Chapter 451: Good Price (Two Chapters and One Chapter)
The villagers were envious when they saw that he had only been in the net for a few hours, and he had netted seventy or eighty catties of scallops, no wonder the old king wanted to steal it.
Everyone is a little worried about whether the ones they pull into their arms will be shells, after all, all of his nets are real and alive, so isn't the rest of the shells?
That is, there are too many people, and there are too many shells, so there is no way to pick and choose them one by one there.
Ye Yaodong looked at the heavy fishing net in his hand, and the scallops in it were all crowded and piled in the middle, and he was also very happy in his heart.
He just watched the scallops run into the sea, and felt that it was a pity, so he planned to pull two fishing nets and try it casually.
Anyway, he doesn't know how to do day work, and he can have a little less nets if he doesn't have them, but he didn't expect that he could net seventy or eighty catties when he spread out a fishing net with a diameter of less than 10 meters.
Earned. He grinned happily, and moved closer to Father Ye to close the net to the middle, and his ears were filled with the envious chatters of the villagers.
The net that a few of his friends helped to collect next to him had already been collected first, and they worked together, one of them grabbed a corner and walked towards him.
"Do you put the nets on the cart with the scallops attached? Do you want to pour it out first? Ah Guang asked.
"You don't have to pour it out, just put the fishing net with the scallops on the cart, and then pour it out and sort it out when we push it back." Ye Yaodong spoke, and at the same time stretched his neck to look at the goods in their fishing nets, there were really a lot, which should be similar to those in his net.
He also went into the water to fish out half a sack in front of him, and this morning, to say the least, he also fished more than one bag. Those villagers don't look at the sacks and sacks, there are quite a lot of them, maybe they pick and choose, and the scallops in them may not be as many as his two nets.
It's really not in vain, there are four rows of ground cages on the shore, and you can net a little more.
"You can really do it, Dongzi, everyone is there to scratch the shells desperately, you are better, put the net into the water first and catch it alive."
"That's it, what time did you get up? How many of you live on the beach were the first to be discovered, right? ”
"There shouldn't be a shortage of shells, right?"
"I guess I picked up a lot of fish, right? I've heard that they said that they picked up a lot of big fish on the beach when they came early, and you're right at home. ”
"yes, how many fish did you pick up? What's there? I've heard that someone just picked up a mouse spot. "When they put the nets on the carts, they gathered around and asked questions.
The surrounding villagers were also talking there, and I don't know who said that they caught a lot of fish last night when the typhoon was blowing and the waves were blowing.
Now the villagers asked again.
"Really? I heard that when there was a typhoon last night, a lot of fish were blown to the shore, and how many of your families on the beach ran out to pick them up? ”
"Really? Are you so bold that a typhoon will come out? ”
"I heard that the waves hit all the fish, and the typhoon is blowing there again, and the fish is like dumplings......"
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" The fat man's mouth couldn't close in surprise, and he asked Ye Yaodong again: "Really?" It's the same as dumplings, this nonsense, right? Xiaoxiao touched his chin, looked at the scallops in the bowl and thought,
"Possibly, you see that the waves have rolled up all kinds of shells and pushed them to the sea, and they have piled up a white coastline. What's the point of rolling up the fish in the sea? Ye Yaodong was finishing the fishing net with his father, and then he lifted it to the board cart and replied casually,
"I came out in the morning and started to put the net, everyone is not late, someone came out to see the tide as soon as it was dawn, and then one after another passed ten, ten to hundred, and there were more people." Father Ye also said: "Everyone's bags are not less, let let... Let's let ......"
"So you really came out to pick up fish when there was a typhoon last night? Really got dumplings? ”
"Don't stop the dumplings, I'm almost going to sacrifice the Sea Dragon King."
"Huh?"
"Let me go, there will be no time to elaborate, you go and ask the others", he is busy, how can he have time to stand there and chat,
"You guys are piled up there casually, don't be afraid of being stolen, hurry back and guard it, otherwise you won't have anywhere to find it if someone else secretly moves it away." Some people saw their family members coming with a cart, so they ran over one after another, and some were afraid that things would be stolen by someone in troubled waters, so they also went back to guard, only the people around them were still standing in place.
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the fact that when they turned their heads to look at their goods, he saw that some people had already left, so he pushed the cart directly towards the wide gap, walked to his own home, and greeted his friends.
"Thank you, I'll push it back first, if you want to use a board car, come and push it later."
"I'm just going to borrow it here, I'll go with you." Ah Zheng hurriedly said.
"And who's watching your stuff?"
"My father, my mother went to borrow a board car from my sisters, I don't know when I can borrow it, you can hurry up here."
"Yes, okay." Anyway, he has to sort out and put it up when he takes it back, so that he can sell it. The others didn't ask when they saw that he was busy, only Ah Zheng was about to use the cart, so they followed him back.
The two chatted while walking, and Ye Yaodong also told him about the typhoon last night, and they took the risk to pick up fish, which made Ah Zheng surprised and envious.
"You can really see the opportunity to make a fortune, so what happened to your eldest brother?"
"I was scared to death, so I went home, and he didn't come out after that, so we picked it up there."
"This is danger and opportunity, the higher the risk, the greater the return, fortunately, the typhoon and the big waves did not blow your house away."
"A few handfuls of nonsense, it's all stone houses, how can they be scraped away? It is possible that the roof was torn off. Ye Yaodong pushed the cart to the door of the house, and asked his father to take away the tail baffle, and then lifted the handlebars on both sides to make the cart stand up, and the scallops and fishing nets on it instantly slid to the ground.
"Give it back to me as soon as it's finished, and I'll sell the goods."
"Got it." Ye Mu was also surprised to see the scallops all over the ground,
"You've only been in your nets for a few hours? Since there are so many receipts? "The others also came to take a look and were surprised.
"Quite a lot? These scallops can really run ......" Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but worry,
"If you can run so well, are all the shells we bring back?" Second sister-in-law Ye suddenly frowned and patted her thigh,
"Hey, I'll just say, why did you pick up a bunch of shells in half a bag? If there is meat, a thin layer is placed under the bamboo basket. Mother Ye glanced at the piles of shells piled up on the ground next to her, and the basins and baskets and other containers still contained all kinds of shellfish and clams picked out by children.
It is true that the scallops are only covered with a thin layer under the bamboo basket, and the other basket on one side has more oyster shells than scallops.
"Hey, why do you have so few scallops? My scallops are half and half empty shells, no wonder I heard you keep talking about shells. Ye Yaodong took off his wet pants, only wore a vest and shorts, stepped forward and took a look: "Did you pick up this bag from behind?" Maybe there will be less meat picked up in the back, and the first one will be faster, and the scallops will run less, and a little more. "Listening to this explanation, everyone also thinks that it seems to make sense, those who can run have run away, and the empty shells that can't run are not piled up there?
Second sister-in-law Ye didn't know when the bag she picked out now was drawn, so she could only continue to pick it depressedly.
Ye Mu also comforted: "When you finish picking, it's not in vain anyway, you only picked up so many things in three hours, and these bags can be sold for a lot of money after picking, and you can also earn it." Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but say: "That's it, you picked up so many fish last night, and those baskets can be sold for a lot of money, but we don't have them yet." She was also very sorry and uncomfortable, seeing that everyone picked up so many goods last night, and they only had one bucket at home, and her heart was like a cat scratch, and she almost ran out to pick it up by herself last night.
Second sister-in-law Ye instantly balanced her heart when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face. Everything depends on contrast. Human psychology is like this, I get less, and when I feel sad, I hear you less, then I am comfortable, and I am directly comforted.
"Ah Hua just pushed the fish to the dock, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, and I don't know how much it will be sold for?"
"It's indispensable, I don't even have half a basket at home." The more she talked, the more depressed she became, Sister-in-law Ye simply stopped talking about it, and went back to her pile of shells to continue picking.
As a result, I saw that when the three children took advantage of her to get up and go to Ye Yaodong's cart to see the scallops, they threw the clams they picked out around, you hit me, I smashed you, and they had a lot of fun.
But the clams were thrown all over the ground by them, and one of them hit her chest, and immediately she was angry, and she was already in a bad mood, and the three of them hit the muzzle.
When the three of them found out that they had smashed the old lady, they were so frightened that they immediately stood up.
If there are special effects, you can definitely see the raging fire burning behind Sister-in-law Ye. Looking at their motherly faces, the smiles on their faces instantly turned into fright, the skin on their bodies involuntarily tightened, and their voices trembled.
"Mother......
"Mother......
"Mother... Ye Chenghe threw it...... You beat him......" Ye Chenghai decisively betrayed his younger brother, and then tried to make a detour in the direction of the old lady.
"Ah, big brother, you don't pay attention to righteousness," Ye Chenghe looked at his mother as if she had turned into a fire-breathing dragon, and shivered in fear, and hurriedly shirked her responsibility.
"Mother, you can't blame me, big brother threw it into my ...... first"
"You are talking nonsense......" Sister-in-law Ye was furious, and picked up the bundled bamboo strip that the old lady had just thrown into the corner.
Whoever runs the fastest, she catches whomever she wants. Ye Chenghai saw his mother running towards him and was scared to death,
"It's none of my business! It was Ye Chenghe who smashed it. ”
"I'll be angry with me every day, telling you to do some work without taking it seriously, what's the use of raising you, just beat you to death, there is no worry-free ......"
"Why is it always me who gets beaten......"
"The most disobedient thing is you...... Didn't take the lead well...... Who do you hit if you don't hit? Get the rolls over me......"
"Don't ......" Ye Chenghe was instantly relieved when he saw his mother chasing his eldest brother to fight, while Ye Jingjing shrank his neck and stood silently in the corner, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.
When Ye Chenghai ran to the old lady's side, he found that the old lady was sitting there, he had nowhere to hide, and the old lady had no intention of protecting him, so he hid towards Ye's father.
Father Ye didn't care that his daughter-in-law beat his son, he also beat his son. Ye Chenghai hid beside Ye's father twice, and when he saw that he was about to be caught, he hid behind Ye Yaodong again.
still tugging at his back clothes and pulling them around, he also shouted,
"Third Uncle save me~Save me~" Ye Yaodong didn't care about the farce next to him, he was pouring out the scallops in the fishing net, but there was an extra tail behind him that kept pulling his clothes, affecting his work, annoyed to death, not worrying at all.
He turned around and directly carried Ye Chenghai to Sister-in-law Ye, and then left it alone. Ye Chenghai was caught off guard, and after being shocked, the howl shook the sky,
"Ah...... Third Uncle... Mother... Oh~Oh~I mistakenly believed you, Third Uncle~"
"It's noisy, my sister-in-law will help me fight twice." Ye Chenghai looked at him with tears in his eyes,
"You still call my mother to beat me, it's too much, it's not righteous, I won't go to your house to play again."
"That's right, I'm just in a quiet place, if the tide goes down tomorrow, don't look for me."
"Huh?" Ye Chenghai also thought of the last time his third uncle helped him hide his private money, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore, and silently accepted the baptism of the whip.
The three members of Ye Yaohua's family on the side, seeing Ye Chenghai being beaten, were also very brotherly and gloating there.
But sadness always comes so suddenly, especially Ye Chengjiang, who laughed the happiest, and suddenly, he was slapped in the back of the head.
"Are you doing things there with your eyes closed? If you can't do anything at all, you throw it everywhere, you're embarrassed to laugh at others, and you're the next one to cry. Ye Chengjiang's three brothers and sisters were also honest in an instant.
Ye Yaodong saw that none of the children in this litter were worry-free, and looked at his two again, so compared with these two, it didn't seem to be so bad.
After he poured out the scallops from both nets, he gave them to his father to bag. There is no need to pick the size, anyway, pull it to the outside of the dock, and it will naturally be picked before passing the scale, so as to prevent someone from mixing into the empty shell.
And he sorted out the fishing nets and returned them to the people first. Lin Xiuqing said loudly at this time: "When you returned the fishing net, you took two watermelons by the way, how did you borrow someone else's fishing net, and when you took it, by the way." ”
"I know." At this time, Ye Mu muttered,
"You saved people last night, and I didn't see them come to thank you......"
"What's the hurry? Maybe people can't spare their hands? Didn't you push the door out early in the morning and rush to the beach, you couldn't even eat breakfast, and you didn't even push back all the goods until now. Father Ye also echoed: "That is, one yard is one yard, saving people is saving people, and you have to thank others for using other people's things." ”
"Are you mistaken? The fishing nets are not the ones that fell into the water, where can they be pulled? Sensible people, when they have their hands freed, will naturally come to the door to thank them. ”
"As soon as I said that, you replied to me ten sentences, and I didn't say that I shouldn't." The old lady was about to quarrel when she saw that they didn't say a word, and quickly changed the topic and spoke.
"Dongzi and your father haven't eaten yet, go back to eat first, and then come back to work after eating, your mother and they have just gone back to eat, you guy, how can you stand hungry......" Her eyes looked at Ye Yaodong from beginning to end, and it was obvious that Father Ye was just in passing.
"Got it, get busy here."
"Where is it done in a while, you go eat first......"
"Got it, I'll return the net first, don't do it, Xiao Jiu is still sleeping in the house, you go in and help take a look, she will turn over now, don't let her roll under the bed."
"Hey, well......" The old lady hurriedly put down her work and went to the house. The old man is not afraid of work, but he is afraid that his family will not let her work, making her feel that she is a waste person and has no place to work.
The car was borrowed, and before it could be returned, Ye Yaodong put the sorted net back in the bamboo basket, and then went home and hugged two watermelons and put them in another basket, and walked towards Landa and Zhou's second house with a flat pole.
Several families all sat at their respective doors, everyone gathered there to pick up shells, and after seeing him come to return the fishing nets, several people who fell into the water expressed their gratitude, only saying that they were busy and could not spare time to come to thank them.
After Ye Yaodong was polite, he chatted with them a few more words, satisfied their curiosity, and told them how many catties of scallops were netted in the fishing net before returning to their home.
As for whether they will regret it? Do you have any ideas? Or what's behind it? He doesn't have to guess, anyway, everyone is a good neighbor on the surface.
When he returned to the door of the house after returning the fishing nets, the cart had already returned, and he went into the house with Father Ye to carry the fish non-stop.
Last night, everyone picked and chosen, and left two baskets that were not worth much, and five baskets were picked out for the money that could be sold, especially the big white pomfret with the goldeneye lying on it, which looked particularly eye-catching, white and red, and the taste of money was particularly strong.
"Mother, there are still two baskets of worthless fish, shrimp and crabs at home, you can wait and see if you want to send some to your relatives. There is a little red light in front, and now there is no sun, and I don't know when the sun will come out, and I am afraid of the sun smelling if there is no weather, so you can do it yourself while it is fresh. ”
"I know, I'll pick up a few and send them to your aunts and uncles later, I haven't been out to sea for a few days, and I don't know when the waves will recede, so it's just right to send them two bowls of vegetables." Just as Ye Yaodong finished lifting the fish, shrimp and crabs and was about to lift the scallops again, the old lady came out with porridge, in addition to the mustard, there were two specially fried poached eggs on it, which looked particularly appetizing.
"Tell you to eat early, you haven't eaten for half a day, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, otherwise you won't know when you'll be busy."
"Why did you bring it out...... Ye Yaodong watched the old lady's hand holding the porridge keep shaking there, and hurriedly took it,
"I'm going to eat it...... It's ...... eat" Ye Mu pursed her mouth and muttered,
"It's more than 20 years old, and I'm still chasing after feeding...... Ye Yaodong quickly pulled, took a big bite and ate it, and it bottomed out in three or two clicks.
But the old lady stretched out her hand to touch his belly, muttering,
"If you haven't eaten in the morning, just a bowl of porridge, can you be full? After eating, my stomach is still flat, I'll go in and fill it up for you, eat more......"
"No, no, just pad your stomach, I'm going to have lunch soon, and if I eat now, I won't be able to eat lunch again."
"How old are you to still be hungry? You don't care, don't get in the way, keep busy, when he's still a three-year-old? Father Ye couldn't look at the old lady's caring appearance, and said a few words.
Ye Yaodong stuffed the bowl into the old lady's arms, sent her into the house, and pushed the cart to the outside of the dock.
Along the way, there are also a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs scattered along the way, it seems that a lot of seafood was rolled up outside the dock last night, that is, everyone went to the beach early in the morning to carry shells, and the goods outside do not know who is cheaper, who picked them up?
At this time, there are only some worthless and eye-catching goods left, but the duck that is pecking next to it is cheaper, but today it is a blessing, and you can have a full meal.
The father and son pushed the cart to the outside of the dock, but they couldn't pick up a fish that could catch their eyes, and they were all swept away by the wind and clouds.
There are also a lot of seabirds flying around the shore, and from time to time there are seabirds swooping down and biting small fish on the ground, Ye Yaodong can't help but wonder if the fish that are hit by the waves on the beach will all go into the mouths of these seabirds?
That would be a ruin.
"Dad, Dongzi, you guys also came out." Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also sold out the goods they picked up last night at this time, and pushed the cart to meet them.
Seeing Ye Yaohua's face full of spring breeze, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, presumably the selling price was considerable, and Ye Yaopeng didn't have such a big smile.
"yes, how much do you sell it for? Do you want to sell the goods you picked up yesterday? How much is a pound of scallops, do you ask? Ye Yaohua smiled happily,
"The pile of shells has not been sorted out, and we have not sold scallops, so we sold the fish, shrimp and crabs that we picked up last night. In the case of scallops, it is said that it is 3 cents 7 cents a pound, and 3 cents for a small one. Ye Yaopeng added: "But I heard Ah Cai say that this is the price before the typhoon a few days ago, and last night there was a typhoon, and the scallops were suddenly hit by the waves so much, the amount is so large, the price may fall a lot, and it is said that it is necessary to collect it first and take it to the market to see before the price can be set." ”
"He said that the amount of this scallop is so large, no matter which one receives the goods, the price must be the same, so that everyone can rest assured that the goods will be given to him." Father Ye nodded,
"It's normal, it's normal for the price to drop when it's all of a sudden."
"Let's push it first, we have to pick and choose. While there is no one at the dock now, everyone is still picking at home, no need to queue, and quickly sell it back to continue to work. Ye Yaodong could already imagine how crowded the dock would be in the afternoon.
Ah Cai was also surprised to see that they had sent more than a sack of scallops over early.
"I heard that you put your nets on the beach in the morning, and these are collected from the fishing nets?"
"Yes."
"Young people's brains are good, this is directly one step ahead! People are still picking up shells at home for half a day, and you have already sent them first. Ye Yaodong suddenly had a flash of inspiration,
"I sent it early, can you arrange to send it away early? Take it and sell it early, while there is still less on the market, can the price be higher? "In the afternoon, everyone will send all of them over, the amount is so large, the price will definitely drop at that time.
Ah Cai smiled obscenely, and pointed at him twice with his index finger,
"My brain is spinning pretty fast."
"That's right?"
"Well, just now other people also sent a lot of fish goods, all of them live by your beach, you really braved the typhoon yesterday to go out to pick up fish, you are also bold, you deserve to be rich. There are just enough goods, you can send them away by a tractor, and you can sell them at a good price while there is little seafood on typhoon days. Ye Yaodong was also happy after receiving an affirmative answer.
The scallops that are caught alive in the sea are really wise, one step ahead, and this more than 100 catties of goods can be sold at a good price.
