There was a fishing boat nearby that had not left yet. Seeing him holding the hand net and preparing to fish again, the old man on the boat couldn't help but shout out to persuade him kindly.
"Don't fish it out. It's probably a jellyfish. It's poisonous. It's useless to fish it out."
"I know it's poisonous. I'll be careful. I'll try to get it."
In the distance, other fishing boats were also attracted by the several fishing boats that had just gathered here, and they all headed towards this side. Although most of the fishing boats had dispersed, they were still heading here as usual.
Because some boats have just sailed out from the safe harbor and have to dock as well, so it doesn't matter which direction they go. Some boats have just finished their operations, or like Ye Yaodong, they have just finished casting their nets and are on their way back, so they come over to take a look.
The old man who had just reminded him saw him holding a hand net and fiddling with the blue jellyfish on the sea, repeating the same thing over and over again, as if he was looking for something. He became curious and just watched for a while, wanting to see what he was going to do.
I also looked at the sea carefully, wondering if there was really anything different inside
Several fishing boats that came closer one after another also saw the blue ball floating on the sea. They were curious and asked them about it.
Ye Yaodong had no time to care about them as he had just caught another jellyfish.
But those people's attention was not on him. Their attention was all on the blue ball on the sea and the old man who was explaining it to them.
The old man did see his actions, but he was far away and couldn't see clearly. It looked no different from the blue ball, and he became even more confused.
Some people curiously fished a few up to take a look, but they also found that Ye Yaodong's behavior of fiddling with them was extremely suspicious.
Someone who knew him shouted, "What are you doing, Dong? Didn't you say it was a jellyfish? Why are you stirring it like that?"
It just so happened that he had just seen a large jellyfish looming below the surface, and he happily scooped it up immediately without avoiding these people.
Unless he doesn't fish for them, the balls floating on the sea will always attract fishing boats. This is the coast, so they will always be seen.
Moreover, jellyfish is not produced here. Wenzhou is the rich production area of jellyfish. The earliest master who cuts jellyfish was also from Wenzhou. They are rare here, and the villagers do not know how to cut them or how to handle jellyfish.
Because after the jellyfish is salvaged, it must be cut into pieces within 1 hour, otherwise once the jellyfish dies, the inside of the jellyfish will deteriorate and become inedible.
So many people will not catch it even if they see it, and it will be useless to catch it.
Everyone now saw the large jellyfish he had just fished out, and instantly understood what he was looking for by fiddling around in the sea.
"Hey, this jellyfish is quite big."
"I didn't expect that there were jellyfish mixed in with this group of blue jellyfish. It's a pity that we don't know how to deal with it."
"Adong, you don't have to fish it out so hard. It's not easy to handle..."
"What a pity. I don't know how the jellyfish sold outside are made..."
"Who knows? It's rare here, so it's useless to learn it."
"Why is Ah Dong still fishing there? Tell him to stop..."
"Yeah, stop fishing..."
Everyone kindly dissuaded him, thinking that he was young and ignorant and was working in vain.
Ye Yaodong discovered several jellyfish underwater in succession, some of which were quite large. Moreover, as more and more blue balls floated up, the number of jellyfish seemed to be increasing.
At the same time, the colors in the water also increased. Not only the color of the blue ball, but there were also several colorful light-colored transparent jellyfish underwater.
This is the location right in front of him, there are probably jellyfish in other locations as well.
When he came over just now, he didn't see so many. He had to move the blue balls away to occasionally see one or two.
He excitedly continued to fish for his fish. Others wouldn't kill, but he would!
This segmentation processing method was later widely spread.
He thought that he could only catch the jellyfish near him, and there must be some in other places in such a large area of the sea. He couldn't catch them all by himself, so he might as well call a few boats to help him catch them together. He would then collect them from them and ask others to deal with them together.
There is strength in numbers. When the number increases, we must all work together to make it happen.
"Everyone, uncles and brothers, I see there seem to be quite a few jellyfish in the sea. You can catch them together and sell them to me."
"What? I'll sell it to you?"
"Yaodong, you don't have a fever, do you? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Yes, the dock purchase point won't accept it. If we sell it to you, isn't that cheating you?"
"This thing is hard to handle, and it's poisonous. It's easy to get stung?"
Some people are not so honest. When they hear that he wants to buy something, they immediately ask how much it costs, regardless of whether he will lose it or not, or what he will do with it.
"One cent per pound. We weigh them directly when we get ashore. We only want the living ones, not the dead ones."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Really? One cent per pound?"
"Is this true? Are you really going to accept it?"
"Of course it's true. So many people are listening. Would I lie to you? If I were to trick you and make you work for nothing, wouldn't you rush to my house and curse me to death?"
Don't underestimate the small amount of money. The key point is that the jellyfish are heavy. Just look at the ones they see in front of them. Each one weighs more than 10 to 20 kilograms. This one is only one or two cents. If you catch a few more, it will be several dollars. It's a lot of money.
The weather just cleared up today and the fishing boats just left the safe harbor. Everyone has basically no income today, and they have to pay for gas to go out to sea. Not only today, but in the past half month, only scallops have been sold, and everyone is anxious to make money.
Moreover, when the pier was closed some time ago, Ye Yaodong helped the villagers at the beach and collected all their seafood.
After that one experience, his words became more credible.
"Hurry, let's find the jellyfish..."
Now, all the fishing boats started moving, quickly taking up the tools on their boats and searching for the jellyfish hidden among the group of jellyfish.
Even the people who had been advising them before started to move, for fear that they would fall behind and be caught by others. Everyone rushed to pick up the scoop nets in their hands, all scrambling to find jellyfish.
Some people on the boat who only had one hand-scoop net regretted not having an extra one, otherwise they could use one hand to poke and the other to scoop.
Ye Yaodong was also trying hard to find it. This was all money and he couldn't just sit there and watch.
Everyone gathered enthusiastically at the area with the blue ball, looking for jellyfish. The anomaly here also attracted fishing boats from afar, and after learning about it, they all joined in.
If you don't make money, you're a bastard.
Even the fishing boats that had stayed here earlier came back again in confusion.
After knowing that Ye Yaodong was going to collect jellyfish, everyone beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they left too early.
In this way, more and more fishing boats were attracted to the sea...
