Chapter 54 Typhoon day rushing to the sea
Also bring a sack?
Is there a lot of goods?
Lin Xiuqing dubiously followed Ye Yaodong to the seaside. The tide had just receded a little bit, and it felt quite spectacular to watch the waves rolling in layer by layer from afar.
She has been married for 5 years, and she has never come to the shore during a typhoon. She is either pregnant or looking after children.
"Isn't it nice? The beach here is quite beautiful."
It was a typhoon day, and the sea water turned a little yellow.
"I didn't mean to come out to see if there was anything to pick up. I'm going down soon. I'll go back sooner. Who knows when it will rain heavily?" As he said that, he walked down to the beach.
Ye Yaodong looked at her back and shook his head, no interest!
"Ah, it's really worth picking it up!" Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised when she saw a huge clam at her feet as soon as she walked down the beach.
He took a few steps forward, "Didn't I lie to you? There is really something to pick up!"
Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look, "It's not worth much, and I ran out to pick it up during a typhoon. If only I had something good to pick up."
"Let's see if there are any in a while. The waves are so big, it's hard to guarantee that no seafood will be hit ashore."
"Um."
After walking a few steps forward, I picked up another big clam. Lin Xiuqing's face was glowing with joy. This was different from digging sand clams while squatting there. This one didn't need to be dug, and it was five or six times the size of sand clams. , It feels great to pick up things when you walk around.
Ye Yaodong also bent down to pick up one, "Hey, I have one here too, it's not as big as your two."
"Only pick this clam?"
"Let's take a walk and have a look."
According to his experience, the typhoon and the waves are strong, there should be some seafood rolled in and stranded on the beach, so he ignored the typhoon and ran out with her just as the tide had just receded.
"Fish... fish fish..." Lin Xiuqing pulled his arm excitedly, pointing to the waves ahead, "There..."
Ye Yaodong looked along her fingers, and saw a silly one jumped out of the water being swept up by the waves, and after the waves receded, this silly one was stranded on the beach and kept jumping.
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly stuffed the clam in his arms, and ran forward to pick up the fish, but saw that it was very slippery, and even fell down after holding it in her hands.
Just as a wave was about to hit again, Ye Yaodong stuffed the clams into his pocket, stepped forward and kicked the fish to the beach, hugged his wife in his arms, and used his back to help her block the wave.
A big wave hit his back, pouring him a chill, the sea water dripped directly from his forehead, and Lin Xiuqing was protected by him in his arms, her body was not hit by the waves, only the sea water on his head Water dripped on her face.
Lin Xiuqing blinked her eyes and looked at him in surprise, "Are you okay? Why...you still protect me from the waves, I'm soaked, go back and change your clothes..."
He wiped the seawater off his face, and said indifferently: "It's okay, just take it off, you picked up that stupid one, it looked like it weighed five or six catties, took it back, half marinated and half boiled at noon Fish Soup."
"Oh, good."
In fact, the scientific name of this fish is sea herring and herring, but the local people call it dumb fish, and most often call it stupid. It is very cheap. Later generations, people in this village go to the wharf to buy it for five yuan a catty, and outsiders buy it for eight yuan. A catty of money may cost 4-5 cents now.
As for why it is called silly, it is entirely because it is silly!
There is no fish more silly than this.
When the fishing boat is sailing on the sea, the fish will often be delivered to the door by itself, jumping onto the deck to give the fishermen additional meals.
This kind of thing happens not once or twice, it happens too often, so the local fishermen call it stupid.
Lin Xiuqing failed to catch it several times, and was bounced by its tail and fell on the beach.
Ye Yaodong took out the sack in his pocket and shook it, opened it towards Shadai, kicked it and went into the sack, and threw a few clams into it by the way.
"If I knew it earlier, I would have taken a bucket. If I put it in a sack, I would have died."
"It doesn't matter if you take it back later and kill it. Are you going to fetch a bucket of water and keep it? Doesn't it sink? It's not worth anything. Let's go."
"All right."
Before taking two steps, Ye Yaodong saw a small piece of golden tail protruding from a rock, he pulled his wife, "Look here..."
Lin Xiuqing also saw it instantly, "Ah, it's pomfret! It's so big!"
"Well, golden pomfret! It's not small, weighing more than one catty, but unfortunately it's not white pomfret. White pomfret is delicious!" He bent down and opened its gills to look at it. It was bright red, which meant it was still fresh. Just dead, can be included in the bag.
Golden pomfret looks better than white pomfret, but it is not useful.
The meat of white pomfret is more delicate and tender, while the meat of golden pomfret is relatively rough and thicker, but white pomfret is generally small in size, usually within 1 catty, and golden pomfret is generally more than one catty or larger.
The price of white pomfret will double as long as it exceeds 6 taels, and the market can sell it for 120+ during the fishing moratorium.
It’s good to have something to gain. Lin Xiuqing doesn’t choose whether it’s golden pomfret or white pomfret. After all, he just got a lot of money.
"When the typhoon came out, there were indeed things to pick up. If I knew it, I would have called my sister-in-law and sister-in-law out."
Ye Yaodong pouted, what did he ask them to do?
Being a light bulb?
It is rare for the couple to come out for a leisurely walk. They have never been alone so easily since they were reborn. He didn't plan to call anyone else just now.
"Go down, the tide has receded a little."
Just as he was about to go down with the tide, the small pool under the stone that he picked up the white pomfret suddenly swayed in a circle of ripples, "Wait...I'll move this stone away to have a look."
"Have something?"
"It is possible that the tide has just ebbed, and these low-lying places with stones are more likely to have stranded seafood."
Lin Xiuqing also squatted down curiously to watch him move the stone.
"Ah, it's the little blue crab."
Ye Yaodong also saw it, it was really small, maybe not even half a catty, but it was still a blue crab, better than a stone crab.
"Do you dare to catch it?"
"Don't dare, I'm afraid of its big pincers."
"Just scratch its back, it won't be able to bite."
He grabbed it and handed it to her violently, scaring her back and sitting on the beach, "What are you doing!"
"Scare you."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, patted her buttocks, stood up and walked forward without paying attention to him.
Ye Yaodong quickly threw the blue crab into the bag and followed her.
"Hehe, are you angry?"
"No, hurry up and look for it, the sky is cloudy again, and it will rain again soon."
The two bent down frequently on the beach following the tide. They were all clams, and they were the biggest ones. It was so cool to pick them up.
Many times they just picked up one and threw it into the bag, when the waves came up again, the clam was also rolled up and rolled on the beach. If they moved a little slower, it might have rolled into the sea again with the tide.
