Chapter 498 Release

Ye Yaodong dipped his thumb and index finger into saliva twice, and then began to count them one by one. He counted them twice and found 56.

"Yes, that's right."

He put away the 56 large unity sheets and the seven yuan change, and gave the remaining fifty-six cents to Chen Jiannian, "On this hot day, just buy a popsicle and two packs of cigarettes to smoke."

"Haha, you're welcome, this will help me earn more."

"That's right. If we have money, we can all earn it together. I'm counting on you to help us get the money for the remaining goods."

After receiving the money, Chen Jianian patted his chest happily and vowed, "Of course, you can trust me. Of course I will take care of things for you. I also hope that we can come back next year to make a fortune."

"Okay, okay..."

Everyone was envious, and other people who didn't know it now knew that Ye Yaodong sold almost 600 yuan on the first day he came here.

"You are still brave enough to make money."

"Yeah, who would have thought that you could make such a good profit by traveling around Zhejiang and Fujian to catch jellyfish."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "This is called high risks accompanied by high returns. Everything you do has risks. We who make a living at sea, although we earn more than others, are also more dangerous than others."

Father Pei smiled and said: "Anyway, we are following you. This trip is the right one."

Ye Yaopeng also said with envy: "Dongzi really caught the wave of jellyfish right. Just sent them here, and the number increased five times. I can continue to fish here. I can really make a lot of money this time." The bowl is full.”

"I told you a long time ago that you are still not happy to follow Dongzi here. You still feel that it is far away, unsafe, and unsure. You see, if we had come here the day before yesterday, we could have gained one more day..."

"Okay, okay, keep talking...aren't we all here? If you haven't come, how do you know what's going on here? Don't I want to be on the safe side?"

The two brothers started to quarrel again because of this matter.

Father Pei smiled to smooth things over and interrupted them, "We're not too late. We're just in time, aren't we? We also encountered a natural trench today, and now we can make a lot of money again."

Father Ye also glared at his two sons, "No need to be an afterthought. Work quickly. First lift all the goods on the boat to the beach. They will come to collect the goods later. There is also a net of jellyfish at the stern of the boat, they are still waiting for you. Busy work.”

"Let's go and pick up the cargo on the ship..."

With the stimulation of money, everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they hurried to the ship to move the goods with high spirits.

After a while, the person receiving the goods also came around.

When they saw the fierce fighting on the shore, they couldn't help but complain, "Why is there fighting here?"

"We had a fight yesterday afternoon, and I don't know when it will stop."

Because everyone had to weigh the goods, they all turned their attention away and didn't say much.

Because they encountered a trench today, they didn't have to float around in the sea looking for jellyfish, and they harvested more than yesterday.

Although he didn't know how many kilograms of jellyfish he dragged, the divided quantity was half more than yesterday. The total number of jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins was a little over 3,000 kilograms. He estimated that the catch in the morning should be about 5,000 kilograms, or about a hundred.

Although the price has dropped by 5% compared to yesterday, the quantity has increased and I can earn a little more than yesterday.

His two elder brothers and Pei's father also passed their nicknames. They were all very happy when they got today's delivery receipt. Then they took the tractor to avoid the people fighting on the shore and went to the educated youth spot to collect the goods they had picked up yesterday. of.

Father Ye went to the stern chute of the boat to collect the net gear and untie the fishing net.

Ye Yaodong carried a large amount of money on his body, and it was inconvenient to go into the water. He would get wet when he got into the water, so he waited on the shore and cut up the jellyfish on the spot when they pulled them up.

He lit a cigarette and glanced at the two groups who were still fighting to death in the distance. Although he felt that he shouldn't be rejoicing there, he still felt that the two groups fought in a timely manner and directly. It diverted the attention of the whole village.

They were selling and dividing their goods here, and no one in the village could see them for the time being. Otherwise, the three big boats sold a large amount of jellyfish, and also dragged a large net, which exceeded the daily fishing amount of the villagers. It would have attracted their attention.

After all, it is better to keep a low profile on other people's territory. They also want to stay a few more days and make more money, so they can't make others jealous.

Father Ye also felt that the fight was going well, and urged others to quickly pull up the jellyfish in the fishing net one by one. He also took the hook, hooked any one and dragged it to the beach.

Ye Yaodong held a knife on the shore and cut up the jellyfish he dragged up on the spot. He was skilled and fast. When the four of them dragged up a wave, he could cut one.

After all the jellyfish were dragged to the shore, he also divided them into 1/4. Compared with his two brothers and father Pei who were busy catching jellyfish one by one, their team was extremely efficient.

"The jellyfish have been brought up, there are some fish and shrimps in the fishing net, and there are three turtles of different species, some big and some small. Do you plan to release them?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at the fishing net they were dragging to the shore, "Let it go? A group of turtles have not been caught, let alone those few. Let's put them back into the sea."

"what ever."

"I gonna go see."

He picked up a basket and walked towards the fishing net, pouring out all the seafood in it.

In addition to jellyfish and turtles, this net also hauled six to seven pounds of shrimps, crabs and fish, so the offshore resources were a little less.

This amount of goods, if combined with what was hauled by the other two boats, would be enough to feed a dozen or so of them, which would save money on food.

He took the turtles out of the basket one by one, put them in the water, and let them swim to the sea on their own.

"It's not easy for you all to grow so big. If I do a good deed today, I will treat it as a good deed every day..."

Throughout the ages, there have been activities of releasing animals.

Releasing animals is a matter of immeasurable merit in Buddhism. It not only accumulates merit for yourself, but also accumulates blessings for your children.

The turtle also means longevity, and releasing the turtle also means praying for long life, good health, and no disasters for yourself and your loved ones.

At this moment, Ye Yaodong thought that today seemed to be the 15th day of the lunar calendar?

I heard that releasing animals on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month is the most effective!

He couldn't help but become interested, and saw a lot of barnacles growing on the back of the turtle in his hand. He originally planned to put it directly into the water, but he suppressed it to prevent it from moving.

"Brother Asheng, go and get me a knife."

After saying that, he muttered to the turtle again, "God has a good life. You are lucky to meet me. Today is the fifteenth day. I am a good person and will do my best to scrape the barnacles on your back."

He took the knife handed over by Ye Yaosheng and started scraping it from the edge.

"Shaving will make you healthier. I'll help you shave cleanly and reduce your weight. You can swim faster and not be crushed to death. Remember to protect me when you return to the sea..."

"Don't move, the knife has no eyes, it will be healed soon..."

"Don't mention it, this process is quite relaxing..."

Ye Yaosheng looked at his strange behavior and couldn't complain, who made him the boss.

He shook his head with a smile and went back to Father Ye to help with the division.

Ye Yaodong thought to himself while scraping, and saw that the barnacles on the turtle shell were getting fewer and fewer. When they were completely cleaned, he felt instantly refreshed.

"It's done!" He patted the turtle on the head with a knife, "Let's go~"

After the turtle was no longer suppressed, it began to crawl on the beach with its limbs. However, before crawling a few times, the turtle suddenly turned back.

Ye Yaodong became even happier instantly.

In his previous life, he heard someone say that when a turtle was released, the turtle turned back, which meant blessings, and it was expressing gratitude to you and thanking you.

"It's really refreshing. I think my body feels lighter and more comfortable."

The turtle looked back, then continued to crawl forward, and then slowly swam toward the sea.

Next to them, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaosheng were busy dragging the jellyfish to the beach and did not see him releasing it. Only after dragging the jellyfish later did they notice that he had been squatting there for a while.

"Dongzi, what are you doing?"

"Why did you release the turtle? This can be sold for money."

"Today is the fifteenth day. I heard that releasing animals is very effective. I'll give it a try. I just saw the turtle turn around. It feels very effective."

Ye Yaodong once again gave them some popular science about the theory of releasing animals.

Ye Yaohua scratched his head, "Really? It seems that people used to release turtles often."

"Um."

After he responded, he returned to their group, looked at his watch, and thought about it.

"Dad, you and your eldest cousin and your second cousin can split up on the beach. It should be enough for you to work here. Brother Asheng and I will go to sea again and drag a net back just in time for dinner. We can also go out to sea in the afternoon. , engage them again.”

"Okay, then you go, be careful, ask your eldest brother and two brothers to go with you. Several boats can take care of you. If something happens, people will have to consider it because there are so many of you."

Father Ye also noticed that the surrounding villages seemed to be uneasy, and it seemed that fighting was commonplace. They, who were outsiders and unfamiliar with the place, had to stick together to feel safe.

"Well, I'm going to talk to the eldest and second brothers, and I'll call Uncle Pei too."

Of course they have no objection to going out and dragging the net back before eating. They can make more money, be a little more tired, and have a little more trouble, so what does it matter?

What made Ye Yaodong funny was that his eldest and second brothers also released the two turtles they had caught.

Ye Yaopeng said helplessly: "Your second brother thinks what you did is right and what you said makes sense."

Haha~

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that his second brother still believed in him, which was a bit funny.

Father Pei also found it funny.

"Second brother thinks that he doesn't need this little money anyway, and he also wants to do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue."

Ye Yaohua laughed innocently.

Ye Yaodong said again: "Okay, let's go and seize the time to drag the net again."

"Well, let's go."
