Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye waited until their men had carried all the goods to be sold off the boat, and after all the goods to be kept for drying had been loaded onto carts, they asked Ye Yaodong to help them take a look at the boat.
They had to send a carful of fish back first, and then continue to carry the shelled ones later, so they were quite busy at night.
They were still away from home for a whole day, so they had to go back first to see if the children at home were obedient? Have you ever been naughty?
Ye Yaodong nodded, just in passing.
Their boat was also piled with sacks at this time. It looked like they were full and they had gained a lot. It was obvious from a glance that the two sisters-in-law had worked hard today.
They have to kill fish and open shells. I don’t know if they can be busy at night. What time will they be busy? Can they go out to sea again at night?
The two sisters-in-law really worked hard to make money.
He also had some itchy hands. In fact, it was quite a sense of accomplishment to dig these shells on the reef wall, especially if there was any unexpected discovery, it would be pure profit.
I wonder if they walked around the shore more when digging for these shells on the island today to see if they picked up anything good? I forgot to ask just now.
Ye Yaodong stood on the shore and smoked, saying hello to people he knew well and looking directly into the distance to those he didn't know.
There was a pile of crushed cigarette butts at his feet. He didn't even count how many he had smoked. Anyway, he didn't have time to smoke while working during the day. After finishing his work, he made up for it in his free time.
He is not a big smoker, but he still smokes when he has to. A pack of cigarettes a day makes him as happy as a god.
After he put out another cigarette butt, Father Ye and Ye Yaosheng arrived late pushing the cart.
He stepped on it and pushed it away, then picked up the bucket at his feet that his second brother had just brought for him, "Dad, you put these in the car first, and I'll go to Ah Cai's place to load a bucket of ice cubes."
"Keep this stingray fresh?"
"Yes, he said that even though it's cold, it's best to use ice cubes to keep it fresh. It's free of charge and free of charge."
"Then go ahead and let's get into the car first."
Ye Yaodong hurried back. Ah Cai was busy weighing the goods and had no time to pay attention to him. The ships behind him were also coming in one after another and were unloading the goods on the shore.
When he met people he knew well, he said hello one after another and took a look at what they were fishing for.
After looking around and finding nothing special, he returned to the cart and said to Father Ye.
"The small wooden boat hasn't been lifted off the boat yet. Brother Asheng and I will lift it. You wait here for a while. There is still room on the trolley, and the boat is not big. It can barely be placed on it. Anyway, It would be nice to be able to push it around.”
Father Ye nodded.
There were baskets of fish coming and going on the pier. Everyone had their flashlights on, and the lights from several small huts nearby made it look quite bright, and you could see the road.
These days, everyone has very good eyesight, and the rare ones who wear glasses are intellectuals.
Avoiding the villagers who were walking by carrying a large basket, the two climbed into their own boat, just as the tide was rising when he came back. When the water level rises, fishing boats don't need to park outside, they can dock on the shore.
The two people carried the small wooden boat down one after the other, which attracted the villagers who were moving goods back and forth.
"Ouch? Where did the boat come from? Did you pick it up at sea? It's full of barnacles and shells, so many of them?"
"You pick up everything. What's the use of picking it up? It's all these shells. This boat looks like it's useless. If you pick it up and use it as firewood, it may not burn..."
"Then don't say that. Ask the mother-in-law at home to knock off these shells on the boat, and you can dig out some meat. You can eat it for two or three meals. If you are tired of fish and shrimp every day, you can eat these shells occasionally to make soup. It’s also fresh and sweet.”
"That's right, there are people visiting the shore every day. Now there are only a few green sea greens on the stone wall that can be used to make fried eggs for salad. There are quite few of them in shells."
"It's a pity. I don't know how long this little wooden boat has been floating. It is probably no longer usable. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to pick up a small boat for nothing."
"The whole boat is full of shells, so densely packed that it must be ruined..."
"I don't know if there are shipworms in it... I guess there are..."
"Then you have to split it open to find out. If you don't split it, you can't see it, and it won't show up..."
It was already dark, so they had no time to split it here. They had to transport it home first. They didn’t know if they would be able to finish digging out the shells on the boat at night. If not, they could only save them for digging tomorrow morning. .
When the digging was almost completed, he could send the boat to Brother Asheng and let him slowly split it open and add food.
Seeing them come back with another small boat for nothing, everyone was a little curious and kept paying attention to them.
As a result, when I saw them lifting the boat up, I didn't know whether it was covered with various shells, or whether it had been soaked in the sea for too long, the quality was too brittle, and it was too heavy.
The small wooden boat was accidentally knocked down and fell directly to the ground, breaking into two pieces in the middle.
Fortunately, they jumped back quickly when they saw the mistake, otherwise they would have hit their feet.
"Ouch, why did I fall down so accidentally?"
"It's fine now, it can't be used anymore..."
"It can't be used in the first place, right?"
"Ah, there really are shipworms, they look really disgusting..."
"Where? There really is..."
I saw many small holes in the middle of the broken wooden fishing boat. Inside the holes were white insects squirming. There were small holes in every hole. The middle of the fault looked quite dense.
The women around them all rubbed their arms, disgusted and thought it was too disgusting. There were really not many people in their village who knew how to eat this. Only some elderly people were discussing how to eat it fried. tasty.
These elderly people have really experienced famine and have eaten everything.
Ye Yaodong was also disgusted, "Okay now, you go to my eldest and second brother's boat and get a bucket. First catch everything you can and put it in the bucket. You can take it back later. The rest will be waiting for you. Dig out the shells from the boat, and I will send you two more pieces of the boat, which should be delivered tomorrow morning."
"Okay, don't be in a hurry."
As he said this, Ye Yaosheng went to the boat to get a bucket and squatted there to grab it seriously.
Ye Yaodong kindly gave him a flashlight. Under the light of the night, these bugs were even more disgusting and kept squirming there.
The difference from real maggots is probably that one is longer and the other is shorter.
I got an unexpected item today. The good thing is that it is very good, but the disgusting thing is also really disgusting. When I go back later, I will peel off the stone fish and stew it to replenish it. I am so relieved.
After he finished catching them, they loaded the two sections of the boat onto the cart.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came over after weighing the goods. He didn't need to see the goods on their ship, so he and Brother Asheng pushed the cart back first.
And his father saw so many shells on their boat and planned to stay and help move them.
I’m so sleepy that I can’t stand it any longer. I coded 2,000 and released it first. I’ll make up the rest tomorrow.
