Chapter 85: Goose Barnacles

Ye mother actually changed her view of Ye Yaodong's friends a little because of the house construction during this period. Plus, today a group of people diligently went to forage, didn't play around idly, and brought back so many seafood, so she invited them so enthusiastically.

"Is there so much cargo on the isolated island? Last time you brought a lot, this time even more. You all carried several sacks home. Third brother, take me to see it next time?" Ye Huimei asked with a face full of hope while eating.

"The sun is strong, why are you following? Be careful of getting tanned and not being able to get married!"

"It sounds like it's not sunny helping at the house! Look at my arms and face, obviously my face is already dark." Ye Huimei wore long sleeves specifically for work. At this moment, she rolled up her sleeves to pick up food, and her arms were still snow-white. Compared with her face, her face was obviously several shades darker.

Ah Guang glanced at the arms that were a bit dazzlingly white, was stunned for a moment, then looked at her face, and muttered to himself, "It's not very dark either."

Maybe there were many children at the table, and it was too noisy, no one heard what he said. Instead, they heard Ye Yaodong say, "If you're afraid of the sun, then you still want to follow me? It's still okay at home. Staying on the isolated island for a whole day, and there's no place to shade, it can peel your skin! Look at my face!"

She pouted. "You just don't want to take me."

"I just don't want to take you! We're all men, why are you following? It's inconvenient to pee!"

Ye mother also said, "What are you going for? There's plenty of work to do at home."

Ye Huimei glared at her third brother and didn't speak. Anyway, he had reasons for everything.

If he was willing to take her, her father and mother definitely wouldn't say anything!

Smelly third brother!

Ah Guang watched her beautiful eyes flowing, and the expression between her glances, couldn't help but look a few more times, and the fair arms that stretched out from time to time, his ears also turned slightly red.

After the whole family was full, they all went to the backyard to help organize the cargo. The women in the family were responsible for opening oysters, and the men helped to pick and choose, picking out everything that could be sold.

Ye Yaodong specifically carried the bucket of goose barnacles that were put together with sea turtle eggs to his father. "Dad, do you know what this is?"

"What? Isn't this Buddha's hands? What else could it be?"

"Have you heard of goose barnacles?"

"What kind of thing? It's clearly Buddha's hands, what goose barnacles."

It's over. His father didn't even recognize it. Ah Cai might also treat it as Buddha's hands, and it wouldn't sell for a high price.

He picked up a Buddha's hand from the ground and compared it with his father. "Do you think they are the same now?"

"The feet are the same, the stem is a bit longer, is there a difference?"

"Of course, these goose barnacles are much more expensive than Buddha's hands!" It's just that he didn't know if they were popular now.

Others heard this and stretched their necks to look, but looking left and right, they felt there was little difference. If they saw them, they would definitely pack them together with Buddha's hands.

"How expensive is it?"

Ye Yaodong spread his hands. "I don't know, I just know this thing is expensive."

Ye father was also not sure if he had misread it. After all, the ocean is vast, and there are many species he doesn't recognize. He hesitated and said, "Why don't you ask Ah Cai when you send it over later?"

"Fine!"

Just ask and see. If Ah Cai doesn't recognize it, then he can only send it to the Hongsheng Grand Hotel in the town tomorrow to ask.

"Pour it out and see how much there is."

"Ah, can't pour, can't pour," he hurriedly stopped his father's action. "There are sea turtle eggs underneath."

"Sea turtle eggs? You even picked up sea turtle eggs, how many?"

He said with a cheeky face, "There were 78 originally, but I thought 68 sounded better, so I took ten out with Ah Guang and roasted them to eat."

Hearing his unserious words, everyone's corners of their mouths twitched. Eat ten if you want to eat ten, why did you have to say 78 was not a good number? It had an 8, how could it not sound good?

Ye father also said unhappily, "Give them to your mother to boil tea eggs later. These sea turtle eggs are delicious when boiled with tea."

"Take them."

After sorting out all the valuable goods, Ye Yaodong sent the things, including the goose barnacles, to Ah Cai.

Sure enough, he also treated goose barnacles as Buddha's hands. After all, except for the stem, everything else looked the same.

Ye Yaodong couldn't explain it either, and he couldn't let people give a high price just by his empty words. The key was that he didn't know what price was appropriate to sell now.

He just said that this wouldn't be sold for the time being. After settling the other goods, he took them home again.

Seeing him carry them back, Ye father hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"

"He didn't recognize it either."

"Did you make a mistake? Maybe the two are the same thing?"

"Definitely not. I'll take it to Hongsheng tomorrow and ask."

"Tossing about... there's a pile of work at home, what are you going to Hongsheng for? Don't get kicked out for making trouble."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and simply carried it back to the room. If he didn't try, how could he give up?

Seeing him enter the room, and the bucket of goose barnacles he mentioned still in the corner, Lin Xiuqing hurriedly asked him, "Ah Cai also said it was Buddha's hands?"

"Hmm."

"Then forget it? Maybe you recognized it wrong?"

"I'll take it to Hongsheng tomorrow and ask."

Seeing him frown, Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to say anything more.

Ye Yaodong asked while taking off his clothes, "Are the oysters all opened?"

"Not yet, there's still more than half. Mother said to leave it for tomorrow to open, it's fresher."

"Can you guys handle it? There's work to be done at the house, and so many shellfish at home to be opened, and then boiled and dried."

"Hmm, so mother asked younger sister to do these at home tomorrow, lest it be too busy and go bad."

"Oh."

He took off his clothes and pants, dug into his pockets, and handed the receipt to her. "This is what was sold for those with shells, totaling 8 yuan 2 mao. You take it to Ah Cai to exchange for money in two days."

"So much?" Lin Xiuqing happily took it and looked at it. After there was no problem, she locked it in the cabinet.

"Wait, there's another one."

He felt under the pillow before handing the receipt for selling barracuda today to Lin Xiuqing. When he took a bath before, he took it out of his dirty clothes pocket and put it under the pillow, lest his wife didn't know and washed it directly.

"What is this? Why is there another one?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at him unexpectedly, a little surprised. What else was sold?

As a result, when she saw the number on the receipt, she was stunned. So much money?

"Today, not only did we harvest those sacks of shellfish and mud crabs, but we also accidentally caught several nets of barracuda, over a thousand jin, and 68 jin of white pomfret. Ah Zheng specifically brought his family's hand-cast net, and he really brought the right one."

She looked carefully at the slip in her hand. Although the words were a bit sloppy, it was indeed written as barracuda and white pomfret.

"So much money, 478 yuan 4 fen, how many people to split?"

If it were all theirs, it would be great!

Ye Yaodong chuckled. Her thoughts were written on her face, too obvious. He also wanted this money to be all his, but who told him he didn't have a fishing net? Everyone went together, so it must be split equally.

"Split by 4 people. You take time to make the ground cage net as soon as possible, and I can take it to put it down. Then we won't have to split the harvest with others."

"There are too many things recently, and the back door is still full of shellfish. The ground cage net can't be made that fast."

"Hmm, it's okay, take your time. Anyway, two sums were entered today, which is a lot. You calculate how much money each person gets."

"Good."

Asking her to calculate money, she was happy. It would be even better if she were counting money!

"119 yuan 5 mao 1 fen each!"

"So much!"

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up. Today's income was not small!

"Hmm!"

Lin Xiuqing also nodded heavily happily! ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
