Chapter 40 Shocked Everyone
Ye Yaodong smiled and said to everyone: "I want to leave two or three mackerels to take back. Tomorrow my house will start construction, and I have to take care of the workers' food and drink. I just have a few mackerel balls left. There are also these miscellaneous seafood, let's
I can’t even finish the whole meal, and I want to save some to use as food tomorrow. Anyway, we all share the goods equally. I want to keep the ones I want to keep, and when they are sold, I will deduct the money from them, and I will get less points..."
"Oh, what about deducting money? We are all good brothers. You can take as many as you want to keep..."
"Yes, yes. If you want to keep a few notes, just take them. Why are you talking about deducting or not deducting money? Do you want to see it outside?"
"That's right, there are hundreds of mackerel, do you still need a few of yours? Since the construction of your house will start tomorrow, you can either keep a few more, or you can cut them into sections and marinate them. On a hot day, fresh fish should be kept
No, you can keep the pickled salted fish for a few more days. Anyway, you catch them yourself and you don’t spend any money, so what’s the use of keeping a few more?”
Everyone’s words are so heart-warming. These friendships are not in vain.
He smiled and shook his head, "This fish is quite valuable. It's a bit extravagant to eat so much. I'll just keep two. My father goes out to sea every day to trawl, and every day he brings back some worthless fish.
I cooked it for the workers to eat the next day and it was still fine."
"Let's divide the two barrels of seafood and save some for drinking together in the evening. Each of the others will take some back home. It can also add two bowls of food to the family."
"There are also mackerel fish. You can save two of them and take them back to your family. They are good for making mackerel dumplings or fish balls."
He doesn't like to eat mackerel dumplings, but he likes to eat fish balls.
Since no one is willing to deduct money from him, it is better to divide it equally and everyone can take some back home, which can also add food to the family.
When everyone listened to his arrangements, they always felt that something was different about him.
I actually thought of my family and thought about them.
Aguang patted his shoulder and said, "Dongzi, it feels like you have suddenly matured a little. Is it because of the impending separation?"
"Of course, I will be the head of the family soon. After I no longer live with my parents, I will definitely be more mature."
"Is it because I get scolded less? Hahaha~" Ah Zheng teased him.
"Go, go, go, you will cause trouble everywhere!"
"Then just follow what A Dong said, keep two mackerels for each person and pick out the small fish and shrimps by yourself. Take whatever you want. If you don't want it, we'll take it with you for drinks at night."
Aguang shook his head and said, "I don't want it anymore. It's just me and my two sisters at home, so we can't eat much. I just need some food to go with the drinks at night."
Azheng also said: "My four sisters are all married. My parents and I are the only ones in my family. We can't eat much. I just want a mackerel and a bowl of shrimps."
"See for yourselves. If you have some leftovers, I'll pick some more." Ye Yaodong said nonchalantly.
When the four of them approached the dock, they each picked out the goods they wanted to keep, and each of them also kept one or two mackerel as needed.
At this time, the tide at the pier has not yet fully risen, and some people are still digging for sand clams.
The tide was too shallow for the boat to sail in, so it had to stop at a nearby reef and get ashore from the reef.
One person was left on the boat, and everyone else ran to the collection point to get baskets. They never expected to catch so many fish, and they had no preparations, not even baskets.
Ah Cai from the purchasing point saw them acting like bandits as soon as they came in. Without even saying hello, he took away all the bamboo baskets that were half a person high and asked him if he had any more?
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Where are you going to take my basket? There are so many."
"We caught several thousand kilograms of mackerel, please come and help us carry it." After Ye Yaodong said this, he grabbed Ah Cai and hurriedly moved all the remaining baskets away.
"Thousands of kilograms of mackerel, where did you catch them? Are they real or fake? Don't fool me!" Ah Cai staggered as he dragged him, and then he shook off his hand.
"Oh, don't be so long-winded. Walk faster. You'll know after you see it."
It happened that the tide was too shallow now, and there were no ships coming in from the pier. He was idle and followed them to the boat with suspicion.
As soon as he stepped onto the boat, he saw the live cabins packed with mackerels. Ah Cai's eyes lit up, "It's really mackerels! There are so many, did you catch a whole school of mackerels?"
?”
A Guang said without raising his head: "There's more than just one net. There are more in the cabin. Please help load them quickly."
"How much did the mackerel cost?" Ye Yaodong was more concerned about this.
"2 cents."
"Grass, can you give me a little more?"
"It's high enough. If I change hands, I'll only make a penny or two."
"I don't believe you, please help me carry it down first."
"Ah~ there are so many in the cabin? Where did you encounter a school of small mackerel?" Ah Cai was shocked, even the cabin was crowded with mackerel.
"Why are you asking so much? Come and help!"
After basket after basket of mackerel was carried off the boat one after another, everyone around the dock was shocked.
The wharf in their village is just a small wharf. It usually only accepts goods from small boats trawling or cage nets. There is not much cargo on one ship. Where have I seen baskets of mackerel like this? Everyone is buying them.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Hang Tian, ​​there are so many mackerels, whose boat caught them?"
"Why are there so many? Is there a big ship docking here?"
"Definitely not. I didn't see any trace of the ship."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ I'm rich again! Ye Laosan just caught a large yellow croaker a few days ago, and today someone caught several thousand kilograms of mackerel again."
"Whose family? I think I saw Adong's group just now?"
"A Dong, A Guang and the others..."
"Isn't it right? How many of them can do serious things?"
…
Baskets of mackerel were piled up at the collection point. Those who were digging for sand clams on the beach below also heard that someone had netted thousands of kilograms of mackerel, including Ye Yaodong.
A group of Ye family members were all surprised. Dongzi netted several kilograms of mackerel?
Is it true? When did he go to sea?
"Come on, let's go ashore and take a look. Anyway, the tide is coming in soon." Mother Ye stood up impatiently.
Since when has the third son been so reliable?
Lin Xiuqing was surprised and happy while holding her son in her arms. She knew that her man had gone to sea, but didn't he go fishing on an isolated island? How could he catch several kilograms of mackerel?
The Ye family walked to the purchasing point with doubts and saw baskets of mackerel piled all over the floor. Ye Yaodong and A Guang came over carrying another basket. Their mouths were open and closed in surprise.
Lin Xiuqing was the first to react. After he put down the basket, she pulled his arm and asked, "A Dong, did you net all these mackerel?"
"I'm not the only one, A Guang, Xiao Xiao, A Zheng, we all have a share."
"Is it really you who came online?" Mother Ye still couldn't believe it. Her third son couldn't lift his hands or lift his shoulders. When had he ever done anything serious?
