Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 11 Sold the blue crab (please collect it!)

Everyone in the Ye family also saw Ye Yaodong's harvest at this time, and Mother Ye was the first to say in surprise: "You also caught two blue crabs?"

She squeezed her hands while talking, and said happily, "It's quite hard. The two of them should add up to more than a catty, and they can be sold for one or two dollars!"

"What are you selling, take it home and eat it yourself!"

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat, you prodigal son, your daughter-in-law earns less than 1 yuan a day working on the Internet, these two blue crabs can be sold for one or two yuan, and you actually want to eat them!" Ye Mu stared, and at the same time I slapped him several more times.

Ye Yaodong took two steps back to avoid his mother's palm. His mother worked all year round, her hands were covered with calluses, and beating someone was quite painful.

"Mom, I didn't think about eating it by myself. It's rare to catch two blue crabs. I just want to stew them for the children at home..."

Mother Ye's complexion brightened in an instant, and her tone softened. It's a good thing to think about the children, "There are so many children in the family, who can eat these two?"

"It's okay to drink soup with one foot!"

"There are so many children, there is no need to cry and fight. This thing is worth some money, so let's sell it. Yesterday your father also left a few swimming crabs and a catty of small sword shrimp. Just eat those."

Ye Yaodong frowned. The two blue crabs together only weighed more than a catty, and at the current price they only cost more than one yuan, which is too cheap compared to later generations.

Blue crabs are also called sturgeons, and they also call the blue crabs they breed as vegetable sturgeons.

The wild blue crabs in the later generations are cheaper at the wharf, and they all cost 150 a catty. You can’t buy wild ones in the market. They are all farmed, and they cost 150 a catty.

Seeing that he was frowning, Mother Ye winked at him and grabbed the rope, "I'll take it to the pier for you to buy and sell. You wait here and dig some sand clams by the way. The tide will soon be high."

This idiot, his daughter-in-law is exhausted to make money, he managed to catch two blue crabs, and the family will be separated soon, he doesn't want to sell some money to his daughter-in-law to save, but actually wants to share it?

Ye Yaodong saw his mother walking quickly towards the shore, so he had no choice but to give up, selling a little is a little bit, it's because he didn't turn the corner for a while, anyway, the money is valuable now, so it's good if he can sell a little.

Lin Xiuqing was relieved when she saw that her mother-in-law was selling the blue crabs with carelessness. Those two blue crabs were worth the fishing nets she had made for a few days.

Everyone has selfish intentions. Her man is inherently lazy, and he can't make money like his elder brother and second brother. Now she can unexpectedly earn an extra yuan or two, and she doesn't want to give it to everyone.

Seeing Mother Ye's actions, Second Aunt Ye's mouth was constricted, and she didn't say anything. She had to sell it too, and squatted down to continue digging.

Aunt Ye became curious instead, "Where did you catch the blue crab, Yaodong? No wonder I didn't see you just now."

"there!"

After what happened just now, he didn't have the desire to talk to these people either. He flicked his head casually, gave a direction, and walked towards his wife, looking at the almost full washbasin beside her.

"The harvest is good, I dug a lot."

Lin Xiuqing smiled lightly, "It's okay, but unfortunately the tide is about to rise, and the ebb tide will have to wait until night, so we can only come back tomorrow."

She glanced at his trousers rolled up high, and then at the rock, "Did you go out of the tide and dig these?"

At least gave him a smiley face, Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, there is nothing on the nearby stone wall, sea melon seeds and snails are only a little bigger than farts, so I walked out a little, probably blocked by those strangely shaped big rocks, You didn't see it."

Has it really become more diligent?It took so long to dig seriously?No wonder he didn't see a figure nearby, but went out of the tide.

"These sea melon seeds and spicy snails are still a bit small." She reached out and rummaged through the basket.

"I have dug up all the edible ones as much as I can. The sea melon seeds are okay, and they will open their mouths when they are cooked. Although they are smaller in size, they should be quite fleshy. The snails are a little smaller. Take them home and share them. Come out, let a few children smash it with stones and steam it with scallion oil."

"What? Scallion oil? You need oil to cook a snail? Just boil it in water and eat the meat. Where do you know how to eat it? You need oil to eat a snail?"

Lin Xiuqing frowned, and looked at him incredulously, she really didn't know how expensive tea, rice, oil and salt are!
"Uh... huh... I heard that, so let's burn it." Ye Yaodong laughed, he habitually brought over the way of eating from later generations, and for a moment he forgot that what he was eating now was lard.

Fresh seafood can be boiled, and now their family can boil it as long as it can, so that there is no need to waste money on seasoning.

Lin Xiuqing frowned and gave him a strange look, then squatted down again, "Mother hasn't come here yet, I'll dig for a while, you should take your son ashore and wait."

"Row!"

It just so happened that he didn't want to do it either!Soaking in water for too long can make your feet uncomfortable.

Ye Chengyang had both feet buried in the sand by himself, and he was still giggling there. He directly picked up the child who was playing vigorously, stuck it under his armpit, and took his harvest to the shore first.

As soon as the child was pinched under the armpit, he started to cry loudly, danced his limbs, and jumped out in two words, "I want to play, I want to play, I don't want to, go home!"

"The tide is high, everyone is going home!"

"No, no, Yangyang, play!"

"Come back next time, there is still corn at home, do you want to eat it? If you go back late, your brothers and sisters will eat it up."

When it came to eating, the child stopped struggling, and instead said: "I want to eat, Yang Yang, I want to eat!"

After Ye Yaodong landed, he put him down and let him sit on a rock by the bank, "Sit obediently and wait for your mother to finish digging before going back together."

"hungry……"

"Why didn't you say you were hungry when you were playing just now? Wait for me!"

Ye Yaodong was used to seeing the dissatisfaction of his two sons decades later, and would talk back from time to time, hating him for being weak.I'm really not used to the appearance of being so small now, with a baby voice, the contrast is too great, and I can't feel pity...

Ye Chengyang's mouth was flat, a little aggrieved, and his appearance of crying or not was seen by Ye's mother who just came over, and Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua who had parked the boat.

Mother Ye felt distressed immediately, "What's wrong, Yangyang? Who bullied you? Tell grandma, grandma beat him!"

With a backer, Ye Chengyang opened his mouth and howled loudly, "Father, it's dad!"

Mother Ye immediately pretended to hit Ye Yaodong twice, "Grandma has already hit your father for you, be good, don't cry."

Ye Chengyang immediately closed his mouth to stop howling, his tears moved freely, and only when his eyelashes were a little wet did he see the traces of crying.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching!
bad boy!
No wonder it's so unpleasant to grow up!
"Grandma, hungry, corn!"

"Okay, we'll go home and cook right away."

After comforting her grandson, Mother Ye shouted to the daughters-in-law on the beach: "Go home, stop digging, it's getting late, it's time to go home for dinner."

The three daughters-in-law were already growling with hunger. Seeing their mother-in-law calling them, they each went ashore with washbasins and buckets. Anyway, the tide was coming up soon.
