Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 196 Continue to work if you are tired

  Father Ye sailed the boat in the direction the sardine was swimming, intending to run after it. With a compass in hand, he was also an excellent helmsman when he was young, and he was not afraid of losing his way at sea.

   What's more, there are more and more ships on the sea at this time, all of them are attracted by sardines, and they are all desperately casting their nets.

  Father Ye just passed a tin boat that was trawling nets, and he clearly saw several big deep-sea fish piled up on that boat, as well as a boat full of sardines, all of which were caught in the sardine storm.

  He was overwhelmed with envy, "You must know that a few days ago I asked your mother to weave the net in advance. The trawling saves trouble, the scope is wide, and you can get a lot of money."

  “There is no net hauler, and small boats have to manually pull the net from the tail slide to the deck. When the cargo is too heavy and there are few people, they can’t pull it up.”

   "That's also less labor-intensive than throwing the net by hand. You can't catch a big fish even if you throw 6.7 nets."

   "There is no way, and I couldn't know it earlier. If I knew it earlier, I would ask my mother to weave the net earlier. The light at night is not good."

  He is also very envious of the big fish on other boats. Just now he saw a bluefin tuna on a boat.

   "It's dawn and the light is good. After setting the hooks, it's almost enough to rest. Let's catch two big fish on the target."

  Father Ye hates having to rest and spin around, but he has no strength in his hands, so he can only watch at the moment.

  After daybreak, more and more boats gathered on the sea, all of which were attracted by the overwhelming seabirds, and the exclamation was louder and louder.

  When passing by several fishing boats that were pulling in their nets, they could hear their joyful discussions, guessing what kind of big fish this net was.

  The fishing boats on the sea are really going to make a fortune today.

Father Ye looked at the sardine storm on the sea with joy and regret, "I don't know if your elder brother and second brother are on the sea here, and if there is a chance to meet them. It would be a pity if they didn't. Let you pick up the money as you please."

  Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Who knows, the sea is so big and wide, who knows where they drove to work, I hope they can catch up."

   "There are more and more boats, and each of them will make a lot of money today."

  Looking at the goods on other people's ships, and then looking at the goods on his own ship, Father Ye didn't think there was too much, he just felt that he was getting less, his heart ached to death, his facial features were all wrinkled, and he lost the joy he had when he first started shipping.

  Ye Yaodong also felt that it was a pity that he didn't catch such big items as tuna and ghost knife, but thinking about it, he was already very lucky, fortunately he borrowed a fishing net temporarily as a backup, otherwise he would vomit blood and die right now.

   "Huh? Hikari's boat."

  Ye Yaodong put the hook and looked into the distance, a familiar iron boat appeared in his sight.

  Father Ye also saw it, but he was setting out the hooks, and it was inconvenient to get close to the fishing boats over there. They were all trawling nets over there. If they were not careful, their hooks would be easily entangled.

  Ye Yaodong didn’t put any floats on purpose this time, and let all the hooks sink to the bottom of the sea for bottom longline fishing, so as not to be entangled by fishing boats trawling on the sea.

  Those fishing nets are now working on the surface, catching sardines and big fish that prey inside.

  After an hour, all the row hooks were released, and he threw the buoy down and left it alone. Longline fishing is such a trouble-free way.

  Looking at the endless school of sardines on the sea surface, he raised his hand and threw the net with great arrogance.

   Continue to work if you are not tired!

  After resting for more than an hour, he regained some strength and asked his father to steer the boat closer to the fish school. Fortunately, there was no wind today, and the waves were brought by big fish.

  He took aim at the ghost-headed saury that was hunting not far away, and whoever made it bright and eye-catching would use it for surgery.

  Ye Yaodong cast the net towards it, covering it very smoothly.

"bingo!"

  Father Ye was overjoyed immediately, and hurried to help drag it.

  The joy of eating the ghost-headed saury was interrupted, and it struggled violently in the fishing net to flick the fish's tail. The father and son pulled the net harder than pulling the sardines, and did not dare to let go.

  Ghost head saury, also known as dolphin mahi, is an attractive fish in the ocean. Its color is green, so some people say: "This fish looks like a fake fish."

  It is also particularly voracious, often chasing flying fish and sardines and other surface fish, and sometimes jumping out of the water to hunt for food. It is the companion fish of tuna and swordfish.

  In fact, there are many kinds of fish in the ocean, and even fishermen who live by the sea cannot recognize all the fish nearby. The ghost-headed saury is still highly recognizable because of its bright colors.

  Its body is elongated and flattened, the front part is tall, and the back gradually becomes thinner. The head is large and the back is very narrow. The back of the male head is raised and square, and the fish face is steep like a ghost head, which is also the source of their common name "ghost head knife".

  At the same time, it also has the nickname of "underwater fox". Like a fox on land, it will lie down and play dead in times of crisis.

  At this moment, it was pretending to be dead, and after struggling for a while, it stopped moving, which made it easier for them to pull it up.

  After the fishing net was untied, the fish swung its tail in the pile of sardines alive and kicking. It was too big for the sardines.

   With a beautiful big fish, Father Ye is also happy. If there is one, there will be two. There is still a lot of time today, so if you don’t die, keep going!

  He excitedly used the long-handled fishing net he made yesterday to flick the ghost knife from the pile of sardines to his front.

  As life gradually passes away, the brilliant color of its fish body will soon fade away, leaving only a dull gray in the end.

  Father Ye held it directly in his hand. This was the first time he caught this kind of fish. He said cheerfully, "It's one meter long and weighs more than 20 catties."

   "A few more!"

   "Go bloodletting, let me throw a net!" Father Ye put down the ghost knife that was still opening his mouth, and excitedly went to try throwing the net with his hand.

  Ye Yaodong also let him go, let him have a good time too!

He picked up the ghost knife that was no longer beautiful on the deck, patted it, and went to get the knife on tiptoe. At this moment, sardines were scattered everywhere on the deck, and there was almost no place to step on it. There is still a small open space in front of the cabin.

  Using too much force on the hand, the knife actually started to shake at this moment. It is estimated that it will be difficult to even eat when I go back at night.

Shaking his hands, he laboriously cut the white membrane between the gill silk and the gill cover, cut off the artery, let the blood flow to the gills, raised the pectoral fin, and cut a short and shallow cross section under the pectoral fin, which can cut off the sea fish's gut. Another major blood vessel.

   Cut a hole at the small fin of the fish tail to ensure that the last blood accumulation can be disposed of, and then throw it aside and slowly let the blood out.

   "Dongzi, come and help!"

  Hearing his father eagerly calling for his help, he hurried forward to help, "Is it a bomb fish? You didn't catch the ghost knife?"

   "I didn't see it around. The ones over there are too far away. Now there are more and more boats on the sea. Let's not run around, so as not to get a good position. Grab whatever is in front of us."

   Indeed, there are more and more ships. At dawn, the number of ships on the sea can be counted with ten fingers. As the sardines migrate forward, more and more ships will be attracted.

   "This bomb fish is also good. It's bigger than the ghost knife. Although the price is not as good as it is, but the weight is there. Dad, you really know how to catch it."

  Ye Fuye was very happy. For fishermen, there is nothing more satisfying than catching valuable big fish.

   "Hurry up and pull it up, there are a lot of sardines in this net."

   Needless to say, he also knew to use his strength, but this net was heavier than the previous ones.

  Father and son finally pulled up the net with all their strength, and casually scattered the fish on the deck and piled them on top.

   There are too many of them, so they can only be thrown on the deck casually.

  Ye Yaodong dragged out the bonito alone, knowing that his father was having a good time, he took the initiative to let the old man catch the blood.

  It is the same as the ghost knife, cut the artery first, then cut the pectoral fins, and finally cut the small fin of the fish tail, and throw it aside when it is done, so that it will be like a brother to the ghost knife, and bleed together.

   "Dongzi, Dongzi..."

   His father needs him again...

  At this time, with the flow of the sea, their boat gradually got closer and closer to Ah Guang and the others. When Ah Guang and his father were collecting the net, they also saw their father and son struggling to collect the net.

   "Dongzi, Dongzi."

Hearing the sound, Ye Yaodong looked up, his hands were trembling due to excessive force, but now he diverted his attention, the net he was holding was almost loosened by the big fish struggling inside, but luckily he reacted quickly and caught it again. up.

  This time there was still a bomb fish inside. Father Ye could only catch the closest fish to their boat. Fortunately, there was another gannet inside, and Father Ye's net was very accurate.

  After pulling the net up again with great difficulty, Ye Yaodong heaved a sigh of relief, "I'm exhausted."

He swung his arms and looked at the boat of Ah Guang and the others not far away, and saw that their net was also pulled up. Although he took a quick look just now, he also saw a ghost-head knife inside, the color was conspicuous , at a glance.

   I don’t know how many good ones Ah Guang has caught, so he shouted at that guy, “How many big ones have you caught?”

   Ah Guang narrowed his eyes with a smile, "There are many."

  The two boats were a little far apart, and it was inconvenient to talk, so the two greeted each other and went to work separately.

  Father Ye also felt his arms were sore, and planned to take a rest and continue with a meal. Physical work consumes energy very quickly, and he was hungry before the whole morning passed.

  Ye Yaodong also felt that physical work would make him hungry quickly, but he was not in a hurry, the fish had to be bled first.

  By the way, put the first Ghost Head Knife, which was almost drained of blood, into a large plastic box with ice cubes.

  Of course a big fish should be treated like a big fish, and there must be a luxurious single room. This is a new one he prepared. The yellowfin tuna didn’t enjoy it a few days ago, so I neglected it.

  Ye Yaodong was holding the lunch box, and the lunch box almost fell on the deck when his hands were shaking. Fortunately, he picked it up quickly, otherwise he would either drink the northwest wind or lick the deck.

   No pigeons! ! I am really reliable! !

   Praise yourself! ! I will get rich if I work so hard!

   The third chapter of the leader has been updated! Tomorrow, I will work hard to renew the monthly pass. The 1500 monthly pass plus one chapter is still owed, and the 2000 monthly pass will be added soon... I want to cry...
