The moonfish looks very similar to the sunfish, but they are not the same fish, much different.
The meanings of the two fishes are completely opposite.
The moon fish represents luck and is a lucky fish, while the sunfish is unlucky. If you encounter it, you have to stay away quickly and burn two talismans to remove bad luck.
Ye Yaodong happily watched the big fish being watched and commented on by everyone.
In the middle of the front of the helm building, there is a rectangular fish bin cover, with fish on both sides for normal fishing. The width is about one meter to less than two meters.
This moon fish lay flat on the fish barn cover and occupied most of it, making the surrounding big and small fish look particularly small and dim.
Ye Yaodong let the fishing boat continue to move forward according to the established sailing trajectory. He walked out of the cockpit and went out to take a closer look.
As soon as they walked out, everyone's excitement became clearer. However, the noise of the fishing boats was loud and the wind and waves were rough, so he couldn't hear everyone's words clearly. He could only estimate visually that the fish weighed more than a hundred kilograms.
He saw that the fishing net had just been collected and the goods inside had not yet been completely hoisted and released. He estimated that there were still two or three packages of goods that still needed to be hoisted, so he felt relieved and took the camera first and went down to take a look.
At this time, this moon fish had been lifted out of a pile of fish and shrimps by everyone. It stood up and gestured with its size, and everyone was talking excitedly.
"It's so awesome. This ocean is so magical. There are all kinds of strange fish..."
"It's also because of the deep sea. There are strange fish in the deep sea."
"What kind of fish is that? I've never seen it before..."
"I've never seen it before. Who knows what kind of fish it is? Anyway, you'll know what kind of fish it is when you sell it."
"If you don't know the goods, you will definitely be ripped off..."
Ye Yaodong stepped forward and pushed them away, "Let me see, it's so big..."
"Brother Dong, do you know what kind of fish this is?"
"You don't know?" he asked.
"How is it possible to know? No one in the bunch knows. This fish looks a little strange. It looks like a sunfish, but it's different. Is it unlucky? If it's unlucky, throw it away..."
Ye Yaodong lightly kicked the person who spoke, "What the hell, even if you throw away this package of goods, you can't throw away this fish."
Everyone was surprised.
"So valuable?"
"It's not a question of whether it's worth money or not. This fish is called the moon fish. It's a lucky fish. You can see it once in your life and it's already highly valued. If you dare to throw me away, I'll give you my life."
"I'll go! Is it such a big deal?"
"I just said this fish was extraordinary. When I just hung it up and saw a little bit, I said it was a big fish..."
"I also said that this fish looks so beautiful, it must be worth money..."
Everyone talked and marveled.
Ye Yaodong watched as they all gathered around to look at the fish and forgot what they were supposed to do.
Sure enough, a novice is a novice, and a grass-roots team is a grass-roots team. They are still not professional enough. Once they get far away, they don’t know what to do when they see something newer.
"Don't just look at me, you have to do the work that needs to be done. Go and seal the mouth of the net again, throw the fish bag into the water, and continue hanging."
This is not to continue trawling, but to continue to fill the fish collection bag with the remaining fish in the net, and then lift the net up.
Refer to the previous shocking experience of catching 110,000 kilograms of plum fish in one net.
There is no guarantee of how much cargo will be collected from a fishing net that is several hundred meters long, but at least tens of thousands of kilograms will not be able to release a whole net at a time, and the boom is not long enough.
In fact, it cannot be made any longer, as the boom will break easily.
The contents of a fish collection bag can weigh 5,000 kilograms at a time, which is commonly known as a bag.
When tens of thousands of kilograms of goods come online, we can only put them in packages one by one.
He just stared at the display screen and walked towards the place where the dots were densely distributed. The collection of these items must be accurate, and there would not be only one or two packs.
But these people are just looking at the big fish. Their professionalism is not enough and they have too little knowledge.
After his urging, some people quickly went to close the mouth of the net and threw it into the water, so that the fish in the fishing net continued to fall into the fish collection bag.
Ye Yaodong continued: "More than a dozen people are gathered here to watch the work, but no one is doing it. We can't do this next time. There are still these fish that have to be sorted. Those that should be bled should be bled, those that should be frozen should be frozen, and those that should be chilled should be chilled.
…”
"I understand..."
A bunch of people looked like they were about to disperse, so he quickly stopped another person and helped him take a group photo.
His camera can now take colorful pictures. The fish is already brightly colored, and it will look even better after being photographed and developed.
After taking the photo, he hung the camera around his neck again, then held the fish with both hands and looked back and forth.
While the others were busy working, they also turned to look at the fish. Working on their hands did not affect their chatting at all.
"Boss, how much can this fish be sold for..."
"It should weigh more than 100 kilograms. It's flat and wide, just like a pomfret. It must be very valuable."
"They say it's a lucky fish, and it's so rare that it must be very valuable..."
Ye Yaodong replied: "It depends on the situation. You have to see if there are people who know the goods. If you meet people who don't know the goods in a short period of time, it will be over. You can only try your luck to see how much you can sell."
"A few hundred yuan, right?"
Before he could answer, someone next to him said: "Nonsense, there must be some, it's so rare..."
"But a few hundred dollars can't even cover this package of goods..."
Everyone now looked at Ye Yaodong in confusion.
Ye Yaodong said: "As I said, it depends on the situation. How much it can be sold for, at least a few hundred yuan, there is no need to doubt it. As for the most important thing, it is because he is lucky, you know? He may not be able to see it once in his life, and you don't have it.
Notice anything different about this fish?"
"What's the difference? What's the difference?"
"It's not different? Isn't it just a fish?"
"No, this fish feels warm to the touch..."
"Yes, there is temperature. We have just talked about it."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "This is the only kind of warm-blooded fish that has been found so far. You can tell how rare this fish is by touching it, so if you pay a few hundred yuan at least, it's up to the boss to take more."
"Awesome, I've learned a lot..."
"Hurry up and get to work. Hurry up and hoist the second package. Don't just talk."
"Oh okay..."
Don't educate them about science, so as not to divert their attention, and they won't be able to do their work seriously.
After several packages of goods have been hoisted down, we will look at the situation and give them some knowledge.
The origin of the name moon fish is not because it looks like the moon.
The reason why it is called moon fish is because this fish lives at a depth of 20 meters in the sea and cannot be seen during the day. It only surfaces around the 15th day of the lunar calendar every month when the moon is full, and mostly between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock at night.
Because it belongs to the family Elephantidae, and it has dots of spots on it, like stars in the sky, it has earned its reputation.
Ye Yaodong calculated in his mind that the Lantern Festival had just ended and today was still the 17th day of the lunar calendar, which was indeed around the 15th day of the lunar calendar.
I chose a good time to go out to sea today. Unexpectedly, I caught a moon fish for him.
So far, most moonfish have been caught by accident, which is like winning the lottery, no one expected it.
Because they do not travel in groups, commercial fishing is not practical.
He has never seen it once in his life. This heavy weight is enough to show his luck.
This must mean that he will have smooth sailing and make a lot of money safely.
The fishermen on their coast are so superstitious.
Ye Yaodong happily looked back and forth at the moon fish, preparing to bleed it himself.
He didn't feel at ease letting other people come. After he had finished handling it, he would have someone carry it back to the freezer for storage, and then sell it at a good price after returning.
At this time, the second package of goods was also hoisted up. It was so full that the mast was bent.
"Fuck, that's awesome, I've never seen so many goods in my life..."
"There are still several bags in the fishing net. How can this boat be so good at fishing..."
"There is... a display... screen..."
"Where is this? The largest net we have ever seen weighed 110,000 kilograms, and they were all plum fish, unlike this miscellaneous pile..."
"Made, you are so lucky to have followed the boss so early..."
"No, look, there are moon fish..."
After hearing this, everyone raised their heads and looked at the package of goods hanging high. They actually saw a small part of the color exposed, which was really similar to the moon fish just now.
Ye Yaodong was holding a knife to bleed the moon fish and dispose of its internal organs. They all looked up in surprise.
Just then they pulled out the pole and opened the net mouth wide, and an identical fish instantly slipped out of the net mouth.
He swore happily and stood up, "Fuck? There's another horse riding horse?"
"Get rich..."
"This one seems bigger?"
"Brother Dong, look quickly, I didn't expect there were two of them in one net."
"Didn't you say that this fish is very rare? You may not see one in your lifetime?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and scolded: "Why are you questioning me? Do you know better or do I know better? This means that I am lucky, not that there are many fish, you know?"
How did he know that he could suddenly catch two in one net?
It made it seem like he was just bragging.
It must be clearly stated that he is extremely lucky.
"Hahaha……"
"Can you talk? If you hadn't followed Brother Dong, you might never have seen one in your life."
"That's right, Brother Dong is very good at shipping. Didn't the village know about it a few years ago?"
Ye Yaodong said: "Lift the second fish down together and compare the two fish together. Indeed, the second fish feels bigger."
"I think so too, the weight is different..."
"It's a pity that there is no scale."
An old boatman said with a smile: "What kind of scale do you want? Let's lift it and use our hands to get a rough estimate."
"Yes, this one is about 145 pounds, and the one just now is about 123 pounds. We can still give a rough estimate. The difference between the two pounds is so big, you can still feel it."
Ye Yaodong also raised his hand, and it felt almost the same. He smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen.
"Awesome, a good start."
"When we went to sea, Uncle Ye's sacrifice was not in vain. He fed the Sea Dragon King, and the Sea Dragon King sent us a large amount of goods."
"Can't it be Mazu?"
"Yes, yes..."
There will be no next chapter after 0 o'clock. I am too tired. I have been on the way to eat or eat at the banquet for the past two days. I am very sleepy and tired at night, so I go to bed first.
Originally this early morning chapter was placed before 0 o'clock so that you don't have to stay up late.
Chapter completed!
