Chapter 48 A boat full of shellfish (add more, please read more)
"I have good eyesight. Several crabs were covered with mud and hid in the tidal flats. I almost missed them." He admitted that he was really lucky, but part of it was his experience.
"At first, I was quite happy to catch a blue crab, but this comparison directly makes a big discount, and the little witch is the big witch." Ah Zheng shook his head and said depressedly.
"It's okay, the tide hasn't risen yet, let's go around the tidal flats again, hey~ Where's Fatty and Ah Guang?"
Xiaoxiao pointed to the beach by the reef, "Hey~ Fatty took a nap there."
Ye Yaodong turned sideways, looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw the fat man laying on the beach with his hands behind his head, and covered his face with his hat.
"Fuck, can this sleep? Is he a pig?"
"Isn't he just a pig?"
Speechless!
Under such a big sun, the sky can be used as a quilt and the ground can be used as a bed. He is really convinced!
"Ah Guang went to pick up small abalones. He thinks the goods on the reef are more suitable for him."
"Oh!" He also saw a pouting figure on the reef, "Then keep looking, the tide won't come up for a while, so I'll go and rest for a while."
As he said that, he walked towards the sand where he caught the sea centipede before. There was still a small half bucket of sea centipede he caught before, so he just took a break and continued to catch.
This thing doesn’t look disgusting, but it’s also delicious for gourmets.
There is no such thing on the beach in their village. Before the sea water rises up, he can continue to dig holes to catch a little more. I don’t know if their pier will accept it.
It’s fine if you don’t take it, as long as you don’t kill it, you can let it go for two or three days. There are so many people in his family, it’s estimated that it can’t be left for three days, and it will be wiped out in two days at most.
Strips of sea centipedes, some 20-30 centimeters long and only a few centimeters short, were caught out of the hole one after another by him.
"Are you still catching? It's not disgusting."
Ye Yaodong knew it was Ah Guang when he heard the voice, and said without raising his head: "It's okay to catch one by one, isn't it just a centipede in the sea, and it's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Do you want to sell so much? Or eat it yourself?"
"Let's see if A Cai accepts it. After all, we don't have this kind of thing at the pier. If you don't accept it, you can keep it for yourself."
Ah Guang looked at the bamboo basket beside him, "There are blue crabs, too. They are quite big. The harvest is good. I can barely earn my wages for a day."
"Speaking out, I'm envious of you. I caught seven of them, two females and five males. They were all meaty." Ye Yaodong was quite proud, and he never thought that Gudao would be so rich in products.
"What? Seven? What **** luck!"
Ah Guang stared wide-eyed in disbelief and shook the bamboo basket. Sure enough, he saw several large pliers from underneath.
"Ah Zheng and Chen Wei also caught one each, why don't you go around again, the tide is not full yet."
"Go, go now, tell me, where to catch it!"
Ye Yaodong pointed to him for reassurance, "There, but I basically turned around, you can go a little farther, I have never been to that direction."
"knew."
Ah Guang excitedly ran towards the direction he pointed. As long as the tide started to rise, it would rise quickly, not to mention the first day of the new year, and the water level did not drop very low today.
Ye Yaodong didn't expect that it was just a suggestion, but Ah Guang harvested two blue crabs, one of which was huge, a little bigger than his biggest one.
Come back with the envy of others.
Xiaoxiao joked: "Master Dongzi, you can give me some pointers anytime."
Ah Guang, on the other hand, said with a regretful face, "Oh, I went too late, I only found two and the tide came up, and the second one was almost washed into the sea by the tide, but luckily I was quick. "
"It's alright, you'll have two blue crabs all of a sudden, the fat man and the little one are gone, if I knew there were ones over there, I would have gone by myself," Ye Yaodong said with a smile and then reminded everyone, "Tide water We're all here, let's pack up our things and get on board."
"Let's go, go home, I'm starving to death."
"Me too, I'm so hungry."
"Woke up the fat man..."
"Throw him here as a savage and forget it..."
"Speaking so loudly, I thought I was deaf, didn't I hear?"
Everyone got on the boat first with their own buckets and tools, and then A Guang went to untie the rope, and used the bamboo pole on the boat to prop up the distance from the shore before starting the machine.
It's already three o'clock now, and it's been a whole day since we came out early in the morning.
"Traveling the sea was quite hard work. Fortunately, today's harvest was good, and it was not in vain." Chen Wei twisted his neck and said.
His temperament is not as lively as theirs, and usually they gag, and he doesn't talk much, only occasionally.
The fat man rolled his eyes, "Why do I think you're mocking me!"
"Hahaha, be more confident and remove the word "feeling." Ye Yaodong said with a smile.
Others couldn't help being happy too.
"Fatty, you might as well not come, look at your white and fat face, it's all tanned."
"What's wrong with a man being darker, but it's really too hot and too sunburnt, so I won't come next time."
"Tomorrow, I will go to Dongzi's homestead to help out..."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly said: "Hey, don't force it, who is willing to work under the sun in such hot weather, I don't force it, you can come or not."
The fat man said with some embarrassment: "I'll help out depending on the situation."
"It's okay, building a house is not a matter of a day or two. The family has hired workers, so you can do whatever you want."
Everyone nodded, anyway, it just depends on the situation to help.
The boat drove for more than ten minutes and arrived at the pier. After docking, they all got off the boat one after another, leaving only Ye Yaodong watching on the boat.
They want to go back and get sacks to load. There are several piles of shellfish they scavenged on the deck. By the way, they also need to push a cart over, otherwise it will be too heavy to take home.
While he was waiting, fishing boats came in one after another. It was already afternoon, and it was time for the fishing boats to come in.
They are all from the same village, so there is no one who doesn’t know him. Everyone greeted him one after another. Seeing that his boat was full of shellfish, they all asked a few questions curiously, but he prevaricated them all.
Seeing that they are all common on the reef, everyone didn't think it was surprising, but they thought there were too many, and the boat was full. Seeing that Ye Yaodong was not willing to say more, they didn't ask any more questions, but couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It’s just that these things are not worth much. There are few people in the village with boats, and there are many small wooden boats that are hand-cranked, and everyone’s boats are used for fishing to make money. Otherwise, there will be nothing left on the surrounding islands.
After waiting for a while, he saw his mother appearing on the shore, she must have come to wait for his father.
Mother Ye also saw him, called out quickly, and ran towards him, "Why did you just come back, and you've been gone for a whole day...why are there so many shells?"
Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes widened in surprise at the shelled objects piled up on the boat.
Don’t keep books, if you keep them, you might kill me, haha
