Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Chapter 1096: Harvest nearly 1,000 on the first day (monthly vote +2)

After Father Ye had delivered the meal and divided the jellyfish, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited there to take a look at this wave of goods.

Without waiting for a while, he waited until the two people emerged from the water together.

After two busy rounds in the morning, the boatmen on the boat were all experienced. After they pulled the people up neatly, the person whose turn it was took over immediately, while the others also collected the ropes and collected the net bags that were still sunk at the bottom of the sea. Come up.

Father Ye kept craning his neck and looking, wanting to see how much goods they could collect in one trip, when he saw the full net bag being pulled out of the water and smashed onto the deck.

"So much... much more than what you collected this morning..."

"Practice makes perfect. Once you become proficient at going up and down, your speed will become much faster."

"There's nothing to be afraid of in that trench. The glowing bunch of hairtail fish underneath can also provide lighting. But if a jellyfish suddenly appears, there will be a black hole. It looks a bit scary. As long as you don't lower your head to look down, it's fine."

"We all have experience..."

Father Ye couldn't stop smiling when he saw everyone dumping the sea urchins into the basket. Then he quietly approached Ye Yaodong and whispered, "Should we give them a raise?"

"Well, I definitely have to do more than others for no reason. Or if I go to a place like the bottom of the sea, why not give me a little more?"

"That's so lucrative... I didn't even have any work to do, but I was asked to come out. I should be asked to do whatever I want in my free time. It's just a trick, and I have to give them more money..."

"You can't say that. You do work more than others. If you don't pay more, who will help you to make money? Others don't have to work and they get the same salary. They still get the same price when they go into the water. They don't scream. Are you afraid too? Then who can help me fish it out?”

"All right."

"Look at the long term, Dad, don't be reluctant. Think about it. Now that they are skilled in the water, the two of them can lift nearly 200 kilograms in one trip. They have already collected 2,000 kilograms in the morning. It is not a big problem to collect another 2,000 kilograms in the afternoon. . And under this trench, everyone is big, but there are no small ones. If you only weigh 4,000 kilograms, you can earn 800 yuan a day, so the little salary you pay is nothing."

"Okay, everything you said is right. If you don't want to let go of the child, you won't be able to trap the wolf."

"That's right! It just so happens that the jellyfish season hasn't reached its peak in the past two days, so the number floating up there is still small, so we took advantage of this gap to quickly catch sea urchins and hairtails. Otherwise, when the jellyfish season comes, the jellyfish float up too fast, and those hairtail fish will float up too fast. The flock has to move away."

"Then the flood season will come a little later, so we can catch these first."

"decide as things go."

It's not up to him to decide when the flood season will come.

Father Ye heard two plops and two more people jumped down, and he was also a little itchy.

"Tōko? How about I try again?"

"Don't just join in the fun. I already have enough manpower. If you don't need it, just let them do it. I haven't even gone down yet. Why are you going down here when you're old? Don't be so curious."

Hearing this, Ye's father had no choice but to give up, lest he would not be able to help and would instead be held back.

Ye Yaodong also drove his father away. "The jellyfish on the boat have been cut up. Send them back quickly and sell them for as much as you can. I also have half a barrel of jellyfish heads and half a barrel of jellyfish skins. Surprisingly, Float to the side of the ship, catch it and bring it back to you to sell for money."

Father Ye was a little reluctant to part with the jellyfish that floated up intermittently. He was worried that if they didn't catch them, they would be picked up by fishing boats returning with trawl nets.

"I should have left a boat here for you just now."

"No, there's not a lot of it. I'll fish it out when I'm close enough. If I can't reach it, I'll put it away for now."

Now the big head is on the sea urchin and hairtail fish.

"Then I will sail back first, sell the goods on the boat, and help with the longline fishing to complete it as soon as possible."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand and told his father to go back quickly, and then he continued to blow the sea breeze with his feet up.

The boatmen on the boat have been taking turns to enter the water. Those who didn't have their turn sat there and took a rest while enjoying the sea breeze.

.

For them, although they are tired, they are not tired at all. After all, it takes 20 minutes to enter the water and they can rest for more than an hour when they come up. Moreover, the experience of going into the water to catch sea urchins is novel enough, and they will have the capital to brag when they go back. In addition, there are also high A large amount of salary subsidy is the best thing.

The number of baskets on the deck is also increasing, all of them are pitch black spiked balls. Sea urchins like bombs are piled all over the deck, which also affects everyone's normal activities.

Ye Yaodong asked people to move it into the fish warehouse first, so that it would take up less space.

They stayed there to collect sea urchins. From morning until the sun set, fishing boats came back to the trench one after another.

Seeing that a fishing boat was coming back, Ye Yaodong also asked people to pause the fishing and move the fishing boat first to fish out all the jellyfish on the sea, lest they stay here for so long and the floating jellyfish would be cheaper for others.

Big money is to be earned, but small money should not be scorned.

After the salvage was completed, they were allowed to go into the water again, and the fishing boat also came close.

When he saw it, he realized that Father Pei was the first to come back and help explain the reason for A Guang's return.

Father Pei's eyes lit up, "There are schools of hairtails down there!"

"right."

Ye Yaodong couldn't keep it a secret even if he didn't want to. There were so many boatmen, dozens of people knew about it, and their families were still doing longline fishing there. They must have made a batch overnight. Others were curious and asked casually, You know what's going on, you can't hide it.

After being excited, Father Pei's face was filled with regret, "It's a pity, we have no way to get your equipment for getting into the water..."

Ye Yaodong knew that Father Pei had another idea.

"Aguang can drive a boat together here tomorrow. If we want to put the longline down then, let him go down together and put the hooks together in the trench."

"Okay, okay, let him help you catch sea urchins when the time comes. You've already gone down there, so you can't come back empty-handed."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

The fishing boats behind him didn't delay long and came back one after another. No one could see the receiving situation on his boat. The sea urchins had been moved to the fish warehouse by him. Everyone could only see the buckets on the deck and no one could see them. It was clear how many jellyfish there were, but there were definitely none around the trench.

Ye Yaodong once again explained to others that the other boats were brought back together by A Guang.

"Didn't I say you stayed here to salvage sea urchins? How many have you salvaged?"

"That's quite a lot, isn't it? What do you call that thing that goes into the water? Can we buy it?"

"It's a beautiful idea. I heard that you can only get it if you have connections. How can we ordinary people get it?"

"Hey, Adong is so awesome. He can do anything, earn any money, and he can even go into the water and hold his breath for so long to fish for sea urchins. He deserves to make money."

All the returning fishing boats were leaning together, chatting closely together. He just smiled and did not respond. The others took the initiative to help him answer and blocked them. They were probably just complaining and did not expect him to say anything.

But he didn't go back immediately.

"How long can they stay underwater, and how long will it take for them to come up? Let's wait here and take a look, and then go back."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and said, "It's almost here."

There were also fishing boats that had not returned yet, so everyone waited patiently there.

Just after waiting for 10 minutes, we saw a splash on the water surface, and someone emerged from the water, wearing strange masks on their faces. However, after watching the two people climb up, everyone found that their hands were empty and they had nothing. , and all of a sudden there was a lot of chatter.

He didn't need to answer. The other boatmen helped explain, and everyone saw that they were collecting the rope and pulling up the net bag.

One rope picked up two packages of goods, black and white, and another rope also picked up two packages. (Changed from the previous chapter)

"so much?"

"This must weigh one or two hundred pounds, right?"

"there must be……"

"How much does this cost per kilogram?"

? Quite a few..."

Everyone was talking about it, and everyone was watching curiously. After they fell into the bamboo basket, they were carried to the fish warehouse soon, and no one could even look at it.

"A Dong, how many kilograms have you caught so far today?"

"It hasn't been weighed, so I don't know yet. We won't know until we weigh it at the shore."

"You have an idea of ​​how many baskets there are, right? You should be able to give a rough estimate."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sky and thought for a moment, "4,000 pounds, right?"

"What?"

"Huh? 4,000 pounds?"

"My dear, are there so many sea urchins down there?"

"4,000 kilograms, how much does it cost? How much does it cost? Oh my God, you made so much on your first day here?"

"4,000 kilograms, that's too much, right? Did you destroy the sea urchin's nest? Is there much underneath? Can you still fish it tomorrow?"

"It shouldn't be that much, right? If you can catch so much every day, what's the point? There will always be a time when you finish fishing. 4,000 kilograms is too much. I thought it was only one or two thousand kilograms at most, but there shouldn't be that much at the bottom. Bar?"

"I've made a fortune... I've made so much since I first came out, so what else can I do to catch jellyfish? Just catch sea urchins."

Ye Yaodong felt that he was just being conservative. In fact, it should be more than that. There is still time and he can make two more fishing trips. He feels that it is very likely that he will catch 5,000 kilograms today. The efficiency is really high.

"When the jellyfish season comes, how can we go fishing for sea urchins when they are so densely packed here? We will definitely only be able to catch them for a few days."

"Yes, it will be inconvenient to go into the water when there are too many jellyfish, otherwise the stings of jellyfish can kill you."

"There are definitely not many sea urchins down there... there's not much we can fish out..."

Everyone was chattering about sea urchins, and Ye Yaodong and Pei's father tacitly didn't mention hairtail.

Moreover, Father Ye also asked everyone if they wanted to go back together. Anyway, the other ships had gone back, and it was just in time for dinner to go back now. After selling the goods, it was just right to go home for dinner.

"Do you want A Dong to go back? Otherwise, let's wait together?"

"I'll finish work around 5 o'clock later. I'll finish selling the goods and have dinner at 6 o'clock."

"Let's go back first. He hired a cook to cook, but we don't have one. We have to cook by ourselves when we go back..."

"That's true, they are still comfortable. It saves a lot of trouble to have someone cooking..."

"Let's go back first. If the fishing boat doesn't come back later, Adong will be here when it comes. If it's later and we don't see the boat, we will naturally go back."

"Then let's go back first..."

Ye Yaodong also waved his hands to the big guys, and they continued to salvage as usual.

In the summer, the sun sets late. It's almost 5 o'clock. The sun is still strong, but it has slanted westward to the other end of the mountain. It is estimated that there is still an hour before sunset.

He also stopped when he was ready. When the time came, he called everyone to stop the work when the people came up. At the same time, he also cleaned the surrounding sea surface again. After catching all the remaining jellyfish, he immediately went home.

During this period, the fishing boats also came back. Until everyone else went back, they all returned first. They were the last ones.

All the boatmen were sitting on the deck with their bodies wet, their faces filled with the joy of the harvest. Some were dividing jellyfish, some were discussing today's harvest, and some were asking if they would be fishing for hairtail again tomorrow.

Ye Yaodong had a smile on his face, "We'll see how the longline fishing goes when we get back. We'll have to work on both sides tomorrow."

"How many pounds can the sea urchin weigh today?"

"We will know the details after we go back and weigh it."

"We have to move to another location tomorrow. The area around us is all gone. We won't get enough on the next trip, so we have to move to the edge to look for it."

"Well, I'll move to a nest tomorrow. When I go into the water with my longline, I can look for which area has the most fish."

"I've made a fortune. There are so many sea urchins down there, so densely packed..."

"I really got rich..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Everyone, work hard. I am not stingy when I get rich, and your wages will also increase. If you think about it, as long as there is water, you will get 6.5 yuan a day, which adds up to 200 yuan a month. If you stay for two more months, Isn’t this comparable to what you earned in the past half a year? How much does an average worker earn in one month?”

"Haha, yes, there are many..."

Everyone was smiling.

Ye Yaodong also went to sail the boat.

All we caught were sea urchins, and there was no need to sort anything. It was extremely trouble-free. Everyone sat on the deck and chatted.

As the fishing boat got closer and closer to the shore, the slanting sun gradually began to set.

They arrived before the sun went down.

Ye Yaodong went to ask about it. The owner of the buying place that collected his sea urchins last year also knew him and was pleasantly surprised to know that he had come to salvage sea urchins again.

Generally speaking, things like this underwater are not easy to come by, and if they are available, the quantity is small. The days when Ye Yaodong's steady output last year impressed him so much that he still gave last year's price this year.

Originally it was 2 cents, but later it became 2 cents when the number increased. Now give him two cents directly.

However, he is not satisfied. Prices of everything have increased this year, including wages. There is no reason why fish stocks should not increase.

But the key thing about fish stocks is that they haven’t gone up. In the first half of the year, the prices of fresh fish harvesting boats at sea didn’t go up, and the ones on the shore didn’t go up much either. What they raised was the retail price, but the purchase price remained the same.

And because there are too many of them, the acquisition points will not increase even if they are killed. When it comes to interests, people are not as surprised and talkative as they were at the beginning.

Ye Yaodong didn't know what to do, who allowed him to have a large number.

Generally, a large quantity means that the price will fall accordingly. He hasn't said his quantity yet, so he didn't say much.

When he carried out the baskets of sea urchins from the fish warehouse, he was almost stunned. But at this time, there was nothing they could do if they wanted to lower the price. The words had already been spoken, and Ye Yaodong said he could still do it tomorrow. Got several thousand kilograms.

After all the sea urchins were weighed and the total was counted, Ye Yaodong was also pleasantly surprised. He accurately estimated it at 4,822 kilograms and sold it for 964 yuan and 40 cents.

The jellyfish sold for 16 yuan and 70 cents were also sold for 16 yuan and 7 cents. Although they did not exceed 1,000 yuan, they were unexpected.

None of the fishing boats harvested much today. He earned nearly 1,000 yuan on the first day.
