~12 min read 2,290 words

Some people were wearing rain boots, feeling a bit fortunate, while some people because they went into the water, the rain boots were full of water, and after going to the beach, they took them off, barefoot, and were a bit regretful.

These worms were wriggling, some crawled over their feet, and the sticky mucus remained on their insteps, as disgusting as it could be.

It was a pity that there was no place to step, densely packed, and in just a short while, it covered a whole small bare beach.

Everyone could only kick these wriggling worms to the side, and then they could step down, but stepping down was also slippery mucus.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly picked up the kicked rain boots and put them on in the first time, and put on gloves again, feeling comfortable and not so disgusting.

In two or three strokes, he filled a basket.

The mullets in the fishing net were fished out by everyone until only the tail was left, and everyone fished out the mullets while collecting the fishing net that was winding for hundreds of meters.

"Are you guys used to looking at it? If you are used to it, help fish it out, wearing gloves is not so disgusting."

"Goosebumps are all over the place, can you still get used to it?"

Someone shivered, glanced at it with disgust, eyes looking at the sea surface, only then felt that it was not polluted, and the sweat hairs that stood up only then disappeared.

"I'll help, this is also too many, can it be sold for money?"

"I'll also help, don't know if anyone wants it?"

After all, it is really disgusting, and don't know if anyone knows the goods and dares to eat it.

This thing also depends on luck, and it also needs specific locations to be caught. Now no one is farming it.

"Used to it, it's also okay? Anyway, it's as disgusting as ship maggots, just a bit bigger, and it's really the same size as a sweet potato."

"Grabbing it in hand is fleshy, seems it's also okay?"

"Ouch, too disgusting..."

"Boss, how to eat this thing?"

Other people all felt disgusting, but Ye Yaodong's boat workers couldn't watch their own boat boss picking it up alone there.

Seeing that there were not many goods in the fishing net, they handed it over to others to get busy, and then rolled up their sleeves to help.

One watched the other help, and they all gritted their teeth and helped with gloves. Their own boss was doing something, of course they had to help with gritted teeth.

Anyway, it wouldn't bite people and there was no danger, at most it was disgusting, endure it.

Ye Yaodong said: "Take it back, if no one wants it on the pier, then clean it yourself, remove the internal organs, and boil it with seawater and dry it."

These sea sweet potatoes are spindle-shaped, gradually thinning at the ends, but there is no obvious shrinking tail, the body length can reach 20 cm, most of them here are only about 10 cm, which is also not small.

Can be cut with a knife, take out the internal organs, leaving only a layer of skin on the outside, stir-frying with leeks is also exceptionally delicious, and drying is easy to preserve.

"Can it really be eaten?"

He didn't care and said: "These are all seafood, what can't be eaten in the sea? Sea centipedes are also eaten, ship maggots are also maggots, they can all be eaten, what is this?"

"Go find the landlady to cut a handful of leeks tonight, stir-fry it and let you taste it, guaranteed to be so fresh that you want to swallow your tongue."

"Hehe, makes sense, hurry up and be active, catch it all back, what can't be eaten in the sea, grass can be eaten."

Ye Yaodong nodded: "That's right, be agile, the sun has set, it will be dark in less than an hour."

Their boat people were all catching sea sweet potatoes, while others were organizing the remaining fish goods fished out of the fishing net, and by the way, poured the goods basket by basket onto the deck of the Dongsheng.

He felt that this division of labor was not bad.

He was doing private work with these sea sweet potatoes, while others were doing proper work, but the fishing net was his, and after returning, that deck of mullets still needed him to work hard to help sell.

He didn't feel guilty at all for picking these, these things were all his.

"Big brother, second brother, help me, drag my fishing net to the boat too, I'll be done soon."

Ye Yaopeng said: "Good, after the fish is lifted, everyone help lift it, and by the way, lift this worm thing onto the boat together."

Ye Yaodong also shouted for everyone to be faster.

He had five or six people picking by his side, saying that the efficiency was very efficient, and the vacated baskets were filled in two or three strokes. He also asked his big brother to go to the boat and get a few sacks to load.

These things live in the intertidal zone to the soft mud bottom of 80 meters deep water, and a few live in the mud and sand.

He watched this large batch crawling up from the water, like a large batch of worms attacking the beach. They had just finished picking and they were constantly crawling up, endless, don't know how many there were.

If it weren't for everyone successively moving those mullets to the deck, and the fishing net was also moved up, just waiting for them, he would still be reluctant to leave.

Others were also addicted to fishing, and all felt that since it could be eaten, it would be a pity not to fish these things, and they didn't feel so disgusting after catching them for a long time.

"Still surging onto the beach, don't know how many there are, just leaving like this, it's a pity..."

Ye Yaodong straightened his waist: "Go, can't catch it all, it will probably return to the sea when it's dark."

"Next time there is a chance, come again, remember the coordinates."

"Urging again, everyone be faster, it's going to be dark."

"Go, everyone carry a sack to the boat."

After they carried these bags of sea sweet potatoes onto the fishing boat, they were all stunned. The deck was almost out of space.

"Ah, boom, so many!"

"Why so many fish?"

"So many fish, grass, didn't feel much when transporting basket by basket to the boat just now..."

People on the other three boats had all changed their clothes and stood on the deck, all very excited, discussing all at once.

Ye Yaodong threw the sack he was carrying on his shoulder casually, and climbed up himself.

Carrying this sack, his shoulders were also covered in mucus, too disgusting.

Others also hurriedly went up.

Everyone first cleaned up a space for these fish, specifically for placing sacks.

There were also many bamboo baskets piled in the corner, which were also full of sea sweet potatoes. He estimated that there were at least a thousand jin, which was really not small.

Each one weighed at least one or two jin, which was really not picked in vain.

"The whole boat is full, returning with a full load."

"Only saw that there were many fish in the fishing net, didn't expect there were so many after all of them were taken out."

"This whole deck, should be five?"

"Really didn't go into the water in vain, so many."

Ye Yaodong said to everyone: "Take advantage of the rising tide, let the boat leave the shore first, I'll drive the boat, you guys collect the anchor."

"Good."

He first took out his change of clothes from the cabin, and then after getting on the steering tower, he changed his clothes while controlling the fishing boat to leave the shore.

The other three boats also moved.

They were delayed here for three hours, and it was dark at this time. Before they drove out far, it was already completely dark.

But it didn't matter, the harvest was so big, it was worth it to return late.

These mullets themselves are very cheap, but they can't stand the fact that it is their spawning period now, and the belly of every mullet caught is bulging.

Mullet roe is a good thing, and it is also the most valuable part of the mullet.

After the boat workers pick it, this batch should be able to sell for a good price.

When returning to dock, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, a bit late, and there were no good stalls around, which made everyone a bit worried.

Ye Yaodong simply let everyone wait around first to see if any stall sold out the goods and became vacant.

And he first went to find two large trucks, first took the hairtails to the factory, sold what could be sold, and by the way, could vacate the baskets, and pack the mullets later.

He also had some luck. Just after selling the goods from the factory and returning to the pier, he met Captain Xu from last time.

The other party had just finished selling the goods and was calculating the money, while the workers were still cleaning up the remaining fragments. He saw it when he walked by, greeted him in surprise, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then took over the stall in order.

"You have quite a lot of mullets?"

"Encountered a school of fish."

"A bit unbelievable, did you not use radar net, and switched to trawling? Now that the weather is cool, many people have started to switch to radar net to catch hairtails. Before, there was more trawling, now there are many hairtails."

"This wasn't caught by my boat alone, four boats worked together to catch it, just put it here to sell together and divide together."

Captain Xu was even more confused. How could four boats catch together? He wanted to ask if they switched to purse seine again, but heard Ye Yaodong ask again.

"Uncle, does anyone want sea sweet potatoes on this pier?"

"You have sea sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, when returning, I inadvertently passed an island, stayed for a while, and saw that the beach was densely packed with sea sweet potatoes, so I picked them all back."

"There are people who collect this. Once it appears, it will be collected immediately. This thing is relatively rare, and it depends on luck, unlike fish, shrimp, and crabs, which are all over the pier. Everyone on the pier is catching fish, where are there people specifically looking for these things to catch? You can occasionally see it in the vegetable market."

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed!

Didn't work in vain.

"About how much money per jin is it collected?"

"Generally it won't be lower than five or six cents. This thing is rare, people who like to eat it like it very much, just like sea intestines, the price is not low. But there are also people who specifically suppress the price, it depends on whether you know the goods."

"Too good, then I'll set it out to see if anyone wants it."

Fortunately, there are people who know this, and can point it out to him, otherwise don't say five or six cents, he would have sold it all for one cent immediately.

These things are relatively rare, he really doesn't know the market situation.

Originally thought about leaving it to dry, now that someone might want it, it's better to set it out and sell it, saving trouble, it's already night.

Just leave a little to dry for yourself to eat.

Ye Yaodong directly asked the boat workers to lift two baskets of sea sweet potatoes out.

Just lifted it out, it attracted people around immediately. Disgusting is really disgusting, but it is also easy to spread from ten to ten, ten to a hundred.

Not even 5 minutes passed, and someone came to ask for the price.

And just like what Captain Xu said, the opening price was two cents per jin, and after talking for a long time, only added five cents. Those who didn't know might also feel that this price was high enough and they took advantage.

He directly bit to death that he wouldn't sell without six cents, listening to the boat workers all nervous, wishing they could answer for him.

After the crowd gathered here, a competitor emerged at the same time. When the person heard six cents, he hesitated, and when he heard that there were more than 1000 jin, he immediately wanted it all.

Ye Yaodong happily asked people to move the other sea sweet potatoes immediately, only leaving one basket.

At this time, someone leaned to his side and said: "Brother, is that Dongsheng boat yours?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"I'm the boat you pointed the way for during the day."

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up: "Ouch, brother, didn't expect you to be so young, amazing, fate, why are you still on the pier at this point?"

"Earning money, not urgent, originally delayed by the typhoon, came late."

"So urgent, arrived in the afternoon, and went out to sea at night?"

"Earning money, not urgent, originally delayed by the typhoon, came late."

"I came two months earlier than you, if you have anything, you can find me. I'm Ye Yaodong, by the way, I'm the Vice President of the Wenzhou Fishery Association."

"Ah? What? You are also from Wenzhou?"
