Fifty nets are really a lot. By 12:00 noon, they only collected 18 nets, mainly because it took about an hour on the way out, and another two hours were collected for longline fishing.
But one more person will be more efficient. According to the next process, you should be able to barely collect the net when it gets dark. Even if you finish collecting, it will take another half an hour to an hour to put it down. It will still be seven or eight o'clock when you go back. .
However, the longline fishing will not be retracted tomorrow, so we should be able to reach the shore when it just gets dark.
It's too difficult, it's hard to make money!
No money to earn, even more difficult!
It's not easy.
Ye Yaodong saw that it was time for dinner, but the most important thing was that he was also hungry, so he stopped after taking away the net in his hand.
"You guys collect the fish first, I'll go and heat up the food, and the food is ready after collecting."
"Go."
Smelling the delicious bone soup, he became even hungrier. Fortunately, he ate dry rice in the morning, otherwise he wouldn't last until noon.
After feeling that the radish skull soup in the pot had boiled, he scooped out a bowl first and drank it. Putting the rice on top, it didn’t heat up so quickly.
He turned his mouth a few times before calling others to come and drink soup first.
"Sliced dried radish stewed with pig's skull tastes better, and adding a little rice wine will make it more fragrant. After drying the fish tomorrow, ask Ah Qing to add some dried radish."
"I'll call you Mother Sun on the weekend."
"That's right, Ah Qing is too busy, so I have to ask my mother to do it. On the weekends, I can also ask a few boys in the family to pull carrots. They love to do this kind of thing."
Ye Yaosheng listened enviously, but just smiled, only drank the soup and did not speak.
After a simple and quick lunch, they continued to work without stopping.
As Ye Yaodong expected, they did not collect all the nets until it was dark.
He breathed a sigh of relief, checked the time, and then continued to put the net on the spot, putting the net that was collected earlier.
"Tomorrow, I will work all day. Collect the net and take it back to wash and dry it in the sun. Otherwise, there will be too many things sticking to the net, and the fish should be vigilant, and the stock will be reduced."
This kind of fishing net is easy to catch fish because it is transparent in the water.
"Let's see it tomorrow, today's harvest is okay, some of them are a little bit broken, it doesn't matter."
Ye Yaosheng couldn't help but said: "If the net is taken back to be washed and dried tomorrow, then the longline fishing can be released tomorrow, released tomorrow, and collected the day after tomorrow. Anyway, the sticky net is not released the day after tomorrow, so you can come over quickly."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right. When I get back at night, I'll ask someone to clean it up. When I'm drying the fishing nets, I'll put the longlines in. It's just staggered, and I can make money at both ends."
"I'm envious of how easy it is for you to make money, much easier than ours."
"Just work hard and add a little luck. Everyone depends on the sky. No one is better than the other. You are just almost lucky."
He just knows a little more, and sometimes he is a little bolder, or dares to think.
Ye Yaosheng smiled and shook his head, "Go slowly! Take your time."
Father Ye went to sail the boat, Ye Yaodong re-lowered the nets, and Ye Yaosheng sorted out the remaining fishing nets, and by the way, sorted out the things on the boat, and each performed his duties.
Just when he was stacking the goods neatly, he saw the good thing in the corner that was covered with a cloth and nylon bag.
He went over to touch it, patted it and asked, "Dongzi, what is your machine? It looks like a small machine? I think it has been piled up for a long time, and you don't seem to touch it. I wanted to ask when it was a jellyfish."
Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked over, and saw what he was talking about.
He told a few of them before that it was borrowed, and he had to return it, and told everyone not to touch it, so that he would not be able to explain to others if he bumped into it. Unexpectedly, Brother Asheng asked again at this moment.
"This is a small machine that I borrowed from others before. It is useless now and I plan to return it. But my friend said there is no rush and put it with me first, so I haven't touched it."
"oh."
"You don't need to worry about it, just let it pile up there."
"I just saw it out of curiosity. I heard that you were going to return it before, but I didn't expect it to still be there. It seems to take up space."
"Well, don't worry about it."
Ye Yaodong felt that it was time to tidy up the cabin and move this in so that no one would have to ask when they got on the boat.
Put this thing in the cabin, and lift it out when you need to use it, save it and put it outside.
Father Ye also kept looking at him, wondering why no one could see his launching machine.
Actually, it’s not because I’m afraid of being seen, but to avoid unnecessary troubles. After all, no matter what people go into the water, they are naked dives, and there are a lot of real skills.
"well."
Now the nights are getting longer and longer. When the winter solstice comes, that night will be the longest night in the year, because the winter solstice is the longest night in the year in the northern hemisphere.
After the winter solstice, it will start to gradually shorten again, until the summer solstice, and the days become long and the nights short again.
After putting down the nets one by one, Ye's father increased his horsepower and moved to the shore.
Ye Yaodong also just went to check today's goods received. Since the morning, he has been rushing to collect the net, and he has no time to pay attention to how many goods he has received.
You can only see what fish are there when the fishing net is collected. Is there any strange ones, or are they big? But today there really isn't any.
Yesterday there were still three otters, but today's goods are super common, so he is not in a hurry to see how many he has received in total.
On the way back, I didn't expect to run into Uncle Lin by accident, and he landed so late today.
Everyone was in a hurry to go back, and they didn't have time to chat, so they just said hello when the boat approached, and then drove the boat by themselves.
After he landed, he saw that he had caught two otters, one big and one small, today.
"No wonder you are so late today, it turned out to be delayed by catching two otters, right?"
"Yeah, I happened to see a group of otters near the islands not far from Dao Town, and I wanted to try my luck to see if I could catch two? When I came back to the pier yesterday, I saw someone caught two. "
"Good luck."
"How much goods did you receive today? 50 sticky nets, are you busy?"
"It's really what you said, the two of them couldn't be busy at all. I didn't come back until nine o'clock in the evening yesterday. Today I specially asked Brother Asheng to help, so I came back early."
"That's why I only put 30 nets, otherwise the father and son would not be able to do it."
Father Ye smiled and said: "You are only one son, I don't know how easy it is, just do enough to eat, unlike I have three sons, I have to earn a little more, otherwise there will not be enough."
"The children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They all have their own boats to earn money, so what else do they share? We won't be able to work for a few years, and we can only go back to grow vegetables."
"That's not what I said. I rented the boat that the boss and the second brother worked together. I can't take it back at that time. I can only earn more money to compensate A Dong. There are many grandchildren in the family. , when the time comes, I can share a point with my grandchildren..."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes when he heard that, his father was only 50 years old, and he already thought that his son would divide the family property, and he would also distribute it to his grandson. If the two elders earned enough for them to grow old, he would be thankful that he didn't need the three brothers to support him .
After all, they still have 30 years to live, and the prices are soaring. If they save tens of thousands of yuan now, according to their urine, they are reluctant to eat and wear. After 30 years, hehe~ I still want to share the inheritance with my grandson...
"Don't go so far, Dad, let's wait until you earn your pension money first." After talking about his father, he said to Lin Jingye, "Uncle Lin's harvest is also very good today, and the boat is full. fish."
"It's not as good as you guys. You have more fishing nets, and you catch more goods. Don't worry about chatting, it's late, and we are probably the only ones left. The lights at the buying point are all turned off, so go and call Ah Cai over. "
"Hey, brother A Sheng help us to call A Cai over? He must not be asleep at this point, please help us run."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Uncle Lin finished carrying the goods on his own ship, the father and son ran over to help their family carry them. Seeing the harvest on their ship, they couldn't help being dumbfounded, tsk tsk.
"I know that you must have caught a lot of goods, but I didn't expect so much. It seems that they are twice as much as us."
"That's because we also received 1,000 row hooks today, so isn't there a lot of goods? If you do a lot of work, there will be more goods. We also specially hired an extra person to help."
"How much does it cost to hire one person? With so many goods, it's really a lot of money."
"It's okay, I don't need to do more, but I also bought a scroll wheel, so I have to earn back the capital no matter what."
"Good boy, it turns out that young people are more willing to spend their money, like an old guy in the next village. I met a father and son in Dongqiao Village yesterday, and the three of them worked hard there. As far as that efficiency is concerned, it's really true." It’s better to buy one and make money quickly.”
"That is to say, manpower is no match for machines."
"Lift first, first, you have too many."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome~"
Ye Yaodong had counted the number of baskets before. They caught more frogfish today, one more basket than yesterday, and they were generally a bit bigger. He estimated that there should be an extra one or two hundred catties.
However, the other fish goods are not too small. They still look like five or six hundred catties, but I don’t know if they are worth a little more. Compared with yesterday’s, there is probably not much fluctuation.
But today he also received longline fishing. According to his initial estimate, today it is estimated to be in the early 200s. After deducting the money for toad fish, it is still estimated to be around 156.
While they were waiting to be weighed there, a female voice yelled not far away. They were so startled that they all turned their heads and listened to the sound.
"What is the sound, who is calling?"
"It's very dark at night, who is still outside, what's the noise?"
"Who? Why did you hear the scolding again?"
