The fishing boats all sailed in the same direction at first. When they were far away, everyone went to their own familiar waters, and there were only two big boats beside them, one in front and one behind.

The coldness of the sea breeze on the sea increased, and everyone returned to the cabin one after another, intending to continue sleeping. Not long after we set off, there was nothing that needed to be done on the ship. The tidying up had been completed when we just set off.

It was still less than 3 o'clock in the morning, and the fishing boats would not start lowering the nets until almost dawn. There were still several hours left, enough for them to catch up on another sleep and regain their energy before working the next day.

Ye Yaodong also put on his coat instead of just a vest. He stood on the deck for a while before returning to the cabin and lying down.

It was dark all around, there was nothing but water, and there was nothing to do standing there. If I couldn't sleep, I had to go back to the cabin and lie down, so I would be energetic tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, everyone had nothing to communicate with. After lying down, they closed their eyes. Apart from the roar of machines, there was no sound in their ears.

Ye Yaodong fell asleep without knowing when. When he woke up, the sun had risen.

The bright orange sun hung in the sky like a salted egg yolk. He also yawned, stretched, ate some porridge, and went to the cockpit to replace his father.

"Did you just get off the Internet?"

"Yes, it hasn't been half an hour since we put it down. Have you eaten your food? I'll leave it to you to watch while I go back to the cabin to sleep."

He nodded. Since he didn't say anything else, it was a very peaceful boat ride that night.

Father Ye is also tired. He is getting older and his health is not as good as that of young people. He cannot bear to stay up late.

Ye Yaodong maintained the speed of the fishing boat's operation, paid attention to the surroundings of the fishing boat, and worked seriously.

As the sun rises higher and higher above the sea level, the temperature on the sea gradually rises, and it is time to retract the first net.

The boatmen also took off their coats one after another, went to collect the cables, and started to raise the net. The mouth of the net was gradually tightened, and they were slowly pulled on board.

The fishing nets behind also gradually floated up, carrying large white flowers and fish with their bellies turned over.

"So many white prawns..."

"Looking at the large white area, I thought it was fish, but it turned out to be prawns."

"The prawns are good. They are big, meaty and valuable. They are much more valuable than ordinary fish."

Ye Yaodong also saw the goods being collected, and saw that there were quite a lot of shrimps, probably several hundred kilograms.

The boatmen were all done with their work. They poured out the goods as soon as they came up, then slowly lowered the fishing nets again and continued lowering the nets.

From morning to night, the fishing boat's operations never stop, except when sorting the goods and having a little free time to sit down and take a rest.

It was also because on the first day, everyone had enough rest at night and everyone worked together during the day, so the sorting speed was too fast and there was still time to rest.

Otherwise, it is usually one network after another, and they will continue to load goods as soon as they finish the work.

After Ye's father woke up, Ye Yaodong handed the fishing boat to his father. Just as a net of goods had just been collected, the boatmen lowered the empty fishing nets, and he went down to help sort them.

However, when he came down from the helm, he happened to see them squatting or sitting there pulling fish. Someone suddenly pulled out a large piece of red coral from a pile of fish.

"I didn't expect to be able to pull this thing out of the sea, but don't break the fishing net..."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Ye Yaodong looked at him and sighed. When he wanted to throw it away, he quickly shouted, "Don't throw it away."

"You want this?"

"Yes, this red one is so beautiful, why do you want to throw it away?"

"It's useless to take it. I heard that there are a lot of kelp in the sea farther away, and they come in all colors. Well... there is also a large piece of kelp here, dragged up from the sea, do you want it?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the pile of kelp he specially picked out from the side, grabbed a handful and gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will use it to make soup at night."

"We thought so too, so we picked them out separately and hung them up on a rope to dry in the sun. After drying, we can take them home and eat them. It's rare to catch such a large amount."

"These wild kelp are quite thick and should be delicious when cooked. Don't cut off the heads. I want to eat the kelp heads, which are crispier."

"Okay, what are you doing with this broken coral? You can't eat it or drink it. Why don't you get some more kelp and add a meal to it?"

"Don't you think it looks good? Put it in the cockpit."

"It's a pity that I didn't cut two ribs and bring them on board, otherwise I could still stew the ribs with kelp."

"Aren't there some small kelp seedlings here? Just boil it and add a few shrimps and it will still be very fresh."

Ye Yaodong held the coral in one hand and squatted down to grab the large pile of kelp with the other hand, and also touched the tender kelp seedlings.

"If you take such a small kelp seedling back and clamp it with a rope, hang it on the sea and raise it, it can grow up."

"Take it back to raise it? How to raise it?"

"Can't we raise it by clamping its head with a rope and hanging it in the sea? It's quite simple, and it's also very long."

He said matter-of-factly, that’s how they were raised anyway, but no one here yet raises them.

"It will fall into the sea, let the waves hit it a few times and then sink..."

"The rope needs to be clamped a little tighter and some buoyancy balls can be used to tie it up so it won't fall off."

"Haha, then Adong, pick out the tender ones and bring them back to you to raise. You can teach us how to raise them..."
