Lin Xiuqing's hands are also loose now, Ye Yaodong said to fry small fish to reward the child laborers in the afternoon, so she did.
After all, there are quite a lot of goods in the bucket full of goods that were brought back. There are really everything that one expects to find, such as fish, shrimp, crab, shells and conch.
"You don't need to cook it, you can steam it all in one pot, just dig out those few sea urchins and stew them with eggs."
"Understood, that night, fry a bowl of bamboo shoots dug in the morning, and cook a soup with Haiqing."
Ye Yaodong nodded, very satisfied with the dinner dishes, all of which are delicacies (bamboo shoots) and seafood (seafood) that they earned through hard work today!
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also had delicious dinners, each with a bowl of sea urchin steamed eggs, and the seafood picked up by their own labor. There is no one who does not like to eat the fruits of their labor.
Ye Yaodong got up at night before it was time to go out to sea, because after the rain and the sun cleared, Ah Zheng was going to the city to buy dried fish again, and by the way, he helped him transport a cart of dried fish to the city.
It rained a few days ago, but fortunately Ah Zheng didn’t collect much for the first time, all of them were collected in the corridor, and the empty room at home was hung up and the windows were opened for ventilation. Quickly took it out to dry.
Next, he thought that it should be sunny for a few days, and wanted to take the opportunity to get some more sun. It happened that the little daughter had a high fever yesterday because of the season change, so she was worried and wanted to repair for another day and not go out to sea at night.
After Ye Yaodong carried all the dried fish into the car and stacked them, he paid the fare on the spot, sent the person away, and then went into the house to prepare to go to sea.
Fortunately, I don’t go to sea every day, and Ah Zheng is helping me with the supply of goods now, otherwise he will be exhausted running back and forth.
Before dark, he had already moved all the sticky nets to be taken to sea to the cart, as well as the more than 50 shrimp cages, stacked them up together, and tied them to the cart with ropes to save them from falling and paying back. They have to go back and forth twice, and they will set off as soon as his father arrives.
However, he reckoned that the sticky net would not last for a few days, since it was spring and all the toadfish had returned to swim.
And these fishing nets are also a bit damaged. Although they don’t put them out many times after the year, they are very careful when harvesting fish, and they are folded well when recycling.
However, it is easy to be damaged after a long time of use. They are considered good, and they have not been replenished. His elder brother and second brother have already replenished a batch, and most people can't use them for so long.
But there are not many good ones, some are slightly damaged, some are slightly damaged, and the degrees are different, and they can be used barely.
He reckoned that the fishing nets would be scrapped after the toadfish season was over, but they could be eliminated now, just for recycling.
One spring rain, one warm, ten spring rains, wear single clothes.
Going out to sea at night, he could already clearly feel that the sea breeze blowing over was not so icy cold, but it was still a bit chilly. He thought it was just the temperature difference between morning and evening.
After they lowered all the fishing nets, the sun was high in the sky, and they no longer felt how cold it was, but the sea breeze blowing over was a bit warmer, and they could clearly smell the breath of spring.
"Father, there are about thirty-four of these sticky nets left. Judging by the degree of damage, it may not be usable after one or two times."
"Well, there's no need to mend it. It's just the beginning of spring. Let's trawl the net. Longline fishing can also be figured out and used."
"I think so too, you drive the boat forward, and I'll put down the shrimp pot by the way."
The technique of placing the shrimp cage is similar to that of the ground cage. The difference between the two is the size of the mesh, and the other differences are not big.
Ye Yaodong had already used ropes to tie all the cages together at a distance of 4-10 meters each, just like ground cages, in groups of ten, one end was tied with stones and thrown into the sea, and the other end was tied with a buoy and placed in the water.
During the period, he also threw in some small butt-sized fish that he saved from the mouths of chickens and ducks during the day, and used them as bait.
There were only 50 shrimp cages, not too many, and with Father Ye's cooperation, they were all released in less than an hour.
"Collect it when you go back in the evening, or come over tomorrow morning?" Ye Yaodong looked at his father, "Collect it in the evening, come out in the early morning, and collect it again?"
Normal shrimp pots are taken out in the evening, and then collected the next morning. If the next morning, the interval between them is a bit long.
"Let's see if there are too many goods in the trawl net later. If there is more, let's trawl one more net and don't need to collect it. Come and collect it tomorrow. If there are not many goods in the trawl net, we can collect it by the way before returning. Let's make up for it." number."
"That's okay."
Originally, these shrimp cages were all made up, but he is too lazy to put them in the ground cages now. There are too many types of fishnets. Save it for a spare.
For example, when the weather gets warmer, he plans to take the ground cage to the octopus island to store sea cucumbers and little green dragons. These good things should not be missed.
The weather is still too cold now, in case of water, people will not be able to carry it.
Ye Yaodong also dragged the large fishing net out of the cabin while speaking, and Father Ye also stepped forward to help tidy up the net.
"It's hard to say, it depends on luck."
The two ropes used to tow the net were originally piled up on the sides of the ship’s side panels. As soon as the net entered the sea, the cables were pulled quickly, like a snake, and they all entered the sea in just a few minutes.
After the fishing net sank into the sea, Ye's father went to work with the boat at a constant speed, Ye Yaodong also started to do nothing, he simply lay down on the edge of the boat and fell asleep.
Woke up too early at night, the sun was warm and he felt drowsy. It happened to be the time when the fishing boat was operating, so he could squint for a while before getting up, otherwise he would have to work for a whole day.
And he, when he ran a boat in his previous life, had already practiced the ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
Just sleeping on the edge of the boat, a little unsteady, it is normal for the fishing boat to shake during operation, but it was the waves brought up by the operation that woke him up.
After the waves hit the hull, a small part of the spray would erupt and scatter on his cheeks.
At first it was just a small wave, it ticked a few times, but he didn't care, turned his head and switched sides and continued to sleep.
It’s just that a wave of celestial maidens scattered flowers from behind, and a large number of water droplets dripped from the head. The wet feeling made him think it was raining heavily in his sleep, and he woke up immediately.
"It's raining!?"
When he came back to his senses, he looked at the sunny sky, wiped off the water droplets on his face, and stroked his steamy hair.
"It's the waves, I thought it was raining... Fuck, these waves really do not need oars to row a boat."
He touched the corner of his mouth again, but he couldn't tell whether it was saliva or sea water. He had just dreamed that he was driving a speedboat and opened a bottle of champagne. It was so beautiful...
spoil the fun...
Looking at the waves rolling on the sea, he felt that it would be better to sit on the side of the cabin and lean on it. He could sleep no matter whether he was sitting on his stomach or standing on his back.
However, before he left, he saw a strange golden fish on the sea, just a little bigger than a palm. "It seems to be a puffer fish? But why is it golden?"
The fishing boat was not moving fast because it was working, and it was floating beside it. Ye Yaodong saw a handmade net on the side deck of the boat, so he took it and stretched his hand to try it out. Although it was a little far away, but It was really picked up.
Father Ye watched his actions from a distance, and asked curiously, "What are you fishing for?"
"I saw a strange golden fish." He retracted the net and looked, "Uh, it's really a puffer fish, a golden puffer fish..."
He reached out and grabbed it out, and put it in the palm of his hand. Unexpectedly, it kept spitting at him, as if despising him?
despise him?
Still spurning him?
To keep spitting at him!
Your sister!
I don’t know how many of your brothers and sisters I have eaten, but I have never eaten golden ones.
It’s the size of a palm, and I don’t know how it grows into a golden color. He simply took a bucket of sea water and threw it in to raise it, so as not to kill it by holding it in his hand right now.
It’s just that before he could study why it was golden and whether it could be eaten, his father saw it when he went to collect the net, turned around and fell back into the sea, and it was too late for him to stop it.
"I caught them and put them in buckets. You can pour them out as you say, without asking me."
"What are you using it for? Do you still want to eat dried fugu again? People used to eat it to death."
"I'll just take a look, don't eat it, I see it's golden, I'm just curious and haven't seen it before."
"Gold is gold. You don't care what it is. It can't be eaten anyway. You can't know all the things in the sea. I came here to help collect the net. I just freed up the bucket for other things."
Because the value is different, the "treatment" of fishing goods is naturally different. Useless things can only be returned to ashes, dust to dust, sea to sea, and useful things are worthy of being brought back.
"There are so many baskets, are you afraid that there is nothing to put them in? How many tons of fish do you have to put in?" Ye Yaodong was dissatisfied, so he asked him anyway, he didn't even ask, he was just curious.
Father Ye didn't care about his complaints, "Hurry up and help, the net might explode, and the net lifting machine creaked."
"That means it's time for lube!"
"Nonsense~"
