"Third Uncle, your sack is inconvenient. If we grab one, we have to run around and throw it in."
"Then you take out the basket, catch it in the basket first, and pour it into the sack later."
"good."
The children poured the small seafood they had just picked up into one basket one after another, and then filled their own basket first.
"Wow, these strips are so fat~" Ye Chenghai grabbed a wriggling sandworm, "Third Uncle, let's catch all these sandworms, how much can we sell them for?"
"It can't be sold for much, so it can be directly dried in the sun. Everyone will share a little and eat by themselves."
"How much can you sell?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "I want to make money to carry goods at the pier!"
"Huh? No, no, no... It's good to eat by yourself..."
LOL!
Others made fun of him one after another, "A Haige, aren't you most looking forward to making money?"
"He earned 1 yuan last time..."
"Why don't you go again?"
Ye Chenghai rolled his eyes, "You guys will find out after carrying it for a day."
"Hee hee~ Then I prefer to herd sheep. There are a lot of delicious food on the mountain. I saw that the loquats on the mountain over there have grown so big."
"Do you want to herd sheep, or do you want to steal?"
"Hey~"
Ye Yaodong listened to their gags, and couldn't help urging, "Catch it quickly, don't be verbose, or it will be difficult to dig when you retract later."
Every April to September is the sandworm breeding season. In order to increase the fertilization rate, the sandworms in "Huaichun" climb out of the sand to mate.
Since they met each other, they must be wiped out at once. There are so many heads in the family, and it is not enough to catch more points.
Sandworm meat is crisp and tender, delicious, nutritious, rich in protein, especially the taste, and it is better than sea cucumbers and shark fins.
Because sea cucumber and shark's fin have no taste, you must add ingredients such as chicken or lean meat when cooking, otherwise it will be tasteless.
The sandworm has a delicious taste, and it is very distinctive without adding other ingredients. It can be cooked with anything, and it can bring out its fresh and sweet taste.
After drying, it can be fried, fried, stewed, stewed, or boiled in soup. The soup is as white as milk and has a very delicious taste and high concentration. It is called "natural monosodium glutamate". Deep-fried and crispy, it is very suitable for drinking.
Now sell it, it won’t fetch much price, but if you keep it to eat, it’s delicious, and it’s just good for Ah Qing to breastfeed.
He didn’t think it was disgusting even if he was wearing gloves. The small pieces in front of him got out of the surface of the sand, or those half-buried in the sand were caught by him and thrown into the sack.
After a while, the bottom of the sack was covered with wriggling sandworms, and the children's baskets were also densely packed.
Although the three girls were also caught there, they were full of disgust. They were not as excited and efficient as the boys.
While scratching, they kept muttering happily.
"so many…"
"A lot of them are still in the sand..."
"Just scratch the surface, there are many more over there..."
"Do you have this sandworm every day?" Lin Guangyuan was beaming, his eyes were shining brightly, and he enjoyed catching it.
"How can it be possible to have them every day? I can see them occasionally, but there are not so many clams. I pick them up every day."
"The same goes for crabs. Anyway, there are things to pick up on the beach when the tide is low."
Lin Guangyuan looked envious, "You guys are so nice here, you can pick up small seafood when you go out, and your mouth will be crooked..."
"Hahaha~" Ye Yaodong felt very funny listening to their childish words, "Turn all the sandworms in your basket upside down, it's almost full and it's hard to carry."
"I'm coming…"
One by one happily came over with full baskets and lined up to pour them. The boys were so stubborn that they even reached into the sacks to continue playing when they were pouring.
After emptying their baskets, Ye Yaodong weighed them with the sack in his hand, and he felt that they already weighed almost 20 catties. The efficiency is really high, and it only took a while.
You really shouldn’t underestimate the child laborers. They play with each other, and they are all very active.
"I'll fry a bowl for you when I go back later, as a reward!"
"Ah, great, dig more..."
After the children had this promise, each one of them became more active, carrying a basket and walking farther to catch it.
Ye Yaodong carried the sack to the side, picked up the shovel and continued to scrape the bottom of the boat, took a rest while catching sandworms, and now his arms are no longer sore.
There are still large pieces of spat barnacles on the bottom of the boat waiting for him to shovel them down. He has to hurry up and do it as soon as possible. A few children will be enough to catch the sandworms.
After catching the sandworms, call them over to continue picking them up, make the best use of them!
Cleaning the bottom of the boat is also a physical job, and you have to lift it up and use a shovel. The area of the bottom of the boat is not small, so Ye Yaodong works for a while and stops for a while.
When he stopped, he was not idle, he picked up the sack and picked it up first. He shoveled some juvenile shells, and the shells cracked, revealing small yellow-green sea oysters that looked like snot.
The shells of individual mussels were also cracked by him, revealing the fresh meat.
When he picked it up, he deliberately picked it out, and threw out the empty shells and cracked ones far away. After a while, he picked up half a sack of mussels and barnacles.
The shellfish at the bottom of the boat fell in pieces as he repeatedly stopped and stopped, and the bottom of the boat became more and more clean. After he pried everything out with great effort, he also picked up 2 full sacks.
He folded his hands together, put them by his mouth, and shouted loudly to the group of scattered friends, big and small: "Young ones, come back to work soon!"
"I'm coming…"
A group of older and younger children came running happily, but Ye Chengyang had short legs and was afraid of being left behind, so he ran and fell in a hurry, and all the sandworms in a small basket were poured out.
The moment the sandworms touch the sand, they all burrow into the sand.
Ye Chengyang burst into tears, "Ah, my sandworm~sandworm~"
Ye Yaodong trotted over to pick him up, "Run away, run away, there are a lot of sacks over there."
"No, my sandworm~"
Ye Yaodong looked at the hole on the surface of the beach, tried to shovel it, but he really took it out again, "Hey, I caught it, don't cry."
He stopped crying in an instant, his eyelashes were still wet, his eyes widened, and then he laughed through his tears immediately, "There is, there is."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
"Go to my brother's side to help pick it up, and I will catch it for you here."
"Yeah." He nodded in response, and then immediately went to everyone happily.
Ye Yaodong also stood up with an empty basket and followed behind.
Just fooling around, why bother to dig out? Children are very forgetful, and they will not remember after a while.
After handing over the work to the child laborers, Landlord Ye wandered around with his hands in his pockets, and within a short while he was eating a big ghost crab.
After throwing it into the sack, he strolled around with the basket in hand, and picked up a small basket of miscellaneous seafood in a short while.
"Third Uncle~"
"Little Uncle~"
"Father~ We have picked them up!"
"Okay? So fast?" Ye Yaodong took a look at the gills of a dull fish, and when it was still fresh, he threw it into the basket and walked back.
Seeing four full bags on the ground, one bag was only half full, and another bag filled with forty to fifty catties of sea worms, he was extremely satisfied and the efficiency was good.
Sure enough, it is useful to have more children. No wonder people kept having children in the past. This is the meaning of having children...
"Good job, we can also arrange to fry more!"
"Fry a washbasin, third uncle, fry more, or it won't be enough!"
"Then look for it again, catch more, more work will pay more! The more you catch, the more you can eat." Ye Papi called child labor mercilessly.
"Okay~"
"Be careful, don't go under the tide."
"Got it~"
A group of children were excitedly running around with their baskets in their hands. They fought hard for a bite to eat!
After sending them to continue working, Ye Yaodong walked back, he had to push a cart over, otherwise he would be exhausted from carrying it.
When Ye Mu saw him coming back, she murmured, "Where did he go? I haven't seen him for a long time. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and you don't know how to talk to him."
"Take some small ones to the beach..."
"I just know how to play, but I don't know how to greet people, just pat my **** and slip away..."
Ye Yaodong has a headache, can't he explain it? As soon as I saw him, I crackled and said.
"Can't you let me finish my sentence? I went to clean up the bottom of the boat, scraped some shells back, and wanted to bring them back later."
"Otherwise, I haven't gone to sea for so many days. The goods in the ground cage in the morning are sold except for Ah Qing's milk. There is nothing at home for them to take back. They send people away empty-handed. good."
Mother Ye had nothing to say, "Then don't say anything, why do you think you are going?"
"I stay at home every day, what else can I do? I pried several bags of shelled oysters, and later asked my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to help open sea oysters together, and caught 40 to 50 catties of sandworms, and everyone shared a share."
"So many sandworms today?"
"Well, it just happened to happen. A few children are still catching there. I'll come back and push a cart first, and push those shelled ones back first."
"Then you go quickly, the rice is just cooked, and you can add two more dishes to greet your in-laws later."
Ye Yaodong hurried to the beach again pushing the cart, and after carrying a few sacks onto the cart, he called all the child laborers back.
"Don't look anymore, go home."
"Huh? I'm home so soon, let's play for a while?" Lin Guangyuan looked up, then reluctantly looked at the surrounding beach, and ran away in surprise, picking up a sea oyster snail.
The others were also enjoying themselves, and they were reluctant to go back. They didn't even move their feet, and continued to stay where they were.
"Do you still want to eat fried sandworms? Go home and eat first, and then come back after eating."
"Then let's eat and come again!"
"Let's go, let's go home and eat fried sandworms~"
"Oh oh oh~ eat fried sandworms~"
As soon as they talked about food, they were willing to walk away.
