Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 466

  Chapter 466 Recovering the Ground Cage

   Debt free.

  Even if he only owes a few hundred yuan, Ye Yaodong doesn't want to owe it if it is not necessary. He will be comfortable if he pays it back immediately, and he can sleep with peace of mind.

   It wasn't until the afternoon that he woke up that he realized that his father had already been here, and rumors spread all over the village. Everyone knew that their family had deliberately brought the goods to the city and sold them at a good price.

  In their small village, word spreads quickly. Who doesn't have seven aunts and eight aunts?

   It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. Anyway, he didn't take it to heart. He worked all day, and he didn't have time to hang around, and he couldn't hear what everyone said there, and he didn't lose a piece of meat.

   No, just after waking up, he stood at the door and took a look at the tide, and planned to go to the beach to collect the cage. It's already afternoon, the tide has been full for almost two days, and now it has receded a bit, and the ground cages are exposed, and it is almost ready to be collected, and I don't know how much we can collect.

  Lin Xiuqing looked at his rain boots from the side, and said, "The rice is still warm in the pot, why don't you go after eating some food first? Just in time, I'll call Dad over and ask him to help collect it later."

   "No need, I'm not hungry now, just wait for dinner after collecting the cages, so as to save irregular meals and keep you busy."

   "Then you ride a bicycle and ask Dad to come and collect it together. The two of you should hurry up and collect it more easily, so that one person will not be in a hurry."

   "Well, I know."

  Lin Xiuqing originally wanted to ask him about the shop and the final payment, but seeing that he seemed a little anxious, she swallowed it back and planned to ask again at night.

   Really, there was no chance for her to speak at noon.

  She was also worried that she would make people think too much after being in the room for too long. After all, she came here twice, and rushed out after finishing the work, without asking a few questions carefully about the follow-up matters.

  Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle to go to the old house to call his father, but unexpectedly the old house was empty, only the small room where the old lady lived at the back door, there was a pig humming there.

   He asked his neighbors and found out that his mother went to work today, and I heard that she was so busy that she didn't have time to come back at noon. His father went up to the mountain to hunt pigweed with his second brother and sister-in-law when he had nothing to do.

  He had no choice but to ask the neighbor to leave a message, and he went back to collect the cage first.

  Scattered by the beach, some people are still picking up scallops. The tide has receded a little, and everyone comes to try their luck.

  No one dared to think about his cage, after all, it was right in front of his house.

  Empty shells are scattered everywhere on the shore, as well as the corpses of small fish and shrimps. Even if there is no sun in summer, the temperature is not too low. It has been stranded for two days, and the fishy smell unique to seafood is everywhere.

  The ducks in their family are leisurely pecking at the beach with their heads up and their chests up. Some eat, but they don't quack. They have eaten their bellies full and round in the past two days.

  Next year, ducks can really be raised a little more, and it will save trouble. Just go out and swim by the beach to hunt for food. The same goes for chickens.

   When he was wading through the water to pull the rope at one end of the ground cage, he didn't expect that these ducks also swam into the water behind him.

  He smiled and looked at the quacking ducks beside him paddling their flippers in a neat row, and couldn't help saying, "It's still fun for you guys."

   "quack~"

   "However, your chic life is only half a year, and you can start killing after a few months."

   "quack quack ~"

  After Ye Yaodong talked a few words to himself, he hummed an out-of-key song in a comfortable mood, pulled the rope of the ground cage to the bank, and stood on the bank to close it, so as not to get wet again.

  The heavy weight and the seawater carried it, which made him feel a bit strenuous, but fortunately, he didn't need to soak in the water, and he pulled up the floor cage one by one.

   From time to time, some shrimps and crabs can be seen stuck on the grid, and then fell down into the fish collection bag when he retracted it.

   "Hehe~ There is also a spring fish weighing one catty."

  Ye Yaodong suddenly became excited. This fish may only be worth 50 or 60 cents if it is seven or eight taels, and it will be worth 80 or 90 cents if it is more than one catty.

  Originally, fish and shrimp are more popular and more expensive than ordinary seafood, and spring fish is also more valuable than sea bass.

He picked up the net at a faster speed, and the grids that were picked up were scattered on the ground randomly, and he didn't have time to tidy up at the moment, he had to put up the whole ground cage, and it wouldn't be too late after all the nets were collected. .

  As the ground cage got longer and longer, he also saw a lot of scallops hanging on the net of the ground cage, and then they all fell into the fish collection bag.

  According to the quantity he just saw, these ground cages were not in vain.

  Full of confidence, he dragged the fish bag up with a last effort, and saw a pile of white and gray shells at the bottom, mixed with some still bouncing fish, shrimp and crabs.

  Although in the process of pulling it up, he already knew what was inside, and he didn't feel the joy of opening the blind box, but when he saw the goods inside, he was still happy.

There are two orchid crabs, a safflower crab, a few sword shrimps, a sea oyster snail that is not too small, and some small sea crayfish. The most beautiful one is the spring fish, and The seven or eight catties of scallops were heavy underneath.

  Ye Yaodong took a look and threw the fish collection bag on the beach, went to the floor cart to take down the basket and loaded it. When he just came out, he pushed the cart and the basket out together, so that it was convenient for loading.

  The sound of clattering shells only rang for a few seconds, and they all fell into the basket together with the fish, shrimp and crab.

  Ye Yaodong was the first to take out the spring fish alone, and threw it into the bucket on the cart, and arranged one for it in the luxurious VIP cabin.

   At this time, Lin Xiuqing was also busy with the housework, handed the child over to the old lady, and trotted out to help.

  Holding the basket with both hands, she glanced inside, "How many nets are there?"

   "How many more? One!"

  Ye Yaodong **** the empty fish collection bag again, threw it on the ground, and planned to continue to collect another net along the rope.

"That's so much for one piece? There are seven or eight catties here, right? Did you put four rows of ground cages?" She was surprised, lifted the baskets, and shook them twice, "It seems that there are no shells, only A few clams."

"Well, the ones caught should be alive. If there are no accidents, there are 4 rows of ground cages and 41 nets, and it is no problem to catch a 200-jin cat. You pick out those few fish, shrimps and crabs and put them separately, so you don't have to wait. I collected a few more nets and poured them down, crushing them all."

   "Well, why didn't Dad come?"

   "He and the second brother went up the mountain to hunt pigweed. I haven't come back yet, so I'll put it away." Ye Yaodong was pulling the net vigorously with his hands at the same time as he spoke.

  Lin Xiuqing grabbed the orchid crabs first, and then pressed their backs with his thumb, "These crabs don't seem to be very fat."

  Ye Yaodong turned his head and chuckled lightly, "It's only been a few years since I got married, and now I can feel if the crab is fat or not?"

  She gave him a blank look, "Will it be hard? How can I not know?"

   "Oh~ is it hard?"

   "Barely...well..." Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a smirk on his face, and always felt that he seemed to mean something.

   "It's barely!"

  She said angrily: "Otherwise, in this season, the crabs are not very fat. After another month, the crabs will be full."

   "Yes, very full!"

  Lin Xiuqing frowned and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

   "Be careful, don't get your hands caught by its big feet."

   "Hmm." That's a human saying.

  Men and women are paired, and the work is not tiring. One of the husband and wife collects the net, the other picks the goods, and chats. They don't feel bored at all. It's much better than working alone just now.

  Ye Yaodong took the goods from Yiwang again and poured them into another basket, because he saw that Ah Qing hadn't picked out all the seafood from Yiwang, and saw that she was still picking up crayfish.

  However, she unexpectedly threw the crayfish that was full of palms just now into the sea.

   "Hey, why did you throw away this little sugar shrimp?"

  There are freshwater crayfish in the river, and there are also crayfish in the sea. The two look similar, but the crayfish in the sea are very small, about the size of a white shrimp.

  The crayfish in the sea are called small sugar shrimp locally, but they are actually a kind of crayfish.

  Although it is small in size, the meat quality is not bad at all. Put some potatoes and cucumbers to cook spicy and delicious.

   It's just that no one eats it now, and everyone dislikes its small size, so they either throw it back into the sea or feed it to chickens and ducks.

Lin Xiuqing did the same thing. Anyway, her family's chickens and ducks are kept by the sea. Recently, many fish and shrimps have been stranded on the beach. She is not afraid that they have nothing to eat. She is afraid that they will not finish eating them when they are picked up, and they will stink if left unattended, so She didn't keep it, and threw everything back into the sea.

  Hearing his question now, she was still puzzled, and said innocently: "This is so small, why don't you throw it away and take it back? There are so many small fish and shrimp stranded on the beach, and the chickens and ducks are not afraid of having nothing to eat."

   "Waste things, pick them up and let's eat by ourselves."

   "Nervous, it's so small, what's delicious, it's troublesome to peel, and no one in the village eats it, why do you suddenly want to keep it and eat it?"

   "That's because you don't know how to cook, every day you either steam it or boil it..."

  Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "Aren't all seafood steamed or boiled?"

   "This is delicious when fried and spicy."

   "If you think about it, you can think about it, but I won't."

   "If you don't know how to learn, you won't still say it so confidently. You haven't learned enough lessons at noon, right?"

  Lin Xiuqing clenched her hands into fists in anger and wanted to hit him, but he dodged him, "Don't sneak attack! Work hard for me, and show you a hand tonight."

   "Bah... Shameless, full of filth, and not decent at work..."

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, "Damn it, where are you going? What I said about Lu Yishou was that I will cook you a spicy crayfish tonight. Where are you going? Damn! It turns out that you are the dirtiest..."

  Lin Xiuqing realized that she had misunderstood, her face flushed instantly, and angrily picked up a few small sugar shrimps and threw them at him.

   "Shut up~"

   "Okay, okay ~ don't talk, don't talk ~"

   "Don't laugh~"

   "Okay, okay ~ don't smile, don't smile ~"
