Chapter 327 Random Fishing

  As soon as the night came, Ye Yaodong got up on time, took a look, and found that there was no wind or rain, so he prepared to go to sea as usual.

There is not much wind and waves on the sea, but the pier is not so lively tonight, and many ships are still docked there. In the past, when they went to sea at night, there were headlights everywhere outside the pier. Today, the number has decreased significantly. many.

  He reckoned that they should all be trimmed, and they all went up the mountain to cut branches. After all, just taking a day off can bring huge benefits.

   When he went up the mountain for rest the day before yesterday, it happened to rain at night and it cleared up in the morning, which was not a loss.

  Go to that sea area as usual, he has discussed with his father, and he will not go into the water today, and he will not drag the net first, but go to the beach to collect squid, and then cast the net in the afternoon.

   Otherwise, no one will pick up the stranded squid on the deserted island, and they will be cheaper to seabirds. It is too wasteful. The scorpion on the bottom of the sea can't escape anyway, and it will be too late to dig in the water after waiting for half a month or a month.

  The pitch-black light at night is not good, but picking squid with a headlight does not affect it. Even though it is not a high tide period, although the tide is receding, it has not receded very low, and there are not many bare beaches.

  The squids around were all washed up by the sea water and carried down in an instant, and repeated, and the number of stranded squids would be less, and they were all rippling back and forth in the shallow water.

  Ye Yaodong asked his father to pick it up on the small beach, and he went into the water to fish. Anyway, he was wearing rain boots, and the handle of the hand-made net was also long, so it might be difficult to fish, and the efficiency could be faster, probably costing money.

  The seabirds during the day were probably full, and went to sleep in the woods at night. When they were busy on the beach, no seabirds appeared.

  Otherwise, even at night, there will be seagulls, or gannets come out to hunt, and white-fronted fulmars will appear on the sea at night, and they often do not distinguish between day and night.

  I guess they were all fed yesterday.

  Ye Yaodong held a sack in one hand and a small hand-coiled net in the other, and slowly fished in the water, sharing labor with Ye's father.

  Catch six or seven squids in the water, don't be too cool.

  Just after fishing, when the sea water floated up again, he stood still, and it was enough for him to fish for a while.

  Feeling that the number of squid washed up by the sea water in front of him was a little less, he slowly moved his position.

  Wherever the headlight on his head turned, it also attracted a small piece of phototaxis fish to approach. The silver-white figure kept dancing under the halo of his headlight, rolling like boiling water.

  He picked it up in surprise, and was no longer surprised when he saw that it was anchovies.

  Anchovies are also small fish with phototaxis. They are actually called anchovy ji, phoenix anchovies, and they are not worth much.

   It’s just too extravagant. I just blew up sandworms a few days ago. That’s because A Yuan just stayed at their house to play. Mother Ye blew it up once. If she is asked to do it now, there is no way.

  The fish ran to the light by itself, gathered around, and jumped on the water surface densely all the time.

  He took out another sack from his pocket and packed it separately, so as to save a long time to pick out when the time came.

  I just brought two sacks into the water, just thinking that there should be fish and shrimp stranded when the tide goes out. If I can catch a few fish, or pick up any conch and shellfish, there will be a place to put them.

  He picked up a net at random, there were fish and squid, picked out the squid and threw it into the sack, and then poured the anchovies into another sack.

  With the interference of these small fish, his speed of catching squid also slowed down, which made him a little depressed. Squid is much more valuable than small fish, but there is no way, he still needs lighting.

  As the tide receded, he gradually moved forward, and he caught two mackerel and one big red octopus, and he put them all in the anchovy sack.

When it was daylight, he turned off the headlights, and the anchovies stopped boiling around him, and the woods on the island became lively. There was no longer only the sound of waves, but all kinds of insects and birds chirping. The sound was endless, and seabirds gradually came out of the forest to hunt.

   Just after the school of anchovies disappeared, seabirds came again, which is really dizzying.

  With the interference of prey-grabbing birds, he can no longer work hard. From time to time, he takes a hand-coiled net and swipes back the bold seabirds who are preying on food.

  And as the sky brightened, the number of seabirds gradually increased, making people unbearably disturbed.

  Ye Yaodong waved back the seabird that was about to **** the squid in front of him for the nth time, and cursed, "Fuck you, you came again after leaving the anchovies for a while, and you will be stewed sooner or later."

   "Dongzi, take a break, let's have a meal first!"

  He responded casually, and saw that the squid in the sack was seven or eight points full, so he fished it a couple more times before dragging the sack to the shore, along with the half bag of anchovies he had just caught.

   "How much did you pick up?" Father Ye straightened his sore waist and kept twisting.

   "Let's just have seven or eight points full, and eighty catties should be enough."

   "Didn't you pack two bags?"

   "Half of the bag here is anchovies. It was dark ahead, and I turned on the headlamp, and the fish was attracted and ran over."

   "My bag is similar, I can't pick it up as fast as you can. Now that so many seabirds have flown out, it will be hard to pick it up in the future, and the tide will rise again later."

Ye Yaodong looked at the seabirds everywhere on the surrounding beaches, and he also had a headache, "I can pick up as much as I can, if there is not much to pick up when the tide rises, I can just drive out and drag a net, and come back at noon, anyway, in around here."

   "Let's see later! Let's get something to eat first. My legs are numb from squatting there all the time, and my back is sore. Take a rest."

   "Well, these are first carried on the boat and poured into the basket first."

  Just as the father and son were carrying a sack and walking towards the fishing boat through the water, they found that a fishing boat was coming in this direction on the sea not far away.

   The two walked and watched the distance, paying attention.

  When they put the sacks on the boat, the fishing boat got closer and closer, and both father and son climbed into the boat. When they saw that the boat was not much bigger than them, they didn't run away immediately, but watched there.

  As it approached, Ye Yaodong also recognized it, and heaved a sigh of relief, "It's Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng's boat."

  The boat also recognized them, was slowing down, and then the two boats docked side by side.

   "Dongzi, it's you, why didn't you go to trawling the net? I thought whose ship was docked here."

   "I put branches around and planned to catch squid, so I didn't go to drag the net. It just so happened that there were a lot of squid stranded on the beach here, and it was dawn to pick them up here."

"Ah? Is that so?" Xiao Xiao said with some regret, "I want to step on a spot in advance today, and I plan to put branches to catch squid tomorrow. Thinking of the first time you took us to the surrounding sea area to trawl, remember that there are It’s an island, so after I just hauled a net, I came to have a look at dawn.”

   "That's a coincidence, the branch I put down yesterday was caught in this area yesterday afternoon."

   "Forget it, let's look for it again." Ah Zheng said with some regret.

   "It's okay, the sea area around this small island is so wide, you put yours, I put mine, I put it in the east of the island, you put it in the west, it will not have much impact."

  In the future, the number of squids will only increase day by day, and it is impossible for him to catch all the squids. Moreover, the more the surrounding branches are thrown, the more squids will be attracted to stay.

Xiao Xiao said happily: "That's okay, that will save us looking everywhere, we also heard from my father that it is better to put branches around the island, so I thought I had paid attention to this island before, so I came here today to have a look, step on it point."

   "What about your branches? Who will trim them for you?"

   "Let my father and mother go up the mountain to cut, and we will go out to drag the net as usual, without delay, or if we don't come out one day, it will be a day's loss."

   "Okay, our Brother Yao has also become very hardworking."

   "What nonsense, what's the harvest of the squid you picked all night?"

   "It's okay, it weighs more than 100 catties, but the seabirds around are too annoying, you can see for yourself."

   Both Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng looked at the beach not far away, and saw groups of seabirds walking and pecking there, and new seabirds flew over from time to time.

   "There are so many seabirds, they will eat up all the stranded ones."

   "Who said no? So it's almost enough to be able to pick up these. I'm about to take a break, cook some noodles, and continue working after eating. After working for several hours, I'm exhausted."

   "That's just right. You cook more, we're hungry too." Ah Zheng said happily.

   "Damn, you're really welcome."

   "It's rare to meet you at sea, of course I will give you a meal."

   "Okay, then let you **** father's handicrafts, which most people can't eat."

  Father Ye just put the noodles in, his hands shaking as he was about to put salt into the pot, thought for a while, and added a small bowl of water.

  Then put the clams and shrimps that were picked up on the beach just now.

   "It's very convenient to put a coal stove on board, and we'll make one when we get back, saving us from eating cold dishes and meals every day."

   "It's just that it's troublesome to cook. It's hot and you just mess around with it. It was autumn and winter at that time, so I just wanted to get a coal stove on board. How is your recent harvest?"

   "It's okay, but it rains and winds every two days, and the number of trips to sea is less, but I have earned some. When this wave of squid fishing is over, I can pay you back the money from A Cai."

  Ye Yaodong said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to spend the money. If you are tight, put it away first, and settle your home first. I'm just asking about it."

   "I earned it intermittently for the past two months, and each person shared a little, which was enough for the family's expenses, and I also saved a little, so my money wasn't tight."

   Ah Zheng also nodded, "I am in debt, and I feel uncomfortable. If we can pay it back, we want to pay it back as soon as possible. No debt is light."

   "Then I can make a good fortune fishing squid."

   "We thought so too."

  The three of them were chatting, and the noodles in Father Ye's pot were cooked, "You guys crawl over here and eat first, this pot is too small, you have to cook another pot."

   "Okay~"

  Both of them ran over unceremoniously to fill a bowl for each of them.

   "Hmm~ delicious, Uncle's cooking skills are pretty good~"

   "Well... very fresh, you guys still have quite a complete set..."

  Ye Yaodong was a little skeptical, how could it be delicious?

   Seeing that there was still some leftovers in the pot, he scooped it up for himself, emptied the pot by the way, and asked his father to cook another pot.

  After tasting it...

   "Father, did you do it on purpose before? This is not cooked well?"

  Father Ye rolled his eyes at him, and said as a matter of course: "I have tasted it today, tried it..."

   It’s almost Chinese New Year. There have been too many people coming and going at home recently. I can’t code with peace of mind during the day. I have to delay the second chapter at night. I can’t come out until 1-2 o’clock. I’ll watch it tomorrow
