Ye Yaodong has been busy collecting fishing nets, but he didn't pay attention to it carefully. He only looked up after hearing what his father said, and found that the boat had indeed not moved for a long time.
No matter whether it is trawling or collecting the net, the boat is moving at a constant speed. It will only stop for a while when the fishing net has been collected and the net has not been lowered.
"Did someone's ship break down? But I didn't see anyone asking for help. We are right here. If there is a problem and we need help, he must have waved the little red flag."
"That's right, is it sorting after hauling the net? Sorting fish? Impossible."
"Well, after collecting the nets, we must tidy up and re-download the nets immediately, and then sail alone, and one person puts the nets and tidies up. Forget it, don't worry about others, anyway, it doesn't affect us, whatever. How long did they float on the sea, how long did they stop."
"I'm afraid that something will happen to me. Many people die at sea every year. Two days ago, I heard that two corpses floated to the shore of the pier one after another. People who lived near the pier saw it, and several families gathered together. Drag the corpse up, pull it up the mountain and bury it."
Ye Yaodong also heard Lin Xiuqing say it at home, it was from his neighbor's sister-in-law.
"Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less, who knows what kind of people are on the opposite boat?"
Don't be a disgusting person, when the time comes to find trouble for yourself, his father is still too simple.
"Okay then, let's drag our net, and if someone passes by later, we will take another look at that time."
"Well, put it in an Internet cafe."
After the father and son said a few words, they started to work again, but they kept paying attention to the boat in the distance.
The boat still didn’t move when they lowered their fishing nets and moved forward at a constant speed.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help being a little curious, why did he just stop there?
Everyone is trying to tow as much cargo as possible at sea, just tow a little more cargo, why waste time stopping there?
Pooping, sticking out the butt, the boat is also working.
After driving around the sea area, he couldn't help but get closer to the other ship. He wanted to say that he was working normally anyway, and it was normal to get closer during the trawling process.
Because he thought of it, when they encountered a school of fish, their family’s boat would also stop there to catch a lot of special fish, but they didn’t stay for as long as they did, because the school of fish was moving, and they had to open it after one or two nets The boat went in pursuit.
There was one time when a group of electric rays accidentally caught electric fish, and suddenly there were densely packed small yellow croakers floating on the sea surface, and they stayed for a long time to catch them.
Thinking of this, he was also a little excited, but don’t really encounter some fish, that boat was fishing there, so it stopped for so long.
"Father, the boat is still not moving, let's go over and take a look?"
"Well, let's go and have a look. I told you just now that I asked you to go and have a look."
"Isn't this afraid of causing unnecessary trouble? But it does feel a bit abnormal, so let's trawl the net normally and take a look."
In case they do encounter a school of fish, they can also get a share.
"Um."
Ye Yaodong slightly adjusted the direction, the boat was still traveling at a constant speed of three to four nautical miles per hour, and did not speed up suddenly, lest the other party think they were going to do something.
As the distance got closer, the boat still didn't move, and some of them just drifted and swayed with the waves.
Gradually, they also saw the people on the boat. It seemed that there were two people lying on the edge of the boat.
Moreover, there seems to be something on the sea that keeps popping up there?
Ye Yaodong couldn't help being a little suspicious now, did they really encounter a school of fish? salvage?
Father Ye also stretched his neck to look over, and muttered, "Could it be that he ran into a school of fish? Otherwise, why would he stay still? What is that black thing? Is it a fish, so big? They are Stop there to catch those big fish?"
"There should be a big fish, otherwise it wouldn't stop there."
When the father and son talked, their hearts became a little hot.
"Get closer and you will know."
"Raise the net while driving, or you won't be able to stop later."
During the process of lifting the net, the fishing net cannot be stopped. Once stopped, the net will sink to the bottom.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for this net to be put down. There should not be much goods inside, and the speed of the net lifting machine is quite fast.
The eyes of the father and son have been staring at the front without moving away.
After getting closer, they also discovered that it was the boat of an acquaintance.
"Oh? The sign on the boat seems to belong to your Uncle Lin?"
Ye Yaodong also noticed it, and was a little familiar, "Really?! What a coincidence?"
are acquaintances, so they don't have to worry about getting close.
After the distance got closer and closer, they also confirmed that the ones that popped up from time to time on the sea surface were big fish.
"Hey, it doesn't look small when you look at it from a distance. You, Uncle Lin, are lucky. If I had known, I would have driven here earlier. Would you believe me when I told you to come and have a look?" Father Ye saw clearly, Sorry for being late.
Hindsight!
Ye Yaodong slandered a bit.
"Who knows? Aren't I afraid of getting into trouble? Did you forget the time we caught ambergris last year?"
"Who doesn't know how to get closer? It takes time to sail the boat, can it fly?"
Ye Yaodong kept talking back, but he also wanted to get closer. It's been so long, it's good to have some soup if he can't eat meat.
Both father and son expected to see a large school of fish when they approached, but they didn't expect that when they approached, Uncle Lin's boat suddenly started to move.
"Is this the end of fishing, or is the school of fish starting to move?"
Ye Yaodong didn’t say a word, but continued to drive forward, the fishing net was still being harvested, if the fish started to move, they couldn’t stop.
Father Ye didn't expect him to be able to answer. The two of them stayed together, so it's only strange that he could be sure of the situation.
Just to prepare early, he hurried to the cabin to take out his throwing net and get ready to avoid being caught blind in a while.
Until the last bit of their fishing nets were confiscated, they also saw a small black shadow on the sea ahead.
While Uncle Lin's boat was chasing after it, it cast and pulled the net there.
"And, and..."
Father Ye held the throwing net that had just been arranged in advance, and said excitedly.
Ye Yaodong also speeded up a little bit, followed, and slowed down after driving to the side of the fish school. Father Ye spotted the fish school and quickly cast the net out.
They didn't bother to say hello at this time, and planned to fish first before talking.
The two boats were one in front and one behind, with a small school of fish separated in the middle, and each cast and collected their nets.
Father Ye quickly collected the net after casting it out, then hung the net on the rolling wheel, and used the rolling wheel to collect the net.
Ye Yaodong kept an eye on the fishing nets trawled behind while sailing the boat, whether they were caught or not.
When Father Ye's hand-throwing net gradually gathered and pulled it to the side of the boat, they also saw clearly that the black shoal of fish was a school of black mullet.
"It's a mullet. No wonder you look at this small piece of black, and what kind of big fish is that that pops up from time to time in front? It looks a bit like a dolphin?"
"I'll get it right later, let's fish it up and have a look." Ye Yaodong has been paying attention to the front, back, left, and right, "This net is closed, let's pull the trawling net at the stern up from the stern slide first."
"good."
After the fishing boat on the opposite side finished collecting a net, Uncle Lin yelled at them: "So the boat in the distance just now is you? I thought it was who, you came a step late."
Father Ye yelled while closing the net: "We didn't know it was you, otherwise we would have leaned over a long time ago. Fortunately, we can catch a little bit."
"It's almost gone..."
It is indeed almost gone, only a small piece.
Ye Yaodong also saw baskets of black mullet on Uncle Lin's boat when his father was casting the net. The quantity was really quite a lot. According to his estimation, there should be thousands of catties. how many nets.
Ah~ They caught all the fish! The money was also earned by them, so he could only drink soup.
During the spawning period, mullets are particularly sensitive to the temperature and salinity of seawater. When winter comes, as the air temperature and seawater temperature drop, schools of mullets in the Northwest Pacific will go south in groups to find sea areas suitable for spawning.
Therefore, when the weather turns cold in December, the mullet often swims south along the west coast of the bay and spawns in the surrounding waters.
Not only black mullet, there are three big fish that look like sea pigs on Uncle Lin’s boat.
He also yelled at Uncle Lin, "Uncle, are there any sea pigs on your boat?"
"Yeah, that's why I said you were late. Just now a group of sea pigs led a group of black mullets to stay there just now, and it was dark and dense. I happened to run into it when I dragged the net there, so I quickly set up a net to salvage it. "
"Good Luck!"
"You also dragged the net nearby?"
"We have been trawling around here, but we didn't expect to meet you today."
"I just happened to trawl here. I always feel that there are a few more trawlers in the second half of the year. We also encountered one before you, so I came here."
There are more and more fishing boats, this is inevitable.
Ye Yaodong saw that Father Ye collected the throwing net and put it aside, and hurried to the stern to collect the fishing net. He also quickly stopped the boat and went to the stern to help.
The fishing net itself is very heavy, and it is difficult for one person to pull it up.
Just when he just ran to the stern, his father shouted: "Dongzi, come and help, there are two sea pigs inside!"
"Huh? Come here..."
He quickened his pace and ran over. His father was struggling to pull the fishing net, so he rolled up his sleeves and quickly started.
The two of them worked together to pull the trawl net onto the boat, and the two largest sea pigs inside were still twitching a few times.
"I didn't expect there to be a bargain that can be picked up, and I can get both ends at once."
Father Ye was also very happy, "It's okay, it's okay, I can still catch up, and I can drag it up to two ends, and I can sell it for a lot of money."
"Let's put it aside for now. I'll go sail the boat and see if I can catch up with the mullet school again. You go and pour out all the fish in your throwing net, and cast another net or two."
"Why…"
There is another one waiting for two o’clock, no, don’t wait, watch it tomorrow
