Chapter 192 Landing
Ye Yaodong carefully put this piece of ambergris in the corner of the cabin, and then the father and son walked out back and forth with normal expressions.
Li Lao Er always felt that their behavior just now was a bit strange, wondering what kind of treasure it was, but he didn't get an answer, so he still leaned on the side of the boat and watched them unwillingly. When they came out, he immediately appeared again.
"Hey, let me ask you, what is that thing? You are so secretive, you still have to go to the cabin and listen to it!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him lightly, "It's a useless piece of marine garbage. I don't know who is too full to paint that piece of wood. I'm going to use it and tie it with a rope as a float."
It is quite reliable to say that it is painted wood. After all, it is impossible for a stone to float in the sea. Looking at it from a distance, that piece looks like gray painted wood.
When you go back, you can whole a piece of wood, make it into that shape, and then try to paint it yourself, and keep it as a spare, just in case.
Just look similar, not exactly the same.
In case this guy remembers something, he can still use it to gag.
"Marine litter? Paint? Are you lying? How can a piece of garbage go into the cabin?"
"I went to the cabin to discuss something with my father. I said it on the deck. What if I heard it?"
If it wasn't for reassuring his doubts, Ye Yaodong wouldn't bother to talk nonsense to him, and even explained.
"What's so mysterious, why don't you show me that piece of painted wood you mentioned?"
"Why? We want to discuss which sea area to release the row hook tomorrow. Do we want to tell you? You know, you want to go with us tomorrow? You have time to care about this, why don't you go before the sun goes down? Drag more nets."
Li Er Er persisted, "Show me that thing, and I will believe you."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Believe it or not, why did I tell you? When you beat us to death, didn't you still think we were busy? We don't have time to chat with you, we still have to work."
After finishing speaking, I won’t bother him anymore, believe it or not? Anyway, ordinary people would not think that it was ambergris, and there was still a long distance ahead, so he would make a similar one out of wood when he went back.
If it weren’t for this thing floating on the water, it would be easier for him to say that it was a stone that he couldn’t believe the stone.
Li Laoer frowned and watched as they drove the boat for a certain distance. If he had known what was ahead, he would have worked hard to pick it up and have a look.
At that time, I wanted to add some trouble to them, and it didn't matter if I couldn't get it.
Depressedly, he drove the boat to follow, and watched them work beside their boat.
Father Ye also thinks that the second brother Li is very annoying, and he doesn't know which village he is from.
"Yellowfin tuna fell into the sea, you don't want to do it, do you? You can make up for a little loss by fishing again now, or you might as well go back to rest as soon as possible, so it's no good to hang around our boat?"
"snort!"
Er Er Li watched them stock up continuously after a few hook intervals. Although they were not particularly valuable fish, they were not small in size, and they felt a little itchy.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no progress, he continued to haul the net by cursing at his wife.
There was a stalemate, they were reeling in the line and reeling in the fish happily on their own. It was a waste of time for him to just watch there, so he might as well drag another net.
The father and son saw that the boat had finally left, and they were relieved, and it would be fine if they were fooled.
"Today is really troublesome."
Father Ye also agreed, "It's worth catching something good. I don't know if they will think about it when they go back?"
"I don't have to be afraid when I go back. When I go back, I will make one myself."
"Well, I will change to another sea area tomorrow, and I will meet again in the province. These trawlers usually work in a few fixed locations."
"good."
The province meets again, causing unnecessary trouble.
Ye Yaodong collected the buoys and sinkers while picking fish, untied the connection points of each main line, and put them in the basket one by one. After collecting all the fish, he finally pulled out the tail anchor.
Today's harvest is huge. Although the piece of ambergris is temporarily invisible, its value cannot be denied. It is also because its value is too high, so it is necessary to hold it tight at this stage.
Take it back and dry it naturally, store it in a sealed container, and don’t be overwhelmed by cats, dogs, and cockroaches, and it can be stored for many years.
There is also that albacore tuna, which should be worth more than a hundred dollars, and there are many other fish products, and the resources in the offshore are better than those in the coast.
After getting everything on board, Ye Yaodong immediately went to sail the boat, handed over the bloodletting to his father, and hurried back as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the confiscation of the goods, the moment he got the ambergris, he would have returned immediately.
At this moment, both father and son were eager to return.
After their boat docked, the sky was getting dark, and the villagers around the pier were in a hurry. After all, it was meal time, and they were hurrying to go home for dinner, and they didn't care about others.
Because Lin Xiuqing was inconvenient, it was Ye's mother who came out to help pick up the goods. Ye Yaodong asked his father to watch the fish on the boat first. He put the piece of ambergris into the specially emptied bucket, and then took off his clothes to cover it. Send this big baby home, otherwise no one will be at ease on board.
People asked him why he was walking so fast?
He said he had a stomachache and rushed home to the latrine.
In recent months, because he went to sea, he traveled to and from the pier a lot, and bought a tin boat. Everyone looked at him with admiration. When they saw him, they liked to say hello to him.
He returned home in a hurry, and there were two more pendants on his legs as soon as he entered the door. The voices calling daddy one after another made his head dizzy, and he will not buy food for them in the future!
Buy one or two and stick to him.
"Go, go, play by yourself, I still have something to do."
Lin Xiuqing took the bucket in his hand with a smile, but felt that something was wrong with the bucket, not because of the weight, but if it was fish and shrimp, the bottom would sink.
She looked at Ye Yaodong suspiciously, "What's inside? No fish?"
As he said that he was about to take off the clothes on it, Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Don't move it yet, take it back to the house, don't let the children touch it, and don't let anyone see it, there are still fish on the pier, I want to Go out, just send this thing back now."
She was even more confused, and lowered her voice, "Is it something rare?"
Otherwise she couldn't understand.
"I'll tell you later when I get back, put it away first, brother, are they back?"
"Come back, they came back one step earlier than you, and I helped two sister-in-laws kill the fish and put them in the sun."
"Already in the sun? Forget it, I'll go find them when I come back."
Lin Xiuqing didn't understand, so she watched him go out in a hurry, and hurriedly carried the bucket into the house. She didn't dare to remove the clothes on it, for fear of bad things.
She is a sensible wife.
Afraid that the children would run into the house and rummage around, so they were not allowed to enter the house, and only let them play outside.
After Ye Yaodong hurried to the pier again, Ye’s father and Ye’s mother had already sorted the fish into baskets, and when he arrived, he could carry them off the boat and sell them on scales.
After all, it is the fish of the third child, so we must wait for him to come and sell it.
It was already dark at this time, and there were not many people on the pier, but when they saw them carrying an albacore off the boat, most of them put down their work and gathered around in surprise to join in the fun.
The number of big fish appearing on their pier is not uncommon, but it is relatively rare. Who doesn't like to watch the excitement.
"My God, which sea area did you go to? Did you go far? Did you catch tuna?"
"It's so big! It must be more than one meter?"
"Dong has been lucky these few months?"
Ye Yaodong carried the basket and walked in front, "Everyone make room, it's getting dark, we'll sell out early and go home early."
After lifting several baskets of fish from the boat one after another, the heavier ones would have to be loaded first. Some villagers were not in a hurry to go back, but waited there, just to see how much the tuna weighed and how much it could sell for.
Everyone looked at Ah Cai's beaming appearance and said there: "Don't say I don't take care of you, I will count you 2 yuan and 20 cents a catty for this albacore tuna."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, the price doesn't seem to be low, the weight of this item is right there.
He and his father weighed the fish together, "Weigh it, weigh it."
A Cai first measured its length with a ruler, which is a special treatment for big fish, and weighed it with weights after the measurement.
"Length is 129, weight is 49 catties, let me do the math... 107 yuan and 8 cents, just round up and calculate 108!"
"Wow~ there are so many, this fish is so expensive?"
"You're getting rich, isn't it the first time Adong goes out on a new boat today?"
"It's amazing, it's amazing, this fish can go out to sea for several days."
Ye Yaodong and Father Ye were extremely happy. Although it was the expected price, it was worth being happy that they really sold for so much money.
There are still several baskets of fish left, the cheap ones are one or two cents, and the expensive ones are five or six cents. There are only big ones, not small ones.
Everyone was very curious after reading it.
Ye Yaodong directly said that they were fishing with longlines, only catching big fish, but it took a lot of bait. After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Ah Cai to collect a batch of the cheapest miscellaneous fish, as well as five catties of small sword shrimp. Shrimp red shrimp cost a few dollars, and he asked Ah Cai to deduct it directly from the selling price.
His two elder brothers came back early today, and they didn't say in advance that there are no small fish and small shrimps to sell him, so he can only spend more money to buy bait, otherwise there will be nothing to do tomorrow, the little fish in the ground cage Shrimp is limited, definitely not enough.
The villagers are all speechless, the money to buy the bait is 7-8 yuan, right? This is faster than some people’s netting for a day. If it costs so much money, who would do it?
In case of bad luck, not many fish are hooked, isn’t it a big loss? So much money to spend on bait...
The people who were a little moved started to retreat again.
