After going up as usual, he leaned against the side of the boat, panting and pulling the line, pulled up the net bag, and asked his father, "Have the ground cages been pulled up yet?"

   "Four of them were collected, and there were two more. I was about to collect them when I saw you surfaced."

   "Oh, it's good if you don't get stuck again." He is a little physically exhausted now, and he can't go down for a short time, as long as he can get it all back.

  Father Ye kept the ground cage, and looked distractedly at the net bag he just pulled up, "Are all abalones?"

   "It's about the same", he said, and his hands didn't stop busy, pouring out all the goods in the net pocket, "There is a little green dragon, and a..."

   "Eastern star spot?"

  Your sister Dong...

  If it wasn't for his father, he would have responded directly.

   "It's a white-lined red perch! It's not the eastern star spot. I couldn't see it clearly underwater just now, so I thought it was the eastern star spot."

  Father Ye's expression of surprise disappeared in an instant, "Oh, yes, the tail doesn't look like it, I was wrong."

  Ye Yaodong didn't bother to deflate it, so he threw it into the basket beside him, and he was going back soon anyway.

   "Why is it all abalone this trip? There is only one little green dragon."

  He raised his eyes and looked at his father. Just now he kept telling him not to go into the water again, but now he feels that the goods are running low?

"It took a while to find the ground cage. The ground cage went down into the sunken ship. I searched around for a long time but didn't see it. I found it later in the sunken ship. I also saw this white-lined red perch in the sunken ship... "

   "By the way, let's try to pull up the diesel engine on that boat next time."

   "It's not easy to pull, it has sunk to the bottom, and I don't know if it can be used after soaking for a few days..."

   "Let's talk about it then."

  Maybe we can wait for the net lifting machine on Linji to arrive before making arrangements, saving a little effort.

  The rolling wheels on the ship have limited load-bearing capacity and cannot drag the machine, otherwise the rolling wheels can be used directly.

  The net hauler used for trawl nets has a large load-bearing capacity, but the speed is slow.

  The net rolling machine can pull the fishing net fast, but the weight it can bear is not heavy.

  The speed of the rolling wheel is slow, and the load is limited, and the borrowed one on the boat is also very old. He plans to move it and return it.

It’s not very useful to him. After a few times, the sticky net was damaged badly, and he didn’t put it on again, let alone just one, just playing and testing the water. It’s better than trawling and longline fishing. The ground cage is also more practical and trouble-free than it.

  Father Ye collected the last two cages in a row, and they went around to look for Ah Zheng's little boat, planning to call them back together.

  This time it was Ye's father who drove the boat, and Ye Yaodong went to pick the goods, but he hadn't seen the harvest in the cage behind, so he volunteered.

  A row of ground cages with ten nets, added him into the water twice, and harvested half a basket of little green dragons crawling around. He estimated that there should be more than 30 of them.

  There are also a lot of sea cucumbers. He caught more than a dozen of them the first time he went into the water, and the ground cage caught a little less. After all, sea cucumbers don't like to move and stick to the bottom layer. There are about 30 of them.

  But it is big, and the small ones are two taels, and each of them is basically more than three taels.

  Ye Yaodong fiddled with it, and secretly picked out two half-length ones, two-thirds ones, and obviously small ones, and threw them into his bucket.

   This is something to take home and eat! Thinking that his younger sister was also pregnant, he took out two more.

   Let’s have some abalone too, the two boys haven’t eaten yet...

  Forget about the little green dragons, the quantity is not much, last time one person ate all of them.

  He picked and picked, took a few more fish and threw them into the bucket, then took the bucket aside alone.

  At this moment, Azheng Xiaoxiao and his boat were still working. Seeing their fishing boat approaching, they slowed down and let the two boats approach.

   "Are you ready to go back?"

   "It's almost, it's almost 5 o'clock, and it's 6 o'clock when we go back."

   "Okay, it's inconvenient for us not to have a watch. Get up the net immediately, and go back when you collect it."

  They waited for a while, the machine really saves effort, and the speed of pulling the net is faster than manpower pulling, and a large bag of fish is directly pulled to the deck by them.

   "Today's harvest is not bad. Looking at this bag, it weighs more than 100 catties."

   Ah Zheng said happily: "It's pretty good. It's better than putting ground cages along the coast. There are more stocks. I didn't prepare bait at night, otherwise we could also put hundreds of hooks by the way."

  Xiao Xiao also smiled and asked, "How many nets did you haul today? How was the harvest?"

   "I only dragged 3 nets, which is okay. There are quite a lot of fish on the longline, and they are not small, and they weigh two to three hundred catties."

   "It's better to harvest from the open sea."

   "Otherwise, who wants to spend a lot of money for a big boat, isn't it just to go to a farther sea area to catch more?"

   After chatting casually for a few words, they speeded up and rushed back.

   After a tiring day, everyone is a little bit eager to return.

  From two o'clock in the night to five or six o'clock in the afternoon, people will be extremely tired after drifting on the boat for such a long time. Ye Yaodong is especially tired. He just sat on the ground, leaning against the cabin and waiting for the shore.

  Just as he dozed off drowsily, the fishing boat docked and felt the boat slow down, and he instantly woke up.

  Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng originally thought that he was also trawling normally, and the types of fish that everyone caught should be similar, so they didn't ask more questions out of curiosity.

  Who would have thought that when they lifted off the boat, they would actually see the little green dragon? abalone? And sea cucumber?

   "Damn it, where did you get these? Don't tell me it was dragged by a net?"

  Ye Yaodong said triumphantly: "Hmph, it's a secret. There are so many people with mixed eyes, so I won't tell you."

Ah Cai was also pleasantly surprised when he saw the good products he sent over, "Are there abalones and little blue dragons? Ah, there are also sea cucumbers today? You have to be the good guy, and little blue dragons can get some by sticking to the net occasionally. Abalone and sea cucumber are not easy to salvage."

   "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and weigh, I'm exhausted, hurry up and go back to eat and sleep after weighing."

   Too tired, otherwise the price of sending it to the hotel in the town might be higher.

   They are all old acquaintances, so Ah Cai didn’t say much, and put all the other goods away first, and weighed them for him first.

   They are all rare and good things. Everyone is very curious and has no opinion, and they all ask where he got them.

   "Adong has dug abalone more than once, where did he dig it?"

   "The most common one is that after the earthquake, the reef was lifted up, and the reef was dug on top. Are there still?"

   "Why haven't we encountered such a good thing? Is there any more, Adong?"

   "There should be more, right? Seeing that he has dug it up several times..."

   "There are still sea cucumbers today. I haven't seen them before, and I don't know where I caught them. Aren't these things all in the bottom of the sea? It's not easy to fish, and they are very expensive..."

  Ye Yaodong smiled and didn't say much, just said: "If you are lucky, you will catch a little. I don't know if you can meet again next time..."

  Before I thought that the reef sank and would not appear, so I just said it was the reason for the reef coming up.

   Now, of course, he can't tell them the specific sea area, and he will continue to collect wool. Even if they can't get to the bottom of the sea, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

   "How much can this sea cucumber sell for?"

   "It's so big, how about a dozen dollars?"

   "Boom... so expensive... I'm going to get rich again..."

   "Where did you catch Ah Dong?"

  After Ye Yaodong settled his accounts, he ran away directly, ignoring the acid words and discussions behind him.

   After he walked far away, he took out the sea cucumber that was pressed by several fish in the bucket, and Father Ye stared straight at it.

   "When did you hide it? You are a prodigal, sixteen yuan a catty, and each one costs several dollars. It's so expensive, how can you swallow it, you bastard, hurry up and sell it..."

  Father Ye snatched the sea cucumber from his hand, threw it back into the bucket and wanted to sell it again, but Ye Yaodong snatched it away.

  After knowing the price and looking at the few in the bucket, he also felt heartache, but he kept them all, why are they so petty and sent them back.

   "We have finished weighing, why send it over, keep it, it's not for you to eat."

  Father Ye wanted to find a stick when he was so frustrated, but there were no sticks and bamboo strips around, only straw.

   "How can you swallow it... You can't eat enough, you want to stay and taste everything you see... Like a child who hasn't grown up, you want to eat everything... It doesn't feel bad..."

  Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's distress, "Two for the younger sister, two for the old lady, and two for Ah Qing, let them eat one a day."

  It’s not that he hasn’t eaten sea cucumbers before, this time the quantity is not much, he really didn’t want to keep it for himself, his parents didn’t even have a share.

  Father Ye had nothing to say after listening to his arrangement, he just let out a heavy groan.

   "It doesn't matter what you eat, and you still eat such expensive things. Others' homes still have pickles and rice porridge every day, so you just care about it. Just like Ah Guang, what kind of bird's nest should you buy, and send it to me to be angry with your mother..."

   "This sea cucumber, see if they can swallow it..."

   "I don't need money for anything. I think it's easy to make money. No wonder two people can become friends. Why don't you learn from your elder brother and second brother..."

  Ye Yaodong picked out his ears, and babbled along with his father.

   After throwing a few sea cucumbers into his bucket, he gave him two more fish, "Read it? I'm done, I'm going back, I'm exhausted."

   "You also know that you are exhausted, but you are so willing..."

   "Sea cucumbers are good for your health, so there's nothing to be reluctant about. Let's go."

   He has to talk about it every time, so he has to hide it.

   "What can't be eaten? Go back and see if your mother doesn't scold you to death, the old lady will feel so bad."

   "Are you thirsty?"

  Father Ye glared at him angrily, the corner of his mouth was still muttering about prodigal things...

  After seeing the sea cucumber, Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but kept asking how much it was.

  Although she didn't know the price, she also knew that it was a good thing, not cheap.

  How could Ye Yaodong tell her, he only said a few dollars, not the specific figure, and he kept one half, and only one was intact.

  After hearing that it was only a few yuan, Lin Xiuqing didn't bother anymore, but she didn't enjoy it to herself, so she cut it into small pieces of stewed eggs and ate them with the family.

   It wasn't until after the meal that Ye Yaodong gave her the invoice, and she didn't know the price until she saw the price.

   Immediately felt distressed and beat him hard a few times!

   "Ouch~ my god~ it's so expensive~ how can you talk about it..."
