Chapter 333: Raise a Few Chickens and Ducks
Several people happily carried the goods onto the boat, and Ye Yaodong piled the goods dug up and picked up by his father-in-law and mother-in-law into a corner alone.
"You can take these things back with you yourself, or sell them for what you want, see for yourself."
"These shells, let's take them back, you can take them and sell them together, it's all your own family'......" Father Lin said with a smile.
"No, we've caught so many baskets, yours will keep it yourself, that bag should be more than 100 catties, and it can be sold for 30 yuan, a lot."
Mother Lin laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close it, "So much? I can earn so much in just one day."
"It's not possible to go to sea every day, from the beginning of the year to the present, we have counted dozens of fingers on the sea, and this also depends on luck."
Ye Yaodong started the boat as he spoke, but he felt that the tide was a little shallow, he used a long bamboo pole against the reef on the shore, stretched it out a little, and then drove the boat to the other side of the island, preparing to call Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao and go back together.
I don't know how many squid they caught in the middle of the afternoon? By this time, they hadn't come to them yet, and they were still working.
As soon as he had sailed the ship from the shore, they had come in a boat.
"Can you afford it? I thought I had to go over and call you, so you would be willing to go back."
When the two boats approached, Xiao Xiao stretched out his head to look at their harvest and asked, "Isn't it the afternoon that you have been delayed for some time, thinking about casting two more nets, how many have you caught?"
"I picked up two baskets in the early morning, divided one and a half baskets, and caught 6 baskets by myself, and I lost a lot of money, and I was caught several nets less by the three delays of the father and son, otherwise I could have a few more baskets."
Ah Zheng also said, "Isn't it? We didn't dare to rest all afternoon, we all thought about hurrying up and catching a few more nets, because our arms were so sore that we couldn't lift them, and we were exhausted."
"Fortunately, there is compensation, let's go back first, it's too late, let's talk about it when we go back."
"Yes, go back first, go back first......
The two boats moved forward at the same time, and from time to time they went one after the other.
There are also many fishing boats greedy for catching more nets, and when they are about to dock, the sky around them has already darkened, and many boats on the sea have just returned, all with headlights.
Father Lin and Mother Lin's bag of squid didn't stay, they all took it and sold it, where were they willing to carry it back to eat? That's a few dozen dollars.
After the family finished selling the goods, they all went home happily, and the original exhaustion disappeared without a trace after the sale of the goods and the money.
Mother Ye waited at home, and when she saw them coming back in the stars and moons, she greeted them.
"How's it going to be today? How many loads did you collect? Are your in-laws okay?"
"The harvest is very good, we have picked up more than a sack of squid on the island, and we can sell it for more than 35 yuan if the price is reduced, but this sea is really tiring, go out in the dark, and come back in the dark."
"That's right, it's not bad to be able to sell for more than 30 yuan, in the past, people would sell for thirty or forty or forty yuan a day, you should hurry up and wash your hands, eat first, and talk while eating."
"Hey, okay..."
Mother Ye saw Ye Yaodong carrying two more sacks of goods from the cart, went over to take a look at it, and said in surprise, "Do you still have time to dig this?"
ā¦.
"My mother-in-law dug it by the way, and Ah Yuan also went to the mountains to pick up a bucket of seabird eggs, you take it in and cook a few ...... for nothing."
"Huh? Ah Yuan, I also picked up seabird eggs!"
"Wow, and seabird eggs!"
"Show me, show me......
"How many did you pick up?"
"That's a lot!"
"Ahh
Before Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the group of children who were talking around Lin Guangyuan next to him rushed over excitedly, wanting to see the seabird eggs, and they were all very envious.
"Third uncle, when are you going to take us there?"
"Yes, Dad, we want to dig out the seabirds' nests too......
"Yes, yes, third uncle......
"Go, go, don't get in the way here, I'm tired, I'm going to eat." Ye Yaodong looked at the children in front of him, and his head was big.
"Third uncle, you can't be partial......
"Eccentric your head, eccentric, why don't you ask your father to take you? Go and argue with me again, and you won't have your share in boiling seabird eggs later."
"It's not an egg you picked up!" Ye Chenghu shouted.
The others nodded, small eyes peeking at him.
Ye Yaodong knocked Ye Chenghu on the head, "Why didn't I pick it up?" Lin Guangyuan took my boat, and I didn't even confiscate his fare, and this bucket of eggs is just right to honor my sister-in-law and uncle."
Lin Guangyuan rolled his eyes, "Then you take me there at night, and I'll pick up some more."
"Aren't you tired?"
"I'm not tired, I'm a dragon when I wake up!"
Ye Mu smiled: "Go eat first, don't make any noise with you, I'll cook a seabird egg for each of you."
"Okay, yes~"
Everyone cheered.
When Ye Yaodong was about to enter the house, he saw a small nest in the corner of the door with a few fluffy chicks in it, and he was a little surprised, "When did it hatch?"
No wonder when I first came back, I saw a group of children gathered there, and thought they were playing something new.
"It hatched a few days ago, and your grandma took care of it at home, and let the hens take care of it for a few days, and then I thought about bringing the hens and chicks directly to raise them. Just 15 of them hatched out, and your family of five will tie a mark on the chick's feet tomorrow and put a piece of it to raise. I sent your aunt 10 eggs, and hatched 7 of them, and I kept them for myself."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Is there anyone who can catch ducks?" You can help me catch a few more ducks, right on the beach, and it's easy to graze."
There are a few chickens and ducks in front of the house and behind the house, which is also good, and it is better to pickle the sea duck eggs at that time, and the oily egg yolk is salty and fragrant, and it is better with porridge.
Just think about it, he thinks it's beautiful, and he can kill one whenever he wants to eat it!
"Then I'll have to ask."
When Mother Lin heard this, she interjected: "I want to raise ducks, the ducks at home are about to hatch, and it will be 20 days, I will send you a few when the time comes."
"That's too much trouble, far away, let's ask in the village first."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After they all went inside to eat, a group of children began to gather around the corner to watch the chicks, and from time to time they touched them with their hands.
As soon as Ye Mu put the seabird eggs in the pot, she went to the door and shouted, "Don't catch it, don't pinch it to death, and don't touch it, if you touch the straw bag, it won't grow big."
Seeing that none of them had long ears, Ye Mu drove them all away, "You all go to play one by one, don't get in the way here, the chicks and hens are going back to the cage."
If you touch it again, you're going to have to die.
"Are the seabird eggs healed?"
"What's the hurry, I'm either thinking about playing or eating all day long!"
"What if it doesn't?"
"Did you do your homework?"
In an instant, the group fell silent.
"You said that you are one by one, you have been back for so long, and you haven't done your homework, just playing there, it's getting dark, and your mother has been going to sea recently, so you have no one to take care of it, and you don't do your homework......
Ye Mu started a new round of chattering.
Several children were not afraid of her, they were thick-skinned, and they began to giggle again.
Anyway, Grandma doesn't hit people.
Mother Lin also smiled: "Several grandchildren in our family are also like this, they are either worried about eating or playing all day long, asking them to go up the mountain to pick a fruit and run more actively than anyone else, and they will disappear when they are told to work."
Father Lin also said: "Children are playful, normal, where can we expect them to take the university entrance examination and know a few words, just don't be like us and don't know a few big words."
"That'sā"
