"Can you give it to me? Take it home and feed it to the chickens, ducks and pigs."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him doubtfully, "It stinks. Chickens and ducks must dislike it."

"Dry it in the sun, mash it, and mix it into rice bran. Looking at the amount at the bottom, it would be a pity to dump it all back into the sea. It doesn't take much effort to pull it back anyway. I can do it myself."

"Okay, then you have to get a basket to put it in yourself."

"Thank you, Brother Dong. Hey, take it back and give it to my wife to toss around slowly. It just so happens that we hatched some more chicks and ducklings this year."

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "It's quite manageable."

"As the family grows, we have to find ways to make life easier. The most valuable thing we have is our strength. It doesn't matter if we put in more effort."

"That too."

He sighed in his heart, there are more people who are down-to-earth and willing to work.

The two of them divided the work and cooperated. Ye Yaodong rowed the pile of goods, picked out the fresh ones, and pushed aside the stale ones for Chen Guodong to put into the basket.

In a pile of goods, only about 20% are fresh, 10% are barely okay, and the other 70% are stale or smelly.

Ye Yaodong picked up everything that had been returned. This part was barely enough to be pickled and eaten as salted fish. It was not a problem. Of course, you can cook fresh ones in any way.

It was not that fast to pick up four to five hundred kilograms of goods. Before they could finish picking up, there was a splash in the water, and two heads emerged from the water one after another.

They quickly put down what they were doing and went to help pull the people up. They also took the lines from their hands and started to close the net.

"There are...4...4 nets."

"There are 4 nets, and it looks like this under the water. It's amazing. There are so many abalones, and there are so many small green dragons hiding in the gaps. It's so spectacular, so amazing, so many fish, and one of them was stupid enough to hit me.

In my arms..."

"I'll just tell you, right? You'll be shocked when you see it. I don't know what it's like. There are a lot of rare things. It's amazing..."

As soon as they came up, the two novices were amazed, chattering with each other about what they saw and heard, and had greater expectations for the underwater situation.

Ye Yaodong said: "If you want to go to the bottom, there are many opportunities. You should first get familiar with it on the upper level and collect all the ground cages around the reef. Then I will go to the bottom for you. There will be a new continent for you to see."

"What else can there be besides little green dragons and abalone and blue crabs, Brother Dong?"

"You will know in a few days when it reaches the end."

"Brother Dong, do you know who threw the floor cage down? Does anyone else know about this place? That's why they threw the floor cage down and prepared to replenish the goods?"

"I know, I led them here last year, those two fools."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips toward the sesame-sized fishing boat on the sea in the distance, motioning for them to look over, "It's right there."

"So they also placed the branches around the island? I asked, why didn't people come over and cause trouble when we came so late to occupy the land?"

"How dare they? Beat them to death. Originally, this geomantic treasure was mine, I just shared it with them. Stop talking nonsense. The fishing nets have been collected. Pull them out quickly."

"Okay, we're done. Pull us up quickly."

The four net ports that have been collected are also full of goods. Due to the inertia of pulling up, the fish products have fallen to the bottom of the fish collection bag, which is still full, and the upper mesh is still full of various fish and shrimps.

Every one of them showed the joy of harvest, and they all felt that their work was not in vain. When everything was poured out, there were more fish than the ones just before, and the deck was piled up like a hill.

"Too many..."

"It would be great if all these goods were fresh, then we would make a fortune..."

"It's pretty good too..."

Ye Yaodong reached out and caught a big blue crab that was running away sideways. He smiled and saw that it only had one big leg left. He turned it over and looked at its belly. It was a male.

The fattest crabs are after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This one with one leg cannot be sold for much money, so I can just keep it and replenish it for my children.

He threw the crab alone into the basket and found that there was another crab beside his feet, and it had both big feet, and it was holding his rain boots with its big pliers.

He quickly grabbed it, but fortunately he found it in time. He only touched his feet and did not move forward. A few steps forward would be his crotch.

The claws of the big crab are so powerful that they can break even your fingers.

"You pick them up, keep the fresh ones, put the stale ones in separate baskets, and Guodong will keep them to be dried and crushed to feed the chickens and ducks."

"What a great idea! It would be wasted if you throw it into the sea."

"Can, can, can, please give some points..."

Chen Guodong nodded, "Okay, the quantity is so large. If you want it too, then we can divide it equally."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and reminded them, "These are already bad, some are rotten, and there may be germs and viruses. Take them back and boil them in a big pot before drying them. It will be better if you sterilize them and then dry them."

"Sterilization?"

"Just do as I say."

"Okay, then take it back and cook it before drying it."

"You pick and choose. Guodong goes down with me. Before it's afternoon, go down a few more times and catch a few more. There will probably be some scattered squid in the afternoon. Take a look in the water then.

If it’s too much, we’ll collect it; if it’s too little, we’ll wait until tomorrow.”

The eyes of the three people were bright. They had never seen how the squid attached its eggs to the branches.

"Great! I really learned a lot today!"

"So I still have to follow Brother Dong. I can't imagine how lucky those people are to go to sea with Brother Dong every day."

"Yes, those people who went overseas last year even got a commendation and a reward of 500 yuan. I'm so jealous. When will it be my turn."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Isn't it your turn now? Don't just think about glory and increased knowledge. The risks at sea are unimaginable. If you can make money safely on land, it's better not to take risks."

While Chen Shi and the others were in the water just now, Ye Yaodong took a break while sorting fish. His body was wet and cold, and the wind made it even colder.

He was thinking that he would bring a ragged blanket over tomorrow so that he could wrap it up in his free time.

The two warmed up again, put on their diving equipment one by one, and then jumped into the water.

Although there are many ground cages hanging from the bottom, they are collected in a series, not just one by one, and the efficiency will be higher.

After Ye Yaodong went down, he and Chen Guodong found the place closest to them, and then the two of them carefully swam around the reef and unhooked the hooked ground cage.

He also saw Chen Guodong reaching for the big abalone on the reef, but he couldn't pull it off after a long time.

Then, unwilling to give up, he reached out to the smaller abalone on the side, but returned with no success.

At this time, he also remembered that he had forgotten to tell them, asking them not to rush to seize the abalone.

If you pick the abalone with your fingers like this, you definitely won't be able to get it off. What's more, there is water pressure in the water, so you can't use as much force as you do on the shore.

The suction power of abalone is also very strong. Once you are alert, even if you smash the shell, you will not be able to remove it. However, you can take advantage of it and use a shovel to remove it. The speed must be fast, otherwise it will definitely not work.

He swam towards Chen Guodong and gestured with the fishing net with his hand, signaling him to get down to business first.

There are so many abalones on the reef. It is normal for everyone not to be tempted and want to pick them up immediately.

But now is not the time for this, and they don't have the tools at hand.

Chen Guodong looked at his gestures and went to get the floor cage first. He felt very regretful, but he had to wait until he got there.

This time, it was a bit difficult to collect these ground cages. They untied a large number of them on the reef, thinking that they were all out of the reef and could go up.

Unexpectedly, I got on the boat and asked the machine to collect the net, but it got stuck halfway through. Then the machine kept running, moved again, and then got stuck again.

Ye Yaodong was confused for a moment and paused first.

I was originally teaching them how to pick abalone.

Under the clear water, you can still vaguely see the shadow of the ground cage, which is about to emerge from the water.

"What's going on, Brother Dong?"

"The only explanation may be that it's hooked somewhere, so it can't be retracted. Go down and have a look. If it's hooked, cut the connecting wire between the two floor cages and pull up the one that can be retracted first.

"

"good."

They waited on the shore for a while and saw signs of looseness. Then they tried to pull it manually, and the cage emerged from the water.

"Ah, coming up."

Everyone stretched out their hands to help, and then they struggled to pull the ground cage to the edge of the ship. Then they worked together to pick up the first one and threw it on the deck.

Ye Yaodong first went to unpack the fish bags and pour out the goods, while the remaining two people continued to pull the rope to collect the cage.

At the same time, a head emerged from the water, and everyone pulled him up first.

"Brother Dong, there are so many ground cages in a series, like a long dragon. When I went down, some of the ground cages were still hanging on the reef, the net mouths were scratched, and a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs fell out of the nets.

It floated out and was swallowed by a very big fish, which shocked me. Fortunately, it was not as big as me, otherwise I would have been worried that it would eat me."

"What kind of fish?"

"I don't know him. Anyway, he looks a little younger than me."

"I knew it earlier, I, I, I will go."

"Go to your head, you can't even say anything, so you go ahead. How do you report it when you go up? Dongdongdongdongdong, brother, me, me, me..."
