Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 45

Seeing so many shellfish on the reef, everyone was excited again, and the disappointment just now disappeared without a trace.

Ye Yaodong was also overjoyed, the tide had just receded a little, and when it receded to the bottom, more rocks would be exposed on the surface.

"Everyone acted on their own."

After he finished speaking, he was not in a hurry to dig. Instead, he searched around first. He didn't bend down to dig with a screwdriver until he saw a rock covered with small wild abalones.

This kind of wild small abalone adsorbed on the reef is different from the kind of abalone sold in the market. It looks completely different. It is much smaller, only a little bigger than a one-yuan coin. It is oval and its shell is also very thin.

This is his favorite food. It can be steamed with enoki mushrooms in scallion oil, and it is delicious.

After a little prying with a screwdriver, the whole piece fell off. He happily used the bucket to pry off the whole piece, and then continued to search around.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a large piece of bergamot in the crevice of the reef next to it, densely clustered, this is also worth some money.

The bergamot is also called a pen holder, and the scientific name is Guizu. According to Song "Sanshan Zhi", "it is named after its shape, the flesh in the depression is beautiful, and the big one is like a palm."

He put on gloves first to protect his hands from the spats, then reached into the crevice and dug it out with a screwdriver.

It wasn't until he had dug out the entire piece of bergamot that he shifted his position to continue searching. When he saw a big snail, he picked it up by the way.

Spicy snails are the most common snails on the reef, as well as horseshoe snails, green shrimp snails, sesame snails, and flower snails.

As long as he is big, he will not refuse all comers.

What he digs with his hands is the ones that can be sold for some money. He digs the valuable ones first, and he doesn't move on the worthless mussels, sea melon seeds, and bull's eyes.

He didn't pry the juveniles with sea oysters growing in them, and waited until he had dug up almost all the valuable ones, and then slowly trimmed those.

After looking for it, he bumped into Ah Guang and took a look in his bucket. He had everything, and he would not refuse anyone. He probably dug whatever he saw, and the whole bucket was almost full.

"It's all full, why don't you pour it into the bag?"

Ah Guang said innocently: "I only brought one bucket!"

Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "Then your barrel is full now, can't you just sit and watch?"

"Let's pack it first. I only pick up abalone and big snails now. I was too excited at the beginning and put everything in the bucket. Now it's full and there's nothing to pack. I have to pick."

Ah Zheng also raised his head nearby and said, "My bucket is almost full..."

The fat man sat on the reef and sighed, "My bucket is already full, and I've been resting for a while. Who knew there were so many things to dig on an isolated island."

Ye Yaodong was also speechless to them. They saw him carrying a sack yesterday, but they didn't even prepare for it today.

Suddenly he couldn't help secretly laughing in his heart. Fortunately, he brought two sacks on purpose today, because when he went ashore yesterday, he glanced carefully and saw the densely packed area. He thought that there should be a lot of goods, and he was afraid that one sack would not be enough.

"I see, Dongzi, you still have a big bamboo basket in the bucket in the morning?"

"That's right, there are still two sacks in the big bamboo basket. I asked my wife to prepare them for me today. I told you yesterday that there must be goods on the isolated island, but you didn't make much preparations. This is good. Now, when your barrels are full, you can sit next to them and rest, and when the tide recedes, you don't have to go to sea!"

"How could we have imagined that we went to the boat to get tools again without looking carefully when we came ashore in the sea yesterday."

It was a pity that everyone didn't make preparations earlier. After the bucket was full, they could only sit on the rock and watch Ye Yaodong dig.

Ye Yaodong was also very excited. Wherever there was any goods on the pier reef, he would choose the big ones from the short ones. Wherever it was like on an isolated island, there were densely packed good goods, and they were very big.

Like that mussel, there are two wild varieties, one is emerald green, the other is black with a little purple, and the all black ones on the market are farmed.

The emerald green ones are as big as eggs, and the black and purple mussels have a little white head and are slightly smaller in size, but they are still quite big.

When the bucket was full, he took it down and put it on an open space, and took out a sack to hold the mussels. When these things grow, they are all long in pieces, and it is very simple to dig.

After digging the mussels, he dug the eyes of the nearby cows, mixed them together, and picked them out when he got home.

Their local dialect is called bull's eye, but the officials don't know what it is called, because this kind of thing can't be farmed, and it can't be seen on the market.

It is also a kind of shellfish, like a scallop, but the meat is not as big as a scallop, and the shell is round and the color of a stone. It is especially good to put some ginger and garlic in the soup!
When digging mussels and ox eyes, he also digs sea melon seeds and picks up snails. He digs whatever he sees.

It wasn't until the whole sack was almost full that he dragged it to the beach and shook another sack out of the bamboo basket.

"Are you tired, Dongzi, you really prepared two sacks, why are you so diligent, one sack is not enough, do you want to rest for a while?" Xiao Xiao lit a cigarette, watching Ye Yaodong busy with leisure.

"It's not good if you don't work hard. It costs a lot of money to build a house. My elder brother and second brother went to sea with my father. All the money I earned was used to build the house. I also have to work hard. It's okay to spend more seafood as food for the workers." It can reduce the expenses of the family."

"Otherwise, I have to pick stones and transport sand. If I don't do anything else, my father will break my leg."

Ah Zheng chuckled: "Heh~ Your father must be just talking about it. Does he know that you can't lift your shoulders or your hands? You've grown up so much, and you've been beaten a lot, so what does it matter?"

"You can't say that. My eldest son is already 5 years old. Don't I lose face when I'm an old man? Besides, building a house is also a big deal. How can I not care about it? I must help do something. Wait. After the separation, I still have to support the family."

Xiao Xiao nodded: "It makes sense!"

Ah Zheng then said positively: "Anyway, we are idle when we are idle, so let's help you tomorrow."

"It's a hot day..."

"It's okay, we can help you casually."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Either I'll go back and ask the workers if they have called enough. If not, you can help me."

"There are enough people, and we can come to help. Anyway, we don't need to calculate the wages, just take care of the food."

"Okay, I will take care of the food for sure, then you can figure it out, go if you have time, and forget it if you don't."

While talking, he had already pried out half of the bag of spats. He didn’t have time to open the sea oysters right now. Instead, he dug out the whole spats and threw them into sacks, and waited for the women who brought them home to open them slowly. .

"Will you help me carry that sack onto the boat first?"

"Row!"

As a result, as soon as the sack was carried on board, they realized that they had done a stupid thing!
