"I've made him a lot of money, so I should ask him to give you some money..."

Ye Yaodong explained: "Last year he also gave me a red envelope, but I didn't ask for it. This year he said it and took the initiative to share it with me."

"It's good to have points this year."

"Hey, all the good things have happened to him."

The two of them were complaining about each other, but they were actually very envious.

After chatting for a while, they stopped talking about it after seeing A Guang arrive. After all, they were all good friends. Although they were just complaining, it was not very good to hear it.

They all had a tacit understanding and chatted about other topics.

"Dongzi, when will the number of jellyfish there increase?"

"I don't know, it's hard to say. Anyway, the jellyfish factory will start working tomorrow, and I probably won't be able to receive many goods. It will take two days anyway, so just wait."

He is not in a hurry now. He hopes that the flood season will be as late as possible, so that he can catch more sea urchins and hairtail, otherwise he will not be able to do it when the peak flood season comes.

Other villagers also gathered with them to chat about jellyfish and enjoy the cool breeze. Who made their team here the largest? Others were scattered. After eating, everyone wanted to gather here with the big team. At least there were more people here.

, I can know a little more and be more lively.

There was nothing to do at night. Everyone was enjoying the cool air and chatting about today's fishing situation. Ye Yaodong's people were also busy doing longline fishing.

The jellyfish blood I brought back today has been boiled and dried at the door.

Aguang's crew was also sitting in front of his house doing longline fishing, not far from each other.

When the locals see such a large group of people at their door, they stay away as much as possible and try not to have anything to do with them. After all, such a large group of men can do anything and are not easy to mess with.

Without waiting for the next day, all the fishing boats went out to sea to trawl nets at night, and no one wanted to sit around and wait.

Only a few small boats, including the Dongsheng and Fengsheng, were still at the dock.

At dawn the next day, Ye Yaodong called everyone up. After a simple breakfast, two people were left to guard the place, and he asked people to put all the longline fishing done last night into a basket.

The basket bearer carried it onto the boat.

During the day, only a dozen people did it, but at night, all 30 of them worked together while enjoying the cool weather. The efficiency was very high. Longline fishing also allowed them to make 10 baskets. If Ye’s father hadn’t bought limited materials, they could still have done it.

Do more.

Although the quantity is the same as what he put at home before, there are five or six times more hooks on each fishing line. In the past, one basket at home contained 100 hooks, and ten baskets contained 10 fishing lines and 1,000 hooks. Now the total number is 100 hooks.

But there are five to six thousand hooks, which is different.

Fortunately, he has many people on hand, so he doesn't have to worry about the people to do the work. Now he only worries about the lack of work.

The people in the small boats also got up early and arrived at the shore, but they could only watch helplessly as they sailed out.

The flood season has not yet arrived, and there are too many people and too little food. Even the trawlers can only go offshore to trawl to make a living. Their small boats can row out to try their luck on the sea just like the local fishing boats.

The locals still have hand-thrown nets that can be used to cast out and collect some goods, but some of them are not prepared and do not bring them over at all. They only bring fishing nets and kitchen knives to catch jellyfish and make a lot of money.

Nowadays, those who are caught blind have no choice but to go out and try their luck, otherwise they are just sitting at home.

It's not a good idea to ask someone to take it out, otherwise it will just be like yesterday, when you go out for a walk and have to beg someone to bring it back.

Although the other brothers, Ye Yaoguo and others, were a little reluctant, they felt a lot more balanced when they thought that the other boats that were taken out yesterday also returned empty-handed and stayed on the shore like them today.

Ye Yaodong drove the Dongsheng, and his father also drove another boat out to trawl at night.

And Aguang and Pei's father only followed them in the trawler. The Harvest was left on the shore today. Because it was very fuel-hungry, it was not ready to be driven. They were not Ye Yaodong, who could earn a thousand yuan a day, and

Sea urchins and hairtail are also fish. They only use long lines to catch hairtail, so a small boat is more than enough.

They came to the trench as usual, and because they were the only two boats out, they did not bring a large force. The large force had nothing to gain yesterday, so they did not attract the attention of the locals.

When we arrived near the trench, there were no signs of other fishing boats except for scattered jellyfish floating around.

When they came over, of course they couldn't let go of the jellyfish floating on the sea. The number was twice as much as what they saw when they came out yesterday. There were one or two hundred by visual inspection. Although they were still sparse, they were still no more than the ones they saw when they came out yesterday.

What is lacking above is more than what is below.

"There are a little more today. It looks like more and more will float up in less than two days."

"Now I would like to postpone the flood season until I can catch as many sea urchins and hairtails as possible."

"That's true..."

"I'll fish it out first. After I finish fishing, I'll find a good place to launch it into the water."

As soon as their two boats, one large and one small, rushed into this area, they began to scrape the jellyfish on the sea surface. After they were all swept away, the small boats followed the big boats.

As soon as the Dongsheng stopped, Aguang also sailed over and climbed aboard the Dongsheng.

Seeing that Ye Yaodong was already putting on his equipment, he also took another set and put it on.

"I'll join you in the water later to help you fish for sea urchins. I'll take turns with you and put down the longline together, giving you another free labor force."

Aguang thought well and borrowed his equipment to go into the water to find a good position to fish the longline. At the same time, he used his extra time to help him fish for sea urchins and repay the loan with his labor.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay."

They were found together in the water yesterday. Although I borrowed his equipment, I also wanted to take him into the water to satisfy his curiosity, but after all, they were found together, and he would definitely not be able to catch all the hairtail fish.

, it’s okay to give A Guang some credit, and he’s not an outsider either.

Now it would be okay to have an extra laborer to help him salvage it.

He reminded again, "I have a larger number, we have to spread them out to avoid knots."

"I know that the trench is quite wide, and I can't tell how long it is. When I release it later, I have to go into the water and find a good position. The fishing boat may have to move, otherwise the air pipe will be too short.

, the distance you can swim under the seabed is limited.”

"Well, put a fishing line down and take a look first. I will follow you into the water and aim the hook neatly at the trench. Hurry up, I'm ready."

After waiting for Aguang for a while, when he was ready, the two of them followed him into the water.

The longline had already been put down before them. After they got into the water, they only had to follow their respective longlines to dive to the bottom, then find the location of the trench and pull the longlines into the trench.

Because each branch line has a large number, they swim and pull under the water.

Fortunately, they made less fishing lines and placed the hooks of the forked lines more densely, so the front line they pulled was slightly shorter. Only when they landed halfway and the fishing boat moved outward a little, the next trip to the water would be all over.

nailed it.

The fishing boat did not move after they came up. Ye Yaodong inspected the position where the fishing line was placed. There were many sea urchins growing densely in that trench. It was a little further away from the position they dug out yesterday. They could catch a big fish again today.

Specially caught.

The trench below was an unknown number of meters long. He went up and down the trench twice and moved along the trench. The cliffs on both sides were crowded with sea urchins, and it was still impossible to see the end.

And the whole silver-white ribbon underneath is also glowing there. I don’t know how many meters it is densely covered. Except when the jellyfish floats up, you can see the empty black hole. At other times, it is gathered together and glows, like a flat white ribbon.

road.

By the time he came up from work, he was already panting from exhaustion. The two trips up and down were too exhausting.

Ah Guang, who had less fishing lines, came up and lay down on the deck before him.

After the longline fishing was done, the rest was left to the other boatmen. After the two took off their equipment, they handed it over to others and went into the water to fish for sea urchins.

"It's quite exhausting to go down to the bottom of the sea."

"Definitely, there is pressure at the bottom of the water. There is pressure. Rest for a while. The hairtail fish are in the ditch. It should be easy to bite the hook. After resting for a long time, try to reel in a line at noon to take a look."

"good."

Ye Yaodong also took off his wet shirt and pants, and sat there to rest in only his shorts.

Other people on the boat who had not yet had their turn to go into the water were sitting there chatting. A Guang's boat next to them was also idle. Everyone in the boat was standing there boredly blowing the wind. They only moved when they saw jellyfish coming up.

stand up.

To be honest, we don’t need so many people. It’s enough for two or three people to come out to release and retrieve the longline. However, both father and son plan to follow them out to see if it’s feasible, so except for the people who stay behind, the rest of them

I just brought them all out by the way. Anyway, wages are calculated whether you work or not.

After resting enough, Ye Yaodong also stood up and observed the sea surface. He felt that the flood season was coming soon, and the number of jellyfish floating up today was much greater than yesterday.

After Aguang had rested enough, he also took turns to enter the water. If there was one person missing, he would join in and form a team to go down together.

It was noon after 12 people took two turns. Except for the first trip, which had time to fish long lines, they also went into the water to fish for sea urchins for a total of 11 times. The deck was piled full of them.

Everyone's performance has also become stable. After they have become proficient, both of them can gain about 200 kilograms in each wave. In these two rounds alone, they gained more than 2,000 kilograms.

And they had been fishing longline for a long time, and Father Pei and the others had been there waiting to catch it.

Ye Yaodong also wanted to see the effect of intensively placing fish hooks. After calculating it for half a day, he asked A Guang to collect one together and have a look.

When the time comes, release it first, and there will be another one before 12 o'clock, and you can pay for the monthly ticket to get more updates.
