Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 319
As soon as he set foot on the beach, he saw squids of all sizes stranded everywhere, scattered scattered on the beach.

The surrounding tide is still pushing up the dead squid in the sea.

Father Ye said with a face full of joy: "Pick up as much as you can, if you can't finish it, come back tomorrow."

As he said that, he had squatted down and couldn't wait to pick it up.

"Hurry up, don't grind, don't look around, pick it up quickly."

"Let me see how many are around?"

"Don't look... what are you looking at... ah..."

Father Ye's voice suddenly stopped, and Ye Yaodong turned around suspiciously, "Oh, what the hell, are you still alive?"

I saw that his father was unprepared, and was sprayed with ink all over his face by a dying squid, and then he reached out to wipe his face...

It was even darker.

"I didn't expect to die yet."

"Go wash in the water." After speaking, he squatted down and began to pick it up.

But before picking up a few, he was also sprayed on the face by the squid. Fortunately, he was a little far away, and the spray was a little off, and it only sprayed on one cheek.

What was sprayed white yesterday, is sprayed black today, white plus black.

He didn't care, just left it like this, and continued to pick it up, anyway, he would definitely be sprayed later, there are so many squids on the beach.

There is a saying: the blood and gall in the squid's belly are like ink, and it can be written, and its handwriting will melt after years.

It means that squid ink can be used for writing, but it will fade after a long time.

The reason why squid is called "squid" is because someone once used its juice to write things, and what they wrote was IOUs.

The ink of the squid will keep for a period of time after the characters are written, but after a long time, it will be oxidized under the action of the air, so the characters will disappear, so that people can renege on their debts.

In ancient times, there was a legend called "Hebo engaged in", that is, Jiangdong people used its ink to write contracts and defraud others of their money.

Ye Yaodong squatted there and moved, picking up the squids in front of him one by one into the sack, and occasionally picked up other stranded small fish and conch, and he threw them into the sack together.

Not long after, his face and hands were also pitch black.

He raised his head and glanced at his father who was not far away, his face had just washed white, and the two of them were not the same.

Twisting his neck, he continued.

Alas, it's a pity that I can't bring those children out, so I can only pick them up by myself.

Just when their waists were sore and their backs hurt, a group of seabirds also flew over and snatched food from them.

Most seabirds like to eat fish, squid, crustaceans, mollusks, etc. It can be said that they eat everything.

Father Ye saw the flock of seabirds pecking non-stop, his heart ached to death.

"Hurry up and pick it up, just the two of us picked it up, and it's not as fast as they eat."

"Damn it! There are them everywhere, and they flew over as soon as the tide ebbed."

"No way, we can't pick them up anyway, so we can only make them cheaper."

"I still think about coming over tomorrow to pick it up. If I come tomorrow, I guess there are no hairs left."

……

While Ye Yaodong was swearing, the sun gradually set on the hills, and there were more and more seabirds on the beach, and the two of them had almost picked up their sacks, almost full.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his sore waist, and sighed in his heart, it's all hard money!
And reduced to taking food from a flock of seabirds, Mad.

No, they were robbing him, and he discovered it first.

"Let's go dad, it's almost time, the sun has already set, and it will be dark when we go back."

Just when he finished speaking, moved his neck and twisted his waist, and was about to grab the mouth of the squid in this bag, a seabird was so arrogant that he wanted to rush into his bag and grab the squid.

He instinctively raised his hand to hit it, but it quickly dodged it.

"Made, there are still some on the beach. If you don't eat them, you even come here to steal them on purpose."

"What are you talking about? Go, go back."

Father Ye picked up a bag and picked it up. Seeing that he was still muttering and turning his head around, he hurriedly urged him.

"Oh, here we come."

He also grasped the opening of the sack tightly, then carried it on his shoulder, and walked towards the fishing boat.

The tide is still low now, but fortunately he stopped to the side, and he stopped far away. The fishing boat was not stranded when the tide receded to the bottom, and he could barely get out.

After carrying the two sacks ashore in the drenching water, they immediately poured the squid into bamboo baskets. It is easy to crush them if they are pressed all the time, so it is better to pour them into bamboo baskets.

"This bag is estimated to weigh 100 catties."

Father Ye nodded happily, "Almost, more than 3 cents a catty, and the price will drop after the squid floods, but these two bags can also sell for sixty or seventy, plus the two nets dragged before, and The goods caught by longline fishing and those caught by diving should be able to sell for almost 200 yuan."

Ye Yaodong was also in a good mood, he hadn't been out to sea for many days, and once he got out, he had a good harvest, and he picked up so many squids for nothing.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to chop some firewood, bundle some more and throw them into the sea to trap them, and catch more firewood during the flood season."

"Go back and ask your eldest brother and second brother to get more branches and tie them up and throw them into the sea, so that they will catch squids in the future. There will be no shortage of squids in this period of time."

"Well, go back, you sail, I'll pick and choose."

As soon as Father Ye heard this, he knew that he was going to keep the goods again. He frowned and said distressedly: "Don't keep a little less, don't keep those valuable sea cucumbers and abalones, just keep a little of any miscellaneous fish."

"Got it, got it, you go and sail the boat, it's getting dark, I can hardly see your face clearly."

Both father and son had dark faces, and they didn't have time to wash. They had been fighting against the seabirds before, and after carrying them onto the boat, they themselves followed closely.

But it's not a big problem, man, he doesn't care much about his image, anyway, no one sees him at sea.

And there is no mirror, both father and son just wiped their faces a few times when they felt that their faces were a little wet, and no one had to laugh at the other.

It is impossible to expect them to wipe each other's faces gently and tenderly.

Father Ye worried a few more times, saying that they only need to get a few random fish and crabs, enough for a meal, and don't need to keep anything else for them, let him keep less for himself...

"Understood, you go and sail the boat, I know it."

Because Ah Qing gave birth, his mother had to take care of the confinement meals. During this time, his father, mother, and old lady ate at his place, saving his mother from running around and firing on both sides.

After driving his father to sail the boat, he turned his back on him with the bucket in his hand, and stretched out his claws at the squids first, one by one according to their heads!
And today, tomorrow, two days' worth.

The squid will shrink when boiled, so one person is not too much, and it is very fragrant when eaten in marinade.

There are also sea cucumbers, just keep 4 today, Ah Qing and the old lady each eat one for two days.

Forget the rest, just save a little shrimp to serve with the two children's meals, and pick out some miscellaneous fish and braise them in soy sauce after landing later.

There are still a few sandworms left in the bucket. Take it back and fry another bowl with leeks, and save four or five crabs to fry in half.

Seaside people can only eat seafood, and stir-fry one or two vegetables, which is enough for the whole family.

After picking up everything that should be kept in the bucket and going through the menu in his mind, he carried the bucket to the corner with satisfaction.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was also dark after the fishing boat docked.

Mother Ye was on the shore to meet her, and she was so anxious that she waited until it was dark before she saw the familiar boat docking.

When she ran to the shore, she almost gave her a big jump, "You...you..."

"Why do you look like you have seen a ghost? Come up and help."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father, "Don't you look like a ghost?"

Mother Ye breathed a sigh of relief when she heard two familiar voices, "Why are you both so dark? Have you become pirates?"

"I picked up squid, I was sprayed all over the face, and I have no time to clean up." Ye Yaodong heard that he wiped his face, and it was black and yellow in an instant...

Mother Ye almost lost her eyesight, "It's late at night, people will be scared to death when they see it, just take a handkerchief and wipe it with some water."

Father Ye did the same thing, and wiped his face, "It doesn't matter if you're too particular, anyway, it's already dark anyway, and the water is used for cooking, so there's no time for sea water."

Ye Mu didn't bother to say anything about the two rough guys, they got on the boat to help.

"Other ships have docked early, how did you get to this point?"

"Didn't you talk about picking squid? Aren't there several baskets in the corner?"

Only then did Mother Ye realize that he was talking about picking up.

"Pick it up? Didn't you catch it?"

"No, these squid died after laying eggs. They were washed by sea water and ran aground on the small island. It took us half an afternoon to pick up two bags."

"Ah? There is such a good thing." Mother Ye was overjoyed. "It's the squid fishing season, so I can pick them up tomorrow. It's a pity, I have to stay at home to take care of the confinement, otherwise I will follow you to help."

"It may not be tomorrow. A bunch of seabirds are circling the island. We left, but they haven't left yet. They ate more than we picked."

"Pity."

"It's nothing to be sorry about. It's not bad to be able to pick up 200 catties. Tomorrow, chop some branches and trap them, which is faster than picking them up."

"That's right. I think they also found some squid when they came back from the trawling net today. It is estimated that they will start trapping soon."

"Put it down first and then talk," Ye Yaodong urged.

Several buying spots have been closed, only Ah Cai's is still open, mainly to wait for Ye Yaodong's goods.

Ye Yaodong's fishing boat is all for him to collect, no matter how late he has to wait for the fishing boat to come back to collect the goods before closing, usually it will not be too late.

Seeing their goods being brought over, Ah Cai couldn't help but said, "Why is it so late, only your boat hasn't come back yet, and the other boats have come back early."

"Don't you know that the finale is always the last one?" Ye Yaodong replied poorly.

"What good stuff? Sea cucumber, abalone, little green dragon?"

"All."

"Okay you, you can get it every time you go to sea, is there some secret base?"

"Do you think I'm raising it by myself?"

"I doubt it too."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, my wife is still waiting for my fish to give milk."

"All right, all right, how much was the fine?"

"Aren't they all unified at 500?"

"You have a good relationship with Secretary Chen. I thought you could be less."

"Good idea, Secretary Chen is fair and selfless, everyone is the same."

"As long as you can be born, 500 yuan is nothing to you."

"Who said, 500 yuan is a huge sum of money to me, and it almost wiped out my family's fortune."

Ah Cai is speechless, believe him a ghost, how much money he earns he can't figure it out?Just more and less!

"How much is the squid recently?" Ye Yaodong changed the subject.

"3 cents and 6 cents, there have been more squids in the past two days."

"Will it drop again?"

"Almost, it should drop by a few more points if it increases in the future."

"Got it, call it quickly."

Ye Yaodong put the goods he had kept in the bucket he kept before, and gave them to his mother to take them back first. There are old people, children, and pregnant women at home.
