Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1245 What are you bragging about?
After a few brief words, everyone rushed to help deal with the situation. Those who didn't have gloves asked others to buy them.

Ye Yaodong kept all his basic tools on a small trawler. Recently, everyone had been using this small boat to do some sporadic fishing, so he simply asked someone to drive the boat over.

At this time, the advantage of having a large number of people on his ship was reflected. With just one order, a large number of people rushed to do the work.

Besides, there is no place to step on the deck. Once you step in, you will be wrapped by jellyfish. There is not even any space. How can you kill them?

Wearing gloves won't protect your arms, you'll get stung if you put your arms in.

He drove the boat over so that people could throw the jellyfish over one by one to kill them, and there would be a place to store them after they were all killed.

They had to borrow a boat to get the other boats over, but luckily the villagers' boats were nearby.

Ye Yaodong and his crew didn't care about other boats and started working busily.

After a while, locals were invited to other boats to help with the division. They simply brought a few stools and a long board and put them on the boat, so there was no need to move the jellyfish around.

Each boat had its own way of doing things and was very busy.

The locals on the shore had already been attracted and were standing on the shore watching the fun, pointing and guessing where they had salvaged the fish.

But they couldn't understand and didn't have time to communicate.

Ye Yaodong knew without hesitation that those people must have also guessed that they were salvaging from the trench.

The people who were invited to kill the animals were also asking on the boat next door. There was nothing hidden in the story. The boatmen began to talk excitedly about how they had gotten the goods while working.

The car that A Guang called arrived more than half an hour later. Their boats were now fully staffed and a lot of goods had been separated out, so they moved them downstairs to be weighed and put in the bags.

After a truck is full and takes away, another truck will come to pick up more goods, so it will probably take two more trucks to load the goods.

Father Ye and his crew waited until the number of fish on the deck dwindled, then they went to drag them into the fish warehouse. Ye Yaodong then realized that even the fish warehouse was already full, so they were willing to come back.

"That's a lot! It must be more than 10,000 kilograms."

"Of course there are. Everyone is trying their best to pick the big ones. These ones are basically more than 50 or 60 kilograms. They are very big. There are no small ones."

"If it wasn't for the fact that it couldn't hold any more and we were in a hurry to send it back for killing, how could we bear to come back? Oh, what a pity, that large piece of it is spread out on the sea, just like a child playing with bubbles. What a pity, the typhoon has come and we can't go out again."

"On the bright side, if there hadn't been a typhoon, there wouldn't have been such a large area of ​​them."

"That's a pity. Let's wait until later, when the sea is calm, and then go out to look for it and see if we can find it."

Ye Yaodong was not optimistic at all. "It's hard to say. They are gathered together now, but when the typhoon comes, the waves will scatter them all over the place. Those that can't gather together will be scattered on the sea."

Didn’t he catch the jellyfish after the typhoon?

"That's fine too. There are so many of them floating on the sea and they can be salvaged just the same."

"Let's wait until the typhoon passes."

They had the most manpower, and excluding those who stayed at home and did not come out with them, there were about seventeen or eighteen people in total. After working for an hour and a half, they processed hundreds of jellyfish.

When the second truck came to pull the cargo, they were the first to empty the boat. Most of the cargo was his goods.

After they finished their work, Ye Yaodong asked everyone to go to other boats to help.

By the time the next truck arrives, all the goods have been divided up and are taken away in the last trip.

Everyone was so tired that they sat on the deck, rushing to get to work.

"I was starving. I finally finished. There were hundreds of them. How could I have made so many?"

"Just finish it in time..."

After they paid their wages to the locals, they all sat on the deck and rested for a while.

"I'm so anxious that I'm sweating."

"Who isn't? It's so cold, and I'm sweating all over."

"There are still some goods on the ship that have not been sold..."

"Rest for a while before carrying to the dock, and then go straight home."

Ye Yaodong said, "Pack up the things on the boat and lock up what needs to be locked up. After selling the goods, go back to eat. It's past dinner time."

"Okay, clean up and go back to eat."

"It's so cool on this pier..."

After they finished selling their goods and went home, they all gathered at his house in the afternoon.

Now, as long as nothing happens, his home is their base.

According to everyone, when you come here, even if you do nothing, you will feel at peace just sitting there. When you are out and about, no place you stay will make you feel safer than here.

Ye Yaodong ignored those people and let them stay in the yard. He called Pei's father, his brother, and Zhou Da into the house one by one and showed them the list of goods sold in the past few days.

Give them the money as well. It is a bill of lading with all the corresponding amounts calculated clearly and tied up with ropes.

"Please check if you have any objections to the price."

"You all gave a good price?"

"We are all familiar with each other, and we all know what the current price is. If you have no objection, I have already calculated the money and bundled it all together, so you can do the math."

"Okay, this price is fine. We don't mind. It doesn't matter who buys it. What's more, we don't know any fresh seafood boats in this area. We are afraid of being ripped off if we sell it to outsiders."

"Yes, you have a seafood collection boat here, which is convenient for us. We just need to concentrate on salvaging at sea. Anyway, when the time is almost up, you will come to collect the seafood and replenish the supplies at the same time."

Everyone had no objection, and Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief.

It was his first time doing it, so he was afraid that they would not be satisfied with the price. Now it's fine as long as they are satisfied.

He was also very satisfied. He could earn steady money with just one trip, which was much more comfortable than going out to sea.

"Okay, then you count first."

Father Ye asked curiously, "Why did Lao Zheng go to Zhou City? He is so brave. If he had been a few days later and encountered a typhoon, wouldn't he have been doomed at sea?"

"Their ship is not big, so they must be sailing along the coastal area. If they feel that the wind and waves are strong, they can also find a place to dock in advance. Typhoons don't blow immediately, there will be signs in advance."

Unless you are in the deep sea, there is no time to react, and the wind and waves in the open sea will be even greater.

"So how are they doing these days?"

"Not very good. I heard they were preparing fishing nets to catch hairtail. Now the typhoon has come. All their preparations were in vain. We can only wait."

Father Pei also frowned. "Why is he making such a fuss? If he had also been trawling here, he could have made some money first. Now, he went up there, but before he could even start, a typhoon came. It was a wasted trip..."

"Dad, it's not a wasted trip. Going there in advance can help us prepare in advance. I heard that there are four major fishing grounds, so the resources must be very rich. Didn't Uncle Zheng ask us about this several times in the past few years?"

"It's not that we can't make money here now. It's quite easy to make money. After the typhoon passes, we can still salvage the fish."

"Uncle Zheng said that he wanted to stay there to catch the winter flood in the second half of the year. He said that the winter flood alone would be enough to make a fortune. If we go there early now, the resources will be abundant. If we wait until the weather gets cold, his old boat may not be able to withstand the strong winds and waves. We don't want to go with him, so it's just right to go there early now."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said, "Why are they all the four major fisheries? They are so famous, so they must have rich resources. Uncle Zheng is always thinking about going there, so he must be able to make a lot of money."

"It's not like he doesn't know that there is a jellyfish season here. Although this year is not ideal, it's not like he can't make money."

"He can even give up this and take the risk to sail so far up there. He must be sure that he can earn more than here. The people on that ship are all his sons, nephews, and brothers."

"Anyway, A Guang has made an appointment with him. Let's call him in a few days. Uncle Pei can find out more about it then."

After listening to his analysis, Pei's father also felt that it made sense. Without sufficient benefits, who would be willing to throw away the chicken leg that was almost in hand? They must think that they can make more money elsewhere.

"Then I'll ask later. But there's a typhoon now and we can't go out to sea, so asking won't tell us anything."

"You don't have to ask people about their catches. You can ask them how long the hairtail season lasted in previous years, how much a typical fishing boat can catch, and whether we can catch some if we go there in advance. Ask more questions."

"Do you want to go?" asked Ye's father.

Others also heard it a little.

"I want to know more about it. After all, it is one of the four major fishing grounds, so there must be something amazing. Last year, I heard from people in the neighboring county that people in their county also go to Shenjiamen specifically to catch shrimp in the winter."

"Don't bother, it's too far. We can make money here just as well."

"Well, it's okay to ask. Knowing more can broaden your horizons. Uncle Zheng also said that this trip may not be back until after the Chinese New Year. There are winter and spring floods for hairtail, and the time is very long."

A Guang looked at him in surprise. When did Uncle Zheng say that?

He is really good at making up stories.

"Winter flood and spring flood? So long? That would take at least half a year?"

"More than that. There are abundant resources there. We can catch hairtail all year round. There are also several other types of fish. There are also targeted fishing nets that only catch one type. We don't have to catch a lot of different kinds of fish like we do, which makes it difficult to sell them."

If it weren't for the amazing reproductive ability of hairtail, it would not have been able to persist in having spring and winter floods every year after the 21st century, when the other three economic fish products no longer have fishing seasons.

Hairtail, together with large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker and squid, are known as the "Four Major Seafoods" (the four major marine economic fish species).

For many years, fishermen have been catching these four types of fish as their main catch.

It is precisely because of irregular overfishing that after the 21st century, the catch of the other three major fish species, except hairtail, has long lost its former glory.

Only the catch of hairtail remains strong, and it has now become a must-have fish on the Chinese table.

An adult female cutlassfish can produce 2.5 to 3.5 eggs at a time after mating with a male cutlassfish. As long as fertilization is successful, most of these eggs can survive.

Then, because of its fast growth rate and quick maturation of sexual function, it basically only takes about a year for hairtail to enter the breeding period.

It can be said that it has all the "buffs" stacked up and possesses numerous advantages. Such hairtail, although not causing an overabundance of pollution, can at least fully meet the consumption of Chinese people on the dining table.

In addition, most hairtails live in the deep sea of ​​60-100 meters, so they are relatively easy to catch and suitable for large-scale fishing.

However, it is also thanks to China's promulgation of a fishing moratorium policy after 1995, which gave the ocean time to recover.

Otherwise, given the hard work of Chinese fishermen and the power of the family-destroying nets, many of them would have been wiped out.

Everyone was curious about Ye Yaodong and took the initiative to ask what Uncle Zheng said on the phone two days ago.

Ye Yaodong made up a few words and looked at Ah Guang who was staring at him.

"A Guang told me, you can also ask him."

"what?"

Ah Guang was confused. "Ask me? No... you... didn't you tell me everything? Why are you asking me?"

"Well, next time you call me, you can ask more questions and understand more."

A Guang looked at this and that, everyone was staring at him, and he could only nod.

"it is good."

What is Ye Yaodong bragging about?
