Chapter 146 Added money again
Ye Yaodong handed him the fishing rod, and by the way, threw him one each of the small fish and shrimp, and he could use whatever he wanted as bait.
He quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I just got back from the ground cage, and there is something in the bucket, just take a small miscellaneous fish."
"That's fine." Ye Yaodong threw the small fish back into the bucket, and threw the shrimp onto the boat board.
Lin Laoliu held the fishing rod and said with a smile, "Then I'll try and return it to you after I catch one rod."
After speaking, he followed Ye Yaodong's example and cut off a piece of fish meat, put on the bait, and threw it into the sea, saying: "I don't know if I'm lucky or not, what can I catch?"
"Wait slowly, there will always be fish hooked."
Ye Yaodong stared at the sea with his chin propped up. He felt that four or five minutes had passed. Lin Laoliu was hesitant to lift the rod to see if the bait had fallen off, but he saw a long object in the sea. swim through.
Within 3 seconds, Lin Laoliu said happily: "Yes, yes."
He tried to lift it slowly, but found that it was quite heavy, so he was a little surprised and pulled it harder.
"Big Eel!"
Ye Yaodong let out a cry of surprise.
Lin Laoliu also said happily: "Good guy! This one weighs seven or eight catties, thick and long."
"Uncle Lin is lucky."
"Haha, maybe it's a newcomer's hand." He picked up the big eel and stretched it out to Ye Yaodong, "Put it back in the bucket quickly! Such a big eel is also very good."
"You caught it, or do you keep it? I just borrowed a fishing rod."
There are already a few good fish in the bucket, so let him catch what he catches.
"No, no, it's okay, I'll borrow your fishing rod to play with, and I'll give you the fish you catch."
"That's so embarrassing."
"What's the matter, as an elder, I can still talk without ignoring this fish? Hurry up and put it in the bucket, be careful, don't be bitten by it, such a big eel has very strong teeth .By the way, take the fishing rod, I have to go back to eat."
Since he said so, he will not be polite.
"Then thank you very much, Uncle, if you come to the village when you have time, come to my house and have a sit."
"well…"
After saying hello, Lin Laoliu rowed back. Xishan Village also has a small pier, which is not comparable to their village, but it can also dock and go ashore.
After the others left, Ye Yaodong caught two more rods with fish, and there was another silly and Shi Jiugong, so he simply called it a day and went back.
It's noon, it's time to rush back to have lunch.
Today is the first day for them to start anew, so they have to go home early no matter what.
He put away the fishing rod without hesitation, and picked up the remaining small shrimps on the deck back into the bucket by the way, so that they should not be wasted, and they can be peeled and dried if they can’t be sold for money.
As for the half fish that he caught, he threw it back into the sea casually, and let it return to the embrace of the sea to make its final contribution.
Rowing a small boat under the scorching sun, the wind on the sea blows away the heat from his body, making him feel very comfortable. There are still some small boats on the sea that are also preparing to call it a day and stop working.
After he slowly docked the boat, he still put the fishing rod on the boat. Anyone can make such a simple fishing rod, so no one would deliberately steal it.
After fixing the boat, he disembarked with two large barrels of goods and sent them to the purchase point. Tiger spots are not common, but it is not that no one has caught them.
He caught one three months ago, and this one was bigger, weighing 2 catties and 3 pounds. A Cai also gave a good price to save face, 4 yuan and 50 cents per catty.
Eel is 4 cents a catty, that one is 7 catties and 2 cents, and the red badge is 3 cents and 5 cents. After catching 4, it is only 3 catties. Huangshan fish is priced according to its size.
He caught the one that cost two taels a catty and bought it for 1 yuan and 10 cents.
Oh my god, with such a calculation, he has gained a lot today!
All exceeded the value of his ground cage goods, and the ground cage was only sold for fifteen yuan. Those blue crabs and red cream crabs were big heads.
"Are there a lot of basket goods recently?" A Cai handed him the list and asked with a smile.
"good."
He put away the list with a smile, and didn't specifically say that half of the fish was caught by him. There is no need to explain everything clearly to others, as long as he makes money.
There is also a one-legged red cream crab that he specially kept in the bucket, and he also kept a few stupid ones. The goods received today are very good, and these few worthless ones will be taken back to pickle salted fish, and they can still be cooked. Hot and Sour Fish Fillet Soup.
There are also some small fish and shrimp, which should also be taken back to dry the fish. When they moved, they didn't take any of the dried fish and shrimps that were drying at home. They really only took things from their own house.
Carrying two buckets, he quickly returned to his heart and quickened his pace.
When he got to the door of the house, he saw his wife slapping off the hand of the boss who was about to steal, "Your father hasn't come back yet, why worry?"
"I'm hungry, Mom, when will Daddy come back?"
"It's coming soon, who told you to run around all day long, it's not because you're hungry, wait and see, it should be soon."
Ye Chenghu flat-mouthed, "Grandma used to always say not to wait for daddy, let's eat ours and let daddy starve."
Ye Yaodong: This brat!
Lin Xiuqing didn't know how to explain it to the children. Their father became better, and after thinking about it, he said, "That was before, don't we live with them now?"
"Mother, hungry, rice..."
Seeing her younger son screaming too, she had to pat them on the head, "Okay then, mother will pack the food for you first, and wait while you eat..."
"Father, you are finally back, I'm going to starve to death!"
"Daddy, hug~" Ye Chengyang quickly climbed off the stool and rushed over, habitually hugging his legs!
Ye Yaodong lifted him up, put him on the stool, and looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Next time I come back late, don't wait for me, you can just eat. If there is no food left, just cook some noodles at that time. Just fill your stomach."
She smiled and said, "Isn't this thinking about the first day, the whole family will eat together? Go wash your hands."
"Um."
Simple three dishes and one soup.
Steamed salted fish, scrambled eggs with shrimps, fried green vegetables, and pickled vegetable and potato soup.
He knows the small green vegetables, they planted them themselves, and the small vegetable patch he opened in the backyard has grown green and can be picked off and eaten.
Did his mother bring over the other dishes?
Thinking so in his heart, he also asked the same question.
Lin Xiuqing replied: "Yes, not long after you went out, Mother brought a large basket of dry goods and potatoes, and asked me to share with my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and let us go get it after eating."
"Oh, then you don't have to buy vegetables, let's eat quickly."
"Mother also said that there is not much rice left at home. Dad and elder brother are going to sea. She asked you and second brother to pack the rice in the barn into four sacks and send it to the workshop when they are free in the afternoon. Divide into one bag. The rice bran is also collected by myself, and when her hen cuddles and the chicks hatch out, we will share a few chicks, and we will feed them to the chickens at that time."
Ye Yaodong listened to the nagging in his ear, nodded while eating, "I'll go after dinner."
"Not in a hurry."
After Lin Xiuqing picked a large piece of scrambled eggs with shrimps for him, she immediately put a few small pieces in the bowl of the eldest son, but the younger son in his arms couldn't wait for her to feed him, and shouted: "Yes, yes!" ..."
"Understood, I will clip it for you."
After stuffing a piece of shrimp into his mouth, he became quiet.
"Eat slowly, what else..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the interaction between the mother and the son, his eyes were full of smiles.
"You can eat it, too. He's already so big. Give him a spoon and dig it out. You don't need to feed him like this, do you?"
"Then how can I eat decently, I can eat with peace of mind when I eat these two."
"All right."
After the two children finished eating, Lin Xiuqing took the half-eaten meal from the younger son and continued eating. Ye Yaodong quickly poured the remaining scrambled eggs with shrimps into her bowl.
"Too much…"
"Eat it!"
After taking a few sips of soup, he put away the bowls and chopsticks, and then took a kitchen knife and a cutting board to kill the fish.
Lin Xiuqing watched him work, and speeded up his meal, ready to help.
One of the husband and wife killed the fish, the other peeled the shrimps, and the work was done in a short time.
"There is a one-legged red cream crab in the other bucket. After dinner, I will go to the pharmacy to buy a few roots of Codonopsis pilosula and wolfberry, and then stew them for the two children."
"okay."
Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong just remembered that he washed his hands and ate when he came back, and forgot to bring the goods to her.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the price on the invoice, she was no longer surprised, she didn't ask any more, she was numb, and she was used to him selling for a lot of money every time, so she just counted the money and saved it up.
"I finished collecting the goods in the ground cage today, and I caught fish for a while by the way. The harvest was pretty good. I caught a two-pound and two-pound tiger spotted."
"Ah, no wonder, it sold for so much money."
"Well, save it well, there are still many places to use the money in the future."
He doesn't need to say this, she understands it too.
"Dongzi? Are you okay? Let's go to the old house to pack rice."
It was Ye Yaohua who came out to call him when he heard the voice from the back door.
"alright."
Just after killing the fish and washing hands, let her handle the rest.
There is no rice mill workshop in their village, and they need to push a cart of rice to Dongqiao Village, where there is a rice mill workshop.
When they went, the previous person had just finished processing, so they arrived without queuing.
Two brothers carried a sack of rice and poured it in from the top opening of the rice mill. Ye Yaodong took a sack and put it on the rice outlet. After the preparation was complete, the owner of the workshop started the rice mill.
After a while, the grinding wheel started to move, grinding the outer skin of the rice, removing the light brown layer of the husk, and grains of white rice flowed out of the mouth and flowed into the sack.
The freshly milled rice was hot, white, beautiful and easy to touch. Ye Yaodong reached out to pick it up from time to time, turned it over when his palm was full, threw it back into the bag, and repeated the action.
After processing a bag, he picked it up, and estimated that one hundred catties of rice would produce about sixty to seventy catties of rice, and charged 10 cents for processing. If you don’t want rice bran, you can charge 1 cent less.
They definitely want this, and their mother also told them to take the rice bran home and feed it to the chickens.
After grinding all 4 bags of rice, an hour has passed.
The two brothers gave the wages and pushed the milled rice back to distribute.
