Chapter 1099 Another 5,000 yuan was recorded
The boatmen nearby were all eager to hear this, and those whose turn it was could not wait to put on their equipment.
"It's our turn... Let's go in the water and see what's under the water..."
"Take off your clothes faster, you're taking your time, I'm still waiting to go in the water..."
"Why are you in such a hurry? There are still many fish behind, and they all need to be caught, right?"
Ye Yaodong said affirmatively: "They all need to be caught, so let's catch them all at once, and we don't have to wait until the evening."
Just now, I thought that half a day had passed, and there were schools of fish under the water, so I tried to catch one to see the situation, and the rest would be pending.
Now that the hooks are 90% full, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? I will definitely catch them quickly, and we don't have to wait until the evening.
The bite rate is so high, and catching them early can also avoid leaving them for too long and causing them to run away.
"Be careful when you collect them, wear gloves, and the others also have two pliers in their hands to avoid being bitten."
"No, this fish will die as soon as it comes out of the water."
"Not so absolute."
If you collect them quickly, they are still very active, and some may not have time to expose themselves. If you rush to catch them at this time, they may counterattack and be bitten by their sharp teeth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so many, five or six on one fishing line, where have you seen so many on one line in the past, it's good to catch one on one fishing line, and there are still many empty hooks."
"This basket is almost full again..."
"Put them in a neat way, don't destroy the appearance..." Ye Yaodong reminded.
"I know, we all laid them out neatly, even quilts are not so neat..."
"Sai, you still fold quilts? I guess you have never folded quilts in your life..."
"Then I will also lay them out neatly. Tomorrow, whether we eat meat or drink soup, depends on these hairtails."
Ye Yaodong smiled and cooperated with them, "Let's continue to eat meat tomorrow. Today is a big harvest. Let's buy another 10 kilograms of meat tomorrow."
"Okay, haha... We can eat meat again..."
"Everyone work hard, Adong said to buy another 10 kilograms of meat tomorrow, and continue to eat meat..."
Everyone was enthusiastic, not just because of the extra meal and better food, but mainly because I have been a fisherman for so many years and have never seen longline fishing be played like this, and the catch rate is so high. This is also the joy of a good harvest.
When a main line is finished, others are also there to carry baskets to estimate the weight.
A main line has 500 hooks, 90% of which are caught. Some can catch two, and even more, they can catch three with the head and tail connected.
Everyone lifted the baskets in their hands and estimated that seven or eight baskets together could weigh 600 to 700 kilograms. The main reason was that these hairtails were very big, and there were no small ones. Each one was nearly one meter long, and the meat was thick. It weighed more than one kilogram in the hand.
A whole basket was lifted out, and the fish were all about the same size, shining brightly.
In addition, there was a small half basket of fish that were not so good, mainly because the tails were bitten, and there were about 30 or 40 of them. Although the price was a little discounted, it could still be sold for money.
Ye Yaodong thought that he would carry this basket back and share it with others, and he didn't need to sell it. Those who came out were all from the village, and they all knew each other. They had to keep some for themselves. The daily food consumption of 30 people was also huge.
"We didn't bring enough ice today, I don't know if we can catch so many. Save some when you carry them to the fish warehouse."
"I know, we'll be back in a few hours anyway, so they'll definitely be fresh enough."
"Yeah."
"Bring the basket over, we've got more fish..."
The second line was also hooked and pulled up by them, and everyone immediately divided the work and cooperated, some moved the fish on the deck to the fish warehouse, and some rolled up their sleeves and followed to collect the fish.
Ye Yaodong turned around and walked to the other side of the ship, watching A Guang and the others collecting the fish on the other side.
The people on the opposite boat were all beaming with joy, and who cared about the scattered jellyfish floating on the sea at this time, all their attention was on the hairtail, and the various discussions and discussions that came over showed that everyone was very excited.
"Dongzi, are you going to catch them all?"
"Yes, catch them all. There are so many hairtails on one line. If we don't catch them now, why keep them? Some of them have already escaped. It's better to catch them earlier to save them from escaping."
"We have to catch them all too. There are too many. I didn't expect them to be so easy to catch."
"We call this precise delivery. We throw them into the school of fish. You can't just catch them casually. You are also collecting the second line, right? How many kilograms did you catch on the previous line?"
"About 600 to 700 kilograms. Some of them are bitten on the surface. How about you?"
"It's about the same."
A Guang shouted again with regret on his face: "What a pity, we bought less materials yesterday and made less fishing line, only half of yours. When I finish collecting these, I will go back in advance to buy more materials, continue to make more in the evening, and come again tomorrow."
"Okay, the number of jellyfish floating up today is obviously more, and we probably have to stop in two days."
"Just wait and see."
Ye Yaodong watched the process of their collection. The hook rate was no different. The whole main line was pulled up, and the fish hooks on the bottom fishing line were all shiny hairtails. There were very few empty hooks, and everyone was smiling.
He watched for a while, and went back to his side to see everyone collecting the goods. The people on his boat were also watching and chatting there.
He didn't know when his father would come back from trawling. If he came back, he would have to ask his father to buy more materials. It was worth spending more money while he could still fish in the next two days.
The income is much higher than the payment.
Nowadays, one longline fishing costs six to seven hundred kilograms, and 10 longlines cost six to seven thousand kilograms. If one kilogram is three or four cents, it costs more than two thousand yuan, plus sea urchin!
Sea urchins can also be sold for about 5,000 kilograms, and can also be sold for thousands of pieces.
Make a lot of money!
It’s better not to come during the jellyfish flood season, right?
Ye Yaodong did some calculations, and his heart was filled with excitement. It was so profitable. Before he came here, he had imagined that he could earn so much in a day, but he only imagined that he would earn it from jellyfish. Unexpectedly, the jellyfish had already made money before he saw it. So much.
"Ah Dong, did you ask how much hairtail fish costs yesterday?"
"It only depends on the size. It should be bigger, thicker, and more than three hairs. But it didn't specifically say whether it's a mesh belt or a fishing belt, and my dad didn't ask clearly. When I go to the shore to sell my goods later, don't put all the goods away first. Get the goods out, move a basket and ask for a price first.”
The boatman next to him interjected, "It must be more than three cents. In the past, larger fishing tapes could be sold for so much. Today's fishing tape is in complete condition and big, so it will definitely sell for more money."
"Yes, you can definitely get them for 40 or 50 cents. Big fishing belts are very expensive. Don't let the locals cheat you."
"Ask more..."
"Can this line be finished?"
"Not yet. There are a lot of fish on the hook. I need to collect them slower, not that fast. It will probably take more than two or three hours to collect them all. Moreover, some of the buoys are floating a little further away. I have to wait for them under the water." When you get up, drive the boat over to collect it.”
Ye Yaodong nodded, he knew this, "Wait for the next wave of them to move down, and also change the position to fish for sea urchins."
"By the way, I picked up the jellyfish from the sea. After a while, dozens more appeared on the surface. Our boat couldn't move in front, and they were all picked up by Lao Pei. We will have to pick them up later."
"Yes, we can't give them all the advantage..."
"Let's go cook something to eat first. We won't go back at noon. Fortunately, we have a little bit of everything on board. We'll continue working when we're full."
He didn't bring out all the boatmen today, he only brought half and left half to look after the house. His father also brought two when he went out to sea to trawl at night, so he really didn't need so many people to do the work.
Maybe we can bring two small boats out tomorrow to pick up jellyfish here, which will save the people on their boats from distracting themselves from fishing. Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. If all these bits and pieces are swept away, dozens of them can be sold.
Everyone on the boat was collecting hairtail fish in an orderly manner, but there was no longer the surprise at the beginning, and it became calm. Occasionally, they would ouch when they saw two or three fish connected head to tail.
The people fishing for sea urchins below were also taking turns, and after all the turns, they had only collected half of their longlines.
When it was his and Aguang's turn, they also went into the water and took a look at the special sight of the longline being hooked in the water.
He was obviously floating in the trench, holding the iron claws to collect the sea urchins and letting them fall into the net bag, but suddenly the white ribbon not far below started to tumble and float.
A series of sparkling hairtails rose into the sky directly near them, one long strip, one large piece, neat and orderly.
Although they were not beside them, they could still see the tail of the hairtail waving in the water until it became farther and farther away and could no longer be seen.
They kept watching until it disappeared, then resumed hunting for sea urchins.
During this period, there were also a few small fish swimming by them. Sometimes the two of them were very handy and would reach out and rub them together when they saw them, causing the fish to dodge immediately in panic.
There was a jellyfish that rose up from under Ye Yaodong. When he saw it, he moved to the side to avoid it, and then he used his iron claw to poke its big umbrella, but it reacted immediately and took one step first. He rushed to the side, then retracted the umbrella and headed towards the trench.
Ye Yaodong watched in surprise as the jellyfish that was about to rise actually sank to the bottom of the water because of his actions.
Although the jellyfish has no eyes and ears, it cannot hear the sound of the enemy or see the enemy's body, but it can quickly avoid strong enemies.
This is because there is a kind of small fish and shrimp that act as its "eyes and ears". They are called "jellyfish shrimp" and "jade pomfret".
They are very small and usually live around the mouth and wrist of jellyfish, using the jellyfish as a protective umbrella.
When enemies are approaching, these small fish and shrimps will immediately hide in the mouth and wrist of the jellyfish. When the jellyfish receives the "message", it immediately shrinks its umbrella and sinks into the sea water to avoid danger.
Sure enough, I can't be rude, I lost one of them, and this one is still the boss.
He meowed down and saw that the jellyfish did not float back to the sea hook, but swayed back and forth in the trench, and then floated far away from them.
This time, he stopped being mean and fished honestly. When jellyfish appeared next to him, he just stepped out of the way to let them rise smoothly to the sea surface.
Not to mention, the frequency of jellyfish floating up in the afternoon is much greater than in the morning.
After the two of them filled the net bag and floated it up, Pei's father had almost collected all the longlines, while he had only collected half of it.
A Guang had just climbed onto the deck. When he found out, he asked his father to go back first and ask more about the prices before selling. He stayed here to help with the fishing. At the same time, he also asked his father to buy more materials so that he could catch more tomorrow. .
"If we make more materials, we have to sail out the Harvest tomorrow. This ship has no fish warehouse, and the goods are piled on the deck to dry. There are also some jellyfish goods. In addition, there are several long lines recovered. There is no place to put our feet on the basket, and we can’t even turn around.”
"Then bring out the Harvest. This boat can also be used to trawl."
"It's okay. Yesterday I thought like my in-laws and made a little more intensive work. I bought ten pieces of materials, but the hooks were piled on top of two. I bought a lot more hooks later, and there was a lot of rope left. I’ll just add more hooks when I get back.”
Ye Yaodong also interrupted and asked, "Uncle Pei has collected everything. Do you have an estimate of how much it weighs?"
"3,000 kilograms, right? They're all piled up on the deck. The sun is too hot. We don't have a fish warehouse here, and we don't have enough ice to buy them, so we have to send them back quickly."
"Then you go back first. I haven't collected all the goods here yet. I'll go back after I finish collecting them."
"Then I will go back to sell the goods first and inquire about the price in advance. Then when you go back, you will just have to sell them directly."
"Okay, I believe I can sell it for a good price."
"Then we'll go back first."
In the past few days, they have been trawling there to sell goods, and the locals have noticed it, and they can even chat with them about the receiving situation and what the price of today's goods is.
After Pei's father sailed away, they were the only ones floating there. Ye Yaodong and A Guang also sat shirtless on the ground, watching the boatmen collect the hairtails one by one and arrange them neatly. Arranged in the basket.
"Dongzi, how many pounds have you collected?"
"Is it about the same as you? We collected it together at the same time. After you finish collecting it, we should be almost halfway."
"If I had known, I would have done more yesterday. I was thinking that if you have more people, you can do more quickly. If we have fewer people, we can do less. Your quantity is twice as much as mine. You can collect six or seven thousand catties today. "
"should have."
"Big money."
"It's the same for you. You won't make less money. You can take two more days to make up for the gap."
"Those people are complaining there, saying it's early..."
"Don't worry about them. I have already told you that you can choose not to follow them. You will be happy when you make money, and you will gossip when you don't."
"You said that your cousins were abandoned on the shore and no one brought them here. Will this place be shaken up by then?"
"They don't dare."
Ye Yaodong is still confident. They can't bear the anger of the villagers. If they really do such a stupid thing, they will be ostracized immediately and there will be no good fruits to eat when they go back.
"But probably we don't need to wait for them to shake this place out, the locals will find out. As long as we bring back a large number of goods for a few days, we will be targeted by the locals, probably... maybe it won't take a few days? We are already eye-catching.”
"That's right. It's probably not their turn to be exposed. We are being followed by the locals. It looks like there will be a tough battle in a few days."
"Well, Chen Jianian and the others will probably be here in a day or two. The factory has started working today."
"I don't know how many people they have there."
"I don't know." Ye Yaodong shook his head, unable to guess.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
In the evening, after they finished harvesting the hairtail, they got stuck at the point where the sun was setting. When they finished their work and returned, they actually saw a lot of trawlers parked on the pier, at least twenty.
And the locals on the shore were talking a lot, saying that a large group of foreigners were coming.
When they docked and landed, some local fishermen pulled them and asked if their accomplices were here to catch jellyfish again?
Ye Yaodong always answered that he didn't know. The people he brought here had been here a few days ago, and he was definitely not fishing around the coast. They had all been fishing outside these days.
After that, he didn't care about the local people's comments. He first went to his father who was waiting on the shore to find out which company he wanted to sell the hairtail to.
When Ye's father came back from trawling, he went around to the trench to take a look at the harvest. He originally wanted to wait and come back together, but Ye Yaodong asked him to come back first to sell the goods. At the same time, he also asked him to ask Pei's father to which family the hairtails were sold to. , how much it sold for.
So Father Ye is waiting here specifically to wait for them to come back and lead them to sell goods.
The ones that collect sea urchins and fish hairtails are really not the same ones.
However, after they first carried the sea urchin to the scale and then carried the hairtail ashore, the family that collected the sea urchin quickly stopped him and gave him the same price.
Ye Yaodong thought that he would not bother the two owners. Since he could give the same price, he sold them all to the same family.
Thanks to Pei's father, he came over in advance to negotiate the price. He just had to sell it at the ready price, which was 50 cents per pound.
These fishing straps are all beautiful and fresh, very big in size, and particularly uniform. Almost all are about one meter in length. There are no particularly big or small ones. This is also the characteristic of fishing straps. .
Unlike the net belt, a net is dragged up, and the sizes are different.
This price is considered high. The people at the purchasing point also said that the prices were not so good in the past. They also saw that these were caught by fishing. They are big and beautiful. An ordinary mesh belt is only worth two or three dollars. hair.
They took the lead in weighing the sea urchins. Today's sea urchin harvest was a little more than yesterday because there were two more laborers.
Although we still finished work at the same time, we just shared the number of dives, but the quantity still increased a bit, reaching 5,425 kilograms, and sold for a total of 1,085 yuan.
When the fishing tape was being weighed, people at the outlet couldn’t help but ask where they caught it and how they caught so much. I have never seen a fishing boat catch so many at once.
It was simply unheard of and unseen.
Ye Yaodong also explained, saying that he had encountered a large school of fish. Without the large school of fish, he would not have been able to catch such a large amount.
Everyone is a little doubtful. Unless they are dragged with a fishing net and caught in one catch, even if they encounter a school of fish, how many long lines must be used to catch so many, and there are really no other miscellaneous fish in this one.
When Father Pei was selling goods in the previous wave, the people around him were surprised. He came back with more goods this time, and there were also many people gathered around to watch the excitement during the weighing.
His batch of goods is much better than the pile of miscellaneous goods brought back by fishing boats like them.
In terms of quantity alone, the combined goods from several purchase points were not as much as what he had salvaged, because there were no big ships docking. After all, this was just a small town.
However, some people saw the messy long lines brought up by their boatmen and saw that there were hooks on each fishing line, which was contrary to common sense. They suddenly realized it and spread the word.
After the scale was weighed and all the money was settled, Ye Yaodong didn't care what others said.
After weighing his hairtail fish, they totaled 6,230 kilograms, and there were more than 400 kilograms that were damaged on the surface and not so beautiful. They were discounted by half, only 2.5 cents.
So he sold these hairtails alone for 6230x0.5+425x0.25=3221.25 yuan.
There were also scattered jellyfish that were caught and sold for 32.58, which was more than yesterday, and these were divided with Aguang's boat.
The jellyfish blood is taken back and boiled, and when it is dried and accumulated, it can be sold at a good price.
So in total, he earned 4,338 yuan, 8.3 cents today, and the actual cost of spending it was low, and the labor force was even cheaper.
Ye Yaodong carried a large amount of money in his arms and walked out together surrounded by boatmen. By the way, they also left two baskets of hairtail with damaged skin and carried them back together.
The locals around him were talking about how much he could sell such a large amount of goods, but he refused to respond. However, they could roughly guess that it was a few thousand yuan. After all, the quantity was there, and the locals at the purchasing point would not hide it for him. With.
He thought, fortunately, there were many of them, and they basically gathered in the same area. There were 30 people living together in his place alone, and they were all surrounded by their own people. People who had ideas had to think carefully.
We should go with more people tomorrow, and there will be more people selling goods when we come back. There is strength in numbers, which is still useful.
It wasn't until we walked out of the pier that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, no one rushed up to grab it or start a fight. It scared me to death."
"At this time, local fishermen come back to sell their goods, and gangsters will only show up after hearing about it. It's not as mixed as in big towns. Bring more people out tomorrow."
"Yes, bring more people to support you at the dock. You should also have two guns hidden in the fish you want to keep."
"Don't be afraid, there are many of us and we don't live too far away..."
Ye Yaodong comforted everyone who was frightened, "Don't worry too much. We have stayed in this town last year. Most people still know us and know that we have weapons in our hands and are not easy to mess with."
"That's true."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject and asked his father, "I saw that there were about 20 more trawlers on the pier today..."
"It was Chen Jianian and the others who arrived. When I went back, I saw so many boats. Then I asked the people who stayed behind. Everyone said that they arrived at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Then they made temporary arrangements and asked for places to stay."
"I guess so. Otherwise, why would there suddenly be so many boats? The locals would also be talking about it."
"He brought quite a lot of people over on this trip. He probably brought over all the people he knew and could get to know around the corner. Counting hundreds of people."
"More than us."
"Including the boats, we have more than them."
"Have they all settled in?"
"I heard that the locals are raising prices, but they have no choice but to hold their noses and accept it, otherwise they will have no place to live. It's a little far away from us. The places they rented last year have been rented by people from our side this year. ”
"Oh, then be careful and settle in tomorrow. They will probably go to the trench tomorrow."
"Well, they all come from the same place, so everyone can catch their own fish. It's not the peak season yet, so the number is still scarce."
He changed the subject and asked: "You came back earlier. Did you buy the materials for longline fishing?"
"Not much. There is not much in stock in this town. If I didn't tell you in advance, they didn't prepare more. Yesterday, our two families took turns to buy a batch. In the afternoon, Lao Pei replenished it. By the time I went there, there wasn't much left. At most, there was not much left. Just make two more.”
"Okay, let's make two more. Chen Jianian and the others are here, and we probably won't be able to fish for two days."
"Fortunately, I came here a few days early."
They talked while walking, and after a while they returned to the rental house. Ye Yaodong asked everyone to take a shower first. After washing and eating, he also returned to the room, put the money sold today and yesterday's together and locked it in the lock box.
There was no place to hide in the rental house. It was someone else's house, so hiding the lockbox seemed more reliable. Anyway, he had to leave someone to guard it every day.
Father Ye followed the house and watched him hide the money before asking: "Do you have 5,000 yuan from the sales in the past two days?"
"Yes, it's just over 5,000. Let's see tomorrow and see if we can get 10,000 yuan together. I gave you the money I paid in advance yesterday, and I'll give you a piece of the money I paid in advance today."
"No need, the money from today's sale is with me, I will buy it directly."
"That's fine. If there's any left, you don't have to give it to me. You can keep it for yourself. Are you going out to trawl the net tonight?"
"You can't just sit there. You don't need that many people over there. It's good to earn dozens of yuan for a trip."
"Then you come back early tomorrow afternoon, um... come back at noon, and then after I take back the longline tomorrow afternoon, I will sail back with Uncle Pei to sell it, and by the way, I can go and sell it before the bank gets off work. Send money back.”
"Okay, it's not safe to keep so much money around. It's better to remit the money back as soon as possible."
"Um."
Father Ye said happily: "I have earned 5,000 yuan in just two days here. If I earn another day tomorrow, I can earn 10,000 yuan. It is really easy to earn. It seems that I can earn a lot of money this time. I will definitely earn more than last year." ”
"That's because of the bonus of these goods. It's not necessarily true for jellyfish alone. The boat Chen Jiannian brought this year is twice that of last year. I don't know how many days it will be enough to fish."
"If there is nothing left to catch, you can still go into the water to catch sea urchins, and you won't have to worry about making money."
"Well, let's see."
He still remembers that there will be a strong typhoon this year, but he doesn’t quite remember the month. There may be typhoons in their coastal areas in October. It’s hard to say. If there is a typhoon, nothing can be done.
