Chapter 1027

Ye Yaodong was in the light rain, and after bleeding the fish, he took it to the fish hold, and later added crushed ice to it to keep it fresh.

Such a top-tier fish is worth his personal effort.

After finishing all this, he put on the rain cape again, preparing to boil water to take a bath. After being rained on for a while, he had already sneezed several times. He felt that the medicine he caught during the day would be used tonight, but he didn't expect it to be for himself.

The rain was dripping, continuous, and kept falling there. The rain intensity didn't get heavier, but the sky was terrifyingly dark, gloomy and sunless.

In the past, at night, there were moon and starlight in the sky, and the sea surface looked sparkling under the moonlight. Tonight, the dark clouds were dense, and the sky was as pitch-black as the sea surface. If it weren't for the faint light on the boat, and the Fengshou boat not far away also shining with light, everyone would be panicked.

It was also fortunate that everyone finished their work and returned to the cabin to continue lying down, and they couldn't see the ink-like night.

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at the sea surface while boiling hot water, and muttered there, "This pitch-black is scary enough, making it look like crossing a tribulation... Holy crap, isn't it crossing a tribulation? That Mao fish just now was crossing a tribulation."

"Hmm... it's not easy to grow that big. 100-jin weight is almost time for the fish to leap over the dragon gate, but the tribulation failed, was beaten back, was struck to death, and it was cheap for me, miserable~"

"It's a pity, Amitabha, will eating this fish that failed the tribulation directly strengthen the body? Becoming an immortal on the spot is forget it, strengthening the body should be barely okay?"

"Damn, no wonder they say that children who eat the fish maw of this fish will grow taller. It turns out to be this reason. Then selling it like this is a pity..."

No one talked to him, so he was thinking and muttering to himself alone. After muttering for a while, he also felt that selling it like this seemed quite a pity?

In the future, just that one-jin-weight fish maw is really worth a house. This kind of fish maw is more valuable the bigger it is, especially the fish maw of such a rare Mao snapper.

Except for the top-level yellow-lip croaker maw, the second to fourth places are Mao snapper, large yellow croaker, and Mi fish.

Yellow-lip croaker maw has the saying of being as expensive as gold. One jin of yellow-lip croaker maw is worth three or four million yuan. Mao snapper maw is slightly worse, but it is also worth a house. Moreover, if this fish maw is kept intact, storing it for forty or fifty years is not a problem.

Thinking of this, he instantly couldn't sit still. Although the money now is valuable, he doesn't think he can take the money now and generate 1 million in the future. He still knows how many jin and liang he has.

Thinking of the two sons at home who won't grow tall in the future, he returned to the pilothouse, preparing to ask his father, regardless of the water still boiling in the pot.

At first, he was busy being happy about such a big harvest and didn't think much about it, just thinking that he had struck it lucky. This fish was too valuable, and the whole person was happy and confused.

After finishing up and clearing his thoughts, how could he be willing to sell it like this? It's not like he hasn't seen money. His assets on hand are not small now, and he is no longer that poor boy.

Moreover, he is not in a hurry for money, and the cash on hand is not small. Selling this thing directly for money doesn't mean much to him. At most, it's to brush up some favor and show off. It's better to save it in his hands and accumulate more good things.

"Dad, can such a big Mao fish be worth a thousand yuan?"

"Isn't everyone talking about it there? This depends on the boss's offer. It's hard to say how much it will sell for."

He decisively said, "Then don't sell it. I'll take it out and dry it myself, dry it and save it."

"What are you saving it for? Such an expensive thing, do you still think about keeping it for yourself to eat? Are you stupid? If it's left for a long time, what if it's eaten by insects? Then it's a loss. Take advantage of when it's valuable and sell it for money quickly."

"It won't be eaten by insects. Put it in the rice jar and change the rice diligently. Anyway, you and Mom are eating at my place now, and the rice in the rice jar at home is running out quickly, so it won't go bad."

Moreover, this thing is more valuable the older it gets, and more nourishing the older it gets. Storing it for decades will definitely not go bad. It's value-preserving, more value-preserving than gold, and the value flips faster.

Oh my, thinking of this, I can't sell it even more.

What gold to buy, I should hoard some Mao fish maw. It's comparable to gold in price, and it has to flip several times.

"But... if you keep it in your hand and don't sell it, it's equivalent to a loss. Hundreds or thousands of yuan worth of things, don't you hurry to sell it for money? What if it's not valuable in the future? Then isn't it a huge loss?"

"It won't be a loss. Look at me now, am I short of those hundreds or thousands of yuan? What's more, what if it's not valuable? It can still be eaten by children, let them grow their bodies, grow a little taller. Look at our family's genes?"

"What chicken sound dog sound?"

Ye Yaodong's eyes nakedly hinted and swept up and down his father's height, "I mean, look at our family's inheritance. I'm like someone picked up, standing out from the crowd, you guys one by one..."

He reached out and gestured on his father's head, sliding his hand to his own chest, "See? The whole family is this height. This thing can also improve the next generation of the family."

After not lacking food and drink, people's desires expanded, and other needs emerged, so it is said that people's desires are endless.

Ye Fu looked at his gestures, his face turned black, and he kicked over directly, kicking it just right.

"Ouch, ouch, are you murdering? I'm just stating a fact. Is it worth getting angry from embarrassment?"

"Get out of here, do whatever you want." Ye Fu glanced at him angrily, closed the cabin door directly, and blocked him outside.

"Cut, this old man is very bad."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his calves, sneezed twice again, rubbed his nose, and then looked up at the sea surface, and supported the conical hat on his head to avoid being blown away by the wind.

Due to the rain, he felt that the demon wind blowing over was colder, and he shivered again.

"Really going to freeze to death in this spring, cold to death."

The surroundings were pitch black, only the lights on the boat were flickering. The rainwater was like ink, dripping down with a rustling sound. On the sea surface, darkness and rain were intertwined, forming a void, as if it were the abyss of the universe, making people feel endless silence and loneliness.

Fortunately, there was the sound of the machine breaking the silence, otherwise, if he were wandering on the deck alone, he would really be scared.

After sneezing wildly several times in a row, he carried a basin of hot water into the cabin, wiped himself, changed into clean autumn clothes and trousers, put on a sweater, and drank a mouthful of hot tea before feeling comfortable.

It was just that the quilt was still damp as usual. He couldn't help but curse twice in his heart. He couldn't tell his father, he had to tell Chen Shi later.

Lying comfortably in the quilt, half-asleep and half-awake until dawn, he finally woke up. He touched the watch under the pillow, shone it with a flashlight, and instantly he sat up with a start.

It's actually 4 o'clock, damn it?

This sleep actually made him confused and sleep for seven or eight hours?

The sea probably dragged two nets, right?

Turned his head to look at the other beds, they had already changed shifts.

He hurriedly climbed up, put on cotton clothes and cotton trousers, went to the door and looked, the rain was still falling there, and instantly he shrank back, put on the rain cape, and wore the conical hat.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, still pitch-black, without a bit of light, except for two dark figures on the deck squatting there sorting out the goods.

"Dragged up a few nets, are these just hauled up?" In the rain, they had to speak louder, all relying on shouting.

"Just hauled up for a while."

"Is there any thunder and lightning?"

"Haven't seen it in the past hour or two."

Seeing that both of them were bowing their heads and busy there, he didn't want to disturb them, so he went up to the pilothouse to find his father.

Ye Fu was also waiting for him to wake up and take over the shift. As soon as he saw him coming, he hurriedly stood up.

"This rain keeps falling, it didn't stop all night, you must not be sleepy, be alert."

"I know, how many nets have been hauled up from last night until now?"

"Four nets, right? This net was just put down for a while. Fish jump fiercely on rainy days. The harvest of these nets is not bad, but if it gets windy and the rain gets heavy, we have to go back quickly."

"Know, is there any thunder and lightning."

"That's not there."

Ye Yaodong nodded. If it keeps raining like this, that's fine.

"Did you kill that fish?"

"Which fish? Oh~ no, isn't it raining all the time? Where can I hang it to dry after killing it? The cabin is not ventilated, it will go bad if hung inside. It's better to let it stay in the fish belly first, it can keep fresh for a few days, and then open the belly and take out the fish maw to dry after going ashore and going home."

"Really not selling?"

Ye Fu was still struggling with this. He felt that being able to catch and sell for hundreds of yuan was already striking it lucky. Not selling it quickly and holding the money in his hand, he actually wanted to keep it at home and waste things.

Feeling that if this is kept at home, it will eventually end up in his stomach, where can it be taken out to sell for money?

That prodigal thing, everything has to taste two mouthfuls.

If it is not sold immediately, the longer it is kept in hand, the less likely it is to be sold. In the end, it will only be smashed in hand. That is something worth hundreds or thousands of yuan.

Ye Fu was sitting there just now, thinking about it and feeling more distressed. If you have money, you can't put it there and be prodigal.

Such expensive things, how can they be worthy of eating into their stomachs? Thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Not selling, keep it at home for backup. In case the three children at home don't grow tall, there is nowhere to buy this thing, unlike that Peng fish gill, if you have money, you can still buy it at a big store. After selling the one that was hung there to dry, I felt a little regretful in my heart, and suddenly I got into the eyes of money."

At that time, I suddenly knew the value, and my heart expanded a little, and I didn't think carefully. If someone wanted it, I immediately sold it for money.

The small common people's greed for cheapness was at work, just thinking about exchanging for more money, and for a while, I didn't think that I was already a rich man with small assets.

In the final analysis, I was used to being poor before.

In an emergency, sometimes the mind does not change immediately.

Poverty is a disease. If you have money, you can't cure it all at once.

"Who knows if it's a lie..."

"Oh, don't be long-winded. Look at me now, am I short of those hundreds or thousands of yuan? These hundreds or thousands of yuan are easy to earn. If the things are sold, it will not be easy to buy back."

In case the son eats and drinks well in this life, and the height grows fiercely, it is even better if it is not used. Keeping it for 40 years will be worth a house.

Ye Fu shook his head and couldn't help him. The son is big and not controlled by the father. If he doesn't want to sell, then forget it. If it is really put in the rice jar and preserved well, and not eaten by insects, it will not go bad. When you are really short of money, take it out.

Ye Yaodong sat in the pilothouse and didn't take off the rain cape. Although it was thick and extra space-consuming, it was difficult for people to turn around when they squeezed in, but the windshield was full of rainwater, and the vision was not very clear, and he couldn't see around the fishing boat, so he needed to come out and take a look from time to time.

After Ye Fu went to sleep, he focused on taking over the fishing boat. In this weather, he had to be 120% alert.

Fortunately, it is already 4 o'clock, and there is not much time until dawn. After dawn, the light is good, and it is not dangerous at night.

The spring rain is thin and continuous, and it has not been heavy, but it has not stopped.

Until the sky brightened little by little, the darkness was gradually dispelled, and the rain slowed down a bit, but the whole sea surface was still shrouded in fog and rain, appearing hazy, and the visibility was extremely limited.

Also because of the rain all night, their fishing boat did not dare to drive toward the East China Sea, but was constantly operating on the way back.

Yes, the fishing boat was returning to work after the rain last night, and did not continue toward the East China Sea, but did not return directly, just shortened the distance of the return journey, and kept turning around in the surrounding area.

In case it rains heavily, drive back with all your strength, and you can save a lot of time.

This is also because it rained as soon as it came out, and it was not reconciled to go back directly. When it came out, refueling and adding ice had already cost hundreds. Thinking that if you can catch a little more, you can catch a little more to reduce losses.

Because he picked up a Mao snapper that crossed the tribulation, it was considered a profit, but the Fengshou boat did not. Although the two old men were worried about safety, they were reluctant to go back like this.

Continuous drizzle, continuous.

When the day was completely bright, Ye Yaodong also shouted at the two people who had just finished picking up the goods and were standing at the cabin door to avoid the rain to prepare to start the net.

At this time, lightning began to flash on the horizon again. The sky, which was a bit bright because of the dawn, began to become dim and cloudy again.

Two lightning bolts streaked across the sky one after another. He also raised his head, frowned and said, "Don't cast the net after hauling this net. The rain that just got smaller has lightning again. Let's go back directly."

Chen Shi and another boatman hurriedly nodded. They had long wanted to go back. When there was thunder and lightning at night, everyone had already retreated, but at that time, the wind and waves didn't look big, and the thunder and lightning flashed and disappeared.

I didn't expect that after finally waiting until dawn, it started lightning again.

Ye Yaodong asked them to prepare to start the net, and then he began to connect to the Fengshou boat. If the rain got smaller this morning, it would be okay to barely continue working. Now that it started thunder and lightning again, it would be better to go back as soon as possible. Don't gamble on the sea. Who knows when this spring thunder and spring rain can stop.

Moreover, he was also a little worried about the goods at home. It had been four or five days since he last docked. A small part should be barely dry, but most of them were still in a semi-dry and moist state. I don't know if it rained, and the nylon bag on the head is useful, and whether it will be attacked by wind and rain.

When the net machine started the net, he also connected to the Fengshou boat, but the one who answered the line was an old friend of Uncle Pei. Uncle Pei stayed up all night and went to sleep this morning. He changed shifts in the morning.

As a worker, others couldn't be the master, so they had to wait for Uncle Pei to wake up two or three hours later to ask and make a decision. Moreover, he said that the current net of the Fengshou boat had only been cast for half an hour.

Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment, but still told him to follow the Dongsheng boat, slowly return, work while returning, and connect again when the Fengshou boat's time to collect the net is up, and call Uncle Pei to wake up by the way.

This is also considered to have a buffer wait, and then they will see the situation, whether to continue on the road or continue to work?

As for him, he was also determined not to cast the net anymore. After collecting the fishing net, he planned to drive the fishing boat back slowly.

The fishing net has to take ten or twenty minutes to collect the net before and after. If you don't need to cast the net, after the net is hauled up, just put it on the deck first.

Ye Yaodong also walked out of the cabin, looking at the large net of fish goods dumped in the continuous drizzle. The harvest was really good, looking like four or five thousand jin.

Fresh fish goods were jumping on the deck, crabs were crawling everywhere, and only some fish that were crushed to death by the full bag of sea goods because they were out of the water didn't move. The two people below also quickly took baskets and started sorting.

At this time, another flash of lightning streaked across, splitting the dark clouds on the horizon in two, and the sky brightened for a moment before dimming again. Ye Yaodong stood on the deck and watched the lightning strike the sea directly, and then the rumbling sound also sounded in his ears.

"Damn it, really, go back, go back..."

He was also the second-in-command of the Fengshou boat. After this lightning struck the sea surface and the thunder sounded, he hurriedly connected to the Fengshou boat again, directly directing the boatmen to collect the net and go back.

It's just that the other party was a little hesitant. Maybe the boatman felt that he was too young, young, and had a criminal record, so he looked down on him a little, saying that he was going to wake up Uncle Pei and talk about the situation.

"Grass!"

After he cursed, he opened the pilothouse and walked out, looking out from the pilothouse. He felt that the rain had gotten a little heavier, but at the same time, he also discovered that a piece of white things was floating on the sea surface, drifting with the wind in patches.

Another flash of lightning streaked across the horizon, striking the distant sea. The momentary light also allowed his 5.3 vision to see that the patches of white were fish with their bellies turned up.

That large area was all electrocuted by lightning.

Water is conductive, and the conductivity of seawater is imaginable.

But seawater also has resistance. Even if thunder strikes the sea, it will not cause harm to the fish in the deep layer.

It's just that the fish living in the layer below the sea level probably weren't so lucky, because they were close to the sea level, so they had to withstand a very large current, which also led to their ultimate fate of becoming grilled fish.

"Damn, life is important."

He didn't even think about going to scoop these goods, but immediately returned to the pilothouse to control the boat, preparing to accelerate and return. But before running away, he had to accelerate and approach the Fengshou boat, and at the same time, connect again.

"Damn it, hurry back. This thunder and lightning is constant, don't you want your life? Hurry up and go, just say I said it, if you don't..."

"I know, I'm already starting the net, I can accelerate in 10 minutes, you can drive and go first..."

It was Pei Fu's voice that interrupted him.

Ye Yaodong was instantly relieved, and didn't approach his side. Anyway, the connection was agreed upon. He directly adjusted the direction and went first.

Ten minutes, in this foggy weather, at most drive out of the Fengshou boat's line of sight. When accelerating later, it should be able to keep up.

The boatmen saw at the cabin door that the fishing boat had accelerated and returned, and their hearts were settled. They also felt relieved and took off their rain capes and lay back.

This trip was not in vain, and it was worth it. He didn't feel distressed at all, and drove the boat back without any worries.

It's just that as the fishing boat drove longer, they got closer to the near sea, the sky got brighter and brighter, and the rain gradually got smaller. Until they drove to the range of the county town, the rain stopped completely, the sky was bright, and there was no more gloom and darkness in the deep water area.

He also sighed in his heart about the ghost weather. It was just a sea area separated by two hours, and the weather was very different. It's just that I don't know if it rained in the village.

Ye Fu was sleeping in the cabin and didn't know that the boat had returned, and no one specifically shouted to wake him up. Anyway, it had returned, there was no work to do, and Ye Yaodong was driving the boat.

Until the fishing boat was close to the village pier, Ye Fu was woken up and knew that it had returned.

"Isn't the sky fine? So bright, why did you come back?"

He had already walked to the cabin door and put on the rain cape. Looking at the bright sky, there was no rain at all, so he hurriedly took it off.

The boatman who was peeing next to him said: "You were asleep, you didn't know at all. When the sky just brightened, the lightning on the sea surface, one after another, the thunder one after another, not to mention how scary it was. It was clearly early morning, but looking at that sky, it felt like it was already evening, pitch-black and scary, so I hurried back directly."

"Like this? I didn't hear any movement in the cabin."

"The sound of the machine is in my ears, and people are half-asleep and confused, so it's normal not to know. I heard a little thunder, climbed up and looked, and knew it was so scary. Later, I simply didn't sleep. Where can I still sleep? I've been watching on the deck."

"As a result, on the way back, the sky gradually got brighter and brighter, and the rain got smaller and smaller. At this moment, it doesn't look like it rained at all."

Ye Fu nodded, "The weather didn't look very good last night, but there wasn't much thunder and lightning after nightfall, so I felt a little relieved. I didn't expect it to start again as soon as the sky brightened. It's good to come back early, feel at ease, the weather on the sea is hard to say."

After speaking, he went to the fish hold to check the harvest and found that there was not much difference from before he went to sleep, so he walked to the pilothouse to find Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong had already taken off the rain cape and threw it directly on the floor of the pilothouse. Seeing his father coming, he hurriedly ordered him, "It's almost docked, let the people below hurry up and move the goods out in advance."

"Already moving."

Ye Fu muttered again, the weather before going to sleep and waking up now, only a few hours apart, and now it is only 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning.

"Fortunately, I connected to Uncle Pei several times in the morning and asked someone to wake him up. Otherwise, when he wakes up now and sees that there is no wind or rain at all, he might complain that I came back directly."

"That shouldn't be the case."

"That's hard to say."

Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Without seeing it with your own eyes, how can you believe it completely? It's not his son, there will always be a knot in his heart. After all, he lost money, and he will feel that he is young, his hair is not fully grown, and he can't make a decision.

Moreover, the Dongsheng boat made money, caught a Mao snapper, and there is no harm without comparison.

"Don't guess blindly. Anyway, knowing that the weather on the outer sea is not good, thunder and lightning are always there, it's good to come back early. Looking at the lightning striking the sea surface directly at night, striking the big fish, and it's not far from us, thinking about it is not safe. It's good to come back early."

"You haven't seen it yet. When the sky just brightened this morning, the lightning struck the sea surface one by one, and the fish on the sea surface floated in a large area. I also saw the amazing lightning and thunder, and the sky was as dark as evening, so I hurried back. Anyway, we didn't lose."

"Hmm..."

Their fishing boat was close to the village, and the Fengshou boat behind had long caught up. The two boats were one after another, stopping at an appropriate deep and shallow position.

They set off at noon yesterday and docked back this morning. This was something no one expected, so after they docked, no fishing boat came to meet them. Their own fishing boat went out to sea at night and hadn't returned at this time.

They were not in such a hurry for a while, and they all sorted out the goods on the boat first.

After waiting for 10 minutes, a small wooden boat swayed and approached them. This is a small boat that helps pick up and drop off on the sea. Sometimes the seawater is too shallow, and the trawler is not suitable for docking, so it will stop in the middle of the sea like them, and then rely on this kind of small wooden boat to come over to meet and go ashore, and then pay a little boat fee.

At other times, the small wooden boat is also casting nets and collecting goods on the sea.

When they were sorting out the goods on the boat, they were also waiting for this kind of boat to row over slowly and approach.

Who in the whole village doesn't know whose family the Fengshou boat and Dongsheng boat are? You can tell at a glance that docking at this time, your own family definitely has no boat to meet, so you have to rely on the ferry small wooden boat.

Just when their boat drove in, the ferry small wooden boat saw it, and they all stopped collecting nets first, coming over to prepare to pick up work.

Of course, the goods on their boat could not be accommodated by a small wooden boat. Although it was only a day's goods, it had to be transported by three or four small boats.

Fortunately, there were several small wooden boats that came over, and there were several following closely behind. Most of the people in the village had seen the full boat of goods every time they returned, and they were very active in coming over.

Like them pulling goods, one trip is one mao, if it is sending people ashore, one trip is 5 fen.

The Fengshou boat is very familiar. After all, the last few times it docked, it was at noon, while the Dongsheng boat returned late, all in the evening or after dark, and didn't need this boat at all. Just open one or two of your own boats to carry the goods.
