Chapter 227 Call a tractor
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father turned around after hearing this, and saw blood stains everywhere on the boat. A young man was anxiously docking the fishing boat. The middle-aged man must be his father. He was leaning against the side of the boat with blood on his shoulders. His shoulders were clearly visible.
It was injured, and there was a huge swordfish in the middle of the hull.
Both father and son's eyes widened, and they thought to themselves, were they injured while catching swordfish?
Father Ye came to the side of the boat and shouted with concern, "How are you? Where are you injured?"
In the village next door, they are all seamen, and everyone knows them. If you see them, you should go and ask them.
"Uncle, my dad's shoulder was pierced by a swordfish. Can you help call someone to my house to call someone?"
"Ah?" Who should he call?
He turned to look at Ye Mu, "Are there any people on the shore from Dongqiao Village who haven't left yet? Go ashore and ask if anyone knows their family? If they live relatively close, ask someone to send a message for them.
"
Ye's mother looked at the bloody scene and felt frightened. It would be no big deal for the folks in her hometown to spread the word, so she hurried ashore.
People on the shore had seen it a long time ago and were all talking about it. Mother Ye went up and said casually, "Does anyone know their family?" Someone volunteered and said he was their neighbor and had already sent someone back to report the news.
Ye Yaodong was no longer in a hurry to unload the cargo, and chatted with a young man named Lin Jinyang opposite on the boat.
"It turns out that the boat we met on the sea was yours. It was a coincidence."
"Well, this fish flew past us at that time. Fortunately, it didn't hit our boat directly, otherwise it would have been doomed."
"Did you also see this fish? Then why didn't you catch up? We thought you didn't see it."
Originally, when Lin Jinyang was chasing the sailfish, he was worried when he saw their fishing boat. Later, when he saw that they were not moving, he thought he hadn't seen it and felt relieved.
Ye Yaodong chuckled twice and said in a non-faithful manner: "Isn't it because I saw your boat catching up to you first and thought about it and stopped following? What's more, this fish is very ferocious."
Lin Jinyang nodded, "This fish is really fierce. It was our first time to catch it. The fishing net was broken by it. It broke free and entered the water. It rushed out of the water and faced my father who was leaning on the side of the boat.
He rushed over and stabbed my father on the shoulder. Then he fell into the boat..."
Hiss~
Everyone who heard it felt pain, and it pierced the shoulder directly.
If it goes a little too far and pierces the heart, it will be over.
"Then you caught this fish?"
"Well, because of the impact, my dad fell on the boat. It also fell to the deck, and it could explode. I knocked him unconscious with a stick and killed him. Then he stopped. This fish is not easy to catch.
.”
"It's normal that it's hard to catch."
This was a swordfish. This one could save them from fishing for several days, but the price was quite high. Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, he didn't follow it.
After chatting for a few words and waiting for their family members to arrive in a hurry, Ye Yaodong and the others continued to move the goods off the ship.
Two baskets of toad fish were purchased. The small one cost two cents per catty, the larger one cost four cents, and the giant black one cost six cents per catty.
6 tarpon cost 465 kilograms, 6 cents per kilogram, those mud fish cost 236 kilograms, big ones cost 6 cents, small ones cost 4 cents, and there are a few flounder, which are more valuable, costing 6 cents a catty.
Half a basket of shrimps weighed 24 kilograms, worth more than ten yuan, and there were about a dozen miscellaneous fish caught by longline fishing.
There is also a 721-pound starfish, which is also worth more than a dozen yuan.
Putting the miscellaneous goods together, all the goods today, including starfish, sold for more than 78 yuan, which is pretty good.
It just took too long to wait.
From dawn to dusk, the entire pier was full of people, queuing up to sell starfish. I don’t know how many days it would last.
He asked his father to go back early, and helped him send the leftover goods back for extra meals. He queued up there, and after selling out, he sent ten baskets of hooks to others for repair, and then pushed the cart home.
"I'm back, I'll pack some food for you."
"Dad, today's prawns and squid are delicious..."
His wife's gentle words and his children's laughter washed away the fatigue from his body as soon as he entered the house, and a smile appeared on his face.
But before he could speak, he saw his wife finishing the meal. She frowned again and said with some worry: "My mother asked someone to send a message, saying that when my father went up to the mountain to pick oranges, he rolled down the hillside.
I fell down on my foot,”
"When did it happen?" He was a little surprised.
"I just fell yesterday. I heard that a plaster was put on it. There is no telephone service in my parents' village, so I can't call back..."
Ye Yaodong held her somewhat cold hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I only said that my leg was in a plaster after the fall, and I didn't say anything else. It should be fine. I will take you back to have a look tomorrow."
Lin Xiuqing frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "You want to go to sea. I will send the two children to mother during the day tomorrow, and then I will go back by myself and come back in the evening..."
"The wind has picked up in the evening, so I might not be able to go at night. It's okay if I don't go for a day or two. I'll just send the sea snake wine and the dried fish to your parents' house. I'll go out early tomorrow to collect the ground cages and fresh starfish.
Bring a bag with you too."
After listening to his arrangement, Lin Xiuqing's brows relaxed, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her entire facial features softened again.
She nodded, "Okay, let's go back and take a look, and leave the two children to mother, shall we?"
"Take it with you. Let's play with it for two days."
"Okay, then I'll go and pack things."
"Well, bring some more dried fish. We don't have anything else at home. There are so many of them. When we encounter cheap fish, we can leave some more to dry. If I didn't tell you earlier today, all the toad fish would be sold, otherwise
Take some back with you, its cod liver is a good thing."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "You don't need to take so much. I'll divide it into half and that's enough. We also need to keep some for our family. If we get too much sun in the future, we can just bring some back."
"Well, it's up to you!"
These are all dry goods that are sold at home, just follow her arrangements.
Ye Yaodong picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of the toad fish's maw first, and then took a sip of the fish soup from the mud fish.
It was warm, and my whole body was warmed.
Ah Qing cooked the toad fish with distiller's grains. The aroma of wine was mixed with the aroma of fish, which was particularly delicious. Just when braised in braised fish, add a big spoonful of distiller's grains to it to give it a unique flavor.
They have the local habit of eating distiller's grain fish. Many fish can be used to cook distiller's grain fish, and oysters are often used to cook distiller's grain fish.
After a tiring day, a hearty and appetizing dinner made him extremely satisfied.
The next day, he got up at dawn. He couldn't sleep deeply because of something else on his mind.
If you go to collect the goods from the ground cage earlier, you can also set off earlier.
When he arrived at the pier, he saw that there was no one on the shore. He thought everyone was scared today and no one came out to pick up starfish. Who knew that when he put away all the cages and returned to the shore, the shore was already densely packed with people waiting for them.
The ebbing tide man.
Money and silk attract people's hearts, and the number of people who are beaten to death and live every day has not decreased.
But there were indeed fewer starfish today. He collected all the ground cages, and only collected one bag of goods in total. Although he had just collected them last evening, compared to the 7 bags yesterday, it was obviously less.
This shows that the number of starfish on the seabed is decreasing. It is estimated that the shellfish in the surrounding seabed and shore have been eaten up, and many have been caught by ground traps. They should have retreated in a few days.
After he parked the boat, he carried a sack of starfish and a bucket ashore. There wasn't much. A sack of starfish was only worth 2 yuan. There was only one bass weighing two kilograms in the bucket, and the others were only two kilograms of small fish.
Fish and shrimp.
I'm lucky enough to still have a bass, after all, I just caught one last night.
After putting all the goods on the cart, he went to Ah Cai's purchase point to see if there was any other fresh fish to buy, but there was nothing. Everything was shipped away yesterday.
He had no choice but to give up and push the cart back.
Unexpectedly, he met his wife at the door of his house, carrying a big sea bass and a bucket.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Why are I bringing you fish? I heard that my mother-in-law broke her foot, so Aguang sent a sea bass and a bucket of dragonhead fish to you at night."
"That's perfect. I was just about to buy a sea bass, but there is no stock outside the pier so early, and the fishing boats didn't come in so early."
He felt that the only thing alive was a two-pound bass, which was a bit too little to get rid of.
"Well, have everything been packed?"
"That's about it. Let's have breakfast and leave later."
"Do you want to bring the child with you? Why don't you stay and watch it for me?"
"No, take it with you. Anyway, we are running around at home, so let's take it with us to play!"
Ye's mother didn't care, it would be easier for her not to ask her to look after the child.
Lin Xiuqing was feeling worried in the room at this time. There seemed to be too many things and it was hard to get them...
After entering the house, Ye Yaodong only said to have breakfast first, he had a way.
While they were wondering, a tractor came to the door, saying that it was called by Ye Yaodong. This shocked Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother.
When they stared at each other, Ye Yaodong quickly explained: "Isn't it difficult to get things? There are so many, and there are two children, there is no way to get them, so I just called a tractor last night and sent us directly to Anhe Township.
Okay, save yourself the trouble."
When he went to Dongqiao Village for a literacy class last night, he stopped by a family who drove a tractor and made an appointment to pick him up at 7:30 this morning.
The shadow was really too big last time. It was very life-threatening to carry two such small ones and a lot of things for more than half an hour.
It's okay for the adults to be tired and suffer a little, but the children suffered quite a lot and followed them a long way.
What's more, now that his wife has another baby in her belly, he can't ask her to walk that far anymore, so he just cuts it off first and pays for it later. He doesn't even have to pay for a taxi.
Mother Ye was about to scold her, but when she heard this, she looked at the pile of things next to her, including a whole sack of starfish.
Thinking that my daughter-in-law had another baby in her belly, she had to swallow it again, just glared at him and muttered something.
“I don’t know if I should save any more.”
Lin Xiuqing had nothing to say. She was originally worried about how to get it back, and she thought she could just push the cart back slowly and let the two children sit on it. Now that the tractor has been called, let's take the tractor.
After gagging the two difficult women, Ye Yaodong quickly moved the things up.
I was even more satisfied when I saw a few small wooden benches thoughtfully placed on top.
When the two children heard that they were going to their grandma's house on a tractor, they were already crazy with joy. They ran around the tractor in circles and circles. They were so excited that they even shouted that they were going to ride on the tractor...
Ye Chenghai and others who had not yet gone to school looked at him with envy, then they were slapped on the head and rushed to school.
Ye Yaodong grabbed one of them with one hand, stuck them both under his armpits, and carried them to the car. The two of them climbed up quickly, and then jumped on the car...
"You two, sit down and sit down. If you start jumping around again, don't go. Stay at home and look after the house!"
The two children stopped immediately, but their eyes were still bright and they were looking everywhere.
After helping Lin Xiuqing up and sitting down, he went to the house to check again and confirmed that the doors, windows, drawers, and everything were locked before he locked the door with confidence.
Their family now has a lot of treasures, so of course they have to be careful.
