Chapter 1173 Go back(1/3)
Several mackerel hit the deck, but everyone didn't react in time, and half of them were carried back by the sea water.
"Stop it..."
"Being brought back to the sea by the sea again..."
"Knock it to death first, then put it away."
Father Ye kept poking his hands excitedly, "Sckers are good, they are also valuable, and they are not as big or dangerous as eels."
A few of them just came up, and everyone was able to deal with them quickly, but it was a pity that they were taken back halfway to the sea.
There is no way, the bow of their boat is facing the island, and the stern of the boat is facing the sea. Because the stern of the boat is flat, it is easier to launch the net, and the waves can easily come up. In the past few days, fish have also been caught. Of course, it is also easy to be caught by the waves.
Take it back to the sea.
Ye Yaodong asked everyone to pack up the big mackerel and asked them to continue waiting slowly on the deck.
"It doesn't look like there were all eels last night. Everyone was very tired in the early morning and slept there during the day. No one was there to watch. I don't know what it was like during the day. Let's take a look later."
"Anyway, everyone has had enough sleep during the day. Just wait and see and collect as much as you can."
"Let's get some hand-made nets. If a surge comes, it's easier to block it with a net. It's difficult to block it with a stick."
"Then two people hold handwritten websites on both sides of the aisle. Be careful not to bring you in because the shaking of the fishing boat fails to bring the fish back to the sea."
"OK."
Everyone was wandering around on the deck a little bored again. Whenever a relatively big wave came up, everyone looked at it expectantly.
However, the fish caught were sometimes more, sometimes less, and sometimes none at all, so everyone rested intermittently.
I gained a lot until dawn, and it was very relaxing. It was more relaxed than the night before, and I didn't need to work so hard to kill myself.
When everyone was free, they also counted the number of baskets. Ye Yaodong also estimated that he would get about 200 pieces in one night, which would weigh about 5,000 or 6,000 kilograms, and could probably be sold for about 2,000 yuan.
After tasting the benefits again, he also left two people to work in shifts during the day, one to watch the morning and the other to watch the afternoon.
However, there was no harvest during the day today. This was already the third day they had docked at the island.
It's all a matter of luck, so if you don't encounter it, there's nothing to say.
At night, they found that the waves were not that big. They were all gearing up to catch another wave tonight, but in the end they didn't see anything.
Standing at the stern of the boat and taking a look, you can indeed see fish in the water rising and falling with the waves, but most of them were not caught up. Occasionally, some fish hit the back deck and slipped into the sea again.
They only saw it a few times, made preparations, and had quick eyesight and quick hands to intercept a few of them.
There were only twenty or thirty items in one night. Fortunately, they were idle, which was better than nothing.
"It seems that the impact of the typhoon has been reduced, and the waves are not that big."
"I've seen the sea full of fish all night, but even if they haven't been caught, they can't be reached."
"Forget it, don't be too greedy. You can gain a lot from temporarily docking on the island these days, which is already good. Originally, we only planned to take shelter from the wind, so these are unexpected gains."
"So now, the waves seem to be smaller than the day before, and the waves are no longer as high as anyone."
Although it's not as tall as a human being, it's still over one meter tall, so it's still pretty big.
Ye Yaodong discussed it with his father.
"Everyone has been busy all night. We will have a meal and go to sleep later. We will wake up early in the afternoon and take a look. If the waves become smaller during the day, we will sail back immediately. The waves are still quite big at the bottom.
of."
"Okay, let's wait until we get up from sleep. Anyway, it will only take about three hours to sail back. If it is affected by wind and waves, we can go slower and drive back for an hour or two at most."
"Then let's all go and rest first."
It was confirmed that the wind and waves had subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had also stayed on the island for three days and three nights. Although there was work to do and no one to wait there, everyone felt like returning home.
I never feel at ease at home when I'm outside.
Ye Yaodong woke up at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He felt that the waves were slightly smaller, there was no rain, and the sky was much brighter than in the morning.
He went to call his father to discuss it again, but he was thinking of going back immediately. If he didn't go back, the goods in the fish warehouse would be ruined. In the afternoon, he saw that the waves were a little smaller, but three days had passed.
After the discussion was completed, he went to sail the boat and asked his father to tell the others.
As for this island, they didn't even think about going up there. After all, it had just rained and the rocks were very slippery. This stop was a blessing in disguise and they gained a lot.
The fishing boat had been docked in the col and did not feel much wind. However, when it drove out, it felt that the wind and waves were not small. During the trip, the waves on the bow of the boat kept rolling and poured into the deck from time to time.
Originally, the raised part of the bow was more than two meters above the ground, and the churning waves were much higher than the bow.
At this time, it feels like riding the wind and waves.
Along the way, the waves were extremely rough, and the fishing boat was swaying all the time. No one could stand on the deck, and everyone had to pull up their beds in the cabin, otherwise they would be thrown around.
But everyone can only stay in the cabin and stabilize their bodies, otherwise, if they go out, they will be thrown to the stern of the boat and fall into the sea.
The father and son also underestimated the waves, and the waves brought up by the fishing boat were even greater.
Father Ye worriedly wanted to go out and climb onto the helm tower several times during the trip, but he was persuaded by the rocking fishing boat and could only keep looking outside worriedly.
Fortunately, after driving for more than four thrilling hours, we could see the city's pier in the distance.
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing the shore.
After the fishing boats docked, it was completely dark. There were rows of large and small fishing boats all around the dock. The boats that had probably gone out had probably gone back. Unlucky guys like them didn't know if they were at sea.
The shore was quiet at this time, not to mention cars, there were no people, and there were not even a few lights nearby.
"We finally docked, but what to do with our goods? There are no cars on the shore. With this weather, all the drivers will have gone home early."
"There doesn't seem to be any wind on this shore, and the ground doesn't seem to be wet."
"It was also a typhoon day. Didn't you see that all the fishing boats came back? I guess they thought there was no business and they all went home."
Ye Yaodong said: "You guys wait on the boat first, I'll walk to the market and see if there's anyone nearby who can get a taxi."
"Ask someone to go with you. It's not safe to walk alone on the road."
"Okay, let's cook something to eat on the boat first. There are waves all the way ahead, and people can't stand still. I don't know how long we will be delayed."
Father Ye nodded.
Ye Yaodong took Chen Shi off the boat first and headed to the market with a flashlight all the way.
Not only did it not look wet on the pier, they didn't feel wet when walking on the road. There was no mud on the country roads. It seemed that it hadn't rained at least in the past two days.
As expected, only the sea was affected, and the shore was not affected much.
It was quite a long walk. They landed ashore at around 7 o'clock, and it was already 11 o'clock when they reached the market. The market was open at night, and there were many tractors at the door. They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The market is operating as usual, as long as there is a tractor at the door. I just call a tractor to pull the goods, and when I come back to the market, it is just right to sell.
After successfully solving the problem, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.
Ye Yaodong left his father and another person on the boat to watch the isinglass and the injured Aqiang, while the other three followed him to carry the goods to the market to sell.
It wasn't until 9 a.m. the next day that he came out of the market with money to find his father-in-law.
When Father Lin saw him, he immediately exclaimed, "Oh, why are you here? Ah Qing was worried to death. He called me two days ago to ask if you had been to the city. There was a typhoon in the past two days, and I heard that fishing boats
Are you coming back now that everyone is back? Were you affected at sea?"
"We drove to the island in time and stopped. The impact was not big. We also got some unexpected gains. Nothing happened. We just sold out the goods in the market. I called her first to report that she was safe."
He had just finished selling the goods, thinking that it was already eight or nine o'clock and there were people in the village committee, so he immediately called back to report that everything was safe. Ah Qing on the phone was very excited.
"As long as everything is fine, there has been no news in the past few days, and there is another typhoon at sea. Although there is no impact on the shore, who can say for sure what happens at sea? Your family is worried to death."
Ye Yaodong nodded and exchanged a few pleasantries, and Father Lin handed him the sales volume during this period.
"The boat is still parked at the pier, right? Is the wave big? If it is big, stay in the city for one more day? Go back tomorrow? Or let Xiangyang drive a tractor to take you back?"
"Ah? My second brother-in-law drives a tractor?"
Lin's father said with a smile: "He learned to drive a tractor from someone a few months ago, and he took the time to learn how to repair it. A few days ago, I asked him to buy a tractor and drive it in the city to haul goods. After all, the market
There are quite a few tractors pulling goods outside the door, and I think they can make quite a lot of money."
"Well, that's a good thing. If the store needs delivery, let him go directly. The money won't go to other people's fields."
"Haha, he is not familiar with the roads in the city, so he has to pick up goods and run around a lot."
"Anyway, it will be good once you get used to it. This is better than farming at home. By the way, what about the mountains, forests and land at home?"
"Many fruits are almost ripe and don't need to be taken care of. His wife is still at home. When they are ripe, just notify him to go back and pick them. You can also bring them here to sell them. This year's fruits are all ours.
Then next year, I’ll rent it to your third uncle to take care of it, so that it won’t be wasted.”
Ye Yaodong nodded, he was the younger brother who rented it to Father Lin.
"It's good. When the situation stabilizes, the children will be able to study in the city, and the education will be better."
"Yes, we poor families have to rely on education to make a living."
"Since my second uncle has a tractor, I'll ask him to send me to the dock. It's more worry-free if my family does it. There's another person bitten by a fish on my boat. I'll have to ask him to be sent to the hospital first."
.”
Ye Yaodong just thought for a moment that it would be quite dangerous to ride the wind and waves when coming here, so he might as well take it easy first and go back tomorrow.
