Ye Yaodong took turns teaching them how to wear the equipment, how to swim and how to swing, and also talked about some precautions.
Tell them not to touch anything they see out of curiosity, especially things they don’t recognize, and remind them not to go to the bottom first.
Just in case, he went into the water and dived with them for a short distance, about 4-5 meters. Seeing that they were doing it with ease, he surfaced.
We are all young people, there is nothing we cannot understand, we have a strong ability to accept things and we should know the ins and outs of this matter.
It was the first time for both of them to go in the water, and they were very excited. They didn’t want to come out until the time was almost up.
Ah Zheng actually grabbed a sea cucumber with one hand and floated up. When he emerged from the water, he excitedly raised his hands above his head and waved them.
"Look, what did I catch?"
Ye Yaodong disagreed, knowing that this guy was not so well-behaved.
Xiao Xiao was surprised and jumped up and down, "You fucking dived to the bottom of the sea? Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have been so obedient. Dongzi, I'll go in the water again..."
"Take a break. It's best not to go into the water too hard. It's not good for your eardrums."
"It's okay. I didn't go more than ten meters deep just now, so it should be fine. Do you have a cargo net or something that can hold things underwater? When I get more treasures, we can split them in half."
"Yes, yes, yes, you'd better bring tools to pry abalone. Damn it, I just saw a lot of them on the reefs on the seabed, but I don't have any tools to dig them out. I'm so angry."
Ah Zheng was heartbroken. He had just seen so many abalones but had no tools to dig them out. He tried to dig them out with his hands for a long time but failed. He also couldn't get the small green dragon out of the cracks in the rocks. He was very angry. Fortunately, he found two sea cucumbers while walking around.
Xiaoxiao became even more excited when he heard this, and slapped his thigh, regretting not going down to the bottom.
"I'll go, I'll go, let me go down and take a look."
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Okay, if you want to go down, then go down and take a look. Be careful. If you feel something is wrong or uncomfortable, come up immediately."
"I know."
Xiaoxiao dived down again with the net bag, and the three people on the sea waited patiently.
Fortunately, they were relatively free at this moment, and if they saw any scattered squids swimming around, they could just catch them.
After Ah Zheng went into the water and caught two sea cucumbers, he became extremely interested.
"Dongzi, where did you buy this equipment? Can you tell me?"
"This is not easy to get. You may not be able to buy it even if you have money. You'd better forget about it. If you come across it occasionally and want to try it out, I can still lend it to you."
"Well, let's talk about it later. I don't have any money now."
"Work hard. It's only been half a year, and you'll be able to pay back the money you owe me. Then all the money you earn from now on will be yours. Take your time, and you'll get rich."
"I haven't paid it back yet... Hey? You paid it back? Oh... I paid it back... I paid it back... Then remember to give me the IOU tomorrow."
"Huh? Damn, you want to blame me, right? I broke your third leg."
Ah Zheng said with a chuckle, "Didn't you say that I could pay you back in half a year? Hurry up and return the IOU to me when you get back."
"Okay, give me 600 in interest."
"Fuck, where's the loan shark?"
"Nine out and thirteen back, find out, there is also interest compounding."
"Go to hell, I'll give you a fart."
The two of them were chatting and joking around, and it wasn't boring. Father Ye was tidying up the ground trap nets and was also busy. It was rare that he wasn't in a hurry.
This time Xiaoxiao returned to the surface of the water feeling contented.
"Fuck, there are really a lot of abalone down there. I suddenly understand why you have these every day. Fortunately, it was mostly dark when you docked before."
"Come up first."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy when he saw the whole net bag on his waist was full of abalone. "You dug all the abalone? This net bag is not light. You can put it on the seabed and wait for people to come up before pulling up the rope."
"Oh, yes, you have experience. Let's do it this way next time. There is a small blue dragon and a sea cucumber underneath. It's a bit difficult to find them, and it wastes time. It's faster to dig abalone. They are stuck to the rocks. Just pry them out with a few clicks." Xiaoxiao smiled excitedly.
"You're up, now it's my turn..."
Ye Yaodong grabbed him and said, "Take a rest, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course I'm anxious. I didn't bring anything with me when I went down before, and I missed so much cargo. No, I have to go down again and dig some more."
"The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is very harmful to the eardrums and also consumes a lot of energy. Take it easy."
Although he also wanted to find some helpers, he had to remind them that there was no hyperbaric oxygen therapy available now.
"Don't worry. We've only been in the water a few times. It's only about ten meters deep. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's consider this after we've been in the water for a few years."
They had just experienced the joy of diving and the happiness of harvest, and were in high spirits. They happened to have some free time, so they had to go into the water a few more times.
After saying that, Ah Zheng quickly put on his equipment and jumped into the water.
Father Ye frowned and shouted, "It's fine if you want to go fishing, but you have to pay attention to safety."
Xiao Xiao would think more comprehensively and carefully. Looking at the goods just poured out of the net bag, he was happy but also thought about it.
"Dongzi, we have to settle accounts with our brothers. Small favors and small goods are fine, but this abalone is not. It is not cheap and can be sold for a lot of money. We can't just dig it up and keep it for ourselves. This equipment is yours. You were the first to discover the goods under the reef, and you have to wait here..."
"It's okay, we are all brothers who grew up wearing the same pants..." Ye Yaodong said politely.
Although we are friends, we still joke around and play around, but we still have to say polite words.
"That being said, if you only go in the water once or twice, I won't be polite to you. Well, I was a little greedy. I was thinking that you are alone and can't go in the water many times a day."
"Like you said, the pressure at the bottom of the sea is very harmful to the eardrum, so we can't go into the sea too many times a day. But it's different when multiple people take turns going into the water. We can definitely get much more than one person alone."
Ye Yaodong nodded in appreciation. He just liked friends who could play together but also had their limits and were sober.
"I understand what you mean."
Seeing that he didn't refute, Xiao Xiao said happily: "As long as you don't object to us having a share."
"I'm so happy to have two more workers to work for me!"
"Tsk, to put it nicely, we are partners."
"Yes, yes, that's what Boss Lin said."
"When Zheng comes up later, I'll go down again and we'll divide the goods at the end."
"Well, you don't have to give me half, give me one third, one for each of the three of us. I'll provide the equipment and you guys will provide the labor."
Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised. "Really? Boss Ye is so generous? Then I won't be polite."
"Boss Lin is being modest. Why do you still call yourself a younger brother?"
"Hey, if you follow Brother Dong, you can eat meat..."
"No, no, no... We are just trying to make ends meet, we are all family..."
Father Ye listened to their nonsense bragging, such as Boss Lin, Boss Ye, and Brother Dong's younger brother... The corners of his mouth twitched and he kept rolling his eyes. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise his face would have turned red with embarrassment.
So shameless.
They also flatter each other.
No wonder they can become friends. They are great at praising each other and are really thick-skinned. Anyone would be driven crazy by their words.
