Ye Yaodong had been busy collecting the fishing nets and didn't pay much attention. After hearing what his father said, he looked up and found that the boat seemed to have not moved for a long time.
Logically speaking, whether it is trawling or collecting the net, the boat is traveling at a constant speed. It will only stop for a while after collecting the fishing net and before launching the net.
"Did someone's boat break down? But I didn't see anyone calling for help. We are right here. If there is a problem and we need to call for help, someone will definitely wave the little red flag."
"That's right, so they are sorting out the net after dragging it? Are they sorting the fish? Impossible."
"Well, after collecting the net, I will definitely arrange and re-launch it as soon as possible. Then one person can sail the boat and put down the net and sort it out. Forget it, don't worry about others. As long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine.
How long do they float on the sea and how long do they stay?"
"I'm afraid something will happen. Many people die at sea every year. Two days ago, I heard that two bodies floated to the shore of the pier. People living near the pier saw it, and several families gathered together
Drag the body up, take it up the mountain and bury it."
Ye Yaodong also heard Lin Xiuqing say it at home, and it was his neighbor's sister-in-law who said it.
"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Who knows what kind of people are on the opposite boat?"
Don't be a disgusting person. When the time comes, he will find trouble for himself. His father is still too simple.
"Okay, then let's drag our net, and if anyone passes by and comes close, we can take another look at it."
"Well, let's put it in the Internet cafe."
After the father and son said a few words, they began to work again, but their attention was always focused on the boat in the distance.
The boat still didn't move when they finished lowering the fishing nets and moved forward at a constant speed.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but be a little curious. What's wrong with people stopping there?
Everyone at sea is trying to tow as much cargo as possible. Just tow as much cargo as possible. Where can we waste time and stop there?
Take a poop, stick your butt out, and the boat is still working.
After driving around the sea area, he couldn't help but get closer to the other party's boat. He wanted to say that he was doing normal operations anyway, and it was normal for him to get closer during the trawling process.
Because he thought that when they encountered a school of fish, their boat would also be parked there to catch a large amount of fish, but it did not stay as long as they did, because the fish school was moving, and they would have to move after catching one or two nets.
The boat went to catch up.
There was one time when a shoal of electric rays accidentally electrocuted the fish, and suddenly there were densely packed small yellow croakers floating on the sea surface, so they stayed for a long time to fish.
Thinking of this, he was also a little excited, but it was true that he encountered another school of fish. The boat was just there to catch a lot of fish, so it was stopped for so long.
"Dad, the boat is still not moving, let's go over and take a look?"
"Well, then go over and have a look. I just told you to go over and have a look."
"Aren't you afraid of causing unnecessary trouble? But it does feel a bit abnormal, so let's just trawl through it normally and take a look."
If they really encounter a school of fish, they can also get a share of the pie.
"Um."
Ye Yaodong adjusted the direction slightly. The ship was still traveling at a constant speed of three to four knots per hour, and did not speed up suddenly to avoid making the other party think they were going to do something.
As the distance got closer, the boat still didn't move, and some of it just drifted and swayed with the current.
Gradually, they also saw people on the boat. It seemed that two people had been lying on the edge of the boat.
Moreover, there seems to be something popping up on the sea surface?
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but have doubts now. Did they really encounter a school of fish? Are they fishing?
Father Ye also stretched his neck to look over and muttered, "Isn't it possible that he encountered a school of fish? Otherwise, why would he not be moving? What is that black thing? Is it a fish, so big? They are
Stop there to catch those big fish?”
"There must be a big fish, otherwise it wouldn't stop there."
As the father and son talked, their hearts became a little hot.
"You'll know if you get closer."
"Sewing the net while driving, otherwise we won't be able to stop for a while."
During the process of raising the net, the fishing net cannot stop. Once it stops, the net will sink to the bottom.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to put down the net. There shouldn't be much goods inside, and the net hoisting machine can lift the net very quickly.
The father and son kept their eyes fixed forward and never moved away.
After getting a little closer, they also discovered that it turned out to be an acquaintance's boat.
"Ouch? The logo on the boat seems to belong to your Uncle Lin?"
Ye Yaodong also noticed it and felt a little familiar, "Is it really true?! Such a coincidence?"
They are acquaintances, so they don't have to worry about getting close.
As the distance got closer and closer, they also confirmed that the fish that appeared from time to time on the sea were big fish.
"Oh, this looks quite big from a distance. You, Uncle Lin, are so lucky. If you had known, you would have driven over earlier. If you told me to come over and have a look, you still don't believe me?" After Father Ye saw it clearly, he said
It's a pity that it came late.
Hindsight!
Ye Yaodong cursed.
"Who knows? Aren't I afraid of getting into trouble? Did you forget that time we caught ambergris last year?"
"Stop talking about that, and quickly move forward and take a closer look."
"Who doesn't know how to get closer? It takes time to sail a boat. Can it fly?"
Ye Yaodong was talking back, but he also thought about getting closer quickly. It's been so long, and if he can't eat meat, he might as well drink some soup.
Both father and son expected to see a large school of fish when they got closer, but they didn't expect that when they got closer, Uncle Lin's boat suddenly started to move.
"Is this all done, or have the fish started to move?"
Ye Yaodong didn't say a word and just continued to move forward. The fishing net was still being collected. If the fish started to move, they wouldn't be able to stop.
Ye's father didn't expect him to answer either. The two of them stayed together. It was strange that he could determine what the situation was.
Just to prepare early, he hurried to the cabin to take out the hand-thrown net and prepare it, so as not to be blinded in a moment.
When only a little of their fishing nets were brought up, they also saw a small black shadow on the sea ahead.
Uncle Lin's boat was chasing and casting the net.
"And, and..."
Father Ye held the hand-thrown net he had just arranged in advance and said excitedly.
Ye Yaodong also speeded up a little, followed, and slowed down after driving next to the fish. Father Ye spotted the fish and quickly cast the net out.
They didn't bother to say hello at this time and planned to fish it out first.
The two boats were in tandem, with a small shoal of fish separated in the middle, and they each cast and collected their nets.
Ye's father quickly collected the net as soon as he cast it out, then hung the fishing net on the rolling wheel and used the rolling wheel to collect the net.
As Ye Yaodong sailed the boat, he paid attention to the trawl net behind him to see if it had been reeled in.
When Father Ye's hand-thrown net gradually closed up and was pulled to the side of the boat, they also saw clearly that the dark school of fish was a school of black mullet.
"It's a black mullet. No wonder it's so dark in this small area, and what kind of big fish pops up in front of it from time to time? It looks a bit like a dolphin?"
"You'll have a good look later. Let's catch some and take a look." Ye Yaodong kept paying attention to the front, back, left and right, "To close this net, we first pull up the stern trawl net from the stern slide."
"good."
After the fishing boat on the opposite side collected a net, Uncle Lin shouted to them: "So that boat in the distance was yours? I thought it was who it was, but you guys came a step too late."
Father Ye shouted while closing the net: "We didn't know it was you, otherwise we would have come closer. Fortunately, we can catch a little in time."
"It's almost gone..."
It is indeed almost gone, only a small piece.
When Ye Yaodong was casting the net for Ye's father, he also saw baskets of black mullet on Uncle Lin's boat. There were quite a lot of them. According to his estimate, there should be thousands of catties. He didn't know that they had caught them in that short time.
How many networks are there?
Alas, they have caught all the fish! They have also made all the money. He can only drink soup.
The black mullet during the spawning period is particularly sensitive to the temperature and salinity of the sea water. When winter comes, as the air temperature and sea water temperature drop, the black mullet schools in the northwest Pacific will move south in groups to find sea areas suitable for spawning.
Therefore, when the weather turns cold in December, black mullet often swim south along the west coast of the bay and spawn in the surrounding waters.
Not only the black mullet, but also three big fish that looked like sea pigs were on Uncle Lin's boat.
He also shouted to Uncle Lin, "Uncle, are those on your boat just sea pigs?"
"Yes, that's why I said you were late. A group of sea pigs led a school of black mullet and stayed there just now, and it was completely dark. I just happened to drag the net there and encountered it, so I quickly set up a net around it to catch it.
"
“What luck!”
"You were also dragged nearby by trawl, right?"
"We have been trawling the area around here, but we didn't expect to run into you today."
"I just happened to be trawling here. I always feel that there will be a few more trawlers in the second half of the year. We also encountered one before you, so we came here."
There are more and more fishing boats, which is inevitable.
Ye Yaodong saw his father collect the fishing net and put it aside, then hurriedly ran to the stern of the boat to collect the fishing net. He also quickly stopped the boat and went to the stern to help.
The fishing net itself is very heavy and cannot be pulled up by one person.
But when he just ran to the stern of the boat, his father shouted: "Dongzi, come and help, there are two sea pigs inside!"
"Ah? It's coming, it's coming..."
He quickened his pace and ran over. His father was struggling to pull the fishing net, so he rolled up his sleeves and got started quickly.
The two of them worked together to pull the trawl onto the boat, where the two largest sea pigs were still twitching a few times.
"I didn't expect that there would be bargains to be found. They came up twice at once."
Father Ye was also very happy, "It's okay, it's okay, I can still catch up, I can drag it up to both ends, and I can sell it for a lot of money."
"Let's leave it for now. I'll go sail the boat and see if I can catch up with the school of black mullet again. You go and pour out all the fish in the hand net, and then cast one or two nets."
"Why…"
There is another one waiting for two o'clock, no, don't wait, I will see it tomorrow
