Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 447 The Escaped Scallop

Although they are not piled up like a hill, their beach area is not small, and the number of them forming a coastline is also very impressive. No wonder his mother came over excitedly and dug them all up.

In this era, the amount of scallops caught was relatively small, and then people gradually raised them, and the output increased.

They rarely see scallops on the seaside every day, not to mention that it has washed into a coastline like today, which is simply too spectacular.

You can pick up a bunch of them casually.

Whether it is worth the money or not is another matter. Large quantities are also valuable. For example, starfish, although they are cheap, but they are in large quantities. It is also worth picking up a few yuan a day, which is better than working part-time for a day. It is not so easy to make money these days.

What's more, the scallops are also valuable.

No wonder there are no good goods left at the door, and they were not picked up in time. It is one thing to be swept back into the sea by the waves, or it may be a small dam built by these shells. A lot of tide aftermath reduces the washing up of fish goods.

Because the beach has been scoured by sea water all year round, a lot of sand, silt and various stones have accumulated on the coast.

After Ye Yaodong was surprised, he searched for his father and mother, and saw his parents sticking out their buttocks at the diagonally opposite corner of him, struggling to fish those shells from the shore into the dustpan in front of him with both hands. The dustpan was full, and she immediately poured it into the basket.

And so are the others.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of the dawn, and the villagers hadn't come to the beach to watch the tide, so they could go back a little more, and they didn't care about picking.

Ye Yaodong squatted down next to his mother, and looked at all kinds of shells, but scallops were the most.

Some of these scallops have meat, some have only shells, and many other shells have only shells, and the same is true for juvenile shellfish, not all of them have meat.

I don't know how much of the dustpan in his mother's arms is empty, but at this moment, how can everyone have time to sort out which ones have meat and which ones don't?
I can only put them back as much as possible first, and the ones I put back are my own, and the same is true for taking them back after putting them all in and sorting them slowly.

He also saw a lot of scallops jumping in the water, fleeing into the sea following the rolling waves.

Although I have seen diving on the bottom of the sea before, it is still funny to look at it again. At this moment, a group of scallops are still fleeing into the sea.

Although the typhoon passed, the tide was still raging, and the scallops that returned to the sea disappeared after a while.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and help to put it on, and then pick it up slowly after it's all put back on. If you take a step slower, the whole village will come."

There was an octopus that happened to be washed up by the waves, Ye Yaodong trotted over to grab it, his arms were immediately entangled, and there was a big conch by his feet.

He picked them all up and said, "I'll go back and get the dustpan and gloves."

There are only two bamboo dustpans in the house and one dustpan for sweeping the floor.The dustpan was made by myself, and it was used to hold sand and gravel when the house was built. After the house was built, the family was divided into two.

I just came out in a hurry, and I forgot to wear gloves. The edges of these shells are very sharp. If you are not careful, your hands will be cut and bleed. You have to wear gloves for protection.

"I told you a lot of scallops before. It took me a long time to run out, and I didn't bring anything with me. I have to wait for others to tell me everything. How old are you..."

Ye Yaodong was used to his old lady being picky about everything and nagging about everything, so he just ran back as if he didn't hear anything.

Early in the morning, he was woken up in a daze, how could he react so quickly and think so thoroughly, not to mention seeing is believing, he hadn't seen it himself before, so how could he know what to bring.

When he ran back, Lin Xiuqing was also running out wearing a raincoat. Ye Yaodong quickly reminded her to bring gloves and tools, and the two ran back again.

When the couple ran to the beach, a few people from the village also walked in twos and threes to the beach to see how big the waves were, and also wanted to see if there was anything to pick up. When they found someone loading shells at the edge of the tide, they immediately He ran to the house and called for someone to bring things to pack.

Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up when she saw the long curved line made of shells by the beach.

"So many? It was scattered a few years ago, and there will be more after the tide goes down, but there are not as many as today. They all washed up on the shore."

"Just pick it up, who knows when it's a typhoon? Yesterday there was a lot of wind and waves."

"Is there any meat?"

"Look over there!" Ye Yaodong pointed at the scallops that were running away in the sea, "It's running so fast, do you think there is any meat?"

Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she saw many scallops swimming rapidly opening and closing in the muddy water at the shoal, following the aftermath of the tide and running towards the sea, running very fast and nimbly. It seems to have grown legs.

If Ye Yaodong hadn't pointed it out to her, she wouldn't have noticed that the sea water was too yellow and muddy.

She asked in surprise, "Can this scallop still run?"

"Of course."

Otherwise, why does the company that raises scallops raise them every year and lose blood every year, and tell everyone when it is harvested, bang~ the scallops ran away~

"Hurry up and pick it up, there will be more people in a while, be careful, just squat behind the shell and don't move forward."

"Hey."

Excited, Lin Xiuqing quickly squatted down to pick up the bucket, stretched out her two hands and inserted it into the pile of shells, and then pulled it hard into her arms. It felt so good to fill a bucket with two or three strokes.

"What do you want if you don't have a bucket..."

As soon as she filled a bucket and poured it into the basket, she wanted to turn around and ask him, how would he pack it if he didn't have a bucket?
It's strange to see him sticking a stick in shallow water, picking up a stone and knocking it there, trying to insert the stick a little deeper.

"What are you doing?"

"You pretend to be yourself, and you will know later."

After Ye Yaodong stuck a stick beside him, he ran to the front and stuck another stick, and then moved forward to stick a third stick.

The three points are spaced apart, and the head and tail are about seven or eight meters away. The diameter of the spread of these two nets is only about ten meters.

Mother Ye turned her head and saw it, and cursed, "Seriously, I told you to do some work, what are you running around for? I didn't see that there are several people coming to the shore, and you are still running there to play? You can't do anything." Counting on you, I've been here for a long time, and I haven't seen you picking up two..."

"You get yours, what are you talking about?"

Ye Yaodong was busy with himself. He always listened to his mother's words, going in one ear and out the other. He really listened to too much, and all kinds of disgust.

After planting the bamboo in the shallow water, he drenched the water and planted the bamboo a little further into the sea. The bamboo in the sea had to be inserted deeper.

Although the typhoon had passed now and the waves were not as violent as the churning, the sea was still full and he didn't dare to go too far.

After a while of beating and beating, he tied the fishing net that he had just brought out and threw on the shore to a wooden stick, so as not to be washed away by the waves.

Lin Xiuqing had been paying attention to his actions, and it was even more strange to see that he actually spread a fishing net in the sea and lowered it.

When he came back and wanted to take the bamboo after using up the stick, she hurriedly asked again, "What are you doing?"

"you guess!"

"I forgot to ask you just now, where did those two fishing nets come from? I didn't see them during the day yesterday. Didn't you just bring the cage back to wash?"

"Landa next door and Zhou Laoer took their fishing nets yesterday, and later they sent their family back in a hurry, and they didn't bother to take the fishing nets back. My father and I were afraid of being washed away by the waves, so we took them back to the yard first. Take it again."

Unexpectedly, the waves rolled up all kinds of shellfish in the sea. When he was about to go back to get the bucket, he saw the fishing net in the corner of the yard, so he had an idea and brought it over. He also hugged some sticks and bamboo.

"Then what are you doing with the fishing nets underneath?"

As soon as the question was finished, Lin Xiuqing thought of the scene of the scallop running away just now, and quickly reacted, opening her mouth into an O shape in surprise.

Then he continued: "Are you going to lay out a net of scallops?"

"That's right, this thing will run away without legs. Just spread a net and let it fall into the net itself. The height on the other side of the sea is a bit higher, and it won't be able to get out after it hits it."

She looked at him in surprise, "That's easy..."

"It's easy to save, that is, you can only net a few meters in front of you, and there are also those who strayed in from the side and hit the waves. The number will not be many, but it can be guaranteed that most of them have meat."

It can't compare to their speed of cuddling into the dustpan, but fortunately, the nets are basically live and fleshy scallops, and they can also net some fish, shrimps and crabs washed in by the waves.

"That's okay, it's easy to look at, and it's not troublesome."

"Ah."

The main thing is that you don't need to worry about opening the net. When everyone has picked up almost everything, he can close the net again.

He followed the same pattern and stretched out another net beside him.

The waves rushed up one after another. Even though the typhoon had passed, the waves had not receded and were still surging. He was on the shore, but it was not easy to set up the net, and it took a little effort to tie it.

Thinking that there were still 4 rows of cage nets at home, he ran home to push them again.

Fortunately, he piled it on top of the cart without moving it after washing it two days ago, and let it take a fresh water bath, so he didn't have to bother moving it around at this critical time.

He pushed the ground cages to the beach with a cart, and then moved them down one by one, ready to place them horizontally on the beach, connecting the ends and anchoring them. Seeing this, Lin Xiuqing also helped him move the ground cages.

"I'll fix it. Don't get too close. There are still waves. Just pack shells on the shore."

"OK then."

Thanks to the leader of the "Unsatisfactory high school grades" big brother who gave a reward. I was going to add an update tonight, but Chapter 2 was repeatedly polished and delayed for a long time. I can only arrange an update tomorrow.
