There was flashlight light everywhere on the island, and everyone was awake, probably just finishing packing their things.

Awnings were erected everywhere, making it a temporary camp.

However, they still had to sleep on the boat at night, where they were only suitable for cooking pots and killing jellyfish.

He was afraid that while he was lying on the beach in a daze, a crab would claw him, or there would be some unknown object.

It is more peaceful to sleep on the boat, and the fishing boat is rocking like a cradle, which makes it easier to sleep.

We are very tired today. Many people did not sleep much the night before, and then they took a boat ride for a whole day and were busy until midnight. Everyone was very tired.

After hearing Lin Jingye say that he had called back to report that he was safe, everyone felt relieved and planned to go back to their respective boats to sleep.

It is indeed very late. It will be dawn in 4 hours. Tomorrow may still be a day of working hard to make money.

When Lin Jingye got off the boat and talked to everyone, Ye Yaodong was also making his bed for the night on the boat. His mat had already been slept on by the dead man, so he could only rub the boatman's mat.

They spread their mats in a row, and everyone slept in a row, barely sharing a seat. His father and the boatmen also boarded the boat again.

Because there was no work, everyone spent the whole day on the fishing boat blowing the sea breeze without sweating. Fresh water resources are also in short supply. No one took a shower tonight.

Ye Yaodong smelled the smell of sweat and body odor next to him, so he could only turn over and face away. Fortunately, he was sleeping on the far side.

The tip of his nose was now filled with the smell of the sea. He closed his eyes and let his body sway with the rocking of the ship. He listened to the sound of the waves mixed with the one after another snoring. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until the sun burst out the first ray of color on the horizon that he was kicked awake by his father, and there was constant noise and talking around him.

There was no need to sleep. Looking at the ray of red light on the horizon, he sat up with his big panda eyes.

However, when he heard clearly what his father said and the chatter in his ears, he woke up instantly and immediately stood up and looked towards the sea.

"What are you looking at? Come down and work quickly. Hurry up. Each person takes a hand net and goes into the water to fish it out. The sun has just risen and it's not hot yet. Fish out these floating jellyfish on the sea and kill them first.

." Father Ye's voice was full of joy when he spoke.

"Yeah, here we come."

I don’t know when there were a bunch of jellyfish floating on the sea. Under the refraction of the morning sun, the colorful colors were even more eye-catching, and each one was transparent and beautiful.

At this time, many people were already wearing only shorts and wading into the water to fish. Everyone's faces were full of joy. It was really worth it. As soon as they opened their eyes, they picked up money.

"There are so many, so many..."

"When I opened my eyes and saw it, I was almost shocked. There were all around the boat..."

"Haha, I've seen so many jellyfish since we came together, hurry up and catch them..."

"Hurry up and get it, hurry up and get it, these are money..."

"Hurry up and get more, don't just talk..."

Ye Yaodong was urged by his father and hurriedly wore only shorts and a vest, so he picked up the hand net and climbed out of the boat to fish.

The preparation work last night was not in vain, it came in handy early this morning.

Everyone is very greedy, and they all pick big ones when it comes to netting. In fact, they have no experience. The bigger the jellyfish, the greater the effort. On the contrary, it is more efficient to drag the medium-sized jellyfish up to 40 to 50 kilograms.

It is faster to drag two people weighing 40 or 50 pounds in a row than one person weighing 70 or 80 pounds.

Early in the morning, everyone was sweating profusely and dragging jellyfish back and forth on the shore, with joyful smiles on their faces.

No one expected that when they first opened their eyes early in the morning, they would see a large number of jellyfish floating near the fishing boat, all washing towards the shore with the rising tide.

Ye Yaodong was wearing a vest and large pants. After catching a large sting in their temporary camp, he stood and rested for a while. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, thinking that he had come to the right place again to catch up.

.

The beach at your feet is covered with nylon plastic film. After dragging the jellyfish up, it is very convenient to slaughter them on the spot without being stained with a pile of sediment.

At this time, no one cares about slaughtering, they all want to catch as much as possible while there are still a lot of fish on the sea. After all, there are so many fishing boats here and everyone is a competitor. If you net more, I can't tell you.

There are fewer people online.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the jellyfish floating near the fishing boat were divided up by them in a short time. Hundreds of people were very efficient.

There are also scattered jellyfish floating on the sea a little further away, washing and swaying as the sea water rises.

Ye Yaodong asked his cousins ​​and Brother Asheng to stay where they were butchering. The father and son drove two boats out to fish. After all, the three of them had slaughtered a large amount last year, so they had the most experience and the highest efficiency.

In fact, we didn't drive very far, it was just near the island, but the others were no longer on the shore, and they weren't gathered together.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and two people from each boat were left to slaughter on the beach, while the rest of the people followed the boat and went out to catch fish.

An idea popped into everyone's mind, and it was so right!

In the middle of the morning, they surrounded the island, constantly searching the nearby sea, and then fished them out one by one. For the big ones, two people worked together, and for the small ones, one person used bamboo poles with hooks or hand-made nets.

While they were busy, the sun gradually climbed up from the horizon, getting bigger and higher, and the temperature rose faster and faster, but everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish.

Until the fishing boats were piled with jellyfish, and their boats were all around the island in all directions, and it was difficult to find any at close range, Ye Yaodong saw that it was already 8 o'clock, and after working for 3 hours, he decisively docked and went back.

.

What they caught on the boat was cut up as they were being picked up, but there was still a small half that had not been cut yet. This was okay, and they could continue to cut it up later on the way to be sold.

They had to rush Chen Jianian to the town's dock and ask him to contact the processing factory to send a car to collect it. At the same time, they also had to transport the jellyfish to the town's dock and wait.

One of them docked, and the rest also docked first to unload their cargo.

"Dongzi, do we have to take these to the town first? Should we collect them and sell them in the town?"

"Yes, go directly to the town dock to sell some insurance." Ye Yaodong said while carrying it, "Hurry up, we will have a simple breakfast and send it to the town immediately, otherwise it will shrink or turn into water."

"Okay, I'll kill them all right away."

"If it's too late, we can kill them on the boat while walking."

"That's best."

The batch of jellyfish caught ashore early in the morning had already been cut up. After the cut, the three cousins ​​and Brother Asheng immediately started cooking. They came back just in time to eat them, and the jellyfish blood was also boiled and dried.

Got up.

The batch of jellyfish blood they have sent back now can continue to be cooked in the pot.

Once you have experience, you can work very efficiently. The other people who stayed on the beach watched them do it, and then they imitated it in a hurry, but the efficiency was not that high. The first pot of jellyfish blood was not even cooked.

.

As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others finished breakfast, leaving only his eldest cousin on the island looking at things, he hurriedly got on the boat again, and yelled at the others to hurry up. Those who had not been divided were asked to walk on the boat and kill them.

That's all right. Anyway, just keep the jellyfish blood and bring it back for cooking. The rest will be taken away and sold immediately.

There were so many people that you had to wait, and it was relatively slow. Father Ye got angry because of the rush, but fortunately it didn’t take long.

However, after Ye Yaodong got on the boat, he told his father: "After taking them to the town and letting them all know the route, next time... no... we won't go together in the afternoon, and let them divide themselves and go to the town by themselves."

For sale.”

"Yes, yes, this one is waiting for the next one, it's really annoying."

"Well, and when the time comes to go fishing separately, the time of return may not be certain. There is no way to wait for all the boats to come back before selling them together."

"Later, let me tell everyone after this batch is sold out. Anyway, Chen Jianian asked him to wait at the pier in the town. When our ship docked, he asked him to contact someone immediately to come and collect it. Since he wants to make money from the intermediary

For money, we have to do a good job, we can’t just worry about everything.”

"That's what I think. He is on his relative's boat. I will tell him when he gets ashore. We will ask him not to come back with us later. Let him wait on the shore next time. Let's meet in the afternoon or evening

We'll check the fishing situation and then deliver it to the town, and then it doesn't matter whether he wants to come back with us in the evening, stay in a guest house or stay with relatives and friends."

This also avoids that everyone has to go in and out together. Anyway, after knowing how to get there and how to sell, just let everyone find Chen Jianian, so as not to cause trouble to himself.

"That's it. It's troublesome to have so many people and so many people. Just let them do what they want. We've brought them to the place anyway."

"I caught so many jellyfish early this morning. It looks like there will be more jellyfish in the future. Everyone is secretly enjoying themselves."

Father Ye also had a smile on his face when he heard this, "Yes, I saw a few from time to time yesterday when it was still dark. I didn't expect so many to appear so early in the morning. It seems that I won't be afraid of running out of things to catch.

"

"I didn't have time to count just now, but there are quite a few baskets."

The baskets of jellyfish heads and skins on the boat were packed in nylon bags to prevent moisture loss. He estimated that the total weight of the boat should be about 2,000 kilograms.

It’s not a lot. Last year they had more than 4,000 kilograms in one trip last year, but it’s still a lot. These should be sold for dozens of yuan. Plus the scraped jellyfish blood, these goods this morning

, no problem selling it for a hundred bucks.

This is only the first day, it has just begun. They will search around the sea in the afternoon and they should be able to find some.

"Let's see how much we can sell it for later. Let's go back to the sea in the afternoon and see how much we can harvest. By the way, we can also take a look at the trench from last year."

"Dad, you and I thought about it together, and I also thought about that trench. There are floating things on the sea nearby, so there's no reason there aren't in the trench."

He was thinking about last year's trench all the way here yesterday, and originally thought that he would quietly sail over there to have a look today.

"Haha, I hope there are large quantities floating there too, so we can have a bumper harvest from day one."

"I don't expect it to be available in large quantities now. After all, it's not the peak season yet. I just want to avoid being discovered by other ships."

"Yeah, that's right. When this batch of goods is sold out, let's go and take a look. By the way, let others fish on their own and don't let them follow us."

After Ye Yaodong finished discussing with his father, he sat back on the small bench, resting his chin and watching them divide the remaining jellyfish.
