Chapter 478: Is the blue ball a jellyfish?

The sea surface has been rising and falling, and by the time it was completely calm, a week had already passed.

During this period of time in the village, everyone's eating and drinking, except for what was produced in the fields, all relied on going to the sea to pick up some small seafood, as well as various shellfish and small fish that were blown up by the typhoon before. Without good weather to dry, they all pickled them.

Salted fish, drunken crabs, drunken shrimp, cold-mixed oysters, mussels, and they were not afraid of having nothing to eat at all.

It's just that they couldn't go to sea for more than half a month, and the villagers were very anxious. Some simply went to do odd jobs for a few days.

Ye Yaodong certainly couldn't go to earn that little bit of money. He just took it as a rest, but he was also a bit urgent to earn money in his heart.

If it were before buying the shop, he would definitely rest if he could. Anyway, he had earned a lot of money, it didn't matter. Now it's not possible, he really has pressure.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, it was sunny again, without wind or waves.

The three brothers saw that it finally cleared up, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They had to pay a large sum of money at the end of the year, and they all wanted to earn more money quickly.

"Didn't expect two typhoons to come one after another, couldn't go to sea for more than half a month, the loss is huge."

"Dongzi, we are ready to go to the shelter port to open the boat after breakfast, do you want to go together?" Ye Yaohua asked Ye Yaodong.

"Fine, let's go together."

After the typhoon, it finally cleared up, and everyone couldn't wait to go to the shelter port to open the boat.

When they arrived, they happened to see the fishing boats taking shelter sailing out of the port one after another. A hundred boats sailed away at the same time, giving a feeling of a hundred boats competing for the current.

The three Ye Yaodong brothers stood on the shore, looking down from top to bottom, the scene was quite spectacular.

This is no less than the scene of the first day of opening the sea after the fishing ban in later generations, it's just that the boats on the sea now are relatively small and relatively broken.

This is also no way, the era has just begun to develop.

"There are really many boats~"

"Aren't there boats by the sea? Some people even treat the boat as a home, eating, drinking, and defecating on it, and occasionally go to the village on land to change some firewood, rice, oil, and salt."

"Everyone is anxious to go to sea, just cleared up, and actually all opened out from the harbor at once."

"If I don't go to sea again, I'll have to eat dirt~" Ye Yaodong said and went down first.

"Let's go, let's go open the boat."

After Ye Yaodong got on the boat, he first unlocked and checked the small items in the boat cabin, and his diving equipment, and lifted the nylon bag and a few broken clothes that had been covering the machine, this important thing must be double-protected and covered tightly.

After checking everything, there was no problem, and only then did he go to open the boat with peace of mind.

After a large number of fishing boats sailed out of the shelter port, they sailed in all directions, and there were quite a few fishing boats in the same direction as them.

His boat's horsepower was considered sufficient, a bit stronger than his big brother and second brother's boat. Originally they sailed out of the shelter port one step ahead of him, now he had caught up with them, he slowed down a bit, and the two boats sailed side by side.

Numerous seabirds were flying on the sea, sometimes spreading their wings and soaring, sometimes making happy calls.

Some were flying at ultra-low altitude, looking like they were looking for food; some bold ones even stopped directly on the edge of the fishing boat, and no one had the leisure to manage them.

Ye Yaodong also saw a seabird dive down rapidly like lightning "whoosh", its body just touched the seawater and flew up again, its mouth still holding a silver-shining fish.

Blue sky and white clouds still make people feel happy.

After the boat docked at the pier in the village, his father had already helped him transport the ground cages with a flatbed cart in advance and was waiting at the shore.

These 40 ground cages had also made a lot of contributions to him from the beginning to the present. He didn't intend to abandon them. Although it was said that more than half of the quantity was gone now, it was better than nothing, and occasionally they could still come in handy.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua saw this and helped him move the ground cages to the boat.

"Dongzi, are you going to open out to put the ground cages now?"

"Put them, anyway, it's free, it's not mealtime yet. I still have to send the row hooks to someone to organize in the afternoon, and I have to go to the mountain to cut some firewood back. There are quite a lot of things to be busy with. After finishing the work, I can go to sea at night with peace of mind."

Ye Yaohua quickly said: "Just let your second sister-in-law organize those ten baskets of row hooks, don't ask outsiders, she happens to be free, just help to do a little."

"That's fine! Anyway, it's night before going to sea, it's not too late for you to help me organize after your own family's is finished. How much wage is given to others, I'll calculate how much for Ye Ersao at that time."

It seems that his second brother and second sister-in-law also have a sense of urgency and are very eager to earn more money.

I guess no one wants to taste the taste of debt.

Ye Yaohua smiled honestly on his dark face. "They are all family, you just look at it."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

When they were moving the ground cages, quite a few people were going back and forth moving fishing nets and other things to the boat. Everyone was waiting to do a big job after the wind and waves stopped, and there were also anxious people who had already opened the boat to cast nets.

At this time, A Guang and Pei Fu actually opened a boat each and docked, stopping right next to their fishing boat.

Ye Fu was surprised. "Already bought the boat?"

"Yes, it was already negotiated a few days ago, and people have been found. Just opened the boat back today, and can go to sea at night."

Ye Yaodong asked: "Then don't you have to leave one person at home to pick up the goods?"

"Let my aunt help pick up goods for a few days first, the machine on his boat had some problems, need to be repaired for a few days, later can let my dad's friend help pick up goods."

"Then it's fine if you arrange it properly."

At this time, Ye Fu felt sorry that their family had only one son, and there was no woman who could help. If this stall was spread too large, he was also afraid that it would not be able to unfold. It was better to have more sons, unfortunately, it was not allowed to have more now.

Fortunately, he had many sons, and there were many grandchildren. It made sense to have more children and more blessings.

After greeting, they were busy with their own things, and Ye Yaodong also went to put the ground cages.

There were small wooden boats working everywhere on the sea, hadn't seen such liveliness for many days.

But after he finished putting the fishing nets, he saw several small wooden boats gathering together in the distance. He thought something was wrong, so he opened the boat over.

Didn't expect that as soon as he approached, he saw a piece of blue round balls floating on the sea surface, and several fishing boats were gathered there communicating and discussing.

Ye Yaodong didn't rush to fish, instead, he moved the boat close to other fishing boats and asked some old uncles on the boat.

He still understood the rules of first come, first served.

"Uncle, what are those round balls? Looking like they are blue, have you fished them up to see?"

"We are not sure what it is, just fished a few up, looking quite rare, and it's blue, should be a kind of jellyfish."

"There weren't so many when I saw it before, now it seems to be getting more and more, don't know where it was washed over from."

"We fished quite a few, all feel it's not jellyfish, should just be colored jellyfish, no one reached out to touch it, should be useless."

No wonder they weren't in a hurry to fish. If this is jellyfish, who wants it?

They have a lot of transparent jellyfish on the seabed along the coast, one big one is dozens or hundreds of jin, fishing nets catch them and all will push them into the sea, disgusted.

However, this kind of small colored one is quite rare along the coast.

"Not jellyfish?"

"Fished quite a few, all not."

Ye Yaodong was a bit curious, "I'll go fish a few to see."

He moved the boat to the side, used a hand-held fishing net to fish a few blue round balls, each small body was also printed with the blue of the sea, looking very good.

Although his fishing experience is considered rich, and he has seen many marine creatures, for this mysterious blue round ball, it was his first time seeing it, like a bomb.

However, it can also be seen from the shape that this is probably a kind of jellyfish, the judgment of those old fishermen should be correct.

When he was fishing for blue round balls, the fishing boats next to him stayed for a while, and also planned to leave one after another. Jellyfish have no value, staying is also a waste of time.

Ye Yaodong relied on his gloves, put this small blue thing in his hand, carefully not touching its tentacles, found it felt like jelly, smooth, no different from common jellyfish, all duangguang, qq elastic.

Thinking that he had fished it, it looked pretty, anyway, the bucket was empty today, no harvest, he simply hit a bucket of seawater, put this in to raise it, and brought it back for several children to see, to grow their knowledge.

This looks beautiful in color, and cute, several small ones should like it, can't grab it to play in hand, can also let them take branches to poke and play.

Just didn't expect that when he took the water bucket to hit seawater, a round ball with a slightly different appearance ran into the bucket, and the size was several times larger?

He suspiciously lifted the bucket to the boat and looked, "Isn't this jellyfish?"

Taking it out to see, it really is jellyfish, its umbrella-shaped body edge has eight notches, but there are no tentacles like jellyfish.

And the most critical thing is the brown layer attached under its umbrella, this is the "jellyfish blood" in their local dialect, and it is also the most expensive part of the jellyfish.

He also casually took it to the side, compared it with the few blue round balls in the hand-held fishing net, the difference in length was quite large, and it really was a swallow mixed in a group of crows.

Jellyfish also belong to jellyfish, but jellyfish are not jellyfish.

It is one of the very few edible species among jellyfish. Although most jellyfish are poisonous, jellyfish are edible and rich in nutrition.

This one jellyfish was also much heavier than the blue round ball. Although it didn't look that big, it felt like 20-something jin, because the moisture on it was particularly thick and heavy.

One jellyfish can be divided into jellyfish skin, jellyfish edge, jellyfish brain, jellyfish head, and cleaned jellyfish blood.

The most expensive jellyfish blood can be sold for 1,500 a jin later, but the price dropped a bit after the number of breeding increased, but it is still very expensive.

Ye Yaodong happily threw this jellyfish into another empty bucket, intending to continue fishing to see, since one could mix in here, there must be more.
