Ye Yaodong was lurking not far away with great interest, and was ready to take a closer look at the big bass fighting against the school of Balang fish.
Unexpectedly, the school of Balang fish was so huge that it surrounded the sea bass as soon as it rushed over his head. Then he couldn't see anything, only three layers of Balang fish inside and three layers outside. Densely packed and dense.
Also, in front of such a huge school of fish, this seven or eight pound sea bass is not enough to look at, and it is not enough for them to fill their teeth with one fish.
It is estimated that they were eaten as soon as they were surrounded. The ones on the outside were not even able to lick the bones and dregs, so they could only be used as an atmosphere group.
This scene actually happened in an instant, when he first reacted after discovering it and dived down to avoid it.
After realizing that he couldn't see anything, Ye Yaodong also reacted, kicked off his legs, and hurriedly floated up. It was rare to encounter such a large school of fish, so he had to ask his father to throw two nets.
Although this fish is extremely cheap and worthless, the dried fish is the best. Now his shop is almost sold out and closed down, and he is in urgent need of a batch of dried fish.
Boss Zhou had made two phone calls during this period. He wanted five or six thousand kilograms of dried fish, but he didn't have any, so he had to reluctantly decline.
Because the store had previously stocked up, and Jia Zheng sent it over from time to time to replenish it, there were only four to five thousand kilograms left.
Ah Zheng doesn’t go back and forth to the city every day, and the weather may not always be good. A batch posted in a few days may only be enough for him to barely sell at retail, and he can’t ship in large quantities.
At the same time that Boss Zhou was calling, the army also called to ask for 2,000 kilograms. He must give priority to his father-in-law to send it to the army, and then leave one or two thousand kilograms for retail sale.
Once the last one or two thousand kilograms are sold out, we will have no choice but to close down.
In fact, those dried mussels and dried shrimps are also very easy to sell, but the quantity is too small. No one is breeding them these days. They just dig outside the island and harvest a batch in a few days. The quantity is really not much, and it is only enough for retail sale. If you want to sell it in large quantities, there is no stock available.
Everything is in short supply these days. As long as you have something, you are not afraid that no one will want it. It has just been a few years since the opening, and most places are still in short supply of supplies.
This group of Balangyu was a timely rain, barely able to keep him going for a few more days.
The business of the shops in the city was so good, which was beyond his expectation. Moreover, his father-in-law called the day before yesterday and said that many shops have opened next to him in the past month. Basically, the shops around the first entrance are all open. It's fully open and business seems to be good.
After the two old men had matured, they were reluctant to run a good business and ran out of goods to sell. When they couldn't work anymore, they ran back to rest. They also asked him to dry more dried fish or other dry goods and send them over.
Or they go to the market to buy a batch of cheap fish and put it in the store, and ask him to ask Uncle Zhou to pick up the goods and transport several thousand kilograms back to dry.
He was also planning to do this. He asked his father-in-law to buy a few thousand kilograms today. He asked Uncle Zhou to pick up the goods. After all, he just asked Ah Qing to hire someone to kill him when he brought them back.
You can’t just count on Ah Zheng to post it, as he alone won’t be able to sell enough.
Maybe after selling for a few more days, he really needs to dry a batch of dried squid and test the water first. Otherwise, he can ask the boss next week if he will accept it?
These thoughts only came to his mind for a moment when he came up.
When he was about to surface, he reminded his father that there was a school of Balang fish three or four meters above the water and asked him to quickly cast the net.
Unexpectedly, his father reacted quickly. When his head emerged from the water, he just dropped a net six or seven meters in front of him.
He raised his eyes and saw that the surface of the water was also covered with black water, but he didn't know what was under the water.
Seeing that he suddenly surfaced, Ye's father immediately shouted to him: "Come up quickly and help, there are schools of fish."
Ye Yaodong didn't say a word, nor did he immediately remove the oxygen tube from his face. He just quickly swam to the side of the boat and took it off after getting on the boat.
It happened that Ye's father also collected a net, hung it on the rolling wheel, and let the wheel automatically rotate to collect the net.
"This net should weigh several hundred kilograms!"
Father Ye smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Yes, it's a good thing that I came here to collect the shrimp pots. I didn't go back directly, otherwise I would have missed them. Did you see any shrimp pots down there?"
"I haven't reached the bottom yet. I thought it had been too long, so I swam slowly. When I got down to five or six meters, I saw a group of Balang fish rushing towards me. There was a bass right in front of me. It's gone after just one encounter, it's a pity, the bass weighs seven or eight pounds."
"It's enough to have these schools of fish. There are really many of these Balang fish."
"The less valuable the fish, the more fish there are, and they all appear in groups. They are collected quickly..."
It was such a big bag of fish. The father and son worked together to catch the fishing net when the wheel turned up. The big bag of fish hit the deck and scattered all over the floor.
Ye Yaodong quickly untied the fishing net and poured it out, "This bag weighs more than 300 kilograms. It should be..."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and cast two more nets before we go too far..."
"Ah, there's a shark..."
Ye Yaodong shook the fishing net and was about to continue casting when he saw a large shark's dorsal fin exposed on the water, speeding towards this direction quickly.
After he shouted, he continued to throw his own fish without any ambiguity in his hand movements, and looked towards the charging shark.
I saw it with its mouth wide open as it plunged into the school of fish and sucked wildly!
If he looked carefully, the shark should be a tiger shark. It was not very big, just over one meter. It was characterized by a thick hard spine on the front edges of its two dorsal fins and more than 10 horizontal stripes on its body.
The nearby school of Balang fish that had moved forward and dispersed instantly turned back, all rushing towards the shark.
You know, groups of Balang fish are known as "piranhas in the sea". They all have small fangs in their mouths. A single one is not scary, but anything is afraid of being in large numbers. If there are too many, it will cause choking. It could choke you to death.
What's more, this Balangyu knows how to fight back.
Once they are in danger of being preyed upon by sharks or other large fish, they will swarm in groups.
As they saw now, after eating the bass, they had moved forward, but then turned around collectively.
Even if they can't beat these ferocious and huge predators due to their size difference, and they can only kill people when they rush over and eat them like a tornado, they still have to fight to the end and leave some wounds on the sharks.
The water surface was also splashing with waves because of their battle. The tiger sharks didn't know if it was because they were biting too hard, but the fish tail kept swinging and hitting the water surface.
Lice are also itchy when there are too many. Although there is a big difference in body size between the two, the bite of a small balang fish, which is more than 20 cm long, is undoubtedly not enough to scratch the itch of a tiger shark which is more than one meter long. However, if there are too many, it will Deadly.
Pain spread all over the body. The tiger shark could not eat, and had no companions to help it share the food. The pain in its body also made it manic.
Ye Yaodong was four or five meters away from their fight on the boat, and he was still covered with splashes of water on his body and face. After he got up, he didn't have time to put on clothes, so he only wiped his bare upper body with his hands. Just keep closing the net.
His fishing net only stayed for a short time when it was cast down, and then immediately hung on the rolling wheel to rotate. When it was collected, they didn't need to work hard, and they could distract themselves from paying attention to the sea.
"I don't know how many kilograms the shark swallowed just now. It's a pity." Father Ye looked forward and stretched his neck.
"After collecting this net, let's throw the fishing net directly towards the place where they are fighting and see if we can catch them all in one catch?"
"There are too many. If we catch that shark, all the balang fish will be scattered, and they may all be gone before we can even cast a second net."
"Then catch the ones on the edge of the net first, and then cast the net toward the middle."
"First cast the net like this and see. They shouldn't be able to tell the difference so quickly."
The second net collected a lot of goods, and Father Ye was so happy that he beamed with joy.
The father and son all fell onto the deck and had no time to clean up. They quickly freed up the fishing nets and continued to cast.
At this time, Ye Yaodong felt that although this hand-thrown net was too simple and inefficient, it was indeed very useful sometimes, and having one on board was simply not enough.
If there are two fishing nets, he can continue to cast one while collecting them. After collecting one net, he can collect the second net immediately, so as not to waste the time in the middle.
As he continued to spread it out, he also muttered: "I have to ask someone to make two more tomorrow and put them on the boat for later use. This one has been used so many times and it is a bit damaged."
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Hurry up, cast as many nets as you can, and catch more. This fish will be very fragrant when you take it back and dry it. Your mother likes to eat it."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his father, he also liked to eat! The whole family loves to eat it!
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and put it away. You are just staring at it and you don't know anything. Where is your usual cleverness?" After Ye's father complained, he quickly put the goods on the rolling wheel away.
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and hurried up to help.
"There are so few online products, maybe less than a hundred catties."
"It's too borderline."
"Didn't you say you should fish the edges first?"
Father Ye explained, "Aren't you afraid that the sharks will be caught and the Balang fish will run away?"
"Just fish it out, the sun has gone down, and finally cast a net..."
Just as they were pouring fish onto the deck and talking, another boat appeared in the distance and headed this way quickly.
Father Ye then quickly slapped Ye Yaodong twice, "Dongzi, why is another boat coming?"
Ye Yaodong was arranging the fishing net. He looked over quickly and was surprised, "The sun has gone down. Shouldn't everyone go back? Why are you still driving here so fast?"
"Let's quickly cast the net at the center of their fight. We can catch as many as we can. We don't know what kind of ship it is. Let's catch them first, so as not to benefit others."
"Hey, I just said, net it directly, fish it out, you are still reluctant to let it go."
"Don't you want to network more? Don't be an afterthought and get to work quickly."
In fact, both father and son were not that nervous. There was only one boat and the sun was setting.
Ye Yaodong aimed at the fierce battle ahead and spread the fishing net as wide as possible to catch as much cargo as possible.
After the fishing net covered all the big bag of fish in the middle, he quickly pulled and closed the net.
However, this net is not that simple, not that easy. When the fishing net was catching the group of fish in the battle, it encountered fierce resistance from the tiger shark, struggling violently to prevent him from closing the net.
"Grass!"
Father Ye saw that he was struggling to close the fishing net, and he quickly stepped forward to help, "It's too big, it's too big..."
"Try harder..."
