The longline was taken back yesterday and had to be sorted out by someone to repair the missing hooks and branch lines. It would not be completed so quickly.

So there was no longline fishing today, and the whole day was spent taking turns launching the water to collect the ground traps.

Fortunately, he had calculated that his father would be back in the next two days, otherwise they would not be able to withstand such a high-intensity water dive. Fortunately, it was only four or five meters underwater, and the pressure was not high, so there would be no damage to the ears.

When the people on the Dongsheng came back, he asked them to come over and take turns launching the water. He also added some subsidies and more people to share the work, so that everyone could reduce their workload.

On that boat, except for his father and Chen Laoqi, they were all young and strong, and they were all good at fishing for sea urchins in the past.

Today's harvest is more than twice that of yesterday. After all, they have been left for a year. Apart from being filled with some seaweed and silt, the contents of each cage are particularly impressive.

Those with less seaweed have more goods, and those with more seaweed have less goods. Today, even seaweed is still wanted.

The geese are plucking their feathers.

One asked for it, and the other two also asked for it, and the three of them divided up the seaweed into piles of seaweed.

Ye Yaodong didn't care at first, but when he saw more and more seaweed, which was piled higher than others, he became speechless.

These are not just seaweeds, but also various types of seaweeds. Anyway, they are all called seaweeds.

"You don't let it go at all!"

"My mother said, feed the pigs."

"My wife said to bring a handful to make soup, but since you want to feed the pigs, I will also bring some of it back to feed the pigs."

"Me too."

"You just divide it among yourselves and go back."

Today, Ye Yaodong came back with a boat full of smelly fish and shrimps. No one was surprised. They just thought it smelled bad. No one was surprised that he also brought a boat full of seaweed.

You can even praise him a few times, saying that he is thrifty and does not waste anything, and you can even tease him for asking for grass.

He sounded a little embarrassed. He had plucking his hair so much that nothing was left.

"A few of them said they wanted to take them back to feed the pigs, so they dragged them back. The same goes for those smelly fish and rotten shrimps. They had to take them back to be dried, crushed and fed to chickens and ducks before they let them go."

This must be explained, otherwise the villagers may think that he even wants smelly fish and rotten shrimps, but he still has to dry them in the sun, or throw them into fish sauce to ferment, and his reputation will be ruined.

"So, I thought it was so much that you had to throw it into the fish sauce to ferment, but it doesn't make any difference anyway."

He knew that some people would think too much.

"How can I still sell this little product? These can't enter my workshop."

"That's good, otherwise everyone won't feel safe eating your fish sauce."

"Don't worry."

He explained a few words and then lined up to be weighed. The spat and barnacles on the boat were dragged to the workshop on a cart first. If they wanted to take some home, let them take it themselves.

The remaining smelly fish, rotten shrimps and seaweed will be distributed and processed by themselves.

As for those cages, Azheng and Xiaoxiao happened to be at the dock, so he asked them to move them by themselves and handle the distribution.

Yesterday I just asked the workers to randomly transport it to them, but now it is better to let them distribute it themselves.

Ye Yaodong also hurried back to the workshop after the goods he brought back were weighed.

"Ah Qing."

"Hey, here, all the goods are sold out?"

"Well, have you collected all the kelp?"

"It's collected. The quantity is indeed less today, only 3 tons and 200 kilograms."

"Where's the total?"

"It's 29 tons and 295 kilograms. After lunch in the afternoon, they collected it all and delivered it. After I finished the calculation, I calculated the total, and the village chief and others all laughed crookedly."

"It's quite a lot. If 10 tons are dried and one ton is dried, this is equivalent to a fresh yield of about 10 tons per mu. It is already considered a high yield."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "Yes, the yield is high. They also said that they should plant more crops in the second half of the year. They have already gone back to write a report in the afternoon. One after another, villagers came back from going to sea and came to ask me. I told them directly

They told them, and then asked them to go to the village committee to ask."

"Well, just leave it to the village committee to make arrangements. How much did it cost in total?"

"A little over 4,000 yuan."

"That's a pretty good profit."

"Yes, if we work hard next year, we will make a fortune with this year's profit."

"Hopefully, there are only a few people breeding them now, and things are more expensive when they are scarce, so the prices are pretty good. When we start to breed them in large quantities, I don't know if the prices will go down."

Lin Xiuqing frowned and thought it was right.

"Forget it, this is not what we worry about. Anyway, everyone sees this year's success. Whether the price will be the same next year is not up to us. Even if it is half cheaper after widespread planting, everyone will still make a profit.

You will be happy. To everyone, the least valuable thing is labor force."

"Well, you're right, let's talk about next year's matters. We've already done a good job this year."

Ye Yaodong walked around the workshop and heard everyone happily saying that this year the kelp yield per mu would reach 10 tons, and one ton of kelp could be dried and sold for 140 yuan per acre.

Even people who have just returned from a trip to the sea have to stop and ask about the women inside when passing by the workshop door.

Everyone's desire to share is very high. People are not allowed to enter or exit the workshop casually. They can communicate even through the fence and talk enthusiastically.

His mother was also there at this time. When she saw him, she pulled him and said: "Why do you bring so much goods to others to feed the chickens? We can keep some at home. There are so many seaweeds."

, said to take it back to feed the pigs, you can also leave some for your sister-in-law and them to feed the pigs..."

"Why are you so stingy? I want to keep those goods back. The villagers should worry about whether I dried them in the sun and sold them, or put them in fish sauce and fermented them."

"How could..."

"Why not? They all have very rich imaginations. You can take them back to feed the chickens. The chickens and ducks at home are on the beach. You don't know how to find something to eat? Where are you going to get the smelly fish and rotten shrimps?"

"

"Okay, then there's seaweed..."

"I want grass, so I have to dig hard. I don't raise pigs, and my elder sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law didn't ask me for it either..."

"They didn't tell me, because they told me to help them feed the pigs, and they had to go out to sea to pick squid. They had to work from dawn to dusk every day, and they had to take care of the pigs."

Mother Ye babbled with disgust, "You are so cruel. You have raised so many piglets and caught 8 piglets. You are not afraid of exhaustion. You are there before dawn, roaring, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um."

"The kids couldn't get enough pigweed to eat. I had to go to the mountain to get pigweed for them during my lunch break. I couldn't even straighten my back. I had to go back to cook pig food later."

"Your father hasn't eaten a few meals of the rice I cooked in the past two years. Now it's good to cook all the rice for the pigs..."

Ye Yaodong listened to her mother's nagging talk. Someone passed by and said hello to her. She immediately changed her smile and said hello to them as well.

The corner of his mouth twitched, "I know, I'll save the seaweed for you to feed the pigs tomorrow."

"Well, that's right. It also saves me having to go up the mountain to collect pigweed. Forget about those smelly fish and rotten shrimps. You have to keep the seaweed. My waist..."

"It would be great if they had so many people working like you, and it would save me the trouble. I don't need to worry about getting out of the pig pen, and I need to help raise the pigs. When they are out of the pig pen, the pigs will be theirs, and they don't know about me.

How many kilograms of meat can I eat..."

"Forget it, stop talking. I'm just going to read a few words to you. Don't say it out loud, or you'll scold me and I have to go back to feed the pigs."

As Ye Mu said that, she walked to the corner and picked up two large baskets of seaweed, which were full to the brim.

Only when Ye Yaodong looked at it did he realize that his mother had already cut off half of the pieces from other people's hands and piled them up in the corner, ready to take them back.

Lin Xiuqing came over and said, "Mom has just told me that the two sisters-in-law haven't come back yet, and she has to go feed them again in the evening. A few workers in front pushed a cart full of seaweed.

When I came back, she left half of it alone."

"Are they following other people's boats?"

"It's just the two boats they rented out. If they want to go pick squid with them, who can stop them?"

"Okay, I understand, I'll leave it for her tomorrow."

If his mother wants it, no matter what he can do, he has to keep half of it back to feed his mother's pigs tomorrow.

"Oh, I forgot to tell her. I brought back three large buckets of squid eggs today, and I forgot to tell her to marinate them."

"Tell her again after she has finished feeding the pigs and comes over to eat."

"Um."

"You go back and wash up first. If you are hungry, eat first. The food will be hot in the pot.

"Um."

His father didn't come back today, but his prediction was correct. He would come back at noon the next day. He didn't know about it until he saw the Dongsheng when he came back in the evening.

When he docked, his father was already waiting at the dock to help him.

He also told him about the situation of going to sea in the past few days, and that the money from the sale had been given to Ah Qing.

And under his father's curious eyes, he explained to him the cargo on the ship, the cages, and the situation during the flood season.

He also told his father that he would take all the workers to the sea tomorrow to launch and salvage the underground cage.
