Chapter 33 Go to the pier to pick goods
Chatted with everyone for a while, until it was almost four o'clock, Ye Yaodong patted his **** and got up.
"I'm going to the pier to help pick the goods. You handle the seafood. I'll come back after I finish sorting the goods."
Ah Guang looked at him in surprise, "Are you really sensible?"
"roll!"
He took a big step and quickened his pace to walk towards the pier. The tide on the shore was rising at this point, and the fishing boat should be almost at the pier.
After arriving at the pier, there were already quite a few villagers on the shore, all of whom were family members who went out to sea, waiting for the boat to come back here to help pick goods.
Mother Ye was already waiting at the pier, and she was only satisfied when she saw Ye Yaodong coming.
I just waited for a long time and didn't see him. I thought this brat was listening to the wind again, and if he listened to it, it meant that there was still hope. He seemed to have improved a little these days.
Ye Yaodong also saw his mother, walked towards her, and said happily, "Mother, why are you here?"
"Isn't it worrying about you? What if you are disobedient or forget? Your father and elder brother have no one to help?"
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Are you trustworthy?"
The villagers next to him also smiled and said, "Dong also came out to help today?"
"That's how it should be. If you are busy at home, you should reach out if you have any work. Young people should be diligent and discerning."
He responded casually, keeping his eyes on the boats on the sea. There are not many people in his village with boats. Except for a few boats docked on the shore, most of them have sailed out to sea. The one in front came back head-on, it should be Is it his father's boat?
"Dongzi, is that your father's boat?"
"Really? Wait and see, it will land in a while."
The speed of the boat slowly slowed down, and they also saw the blue paint on the hull clearly, and they were sure that it was their boat.
Ye Yaodong and Ye Mu hurried down the stone steps, ready to pick up the goods later.
Father Ye on the boat also saw that the third son had come to help at the pier for the first time, but he didn’t say anything. After docking the boat, he and Ye Yaopeng moved the goods to them and asked them to carry them ashore first.
The first thing to be lifted off the boat was a basket of swimming crabs, followed by a basket of Pipi shrimp, and the rest were only a few kilograms of bulk cargo.
Like the big sword shrimp, it is estimated that it only weighs two or three catties, the small sword shrimp is worth more than ten catties, and there are two catties of small squid tubes. The water grain fish is large or small, and it needs to be sorted. It looks like it weighs more than ten catties. There are also four or five catties of small yellow croakers, and the rest are some small fish that are not very valuable.
No big shipments today, but the harvest looks good too!
After all the goods were lifted off the ship, Father Ye docked the ship to the side again, freeing up the docking position, and there will be ships coming in later.
Ye Yaodong and the others moved the goods into the purchase point. Portunus crabs are of different sizes and prices. They need to pour them out for sorting and tie the crab legs together with rubber bands.
When Father Ye and Ye Yaopeng were on the boat, they had already **** half of them in their spare time, but there were still some untied.
As soon as the swimming crabs were poured out, their feet were shaking and they were alive and kicking, looking very fresh.
He grabbed a few at random, and the backs were quite hard. "It's quite fat, and the small ones are also very hard and very fleshy."
"Recently, the crabs are very fat, and the prawns are also very fat. The meat is very full, and some of them have red paste."
The three of them quickly **** the crab legs and divided them according to size.
Mother Ye and Boss Ye were very surprised when they saw Ye Yaodong's quick movements.
When has he been doing this job? To be able to tie it so neatly, and the speed is not slower than them!
"Third brother, you're pretty fast? Can't tell!"
"Cut~ What's the point? You haven't seen it, but it doesn't mean I can't!"
"You bastard, you don't do the work at home, you go out to help others, right? You are so out of tune every day..."
Listening to his mother's thoughts, he didn't refute, alas, he should bear it all.
The big ones can be sold at a higher price, but the small ones are worthless.
They put the worthless small fish and shrimps in separate buckets, as well as some small conger eels and miscellaneous fish, and took them back, and dried the fish by the way.
After all the goods were weighed, Father Ye went to settle the accounts, and they took the fish home first.
"Mum, how much can these goods sell for today? There are more than 30 catties of crabs, big and small crabs, more than 20 catties of shrimps, and a few catties of shrimps. There are also some other fish products, which look very good."
"Today's delivery is very good. The big crabs are 3 cents, the smaller ones are 2 cents, the big shrimps are 35 cents, the small ones are 26 cents, and the shrimp are a little more expensive. 5 cents, plus those sevens and eights Eight items can be sold for about 30 yuan, but the diesel fee also costs two yuan, and the machine also costs, and it is easy to break and needs to be repaired frequently.”
"It's pretty good, I can save a lot in a month!"
Mother Ye squinted at him, "Do you think you can go every day, and you can gain so much every day? We rely on the sky to eat, how can we say anything about the sea, some of them sold it for only a dozen yuan yesterday."
"That's better than odd jobs."
Ye Yaopeng sincerely invited again, "The third child also takes turns to go to sea together? We rely on the sea to eat the sea, we have to learn from our father."
"Huh? You and the second brother learn first, and I will learn after you have met!"
Mother Ye opened her mouth to scold when she heard his evasion, but she stopped abruptly. This is at the pier. Seeing how hardworking he was today, let's bear with it for now.
After the family is separated, he must be asked to go to sea with him, and the money he earns now can be counted into the public house and used to build a house.
After the separation, the eldest and second son go out to sea with them, so they don’t get any money from them? The third child is idle all day long, and can only wait to starve to death, or wait for their old ones to be raised, what is this?
Other people's family is raising children to look after their old age, they have given birth to an ancestor!
Ye Yaodong didn't know his mother's slander, and slipped away as soon as he got to the door, leaving only one sentence, not eating at home tonight, anyway, he helped with the work that should be done today.
Mother Ye felt helpless, and felt that it was normal for the third child to behave like this. Today, she went to the homestead, went to the sea, and went to the pier to help. She was so diligent that she didn't know her.
Second Aunt Ye curled her lips, "I just looked a little more reliable, and ran away again!"
"Let him go. If he can help with things, it's already considered good. You pick out a bowl of fish and shrimp and send it to your mother's family, and kill the others. The big ones are braised in brown sauce, and the small ones are used to dry. The little ones Shrimp is the same, take a bowl to cook, and the other shells are peeled and dried in the sun, this kind of weather can’t be left tomorrow.”
The three daughters-in-laws all agreed. Lin Xiuqing's natal home was far away, and she didn't have the opportunity to deliver fish to her family. She could only watch the two sister-in-laws send fish back to her natal home, while she stayed to kill the fish.
Mother Ye waited for the two of them to walk away before saying to Lin Xiuqing, "See when you plan to return to your mother's house, and I will leave some good stuff for you to take back with you in advance."
"Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
…
Three sons, mother Ye has always tried to make a bowl of water level.

Insert Price Description:
I asked my dad specifically about the seafood prices in the 1980s. My grandparents were engaged in wholesale seafood at that time. At that time, my dad was eighteen or nineteen years old, and he followed my grandparents to the surrounding ports to buy seafood wholesale. It won't make much difference.
The only discrepancy is the yellow croaker. At that time, the yellow croaker was not worth as much as it is now. My dad said that the wild yellow croaker weighing one or two catties only sold for 60 cents per catty.
At that time, the master worker was paid more than 2 yuan a day, and the rough laborer was only more than 1 yuan a day. Even at this price, most people were reluctant to buy yellow croaker at that time, and only rich people could afford it.
At that time, seafood was only a few cents a catty, but most people were reluctant to buy it. After all, the salary was only one or two yuan a day. At that time, the dragon head fish (tofu fish) was only 6 cents a catty.
The price of large yellow croaker is written at the beginning of this book, which is actually a bit high, but it is also for the purpose of paving the way for the plot. Just take a look, don't compare it to the time, and only the price of cucumber fish is inflated.
This book will also continue to maintain the inflated price of yellow croakers, so hereby explain.
The price of the previous scalp shrimp has also been revised. Next time, we must ask the price before writing.
This is a digression. Let me tell you about the actual situation. The prices of other seafood are basically in line with the prices at that time.
My family doesn’t know that I’m writing a novel, so I’m too embarrassed to ask my dad about it, and now I’ve been chased by my family to ask about my novel (embarrassing)…
By the way, I would like to ask for a wave of collections and follow-ups. It would be even better if there is a reward. After all, during the new book period, there will be no manuscript fee if it is not on the shelves. Purely for love!
Thank you for your support! bow!
