Chapter 334: Seagull
A group of children have been surrounding the edge of the stove, Mother Ye can't get away, and some still want to help light the fire, but she scolded a few words before she went to scratch her ears and cheeks and stretched her neck to wait there.
Lin Guangyuan asked curiously, "Are seabird eggs delicious?"
"It should be delicious, right? The eggs are delicious, and the seabird eggs are certainly delicious."
"Haven't you eaten?"
"Where are we going to eat?"
"Aren't you from the seaside? Haven't the seashore eaten seabird eggs?"
"Who said that people on the seashore must have eaten seabird eggs?"
They were talking about it.
Father Ye smiled and said, "Seabird eggs are delicious, seabirds are different from birds in the forest, seabirds often lay eggs on the ground or on rocks, just try your luck, and it is easier to pick up on the island."
Lin Guangyuan suddenly realized, "I said how I picked up seabird eggs on the ground at that time, and I picked them up one by one, sometimes there were more than a dozen of them when I found them, and then there were them not far away, all on the ground."
"Normal."
"Okay, okay, it's time to get out of the pot, you guys stand aside, I'm going to lift the lid of the pot, don't get in the way here."
As soon as they heard Ye Mu say this, they immediately stood to the side, and they screamed excitedly, finally getting better.
Ye Mu took a small basket and scooped all the seabird eggs into the basket to drip water, and then poured them into a large bowl and brought them to the table.
"Be careful of the heat, wait until it gets a little cooler before eating......
"I want a big one!"
"I want to be big, too!"
"I want it too, I want it too, I want it to be big......
Ye Mu's head widened when she heard it, "It's all the same."
Seabirds come in all sizes, and their eggs range from large and small to as large as goose eggs and as small as quail eggs.
She deliberately picked it when she just got out of the pot, otherwise, she would have to quarrel again when it was unfair after a while, and every time she shared food, there would always be a few unfair points and she would cry.
If there are more children, that's it, a large list of grandchildren~
A few children are not too hot, as soon as the bowl is brought to the table, they all rush up, one person takes one, and then the hot has been changed from left hand to right hand, right hand to left hand, and mouth is there to keep blowing.
"I told you that it was hot, and it will be too late to eat it later?"
"No hot, no hot......"
"Give it all to me, I'll take it in cold water and soak it......
"No need to ......"
One by one, they have been knocked on the edge of the stove, and some have been knocked on other people's heads......
Then he peeled off the shell there, looking at the white egg white, he couldn't wait to peel off the rest of the shell, so he bit it and rolled it twice in his mouth before swallowing it.
Ye Yaodong put down the bowl quickly after eating, looked at their anxious appearance, and couldn't help but say, "What's the hurry? Anyway, it's all for you to eat, and it's too late to wait for it to cool down? I swallowed it without chewing it twice, do you know what it tastes like?"
[In view of the general environment, a group of people are a little confused, as if they haven't tasted it?
Ye Yaodong shook his head, regardless of them, he went directly into the house to take a look at the mother and daughter, he was dirty, and he didn't dare to touch them, he just stood by and watched Lehe for a while before going out with his clothes again, ready to take a shower. ….
As soon as I went out, I heard them screaming again.
"This egg yolk is so big!"
"Mine too!"
"Huh? I've bitten!"
The others who haven't bitten the egg yolk yet, they all quickly ate the egg white, leaving an egg yolk to roll in the palm of their hands.
"Mine is bigger!"
"I'm older than you!"
"I'm the biggest!"
Seabird eggs also tend to be larger than woodbird eggs, and the yolk percentage tends to be higher, perhaps because of their larger size, whether it's an albatross or a great egret, a sea duck, or a gannet.
Of course, there are also many small ones, such as seagulls, petrels and some wading birds.
Ye Yaodong listened to the black lines all over his head, what did he say?
He frowned, glanced at the children, then shook the towel over his shoulders and headed for the back door.
By the way, I took a look at the sky, the starry sky was exceptionally bright at night, and the stars were dotted, and I knew that tomorrow would be a good day again.
Although the ship was hit today, he was not in any condition until he drove back, and he was going to go to sea as usual, and if he asked someone to come to the door to check, it would be delayed tomorrow.
The flood season is only a few days, and it rains and winds from time to time to delay, and there are only a limited few days to fish, and he is reluctant to stop now, and the loss of one day is great. Anyway, little Ah Zheng's boat is working near him.
When I was having dinner just now, Lin's father and Lin's mother also said that if it didn't rain or wind at night, I would go with him again, and I would go back the day after tomorrow.
After all, this opportunity to make money is quite rare, and it is really a lot to earn more than 30 a day.
Ye Yaodong has no opinion, this is also a incidental matter, he doesn't mind helping his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that they can make some money, which is also picked up by their own labor.
It's just that when he was taking a shower, Ye Chenghai sneaked over.
"Third uncle, can you bring me with you tonight? No school tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his hands with a towel and paused, then looked over, "Go tell your father and let him take you."
Ye Chenghai hesitated and said, "Then can he agree to take me?"
"Why not? You just say that if you experience how hard it is to be a fisherman, you will cherish your studies in the future. Anyway, I won't go to school tomorrow, so I can work more and pick up a little more. And just stay on the island and don't run around, you're not a child anymore, how can you take advantage of your free time to help the family do a little work, earn some money to supplement the family, that's all."
Ye Chenghai was stunned for a moment, and then blinked his eyes.
"Third uncle, what you said makes so much sense! I didn't think of trying to convince me like that."
"Because you're a clever fool!"
"Huh?"
What is this adjective?
"Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Oh yes, yes!" He hurriedly ran away, and his father and mother had just come back for a while, and they were still at the door.
But as soon as he took two steps up his foot, he turned back again.
"Third uncle, you say it again, what do you say?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and repeated it to him.
Ye Chenghai also recited the words again, and then said happily, "I remember!"
Then the girl ran away.
Ye Yaodong shook his head and continued to take a bath, he didn't see him remember the endorsement so quickly, everyone thought it was fun to go to sea. ….
When he was almost washed and rushed the remaining basin of water to his feet, Ye Chenghai blew over like another gust of wind, and shouted excitedly while running: "Third uncle, third uncle, it's done, you're too powerful!"
"Cut~"
Glancing at him, Ye Yaodong continued to rub his two feet against each other, and rushed straight to the point.
"And how are you going to thank me?"
"And thanks? Then I will share half of the seabird eggs I will pick up tomorrow, and ask Ye Chengjiang to share half of you. The second aunt said to let him go with him, and he was so happy that his mouth couldn't close with a smile."
"Oh, so you're not going to pick up squid, you're going to pick up seabird eggs!"
"Hey, hey, pick it all."
"Okay, then one person will draw half of the seabird eggs for me as a capitation fee!" As he spoke, he took the basin and towel and walked inside.
Lin Guangyuan was a little speechless when he heard this, "Uncle, you are such a woman, and you will have to pay for a head."
"Of course, don't send it to the door in vain, don't forget to pay tomorrow's boat fare, pick up a little more, and reward you a few when the time comes."
"Hmph~"
Leaf peeling!
Lin Guangyuan rolled his eyes, took his basin, and planned to take a shower, for a few days, he wore Ye Chenghai's clothes, although the sleeves and trousers were a little shorter, but the weather was warm, and it was not a big problem.
Wait a minute
At night, they went to sea as usual, but the spirits of Lin's father, Lin's mother and Lin Guangyuan were obviously not as good as yesterday.
"Cheer up, it's only been two days!"
"Auntie, you're so hard."
"Isn't it, I'll pick up some more seabird eggs later."
Lin Guangyuan pursed his lips, forget it, when he didn't say it.
There is no longer a long-sighted person who goes to sea today, and it has been smooth and smooth, and Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao and they are distributed on both sides of the island to operate separately without interfering with each other.
It was only in the middle of the afternoon when the wind rose, and the waves were strong, and they carried the work for a while, but then found that it was really not good, the boat shook badly, and the waves hit their faces when the net was closed.
Ah Zheng and the little boat also came over, and told them that they couldn't continue to do it, and everyone could only regret to end the work early.
Father Lin and Mother Lin don't affect it, and there are many squid that come in in the big waves, and they have picked up more than yesterday, and the shells are one more sack than yesterday, there are 3 bags, and the happy Mother Lin's mouth can't be closed, and this is already full of harvest before the evening.
The joy of catching the sea is full of harvest.
"That's right, my mother still pries more today than yesterday."
Mother Lin smiled so much that the tails of her eyes were folded, and she was very happy, "I have experience today, I can pry a little faster, and I also went to dig in advance, there are really too many of these seabirds, it's too annoying."
Father Lin also straightened up and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go to catch squid?" Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
"The wind is up, the waves are getting stronger, I can't work anymore, I have to go back."
"Huh? So fast?" Lin Mu looked up at the waves on the sea, "It seems to be quite big."
Father Lin also felt that the waves were a bit big just now, but he was not from the seaside, so he didn't understand this, and now he felt a pity that he knew that he had to go back early, but safety first
"Then go back early, and carry all these goods onto the ship first." After speaking, he shouted Lin Guangyuan at the top of the mountain. ….
Lin Guangyuan's voice also came from the forest as if it were nothing.
He and Father Lin first carried a few bags of shellfish full of shellfish next to them onto the boat first, and waited for Lin Guangyuan by the way.
After carrying a few full bags, his shoulders were also red, and Lin Mu pointed to the bag in the corner, "There are still ...... there."
"I'm here, I'm here......" Lin Guangyuan's excited voice came from afar.
They turned their heads to look, only to see Lin Guangyuan running out of the forest, walking onto the reef, and throwing a bunch of white animals down from above?
White animals?
Ye Yaodong fixed his eyes, isn't this a seabird?
Egret? Gannets? Seagull?
"! Where did you get so many seabirds?"
Lin Guangyuan carefully climbed down from the reef, and handed the bucket to Ye Yaodong, asking him to help continue, and then jumped into it.
"Because I have a secret weapon!"
He smiled and showed his 12 white teeth, then pulled out the slingshot in his pocket.
"Look! I'm here prepared today!"
Mother Lin also said happily, "I have caught so many more."
"Again?"
"There are a few in that sack next to you, too."
Ye Yaodong opened the sack in his hand just now, and just now he thought it was also a squid.
When he opened it, he found that there were really a few seabirds inside, all of which were quite large, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised.
"It's a good head."
Lin Guangyuan said a little proudly: "Of course, I will have a shot, every shot, the sparrow is so small, I can fight, not to mention these seabirds."
"Yesterday, I thought they were annoying, I couldn't get rid of them, I drove them away and flew back, I borrowed a slingshot from Ah He last night, and by the way, Ah Hai and Ah Jiang also brought the slingshot."
"Look, I'm going to pick big fights, these must be meaty!"
"Auntie, is seabird meat delicious?"
He swallowed, "I haven't even eaten seabirds!"
Ye Yaodong bounced
Tapping his forehead, "Seagulls can't fight."
Otherwise, the egret will only be listed as a protected animal in 89 years, and other seabirds will be listed as protected animals at about the same time.
"Why? Do I have seagulls in here? I don't even know each other!"
"There's one, and there's an egret, and the others are gannets, which are clumsy on land."
"Yes, yes, there are a few that look stupid, why can't the seagulls catch them?"
"Let's go back to the boat, it's windy, and the waves are a little strong, so hurry back first."
As he spoke, he picked up a bunch of seabirds and put them in a sack, and it was strangely heavy, and the feathers were all dirty, one black and one white, all dirt, and he could still drag them back.
Lin Guangyuan followed him, and said regretfully as he walked: "It's a pity that I can't drag it, otherwise I can fight a few more, and after I found that I can't drag it, I will go to dig the seabird's nest." These were actually just incidental, and when I saw them fly from the sea into the woods, I took them down."
"Get on board first."
Ye's father helped pick up the goods on the ship.
After everything was loaded onto the boat, they walked back, and little Ah Zheng and their boat were also waiting by the side, and they returned together.
Ye Yaodong rubbed his shoulders and said to Mother Lin, "I happened to return early today, go back and pour out the goods and pick them out, see if there is anything valuable, and I can sell them for some money." ….
"Aren't these shells worth much?"
"There are also some valuable ones, such as goose barnacles, but I don't think so, we haven't seen them on this island before, but the bigger snails can still be sold for money."
Lin Mu nodded with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't said why seagulls can't fight?" Lin Guangyuan asked again as soon as he got on the boat.
"Seagull Seagull, my friend, Seagull ~ Our good friend ~ "
"Didn't your teacher teach you to sing this song?"
Lin Guangyuan blinked, "I seem to have heard of it."
"Uh-huh~" Ye Yaodong cleared his throat, "Let me teach you a lesson today." In addition to eating fish, shrimp, crabs, and shells, seagulls also like to pick up leftovers discarded by people on board, so they are also called harbor cleaners."
"Seagulls are also forecasters of maritime safety. When sailing at sea, it is common for ships to run aground, run aground, or shipwreck due to sudden changes in weather due to unfamiliar water conditions. Experienced fishermen know that seagulls often land around shoals, rocks or reefs, and the sound of a swarm is a signal to people to be wary of hitting a reef."
"Oh! Is that so?" Lin Guangyuan seemed to understand something.
Father Lin and Mother Lin on the side understood.
"Also, it has the habit of flying in and out of the harbor, and when the voyage is lost or the fog is thick, you can find the harbor by observing the direction of the seagulls."
"Okay, which one is that? You pull it out and let me see what it looks like? I think they're all about the same?"
"What? Bird-like! What else could it be?"
Ye Yaodong said and took out the half-dead seagull that was seriously injured and dragged out of the bag, "This is the seagull."
"If they fly close to the sea, then the weather will be sunny in the future, and if they wander back along the seashore, then the weather will gradually deteriorate."
"If the seagulls leave the water, fly high and fly in flocks from far away from the sea to the sea, or if flocks of seagulls gather on the beach or in the crevices of the rocks, it is a sign that a storm is coming."
Seagulls can foresee storms because their bones are hollow tubular and filled with air without marrow.
Not only is it easy to fly, but it's also much like a barometer, which can predict weather changes in time.
In addition, the hollow feathers on the seagull's wings are also like small barometers, which can sensitively sense changes in air pressure.
Lin Guangyuan scratched his head, "What do I think, they all look similar?"
"You're blind!"
"Hmph, I'm not from the seaside!"
