boat to move faster.
"I only have the last line left. There are too many, so the collection is a little slow. It will be ready soon."
They were all busy finishing up there.
After they were done, when they all started to move, the other fishing boats saw that there was nothing to see, so they followed behind and went back together.
It was only 4 o'clock when they docked, and the sun was still blazing in the sky. Some of the small boats along the coast were dark, and most of them were floating on the sea.
However, after they moved all the goods ashore one after another, it caused a sensation again. Fortunately, it was too hot at this time and there were few locals on the shore. The sensation was basically a group of outsiders like them.
The quantity was too much, and a small purchaser had to piece together everything to get the money to barely be able to eat so much of his goods. Fortunately, he didn't sell the goods to the same family as Pei's father yesterday, otherwise, one store would still be able to eat them.
I really can't eat that much.
There were two more longlines today, and he caught more fish. After weighing, it weighed 7,310 kilograms. The surface was not so good, but it also weighed 540 kilograms. Even the sea urchins were a little less, but they still weighed 3,912 kilograms.
He kept 100 kilograms that were not very good on the surface and sold the rest.
Sea urchin sold for 782.4, and hairtail sold for a total of 3765.
After counting all the money, a total of 4547.4, he put it in the cloth bag he had prepared in advance, held it tightly in his hand, and hugged it in his arms.
A bunch of people outside stretched their necks to look inside, wanting to know how much he sold it for, and they gathered around in a noisy manner.
He ignored it and instead asked people to step aside while they also weighed the trawl cargo and jellyfish.
These goods are smaller and can be weighed quickly. The trawler also sold for 35.68 yuan. I caught a lot of jellyfish in the afternoon and even sold for 75.77 yuan.
After collecting this part of the money, he went to Aguang's side surrounded by dozens of boatmen. They had already sold out the goods first and were walking towards him.
As soon as dozens of people gathered together, they headed to the rental house in a mighty manner.
The people around me didn't dare to come close after seeing it. They only dared to whisper to the side, all talking about how they fished and how they were able to catch so many hairtails for two days in a row.
Father Ye felt relieved and said as he walked quickly: "Fortunately, there are many of us..."
Father Pei also nodded and said: "Yes, if there are only two or three people, it might be chaotic."
"The place is too small and there are too many goods. If it were placed in a city or province, where large ships often dock, it would be nothing."
"Hold on for a day or two."
"Dongzi, are there many more down there?"
"Today I see some empty black gaps. I don't know what it will be like tomorrow."
"It's not easy to make money under everyone's nose..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the rental house right in front of him and said to everyone: "I'm going to the post and telecommunications office later to transfer money. You can all go together. By the way, I'll call home to report that I'm safe. The phone bill will be mine. I'll get some money when I get back."
.”
"That's good. I've been here for three or four days and I haven't even called back."
"Then we'll wait at the door."
A Guang also said: "Dongzi, wait for me."
"OK."
While Ye Yaodong was waiting, he divided half of the 100 kilograms of hairtail he had brought back to people in his village, and took another 40 kilograms to be sent to Chen Jiannian. He still had to do something to save face.
It’s enough to keep 10 pounds at home, after all, there are other fish products to keep back.
They just came back and went out again. There was a huge crowd coming in and out, and they were particularly eye-catching on the road.
Entering the post and telecommunications office, the people at the bank were all nervous. They all stood up and looked at them warily. It was not until Ye Yaodong put a bag of money on the counter and said that he wanted to make a wire transfer that they all breathed a sigh of relief.
And a large group of people had no place to sit, so they all sat on the ground and queued up to make calls.
Such a large group of people came in and almost scared people to death, and the attitude of the people in the bank became extremely good.
Ye Yaodong looked at the staff opposite, their hands were shaking a little, and his face was smiling. Everyone was still wearing hats. If they took off their hats collectively, wouldn't they be so scared that they would pee on the spot?
Fortunately, everyone knows that their bald heads can scare people, so they always wear straw hats when entering and exiting.
When the remittance was completed, he also ran to call Ah Qing to inform him.
Today he earned more than 4,600 yuan. Yesterday plus the day before yesterday, he earned more than 5,300 yuan. In total, he earned more than 9,900 yuan in the three days. He added a dozen yuan of his own to make up the round number of 10,000 yuan.
When he set out, Ah Qing also gave him a thousand to spend on things when he didn't make any money. In addition to renting a house, he didn't have to spend any money on food and drink, and he brought everything himself.
I have been making money since I came here, and now I have enough to keep a few hundred yuan with me. Anyway, I can keep making money in the future.
In line with the principle of his paying, if you don't call, the call will be in vain. Everyone waits there, calling one by one, until the bank is about to close, and the others who haven't had their turn can only go out regretfully.
However, Ye Yaodong also promised that when remitting money in a few days, those who did not call today will be given priority. Anyway, he will reimburse everything, and everyone came out of the post office with a smile on their face.
With no money left, he felt at ease and everyone went home to eat easily.
However, when they returned to the rental house, they heard other people say that some villagers also bought materials and did longline fishing there, but the quantity was not large.
Ye Yaodong didn't take it seriously. One step was too late, and every step was too late. What he did now would only be in vain.
He himself was not sure whether there would be more jellyfish tomorrow. After all, the number of jellyfish floating up today was quite a lot. It had doubled compared to the previous day. Especially in the afternoon, they floated up more frequently, so he could see the hairtail fish underneath.
The swarms are no longer so dense, and the trench is exposed.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter who wants to follow the trend."
"Dongzi, just leave two people here to guard you tomorrow. Let's take the others out to sea early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, I know. Let's take a shower and eat first. We still have to work after eating."
While they were eating, Chen Jianian came over to reminisce about old times. In fact, he came to ask where he bought his equipment, and said that they had traveled all over the town before dark and couldn't find any.
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
"Don't think about it. We, Adong, only got the equipment if we had connections. We don't have to buy it from outside."
"Yeah, I didn't see that only A Dong is here. The official he knows is very powerful."
"Yes, he is very familiar with the leader..."
The boatmen all boasted about him in all kinds of ways, bluffing Chen Jiannian and the visitors to the point of being stunned.
Ye Yaodong also looked embarrassed when he heard everyone's compliments. He could only remain silent and quickly went to take a shower, letting everyone brag as he pleased.
Anyway, when he goes out, his identity is given to him by himself. Now he has someone to help him blow, so it’s better if he blows more powerfully...
When he came out after taking a shower, Chen Jianian's figure had disappeared, and all the people in his village gathered around him to chat. Just like the previous two nights, the locals thought they were holding a meeting at the door.
Ye Yaodong ignored other people's comments and just enjoyed the cool air with peace of mind.
After all the longlines were packed and brought to the house, he also went back to the house to sleep.
But what he didn't expect was that the next day there were rumors in the town that they had official backgrounds...
Chapter completed!
