Chapter 59: Earned money again

"Why is there only a shell for this coconut snail, where is the meat?" Ye Mu also helped pick it up.

"In the basin, look for it, stir-fry it in slices at noon."

"Opened it, nothing?" Ye Mu just asked casually. The probability is too low, and she doesn't believe that it can open a Melo pearl just by opening it.

"Mm!"

He lied without drafting, while Lin Xiuqing stole a glance at him with a guilty conscience.

He winked and said to her: "You go take a shower first, to avoid catching a cold, Mother and the others are here."

She understood what he meant and nodded in agreement, going back to the room to hide the Melo pearl first. Otherwise, she was always worried that it would be lost. She had been covering her pocket all the way back, for fear that it would be lost.

Leaving one mud crab without a big foot and one mud crab with little meat, as well as some miscellaneous fish, small fish and shrimp, and stone crabs, the rest that were worth some money were picked out by Ye Mu and put in a bucket for him.

"Take advantage of the fact that there is no rain now, go and come back quickly, remember to wear a coir raincoat."

Ye Yaodong saw the antique coir raincoat hanging in the corridor at a glance, and didn't dislike it. This is much more convenient than an umbrella and won't be blown over.

After he carried two buckets out, the women in the family also started to kill fish and cook, and by the way, added water to the clams and sprinkled a little coarse salt to raise them.

Usually, the village is filled with the atmosphere of life. Every household, either at the front door or the back door, sits with women weaving nets. Today, every household is closed, and there is no one on the road.

When Ye Yaodong walked to Acai's house, he was shirtless and grinding a knife to kill fish at the back door. Hearing that someone was looking for him, he carried the knife and came out.

"What are you doing, Brother Cai, I'm here to deliver goods to you, not to rob, as for the aggressive look of coming out with a knife?"

"Ah? Hahaha~" Acai looked at the knife in his hand awkwardly and explained, "I was killing fish just now. Why did you come in typhoon weather? Your father wouldn't go out to sea in typhoon weather, right? Don't want your life?"

"No, no, these were picked up by me on the beach when the tide receded just now."

"Eh? You are smart, you know that the waves are big in typhoon weather and there are things to pick up. Let me see what good things there are." He tucked the kitchen knife behind his waist and stretched his head to look at the water bucket.

"Not bad, there are five or six mud crabs, right? The size is really not small. Is that a sea eel at the bottom? What else? Damn... what is this? Grouper? Is it a grouper?" Acai was also surprised by the pattern on this fish and squatted down to look closely.

Ye Yaodong felt a bit proud in his heart. It was just a grouper, and he was so surprised. If he knew he also got a Melo pearl with a diameter of more than 2 centimeters, wouldn't he be surprised to drop his chin?

"Give me a price! How much to accept!"

He kicked the bucket, and the grouper inside was startled, flicking its tail and splashing Acai's face with seawater. Acai didn't get angry and reached out to wipe his face.

"This fish is rare here. The Yujing pier might be able to catch it occasionally. Let's weigh it first."

Ye Yaodong nodded, carried the bucket and followed him into the house.

Live fish are not easy to weigh. Fortunately, he had a basket at home. After putting it on and weighing it quickly, he quickly put it back into the bucket.

"1 jin 8 taels, I'll calculate it for you at 8 yuan, how about it?"

"Not even five yuan a jin? Add some, you sell it to rich bosses and it can double. We are all in the same village, how can you bear to slaughter me?"

"Nonsense, who slaughtered you? Who would buy it if it doubled? Do you think money is so easy to earn?"

"Cut, there are quite a few knowledgeable bosses coming and going in our town. For rich people, tens of yuan are not enough for a meal. People only want good things, and money is secondary. I have seen people open a bottle of red wine for several hundred in the Hongsheng Hotel in town, and spend thousands in one night. Don't fool me!"

Acai stared, and said unhappily: "That's also earned by the hotel. Isn't it normal for the hotel to make it into a dish and double it several times? How much can a fishmonger like me earn?"

"Don't pull with me, count it as twelve yuan, and I'll sell it to you!"

"What, you opened your mouth like a lion, too much! I'm going to lose money..."

"Then I'll carry it to A-Gui's house..." another acquisition point at the pier.

"Hey hey hey~ wait~ wait~ you young people are just impulsive, haven't finished speaking yet, and you want to leave. Ten yuan, at most ten yuan... alright alright... then twelve... twelve..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. After chatting for a long time, it was still what he said. He knew that Acai was old and cunning and didn't earn less.

This fish is marked with several tens in the hotel, how could he lose money.

The prices of the remaining mud crabs and fish goods were also fair, and they were all settled at the daily acquisition price.

There were only twenty-something yuan this time, and Acai didn't say to settle the account in a few days, directly counting the money and giving it to him.

"Keep it well, we are clear now."

"Many thanks!"

"You're welcome, bring it over next time if you have good goods. This typhoon weather is really troublesome, I still have to send it to the small shed at the pier to raise it..."

Ye Yaodong untied the buttons of the coir raincoat, put the money away, and buttoned it up to rush home. There was a faint sun in the morning, but now the wind was blowing again, and the raindrops felt a bit painful when they hit his face. It was really a ghost weather.

After returning home, the house was already filled with the smell of food, and the whole family was rarely free and gathered together.

Seeing him come back, Ye Fu quickly put down the tobacco he was holding, "How much did that grouper sell for?"

"Twelve yuan!"

"So high?"

"Mm, I called the price randomly and bombed him. I didn't expect him to actually respond."

Ye Fu was also speechless. Can it still be like this?

Ye Mu waved the spatula and stir-fried, and didn't forget to ask with concern: "How much money did all the goods sell for in total?"

"Twenty-five yuan and eighty cents!"

"Not bad, not bad, earned so much after going out for a spin, it's worth a whole day of others going out to sea."

Ye Second Sister-in-law couldn't help but say: "Yaodong's luck has been really good lately, every time he goes out for a spin, he has a big harvest, earned several hundred, right?"

That sour taste made him want to roll his eyes.

"Mm, luck has been good lately, I'll go take a shower first."

"Dongzi, use hot water to wash, you've been rained on, you can't take a cold shower again, you'll catch a cold." The old woman was sitting in front of the stove burning fire, smiling and handing him the thermos.

"Okay."

Although he prefers cold showers, he still has to listen to the old woman.

It was raining outside, so he could only take the water into the room to wash, and by the way, hand the money to his wife. As a result, as soon as he entered the room, he saw her sitting by the window, picking her palm with a needle.

"What's wrong? Sand got in?"

"Mm, yes."

"Let me pick it for you!"

"You go take a shower first, don't catch a cold."

"Oh, this is the money from selling the goods, you keep it, and there are 8 cents left, I kept it."

Lin Xiuqing took it and counted it, and said happily: "Sold so much?"

"Mainly because that grouper is expensive, and those few mud crabs are plump, one of them is two jin, and other fish goods are much cheaper."

"Very good, we just went out for half a morning, and had such a big harvest, made a fortune."

"Mm, Melo pearl is kept well, right?"

"Don't worry, I hid it." ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
