Chapter 643: Going ashore
After Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law unloaded the goods their men wanted to sell, and moved the ones to be dried back onto the board cart, they asked Ye Yaodong to help them watch the boat.
They had to send a car of fish back first, and then continue to come over to move those with shells. They were busy at night.
They hadn't been home for a whole day, so they had to go back and see if the children at home were obedient? Were they naughty?
Ye Yaodong nodded, just a matter of convenience.
Their boat was also full of sacks at this time, looking full and fruitful, and at a glance, they knew that the two sisters-in-law had worked hard today.
They had to kill fish and open shells. I don't know if they could be busy at night, what time they would be busy, and whether they could go out to sea again at night?
In order to make money, the two sisters-in-law were indeed quite desperate.
He was also a little itchy. In fact, digging these shellfish on the reef wall was quite fulfilling, especially if there was any unexpected discovery, it was pure profit.
I don't know if they turned around and looked at the shore when they dug these shellfish on the small island today, and if they picked up any good goods? I forgot to ask just now.
Ye Yaodong stood on the shore, swallowing clouds and fog, greeting familiar people back and forth, and looking directly into the distance if he was not familiar.
A pile of cigarette butts stepped on at his feet, he didn't count how many he smoked. Anyway, he didn't have time to smoke when he was working during the day. After finishing the work, he made up for it when he was free.
His addiction to cigarettes was not big, but he should smoke it. A pack of cigarettes a day, happy like a fairy.
After he extinguished another cigarette butt, Ye Fu and Ye Yaosheng pushed the board cart and arrived late.
He stepped on it and crushed it, then picked up the bucket his second brother had just given him, "Dad, you guys put these on the cart first, I'll go to Ah Cai's to get a bucket of ice."
"Keep this devil fish fresh?"
"Yes, he said, although the weather is cool, it is best to keep it fresh with ice. It doesn't cost money, don't take it for nothing."
"Then you go, we will lift it to the cart first."
Ye Yaodong went and returned quickly. Ah Cai was busy weighing goods and couldn't take care of him. The boats behind were also returning one after another, and were unloading goods to the shore.
He greeted the familiar ones one after another, and by the way, looked at what goods they caught.
After looking around and seeing nothing unusual, he returned to the board cart and said to Ye Fu.
"That small wooden boat hasn't been lifted off the boat yet, I'll go lift it with Brother Brother Asheng, you wait here. There is still empty space on this board cart, the boat is not big, it can barely be placed on it, anyway, it can be pushed."
Ye Fu nodded.
There were baskets of fish goods coming and going on the pier. Everyone turned on flashlights, and the lights from the small sheds next to them shone out, which looked quite bright and could see the road.
In this era, everyone's eyesight was very good. The rare ones who wore glasses were all intellectuals.
Avoiding the villagers who were carrying a big basket and walking past, the two climbed onto their own boat. It happened to be high tide when he came back. The water level rose, and the fishing boat didn't need to stop outside, and could stop at the shore.
The two lifted the small wooden boat and walked down one after another, which attracted the villagers who were moving goods back and forth.
"Oh? Where did the small boat come from? You guys picked it up at sea, right? It's full of barnacles and shells, so many?"
"Pick up everything, what's the use of picking it back? It's all these shells. This boat shouldn't be useful. It's not necessarily able to burn as firewood..."
"Don't say that, ask the women at home to knock down the shells on the boat, and you can dig some meat. Eating two or three meals is also okay. Fish and shrimp are greasy every day. Occasionally eating these shellfish is also okay. It is fresh and sweet to boil soup."
"That is, someone visits the shore every day. Now there are only those green sea greens on the stone wall that can be pinched and fried with eggs or mixed."
"It's a pity, I don't know how long this small wooden boat has been drifting. It is estimated that it can't be used. If it can be used, it would be good to pick up a small boat for nothing."
"The whole boat is shells, dense, it is estimated that it is also scrapped..."
"I don't know if there are shipworms inside... it is estimated that there are..."
"Then you have to split it to know. It's not visible if it's not split, and it doesn't show its head..."
It's dark, they don't have time to split it here. How can they transport it home first? I don't know if they can finish digging the shells on the boat at night. If they can't finish digging, they can only leave it to dig tomorrow morning.
After digging almost finished, he could send the boat to Brother Brother Asheng and let him split it slowly and add a meal.
Seeing that they picked up a small boat for nothing, everyone was also curious and kept paying attention to their side.
As a result, when they lifted the boat, I don't know if it was because it was full of various shells, or because it had been soaked in the sea for too long, the quality was too brittle, or it was too heavy and slipped.
The small wooden boat accidentally fell down, directly broken into two halves.
Fortunately, they jumped back as soon as they saw it slipped, otherwise they would have smashed their feet.
"Oh, why did it fall down so carelessly."
"It's good now, it can't be used..."
"It couldn't be used in the first place, right?"
"Ah, there really are shipworms, it looks quite disgusting..."
"Where? There really are..."
I saw that in the middle of the broken wooden fishing boat, there were many small holes, and inside the holes were white insects wriggling. Every small hole had them, and the middle of the fracture looked quite dense.
The women around rubbed their arms, all very disgusted, feeling that it was too disgusting. There were really few people in their village who would eat this. Only some elderly people discussed that it would be delicious to stir-fry.
These elderly people were the ones who really experienced famine and ate everything.
Ye Yaodong was also disgusted, "It's good now, you go to my eldest brother and second brother's boat to get a bucket, first catch all the ones that can be caught, put them in the bucket, and take them back later. Wait until the shells on the boat are dug down, I will send the two halves of the boat to you, it should be sent over tomorrow morning."
"Okay, don't worry."
Saying that, Ye Yaosheng went to the boat to get a bucket, and really squatted there to catch it seriously.
Ye Yaodong kindly gave him a flashlight. Under the light of the night, these insects were even more disgusting, and they kept wriggling there.
The difference from real maggots is estimated to be one long and one short.
The goods obtained by accident today, the good things are very good, and the disgusting things are also really disgusting. After going back, peel the stone fish and stew it to make up for it, and suppress the shock.
After he finished catching, they lifted the two sections of the boat onto the board cart.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came over after weighing the goods. He didn't need to watch the goods on their boat, so he and Brother Brother Asheng pushed the cart back first.
And his dad looked at so many shells on their boat and planned to stay and help move them.
