Chapter 26: Catching the Sea

In recent years, the living standards of many families have improved, and not every household is willing to go to the sea, not to mention such a big sun, isn't it fragrant to make money by weaving fishing nets at home?

And Taohai can't make money, so it can only earn a bite to eat.

Ye Yaodong walked home, and only saw a few people carrying tools and buckets sporadically on the way.

As soon as he walked to the corner, he saw several women in his family with children, and a large group of people.

"To the docks, or to the junction beach?"

Lin Xiuqing hugged her youngest son and stopped to answer him, "My mother said that I should go to the dock, and a few of your friends are looking for you to go to Taohai and are waiting at the door." ”

"Got it, you go first, I'll be here in a moment."

Ye Yaodong trotted home, and several of his friends were sitting in the shade of his house with their feet crossed, waiting, watching him run over from afar, and teasing a few words.

"Yo, our brother Dong has become more diligent, and he went to help weed on a hot day?"

He gasped and stood in the shade of the tree, stretching out his hand to fan the wind, "I can't help my own new home?" ”

Ah Zheng said righteously: "When will you start building?" If you need help, let us know and we'll give you a hand. ”

"If you don't work at home, come over and work for me, your mother won't beat you with a mallet!"

"No, my mother will only praise me for being diligent! What's more, we are all brothers, if something happens to my family, you will also help. ”

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart: A loving mother is a loser.

Forget that you are also a 'loser'!

"Well, I'll call you when I need to. You've got all the tools, right? Wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get a hook and a bucket, and by the way get a hat, it's too dry. ”

"Hurry up, you'll be picked up when it's too late."

"Right now!"

He ran in and didn't find where to put the hook, so he directly took a fire tong and hurried out, and the old lady called behind him with a bamboo tube, "Dongzi, bring the tea." ”

He turned around again and took the bamboo tube given by the old lady, "Thank you, Grandma, you can go back!" You just sit in the house or sit at the door to enjoy the cool, don't go to the backyard, if the floor is wet, be careful of slippery feet. ”

"Hey, good~"

"Then I'm leaving!"

A group of five people each carried a bucket and loaded tools and walked to the dock.

Xiaoxiao said a little excitedly: "It seems that we haven't been to Taohai for two years." ”

Ah Zheng reminded: "More than that, right? We haven't been there much since you got married. ”

"It's okay, let's relive the old dream today and go quickly." Ye Yaodong was full of infinite hope for the life he started over at this time, and the whole person seemed a little positive.

Seeing him so fast, everyone also quickened their pace to keep up.

When he arrived at the pier, there were already quite a few people on the beach below, both old and young, and his family was the most!

And the adults are there to be distracted yelling, and the children are not allowed to run out of the tide, but only to play on the beach.

When Ye Yaodong's two sons saw him coming, they called out loudly, "Dad! Father! Mother, dad is here too! ”

Lin Xiuqing looked up at someone who was late, it was good that she didn't fool her by the pillow last night, "I know, you guys are playing next to me, you are not allowed to run around." ”

Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but say: "Yaodong has been diligent in the past two days!" ”

"Who knows how many days it will last? It may be that I haven't been to Taohai for a long time, and maybe it's fresh for a while. Second sister-in-law Ye pouted, she didn't believe that Ye Yaodong had changed for the better all of a sudden, after all, the country is easy to change, and her nature is difficult to change!

"It's good to look at the tune, it's not like before, I always can't see people."

"If you are not diligent, be responsible, and wait until the family is separated to see who will support him!"

After Ye Yaodong approached, he also heard the discussion of the two sisters-in-law, and his brows couldn't help frowning, women just talk a lot!

"Dad, where are you going? Mother said not to go under the tide. ”

"I'm going to catch fish and crabs, you guys are just here to play, help dig sand clams, don't follow."

A few children stopped abruptly, and could only watch him go down, they also wanted to go down to play, if there were no adults, they would go down to swim, but it was a pity.

"Let's act separately and see who catches more in a while."

"Yes!"

This kind of luck to find crabs, fish and shrimp is not as fast as Ye Mu and their clams, so few people take the time to find them, and a few of them are idle.

And Ye Yaodong also tasted the sweetness of catching two blue crabs yesterday, and walked directly towards the surrounding stones at this time.

He used the tongs in his hand to remove a large stone, and the surprise appeared just as he expected, a large nine-section shrimp!

"Yo, I found a nine-section shrimp! That's the first place! He hurriedly picked up the nine-section shrimp that was still bouncing and held it up to the others.

Several people turned around one after another, "Luck, there was a harvest just after coming down, and it was a nine-section shrimp!" ”

The nine-section shrimp is big, the appearance is beautiful and exceptionally good-looking, there is a deep and shallow horizontal pattern on the body, and the tail is also patterned, and there are obvious nine-section white patterns after cooking, the meat is refreshing and elastic, and it is very happy, Ye Yaodong himself likes to eat it, and he picked up a good start as soon as he came out, and he was very satisfied.

"I see that I'm greedy, I'm going to catch a few more", Xiao Xiao was full of motivation, and kicked a stone on the side at random, "Huh~ Jumping fish?" I didn't expect that a casual kick would also be rewarding. ”

"Oh, you've all gained, and we can't be left behind, go... Walk... Act separately! ”

Originally, everyone was also idle and idle, and they came to have a lively mentality, but now they are also interested.

After the tide recedes, the small fish and shrimp on the bottom of the sea are easily stumbled by large and small stones, and do not retreat into the sea with the tide, so they move in the low-lying shallow water and tidal flat areas around the reef, and will not return to the sea until the next high tide.

Everyone has a lot of experience, and when they look for it, they always look for low-lying places with stones and water.

Ye Yaodong felt that his luck was a little good, and as soon as he took two steps to the side, he saw two stone crabs hiding under the big rocks.

"I caught two more, but it's a pity that it's not a blue crab, it's better than nothing."

The brown breastplate of the stone crab is mottled with red patches, the chelicerae are roughly bright red, the appearance is like a stone, the shell is very thick, and it prefers to inhabit the muddy and rocky bottom near the low tide line, or the seaweed on the seabed, and most often lurks under the rocks.

He used the tongs to clip the two stone crabs hiding under the big stones directly into the bucket, and then moved them to the side again.

In the 80s, the beach in their village has not been developed, it is still in a pristine state, and the sea is extremely rich.

As for how much to harvest, it depends on the tide and luck.
