In the afternoon, Ye Yaodong went to collect the ground cages. Now there are only four rows of ground cages left, and they can barely sell for seven or eight yuan, and occasionally they are lucky enough to sell for ten or so yuan.

  The weather has warmed up recently, and there are quite a lot of sea bass. He kept two big ones for cooking fish soup, and two Huangshan fish for steaming.

   There is no need to keep too much, just enough for dinner and tomorrow, and come back to collect it the next morning.

  My wife and children love to eat shrimp, so he also kept two catties.

   There are other miscellaneous goods. I also collected a whole basket and sold it for more than 8 yuan. When I am not going to sea, I can also subsidize my family.

  When the fish was sold and sent to the old house, I happened to see Ah Guang and Ye Huimei were there, and they also brought a lot of things.

Ye Huimei was scolding in the main room, "I don't know if the old lady is getting old? Okay, what can I tell her? It was blown up when it broke out a few years ago. Fortunately, the lively atmosphere of the Chinese New Year will be refreshed, and it will soon be relieved." coming…"

   "Stop talking, it will be hard for the old lady to hear it again." Ah Guang said soothingly.

  Ye Yaodong saw a box of bird’s nest on the table, and picked it up curiously, “Where did you get it, do you still have this good thing?”

   "I heard that pregnant women are good to eat bird's nest. I bought two boxes two days ago, and I happened to bring one box for the old lady today."

ah?

  Ye Yaodong stared at Ye Huimei who was a little uncomfortable.

So fast?

  Mother Ye also looked over happily, "Are you pregnant? Why didn't you make a sound so fast?"

   "Isn't this thinking that the month is still young?"

   "Go and talk to the old lady, and make her happy too, get better soon."

"oh…"

  Maybe people are in good spirits on happy occasions, or maybe the old lady is afraid of causing trouble to her children and grandchildren, so she can get out of bed and walk around after lying down for only two days.

  Ye Yaodong and Father Ye can also go to sea with peace of mind, otherwise none of them would dare to walk away.

  Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng’s fishing boats also came back the day before, and they will test the water tonight, and he specially waited for the firecrackers to be set off before everyone went to sea together.

  The first time they went out, Ah Zheng's father was worried and also boarded the boat together, but they felt that it would be better to have a familiar boat with them for the first time, so that they could take care of them.

  Besides, they had seen A Dong's luck a long time ago, so they decided to work with them today.

  Ye Yaodong has no objections, and he has a companion together, so he won't be bullied if he encounters a big boat again.

  The two fishing boats rushed out of the port impatiently, sailed side by side, and sailed into the endless darkness, heading for the same sea area. The fishermen's "field" was on the sea.

  The sky at night is dotted with stars, and the brightest morning star twinkles to guide the direction. It is the brightest star in the east before dawn.

  Suddenly became the leading brother, Ye Yaodong also wanted to be on the safe side, so he took them to the sea area of ​​Oarfish Island that he often visited in recent months, he thought that area was his blessed land.

  When he arrived at the place, he waved his flag at their ship to remind them.

   This is what they agreed in advance.

  Everyone does not have communication equipment, and it is inconvenient to communicate and shout at sea. Flags will be used when multiple ships go to sea together.

  Ye Yaodong found a place and put down the longline first. After Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng got instructions, they drove the boat to a farther place and started to release the net.

  Of course they are trawl nets. In the village, they mainly trawl nets. A few people learn from Ye Yaodong to catch them with both hands.

  Everyone is working in the same sea area, that is, they drive separately, and try to keep the distance between the two ships without affecting each other.

  After he put all the row hooks down, he drove the boat to the reef again. There was a row of ground cages on the boat that he had prepared in advance, and he planned to put it on the reef for a try.

  Before considering that there are many rocks around the reef, the ground cage is easy to be hooked. If it gets hooked, it will be impossible to go into the water in cold weather, so I have never thought about letting it go.

  Recently, the weather has warmed up, and his mind has become active again. When collecting the cages during the day, he specially pulled a row to take home, and planned to take them for a try today.

  He even brought his diving equipment, just in case.

  Father Ye was puzzled when he saw that he drove the boat to the reef again, "Why are you here again?"

   "I brought a row of ground cages, and I plan to put them here to try and see if I can catch the little green dragon."

   "They are all hidden reefs, they will be hooked and cannot be pulled up."

   "Don't be afraid, I brought the equipment, it should be fine in April."

  Father Ye saw that he had made all the arrangements, so he just let him go. This kid is very big-minded now.

  He also helped to open the ground cage, grabbed one end, and let it sink slowly.

   "Okay, I'll collect it when I'm about to return. I'll go to the internet cafe. Ah Zheng and Xiaoxiao think the first net will be pulled up soon, so let's drive over to have a look."

   "You sail the boat, I'll go and tidy the fishing nets first."

  Ye Yaodong drove the boat in a straight line, and the sea stretched as far as the eye could see.

   There were only two of them in this area, and the distance between them was relatively far. He drove for five or six minutes before approaching them, and then slowed down.

  Xiaoxiao shouted at him on the boat: "You haven't got off the net yet?"

   "Not yet. I just finished setting up the row hooks. I plan to come over to have a look. Haven't set up the net yet?"

   "It's only been delayed for two hours. If you plan to delay it for a while, why don't you take a look at it first?"

   "Take it, take it, it's too long, it's not easy to get too many goods."

   "Okay, let's take a look first."

  The two of them have little experience in trawling nets, but Ah Zheng's father has experience, and he first skillfully winds up the twisted nets.

  By the way, their fishing boat also has an old-fashioned stabilizer linked to the engine, which will save a little effort. The fishing boats of the fishing team are still well equipped.

  Father Li asked the two to hold the tow rope of the trawl net, and then wind it around the stabilizer car bit by bit, and slowly drag each part of the trawl net out of the water section by section.

  The goods in the fishing net also appeared in their field of vision little by little.

   "Damn, a lot of bass."

   "Fuck, you're blind, there's an oil spot." Ye Yaodong shouted excitedly, as soon as the fishing net was dragged to the surface, he saw a fish with a different pattern.

   The pattern of grouper is very special, and it can be distinguished from other species of fish at a glance.

"where?"

   Ah Zheng fiddled with the fishing net in doubt, and saw the oil spots covered by a few bass.

   "Ah, it's really an oil spot! I've earned it..."

  Father Li also said happily: "This network is good, it's a good start."

  Oil spots are actually called moiré group, generally known as electric group, because of its rich oil content, it is also called oil spot.

The body length of this species is 13-15 cm. It is oval in shape and light brown. There are 5 dark brown spots on the side of the body. The spots are bifurcated on the abdomen. There are no spots on the side of the body and on each fin. It often inhabits islands. and the coast of the mainland.

  Father Ye also smiled and said, "I'm lucky. Apart from oil spots, other fish are also good. It's spring, and it's the spawning season for bass. Recently, there are a lot of them."

   "There are a lot of crabs. The boat you bought is really worth it. It's only 2,000 yuan, and it also has a stabilizer, which saves effort." Ye Yaodong saw how easily they dragged the fishing net up, envious.

   When he got back, he went to remind Lin Jishang to take a look.

   "I also feel that I have earned it, and it is also related to my uncle, otherwise I would have been cut off."

   "Let's go, let's get off the net too." After Ye Yaodong greeted them, he took the time to release the net.

  After the stinging sting, there is a sound of spring thunder, and everything recovers. The seafood in the sea will also increase its activity, and there will be more and more goods. However, there is a lot of rain in spring and the weather is not very good. The time to go to sea is limited.

  Father and son worked together to lower the fishing nets and then kept working around at a constant speed. They were used to it, but when the nets were lifted, Ye Yaodong couldn’t help but start complaining about it. There is no harm if there is no comparison

   "We also have to get a machine quickly, to save trouble."

   "Pull up first."

  Most of the whole net is full of sea bass, and there are also a lot of shrimp and crabs. Recently, there are more sea bass, and the price has also dropped. It only costs 2 cents per catty, but fortunately, there are a lot of them.

   After pouring out all the goods, the two continued to get off the net. Apart from eating, they raced against time and did not stop.

  Three nets were dragged in a row, but the last two nets had more mullets, and the second nets dragged a hill of mullets, as well as other miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs.

   Regardless of sorting, he dumped all the fish on the deck. Ye Yaodong planned to collect the ground cage first, and he also had to spare a little more time, and later he had to collect the extension line.

  The tide was rising at the moment, and the reef could not be seen, and it was flooded by the sea, but he knew it well, and the buoy was floating with the waves.

  He slowed down ahead of time to avoid hitting the rocks before he leaned over to collect the buoy.

  He tried to close it, probably because the head and tail were far away from the center of the reef, but he pulled up the first cage without hindrance.

  During the process of harvesting, he stuck his head out to have a look, just in time to see a little green dragon hooked on the fishing net, and when he was harvesting it, it fell down again and fell into the fish collection bag.

  He grinned happily, "It's not in vain, I saw Xiao Qinglong."

   "How many?"

   "I don't know, I just saw two prawns on the fishing net, and a few nine-section shrimps, which also fell into the fish collection bag."

   "Pick it up first..." Father Ye also put down the work of sorting and helped out together.

  After the first ground cage was put up, both father and son were so happy that they could not close their mouths from ear to ear, and looked at the fish collection bag with bright eyes.

   "There are sea cucumbers! So there are sea cucumbers under here!" Father Ye was very pleasantly surprised.

  As soon as it was pulled down on the deck, the fish bag was still dripping, and before they were untied, they saw the gray and chubby sea cucumbers inside, and the heads were almost catching up to his two taels of meat.

   "Made, it's not in vain."

   As he spoke, he untied the fish collection bag and dumped all the scattered goods inside onto the deck.

  The 4 little olive-colored green dragons crawled wildly on the deck as soon as they escaped from the bondage. Ye Yaodong ignored them, since they couldn't escape anyway.

  He happily picked up a thick sea cucumber and weighed it, "It's two or three, it's really fat."

  Father Ye also grabbed one with one hand and said happily: "There are three of them, and they are not small."

   "There are still 9 ground cages, there must be many more."
