Ye Yaodong swam in the sea, gradually adapting to the pressure brought to him by the sea water.
Only at the very first moment when he jumped into the sea, panic overwhelmed him. Fortunately, he had greeted these bad friends in advance and prevented him from sinking.
He regained the feeling of swimming in the sea, and the fear in his heart gradually faded away. He felt more relaxed and swam towards the shore with his hands and feet paddling.
Originally they were thinking of having a competition to see who could swim to the other side first, but they were frightened by Ye Yaodong's actions. Now no one dared to stay too far away from him.
They swam slowly towards the shore, and only after their feet touched the ground did they wade towards the reef. The tide was still receding.
Ah Guang slowly drove the boat behind them. When they were almost there, he jumped into the water, tied up the boat, and shouted to Ye Yaodong, "Dongzi, what did you do just now? I was almost scared to death by you. Can't you swim?"
"I jumped too hard and my legs cramped, so I sank. It's okay, I'll be fine after I recover. Look, I'm fine."
I gained a lot from that jump, and it was a close call.
Ah Guang was speechless after hearing this, "Do you think you are still growing?"
"Oh, I worked out too much the night before, so my legs are always weak and I don't have enough energy. You, a bachelor, don't understand that."
Xiao Xiao agreed with a giggle, "That makes sense!"
Ah Guang rolled his eyes, "Who are you bullying? What's so great about having a wife? Let's go to the boat to get the tools. The reef here is half exposed. Let's look around and dig up whatever we can find!"
As soon as they got ashore and hadn't sat down to rest for a while, they waded into the water and walked towards where the boat was tied up. As a result, as soon as they climbed onto the boat, Ye Yaodong's eyes widened.
"There...there! It's a mackerel flying in to catch its prey!"
Everyone else turned their heads and saw a group of horse mackerels chasing food in the shallow water on the east bank of their coast. Their bodies were long and laterally flattened, spindle-shaped, with streamlined shapes, extremely high swimming speeds, and sharp teeth. They were like cheetahs chasing their prey, and the frightened little fish fled in all directions.
Everyone was instantly excited, "It's the school of mackerel hunting!"
"It's the yanba!"
The Spanish mackerel, also known as the Spanish mackerel, is ferocious by nature. From June to October every year, it often swims in shallow waters near the shore in pursuit of food.
As the saying goes: Eat partridges and deer in the mountains, and eat pomfret in the sea.
The sea resources were abundant in this era, and wherever they looked, there were probably thousands of mackerel hunting.
They had never seen such a spectacular scene before and were stunned for a moment!
"Fishing nets, fishing nets, do you have any with you?" Ye Yaodong was very excited. Those were thousands of mackerel. According to the market conditions at that time, even if they were only 0.20 yuan per pound, if he caught half of them, he could still make a good profit.
You should know that the body length of the Chinese mackerel is basically more than 40 to 50 centimeters, and each one weighs more than 6 to 7 kilograms. There are thousands of them... What does that mean
"Shit, there's no fishing net!"
“I only brought tools for fishing in the sea”
"Why would we think of bringing fishing nets?"
Everyone said something, and their excitement seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. Without a fishing net, what would they use to catch the fish? Would they go into the water to fish
As happy as they were just now, everyone is now as depressed as they are watching the huge piles of silver floating in front of them but unable to pick it up.
"Go look inside the cabin and see if there's anything there. Guang's uncle is also a trawler, so there should be fishing nets on the boat, right?"
After his reminder, everyone woke up from their dream and hurried to search the cabin.
"Yes, yes, yes, the fishing net is here, it's inside!" A Guang's words were full of excitement.
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. Only with a fishing net could they cast their nets and catch fish.
"Quick, go and lower the rope, and let's sail while casting the net, heading straight for that school of mackerel."
Without him saying anything, everyone knew what to do. Those who were trying to untie the ropes did so, and those who were trying to work with the machines worked with the machines.
A Guang steered the boat towards the mackerel. When the boat in front came over, they came ashore from another direction and did not see the school of mackerel at all, and almost missed it.
The four of them were looking at the school of fish with excitement. The closer they got, the more passionate Ye Yaodong's eyes became. He had originally thought of coming to the isolated island to catch some seafood, to see if he could find more. Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot.
It is estimated that all his bad luck was taken away when he died, and now he is lucky and has great fortune!
When they were close to the school of fish, the horse mackerel were frightened and scattered like birds and beasts, but they still could not escape the fishing nets that had been cast in advance.
The boat did not stop, but continued sailing forward for a while before pulling up the net. Looking at the group of lively sea bass, everyone had a big smile on their face.
Ah Zheng's eyes widened. "Fuck, how many kilograms does this net weigh?"
“Oh my god, so many?”
Everyone's eyes were wide open!
"Fuck, hurry up, stop talking nonsense, throw it into the living cabin and continue to cast the net. They are still around and haven't gone far. Keep casting. This is a rare opportunity, let's take advantage of it to catch more nets!"
Birds of a feather flock together. We are all quite uneducated, so we can only use "wow" to express our excitement.
Ye Yaodong also shouted, "Keep going, keep going, hurry up, dump them into the live hold and keep casting the net."
As soon as the net of fish was poured into the live hold, it was immediately full. Some of the fish fell onto the boat and were bouncing all over the place. No one cared about that and started casting the second net.
The net was not pulled up immediately, but circled around the surrounding sea area twice before being pulled up. The horse mackerel that had just escaped could not run too far, so the net yielded a good harvest.
Ah Guang shouted excitedly, "Fuck, there are several hundred kilograms more. Hurry up and help us. The live tank can't hold any more. Throw them into the cabin. It doesn't matter if they are dead or alive. As long as they are fresh, they can be sold for money."
If he casts a few more nets and catches a few thousand kilograms, how can he work tomorrow
The mackerel is a nearshore fish and a warm-water migratory fish. The fishing season for the mackerel is from April to June. They mainly feed on aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp. This time they came out just in time to catch them hunting.
"Keep going… "
The boat was filled with the excited shouts of the four of them.
Everyone was shirtless and wearing only shorts. They didn't mind the sun on the boat and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
He cast five or six more nets in succession, each time leaving the net in the sea longer and longer, and each time he caught fewer and fewer mackerel.
But everyone is very contented, because this kind of good luck is hard to come by.
Seeing the live tank and the cabin filled with mackerel, their eyes were filled with excitement.
"Except at Yujing Wharf, I have never seen so many mackerel. Hahaha~ Sure enough, it was wise to follow Dongzi out. He has been lucky these days. We are also lucky now. Fortunately, we agreed yesterday. If Fatty and Awei didn't come, we would have lost a lot." A Guang said excitedly.
But he is very self-aware. He has always had bad luck, but Dongzi's luck has exploded in the past two days, as if he had stepped on dog shit!
"Yes, yes, Dongzi seems to be really lucky these days."
"I got rich today thanks to Dongzi!"
"Did you worship Mazu when you came out?"
