Chapter 239 The Fish Died and the Net Broken (Monthly Pass Plus [-])

At two o'clock in the morning, Ye Yaodong woke up on time, in an excellent state of mind, refreshed, and did not feel tired at all from lack of sleep.

Lin Xiuqing also woke up and was about to get out of bed.

Ye Yaodong whispered: "Don't get up, I'll just cook an egg and eat it."

"Then how do you get enough to eat? You're going all day."

"I asked my father to bring the coal stove of the old house with me. Later, I will take a few slices of rice noodles and some dry goods, and then go to the backyard to chop a cabbage and cook it on the boat, so that even those who are cold can have a warm bite."

"Yes, you can bring the coal stove from the old house to the boat. You can't eat noodles all day, anyway, I'm awake..."

"It's okay, you can continue to sleep, eat occasionally for two days but not every day."

Setting up a coal stove to cook on the boat would save her a lot of trouble, and she wouldn't have to follow him up in the middle of the night to cook for him. After two months, her stomach would get bigger, which would be even more inconvenient.

Seeing that he insisted, Lin Xiuqing lay down on the ground, even in the cold weather, she was also sleepy.

Ye Yaodong took a basket, filled it with 4 slices of dried rice noodles, grabbed a handful of dried oysters, went to the backyard, chopped a Chinese cabbage, picked a few leaves, washed them, put them in the basket, and fished other side dishes from the sea. up.

Then bring the bowls and chopsticks, put some seasonings, and wash the bucket by the way, fill a bucket of clean water, and after everything is ready, he pushes the cart to the pier.

He didn't have to eat today, he was faster than his father, and there were not many people at the pier when he arrived, so he went to sail the boat first, and after loading all the things on the boat, Father Ye came late.

"Why are you so fast?"

He glanced at his father and didn't know what to ask.

Father Ye didn't expect him to answer, after lifting the coal stove onto the boat, he planned to cut the bait.

"Father, go and sail the boat, I'll cook some noodles first."

"What? You haven't eaten yet?"

"No, I brought noodles and plan to make them on the boat. It will save trouble and save Ah Qing from having to get up in the middle of the night to cook."

The person on the fishing boat next to him joked, "Hehe~ I can't tell that Ah Dong loves his wife so much? Whose mother-in-law doesn't wake up in the middle of the night to cook, and some of them have to go to sea..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care what others said, took out a match, lit a small handful of straw, put it in the coal stove to burn the coal first, then filled the small pot with water, let it cook slowly, and then went to cut the fish and hang bait.

Father Ye casually said a few words and then drove the boat to the distant sea.

It was cooking in the pot, Ye Yaodong was busy with his work, and it would not take time.

After the water boiled, he tore two pieces of cabbage casually, then put down the dry rice noodles, a few dried oysters, and a few shrimps. Sprinkle a little more flavor, and it will come out of the pot when it is cooked.

I haven't cast a net today, so I can only put a little shrimp, but it is quite fresh.

"Father, do you want some more?"

"Eat it, I've eaten it."

It felt like playing house, but it was also very interesting. Ye Yaodong sucked it in big mouthfuls, drank all the soup, and then started working again.

According to his own habit, Father Ye stopped to help after he drove to the sea area he was familiar with. It was only after three o'clock at this time, and it was still very dark.

After Ye Yaodong handed over the job of hanging the bait to his father, he was about to put down the hook, but just as he turned around, he caught sight of a figure jumping out of the sea out of the corner of his eye, followed by a white light and heard a thud.

He looked carefully at the surface of the sea, but only saw a white figure, and then submerged again, and the sea surface was empty again, leaving only sparkling water waves.

"Did a fish jump out of the water just now?" Father Ye also heard the thud, but turned his head to look and saw nothing.

"It seems to be, it seems that a fish caught a seabird just now? I didn't see it clearly."

He thought the white figure should be a seabird.

"Pay attention, many fish are active at night, and when the weather turns cooler, there are fewer fish schools. It is rare for a big fish to jump out of the water."

"Well, Dad, go and sail the boat, I'll do the rest."

He put the throwing net in order and put it beside him, ready to cast the net at all times.Then put the baited hook into the water, and looked around and listened to the water surface around him, but he didn't see any movement. He was a little disappointed.

Is it already full?

After the whole string of hooks had been set, he lowered the sinker rope to catch low-level fish. Just as he was throwing the buoy, a large fish with graceful lines suddenly cut through the calm sea with a whoosh, and was about to fly at low altitude. The seabird bit it and dragged it underwater.

"Father, over there!"

Ye's father kept an eye on the sea surface while sailing the boat, and he saw it too. It was not far away, only a dozen meters away. As soon as the boat turned around, Ye Yaodong took a good look and threw the net away, planning to try it out.

As a result, when dragging it, he found that it was really in stock, so he hurriedly called his father to come over to help.

This hand-throwing net is quite easy to use, and it is very suitable for adapting to changes.

The father and son were overjoyed when they felt the weight in their hands. When they struggled to drag the fishing net to the side of the boat, they could clearly see the goods in the fishing net with the help of headlights.

"Is this Niu Hong Kong trevally?"

The light at night is not very good, Father Ye said uncertainly.

Ye Yaodong flung the fishing net onto the deck with a little force, and after the headlamp shone back and forth for a while, he confirmed with joy on his face: "It's Niugang trevally, a big guy, and there's a tern in its mouth."

While talking, he quickly untied the fishing net and poured out the large cargo inside. Under the drag of gravity and the pressure of the outside world, it has taken in more air and less air out, but its gills are still moving there. of.

Ye Yaodong shined a flashlight back and forth on this Niugang trevally, no wonder he could see the fish flying out of the water to catch birds, it turned out to be this guy.

It is a magical little flying fish that can fly to the sky and eat birds. It loves to eat seabirds, and even learned to "fly" in order to prey. It also has a resounding title called "The God of War who loves to eat seabirds."

This Niugang trevally is also called Langren trevally. It is a migratory fish near the coast. It mainly forages at night. Its belly is silver-white, its back is blue-green, and its lower jaw is protruding. It looks very strange. Fierce feeling.

He visually inspected it, and found that the length of this fish was about 1.5 meters, and it weighed about seventy or eighty catties.

Having caught such a big fish just out of the sea, Father Ye was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he quickly took out the tern that was in his mouth.

I saw that the tern was already covered with a layer of membrane, and the Niugang trevally was caught by them before they could swallow it.

He directly threw the tern that hadn't been swallowed into the sea, but he didn't expect another tern to jump out immediately.

Father Ye lowered his head and threw it away without lifting it. He didn't see anything, but Ye Yaodong saw a fish head popping out of the sea.

"Also, dad..."

As he spoke, he quickly threw the hand on the side into the net excitedly, tidied it up briefly, and then threw it towards the surface of the water.

Throwing in a hurry, the fishing net was not fully opened, and some places were still knotted, and it was delayed for a while, and I don't know if I can catch it.

"Did it fly out of the water again?"

"When you threw the tern just now, another big fish head appeared on the surface of the sea."

While talking, he started to put away the fishing net again. Unexpectedly, this time the fish in the net were pulled harder, and he felt a little loose on his arm.

Father Ye felt the same way.

"Grass, you probably caught several in this net, right?" Ye Yaodong cursed hard.

The father and son worked hard back and forth, and when the fishing net was dragged to the surface and was about to approach the side of the boat, they also saw that there were two big fish and many black mullets in the fishing net.

"No wonder it's so heavy, Dongzi put in a little effort..."

The fishing net was dragged from the sea to the side of the boat little by little, and then slowly pulled up.

At this moment, I don't know if the fishing net is not strong enough, or the Niugang trevally inside is struggling too much.

The moment the fishing net was pulled over one-third of the ship's side and was about to fall onto the deck, a hole was cut in the tail and it exploded. The fish at the bottom crashed and fell directly to the surface of the water...

At the same time, the fishing net was pulled by them and fell onto the deck. Both father and son were dumbfounded.

"Fuck..."

In such an instant, half of it was lost and half was left?
"It's okay, it's okay...the two Niugang trevally are relatively big, and they were pulled onto the boat before they had time to fall."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that there were only two daniugang trevally left in the fishing net, and a few scattered mullets that hadn't caught in time.

Father Ye was also thankful, fortunately, there was a hole at the bottom. Although most of the black mullets were missed, it was good enough to keep the Niugang trevally.

Ye Yaodong shook off the throwing net in his hand, and he didn't care about the two scads in the fishing net, which had already been pulled up anyway.

He ran to the side of the boat, wanting to see what happened to the black mullet that had fallen into the sea, but he was overjoyed to see that these fish were all floating on the water.

"Father, hurry up and grab the net with your hands. These black mullets were crushed to death by Niugang trevally and floated to the surface."

Father Ye didn't care to look at it, and hurried to get two hand nets.

The two fished two nets and brought all the black mullets on the sea to the boat.

It may not necessarily be crushed to death by Niugang trevally. Sea fish live in seawater for a long time. The seawater has high salinity and high pressure. Small blood vessels in the body rupture and then die like this is not necessarily the case.

Although the fish were dead and the net was broken, they were all picked up.

Ye Yaodong shook off the fishing net in his hand, "Made, I almost lost my life."

"It's good to catch them all. Take the fishnet back to mend it, and it can still be used." Father Ye said cheerfully while going to untie the fishing net.

"After we go back, ask someone to weave a new one to compensate Ah Zheng. Let's mend the broken one and keep it for ourselves!"

At that time, he said he wanted to take it back, but Ah Zheng said no, it had been kept in his hands for a month or two, so let him use it up and weave a new one to return it.

"Although this hand-throwing net is a bit laborious, it is still very practical sometimes."

"Well, so weave a new one and return it to him, let's keep this one for ourselves."

Ye Yaodong also stepped forward to help drag the two Niugang trevally out of the fishing net and put them side by side with the one in front.
