Chapter 226 Piece it all together and receive the goods
The fishing boats are operating at a constant speed, the sea breeze is blowing in their ears, and the cold wind is biting, all for the sake of survival.
During the operation, he encountered another fishing boat. When he saw it from a distance, he just moved away and went about his own business without disturbing each other.
It was not until the fishing boat had been operating for 2 hours that Ye Yaodong chose to set up the net. Regardless of the value of this net, the harvest volume was also very good.
A large bag full of fish was pulled up, and the harvest was very gratifying. It was much more than the net hauled in before dawn.
Most of the fish in this net are mud fish, each one is bigger than a palm, about half a catty. The mud fish are the fattest at this time, and in summer, one fish is only about 2 taels.
In the dialects of southern Fujian, it is called Niangai, and in some places it is called Stinky Belly Fish. In their local area, it is still called Ni Mengyu. It can only be said that the names are different in different places.
They have a jingle along the coast, "One stingray, two tigers, three sandy hairs, four golds, ancient five niangsai."
This folk saying summarizes the list of venomous fish in the ocean world that have poisonous bones but delicious meat. Among them, Wuniang Ai is talking about the mud fish.
Its sting is not only sharp but also poisonous. The sting is as painful as a bee sting, especially during the killing process, it is easy to be stung by its sting.
But this kind of fish is really delicious. It has no scales. When killing it, you need to use scissors to disembowel it, but be careful not to break the intestines in its belly. It must be cut off completely, otherwise it will be completely broken.
Any fish will be very bitter when cooked and lose its original deliciousness.
Then cut off the entire row of hard thorns on its back and abdomen.
Use it to cook fish soup. First fry both sides and put water to boil. Then add some shredded ginger. Then take a radish and cut it into shreds. Boil it and then put it down to taste.
The fish soup stewed in this way is milky white and particularly delicious. Sprinkle a little chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot, and it will be full of color, flavor and flavor...
Suck it~
Ye Yaodong poured out the fish and carefully picked a few into his bucket. The small stove must be turned on. When he saw the fish, he already thought about how to cook it. He would arrange it when he got back!
"Dad, do you want this fish? Take it back and cook shredded radishes. A lot of radishes in the backyard have grown up and are ready to eat."
"Just grab a few."
He took a basket and threw a dozen of them into it. He also divided the soft silk and prawns in his bucket, and also threw in two toad fish. Adding two random vegetables was almost enough for them to eat for a whole day.
.
People living on the beach depend on their fortunes, but they don't have to worry about food. They diligently build a few seine nets on the beach, and when the tide goes out, they can collect a large bucket of food at will, and they won't be able to finish the food.
After Ye Yaodong casually distributed the goods he kept for himself, he didn't care about the fish on the board. He clapped his hands and stood up, "Dad, you can go sail the boat and I'll put the net in."
Take the time to get off the net and go home. The weather doesn't look good. There was still a weak sun in the morning, but it became overcast at noon. It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is a little dark.
Father Ye was still wandering around the nearby waters. After Ye Yaodong lowered the fishing net, he took a basket to put the mud fish in. He filled two full baskets, which looked like they weighed eighty or ninety kilograms.
There are also some miscellaneous fish and shrimps at the bottom, which he packed separately. These can only be taken back to dry, and the hooks need to be taken back to be repaired. There is no need for bait in the past two days, and it is hard to say when the wind will pick up next.
Fortunately, it is a northerly day and there is no sun, so the fish can be dried even if it is blown by the wind.
It is indispensable for people to dry fish at the beach, especially in autumn and winter. As long as it doesn't rain, long bamboo poles are standing at the door of every house, on the wall, and on the roadside. You can smell the strong smell of fish wherever you walk on the road.
After Ye Yaodong finished sorting the goods, he held his clothes and leaned against the cabin door to block the wind, looking at the sparkling sea.
In the past, when the weather was still cool, there would often be small fish jumping out of the water, but today there were no more. We only happened to encounter big silver carp, and they are probably diving to the bottom of the sea now.
The situation of making money is not optimistic.
While looking at the sea, he thought about the sticky net that had flashed through his mind before, and thought about making one to try when he got back.
After pondering for a while, his thoughts were interrupted by a sailfish rushing by.
Don't ask him how he knew such a fast speed. The reason was that he saw its dorsal fin. The spread dorsal fin was as conspicuous as a fluttering flag. Even though it whizzed past, he still recognized it.
.
The swordfish has a long mouthpart like the swordfish, but it has an extra flag that flutters in the wind.
This time he couldn't bring himself to chase. Mad, I heard that the pointed kiss could even pierce a submarine. He didn't believe it until he saw a swordfish pierce an iron boat with his own eyes a few days ago.
.
But the fishing boat I met earlier actually chased after it at full power. How brave! I wish you good luck!
Father Ye also stared at it and said hesitantly: "Dongzi, let's not follow this time?"
"I won't follow you anymore, so as not to cause trouble. Anyway, I didn't see him on the spot."
"That fish is too dangerous, let's not even think about taking advantage of it."
"Um."
When his fishing equipment is upgraded in the future, and conditions are met, he can try to use the fishing equipment! Then he can catch them all in one boat!
After Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while, he didn't see the fishing boat on the sea, and he didn't know if he could catch it successfully. He looked at the time and went to set up the net.
The wind on the sea seems to have gotten a little stronger in the evening, and it looks like the wind is going to blow again. If we pack it in early, we can go home early.
I don’t know if the sea has been attacked by mud fish alone. There are not even small fish and shrimps in this net. What comes out are all mud fish, and only a few large prawns are mixed in.
Ye Yaodong fiddled with it and found that the fish in this net were bigger, most of them weighed more than one kilogram. Good guy, they look really good.
He casually picked up two more and threw them into his own bucket and his father's basket...
Of course I have to keep two big ones if I catch them hard.
Father Ye didn't say anything after seeing it. The fish was very cheap, so he could do as he pleased.
The value of the fish caught today is not high, but there are still a lot of mud fish in the two nets. The total weight of the two nets is more than 200 kilograms. Father Ye is still very satisfied.
Ye Yaodong also thinks it's barely okay, and he can't expect to get lucky every day. It's already winter, and today's delivery is pretty good.
He still let his father drive the boat, and he put all the fish into baskets. He didn't sort the fish by size. He waited until they got to the shore to pick them slowly.
When the fishing boat approached the coast, he took over the work from his father. It was still early to return today, less than 4 o'clock, and he planned to collect the ground cages.
He estimated that there would still be starfish in the cage today, and they would disappear within a few days. Harvesting them would subsidize today's fish supply. The value of the fish caught today was too low.
The prices of toad fish, silver carp and mud fish are still in the single digits even after being stocked for decades. Occasionally, the price of big silver carp and mud fish can rise to more than ten yuan. It also depends on the season.
When he put away the net of starfish, Father Ye's face full of grooves burst into laughter, "I don't know how many more days this starfish will last. I keep receiving hundreds of kilograms of goods every day. How many days will it last?"
The weather is also very optimistic.”
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes when he heard this. It didn't matter now that his father said this, since the shellfish on the surrounding rocks on the shore were not valuable anyway.
Decades later, if he says this again, he will be scolded to death. Farmers are most afraid of these starfish. To farmers, starfish are like locusts, causing losses to shellfish, oysters, abalone and other crops wherever they go.
heavy.
"Just think about it, it's just like locusts. When they retreat, we won't be able to eat mussels and oysters for several months. We don't know if any of the surrounding islands have survived, or they will all wash up on our shores.
"
"What does that have to do with it? What matters is that it can be sold for money. Those shells are gone once they are gone. Anyway, they will grow back in two months if they are washed by sea water."
"Um."
Anyway, he has a lot of useful stuff at home.
He collected the ground cages one after another one after another, poured out all the starfish inside, and returned the ground cages to the sea. Father Ye held the sacks to help load the goods.
After picking up all the cages, he counted the quantity and received another 7 and a half bags, one more bag than yesterday, and felt extremely satisfied.
It’s a patchwork of things, but the delivery seems to be going well today? Sure enough, we need to expand our business in many ways.
Drive the boat to the shore. Now that the tide is high, the fishing boat can dock directly to the shore to unload.
At this time, the shore was still crowded with people and noisy everywhere. Compared to yesterday, it was no less impressive. It looked like everyone had worked hard for another day.
I guess they have just landed ashore not long ago, and they are all queuing up to sell goods, right?
Mother Ye had been paying attention to the sea. When she saw them coming back, she asked Ye Huimei to watch the queue of goods, so she came over to help. By the way, she told them about several conflicts that occurred in the water when picking up starfish today, and how miserable the fight was.
The water reached the shore, affecting a large number of people, and some even used carrying poles to beat people...
Some people's heads were bleeding, and they were all bandaged. The commotion only stopped just now.
The father and son were stunned...
"Then are you okay? We are not at home today. Have you women suffered a loss? Don't come to pick it up tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong also agreed, this conflict is escalating day by day, and everyone has gained experience.
After being beaten on the first day, the narrow-minded person must have seen the opportunity to regain his position on the second day, and even more so on the third day. If he had been beaten for a few more days, he would probably have been killed.
Mother Ye was also a little scared and said: "No, I just picked it up for a while in the morning. When I saw the fight started, I quickly pulled Huimei to the shore and didn't dare to go down anymore."
"Don't let the little girl come out here at the dock tomorrow, just let her stay at home and wait for her marriage." Ye Yaodong frowned and said, such chaos is no longer suitable for her little girl to come out.
"Um……"
At this moment, another boat came in behind them and docked alongside their boat.
While carrying the goods, Mother Ye turned around and took a look, but was startled, "Oh, why is there blood everywhere? Isn't this Lin Weiying from Dongqiao Village? What happened to you? Why are you injured?"
Kicked out, I will make a fortune for being so hard-working!
