Chapter 308: Digging for Shellfish at the Bottom of the Boat

Just after about ten days of confinement, Lin's father and mother also brought small clothes prepared in advance, chickens, eggs, longevity noodles, red dates and longan and other foods for pregnant women to visit.

It's not the first one, and they're not in such a hurry, finishing their work at home and getting their things ready before coming over.

Mother Lin hugged the child with a smile, "Fortunately, you are the third one, you were born quickly, just be safe." I thought Ah Dong would send you back after the year."

"He's thinking about the beginning of spring, our house is going to start picking tea again, it's too busy, so don't trouble you, and our location is in a remote location, just by the beach, it's convenient to get on the boat if there is any movement, you can go to the town or where to stay for a day or two and then come back."

Father Lin also nodded, "Yes, we were on the mountain all month last month, we went up the mountain before dawn at four o'clock in the morning, and came back in the evening, and no one could take care of you when you went."

"Don't talk about that, just give birth."

"What's my cousin's name? She has so much meat on her face, it's going to hang down......" The eldest nephew, Lin Guangyuan, also came over to play today, and also stretched his neck to watch there.

Mother Lin glared at him in disgust, "You can't say that."

"It's called Ye Xiaoxi." Ye Chenghu shouted on the side.

"It's called Xiao Jiu!" Not to be outdone, Ye Chengyang shouted.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "The fortune teller said that she didn't lack anything, and the name was taken casually, so Ah Dong said that several of their small names had water, so they were called Xiaoxi." There happened to be a family of three, and she was the ninth among their cousins, and the younger ones called her Xiao Jiu."

Nine sisters, nine sisters, beautiful sisters......

When Ye Yaodong heard a few naughty boys call her ninth sister two days ago, he couldn't help but think of the melody of this song in his mind, and he thought it was very good......

Nicknames are called.

"Then who will take care of you now that you are born? Your mother-in-law doesn't live with you again."

"She is here during the day to take care of washing, washing, boiling and cooking, and she only goes back when it gets dark at night, and Ah Dong gets up and works at night."

Mother Lin was surprised for a moment, and then the smile in her eyes couldn't be stopped, "Adong's diapers changed? Hehe, he's getting better and better, he's worked hard, and he has to get up several times at night."

Father Lin: "Didn't he go to sea at night?"

"No, now he is going to pull the cage once every other day during the day, get some fish and shrimp and come back to feed me, I said I can change the diaper by myself, he has to refuse."

When Lin Xiuqing talked about this, her face was full of happiness, she didn't expect him to be able to do it to this extent.

Although every time he changes diapers, he is disgusted to death, but as long as Xiao Jiu cries, he will get up and touch her for the first time to touch whether she is peeing or hungry.

When he gave birth to two sons, he was never so concerned.

"It's a good time for you to live, and you have seafood to eat."

Looking at her daughter's white and tender face, Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said, "Yes, there is fish soup every day now, which is much better than when he gave birth to his two elder brothers."

Ye Yaodong accompanied him in the house, and after listening to them talk for a while, he went out.

A group of children meet at the door to go to the beach to dig clams and collect crabs.

He also looked up at the beach, and when he was sure that the tide had receded, he went to the village to call for help.

….

His boat had been soaked in the sea for a long time, and there were a bunch of juvenile shells and barnacles growing under the boat.

In the vast sea, there is no shortage of microorganisms and hermitish animals.

In particular, a creature called barnacles can attach to natural reefs, dock dams, ship buoys, sea water pipes, and other living creatures such as blue whales and sea turtles.

Boats that have been on the sea for a long time, regardless of size, will have their bottom overgrown with barnacles, juvenile shells, and cabbage, and the longer they are not cleaned, the larger they will become.

They all increase the ship's draft and increase the ship's resistance, while the ship's speed slows down and the ship's fuel consumption increases. Therefore, every ship needs to be cleaned regularly.

When he came back from the cage in the morning, he docked the boat on the beach, and when the tide receded, it would run aground on the beach

It just so happened that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were here today, and he scraped the bottom of the boat so that he could get some fresh oysters and vegetables for them to bring back.

He called a group of young men who knew him well, and a few cousins, and took a few bundles of rope to the beach, and they had to turn the boat on its side first.

A group of small people were excitedly picking up stranded seafood on the beach, and they saw Ye Yaodong bring a group of people over, and they all surrounded them.

"Third uncle, why are you here? Are you going to the sea too?"

"Third uncle, you see, we caught several crabs, and we also picked up a lot of snails and clams......

"I still have a fish here......

"I have sea urchins and starfish here......

A group of children were carrying their little baskets as if they were offering treasures to show him.

Ye Yaodong smiled and reassured, "Okay, okay, you guys go pick it up again, and I'll call you for help later."

"What are you going to do, Third Uncle?"

"We're going to turn the boat sideways, clean the bottom of the boat, and we'll call you to help pick it up."

"Okay, good~"

Some play, where should they not be?

All of them followed them in the direction of the ship, and they didn't run anywhere.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, go and wait."

After Ye Yaodong sent a few children aside, he climbed onto the boat and tied up the ropes, and in the excited shouts of the children, the boat was also erected by a group of young adults.

"Ahhh

"And barnacles......

"That's a lot! Wow~"

As soon as they saw that the boat was erected, they couldn't wait to run over excitedly, and they were about to drill under the boat on the spot, Ye Yaodong immediately stopped them.

"Let's all go aside, when I didn't say you could get close, none of you can get close, otherwise you'll be crushed into pulp later, are you afraid?"

Immediately they scattered again.

After being reborn, he was a little more patient with these children, and he would think about taking them to play with anything.

When the boat stood steadily, he thanked the group of people, and when they were gone, he took out the sack from his pocket and shook it, and then greeted the children excitedly.

"Come on, come on, I'll shovel, and you'll help pick it up in the sack later."

"Okay, okay......"

Under the bottom of the boat there were piles of shells, everything, large and small cabbage growing in patches, and green, but not as delicious as black and purple.

….

There are barnacles that look like small craters, juvenile shells with oysters growing inside, and useless shells.

The underside of his ship was not painted red, and the shells that were cut down were edible.

The bottom of the ship is usually painted with a special red lacquer. This lacquer drives away or kills creatures that cling to the bottom of the ship.

In order to prevent these shells and insects from attaching to the bottom of the ship, and in order to reduce the corrosion of the hull by seawater, paint containing toxic substances, such as copper oxide, *** and iron oxide, is applied to the hull under the waterline.

These toxic substances mixed with the paint are all red, so the bottom of the ship is red.

Seafood adsorbs on this layer of paint and is generally inedible when it is knocked down.

His kind of boat is not painted with this kind of paint.

Ye Yaodong held a big shovel in his hand, looked at a small piece of densely growing vegetables, scraped it hard at the bottom of the boat, and instantly dropped a large string of vegetables connected together.

The small door on the side rushed up, "I'm coming... I'll ......."

"Third uncle, you shovel a little more......

"Okay, you guys back first, I'll shovel a little more, and you pick it up slowly, otherwise it will hit you."

The bunch were all around, and he couldn't do it well, and he would hit them in the head if he shoveled it down.

"Hurry up, then

。」

"Got it, verbose......

These vegetables are not big, but the green ones are relatively large, they are all called vegetables, and they are called mussels on the market, and a shovel is hard and a piece drops.

He shoveled it piece by piece, and the brush on the beach fell into a pile, and his hands were a little sore, so he stopped and beckoned a few children to pick it up first.

He took out two more sacks from his pocket and shook them, the bottom of the boat was densely packed, how could one be enough?

"Be careful, don't cut your hands, these shells are very sharp at the edges."

"Don't worry......"

"Auntie, you guys are so fun here, there are so many things to pick up on the beach......

"Fun, right? I asked you to come to play with us a long time ago, who told you not to come all the time?"

"They didn't take me, they said they were going to go the long way......

"Huh? Why don't you take a tractor when you walk, even though the tractor is not easy to sit on at all......

Ye Chenghu began to talk about how the tractor was bumpy...... Why is it so bad to sit...... He also said that his nostrils were full of dust......

Hearing this, Ye Chenghai wanted to hammer him a few times, "You can pull it down, others can't sit if they want to, they can only rely on two legs, and I haven't sat yet......

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, change the source, .huanyuan install the latest version.] 】

Ye Yaodong said as he picked it up, "If you think it's fun, stay and stay for a few days, eat and sleep with your two cousins, and let them take you to play at the beach for a few days."

Those by the sea think the mountains are fun, but the mountains think the seaside is fun!

"Okay, okay...... Then sister-in-law, can you help me...... Ah, there are bugs...... A lot of bugs...... Are there earthworms on the beach?"

Ye Yaodong looked up and saw that there were several more insects on the beach in front of him, wriggling there like intestines.

"It's a sandworm! It's not an earthworm, where does the earthworm come from on the beach?"

Others also noticed that there were suddenly a lot of dense sandworms on the beach around them.

"It's the same as the earthworm, like."

"That's a lot......

"There are also ...... over there."

"There's ...... there."

"Ahh......hh It's disgusting......" Several female babies looked at the dense sandworms, and they all screamed disgusting.

"Cut, disgusting, haven't you played earthworm? Hurry up, catch it......" Ye Chenghai shouted excitedly.

The other boys were also excited, where would they feel disgusted and scared and dare not catch them, they didn't catch bugs to play.

Ye Yaodong also shook the sack excitedly, "Take this!"

Fortunately, he was thoughtful and brought a few extra sacks.

A glass of iced lemonade
