Chapter 542: Returning with a full load

The second net had already been pulled up, so they spent less than 10 minutes collecting it.

This net of fish goods was not that heavy, but it was over 30 jin, and there were several more sole and turbot.

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch. It was already eight o'clock, and they had been out for almost two hours, but they had only collected two nets. He also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

If something else happened, dragging it out, he wouldn't be able to finish collecting until dark today.

"Dad, can you be faster?"

The workload of 50 sticky nets is not low. Just the harvest, if the speed is fast, he estimates that they will have to spend a whole day, from morning to night.

Because when collecting the net, you must pay attention to collecting in order, and you cannot mess up the net because of catching fish. You also have to tie knots in the original way, which is convenient for continuing to set the net after collecting the net.

Things are very cumbersome, and his father feels distressed about the fishing net. When collecting fish, he is very careful. He will carefully pick up the garbage or grass roots and seaweed on the sticky net, and try not to pull it randomly to damage the fishing net.

With him collecting fish and organizing the fishing nets behind, Ye Yaodong is very relieved, but the efficiency is a bit too slow.

If this machine turns, it can be faster, but he is afraid that his father's fish collecting speed is not that fast, and he can't be busy, and then he will be in a hurry and mess up the fishing net, which will be troublesome.

This kind of sticky net is most afraid of being messed up. If it is messed up, it is equivalent to being scrapped.

Whether it is a one-time use depends on how you collect it when collecting the net. If you collect it well, you can use it several times. Even if there is some damage and hooking, it does not affect the use. It is just afraid of being messed up. After all, the net thread is too thin.

Ye's father also felt that he collected too slowly, fearing that so many nets would not be collected in a day.

"Why don't you collect faster? I'll receive the net behind, and then put the fishing net on the table after receiving it, and then collect the fish net by net? Or you come over to help pick up after collecting two or three nets, so it can be faster."

"Okay, let's try!"

If you don't speed up the progress, you really can't finish it.

No wonder Uncle Lin said that he would definitely have to hire someone if he set 50 sticky nets and set longline fishing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish collecting.

He originally wanted to try collecting it today. Now it seems that even these 50 sticky nets might not be collected, let alone longline fishing.

However, you still have to try collecting it first.

Ye Yaodong hung the rope of the third net, and after turning five or six meters, he immediately accelerated. Ye's father pulled the fishing net behind, and no longer picked up the fish slowly, putting the whole net neatly on the table, ready to take it later.

Until Ye Yaodong quickly collected three nets, and there was no place to put them on the table, he stopped collecting the net, and together with his father, he took the fish out of the fishing net.

"There are not many goods in these nets, mostly toadfish."

"Yeah, there are also two golden pomfret, which is okay."

"Golden pomfret is not as good as white pomfret, just so-so... hey, holy crap~ Dad, that group of otters is still there?"

Ye Yaodong said, but his peripheral vision caught several otters appearing on the water surface again, and he was surprised, pointing in a direction and letting his father look.

They rolled back and forth, left and right, rolling freely, and also swimming in circles, and their behavior looked a bit cute.

"Still there? Haven't found a place to go ashore yet?"

Otters usually live in coastal salt and freshwater junction areas. They often go to the sea to catch fish, so some small islands near the coast also have otters.

Although they are by the sea, there is an island town nearby, and there is a quite large freshwater lake in the island town, which just belongs to the salt and freshwater junction area.

"It just happens that we are not collecting the net, let's drive over and see if we can catch them?" Ye's father looked at so many on the sea, a bit greedy.

Ye Yaodong nodded. It will be decades before they become protected animals. It can be said that they are the most numerous at this time. If you encounter them, you won't catch them for nothing. If they become protected animals, he won't catch them.

He is a person with principles. He catches what he can catch, doesn't catch what he can't catch, doesn't catch what he likes, and doesn't catch the cubs if they are too small.

It's just that he didn't expect these otters to have quite strong vigilance. Maybe they just went through a wave of stimulation. As soon as they approached, they heard the sound and all dived into the water to hide in advance.

"Forget it, another empty trip, forget it."

Ye's father also said regretfully: "Then forget it, take out the goods in the fishing net first."

"Yeah."

The father and son continued to be busy with the fishing net in their hands. Until the afternoon, when their progress in collecting fishing nets was more than half, Ye Yaodong's rolling wheel actually turned up an otter again, and this time it was an adult otter, no longer a cub.

This made the father and son happy.

"This is called 'it takes no effort at all.' I wanted to catch it in the morning but couldn't, but I didn't expect to net one in the afternoon."

"Then you hold it, I'll go to the cabin to get the rope."

"Mm."

Ye's father excitedly grabbed the otter, and seeing it moving its limbs to scratch people, he quickly took it further away.

While waiting, he had nothing to do and looked into the water, and it surprised him instantly.

"Dongzi, Dongzi, there are more otters!"

"Ah?"

Hearing his father's shout, Ye Yaodong quickly stretched his head out of the cabin. He was still holding scissors in his hand, preparing to cut the rope.

"There are more? Got it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I just stretched my head out to look, and saw half of the net hanging on the side of the boat, there are two more inside, one is suspended in the air, and one is still in the fishing net soaking in the water."

Ye Yaodong stretched his head out and saw it too. "Okay, one net catches three, tie this one up first, and then turn the remaining two up."

"Hey, hey."

The value of these three is estimated to sell for sixty or seventy yuan, which is almost enough to offset what they earned today.

They quickly tied up the remaining two, who knew that at the very end of this fishing net, there was actually a cub.

Ye Yaodong grabbed the little thing in his hand, and didn't know if it was the one he caught before. It didn't look as well-behaved as the cub he caught before. I don't know if it was because the three adult otters on the boat were screaming, so this one was also fierce and kept moving.

He patted its head. "Don't scream, or I'll stew you."

After speaking, he moved his hand to the water surface and let it fall into the water.

Ye's father only felt it was a pity. "Let one go again."

"Sustainable development, disaster does not reach the family, save the big and abandon the small."

"What kind of messy talk... hurry up and work, today we won't be able to finish collecting until dark."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch again. It was almost three o'clock. There were always intermittent things delayed. In fact, they had already accelerated, but they still couldn't finish.

"Longline fishing can only be set for one more day, and collect it early tomorrow morning. Hire someone to help on the boat tonight."

"It has to be hired, otherwise there are too many, and it can't be finished. Hiring someone to help collect fish can be a bit more efficient."

"Yeah, then hire Brother Asheng?"

"Also okay, anyway, they are all our own people. Your Brother Asheng is also having a hard time. Taking care of him more can also allow him to save more money and marry a better one."

"Now the wife they introduced to him is not good at all. The man is not dead yet, and she is still dragging there half-dead. I don't know when I can get married. What is it for? If you want to have a son, you don't necessarily have to have a woman who has had a son."

Ye Yaodong didn't want to manage other people's affairs, but he had spent two months with this cousin and felt that he was steady, reliable, and trustworthy. Now that he wanted to hire someone, he thought of him first.

【Currently using, the app with the most complete sound for listening to books, integrated with 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 timbres, and supports offline reading, the source-switching artifact, source-switching app】

The eldest cousin and the second cousin are also reliable, but they don't have the pity of Ye Yaosheng.

This family member can naturally pull it if he can pull it.

"One is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, what can I do? Just let him save more money. When a man has money, he has confidence. When the time comes, he can marry whoever he wants."

"Yeah, that's the logic. When there is money at home, what kind of wife can't be married?"

The father and son chatted while working.

Ye's father saw that he had laid out such a large stall and was busy, but he didn't say anything, nor did he say anything about him messing around, not doing it step by step, etc.?

In the subtle influence, he has already been convinced, and only thinks about how to help solve the problem.

The two get along more and more harmoniously.

Ye Yaodong also felt that his father's progress was great, from the beginning of various displeasures, to now the two can chat calmly, and solve problems with discussion.

I don't know if it's because his father's progress is great, or his own progress is great, or both.

From dawn to dark, the father and son collected all the nets, and then set them down again.

Longline fishing can't be collected anymore, so it can only continue to be set in the sea and sway with the waves. How much cargo can be collected depends on luck tomorrow. Fortunately, it is cold now, and even if the fish die, they can be placed for a day or two.

The longline fishing set yesterday will be collected tomorrow, with an interval of one day in the middle. The problem should not be big. As for the fish that struggle and run away, there is no way.

However, today's harvest is really explosive!

Returning with a full load!

It is really a boat full of fish goods, the boat is full of baskets, and they are all stacked together, each basket is full.

Looking at it, it is all toadfish, sticky and ugly, but it can't stand the large quantity.

This fish is rampant in winter.

Today, the toadfish harvest alone is more than 1200 jin.

Other fish goods also collected five or six hundred jin, and the harvest was very gratifying.

Plus those three otters, today's harvest is estimated to exceed 200 yuan, which is not in vain for him to spend his blood, spending nearly 700 to buy that rolling wheel.

Plus the fishing net, today's cost directly returned 1/4.

It's just a pity that this kind of fishing net has to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. ===== CHAPTER 543 =====

Today, the harvest of toadfish alone was nearly 1,200 jin.

Other fish catches also amounted to five or six hundred jin; the harvest was very gratifying.

Adding in those three otters, today's harvest is estimated to exceed 200 yuan. It wasn't in vain that he spent a fortune, nearly 700 yuan, to buy that rolling wheel.

Including the fishing nets, he already recouped a quarter of today's costs.

It's just a pity that this kind of fishing net requires a "three days of fishing, two days of drying" approach.
