Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1556 Bass
At first he looked at the transparent body, thinking it was some kind of squid, but when it rolled onto the deck he discovered it was a squid, which is considered one of the most popular squids to eat.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to ask them to leave it alone for now, so as not to lose the big picture for the small, and to hoist up all the goods in the fishing nets first, and then pick up any that were left later.

It doesn’t matter if there are none. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of goods caught in a net, these few small squids caught on the deck are nothing.

Unexpectedly, they decided to send only one person to pick up the goods, while the others continued to lift the goods, sort the goods, and move the goods as usual.

The man picking up squids had a bucket in his hand and a rope tied around his waist. He squatted there to lower his center of gravity. Whichever way the boat tilted, he would also lean towards that direction to pick up the squids.

The waves at the stern surged up, then shrank back, and then surged again, forming groups of transparent figures.

It is said that large ships will create a relatively calm area with a diameter of 20-30 meters during storms, where squids can avoid the impact of huge waves.

It turns out this is really true.

There are so many squids, and their transparent bodies are so conspicuous. Who wouldn’t feel itchy when seeing them?

The goods were hanging over there, and the workers here were having a great time picking them up. In addition, the waves at the stern brought up some more goods from time to time.

The heavy rain continued, and it only eased a little towards dawn, turning into moderate rain. The fishing boats were not shaking as violently, but it was only relatively better.

After Ye Yaodong pulled up the net at night, he never let it down again.

The weather is too bad. If we cast the nets now, if the wind and rain get stronger, it will be difficult to collect the nets and we won't have enough time to run. It's better to give up and be safe. It's not too late to cast the nets again when the wind and rain are less severe.

The other ships had the same plan and reported it to him at night.

We have just finished sorting the net from last night.

It was raining heavily and the visibility was blurry, so the work was definitely not as smooth as it would be on a sunny day. It took a lot longer than usual to finish the work.

It was shift change time after daybreak. Ye Yaodong saw that the rain had subsided a lot, so he waited for them to finish their shift and it was almost time to continue fishing.

After he handed the cockpit to Lao Xiao, he took the lunch box to get some food. After eating, he could go back to sleep. It was already daybreak. After staying up all night, he felt a little sore in the waist and back.

After dinner, he would also take a basin of water, take a bath and then lie down.

"...a full bucket. I'll cook it for a snack later. These little squids are the best when boiled."

"Then I still like to cook sour bamboo shoots. The ones pickled at home are more flavorful..."

"It must be blanched, that's why it's so fresh."

“Only sour bamboo shoots have flavor…”

"Haha, stop arguing, both of you. Just have one bowl of blanched bamboo shoots and one bowl of boiled pickled bamboo shoots, isn't that enough?" Ye Yaodong interrupted the two people who were arguing with a smile.

"The rain is easing now. Should we put down the net later?"

"Yes, I do. It's just right for me to go online after my shift change."

"I hope this rain will pass soon. Last night the waves were so big that I couldn't even stand. I was thinking if they got bigger, I might be able to go back directly."

“You wish,” someone interrupted, “the heavy rain and waves at this time of year will only last for a while. If we really turn back, it will probably be sunny before we drive out a few dozen miles.”

"Yes, if we were near the coast, we could go back directly in this weather and get home in three or four hours."

Ye Yaodong also said: "This kind of weather is already considered bad. It can't be much worse if it doesn't have a typhoon."

"Fortunately, the rain has subsided. I hope it will stop soon. It's really uncomfortable when it rains. I have to work in the rain and my body is wet. Fortunately, there was only a brief thunder and lightning last night, and the equipment on the ship was not damaged."

He comforted her, "These are all new ships. Fortunately, the equipment is all new."

"I don't know what happened to the ship that went back yesterday. Are you in touch?"

"We were able to get in touch at night, but the waves were a little big, so we slowed down and drove slowly. We had done all the preparations, and there were no problems. Everything was fine when we disconnected."

"That's good."

Someone else asked: "Is the first boat No. 5 going back almost on the way here?"

"almost."

"I don't know when the rain will stop..."

As everyone continued to talk, Ye Yaodong prepared the food and took it upstairs to eat. The cabin was too small and too crowded, and it was raining outside, so it was not convenient to eat outside.

After eating, he simply took a shower and washed his hair. While his hair was still wet, he took a pen and paper and wrote down the date in a notebook.

At the same time, we also calculate the day when Ship No. 5 arrives, as well as the catch of the night net. These are all data worth referring to.

From time to time, he looked out the window at the rain outside.

The rain diluted the surface sea water into gray-brown, like cheap beer mixed with mud. The visibility dropped sharply and became turbid.

The wave crests carry with them seabed mud, broken seaweed, and even deep-sea sediments, forming strips of dirty foam.

Wait until your hair is half dry before lying down to rest.

I could sleep peacefully after a good night's sleep. After all, the rain was getting lighter and it didn't matter if it continued to rain.

He had nothing to worry about leaving it to someone else to look after.

When he woke up, it was already mid-afternoon, and the rain was still pouring down with no sign of stopping.

It was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was May, but it looked gloomy, as if it was almost dark.

After he checked and confirmed that everything was normal during the day, he picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. The sea was still not calm, with surging waves and turbid sea water carrying large schools of fish.

The heavy rain caused a sharp drop in dissolved oxygen, and bottom fish, such as hairtail, mackerel and bonito, were forced to float up to breathe, revealing their silvery bellies in the waves.

“I don’t know when this rain will stop.”

Ye Yaodong said calmly: "When the enemy comes, we will fight them with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy rainfall over the next few days."

"Well, it's time to pay more attention to the inspection and maintenance of the machines."

"know."

There are people watching here, so it doesn't matter whether he is here or not.

After looking through the telescope for a while, Ye Yaodong put it away and placed it in the cockpit. He went down to the deck and planned to keep an eye on it, as it was almost night again.

The workers all said they were keeping a close eye on things, as the risks were greater in bad weather.

At this moment, he saw a great blue shark leaping out of the sea, "Wow..."

They took advantage of the waves to leap up and hunt, biting seabirds in the air with their fangs, and blood and rain splashed onto the deck.

Most seabirds will hide in such weather, but large birds such as albatrosses may still risk flying. Only when there are no fish on the sea will there be no seabirds in the sky.

Although it is raining now, seabirds also need to find food, not to mention that the surging waves are rolling up the fish from the bottom of the sea.

The workers also exclaimed, "It's amazing, it even jumped up and bit."

After Ye Yaodong finished his admiration, he saw that there were indeed quite a few fish floating in the water near the fishing boat, so he picked up the long pole at his feet.

He searched on the sea, then casually used his long hook to hook a big bass!
After the gills of the bass were hooked by him, its body struggled and swayed violently, but he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and had already lifted the bamboo pole, and the big bass was held in mid-air.

"Fuck... the boss is awesome..."

"What a big bass. Is this okay?"

"What did you do? I just glanced away and hooked a bass?"

"Oh my god, oh my god... is it so easy to hook it?"

Ye Yaodong also grinned happily, "Haha, I just happened to see a lot of fish surging around with the waves, so I thought I'd give it a try. This fish was probably also stunned by the waves in front."

"This is a great move. No matter if you're stunned or not, it's great that you can hook it."

"That's awesome, let me try it too..."

"Be careful, it's raining heavily and the waves are big..."

Ye Yaodong pulled the bamboo pole in inch by inch. The gill cover of the perch was still opening and closing, but its eyes were filled with mud and sand.

"Sure enough, this fish should have been half dead, lacking oxygen."

"It's really big, about 8 or 9 kilograms, this sea bass is huge!"

"The perch caught in this area are not small, and some are over 5-6 catties. The perch caught offshore are only 1-2 kg, 2-3 kg, and there are not many that are over 5-6 catties."

Ye Yaodong cast the hook, and the bass even swung its tail and bounced a little when it fell on the deck.

He poked it with the hook before grabbing the fish by the gills and throwing it into the basket.

At this time, a wave hit the stern of the boat, causing it to sway. Everyone almost lost their balance, so they quickly grabbed whatever was nearby to stabilize themselves.

Just when the fishing boat stopped shaking so violently and everyone had steadied themselves, they heard Chen Shi scream.

"what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

"Fish, fish, fish, fish..." He stuttered again when he was nervous, "Eel, run in your rain boots..."

After he screamed, he quickly took his feet out of his rain boots.

A small eel weighing about one pound bit his ankle tightly. Its sharp teeth and fierce eyes made everyone feel pain for him.

Ye Yaodong quickly picked up the hook he had just put down, and with a flick, the eel flew out, landed on the deck, and then swayed from the stern into the sea.

Blood was gushing out from the bite on Chen Shi's ankle.

"Help him go to the cabin and clean the wound, then put a Band-Aid on it."

"You're being unfair, aren't you? The boss just casually hooked a big bass, and you just moved casually and attracted an eel."

"Haha, this fish is too fierce."

Ye Yaodong said: "Since you are injured, you don't have to be on duty at night. Lao Xiao and I can take over at night."

Chen Shi quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I was just bitten, it's okay, it just hurt a little bit when I was bitten."

"Take a break. It hurts just looking at it. It's just that this one is a little small, otherwise a piece of meat would have been bitten off."

"It doesn't matter..."

"Anyway, I just woke up and couldn't sleep. I was worried at night, so I had to watch over it."

Seeing that what he said was serious and made sense, Chen Shi didn't say much.

"It's almost time for dinner. Let's kill this perch and make fish soup. Perch is good for wounds and will help them heal easily."

"Haha, I think this fish was caught specifically for Chen Shi."

Ps: Grandma is about to die. Today, several uncles, aunts and other family members are here to watch over her. The younger generations have also gone to see her, just waiting for the end.

Sorry for the late update.
