Chapter 145: Money Comes in Again
Ye Yaodong handed him the fishing rod, and by the way, he threw one of the small fish and one shrimp to him, whatever he wanted to use as bait.
He hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I just came back from the ground cage, there are goods in the bucket, just take a small miscellaneous fish."
"That'll do." Ye Yaodong threw the small fish back into the bucket and threw the shrimp onto the board.
Lin Lao Liu took the fishing rod and said with a smile: "Then I'll try it, and I'll give it back to you after catching a rod."
After speaking, he also learned from Ye Yaodong to pick a piece of fish meat, hang it on the bait, and then throw it into the sea, saying, "I don't know if I'm lucky or not, what can I catch?"
"Wait a minute, there will always be a fish on the hook."
Ye Yaodong stared at the sea with his chin propped up, and felt that it had been four or five minutes, and Lin Lao Liu was a little hesitant to lift the rod to see if the bait had fallen, but he saw a long thing swimming in the sea.
In less than 3 seconds, Lin Lao Liu said happily, "Yes, there is."
He slowly tried to lift it, but found that it was quite heavy, and pulled it hard again in some surprise.
"Big eel!"
Ye Yaodong exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Lao Liu also said happily, "Good guy! This one weighs seven or eight pounds, thick and long."
"Uncle Lin, good luck."
"Haha, it may be a newcomer", he lifted the big eel and stretched it out to Ye Yaodong, "Put it back in the bucket!" It's a big eel, too."
"You caught it, or did you keep it?" I'll just borrow a fishing rod."
There were already a few good goods in the bucket, and he would give him the ones he caught.
"No, no, I'll lend you a fishing rod to play with, and I'll give you the fish I caught."
"That's embarrassing."
"What's this, I'm an elder, and I can still talk about this fish? Hurry up and put it in the bucket, be careful, don't get bitten by it, such a big eel, the teeth are very powerful. By the way, I have to go back to eating."
Since he said so, then he is welcome.
"Then thank you uncle, come to my house when you have time to come to the village."
"Good ......"
After saying hello, Lin Lao Liu rowed the boat and walked back, Xishan Village also has a very small wharf, which is not as good as their village, but it can also dock and go ashore.
After the others left, Ye Yaodong fished two more rods with fish and meat, and it was another stupid one with Shi Jiugong, so he simply called it a day and went back.
It's noon, it's time to rush back for lunch.
Today is the first day of their new stove, so they have to go home early.
He put away the fishing rod without hesitation, and by the way, he picked up all the small shrimp left on the deck back into the bucket, which could not be wasted, and he could peel and dry the shrimp if he couldn't sell them for money.
As for the fish that he had detained, he threw it back into the sea, and let it return to dust, and return to the bosom of the sea to make its last contribution.
Rowing a small boat, under the scorching sun, the wind on the sea blew away the heat on his body, making him feel very comfortable, and some small boats on the sea were also preparing to call a day and stop working.
After he slowly docked the boat, he still put the fishing rod on the boat, and anyone would make such a simple fishing rod, so that no one would go out of their way to steal it.
After securing the boat, he disembarked with two large barrels of cargo and sent them to the acquisition point, the tabby is not common, but it is not uncommon for no one to catch.
He caught one three months ago, that is, this one is bigger, there are 2 catties and 3, and Ah Cai also gave a good price for face, and he received 4 yuan and 5 cents per catty.
The eel is 4 cents a catty, the one is 7 catties 2, the red chapter is 3 cents and 5, and the 4 caught are only 3 catties, and the yellow mountain fish is to look at the price of the head.
He fished the one for one pound and two taels, and bought one piece for one cent, and the remaining ones were only six or seven taels, 7 cents a catty.
Mom, if you think about it, he's got a great harvest today!
It is more than the value of his ground cage goods, and the ground cage has only been sold for fifteen yuan, and those blue crabs and red paste crabs are the big heads.
"There's been a lot of cage goods lately
?」 Ah Cai handed him the list and asked with a smile.
"It's okay."
He put away the list with a smile, and didn't specifically say that half of the fish were caught by him, so there was no need to explain everything clearly, just make money by yourself.
There is also a one-legged red paste crab in the bucket that he deliberately left, and he also left a few stupid ones, and the receipt is very good today, these few worthless ones will be taken back to pickle salted fish, and they can also make hot and sour soup for fish fillets.
There are also some small fish and shrimp, which should also be taken back to dry the fish. When they moved, they didn't take anything of the dried fish and shrimp dried at home, they really only took the things in their own house.
Carrying two buckets, he quickened his pace.
When he arrived at the door, he saw his wife slap off the hand of the boss who was going to steal food, "Your father hasn't come back yet, what's the hurry?"
"I'm hungry, mother, when will my father come back?"
"It's fast, who told you to run around all day long, it's not fast to be hungry, wait and see, it should be fast."
Ye Chenghu flattened his mouth, "Grandma used to say don't wait for Dad, let's eat ours, so that Dad's hunger is good."
Ye Yaodong: This stinky boy!
Lin Xiuqing didn't know how to explain to the children, their father had become better, and thought for a while, "That was before, aren't we not living with them now?"
"Mother, hungry, ...... rice"
When she saw that her youngest son was also screaming, she had to pat them on the head, "Okay, my mother will pack food for you first, and wait while eating......
"I'm back."
"Dad, you're finally back, I'm going to starve to death!"
"Dad, hug~" Ye Chengyang climbed off the stool and rushed straight over, habitually hugging his legs!
Ye Yaodong lifted him up, put him on the stool, and then looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Next time I come back late, don't wait for me, you can just eat." If you don't have any leftovers, you can just cook noodles and fill your stomach."
She smiled and said, "Isn't this thinking about the first day when the family eats together? Go wash your hands."
"Hmm."
A simple three dishes and a soup.
Steamed salted fish, scrambled eggs with shrimp, stir-fried baby greens, and potato soup with pickles.
He knew that they had grown the little greens themselves, and the small vegetable patch he opened in the backyard had grown green and could be pinched down and eaten.
The rest of the dishes, was it brought by his mother?
Thinking so in his heart, he asked the same thing.
Lin Xiuqing responded: "Yes, not long after you went out, my mother brought a big basket of dry goods and potatoes over, let me share it with my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and let us go and get it after eating."
"Oh, then you don't have to buy groceries, let's eat it."
"My mother also said that there was not much rice left in the family, and my father and eldest brother went to sea. She asked you and her second brother to pack four sacks of rice from the barn and send them to the workshop to be beaten in the afternoon, and the beaten rice was divided into one bag for each family. The rice bran is also collected by herself, and when her hens are in the nest, we will divide a few chicks into each of them, and then we will feed the chickens."
Ye Yaodong listened to the chatter in his ear, and nodded while eating, "I'll go after eating."
"There's no hurry."
After Lin Xiuqing sandwiched a large piece of scrambled eggs with shrimp for him, he immediately sandwiched a few small pieces into the bowl of his eldest son, but the younger son in his arms couldn't wait for her to feed him, and shouted there: "Yes, I want to ......
"Got it, I'll clip it to you."
After stuffing a piece of shrimp in his mouth, he calmed down.
"Eat slowly, there's ......?"
Ye Yaodong watched the interaction between the mother and son, his eyes were full of smiles.
"You eat it too, he's so big, just give him a spoon and dig it yourself and eat it, you don't have to feed it like this, right?"
"Then how can you eat decently, these two can only eat at ease when they are off the table."
"Okay."
After the two children finished eating, Lin Xiuqing took half of the meal eaten by his youngest son and continued to eat, and Ye Yaodong hurriedly put the leftovers
Pour a little scrambled eggs with shrimp into her bowl.
"Too many ......"
"Finish eating!"
After a few sips of soup, he put the bowl away, and then took a kitchen knife and a cutting board to kill the fish.
Lin Xiuqing watched him work, and also sped up his meal, ready to help.
The husband and wife killed fish and peeled shrimp, and after a while, they finished their work.
"There is also a one-legged red cream crab in the other bucket, and I will go to the pharmacy after dinner in the evening to buy a few codonopsis and wolfberries and stew them for the two children."
"Uh-huh."
Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong remembered that when he came back, he washed his hands and ate, and forgot to take the manifest to her.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the price on the list, she was not surprised, she didn't ask, she was numb, and she was used to him being able to sell a lot of money when she returned, she just counted the money and saved it.
"I finished collecting the goods in the ground cage today, and by the way, I caught a fish for a while, and the harvest was very good, and I caught a two-pound and two-pound tiger grouper."
"Ah, no wonder it was sold for so much money."
"Well, you save well, and there will be more places to use money in the future."
She doesn't need to say this, she understands it.
"Dongzi? Are you alright? Let's go to the old house to load rice."
It was Ye Yaohua who heard the sound of talking from the back door, so he came out to call him.
"Alright."
Just after killing the fish and washing her hands, let her take care of the rest.
There is no rice mill workshop in their village, so they need to push a cart of rice to Dongqiao Village, where there is a rice mill workshop.
When they went, the previous person had just finished processing, and they arrived at them without queuing.
The two brothers carried a bag of rice and poured it through the top opening of the rice mill, Ye Yaodong took a sack and put it on the rice outlet, and after it was ready, the owner of the workshop started the rice mill.
After a while, the grinding wheel moved, grinding the outer skin of the rice, removing the brown layer of husk, and the white grains of rice flowed out of the mouth and flowed to the sack.
The freshly milled rice was hot, white, beautiful and touchy, Ye Yaodong reached over from time to time to pick it up, and when his palm was full, he flipped it again, threw it back into the bag, and then repeated this action.
After processing a bag, he lifted it, and estimated that a hundred catties of rice would produce about sixty or seventy catties of rice, and he would charge 1 cent for processing, and if he didn't want rice bran, he could charge 1 cent less.
They definitely want this, and their mother also told them to take the rice bran home and feed it to the chickens.
By the time the four bags of rice were finished, an hour had passed.
The two brothers gave the wages and pushed the milled rice back to divide it.
