Chapter 641: Black-backed ray

~12 min read 2,229 words

"You save slowly, when will you save? Buying a small wooden boat doesn't cost much money. I will lend it to you first. You can pay me back slowly after you earn it. I also believe in you, seeing that you are quite hardworking, otherwise I won't lend it to others."

Except for a few childhood friends, this was the first time he took the initiative to lend money to help.

Ye Yaosheng sighed, "I spent a lot of money on medical treatment in the past few years, and it took me two years to pay it back slowly, and I felt at ease. Owe people money, there is pressure, put it in my heart, can't eat, and can't sleep well at night. I'll just come slowly, and life is not bad now."

"Hmm~ then forget it, you can handle it yourself."

Personal ideas are different. Maybe he is afraid of owing money, or maybe he feels that his work is stable and he doesn't need capital.

He can't put a knife on someone's neck and ask someone to accept his kindness.

Ye Yaosheng smiled, "If you also rent a boat like Ah Guang, and want to find someone to rent, then I can."

"Let's talk about it later."

The big boat hasn't arrived yet, so keep it tight.

"His way of collecting rent looks quite good. If you have money, you can be like him, and you can have more income. Buying a shop feels not as cost-effective as buying a boat. The shop is far away, and you bought two..."

"I bought it, it's okay, wait until I have money and then buy a boat."

Said so easily...

Ye Yaosheng smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, you still have the ability, you say buy and buy."

"I'm just a little lucky. You can do it in the future. Life is not lived by people..."

The two chatted while digging, and felt closer.

Until more than ten minutes later, Ye Fu stopped the boat, and the two raised their heads and found that they had arrived.

Ye Yaodong threw the screwdriver into the water bucket and patted his dirty hands, "Work again, pull the net, pull the net..."

"Move the boat to a corner first? Just throw it in the middle like this, it's not easy to put things later, and it's not easy to walk when the basket is lifted."

"Then move it to the corner on the edge together."

"Good."

The two worked together to move the boat to the corner. When Ye Yaodong passed by, he kicked the broken shell debris on the deck a few times. He didn't think of taking a broom to sweep it away. Anyway, they were all wearing rain boots, so they were not afraid of their feet being cut.

Ye Yaosheng turned to get a broom and seriously swept the debris into the sea.

Ye Yaodong leaned on the side of the boat. When he saw the buoy, he just smiled a few times and said to Ye Fu who was laying wooden boards: "Ah Sheng is quite diligent."

"You think everyone is like you, you don't even help when the broom falls. You are lucky, you married a good wife, everything is arranged for you, and you don't have to do anything."

"That's right, I also think I'm lucky. You are also lucky, you don't have to worry when you are old, and good days are still behind."

"Okay, all count on you."

"Easy to say, don't always dislike me, I will catch fish to support you..."

Ye Fu glanced at him and shook his head, "Hurry up and pull the net, so many words, the sky is red, the sun is coming out, if the speed is not fast, it is estimated that it will be busy until dark today."

"Isn't it pulling?" Ye Yaodong's speech was still sloppy, but his speed was not slow. With his serious work, one net after another was turned up.

Ye Fu and Ye Yaosheng were behind, one picking fish, one pulling the fishing net and hanging it on the wooden board, waiting for the fishing net on the rolling wheel to be turned up, so they could follow to collect fish.

"There are quite a lot of rays today, but they are all small, none over two jin." Ye Fu collected another one and threw it into the basket casually. The empty space at his feet was almost full, all rays.

"It's a bit small, but it's okay. This is more expensive than toad fish. Sell it fresh, and you don't have to kill it and dry it, and you can sell it for more money."

"It's better to be bigger. If there are a few more big devil fish, it will be more material."

"Dad, you are too good at thinking. Why don't you say a whole net of devil fish?"

"That's fine, that's better!"

Ye Yaodong felt that under his influence, his dad didn't seem so rigid?

"Then you come to collect?"

"I come, I come..." Just in time, the fish in his hand were almost collected.

Ye Fu took the rag with a hole hanging next to him and wiped his hands casually, "You organize the fishing net, I will collect it, organize it neatly, don't mess it up."

Ye Yaodong abdicated to the virtuous, "I'll wait for you to collect a net of devil fish."

"The requirements are so high..."

"You said it yourself..."

Ye Fu muttered twice, but the wind was too strong, and he didn't hear what he said clearly.

There was a pile of baskets at his feet. The two baskets containing toad fish and rays were almost full. Ye Yaodong first greeted Ye Yaosheng to lift the baskets to the side of the cabin together, so as not to hinder his feet.

Then he took over his dad's work, organized the fishing net just now, tied a knot and put it in the corner, and went to the side to open the fishing net that had not been processed, and took down the fish one by one.

When he collected the net before, he had already taken a look, and he knew roughly what fish there were. Looking at it, there was no surprise of opening a blind box.

He diverted his attention and looked up from time to time to see what was in the net his dad collected? He had never heard any surprise movement from his dad, and he thought to himself that it was estimated that there were no good goods.

Ye Fu was very calm, collecting one after another.

Ye Yaodong didn't laugh at him. A net of devil fish is not something you can have if you say you have it. Devil fish are not active in groups.

Just when they were all seriously collecting the net, Ye Fu suddenly took two steps back, "Ah, XX fish!"

The wind was too strong, and they didn't hear what Ye Fu said?

Ye Yaodong had been paying attention to the net his dad collected. As soon as he saw him take two steps back, he immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter, Dad?"

It was fine, why did he take two steps back?

Ye Fu turned his head and shouted at them loudly: "I saw a stone fish, a stone fish was stuck on the sticky net."

Ah? Stone fish?

Highly toxic! No wonder his dad took two steps back immediately when he saw it.

"I'll take a look."

He took the fishing net that his dad had been holding, scanned and searched on it, and at a glance, he saw the ugly fish that was motionless and stuck on the net.

This stone fish is not amazing, its body length is only about 30 cm, and its appearance looks very much like a stone. It likes to hide under the seabed or reefs, disguising itself as an inconspicuous stone.

If someone doesn't pay attention and steps on it, it will immediately counterattack without hesitation, firing fatal highly toxic poison outward. The 12 to 14 sharp dorsal spines on its back, like needles, will easily penetrate the sole of the shoe and pierce into the sole of the foot, causing people to be poisoned quickly and remain in severe pain until death.

He had encountered stone fish when he was diving to dig abalone in the sea before.

When he found it, fortunately, it just moved, otherwise if he stepped on it, he might have died directly, and even if he wasn't poisoned to death on the spot, he would have been drowned by the sea.

Unexpectedly, the sticky net actually stuck a stone fish today. This is destined to become his nutritional meal.

He smacked his lips, this fish stew is great~

At that time, it was also because it was not easy to catch when diving in the water, and there were no handy tools in his hand, and he was afraid of being stabbed, so he didn't dare to provoke it, and avoided it from far away.

Now that it has thrown itself into the net, he naturally accepted it with a smile.

Ye Fu saw him holding the fishing net, and after the rolling wheel finished turning, he dragged the fishing net to the table, followed him with concern, "Be careful when you untie the fishing net, don't get stabbed. This fish is very poisonous. Someone in the brigade was poisoned before, and fortunately, he was sent to the barefoot doctor to be saved."

"I know."

He had eaten this kind of fish. It was quite valuable in his previous life, one or two hundred per jin, and some varieties were four or five hundred. He had eaten it once with the boat boss, but no one dared to eat it now.

Many fish that no one eats now, wait until the price rises to be scary in the future, all thanks to the Chinese people having an iron stomach, and also being gluttonous, everything can be eaten, as long as it is delicious, it can be farmed and eaten to a high price!

"You go on collecting your net, I'll handle this fish."

"Be careful, I don't know if it's dead or not. Take a knife and pat it a few times, kill it first, and then grab it out and throw it into the sea." Ye Fu couldn't help but say a few more words, and felt relieved when he saw him honestly go to get the knife.

Little did he know, Ye Yaodong planned to kill it and keep it to stew soup.

Fortunately, he turned his head and continued to collect the net, not looking carefully, otherwise he would have been chattering for a long time, telling him to throw it away.

Ye Yaosheng saw it and didn't think much, thinking he planned to wait for a while to free his hands and throw it away later.

After Ye Fu collected a big fish later, the stone fish was no longer paid attention to, and their attention was transferred to that behemoth!

"Ah, so big! Dongzi... Dongzi..."

"What's so big?"

Ye Yaodong hadn't finished collecting the fish in that net, and he heard his dad's excited exclamation again, so he hurriedly threw down the net and ran over.

Before he could lean on the side of the boat and look down, he saw a large piece of white body slowly turned up by the rolling wheel, and then revealed a large piece of gray back with spots.

Ye Fu excitedly pulled him, "Fish, devil fish, there really is a super big devil!"

"Ah! So big!"

"Yes, it's bigger than the toilet lid at home!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

What kind of metaphor is this?

Is it because he saw shipworms before, so he directly connected to the toilet in his brain?

It happened that Ye Yaosheng also widened his eyes and ran up to say: "It's really bigger than the toilet lid at home! This must be over a hundred jin, right?"

Ye Fu greeted them happily, "Hurry up and help lift it. This fish is too heavy. Wait until the rest of the fishing net is collected and then lift it to the table."

They hurriedly stood on both sides of the fishing net, one on each side, and held one side.

"I have never seen such a big devil fish in my life. This fish is really big. It is estimated to be over a hundred jin..."

"Wrong, this one is a black-backed ray, not a devil fish. The pattern on the back is different."

"Hehe, Dongzi knows quite a lot. Where is it so detailed? Anyway, it's almost the same. Don't they look the same? Like a big fan."

Ye Fu also echoed, "It's true, aren't they all devil fish? Called back and forth, they look almost the same? They all have a smiling face."

Well... you say it's almost the same, then it's almost the same...

Anyway, it's almost the same...

The shape formed by the nostrils and the mouth-nose groove under the abdomen is like a pair of drooping eyes, which is indeed very similar to our human smiling face, looking a bit cute, but this body is too huge!

"Hurry up and lift it to the table first..."
