Chapter 11: Sell the Blue Crab (Collect!) )
Everyone in the Ye family also saw Ye Yaodong's harvest at this time, and Ye Mu was the first to say in surprise: "You also caught two blue crabs?" ”
She pinched her hand as she spoke, and said happily: "It's quite hard, the two should add up to more than a catty, and they can be sold for one or two yuan!" ”
"What are you selling, take it home and eat it yourself!"
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you are a loser, your daughter-in-law can only earn 1 yuan a day of netting, these two blue crabs can be sold for one or two yuan, you actually want to eat them!" Ye Mu glared, and slapped him several times at the same time.
Ye Yaodong took two steps back to avoid his mother's palm, his mother worked all year round, her hands were calloused, and it hurt to beat people.
"Mother, I didn't think about eating it myself, I rarely caught two blue crabs, I wanted to stew it to make up for those children at home......"
Ye Mu's face instantly looked better, and her tone softened, and it was a good thing to think about the child, "There are so many children in the family, who is enough for these two?" ”
"It's okay to drink soup with one person and one foot!"
"So many children, I don't have to cry and fight, this thing is worth a little money, let's sell it, yesterday your father also left a few pike crabs, a pound of small sword shrimp, just eat those."
Ye Yaodong frowned, these two blue crabs add up to just over a catty, and they will be sold for more than a dollar at the current price, which is too cheap compared to future generations.
Blue crabs are also called sturgeons, and they also call farmed blue crabs vegetable sturgeons.
In later generations, the wild blue crabs were cheaper at the wharf, and they were sold for 150 pounds, and the wild ones could not be bought in the market, and they were all farmed in the market, and they also cost 150 pounds.
Seeing him frowning, Ye Mu hurriedly glanced at him and snatched the rope, "I'll take it to the dock to buy it for you and sell it, you wait here, and by the way, dig a little more sand clams, the tide will rise soon." ”
This stupid, his daughter-in-law is tired of making money, he finally caught two blue crabs, and he is about to split up again, he doesn't want to sell some money and give it to his daughter-in-law to save, but he still wants to take it out and share it?
Ye Yaodong watched his mother walk briskly towards the shore, so he had to give up, sell a little is a little, and he didn't turn a corner for a while, so the money is worth a lot now, and it is good to sell a little.
Lin Xiuqing saw that her mother-in-law was carrying the blue crabs and went to sell them, and she was relieved that the two blue crabs could be worth the fishing nets she had made for a few days.
It's people who are selfish, her man is lazy, and he can't make money compared to his eldest brother and second brother, and she can unexpectedly earn more than one or two yuan at this time, and she doesn't want to take it out for everyone to eat.
Seeing Ye's mother's movements, Ye's second sister-in-law deflated her mouth, and she didn't say anything, she had to sell it, so she squatted down and continued to plan.
Sister-in-law Ye was a little curious, "Yaodong, where did you catch the blue crab, no wonder I didn't see you just now." ”
"Over there!"
After what had just happened, he had no desire to talk to these people, so he shook his head casually, gave a direction, and walked towards his wife, looking at the basin beside her that was almost full.
"The harvest is good, and I dig a lot."
Lin Xiuqing smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's a pity that the tide is about to rise, and the low tide will have to wait for the night, so I can only come again tomorrow." ”
She looked at his trouser legs pulled up high, then at the rocks, "Did you go out into the tide and dig these?" ”
Finally gave him a smile, Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, there is nothing on the nearby stone wall, and the sea melon seeds and snails are only the size of a fart, so I walked out a little, and I guess I was blocked by those strange-shaped big rocks, so you didn't see it." ”
Have you really become more diligent? Have you been digging hard for so long? No wonder there was no figure nearby, and he actually walked out of the tide.
"These sea melon seeds and spicy snails are still a little smaller." She reached out and rummaged through the basket.
"I've dug up everything I can eat, the sea melon seeds are okay, and when they are ripe, I will open my mouth, don't look smaller, but it should be quite meaty. The snail is a little smaller, take it home and divide it, and let a few children smash it with a stone and steam it with scallion oil. ”
"What? Shallot oil? Do you still need oil to boil a snail? Just boil it with water and pick the meat to eat, where do you get the way to eat, you have to use oil to eat a snail? ”
Lin Xiuqing frowned, looking at him incredulously, he really didn't know that tea, rice, oil and salt were expensive!
"Uh... Scold... If you heard that, then let's burn it. Ye Yaodong sneered, he habitually brought the way of eating in the family of later generations, and forgot for a while that he was eating lard now, but he didn't want to make it like this.
Fresh seafood can be boiled, and their family now can be boiled on it, so there is no need to waste seasoning money.
Lin Xiuqing frowned and glanced at him strangely, and squatted down again, "Mother hasn't come over yet, I'll dig for a while, you can either take your son to the shore and wait." ”
"Okay!"
It just so happens that he doesn't want to do it anymore! Soaking in water for too long is also uncomfortable for your feet.
Ye Chengyang's feet were buried in the sand by himself, and he was still giggling there, he directly picked up the whole child who was playing energetically, and then stuck it under his armpit, and went ashore first with his harvest by the way.
As soon as the child was pinched under his armpit, he began to cry, his limbs danced wildly, and he jumped out in two words, "I want to play, I want to play, I don't, go home!" ”
"It's high tide, everyone is going home!"
"Don't, don't, Yangyang, want to play!"
"Next time, do you want to eat corn at home? When I went back late, I was eaten up by your brothers and sisters. ”
When it came to eating, the child didn't struggle anymore, but said, "I want to eat, I want to eat!" ”
After Ye Yaodong came ashore, he put him down and let him sit on a stone on the shore, "Sit obediently and wait for your mother to finish digging and then go back together." ”
"Hungry ......"
"Why didn't you say you were hungry when you just played? Wait for me! ”
Ye Yaodong was accustomed to seeing the dissatisfaction of his two sons decades later, and from time to time he talked back, hating him for not being made of steel. I'm really not used to being so small now, and I can't pity it......
Ye Chengyang's mouth was flat, he was a little aggrieved, and his appearance of crying or not was seen by Ye Mu, who happened to come over, and Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who parked the boat.
Ye Mu immediately felt distressed, "What's wrong, Yangyang?" Who bullied you? Tell Grandma, Grandma beats him! ”
After having a backer, Ye Chengyang suddenly opened his mouth and howled loudly, "Dad, it's Dad!" ”
Mother Ye immediately pretended to hit Ye Yaodong twice, "Grandma has already helped you beat your father, be good, don't cry." ”
Ye Chengyang immediately closed his mouth and stopped howling, his tears scaled freely, and only when his eyelashes were a little moist did he see that there were traces of crying.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth!
Bear kids!
No wonder it's so unpleasant when it's big!
"Grandma, hungry, hungry, corn!"
"Okay, we'll go home and cook right away."
After Mother Ye comforted her grandson, she shouted to several daughters-in-law on the beach: "Go home, don't dig, it's not early, it's time to go home for dinner." ”
The three daughters-in-law were already grumbling with hunger, and when they saw their mother-in-law calling them, they each went ashore with a basin and bucket, and the tide was coming up soon.
