Chapter 398: Good wind and good water for fishing

Ye Yaodong proudly picked up a small red shrimp from the bucket and baited the hook, while saying: "There is no more, just this one fish hook and fish line. This was a few months ago, when I was fishing at sea, my father said he wanted to help me lift the hook, but he broke my fishing rod, so I was left with the fish line and fish hook."

"If you are interested, I will find a few fish hooks for you tonight, tie them up with fish lines, and pick up a few stones on the boat by the way, and let you try tomorrow."

"Okay, just help you subsidize the family, so your life can be better, don't be so tight?"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

He just cried poor casually, selling miserable, really just said it casually.

At this time, Ye's father also finished putting the ground cages and ran over to look at the bass in the water bucket.

"It's okay, worth three cents."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, the joy instantly vanished. Being able to catch goods is something to be happy about, but can his father not talk about the price?

Only three cents...

Although the price is not low, hearing it in his ears always feels that the price is cheaper than cabbage.

"I'll fish one more hook, and then Father, you drive the boat to the sunken ship over there. There are reefs formed by sunken ships at the bottom, and there are many fish goods at the bottom."

"Okay, you hook this one first, I'll let the boat move forward slowly."

"Hmm."

He pinched the line tightly with his thumb and index finger, lifted the stone as a lead sinker in a clockwise direction, and after rotating for two or three circles, threw it out with force from bottom to top.

The fishing boat is just moving forward with the wind, and the sea current is in the same direction, just good wind and good water.

Ye's father was also muttering in his mouth, saying that the wind direction today was quite good, and also mentioned the word good wind and good water.

"Comrade Ye Yaodong, you..."

"Call me Adong! Always calling Comrade Ye Yaodong, it sounds awkward."

"Okay, I say, this one of yours seems quite simple, why don't you make a few more, and then hang them on the side of the boat, fishing several lines at the same time?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It can be done, but I'm too busy, I'm not specifically fishing, I'm putting nets. If you hang a row there to fish at the same time, if the line is not collected in time, the fish will run away. What you said is actually the same as longline fishing. I have always combined longline fishing and dragging nets before."

"But now there is no net, but you can hang a row of lines on the side of the boat like you said, and fishing at the same time can be a little more efficient."

Ye's father also agreed: "Tomorrow, let's take a few hundred row hooks to put here. It's not far from the shore, so we can put them today and collect them tomorrow. Although it's too expensive for fish bait, we can collect some goods."

"Okay, anyway, watching the field, can't drag the net, idle is idle, get them all. Last year, I put row hooks around the coast at the beginning, and the harvest was also... hey hey hey... bit the hook again, bit the hook again... it's really good wind and good water today..."

His fingers have been holding the fish line. After sensing the fish signal from the fish line, his thumb immediately pressed the fish line on his index finger and pulled the line up quickly. This is to stab the fish, stab the fish hook firmly into the fish lip, prevent it from escaping, and strengthen the fish rate.

After he stabbed the fish, he sensed that the fish was on the hook. He learned this trick from someone talking about his experience at the pier a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't know it.

Ye Yaodong happily shouted and started rolling the line with a wooden stick. In the middle, the fish at the bottom of the sea tried to bite the hook and run away, and the pulling force was not small, which made the stick in his hand tilt, and the line tied on it ran out for two circles.

Fortunately, he held the stick tightly, and it didn't fall into the sea because of the fish pulling. It is also possible that the fish at the bottom was not very big, otherwise it might not be able to pull it up.

Ye's father looked at it and couldn't help but go up to help him pull the line together.

Ye Yaodong was squeezed to the side by him, and he took the work away, "Father, are you also itchy?"

"I'm afraid your hand will be cut by the fish line, how many days have you worked?"

"That's not a few, I've worked for a year, okay? Look at the calluses on my hands, if you want to play, just say it, and take me as an excuse."

"When this fish is pulled up, the struggle force, you should have a feeling when collecting the line, this line cuts the hand."

Ye Yaodong wanted to laugh. An old bone wants to fish and has to find an excuse. It's really clumsy. Seeing so many people on the side, he didn't expose him.

He held the short wooden stick and followed those soldiers, stretching his head out of the side of the boat to look at the sea surface.

A black-brown fish just appeared on the water surface, and was lifted into the air by Ye's father with force.

"What fish is this?"

"It's a bull-tail fish."

The group of soldiers didn't recognize it, but the father and son recognized it at a glance, and said in unison.

Its appearance is very strange, it looks a bit like a crocodile, but because the tail looks like a bull's tail, it is called a bull-tail fish.

Actually, this fish has many names. The scientific name is sea fish, and there are places called village head fish, secretary fish, uh... also called dog-leg fish...

I don't know why it's called that, just listen to it as a joke.

It is quite an ordinary fish in our country, very cheap, but it is a high-end fish in Japan.

This fish tastes very delicious, but the thorns on its body are particularly hard, and it is highly poisonous. When cutting it off the fish hook, be careful, don't be stabbed by its thorns.

Ye Yaodong took a small hand-held net, aimed it at the bull-tail fish, and then kicked it into the hand-held net with his foot, before pouring it into the bucket.

Although it is said that its IQ is equivalent to a five or six-year-old child, it can't save its fate of being caught, but its reaction is very fast.

As soon as it was caught in the hand-held net, it exerted the power of its eight tentacles and tried to climb out of the mouth of the hand-held net.

Ye Yaodong didn't give it a chance. Now seeing it about to climb out of the mouth, he grabbed it out, took a sack and loaded it.

Before long, a blue crab floated up in the water. He was preparing to put the sack on it, but just turned his head to look at the sea surface, and saw the blue crab, so he had to go back.

This blue crab, undoubtedly, also became his bag.

This one is hundreds of times better than that round-axis crab, the meat is tender and fragrant, and the nutritional value is particularly high.

When he was preparing to go up, the waves hit another black sea bream, but his reaction was a beat slow, and this black sea bream was very flexible, and after being washed over, it swam into the sea again, and he caught an empty one.

Ye Yaodong didn't leave either, planning to stand here for a while to see, he didn't know how many goods he missed when he didn't pay attention before.

Just waiting for him to stand here, there were no sea goods washed over by the waves.

"Damn, teasing me?"

He cursed and swearing, simply bent down and dug in this piece, so as not to climb around.

But he really caught a few blue crabs and stone crabs, and seven or eight small fish, which made the two soldiers envious, and after discovering it, they borrowed the hand-held net from him and swapped positions.

Anyway, he didn't care, he went to catch the sea every three days, he didn't want to catch it, the beach was at the door, and he didn't go down when he was idle, unless he went to call the baby to eat.

Just when the two soldiers were playing happily, Ye's father drove the boat over. Ye Yaodong saw it from afar and stopped moving, sat on the reef and smoked two cigarettes, and only after the boat approached did he extinguish the cigarette butt and carry the sack onto the boat.

"Hey hey hey... and my round-axis crab..."

Even though he had caught so many fish in the sea, Captain Chen was still thinking about that round-axis crab.

"Go catch it yourself." Ye Yaodong didn't look back and carried the sack first. It was really too heavy. Ye's father and the other two soldiers also stood on the side of the boat and helped carry it.

"What round-axis crab? Why take that thing back? It's dirty, not as good as 'love'."

"Captain Chen found it, felt that it was such a big one, it was a pity not to catch it back, didn't believe in evil, wanted to catch it back and wash it to see."

"If it can be washed clean, would anyone eat it? Go up first, the noodles are cooked, eat first, and then continue, change me to go down later."

"Hmm? Are you sure? Not fishing anymore?"

Ye's father said depressedly: "Fish a wool thread, only caught a few black sea bream about one jin, and stone nine public, the other two Liberation Army luck is okay, each caught a black sea bream weighing more than two jin."

"I said, it's still me," Ye Yaodong was a little proud, but also a little worried, "You go down to the reef later, be careful, stand in a flat place, don't look around, pay more attention to your feet."

"Still need you to say? The one who looks around is you, right?"

He couldn't blame him for talking back normally, he wanted not to talk back when talking to his father.

He closed his mouth tightly, helped the other two carry their shoulders' goods to Ye's father and the others, and then went up to the boat to eat together.

Ye's father looked at the three round-axis crabs in Captain Chen's bucket, and couldn't help but tell him again how dirty this crab is.

That's right, it's three, two were hidden inside, and after Captain Chen found them, he caught them together.

Captain Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, it's idle when I go back, I'll wash it clean and see, it's such a big one not to catch it back, I always feel it's a pity."

"Then you look at it, you caught it, then you take it back and see, just satisfy your curiosity."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, it was not even 12:30, feeling that the morning time passed extremely slowly. Usually, although putting nets is tired, it is considered to have work to do, not boring, money is motivation.

Now just pray that the salvage team will come tomorrow, so he can be liberated.

Looking at the bucket of fish, basically they are all alive, individual fish bladders are stabbed with a hole, and they can swim around in the bucket after releasing the gas.

These valuable ones are sold, and the worthless ones can also be two bowls, the dishes for the evening are there, and there are scallops to add meals.

Looking at the fishing line tangled into a ball, he had a headache again, but the two soldiers helped him organize it, so it was not so troublesome.

Until dusk, the two soldiers borrowed a net from him, and the two went into the water to pick scallops together, which made him a little envious.

Not to mention having scallops to pick, even if there is nothing, in this hot weather, soaking in the water, swimming a circle is quite comfortable.

Don't know if there are any scallops for him to salvage after those people take away the goods under the sunken ship.

Looking at the scallops in the basket, it's not mealtime yet, and he already has vermicelli garlic scallops in his brain, sprinkle some green onions and then scallion oil, suck~ ===== CHAPTER 402 =====

If we go into the water again tomorrow and manage to salvage those three boxes, then wouldn't that be...

Oh my, I can't think about it, I can't think about it... If I keep thinking, I'll be out of breath...

We couldn't go salvage them at that time either. When we went out to sea at night, it was still dark. By the time we returned, Dongzi even made a point to come back early, but I didn't expect there would be boats lingering in that area.

I heard that people have been there all day, hoping to try their luck to see if they can salvage something to sell to the scrap collectors, which could also be worth quite a bit of money.

Ye Fu comforted himself, thinking that one box of treasures was already enough; even if this spendthrift didn't work, he wouldn't have to worry for the rest of his life.

Ye Yaodong thought the same; one shouldn't be greedy. Being able to accidentally salvage a box of gold cakes was already finding a treasure!

One must not covet too much; one cannot hold every treasure in one's arms.

Captain Chen smiled and said, "In ancient times, apart from the founding emperors of each dynasty, all other emperors were just lucky enough to be born into the right families."

Ye Yaodong vented his regret and slapped his thigh, "Damn it, I was born too late! Back then, no matter how much I rushed, I could only be born in the 1950s, and I almost starved to death."

The few people on the boat were speechless and twitched their lips upon hearing this.

Ye Fu was interrupted from his regret by these words and said unhappily, "Go fish your fish! It was already good enough that you didn't starve to death back then. Otherwise, if you were reborn, who knows if you'd be born in the mountains, and then you wouldn't have the good life you have now."

"Hey, that's true. Being born is also a skill; live well and cherish it! In the next life, who knows if it will be as comfortable as it is now."

"Hehe~"

"Noisy, the fish have all been scared away by you. You talk so much, and there hasn't been any movement for so long."

"Oh, right, damn, why is there no movement?" Ye Yaodong only then realized.
