Chapter 98 My **** little red hand
"Let's not talk about it, there is no ice on the boat, so it's not easy to keep it fresh. While this sea pig is still fresh, I'm going to row back quickly. It looks like it weighs thirty or forty catties, and it can be sold for a few dollars. Slow down Slowly throw the Internet cafe here."
"Huh? Is the isolated island gone?" Ah Zheng was determined.
"I can't go there. I visited several small islands, but the tide hasn't receded. It's quite steep. It's not easy to go to the island, and the rocks are also slippery. It's not safe. Let's talk about it on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year."
The three had no choice but to give up after hearing the words.
"I'm leaving, you guys do a good job!"
"Fine."
When he went to Ah Cai with two buckets, Ah Cai also praised him for his good luck, and he was able to catch a sea pig with just one bucket.
The scientific name of the sea pig is the finless porpoise. It is a chubby, chubby creature with strange tentacles. It can grow to about 150 centimeters in length and weigh two to three hundred kilograms. Its body is lead gray or off-white.
The one he picked up was quite small, probably only about seventy or eighty catties.
As soon as Ah Cai checked the scale, he was only 72 catties.
"This is 30 cents a catty for you, okay? This is already the highest price I can give, don't bargain with me..."
Every time he sells private goods, as long as there are good things, Ye Yaodong will talk about the price, and Ah Cai is also used to asking.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Okay, this time there is no bargaining, as much as you say."
Anyway, he picked it up for nothing, so he was very happy.
A Cai calculated the price with confidence, "A total of 23 yuan and 76 cents, don't say I'm stingy, I will directly record 23 yuan and 80 cents for you."
"Okay, brother Cai is really generous." Ye Yaodong happily put his shoulders on his shoulders, watching him count.
"Do you want to sell it stupidly? It costs 2 cents a catty."
"This is not for sale, take it home to pickle the salted fish."
"It's up to you, keep the receipt."
He happily took the receipt, and after reading the numbers, he folded it and put it in his breast pocket, and patted it casually, "Let's go."
After bringing the fish home, Mother Ye happened to be cooking. Seeing the three stupid fish he brought back, she didn't say anything, and killed them directly.
"Mom, how long will the house be built?"
"Looking at the progress, it should take about seven or eight days. If it weren't for changing the location and laying the foundation again, our house is probably finished."
"Well, when I came back, I saw that piece of land, and the area was reduced and covered."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it has nothing to do with us. It is estimated that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, your three rooms will be completed."
"How much does it cost to build three rooms? It has been windy for several days in the past month, and the machine has been repaired twice, and more than ten days have been lost."
"It's more than a thousand, it's very economical. You don't need to spend money on vegetables. Only rice costs money. The materials are all transported back from the mountains and rivers by workers. Only the sand costs a little money. We only need to build one floor. You don’t need to buy red bricks, just use the stones excavated from the mountain. The wages of the workers are very high. The rough work is 1 yuan and 5 cents a day. .”
Ye Yaodong nodded, and the money spent on trawl nets and selling large yellow croakers during this period is almost enough to build a house.
"Then I will go."
"Well, by the way, take this bucket of tea that has been cold."
"knew."
Mother Ye felt a little distressed when she saw her third son's sunburnt face. The first month or two, he looked clean and white. During this time, he did work a lot.
"It's okay, I didn't do anything in the morning, so I went to put a ground cage." He said and walked out.
After such a long time, he has already adjusted his mentality after his rebirth. From the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable and needed to slowly change his personality. Now the family is used to seeing him wielding a hoe.
He wants to keep his feet on the ground, work hard to make money, and live a good life.
When they arrived at the homestead, Lin Xiuqing happened to be drinking tea to quench her thirst. He secretly told her that he had picked up a sea pig at sea in the morning and sold it for 23 yuan and 80 cents. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"real?"
"What are you doing to lie to you? The list is in my pocket. I forgot to take it back to the house just now. It should not be dropped. I will show it to you later in the evening."
Lin Xiuqing nodded happily while holding the tea bowl, Ye Yaodong took her hand, drank the tea she hadn't finished in one gulp, and drank another bowl, then the two went to work together, talking and laughing .
A discerning person could see early in the morning that the relationship between the couple had improved a lot, and they even had to do a job together, and they were still smiling so happily.
That night, it was Ye Yaodong's turn to go to sea with Father Ye again.
Take a turn every three days, and sometimes he can’t go because of the wind, or the machine is broken. In the past month, he has not gone a few times in total.
If he continues to follow his father after the separation, he really might as well do it alone. Although he earns a lot from trawl nets, it takes four people to share, and his parents also make up a boat for him, which is enough.
As usual, I got up at 1 o'clock at night, and went to sea after eating a full meal.
When I went out, because it was dark, Father Ye was the one who sailed the boat, and he also set the first net. It wasn't until dawn that he asked Ye Yaodong to set up the net.
After this period of time, Father Ye also understood that among them, the third son was the luckiest. As long as he dragged the net up, there would be one or two good fish, or a whole net of fish.
Ye Yaodong retracted the twisted net, and dragged it forcefully from the slide to the deck, "Ah, it's a whole net of white pomfret. My **** little red hand is really good at pulling."
Father Ye glanced at him, he seemed to be at ease, but his mouth was still out of tune, "Continue to release the net."
"Father, I have a hunch that our next catch will definitely be white pomfret!"
"Do you think fish are Chinese cabbage?"
"Do you want to take a gamble?"
"What are you betting on?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled: "Bet on two packs of Friendship cigarettes, I see that you have exactly two packs in your pocket."
Father Ye covered his pockets on both sides and stared blankly, "I don't want to gamble, I managed to hide some private money, and it's only enough to buy these two bags."
"It's okay, maybe you can still win two packs, and if you lose, don't you still have hookah at home to smoke, or you can smoke with a piece of paper to light tobacco."
"No, stop worrying about my cigarettes and work quickly!"
"All right."
After his hopes fell through, he could only honestly go sailing.
Father Ye also thinks that the second net may still be white pomfrets. There are indeed a lot of white pomfrets recently, and there are a lot of white pomfrets piled up at the purchase point yesterday.
Sure enough, the second net is still white pomfret, but mixed with a lot of orchid crabs and stone crabs.
Many white pomfrets were cut off by orchid crabs, or the surface was not good-looking, which is a pity.
Ah Cai does not accept these poor-looking and broken pomfrets, they can only take them back and eat them by themselves.
"Choose here for me, and you go sail the boat and release the net."
In the second net, he was also dragging around. In the third net, he simply followed his own mind and drove out. Anyway, there is a compass, as long as it doesn’t run too far, it’s fine.
