Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 372 Another place to fish

"how do you know?"

   "I still know more, eat it quickly, it tastes good when dipped in soup, it tastes no worse than Xiao Qinglong."

  Ye Yaodong peeled one, handed it directly to her mouth, and said: "Have the three coconut snails in the bucket been opened? There is also a wolf-toothed eel, I will kill it later, and I will make wine to feed you at night."

  Lin Xiuqing looked at the meat that was close at hand, and directly opened her mouth to swallow it.

"I said, why does the eel in the bucket look so fierce? I was almost bitten when I was taking the shrimp steak just now. I just sell it for money. I have a lot of milk, and my milk is increasing every day. What milk do I need? "

   "I plan to keep the three coconut snails until tomorrow. I have enough food for today. The weather is hot now. If the snail meat is picked out and left to fry tomorrow, it will not be fresh. Should I wait until tomorrow?"

  Ye Yaodong nodded, it is impossible for all coconut snails to produce Merlot beads, one of them is already lucky, and he is not in a hurry.

   "Eat more milk. The child is still young and eats less. As he grows up, he will eat more. How about this meat and scallion oil? Is it delicious?"

   "Well, like a lobster."

  Ye Chenghu looked at his father and then at his mother. He bit his chopsticks and said eagerly, "I want to eat too. Daddy, peel one for me."

"What are you peeling? I'm already six years old. If I eat something, I still need to be peeled. This has been cut in half, and I opened my mouth. I just dig it out, can't I? You have to be taught to eat, so what else do you eat?" ?”

  Ye Chenghu stared wide-eyed, "My mother peeled you off and put it in your mouth."

   "Your mother is your mother. Hurry up and eat. It's been a long time, and a bowl of rice is still good. What are you still looking at? Who are you counting on? Shall I help you eat the meal?"

  Ye Chenghu pursed his mouth, resigned to his fate, took one and peeled it, dug it out with chopsticks, bit it with his mouth, and the whole meat came out.

   "Isn't it possible?"

  After Lin Xiuqing brought out the crabs from the pot, she took off her apron and sat down. She also peeled one for her youngest son, and said with a smile, "This meat is quite delicious, eat it quickly."

  Ye Chenghu's mouth is so full that he can hang pork, "Peel it for Yangyang, but not for me."

   "How old are you, how old is he? You can't stop your mouth even if you eat it, it's long-winded, eat it quickly."

  Ye Chenghu hummed and continued to eat.

  Ye Yaodong took a crab and peeled it open, and when he saw the red paste inside, he handed it to Lin Xiuqing, and said casually, "Didn't I tell you to use it to fry the spicy crab..."

   "Don't be naughty, some are good to eat. I have limited cooking skills. If you want to eat it, next time you cook it yourself. It's troublesome to eat it without the shell."

   Seafood is easy to cook, just put it in the water, or steam it with soy sauce and vinegar, but it is troublesome to eat. These shells have to be peeled for a long time, and there is not much meat.

   "It's good to have something to eat, but it's too much trouble? How many people used to have no food and ran to the beach just to have a bite to eat. I heard that my grandpa still came here begging for food."

   "Yeah... I know, I know that you are an honor to know that your ancestors have been poor peasants for eight lifetimes, so hurry up and eat."

  Ye Yaodong felt that her attitude was a bit perfunctory, and raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Comrade Lin Xiuqing, your attitude is not good... My grandfather is also your grandfather... Um..."

  Lin Xiuqing just peeled a shrimp steak, which was originally intended for the eldest son, but to save him from moaning, he heard Ye Yaodong rambling, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

   "Eat yours! Aren't you tired from going to sea? Why are you talking so much nonsense? You're still rambling on, so hurry up and go to bed after eating."

   "It's rare that I'm in a good mood today, and I want to say a few more words, so you treat me like this."

   "Did you find the money?"

   "Almost, I played tricks on the troublemaker by the way."

  The abalones and sea cucumbers that Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng dug in the water were sold for almost 80 yuan, and he divided a third of them into more than 20 yuan.

   "There are so many things going on at sea during this time?"

   "It's nothing, it's not a big deal." He briefly talked about what happened at sea when he came back.

   "Why are you still haunted? Then change your location tomorrow and don't go there."

   "I know..."

  Suddenly, there was a cry of a baby, and Lin Xiuqing immediately put down her chopsticks as soon as she ate half of her meal.

   "I'll hug, I'll hug, you eat your meal." Ye Yaodong reacted faster than her.

   He hasn't seen the child for a day, and he still has strange thoughts in his heart.

  He stopped crying as soon as he was hugged, and he felt a little flattered.

  Lin Xiuqing followed in, "Are you tired or hungry?"

   "No, the **** is not wet... ah..."

   As soon as the words fell, he said that his buttocks were not wet, and then his big palm became wet.

   "Come on, you go wash your hands and eat!" Lin Xiuqing took the child from him.

   "This guy, you really don't see outsiders. He gave me a big gift just after he came back."

   "It would be nice if I didn't give you gold."

   "yue~"

  At two o'clock in the morning, Ye Yaodong had just left the shore when his father started burning the talisman papers again.

  He said helplessly: "Why did you start burning this again?"

   "What do you know? You were lucky yesterday, what if you run into it again? First go around three times to get rid of bad luck, keep safe, increase luck, and gain a lot today."

  Ye Yaodong just stood there and let his father play with him, "It's hard to talk about luck."

"It's hard to say, but it's better to burn two. Like you, Uncle Lin, I heard that the oars broke when I went to sea a few days ago. The fishing net broke again the next day, and the machine broke the third day. It’s broken again, all kinds of things are not going well, and on the fourth day, burning a few pieces of talisman paper will go smoothly.”

   "Huh? Then he was delayed for three days, but he lost a lot."

   "Isn't it? I only heard about it in the evening. Sometimes it's hard to talk about luck. You have to believe what you have to believe."

  He nodded, the old man knows a lot, he lost this inheritance in his previous life, no one taught him, told him these things.

  Although I heard some mysterious things from others, who knows the truth? Or is it bragging and making up and exaggerating?

   After the talisman paper in his hand was burned to ashes and floated to the sea, Father Ye walked towards Ye Yaodong, "I'll open it, you go hang the bait."

  Ye Yaodong saw the three big baskets full of fish, sighed in his heart, and rolled up his sleeves resignedly. Longline fishing is such a troublesome thing, and there are so many baits to hang the fishing line.

  Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua have always stayed in the same place to fish, which is the sea area that Ye's father took them out to sea in the beginning. After all, they are familiar with the surrounding area.

  Moreover, the offshore fishing areas are gradually formed. Wherever people often fish, that place is almost considered their "responsibility field", and a tacit understanding has gradually formed.

  When Ye Yaodong arrived, it was still dark, and there were two small circular lights flashing in the surrounding sea area. I don't know whose boat it was, and whether his elder brother and second brother were also in it.

  When he set off before, he had already seen that the cart of his elder brother and second brother had disappeared at the door.

  They make money much more diligently than him.

  Wait for his father to sail the boat around the surrounding waters to check if anyone is setting nets nearby. After he was sure, he slowed down and started to release the hooks.

  When the sun was hanging in the sky, it was almost noon, and after they had dragged two nets, they saw Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua's boats. They were just pulling up their nets, and the two boats were not far away.

  Ye Yaodong picked up the simple red flag on the boat, waved it at them, and then sailed towards them.

  Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also discovered them.

   "Father? Uh... Dongzi?"

  Ye Yaopeng called out uncertainly, and then looked at the logo on the boat, and his father was also at the side, so he was sure that it was his younger brother.

   Ye Yaodong's head is really covered, how can he recognize it? I don't know why it's wrapped like this, can you see it?

   "Why are you here today?"

  Ye Yaodong said casually, "Try your luck another way, have you dragged two nets?"

   "Yeah, when this net is caught, I'm going to collect squid, so if you come here today, aren't you going to catch squid at sea?"

   "No more fishing, there were not many yesterday, and it was only a hundred catties after fishing all afternoon, and there must be less today. I plan to trawl."

   "It's okay. We just dragged two nets, and they are still in stock. There are a lot of mackerel and mullet."

   "Then you can do your work."

  Father Ye also warned, "If there are fewer squids today, go drag the net and don't waste time."

   "We know, that's what we planned."

   "Then you can figure it out yourself."

   After saying hello, they went to work on their own, anyway, they were all in the same sea area.

  After Ye Yaodong put the fishing net down, he went to pick out the net that was dragged up earlier. In addition to mackerel and black mullet, the squid also weighed about ten catties, and other miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crab.

   In spring, there are actually quite a lot of fish caught. After a whole winter of repairing, the fish are active, but the rain is too much to delay things.

He picked out all the squids individually. During this period of time, they ate squids twice a day. They had enough to eat. He planned to save some small ones to dry the squids. The first net also dragged seven or eight catties. , put them together first.

  Anyway, I caught a lot during this time, so it’s okay to leave a little to dry.

  After sun-dried squid, it is convenient to store, and immediately after the rainy season and typhoon, I have not gone to sea for a few days, so I am not afraid that there will be no seafood to eat.

  After picking, he was free again, feeling a little bored seeing the sea with his chin propped up.

  At this time, there was a fish jumping out of the water in the distance. He just glanced at it, but he didn't care.

  But after a while, he saw fish jumping into the water one after another on the sea surface. They didn't look small, and they couldn't sit still. Isn't this obviously tempting him?

   To him, a big fish is much more attractive than a woman.

   But he was still trawling the net at the moment. After thinking about it, he went to search in the cabin again, but he only found a fishing line with a hook on it.

  He casually took a small wooden stick, and wound the fishing line on the small wooden stick, "Barely, I can only fish with such a primitive hand line."

   It’s all his father’s fault. He was fishing, but he broke his fishing rod. He said to make him a new one, but he didn’t see him do it. The old man didn’t mean anything.

Whispering, he came out with the coiled fishing line and hook, and saw the fish jumping out of the water from time to time, thinking that it was a good thing that the trawl net had dragged some small miscellaneous fish before, and the small shrimps could be used as bait. All the baits out to sea were used up.

  But when he took a small fish with the length of the **** and put it on the bait, the sea suddenly boiled.

  He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and Father Ye's boat also stopped.
