Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 62 Amberjack

  The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the typhoon the night before was like a dream, but Ye Yaodong was already sweating profusely from his home to the beach.

  Think about it, it’s still cool in typhoon days, it would be even better if there is no rain leaking in the house.

  The glare of the sun forced him to squint his eyes, "Oh~ there are quite a lot of people on the beach."

"After the typhoon, the tide has receded again. Everyone knows to come out to try their luck. In addition, the day before yesterday you took advantage of the typhoon and picked up a squid. It spread all over the village. Aren't there many people today?" Ye Father frowned and said.

   "Are you still going?"

   "It's all here, go down and have a look."

  Most of the beach is a group of women and children with buckets, as well as young people with nothing to do. When they meet people they know, everyone greets them one after another.

"have you eaten yet?"

   "Are you coming too?"

   "What did you find?"

  Um...all these words...

  Ye Yaodong didn't stop and pulled Lin Xiuqing out of the army, and went straight to the reef area, which is the area where the big cargo was found the day before yesterday. Let others pick up the small fish, shrimp and clams on the beach.

   "Father, don't run away, wait for us..."

  Ye Yaodong: You idiot!

  He didn't look back, what are they waiting for?

  The tide was just receding, and they hadn't receded below the reef. After running halfway, they could only walk slowly with the tide.

  Ye Yaodong saw a big bass rolling with the waves ahead, he quickly let go of Lin Xiuqing's hand, took off his rain boots, and rushed straight into the sea with a bucket in his hand.

  Lin Xiuqing didn't see it, and didn't know why he rushed to the sea suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing? The waves will hit again soon."

   "You wait there, don't move."

  Ye Yaodong stopped when the sea was waist-full, looking for the bass just now. The waves kept rolling there, and almost floated him.

Just when a wave rolled up, he saw the perch again, which was one meter in front of him to the right. There are too many, and it jumped out again as soon as it was fished out.

  He took the bucket and chased after it, just as the sea water floated down, it swam in by itself...

  Ye Yaodong held the bucket high over his shoulders, and then hurried to the shore, when the waves hit him one by one, his whole body was wet from head to toe, and he felt very comfortable.

  Lin Xiuqing went up to meet her, "Why are you still running into the sea to catch it? How dangerous..."

"It's okay, I can swim, I'm not afraid, and it's not too far away. The sea water reaches my chest and can't drown me." He handed the bucket to her again, "The big bass weighs four or five catties, how much is it worth?" It's a dollar."

   "Well, be careful."

   "Ah~ there is a big snail~"

  The floating tide just pushed a snail to their feet. Lin Xiuqing happily picked it up, "I didn't expect that the snails would be delivered to the door even if they were standing still. There is meat inside, so it's not empty. Is this a ringing snail?"

"Um!"

   "Would you like to break it open and have a look?"

  Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, "You think you have another baby, don't you?"

  Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, "He's so big!"

   "I don't have this snail, let's sell it for money!"

   "If you don't have it, you don't have it." She wasn't disappointed either. To have a Merlot bead is already an adventure, and it's not bad to pick up a large conch for nothing.

  The couple walked forward with the tide, and they didn't pick up much other seafood, but they almost picked up a bucket of clams.

  Ye Yaodong took out the sack in his pocket as usual and shook, "Pour it in!"

  Lin Xiuqing couldn't stop laughing, "Why do you always carry a sack?"

   "I expected this a long time ago. I don't bring a sack to see what you will load later."

  Actually, he was given a memory by the trip to the isolated island a few days ago. Anyway, whenever he comes out, no matter whether he uses it or not, he always carries a sack in his pocket.

   "There are so many people on the beach, two buckets should be enough for us."

   "Where is it enough? This bucket in my hand contains perch, and the bucket in your hand contains clams. If you encounter other goods, what do you pack?"

   "Okay, you are a seasider, you are right!"

  The two of them followed the tide, picking up whatever they could, and never rejecting anyone who came. It wasn't until the tide receded to the area of ​​the reef that Ye Yaodong realized that his second brother and sister-in-law had also followed.

   "What have you picked up? Why are you still carrying them in sacks?" Second Aunt Ye stretched her neck curiously to look at their buckets and sacks, "Ah, what a big bass."

  Clams in sacks are not uncommon. They are all over the beach. They have picked up almost a bucket, and others have also picked up a lot.

  Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "When the tide didn't recede just now, Dongzi saw a perch and rushed into the sea to fish it."

   "Hehe, Yaodong seems to be working a lot recently, the prodigal son has turned around."

  Ye Yaodong ignored her, and walked towards the nearby reef area on his own, and there were people coming this way not far away, so he had to take a look around first.

  Lin Xiuqing let out an awkward laugh and quickly followed.

  Seeing Ye Yaodong bend over to grab two blue crabs, their eyes lit up, and they trotted over without lagging behind.

   "I caught two more blue crabs in one fell swoop. Ah Hua, let's look for them too." The second sister-in-law Ye was overwhelmed with envy. This is a big bass and a big blue crab, and they haven't caught any valuable ones yet.

  Ye Yaohua smiled foolishly and turned around, and caught one after a while. Although it was not as big as Ye Yaodong's two just now, the second sister-in-law Ye also had a smile on her face, as long as there is something to gain.

   "Adong, Adong, come quickly..." Lin Xiuqing suddenly shouted excitedly, "What kind of fish is it? It's so big, it's still moving!"

  Ye Yaodong was excited when he heard her, and said it was so big, he ran over and didn't even pick up the stone crab he just found.

   "This? This is the yellowtail? Isn't it?"

  He looked a little uncertain. After all, the ocean is so big, and he doesn't know all the fish, and some fish look very similar. He thinks this is somewhat similar to the Douberi amberjack he has seen.

   "Where will I know? You ask me, who should I ask?"

  The back of the body is blue-gray to olive, the belly is silvery-white to light brown, and there is another yellow longitudinal band on the side of the body. It should be the yellowtail!

   There are many fish in the straits around the bay, but this one is a bit big.

   "This should be the yellowtail! Ah Hua, come and have a look!"

Ye Yaohua and the others also heard Lin Xiuqing's voice just now, and they were also very curious. He walked over to have a look, and said with some uncertainty, "This fish seems to be Dushi yellowtail. I seem to have seen it when I was moving goods at Yujing Wharf. .”

   "This... This fish should be more than one meter long, right? It looks like it weighs hundreds of catties?" Second Aunt Ye envied and hated, why did all the good luck befall them?

   "This fish can sell for a lot of money, right?"

  Second sister-in-law Ye asked what was in her heart.

   "You have to catch it and ask how much it sells for. I heard that there are a lot of fish in the bay area, and Japan also likes this fish very much. They all use this fish as sashimi!"

   This is a fish that is as famous as salmon in Japan.

   Thank you for your votes and rewards!

   National Day is too busy, and it is a bit difficult to do both shifts, but even if my eyes hurt when I write in the middle of the night, I will try my best to stabilize the two shifts.
