Chapter 405: A row of hand lines fishing together
Ye Yaodong gave Xiao Gaozi a big white eye. The clear are self-clear, the turbid are self-turbid, he is a serious person!
There was a clanging sound coming from the bamboo basket. The two of them were separated by a bamboo basket, and the parabola was thrown flying.
Especially hearing that the other three who were not married were single from the womb for 23 or 24 years, the hand speed was even faster, throwing with eyes closed was not wrong.
Many hands make light work. More than a dozen people were helping to pick there, and just as the sky was getting dark, it was already finished.
Ye Mu let each family take a little back to eat while fresh. Even if not washed, it could be placed for two or three days without going bad.
Also let Qing take a few more baskets, and pack a little more separately. Her family had workers working, so it would be consumed faster.
The rest, she let Ye Fu lift together to the flatbed cart and push to the seaside to wash. It happened to be high tide, so no need to go too far to wash.
The quantity today was too much. If they had to carry water to wash, don't know how many loads would have to be carried. The water well wasn't that close. The old house had a water well right at the back door, which was dug when Ye Yaodong's grandfather built the house, which was more convenient. This side wasn't that convenient, had to go to the village to carry water.
Based on the principle of saving water and being close, Ye Mu lifted it to the seaside to wash. The three daughters-in-law also followed to help, and the three Liberation Army soldiers also followed.
As for the remaining one, of course it was Captain Chen. He was fiddling with the round-axis crab he caught. He took a brush and desperately brushed its shell and feet there.
Ye Yaodong kindly took a pair of scissors for him, "You can pry open the lid behind its butt and take a look, guaranteed to open your eyes."
"Really?"
Captain Chen didn't believe in evil and opened its back lid. Just one look, and he was disgusted. It was covered in black, full and dense, with no other colors.
"So dirty..."
"You lean closer and smell it." Ye Yaodong was watching him fiddle there, and by the way gave him suggestions.
"Forget it, can imagine it."
But he still didn't give up and cut off its back lid, and started scrubbing its back again.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said again, "You open its front lid and take a look, if you want to wash, wash it clean."
"Okay."
The response was quite crisp, but when he opened the front lid of the round-axis crab, he blamed himself for having too good eyesight, and even more blamed himself for not listening to advice.
Listen to advice, eat full meals!
This is the truth!
Instantly taught a lesson.
Only to see the crab gills were also black, unlike other crabs which were white.
If it was just like this, that was one thing. The key was that, just like Ye Yaodong said during the day, the crab gills were covered with dense black dots, and they would move. Don't know what kind of bugs they were. Borrowing the orange-yellow light coming out of the room, he saw it clearly.
Ye Yaodong was also disgusted, frowning and baring his teeth, making an "ee" sound, and the tail sound was still waving and pulling long.
"Now you can give up, right? Still dare to eat?"
"Forget it, throw this one away, release the other two."
"Want to see the meat inside?"
"Don't look, it's really too dirty. Thought you guys just caught a few that were relatively dirty, so no one ate them. Open any one and it's so disgusting. I'd better go wash the scallops."
"Although there aren't many people in our village, when we couldn't eat full in those years, we really tried to eat everything. Everyone also caught this crab, but basically threw it all away. Listen to advice more in the future!" After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he patted his shoulder.
Then he sent the snails that could be sold for money to the outside of the pier. When he came back, Ye Mu and the others had already washed the mussels and sea clams.
Only these two kinds were not easy to open, needed to be washed and boiled to dig out the meat. Other shells were easy to pry, could be directly dug out and then boiled to dry, saving the trouble of washing for half a day.
Two scallops each, but the sky was already late, and Lin Xiuqing didn't want to toss, so all were boiled and dipped in soy sauce and vinegar. Seeing this, Ye Yaodong kept calling it a waste of things, actually boiled and ate them just like that.
"It's not bad to have something to eat, you're still picky, getting more and more picky. Busy until so late, hurry up and finish eating, who's still messing around. In the future, you can fix it however you want to eat, I can't fix it."
"Isn't this teaching you how to fix it deliciously? By the way, you went to the village committee today, what did Chen Shuji say?"
Lin Xiuqing said while peeling mussel shells for the child, "Chen Shuji said if I'm busy, then it's fine to go to work in a few months. Anyway, the work is reserved for me, it won't change."
"That's fine, Mother is too high-profile, let's be a little low-key, fortunately didn't tell her."
His father wasn't a big-mouthed person either. Tell his father later, don't shout everywhere that Qing also went to the village committee to work.
After the meal, go to the old house. He also made fishing lines and fish hooks with his father by the way. If there were no fish hooks at home, go to the small shop to buy.
Don't look at them being a village here, there were still two small shops, the things sold were quite complete, not only daily necessities but also some fishing gear supplies most needed by seaside people, boat supplies.
There were also other small shops, such as pharmacies, health centers, grocery stores. If there was demand, of course there would be corresponding commodity trading. Although the village wasn't a big village, it wasn't small either, and there were five or six hundred households.
Just making fish hooks and fishing lines was also very simple. One end of the fishing line was tied tightly to a wooden stick or bamboo piece. At home, this kind of thing was the most. After winding the required length of line, hang a stone and fix it, and finally tie the hook.
If needed, bamboo poles could also be added, but carrying was more troublesome. This kind of hand line was convenient to carry, a pile of fishing line sticks thrown into the bucket could rush to the fishing ground.
The feel was also obvious, could clearly sense whether the fish was biting the hook.
The father and son made fifteen in a row before stopping and finishing work. This was simple and didn't take much time.
"Done? Done, then drink a bowl of mung bean soup before going back. Remember to bring a bucket of mung bean soup to the boat tomorrow to relieve the heat, don't get heatstroke. Several Liberation Army comrades came here for a few days and also got tanned." The old lady smiled kindly.
After everyone moved away, there hadn't been so many people living at home, looking lively. Mainly several young men looked spirited, and the old lady liked it very much.
Captain Chen smiled and said, "Men are a bit tanned, what is it?"
Ye Yaodong: You blow the sea breeze for decades and try? Guaranteed to be the same as my father.
The next day, the village committee didn't tell him not to go, so their group went to the sea to watch the field as usual, still that location and that piece of sea.
Just one more row of hand line fishing!
Ye Yaodong nailed a row of nails on the edge of the boat, fixed the fishing lines one by one on that row of nails, and then put them into the water after hanging the bait, busy one by one.
Others each had a fishing line, and while fishing, they curiously looked at his side.
Ye Fu was also puzzled. Where did he get so many tricks? Don't know what was filled in his brain all day, blindly pondering these side-door paths, no one had done it, but he insisted on trying to do it.
"Can this work? Dongzi."
"Don't know, I haven't fished before, try it, anyway idle is idle, according to the frequency of fish yesterday, it didn't go up that fast, should be okay?" Ye Yaodong said while hanging bait on the fish hook.
"If these go up at the same time, pull at the same time, won't it get knotted and mixed up?"
"Why pull at the same time? Can't pull one by one? And aren't these hooks spaced apart? Knotted, should be okay? Nothing, try it, if it's too late to pull up and the fish runs, then forget it."
"Don't care about you, do whatever you want to mess around..."
Ye Yaodong shrugged. He didn't count on his father to do anything anyway.
While he was still hanging bait, Captain Chen was the first to be excited, "Got it, got it... strong vibration on the hand, definitely fish..."
Captain Chen pulled a few times, feeling the struggle was particularly strong, the bite was fierce, but didn't run away with the hook, and it wasn't difficult to pull up. He used the winding wooden stick in his hand to quickly wind up the fishing line and pull it up.
Everyone's attention was also attracted by him, a small fish with brown patterns, accompanied by water splashes, was lifted into mid-air.
Ye Fu said happily, "Eh? It's a Ding Gong fish, this fish is okay..."
"Seems a bit small..."
Ye Yaodong also said, "This fish is originally this big, this one is considered big, the meat of this fish is very delicate, delicious and resilient."
"Is that so? That's good..." Captain Chen happily untied it from the fish hook and put it into the bucket to raise.
With him, after the first one was fished up, others also had fish biting the hook one after another. One person fished a barracuda, and the other two also fished a Ding Gong fish.
Ye Fu also fished up a mackerel. Regardless of whether the fish was good or bad, having a harvest was worth being happy about.
Everyone fished up fish, some even fished up two. Only Ye Yaodong's side had no movement. After he finished hanging the bait, he touched this line and touched that line, but didn't feel any vibration.
"What's going on?" He leaned over and put his arm under the fishing line to cushion it, directly hanging three fishing lines on his left arm.
He wanted to say sense it, but didn't expect that suddenly two lines vibrated, and the shaking was fierce, rushing forward and backward.
"Holy crap, I don't usually make a sound, but when I do, I shock everyone. Two at once? A double-hit in one go?"
Without defense, this came, causing him to be a bit flustered, don't know which line to pull.
"Father, you give the fishing line to Captain Chen and the others to help hold, come over to help me collect one first, two shook together."
Ye Fu heard this and hurriedly stuffed the fishing line in his hand to Captain Chen next to him, then hurriedly ran over to help him collect, still muttering in his mouth.
"I said you mess around with these, you definitely won't be able to be busy. Look, only two shook together and you can't collect..."
"Isn't that afraid it will run? So I called you, otherwise, it's fine to collect one by one..."
"You just have a hard mouth... look later three lines shake together, four lines shake together, how can you collect?"
"Where is it so easy to bite the hook?"
Didn't expect that his words just fell, the fishing line in his hand just collected half, the four lines next to it really shook together, there were two fishing lines, and they were pulled, tightened to a 45-degree angle, the fish below were biting the hook and preparing to escape.
"Damn, Father, your mouth is enlightened today! Hurry, hurry, hurry up and collect the line... don't let them run..."
