Ye Yaodong took advantage of Ye's father's break at home and went to sea with Uncle Zheng for two consecutive days at night before returning. He also mastered the skills of the radar network on the ship.
At the same time, other fishing boats also took a few people to learn from the sea during the two days of rest.
After everyone discussed it, we decided to take a short rest before heading out to sea together.
However, when he got up and opened the door and went out, he felt that there was something wrong with the wind today, as if it was a bit like a typhoon.
He asked casually and found out that there was really another typhoon. This morning, many fishing boats had returned to port to rest, and they could no longer go to sea as planned.
Ye Yaodong looked at the big sun in the sky again and had to give up. He had to wait for the typhoon to pass before he could go to sea.
Afraid that the typhoon would last for several days, he sent people out to cut firewood, bought some briquettes himself, and brought back more fruits, vegetables and meat.
However, he got up a little late. All the stalls at the entrance of the farmers' market in the morning market were cleared out, leaving only rotten vegetable leaves on the ground, not to mention meat, nothing left.
Usually when he goes to the market at 8 o'clock, there are still a lot of vegetables at the market, so he can pick whatever he wants. The vegetable farmers from the countryside basically don't sell out until noon.
It's really an exaggeration today.
He had to go back first and tell his father to get up early and buy more tomorrow.
This morning his father also went out to buy things as usual, but he felt that he needed to be more prepared in case of a typhoon, so he went out again.
On the road, he saw people gathering around to buy things. He wanted to go up there to see what was on sale and buy something he could eat.
It turned out that it was selling coarse salt, and it had been scraped off by the masses.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... It's so exaggerated, I even have to grab the salt..."
"Everything sells well during typhoon days..."
Ye Yaodong stretched his neck and took a look, and after clicking his tongue twice, he had no choice but to go back empty-handed.
The fishermen from other boats were playing cards in the open space in front of their houses when they had nothing to do. They were also talking about the typhoon and everyone was there to buy things.
What I would not be willing to buy at ordinary times would be willing to buy it even during a typhoon.
There was just a sign of it today, and even before it started to rain or wind, the food was being snatched away.
Everyone says that city people are afraid that they won’t be able to buy things if they have money.
This typhoon probably just passed by. The sun was shining brightly for four or five days in a row. Not to mention the rain, there was not even much wind. The traces of the typhoon can only be seen every evening when the sunset glows red on the horizon.
Ye Yaodong goes to the pier every day to check the wind and waves and the situation of fishing boats.
Basically, all the fishing boats have returned to the port. The pier is divided into areas, with tens of thousands of large and small fishing boats docked. It has been almost half a month since he came here. This is the first time he has seen so many boats and such an empty space.
pier.
Empty is only a relative term. In fact, people are still coming and going. Everyone is saying that the typhoon has passed, cheering and heading to Xiaoli. They will probably go to sea at night or early in the morning.
It's still only morning, and by noon, there will be loudspeakers on the pier announcing that the typhoon has passed.
The dock immediately came to life, and everyone was busy there refueling and adding ice, preparing to go to sea immediately.
Most of them are fishing boats from outside, and a day without going out is a day's loss.
After hearing the news, Ye Yaodong also joined everyone in queuing up for gas and ice.
He made a reservation to set off after dinner, just in time to avoid the peak hours of going out to sea in the afternoon, night, and early the next morning.
After refueling and adding ice in the afternoon, he saw chaos on the sea.
Most of the fishing boats immediately went out in a swarm. Thousands of fishing boats were moving. Collisions would inevitably occur. The order on the sea was disrupted. Several accidents occurred, and the whole sea was in chaos.
Just like there was a traffic jam on land, there was also a traffic jam on the sea and it was paralyzed for a long time.
He was thankful that he was not impatient.
This continued until it got dark, and the fishing boats on the sea left the port one after another, and order returned to the past.
While having dinner, he heard that there were many gunshots on the sea throughout the afternoon.
Father Ye and others, who had just returned from docking in the past few days, refreshed their understanding of the chaos at the dock and repositioned themselves.
However, no matter how they avoided it, there were still a lot of people when they set off, so they could only line up one after another and slowly drive away from the shore.
Fortunately, after the chaotic time in the afternoon, it only took a little longer, and a few fishing boats went out smoothly.
Ye Yaodong followed the Harvest in his fishing boat, as did several other boats.
Father Ye had already discussed with Father Pei that this time Father Ye would stay at home and let Ye Yaodong come out, and then Father Pei would drive the Harvest and take several other boats.
I’ll change Father Ye next time.
The two old men take turns, and one of them must be at sea, so that they can feel at ease. After all, they are in a strange place and unfamiliar waters.
After these few days, the two of them have more experience, so taking turns and going to sea are relatively safer.
Ye Yaodong also brought the big trawl net with him when he went to sea this time.
They will definitely not go back the same day they come out. If the harvest of the radar net is not satisfactory, they can still turn around and trawl the net, and they will not have to go back to the sea or have to return.
After all, it is true that it is not yet the flood season for hairtail fish, and it is still early.
While he was sailing at sea, the boatmen were also sorting out the fishing nets so that they could lay them directly when they arrived at the destination.
They had no experience in which area of ​​the sea had more fish, and there were no detectors on the boat. They could only drive out a little further along the location where Uncle Zheng and his fishing boat usually fished, but it was also within the offshore area.
Because generally hairtail fish live in water depths of 50 to 100 meters. Although they are not considered deep-sea fish, they still have some habits of deep-sea fish.
When the hairtail is quickly caught and landed, the external air pressure becomes smaller, but the internal pressure is still very high.
Extreme pressure differences will cause oxygen, nitrogen, etc. in the organs and tissues of the hairtail to be precipitated from the blood, blocking blood circulation and even causing the organs to burst, causing the hairtail to die (commonly known as "decompression sickness").
Therefore, you will see a lot of hairtail fish on the market with their internal organs exploded.
Several fishing boats kept moving forward, and the flashing lights of fishing boats could be seen everywhere along the way.
It wasn't until they saw a fishing boat nearby using a radar net to catch hairtail fish that they made a plan, separated, and fished in the nearby area first.
Thanks to the rich resources nearby, they could see fishing boats intermittently along the way, and multiple fishing boats in the same sea area did not affect the fishing.
Ye Yaodong found a good position, slowed down, and then notified the boatmen to lower the net.
They took turns learning from Chu Hai for half a month, and they all knew how to do it.
He also stood on the deck and watched the fishing net that had been arranged in advance. Under the weak orange light, it was released from the side of the ship, and the buoys and floats were released at the same time, so that the net gradually unfolded and sank to the predetermined depth.
There is a big iron cat at the bottom of the fishing net fixed on the seabed. One end is connected to the iron cat and the other end is connected to the fishing net. There is a 360-degree rotating component connected to it. There is also a float on it. The net gear will rotate according to the current.
After all the nets were lowered, Ye Yaodong returned to the cab and controlled the fishing boat to move slowly and steadily in a circular motion, simulating a radar scan.
The purpose of this is also to make the fishing net form a gradually expanding circular or spiral surrounding circle in the water, thereby driving and concentrating fish into the fishing net.
It is also called raising the sail and raising the net. After the water rises, the fish bags are collected and filled with fish, and then put back into the sea. When the tide is out, the net is raised again and the fish are filled, and then put back into the sea.
This cycle starts over and over again, with four tides in a day, rising and setting in the sun, and rising and setting in the night.
This fishing method is very rare, and the specific operation depends on the experience and technology of the fishermen. It can only be used specifically for hairtail, and only the hairtail with the thickest meat can be caught.
Moreover, the caught hairtails are basically small-eyed hairtails, which can also be called oily hairtails. They are fat, oily and tender, so they are a little more expensive than other hairtails.
The boatmen had just come out and it was not yet time to go to bed. They all stood on the deck curiously and chatted.
After this wave of workers arrived, they stayed on the shore with Ye Yaodong. Some of them only went to sea with the fresh harvest ship to collect a wave of goods, and they did not release the net for a long time.
Everyone was not sleepy at this time and watched and talked and laughed.
"You don't have to go too far here, there are a lot of goods just offshore..."
"There are a lot of ships, and they are all concentrated. We are in the same sea area, and we can't see a single ship at a glance. Here, they can see five or six light spots at a glance, and when they look again, there are five or six new ones...
"
"Otherwise, how can we call it a fishing ground? I have never seen so many boats in my life..."
"That's true..."
“I don’t know how many hairtails I can harvest.”
"...A lot of little whitebait are jumping there...even the little fish seem to be more numerous than ours..."
Everyone also stretched their necks and looked out of the boat. Wherever the light on the boat shone, there were a bunch of silvery-white fish jumping there.
Ye Yaodong watched a group of people talking and laughing on the deck, while he only focused on driving the boat in a similar circular motion.
This time they went out to sea, it took them an hour to get down to the net, and it was only about two hours until the tide went out.
He waited until more than two hours later and felt based on experience that the tide was almost low before he notified everyone to set up the net.
Everyone also knew that the net should be raised and released when the tide ebbs and flows, so they all waited on the deck.
It just so happens that this net is put away, and those who should go to rest can go to rest.
Ye Yaodong stopped the rotation of the fishing boat, kept the position stable, and began to slowly lift the fishing net.
As the bottom of the net gradually rises, the fish in the fishing net fall into the fish collection bag and slowly float up from the bottom of the water.
"Oh...it's up...it's quite a lot. It's only been two hours and it's already weighing several thousand kilograms."
"They are all hairtails, and there are some small yellow croakers and miscellaneous fish. This net has four to five thousand kilograms, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I've watched it many times, and I find it beautiful every time..."
"It's so beautiful. These hairtail fish are shining silver when they come out of the water."
"Yes, the scales are really beautiful, some even glow blue..."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy to see the hoisted fishing net. The harvest was really quite big, and most of them were big fish and small yellow croakers. They were all good goods.
Although the radar net is said to be specially designed to catch hairtail, it does not necessarily mean that only hairtail will be caught in the fishing net, and other miscellaneous fish will also be caught in the net.
These harvested hairtail fish are all silvery white, and some of their scales have a slight blue light, with a bit of metallic sheen.
It is much more beautiful than the dead one on the shore.
Moreover, some people in the fishing nets could still struggle and move, but when the fishing nets were moved to the deck, they were all dead.
At this time, the boatmen also started to move, adjusting the nets to further reduce the space, so that the fish could gather together more closely.
Then pull the fish bags and transfer them to the deck.
After untying the rope at the door, a whole net of hairtail fish and small yellow croakers tilted onto the deck.
Ye Yaodong was on the steering wheel watching the fishing nets being brought up. He also went down to take a look and said with a smile: "This net is full of gold and silver."
"Huh? You're really right, this is yellow and silver..."
This network is really worthy of its name, one network is gold and the other is silver, which is in line with the song of fishing nets.
The gold one is the shining color of the small yellow croaker, and the silver one is the silvery-white light reflected from the scales of the hairtail fish.
It's really beautiful.
The smell of fresh fish also hits your nostrils.
The fishing ground in Zhoushi is indeed dominated by the four major economic fishes. On the net, there are fewer small yellow croakers than hairtails, and there are very few groceries.
Usually, if you drag a net of useless groceries at home, more than half of them will be taken up. If you are lucky, half of them will be there. But here, there will be more of these items.
No wonder the other three major economic fish species will no longer have a flood season, and the large yellow croaker is almost extinct. Only the hairtail can survive due to its habits, long-term publicity and fishing moratoriums, and the fishing season has been preserved.
Ye Yaodong visually estimated that the goods coming from this net should be about 3,000 kilograms. The quantity of this net is not large, but it is still a good harvest.
Hairtails account for the majority, small yellow croakers are slightly less, and there are also some pomfret and eels, but there are not many groceries.
Although it can't compare with the amount caught by trawling, after all, it is making a circular motion rather than sailing and dragging on the sea surface, but the quality of the fish is much better than that of trawling.
He held a flashlight in one hand and picked and scratched with the other.
"Radar net hairtail" is much "uglier" than other hairtails, such as fishing tapes, because hairtails are impatient and will struggle violently once caught.
As a result, the body surface is easily "skinned off" and scales fall off.
However, the "uglier" hairtail fish may be more delicious, and the white fish that falls off is also proof of their vitality.
However, when buying fish, most people must choose fish that look beautiful and are in good condition. Hairtails that have their skin peeled off or those with a burst belly will not fetch a good price.
"The skin has been peeled off and the belly has exploded. You guys have to pick it up."
"I know, there are so many hairtails at night, much more than during the day, so let's continue setting the net."
Ye Yaodong nodded and put down the net first, then those who should rest would go to rest, and the remaining people who should pick and choose would continue to pick.
There are two high tides and two low tides in a day. The radar net is different from the trawl net. It only needs to be raised and released four times a day.
He didn't understand the principle, and Uncle Zheng couldn't tell clearly. Anyway, this was how the locals did it, and they would do it too after learning it.
When the next high tide came and it was dawn, the number of this net was even greater, twice that of the previous one. Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
I was a little tired after picking fish for several hours, but now I feel energetic again.
"There are so many products online..."
"This website has been in operation for a long time, so naturally there are more goods..."
"It's been a good harvest. Our ship is big, and the fishing nets we made are also big, much more than Lao Zheng's..."
"It's daybreak. I'll wake up the others and help soon..."
Ye Yaodong also looked at it excitedly. There were so many horses without waiting for the flood season.
In my previous life, I saw some boats that specialized in catching hairtail, and that was the only way he was able to catch hairtail during the flood season.
He sighed, "As expected, resources are good these days, and the grand occasion in the future will not be as good as the current normal times. We will just pick up what we don't need these days."
After sighing, he went down and replaced Chen Laoqi, who came up for a shift and asked him to control the fishing boat. It happened that the two nets took one shift, and he would go to bed later.
However, seeing the armor full of goods, he was reluctant to go back to the warehouse now and had to help.
"How much does this net cost? There are so many, it took two fish collection bags to be hoisted before all the goods were released."
"I saw there were five or six thousand, they were like hills, much more than the first network..."
"No wonder they have to set up a net like this to catch hairtail fish. They all look oily."
Their dialect is called Youdai, which is equivalent to the radar net hairtail here. The names are different, but they are all the same kind of hairtail.
Hairtails are divided into black scales and white scales. Hairtails with white scales are rich in oil and delicious, while hairtails with black scales have a much worse taste.
Hairtail fish with white scales can be divided into multiple grades. The highest grade is the radar net hairtail fish, which they call oil belt.
The eyes of this kind of hairtail are smaller than ordinary hairtail, so the locals here also call it small-eyed hairtail. It is fatter than ordinary hairtail.
Ye Yaodong picked through it and said, "While it's fresh, I'll fry a few strips later, just right for breakfast."
"It's already fried. You can eat it after the porridge cools down."
"I just ate a piece. The meat is very thick and bigger than the pork belly we have. It's very fresh and tender."
Ye Yaodong was told that he was hungry. They were all bored down there, cooking a pot of seafood and chatting while eating, but he didn't even have time to go get it.
"I'm going to eat first."
I can’t say this about anything else on the ship, but the food is really good. As long as you catch seafood, you can cook whatever you want, no need to worry about the value, except for the particularly expensive goodies.
Ordinary workers also have a sense of propriety, what can be eaten and what should be sold for money.
After Ye Yaodong filled his stomach, he stretched a bit and watched the sun come out from behind the clouds, so he left the work to others and went to rest himself.
He didn't wake up until the next time the net was lifted.
However, the number of goods received during the day is not as much as that of the second network. Although they are still placed in the sea and collected at about the same time, the volume of goods is only about 2/3, and the decrease is mainly hairtail.
The main habit of hairtail fish is to be active at night, constantly traveling back and forth between the deep water layer and the shallow water layer on a day and night basis.
Therefore, night is a good time to catch hairtail, as they are all in shallow water and more active.
There are also some treatments for the goods that come in during the day and at night, but they are mainly small yellow croakers, as well as some pomfret, eels, herring, water fish, balang fish, etc.
No one is too disappointed. Anyway, they all know it after experience.
But the harvest from this net is not low, with small yellow croakers accounting for half of it. If we sort out the useless groceries and throw them away, we can still have 3,000 kilograms left that can be sold for money.
After Ye Yaodong took a look at the online goods collected at noon, he went up to the cockpit and asked Chen Laoqi.
“Have you asked about the receipt status of other fishing nets?”
"Haha, they asked us this morning. Everyone was fine. They all said there was a lot of goods and they didn't plan to move."
"That's good. It's just in this area. You won't have to travel too far. It should only take three hours to get back."
Chen Laoqi hesitated for a moment and said: "You said there is no need to go far now. Will they sell goods on their own? After all, it is more convenient. The distance is not too far now, and there are a lot of goods caught. If we go back, we can
It might be cheaper to sell.”
Ye Yaodong thought about it and realized that it was indeed very possible.
"Wait until they bring it up. If they don't bring it up, don't worry about it."
"Haha, I just thought of this, so I said it."
"Thank you. Let's go eat and rest. I'll take care of it."
Ye Yaodong entered the cockpit and took over the circular motion, thinking about it in his mind.
After a little calculation, the harvest of these few nets will probably have to go down when the sun sets for the next net, and it may be very different from the harvest of this net.
This is equivalent to the ebb and flow of the tide for a whole day. After 4 times, the profit for the day may be 1,670 or 1,78 yuan per boat, which is better than the profit of trawling for a day and a half.
The quantity is not comparable, mainly because the goods obtained are valuable.
If he takes half of it, it is equivalent to taking away nearly 1,780 yuan from the fresh harvest ship. It is really not cost-effective for them. It is better to sell goods at the shore once every two days, and then come out again.
The cost of gas for a round trip is at most two hundred yuan, plus the half-day delay is not as much as what was taken away, so it is indeed worth returning to sell goods.
In the past, when trawling, the harvest boat would only draw a thousand yuan for a trip, but now it is equivalent to hundreds of yuan more for nothing.
If it were him, he would rather rely on selling goods, not to mention whether he is a relative or not, a brother or not, he is taking risks to make money, and of course he wants to keep the money in his own pocket.
Ye Yaodong thought that he would have to discuss the ratio with other ships, a ratio that would be good for everyone.
His harvest boat will not be idle by then, and everyone can make more money by staying at sea while the weather is nice.
The main reason is that when the flood season comes, if you can earn so much now, not to mention when the flood season is more concentrated, you will definitely earn more than you do now.
But no one mentioned it now. He was thinking that his father would sail out to receive the goods the day after tomorrow. At that time, the ship would be left to his father for the time being and he would weigh the goods.
By the way, I also chatted with a few boats and changed the proportions.
There must be an idea, and no one is a fool. It’s just that I either haven’t reacted to it now, or I am embarrassed to say it. I will definitely mention it when I receive the goods.
Rather than letting others mention it, it is better to be knowledgeable and take the initiative to mention it yourself.
His fresh-harvesting boat itself is indeed much more convenient than other people's fresh-harvesting boats.
The ships docked by other fresh-harvest ships may not all go to sea at the same time, nor may they all sell goods at about the same time, let alone be in almost the same sea area.
There's a big difference here.
There are 6 ships docked, and maybe only three or four ships went out to sea that day. The time of receiving the goods is not certain, but his ship is not as profitable.
It is better to give up more profits when it is time to give up more benefits. Only by achieving a win-win situation can we achieve better cooperation.
After thinking about it clearly and having the charter, he felt a little more relieved.
He even thought about it. When the harvest is more during the flood season, he will help several ships collect goods in one trip and how much money they will pay to the fresh ships.
Whatever they earn belongs to their fishing boat, as long as they give him a commission, it's mainly a win-win situation for both parties.
He thought so and took the initiative to mention it the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Father Pei contacted him the next day and talked about the same thing.
It's really good.
He also really admired Uncle Pei from the bottom of his heart. Only those who are smart will not suffer losses, can maximize their own interests, and can save their current wealth.
However, his behavior is understandable. Who would lose money just to let others make money?
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
It would be better if I didn't talk to him first thing in the day.
"Ah Dong, haha, how are you receiving the goods these two days?"
As soon as Ye Yaodong heard his opening remarks, he understood what Father Pei wanted to talk to him about.
"The goods received are very good. Uncle Zheng's radar network really did not fool us, and it was not in vain for him to call us here. It is indeed easy to make money."
"Yes, he encouraged me too and has been calling for two years. But I'm worried that it's too chaotic here. There are only a few boats and there's no insurance. It's better to make money safely at home."
"Yes, if you have money to earn, you have to have life to spend it. No matter how much money you have, it is not as important as peace and security."
"Yes, Ping An makes money. Ping An is in front, and making money is behind. It's also good luck. There are many people in our village this time, and everyone has more help, so everyone can follow and make money."
"Yes."
"Everyone comes here to take big risks just to make more money. Now that there are more goods, we can earn twice as much as our families every day. Everyone is happy. When the flood season comes, it will be even more..."
"Um!"
"This flood season can last for three months, which is very impressive. Not to mention the benefits then... We are not outsiders. If I have something to say, I will say it directly..."
When Ye Yaodong heard that he had made so many turns, he felt that it was a waste of time for him, and he took the initiative to say: "Uncle, I want to talk about the fresh ship coming to collect the goods tomorrow, right?"
"Oh? What do you want to say? According to the original agreement, the fresh-picking ship will come to collect goods every two days. It will indeed come out to collect a wave of goods tomorrow and replenish a wave of supplies for everyone."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, pretending!
She obviously wanted to say this, but she was still waiting for him to say it.
If you are smart, you are smart, you have to pretend.
It's better for A Guang. Fortunately, this shrewd guy has almost retired, and A Guang will make the decision in the future.
He said directly: "I originally thought that if the fresh goods ship came to collect the goods the day after tomorrow, I would talk to everyone at that time and adjust the proportion."
"After all, we are closer to the shore now, and there are more goods. It is not cost-effective for you to continue as before. It is indeed me who takes advantage..."
"What should I say about this matter? It should be mutually beneficial, so after I saw the delivery yesterday, I thought that we should talk again. It just so happens that Uncle is calling now... No, it just so happens that Uncle is talking about it now, so let's talk about it first
Let’s talk.”
Father Pei smiled and said, "Then let's talk..."
Ps: It’s the end of the month. The monthly votes have expired if you don’t vote anymore. Now they are doubled. Please give me monthly votes. Please give me monthly votes. Please give me monthly votes.
At the end of the month and the beginning of the month, we cooperated with the official double event and set a vote-seeking target of 28,000. Once achieved, three chapters will be added.
Let me explain again, in conjunction with the National Day activities, there will be a one-month pass to unlock additional activities on the 1st.
I haven't written it out yet. When I do, I'll see if Qidian will release it in advance on the 30th.
If you don’t have a monthly pass, you can join the group to watch the extras, or I can save it in advance and wait for the event to open a free chapter and release it. (I have learned from experience)
Chapter completed!
