Chapter 485

Ye Yaodong was also happy to be free. Anyway, he felt at ease with his father steering the boat, and the sky was bright, so there would be no problem with the line of sight. Taking turns to steer, one person steering for a section just happened not to be tired.

After handing the boat to his father, he went to chat with his two cousins and one cousin.

After returning from rebirth, he had been helping his family with work, and later went out to sea to make money. He was actually not very familiar with his cousins. Everyone had their own friends, and there was an age gap, so they had very little contact, at most greeting each other occasionally when they met on the road. Now they could chat for the whole journey.

"Dongzi, you are really hardworking, actually running so far to deliver goods."

"Yes, is it confirmed that someone wants them?"

Ye Yaosheng cared about another matter, "I heard from Third Uncle that if we encounter the jellyfish peak season at the border of Fujian and Zhejiang, we will stay there for a period of time."

The eldest cousin and second cousin also hurriedly looked over with concern.

Ye Yaodong said affirmatively, "Yes, if we stay there for a month or so, you should have no problem, right?"

Since his father called people, he must have said it in advance, and he was just asking casually.

All three nodded in unison.

"It just so happens that there is no work recently. After the typhoon, many boats have some damage and need maintenance."

"The money for moving at the wharf is also a bit little."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Once we get there, we will sell all the goods on the boat first. If we can encounter the peak season, we will fish there for a period of time. If we don't encounter it, we can only come back directly."

He rested his hands on the edge of the boat, looking at the ripples on the sea reflecting the distant green mountains. The morning sea breeze blowing over was still very cool, without a trace of heat.

Touching his stomach, he felt a little hungry. When he got up in the middle of the night, his wife cooked him a bowl of longevity noodles with two eggs on top. It had already been four or five hours.

He reached into the cross-body cloth bag, but suddenly felt how he touched so many eggs? He opened the cloth bag, took the canned food and noodle cakes to the side, and then saw a white, round, and chubby pile.

He silently counted them, and there were ten, which was really not a few. He thought he had only cooked two or three.

He took out five, preparing to share one for each person. His father was steering the boat, so he would eat later. He didn't expect them to refuse and also took out their own eggs.

"We all have them."

Ye Yaodong understood and put them away. When going out, there is nothing convenient to carry on the road to eat, so cooking a few eggs is a common thing. What's more, they have a saying of "peace eggs" locally.

Everyone knocked their eggs on the edge of the boat in unison, but when they lowered their heads, they saw a group of small silvery-white fish swimming under the water not far away.

"What fish? It looks a bit small, it seems to be not even as long as a little finger, and it's thin."

"Silver fish, right?"

"Looks like it."

"It's a pity that the boat is full of goods, and there is no space to cast the net, so it can't be used."

"No fish can be caught. Fortunately, it's silver fish. If it were yellow croaker, I would be beating my chest and stamping my feet."

"Don't!" Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped Ye Yaosheng from continuing, "Don't say what you hit, otherwise everyone will feel uncomfortable."

Ye Yaosheng said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? If there really is yellow croaker, I will jump down and catch it myself... catch... damn... yellow... small yellow croaker..."

Before he finished speaking, when the boat sailed past quickly, he saw a group of yellow fish following behind the silver fish group. He thought it was really yellow croaker, which startled him, and the egg in his hand fell directly into the sea.

After identifying it as small yellow croaker, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really just talking casually...

Others saw the yellow color and thought it was yellow croaker, and were also startled. Later, they thought that the yellow croaker during the day is not golden yellow.

"Small yellow croaker, I also thought it was large yellow croaker."

"Me too."

Ye Yaodong also thought he was hit at first, and his heart skipped a beat. After recognizing it wasn't, he was also a little disappointed.

If it were really large yellow croaker, it would be great. Even if you can't catch them all in one net, it would be fine to catch a few!

The fishing boat was sailing fast, and the fish school was also moving. In a short while, the two fish schools passed by directly. He wanted to take a hand-held net to catch a few, but it was too late.

If this were large yellow croaker, he would have directly asked his father to stop the boat and turn around to chase it. Small yellow croaker is fine.

Ye Yaodong laughed and took an egg from the cloth bag and handed it to Ye Yaosheng, "You startled me, I thought your mouth was blessed, and I lost an egg in vain."

This time, Ye Yaosheng didn't refuse, took his egg and peeled it, and said with a smile, "I also thought I was going to go into the water. It's a pity. If it were really yellow croaker, just catch a little, and you would have made a fortune on this trip."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Forget it, it can't be used. At most, you can only use a hand-held net. Swimming so fast, this can't catch a few. I'd better pray that this trip sells all the goods and can encounter the jellyfish fishing season."

"Also."

With this episode, everyone became more familiar. Next, when talking about things at sea, they didn't feel dry.

Ye Yaodong also peeled two eggs and handed them to his father to pad his stomach, and asked him where he was by the way?

Ye Fu took two bites and almost choked to death. After pouring a pot of tea, he said, "It may be more than seven or eight hours. It may take ten hours. We have to sail until 12 o'clock to reach the shore. I underestimated the distance and overestimated the speed of the boat. The wind direction is also a bit wrong right now."

"It's 12 o'clock? Then there's no way, as long as we don't lose our way."

Thinking about it, sea transport is always slower than land transport, which is understandable.

Fortunately, there is a sunshade on the top, and the sun at noon is in the middle, which can also block it.

Ye Fu said affirmatively, "There is no problem with the direction."

"Then sail slowly."

Ye Yaodong looked at the boundless sea, and also twisted his neck and waist boredly. The boat sailed too fast. Otherwise, he could fish to pass the time, but now it is more important to rush on the road.

Having nothing to do, he walked around on the boat. His special machine, as long as it is not used, is always wrapped up, tightly, and no one can see what it is, and they will not mess around.

Walking to the cabin, he casually mentioned the bag of jellyfish blood. Seeing the two hand-held nets placed in the corner, he thought for a moment, then put down the jellyfish blood and took out the hand-held net, carrying it on his shoulder.

What if we encounter a school of fish again later?

It's good to have it on hand for backup. If we see it, maybe we can catch two with quick eyes and hands.

Seeing him take out two hand-held nets, Chen Jianian smiled and teased him, "You are planning to be ready to catch yellow croaker at any time."

"Better safe than sorry. What if it really hits Brother Asheng? At that time, I have nothing in my hand, and I have to regret it by slapping my thigh?"

Ye Yaosheng laughed, "Then we have to pray for Mazu's blessing."

Ye Yaodong leaned the hand-held net against the side of the boat, and his back also leaned against it, saying with some regret, "If I knew it would take so long, I would have brought a watermelon. This sun feels hot as soon as it rises."

"It's okay, the sea breeze is very comfortable. Isn't it said that we will arrive before noon, so it won't be very hot." The eldest cousin said.

"It would be more comfortable if there were watermelon to eat. My father said it might be 12 o'clock before we arrive."

"That's not much difference. The weather is good today, and the wind and waves are calm, so it's easy to sail."

"Hmm."

Anyway, we have sailed for so long, and it doesn't matter if it takes an hour or two more.

Everyone leaned against the side of the boat, bored, blowing the wind and chatting, talking about various interesting things at sea, or strange things.

"When we were sailing in the dark before, because there was a light bulb hanging on the boat, it attracted a group of fish to jump onto the boat. Some could jump onto the edge of the boat and fall into the boat, and some fell back into the sea directly, which made everyone rush to catch them."

"You are lucky. We have encountered a bluefin tuna weighing several hundred jin before. A boat friend leaned against the side of the boat and was attacked by a bluefin tuna. The fish tail slapped the back of his head heavily, and then the fish returned to the sea and escaped."

"Really? Then what happened to that person later?"

Everyone turned around in unison, no longer leaning against the side of the boat. If the space on the boat was not limited, leaving only a small path in the middle and a narrow road on the side of the boat, they would have taken a few steps back.

A bluefin tuna weighing several hundred jin is no joke. What if they hit their heads and become disabled?

"After slapping, his whole person fell forward. Fortunately, he was helped by someone, and then he was dizzy and kept vomiting. Later, he went ashore and was sent to the health center for examination, saying it was a concussion."

"That is really an unprovoked disaster."

"Who says it isn't? Anything can happen at sea. Like when I was sailing before, I also encountered a fishing boat. There was no one on it, and I didn't hear the sound of the engine. It was drifting on the sea for no reason, but I heard some strange sounds. Fortunately, we fishermen are very courageous, but we were also scared to death, and hurriedly burned a few pieces of yellow paper."

Hearing this, Ye Yaodong also shrank. He had also encountered it before, and later hurriedly sailed away from that boat and did not dare to approach it.

This kind of boat is evil. It is not a good thing to encounter it.

He hurriedly stopped everyone from continuing to talk about this, "Don't talk, don't talk about this kind of unlucky thing. We are still at sea and have a few hours to go. Let's talk about some good luck."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't talk about these evil things. When we go out, we have to say something good," Chen Jianian also hurriedly said. Businessmen also believe in luck.

Everyone hurriedly changed the subject. Seeing fish jumping out of the water from time to time, they couldn't help but say, "It would be great if a big fish jumped onto our boat directly."

"Do you think big fish are as stupid as fools?"

"That's not necessarily..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the water surface and felt his hands itchy. He put the hand-held net into the water. As the boat moved forward, the hand-held net also kept scratching the seawater, and the resistance was not small.

He scratched for a while and then lifted it up. There were only a few small shrimps inside. He took a fresh small white shrimp and put it in his mouth, and shared the remaining few with others.

Then he continued to put it down and repeated it several times back and forth.

Having nothing to do, it's fine to catch it for fun, just to pass the time.

It's just that he didn't expect that he just wanted to catch it for fun, but while playing, he suddenly saw a red figure looming under the water, and it was covered by his hand-held net.

Not only did he see it, but others also saw it, and everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"There is a fish!"

"There is a fish!"

"Dongzi, there is a fish!"

"What red fish? Hurry up and take it up to see!"

Ye Yaodong also lifted the hand-held net in surprise, "Red sea bream!"

"Gaji fish!" everyone said in unison.

Chen Jianian said happily, "This fish is auspicious, just to wash away the unlucky words just said, let us have a smooth journey and be successful."

"This fish is good, Gaji, increase auspiciousness."

Seeing that it was red sea bream, everyone was very happy.
