When they drove the boat close to the shore, they saw a large number of ships parked around the pier, neatly and orderly, and they didn't know when they docked.
Ye Yaodong said in surprise: "Is it true that all the young adults in the village have called back to fight? They are so united!"
"Yes, there are fewer women on the shore. Yesterday there were dense jellyfish on the beach. Today they are all gone. So many boats have returned early."
"Let's get off the boat and carry all the cargo back first."
In addition to the jellyfish heads and skins, there are only a few buckets of jellyfish blood and brains, and it's quick to carry them back and forth several times.
As soon as Ye Yaodong saw Ye's father coming, he asked him, "Have my eldest and second brothers come? Have you called?"
"I was just about to tell you. Your mother called me at 8 o'clock in the morning and said that they set off at 2 or 3 o'clock in the night. They didn't know how to get there, so they landed in the town. She just called and said that she didn't know where the village was.
, I just came out from the village after taking a call."
"Then I will go to the town pier to pick them up later..."
"I'll go, just take a rest. I've been lying at home all day, and my bones are almost rusty." Ye's father said and climbed onto the boat, and then he didn't forget to give him a warning.
"Every young man in the village took the guy to the next village in the afternoon, saying that someone in their village was beaten at sea, and was thrown into the sea and stung by sea stings. There was an explosion in the village in the afternoon.
One by one, everyone was called back, and they gathered together aggressively and took the guys to the next village."
"You guys, please take it easy and don't get involved. It's none of our business. We're just passers-by. Just take a look."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Their village is really united. Those people who were thrown into the sea and stung by the sea were the same family that we asked for directions yesterday. It was I who towed the boat back with the people for them."
"You go pick up brother and the others. I'll just listen to the fun and join in if anyone is too full. There's still a lot of work waiting to be done."
Although Father Ye was a little surprised that they had rescued the people, he didn't say anything. He just told them a few more words not to get involved and just stay at the educated youth point and wait for them to come back.
Ye Yaodong and the others packed up everything on the boat, waited for the tractor to arrive, and after weighing all the goods, they took the tractor back to the educated youth point to weigh the jellyfish blood and jellyfish brains.
The jellyfish blood dried yesterday was surprisingly only 6 pounds and 7 taels. Logically speaking, there should be ten pounds of jellyfish blood for a 3,000-pound jellyfish.
The moment the weight was weighed, Ye Yaodong was a little confused and couldn't believe it.
The eldest cousin was also surprised and said bluntly: "Isn't this 300 pounds per pound? Why is it only less than 7 pounds?"
"What? You suspect there is something wrong with the scale?" the person who received the goods said dissatisfied.
Ye Yaodong smiled quickly and said: "No, not really, I'm just a little surprised. We sold it yesterday and calculated the weight, and it felt like there was a big discrepancy."
He pulled out two more cigarettes for them and asked for advice: "Brother, do you know how much a pound weighs? Is this a big fluctuation?"
People watched him go on the road and said without hesitation: "The blood of jellyfish produced is of course different depending on the size. For larger ones, the heavier ones are the jellyfish head at the bottom and the jellyfish skin at the end of the umbrella, although the area above the umbrella is also smaller.
It’s bigger, but the area is a bit larger, how much can it be scraped? This doesn’t account for the weight.”
"You have a jellyfish weighing more than a hundred kilograms and a jellyfish weighing ten kilograms. Although the weight difference is ten times, can you get ten times more blood from the jellyfish? No, right? There is no certainty on this."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That makes sense."
"Besides, if you collect it at sea, there is no way to overweight it. Your own estimate will probably be different, and it will also shrink during processing."
"Yes."
"Okay, let's go first, we're in a hurry."
Ye Yaodong made an appointment with them to come over to receive the goods tomorrow, and took out his cigarette again before sending them away politely.
He looked at the empty cigarette case and muttered, "I haven't smoked many cigarettes myself. I only smoked them for others. I can't buy a bad one. Selin is cold. Even buying two packs a day may not be enough."
use."
"Haha, you are so good at being a good person. I saw that the people in the village didn't pull out cigarettes for others when they sold them."
"Hey, isn't this a new arrival? You have to be polite and pull out two cigarettes to make it easier to ask questions."
Ye Yaodong threw the empty cigarette box to the side, took out another box from his pocket, opened one and held it in his mouth without lighting it. He handed it to his three cousins ​​and asked if they wanted it?
The three of them waved their hands repeatedly, saying that they had brought hookah or tobacco, and they could just tear up a small piece of newspaper and roll it up to smoke.
How could they dare to slap him?
Ye Yaodong didn't force himself, he closed the box and put it into his pocket.
He looked into the distance, calculating in his mind. Yesterday's batch of jellyfish sold for 77 yuan and 4 cents. Today's jellyfish blood sold for 73 yuan and 7 cents. The jellyfish brains were worthless, so they only sold for 2 yuan and 1 cents.
, but the total is equal to the 153 yuan sold for the one I picked up when I came here yesterday afternoon.
It's pretty good. After deducting labor, diesel money and food and drink, I can earn about 130 yuan. Like today, I can earn more than 200 yuan by going twice a day. Even if the price drops day by day, I still can't earn it.
few.
The more Ye Yaodong calculated, the more satisfied he became. After working for a month and a half, he could earn 3,000 yuan. If he gave a few hundred yuan to his father, he would still have a lot left over.
Unlike other families in this village, where one family has one boat and so many people share the money, each person will not get as much.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sunset in the distance, holding a cigarette in his mouth and shaking it back and forth, looking at the handsome guy.
The three men who had just walked over, men and women, couldn't help but stare at him, especially the two women, who couldn't help but look at him more.
Ye Yaodong felt as if someone was staring at him, so he turned his head and looked over, raising his eyebrows in confusion. This action gave him a bit of a handsome look, and there was a girl inside who blushed at the sight.
The three of them smiled and walked towards him. They just glanced between him and the brothers next to him, and then chose to walk towards their eldest cousin.
They all looked a little confused.
The leading woman spoke fluent local dialect and stuffed the basket into her cousin's arms.
The eldest cousin looked at the basket of eggs and was stunned.
Next to him, the fourth son of the Lu family, who was about the same age as Ye Yaodong but looked older, explained it to everyone in Mandarin, and then they suddenly realized that it was the mother of the Lu family who came to thank her with her surviving son and daughter.
Ye Yaodong and others were a bit dumbfounded.
The eldest cousin was also a little embarrassed. He smiled at them sheepishly, pointed at Ye Yaodong, and handed the basket of eggs back to them.
Only then did the three members of the Lu family know that Ye Yaodong, who seemed to be the youngest, was in charge, and they were all a little surprised.
Ye Yaodong also looked at them funny, thinking that his eldest cousin was their leader because of his age.
The three of them walked towards him again. The fourth son of the Lu family put a bag of rice at his feet and gave it to him. The girl also handed him a basket of vegetables.
"I'm sorry, I got the wrong person. We don't have much good stuff in the countryside. You are also fishermen, so there must be no shortage of fish and shrimps. My mother will send you some rice, vegetables and eggs."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand and did not answer, "Thank you very much, you are too polite. I was just dropping in. If anyone sees this, I will lend a hand and bring them back."
"It should be..."
The old lady of the Lu family and the fourth son of the Lu family used a mixture of barbarian and mandarin to say some words of thanks, but they insisted on telling him to accept it.
After some back and forth, he took the opportunity to accept it. The gift was exactly what they needed, and it was quite thoughtful. Ye Yaodong was also very happy.
"Then you're welcome, thank you. How are Uncle Lu and Lu Hongwei? Are they okay?"
"I went to hang the bottle in the afternoon. I just came back from hanging the water. It should be fine."
"Have you snatched the machine back? It seems that none of the young adults in the village have returned yet?"
The fourth child of the Lu family widened his eyes angrily, "I haven't come back yet, so I stayed at home with my dad and my brothers to hang out. The other brothers passed by and didn't know what was going on. Now I'm going to go to the next village to take a look."
"Then you hurry up and take a look."
They said a few more polite words and then left in a hurry.
Ye Yaodong looked at the big bag of rice, eggs and vegetables at his feet, and smiled and said to several people: "There is rice in the pot again. I won't worry about eating and drinking in the next few days."
"Did you feel that the little girl was staring at you just now?" The second cousin joked with a smile.
"Just take a look, who made me look good? After the jellyfish blood is boiled, let's cook the rice first. I'm going to wash the rice. I'll cook more today. My eldest and second brothers will come later, and I don't know if there is any.
How many people."
Several grown men started washing rice and picking vegetables to prepare dinner again. They had been tired and sweating all day, and they still had to cook when they came back. Fortunately, Father Ye had picked up all the water today and also collected a lot of firewood.
Otherwise they will be even more busy.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but wonder whether his eldest and second brothers had brought his two sisters-in-law to work. These grown men were really not good at cooking.
Taking advantage of the time when the rice was in the pot, he left other work to his three cousins. He went to the village for a stroll and bought a box of mosquito coils.
There are overgrown weeds around the Educated Youth Point. I didn’t know how many mosquitoes there were when I went to sleep last night. I almost sucked them dry.
Yesterday, he was too busy working too late. It was already eight or nine o'clock after finishing his meal. The village was pitch dark, so he didn't go around. He went to sea early in the morning, and it was only now that he had some free time.
.
The environment of this small fishing village is not much different from theirs. There are dirt roads everywhere, and occasionally there are a few stone paths. The gaps are overgrown with weeds. They have just been trampled on, making it look messy. Some of the paths have weeds on both sides.
They are all taller than humans.
The surrounding houses are all brick houses and adobe houses, unlike their stone houses, and some small houses don't even have roofs. I don't know if the roofs were lifted off because of this typhoon.
It was dinner time, and the roofs of every house were filled with smoke. You could smell the aroma of rice and the delicious taste of fish, shrimp, and crab everywhere.
Ye Yaodong was walking on the path, looking left and right. Above his head was a nest of small mosquitoes, spinning and flying around, following him wherever he went.
As he walked, he waved his arms to drive away the mosquitoes above his head, but the effect was not great, and sometimes there were mosquitoes in front of him. When he walked over, they would pounce on them, causing his facial features to wrinkle, his eyes to squint, and his mouth to move.
Dare to open it long, for fear of flying in.
Fortunately, he is not toothy and can keep his mouth closed.
That's what was annoying about summer. There were too many mosquitoes and they were very poisonous. Before he even took a few steps, his neck was already itchy.
Just when he finished buying the mosquito coils and was about to walk back, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer.
He walked out of the path out of curiosity and saw a large group of young and middle-aged men carrying poles and sticks with bruises and bruises on their faces, limping back and supporting each other. The women in the village heard the sound and came out to help their families back.
There were voices, curses, and wailings, and the originally quiet fishing village suddenly felt like it was exploding.
Ye Yaodong stood on the path and watched curiously. He didn't know whether they had won or lost, and they didn't come back until so late.
Shouldn't we take advantage of the opponent's people at sea, launch a sneak attack, steal the things and machines, and then come back early?
Maybe it took them a long time to gather their own people, right?
He stood on the path and watched for a while, until he saw someone pushing a machine on a cart at the end, with a bunch of jellyfish scattered on it. Although it was scattered everywhere in a mess, it was obvious that the thing was probably
Got it back.
After watching for a while, he went back directly.
The two villages were in conflict, which happened to help them attract most of the attention. The eyes of the villagers in the province were always focused on their group of outsiders.
For them, it should be considered a good thing. If they keep a low profile, they might be able to stay a few more days.
I don’t know if people from the next village will come back to reclaim the place?
From this point of view, it would be good for him if they had more fights...
Ah bah...can't think like that...
