Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 193

  Chapter 193 I am not trash now

  After Ye Yaodong sold all the remaining fish, large and small, the total was almost 50 yuan, and about 8 catties of soft silk, which sold for more than 5 yuan.

  The villagers who have not yet left are moved again. Compared with the harvest, what is the money for this little bait?

  Ask Ye Yaodong why he placed a thousand hooks, and only collected two rounds in total, and sold so many goods, and he figured it all out.

  With 1,000 hooks, it's amazing to collect dozens of fish plus other goods in one round. You must know that there are no small fish caught in the longline, and you can collect several rounds at intervals a day.

  Ye Yaodong doesn't mind the villagers following suit, the sea area is so wide.

  He loaded so much cargo, there are still baskets on the boat, and the fishing line hooks that have not been lifted, everyone can see it.

  After collecting all the receipts, he took two of the 4 soft silks left over and gave them to his father. This one weighed more than half a catty, and he also kept two 2-jin mackerel fish, which he shared with each other.

   Goods need to be sold, and food needs to be eaten.

  After making an appointment for departure at 3:00 in the morning, Ye Yaodong pushed the cart to the house. In addition to the bait, the cart was loaded with ten baskets of hooks.

  He wants someone to tidy it up overnight and send it over. The loss of the hook is not too big today. It should be almost done if two people tidy it up for two or three hours. I guess I will have to rest and repair it slowly the day after tomorrow.

  By the time he got home, it was already pitch black, and the elder and the younger hadn't eaten yet, and they were all waiting for him.

  Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you, don't wait for me if it's too late, you and the two children will eat first."

   "It's not too late now, it's just getting dark early, eat first, and take a bath later."

   "I brought back a mackerel. You can figure it out tomorrow. I caught a lot of soft fish today. I brought two back. You feed the little ones, and I'll boil the water."

  Lin Xiuqing nodded, the youngest son is the most troublesome to eat.

  In addition to fish, seafood is very fresh when it is boiled. There is no need for complicated cooking methods such as frying, frying, and stewing. Seaside people also eat very lightly.

   After the two pieces of soft silk are cooked, they are cut into sections like donuts. It is easy and delicious to eat with soy sauce and vinegar. Not only adults love it, but his two sons eat it directly with their hands.

After the separation, he can keep whatever he wants every day, and he will bring back different things every day, and he always asks his wife to cook dry rice. If there is not enough rice, he spends money to ask the villagers to share it. Shi Shi's complexion is obviously much better, and there is a little more meat.

  Lin Xiuqing is the same, her face looks much ruddy.

  Before, the whole family had to eat and drink, and it was difficult for Ye Mu.

After Ye Yaodong had a full meal, he didn't bother to take a bath. After taking a look at the ambergris in the room that was still in good condition, he ran to Ah Zheng's house in a hurry while it was still early, and borrowed his hand to throw the net. A piece of wood came back.

   After he came back, he took a shower and the children were asleep, so he had time to touch the piece of ambergris.

  Lin Xiuqing also put on some clothes and came out of the house, "What is this? Why does it smell a bit fishy? You're so mysterious?"

  Ye Yaodong smiled, "Don't ask what it is, you just need to know that it is a big treasure, and it is worth more than your Merlot bead."

   "Just such an ugly stone?"

  Lin Xiuqing was surprised. Although the Meile Bead looks small, it is beautiful and very pleasing to the eye. This ugly broken stone in front of me is actually worth more than the Meile Bead?

  She couldn't believe it.

   "Well, don't tell anyone. If this thing gets out, our family will never be able to live in peace. Take it out to dry at night, and it can only be stored after it is air-dried."

   "What is it?"

   "You will know in the future, and don't let the children see it. Children don't keep the door open."

   "Well, don't ask if you don't ask." Although she was curious, she didn't have to know.

  The piece of wood that Ye Yaodong brought back was simply carved with a knife according to the shape of this piece of ambergris.

   It doesn't need to be exactly the same, as long as they are roughly similar in shape. After all, people just looked at them from a distance, so how can they remember so clearly.

   "What are you doing again?"

   "Make a knockoff, just in case."

   "Is this thing really so valuable? Are you so cautious?"

  Ye Yaodong thought about it, and told her what happened in the sea, but he didn't say what it was.

   "You think they're going to come after you."

   "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case the family comes to their senses and remembers what this thing is, they will definitely come to the door, and a fake can also plug their mouths and save trouble."

"oh."

  After Ye Yaodong carved the shape into a similar shape, he went out to a small shop to buy two buckets of paint, one white and one gray. The piece of ambergris was light gray, and he tried to make it a little bit similar.

   Fishing boats by the sea often need to be painted and maintained. It is very convenient to buy two buckets of paint in the village.

   "Go back to the house and go to sleep. The paint smells strong. You should smell it less. I'll just use the back door to clean it."

  Lin Xiuqing nodded, she felt that he was messing around a bit.

  Ye Yaodong took a broken tile, put a little paint of two colors on the tile, stirred it, and adjusted the color to be almost similar, then painted the wood, and then repaired it.

  By using the light in the room, he compared the two pieces together. The difference was huge when seen up close, but they were very similar when viewed from a distance. He would think they were the same thing.

  Anyway, he doesn't need to make it the same, and Li Lao Er didn't hold it in his hand to see it, just look at it from a distance.

   After finishing, put both of them in a hidden place to dry naturally. Fortunately, their home is in a good location, there are no residents around, and the eldest brother and second brother can't walk to his side when they go to the latrine at night.

  After the ten baskets and row hooks were sorted out and delivered, he inspected them before putting away the things and going back to the house to sleep.

  In the early morning, I deliberately got up early to put away the two real and fake ambergris, put the fake one directly on the scooter, and took it with me when I went out to sea. I agreed to bring it with a float, so it will look real if I use it for sure.

The real ambergris would not dry overnight, so he put it in a basket with a towel in it, and hung it on the wall near the door to continue to dry, so that his daughter-in-law would not go out if she had nothing to do, so she sat at the door and weaved a net, watching .

After breakfast, he brought another boxed lunch, and he pushed the cart out, but he didn't expect that the wind would blow up again at night, and the boat hadn't gone far before the waves rolled, and the boat shook so badly that everyone was scared. He had to hold on to things to stand still, and the waves still hit the boat from time to time, so he had to return.

  Other ships also went out not far away, and they returned when they saw that it was really dangerous.

  The hope of going to sea has failed, and the bait can't be wasted. I bought some ice cubes and sent them directly to A Cai. I will come back to get them when I go to sea tomorrow.

  Ye Yaodong went back to sleep again.

  Since he can't go to sea today, he plans to go to the town to buy materials and ask his mother to help weave a big net.

   "Do you want to go around town together?"

   "Don't you want to go? It's fine if I go, I don't have anything to buy."

"Go buy a few pieces of cloth, buy a few catties of cotton, and make some thick padded jackets. It's getting colder, and it won't be convenient for you to go out in two months. The old lady has to make her two thicker padded jackets." Cotton jacket, I won't buy these."

  Lin Xiuqing frowned, "Do the whole family? Is it too much? Is it too early?"

"What's the matter? You feel the padded jackets in the closet. They are all lumpy. Make them in advance and put them away, so you won't be in a hurry. If you suddenly get cold and the clothes don't keep you warm, you have to spend money to buy medicine. We also have some money on hand now, so we don't need to be so tight, didn't we just earn more than 170 for you yesterday?”

"All right."

   Spending money to buy medicine, this convinced her.

  After Ye Yaodong brought the two children to Mother Ye, he took the ambergris to hang in the room, and then locked the door before going out in peace.

  The fishermen in the countryside don't have receipts, and they don't go to the supply and marketing cooperatives. There are many things that can be bought without receipts in the alleys, and the prices are cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperatives, so the source is not very serious.

  Lin Xiuqing went to several shops in the alley, compared and compared, and finally bought two 3-meter thick cotton cloths of different colors, the cheapest navy blue thick cotton cloth of 9 meters, and 6 catties of cotton.

   "Is it enough?" Ye Yaodong didn't know how to make clothes, but he also felt that 6 catties of cotton was too little.

  Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, didn't speak, just checked out and left, and urged him to buy fishing net materials quickly.

  Ye Yaodong saw that she had finished all the shopping, so he had to go to the fishing tackle store to buy materials for weaving nets. After returning, he found out that his wife had bought all the fabrics for the whole family, the old lady bought two sets, but he didn't buy any.

   No wonder he felt that there was a little shortage of calico. Last time when she made a dress for him, she told him that he needed to buy two meters, and the same was true for cotton.

  He pursed his lips a little unhappy.

  Lin Xiuqing explained: "I was thinking that I could make two sets of cotton by removing the cotton inside the old padded jacket. There is no need to spend that money..."

   Seeing that his face was dark, she felt a little guilty for some reason, obviously she also wanted to save a little money, and she spent more than 60 yuan on fabrics, cotton, and fishing net materials when she went out today...

She pulled his sleeve with an apologetic smile, "I didn't go out at home, and it's not like the two children are still growing. There is no need to make new clothes this year. I will do it with you after the New Year. Except for the old lady's, you all bought only one set today.”

  It's okay if she didn't say it, but Ye Yaodong's face turned darker after talking about it, and it turned out that the quantity was reduced again...

   "I only bought a set of cotton clothes and trousers?"

   "Old lady's two sets!"

   "Am I not working hard to make money now?"

Lin Xiuqing had never seen him angry before. He always had a playful smile on his face, and he always turned his bad face on others. After several years of marriage, he never let go of his face towards her. Suddenly, she felt very uncomfortable and confident. It is also very insufficient...

  I also feel that I seem to have done something wrong.

   She peeked into his eyes, hooked his fingers cautiously, and said tentatively, "Are you angry?"

  Ye Yaodong looked at her rare guilty conscience, was silent for a long time, then sighed helplessly, and held her hand behind his back.

   "Why do you wrong yourself so much? I can make money now, so I am not a waste."
