Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 335 Seagull
A group of children had been surrounding the stove, Mother Ye couldn't drive them away, and some wanted to help light the fire, but she scolded them a few times before going to wait there scratching their ears and stretching their necks.

Lin Guangyuan asked curiously, "Are seabird eggs delicious?"

"Should be delicious, right? Eggs are delicious, and seabird eggs must be delicious too."

"Haven't you eaten?"

"Where are we going to eat?"

"Aren't you from the seaside? Haven't the seasiders eaten seabird eggs?"

"Who said that seasiders must have eaten seabird eggs?"

They were chatting away there.

Father Ye smiled and said, "Seabird eggs are delicious. Seabirds are different from birds in the forest. Seabirds often lay eggs on the ground or on rocky piles. It's just a matter of luck. Islands are easier to pick up."

Only then did Lin Guangyuan suddenly realize, "I said how I picked up seabird eggs on the ground at that time, and I picked them up one by one, sometimes there were more than a dozen when I found them, and then there were another not far away, all on the ground. "

What adjective is this?

Ye Chenghai hesitated and said: "Then can he agree to take me?"

Ye Yaodong took a closer look, isn't this a seabird?

"I want a big one too!"

Leaf peeling!
Lin Guangyuan rolled his eyes, took the washbasin from him, and planned to take a shower. After staying for a few days, he wore Ye Chenghai's clothes. Although the sleeves and trousers were a little short, the weather was warm, so it was not a big problem.

Mother Lin nodded with a smile.

Going out to sea today is nothing short-sighted, it has been going smoothly, and Ah Zheng and the others are distributed on both sides of the island to work independently without interfering with each other.

This is not only convenient for flying, but also like a barometer, which can predict weather changes in time.

The reason why seagulls can foresee storms is that the bones of seagulls are hollow tubes, filled with air without bone marrow.

Lin Guangyuan said with some pride: "Of course, I will be able to hit every shot. I can hit every shot, even sparrows are so small, let alone these seabirds."

As Ye Yaodong said, he took out the seriously injured and dragged half-dead seagull out of the bag, "This is the seagull."

Of course, there are also many small ones, such as seagulls, petrels and some wading birds.

Then Sa Yazi ran away.

Lin's father and Lin's mother didn't affect it, and there were more squids brought in by the big waves. They picked up a little more than yesterday, and there were one more sack than yesterday, and there were 3 bags. The happy Lin's mother couldn't close her mouth. It's all over, and it's already full of harvest before the evening.

But as soon as he lifted his foot and ran two steps, he turned back again.

After carrying a few full bags, his shoulders turned red, and Mother Lin pointed to the bag in the corner, "There are still..."

After all the things were loaded onto the boat, they headed back. Little Ah Zheng and his boat were also waiting aside, and they returned together.

"Mine is bigger!"

He swallowed, "I haven't eaten seabirds yet!"

"Uncle, is seabird meat delicious?"

The flood season is only a few days, and it rains and winds from time to time to delay it. There are only a few days to fish, and he is reluctant to stop now. The loss of one day is huge.Anyway, little Ah Zheng's boat was working near him.

After all, this opportunity to make money is quite rare. Earning more than 30 a day is really a lot.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and repeated it to him.

"What? Like a bird! What else can I do?"

Mother Ye took a small basket and scooped all the seabird eggs into the basket to drip water, then poured them into a large bowl and brought them to the table.

"That's right, a few of them seem rather stupid, why can't the seagulls be caught?"

Lin Guangyuan followed him, and said regretfully as he walked: "It's a pity that I can't drag it, otherwise I can kill a few more. When I found that I couldn't drag it, I went to dig out the seabird's nest. These few are actually It was just by the way, seeing them flying from the beach to the forest, I just shot them down."

Lin's father also felt that the waves were a bit big just now, but he is not from the seaside, so he doesn't understand this. Now that he knows that he has to go back early, it is a pity, but safety comes first.
"Then go back early and carry all these goods onto the boat first." After speaking, he shouted at Lin Guangyuan towards the top of the mountain with a loud voice.

"What's more, it also has the habit of flying in and out of the port. When the voyage is lost or the fog is thick, you can find the port by observing the flying direction of the seagulls."

As soon as I went out, I heard them screaming there again.

Ye Yaodong has no objection, this is incidental, he doesn't mind helping the old father-in-law and mother-in-law, and let them earn some money, which they earned by themselves.

"Seagull, seagull, my friend, seagull~our good friend~"

It’s like this when there are too many children, a whole bunch of them are grandchildren~
The children didn't think it was too hot. As soon as the bowls were brought to the table, they all rushed forward, each took one, and then it was so hot that the left hand was replaced by the right hand, and the right hand was replaced by the left hand. blow.

Then it peeled off the shell, looking at the white egg white, and couldn't wait to peel off the remaining shell, so he bit it and rolled it in his mouth twice before he could swallow it.

"It flies close to the sea, then the weather in the future will be sunny, and if they linger along the sea, then the weather will gradually get worse."

"what?"

"Little uncle, why haven't you said why seagulls can't fight?" Lin Guangyuan asked again as soon as he got on the boat.

"Don't tell me soon?"

Lin Guangyuan was a little speechless after hearing this, "Little uncle, you are so treacherous, you need to pay for a trick."

It was only in the middle of the afternoon that the wind blew up and the waves were big. They carried their homework hard for a while, but later found that it was impossible. The boat shook so badly that the waves hit their faces when they pulled in the net.

During the meal just now, Lin's father and Lin's mother also said that if it didn't rain or wind at night, they would go with him again and go back the day after tomorrow.

Lin Guangyuan's voice came from the forest as if there was nothing.

"Didn't your teacher teach you to sing this song?"

Casting a glance at him, Ye Yaodong continued to rub his feet against each other, rushing to settle the matter.

Seabirds vary in size, and seabird eggs vary in size. Some are as big as goose eggs, and some are as small as quail eggs.

"Seagulls are also the "forecasters" of maritime navigation safety. When sailing at sea, they often run aground or run aground due to unfamiliar water environment, or shipwrecks occur due to sudden changes in the weather. Experienced fishermen know that seagulls often Landing around the shoals, rocks or submerged reefs, a group of flying noises, this is undoubtedly a signal to people to beware of hitting reefs."

"There are some in the sack next to you."

"That's right, Mother pried more today than yesterday."

"Yesterday, I found them annoying. I couldn't drive them away. They flew back after they were driven away. I borrowed a slingshot from Ah He last night. By the way, I asked Ah Hai and Ah Jiang to bring their slingshots."

"I am older than you!"

Seabird eggs also tend to be larger than forest bird eggs, and tend to have a higher percentage of yolk, perhaps because of their larger size, whether albatrosses or great egrets, sea ducks, gannets.

Lin Guangyuan carefully climbed down from the reef, and handed the bucket to Ye Yaodong, asking him to help carry it on, and then he jumped.

The joy of catching the sea is to gain a lot.

"Because you're a clever fool!"

"Cut~"

"Third Uncle, can you take me with you tonight? No school tomorrow."

"Be careful, it's hot, wait until it cools down before eating..."

"Hum~"

Mother Lin smiled until her eyes were wrinkled, and she was very happy, "I have experience today, and the prying process is a little faster, and I also went to dig ahead of time. There are really too many seabirds, and they are too annoying."

Lin Guangyuan curled his lips, forget it, pretend he didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong just opened the sack at hand, he thought it was also a squid just now.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his shoulders, and said to Lin's mother: "Today, I happen to return early, so I can pick out the goods when I go back, and see if there are any valuable ones, and I can sell them for some money."

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead, "You can't hit seagulls."

"Look, I always pick the big ones, these must be very meaty!"

"Oh, yes!" He ran away in a hurry, his parents had just come back for a while, and they were still at the door.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his hands with a towel, paused, looked over, "Go and tell your father, let him take you there."

"Little uncle, you are working hard."

"Third Uncle, what you said makes sense! Why didn't I think of trying to persuade like this."

"I want the big one!"

"Fuck! Where did you get so many seabirds?"

Ye Yaodong put down the bowls and chopsticks after he was full, and seeing their anxious looks, he couldn't help but said, "What's the hurry? Anyway, I'll give you all to eat, and it won't be too late when it gets colder? I swallowed it without chewing twice. Do you know what it smells like?"

He smiled, showing his 12 white teeth, and pulled out the slingshot from his pocket.

"Why don't you agree? You just said to experience how hard it is to be a fisherman, and you will cherish studying in the future. Anyway, you won't go to school tomorrow, and you can work harder and pick up more if you go. And just stay on the small island Don't run around, you are not a child anymore, how can you help the family do some work in your spare time, earn some money to supplement the family, that's all."

Father Ye helped pick up the goods on the boat.

"Of course, don't reject the ones delivered to your door for nothing. Don't forget to pay for your boat fare tomorrow. Pick up some more, and I will reward you with some."

As for other things, egrets were not listed as protected animals until 89, and other seabirds were not listed as protected animals until about the same time.

When he was almost finished washing, and rushed the remaining basin of water towards his feet, Ye Chenghai blew over like a gust of wind, and shouted excitedly as he ran, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle, it's done, you too! incredible!"

"Isn't that right, pick up some more seabird eggs and feed me later."

"mine too!"

"It's windy, the waves are getting bigger and bigger, I can't work anymore, I have to go back."

She deliberately picked it up when she was cooking, otherwise, she would quarrel after the unfair distribution. Every time the food was divided, there would always be some unfair points and she would cry.

"Need not……"

Lin Guangyuan blinked his eyes, "I seem to have heard of it."

The others who hadn't bitten the yolk quickly ate the egg white, leaving the egg yolk to roll in the palm of their hand.

Father Lin also straightened his waist and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you go to catch squid? Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Okay, then each person will give me half of the seabird eggs as head fee!" He said as he walked in with the washbasin and towel.

"Oh, so you're not going to pick up squid, but seabird eggs!"

"Aren't these shells worth nothing?"

"Look! I came prepared today!"

Lin's father and Lin's mother at the side understood.

By the way, I took a look at the sky, the starry sky was extremely bright under the night, and there were a lot of stars, and I knew at a glance that tomorrow would be a good weather again.

"I'm here, I'm here..." Lin Guangyuan's excited voice came from afar.

"If seagulls are out of the water, flying high, flocking in flocks from far out to sea, or flocks of seagulls congregating on sandy beaches or in rock crevices, it could be a sign of an approaching storm."

One by one has been knocked on the side of the stove, and some are knocked on other people's heads...

While talking, he picked up a bunch of seabirds and put them together in a sack. They were still very heavy, their feathers were all dirty, one piece was black and the other was white, and it was all mud. Luckily, he could drag it back.

"Get on the boat first."

"There are also some valuable ones, such as goose-strength barnacles, but I don't think there are any. We haven't seen them when we came to this island before, but the bigger snails can still be sold for money."

Although the boat was hit by a hit today, nothing happened until he got back from work. He was going to go to sea as usual. If he asked someone to come to check, it would be delayed for a day tomorrow.

"Brace yourself, it's only been two days!"

"It's a good shot."

Ye Chenghai was stunned for a while when he told him, and then he blinked his eyes.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, continued to take a bath, he had never seen him memorize the book so quickly, everyone thought it was fun to go to sea.

It's just that Ye Chenghai sneaked over while he was taking a shower.

"Ah? So fast?" Mother Lin looked up at the waves on the sea, "It seems to be quite big."

"Why? Are there seagulls in my house? I don't even know them!"

"Let's go back to the boat. It's windy and the waves are a bit big. Go back quickly."

"Okay, so which one is it? You take it out and let me see what it looks like? I think they all look similar?"

"Then how can you thank me?"

"Huh? I've already bitten!"

In addition, the hollow quills on the wings of seagulls are also like small barometers, which can sensitively sense changes in air pressure.

"I want it too, I want a big one too..."

"Because I have a secret weapon!"

Mother Ye's head grew dizzy when she heard that, "It's almost the same."

Mother Lin also said happily, "I caught so many again."

He and Lin's father first carried the bags of shellfish that were full beside them onto the boat, and waited for Lin Guangyuan by the way.

"I told you all that it's hot, so it's too late to eat it later?"

"Hmm~" Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, "Let me teach you a lesson today. In addition to eating fish, shrimp, crabs, and shells, seagulls also like to pick up leftovers thrown away by people on board, so they are also called harbor cleaners."

They turned their heads and saw Lin Guangyuan ran out of the forest, walked onto the rock, and threw a bunch of white animals from the top down?
white animal?

"There is one, there is an egret, and the others are gannets, which are clumsy on land."

"Hey, pick them all up."

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines, what were they talking about?
He frowned, glanced at the children, then shook the towel, draped it over his shoulders, and headed for the back door.

"Oh! Is that so?" Lin Guangyuan half understood.

At night, they went out to sea as usual, but Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Guangyuan's spirits were obviously not as good as yesterday.

"This egg yolk is so big!"

"Give it all to me, I'll soak it in cold water..."

Ye Chenghai also recited the words and recited them, and then happily said: "I remember it!"

A group of people are a little confused, as if they haven't tasted it?
Ye Yaodong shook his head. Regardless of them, he went directly into the room and looked at the mother and daughter. He was dirty and didn't dare to touch them. He just stood by and looked at Lehe for a while before going out with his clothes, ready to take a shower.

As soon as they heard what Ye Mu said, they immediately stood aside, shouting excitedly, and finally recovered.

Egret?Gannet?seagull?

"Thank you too? Then you will share half of the seabird eggs I picked up tomorrow, and Ye Chengjiang will also share half with you. The second aunt asked him to go with him, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth."

Ah Zheng and the little boat also came over and told them that they couldn't continue working, and everyone could only regretfully call it quits early.

"again?"

"normal."

He was pleasantly surprised when he opened it and found that there were indeed several seabirds inside, all of which were quite large.

"Okay, okay, it's time to cook, you stand aside, I'm going to lift the lid of the pot, don't get in the way here."

"Not hot not hot..."

"I'm the biggest!"

"Third uncle, say it again, how do you say it?"

Lin Guangyuan scratched his head, "What do I think, they all look about the same?"

"You're blind!"

"Hmph, I'm not from the seaside!"

　Not at night, maybe during the day
