Chapter 1257: What is blowing?

After everyone said a few simple words, they all hurriedly helped to process them. Those who didn't have gloves on hand temporarily all asked people to buy them.

Ye Yaodong basically kept his tools on the small trawling fishing boat. Recently, everyone had been driving this small boat to salvage in a scattered way, so he directly asked people to drive the boat over.

At this time, the advantage of having many boats and many people was reflected. With one order, a large group of people hurriedly ran to work.

And now there wasn't even a place to stand on the deck. If you stepped into it, you would be wrapped by the jellyfish. There wasn't even any space, so how could you kill them?

Wearing gloves couldn't protect your arms either; if you reached in, you would be stung.

He drove the boat over, just in time for people to throw the jellyfish over one by one to kill them. After killing them, there would be a place to store them.

Other boats had to borrow a boat themselves. Fortunately, the villagers' boats were all nearby.

Ye Yaodong and the others couldn't care about the other boats and had already started working enthusiastically.

Before long, the other boats also invited locals to help with the splitting. Those locals directly brought a few stools and a long board and put them on the boat. It wasn't necessary to move the jellyfish around.

Several boats had their own tricks, and they were all working enthusiastically.

And the locals on the shore had long been attracted over, standing on the shore pointing and watching the fun, guessing where they had salvaged them.

However, they couldn't understand, and they didn't have time to go down and communicate.

Ye Yaodong knew with his butt that those people must have guessed they salvaged them in the trench.

The people invited over to kill also asked on the neighboring boat. There was nothing that couldn't be said. The boatmen started to talk excitedly about how they salvaged these goods while working.

The vehicles called by Aguang also arrived after more than half an hour. Each of their boats now had sufficient manpower, and they had also split quite a lot. They all moved them down to weigh them first, to be safe.

After one vehicle was loaded and driven away, another one would be driven over to collect cargo. It was estimated that they would need to load another two trips.

After the quantity on the deck decreased, Ye's father and the others went into the fish hold to drag them. Only then did Ye Yaodong know that even the fish hold was already full, and only then were they willing to return.

"So many! There must be more than ten thousand jin."

"There definitely is. Everyone tried their best to pick the big ones to salvage. Each of these is basically over fifty or sixty jin. They are very big, there are no small ones."

"If it wasn't because it couldn't be loaded, and we were in a hurry to send them back to be killed, how could we be willing to return? Oh, what a pity. That large piece spread on the sea was like children playing with bubbles. What a pity. A typhoon is coming and we can't go out again."

"Think on the bright side. If there was no typhoon, maybe they wouldn't have gathered into such a large piece."

"That's also a pity. Wait until later to see. After the wind and waves calm down, go out and look for them again to see if we can find them."

Ye Yaodong didn't think highly of it at all. "Hard to say. Now they are gathered in groups. After the typhoon comes, the waves will scatter them, and they won't be able to gather. By then, they will be scattered on the sea surface."

Wasn't that why he salvaged jellyfish after the typhoon back then?

"That's fine too. With such a large quantity, they are also floating on the sea, and we can salvage them just the same."

"Let's see. Wait until after the typhoon."

They had the most manpower. Except for those who stayed at home and didn't come out, there were seventeen or eighteen people. After working for an hour and a half, they processed several hundred jellyfish.

When the second vehicle came to collect, they were the first to clear all the boats. More than half of this vehicle was loaded with his cargo.

And after they finished working, Ye Yaodong also asked everyone to help on other boats.

When the next vehicle came, everything was just split and the last trip was taken away.

Everyone was also tired and sat on the deck. They were all in a hurry.

"Starving to death. Finally finished. Several hundred of them. Why were we so capable of salvaging at that time?"

"It's good that we finished in time..."

After they settled the wages for the locals, they all sat on the deck to rest for a while.

"In such a hurry, I was in a sweat."

"Who wasn't? In such cool weather, I was in a sweat."

"There is still cargo on the boat that hasn't been sold..."

"Rest for a while and then carry it to the pier, then go home directly."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he said, "Pack up the things on the boat. Lock up what needs to be locked. After selling the cargo, go back directly to eat. It's already past mealtime."

"Okay, pack up and go back to eat."

"It's really cool at this pier..."

After they sold the cargo and went home, they all gathered at his house again in the afternoon.

Now, as long as there was nothing to do, his house was their base camp.

According to everyone, coming here, even if they didn't do anything, they felt at ease sitting there. Being away from home, they didn't feel more secure anywhere else than here.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about those people and let them stay in the courtyard. He only successively called Pei's father, his brother, and Zhou Da and the others into the room to show them the cargo manifests for the past few days.

Incidentally, he also gave them the money. He had calculated the amount corresponding to each cargo manifest well, tied it with a rope, clear and distinct.

"You guys take a look to see if there is any objection to the price."

"You gave a good price for everything?"

"Everyone is not an outsider. What price is what cargo currently, we all know in our hearts. If you have no opinion, I have already calculated the money, and they are all tied together. You guys calculate it."

"Good, good, this price is okay. How could we have any opinion? It's all fine. Who collects is not collecting? What's more, being away from home, we don't know any fresh-collecting boats in this area. Selling to outsiders makes us worry about being slaughtered."

"Yeah, you have a fresh-collecting boat here, which is convenient for us. Just focus on fishing at sea. Anyway, when the time is almost up, you will come over to collect the cargo and resupply incidentally."

Everyone had no opinion, and Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was his first time doing it, and he was afraid they would be dissatisfied with the price. Now that they were satisfied, it was fine.

He was also very satisfied. Running a trip and earning steadily was much more comfortable than going out to sea.

"Good, then you guys count it first."

Ye's father asked curiously, "Why did Old Zheng run to Zhoushi? He's so bold. If it were a few days later and he encountered a typhoon, wouldn't he be finished at sea?"

"Their boat isn't big. They must be sailing along the near-shore area. If they feel the wind and waves are big temporarily, they can also find a place to dock in advance. Typhoons don't blow immediately; there will be signs in advance."

Unless they are in the deep sea and can't react in time, the wind and waves in the open sea are inherently bigger.

"Then how have they been these past few days?"

"Not very good. I heard they are preparing fishing nets to catch hairtail. Now it's great, a typhoon is coming, and they prepared in vain. They can only wait."

Pei's father also frowned. "Why is he tossing around so well? If he were also trawling here, don't change first, he could also earn some. Now it's great, he went up there, but before he started working, a typhoon came. He ran in vain..."

"Father, he didn't run in vain. Going there in advance allows for preparation in advance. I heard it's one of the four major fishing grounds, and the resources must be very rich. Didn't Uncle Zheng ask us several times in the past few years?"

"It's not that we can't earn money here now. It's also quite good to earn money. After the typhoon, we can still salvage."

"Uncle Zheng said that he mainly wants to stay there to catch the winter peak season in the second half of the year. He said one winter peak season is enough to get rich. Now going there in advance, the resources are also rich. If he waits until the weather is cold to go there, he is afraid his old boat can't withstand too big wind and waves, and we are not going with him. Going there in advance now is just right."

Ye Yaodong also said with a smile, "No matter what, it's one of the four major fishing grounds. The reputation is so big, the resources must be very rich. Uncle Zheng is always thinking about going up there, so he must be able to earn big money."

"It's not like he doesn't know there is a jellyfish peak season here. Although it's not very ideal this year, it's not like we can't earn money."

"He can give this up and directly take the risk to sail so far up there. He must be sure he can earn more than here. Those on the boat are all his sons, nephews, and brothers."

"Anyway, Aguang has an appointment with him to call again in a few days. By then, Uncle Pei can understand it again."

Pei's father listened to his analysis and felt it made sense. Without enough profit, who would be willing to throw away the chicken leg that is almost in hand? He must feel that it is better to earn money up there.

"Then ask later. But now a typhoon is coming, and we can't go out to sea, so we can't ask anything."

"It's not necessarily to ask about their harvest at sea. You can ask how long their hairtail peak season lasts in previous years, how much fishing boats can generally catch? Can they salvage anything if they go in advance? Ask more."

"Do you want to go?" Ye's father asked.

Others also heard it.

"I want to know and understand. After all, it's one of the four major fishing grounds. There must be powerful aspects. Last year, I heard from people in the neighboring county that people in their county also specifically ran to Shenjia Sect in winter to salvage shrimp skins."

"Don't toss around. It's too far. We can also earn money here."

"Hmm, asking doesn't hurt. Knowing more can also increase knowledge. Uncle Zheng also said that this trip might have to wait until after the New Year to return. This hairtail has a winter peak season and a spring peak season. The time is very long."

Aguang looked at him in surprise. When did Uncle Zheng say that?

He can really make things up.

"Winter peak season and spring peak season? So long? That must be more than half a year?"

"More than that? The resources up there are rich. You can catch hairtail all year round. There are also several other types of fish cargo that are said to be rich in resources. And there are targeted fishing nets up there specifically for catching one type, so we don't have to be like us, with a big pile of miscellaneous things, which is hard to sell."

If it weren't for the amazing reproductive ability of hairtail, it wouldn't be able to persist in having spring and winter peak seasons every year after the 21st century when the other three types of economic fish cargo could no longer form fishing peak seasons.

Hairtail, together with large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, and cuttlefish (squid), are collectively known as the "Four Major Marine Products" (Four Major Marine Economic Fish Species).

For many years, fishermen have always used these four types of fish as the main catch.

It is precisely because of irregular overfishing that after the 21st century, the catch of the other three major fish species, except for hairtail, has long since lost its former glory.

Only the hairtail catch remains strong, and now it has become a common fish species on the Chinese dining table.

An adult female hairtail, after mating with a male hairtail, can produce 25,000 to 35,000 fish eggs at one time. As long as fertilization is successful, most of these fish eggs can survive.

And because of its fast growth rate and relatively fast sexual maturity, basically, it only takes about 1 year for the hairtail to enter the reproductive period.

It can be said that the "buff" is fully stacked, gathering thousands of advantages in one body. Such hairtail, not to mention flooding, can at least fully satisfy the consumption on the Chinese dining table.

In addition, most hairtails live in the deep sea of 60-100 meters, so their fishing is relatively easy and suitable for large-scale fishing.

However, it is all thanks to the fishing ban policy promulgated by China after 1995, giving the ocean a time to rest and recuperate.

Otherwise, according to the hardworking labor force of Chinese fishermen and the power of the extinction net, quite a few would have gone extinct.

Everyone was aroused with some curiosity by Ye Yaodong and also took the initiative to ask what Uncle Zheng said when he called two days ago.

Ye Yaodong made up a few sentences and looked at Aguang, who had been staring.

"Aguang told me. You guys can also ask him."

"Ah?"

Aguang was confused. "Ask me? No... you... didn't you say it all? Still ask me?"

"Hmm, next time he calls, you ask more. Knowing more doesn't hurt."

Aguang looked at this one and then at that one. Everyone was staring at him. He could only nod.

"Good."

What on earth is Ye Yaodong blowing? ===== CHAPTER 1258 =====
