Chapter 466: Sweetfish

Lin Xiuqing was so angry that her face was bulging, but looking at his laughing appearance, she felt a bit unable to hold on, and followed suit.

"Work quickly. After collecting these goods, you still have to organize the ground cages, and you have to sort the sizes later. There are still many things to do."

"Hmm, where are the children?"

"Don't know where they ran off to play. The ground is still wet everywhere, maybe playing at someone's house next door?"

"Go and call them all over to help work. After a summer vacation, their hearts are all wild. Let them do more work to collect their hearts, to avoid drilling into other people's houses all day."

"Okay, I'll run back and shout."

Ye Yaodong fiddled with the basket she had just picked. There were quite a lot of small sugar shrimp inside. Just in time for the breeding season, these sugar shrimp had seeds of various colors on their abdomens, red and purple.

He picked a few at will and threw them into another empty bucket, then continued to go back to collect the ground cages.

Before he could collect one net, he heard the sound of "I'm coming, I'm coming, wait for me" coming from all directions.

"Wow, finally can come to the beach to play."

"Third Uncle, are we going to have a big fight today?"

"What are we going to catch, or what are we going to pick?"

Each one was rubbing their hands, wishing they could go into the water now. As soon as they ran to the beach, they kicked their slippers to one side.

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at them speechlessly. "Put on your shoes for me. I called you here to help, not to play. Pick the goods on the flatbed cart for me."

"Ah?"

"Are we not going to get some goods?"

"Others are all picking stranded seafood on the beach..."

"Others are others. Didn't you see I'm collecting nets? Your Third Aunt is too busy, you help her sort them. Now the tide has only receded a little, there's nothing to pick. Wait until tomorrow when the tide recedes, I'll take you over."

"Then okay..."

"Be positive for me. The canned food and flour tea cakes in the morning weren't eaten for nothing, and the canned food and biscuits yesterday... damn, you guys ate quite a lot of my things," Ye Yaodong stared. "Hurry up and work for me, otherwise I won't help you hide your private money tomorrow."

"We'll help."

Each one instantly became positive again, all surrounding the bamboo basket. But there were too many people, and it was a bit inconvenient to surround it, and some couldn't reach it.

Ye Yaodong took everything off the flatbed cart, helped them pour all the goods in the basket onto the flatbed cart, so it was convenient for them to surround both sides of the flatbed cart to pick, and convenient for him to pour goods after collecting the net.

Placing the ground cage net was indeed wise and labor-saving. Throwing it into the sea for about a day and a half, the goods collected were really not few.

Each net collected about five, six, or seven jin of scallops, and other miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and crabs were also rolled in by the waves, which had more goods than placing them in the near sea in the past.

But there was no way, the waves were still big, and he couldn't drive the boat out to place nets now.

Collecting a row of ground cages, the last net was just poured out, and Lin Xiuqing grabbed two sea cucumbers with quick eyes and fast hands, making her smile and shout excitedly: "Dongzi, there are two sea cucumbers!"

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. "This net is a big explosion, actually able to catch two sea cucumbers."

"Hmm, you continue to collect quickly, the few children are picking quite fast."

He glanced at the scallops piled up like a small mountain on the flatbed cart, and was also very satisfied. This row of ground cages collected about sixty jin, and after removing some shells and scallops, there were also 50 jin.

Some villagers picking leaks on the shore saw them surrounded by adults and children, and Ye Yaodong collecting nets there, and occasionally someone came over to take a look and say a few words.

Everyone was very envious.

"You collected quite a lot of goods, the whole family is out..."

"And quite a few fish, shrimp, and crabs... these can sell for a lot of money again..."

"Your brain is really good, actually placing the ground cages so early..."

"How many nets did you collect to collect so many?"

"There are still so many nets in the sea, you can sell a lot of money again..."

"Heard you sent the goods to the city yesterday and sold them for a good price. Heard one jin is over 3 jiao... the wharf is too black-hearted, actually collecting at 2 jiao..."

Ye Yaodong was collecting nets, and so many people came and went, he was always responding with a smile, and people knew he was busy, so some looked for a few glances and left, and some just stayed for a while and said a few more words.

But someone actually said this, so he had to refute it.

"It's not all over 3 jiao. There are also many over 2 jiao in the market, just because we picked them clean and didn't mix them up, so the price can be sold higher. The price on A-Cai's side is still fair. I'll send these goods to him later."

"Uh... hehe~ is that so? There are also over 2 jiao in the market?"

"Definitely, one cent of money, one cent of goods..."

That person said two sentences, felt bored, and left. Ye Yaodong pouted.

Really, when sending it over later, he had to chat with A-Cai about the price, and by the way, sell him a favor.

After he collected two rows one after another, his father and second brother arrived late.

"I wanted to ask you when you planned to collect the ground cages when I came over at noon. As a result, Lin Xiuqing said you were sleeping. How much have you collected?"

"Half, there are still two rows, it's fast to collect."

"How many scallops have you collected?" Ye father said while walking to the flatbed cart. After getting closer, he saw the scallops piled up like a small mountain on the flatbed, and the quantity was not small, and there were also some fish, shrimp, and crabs.

"You only have two rows? Two rows actually collected so many? This must be over a hundred jin."

"Over a hundred jin? Can't weigh it now. Wait until we take it back and sort it out, and send it to the wharf, then we'll know."

"Send it to the wharf?" Ye Yaohua couldn't help but speak, "Don't you plan to send it to the city again? The price sold in the city is so high."

"Second brother is joking? If I collect everything, this is at most 200 jin. Sending it to the city is going to lose money, right? Travel expenses and stall fees, so much hassle."

"Ah right right right... it's me who didn't think well, just thinking that you sold it for a high price at night, such a small amount of goods is not worth running to the city, too much hassle." Ye Yaohua smiled awkwardly.

Ye father said helplessly, "Last night I specially asked you and the eldest if you wanted to go? You said the queue was already half-full, so don't hassle. Forget it, don't say it, next time we encounter something good or a large quantity, we'll send it to the city."

"Hey!"

Ye father smiled and changed the subject, "You few little ones are quite diligent today, actually knowing to come over to help."

"Eating people's mouth is soft, taking people's hand is short. We ate the canned food Third Uncle gave in the morning, so we have to help him work in the afternoon." Ye Chenghai said honestly.

"Have awareness! It seems I didn't feed in vain."

"Sell popsicles~ sell popsicles~"

Suddenly, a sound of selling popsicles came from around their house door. The sound of waves in the ear was not very clear, but as long as it was selling food, where would the ears of these few children not be flexible?

Each one's eyes were wider than the stars in the sky, and they kept repeating in their mouths: "Popsicles! The one selling popsicles is here..."

"The one selling popsicles is here..."

Instantly, one shouted Daddy, one shouted Mom, one shouted Grandpa, looking forward with incomparable desire, and the purpose was self-evident.

Ye father, as a grandfather, was of course the first to take out money. After counting the heads, he gave five fen to each, let them go buy popsicles first, and then walked to Ye Yaodong's side to help him collect the ground cages together.

Ye Yaohua was the same. Since he had walked here, of course he helped collect together, and he was also very curious, how much goods could Dongzi collect with these four rows of ground cages?

He felt more and more that after Dongzi became diligent, his brain was particularly good, and he felt that he was particularly lucky now. Everything he did succeeded, and everything he did seemed particularly smooth?

He also pondered in his heart that perhaps he could listen to him more in the future, or whatever he did, he could follow suit and see if he could rub off some of his luck.

Just like this time going to the city, he really slapped his thigh and regretted missing it. If he had followed yesterday, it would have been good.

Don't know if he would have ideas to follow his footsteps if he knew Ye Yaodong bought a shop in the wholesale market?

Ye Yaohua thought so while collecting the net, and when he collected a net, he saw two different fish.

He leaned over to take a look, and was instantly pleasantly surprised, "Dad, Dongzi, there are two sweetfish in here."

Both of them were collecting nets in their hands, and didn't have time to go over to take a look, so they could only shout at him, let him collect them first, and the net in their own hands was also quickly pulled up.

After Ye Yaohua pulled the net up, he carried it to the flatbed cart, untied the fish collection bag, and poured the goods out.

Only to see two fish with narrow and slightly flat bodies sliding out from inside, the back of the body was blue-black, with a little yellow locally, the belly was silver-white, and all fins were light yellow.

Lin Xiuqing curiously grabbed the fish in her hand. "What fish is this? Seems like I haven't seen it... eh~ seems a bit fragrant?"

Ye Yaohua smiled until his teeth couldn't be seen, and grabbed the other one. "This is sweetfish, a fish with its own body fragrance. In ancient times, it was a tribute."

"Really?" She was surprised and smelled it again. "Seems quite good to smell, a faint fragrance, magical."

Ye Yaodong and Ye father also happened to run over after collecting a net each.

"It really is sweetfish, let me smell... it's quite fragrant... feels like watermelon flavor..."

"What watermelon flavor?"

The children led by Ye Chenghai heard watermelon flavor, so they hurriedly ran over holding popsicles, and licked a few more times by the way.

"What watermelon flavor..."

"What kind of dog ears are so sensitive?" Ye Yaodong said angrily.

"Must be, what watermelon flavor are you talking about."

No one paid attention to him.

Ye father also held it in his hand and smelled it. "It's a pity, there are only two, and they don't even add up to half a jin."

"Can sell for money is fine."

"Collect it into the bucket first, and send it to the wharf later to ask, how much can these two sweetfish be worth?"

"Second brother's luck is quite good, just collected a net, and yours actually has two sweetfish."

Ye Yaohua smiled honestly. "Originally inside, whoever pulls is the same."

"That's not necessarily."

Ye Yaodong saw these few children still poking their heads there, also learning from adults to smell with their noses, and patted two heads nearby.

"All of you hurry up and eat, eat and work. Didn't do much work, but you ate non-stop."

"If you want the cow to run, you have to let the cow eat grass!"

"Know quite a lot, saying it one set after another, be careful of diarrhea at night."

"Won't."

After Ye Yaodong said a few sentences, he didn't care about them, and continued to collect the net. There weren't many left, hurry up and finish collecting. ===== CHAPTER 467 =====
