Chapter 180: Harvest is quite rich (1000 monthly tickets plus update)

~11 min read 2,155 words

A Zheng scratched his head and said innocently: "I didn't say it wrong!"

Xiao Xiao laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, slapped his thigh wildly, and coughed violently~

"Right, right, your metaphor is too vivid, too image-like, not wrong at all, hahahaha~"

A Zheng rolled his eyes and slapped away the hand that was tightly grabbing his pants, "Sick! Go away, don't pull my pants!"

"Hahaha~ I didn't know it could be compared like this, first grade really didn't study in vain!"

"Die to one side!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the two speechlessly. How did he have such strange friends.

"How many blue-banded sea snakes did you harvest?"

Xiao Xiao laughed until he choked. A Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said: "Not much, just seven or eight, maybe it's relatively far away."

"I'll share with you here, there are too many. Lean the boats together and you grab them over. Grab a few more. Anyway, they are all dead. It shouldn't be worth much if you take them back."

"Okay," A Zheng used a hook to hook the side of Ye Yaodong's boat, leaned the two boats together, and crossed over.

But after he got close, he hesitated again and didn't dare to reach out for a long time, "Can you grab them over?"

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Giving you things, and still want me to grab them?"

"Giving people things must be sincere, right?"

"Get lost, want it or not, if you don't want it, I'll take it back and give it to others."

He swallowed, still feeling disgusting, "Xiao Xiao, you come!"

"So useless?" Xiao Xiao came over wearing gloves, endured the disgust, and grabbed one directly from the boat, but was flicked by its tail, scaring him to throw it back again, "Holy shit, still can move!"

"What are you afraid of, there is no head. Grab the ones in the bucket. The ones dropped on the boat were just cut off, and they should barely retain a little activity."

"Really disgusting. If A Guang was here, that guy is not afraid of snakes. These sea snakes he could definitely catch every one alive, instead of being as wasteful as us, directly cutting off the head."

"He didn't come, saying this is useless. Hurry up and grab a few more. After grabbing, I have to pull the line and go home."

Xiao Xiao signaled A Zheng to carry the bucket over to pick it up, and then asked while grabbing, "Are you not staying overnight tonight?"

"Are you keeping me overnight?"

"Go to Ni Ma, are you not keeping those gang hooks overnight at sea?"

"Speak clearly, you scared me, I thought you had some special hobby. A section of the main line and the hook are tangled. Take it back and organize it. By the way, repair some fish hooks. Just now when grabbing these sea snakes, I was afraid that the snake head still had activity, so I didn't dare to take the fish hook and cut the branch line into the sea directly. Need to take it back and repair it."

"We also cut the branch lines directly. Fortunately, there are not many missing. Can stay overnight, come back to harvest tomorrow."

Xiao Xiao grabbed seven or eight and said it was enough. Ye Yaodong asked him to grab more, but he didn't want it. It was enough for himself and A Zheng to share. Grabbing more was also giving it to others, no need.

Since he said so, he didn't force it. He drove the boat back to the point of setting the gang hooks, started to pull up the anchor at the end, pulled the line, picked the fish, and collected the buoy and sinker, and pulled the rope from beginning to end again.

And untied the connection points of each branch line, coiled them into the basket in order, and finally pulled out the tail anchor. This was considered to have finished harvesting the five baskets of gang hooks.

The interval this time was not long, and there were mostly empty hooks, but occasionally there were a few big fish. In general, today's harvest was also quite good.

Ye Yaodong finished work satisfactorily. It was four o'clock, time to go home.

After his boat docked, the villagers on the shore were stunned again. It was not just because his boat was full of fish goods, but also the two buckets of blue-banded sea snakes!

In the afternoon, some boats returned from the sea early, vividly talking about what they saw at sea today, and even brought back a few live blue-banded sea snakes, selling them for a good price.

At this moment, it had already spread all over the shore. Unexpectedly, Ye Yaodong had two full buckets here, which simply shocked their eyeballs.

Ye Mu was pleasantly surprised and ran over directly. She was originally waiting on the shore for Ye Father's boat to return to help pick up the goods. Unexpectedly, the third son had this surprise waiting for her.

"Dong Zi, how did you catch it? This snake is very poisonous. It has spread all over the village. It is said that this snake gathered hundreds of thousands of snakes on the sea this afternoon, stretching for several nautical miles."

Ye Yaodong laughed twice. It spread really fast. Obviously, there were only about 20,000 or 30,000, gathering for more than 1,000 meters. It actually spread to hundreds of thousands of snakes stretching for several nautical miles.

You know, one nautical mile equals 1.8 kilometers. Several nautical miles is exaggerated. Just now, it was not deep sea. If it were deep sea, maybe it could gather hundreds of thousands of snakes for several nautical miles.

"Not that many, it's exaggerated. It's estimated that there are two or three tens of thousands. We dare not get close. Maybe there are some far away. Anyway, our vision is limited. The estimate is about that many."

"That's also a lot," Ye Mu smiled, but looking at it, she felt something was wrong, "Why don't these blue-banded sea snakes move?"

"No head! The head was cut off by me and thrown into the sea."

"Ah?" Ye Mu slapped her thigh in annoyance, "Oh, this sea snake is quite valuable. They just sold a live one for 5 yuan. You have so many, you can sell a lot of money. Why did you cut the head and kill it?"

"Ah? Is it that expensive?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised and felt a pity. He caught two buckets. If there weren't seventy or eighty, there were? Then did he still want his life?

"Yes, why did you cut the head? Killed it? Pity, this is very valuable..."

"No container to hold it. This snake is very poisonous. I dare not catch a live one, so I just killed it."

Ye Mu looked at the fish on the boat thrown everywhere, and the snakes in the water bucket were piled up to the point of overflowing. She also knew that he really had no way to catch a live one, so she felt a pity in her heart.

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. You wait here, I'll go get you a basket and load these fish ashore first."

"Okay."

As a result, as soon as Ye Mu went ashore, a bunch of villagers surrounded her and talked, saying that Ye Yaodong was going to get rich again. She directly regretted saying that they were all dead, and were cut off the head and killed by him. Everyone also felt a pity, but in the dark place of their hearts, they were balanced.

"Caught so many, and actually killed them. Too pity. One was sold for five yuan. If these two buckets were all alive, they could sell for hundreds. Don't have to work for a year."

"Yes, this sea snake is a good thing. If only we could catch live ones."

"Who says it's not? But you can't want money and not life!" Ye Mu also felt heartache.

"This just killed it, it's also a good thing to take it to soak in wine or stew soup..."

"Are you selling it? Are you going to take it to A Cai to collect or keep it yourself? Why not sell me two? One to soak in wine, one to clear stew at night."

"Leave me two!"

"I want it too. This is already dead and has no head, it should be very cheap, right?"

"If it's cheap, I'll buy two too."

Everyone was calculating in their hearts. Even if they took the live ones back, they would have to kill them before cooking. Whether there is a head or not doesn't matter. If it's cheap without a head, it might be more popular.

Ye Mu listened to everyone wanting it, and her face instantly smiled like a flower. Who is not happy to sell money? With so many, their own family can't finish eating, and sending it everywhere is not as real as selling money.

"I'll ask how much A Cai collects? I'll sell it to you for how much later."

After Ye Mu asked the price, she took the plastic basket and ran to tell Ye Yaodong that everyone wanted to buy two.

"It is said that one without a head is one yuan. Sell it. We have no use for so many."

He thought about it and said: "Then leave ten. You take two to soak in wine, I also leave two or three to soak in wine, and by the way, soak a jar for my father-in-law. Eldest brother and second brother each take one. Lin Shu also takes two. Also have to ask him to help ask about the boat."

A Guang also gave him two. This guy didn't send less things to the old house by pulling his big flag every three days, almost directly saying it.

"Ten seems not enough, leave two more."

Ye Mu listened to his calculation and felt that leaving ten was not much. This sea snake is also rare. It has been discounted to one yuan. The third son's family is still relatively loose now, and the fish goods on the boat can sell for a lot of money today. Leaving a few more is nothing.

"Then you look at it and leave it. Let's send those fish goods to A Cai to weigh first."

"Good."

The villagers at the pier surrounded them. As soon as they finished weighing the goods, they scrambled to buy snakes, one person bought two.

It happened to be high tide, which was the time for fishing boats to dock. People came and went on the pier, and it was almost snatched up in just a few minutes.

If it weren't for Ye Yaodong's quick reaction and protecting the remaining dozen, it is estimated that there would be none left.

Ye Mu happily helped collect money on the side, smiling and saying to the fellow villagers: "No more, no more, we have to keep the rest ourselves."

Those who didn't buy it asked them to share one or two more, but Ye Yaodong refused with a smile.

This blue-banded sea snake is a good thing. Today is good luck, maybe not necessarily catch it next time.

Ye Mu smiled and gave the money just sold for sea snakes to Ye Yaodong, "Take it home and let your daughter-in-law put it away. Take the remaining sea snakes back quickly, otherwise someone will see it and want it later. I still have to wait for your father's boat to come in at the pier, and I will go to your place to get it later."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong didn't count how much money he sold, stuffed a large handful of small bills into his pocket, and it wouldn't be too late to count when he got home.

Today, because that blue-spotted grouper was dead, although it was big, it was still not as good as a live one. It just sold for 21 yuan. Those ten large red conger eels were more valuable, totaling 86 jin, selling for more than 60 yuan. There were other fish goods. Today, not counting the blue-banded sea snakes, he earned over a hundred.

Happy~

He carried two buckets and walked home happily. There was a yellow porgy he specially left in the bucket. He would steam it at night for the two children to eat. He would stew one sea snake in clear soup, and then have a vegetable. The family of four would be enough to eat. The two children are small and actually can't eat much. Leftovers are not good overnight.

When he happily stepped into the house, he found a strange man in the house, and he was surprised.
