Chapter 318 Squid

  He woke up on time at night, seeing the three boys on the bed sleeping crookedly, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

  Ye Chengyang was still lying there, sleeping with buttocks stuck out, in the same posture.

  Lin Guangyuan is so big that he actually sleeps with his feet up on the iron railing at the end of the bed?

  His head under Ye Chengyang's ass?

  Ye Chenghu is even more exaggerated, both feet are on the ground, but his upper body is still lying on the bed...

   I don't know how they slept, the three of them can still sleep like this?

  Without a quilt at all, the sleeping positions are more and more strange!

   I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m startled when I see it, and I don’t know how they slept last night, is it the same?

  It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I can take a few photos and let them take a look at themselves tomorrow.

  He just hugged Ye Chenghu up and lay down, and when he heard him grunt, he turned over and rolled inward again, regardless of the postures of the other two. The night is still long, and they will still move when they are lying upright.

   After covering them all with quilts, he went out.

  Generally, around the Grain Rains season, the rain will be relatively concentrated. It did rain intermittently for a long time before, and this month it has cleared up occasionally for a few days.

  Everyone took advantage of the good weather to go out to sea as soon as possible. During this period of time, a hundred fish came ashore, and it was the time when the fish were so plump.

  Because of the accumulation of a winter, the fish has accumulated a large amount of nutrients at this time, and it has reached the spawning period, so the body of the fish at this time is fat and firm.

  After Ye Yaodong put down the row hook, he went to put the ground cage, and then dragged two more nets. The harvest was very good, and he caught a large amount of mackerel and swimming crab, as well as other fish and shrimps.

  With the help of the net hoist, they don't have to work hard at all when they wind up, and they have a lot of cargo.

  But today he still went to fish for sea cucumbers and abalones. After dragging three nets, he called it a day and went to the reef. Father Ye didn't say much.

   The value of abalone and sea cucumber is much higher than these fish products, and seeing that Dongzi has been safe in the water several times, he feels relieved and doesn't worry too much.

   After putting on all the diving equipment, Ye Yaodong put on a snorkel and went straight to the bottom of the sea.

  He doesn't plan to collect the ground cages today. The time for releasing them is too short, and the harvest is very average. The harvest of each ground cage is very small. Originally, the number of cages he released was very small, only one row.

He plans to collect it when he arrives tomorrow. If the weather is bad, he will collect it two or three days later. It’s not a big problem. There are hidden reefs nearby. Once the cage is put down, it will be stuck there, and the probability of being washed away by the waves Also relatively small.

  Store it for a day or two longer, and the goods will be more, so that it will be stuck there every day, and he has to go to the ground cage first when he enters the water.

As soon as he stepped into the water, he found that there were more fish and shrimps around him than he had seen in the previous few times when he went into the water. It may also be because the surrounding area is a submerged reef and it is not easy to trawl. It seems that the fish and shrimps tend to gather more and more, which is convenient. Without him, it should be good to put a ground cage for a day or two.

Today he doesn’t need to look for cages everywhere, he has plenty of time, and he doesn’t care about those fishes and shrimps as usual. He goes straight to the sea cucumbers on the bottom of the sea, planning to find sea cucumbers first, catch a few small green dragons by the way, and dig some abalones in the last ten minutes. Fill the net pocket.

  The ideal is full, and the reality is also very powerful.

   Sea cucumbers crawling on the bottom of the sea like snails are easy to find as long as they are not hidden in seaweed or seaweed.

  The black but not autumnal ones lying there are quite eye-catching, but there are not many of them. He wandered around and only found seven or eight. He still had to go to the seaweed and seaweed to pick them up.

   Searching along the seaweed bushes, when he passed a small coral reef, he saw many transparent long things like bunches of grapes hanging on it.

The shapes of the corals on the surrounding coral reefs are very similar to the branches, and they are colorful. Looking at it closely, it looks like many lively elves gathered together. When there is a slight flow of sea water, they will dance together, driving a series of "grapes" on it. Follow the swing.

   He paused curiously, and carefully identified, these bunches are like grapes, do they seem to be squid eggs?

  The substance inside the transparent ball is very clear. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see the little squid jumping inside.

  Coral reefs should not be touched randomly. It takes a long time to form, and there are living coral polyps inside. If you touch the coral on the seabed, it will die immediately, and some types of coral are poisonous.

  Ye Yaodong has always cherished his life. He never touched those he didn't know. Even if he recognized the squid eggs hanging on it, he didn't move.

  All the babies were born, of course it was allowed to hatch naturally.

   At the same time, he was also pondering in his heart, it seemed that it was the season for squid to lay eggs, and these squid eggs should not have been laid for a long time.

  The squid fishing season is from the end of April to May, just in time for it to lay eggs!

  Thinking so in his heart, he also went to look around for a cage, and saw a few squids moving in the cage closest to him. He was a little moved, but it was not the time for him to use his brain.

  These ground cages can be collected tomorrow, and there are more nets left.

   It took a lot of time to find sea cucumbers and catch Xiaoqinglong. Now he has to dig abalones to fill the net bag.

  He dug familiarly, and when he filled it to 70% full, he floated up quickly, and his time was just right when he got back.

  Father Ye also took advantage of the time when he went into the water, and cooked a pot of seafood noodles with a coal stove. When he landed, he was ready to eat without delay.

  Before, I had been trawling the net to pick up goods, and I didn’t have time to find food and drink.

  After he landed, he poured all the harvest from the net bag into the basket, and then said to Father Ye while eating: "It seems that the squid fishing season has come recently, and I saw some squid eggs on the coral reefs under the sea."

  Father Ye nodded, "It's almost the squid fishing season. Go back and get some branches to tie up and throw them into the bottom of the sea. When the squid flood season is here, catch more squid."

   "Well, I thought so too. When I get back, I'll go to the mountain and cut more branches."

  Squid usually like to swim in the open sea, and at the end of spring, they swim to the sea in groups to lay eggs.

  It likes to lay its eggs on coral reefs or branches, hanging on them like bunches of grapes.

  So they can bundle things like branches into bundles and throw them into the sea to lure squid to lay eggs. When groups of squid swim to lay eggs, they can then set up nets to catch them.

  Father Ye is an old fisherman who knows better than him how to use branches to catch squids. This is a native method. Ye Yaodong knows it, but he has never done it.

  After eating one bowl, he picked up another bowl. There were a lot of sword shrimp and Pipi shrimp in it, which were very fresh. He even drank the soup before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

   "These squids die after laying eggs. Let's go to the nearby island to see when the tide is low at 3-4 o'clock."

  Father Ye has no objection, the third child is already a qualified fisherman.

  Ye Yaodong rested for a while after eating, and then continued to dive into the water. After going back and forth 3 times, he went to retract the hook, and took a break by the way. Diving is also a physical activity.

   Fortunately, there are people who can help, and they work in rotation. Father Ye is working there to collect and arrange the hooks, and he is watching from the side.

   This time they hung a lot of sandworms, and as a result, they harvested a lot of squid and blackhead, as well as a lot of mackerel.

  The mackerel weighs more than five or six catties, and they are very fat. Now it is their spring flood season.

When there was a branch line at the back, Father Ye was struggling, so Ye Yaodong took a copy net to help. It was a mackerel weighing more than 20 kilograms, with a body length of one meter. When it landed, it struggled exceptionally. fierce.

  Father Ye fought fiercely with it for a long time before he pulled it to the side of the boat and was picked up by him.

   Both of them were very happy, "This one is big enough!"

   "It can be sold for a good price."

  "Retract the last hook, go to the reef again, and grab some more goods before going back."

  Father Ye hesitated, "Will I go into the water later?"

"ah?"

   "I'll replace it with you, so that you won't be overwhelmed."

   It is better to have a biological father, he is his own.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "That's diving, it's not a joke. The deeper the seabed, the greater the air pressure. No one will accompany you when you go into the water. You are not familiar with this, and you will be in danger. I'll do it, you will be there." It's fine on the shore."

   "Knowing that there is danger, you just jumped down at that time, and it took so long to go down, and you were tossing around..."

   "Well, because I'm sure." Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's chatter.

   Don't interrupt him, he can go on for a long time, I don't know if it's because he has lived with his mother for a long time, the two are sometimes exactly the same.

  After collecting the hooks, Ye Yaodong drove the boat towards the reef, but when he passed near the Oarfish Island, he saw many white unidentified objects covering the beach from afar.

   And as the waves washed away, many white figures were sent to the beach in the shallow water.

  He already regards this place as his lucky island, and this sea area is his lucky sea.

  Reminiscent of the previous discovery, he directly turned the bow of the boat to the island.

   "Those are squids, right?" Father Ye saw it and guessed.

"should be."

  Squid grows fast and can only survive for about one or two years, and die immediately after laying eggs.

  The tide is ebbing now, and the water level on the beach is very shallow. He can only go around to the side to dock, and then get off the boat with Father Ye and his tools, and prepare to walk to the beach by wading through the water.

  As soon as they entered the water, the father and son discovered that the white thing surging with the tide was indeed a squid. As the tide receded, it also ran aground on the beach.

  Ye Yaodong joyfully picked up the handmade net and took a look at one. It was dark white and smelled a little bit of fishy smell, and then he handed it to his father.

   "It's still fresh."

  Father Ye also smelled it and touched its belly. The flesh is plump and elastic, and the bone plate on the back is also intact, so he said happily: "Hurry up and pick it up, the tide is just ebbing."

   "Go to the beach first, there are quite a few of them."

  The two walked up the water, Ye Yaodong also handed one of the sacks in the bucket to his father while walking.

   "I feel like I can't pick it up..."
