Chapter 978: Chinese New Year (7000 words)
"Have you weighed how many pounds in the morning?"
Ye Yaodong only remembered as he walked, after he got home last night, he asked people to rest first, and he didn't weigh it, he only explained to his father when he was drinking, and he didn't know if his father weighed it this morning.
"Weighed, before they worked, let a few boys help weigh it, a total of 3,392 pounds, and the estimate on the boat at that time was not wrong at all."
"Those miscellaneous fish, shrimps, crabs and the like add up to about 800 catties, and they are all weighed separately. You don't plan to sell it anyway, I'll let them kill what should be killed, what should be dried, and let them help pickle it to make drunk crabs, and it's almost the New Year, and when the time comes, I will give a little to my relatives and friends. ”
Although people now dislike crab shells and don't like to eat, but pickled well, no one will dislike the white things, and people at the seaside also love to drink, and they will drink two glasses when they are idle, and it is also a good choice to use them as snacks.
"Yes, take the jar if you pickle it, it's cold now, and it won't be bad if you eat it for a few days."
"Take the jar, how many catties can the jar of malt milk essence hold? Marinate it and put it in a large vat, and it is convenient to take a big spoon to grab a bowl when you want to eat. ”
"Oh, let's go to the workshop first."
The craftsmanship of the old aunts, he still believes, the basic craftsmanship of middle-aged women in these years is not bad, they are very capable, and they can do anything.
Lin Xiuqing said with some uneasiness in his heart: "Those people don't know if they will blame us for bad their good deeds, although it is said to be a village, but they know people and faces, and some people are very hearted, our workshop is also more guarded against there, so that people can watch more closely." ”
"There are people watching in our workshop day and night, 24-hour shifts, there will be no problem, I will beat those boys again later, so that they don't sleep to death at night, they are all vigilant, and there are dogs here, it's not a big problem." During the day, people come and go. ”
"These dogs also have to be optimistic, but don't be trapped again, Xiaohua has been tricked once before, but fortunately it was found in time."
"They don't eat indiscriminately."
"Anyway, look at it more, those Wang families are a little festive."
"Hmm."
It's all from the same village, even if there is a festival, Ye Yaodong feels that it will not kill people, and it is not a deep hatred, at most, it should be a big problem.
However, there may be unwillingness to damage the goods, which also has to be prevented, and it is more important to look at the point to avoid unnecessary losses.
The dog's words may be really dangerous, and I just heard that he was going to take away all his dogs.
Ye Yaodong looked at the dogs gathered around them and trotting away, "Buy some stew with ribs and ribs tomorrow, and by the way, add food to these dogs, eat more good things and won't be tempted." ”
"I'll take a look tomorrow."
After raising them for so long, of course, their whole family has feelings for these dogs.
"The next time they are in heat again, don't kick them away, it's okay to have two more litters, and it's just right to keep them in two workshops to watch the door when the time comes."
"I'm also worried that I'll give birth to too much, four of them are all females, if they all give birth to dozens of cubs, how can I raise them?"
"A lot of people want one or two, and not a lot of them."
"Then keep an eye out for it next year."
The old aunts in the workshop are busy cleaning the tubes there.
The small tube of more than 3,000 catties was not cleaned so quickly, and half a morning had passed, and dozens of baskets were still piled up in the open space that had not yet been dried, and those fish, shrimp and crabs had not been processed.
"You don't need to cut it open and take out your belly, it's very easy to dry it all in this way, just wash it and fish it out and throw it on the net."
As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the old aunts on the side chimed in.
"yes, it's a lot easier, and you can dry it all by noon."
"But the whole sun is definitely not spread out to dry, it dries quickly, and it should be dried for one more day."
"It's okay, how to save trouble."
Anyway, if you dry it out for money, if you dry it with a whole belly, it will be more weighty and more commensurate. (Rape)
"I haven't had a job in the last few days, haven't I? Want to take an early break for the New Year? ”
The old aunts are all worried about doing more work and earning more money.
"It's not that there are no ships going to sea recently, and there is nothing to dry, so when you dispose of these goods, you will continue to filter the fish sauce, which will have to be filtered for a few days, and it will not be without work, just to work until the New Year."
"That's good, that's good."
"After you make fish sauce here, it is much more convenient in the village, you don't have to go to other people's houses to ask for a little, and you don't have to ferment it yourself, you can only eat it for more than half a year, and you can only eat it for more than half a year, and you can't eat much if you are serious."
"Yes, it's much easier now, you can go directly to the grocery store to get a bottle."
"It's better to be able to do business now, we can sell anything for money, like we don't have a bright brain, so we can only follow the work."
"I heard that the old Li family also fermented a lot of fish sauce a few days ago, and also made several cylinders, and I don't know if it will be fermented and sold for money."
"How much can you sell for a few cylinders? It takes more than half a year to ferment, and it takes half a year to earn so many dozens of yuan, isn't that hard? If you want to make money, you have to get such a large batch like Adong, but who is willing to spend so much money? I don't know how much I can earn? Can you pay for yourself? ”
The old aunts asked Ye Yaodong while working.
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "I don't know, isn't it just a few days after it was sold?" Anyway, I'm ready for a long time to resist. ”
"There were people in the village who learned how to dry fish before, but they were sold everywhere in the village, and they didn't sell much in the town. can be dried at home, who spends money to buy it? In total, there are only one or two loads of goods, and they can still sell a little in the first few days, and they are still happy, but they are not easy to sell in the back, who is rare with miscellaneous fish? It was sold for a few days and then it was not sold. ”
"If you want me to say, you have to go to a farther place to sell it, like Adong, don't they all send it to the city."
"You touch your mouth, it's easy to say, there are few people in the whole village who have been to the county seat, and the eighteen bends of the mountain road have to walk for hours, and you still go to the city? It's not good to say anything, but don't come back, and not everyone is willing to ask a tractor to run around every day. ”
"Don't say it, there are not a few trawlers in the village, and this year Ah Dong and Lao Pei's family bought a few more, otherwise everyone is using a small boat, and they have all kinds of fish, and those that can be sold for some money must be sold, and those that are useless are used to dry, so how many can be dried? Save for a year to see if you can pick a county seat to sell. ”
"Yes, who is willing to collect tens of thousands of catties of the same kind of fish like him, and the money is not earned, and he spends a lot of money first, who is willing to do it? I was reluctant. ”
"So you can only work here, and you can't make a lot of money."
"Okay, why are you working here?"
"I didn't say that I was willing to spend my money, usually spending one or two dollars is enough to feel distressed, we are only suitable for working to save some money."
"We are reluctant, we are reluctant, we deserve to earn money."
"He really deserves to make money, he is willing to do anything, the fish sauce has not yet started to sell, the money has not been earned, the land has been bought for thousands of yuan first, the walls have been built, the money is posted on the wall and the ground, and I am reluctant to do this if I am killed."
"Don't talk about buying land and building walls, I see that you are reluctant to even buy a wooden barrel vat, I don't look at this wooden barrel vat full of empty land, not to mention, these are thousands of yuan, and I can't sell my whole family for so much money."
"It's better to kill me and bury me in the wall, and save some money for materials."
"Hahaha......"
"Tut-tut...... The money has been spent on this, and it will take a few years to pay it back? ”
"What about the housekeeper, anyway, he has money to toss, and in the past few months, he has 10,000 yuan households with all the people who went to Zhejiang Province to fish for jellyfish, and he has so many boats, and one person has tens of thousands of yuan households......"
"He tosses and tosses, and we also have money to ......"
The old aunts had already ignored Ye Yaodong when they chatted, and they chatted happily to themselves, and they had already treated him as if he didn't exist.
Ye Yaodong touched his nose and stood in the corner, so as not to affect the chatting of these aunts.
He walked around the workshop, and the fishing nets were already neatly lined with small pipes, and today was another cloudy day, and the cold wind was swishing, and it should not be slow to dry.
After shopping, he returned home, anyway, just leave the work to those old aunts, they are all their own aunts, and there is nothing to worry about the work, Aqing does not stay in the workshop all day and night, only comes to take a look from time to time.
"Our big ship is also in hand, so should we rent the other boat? When the aunties first came in the morning, they all asked me a few words, and I said that I would have to wait until you woke up to see what you planned. ”
She sat in front of the TV and looked up at him as she peeled turnips.
Ye Yaodong also walked next to her and sat down to watch TV, the central station actually played Journey to the West three dozen white bone spirits there, no wonder everyone up and down the family sat in front of the TV attentively and watched with relish, their buttocks didn't move, and the children were quiet, neither noisy nor noisy.
"Let's rent it, call the eldest cousin and Brother Ah Sheng over later, the second cousin hasn't done anything now anyway, it's convenient for the eldest cousin and the two brothers to share a boat, Brother Ah Sheng will call another one depending on the situation."
"Tomorrow is Xiao Nian, the Dongsheng that we just drove back, won't it go out before the year?"
"Actually, I kind of want to go out and try it, but looking at the wind and waves, I probably have to wait for a new year."
The old lady immediately said: "Don't worry, it's going to be the New Year soon, wait for the New Year, the weather is not good in the past two days, last night's weather forecast also said that there will be sleet today, although I haven't seen it, it is estimated that it is a lie." But when I woke up in the morning, the roofs of other people's houses were covered with a thick layer of frost, and it was too cold, and I was going to catch a cold when I went to sea. ”
"Well, besides, in the next two days, I will probably have to prepare to go to the city and the county seat again to replenish a wave of fish sauce to the store."
"That dress needs to be ......"
"That's a monster, Tang Seng is confused......"
"Ah, he also drove Sun Wukong away......"
"This Tang monk's stupid ......"
Lin Xiuqing suddenly heard a group of children croaking and swearing, and she hit Ye Chenghu in the mouth with a backhand.
"What are you swearing? Who swears all day long? ”
"No, it's Tang Seng who is too stupid, he drove Sun Wukong away, and he is about to be eaten by monsters, it's too annoying."
"If you don't want to see it, don't watch it, and if you talk dirty, I'll beat you with a whip."
Ye Chenghu glared at the TV angrily, "If you don't watch it, I'm angry." ”
"Then you go away......" Ye Chengyang raised the stool under his buttocks with both hands and was about to move forward, covering Ye Chenghu.
Ye Chenghu immediately waved his hand to push him away, causing him to fall directly to the ground.
"Mother, he hit me!"
"He's going to stand in my way, and I can't see it."
"You said you wouldn't read it."
"I want to see it."
Not to be outdone, Ye Chengyang also pushed away, "It's you who said you don't want to see it, and you still push me." ”
"You take care of me, I'll sit here......"
The two brothers stretched out their hands to each other, pushing and pushing to pinch the fight, originally seeing Tang Seng drive Sun Wukong away, it was already enough to be aggrieved, and the anger came up in an instant, Lin Xiuqing shouted two sentences, and the two were still pinching there.
Annoyed, she hurried to get the whip immediately.
Ye Xiaoxi clapped his hands happily, "Whip, whip, hit it~"
Ye Yaodong also gloated, "Oh~The whip is coming~"
The two brothers lay on the ground with their shoulders hooked, and immediately parted, quickly got up with their hands and feet, and slammed up the stairs before the whip came.
Lin Xiuqing stood below with a whip, looking up at the two lying on the stairs one after the other.
"Just watch TV, just watch TV, what's the noise? If it's noisy again, the pants will be taken off and beaten. ”
"It's all you!"
"It's all your fault!"
Ye Chenghu in front kicked Ye Chengyang below, and Ye Chengyang below slapped Ye Chenghu above.
Lin Xiuqing shook the stairs with a whip, and the two of them listened to the sound of the swaying, and immediately shut up and stopped.
Then the two didn't dare to come down, so they lay on the top of the stairs and looked down.
She stood with the whip in hand for a moment, and when she saw that it had stopped, she sat down again in front of the television.
Ye Xiaoxi saw the whip that her mother put at her feet, and quickly picked it up, and then ran to the stairs in a hurry, learning from Lin Xiuqing to slap the stairs and shout loudly at the two on the stairs.
"Take off your pants and hit ~"
"Take it off, hit it~"
Ye Chenghu glared at her, "Shut up, no matter how much you fake the tiger, I will beat you!" ”
Ye Yaodong also hurriedly went over and picked up the little fat dun, "You can come here, call twice, the two rush down, and beat you first." ”
"There's this."
"Who is this hitting?"
"Hit it well~"
"I beat you too."
"No~No~"
"Let's just sit and watch TV." Ye Yaodong hugged her and sat on her lap to watch.
After Lin Xiuqing finished cutting the radish, he soaked it in water, took a cabbage and sat down in front of the TV, and said depressedly: "I don't spend all day at home on holidays, and I either quarrel or fight all day long." ”
"Luckily, there are only two."
"It's three, how well-behaved do you think your daughter is? Fortunately, the eldest brother and the second brother's family bought TVs in the past few months, and they were not all concentrated in our house, otherwise, the roof would have been lifted. ”
The old lady was happy, "This is lively." ”
Lin Xiuqing shook her head in disgust.
Ye Yaodong couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, thinking that he would simply do the ship in advance, so as not to be remembered, and then wave after wave of people would go to his house.
Just go to the old house for a walk, talk to his father, and take a look at the newly installed doors and windows.
If you go to the city to make deliveries in two days, you will bring Simmons back with an empty car and sleep in a new bed for the New Year.
There was no sun on a cold day, and the village was deserted everywhere, and there were only children running around on the road who were snotting and not afraid of the cold, and the adults were huddled at home.
Ye Yaodong went out for a walk, and after finishing the matter, he also returned to his home to nest.
It wasn't until the next day, when the fish sauce began to be filtered in the workshop again, that he went over again, stopping by to see the nudibranchs that had been dried and were waiting to be air-dried.
After getting a car early in the morning of the third day, he directly began to drive his little brother back to and from the city and home on a tractor.
He was busy until the evening of the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, when he replenished the goods and sent them again, and brought back the empty vats, waiting for the aunts to continue to filter and reuse them after the New Year.
The work of the aunts is also done intermittently, which is also to reduce the cost of buying a large tank, after all, the number of purchases is large, and the cumulative calculation is not cheap, and the initial investment is too much, and he is also waiting for the return of the capital, so it is better to search a little.
The bed was also replaced with a wooden shelf and Simmons mattress when there was a good day on the 26th day of the lunar calendar.
The old-fashioned bed was also dismantled by the carpenter, moved upstairs and reassembled for the two sons to sleep in.
It will take ten years for them to grow up, and it will be no problem to give them a new bed after ten years, this old-fashioned shelf bed is very durable, and it will be fine for decades.
Ye Yaodong didn't expect that he could be diligent to this extent, just like the next ninety-nine-six, he had to work until Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve before resting.
In these days, women are used as men and men as slaves.
The social animals in the future will be similar.
After sending his father-in-law's family after dark, he returned home by himself, he didn't even take a bath, finished settling the account, washed his face and feet and lay on the bed.
Prepare to save the dirt, keep it for tomorrow night Chinese New Year's Eve washing, wash and change into new clothes for the New Year, and wash it early is a little less ceremonial.
"Soft, is it comfortable, Ye Xiaojiu?"
"Shuhu~"
Ye Xiaoxi jumped on the bed excitedly, the old-fashioned shelf bed was often made by her jumping, after replacing Simmons, there was no sound of banging, only the sound of springs, she liked it more, which could make her jump higher.
Recently, after washing her feet and putting them in bed every night, she started jumping.
Ye Yaodong was shaking from her when he was lying on the bed.
Lin Xiuqing also deliberately spread a layer of mattress on top of Simmons, which made it softer and easier to sleep.
That is, he felt that if she jumped for a few more days, the spring would collapse.
"Stop jumping, rest for a while."
"Don't~"
"It's going to jump."
He directly caught her and held her in his arms, but she kept struggling, and before she had enough fun, Ye Yaodong had to divert her attention.
"How old is the Chinese New Year?"
"Three years old!"
"Finger gesture."
Only then did she quietly stare at her fingers wrestling back and forth, and stretched out the three soft fat fingers in the middle.
"So?"
"Yes, I'll train you in advance, and the next time someone asks you, you'll know."
She smiled brightly.
"And you're a pig, you know? You can't tell people that you're a duck and you'll laugh. ”
"Don't, don't want pigs, you want ducks."
"There are no ducks in the zodiac."
"You pig!"
"I'm not ......"
"You piggy!"
Ye Xiaoxi kept laughing in his arms, and reached out to poke his nose, poking his nostrils up, making him a pig's nose.
"Piggy, you piggy."
Ye Yaodong also went to get her nose, "You are the pig." ”
"You are, you are ......"
The room was full of childish babbling, accompanied by children's giggling, which seemed warm.
Lin Xiuqing returned to the house and smiled at the father and daughter who seemed to be in a mess, "Go to bed early, tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, you will start working early in the morning." ”
"Have you paid your wages?"
"It's over, just after the floor of their workshop was cleaned, I settled all the wages, and the New Year's red envelope was also sent out by one person, everyone was very happy, and the good words never stopped."
"Wishing you prosperity!" As soon as Ye Xiaoxi heard the salary, he immediately made a compilation with both hands and shook it twice in front of his chest.
"Not bad! Also know to say Wishing you prosperity. ”
"Bring the red envelope!"
She stretched out her hands and stretched out in front of Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong slapped his big palm on her little hand, "Who taught you?" ”
"Gotta get it!"
"I'll give you the New Year's money tomorrow."
She nodded happily like pounding garlic.
"Alright, it's time to sleep."
Lin Xiuqing also took off her clothes and climbed into bed to urge the father and daughter who were still playing happily.
Ye Xiaoxi was reluctant to sleep, and pouted her ass directly at her mother.
Lin Xiuqing slapped her on the buttocks and scolded with a smile, "When did you learn so inappropriately, and you still pouted your ass at me." ”
"Don't sleep!"
"Turn off the lights."
"I'll come, I'll come~"
He told him not to sleep, but as soon as he heard that the lights were off, he rushed over to pull the wire, and then continued to roll on the bed.
The couple lay down and talked, ignoring her, and after a while she fell asleep on her own.
"I saw Brother Asheng's new wife today."
"Oh."
"Looks pretty young."
"Didn't my mother say that she was only twenty-six years old?"
"Yes, the two daughters I brought here look clean, one is four years old and the other is seven years old."
"Oh."
Ye Yaodong doesn't care much about other people's widows, but Lin Xiuqing has a gossip heart.
"Brother Ah Sheng is in his thirties, and being able to marry a twenty-six-year-old widow can be regarded as earning, and he is not losing, and he doesn't ask for money."
"Well, the young woman's wife is also more sensible than the yellow flower girl."
She smiled and slapped him, "What are you talking about?" I'll tell you about business, where do you think? ”
Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and was drowsy, and he woke up after beating her, "What I said is not serious, where do you want to go?" ”
"You say that you are more sensible than the yellow flower girl......"
"That's right, the big girl of the yellow flower still needs to be taught, this young woman's wife doesn't need to be taught, I'm talking about dealing with people, do you know how to change your posture when you think of patting your buttocks?"
Lin Xiuqing pinched him.
"I know that you women are very yellow, I didn't say anything, you yourself understand that aspect."
"Where, if you are not serious yourself, I will want to be crooked."
"So you've got yellow scrap in your head."
"The yellow scrap you just had in your head, I won't tell you, sleep."
"You women are like this, you can't argue, and you get angry when you are poked in the center."
"Fuck off, don't come here."
"Don't roll up the quilt, I don't have a quilt, otherwise you think I love to sleep next to you?"
Lin Xiuqing kicked over, and Ye Yaodong reacted quickly and quickly clamped her.
"Hey, hey, you're kicking again?"
Lin Xiuqing also kicked him with his other foot, and the couple rubbed on the bed while playing.
"Don't make a fuss......"
"I was about to fall asleep, you got me first, and now you have to be responsible."
"Where did I get you?"
"You told me about yellow scrap."
"It's because your own mind is unhealthy, so I talked about the new daughter-in-law, and you thought of the young woman's wife."
"I'm not wrong, you are also a young woman's wife, come on, little young woman~" Ye Yaodong laughed and pulled her clothes and pants.
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and struggled, "Don't make trouble, I'm tired for a day, don't you stay for New Year's Eve tomorrow night?" ”
"The New Year's Eve cannon has made you learn it, and you still have to do it?"
"Who told you to read it every year, then I don't remember it?"
"Come first in the evening, and I can do it tomorrow."
"Go away, don't take a shower at night, don't make trouble."
"My pants are off, you tell me this? It's okay, it's okay if I haven't washed it once or twice......"
"Tomorrow night, tomorrow night, you recharge your energy first......"
"I'm full of energy, and I'm still a strong guy in my twenties......"
The couple tossed and turned in the bed.
"I'm going to wake up early tomorrow......"
"I'm ...... soon"
"Hahaha......"
"Shut up ......"
In order to eat meat, Ye Yaodong also did everything he could, saying anything.
Chinese New Year's Eve is full of New Year's flavor, as early as a few days ago, their family had already purchased the New Year's goods, the collection that should be rushed, Ye Yaodong did not have time to catch up, Lin Xiuqing rushed to buy all the things to be used for the New Year.
Early in the morning, Ye Yaodong also got up early to paste couplets and window flowers.
Then he and Father Ye helped catch the goose and kill it.
They are tired of eating chickens and ducks, so they have to raise a flock of geese this year, and the geese are also big, and killing one is enough for a few people in their family to eat.
The children ran around the village and felt the atmosphere of the New Year, and their pockets were filled with rare snacks, and their mouths did not stop.
"Mother, when will you give the New Year's money?"
"Wait until the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is over."
"Can you give me half first? I want to buy firecrackers. ”
"Won't you take your private money?"
"That's not good, that's my private money."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and ignored him.
"Brother, let's go pick up ......"
"Where to pick it up? Firecrackers are only set off when it's time to eat. ”
"Don't~Don't kill in vain~"
Just as the two brothers were discussing where to pick up firecrackers, Ye Xiaoxi began to scream heartbreakingly.
Lin Xiuqing was also taken aback by her, and hurriedly went to the yard to take a look.
Ye Xiaoxi was holding the neck of the big goose and crying there, "Don't kill ~ my white ~ can't eat white ~ 555 ~ white ~ "
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were stunned when they grabbed the goose, and the knives were behind them for fear of touching her.
"Can't be killed~"
