Chapter 915: Another box (Two-in-one 7000)
A Zheng on the opposite fishing boat was also excited to death, but he was shouting all kinds of things there, wishing he could jump down and scoop it up. They couldn't hear clearly on the opposite side.
He could only watch him jumping and shouting wildly. However, both of them were focused on watching the fish in the water and had no time to pay attention to him, at most glancing at him.
A Zheng was simply winking at a blind man, and he was also scolded by his father who was steering the boat, telling him to be careful and not fall out.
Oh my, seeing how fun it was for them to hold the fishing rod and catch such a big fish, he felt an itchy heart and really wanted to swim over and crawl onto the opposite boat.
However, after A Guang scooped up the fish on the opposite side, he stared with wide eyes for a while, and then ran into the cabin.
His father was so angry that he cursed. However, the wind was strong, and no one heard it. They only saw the frequency of his mouth opening and closing being extremely high.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang excitedly looked at the red snapper in the dip net. Although they had caught it before, they would be very excited every time they caught such a big one, let alone only catching it once or twice. Even if they caught it hundreds of times, they would still be very excited every time.
He finally understood the joy of a fisherman!
This is the joy of harvest!
"So big, it wasn't in vain that I spent so much effort to catch it."
"Shouldn't it be that I scooped it up?"
"Get lost, obviously I caught it, just let you help scoop it up at the last moment."
"With my cooperation, it was so simple to get this fish up, you know?"
"Quickly take the fishhook out of its mouth. I'll fish a bit more to see if I can catch a few more big fish. We won't be able to finish eating them tonight."
"Why isn't it you who unhooks the fishhook?" A Guang held the dip net in his hand and still didn't move.
Ye Yaodong hummed lightly, "I'm afraid you'll take advantage of the situation and snatch my fishing rod while I'm unhooking the fishhook."
"Hmph! A villain's heart."
Several fishermen who were originally sleeping in the afternoon, either lying or leaning on the ground, heard the noise of them shouting and were all woken up. They turned their heads in twos and threes, half-asleep and half-awake, to see what they were doing.
As a result, they found that Ye Yaodong had caught such a big red snapper and were all surprised. One by one, they instantly woke up, climbed up, and came over to take a look.
"Such a big red snapper?"
"This color is quite beautiful, much redder than what I've seen before..."
"Quite big. Being caught such a big one, that fishing rod of yours looks very useful. If you used a bamboo pole and a hand line, it wouldn't be easy to fish..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this fish can be sold for quite a bit of money..."
"It's a pity, I didn't see it when it was just caught."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about the others commenting there and urged A Guang to hurry up and unhook the fishhook.
"Then when will you let me play?"
"Fish two more rods, no, three rods. After catching three more, I'll give it to you."
"Fine, as long as three more are caught, regardless of size, it must be my turn."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
A Guang was then willing to help him unhook the fishhook. However, when he put down the dip net and grabbed the fish head, just as he took the fishhook and the small white octopus out of its mouth, he was negligent for a moment and put his thumb into its mouth, and was instinctively bitten by it.
It was originally half-dead, but didn't expect it could still bite people.
After he hissed, seeing the blood beads oozing from his thumb, he hurriedly put his thumb into his mouth to suck.
"How did you do that? You were so careless and still got bitten by it."
A Guang said vaguely, "Careless and poked into its mouth. It's fine. It's also because this fish is big and its teeth are sharp. Otherwise, a smaller one wouldn't have bled."
The red snapper has a long triangular face, with the upper part more inclined than the lower part, and has enlarged canine teeth. It is easy to bleed if bitten.
"In that case, you don't have to fish either, just nurse your illness!" Ye Yaodong smiled wickedly and flicked the fishing rod, preparing to continue hanging bait on the fishhook.
He felt that live bait was more useful than dead bait, and the bigger the fish bait, the bigger the fish that might be caught.
"Nurse your ghost, and nurse your illness. You're the one who's ill. Don't go back on your word."
Ye Yaodong gave him a look, let him understand it himself, and then lowered his head to check the small white octopus on the fishhook, which was still alive and well.
Although it was bitten by that red snapper just now, it also caught a big fish because of it. The fishhook was pierced into the upper jaw of this red snapper, so it wasn't swallowed in one bite and was still constantly twisting and moving on the fishhook.
When A Guang unhooked the fishhook, he also took this small white octopus out of the fish's mouth together.
The vitality of this small white octopus was also particularly tenacious. It could survive for a long time after leaving the water. He didn't intend to change it and continued to use it repeatedly to fish, ambitious, trying to catch another big fish.
Red snapper can often be caught near the shore. This kind of fish lives in the middle and lower water layers, often coming out to forage in groups of three or five during the day. At night, they like to drill into the bottom of stones or crevices to rest and sleep.
It's a pity that the fishing boat is moving forward. If it were stationary, maybe he could catch a few more red snappers in a row.
Ye Yaodong hooked the small white octopus more firmly and then cast the rod again.
Unexpectedly, when he cast the rod, A Zheng on the opposite side also threw a hook down, looking at them triumphantly.
"Eh, A Zheng is fishing with a hook on a line?"
"Hand line fishing."
"Do you have any on your boat?" He also wanted to try.
"Yes, there are hooks I knocked out before in the toolbox in the corner, and the line is on it, rolled together."
After A Guang finished listening, he immediately went to find the toolbox. Being idle was also being idle. Without a fishing rod, he could still fish with a hand line. They had all played with it when they were young and were very proficient.
He found a pile, all of which were knocked out by Ye Yaodong before. After fishing a few times to be fresh, he threw them aside. In fact, they were too tight on the hands. Small fish were fine, but big fish were quite painful to the hands and not as useful as a fishing rod.
So even if he thought of it just now, he didn't think of taking it to fish for fun. After all, he had a fishing rod, so why bother himself with a hand line?
Big cousin and Chen Shi and the others had long been watching with itchy hearts on the side. In the morning, seeing Ye Fu constantly catching fish, they had already watched for a long time.
However, there were no big fish of several jin in the morning, at most three or four jin of Spanish mackerel, black sea bream, etc.
But even these were enough to attract them. At noon, everyone ate, and they ate with the fish Ye Fu caught, which was fragrant.
Seeing A Guang find a pile of hand lines, everyone was moved.
"Dongdong Dongdong Brother..."
"Hey, let me say, you don't say it. Adong, anyway, we are also awake, idle is also idle, you share those hand lines with us to fish?"
"Right, we are also idle anyway, invited by you to work, we can't just sit there and sleep all the time. We also try it, catch more fish, maybe we can sell more money after docking, subsidize the oil money."
"Right, the oil money for this trip is estimated to be several dozen. Everyone helps to fish, maybe you can even earn back the oil money and wages, hehe."
Ye Yaodong had no opinion. If they wanted to fish for fun, let them fish for fun. No matter what they caught, it was good. Just treat it as passing the time, and at least it could create income.
"If you want to fish, just divide it yourself and take it to fish. Anyway, it's also idle if it's left there."
"Hey, good."
Everyone was instantly busy.
However, the remaining fish bait didn't seem enough for everyone to fish a few times. A Guang took the cast net on the side, which was organized and placed there, and prepared to throw another net to get more miscellaneous goods up as bait.
This is called taking from the sea and using it for the sea.
However, when he threw a net out and prepared to collect it, he found that the fishing net was a bit heavy, not as light and easy as when he threw a net casually in the morning and collected it.
He dragged and collected the net with force and shouted to the people beside him to help.
"Motherfucker, you guys help me pull the net, it's so heavy, not easy to pull. It's estimated that it's a big fish or a school of fish. Hurry up and help pull it up to take a look."
Everyone came over to reach out and help.
"It must be a school of fish..."
"Not necessarily, it might also be a shark..."
"Collect it and see, and you'll know..."
A Guang just thought that so many people wanted to use hand lines, so he simply walked to the edge on the other side without a boat, let the fishing net spread out completely, expand a bit, and throw it further to see if he could net more miscellaneous goods. After all, there were still several hours ahead, and it was troublesome to frequently get that bit of fish bait.
Didn't expect the accuracy to be so good!
Ye Yaodong also turned around, watching their big movement behind, and shouted loudly: "What did you net? Why did you all run over?"
"Ah, it turned out to be meat pomfret!"
"Is it meat pomfret?"
"Collect it first, it's also good, it's also good, it also netted a big bag, it really is a school of fish."
After A Guang knew it was meat pomfret, he was not very disappointed, only a little disappointed. However, thinking that it was also an unintentional willow, it was picked up for nothing, so he was also very happy.
"Hey~ it's up, it's up~"
"This is estimated to be one or two hundred jin?"
Ye Yaodong also saw a big bag of meat pomfret on the deck and was surprised. "Just throw a net casually, and you can still get a big net of meat pomfret?"
"Maybe there is a school of fish."
"This fish is not valuable, but it can be used to dry fish. Just pull a line and string them up to dry on the boat. With the sun and the sea breeze, it's more original than drying on land, and it tastes better. It's just right to eat with rice."
He smacked his lips while speaking. There were all kinds of dried fish at home, but there really was no meat pomfret. The flavor of different dried fish was also very different.
When they came out, they also thought that they could eat fresh fish at sea, so they didn't bring dried fish. They were also afraid that it would be easy to get damp on the boat. Being away from home, it was better to eat whatever was available and catch it on the spot.
"Wait and pick it, see if there are many miscellaneous goods inside. If it's not enough as fish bait, then chop the meat pomfret and use it as fish bait."
Waste of heaven's gifts!
However, this fish is really not valuable now, and it won't be valuable in the future. It's only six or eight yuan, and that's the retail price. It can be said to be cheaper than vegetables.
"Better to dry fish. I don't know how long we will stay in Zhejiang Province. It's so easy to steam a few dried fish with rice in the morning."
"Fine, then everyone take out the kitchen knives and cutting boards you brought, kill these meat pomfrets, marinate them for half an hour, rinse them, hang them up, and then fish. You have many people, it will be done in 10 minutes."
"Sigh, alright, alright, then we'll kill the fish first, and then fish after killing."
They were all workers. Whatever the master told them to do, they did. No one had any opinion.
One by one, they went to get the kitchen knives and cutting boards they brought on the boat, preparing to work. The first knife out to sea wasn't for jellyfish, but for meat pomfret.
A Guang also helped sort, didn't throw the work directly to them, and went to fish himself.
He picked out the meat pomfret, put it on the open ground of the deck, and they formed a circle and killed slowly, throwing it in the middle for them to take conveniently.
After picking, he poured the other goods into the basket. The miscellaneous goods inside had already been crushed to death by that net of meat pomfret, so there was no need to raise them in the bucket.
Ye Yaodong watched them kill the fish in an orderly manner and also withdrew his gaze, concentrating on fishing.
I don't know if the fish bait was too big, there were limited big fish, and small fish were not easy to hook, so there was no movement for a long time.
Moving the fishing rod didn't seem to be of much use. The fishing boat was moving anyway, and the fish's body was floating in the sea.
And A Zheng on the opposite side, he had already seen him collect two golden thread fish in just a short while, grinning, laughing like a fool, which was also good goods.
At this time, he saw him reeling in the line again, and what he caught was a black sea bream of about one jin or so.
He looked at it, probably because his fishhook was relatively thin, and the fish bait was also small shrimp, so the fish caught were not big.
Just when he was hesitating whether to take the small white octopus down and change to small fish bait to fish, he saw movement on the fishing rod in his hand.
This excited him, and he estimated in his heart that it should be a big fish, so he hurriedly reeled in the line skillfully.
However, when he reeled in the line, he felt that this rod was unusually smooth. There was no trace of struggle at the other end of the fishhook. Except for being a bit heavy, there was no difficulty at all, unusually smooth.
He kept reeling in the line in confusion, thinking in his heart what he caught this time?
Heard that besides not catching fish, fishermen could catch anything.
He felt that what he caught this time might not be a fish. Otherwise, how could there be no trace of struggle? He was also secretly looking forward to it. What could he catch?
Whether he could catch a fish, he really didn't care, and he wasn't a real fisherman.
Just fishing casually to entertain and pass the time. If he could catch other strange things, it would also be a proof, which felt quite interesting.
After A Guang sorted out the meat pomfret, he also hurriedly took the simple hook and hand line and leaned over to Ye Yaodong's side.
"Didn't expect that you have so many messy things on your boat, and our father could let you play like this without scolding you? When I trawled with my father on a boat, I didn't have the nerve to do it, afraid that he would catch me and scold me wildly."
"Can't you let your father collude with you? That way he won't have a position to scold you."
"Then my father definitely wouldn't be interested. He's already at that age."
"That's hard to say. Men are teenagers until they die."
"Makes sense."
A Guang touched his chin and felt that what he said made some sense. However, when he looked up, he saw him reeling in the line, seemingly very smooth?
"Why is there no pulling when you reel in the line this time?"
"I don't know either. There's no pulling at the fishhook, so how can you ask me to pull?"
"See what good things you can catch again?" He wasn't in a hurry to hang bait and release the line. "A Zheng on the opposite side seems to have caught a few fish."
"I saw him catch two golden thread fish, and just now he caught a squid. This kind of small hook is quite easy to catch such small fish."
"I'll try it later..." "Eh! Box! Damn, there's actually a box hanging on your fishhook. You caught a box?" A Guang just finished speaking, and his tune changed, saying in surprise.
Ye Yaodong was also surprised. It was actually a box?
This trolling, the fishhook actually hung onto a box?
He was surprised on the surface, but his movements didn't stop, continuing to speed up the action of reeling in the line. When he and A Guang worked together to move the box onto the boat, Ye Fu also couldn't stay calm.
They had moved several treasure boxes from the sea, but didn't expect to catch a box again. Could there be any treasures?
However, the fishing boat was sailing, and so many boats were following behind, so he couldn't stop the boat directly to see what was in the box.
He could only shout at Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi, hurry up and see what's inside?"
The fishermen who were killing fish on the boat next to them also stopped their work and turned to look at the box on the side, discussing.
"Ah? Can you still catch a box?"
"How can this be caught? Too strange."
"What can be in here? Could it be antiques?"
"Doesn't look like it. Didn't expect to catch a box. I've only seen longline fishing catching fishing nets, shoes, broken clothes, and other messy things..."
"There really is everything in this sea."
However, this box was a bit big, looking half a meter high, and it wasn't antique at all, quite simple and rough, and there were nails and wooden sticks on the outside, not like antiques at all.
Although the weight moved up was also very long, after the water drained, most of the weight was gone.
Ye Yaodong kicked it out of the antique line directly, thinking it should be something from modern times that accidentally fell into the sea.
He was also very curious about what could be opened, full of expectation, and let A Guang take a pair of pliers directly. They didn't care about continuing to fish and planned to dismantle this box first.
Ye Fu had been absent-minded while steering the boat, his eyes always staring at their side, watching them pull out nails and open the box, only dividing a little bit of his mind to control the direction of the boat.
When they opened the box, he stretched his neck, but he saw Ye Yaodong take out a red rubber doll wrapped in a layer of plastic film from the box...
Instantly, he couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes widened, and he saw his left hand take out another one, one in each hand, two identical red rubber dolls.
"Cloth doll?"
He was full of disappointment.
However, immediately after, he saw A Guang take out iron toy cars from the box, one after another, one after another, piling up the open space by his feet. These iron toy cars were all wrapped in plastic film, and it looked like there were twenty or thirty.
He was disappointed again. Toy small cars, this thing is for children to play with, what's the use of taking it.
Shaking his head, he turned around and put his mind on steering the boat.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang were both very happy, full of smiles.
This kind of iron toy small car was quite rare in this era. On the toy counter of the rural supply and marketing store, there were only a few on display. It was only in their town, which was a port, that there were Taiwan goods stores, and some strange foreign things would be a bit more.
Generally, when going to the market, it was hard to see, after all, this thing was sold quite expensively.
It would also be very expensive in the future, after all, it was rare.
Heard that there was a very special toy car inside, which was that red Dongfanghong small car, because it was designed to commemorate the first domestic sedan in Chinese history. It is a treasure level in the iron toy collection world.
"This box is good, didn't expect it to be full of toys!"
"These small iron cars are so good-looking, so majestic, so beautiful, there are all kinds of colors, and there are big Jiefang, Dongfeng small cars, red, green, white, too good-looking!!"
A Guang touched this small car, touched that small car, full of amazement, his eyes were full of stars, watching intently, unable to put it down.
Which man can refuse a car!
"Dongzi, your luck is too great, making me envious. My saliva is flowing down. So many iron toy small cars, no, you must give me two! If you don't give me, I'll just snatch it!"
He grabbed this one in his hand, grabbed that one, and thought every one of them looked good. Instantly, his arms were full.
Every car here is the dream of their men, and it can also be said that they all have a heart that loves to play.
Although he didn't have a son, he could play by himself, and his son could play with what he had left over later.
"You take it easy, two, at most only take two, I'm going to take the rest back!"
Ye Yaodong didn't have the desire to play. He had seen too much of the world.
But he had quite a few children at home, and he guaranteed that everyone would love it to death after seeing it. He had already imagined the appearance of several boys drooling, saying all kinds of good things, and begging him to give them one.
"Then give me one of this doll too! One for my daughter, one for your daughter, just right for the two cousins to have one each!"
Ye Yaodong took a look at the two dolls in his hand. "Fine!"
Actually, he felt that these two dolls were a bit creepy. These two dolls were about 40 or 50 cm long, made of rubber skin, and the body was made of cloth.
Wearing a red jumpsuit, with a small red hat on the head, a bit fluffy, pink cheeks, big red lips, the little tongue sticking out was also bright red, and there was a red mole in the middle of the eyebrows.
When held vertically, the eyes were open, and the eyelashes were long and curled, and when placed horizontally, the eyes closed.
However, it didn't matter if he didn't like it; the little girl would definitely like it very much.
And these two dolls also looked quite well-preserved. The whole thing was wrapped tightly with plastic film, and it was not corroded by seawater, and the bright red clothes on the body were still as bright as new.
He thought to himself, this box that fell into the sea was probably also smuggled goods, accidentally fell in, or encountered an inspection, and temporarily destroyed the goods, which was also possible.
A Guang's daughter one, his daughter one, just right, the two little sisters were of the same age, and each having the same doll, it was estimated that they could play very well later.
He threw a cloth doll to A Guang. "Take it, you are not allowed to take more cars, only take two."
Although it looked like there were more than 20 here, he could guarantee that when they arrived at the destination and got off the boat, A Zheng and Xiao Xiao would definitely come to ask for them.
He couldn't treat one better than the other.
"Fine, two is two."
A Guang put down the car in his arms, then lined them up, neatly arranged, poked this one and pointed at that one with his index finger, swiping row after row, wanting every one of them.
Finally, he had no choice but to point and count.
However, after pointing to a small green sedan, he didn't count it, and chose a big Jiefang truck and a red Hongqi small sedan.
Ye Yaodong also liked the ones he chose. However, fortunately, he didn't choose the Dongfeng brand small car, and there were identical Hongqi cars left.
He prepared to pick the ones he liked first, to avoid being chosen by the other two bastards later.
And A Zheng on the boat next door had long seen them catch a box, felt surprised, but didn't take it to heart, until he saw Ye Yaodong take two cloth dolls out of the box, then he widened his eyes.
Then, no matter how he shouted in the distance later, the two of them had no time to pay attention to him.
When the fishing boat was moving, the two boats also widened the distance from time to time, one in front and one behind, or the distance in the middle widened. He was even more helpless, so he had to give up and fish by himself.
However, A Guang was also too cheap, holding a small car in each hand, ran to the side of the boat and held it up to show him, his face smiling brightly as if he had picked up a treasure. A Zheng looked even more envious and wanted to jump into the water and swim over even more.
"Share one!"
"Share one with me after getting off the boat!"
A Guang giggled and didn't respond to him, and also took the doll and held it up to show him again, showing off endlessly.
Ye Yaodong also picked and chose the iron toy cars of various colors on the deck, picked out the ones he liked first, picked more than half, tore them out with the clothes on his body, wrapped them in his arms, and took them to the cabin first, putting them in his luggage.
Less than 10 left, then he took another basket to hold them together with the cloth dolls, and also took them to the corner of the cabin to put them.
During this period, the fishermen also surrounded and watched for a while. Some were envious, and some didn't take it to heart. After he put them away, one by one, they also accelerated the speed of killing fish.
Hurry up and kill these fish, so they could also fish and see if they could have good luck, catch some good fish, or good things.
They all knew now that a fishing rod could not only catch fish, but also catch these strange things.
Ye Yaodong threw the wooden box back into the sea after tidying up the things. However, when he turned his head, the fishing rod was in A Guang's hands again, and he had already hung the fish bait and cast it down.
"Motherfucker, agreed to take turns fishing three times each, I only fished once."
"Oh, what's the rush? Seeing you busy there, didn't I fish for a while to see? After catching good things later, I'll return it to you."
"Then let you catch a broken shoe."
"Pfft pfft pfft, crow's mouth."
"Hmph!" Ye Yaodong crossed his hands and hugged his chest, watching him leisurely to see what he could catch.
However, after he pulled the rod and caught a sole fish, he mocked him fiercely without hesitation.
"Haha, didn't catch a broken shoe, but caught a sole fish, not bad, not bad."
A Guang was depressed, took the fish and unhooked it, "It's alright, this one is quite big, and it's over one jin. It's rare for this fish to grow so big."
Ye Yaodong let him comfort himself and snatched the fishing rod from his hand. "My turn, snatched a rod by you, now recount." ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
