The two looked at it for a while, then reached out to touch the squid eggs. After their eyes met, they started to move around again.

Now that I can't speak or communicate, I can only do business first.

Ye Yaodong selected a cage to rescue him.

He also helped.

After untying one, the two of them pulled along the end of the rope to test that there was no hanging bottom behind the cages in the same row, and then pulled the rope upstream.

As soon as he emerged from the water, Azheng took off his mask and air tube, and said impatiently: "Oh shit, it turns out that this is how squid lay eggs. I've learned a lot. Let me go, those transparent bunches are hanging like grapes."

.”

Xiaoxiao immediately answered, "How do you lay eggs? What did you see? Come up quickly and tell me."

"I saw a series of transparent squid laying eggs on the ground cage..."

As soon as Ah Zheng came up, he vividly described what he saw under the water, which made Xiao Xiao feel itchy.

Once the equipment on his body was taken off, he immediately took it and put it on.

Ye Yaodong handed the rope he brought to others and took off everything on his body.

"There are too many cages down here, but don't let all the squids go here to lay eggs instead of going to the branches."

The others were talking lively, and they all reacted when they heard this.

"No way?"

If this is the case, then they will definitely receive less goods.

"Then why don't we just come here and cast the net accurately? Isn't it the same as throwing branches to trap squid?" Ah Zheng scratched his head, feeling that the impact would not be big, so he could just fish at a different spot.

"What's the same? There are reefs here. Brothers who know how to hang on to the bottom, use your brain to think about it."

Although some ground traps are only three to five meters underwater, they are all hung on the bottom by the reefs. When they are fishing, the fishing nets will still be easily hung on the bottom when they are lowered, so they cannot gamble.

Moreover, some ground cages are on the bottom of the sea. How can we get them online?

"Oh, yes."

"If you want to go down and take a look, just go down and take a look. Some of them will definitely come here. I'll take a look in the next two days and quickly close down these cages."

"OK."

He thought to himself, mainly the cages around the reef.

If it's under the sea, it's too deep. Squid will only lay eggs 2 to 10 meters underwater, not too deep.

"Have a quick look and bring a few ground cages up by the way. Then go to the branches and have a look to see if you can net a little. If you can't net much, you can continue to drag the net."

"I know, I know, I will help collect a few cages and bring them up." After Xiao Xiaoyi finished speaking, he jumped down with Chen Shi.

Ye Yaodong is no longer worried about them. This is not their first time.

He continued to fiddle with the pile of groceries on the deck. He quickly picked out the fresh ones, sprinkled them with ice cubes, covered them with cotton, and carried them aside to avoid them becoming smelly. They are still easily damaged by direct sunlight on the sea.

The two of them came up after going down for more than ten minutes, and they also brought up the floor cage.

He ignored their chattering and excited exchanges. As soon as the ground cage was closed, he drove them all back to their respective boats, and then sailed the boat towards the area where he dropped the branches.

Probably the squid have just arrived to lay eggs, and they may have been diverted by the ground cages over there. There are not many of them. I just cast a few nets around and only got a few kilograms of goods. The delivery was not ideal.

He simply gave up. He might as well hit the ground cage in the water, and the profit would be higher.

While waiting here at night, he would go out to the island to pick up dead squid that had laid eggs, which would be easier.

After making the decision, he sailed back to the reef and continued to launch the water to salvage the cage.

He couldn't see the other two boats from his position. They were on the other side of the island, so he didn't know what the two small boats had harvested. He didn't see their fishing boats trawling, so he ignored them.

It wasn't until he saw that the sun was going down that he changed his position to reel in the longline. At this time, he also saw the two boats heading towards him one after the other.

"Dongzi, I asked you why you didn't use a trawl net. It turns out you were just setting out a longline."

"There are no fishing nets. This is a new ship. It was used to transport goods before. It is not equipped with fishing nets."

"That's right. Weaving a temporary net is troublesome and takes a lot of time. Longline fishing is a little easier. You are at home temporarily anyway, so let's go back first."

"Okay, I can collect it quickly."

They said hello and left first. Ye Yaodong hurried back after finishing the longline fishing, rushing to go home before dark.

Today, the villagers all have more or less squid, and now that the flood season has just arrived, they can sell them at a good price. Ye Yaodong doesn't plan to harvest them now. He plans to wait until the flood season to harvest them. The quantity is now small and he can't get many.

However, his entire boatload of fish covered the entire deck, which aroused everyone's shock and asked him how he caught it.

"How to catch it? If you catch it like this, how else can you catch it?"

"Why do I feel a little stinky?"

"I also think the smell of smelly seafood is very strong?"

"Sea food usually smells fishy, ​​but it's not this smelly. What's going on today?"

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. When he saw the people he had called to push the trolley back to get the baskets, he quickly asked them to get on the boat to deal with the spoiled fish and shrimps.

When it was first hauled up, there was just a slight smell, but it wasn't very bad. When they picked out the fresh goods, they deliberately threw away some of the more rotten ones.

There was just nothing to pack, so these stale items were piled on the deck and exposed to the sun for a day. Although goods were constantly being hauled up and piled on top, the strong odor still drifted ashore in the sea breeze after we docked.

In just a short time, there were already a bunch of big-headed green flies flying on the deck. Now that the weather is getting warmer, there are more flies.

Ye Yaodong glanced at it and turned his eyes away. Whoever wanted to keep it home would handle it. He had his goods lifted and weighed first.

"A Dong, why are there so many flies on the goods on your boat?"

"Are those broken? So many flies?"

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, those are not new."

“It turns out it’s all rotten fish and shrimp!”

"No wonder, it smells so bad..."

Ye Yaodong: Feeling offended, as if you are swearing?

"They picked up a few cages. These are the stale goods in the cages. They want to take them back to feed the chickens and ducks."

"I said, why are there so many products? It turns out they all stink. Will these chickens and ducks get sick after eating them?"

"No, ducks still eat the smelly fish and shrimp stranded on some beaches, right?"

"So many flies..."

Everyone pointed at those smelly fish and rotten shrimps and discussed them.

After Ye Yaodong finished weighing, the goods on the deck were also processed, and the damaged floor cages were loaded onto pallets and pushed to the workshop.

When he took the inventory and returned to the workshop, Lin Xiuqing was weighing kelp at the door.

There were still a bunch of people watching, but not as many as the previous few days. After watching too much, it no longer felt fresh.

The only people who are still watching there are fishermen who are more concerned about the production. The women no longer join in the fun. It would be more interesting to kill fish next door and communicate with other women.

"Is there still such a large amount today? I see there is no kelp around our house?"

"Also, we collected all the stuff from the vacant lot next to it today. There is still a batch from the old primary school that will be collected tomorrow. Once collected, everything will be ready."

"It took quite a few days."

"Originally, it took many days to collect it from the bottom of the sea."

"We will know the total production tomorrow."

"Well, I've remembered it all. I'll calculate the total tomorrow after the last batch is collected. Also, Boss Zhou called me this afternoon and asked for 10 tons. I told him early the day after tomorrow, and he said it was okay. I'll collect it today.

The quantity is still a little short, I’ll just collect it tomorrow.”

"How many tons are there?"

He said there would definitely not be enough to sell, and these bosses would definitely not only ask for one batch if they wanted the goods. If they wanted the first batch, if it was easy to sell, they would definitely continue to ask for more in the future.

10 tons is only 20,000 kilograms. China has such a large population. This thing is cheap, can be stored, and has strong seasonality. After the harvest period, it is impossible to have it later. Stocking up is

Inevitable.

"Yesterday we collected more than 4 tons, and today the quantity will be a little more. After the weighing is completed, there should be more than 5 tons. Tomorrow, the village chief said that the quantity will not be that much, and there may only be more than 3 tons left."

"Then there should be about two or three tons left, so I can save it and sell it slowly."

"almost."

"I'm just saying it's not enough to sell, right? The army only sent one batch, and they won't be able to give it away anymore. There are also ordinary people I just met some time ago, and they can't give a second batch."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Who knew this thing was so easy to sell? It's also the first year. Last year didn't count at all. Last year, it was only ten thousand jins. After collecting it intermittently for several days, it was only enough for one car. It's not even this year's.

pretty."

"Well, I can safely collect more next year. The storage space in the city is now large enough, so I won't be afraid to store dozens of tons."

"knew."

She curiously asked what was going on when several workers just transported several carts of stinky fish and shrimp home.
