Chapter 434: A typhoon is coming

Among those fish goods, bomb fish and red eels are more valuable. Just twelve bomb fish weighed more than 100 catties and sold for 43 yuan. There were also two baskets of turbot and other miscellaneous fish, as well as the goods from the ground cage nets, which sold for more than 122 yuan today.

Because a typhoon is coming soon, Ye Yaodong kept a lot of fish and shrimp, and the father and son divided some, planning to eat for two days.

This kind of weather can only be eaten for two days after cooking, and this is still in the case of no stirring, otherwise it will be sour the next day.

Fresh ones can't be kept until the next day, like shrimp, if kept until the next day, the shrimp head will be black.

The family still lacks a refrigerator!

Having earned some money, Ye Yaodong's heart was restless again. It's not convenient without a refrigerator. It's hard to eat an iced watermelon in summer, and there's no ice for mung bean soup.

But the refrigerator is so big, it's too eye-catching to get one back and put it at home, and if his father, mother, old lady, and wife all attack together, he feels he can't handle it.

After the reform and opening up, the previous "old three pieces" were bicycle, watch, sewing machine, and with the passage of time, they successively became the "new three pieces" washing machine, refrigerator, television.

Especially the electric refrigerator, it's not something ordinary people can afford, it's more expensive than a television, and it's very difficult to buy, it's a complete seller's market.

Even if an ordinary worker's monthly salary is only 40 or 50, it is still in short supply. It is relatively rare in rural areas, a little more in big cities, and relatively more in coastal areas.

According to what he knows, domestic single-door refrigerators like Xiangxuehai 125 liters cost 685 yuan, Shuanglu brand double-door refrigerators cost 1200 yuan, and Baixue refrigerators cost more than 800.

Imported Hitachi, Toshiba, Panasonic and other refrigerators are even more expensive, costing two or three thousand yuan. If you don't have a way, you can't buy them. Even if you have foreign exchange certificates, there may not be supply.

Electric refrigerators in this era can be called luxuries, only local tyrants can afford them. His restless heart pressed back again. He had only saved a little family foundation and couldn't float. This refrigerator is still very expensive now.

And the money he earned is in his wife's hands. Like boat machinery, three turns and one sound, these grind, she will still agree, but spending thousands to buy a refrigerator, she will definitely be reluctant, and he also feels it is too cost-effective, so he hurriedly threw the idea in his brain out.

He divided the goods to be taken back, and used another bucket to pack some for his father. There were also some that were not very valuable, and he kept a bucket. He planned to take these to his mother and let his mother give them to relatives to share.

It's too cheap, can't sell for one or two yuan, it's better to let his mother take it to do favors. Some relatives who don't do sea work can send some, and it can also sell for a good price.

As for who to send to? Let his mother look at it herself.

Thanks to his previous life, he is not familiar with those relatives and doesn't associate with them, unless they come to the door actively.

The flatbed cart was full of things, ten baskets of row hooks were stacked high in twos and threes, he threw several buckets into the baskets together, otherwise there was no place to put them, and there were 4 rows of ground cage nets, which could only be pulled over in the next trip.

There were quite a few people coming and going on the road, and the construction site of the Mazu Temple was still in full swing. After all, the sun was still shining brightly today, it was just a bit cooler. The workers on the construction site were all discussing when the typhoon would come? When will the typhoon leave? How was the typhoon in previous years?

The villagers were all used to saying that after going back, they would climb to the roof to check the tiles.

Some also said that they would carry a few more buckets of water and put them there after going back, so as not to have no water when the typhoon comes, and the water will be muddy and inedible after the typhoon.

Some also said to check if there are candles at home, and prepare a few in advance.

Since the village was connected to electricity, every time there was a typhoon or thunder and lightning in the past two years, the power would definitely be cut off. There was never a time when the power was not cut off. Everyone had experience.

He had just pushed the flatbed cart to the front of the Mazu Temple, and the villagers working there raised their heads one after another to greet him.

"Are the fishing nets all untied? The waves are big today, the harvest should be okay, right?"

"Ye's father and son's sea luck is quite strong, every time the harvest is more than others..."

"When are you going to be in the newspaper? Those people from the newspaper office yesterday?"

"Right, everyone didn't believe it yesterday, didn't expect that those people from the newspaper office came to the door yesterday noon, and it spread throughout the village."

"You are really capable, your luck is really good... 'Ten-thousand-yuan household' was ruined, couldn't be in the newspaper, but now you can still be in the newspaper because of a big fish."

Seeing them throw out a series of questions, one sentence each, he didn't know who to answer. He also wanted to know when he could see his heroic posture in the newspaper.

"So-so, just sell a little goods to make a living. Next, it's going to be a typhoon day again. I don't know how many days I have to rest at home before the wind and waves can pass."

"As for when to be in the newspaper, I don't know either. Those people didn't say it would definitely be in, just came to the door to ask about the situation at that time. I am looking forward to it more than you. Wait a few days and see. If it is in, the village committee will have newspapers to read."

"If you can be in the newspaper, that would be really glorious. Not only is there money to take, but you can also let people all over the country know you, too awesome..."

He chuckled dryly. When that group of people passed by, they took a picture from afar and ran away. He didn't notice any boat. They might not have seen anything, just treated him as a pendant on that whale shark.

Whether it was washed out as big as sesame seeds is hard to say? Can people all over the country know a sesame seed?

"The typhoon is coming soon, villagers, take a rest in advance. It's noon now, time to eat lunch, I'll go back first."

"Alright alright alright..."

After chatting with them casually for a few words, Ye Yaodong pushed the flatbed cart and walked back again, and it took two trips to pull all the ground cages back.

Those ground cage nets hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and they were covered with all kinds of seaweed and debris, as well as fish mucus, which looked dirty.

As soon as he went out to sea in the morning, he collected them and put them on the boat. By now, they had already been sun-dried, and they were emitting a pungent smell along the way, and they were also attracting mosquitoes and insects nearby, which kept buzzing and approaching the fishing nets.

Ye Yaodong was a bit disgusted when he saw it, and didn't want to pile them in the courtyard, so as not to have mosquitoes and insects flying around everywhere. The children's skin was tender, and if they were bitten, it would take several days to disappear.

He simply pushed them to the beach at the door, taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon to wash and brush them before receiving them into the courtyard. When the typhoon comes, the rain will wash them clean, saving him the effort of carrying water to wash them, but he still has to carry more water to store in the water tank at home later.

Lin Xiuqing stood at the courtyard gate looking at the wharf direction after cooking, and felt relieved when she saw him pushing the flatbed cart back.

But seeing that he didn't go home directly, but pushed the flatbed cart toward the beach, she also walked curiously toward the beach.

"A-Dong? Why didn't you go back? Oh, you want to wash the ground cage nets."

Ye Yaodong said as he threw the ground cages off the flatbed cart, "Too dirty, and smelly! Sun-dried by this sun, the fishy smell attracts a patch of insects, too disgusting, can't put them in the courtyard, take them over to wash them first before receiving them into the courtyard."

"What about those row hooks?"

"Just sent them to Old You at the entrance of the village, asked him to tidy them up for me, so as not to pile them all in the courtyard, things are too many and too messy."

"Eat first, I'll help you wash later."

"Hmm, almost unloaded, I'll wash my hands... eh... are there scallops?"

Just as he threw all the ground cage nets to the beach and walked forward a few steps, intending to wash his hands when he squatted down, he saw quite a few scallops on the side of the gravel pile around.

He picked one up and looked at it. The opening was tightly closed, and they were all fresh. He was a little surprised.

"Good stuff, add a meal tonight."

He shook the scallop in his hand toward A-Qing, "Take the bucket on the flatbed cart over, there are quite a few scallops here, they should all be washed up by the waves, and there are many clams."

"Really?" Lin Xiuqing happily took a bucket from the flatbed cart, "I wanted to wait until the tide receded to come to the beach, yesterday I picked two big basins full of clams and haven't finished eating them yet..."

"Go and call all the children over to work."

"The waves are quite big... I didn't dare to let them get close just now, and asked the old lady to help watch..."

"With me here, what are you afraid of? Can I let them be rolled away by the waves?"

Lin Xiuqing thought it was true. In her heart, Ye Yaodong had gradually become her backbone.

"I'll go right away."

A group of children had long been thinking about coming to the beach, but the waves were big, and their mother wouldn't let them come to the beach.

The old lady even specially moved a stool, took a rattan stick and sat at the courtyard gate watching them, just afraid that they would be naughty and go into the water to play. The sea waves on the typhoon day are not a joke, they are ruthless. If a sea wave rolls, it might be a life.

Once they received the order, they were like birds released from a cage, howling as they charged straight toward the beach.

"Ah ah ah ah~ I'm coming~ I'm coming~"
