His father is also lazy.
What's wrong with cooking a meal, man
After a simple meal and some discussion about the sea monster, the two boats went off to trawler.
Everyone thought that today's incident should be just a simple episode that would pass.
Who hasn’t encountered some strange things at sea
When we were trawling the net later, we didn't encounter any unexpected situations and it was relatively calm.
The two boats did not go their separate ways, but were just separated by a large distance so as not to interfere with each other. Almost only the small black dots of each fishing boat could be seen.
Today's harvest was not very good. I missed that wave of black mullet and only caught about 70 to 80 kilograms.
I can only say that it's just so-so, not as much as what you catch with sticky nets. Fortunately, there are two sea pigs to provide some subsidies. Uncle Lin and his friends are the ones who really make a lot of money.
Watching the sun hiding in the clouds early, although it was not yet evening, only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they had already collected the current net and it was too late to set out another one.
It would be dark soon if they cast another net, so Uncle Lin and his friends decided to return early since they had already had a good harvest today.
After the father and son collected the last net, they felt that it was too late to set out another net, so they started to set out sticky nets.
They can put as many as they can so that they can collect them tomorrow. Dried fish is now the most important source of income for their family.
In fact, you can also use black mullet to dry fish, but the cost is a bit high.
If the cost is high, the selling price will also be high. He is afraid that people will think that he is deliberately raising the price. It is not as cost-effective as those fish that cost three or five cents. It is better to be stable.
Because they had to set up sticky nets, they arrived at the shore two hours later than Uncle Lin and his team.
It was already dark when we docked, and there were not many people on the dock. Only a few people who worked late were busy until this time. Even the workers at the Mazu Temple had gone off work.
As soon as he got ashore, Ye Yaodong heard about the appearance of a sea monster on the sea today. It might be that Uncle Lin and the others came back early and told the villagers about it.
Ah Cai saw them and asked, "Did you really encounter a sea monster? What does it look like?"
"You already know about the sea monster, but Uncle Lin didn't describe it?"
"It's very deep, and I can't see it clearly."
"We didn't see it clearly. It was only a second or two, and it flashed by. We only got a rough idea of it, and we have almost forgotten it by now."
"That's a pity."
"What a pity! We thought it was a good thing. This kind of strange creature is not found near the coast. If it attacks the ship, we will be dead if we are not lucky."
"Yes, it's better to be safe."
"Weigh it, weigh it, quickly weigh it and go home."
Just as Ye Yaodong finished urging and weighed the scale, someone on the shore exclaimed, and one after another, they all exclaimed "Bang! My God! My God!"
It immediately attracted everyone's attention. Most of them turned their heads to look, but the small hut was brightly lit, and when they looked from the bright place into the distance, it seemed pitch black and they could not see anything.
Father Ye volunteered, "You weigh them here first. There are only a few baskets left. After you weigh them, I'll go and see what's going on."
Ye Yaodong stretched his head to take a look, then retracted it, nodded, and urged Acai to hurry up.
After he quickly finished weighing, Acai didn't even bother to count the money. He quickly put down his paper and pen and ran to the shore with him.
At this time, most of the people who were still staying at the dock were standing on the shore watching the fun.
"What kind of fish is that? It's so ugly..."
"Is there really a sea monster? I heard people talking about it this afternoon. Luckily I'm at the dock sorting out the goods and haven't returned yet, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it..."
"What kind of fish is this?"
"Who knows... Hey, it looks like it's several meters long..."
"Look at its mouth, it's still open, its teeth are so sharp."
"Where did the Zhou brothers catch this? How could they catch such a big fish?"
"Can this be sold? It looks ugly, I guess no one wants it? I don't know if it's edible, is it poisonous? It doesn't look like something that can be eaten..."
"I was just wondering if I could eat it. It can't be eaten, and it can't be sold, but if I catch it, at least everyone can open their eyes."
"Isn't this a lot of work?"
"They can actually catch such a big fish. It must be difficult to catch, right?"
When Ye Yaodong and his companions reached the shore, they saw six or seven men in the water ahead, struggling to drag a large fish towards the shore.
The villagers around helped by holding flashlights to light the way for them to get ashore.
His ears were filled with all kinds of discussions, men and women were discussing this fish.
Ye Yaodong patted his father's shoulder, stretched his neck, and stared at the ugly big fish that the Zhou brothers and villagers were carrying.
"Dad, this looks like the sea monster we encountered during the day?"
"It seems so. I just came over and saw it. I said it looked like the same one we encountered during the day. It's impossible for two of these ugly big fish to appear at once."
"Well, I don't know how they caught it."
"It's hard to say, we'll know in a moment."
Some enthusiastic villagers saw that the boat had been dragged to the surface and went up to help lift it.
Ye Yaodong and his son also went to help. After all, they were neighbors and fellow villagers, and they could also ask them how they caught the criminals.
"I'll tell you later, I'll tell you later, drag it up first..."
Everyone was carrying it, it was very strenuous and no one had time to talk.
Only after they dragged the big guy ashore and threw it onto the shore did they breathe a sigh of relief, and the villagers also asked a lot of questions.
The eldest son of the Zhou family said with a smile: "Our ship was operating at sea, and we saw this strange thing tumbling in the sea. We were too scared to approach it at first, but then we saw it stop struggling, swim around the sea for a while, and then disappear."
"We didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while the net couldn't be dragged anymore. We thought it was stuck on the bottom, but we couldn't just throw the net away. We had to dive in the water to take a look in such a cold weather."
"I didn't expect to catch such a big fish in the fishing net. I almost got scared and was stunned at the time."
The second son of the Zhou family added: "This thing weighs thousands of pounds. We couldn't pull it up at all. We raised the flag and asked for help from a nearby fishing boat. The boat was planning to return, so it was kind enough to help us tow it back."
The villagers suddenly realized, "No wonder, this thing is so big, we were wondering how you caught it? You are so brave..."
"For example, not everyone would dare to catch such a big creature..."
"So what are you going to do? What is this?"
What is this? This question stumped everyone.
No one knows what this thing is? It looks weird, and it fell into the trap.
They just wanted to drag this thing back first. As for what to do with it, they didn’t think of it for the time being. They would drag it back and make plans later. What if they could sell it for money
Last year, the whole village knew that Ye Yaodong had brought back an oarfish. It was said that he took it to the town and sold it for several hundred dollars. The whole village and the neighboring villages were in an uproar. Everyone knew about it.
What if this fish can also be sold for a high price
They had the same idea!
It just looks a little ugly, and I don't know what kind of creature it is, so I'm a little unsure.
"This... Can this thing be sold? Can it be weighed?" Boss Zhou looked at Acai and Agui with a silly smile.
Agui immediately shook his head, "I don't know what this is, I don't want it."
They were immediately disappointed and looked at Acai again.
Ah Cai smiled awkwardly, "This is too big and too heavy, there's no way to weigh it, and I don't know what it is, and it's ugly, so no one knows if it's edible."
Zhou Laoer was anxious for a moment, "So you don't want it anymore? We dragged it back with great difficulty, why don't you help us ask if anyone wants it?"
"Uh... okay, then you guys wait here for a while, I'll go to the village committee and make a few calls to see if anyone will be interested."
He is such an enthusiastic and kind person. Whenever his fellow villagers need help, he will think of helping them. If successful, he can also earn some agency fees!
He has to make money from all sources, otherwise how can he get rich
"Hey, okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Please let me take a look at the goods in Xiaoliao first."
"Of course, of course. There are so many of us here watching."
Acai ran to his hut, picked up a small notebook, and rode his bicycle to the village committee.
None of the villagers were willing to leave; it was a rare opportunity to catch the live broadcast, so they all gathered together to discuss the event.
Some people who had heard rumors in the village in the afternoon asked Ye Yaodong and Ye's father.
"Lao Lin said this afternoon that you and he saw a sea monster together. Is that the one?"
"Yeah, I heard about it too. Is it this strange fish?"
"At the time I thought he was lying, but then he said you guys saw it too."
"You guys saw it first, right? You guys met the two brothers Zhou Da and Zhou Zhou later, right?"
When the Zhou brothers heard the villagers talking and asking questions, they immediately understood that Ye Yaodong and his son had also encountered this situation in the afternoon.
They quickly asked, "Adong, did you meet him this afternoon too?"
Everyone opened their mouths and asked questions non-stop. Ye Yaodong didn't know who to answer. When he heard them asking, he just nodded.
"Yes, we were trawling this afternoon and we happened to run into Uncle Lin. The two boats were talking at a distance when suddenly a strange creature emerged from the middle and jumped directly onto the surface, splashing water all over us."
"We just took a quick look and didn't get a good look before it went back into the sea. It looked a lot like the one you dragged back, but we don't know if it was the same one. After all, it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The eldest brother of the Zhou family patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course it is. How could there be two of these things? It just happened to be alive when you saw it, and it was almost dead when I saw it, so we got a bargain."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's so big, I can't do anything with it. I wish I could stay away from it."
"You took the trouble to drag it back, but I don't know if you can sell it. If you can, at least your work wasn't in vain, and you can make a good profit."
