Chapter 138

Finally, they didn't have to eat vegetarian anymore, the children were happy to death, looking at the salted fish pickled on the table, they felt it was very appetizing, eating happily one by one, making noise.

Ye Yaodong also felt that salted fish was appetizing, having eaten vegetarian for a week, his mouth was almost tasteless.

After eating lunch, he moved the ground cage net onto the flatbed cart, and also brought the new ones together, and would put them down later.

They hadn't put the net for a week, everyone had suffered great losses, after the ceremony ended, the villagers who put ground cage nets and Korean nets went out to sea to put the nets after the meal, as for the trawling, they had to wait until night.

The fishing boats in their village basically put these three types of nets, trawling is also single-boat trawling, there is no double-boat trawling, hand-throwing nets are also available, which is a bit more tiring, but the cost is low.

After moving everything onto the flatbed cart, he said to Lin Xiuqing: "I'll go put the net first, we'll go to town to buy things tomorrow."

"Okay, go get busy."

Just about to go out, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and went to the utility room where firewood was placed at the back door to rummage, and found a simple fishing rod made before, just a bamboo pole more than a meter long, fishing line, and fishing hook.

But it had been too long, the fishing hook was rusty and couldn't be used, it was easy to break the hook, he temporarily found a super thick needle for sewing sacks, lit a candle, burned it red, and bent it into a hook with pliers.

"Dongzi, what are you doing?" The old lady stood on the side, looking at him curiously and asking.

"I was thinking that I can't go for nothing just by putting the ground cage, I want to try taking a fishing hook to see if I can catch some fish back? Otherwise, I haven't been out to sea for a few days, and there's no fresh fish to eat at night."

"Then what are you going to use to fish? Sea fish can't use earthworms, otherwise there are some if you dig casually in the vegetable plot."

"I know, I'll grab a handful of dried seaweed and take it to try later."

"I'll pour you a pot of tea to take with you, so you won't be thirsty." The old lady just felt sorry for the little grandson.

Ye Yaodong didn't refuse the old lady's kindness either, after the fishing hook was made and hung up, he rolled up the fishing line, brought the teapot, and by the way, went into the room and grabbed a small handful of dried seaweed and put it in his pocket.

Lin Xiuqing saw him going in and out, and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing? Did you forget to bring something?"

"Nothing, I'm leaving." He threw the fishing rod onto the flatbed cart casually, put the teapot away, and pushed the flatbed cart away hurriedly, taking advantage of the rising tide, he could still go out.

After he walked far away, Ye Eldest Sister-in-law said to Lin Xiuqing with a smile: "Dongzi looks more and more diligent, he went to put the net just after eating lunch."

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "If he's not diligent, how can he support the family? We'll move to the new house in a few days, we can't rely on Dad and Mom anymore, if he doesn't stand up himself, the three of us will all have to drink the northwest wind."

Ye Dasao glanced obscurely at her stomach. "Maybe he's enlightened, some men grow up relatively late."

She turned her body away, avoiding Ye Dasao's gaze, she hadn't had her period for so long, she had already determined that she was pregnant, she didn't like people staring at her stomach, which made her feel very insecure.

"Leave the bowls and chopsticks to me to clean and wash today, my eldest brother is going to sea with Dad at night, you have to go buy things for the new house in the afternoon, let's exchange, you come to do it tomorrow at noon."

"That's fine, let's exchange."

The three sisters-in-law had a clear division of labor, one person cleans and washes dishes a day, Ye Mu does the cooking, they occasionally help out, after all, except for fish, most seafood is blanched, and stir-frying vegetarian dishes is also simple.

Lin Xiuqing took the bowls and chopsticks from Ye Dasao, and then cleaned the table and washed the dishes.

Ye Yaodong pushed the flatbed cart all the way to the pier, and could meet familiar villagers on the way to say hello, asking if they had eaten? Going to put the net?

He smiled and nodded without exception.

Originally the pier was full of boats, but now there were a few less, and in the distance on the sea, one could still barely see a few drifting small boats, everyone was diligent and went to sea to fish.

I wonder if there will be more in the sea after not fishing for a few days?

There were also boats putting nets in the distance, he specially separated them, and then spread out the ground cages one by one and put them into the sea, rowing the boat while putting them, it was indeed a bit troublesome for one person.

After putting all the nets, he remembered that today seemed to be the 23rd of the lunar calendar, which is a small tide. But it's useless for them, the seawater doesn't rise high, doesn't fall low, the tidal range is the smallest, not suitable for going to isolated islands to fish.

Ye Yaodong rowed the boat out for a distance, then stopped and took out the simple fishing rod he specially brought before going out, he hadn't fished for many years, just try it today to see.

By the way, take a handful of dried seaweed brought from home, throw it into the bucket and add some seawater to soak it, take one first to try, if it's not easy to adjust, he can only look back at the ground cage to see if any small fish or small shrimp ran in.

He hung the dried seaweed that was already a bit soft on the fishing hook, didn't expose the hook tip, looked at the sea surface and threw it out casually, the fishing hook gradually sank.

Waiting patiently, the result was that he didn't see any movement after ten minutes, he pulled the fishing hook up to look, and found that the dried seaweed was gone.

Depressed, he guessed that it fell off accidentally when soaking in seawater, he hung another one on the fishing hook, intending that if it didn't work, he would just go to the ground cage to catch live small fish and small shrimp as bait, live bait must have a very good effect.

After hanging the bait, he stretched his neck and looked at the sea level, his attention highly concentrated, but after waiting for only five minutes, he felt the fishing hook sink a bit, his eyebrows and eyes were very pleasantly surprised.

Here it comes!

Excitedly stood up directly, pulled the fishing rod up, unexpectedly it was a black porgy, hanging in mid-air, and kept swinging its fish tail.

He was suddenly happy. Black porgy is also good, it can be steamed.

He took an empty bucket, filled a bucket of seawater, and then untied the fish from the fishing hook and put it into the bucket. "Looks a bit small, seems like it hasn't reached a jin yet, let's catch a few more."

Looked at the dried seaweed in the bucket, felt that he had grabbed too little just now, could only wait until he finished fishing these to see.

He hung another bait, changed a direction and threw it into the sea again, the result was that it was hooked again not long after, he pulled it up happily, this time it was a red-headed fish.

"Can catch a few more, cook fish soup with tofu and radish shreds."

The red-headed fish is very beautiful, the whole body is bright red, a big head is very disproportionate to the slender body, because the body is too beautiful, it is also called "Red Lady".

It's just that the head is big and the thorns are hard, but the meat is fresh and delicious, cooking a milky white fish soup is still very delicious.

Selling it is unnecessary, this fish is cheap to death, cheaper than the dragon head fish, only suitable for eating by himself.

After hooking two in a row, Ye Yaodong's confidence increased greatly, and he immediately hung the bait again, the result was another red-headed fish.

Having a harvest is a happy thing, he wouldn't be disappointed that this fish is cheap, it's just right to mix a bowl, he doesn't have high requirements, just enough to mix a bite to eat.

It's best to catch two or three more, thinking so in his heart, he started hanging bait and throwing the hook again.

Recently it seems to be the season for red-headed fish, he just thought about it casually in his heart, unexpectedly there were really several hooked in succession.

Looking at the seven or eight fish jumping alive in the bucket, he was very satisfied.

The dried seaweed in the other water bucket was not much, only five or six left, he intended to finish fishing, then go to the ground cage to pick up a few fresh live things, then change a fishing spot to continue fishing, anyway, it was still early.

Hanging the bait again, feeling the fishing rod move, he pulled it up, but unexpectedly he pulled the rod early this time, letting the fish run away!

【Recommendation, Wild Fruit Reading is really easy to use for catching up on books, download here. yeguoyuedu everyone can try it.】

He leaned down and looked, it seemed to be a yellow porgy, it's a pity, the previous catch only had one black porgy, all the others were red-headed fish.

Being run away was slightly regrettable, he simply rowed the boat out for another twenty or thirty meters, to see if he could catch something else?

Red-headed fish can already be eaten twice, enough!

After moving to a nest, re-baiting, after being run away by a fish, he paid a little more attention this time, there was movement on the fishing hook, he waited a little longer before pulling the rod.

"Leatherjacket fish? And not small?"

Estimated to be about a jin and a half big, he smiled and untied it, threw it into the water bucket, can take it to dry into leatherjacket fish dried, or braise a bowl at night.

There were three fishing baits left, he continued to fish.

The result was that he caught two more red-headed fish in succession, maybe red-headed fish are really many recently, he had already caught more than a dozen.

The last rod, he looked forward to seeing if he could catch something else, unexpectedly a yellow porgy was hooked!

He happily untied it and muttered: "What is mine is mine after all, isn't it still caught by me!"

Who cares if it's the one that just ran away? Anyway, he just treated it as the one that ran away.

This one was quite big, estimated to be almost 2 jin, can be steamed with that black porgy, enough for the whole family to eat.

After throwing it into the bucket, he shook it, a bucket of red, the harvest was very gratifying!

Next time maybe he can call others to fish together, fishing alone is a bit boring, there is no one to share the joy, wanting to say something feels like talking to himself, can only endure, occasionally popping out two sentences.

He looked at the sun that was already slanting west in the sky, but still dazzling, feeling that it was still early, it wouldn't be too late to go back after the sun went down.

Put the fishing rod on the boat casually, and he rowed the boat towards the sea surface where the ground cage was placed.

Having only put it down for more than an hour, it's impossible to have any goods, a few small fish and small shrimp as bait is enough.

He chose a float to lift the net casually, and sure enough, as expected, the first net really only had a few small fish and small shrimp, ten fingers could count them, fortunately they were all alive.

He pulled up the whole row of ground cages, but unexpectedly, the last net actually had a sea bass of about 2 jin, made a profit!

Picked the sea bass to the bucket of sea fishing just now, all the others were poured into the empty bucket as bait, there were about 20 small fish, and about a jin or two of small shrimp, enough, maybe he would have to finish work and go home before he finished fishing.
