Chapter 243 Coral
He turned the scroll wheel, drew in the fishing net and let his father catch the fish behind, and the parrotfish was also pulled to Father Ye.
Father Ye said happily: "This fish looks big, it weighs more than three catties."
"I just picked up a piece of red coral in its mouth, it's a little bigger than a fingernail."
"What is that used for? It's useless, just throw it back into the sea."
"Why throw it away, Big Red looks so festive, take it back and keep it, it might be worth a lot in the future."
"What is this thing worth? You don't want to give it away..." Father Ye said indifferently, "A few years ago, your aunt took a basket of red powder, white and black, and your mother regarded them as Garbage thrown into the sea..."
"Fuck!"
Ye Yaodong stared wide-eyed in shock and turned to look at his father. He didn't close the net anymore, "Is it true? Why don't I know?"
Father Ye rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you reacting so badly? Why don't you hurry up and go to the shore after harvesting, and go back before the sun goes down. Aren't you still going to the town to sell oarfish? What are you talking about? After collecting a little bit left, hurry back."
"Ah... no, my mother really threw a basket of coral?"
Father Ye saw that he was a little puzzled, and it was just some worthless stuff, so he ignored his question, and after bled the parrot fish, he stepped forward and turned the scroll wheel by himself.
The remaining sticky net is not long, and it was originally a 3-layer net with three fingers and a length of 100 meters.
"No, Dad, my mother really threw a basket of corals?"
If you don’t ask clearly, he will feel uncomfortable! Like a cat scratching!
Fuck, fuck, throw a basket of corals into the ocean? Do you want to be so extravagant and corrupt?
Although corals are worthless now, they will be valuable in the future...
uncomfortable...
No matter how hard it sounds, why should you tell him?
Father Ye turned the scroll wheel and saw another toad fish coming up two or three meters away, and hurriedly urged him, "Hurry up and do your work, why don't you ask, really throw it away, and at that time, the first aunt and the second aunt also threw it away." What are you using it for?"
"Damn it..."
Thousands of muddy horses gallop past in my heart, three baskets...
It's even more uncomfortable...
"Why throw it away? Where did you get the coral?" Seeing his father's repeated urging, he had no choice but to bear the pain in his heart, and took the ugly frogfish out of the net while talking.
"Why don't you just throw them away and keep them? The biggest ones are only the size of a finger, and the small ones are only half the length of a finger. Some are even thinner than chopsticks. It's useless to hold them, and they take up more space."
"Who said it's useless, just look at it at home, the red pink one looks so pretty, why does that little thing take up space?"
Damn it, Ye Yaodong really wants to beat his chest and stamp his feet! I really want to curse!
"Where did it come from?"
He is not reconciled without asking clearly.
"A few years ago, your aunt brought a big basket over, and the old lady divided it among the three of them, but your mother turned around and waited for your aunt to leave before taking it away..."
Father Ye said nonchalantly, and the sticky net was also being turned by the rolling wheel, and all of them were collected. The last few meters he collected were only four toad fish weighing four to five kilograms.
Ye Yaodong took out all the toad fish that were sticking to the net, threw them into the bamboo basket next to him, and asked with a heartache, "Where did aunt come from?"
"It is said that your eldest uncle has been running a big ship in the past few years, and occasionally passed the rb sea area. He often caught it when he was working. The boss of the big ship kept it. They also picked up a lot of small ones. The scattered ones at home Throwing it around, just want to take some over to see if we want it?"
"Then they just took it and threw it away? Damn...they brought it all up, why are they still throwing it away?" Ye Yaodong looked uncomfortable and constipated.
Is there any more?
"It's useless, don't you just throw it away?"
Father Ye was talking without stopping his hands, and put the fishing line neatly into the frame. There were some messy seaweed and algae mixed on the sticky net. After drying, it needs to be repaired before it can be put into use again.
"Why do you have such an expression? You went to sail home, why are you still standing there? Throw it away, it's worthless, what a pity, if you want it, go back and ask the old lady, she will definitely There's a bunch more."
The old lady must be reluctant to throw it away. The things her daughter sent over are all useless.
Um? besides? Turning around, Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, but depressed again in an instant.
After the old lady passed away in his previous life, he didn't see any corals. He probably either took them to burn them, or threw them back into the sea.
He was so busy with the funeral work that he rarely paid attention to, and he didn't pay attention to the things she left behind. Before he died, the old lady only secretly gave him a few pieces of unity wrapped in a handkerchief. Coral is worthless and it is useless to give him, so I didn't say it.
Thinking of this, he also felt a little uncomfortable. Throw it away, just throw it away, go back and ask the old lady, if she still has it, tell her to keep it, if you don't want it anymore, then keep it for him, throwing away is ten million Can't throw any more.
"Father, go back and tell your mother that next time if there are any leftovers, don't throw them away. If she doesn't want them, just give them to me. If you see others throw them away, ask her to pick them up or tell me. I'll pick them up. I want them." of."
"Save it. It's worthless now, but it doesn't mean it's worthless in the future. What if it becomes worthless in the future? Anyway, if you don't want it, give it to me. I want it. In what year did you throw it away?"
"The first month of the year before last? Or the year before last? Do you know now that it will be worth money in the future?"
"Oh~"
Who stays at home during Chinese New Year? No wonder he didn't know.
Father Ye just thinks that he is a little baffled, that something no one wants, just leftovers, he still regards it as a treasure, and will it be worth money in the future? Can you predict the future now?
"Go, go, I'll sail the boat, don't get in the way." Why don't you know? Momoji asked for a long time.
The job of sailing the boat was taken over by his father, so Ye Yaodong could only sit back on the small bench and sigh, what a waste of things.
He touched his pocket again, took out the small coral and took a closer look. The color of this red coral is quite uniform, the bright red is not mixed with pink and white, and there are some patterns on the surface, which looks very beautiful. Eye-catching, set a ring or embellished on the bracelet, absolutely beautiful.
He played with it in his hand for a while, then put it back in his pocket, ready to store it when he took it home.
Close up the clothes on his body, and he rolled up his sleeves, planning to pick out the baskets of frogfish in advance while he is free now. The prices of big and small are different.
This time he plans to leave the small one to dry, just because the weather is fine these few days.
The harvest of the last sticky net in the first test of the water today is not bad. I stuck one more than 20 catties, and there were 3 nets of seven or eight catties. The number of fishing nets is too small, so many nets need to be harvested together, so the quantity will be large. .
But Ye Yaodong only thought that the trawling net was not good at the beginning, so he got a sticky net to test the water and subsidize it. After all, this net is very troublesome, and it has to be washed and dried every time. Unlike trawling, the fishing net only needs to be repaired every few days.
Now that there is this scroll wheel, it is possible to put a few more sheets specially sticking toadfish and flounder. The large amount can keep you full and save effort, and the number of trawls may be appropriately reduced.
Ye Yaodong has already thought about it in his mind. After all, bottom fish in autumn and winter still have to stick to the net to catch them better.
On the way back, there were many returning boats on the sea one after another. The fishing boats they work here either go back on the same day or go for three to five days. There are the most fishing boats on the sea every evening.
Although they collected an extra sticky net in the end, which delayed a little time, they originally collected the net in advance. Today the weather is fine, the sea is small, the boat is relatively smooth, and the sun is just setting when the fishing boat docks.
He also sorted several baskets of toad fish similarly, and also sorted two baskets of black mullet. The price of male and female black mullet is different.
The ovary of the female fish is called mullet roe, which is a precious food and one of the famous products of Wanwan.
There are still a few baskets left that have not been picked, and they will be handed over to his parents for sorting when they land.
The fishing boats just approached the shore waters, and the boats that were close to each other shouted to each other, and then asked each other how much they caught today.
The huge white oarfish rested on the side of the boat, surrounded by a pile of stacked bamboo baskets, which blocked the view, so the fishing boat next to it did not see the oarfish, only saw it Stacks of bamboo baskets all smiled and complimented Father Ye.
Father Ye was also very happy when he saw the harvest of the boat, "It's all toad fish and black mullet. It's just luck that I caught a few scorpions. I see that your boat is also full of baskets, and the harvest is also very good. ah."
"It's almost the same. Recently, the trawl nets are full of toadfish and black mullet, and there are also a lot of flounder..."
"We are similar, just leave two baskets of small ones for drying..."
Father Ye didn’t point out the oarfish specifically, anyway, he would see it when he got off the shore later, he looked directly at Ye Yaodong, “Dongzi, are you going to town as soon as you get off the boat?”
"Well, while it's still daylight, I'll call a tractor to take me directly to the pier in town."
While the catch is still fresh, it will be sent to the pier in the town, where the fishing boats are just coming into the port.
Mother Ye also saw her own fishing boat at this time, and she also got off the shore. When the fishing boat docked, she happily climbed up directly.
"Today's harvest is quite good, the baskets are full of boats... Ah! What is this? What is it? Hairtail? Why is it so long?"
As soon as Ye Mu climbed onto the boat, before she could finish her sentence, she saw the oarfish lying close to the side of the boat, and she was stunned.
She had never seen such a long fish in her life.
"This is an oarfish."
"What oarfish?"
"Oarfish?" The man on the nearby fishing boat also listened to it, and repeated in surprise, "Did you catch the oarfish?"
He leaned over to the side of the boat, stretched his head to look, but his sight was blocked by the bamboo basket, and he could only see a little fish head and the red tassels on the fish head.
The woman next to him quickly asked the man what is an oarfish, is it just an oarfish?
Mother Ye also asked excitedly: "Is this the emperor in the hairtail? That's why it grows so big, so it's called the emperor hairtail?"
Father Ye's face was full of black lines, "It's not a species, it just looks like it. This is also called an earthquake fish. Be more vigilant in the next few days."
"Huh? Earthquake fish? Could it be that an earthquake will occur if you catch this fish?" Ye Mu felt that her brain was not enough.
"It doesn't happen if you catch it, but the appearance of this fish means that there may be an earthquake or tsunami, otherwise it won't run up from the deep sea to take refuge." Ye Yaodong quickly explained.
The couple on the fishing boat next to them also heard the explanation. The woman suddenly realized, but the man was a little curious, "Take a look at the oarfish and see what it looks like. I heard the old man say it before, but I really didn't see it. Pass."
"See you later."
Ye Yaodong greeted his parents and asked them to wait on the boat first before getting off the boat. He had to call for the tractor first, so as not to delay it. It was already dark.
