Chapter 33: Picking at the dock
chatted with everyone for a while, and it wasn't until it was almost four o'clock that Ye Yaodong patted his ass and got up.
"I'm going to the dock to help pick up the goods, you can handle the seafood, and I'll come back when I'm done distributing the goods."
Ah Guang looked at him in surprise, "Are you really sensible?" ”
"Get out!"
He took a big step and quickened his pace towards the pier, at which point the tide on the shore was rising, and the fishing boats should be almost at the pier.
After arriving at the wharf, there were already quite a few villagers on the shore, all of whom were family members who went to sea, waiting for the boat to come back to help pick up the goods.
Ye Mu was already waiting at the dock, and when she saw Ye Yaodong coming, she was satisfied.
I just waited for a long time and didn't see him, and I thought that this stinky boy was in the wind again, and he would listen to it to show that there was still salvation, and he also looked at it in the past few days.
Ye Yaodong also saw his mother, walked towards her, and said with a smile: "Mother, why are you here too?" ”
"Isn't it worrying about you? What if you don't listen, or forget? Didn't your dad and big brother have no one to help? ”
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Are you worth believing?"
The villager next to him also smiled and said, "Ah Dong also came out to help today?" ”
"That's how it should be, the family is busy, you should stretch out your hand if you have any work, young people should be diligent and have a little vision."
He responded casually, his eyes were fixed on the ships on the sea, there were not many people in their village who had boats, except for a few docked on the shore, most of them had sailed out to sea, and the one in front of him was driving back, it should be his father's boat, right?
"Dongzi, that's your father's ship, right?"
"Right? Wait and see, we'll be on the shore in a moment. ”
The speed of the boat slowed down, and they could see the blue paint on the hull, and they were sure that it was their boat.
Ye Yaodong and Ye Mu hurriedly walked down the stone steps, ready to pick up the goods for a while.
Ye's father on the boat also saw that his third son actually came to the dock to help for the first time, but he didn't say anything, and after docking the boat, he moved the goods to them with Ye Yaopeng and asked them to carry them ashore first.
The first to be carried off the boat was a basket of pike crabs, followed by a basket of pipi shrimp, and the rest was only a few catties of bulk cargo.
Like the big sword shrimp, it is estimated that there are only two or three catties, the small sword shrimp is not worth more than a dozen catties, and there are two catties of squid tubes, and the water valley fish are big and small, and they need to be sorted, and there are more than a dozen catties when they look at it, and there are four or five catties of small yellow croaker, and the others are some miscellaneous fish and small fish that are not very valuable.
There are no big items today, but the harvest looks good too!
After the goods were carried off the ship, Father Ye docked the boat again to the side to vacate the docking position, and there would be a boat coming in behind.
Ye Yaodong and the others moved the goods into the purchase point, the size of the pike crab is different, the price is not the same, they need to pour it out and sort, and they also use rubber bands to tie the crab legs together.
When Ye's father and Ye Yaopeng were on the boat, they had already tied up most of them in their free time, but there were still some that were not tied.
As soon as the pike crabs are poured out, their feet are shaking wildly, jumping around, and they look very fresh.
He grabbed a few at random, and their backs were quite hard, "quite fat, and the little ones were also very hard and meaty." ”
"Recently, the crabs have been quite fat, and the shrimp are also very fat, the meat is very full, and some of them have red cream."
The three of them tied up the crab legs with their hands and feet, and then divided them according to their size.
Mother Ye and Boss Ye were very surprised when they looked at Ye Yaodong's movements.
When did he do this? can be tied so neatly, and the speed is not slower than theirs!
"Third child, you're quite fast? I can't see it! ”
"Cut~ What's this? Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean I won't! ”
"You're a bastard, you don't do any work at home, you go out to help others, don't you? It's so out of tune every day......"
Listening to his mother's broken thoughts, he didn't refute it, alas, he should bear it.
After sorting the crabs, they poured out a small basket of shrimp aunts, the sorting of shrimp aunts is much simpler, it is good to separate the size, sword shrimp and water valley fish are also to sort the size.
The big ones can be sold for a little price, and the small ones are worthless.
They put the worthless small fish and shrimp in separate buckets, and some small moray eels and trash fish, all of which were packed up and brought back, and dried the fish by the way.
After all the goods were weighed, Father Ye went over to settle the accounts, and they took the fish home first.
"Mother, how much can these goods sell today? The large and small crabs add up to more than 30 catties, the shrimp also has more than 20 catties, the shrimp also has a few catties, and there are some other fish goods, which also look very good. ”
"Today's receipt is very good, the crab is big 3 cents, the small one is 2 cents, the shrimp is 3 cents and 5 cents, the small one is 2 cents and 6 cents, the shrimp is a little more expensive 5 cents, plus those seven, seven, eight or eight things, it should be able to sell for 30 yuan, but the diesel cost also has to go to two yuan, and the machine also has to cost, and it is easy to break, and it often has to be repaired."
"It's also good, I can save a lot in a month!"
Ye Mu glanced at him, "Do you think you can go every day, and you have so many harvests every day?" Let's rely on the sky to eat, where can we say anything about the sea, some of them only sold a dozen yuan yesterday. ”
"That's better than doing odd jobs."
Ye Yaopeng sincerely invited again, "The third child also takes turns to go to sea together, right?" Relying on the sea to eat the sea, we always have to learn from our father. ”
"Huh? You learn from the second brother first, and when you know, I'll learn again! ”
Ye Mu listened to his shirk, and opened her mouth to scold, but she still forcibly accepted it, this is at the dock, for the sake of his diligent performance today, I will bear with it for the time being.
After the family is divided, he has to be asked to go to sea with him, and the money he earns now can be counted in the public house and used to build a house.
After the separation, the eldest and second children will go to sea with them, and they will not be allowed to share their money? The third child is idle all day long, and can only wait for them to starve to death, or wait for them to be raised in old age, what is this?
Other people's families are raising children to prevent old age, they have given birth to an ancestor!
Ye Yaodong didn't know what his mother was slandering in his heart, and he slipped away as soon as he arrived at the door, leaving only one sentence, he didn't eat at home at night, anyway, he helped do all the work he should do today.
Mother Ye was helpless, and felt that it was normal for the third child to be like this, today she went to the homestead, went to the sea, and went to the dock to help, so diligent, she didn't know her anymore.
Second sister-in-law Ye pouted, "I just looked a little more reliable, and ran away again!" ”
"Let him go, it's already good to be able to help with things. You pick out a bowl of fish and shrimp and send them to your mother's house, and kill the others, the big ones are braised and the small ones are dried. The same is true for small shrimp, take a bowl to boil, and peel the shell and dry the shrimp for the other, this kind of weather will not be put tomorrow. ”
The three daughters-in-law should be down, Lin Xiuqing's mother's house is relatively far away, and she has no chance to send fish to her family, so she can only watch the two sisters-in-law send fish back to her parents' house, and she stays to kill fish.
Mother Ye waited for the two of them to walk away before saying to Lin Xiuqing: "Look at when you plan to go back to your parents' house, and leave you some good goods to bring back in advance." ”
"Okay, mother, don't worry, I'll wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival to go back."
……
Of the three sons, Mother Ye has always tried her best to make a bowl of water even.

Insert Price Description:
The price of seafood in the 80s I specially asked my dad these days, my grandparents were doing seafood wholesale in that era, and my dad was eighteen or nineteen years old, and they followed my grandparents to the surrounding ports and wharves to buy seafood wholesale, and the price would not vary much.
The only difference is the yellow croaker, at that time the yellow croaker was not as valuable as it is now, one or two catties of wild yellow croaker my father said that it was only sold for 6 cents a catty.
At that time, the head of the master who worked was more than 2 yuan a day, and the small workers who worked rough were only more than 1 yuan a day.
At that time, seafood was also a few cents a catty, but most people were reluctant to buy it, after all, the salary was only one or two yuan a day, and the dragon head fish (tofu fish) was only 6 cents a catty at that time.
At the beginning of this book, the price of big yellow croaker is actually a little higher, but it is also to pave the plot, let's just take a look, don't compare it at that time, only the price of cucumber fish is inflated.
This book will also continue to maintain the inflated price of yellow croaker, which is hereby explained.
The price of the front scalp shrimp has also been revised, and I will definitely ask for the price next time.
This is a digression, let me tell you about the actual situation, the price of other seafood is basically in line with the price at that time.
My family didn't know that I was writing a novel, and I was embarrassed to ask my dad cheekily, and now I'm being chased by my family to ask about my clumsy work (embarrassing).........
Here, by the way, ask for a wave of collections, follow the reading, and it would be better to have a reward, after all, during the new book period, there is no manuscript fee if it is not put on the shelf, and it is pure power generation for love!
Thank you for your support! Take a bow!
