Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 239

  Chapter 239 The fish dies and the net breaks (monthly ticket plus update 3)

  At two o'clock in the morning, Ye Yaodong woke up on time. He was in an excellent state of mind, refreshed, and didn't feel tired at all from lack of sleep.

  Lin Xiuqing also woke up and was about to get out of bed.

  Ye Yaodong whispered: "Don't get up, I'll just boil an egg and eat it."

   "Then how do you get enough to eat? You're going all day."

   "I asked my father to bring the coal stove of the old house. Later, I will take a few slices of rice noodles and some dry goods, and then go to the backyard to chop a cabbage and cook it on the boat. This way, even in cold weather, I can have a warm bite."

   "Yes, you can bring the coal stove from the old house to the boat. You can't eat noodles all day, anyway, I'm awake..."

   "It's okay, you continue to sleep, eat occasionally for two days but not every day."

  Setting up a coal stove to cook on the boat would save her a lot of trouble, and she wouldn't have to follow him up in the middle of the night to cook for him. After two months, her stomach would get bigger, which would be even more inconvenient.

  Seeing that he insisted, Lin Xiuqing lay down on the ground. She was also sleepy in the cold weather.

Ye Yaodong took a basket, filled it with 4 slices of dried rice noodles, grabbed a handful of dried oysters, went to the backyard, chopped a Chinese cabbage, picked a few leaves, washed them, put them in the basket, and fished other side dishes from the sea. up.

   Then he brought the bowls and chopsticks, put some seasonings, and washed the bucket by the way, filled a bucket of clean water, and after everything was ready, he pushed the cart to the pier.

   There is no need to eat today, he is faster than his father, and there are not many people at the pier when he arrives, so he goes to sail the boat first, and after loading all the things on board, Father Ye arrives late.

   "How are you so fast?"

  He glanced at his father, not knowing what to ask.

  Father Ye didn't expect him to answer. After lifting the coal stove onto the boat, he planned to cut the bait.

   "Father, go and sail the boat, I'll cook some noodles first."

   "What? You haven't eaten yet?"

   "No, I brought noodles and plan to make them on the boat. It will save trouble and save Ah Qing from having to get up in the middle of the night to cook."

  The person on the fishing boat next to him joked, "Hehe~ I can't tell that Adong loves his wife so much? Whose mother-in-law doesn't wake up in the middle of the night to cook, and some of them go to sea with her..."

  Ye Yaodong didn't care what others said, took out a match, lit a small handful of straw, put it in the coal stove to burn the coal first, then filled the small pot with water, let it cook slowly, and then went to cut the fish and hang bait.

  Father Ye spoke a few words casually and then drove the boat to the distant sea.

  It was cooking in the pot, Ye Yaodong was busy with his work, and it would not take time.

  After the water boiled, he tore two pieces of cabbage casually, then put down the dry rice noodles, a few dried oysters, and a few shrimps.

  I haven't cast a net today, so I can only put a little shrimp, but it's still quite fresh.

   "Father, do you want some more?"

   "Eat it, I have eaten it."

  It feels like playing house, but it's also very interesting. Ye Yaodong sucked it in big mouthfuls, drank all the soup, and then started working again.

  Father Ye followed his own habit and stopped to help after driving to the sea area he was familiar with. It was only after three o'clock at this time, and it was still very dark.

  After Ye Yaodong handed over the job of hanging the bait to his father, he planned to put down the hook, but just as he turned around, he caught sight of a figure jumping out of the sea out of the corner of his eye, and immediately after that, a white light appeared and he heard a thud.

  He looked carefully at the surface of the sea, but only saw a white figure, and then submerged again, and the sea was empty again, leaving only sparkling water waves.

   "Did a fish jump out of the water just now?" Father Ye also heard the bang, but turned his head to look and saw nothing.

   "It seems to be, it seems that a fish caught a seabird just now? I didn't see it clearly."

  He thought the white figure should be a seabird.

   "Pay attention, many fish are active at night, and the weather turns cooler and there are fewer fish schools. It is rare for a big fish to jump out of the water."

   "Well, Dad, go and sail the boat, I'll do the rest."

  He put the hand-throwing net in order and put it beside him, ready to cast the net at all times. Then put the baited hook into the water, and looked around and listened to the water surface around him, but he didn't see any movement. He was a little disappointed.

   Are you already full?

After the whole string of hooks had been set, he lowered the sinker rope to catch low-level fish. Just as he was throwing the buoy, a large fish with graceful lines suddenly cut through the calm sea with a whoosh, and was about to fly at low altitude. The seabird bit it and dragged it underwater.

   "Dad, over there!"

  Father Ye kept an eye on the sea surface while sailing the boat, and saw it too. It was not far away, only a dozen meters away. As soon as he turned the boat around, Ye Yaodong spotted the net and threw away his hand, planning to try it out.

   As a result, when dragging it, he found that it was really in stock, so he hurriedly called his father to help.

   This hand-throwing net is quite easy to use, and it is very suitable for adapting to changes.

  The father and son were overjoyed when they felt the weight in their hands. When they struggled to drag the fishing net to the side of the boat, they could see the goods in the fishing net clearly with the help of headlights.

   "Is this Niu Hong Kong Squid?"

  The light is not very good at night, Father Ye said uncertainly.

  Ye Yaodong flung the fishing net onto the deck with a little force, and after shining his headlight back and forth, he said with a happy face: "It's Niugang trevally, a big guy, and there's a tern in its mouth."

While talking, he quickly untied the fishing net and poured out the large cargo inside. Under the drag of gravity and the pressure of the outside world, it has taken in more air and less air out, but its gills are still moving there. of.

  Ye Yaodong shined a flashlight back and forth on this Niugang trevally. No wonder he could see the fish flying out of the water to catch birds. It turned out to be this guy.

  It is a magical little flying fish that can fly to the sky and eat birds. It loves to eat seabirds, and even learned to "fly" in order to prey. It also has a resounding title called "The God of War who loves to eat seabirds."

This Niugang trevally is also called Langren trevally. It is a migratory fish near the coast. It mainly forages at night. Its belly is silver-white, its back is blue-green, and its lower jaw is protruding. It looks very strange. Fierce feeling.

  He measured it visually, and the length of this fish was about 1.5 meters, and it weighed about 70 to 80 catties.

  Caught such a big fish just out of the sea, Father Ye was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he quickly took out the tern that was in his mouth.

  I saw that the tern was already covered with a layer of membrane, and the Niugang trevally was caught by them before they could swallow it.

  He directly threw the unswallowed tern into the sea, but unexpectedly, another tern jumped out immediately.

  Father Ye lowered his head, threw it away without lifting it, and saw nothing, but Ye Yaodong saw a fish head popping out of the sea.

   "Also, Dad..."

  As he spoke, he excitedly threw the hand beside him into the net, tidied it up briefly, and then threw it towards the water.

   Throwing in a hurry, the fishing net is not fully opened, and some places are still knotted, and there is a delay, and I don't know if I can catch it.

   "Flying out of the water again?"

   "When you just threw the tern, another big fish head appeared on the surface of the sea."

   While speaking, he started to put away the fishing net again. Unexpectedly, this time the fish in the net were pulled harder, and he felt a little loose on his arm.

  Father Ye felt the same way.

   "Grass, there must be several caught in this net?" Ye Yaodong cursed and tried his best.

  The father and son worked hard back and forth. When the fishing net was dragged to the water surface and was about to approach the side of the boat, they also saw that there were two big fish and many black mullets in the fishing net.

   "No wonder it's so heavy, Dongzi put in more effort..."

  The fishing net was dragged from the sea to the side of the boat little by little, and then slowly pulled up.

   At this moment, I don't know if the fishing net is not strong enough, or the Niugang trevally inside is struggling too much.

  The moment the fishing net was pulled over one-third of the ship's side and was about to fall onto the deck, a hole was cut in the tail and it exploded. The fish at the bottom fell directly to the surface of the water...

  At the same time, they pulled the fishing net and dropped it onto the deck. Both father and son were dumbfounded.

   "Damn it..."

   In such an instant, half of it was lost and half was left?

   "It's okay, it's okay...the two Niugang trevally are relatively big, and they were pulled onto the boat before they had time to fall."

  Ye Yaodong couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that there were only two daniugang trevally left in the fishing net, and the scattered black mullet that hadn't caught in time.

  Father Ye was also thankful. Fortunately, there was a hole in the bottom. Although most of the black mullets were missed, it was already very good to keep the Niugang trevally.

  Ye Yaodong shook off the hand-throwing net in his hand, and didn't care about the two scads in the fishing net, which had already been pulled up anyway.

  He ran to the side of the boat, wanting to see what happened to the mullet that fell into the sea, but he was overjoyed when he saw that these fish were all floating on the water.

   "Father, hurry up and bring the net with your hands. These black mullets were crushed to death by Niugang trevally and floated to the surface."

  Father Ye didn't care to look at it, and hurried to get two hand nets.

  The two caught two nets and brought all the mullets on the sea to the boat.

It may not necessarily be crushed to death by Niugang trevally. Sea fish live in seawater for a long time. The seawater has high salinity and high pressure. Small blood vessels in the body rupture and then die like this is not necessarily the case.

  Although the fish were dead and the net was broken, they were all picked up.

  Ye Yaodong shook off the fishing net in his hand, "Made, it was almost lost."

   "It's good to catch them all. Take the fishnet back to repair it, and it can still be used." Father Ye said cheerfully while going to untie the fishing net.

   "After we go back, ask someone to weave a new one to compensate Ah Zheng. Let's mend the broken one and keep it for ourselves!"

   At that time, he said that he would take it back, but Ah Zheng said no, and it had been kept in his hands for a month or two, so let him use it up and weave a new one to return it.

   "Although this hand-throwing net is a bit laborious, it is still very practical sometimes."

   "Well, so weave a new one and give it back to him, let's keep this one for ourselves."

  Ye Yaodong also stepped forward to help drag the two Niugang trevally out of the fishing net, and put them together with the one in front.
