Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 487 Colorful Jellyfish

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. Originally, he just fished for fun when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect to have a windfall.

He took the fish out of the net and it still shook a couple of times.

Chen Jianian said with some regret: "It's only about a catty, not too big, it's a bit small."

"It's okay, it's just for fishing anyway, it doesn't matter how big or small it is." He said indifferently.

Ye Yaosheng echoed with a smile, "It's good luck."

Ye Yaodong nodded, this fish is quite auspicious, it looks good, its color is bright red, its scales are shining with water droplets under the sunlight, it is crystal clear and beautiful.

Generally, if a sea bream is caught by a seaside fisherman, it will be regarded as an auspicious sign.

The meaning is good enough.

Big or small doesn't matter.

In fact, there is still a story about the origin of the name of Jiaji fish...

According to legend, Tang Taizong Li Shimin came to Dengzhou (now Penglai, Shandong) on ​​his expedition to the east.

One day, he chose an auspicious day to cross the sea to visit Xianshan (now Changshan Island) on the sea. After tasting the beautiful-looking and delicious fish on the island, he asked the accompanying civil and military officials, what is the name of this fish?
The officials didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they bowed and replied: "The emperor bestows the name."

Taizong was delighted, thinking that it was an auspicious day to cross the sea, and tasting fresh fish would add luster to the auspicious day, so he named it "Jiaji fish".

The black Jiaji fish is called black sea bream, also known as sea crucian carp, the red Jiaji fish is called red sea bream, and the yellow finned fish is called yellow bream, yellow fin bream.

As long as the fish in the sea are slightly different, they all have different names.

There was nothing at hand to hold the fish, so Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go to the small cabin to find a bucket. By the way, he took out some ice cubes from the bucket containing the jellyfish brains outside to keep it fresh, otherwise the high temperature would be bad for a few hours. .

After settling in properly, he continued to play. There was also a handmade net next to it. The big cousin also used it to imitate him and put it in the water to fish for fun. They picked it up when they felt the resistance increased, and they could bring some small fish and shrimps from time to time. .

It is difficult to find bigger fish. After all, few fish swim on the surface, they are all a few meters below the water, and only occasionally a few swim to the surface to breathe.

As time goes by, the sun rises higher and hotter, and the temperature gradually rises, but the sea breeze brought by the boat is still cool.

Along the way, I encountered a lot of fishing boats, big and small, but they sailed fast and disappeared after a while.

Ye Yaodong looked into the distance, there was a blue horizon in the distance of the sea, and a little further away, there were dots of small islands stretching at the extreme end of the line of sight.

He looked down at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock, and if his father's prediction was accurate, he would arrive in another hour.

The journey by boat is boring. Apart from playing hand copying nets, you can only stand there looking at the scenery, blowing the sea breeze, and being in a daze.

Fortunately, the people on the boat are all old Jianghu, and there is no seasickness. If there is no extra space on the boat, he can still bring a deck of cards to play cards together.

While everyone was looking around boredly, the eldest cousin lay on the edge of the boat and suddenly exclaimed, "There are jellyfish, the net is so heavy..."

In an instant, Ye Yaodong also felt that his hand-coiled net was also sinking, and the resistance from his hand when the fishing boat moved forward was even greater, and everyone all lowered their heads to look at the sea surface at the same time.

At the same time, the speed of the fishing boat suddenly slowed down, and everyone looked around again, very pleasantly surprised.

I saw many colorful jellyfish swarms floating on the surrounding sea, and it was so beautiful at a glance.

Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Father Ye had already stopped the boat.

He steers the boat ahead, how can he not know the surrounding sea conditions?Just stopping the ship also needs to slow down and stop.

After the boat was parked and anchored, Father Ye walked over excitedly.

"Dongzi, it's really the jellyfish flood season here, and there are many jellyfish floating on it in the sea ahead, in all colors."

"I caught one online."

Ye Yaodong took advantage of the boat to stop, and quickly picked up the handmade net with both hands.

It was very heavy. He estimated that this one weighed more than 30 kilograms, which was bigger than the one he got from them two days ago.

If the boat hadn't stopped, he wouldn't have been able to pick up the jellyfish.

Father Ye also saw the jellyfish in his net, and said happily: "This one is big, it's expected, one of them is as many as we killed before."

The big cousin's ones were not so easy to fish out, and he couldn't lift them after trying a few times. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I can't do this one here, it's too big, I can't pick it up, so I have to put it away first."

Everyone looked over, and saw that he tilted the net a bit, and a huge water-blue jellyfish floated to the surface of the water again.

"Good guy, the one in your net weighs at least fifty or sixty catties."

"I look at it and feel that it weighs sixty or seventy catties."

The eldest cousin nodded, "It's almost the same, so it's not easy to pick it up."

Ye Yaodong also glanced at it, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll get one up to have a look first, there are quite a lot of them on the surface of the sea, not bad for your one."

While speaking, he also fished out the one in his hand, and the water under the net suddenly dripped into the sea.

Everyone said in unison: "It's really big!"

"The one just now was bigger..."

"It's really the flood season for jellyfish, Dongzi, this is the right time..."

Chen Jianian also said happily: "I just said that this is the flood season for jellyfish, there is no mistake."

"Although there are a lot of jellyfish in the sea, it's hard to say how the market will be. We still have to sell the jellyfish that have been cut up on the boat. How long will it take for us to land, dad?" Ye Yaodong looked at Father Ye and asked, in his heart The head is a little fiery, a little anxious.

"This is already the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. If you want to dock, you can find a small pier in a village to dock at any time, but it is estimated that you will have to drive for a while to reach Yangping County. I am not sure how long it will take. We will continue to drive forward later. have a look."

Chen Jianian mentioned that they would go to Yangping County, which is a border county in Zhejiang Province near Fujian Province, and it was also the purpose of their trip.

"Don't worry, as long as your divided jellyfish are processed without any problems, someone will definitely want it. I have already asked you in advance. As long as you land in Yangping County, I can contact the factory to pull the goods over." Chen Jianian Guaranteed, for sure.

Ye Yaodong nodded.

"There is a fishing season here, so there should be fishing boats nearby, but the sea is so empty, there are only floating jellyfish." Ye Yaosheng said doubtfully.

"Is it possible that at this point in time, the ships have already sailed back to unload one after another? After all, they have to be killed alive." The eldest cousin pondered.

The second cousin also echoed, "It's very possible, after all, it's already noon, and it's time to pull a boat back, and come out after lunch."

Ye Yaodong also tends to think that the boat has already pulled back, or maybe it's a bit far away, and the sea area is wide, so the boat can't be seen.

Ye Yaosheng asked hesitantly again: "Third Uncle, Dong Zi, what shall we do now? There are so many things on this boat that we have no place to put them when we fish them up right now."

The others also turned their heads to look at the stacked baskets on the boat, and felt a little worried for a moment. Indeed, there was no room to put them on the boat, and there was only a path for walking.

It would be a pity if it couldn't be caught. There are so many, and I just happened to see it by passing by.

Father Ye thought for a while and said, "Let's put the fishing net down the slide, and we'll drag it while we're sailing, so we won't be able to lift the net. When we reach the place, we can drag it directly to the shore. The water level around the coast is also shallow, and it's not easy to sink after stopping the boat." It's okay, when the time comes, people will pull it up."

Ye Yaodong also thought about it just now, although the boat can't stop during the trawling process, if it stops, it will sink, but the water level on the shore is shallow, so it doesn't matter if it sinks, anyway, they still have strong labor.

Moreover, the load-bearing capacity of the net lifting machine is one ton. If the weight exceeds this weight, the net lifting machine will be overloaded.

Looking at the jellyfish floating past on the sea from time to time, there are very few small ones, and basically they are too big. The small ones weigh more than a dozen catties, and the big ones weigh sixty or seventy catties. One, the 30-jin net lifting machine cannot pull it up, because the weight of the fishing net itself is not light, and there are a lot of lead pendants tied to it.

If there are many nets, they must be slowly dragged to the shore by labor.

Others also thought it was feasible after hearing what Father Ye said.

"Then let's put the net down."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I'll go to the cabin and drag the fishing net out."

Several people became busy in an instant, helping to arrange the fishing nets one after another.

I have been out at sea for several hours, just standing there and watching, and now I finally have a place to use. The three men who were invited are very active.

Father Ye also went ahead to unplug the anchor, ready to sail.

When the fishing boat moves forward at a slow speed, they release the net gear from the tail slide, connect the net plate to the drag net and make it break away from the two net frame frames, and gradually release the two drag nets.

After Yigang released the predetermined length, Father Ye proceeded in the direction pointed by the compass, and their travel direction remained the same, but the speed of the boat slowed down because of fishing.

With these jellyfish floating on the sea surface, Ye Yaodong looked forward to this trip a little more.

The same goes for Father Ye.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the eldest and second child. It would be great if they came with him this time. With him, they won't be afraid of getting lost.

I didn't expect that the usually honest second child would be so decisive, but the eldest is more secure, so it's a pity that he didn't agree.

But you can't blame the boss, it's right to be cautious about unknown things.

Father Ye made up his mind to sell the jellyfish on the boat after landing. If he could get a good price, he would ask Dongzi to call back immediately.

The fishing boat was moving forward at a specific speed, and watching the villages disappear behind him, Father Ye continued to drive forward at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, you can intermittently see jellyfish of various colors floating on the surface of the sea, and encounter many fishing boats that are fishing for jellyfish.

The jellyfish in the fishing nets are all floating on the sea surface, and passing ships can clearly see them.
