The second net was pulled up early, so it took them less than 10 minutes to collect it.
This net of fish is not so heavy, but it is still over 30 catties, and there are several more sole fish and turbot.
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, it was already eight o'clock, and he had been out for almost two hours, but he only collected two nets. He also felt a sense of urgency.
What else is there to do? It's just a matter of time. He's busy today until it gets dark. He probably can't finish it.
"Dad, can you hurry up?"
The workload of fifty nets is not low. If the harvest is fast and the speed is fast, he estimates that they will have to spend a whole day, from morning to night.
Because when collecting the net, you must pay attention to collecting it in order. You can’t mess up the net because of catching fish.
Things are very cumbersome, and his father loves the fishing nets, and he is very careful when collecting fish. He will carefully pick up the garbage or grassroots seaweed that stick to the nets, and try not to mess around and damage the fishing nets.
With him behind to collect the fish and tidy the fishing nets, although Ye Yaodong felt at ease, his efficiency was a bit too slow.
If the machine turns here, it can be faster, but I am afraid that his father will not be able to catch the fish so fast, and he will be too busy, and he will be in a hurry and mess up the fishing net, which will be troublesome.
This kind of sticky net is most afraid of being in a mess. If it is in a mess, it is equivalent to scrapping.
Whether it is a one-time use depends on how you collect the net? If you store it well, you can use it several times. If some parts are damaged, the hook will not affect the use, but it is afraid of chaos, after all, the network cable is too thin.
Father Ye also felt that he was collecting too slowly, fearing that there would be so many nets that he would not be able to collect them all in one day.
"Why don't you collect the fish faster? I'll catch the nets at the back, and then I'll put the nets on the table first, and then collect the fish one by one? Or come over to help pick up the fish after collecting two or three nets. , so it can be faster."
"OK, try it!"
If you don’t speed up the progress, you really can’t finish it.
No wonder Uncle Lin knew that he had set 50 nets and longlines, so he said that he must hire someone, otherwise he would not be able to catch them all.
He originally wanted to collect it today and try it out, but now it seems that the 50 dipped nets alone may not be enough to collect, let alone the longline fishing.
However, you still have to collect it and try it out first.
The rope of Ye Yaodong's third net had just been hung up, and he had only turned five or six meters before he immediately speeded up. Father Ye was pulling the fishing net behind him, and stopped picking up the fish slowly, and put the whole net neatly into the net. On the table, ready to pick it up later.
It wasn't until Ye Yaodong quickly collected three nets that it was difficult to put them on the table, then he stopped collecting the nets, and together with his father, he first released the fish from the nets.
"There are not many online products these days, most of them are toad fish."
"Well, there are also two golden pomfrets, so it's okay."
"Golden pomfret is not as good as white pomfret, so-so... Hey, what the hell~ Dad, are those otters still there?"
Ye Yaodong was talking, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw several otters appearing on the water again. He was pleasantly surprised, and pointed in the direction for his father to look.
They move forward and backward, left and right in the water, roll freely, and swim like drawing circles. Their behavior looks a little cute.
"Is it still there? Haven't found a place to go ashore yet?"
Otters generally live in coastal salty and freshwater areas, and they often go fishing in the sea. Therefore, otters are also distributed in some small islands near the coast.
Although their side is by the sea, there is an island town nearby. There is a quite large freshwater lake in the island town, which happens to belong to the junction area of salty and fresh water.
"It just so happens that the net is not being collected at the moment, let's drive over to see if we can catch it?" Father Ye saw so many that he was only on the sea, and his eyes were a little greedy.
Ye Yaodong nodded, there are still decades before they become protected animals, and it can be said that this is the most time, if they are not caught, they will not be caught, and when they become protected animals, he will not catch them.
He is a principled person. He catches what he can catch, and he doesn’t catch what he can’t.
I just didn’t expect these otters to be quite vigilant. It may be that they have just experienced a wave of stimulation. As soon as they approached, they all dived into the water to hide in advance when they heard the sound.
"Come on, I missed it again, forget it."
Father Ye also said regretfully: "Forget it, let's untangle all the goods in the fishing net first."
"Um."
The father and son continued to work on the fishing nets in their hands. After the contents of the three bowls were taken out, the fishing nets were smoothed out and knotted, Ye Yaodong continued to collect the nets again.
They kept repeating the following, but what they didn't expect was that in the afternoon, when they were halfway through collecting the fishing nets, Ye Yaodong's scroll wheel turned on another otter, and this time it was an adult. Otters, no longer cubs.
This made the father and son happy.
"It's called breaking through iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it. It took no effort to get it. I didn't expect to catch it in the morning but couldn't catch it. In the afternoon, I caught one."
"Catch it first, tie it up, and save it from running away." Father Ye ran over excitedly and took the net in his hand.
"Then you take it, I'll go to the cabin to get the rope."
"Um."
Father Ye happily grabbed the otter. Seeing that its limbs were wriggling about to scratch someone, he quickly took it away.
While waiting, he took a look into the water when he had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, he was pleasantly surprised again.
"Dongzi, Dongzi, and the otter!"
Ye Yaodong heard his father's shout, and quickly stuck his head out of the cabin. He was still holding a pair of scissors, and was about to cut the rope.
"There are still two in the fishing net, so cut two more ropes."
"Anything else? Got it?"
Ye Yaodong simply and quickly cut a few more strips, and then ran over quickly. The shaking of the boat only made him unsteady and staggered a little, but he couldn't fall.
As soon as he ran over, he asked, "Is there anything else, Dad?"
"Yes, yes, I just stretched my head out to have a look, and I saw half of the nets hanging on the side of the boat, there were two more inside, one was hanging in the air, and the other was still soaked in the fishing nets in the water .”
Ye Yaodong stretched out his head and saw it, "It's ok, catch three in one net, tie up this one first, and then turn the remaining two up."
"Hey hey."
The value of these three is estimated to be sixty or seventy yuan, which can barely cover what they earned today.
The two quickly turned the remaining two up and tied them up, but who knew that there was actually a cub at the end of this fishing net.
Ye Yaodong grabbed the small thing in his hand, and he didn't know if it was the one he caught before. Seeing that the cub was not as good as the one he caught before, he didn't know if it was because the three adult otters on the boat were barking. This bird has been moving around fiercely.
He patted the head of this one, "Stop barking, or you will be stewed."
After speaking, move your hand to the surface of the water, then let it go and let it fall into the water.
Father Ye only felt a little pity, "There is another one."
"Sustainable development, the disaster is not as good as the small family, keep the big and abandon the small."
"What a mess of talking... Hurry up and work, I can't finish it until dark today."
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch again, it was almost three o'clock, and there were always intermittent delays. In fact, they had already speeded up, but they still couldn't finish.
"The longline can only be kept for one more day. Come and collect it tomorrow morning. Go back tonight and ask someone to help you on the boat."
"We have to hire someone, otherwise there will be too many and we won't be able to finish the job. It will be more efficient to ask someone to help collect the fish together."
"Well, brother Asheng?"
"It's fine, anyway, we are all on our own, and your Brother Asheng is also very difficult. It's good to take care of him more, let him save more money, and marry a better man."
"The daughter-in-law that people told him is not good at all. The man is not dead yet, and he is still half-dead there. I don't know when I can get married. Why do I want to come here? If you want to have a son, you don't necessarily have to give birth. A woman who had a son."
Ye Yaodong doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but he has been with this cousin for two months, and he feels that he is stable and reliable. It can be believed that he is the first thing he thinks of now when he wants to hire someone.
The big cousin and the second cousin are also reliable, but it's just pity that they don't have Ye Yaosheng.
Of course this family member can pull it out, just pull it out.
"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What can I do? I can only let him save more money. If a man has money, he will have enough confidence. At that time, he can marry whoever he wants."
"Well, that's the reason. If the family is rich, what kind of daughter-in-law can't marry?"
The father and son chatted while working.
Father Ye saw that his stall was so big this time and he was still too busy, so he didn't say anything, he didn't say anything.
I have been convinced subtly, and I only think about how to help solve the problem.
The two get along more and more harmoniously.
Ye Yaodong also felt that his father was not pleasing to the eye in various ways at the beginning, but now the two can chat calmly and solve problems through discussion, which is a great improvement.
I don’t know whether I think his father has made great progress, or he himself has made great progress, or both.
From dawn to dark, the father and son collected all the nets and let them down again.
There is no way to collect the longline fishing anymore, so we can only continue to let it sway with the waves in the sea. Tomorrow we will have to try our luck on how much we can collect. Fortunately, it is cold now, even if the fish dies, we can still release them for one or two fish. sky.
The longline fishing that was released yesterday will be collected tomorrow, with a one-day interval in between. It should not be a big problem. As for the struggling fish, there is no way.
But today's harvest is really explosive!
Return with full rewards!
It is true that the boat was full of fish. The boat was full of baskets, and they were all stacked on top of each other.
At first glance, they are all toad fish, slimy and ugly, but it can't stand the large amount of them.
The number of this fish will overflow in winter.
Today, the toad fish alone harvested almost 1,200 catties.
Other fish products also received five or six hundred catties, and the harvest was very gratifying.
Including those three otters, today’s harvest is estimated to exceed 200 yuan, which is not in vain for him to spend almost 700 on the scroll wheel.
With the addition of fishing nets, the cost is directly returned by 1/4 today.
It’s just a pity, this kind of fishing net takes three days to fish and two days to dry the net.
