Anyway, he first advertised his fresh-picking ship.
He knows that the benefits from fishing in Shopee are also huge. The fishing grounds here are really rich in resources, not only the four major economic fish, but also other fishing seasons that change throughout the year, and there are also many.
His fresh-picking boat, except for picking up goods every two days, is docked at the dock at other times. It would be better if he could get some more business.
He should treat this as a dead horse and a live doctor. Anyway, he doesn't need to cost anything, and he doesn't need to lose anything, just a few words.
But if he just comes here and there are no fresh boats to collect, or if he can't collect them, wouldn't that be his chance?
It would be best to have an opportunity for a face-to-face interview. If he directly shows the certificate of the vice president of the Vancouver Fisheries Association to several other captains, his credibility will be higher.
It just so happened that they were also from Wenzhou City, so he represented the official government, so he naturally gained trust.
Ordinary fishing boats don't dare to find strange fishing boats for fear of losing both people and money. He has an official certificate. This is his proof. It is much better than just looking for it outside.
During the flood season, their ship must have been the same as his ship. It could not dock without docking, and the profit would be higher if it continued to salvage at sea.
After asking for the exact information, the fleet accelerated and ran forward again.
When Ye Yaodong heard the VHF chirping sound, he turned it off first and watched the other person go away.
Then he walked out of the cabin and shouted to the people below: "Get ready to lower the net."
"Boss, are they approaching and asking for directions?"
"Yes, a fleet from a small town in Vancouver came here to catch shrimps."
"Ah, yes, before the typhoon, I saw quite a lot of fresh dried shrimps on the pier."
"There will be more in the future, and it's the flood season."
"It's so easy to make money here... Fishing boats come from everywhere..."
"After we dock, let's buy some fresh dried shrimps to eat. We used to eat dried shrimps at home..."
Ye Yaodong didn't answer any more. Seeing that the fishing net had been put down, he returned to the cockpit and continued his boring work.
In the past few days since they came out, the amount of hairtail fish caught has been increasing every day, and their profits have become more and more impressive.
Relatively, the risk has also been reduced, because the number of hairtails is large, and other fish species have returned to the deep sea due to the cooler weather, and some are not active enough, so the number has become smaller.
When his father came to pick up the goods, he said that the time spent setting up stalls on the pier has been reduced and he can sell out earlier. After all, the hairtail is sent directly to the factory.
Recently, the number of boats fishing for hairtail has also increased, and the cargo has increased. Relatively speaking, other grocery fish and shrimps have decreased, and the supply exceeds demand, so naturally they are easier to sell.
After the National Day, the weather got colder, and they spent much longer time at sea. Ye Yaodong stayed on this trip for a full 12 days before returning, during which time he was on the fresh-carrying ship to receive goods.
Half of the crew members on their ship are from the grass-roots team, and some are still very young. They cannot stand being at sea for too long, and even 12 days is almost the limit.
The same goes for the people on other boats, who are all holding on and cheering after being informed that they will return.
You need to make money, but you also need to rest.
He also thought that during this period, he could do more long-term fishing at sea and train crew members.
Otherwise, when the renovation of his cargo ship is completed, it will not be a few days at sea, but months at sea for a long time.
If there were no typhoons or strong winds and waves, we would definitely not come back. Such a big boat would be a killer for fishing at sea, and the profits would be huge every day.
(My cousin has such a big fishing boat. He specializes in fishing in the waters around D. I heard him talk about it at dinner two days ago. His boat was bought second-hand for about 3 million yuan. There are no shareholders.
He alone owns it.)
(There are 14 workers on his ship. Not to mention other things, the monthly expenses for the workers alone are over hundreds of thousands. He went out on August 1st after the fishing moratorium ended, and did not come back until a few days before National Day because of a typhoon.)
(In two months, he sold his boat for more than 1 million yuan. After deducting expenses, he could probably earn more than 1 million yuan...)
(Ah ah ah, I really make money.)
(But when you lose money, you also lose a lot of money. The money-makers are my younger cousin and an older cousin, who lost more than 1 million in two years.)
After the four boats decided to return, they chatted on the VHF and calculated the time to pull up the net. Ye Yaodong expected to arrive at the port just after dark, which was still afternoon.
It was time to go back, and the boatmen cheered up and hurriedly distributed the goods.
Only when the fishing boat was halfway along, Ye Yaodong saw a dolphin and heard the loud dolphin sound intermittently.
He quickly asked other people in the channel if they had seen or listened to the sermon.
By the way, I picked up the telescope and took a look. There were indeed several dolphins exposed on the water, and there were many small fish jumping out of the water in front of them, and some seabirds were also flying on the sea there.
At this time, the voice from the channel could also be heard in his ears.
Ye Yaohua immediately said: "I saw a lot of fish jumping out of the water on my side, very close..."
Zhou Daye said: "I also heard the sound of dolphins, but I couldn't see clearly..."
Father Pei said: "Go to Ahua's side and take a look. There may be a school of fish."
"Then let's all go over and take a look. My second brother also came closer to take a look. I saw it with a telescope. There should be a school of fish and a group of seabirds."
"good……"
The four boats all drove in the same direction, with the SF Express in front and the other fishing boats behind.
Only a few hundred meters away, several boats merged into parallel lines in an instant.
Ye Yaodong walked out and stood on the helm. He picked up his binoculars and saw the fish jumping out of the water in front of him. It was a barracuda, also called mullet, or black mullet, a very common fish.
Every year in early winter, when the northeast monsoon begins, it is the most fertile time for laying eggs.
The dolphins seemed to be driving closer to the nearby island.
"It looks like a school of mullets." Ye Yaohua said loudly from the other end.
The naked eye is not as good as his telescope. Ye Yaodong added: "It is a group of large and small dolphins driving away the mullet schools. The big dolphins are watching, and the small dolphins are driving them away."
"It's not easy to catch here..."
"Yes, there is an island right next to it. It is too close and the fishing net is so big that it will get caught on the bottom."
"Forget about fishing nets, even fishing boats that get closer will have to run aground."
"Forget it then? I see that the group of mullets is also a big group, black, white and black..."
"It's not easy to fish this way..."
Everyone discussed it for a while.
Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while and said: "I have an idea. Let's cooperate and bring out a fishing net. The boatmen will go into the water to stretch the fishing net to the maximum, and then swim from the outside to the island, just in time to manually collect the fish.
Catch them all in one go.”
He had calculated that there were about twenty boatmen in total. Although the fishing net was heavy, it could be dragged by many people.
This is equivalent to artificial seine fishing.
"Don't surround the dolphins when you surround them. They are big, powerful, and numerous. Don't try to escape by struggling. If you fail to catch the fishing net, your efforts will be in vain, and even the school of fish will escape."
"Besides, one dolphin is fine, but a group of dolphins can be very aggressive. Let the boatmen not provoke that group of dolphins."
Ye Yaohua agreed: "What Dongzi said is okay...it will only take a little manpower, and the fish school seems to be quite big. Anyway, we will return to Hong Kong soon, so everyone can rest when we go back."
Father Pei also said: "I think it's okay too. When we catch the fish, we sell them together and then divide the money from the fish."
Zhou Da then said: "I don't have any objection either."
"Okay, if you don't mind, just get closer, a little further to the side, and I'll ask someone to take the fishing nets out of the warehouse and sort them out."
Fortunately, it's only mid-October. Although the weather is getting cooler, it's not time to wear cotton-padded jackets yet, and it's not impossible to go into the water. In winter, it's freezing cold.
After Ye Yaodong finished instructing the boatmen, he also drove the fishing boat to follow them to the edge.
The dolphins also discovered the fishing boat, but they did not avoid it at all, and were not afraid at all. The dolphins' sound became even louder, as if they were trying to drive them away.
After they docked the fishing boat, they asked the boatmen to come over and grab the mouth of the fishing net one by one. Then they launched the fishing net one by one and swam toward the fish.
Ye Yaodong was on the boat and helped throw the back section of the fishing net into the water, as well as the float and sinker, and watched everyone spread out the fishing net.
With a pod of dolphins around, those black mullets can't escape at all, but these dolphins are not very afraid of humans. When the boatmen get very close, they hesitate to drive the dolphins away.
They whispered to each other, slowly moved towards the pod of dolphins little by little, and started shouting.
Those dolphins will still avoid them after all. When they see humans getting closer and closer, they will quickly swim to the side with their cubs.
But there are also some dolphin calves that have not left. They are among the fish and are still excitedly driving the fish to shallow water.
The boatmen could only drive away the dolphins in the outer areas. The fishing nets were already stretched to the maximum, but they did not give up. The opened fishing nets gradually covered the fish schools.
The dolphins in the outermost part of the sea were also anxious, shouting loudly, and the cubs inside seemed to have heard it, and started to swim out, but the fishing net had already been opened, and they would be trapped if they swam out.
Veins bulged in the arms of the boatmen. A large school of fish had fallen into the fishing net. They were now slowly pulling the fishing net up from the sea to the shallows.
Ye Yaodong and his group's boats had been temporarily stranded on the edge of the island. People also got off the boats into the water, pulling a pile of bamboo baskets to the shore while the water was flowing.
"Wow, the whole network is full..."
"The grass is all caught in the net."
"Successful, we really caught them all in one fell swoop..."
"This net is full, how many thousands of kilograms does it have to be?"
"Hurry over there, I think they can't hold you back."
After the fishing net was opened to the maximum, all the fish got into the fishing net, and then swam to the middle section of the fishing net, and some continued to swim to the fish collection bag.
The fishing nets of their trawls are more than 300 meters long, and they are all stretched by the collision of these black mullets. There are black mullets in every corner of the fishing net.
A whole long fishing net is also swaying on the sea.
This is truly a clean sweep.
At this time, the boatmen also came ashore and stood on the island. They were all holding on to the corners of the fishing nets, and they were all struggling to do so.
The weight inside the fishing net is at least tens of thousands of kilograms, which means the fishing net is long and can catch the left and right collisions of the fish, providing a buffer and reducing the force.
"Come quickly, it's too hard. The fishing net itself is heavy, and there are so many fish..."
"Did you bring a fishing net? You have to fish it out bit by bit, otherwise you won't be able to put it away..."
Father Pei laughed and said, "We caught them all in one catch. Wait until I go to the boat to get the fishing net."
"What should I do if there are several small dolphins inside? They are still colliding there."
Ye Yaodong said: "Fetch it out and put it back into the sea later. The group of dolphins on the side are watching eagerly, waiting to attack."
"Then hurry up. Just catch this big wave of fish and return the dolphins to them." Ye Yaohua said.
Ye Yaodong added: "We have robbed their rations and captured their cubs. This is not possible. The group of dolphins will go crazy later, so we should move faster."
"Our fishing net can only be caught in our hands, what should we do?"
"Catch first?"
"Find a rock to tie to..."
"Here, this reef is short. Put a rope in it and tie it around to fix it."
After some discussion, the boatmen had already put ropes on the rocks and fixed the fishing nets.
Then one by one they happily walked into the water again and laughed out loud as they looked at the endless stream of fish in the fishing net.
"That's okay. Those dolphins are in trouble."
"Yes, cut off all their food rations."
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "They should be training the cubs' fishing abilities."
All he saw were the young ones taking the lead and surrounding the school of fish, while the big dolphins were just watching from the surface, and he knew it.
Dolphin calves are too small and the fish are too slippery, so they will use a unique hunting method of stranding themselves, driving the fish to the shallows and catching them easily, and then swim back to the sea with the help of the tide.
"You guys go in with the baskets and fish them out first, then I'll go to the boat to get the nets and some more baskets." After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he went into the water and went to the boat.
Everyone started moving quickly, with smiles on their faces and excitement. This was the first time that I had to pull tens of thousands of kilograms with human power.
When he came back, there were already dozens of full baskets piled on the beach, and everyone was busy loading them back and forth, chatting about them and being extremely excited.
"I can't finish pretending, my God, I can't finish pretending..."
"This is too much. When the net was closed, I just felt a large wave of fish rushing in. Now I have to fish it out to make it loud."
"It's several hundred meters long, and it's full of fish. Fish it out quickly. Once you've done it, go back."
Fortunately, they had calculated the time for their return. They thought that it would be just after dark and they would be able to sell goods on the shore. Now it would be good to catch all these fish before dark.
Ye Yaodong took the fishing net he took off the boat and distributed one to each of his own people.
He also went into the water to help.
"Ah, there is a little dolphin..."
When he heard the shouting, he looked over and said, "Pretend it first."
The group of dolphins on the sea were still watching eagerly because they hadn't seen the cubs emerge yet.
At this time, as soon as someone put a small dolphin out of the fishing net and came out of the water, the dolphins on the beach kept slapping the water excitedly.
"Do you want to stay the little dolphin?"
Ye Yaodong took the little dolphin out and stranded it in the water. He said, "Throw it back into the sea. There are enough fish. This is just a little dolphin. If you leave it, those dolphins will attack."
"Okay, then put it back."
He pushed the stranded little dolphin to swim into the sea. After swimming deeper and deeper, it disappeared after a while. He just glanced at the dolphins still watching around him and continued to work.
After intermittently catching five or six small dolphins from the fishing net and putting them back into the water, the dolphins gradually left.
I guess I was cursing in my heart: What a shame, the snacks that the child worked hard for a long time were snatched away by shameless humans...
The fishing nets were getting smaller and smaller, and the black mullet inside were fished out in large nets. Everyone's baskets were not enough.
We can only divide a group of people to pull the goods in the basket onto the fishing boat one after another and dump them on the deck first, otherwise there will be no containers to store them.
Their fish warehouse has already been filled up, and they will only plan to go back when the fish warehouse is full.
We can only dump it on the deck now, and when we get back, some of the goods are sold out and the baskets are freed up, and then we can load them up one by one.
In autumn, they were all sweating while soaking in the water.
As time goes by, some people can no longer straighten their waists and support their waists with their hands. Some people laugh at them because their waist strength is gone and they are no longer useful.
"The tide is about to come in. Just hold on, there won't be much left. Once the last bit is salvaged, we can get on the boat and go back."
Ye Yaodong kept bending back and forth, helping to move and lift, but he also felt pain in his back and neck. He looked around and found a place with dry sand to sit down and rest.
These dry sands reflect colorful colors under the sun, feel fine and soft, and are mixed with some shellfish and coral fragments.
He clapped his palms to let the sand on them fall away, and then looked around.
The surrounding reef walls were densely covered with various kinds of shellfish. He had noticed it since he landed on the beach, but business was more important. Those fish products weighed at least tens of thousands of kilograms and were worth several thousand dollars.
But at this moment, he was sitting and resting, and his hands felt itchy and unbearable. It would be a pity not to dig them up. This is a shellfish given to mankind by nature, and it can grow naturally again. Seeing this, it is unacceptable not to dig it up.
But he didn't have time to dig.
Everyone was busy fishing for fish in the fishing nets, so he couldn't just go about his business and pick these things up.
His eyes scanned the surrounding rocks like a radar, predicting how many sacks could be collected if they were collected.
These things are really big, each one has its own size. Probably no one has ever visited this island, after all, it is a bit far away from the shore.
If it weren't for the limited growth of all kinds of shellfish, I don't know how big they will grow, and any spicy snail would be as big as a baby's fist.
After watching for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he pulled a basket over and picked up the conches on it first.
The shellfish that are densely packed on top need to be pried with sharp objects. The conch is relatively easy to break off, but if it is big, you have to twist it hard to get it off.
He did this quietly here, and no one else saw it. Only after he dug out a basket and pulled it over did the others notice.
"Haha, why are you still picking up snails?"
"You're just sitting and resting. Do you notice your hands are itchy? Pick up a basket and take it home for dinner."
"A conch this big can be sold for a lot of money."
"Keep it for yourself. It's hard to dig a big basket but it won't sell for much. Today, the fish in this net can be sold for several thousand yuan, and the four boats can share it quite a lot. Take these conchs back."
Let everyone have a good time."
"Haha, that's okay too."
"Only Adong is more willing to give it up. He has deep pockets and thinks it won't cost much, but these can be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan."
"It's getting dark now. When will this island be free? Come and dig some. It would be a pity if you don't. There's quite a lot of stuff."
"Fuck...look, look, look..."
Everyone heard someone's frightened voice and turned around to look. They were all frightened and their scalps were numb.
I saw a large number of pink flesh worms crawling up from the water and onto the beach, and they were still squirming. Just one look at them made people's scalp numb.
"Fuck..."
"My goosebumps..."
"What is this? What kind of insect? Why is it so scary? It's so scary..."
"Oh my God, where did so many bugs come from? Oops, my hair is standing on end. What should I do..."
"No, what is this? Why are there so many..."
"There shouldn't be any problems with this island, right?"
Everyone was startled, and a little panicked. They looked at the water with wide eyes with frightened faces.
There were so many, they crawled up in patches under the water. At first, they just popped up, but now they have climbed onto the beach in large areas. Everyone's face has turned pale with fear.
Ye Yaodong said quickly: "Hey, hey, don't be afraid. This is called Haitian sweet potato. It's edible and delicious. It just looks a little disgusting, almost like sandworms?"
"No, the sandworms are caught one by one. Unlike this one, they crawl up in large pieces and still don't recognize them. This is too scary."
"Do you know it? What is this? It's so disgusting."
"This is too much, too disgusting, too scary, my God, there are more maggots than there are in the latrine..."
"This one looks more disgusting than sandworms, sea centipedes, and shipworms."
"No?"
Ye Yaodong squatted down and grabbed one and put it in the palm of his hand. The bug was still squirming in his hand and was sticky. Everyone's scalps felt numb after looking at it.
He even caught it and showed it to everyone, "Isn't it just like sandworms, sea centipedes, and shipworms? They are all just as disgusting."
"You also know it's disgusting..."
"What should I do now? The fishing nets haven't been collected yet..."
"You carry the baskets to the boat for those who should, and those who should collect the fish continue to collect the fish. If you are afraid of this, then let me catch it."
This is good stuff, but it looks a little disgusting.
In fact, he also had goosebumps all over the floor. A small one would not frighten him, but when it came up all over the beach, who wouldn't feel numb after seeing it?
I guess if he didn't recognize what it was and didn't explain why, everyone would be worried about the evil nature of this island, abandon the net and run to the sea to get on the boat.
Now that he has contracted it himself, his hands are trembling a little. He just grabbed one and his hands are still sticky. It is really disgusting.
If the quantity in this area was small, it would be okay. Now there is such a large quantity and it is still rising. I don’t know how many there are...
His scalp was also numb.
But think about it, this thing is also a type of sea cucumber, also called eggplant or sea cucumber. It’s just that the shape and color are very similar to sweet potatoes, and they are constantly squirming like red fleshy bugs and have mucus, which makes them look disgusting.
.
"Brother Dong, I brought you a basket...you can load it slowly..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the ground with disgust, "Get me a glove."
Chapter completed!
