Chapter 314 The fish scramble to land first
"Hiss~Male Gobi, I was bitten..."
Ye Yaodong listened to the familiar swearing words, looked up at Lin Guangyuan, was speechless, and just followed him, otherwise, if Ah Qing was here, he would definitely be scolded, half-grown kids like to imitate grown-ups and swear.
"Be careful, don't get your hands caught."
"I was pinched just now, but fortunately the crab is not big, so it hurt a little."
Ye Chenghai looked at him with contempt, "You are so useless, you can still be bitten when you catch crabs?"
"I'm not from the seaside."
"Hurry up and catch them, they will all run away..."
Ye Yaodong bent over all the time, as long as it was in front of him, regardless of size, he picked them up in buckets or sacks.
"Speak without delaying work!"
The two boys carried the bucket, and as long as it was half full, they would take it and pour it into the sack. They didn't feel tired after going back and forth, they just chattered non-stop.
"Ma De, so many people come at once, can't they go ashore one by one?"
"Do you think you're queuing up for dinner? It's a beautiful idea, and you want to ask them to line up if you die?" Ye Yaodong replied to Lin Guangyuan while scratching.
"Why do they go ashore at night?"
"Because at night, the environment on the shore is relatively quiet, and there is less oxygen in the water at night, so a large number of crabs will crawl ashore to move ashore or look for food. You have been talking incessantly, so they were scared away. "
"Huh? Like this? Then shut up, shut up, and stop talking!"
"Stupid, aren't they already crawling into the sea?"
The crabs went ashore for a while, and then turned their heads and crawled into the sea one after another. At this time, the three of them wished they had three heads and six arms. It would be a pity if they ran away, it was all money.
Fortunately, the sea water is receding, extending their way back to the sea a bit, allowing them to catch for a while longer.
But after catching about 20 minutes before and after, all the crabs on the shore ran away and went into the water.
The three carried buckets and continued to catch in the water. Before they swam too far, they could go in to catch for a while.
They didn't go ashore until both buckets were half full and there were no more crabs in the shallow water around them.
"It's a pity that there are no nets around the shallows, otherwise we can catch them all in one go."
"Have caught a lot."
"That's right, we all grabbed half a bag, it must be twenty or thirty catties."
Ye Yaodong poured all the crabs in the bucket into the sack, stretched out his hand to lift the bag, and said with satisfaction: "It's about 20 catties, the main reason is that each of them is quite big. One bag should be more."
"Get rich~" Ye Chenghai said happily.
"It's just a small fortune. I'll give you pocket money if I sell it tomorrow."
Lin Guangyuan said happily: "The tide just went out, let's look for it again, there must be other goods, just now I was busy catching crabs."
"Yes, yes, yes, look again, there must be something else."
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, only an hour had passed, the tide had just receded to the bottom, and the tide had not risen so quickly, it was all out, so let's go shopping again.
"Go to the reef area and have a look. Let's throw these two bags here first, so as not to have to carry them around. Anyway, no one comes out in the middle of the night, and you are too full."
"Third uncle, you are the same, too full!"
"Well, I'm really too full, and I'm in a panic. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and went out to explore the sea with you. After two days, I won't be so leisurely. Let's go, hurry up, and go home to sleep after finishing it."
As a result, before he had gone far, Ye Yaodong felt a little bit of **** under his feet, and the flashlight also shone on the surface of the beach, and suddenly a lot of sandworms appeared again.
"Huh? Little uncle, there are sandworms..."
Ye Yaodong stepped on his feet and took a look. There were already many strips under his feet that were half flattened by him, and half of them were still in the sand, and he hadn't had time to get out.
"On the night of the full moon, they come out to mate and multiply. Catch as many as you can."
Needless to say, the two boys stepped forward excitedly and squatted down to fish in the bucket.
Hearing the familiar sound of shaking sacks, Ye Chenghai raised his head in surprise, "Third Uncle, how many sacks do you carry with you? How can you find them out at any time?"
"You care about me? Hurry up and work, don't be long-winded."
He still has it on him, just in case he needs it. Hai Xing has a long memory for him that time without a sack.
"We should wake up everyone, what a pity, it's just the three of us, how can we catch it?"
"Catch as much as you can, little uncle, how about frying another pot at noon tomorrow?"
"It's not you who should be scolding, so you don't care? Don't think about it, fry leeks tomorrow."
…
While muttering, they grabbed another half of the bag. At this time, the three of them were already tired and their necks were sore.
"Hey, there are too many little seafood, it's really worrying if you can't pick them up..."
"Yes, there are more sandworms at night than during the day, and it is impossible to catch them all. I caught so many during the day, and more appeared at night."
"Tired? Go back to sleep when you're tired, it's almost enough."
Although it's a pity that we didn't catch them all, but if we catch too many, it will be troublesome to clean them up. Let's keep them for sustainable development.
"No, I'm not sleepy!"
"Okay, anyway, I won't get up tomorrow, and I wasn't the one who was beaten, so you guys grab it slowly here, and I'll go around for a while."
I happened to be a little tired, so I went around the nearby reef to see if there was any harvest, and I didn't come back to continue.
"I want to go too…"
"You guys are here to catch, who knows if there is something in front, don't delay."
The two boys could only look up at him while talking and slipping.
"Why do I feel that little uncle is being lazy, and then let us do coolies here!"
"Don't think that he just treats us like labor, I see him through."
"Damn! People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!"
…
Listening to the muttering of the two and a half adults behind him, Ye Yaodong twisted his neck while walking, rubbed his waist, looked at the darkness in the distance, and thought to himself that he didn't come with his bad friend, otherwise, you would be scared I, I scared you, there is nothing to do.
His headlamp shines on the ground from time to time, and from time to time shines on the reef not far away. While walking, he also picks up several opis that are buried in the sand with only the breathing holes exposed.
I didn’t want to pick it at first, but who let him see the hole. If I don’t pick it, I will feel itchy...
It feels comfortable when you pick it up, the soft meat on it feels particularly decompressed, and it can also spit out water, which is particularly fulfilling.
After approaching, he saw densely packed small barnacles and small mussels on the reef, but he ignored them directly. The small ones were not as big as his booger.
Looking down at the gaps around the reef and the reef carefully, he really made him pick up two ghost-head crabs.
At this moment, he heard the sound of water splashing non-stop in his ears. Out of curiosity, he directly shone the headlight on the surrounding sea surface. Under the shaking of the headlight, the sea surface was extremely calm.
He was a little puzzled, but just as he was about to turn his head, a silver-white slender figure appeared in the light of the headlamp, and even jumped out of the water.
"Huh?"
He stopped moving his head around and took a closer look. Just as he was about to take a closer look at what kind of fish it was, he found that there were more and more white figures gathering in the halo of light, and they were scrambling to jump non-stop. was scattered in all directions.
Was it just the sound of these fish jumping around?
He continued to move his head curiously, letting the headlight shine to the side, but saw the small group of fish following one after another, surrounded by the light circle.
Phototaxis!
Many fish are phototaxis!
That's why there is a way of fishing with lights.
He walked towards the school of fish and turned his head around. Unexpectedly, he saw a group of silver-white fish on the edge of the reef in the shallow water, but their backs were blue. Under the bright light, they jumped up and down. It became more active, and the water splashed non-stop.
"Fuck, so many? No wonder there's so much movement!"
"What? Third Uncle? What are you talking about?" Hearing him talking to himself, but couldn't make out what he was saying, Ye Chenghai shouted loudly.
"Bring me the manuscript net next to you!" Ye Yaodong also shouted at them, and then continued to move forward.
Wherever his headlight shines, the fish will follow the light.
When he got closer, he saw that these were anchovies.
The silvery white is the color of its belly, which is more obvious at night.
Anchovy is a small fish with strong phototaxis, so he didn’t notice it when his headlight first shone on the sea surface. After a while, the anchovy was attracted and he swam over to see it. The longer the photo time, the more and more.
Ye Chenghai heard his third uncle told him to copy the net with his hands, and he immediately ran over excitedly with Lin Guangyuan.
"Why are you copying the net by hand, third uncle?"
"Catch fish!"
"Ah, there are fish! There are so many!" Ye Chenghai also saw it after running over.
Lin Guangyuan also kept using a flashlight to shine on the sea surface, and said with bright eyes: "Wow~ little uncle, what kind of fish are these? Why are there so many of them? Hurry up and catch them~"
As he spoke, he gave Ye Chenghai the flashlight and rushed forward...
Ye Yaodong grabbed him by the back collar and pulled him back, "What's the matter with you? Wait here for me!"
Then he snatched the handwritten net from Ye Chenghai's hand, "We're all waiting here, take a photo with a flashlight, and I'll go get it."
"I don't have a flashlight, I'll go and help fish it out."
Ye Yaodong pulled him back who was rushing forward again, "Just a hand-made net, what do you use to fish it? Take off your clothes to fish it?"
"It's not impossible..."
Ye Yaodong glared at him, "Be honest!"
Lin Guangyuan wrinkled his face, and looked at Ye Yaodong sadly, "You said you have already come out, why don't you bring one more?"
"How did I know there would be fish? I brought them casually. There is only one at home, and the others are on the boat. Wait here."
He stepped forward to the shallow water beach, and under the light of the light, anchovies scrambled towards the shore.
Immediately afterwards, the fish next to him squeezed in to fill the gap.
"What kind of fish is this, little uncle, you haven't even said it yet, this fish is so small, it's as long as my palm, and thin."
"This is anchovy, we also call it sea anchovy, and it can be used to make fish sauce."
