Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 317 Supplements

  The farce in the early morning gradually came to an end under Mrs. Ye's cursing.

  After a group of children finished their meal, they carried their schoolbags at the door and watched them sort crabs and tie their legs. They were a little reluctant to go to school.

   Mrs. Ye came out after washing the dishes and saw that they were still talking around there. They didn't go to school, so she suddenly became angry, went back to the house, picked up the whip and threw it at them again.

  Of course it was Ye Chenghai who suffered the disaster.

  He jumped up instantly, with a mournful face, "Why did you hit me again?"

   "You were the one who was beaten, and everyone was reluctant to leave when the time came. Didn't you have enough breakfast and waited for the whip?"

   "It's not just me... Hey... Don't run away... Wait for me..."

   I walked slowly, and ended up being whipped again...

   Alas, being the boss is really difficult...

  Ye Yaodong, Ye father and Ye mother sorted the two baskets of crabs while binding them, and the old lady was also slowly helping.

   It only took a little time for the four of them to pick out all the crabs and tie their feet.

  Those who were thinner, those with broken big feet, and those who died, they kept and ate them by themselves, and the ones that were intact weighed more than 40 kilograms. The vitality of the crabs is still quite tenacious.

  The more than ten catties he kept for himself, he let his mother figure it out and distribute it to relatives and friends.

  Although there are not many in each basket, they have to be packed in baskets after sorting. By the way, the large yellow croaker caught last night was also carried on the cart.

  Sent to the pier, the crab sold for more than 12 yuan, the large yellow croaker sold for more than 16 yuan, and the two together sold for less than 29 yuan.

   This can be regarded as a windfall.

  He happily received the order, and asked Ah Cai to help him save another 50 catties of miscellaneous fish and shrimps as bait today.

There are still a lot of sandworms in the house, and this can also be used as bait, so the fish and shrimps can be reduced appropriately. If it is not for the variety of baits, and he also wants to dry more sandworms, otherwise he does not need to buy them at all. , It is enough to use sandworms as bait.

  He went home happily. He didn't know when the two big baskets of sandworms would have to be cleaned up. Fortunately, there were many people at home who could help with the work.

  When I went back, sister-in-law Ye and sister-in-law Ye were also helping to clean up with chopsticks, and they were talking about how they would grab more and come back to dry when the tide was low. The sandworms were indeed delicious, and they could nourish yin and kidney.

  Don’t look at the two baskets here and yesterday’s leftovers. The total amount is quite a lot, but not much is actually dried. A pound of sandworms can probably be dried for more than one or two pounds, and it takes about eight pounds to produce a pound of dry ones.

He left a few more catties as bait, and yesterday he brought a bucket back to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and the rest is estimated to be about six or seven catties. , it’s really not that much, the whole family is only enough to share a catty or two...

   No, I have to send Lin Guangyuan to catch more in the afternoon!

Mother Ye also said there: "When the tide ebbs in the afternoon, I will go with you and catch more. This is delicious no matter how you cook it. After the spring, there is a lot of rain, and I haven't gone to the sea much. I don't have much stock at home. I eat all the dry goods. It's almost done, let's get more sun."

   "We thought so too..."

   Today is the 16th day of the lunar calendar, the tide is full at 1:00 pm, and lasts for more than an hour. The G tide will gradually start to recede, and it will recede to the end at 7:00 pm.

   Just in time, the younger ones are out of school at that time in the afternoon, so they can be sent out!

  He is not afraid that there will be no sandworms to catch them today. Usually, it will last for a few days when they come out to mate and reproduce. If there is no beach on the surface, they can be found by digging under the sand.

  Just when they were busy, Aunt Lan and her three daughters-in-law next door came to clean the house, saw it, and came over to say hello.

   "Yo~ there are so many sandworms? They were caught on the beach, you guys go to the beach so early to catch them?"

Sister-in-law Lan also said: "It weighs dozens of catties, and it can dry a lot. How long have you been pretending? There should be more when the tide goes out in the afternoon, right? We'll catch some when the time comes, it's very fresh. "

  Mother Ye smiled: "The house has been built for a few days, when will you move?"

   "It will be half a month before we have a day. Let's take the time to come over and clean it in advance. We also need to tidy up around the door and get a small piece of land to grow some vegetables."

   "It is necessary to grow a la carte. We have little land around here, so we can only grow a little bit to eat at home."

   "Yeah, so I came here early for a whole day. The man is not at home and has gone to sea. Only we women can do it."

  …

  After they said a few words, they went to work in the new house next door.

   Second Aunt Ye was a little unhappy and said: "Well, there are a few more families nearby. Fortunately, the big squid in the first month was found early, otherwise they might be the first to find it."

  Ye Yaodong glanced at his second sister-in-law unexpectedly, his mind was so clear, how could he think so far? It's been a few months...

  Maybe after being defrauded of money, she suddenly earned a large sum of money, which was firmly engraved in her heart. You must know that she thought the new house was a bit out of the way before.

   "Zhou Yongsheng's house will also be built next to it. I heard that they will start work after May 1st." Ye Mu said casually while busy, "It would be good if more families build houses here, and it will be lively."

   "I don't build it together, I keep knocking on it all day long, it's so noisy..."

   "Isn't it always like this when building a house..."

  There are many people and strength is great. Everyone was chatting, and the movements of their hands were not slow. The two baskets of sandworms gradually bottomed out.

  Mother Ye saw that there was only a little left at the bottom and left it to them to dry. She went to fetch water to clean.

  After washing the sandworms, take advantage of the good weather these two days to dry them, and then she has to work on the baskets of anchovies.

  Fish sauce is fermented with small fish and salt. Its practice is amazing, not inferior to the notorious canned herring.

  Ye Yaodong watched as his mother poured the small fish into the big tank, mixed it with sea salt at a ratio of 3:2 and began to marinate. As for how much fish sauce a large bag of anchovies can produce, he didn't know, and he didn't calculate it.

After it’s ready, it can be sold. The big tank can’t be eaten by the whole family until the Year of the Monkey, and it can’t be eaten as a meal. It’s just a condiment for freshening up. However, it is indeed indispensable for their local households. of.

   When Father Ye helped Mother Ye, he went to the house to play with the children.

   When the tide ebbed in the afternoon, the family took their tools to the beach, preparing to catch more sandworms.

I don’t know if Aunt Lan’s family next door leaked the news. When the tide ebbed in the afternoon, there were quite a lot of people on the beach. The sandworms in the shallow water beach were swept away as soon as they emerged, so they could only sit on the beach. Hard to dig slowly, the efficiency is greatly reduced.

  The sand-digging worms are not shoveled out directly at the entrance of the cave, but around the entrance of the cave, and then they can be pulled out quickly with a step on the shovel, which will be more efficient.

  At this moment, Father Ye and Mother Ye each took a shovel to turn over there, and Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye picked it up.

  The children came from school and saw that the beach was full of people, and they were stunned.

   "When does this have to be dug?"

   "Dig slowly, it's just a game."

  After a group of helpers came, Ye Yaodong stopped working hard, and started wandering around again, taking a look at other people's harvest.

  Well...not as much as they can catch with a shovel...

  Walking around, I only picked up a few mussels that can spray water, and a few jumping fish.

  There are too many people on the beach, probably almost all of them were picked up.

  Both his hands were full, so he could only walk back, but saw Ye Chenghu stretching out his hand towards a conch on the beach, so scared that he immediately ran forward and kicked it away.

   "Dad?"

   "Don't reach out and pick up everything you don't know." He walked to the snail and said, "Come here."

  Ye Chenghu went over with a puzzled face, "Huh?"

"Teach you to recognize this. This is called a cone snail. The front of the shell is thin and thin, and the back is thick. The shape is a bit like a chicken's heart or a taro. This is very poisonous, and there are poisonous teeth in the small opening, which can shoot out venom. Touching it can make it You are dead."

   There are a lot of small seafood on the beach to pick up, but there are also deadly things, you need to be careful, especially in this era, the ocean is rich in products, and unknown things often appear on the beach.

  Ye Chenghu was frightened for an instant, and remained motionless.

   "In the future, don't touch things you don't know." He looked at the children who gathered around him, "It's the same with you. Be careful when you come to the beach. Don't pick up things you don't know."

   "Oh, I see Third Uncle."

"Go and play!"

  After asking them to identify it carefully, he kicked the conch snail far away into the sea. This snail is actually very recognizable.

   Seeing that Ye Chenghu was still in place, he patted his head again, "Go dig sandworms, and I'll give you pocket money later!"

   "Really?" Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up in surprise.

  Children are forgetful.

   "Really, only by working hard, go."

  He ran off again, forgetting about this episode.

  The whole family came out right after the low tide, worked hard for two or three hours, and only dug about 20 catties when they got back from the meal, and they were disgusted by the children.

   "Not as much as we caught yesterday!"

   "Not as many as we caught at night!"

"Too many people!"

  Ye Yaodong also felt that the efficiency was too low today, and he still had to put these things through the back door in the future.

   "Little uncle, at night we..."

  Ye Yaodong knocked him on the head unceremoniously, "Stay home and sleep with me at night, if I find you sneaking to the beach, I will send you home tomorrow, and I will never let you come to play again."

  Lin Guangyuan stopped talking immediately, "I mean, what time do you go to sea at night?"

   "It's past two o'clock."

   "Then what time are you coming back?"

   "I don't know what time it is in the afternoon. It depends on the situation, the tide, the weather, and the harvest."

"All right."

   "I want to go to sea to play, wait until you are older."

"All right."

  Because he was going to sea at night, Ye Yaodong went to sleep after returning from literacy class.

  He went to the literacy class with the attitude of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. He only went to the literacy class when he was free, so he has not yet graduated.

   315 was tried for driving, waiting
