Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 209 Qing Zhanyu

After Ye Yaodong told his father to stand far away and not get too close, he went to sail towards the buoy where the row hook was released.

It was trawling and fishing again, and it had been almost five hours since the longline was lowered.

He put away the buoy, then pulled the stone, but failed to pull it up after a few tries. He couldn't help but frowned. Last time, he let go of the longline fishing at the bottom, but he didn't encounter any stone that couldn't be pulled up. what.

Father Ye saw him standing there pulling the rope, but he didn't see any fish coming up for a long time, so he walked over to have a look.

"What's the matter?"

"The stone can't be pulled up, I wonder if it will be stuck by a reef on the bottom of the sea?"

Father Ye frowned, "What's the matter, you didn't put the float today."

"I'll go into the water and have a look."

"Don't go down too deep, come up if you feel uncomfortable."

Ye Yaodong nodded, then took off his clothes, trousers and arms, did a simple warm-up, took a breath and jumped into the water.

It was already late autumn, and the sea water was very cold just after jumping down, so he was not in a hurry to dive, he moved on the sea surface, and felt okay after he got used to it, and then he dived.

He didn't descend very deep, and the visibility was quite high.

At that time, the ocean had not been polluted, and the bottom of the water looked very clear, and today there is no undercurrent.

Relying on the weight of his body, he sank little by little along a straight line. At about 3 meters, he saw a small group of prawns swimming, and his attention was immediately diverted. He was a little surprised Reached out and grabbed one.

He continued to look around curiously, just in time, there was another black snapper swimming past him, wagging its tail, and he grabbed it as well.

This black snapper weighed less than a catty, and he could ignore the strength of its struggle.

After holding his breath for too long, he felt a little unbearable. After catching a black sea bream, although he was a little envious of the small group of prawns, he still resolutely floated to the surface, intending to take a breath first.

"What's wrong, how deep did you dive? Did you see any stones?"

"No, I went down to a depth of about three meters. When I saw a prawn and a black bream, I caught them first and came up to catch my breath."

Father Ye took the black sea bream he handed over, and a large prawn of about three or four taels, wondering, "Is it so easy to catch?"

"It's okay, I'll go down and have a look, find out where the stone is stuck?"

"It's too deep. If you can't get there, just find the thread at the other end, bite off the thread directly, and pull the thread at the other end up."

"Well, I know."

Ye Yaodong took a deep breath and then sank down in a straight line. This time he wasn't curious anymore, it was better to solve the problem of the rock getting stuck first, and then he could touch the fish slowly.

A small group of prawns beside him were swimming back and forth, and there were occasionally a few small fish wagging their tails leisurely in the distance. He only glanced at it before continuing to sink along the rope.

But he didn't know how deep he dived. When he saw the stone stuck in the gap of the reef, he also saw several large conchs, abalones, and a few sea cucumbers swimming underneath.

He was overjoyed, and was about to dive a little further to get it out, but he felt that his ears were failing, the air pressure was too strong, and he didn't bring any diving equipment.

Feeling uncomfortable, he resolutely let his body float up, and quickly rushed to the surface of the water.

Father Ye has been watching the movement below the sea with his heart raised, and when he saw him rushing up from the water, he quickly asked, "How is it?"

"I found it. The sinking stone rope is stuck on the reef. I also saw a lot of abalones and conchs, and a few sea cucumbers, but I couldn't go down. The air pressure was too strong, and I didn't have any equipment. I guess I would dive at most. It's ten meters deep, and the bottom is still several meters away from where I was just now, so there's no way to go down."

Father Ye was overjoyed, but he frowned again when he heard the back, "It's a pity, if you can't go down, you don't need it, just find the thread at the other end of the rope tied to the stone."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was a pity, since there are good things right in front of him, now he can only forget about them for the time being.

He slowed on the surface and adjusted his breath again, then plunged in.

This time he paid special attention to the depth of his descent, which was about five meters, and he swam around to look for it, and even avoided small fish when he encountered it.

After searching around in the sea, he saw the other end of the rope, and then happily swam over to pull the fishing line. He saw two flounder hanging on the hook of the branch line next to him, so he quickly grabbed the main line at this end, Float up.

Father Ye was also relieved to see him bring the main line, and was about to use scissors to cut off the other end of the main line, but he heard Ye Yaodong say: "There are three branch lines tied to the main line in the sea, and there are three branch lines at the door." There are two flounder hanging on the hook, I will pick those two fish first and then you can cut them."

After he unhooked the flounder in the sea and threw it on the boat, Father Ye used scissors to cut off the stuck end at the bottom, let it sink in the sea, and let someone repair it when he returned at night.

He pulled the main thread and said to Ye Yaodong who was still swimming in the sea in bewilderment: "You haven't come up yet, why are you still soaking in there? Isn't it cold? Don't catch a cold, come up quickly."

"Father, I want to go to the bottom to see again. I saw a small group of prawns in front of me. It feels a bit pity that I didn't fish it up. I will leave the above lines to you for collection?"

Father Ye stared, "Don't mess around, how deep can you swim? The cold is a minor one, so don't make your ears and nose bleed and leave sequelae."

"I don't go too deep, I'm about five or six meters below, and I can't hold my breath anymore, so I'll come up."

"You have been back and forth several times, why don't you come up for a rest first?"

"It's okay, the young man has good physical strength, I'm fine, you give me that little hand fishing net."

"What are you going to catch?"

Ye Yaodong has a big head, his father is really too smudged, "Give me the fishing net first."

The son couldn't help his father, not to mention that he was only a part-time worker, and the youngest was getting more and more determined, and he couldn't listen to him, so Father Ye had to hand him the fishing net at his feet.

As soon as he got the fishing net, he didn't talk nonsense and swam directly into the sea. He had seen several prawns just now, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't fish them ashore.

That group of prawns was also very stupid, swimming back and forth, just in this circle, he didn't have to look for it and saw it again.

Holding the fishing net in hand, he unceremoniously walked towards the small group of prawns in the net. Due to the small opening of the net, he only caught half of it, and the rest scattered.

After these prawns were scattered, it was difficult to catch, so he had no choice but to give up, and then he quickly closed the net and went upstream. When he saw a small group of herring fish swimming in the distance, he didn't care about catching them, anyway, the fish was cheap.

He has gone back and forth in the water too many times today. Without goggles, he is afraid that his eyes will get infected, and he will not be able to dive too deep, and his physical strength is a bit too much, so he can only stop here for today.

As he was going upstream, he happened to see a yellowfin snapper biting the hook under the sea, shaking its body, and floating up with the pull of the fishing line.

It’s okay, this yellowfin bream looks like it weighs more than two catties.

When he surfaced, Father Ye happily took down the yellow fin bream.

"Dad, help me catch this."

"What did you catch?" Father Ye saw that the mouth of the net bag was tightly squeezed by him, and he took it by the handle, looking inside curiously, "So many prawns?"

He was pleasantly surprised, the big prawns in it were still alive and kicking, and they were not small in size. He quickly dumped all the prawns into the bucket and packed them separately.

"You just fished the net with your hands just to catch these prawns?"

Ye Yaodong climbed up with hands and feet, wiped the sea water on his face before he said: "Well, I saw it a few times before, but I didn't have any tools to catch it, so I thought about trying to catch it with my hands. I only caught half of them, and I didn’t dare to catch the rest if they were scattered.”

"Okay, these are five or six catties, and there are no towels on the boat. You can just use a cloth to wipe yourself first, and put on your clothes first, so you don't catch a cold. Just let me collect these threads."

"Ah."

He sneezed twice and shook his wet hair. He felt a little disgusted that the cloth on the boat was too dirty, so he just wiped it with the autumn clothes. Anyway, he should go back after collecting the rope.

The small yellow croakers on the boat were piled up casually, and they didn't know how much they were worth. The bigger one was probably more valuable.

After Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and trousers, he also went up to help, but he didn't know if they had run out of luck, or if it was the season of green fish recently, when they reeled up the line, more than half of the hooks were full of green fish.

Now that he got another one, he was almost depressed. Isn't this a waste of bait?
Qingzhan fish is as cheap as saury and balang fish, and it only costs 3 cents per catty.

"Why are there so many broken fish?"

He just saw it all in the sea.

"September to December is its flood season, and it's normal to have a lot." Father Ye was not disappointed either, it's better than empty hooks, and the small yellow croakers that are full of boats have made a lot of money today. If you don't want to sell them, Just take it back and keep it as bait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The fishing season for Qingzhanyu is generally from April to July in the spring flood season and from September to December in the autumn flood season. It can be fished all year round along the coast.

The more Ye Yaodong harvested, the more he felt depressed. After harvesting more than half of it, there were only 3 black snappers, 1 yellowfin snapper, 3 flounder, and eight or nine soft silks. dog.

It's better than trawling the net. When the front trawling net reaches the electric ray, there are still a lot of other fish mixed in it.

In fact, Qingzhan fish is also very nutritious and healthy. As for why it is so cheap, it is because its meat quality is old, its taste is bad, and its fishy smell is strong, so it is not popular. In addition, it has a high yield and can be caught all year round.

After all the row hooks were collected, the sun was already high in the sky, and there were three baskets of worthless herring fish on the boat, which seemed to weigh about 200 catties, and there were about ten catties of soft silk, five flounder, three Bass, five black bream, one yellowfin.

"It seems that only part of it can be used for drying, and part of it can be used as bait."

"Keep it, you don't need to sell it, it won't go bad if it's dried in the sun, keep it and eat it slowly, and then I'll send some more to your old father-in-law's side, and there are more people there."

"Ah."

"Go back directly, the sun is a bit bright and hot today."

"it is good."

You can't lose the big because of the small.

He directly gave up the idea of ​​going back to the web of electric rays. Who knows if there are any more down there, and how many there are?What if time is wasted?
He can also take a nap if he goes back early. Yesterday they drank until almost ten o'clock, and he woke up at two o'clock in the night.
