Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

Chapter 112: Three Swordfish

Views:

The waves during the typhoon were merciless, constantly hitting their ship, but fortunately they were still able to bear it and the waves could not hit the deck.

Along the way they didn't see any ships still risking their lives to operate, they were all heading for the safe harbor, these two are really crazy!

"It's okay, it's just a small scene. The typhoon will last for several days. Young people should be hardworking! Three parts are determined by fate, and seven parts depend on hard work~" As he said this, A Guang sang a song in Minnan dialect...

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "You are the only son, the only son in three generations, and you are not married yet, so you should take it easy..."

"Don't worry, after I finish this job, I can save some money so that I can marry my beloved girl!"

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened instantly, "You wish!"

"Dongzi, we are brothers, you don't want to see me being single forever, right? You should worry about your brother's worries and help him when it's time. Your son can already help with soy sauce, but I haven't even touched a girl's hand, don't you feel sorry for your brother?"

"Go to hell. If you keep talking, I'll throw you into the sea as bait."

A Guang immediately shut up. He had to know the situation, right

He stopped the boat when it reached the place where he often worked recently. "Okay, let's do it here. Let's throw a net and try it out."

Ye Yaodong looked around at the surrounding coastline. On the sea, there was water on all sides, and everything around seemed to be the same. However, if one often worked in the same place, he would definitely be familiar with the shapes of the surrounding mountains, rivers and islands. However, this place was not familiar to him.

"Do you usually work here?"

"We will go out a little further. We should be safe and not go too far because of the typhoon."

"Then let's put out a net to test the waters. If there isn't much, we'll move to another place."

"Um."

With the previous experience as a lesson, they are now very careful when setting nets at sea, for fear that their feet will be caught and they will fall overboard.

The net was slowly lowered, and A Guang suddenly said, "Dongzi, how about you take the first net? You'll have better luck."

"You should come. I've had bad luck recently. I opened several conches but didn't get any pearls. But my second sister-in-law got one, and my eldest brother even got a grouper. I feel like my luck has run out."

"Isn't it normal that nothing came out? You think you can get pearls out of a few conches? Are you dreaming? Your second sister-in-law might have been lucky, but I heard she didn't have that kind of luck. She cut the scar herself with a knife, and the whole village heard about it."

"Oh, you don't understand!"

He really felt that he missed that grouper!

"Forget it, let me take care of this one first. Let me be the first one to explode!"

Ye Yaodong propped his chin up and replied in a bored tone, then asked, "When is Ah Zheng's wedding? The wedding candies haven't been distributed yet, and we still have to carry the sedan chair when the time comes."

"After you move, I heard that on the 28th day of the lunar calendar, you'll have a wedding wine party the night before, and the wedding candies and invitations should be sent out in two days. I'm so jealous of you, you're so fast."

"Hehe, then ask your aunt to introduce you to someone. If you like each other, you can get married in three days, which is faster than him."

"No, how can a man be so quick? Good things take time! How can marriage be so casual?"

"Why not? My wife and I have been married for ten days since we met!"

"It's a rare opportunity to meet a blind person, so shouldn't we marry him right away?"

Ye Yaodong glared at him fiercely, "How can you talk like that? Who are you insulting?"

"Oh, yes. You must have found a treasure. You must take it home quickly."

Going out to sea with friends is much better than going out to sea with their own fathers. At least there is someone to talk to and it won't be boring.

Seeing that the time was about right, Ah Guang slowed down the fishing boat and Ye Yaodong went to reel in the towing line one by one. When he reeled in the net board, he fixed the net board on the net board frame to separate it from the towing line, and then continued to reel in the net.

A Guang also went to help, and the two of them worked together to slowly drag the net from the tail chute to the deck.

"This net is so light? It's a little easy to pull."

"Indeed, it feels like there are only about 30 or 40 kilograms. I guess there is nothing there. Could it be that the goods in this sea area happened to be swept away to other places?"

"Pull it up first."

"Fuck! It has a parrot fish head, a zebra fish body, and a sika deer fish tail. It's a three-knife fish!"

Ye Yaodong recognized this special net of fish at a glance.

The appearance of the three-knife fish is very beautiful, with nine orange-yellow oblique bands on its body. All the fins are orange-yellow. There is a blue longitudinal band parallel to the base of the dorsal fin, and there are white spots scattered on the caudal peduncle and caudal fin.

In Hong Kong, it is called "Fish King", commonly known as "Three Cuts" or "Mountain Cut". The name "Three Cuts" comes from the fact that the fish body is thick and difficult to steam, so fishermen will cut the fish body three times before steaming to allow it to be heated evenly.

Ah Guang's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Fuck, a whole net of three-knife fish. No wonder they are so light. I'm going to make a fortune!"

The net was not very heavy, and the two of them pulled it up in no time. They could not wait to untie the net. The deck was full of razorfish, and the two of them kept flipping it over excitedly.

"There are so many, and they are so beautiful. This is the king of fish. I made the right decision to come out today..."

"It would be more valuable if sold to Guangdong and Hong Kong."

Ah Guang asked with a puzzled smile: "How do you know that Guangdong and Hong Kong are more valuable?"

"There are a lot of rich people in Guangdong and Hong Kong, hahaha~"

"That's true!"

"There are still a few sea chickens. Pick them separately. Sea chickens are cheap."

"You pick it up. I feel like my luck has exploded since I changed my name. When I go out to sea with my dad, I catch a net every day."

A Guang was full of enthusiasm and hurried to start the boat and cast the net. They came out late today and time was tight.

When the second net was pulled up, there were only swimming crabs and miscellaneous fish, but the number was considerable, and the two were a little happy.

Seeing that the waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger and the boat was shaking violently, the two decided to drag one last net and then go back.

"Let me try the last net. We'll go back after we finish hauling it. There weren't such big waves this morning. It feels like the typhoon is approaching again."

A Guang had no objection. After handing the boat to Ye Yaodong, he went to tie the crab legs.

Ye Yaodong was quite skilled in trawling, but the waves were too big. In the one hour he was sailing, the waves had hit the deck several times, and from time to time, waves half a person's height would appear around him.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt like a golden dragon flashed across the sky. At the same time, a wave rose more than ten meters high not far away, which scared Ye Yaodong so much that his heart skipped a beat.

The two men's eyes met, and after looking at each other, Guang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "It's quite spectacular."

“But it’s a bit scary…”

"Let's go back?"

"good!"

But humans cannot withstand the power of nature!

It was already risky to go out today, and after half a day, the risk factor felt like it had doubled. Seeing the waves, the two of them evacuated decisively.

"I'll start fishing later. I'm going to leave this area first. Give me the compass."

Having already made money today, it is not advisable to take any more risks. Ye Yaodong identified the direction based on the compass and sped back.

As the huge wave spread, the boat shook more and more violently. The waves behind them kept hitting the deck, and it seemed to be getting more and more intense. Both of them felt a sense of urgency.

A Guang was no longer in the mood to tie crab legs. His eyes were fixed on the sea level. Only then did he realize that he had been too impulsive and too whimsical this time.

The natural landscape is both magnificent and dangerous!
