Chapter 324 Unexpected Surprise
The time card was very good. The second net was pulled up. This time there was no doubt that the whole net was mostly skinned fish, weighing more than 200 catties. Only a small part of it was miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crab, and some horses. mackerel.
It is heavy, but fortunately there is a net lifting machine.
"Good guy, this net is much heavier than the one just now, with so many densely packed fish."
"This is the benefit of meeting fish schools. You can get a lot of fish in one net, which is better than netting some groceries."
The two of them poured out the goods while talking, and then packed up the fishing nets.
"Clean up here for me, you go and collect the ground cage, I don't know if it will get stuck again."
"It's okay, if you get stuck, go into the water again. You won't be able to pick them up in a while. You can figure it out, or cook something to eat first."
He is also a little hungry, it is already noon, and he will go into the water when he is full, and he will have more energy.
Otherwise, he is afraid that he will get busy soon and really have no time to eat.
"what time is it?"
"It's half past eleven."
Father Ye also dropped the work at hand when he heard the words, and went to cook the noodles first.
Ye Yaodong also slowed down to bring the boat closer to the buoy around the reef. Before, it was put down in the early morning and picked up in the afternoon. Now there is a day's interval, so the harvest should be a little more.
With anticipation in mind, he pulled up the ground cage and looked at the gratifying 4-5 sea cucumbers and a few small blue dragons inside, as well as a lot of squids, small fish and shrimps. He was very satisfied, and he still had to put one Two days, the harvest is good.
Poured the goods into the bamboo basket, and he continued to reel, not emptying any of them, except for sea cucumbers and little green dragons, there were quite a lot of squids.
Father Ye couldn't help but ran over to see the harvest, and forgot to put down the small pot lid still in his hand, "It's quite a lot. It's good to keep it for a day or two. There are quite a lot of squid here."
"They should all come here to lay eggs."
Ye Yaodong continued to close it while talking, but found that he couldn’t pull it, "Oh? It got stuck again, probably because it was hit by the waves again."
"How many more?"
"4 more."
"The noodles are ready, eat before going down, and have more energy."
He nodded.
Even his mother has never eaten anything cooked by his father. How lucky he is, he ate it all because it was so salty, but it is really necessary to ask.
Otherwise, the whole day is either too salty, too sweet, or tasteless. After so long, it has not improved. This is certainly not an accident.
"Father, do you not know the difference between sugar and salt?"
"Why can't I tell the difference? The salt particles are so big, and I'm not blind. I put crabs in today and didn't wash them, so it's a little salty. In the past, the boat was rickety, and it was poured out from time to time. You can just eat it, or you will cook it in the future."
"Fine."
After eating and drinking, he took off his clothes, put on his equipment, moved his limbs briefly, and then jumped into the water, diving straight into the sea.
Originally, he wanted to find the ground cage first, and then find time to find sea cucumbers to dig abalones, but he saw a school of squids halfway through the dive.
It's a school of squid!
Ye Yaodong stared wide-eyed, stopped his dive, and stayed where he was, only to see patches of squid swimming towards him in the water in the distance.
Excitedly, he swung his flippers and swam towards the squid group, only to find that they were swimming very fast. Before he swung a few times, the squids who were still some distance away were almost in front of him.
Just as he was about to avoid it, a piece of black ink enveloped him in the shape of smoke, like a "smoke bomb" cast, instantly blurring his vision.
He swam to the side in shock, couldn’t see, so he bumped into several squids unexpectedly, and the thick ink around him became thicker, groups of squids released smoke bombs together, one can imagine...
Squid can generally cast smoke bombs five or six times in a row for more than ten minutes, and can blacken 5,000 liters of water within 5 minutes.
Ye Yaodong realized that moving to the side was fruitless, so he dived down, avoiding the thick smoky ink.
Looking up from the bottom, he could see a particularly obvious cloud of black mist that was constantly spreading and diluting, and the squids were also swimming forward, and a few of them were still swimming downstream.
He thought that the ovipositors he dropped before were nearby, so he wasn't in a hurry to float up. This group of squids obviously migrated to lay eggs, so there was no need to catch up to them in a short while, and he had to go down first to get the ground. Find the cage and put it away.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a ground cage, the key is that there are still a lot of goods in it, and there are several connected to the back, so it doesn’t take much time to find it and rescue it.
He watched the black mist gradually dilute, the surrounding water became clear again, and the squid swam far away, so he continued to dive.
In case the ground cage at the back would also get stuck, after he rescued it, he simply swam along the other end of the ground cage.
Now let him go to the bottom of the sea to find sea cucumbers and catch little green dragons. He must have no patience. Why don't he get rid of the ground cage and go up directly.
Following the line at the other end of the ground cage, he swung his flippers and swam forward. He saw that there were indeed a lot of squid gathered around the coral reef, and there were many squid eggs hanging in strings or piles on the coral reef. Like sea grapes.
He swam all the way and looked all the way. The squids that had finished laying eggs did not die immediately, and they were still staying around the coral reef.
He could only follow closely, but fortunately he found it all the way.
Just as he took the last ground cage out of the hooked gap and put it on the sandy bottom of the sea, he found that there were many black triangular objects inserted into the sandy bottom of the sea around this place.
The light at the bottom of the sea is not good, and there is no sun today, and it rained yesterday, so the sight of the bottom of the sea is not so clear today, so he squatted down on purpose.
Damn it! Jiang Yan!
Scallops!
After a closer look, he recognized that the black clam was Jiang Ye.
There is a saying along the coast: sea cucumber, abalone, Jiangyao shellfish.
Don’t look at the size of the scallop inserted on the seabed, but after prying it open, you can only get fingertip-sized stigma meat.
Hmm... Jiang Yao is also called Jiang Yao.
In ancient times, it was a treasure of tribute to the royal family. Although it can be bought everywhere in supermarkets, large scallops are still expensive.
Because not all milk is called milk deluxe, and not all scallops are called scallops!
But scallops are big scallops, the bigger the more expensive.
Dried scallops are only dried products of miscellaneous shellfish. Only the dried scallops are called scallops. Most of the scallops sold in the market are made of the adductor muscle of cheap miscellaneous shellfish.
Dried scallops are often used by merchants to pretend to be scallops in the market. Although the taste and nutritional value of the two are not much different, the word "big" is what everyone compares when eating seafood products!
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw so many river scorpions clustered in groups on the bottom of the sea, like a stone forest on the bottom of the sea.
The living Jiangyan is inserted into the bottom of the sea, with the big head up, so that the shell can open to catch prey. Once settled, they never move for life.
The shells of these Jiangxiong are covered with epiphytes, like monuments.
He took the lead in pulling out the biggest one in front of him. It was wide at the top and pointed at the bottom. It looked like mussels, but it was larger than mussels, more than 20 centimeters long. He weighed it and found it weighed about a catty.
It may be because no one has been involved. The size is much larger than the ones he has seen in his previous life. The ones he has seen before are only a dozen centimeters, and one is about 4 to 5 taels.
I didn’t expect that there are so many rivers standing on the seabed not far away. The seabed is really amazing.
I have been wandering around the reef before, just for the convenience of finding sea cucumbers and digging abalones. I don’t have extra time to wander around, and my heart is not so wild. I didn’t expect to find such a windfall in a ground cage today. His tears of joy It's almost dripping from the corner of my mouth.
But time is running out now, and it will take a long time to come down. It is not the time for him to dig.
When the ground cages that had just been untied beside him were pulled up, he also pulled out a few and put them in the net pocket, and hurriedly floated up.
When he came up, he encountered a group of squids again. This time, he didn’t dare to wait there to watch, lest he would fall into the smoke bomb again, and it was time for him to snorkel.
When he avoided the squid swarm and rushed to the surface, he realized that he was a little far away from the fishing boat.
Usually, he docks at a fixed location and then goes into the water. Every time he goes to the bottom of the sea, he is not far from the reef, and when he comes up to the surface, he is often around the fishing boat.
Fortunately, swimming is what he is good at. After surfacing to rest for a while, he swam directly towards the fishing boat.
But at this time he also discovered that his father seemed to be casting a net? He avoided the direction where the fishing net was thrown and swam quickly.
When his father was lifting the net, he also swam to the side of the boat, "Squid?"
"Yes, you come up first."
As soon as Ye Yaodong got on the boat, he didn't bother to tell his father that he found a piece of squid on the bottom of the sea, and took the lead in helping him pull up the net of squid.
"Grass, it's not light!"
Father Ye said happily: "A group of squids also swam over when you entered the water. I didn't prepare for it at first. When I took the fishing net and prepared to cast it, they had already swam over."
"You pulled such a long pipe under the ground again, I didn't dare to sail, I could only watch them swim away. Fortunately, I just pulled up the ground cage, and now another group came. My net Always at hand, just in time."
He untied the fishing net as he spoke.
A bunch of squids were scattered on the deck, some of them were pitch black. During the process of being pulled up, they were stained by their own smoke bombs.
Ye Yaodong picked up a squid and touched it, and found that the stomach was full of rice. He also said happily: "Go to the ovum tree branch later, and I will definitely catch more."
