Chapter 683: Preparations Completed
"Dad, what kind of crockpots are you talking about, what bottles and cans?" Ye Chenghu looked at them curiously.
After Ye Chenghai and the others explained to him in a gossipy manner, he patted his thigh and regretted that he had just missed it, and he didn't know it for the first time.
"I want it too, I want it too, I want to play too, I'll go to my mother and ask for bottles and cans...... Ye Chenghu ran back to the house like a gust of wind.
Ye Chengyang listened to it and half understood and half understood, but his brother ran away, and of course he followed his brother into the house with his legs raised.
In addition to fighting, under normal circumstances, they are inseparable from Meng, Meng is not separated from the good brothers, where is the elder brother? My brother went with him.
It's just that Lin Xiuqing is now busy washing rice and starting to make lunch, so how can he take care of the two brothers, and all of them will be driven out again.
They went to the corner of the door to rummage through the sacks, and the sound of swaying sounded, and the bottles and cans in the sacks were instantly poured all over the ground by them.
Most of them are jars of malt milk essence that they drink, this can be used to hold things, Ah Qing is reluctant to sell them to the tatters, and has been collecting them there, as well as other canned jars, a lot of them.
At this time, not only the two brothers were excited, but the others did not work, and all of them gathered around, wanting to beg for it.
Ye Chenghu was willing to share it, but he refused, "You go back to your own house to find it, it's mine!" I don't have enough for myself, where can I give it to you? Go back and find it yourselves. ”
If they could go back, would they stay here to sell coolies? I've been home a long time ago.
"You can go to your Ama's house to find it, or you can go to your grandmother's house to find it, otherwise it won't be enough."
"Makes sense!"
With Ye Yaodong's support, a group of children were immediately very active, but he also had few people who could help with the work, so he could only continue to peel bamboo shoots by himself, which was a mistake.
A lot of jars at home, Ye Chenghu used them all, and coaxed Yangyang and said: Brother is done, it's good to share a piece and use it, don't do it, just look at it......
Ye Chengyang nodded coaxing him.
Ye Yaodong doesn't poke it either, the two brothers are willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
Ye Chenghu also found a screw, and instructed Ye Chengyang to pick up a big stone outside the door, so that he could feel a little involved, and then knocked there in the afternoon, knocking a hole in the edge of the jar to make it easier to tie the rope.
A group of children next door were also there pouting and banging all afternoon.
There is no way, I just got beaten, and my buttocks are hurting, so I can only pout, but even if it hurts, it can't hinder their enthusiasm.
"Dad, is this how it is strung together?"
"Almost, the string is firm, as long as it is not swept away by the waves."
"That's it!"
Ye Chenghu excitedly fiddled with the fruits of his labor, and dragged it to show off next door, along the way, the bottles and cans rubbed on the ground, making a sonorous sound.
It was also the right time for them to fiddle, and in the afternoon, the tide gradually receded.
A group of children were reluctant to go anywhere, squatting in a whole row at the gate of the courtyard, still holding sharpened long sticks in their hands, of course, they took advantage of Father Ye's idleness to come over and around, pestering Father Ye to sharpen them.
And in front of them were all kinds of bottles and cans, which were connected with ropes.
The other friends were also attracted by their strange behaviors and things, and they all squatted over and asked them curiously.
They didn't say anything with their mouths tight, but that couldn't stop the children's curiosity, and they all squatted together, ready to see what they wanted to do.
As they waited, the tide slowly began to recede at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and they moved excitedly.
Ye Yaodong was afraid that they would run into the water after the tide, so he followed uneasily.
By the way, pick up a bucket to see if there is anything to pick up a little at low tide, it has rained for several days, the water level has risen, it is estimated that the waves outside are also big, pick up some seafood, and add food at night is also good.
"Can you slow down? The tide hasn't receded yet, it's still early. ”
Holding a bucket in one hand and a tongs in the other, he had just caught a crab running sideways, and he looked up to remind the children who were running forward excitedly.
"Got it."
Today's parents are completely free-range to their children, and it is also because they are too busy, in order to make a living, they have a bunch of work to do, and they don't have time to take care of their children.
It's the same with the neighbors on the left and right, as long as it's time to eat, you just need to know that you're back.
Even Ye Yaodong will watch it closely, and the two sisters-in-law are affected by him, and sometimes they will not allow their children to go to the beach to play.
He has seen and heard too many children who drowned because of playing in the water, how many parents regretted it, and those who drowned often knew water, especially boys were naughty, every child was a treasure in the hearts of parents, if something happened, it would be painful.
He would rather watch it more closely, so as not to regret it later, children are small and ignorant, and most of the time they will not be obedient.
Ye Yaodong picked it up as he walked, and the tide didn't recede so fast, so he looked back and forth around the water line, looking at the child by the way.
A few children waited for the tide to go out, and threw whatever they found into his bucket.
"Dad, there are a lot of bubble holes here......"
"Pick it up."
Ye Chenghu complied, stretched out his hand and buckled it, "It's a sand clam ......"
"Forget it, don't dig it, it's a waste of time, I don't know how long it will take to dig this small bubble hole, there are already a lot of big clams in the bucket, you can look around, are there any stranded small fish, shrimp and crabs?"
"Okay, then I'll call my mother and my eldest aunt and second aunt to dig it!"
"Then don't step on these bubbles, otherwise you won't be able to recognize them and won't be able to dig them."
Although the sand clams are better than the big clams, Ye Yaodong has already swelled and can't look down on this small piece of sand clams.
After all, the sand clams were digging too hard, and the big clams only needed to be picked up, and the bucket was already half full after being thrown by a group of people just now.
Fish, shrimp and crabs, octopus, shells, conch, everything in the bucket, except for fish, other nights can be put in the pot, steam a big pot across the water, fragrant~
Amid the excitement of the children screaming to find a crab, a fish, and a conch, the tide receded to the bottom, and it took almost an hour.
The distance between the beach and the house has also been lengthened, and it has been opened for about 200 meters, and the tide can recede to the bottom when the tide recedes on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
"Third uncle, is it the end?"
"Third uncle, can we put down the bottles and cans?"
"Third uncle, can you put it away?"
"Dad, can you let it go? The tide shouldn't go out again, right? ”
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Let go, you find your own position, put it yourself, stick it deeper, and knock the stone for a while." ”
"Okay!"
The children were overjoyed.
Several children from the neighbor's house followed them all the way, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they asked again, but they were only sent back with a sentence, 'You'll know later'.
Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, everyone had a string of bottles and cans, dragging them away, and everyone was enthusiastic and found a piece of land to occupy.
It wasn't far away, and at a glance, they stood in a row, only two or three meters apart, and began to beat and beat the sticks to the bottom of the sand.
The other children squatted and watched, curiously watching them work.
When they had finished beating the sticks and felt that they had firmly hit the sand, they tied the ropes to the pillars one by one, and then carefully placed the crockpots one by one on their sides and set them towards the sea.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"Oh, don't bother, I've told you, I'll know when the time comes, don't ask."
"When is that time?"
"I'll find out when I get back from school tomorrow."
"I'll have to wait until tomorrow, I thought I'd know it right away......"
"Go away, go away, don't get in the way here."
After Ye Chenghai tied up his crockpot, he felt a little empty for a while, after this was completed, he didn't know what to do for a while, the waiting time seemed to be a bit long, and he would not be able to come to the beach to take a look until he came back from school tomorrow.
"Third uncle, let's do this?"
"Well, it just so happens that the tide is ebbing when you come back from school tomorrow, so I'm just here to collect it."
"So what are we going to do now? It's boring. ”
"Taohai, let me go out in all directions to find it, pick up everything for me, steam it in a pot at night, give your family a little bit to go back and add food, I haven't eaten fresh seafood for a few days, right?"
"Okay~"
That's what they love to do, too!
Some eat, others play.
Ye Yaodong also went to the outside of the reef for a walk, and by the way, he stepped on the big stone and looked at the sea, feeling that it seemed that the waves were not big today, and after the rain and the sky was clear, it was rare that the sea was calm and waveless.
I guess I just rested for a few days, and I had to work at sea to make money.
At this time, there are a lot of people on the beach, including adults and children, most of whom are children who run to the beach to play and pick up some stranded seafood.
Where can adults look at this thing? The child is greedy and wants to eat everything.
Some children saw a row of pillars standing here, and there were bottles and cans on the beach, and they all curiously circled around, touching them by the way, but they were driven away by the stingy Ye Chenghai.
There was a group of child laborers, and Ye Yaodong didn't want to work anymore, so he threw the bucket aside and loaded them with things, and he squatted on the reef to dig Haiqing.
I don't know when patches of sea green grew around the rocks, and no one wanted them, so he planned to pull two more handfuls back, cook them twice, or bring them to the cold dress.
If it is cold, the amount is a little more, otherwise it will be condensed.
took them to play on the beach until the sun went down, and Ye Yaodong drove a group of leather monkeys home.
When they saw that the other children were also running home, they were relieved to go back.
A bucket of water, under the labor of so many child laborers, was filled, Ye Yaodong felt heavy in his hand, and it was estimated that he was 20 pounds.
He also waved his hand happily, "When I take it back and wash it, the small fish is picked out and fried, I will treat you, and the other seafood will be steamed in a pot and give your family a share." ”
"Thank you, Third Uncle!"
"Thank you, Uncle San, Uncle San is so good!"
"Great! I'm going to fry the small fish and eat it~"
"Yo Yo Yo ~ We're going to eat fried small fish ~ Crispy fried small fish ~"
Everyone cheered.
A wish made in the afternoon can be fulfilled in the evening, which is great! The third uncle is so good!
The children of the neighbors are envious, except for the Chinese New Year, who can eat fried things?
Third Uncle Ye is so good......
