Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 167

  Chapter 167 Su Meiyu

   After a simple lunch, Ye Yaodong took the newly made ground cage and went to the pier with a few loaded barrels.

   There was no internet for two days, and the weather has been calm recently. No one dared to steal the net. This time, there are probably a lot of goods.

  When he arrived at the pier, Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng were already on board, and he saw the two bamboo baskets on their boat at a glance.

  There are countless circles of fishing line coiled in the bamboo basket, and nearly a hundred fishhooks are hooked on the edge of the grass basket.

   "How many hours will it take to fix these hooks and lines?" Seeing the complexity, Ye Yaodong was a little moved at first, so he gave up this idea directly, and it would be easier to save trouble with a ground cage.

   "Two hours, it's okay."

   Is it okay to call for two hours? never mind.

   "It's a lot of work."

  Xiao Xiao also thinks so, "Indeed, next time before going to sea, you can ask nearby women or old people to do it, it will save you a lot of trouble."

   "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to collect the ground cage first, wait for me when you release the hooks!"

   "Okay, we are also going to collect the ground cages, and put down a few ground cages on the boat by the way. After you are well, we will lower the row of hooks."

  The two boats sailed out of the shore one after another, and each of them rowed to the place where they put their cages first.

Ye Yaodong put away several rows of ground cage nets one after another. He was full of enthusiasm at first, but now he does the same thing twice in three days. He no longer has the feeling of opening blind boxes for the goods, unless suddenly Rare goods appear, but rare goods are not available every day.

  The same is true today.

  But the harvest is not bad, there are a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs, the most are water grain fish and swimming crabs, and the most valuable ones are blue crabs, which are plump in autumn.

  He put all the goods into two large buckets without sorting them. After reloading the ground cages, he rowed towards the sea area where Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng put the ground cages.

  They had already received the goods, and they threw a few more nets, but they didn't get much.

  As soon as he approached, he heard them talking there, throwing the net by hand was too much effort, saying that if longline fishing is easy to use, they will all use longline fishing in the future.

   "Hey, is the harvest not good?"

   Ah Zheng curled his lips, "There are only two or three rows of ground cage nets in total, what's the point? Hand-throwing nets only cast a few nets, so-so, that's it, just wait for you to come over, and we will lay down the nets."

   "Then let's go down, do you need help?"

  I saw that in the original bamboo basket, each hook was already covered with small shrimps as bait.

   "No, we'll use the shrimp that we just got online as bait, and it's already hung up. Just the two of us, one will land and the other will sail."

After Ah Zheng finished speaking, he signaled Xiaoxiao to drive the boat forward for a while, and then he put the head anchor into the water while driving, and at the same time threw out the buoy, connected to the main line, and then took off the hook from the edge of the basket and put in the fishing tackle one by one in the water.

  After lowering the first basket trunk line, connect the tail end of the basket trunk line with the head end of the second basket trunk line and the buoy rope and sinker rope and throw it into the water, then drop the second basket trunk line, and finally throw out the tail anchor and buoy.

  Because today is just testing the water, so there are only two baskets of trunk lines, about 200 hooks.

  After Ah Zheng finished putting down all the hooks, Ye Yaodong asked, "That's it? Then just wait to pull it up?"

   "How can it be, my father-in-law said that we still need to drag the fishing line to make the bait swim, and lure the big fish in the sea to eat the bait."

   "You don't need to swing all the time, do you? Doesn't it move when the water flows?"

   "Who knows, maybe the swimming range is not big enough, try it first."

  Seeing this, Ye Yaodong didn't pull it up so quickly, so he simply took out the fishing rod on his boat, took out a fish at random, took some meat off as bait, and cast the hook.

  Anyway, idleness is idleness, and fishing for a few rods is not bad.

   I just don't know if there are so many rows of hooks nearby. The fish are all attracted by the bait over there. He threw the hook into the sea for a long time, but there was no movement at all.

  He simply lifted the hook, thinking about changing the direction and throwing the hook again, only to find that the bait was gone.

  Made, no wonder there was no movement for a long time!

   Let's use shrimp, he took out a small shrimp and continued to bait it.

  This time, the bait was hooked very quickly. In just two minutes, a large eel weighing 6 catties bit the hook.

   "Damn it, Dong Ziyi still caught a fish? It's still a moray eel."

   "Isn't it just thinking about being idle, and your hooks haven't been pulled up yet." Ye Yaodong happily unhooked the big eel from the hook.

  The two of them were very itchy to watch, and Ah Zheng stopped shaking the fishing line, and they both took out the hooks and prepared to try fishing for a while.

   "You don't shake to make the fish swim?"

   "The bait will still move when the sea water is flowing. Don't care about him, just catch the fish for a while and wait for two hours before reeling in the line."

   "Hey, here we go again." While speaking, Ye Yaodong lifted the fishing rod again, and it was a 2-jin bass.

   "It's pretty fast to catch fish, isn't it?"

   "It's not bad, it means that there are still a lot of fish in our sea area."

   "Is it possible that there are fewer people fishing now?"

  They were chatting relaxedly, but unexpectedly Xiao Xiao said, "I recently heard that many fishermen in the south are involved in smuggling and not fishing."

   Ah Zheng asked in surprise, "Huh? Who did you hear that from?"

   "Didn't my third brother go out with the big ship some time ago? When he passed the port town of Shishi, he saw a large number of smuggling ships and various goods. I heard that the whole town participated in it."

  Ye Yaodong was not surprised when he heard it. After the opening, people are full of expectations and expectations for the future. Therefore, in terms of living expenses, everyone no longer only considers food and clothing as before, but also begins to pursue tricks and trends.

  However, the embarrassing thing is that there was a shortage of various daily necessities at that time, such as black and white TV sets, video recorders, watches, motorcycles, etc. Many of which were not available for money, so many criminals saw "business opportunities".

  As the vanguard of reform and opening up, the coastal areas have become increasingly busy with various economic and trade routes. Many people have long seen the huge profits of smuggling.

  The phenomenon of smuggling is too normal. Lin Jishang in their village has participated in the smuggling line, but they don't know what they are smuggling.

  Some time ago at night, he saw them sneaking towards the pier. They must be carrying smuggled goods at night.

  In the past two years, the crackdown on smuggling has been strengthened, but driven by interests, it is not so easy for the masses to stop.

  In his previous life, he heard that in the past few years after the reform, there have been serious phenomena of farmers abandoning farming, workers abandoning work, fishermen abandoning fishing, and teachers abandoning education to participate in smuggling.

   After all, how can dead wages be worth the huge profits of smuggling?

"Tsk tsk tsk~ These people want to make a lot of money, so we have no way out. The villagers in the village are all honest, and the fishing boats are all fishing in peace, otherwise we have to participate in it. "

  Ah Zheng was so envious, he also knew that smuggling was rampant after the opening, and cars from his village often came to sell common daily necessities such as tapes, nylon folding umbrellas, nylon mosquito nets, polyester knitted fabrics, etc., which were cheaper than those from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

  Ye Yaodong shook his head and said: "Don't think about it, the crackdown is on now, and if you get caught, you might be thrown out of jail."

   "I heard from my third brother that the whole county over there is involved in smuggling, so many people..."

   "Don't take chances."

  He just wants his wife and children to be on the bed, be a responsible person, and earn a little bit of money. Although he is a little bit worthless, he doesn't have to take risks.

  He remembered that at the beginning of next year, the "First Case of Reform and Opening-up Corruption" was publicly tried and sentenced, and the officials involved were directly sentenced to death.

   Ah Zheng said without giving up: "Isn't there a saying among our countrymen that the law does not blame the public?"

   "So you're going to Shishi?"

   "Ah this..."

  Alone, he doesn't have the courage. To be honest, he is just an ordinary fisherman. Things didn't happen around him. It's a bit timid to ask him to take the initiative to go to strange places and get involved in unknown events.

   "Now the coastal area is very tight. You have no contacts, no money, and no courage. You should just do the sea honestly. Your row hook can be pulled."

"All right."

  One sentence made all his thoughts go back.

  Little imagination was also hit by him.

   After chatting for a while, Ye Yaodong only caught 6 fish intermittently, and his mind was actually affected.

  Always thinking about the social imagination of this era, he thought that such things as smuggling should not suit him, but he didn't expect that his friends around him somehow moved their minds.

  It's difficult, anyway, everyone has his own ambitions, whether he likes to listen or not.

   Seeing that Ah Zheng started to reel in the fishing line, Ye Yaodong also put away the fishing rod and stopped fishing. It was almost sunset, and when he finished reeling in the longline, they should go home for dinner.

   "Hey~ not bad, the first one is a white croaker, weighing 2 catties."

  He untied the fish and threw it into the bucket, then continued to pull.

"what fish is this?"

   Ah Zheng was about to reach out to grab it, but Ye Yaodong stopped him sharply, "Wait a minute, don't touch it!"

   "Huh?" Ah Zheng was taken aback and almost loosened the thread, "What are you doing?"

"This is a sandfish. On the list of poisonous fish, there are one stingray, two tigers and three sandfish, and the sandfish ranks third. Its dorsal fin and two pectoral fins are both neurotoxic. It was accidentally stabbed. , that kind of pain is as painful as a nail being driven into your hand, it will hurt for a day and a night, and it will also have throbbing pain, spasm, and paralysis, don't reach out and touch it directly."

   "Ah? That's it, grass, I can catch this, forget it, let you go."

Holding the scissors, he wanted to cut the fishing line and release the fish, but he heard Ye Yaodong say again: "You don't have to release the fish, just cut off its fins. This fish is tender and sweet, with less spines and more meat. It can cool and relieve heat, nourish and strengthen the body."

   "Forget it, you said its fins are poisonous, so it's better not to take risks."

  He cut the thread with a click, but he didn't expect that the third fish came up, and so did the fourth fish, and so did the fifth fish.

   "I'm so stupid, did I poke a rat's nest? Five in a row?"

   "It's 4!" Ye Yaodong corrected.

  The little crow said: "Maybe the next one is the same?"

   "Come on? He's scolding his mother and he wants to be the next one? In fact, this fish has its fins cut off, and it's quite delicious."

   "No more, she looks so ugly."

   Ah Zheng continued to pull, but unexpectedly it was empty, the bait was eaten, and he was depressed again, unexpectedly, the next one actually hooked a wraith.

   "Fuck, fuck, it's a wreck!"

   "Su Mei?"

   "Su Mei?!"

   All three of them widened their eyes in surprise!
