Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 29

  Chapter 29 Return with a rewarding experience

  Ye Yaodong walked down to the shallow water area with the bucket again, and when he got close, he shouted at them, "Have you gained anything?"

   "Is picking up a cat's eye conch count as a harvest?" A Guang looked depressed.

   "Talk is better than nothing." He walked towards Ah Guang and returned the bucket to him.

   "I'm too embarrassed to hold such a big bucket when it's empty."

   "Hahaha~" He also felt a little funny, "It's okay, just go back and change your name!"

   "Hey~ Let's talk again, one snail still burns firewood, it's a waste, let's make up the number for you!" Then he threw it into Ye Yaodong's bucket, with a ding-dong sound.

   "Look again, the tide has just ebbed, and the tide hasn't risen so fast, so there may be something to gain."

   "It doesn't matter, you go on, I'll go to the reef wall to see if there is anything to pick up." Ah Guang shrugged and walked directly to the edge of the reef wall.

   "I just visited the reef wall here yesterday. I picked up the slightly larger sea melon seeds and snails, and I also opened all the sea oysters that can be opened. There must be nothing for you to go there now."

   "It doesn't matter, I'll walk around casually, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to eat first."

   "Okay, then you can see for yourself, the sun is so big, it's better to go back and rest early if you don't get anything."

"Um."

  Ye Yaodong looked around and his friends should have been looking for him, so he simply walked towards the rocks near the shore.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as I took a few steps, I felt something hard under my feet. I squatted down and saw a cat's eye whelk poking out from under the sand.

  He picked it up, and scraped with his thumb while pinching the soft flesh exposed on the head of the cat's-eye snail, which was full of seawater and could not be retracted in time.

  Zi~Several streams of water flew out~

  He chuckled lightly, rushed away to Ah Guang who was in front, and said, "Ah Guang, look, even when I walked behind you, I picked up an opal shell, which was quite a big one."

   "Grass!" Ah Guang turned his head to look, and cursed, "I just walked over."

  Ye Yaodong threw it into the bucket, and said with a smile: "It should be my luck these two days!"

   "I shouldn't come out today. It's so comfortable to stay at home and sleep. I'm really too full to go out to bask in the sun." He said as he walked around the reef.

  Under the scorching sun, Ye Yaodong continued to hunt for treasures on the beach, but he didn't find any big ones after that. It really depends on luck to catch the sea.

  Forty years later, even if there is a high tide, there are not so many things to pick up on the beach, only some jumping fish, stone crabs, and big clams.

   I don't know what the reason is, it may be due to overfishing in the ocean, or it may be the cause of pollution. There are fewer seafood. Only some uninhabited islands will have more seafood.

   Watching the tide come up little by little, everyone wanted to go back. It was already past one o'clock, and they were all starving to death.

   "Go back, there should be nothing to pick up, the tide is coming." Xiao Xiao shook the bucket and shouted at everyone.

   "Okay, okay, go back, it's too hot."

   "I didn't pick up a lot of things, but Dongzi picked them up."

  Ye Yaodong glanced at his half-full bucket, and felt quite satisfied, "I didn't find anything behind me, only stone crabs and jumping fish. There should be a bowl of these two things."

   "That tiger spot is enough for you, it is already worth the ticket, today's trip is not in vain."

   "And that nest of snow clams! If you make money, you can make up two or three bowls of scattered seafood."

  He smiled, he had a really good harvest today, and there will be a big tide tomorrow, so he can continue to come and see if his luck is really good.

   "Let's go, I'm going back, I'm so hungry." He casually kicked the big rock at his feet, and he planned to go back.

  Who knew that the moment he was about to turn around, a tentacles protruded from under the stone, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Octopus?"

   "Huh? You found the octopus again?" Ah Zheng, who was not far away from him, hurried over.

   "It's really good at hiding. If I hadn't kicked my foot, it probably wouldn't have stretched out its tentacles."

   "Catch it out and see if it is a red badge, black badge or white badge. The tentacles are quite small, so it shouldn't be too big."

   There are three kinds of octopus that are common in their sea area. The white octopus is also called Wangchao. It is small in size, but it is the most expensive and has the best taste. The red badge is next, and the black badge is the cheapest, and the quality of the meat is not that good, and it is often impossible to bite.

  He stretched out his hand along the tentacles, and grabbed it vigorously, "It's still tightly wrapped, it's a black badge, trash."

   "Alright, it's better than none of us."

   "Dongzi, you are lucky today! Before you leave, you can still find a black badge."

   "Look at your bucket, today's harvest is not small."

Ye Yaodong looked at the octopus tightly wrapped around his wrist, and tried to throw it into the bucket but couldn't get it in. He could only use his other hand to tear it off and throw it in, but when he threw it in, its tentacles got entangled again. Climb out on the barrel.

   "Damn, I can really climb, but I can only hold it in my hands. You can help me move that rock, move it to see if there is any under it?"

   "Do you think there is another litter?"

   Having said that, everyone worked together to help turn the stone over.

   "Damn, there really are", he was pleasantly surprised, "It's a pity that it's a little smaller."

   "It's a black chapter again, it's okay, it's always good to gain something!"

  Xiao Xiao squatted aside to help grab it, and put it in Ye Yaodong's hand, "Okay, you can go back, you really came back today with a lot of rewards."

  He grinned, he could indeed have an extra meal in the evening, and today is not a waste of work, some food and money.

   "It's okay for you to look at. Although there are no good products, you can make up a bowl or two of small things."

   Ah Zheng shook the bucket in his hand, "It's not bad, it's more than enough than the top, and it's more than the bottom, huh~ Where's Ah Guang?"

   Originally, I wanted to make fun of Ah Guang, but I didn't expect to see anyone.

   After his reminder, everyone realized that Ah Guang seemed to have disappeared.

   "Ah Guang went around the reef before, and didn't gain anything, so he went back first if he was upset." It's not that he didn't gain anything, he patronized it yesterday, it's strange to have something.

   "Bai came out to bask in the sun." Awei gloated a little.

   "It's okay, let's gather things together and take him to his house for a drink at night." Ye Yaodong suggested.

  Among friends, it's normal for you to eat mine and I to eat yours. Yesterday he even had a meal in vain.

   "Okay, it's pretty impressive if everyone gathers together, and we can have a decent table."

   "Call the fat man, it's fine if the mouse is not at home."

   "The fat man won't come to bask in the sun, but he will definitely come to drink!"

   "It's just right for him to bring two catties of home-brewed rice wine."

   "This can be."

  Everyone has already arranged the dinner and drinks for the evening.
