Chapter 254: Ye Huimei's Little Red Hands

Today, the goods in the gillnets were basically toadfish, about fifteen or sixteen of them, and there were also 3-4 flatfish and devil fish each. The big head was still that one-jin small green lobster.

Ye Yaodong, barefoot, steered the boat toward the waters where the longlines were placed.

After pulling up the buoys and sinker ropes, he had only collected a few hooks when he heard constant shouting in his ear.

"Third Brother, let me do it?"

"Holy crap, what fish is this, so big... Third Brother... let me try?"

"Ah, that's a yellowfin sea bream, I saw its golden fins."

"Tiger grouper... tiger grouper... ah ah ah, Third Brother, you are so amazing, let me collect it too? Third Brother..."

Ye Yaodong listened to the constant chattering in his ear and had a headache. "Can you be quiet? How come I didn't know you could shout so much?"

While speaking, he untied the four-jin tiger grouper from the hook. The fish kept wagging its tail, slapping his arm several times, and he threw it directly into the bucket filled with water.

This was the treatment for valuable live fish; ordinary fish only deserved to stay in the basket.

"I'm just excited, aren't I? Every time I pull a hook, there's something on it, so amazing, and I caught such a big grouper. Third Brother, you are too amazing, how come I didn't know you were so amazing before?"

Having an extra little fan girl felt quite good, but it was also quite noisy...

*Gua la gua la* talking constantly, he didn't know his little sister could talk so much, that excitement was comparable to his eldest son.

"Faster, faster, continue, let me try too?" As she spoke, she reached out directly.

Ye Yaodong slapped the back of her hand and glared at her. "Try what? Go aside. If you encounter a big fish later and it drags you, dragging you into the sea, let's see who goes down to save you."

Ye Huimei rubbed the back of her hand that had been slapped red, and didn't show weakness, glaring back. "I'm such a big person, how could I be dragged into the sea? And I see the fish you pulled up aren't that big."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways. "That's because you haven't seen it. Don't mess around, stay aside, just watch from the side."

Ye Mu also stretched her head to watch from the side. "Will there be big fish? How big? Otherwise, let me do it, you go to the side to roast by the fire, you're not wearing pants and it's freezing."

"Right, Third Brother, I see goosebumps on your legs."

"Who told you to look? Can a man's legs be looked at casually?"

"Pfft~ it's not like I haven't seen it. In the summer, you guys were taking a bath at the back door, I saw plenty."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her, but felt the pulling force on his hand was a bit fierce, and the corners of his mouth lifted. "Isn't it coming now?"

"What?"

"Show you a big fish."

He didn't stop pulling the line, and from time to time he paused to play tug-of-war with the fish in the sea. After releasing and tightening, he quickly pulled the line again.

The eyes of the others were also fixed on the sea surface. Not long after, a large gray figure appeared under the water.

"It's here, it's here, it's really big, what fish is this?" Little fan girl Ye Huimei shouted excitedly as soon as the figure appeared on the water surface.

"It's a shark!" She saw its big mouth with sharp teeth protruding from the water, and the shark fin on its back.

Ye Mu also said joyfully, "This shark is not small."

Ye Fu also walked over curiously to take a look. "What shark is this?"

There are many varieties of sharks in the sea, and the average person doesn't recognize them all. Ye Yaodong happened to recognize this one.

"This is a shortfin mako shark, I'll pull it up first."

He played tug-of-war with this shark for a good while, and after it didn't struggle much, he slowly pulled it to the side of the ship and threw it onto the deck.

After a long tug-of-war, his hand was a bit sore. Just as he squeezed it twice, Ye Huimei leaned over with a smile to knead his arm, and gave him a flattering smile.

"Tired, Third Brother? Let me help you later!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked her forehead. "Since you want to work so much, let you do it all later. Go, go, this one is a juvenile shark, not yet an adult."

"Not an adult, and it's already this big..."

Ye Mu looked at the shark still jumping and bouncing on the deck, exclaiming, "My goodness, it's already this big and still not an adult, then how big would it be if it were an adult? Wouldn't it eat people?"

"Eating people is not likely, generally fish won't actively attack people, unless you have a bloody smell on you."

Ye Yaodong estimated that the shortfin mako shark bouncing on the deck was about 1.5 or 1.6 meters, still a bit short of an adult fish.

This kind of shark cruises the ocean, and sometimes swims to coastal and near-shore continental shelf and island shelf waters.

Its body is spindle-shaped, its back is blue-gray, its mouth and abdomen are light-colored to white, its trunk is relatively thick, and its head and tail are gradually thin and small.

There are 2 dorsal fins, the first dorsal fin is medium-sized, and the second dorsal fin is very small. It also has pectoral fins and a caudal fin.

The famous shark fin is the filamentous cartilage in the shark fin, which is made by drying the fins of the shark's chest, abdomen, tail, etc. The shape is a bit like vermicelli, but it is crispier when bitten, and the taste is better.

When stir-fried, it actually looks more like sweet potato vermicelli...

It's just that it's not as long as sweet potato vermicelli, it's shorter, and both ends are pointed.

People who don't know the goods might mistake stir-fried shark fin for stir-fried sweet potato vermicelli the first time they eat it... (The author once ate stir-fried and thought it was sweet potato vermicelli...)

Ye Yaodong waited until it didn't struggle fiercely, then went up and knocked it unconscious with a stick. Looking at his little sister following him, he turned his head and said, "Go do your work, didn't you want to help collect the line?"

"Ah, good, good, I'm coming, I'm coming..." She happily turned around and went.

"Be careful, if you feel the pulling force on your hand is relatively large and heavy, call someone."

"I know."

Ye Yaodong, after killing the shark, also went over to watch her, but heard her exclamation.

"Ah... big yellow croaker? Seems not..."

Ye Huimei pulled the line up, held the fish in her palm and turned it over, feeling that it seemed to be a big yellow croaker, but also feeling that the color seemed wrong.

"Father, Third Brother, why do I feel this is a big yellow croaker? But I also feel the color seems wrong."

Everyone stretched their heads to take a look, and Ye Fu and Ye Yaodong said in unison, "It's a big yellow croaker."

"Holy crap, luck is okay! This big yellow croaker is over a jin."

"But the color is wrong, isn't the big yellow croaker golden? This color is a bit white."

Ye Yaodong explained, "The color of the big yellow croaker during the day is a bit of a pale yellow that leans toward white, a bit light. Only the ones caught at night will be golden."

"Like this? So magical?"

"Hmm, very amazing! Caught one as soon as I started."

Ye Huimei instantly split her mouth. "If it is, then it is. I told you to let me do it, look!"

Ye Yaodong gave her a thumbs up, then helped remove the hook and collected the line into the basket. "You continue, get a few more."

"Hehe..."

She was busy and happy. When she encountered a relatively large fish that was difficult to pull, Ye Yaodong would help her together.

Because it was placed at night and this was the first wave collected, there were very few empty hooks. The bad ones would also catch a dull fish or toadfish. Today, there were also relatively few mullet fish caught.

After catching the first yellow croaker, Ye Huimei caught several good goods in succession. She also caught a yellow grouper, about 2 jin, which made her happy from ear to ear.

Ye Yaodong threw the yellow grouper into the water bucket to keep company with the previous tiger grouper.

Immediately after, when collecting the last row, it actually exploded a hook again, very heavy. She excitedly shouted directly, "Third Brother, come quickly, come quickly, there's a big fish, I pulled it and it's very heavy."

Hearing this, Ye Yaodong hurriedly went up to help.

"Third Brother, do you think it might be another shark?"

"Who knows, the sea shook for a while two days ago, and the sea surface rolled for two days. Who knows how many fish were rolled in? Those trawling today are going to get rich."

The fishing line was shortened bit by bit, and the appearance of the big fish in the sea was also revealed, directly revealing the answer.

"Giant cobia!"

"Ah? Haha... I'm too amazing... this fish is so big..."

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. "Hmm, really great!"

"This fish is not small, quite amazing, actually pulled a few good fish." Ye Fu also smiled and praised her.

"Hehe, Third Brother, pull it up quickly."

Ye Yaodong pulled for a good while. This fish was particularly fierce, and the intensity of its struggle was comparable to that shortfin mako shark. His arms and waist were sore before he pulled it up. He didn't even untie the hook and threw it directly onto the deck to let it bounce for a while.

This fish was also long-shaped, with a slender body. The longitudinal stripes on the body surface were very eye-catching. The pectoral fins were light brown, and the upper edges of the pelvic and caudal fins were grayish-white. It was known as the "little warship" in the sea.

A few cobia not only had different body colors, but also had neatly arranged luminous spots, looking just like the metal buttons on an officer's uniform. These luminous spots were dazzling and eye-catching, with an astonishing number of 300.

Therefore, the cobia had the skill of "glowing". But they almost never use their own light for illumination, only during the mating season, the cobia will display its "military" power and shine brightly.

"This one is also almost 30 jin, Huimei is very amazing today!"

"That's... I let you collect the line for me earlier, and you weren't happy?" Ye Huimei said triumphantly.

Ye Fu smiled and said, "Bringing you to sea today was the right choice."

"It's good that I didn't bring Auntie. Look at how useful I am. Third Brother wasn't happy yesterday, now do you know how good I am?"

"Praising you twice, and you're already going to heaven?"

Ye Mu also praised her, "She's a material that can go to sea."

Ye Huimei was instantly dumbfounded, her mother really didn't know how to praise people.

"Mother, you should praise me for being amazing."

"Yes, yes, yes, then hurry up, there isn't much left, collect it all."

"Good, good."

Today she really experienced what it was like to collect fish until her hands were soft. This longline with a series of hooks hanging there was equivalent to fish queuing up to wait to go ashore. ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
