Chapter 448 Fish Snatching
When lowering the ground cages in the shallow water by the beach, Ye Yaodong pushed a cart along the shore to carry the ground cages, and picked up a lot of big fish, small fish, shrimps, crabs, conchs, and it was only a short distance away. I can't hold it with both hands.
After the wind and waves swept by the beach, many remaining fish and shrimps were stranded. Last night, they only picked up around their own door, and the places farther away became caught fish. There are always those who were not swept back into the sea by the wind and waves.
I don’t know if the neighbors around got up early to patronize them. It wasn’t completely bright before, and if there were, they probably didn’t patronize them thoroughly. He simply asked Lin Xiuqing to look around the beach first.
Anyway, he has already set up a net in the sea, those scallops that escape will only fall into his net, and those shells that cannot escape will still not escape.
Father Ye saw what he was doing. After laying two nets in the sea, he went to the house and pushed the cart out to move the floor cage, and ran over to help.
"What's the use of putting the ground cage here?"
Ye Yaodong asked: "Where is it useful? The typhoon has just passed, and the waves outside are big, and there is no way to take it outside. Just put it on the shore. The tide is so high, and the waves rushing up I can catch some fish and shrimp."
"I can still catch some escaped scallops. It's a pity that there are no other large fishing nets at home. It is better to have a seine net. Spread it out to ensure that those scallops cannot escape."
"Tossing around, there are so many piles on the shore, not only scallops, but also various shells, and conch, if you don't go there to move, how much can you net in the sea."
"Didn't you underestimate it? There are so many shells on the shore, and the buildings are so high. It would be good if half of them have meat. My net is designed to catch scallops that can run away, and there are fresh ones. Maybe the harvest will be better."
Father Ye didn’t argue with him, so let’s let them go. Anyway, they picked up a lot last night, and this morning they were one step ahead of the villagers, and they had already picked up five baskets of shells.
Maybe he can really net him a lot, just now he also saw those scallops in the sea running exceptionally fast.
People in the village who ran out in twos and threes and then ran back to get tools also brought many family members and neighbors back again.
Before we even reached the beach, we saw the coastline made of shells, and we were all surprised from ear to ear.
It is a white curved line, piled up along the coast, in stark contrast to the stones, silt, sea sand, and turbid yellow sea water, as if a white ribbon separates the sea water from the stone silt.
Suddenly everyone was excited.
"Oh, you're right, it's really piles of shells..."
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, someone is already picking it up."
"There must be a lot of conch shells. Big scallops can also sell for some money. It's okay to pick up some sea oyster shells and go back to open them..."
"Ah! Yellow snapper! There is a yellow snapper."
Just as I was trotting towards the beach, someone saw a yellow snapper, which was not too small. Now everyone began to pay attention to their heels.
"Big white pomfret, there are 2 big white pomfrets, they must have been hit by waves..."
"You're lucky... oh my god, there are white pomfrets here too... there's a little shark there, it's so small..."
"This Pipi shrimp has no meat, this sea oyster snail is big, ah... it's a hermit crab..."
"Ah... Chunziyu, this big..."
"Wow, this one of yours is big, it can sell a lot..."
Before running to the front, everyone couldn't wait to look around.
While they were walking, they looked around to see if there were any good products around.
The prices of big white pomfret, yellow bream, spring croaker, etc. are not low, and they are all high-quality fish. They are no less attractive than the low coastline made of shells. Picking up two at random may be worth more than hugging a basket of shells.
Many people ran out of the village one after another. After seeing the harvest of others, they were not in a hurry to run to the coast and searched around first.
The shell over there looks so long, you can dig it out slowly, don’t worry, there are not many people who have heard the news now that the sky is dark, and some are probably recovering from sleep.
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father also picked up while setting up the ground cage. When they passed by and saw something valuable by the beach, he picked it up and threw it on the cart.
It’s quite impressive for them to go ashore to push the cart and pick up the ground cage so occasionally. Before the ground cage is finished, there are already a dozen good fish, a dozen conch shells, and some slightly larger miscellaneous fish piled up on the cart.
There are also seven or eight blue crabs that are crawling. These are all picked up by him and his father on the shore, and some were picked up by the waves.
There are also many swimming crabs on the shore, but they are already dead, so he doesn't want them anymore.
In the village, one person spreads the message to ten, ten to one hundred. At first, there were not many people, but more and more people came later.
By the time Ye Yaodong spent an hour putting the four rows of ground cages into the water along the shoreline, the shore was already crowded with people picking up shells. It felt like everyone in the village, except for the elderly, Basically all the kids come.
There are still waves on the beach, and the water level is high. Even if there is no wind or rain, adults still won’t let children come to the beach.
Just as Ye Yaodong was taking off his coir raincoat and walking towards the scooter, there were sudden curses not far from the shore, louder and louder, as if two women were scolding each other.
Anyway, he had already finished his work, so he and Father Ye walked over curiously, but they didn't expect to hear some familiar voices.
It seems that two women are fighting for fish, or grouper?
"Who said you saw it first? Obviously I caught it first, it's mine..."
"Fuck you, you're blind, you didn't see anything, the old lady saw it first and walked over, then you found out and rushed over to **** it, but you couldn't **** it from me, and it all went into my bucket, you still have the nerve to say yours? You still asked me to return it to you, are you pretending to be **** in your mind?"
"You shameless fat woman, you are the one who hit me with your ass..."
The fat woman interrupted her first, "What's wrong with me, what's wrong with being fat? You can't eat the meat all over your body if you want to eat it, you poor ribs, washboard, just touch it lightly and you will lose weight!" Get down and eat mud, who is to blame?"
"That grouper is mine. I caught it just now. I caught it first. You shameless fat woman snatched it from me..."
"It's ridiculous. I read it first. I ran over to **** mine. How dare I say yours? And I said that I will hit you with my ass. It's because your **** gave birth to a son. Sitting dead is fine."
"Folks, judge, I'm in her hands, and she squeezed me away... This is our family's life-saving money, my man is still lying in bed and taking medicine..."
A quarrel can't quarrel with others, this woman can only wipe her tears and show sympathy.
The fat woman scorned her disdainfully, "Which man is in your family? Didn't you find another man to support the family?"
"You have to be reasonable. Whoever discovers it belongs to him. You can't **** other people's fish just because one of your men is lying on the bed, and you want me to let you. Why? I'm not your gangster." Damn, I still have to support you! If you have time to fight with me, you might as well go to the beach to catch more shells."
During the conversation, the fat woman softened her attitude a bit, and stopped swearing, and planned to leave with the bucket.
"You can't go..." Seeing that she was going to leave, the woman kicked her bucket angrily and unwillingly, and cursed with her hands on her hips, "You shameless fat woman is ugly, you want money to sell yourself. One is more profitable than anything else... and you want to grab my one..."
The fat woman saw the bucket come out of her hand and fell all over the ground. Before she could react, she heard her scolding so badly.
Ye Yaodong stood outside the crowd and listened to the voice and scolding. The more he heard it, the more he felt familiar. It seemed like the fat man's wife? They couldn't find a few fat women in the whole village.
He tiptoed to look, good guy, she really is the fat man's wife.
The **** directly grabbed the woman by the hair and slapped her face twice. The woman also stretched out her hand and scratched the fat wife's face non-stop. The two women wrestled together instantly. pull frame.
Half of the woman's face was covered with mud, but how did he feel that the woman looked a little familiar? And just now you talked about playing tricks?
At this time, Father Ye said: "Oh? Isn't that A Shengla helping his wife?"
Um? !
He instantly remembered that this was Wang Lizhen, the wife of Ye Yaosheng, the second cousin of his second uncle's family.
This cousin is in his 30s, his wife has been married for more than ten years and has not given birth to children. She doesn’t even have a daughter. She prays to God and worships Buddha everywhere. , poisoned himself to death.
And this Wang Lizhen, a man who went to work in the city last year, ended up falling from a tall building and was half dead. The medical expenses exhausted the family's wealth, and there was no one to support the family. So he asked the man to agree, and after a match, he found a strong man to help support the family. This is his second uncle. My cousin.
The main reason is that this woman was able to bear sons, two in three years, three in five years, and three sons in a row, but one fell into the sea and the other fell into the well, and only one survived.
Ye Yaosheng has been unable to give birth to his wife all these years, and spending money on medical treatment has exhausted his family fortune. At this age, he can’t afford to marry a young girl. Anyway, he is going to marry a widow or get divorced. It’s better to find someone who can have a son.
Listening to what he just said, the man hasn't hung up yet. When the man is gone, Ye Yaosheng can marry her as a formal couple and continue to live. This is just playing tricks.
There are still such things these days, but they will disappear in the future.
He still remembers that Wang Lizhen later gave birth to three daughters in a row to his cousin, who was fined to death...
"Go up and help fight, why are you standing there stupidly?" Father Ye also stepped forward to help fight after recognizing the person.
"How can I pull... just let those women fight..."
Ye Yaodong watched the two of them tugging and tugging, they were so exposed that they almost tore off their clothes, how dare he step forward as a big man.
