Chapter 242 Retracting the Sticky Net

   When he pulled up to the surface of the water, when he saw the familiar huge white figure, he immediately felt ill and couldn't help cursing.

   "The grass is on the horse, can the jellyfish be caught? I have spent so long pulling it in vain, the grass..."

  He directly brought the thread to his mouth, and bit off forcefully. This branch thread is unnecessary, waste of effort, useless...

  Father Ye saw him pulling so hard in front of him, thought it was some big cargo, and excitedly leaned over to the side of the boat to look, but he didn't expect it to be a jellyfish, and he was speechless.

   "Maybe it was caught by your hook when I just swam past."

  "Unlucky! Dad, come and sail the boat. I'll put the net down. After the net is down, we'll cook noodles and eat."

"Um."

  The two kinds of fishing nets complement each other, but they only require a little manpower. At this time, turbines are not yet popular, and most of them are manpower-based. In fact, they can only be called small boats, and only a few boats will be equipped with some simple equipment.

  After the fishing net was lowered, Ye Yaodong began to arrange the cooking of rice noodles again. He was already hungry by now for the rice noodles he ate in the early morning.

Originally, when I finished hauling the net, I wanted to cook a few pippi shrimps and shrimps to pad my stomach, but who knew that the oarfish was delayed, and I forgot. I was so hungry that my chest stuck to my back.

  Same as in the morning, it is also boiled rice noodle soup, but with a few more prawns, it is even more delicious than the prawns just caught.

  The soup in the pot kept rolling. The father and son each held a bowl, scooped up rice noodles with chopsticks, and filled another bowl after eating.

   "Tomorrow, remember to pull out two celery sticks, adding celery will make it more fragrant."

   "Well, I forgot this morning. I chopped a cabbage and broke a few pieces, washed it and left in a hurry."

  Ye Yaodong finished the rice noodles in the bowl, drank all the soup, and then had another bowl of soup. The sea is windy, and drinking soup can warm the body and should not be wasted.

  Father Ye did the same. He poured the remaining soup and ingredients in the pot into a bowl, and began to eat slowly while holding it.

  Before the weather was not cold, it didn’t matter to eat cold food, but now it’s cold, cold food and cold dishes are especially difficult to swallow, and a mouthful of hot noodle soup can immediately warm up the whole body.

   After filling his stomach, Ye Yaodong added water to the pot, so he could drink hot water anytime he was thirsty.

   Then continue to work tirelessly at a constant speed on the sea.

  Drawing two nets in one afternoon turned out to be frogfish, and most of the longline catches that followed were black mullet, and a small half of groceries.

  It may be because they did not move their nests, they are all operating in this sea area, and also because this fish has indeed flooded recently.

  Although the fish is cheaper, the quantity is quite good. After the last longline hooks are retrieved, the whole boat is also full of bamboo baskets.

The ten bamboo baskets are for hooks, and the remaining ten are all toadfish and black mullet, and one of them is miscellaneous fish. The father and son stack the thread on the thread, and the fish on each other, so as not to crowd the boat. Be full.

  When the line was just harvested, it was so full that there was almost no place to stand. Only the oarfish near the edge of the boat still had a place to stand.

  After tidying everything up, they immediately drove the boat to the buoy where the sticky net was placed. The sun had already set in the west, and they needed to get the sticky net back as soon as possible.

  In order to catch bottom fish in deep water, his sticky net is lowered very deep. This is also because there are rolling wheels that can help collect the net and save effort.

After putting away the buoy, he pulled the sticky net and hung it on the rolling wheel, and the fishing net was drawn up along the rolling wheel, but the wind on the sea was a bit strong, and the scattered fishing nets were blown everywhere by the wind, and some were blown away. Hang on the parts of the machine.

  In order to quickly remove the fishing net, Ye Yaodong had to tear off the wires of the net and straighten the fishing net before continuing.

  He pulled the sticky net to make the rolling wheel turn, and the sticky net was pulled up bit by bit during the rotation of the wheel.

  Father Ye stood behind him, ready to collect the goods in the sticky net he pulled up.

  Father and son cooperated in a division of labor, one collecting the net and the other receiving the goods. The sticky net had just been rotated by the wheel, and Ye Yaodong saw a brightly colored sea red spot on the sticky net below.

   "Fuck... erythema..."

  Before he finished marveling, he saw that the sea erythema was so small. When he pulled the fishing net in his hand, the rolling wheel directly turned the sea erythema to him.

   "Damn, what are you doing with a big slap?"

   This fish is expensive, but it’s too small, right? This one is estimated to be about three or two.

  He saw the fish was still shaking and alive, hesitated for a while, and asked his father to get a hollow needle, stab it in the stomach, and then threw it back into the sea to release it.

   It is so small that it cannot be sold at a price. If ordinary small fish are caught, they will be caught. It is a bit wasteful to catch such a small sea red spot. It is better to release them.

   This sea erythema is a deep-sea fish. He just pierced a hole in its swim bladder to ventilate it. Otherwise, even if it is released, it will not survive, and its internal organs will explode and die.

  Because deep-sea fish have always lived in the deep-sea environment, where the water pressure is very high, they have already adapted to the deep-sea environment.

   And when it was salvaged, the environment they were in would make them unbearable at all, and the high pressure in the body would be out of balance with the outside air pressure.

  If the air is not released in time, the fish will have many reactions due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the body, such as eyeballs will protrude and enlarge, fish gallbladder will come out of the body, and some fish will even explode on the spot.

  In fact, the method of pricking the swim bladder with needles is used to keep fish fresh.

  Because the ship technology was not developed at this time, it may take three to five days to return to the open sea once, so the deep-sea fish are deflated and stored on the ship, and the dying fish can last for a few days.

  If the air is not released, the fish will explode and die soon after being salvaged. Even if it does not explode, it will die because it does not adapt to the water pressure on the boat.

  Deflate the fish as soon as possible, and the fish will not die so quickly.

  The same principle applies to release. If fish that have adapted to the air pressure on the boat are thrown directly into the sea, the fish will die because they cannot adapt to the air pressure in the sea.

  Poke a small hole in the fish, and then throw the fish into the sea. Although the fish will feel some pain, this hole can ensure the same air pressure inside and outside the body, so that it can survive after being put back into the sea.

  For example, hairtail is a kind of deep-sea fish. After landing, their bodies will undergo such a huge change, so the hairtail we see in the market often has its maw exploded.

  This is why we can't see live hairtail.

  After putting such a small sea red spot back into the sea, Ye Yaodong continued to turn the scroll wheel, but saw a series of toad fish coming up directly, and a bunch of messy aquatic plants...

   "Damn it, this one is big!"

  I saw a series of toad fish, one of which was very big. These fish were all stuck in sticky nets and couldn't move.

  When the fishing net was transferred to Father Ye, Ye Yaodong also went to help. A clamfish caught in a sticky net is difficult to escape and difficult to remove.

  Because of the pressure of the seawater, the toad fish were collected with their mouths open.

  These frogfish are extremely ugly with their mouths wide open. The largest one weighs more than 20 kilograms.

  Father Ye was curious about it for a while after he caught it. The baskets that were hauled today all weighed a few kilograms, and I haven’t seen such a big one yet.

   After taking down the series of frogfish, Ye Yaodong continued to pull the fishing net. With the help of the rolling wheel, the fishing net was retracted quickly. This was the most labor-saving fishing net he had ever collected.

   He harvested eight or nine frogfish in a row, ranging from seven to eight catties of big ones to one or two catties of small ones, with two flounder mixed in between. He didn't have time to tell whether the flounder was plaice or flounder when he collected the fishing net.

  From the underwater fishing net, you can see the figure of the fish being dragged up. Ye Yaodong just finished harvesting a flounder weighing 3 catties, and stretched his head to look at the sea surface.

   As a result, I saw a brightly colored parrotfish in the sticky net, which was 30 to 40 centimeters long.

   "Fuck...Dad, there's a parrotfish..."

   "Oh? Parrot fish? I thought this sticky net could only stick toadfish and flounder today."

  Father Ye looked up and was pleasantly surprised, but his hands didn't stop. There was a toad fish weighing about one catty stuck in the fishing net in front of him, so he didn't take it out.

   Anyway, this parrot fish will be pulled to him later.

   "It may be that the rain is relatively deep today."

  Parrotfish are named for their bright colors and mouth shape resembling that of a parrot. They are also known as "parrots in the sea".

  Ye Yaodong happily continued to rotate the scroll wheel, and pulled the parrotfish up. When the parrotfish entangled in the sticky net passed his hand, he saw a red thing in its mouth.

  He paused in doubt, then reached out and pulled it out, only to find that it was a small piece of red coral, probably a little bigger than the nail of a thumb.

  The parrotfish is the strongest chewer in the world. Its teeth are composed of fluorapatite, one of the strongest biominerals in the world. It basically eats a large amount of coral every day and then discharges white sand.

   He was not surprised at all when he picked red coral out of its mouth.

The current corals are worthless, even the red corals are worthless. The small one that is bitten off by it and stuck in the mouth can only be used to polish the face of the ring, or to decorate the bracelet, but it is also a free pick There, he slipped it into his pocket.

  Although it is not worth much, the color is bright and beautiful, and it is also very festive, and it will be valuable in the future. Such a little red coral will cost thousands of dollars.

  He can save a red coral ring for his wife. It still looks good when going out, and I heard that wearing a coral ring is good for your health.

  I died early in my previous life, but I have to live well in this life. If I have a chance, I can make more money while it’s not worth it.

   Gluttony, teeth hurt again, try hard to see if I can write another update, if I don’t force myself, I will definitely not be able to write
