Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 488 Understand the situation

   Didn’t meet them at first, probably because they were in a relatively marginal position. Anyway, the further you go, the more fishing boats you see, and everyone does not violate the river water.

  However, sometimes the jellyfish are not seen for a long time, and the distribution is not so uniform.

  Ye Yaodong was completely relieved when he saw so many fishing boats fishing for jellyfish along the way.

  There is a boat fishing, which means that there is a market, and someone is collecting it. I am not afraid that no one will want it.

  The other three men were also relieved. They were actually very worried that no one wanted them. They were working for nothing. Although they were only paid for their wages, it would not be good for them if the owner lost money.

  Father Ye also heaved a sigh of relief.

  At this moment, they saw a lot of boats in the sea ahead, all heading east at the same time, and the sterns were still dragging fishing nets, which were full of densely colored jellyfish, and there seemed to be a lot of them.

  Father Ye also thought in his heart that it should be almost here soon. The boats probably came to the nearby villages, and the fish nets were too heavy to be pulled up by manpower, so they kept dragging like them.

  He simply approached the nearest boat, and asked for directions in his crappy Mandarin with a southern Hokkien accent.

   But the old fishermen on that boat didn’t seem to be able to speak Mandarin at all, so they used their local dialect to tell them something they didn’t understand, and then the young people on the boat translated for them in substandard Mandarin.

  They knew that their village was ahead, Changjing Village, which belonged to Muhua Town, Yangping County.

  After hearing that they had arrived in a small village within the jurisdiction of Yangping County, everyone was relieved, as long as they did not go wrong.

After Ye Yaodong expressed his gratitude, he said to Chen Jianian: "All roads lead to Yangping. Since there are villages nearby that are also fishing for jellyfish, then we can just dock here. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Find out how far the specific location of the factory is, and contact me when the time comes, and just come over to pick up the goods, okay?"

  Chen Jianian nodded, "Okay, I've heard of Muhua Town, so let's stop at this village first, and I'll go ashore and find a place to call first."

  After reaching an agreement, Father Ye also followed the ship ahead slowly.

  The green hills in the distance are getting closer and closer, and the village is gradually coming into view. There are many large and small ships docked on the shore ahead.

   Finally docked.

  The fishing boat gradually approached the shore, and everyone clearly saw that the shore was densely packed with people, coming and going.

  The beach is covered with colorful transparent jellyfish, and the people on the shallows are all dragging their fishing nets to the beach.

  Each net seems to be dragged by more than a dozen people, and the jellyfish inside are densely packed, and the number seems to be quite a lot.

  Everyone couldn't help being speechless, the closer they got, the wider their mouths opened.

   "My dear, this beach is full of jellyfish, there are so many of them!"

   "So many people are busy on the beach, and many people gather around the shore, are they dividing? I guess the whole village, men and women, are here?"

   "There seem to be quite a few in the fishing net behind us..."

  Ye Yaodong and Ye's father looked at each other, they seemed to have underestimated the jellyfish's flood season.

   "There should be as many jellyfish in our fishing net as they do. The speed of the fishing boat was obviously much slower just now, but it doesn't seem easy to get them ashore?"

  Ye Yaodong suddenly wondered if the jellyfish at the stern could move...

  Father Ye is also a little worried, they are not locals, and they have no relatives and friends to help, so they can only rely on their own people.

   "Let's take a look later. If it doesn't work, cover them with handmade nets and drag them one by one to the shore. The only way is to use a stupid method."

  Ye Yaodong felt dizzy, "I can only do this first."

  The fishing boats in front of them stopped a little distance from the beach, and all the people on board jumped off and went to the stern to untie the fishing nets. The relatives waiting on the shore also swam down to help drag the fishing nets.

  Father Ye also docked the boat at the corner. After all, they are foreigners and unfamiliar with the place. It is better to go to the corner and keep a distance first.

  As soon as the boat stopped, Ye Yaodong first went to the stern of the ship to tighten the winch, and when the winch reached the net plate, he fixed the net plate on the net frame to make it out of the drag net.

  The other three cousins ​​and Chen Jianian also jumped into the water one after another to pick up the nets that Ye Yaodong had untied. Father Ye also went down with two handwritten nets after parking the boat.

  At this time, the jellyfish that had been dragged up and down in the fishing net all floated to the surface of the water. Before the fishing boat was moving forward, the jellyfish had been rolling in the sea, and it was not very real.

  Everyone saw it clearly, and felt a little excited. Such a large area, probably weighs several thousand catties. No wonder those people in front had to dispatch more than a dozen people to pull it.

   When Ye Yaodong captured Ye Gang, he could see it more clearly from the fishing boat.

  These jellyfish are the biggest ones, and one of them is as big as he collected before. There are still some fish mixed in the fishing net, but they were all squeezed down by the floating jellyfish just now.

  He looked at the boat next door, and the old fisherman on that boat seemed to be the boat his father asked for directions just now.

There are quite a lot of them in their fishing nets, and there are quite a few young and middle-aged men dragging them there. The old fisherman and a few young people also noticed them, but they just took a look and ignored them. busy.

  Ye Yaodong thought that everyone was busy there at the moment, and he didn't have time to talk, so he gave them a friendly smile, and went to work on his own business first.

  He jumped into the water, helped and tried to pull the fishing net with everyone, but found that he couldn't move much at all.

   "No way, Dad, let's drag them ashore one by one, and we can pull them when the number is reduced."

"good."

  He and his father took a handmade net and stretched it into the fishing net, and dunked a jellyfish out. Both of them tried their best not to let the skin touch it. This one looks good, but it is poisonous.

   "Be careful, don't get stung on your hands and skin."

   "It's so heavy, it's not so easy to drag each one to the shore."

   "This is still due to the buoyancy of the water. When the water is shallow, it will be even harder to drag it when it sinks."

  At this time, Chen Jianian said: "The fishing net can't be dragged up now anyway, so I can only fish it out one by one, so I'll go ashore and call my friends first, so that the goods on the boat won't be left there to dry."

   "Yes, yes, you should make a phone call first, and give away the goods on the ship first." Father Ye said quickly.

   "Okay, I'll go to the village first to see if there is a phone, and ask first."

  Ye Yaodong also urged, "Then you go."

   "I don't know how much the jellyfish on the boat can sell."

   "You'll know when you sell it." Ye Yaodong held a manual net in his hand, and dragged the jellyfish in it all the way to the corner of the beach.

   After finding an open space, he just poured it out.

   "It's really big, and it's not easy to drag this one. Dad, let's watch it here first, so that no one will watch it, and it will be stolen by someone. It's hard for us outsiders to talk."

   "Okay, then I will watch it in turn later, and I will take a break."

"Um."

  Ye Yaodong took his father's handwritten net and returned to the sea again. The four brothers dragged each other in twos and took turns.

  After dragging back and forth 4-5 times, he saw that the people on the next boat had dragged all the goods ashore, so he quickly handed the net to others, and climbed to the boat to get cigarettes.

  He is going to have a chat with the old fishermen or young people next door, to get close, and ask about the market of jellyfish, and he doesn’t know how many days they have been fishing.

  Thanks to his previous life, although he still speaks Mandarin with a strong Hokkien accent, at least he can speak it, and it’s quite fluent, unlike his father who has spoken dialects all his life, he can’t speak Mandarin, he can only listen.

  He walked over with a smile, pulled out two cigarettes for the old fisherman, and another two for the young man who had just communicated.

   "Hi, comrades. My name is Ye Yaodong. I just asked you for directions on the boat. Your family is really prosperous, and you are all strong laborers. This wave of jellyfish will definitely earn a lot and make a fortune."

  The old fisherman smiled and muttered a lot, listening to him a little confused.

  The young man explained: "My father can't speak Mandarin. He asked where you are from? Are you also from the area around Shatou Town?"

  Shatou Town is also at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, but it is under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province. The language spoken by the generation there is also very similar to that of southern Hokkien, with a strong accent of Fujian Province.

  Ye Yaodong did not directly or indirectly admit or deny, but changed the subject and said: "Do the fishing boats in the area over there often berth around?"

"Isn't that right, who made it closer? It's only been a few years. In the past, they dragged it back and brought it back. Now they directly land in our surrounding towns, drag it ashore and sell it directly, without dividing it. It may be Before the fishing team was disbanded, it was still a collective economy, and the goods had to be brought back.”

  Can you sell the whole thing?

If you can sell the whole thing, it will save trouble. People who are not familiar with the place here have to ask someone to boil water and dry it. No one stays there to watch, and they are stolen in a few moments. There is no reason.

He asked again: "How many fishing boats in your village go out to catch jellyfish? I think there are quite a few boats on the beach. You should be a big village here, right? I think there are quite a lot of brothers in your family. They must be earning a lot during this time." "

   "There are about 60 boats, basically small wooden boats, and there are only four boats as big as yours." Speaking of this, the young man also feels very proud, because his family's boat is also very big.

"We have 7 brothers and a few nephews in our family. We could have fished well, but we were delayed by the typhoon some time ago. It has been raining intermittently for almost half a month. Either it is windy and we cannot go to sea. .”

   "Only these two days have cleared up, and everyone has fished a lot. Fortunately, this flood season can last for another month or two. Otherwise, dozens of people in our family will have to drink northwest wind."

  Jellyfish are most afraid of the wind when fishing. When there is a northerly wind of 6~7, the jellyfish will sink to the bottom.
