Chapter 452 Good price one step ahead (two chapters merged into one chapter)
The folks were envious when they saw that he had netted 70 to 80 catties of scallops in just a few hours, no wonder that old Wang wanted to steal them.
Everyone was a little worried that the things he dragged into his arms might be shells. After all, all the things he netted were real and alive, so wouldn’t the rest be shells?
That is to say, there are too many people, and there are too many shells, and there is no way to pick them one by one slowly. With that sorting skill, the people next to them have already hugged a sack.
Ye Yaodong looked at the heavy fishing net in his hand, and the scallops inside were crowded and piled up in the middle, and he was also very happy.
He also just watched the scallops running into the sea, and felt that it was a pity, so he planned to try pulling two fishing nets casually.
Anyway, he doesn’t know how to do white work, and he can net a little less if he doesn’t have one, but he didn’t expect that when he spread out a fishing net with a diameter of less than 10 meters, he could actually net a net of seventy to eighty catties.
earned it.
He grinned happily, and moved the net closer to Father Ye, his ears were filled with envious comments from the villagers.
The nets that his friends helped collect had already been collected first. Together, they grabbed one corner and walked towards him.
"Should the fishing net be put on the cart together with the scallops? Do you want to pour it out first?" A Guang asked.
"No need to pour it out, just put the fishing net and the scallops on the cart, and wait for us to push it back and then pour it out."
Ye Yaodong was talking, and at the same time stretched his neck to look at the goods in their fishing nets. There were quite a lot of them, which should be similar to those in his net.
He also went into the water to catch half a sack, this morning, at least he also caught more than one sack.
Those villagers don’t think there are quite a lot of sacks in one sack, maybe pick and choose, the scallops in it may not be as many as his two nets.
It’s really not in vain, there are four rows of ground cages on the shore, so I can net a little more if I don’t say anything.
"You are really good, Dongzi, everyone is scratching shells desperately there, but you are better, first put the net into the water to catch the living ones."
"That's right, what time did you wake up? The ones who lived by the beach were the first ones you discovered?"
"Should there be no shortage of shells?"
"Should have picked up a lot of fish, right? I heard that everyone said that they picked up a lot of big fish on the beach where they came early. You are right in front of your house."
"Yeah, how many fish did you pick up? What's there? I heard that someone picked up a mouse spot just now."
After they put the fishing nets on the cart, they gathered around and asked questions one by one.
The surrounding folks were also talking there, and I don’t know who said something, saying that they caught a lot of fish last night when the typhoon was blowing and the waves were blowing.
Now the folks asked again.
"Really? I heard people say that when the typhoon blew last night, a lot of fish came to the shore, and how many households in your seaside ran out to pick them up?"
"Really? So brave, come out when the typhoon blows?"
"I heard that the waves brought up all the fish, and the typhoon blew there again. The fish were like dumplings..."
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
The fat man couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and asked Ye Yaodong again: "Really? It's like making dumplings, isn't this nonsense?"
Xiao Xiao touched his chin, looked at the scallops in the bowl, and thought, "It's possible, you see, the waves rolled up all kinds of shells and pushed them to the seashore, forming a white coastline. Roll the fish in the sea Come up, what's the point?"
Ye Yaodong and his father finished gathering the fishing nets, then lifted them onto the cart, and replied casually, "I started setting out the nets as soon as I came out in the morning, and it's not too late for everyone. Some people came out to watch the tide just after dawn, and then landed one after another. If you continue to spread it to ten, ten to a hundred, there will be more people."
Father Ye also said: "Everyone has a lot of bags, let's let... let let..."
"Then you really came out to pick up fish when the typhoon hit last night? Did you really make dumplings?"
"It's not just dumplings, it's almost a sacrifice to the Sea Dragon King."
"ah?"
"Excuse me, I don't have time to elaborate on this, you can ask other people", he is busy with his work, how can he stand there and chat, "You pile up those things casually, you are not afraid of being stolen, go back and guard Otherwise, if someone else steals it away, you won’t have a place to look for it.”
Some people saw their family members coming with carts, and ran over one after another. Some were afraid that their things would be stolen by people who took advantage of the troubled waters, so they went back to guard, but the people around them were still standing there.
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the time when they turned their heads to look at his goods, and seeing some people had already left, he pushed the cart towards the wide gap, walked towards his home, and greeted his friends.
"Thank you, I'll push it back first. If you want to use a cart, come and push it later."
"I just want to borrow it everywhere, so I'll go with you." Ah Zheng said hastily.
"Then who watches your things?"
"My father, my mother asked some of my sisters to borrow a scooter. I don't know when I can borrow it. You should hurry here."
"Yes."
Anyway, after taking back his things, he had to sort them out and pack them up before he could sell them.
Seeing that he was busy, the others didn't ask any further questions. Only Ah Zheng was about to use the cart, so they followed him back.
The two chatted while walking, and Ye Yaodong also told him about the typhoon last night, and they took the risk to pick up fish, which made Ah Zheng both surprised and envious.
"You can really see the opportunity to make a fortune, so what happened to your elder brother?"
"I was scared to death, so I went home, and he didn't come out later, so we picked it up there."
"It's danger that comes with opportunity. The higher the risk, the greater the reward. Fortunately, the typhoon and big waves didn't blow away your house."
"Just talking nonsense, they are all stone houses, how can they be blown away? It is possible that the roof will be blown away."
Ye Yaodong pushed the cart to the door of the house, and asked his father to take away the rear fender, and then lifted the handles on both sides, so that the cart stood up, and all the scallops and fishing nets on it slid to the ground in an instant.
"Give it back to me as soon as you use it up, I have to sell the goods."
"knew."
Mother Ye was also surprised when she saw the scallops all over the floor, "How many hours have you put your fishing nets? Now that you have received so much?"
Others also came over to take a look, and were also surprised.
"That's quite a lot? These scallops can really run..."
Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but also worried, "If you can run so much alive, then what we bring back by dragging are all shells?"
Second Aunt Ye frowned and patted her thigh, "Oh, I said, why is there a pile of shells after picking out half the bag? The meaty ones are just a thin layer at the bottom of the bamboo basket."
Mother Ye glanced at the piles of shells piled up on the ground next to her, and there were various shellfish and clams picked out by children in containers such as washbasins and baskets.
The scallops are indeed only covered with a thin layer at the bottom of the bamboo basket, and there are more sea oyster shells than scallops in the other baskets on one side.
"Hey, why do you have so few scallops? My scallops are half and half empty shells. No wonder you just kept saying that they are all shells."
Ye Yaodong took off his wet trousers, only wearing a vest and shorts, stepped forward and took a look: "Did the bag you poured out be picked up at the back? Maybe there will be less fleshy ones picked up at the back, and the ones picked up in the front Faster, less scallops run, and a little more."
Everyone listened to this explanation, and felt that it seemed to be quite reasonable. Those who could run ran away, and the empty shells that could not run away were just piled up there?
Second sister-in-law Ye didn't know when the bag she was picking out was drawn, so she could only continue picking depressedly.
Ye's mother also comforted: "After you finish picking and looking, anyway, it's not a waste of work. It took only three hours to pick out so many things. These few bags can be sold for a lot of money after picking, which is also earned. "
Sister Ye couldn't help but said: "That's right, you picked up so many fish last night, those several baskets can be sold for a lot of money, and we don't have any."
She is also very regretful and uncomfortable. Seeing that everyone picked up so many goods last night, but their house only has one bucket, she feels like a cat scratching her heart. She almost ran out to pick it up last night.
Second Sister-in-law Ye immediately regained her balance when she heard the words, and a smile appeared on her face.
Everything depends on comparison.
Human psychology is like this, I get less, and hear less from you when I feel sad, then I am comfortable and directly comforted.
"Ah Hua just pushed the fish to the pier, and I don't know when I can come back, and I don't know how much I can sell it for?"
"Inevitably, my family doesn't even have half a basket."
The more she talked, the more depressed she became, so Mrs. Ye simply stopped talking and went back to her pile of shells to continue picking.
In the end, they saw the three children take advantage of her getting up to go to Ye Yaodong's cart to look at the scallops, laughing and throwing the clams they picked out, you hit me, I hit you, having a great time.
The clams were thrown all over the ground by them, and one of them hit her chest, and she suddenly became angry. She was in a bad mood, and these three hit the muzzle of the gun.
When the three of them found out that they had smashed their old lady, they trembled in fright and stood up immediately.
If there are special effects, you can definitely see the raging fire burning behind Mrs. Ye.
Looking at their mother's lowered faces, the smiles on their faces instantly turned into shock, the skin on their bodies tensed involuntarily, and their voices trembled.
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
"Mother...it was thrown by Ye Chenghe...you hit him..." Ye Chenghai resolutely betrayed his younger brother, and then tried to take a detour and run towards the old lady.
"Ah, big brother, you don't show loyalty," Ye Chenghe looked at his mother as if transformed into a fire-breathing dragon, shivered in fear, and quickly shirked responsibility, "Mother, don't blame me, big brother throws it at mine first..."
Sister Ye was furious, and picked up the bundled bamboo strips that the old lady had just thrown in the corner.
She will catch whoever runs fastest.
Ye Chenghai was frightened to death when he saw his mother running towards him, "It's none of my business! It was Ye Chenghe who smashed it."
"I will be angry with me every day, and I won't be serious if I tell you to do some work. What's the use of raising you, just beat you to death, no one can worry..."
"Why is it always me who gets beaten..."
"The worst thing is you... You didn't take the lead... If you don't hit me, who will you hit? Get out of here..."
"don't want…"
Ye Chenghe heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his old lady chasing and beating his elder brother, while Ye Jingjing shrank her neck and stood silently in the corner, fearing that the fish in the pond would be hurt.
When Ye Chenghai ran to the old lady, he found that the old lady was sitting there. He had nowhere to hide, and the old lady had no intention of protecting him, so he hid towards Father Ye.
Father Ye didn't care about his daughter-in-law beating his son, he beat his son himself.
Ye Chenghai hid twice beside Ye's father, and when he saw that he was about to be caught, he hid behind Ye Yaodong again.
Still grabbing the back of his clothes and dodging, yelling, "Third Uncle, save me ~ save me ~"
Ye Yaodong didn't care about the farce next to him. He was pouring out the scallops from the fishing net, but there was an extra tail at the back that kept pulling on his clothes, affecting his work.
He turned around, took Ye Chenghai and sent it to Aunt Ye, and then ignored it.
Ye Chenghai was caught off guard, and after being shocked, he howled loudly, "Ah... third uncle... mother... oh~ oh~ I mistrusted you, third uncle~"
"It's so noisy, sister-in-law give me two more hits."
Ye Chenghai looked at him with tears in his eyes, "You still told my mother to beat me, it's too much, you don't show loyalty, I will never go to your house to play again."
"That's just right, I just happened to be quiet, if the tide goes out tomorrow, don't look for me."
"Huh?" Ye Chenghai also thought of his third uncle helping him hide his private money last time, so he didn't dare to say anything, and silently accepted the baptism of the whip.
The three members of Ye Yaohua's family, seeing Ye Chenghai being beaten, gloated and laughed at Ye Chenghai without any brotherhood.
But sadness always comes so suddenly, especially Ye Chengjiang, who is smiling the happiest, suddenly got a slap on the back of the head.
"Are you doing things there with your eyes closed? You can't do anything well, and you throw it around. If you have the nerve to laugh at others, you will be the next one to cry."
The three Ye Chengjiang brothers and sisters were all honest in an instant.
Ye Yaodong saw that none of the children in this litter was worry-free, and then looked at his own two. Compared with these two, it seemed that they didn't need to be beaten so much.
After he poured out the two nets of scallops, he handed them over to his father for bagging.
There is no need to pick the size. Anyway, if you pull it outside the dock, you will naturally pick it before weighing it, so as to prevent someone from messing with the water and getting into the empty shell.
And he tidied up the fishing net and returned it to others first.
Lin Xiuqing said at this time: "When you returned the fishing net, you carried two watermelons over by the way. You borrowed someone else's fishing net. Let me tell you by the way."
"I know."
At this time, Mother Ye muttered, "You saved someone last night, and I didn't see them coming to thank you..."
"Why are you in a hurry? Maybe they won't be able to spare their hands? Don't you push the door out early in the morning and rush to the beach, even ignoring breakfast, and it's not until now that you push all the goods back."
Father Ye also echoed: "That's right, one size counts for one size. Saving people is saving people. You have to be grateful for using other people's things."
"Are you making a mistake? The fishing nets are not those of the four who fell into the water. How could they be involved? A sensible person will naturally come to thank you when he has free hands."
"I just said that, and you all answered me with ten sentences, and I didn't say that I shouldn't."
Seeing that they were quarreling quickly, the old lady quickly changed the subject and said, "Dongzi and your father haven't eaten yet, so go back to eat first, and come back to work after eating. Your mother and the others also went back to eat just now, you A big guy, how can he suffer from hunger..."
Her eyes were on Ye Yaodong from the beginning to the end, it was obvious that Ye's father was just passing by.
"Got it, get busy here first."
"Where can I finish cooking in a while, you go to eat first..."
"Understood, I'll return the net first, so don't do it, Xiao Jiu is still sleeping in the room, go in and take a look, she will roll over now, don't let her roll under the bed."
"Hey, okay..." The old lady quickly put down what she was doing and went into the house.
The elderly are not afraid of working, but they are afraid that their family members will not let her work, making her feel that she is useless and useless.
The car was borrowed, and before it was returned, Ye Yaodong put the tidied nets back into the bamboo basket, then went home and carried two watermelons into another basket, and carried Chaolan's heel on a pole. Zhou's second son went to his house.
Several households were sitting at their respective entrances, and everyone gathered around to sort out shells. After seeing him come to return the fishing net, the few people who fell into the water all expressed their gratitude, saying that they were busy and couldn’t spare time to come to thank them.
After being polite, Ye Yaodong chatted with them a few more words to satisfy their curiosity, and told them about how many catties of scallops were caught in the fishing net before returning to his home.
As for whether they will regret it? Do you have any ideas? Or what is said behind the scenes? He didn't want to guess, anyway, on the surface, everyone is good neighbors.
By the time he finished returning the fishing nets and returned to the door, the cart had already been returned, and he and Father Ye entered the house non-stop to carry the fish.
Last night, everyone sorted it out, and kept two baskets for the worthless ones, and picked out five baskets for the ones that could be sold, especially the large white pomfret and the golden-eyed bream lying on it, which were more than half of the baskets, looked particularly eye-catching. , White and red, the smell of money is particularly strong.
"Mom, there are still two baskets of worthless fish, shrimps and crabs at home. You can see if you want to send some to relatives later. There is a red light in front, and there is no sun now, so I don't know when it will come out." The sun, even if there is no weather, you are afraid that it will stink in the sun, so you can figure it out and take advantage of the freshness."
"Understood, I will pick up a few and send them to your aunts and uncles later. I haven't been out to sea for a few days, and I don't know when the waves will recede. It's just right to send them two bowls of food."
Just when Ye Yaodong finished carrying the fish, shrimp and crab, and was about to carry the scallops, the old lady came out with the porridge. Besides mustard, there were two specially fried poached eggs on it, which looked very appetizing.
"I told you to eat early, but you haven't eaten for half a day, so hurry up and eat while it's hot, or you won't know when you'll be busy all of a sudden."
"Why did it come out..." Ye Yaodong watched the old lady's hands shaking the porridge, and quickly took it, "I'll eat it now... I'll eat it..."
Mother Ye pursed her lips and muttered, "I'm already in my 20s, and I'm still chasing after food..."
Ye Yaodong quickly pawed and pulled, and ate it with big mouthfuls, and the bottom was bottomed out after three or two strokes.
But the old lady stretched out her hand to touch his stomach, muttering, "I didn't eat all morning, just a bowl of porridge, can I be full? My stomach is still flat after eating, I'll go in and fill you up, eat more ..."
"No need, just pad your stomach, and you will have lunch soon. If you eat now, you will not be able to eat lunch again."
"How old is he, can he still be hungry? Don't worry about it, don't get in the way, busy, treat him as a three-year-old child?" Father Ye couldn't see the old lady's caring appearance, and said a few words.
Ye Yaodong stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into the old lady's arms, sent her into the house, and then pushed the cart to the outside of the pier.
Along the way, there are also a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs scattered along the way. It seems that a lot of seafood was rolled up outside the pier last night. Everyone went to the beach to carry shells early in the morning. The goods outside are not cheap. Who, who picked it up?
At this moment, there are only some cheap and unsightly goods left, which are cheaper. The ducks who are pecking at the side are lucky today, and they can have a hearty meal.
The father and son family pushed the cart to the outside of the pier, but failed to pick up a fish that could catch the eye, and they were all swept away by the wind and cloud.
There are also a lot of seabirds flying around the shore. From time to time, some seabirds swoop down and grab small fish on the ground. Ye Yaodong can't help but wonder if all the fish caught by the waves on the beach will get into these In the mouth of a seabird?
That would be a waste of money.
"Father, Dongzi, you guys are out too." Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also sold out the goods they picked up last night at this time, and pushed the cart towards them.
Looking at Ye Yaohua's face full of spring breeze, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. The price must be very high, but Ye Yaopeng doesn't have such a big smile.
"Yes, how much do you sell? Just sell the ones you picked up yesterday? How much is a catty of scallops? Do you have any questions?"
Ye Yaohua smiled happily, "The pile of shells hasn't been sorted out, and we don't have scallops to sell, so we just sell the fish, shrimps and crabs we picked up last night. There has been a typhoon these few days, and there are few seafood in the market, and the price is pretty good. For scallops, it is said to be 30 cents per catty, and 30 cents for small ones."
Ye Yaopeng added: "But I heard from Ah Cai that this was the price before the typhoon a few days ago. When the typhoon hit last night, so many scallops were suddenly hit by the waves, and the price may drop a lot. It is necessary to collect it first, take it to the market to have a look, and then determine the price.”
"He said that the quantity of this scallop is so large, no matter which one receives the goods, the price will definitely be the same, so everyone can rest assured to give him the goods."
Father Ye nodded, "It's normal. There are so many of them suddenly, and it's normal for the price to drop."
"Let's push it over first, and we have to pick it. While there is no one at the pier, everyone is still picking at home, so there is no need to line up, so sell it and go back to work."
Ye Yaodong could already imagine how crowded the pier would be in the afternoon.
A Cai was also surprised to see that they sent over a sack of scallops early in the morning, "I heard that you put the nets on the beach early in the morning. Are these collected from fishing nets?"
"right."
"Young people have good brains, this is one step faster! They are still picking up shells at home for a long time, and you have already sent them here first."
Ye Yaodong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I sent it here early, can you arrange to send it away earlier? Sell it earlier, while there are still few in the market, can the price be higher?"
In the afternoon, everyone will send them all at once. The quantity is so large, and the price will definitely drop by then.
Ah Cai smiled obscenely, and tapped him twice with his index finger, "The brain turns pretty fast."
"Is that so?"
"Well, just now other people sent a lot of fish over, and they all live by your beach. You really braved the typhoon to go out to pick up fish yesterday, and you were bold. You deserve to get rich. It happens that there are enough fish, so you can Send it away with a tractor, and take advantage of the lack of seafood during the typhoon, you can sell it at a good price."
Ye Yaodong was also happy after getting an affirmative answer.
It is really wise to put a net in the sea to catch live scallops. One step ahead of others, this one hundred catty cargo can also be sold at a good price.
