Chapter 164: Oysters
They didn't sleep until dawn, and this morning their whole family got up late, and they all slept too late last night, and so did their two children.
But as soon as they woke up and saw Ye Yaodong, the two of them immediately remembered the oil cakes and maltose that their father promised them, they were all asleep yesterday, and they didn't know what he came back.
"Daddy, Daddy, where's our oil cake, our maltose?"
"Daddy~Daddy~"
The two climbed directly to Ye Yaodong's side, one pushed him and the other sat on him, which frightened him to wake up immediately and protect his life.
"Go down!"
"Dad~ You said yesterday that you would bring us oil cakes and maltose!"
"Uh-huh, yes, oil cakes, maltose!"
Lin Xiuqing was also woken up and sat up, "I started reading early in the morning, and I have been reading all night yesterday."
"Daddy promised us! Words count!"
Ye Yaodong wrinkled his face, he was tossed by two before he opened his eyes, the little one was still sitting on his stomach and twisting around, he turned sideways, put him down directly, and hurriedly said, "Bought it, bought it, on the table outside."
"Oh~yesyes~"
"yes yes~~"
The two of them didn't wear any clothes that were excited, so they climbed out of bed directly and rushed out one after the other.
After Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, he took the quilt and covered himself and continued to close his eyes.
Lin Xiuqing sat next to him and put on his clothes and laughed at him, "See if you dare to tempt them next time, say something else, they may forget, you have to say something to bring them food, they will not forget it for a long time."
"That's right, as soon as I opened my eyes, I asked, and I thought that when the night passed, they would forget", Ye Yaodong sat up and hugged her, pressed her back to the bed, and took off the clothes she had just put on by the way, "Lie down for a while, I slept too late last night."
"What are you doing, the two children are up, it's time to get up and make breakfast."
"No hurry, sleep a little longer."
Ye Yaodong wrapped one hand around her, and one leg was still pressed across her body.
"Don't make a fuss, it's dawn......" Lin Xiuqing struggled and whispered.
"It's been a long time......
More than half a month has passed since he came back from his mother-in-law's house, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, he can endure it, but it's been too long, he will always think, otherwise what if it's full?
"There's no way around it, early in the morning, the two children are still outside, and they'll rush in later."
"Is that okay that night?"
Lin Xiuqing hesitated and said, "Wait for the evening... Besides, you let me get up first, and then let the child see it."
Ye Yaodong reluctantly let go of the addiction, let her get up, and then rolled up the quilt, planning to continue to lie down for a while, by the way, slowly, easy to impulse in the morning.
Every day, the tide recedes about 50 minutes later than the day before, and he gets up late in the morning, and it is more than 8 o'clock at this time in a state of low tide, the water level is too shallow, and the boat is not good to go out.
It's just that the wish is good, and the reality is that the two children are running in again with a chatter.
"Dad, my mother put away the maltose and won't let us eat it."
Ye Yaodong turned over and looked at them, "Your mother won't give you food, and I don't have a problem?"
….
"You told her, didn't you buy it?"
"I bought it, then she won't give it to you, I can't help it, I have to be controlled by her."
"Aren't you the head of the family? If you scold her, she will listen to you."
Lin Xiuqing happened to walk in from outside to dress them when he heard this, directly twisted his ears and slapped his ass hard.
"You're itching, aren't you?"
Ye Yaodong also glared at his eldest son, he was heard talking like this, and he deserved to be beaten.
"Ah, I was wrong......
"Why don't you give them food, they all bought it back, do you want to let it go bad?"
Lin Xiuqing said angrily, "You listen to his lie, talk
I told him that I would eat it after I had eaten, and that I was not allowed to eat it now, and this kid couldn't wait to run in and complain."
This time, Ye Yaodong didn't help them speak, and even took quotes out of context, but he was clever.
After watching her teach her son a lesson, he also sobered up, so he simply got up and went to the back door to see how the shelled ones were divided yesterday?
I saw that there were bamboo baskets stacked in the corner of the back door, all sorted well, and only a sack of oysters was still in the corner.
This is because he told her yesterday not to move yet.
"Ah Dong didn't go to sea today?"
"Well, sister-in-law, the tide hasn't arrived yet, I'll go back in the afternoon."
"We've made two more cages, do you want to take them in the afternoon?"
"Okay."
He now has almost 60 ground cages, which can fit 6 rows.
In his heart, he silently calculated the family's savings, and then gave her more than 700 at noon and night, he estimated that the family's savings were only about 2,000, which was still too little, and he could only buy a second-hand trawler, in fact, the most important thing was that the machine on the ship was expensive.
After thinking about it, it is better for the boat to open first, and this small wooden boat has not been open for long, and the child will be born safely next year, the fine will be completed, and then it will be changed when there is money in hand.
With that in mind, he went into the house and took a washbasin for washing vegetables, washed it and set it aside, then dragged the sack of oysters out of the corner, untied the straw rope tied to the mouth, and poured it out.
Putting on gloves and holding a flathead screwdriver, I plan to take advantage of the free time before breakfast to help open a little first, and this job will not be faked to others first.
The size of each oyster is more than 5+, and as soon as the shell is pried open, the meat inside is about to overflow, and it is very fat.
It's a pity that there is no mustard, otherwise squeeze a little mustard and smear it, and it will be very fresh to eat it raw.
After thinking about it, he simply shouted at Lin Xiuqing in the room, "Ah Qing? Is the porridge out? Shall I wash a few oysters and steam them?"
"Yes, I'll get the pot out."
He took out the meat and put it in the basin, picked out ten more beautiful shapes, and rinsed them and brushed the sand off the shell with a board brush.
Then he took it into the house and handed it to Lin Xiu to steam, and returned to the back door to continue to open oysters.
Every meat that comes out is very full, and it is a pity to take it to dry, but there is no way to store it without drying, and such a sack can not be eaten for two days.
opened four or five in a row, and there was nothing in it that he wanted, and he was not very disappointed, after all, the probability is not easy to say, and it is possible that a whole sack of oysters may not be opened.
….
Just when he was busy with his work, Ye Mu came over happily, and he heard his mother's loud voice at the front door at the back door.
After a while, he came out of the back door of his sister-in-law's house from far and near, and then looked at him with bright eyes, and walked over quickly.
"Dongzi, you didn't open it yesterday? I thought you opened it yesterday, and I wanted to come over and ask how many you opened."
He raised an eyebrow, seeing his mother so happy, he must have had a harvest yesterday, "You bloomed pearls yesterday?" How many?"
Sister-in-law Ye followed Mother Ye's side, and she was shocked when she heard the words, "Pearl?"
As soon as the second sister-in-law Ye poured the oysters brought by Mother Ye into her own bowl, and was coming out with the bowl to return it to her, she heard Sister-in-law Ye say pearls!
What pearls?
She also stepped forward curiously, "Mother, what pearls are you talking about?"
Ye Mu smiled and squinted, and said happily: "I tell you, don't go out and say, last night Megumi and I opened the whole bag of oysters, and the result was 3 pearls, plus the one she opened on the island, she got 4 this time."
"What? 4 pearls?"
Both of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
Ye Yaodong was also a little surprised, he could still open 2 pieces in a bag, which was very good, and he didn't know if he could open this bag.
Fat man
They weren't at home like him last night, and I don't know if their daughter-in-law came out yesterday.
Ye Mu said happily: "Yes, it came out of the oyster, I didn't expect the pearl to really bloom in the oyster, I have only heard of it before, I have never seen it."
"Yesterday at noon, Emi didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything until I opened one last night. This stinky girl is afraid that I will take her......
Ye Mu complained again as she spoke, "She is still young and not married yet, can I help her keep it and not return it to her?" There is also such a large amount of money, and I have to collect it myself, I am my own mother, and I am not a stepmother, can I still be greedy......
The two concubines were stunned again, what a lot of money?
This is both pearls and money, why can't my mother make it clear?
Only Lin Xiuqing, who came out after hearing the sound, heard it and understood it, and she also knew the beginning and the end, she smiled and said, "The little sister is not young anymore, she is 20 years old. Hasn't my mother always asked people to introduce her to someone, then she is not far from getting married, and she will receive what she earns, and there is nothing bad about it."
The two concubines are like cat's claws in their hearts, scratching their hearts and livers, why don't they make it clear?
Second sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but interject, "Mother, what kind of oysters are you talking about, and what kind of money is there?" Can you make this clear? We all hear it."
"Oh, it's all so clear, why don't you understand?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and explained to them again on the side, and the two concubines realized that they were envious, and they patted their thighs and regretted why they didn't follow them cheekily yesterday?
They walked a few steps quickly to Ye Yaodong, looked at the oysters all over the ground, and the sack next to them, picked up an oyster and looked at it, but they didn't find anything special.
How do you get pearls?
When they heard about it before, they thought it was a false rumor, a fake, but they didn't expect that the oysters could really be opened?
….
Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is it really the oysters?"
Ye Mu rolled her eyes, "I've said it a few times, you still don't believe it!" When Dongzi comes out later, you should believe it."
Ye Yaodong listened to the four women chattering there, their voices were louder than the other, and he couldn't help but shake his head, one woman is equal to 500 ducks!
Second sister-in-law Ye asked again, "Mother, did my little sister really earn more than 300 yuan yesterday?"
The tangled and uncomfortable look on her face seemed to have missed 100 million!
Ye Yaodong felt sorry for her when he saw it.
"Is that fake? Dongzi helped take it to the town to sell, but unfortunately, I originally wanted to go with it yesterday morning, but a few of your aunts told me to go to the beach to dig sand clams, and I missed it, oops, I'm really angry......
Sister-in-law Ye also asked Lin Xiuqing, "My little sister's has sold more than 300, are you selling more?"
How can you tell them how much money you earn?
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "It's not much worse, it's a little more than my little sister." The little sister is still blooming the pearls, ours haven't opened yet, and Ah Dong didn't tell me yesterday, just asked me not to touch the bag of oysters first, so I hurried out and didn't come back until night. When I went to my hometown yesterday afternoon, my little sister didn't say anything, I didn't know that there were pearls in the oysters."
"It's good, it's a pearl again, and it's sold for money, and you've made a lot of money again." Sister-in-law Ye was very envious.
Second sister-in-law Ye was also envious, "I also got several sacks of goods, these can be eaten for a long time."
"Ahh
At this moment, Ye Yaodong exclaimed in surprise, and they immediately turned their heads.
"Pearl?"
"Is it really out?"
Listening to others tell how there is the truth that you have seen with your own eyes, and it is incredible!
