Chapter 62 Du's Yellowtail
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the typhoon the night before yesterday seemed like a dream. Just walking from home to the beach, Ye Yaodong was already sweating profusely.
Think about it, it is still cooler during the typhoon. It would be better if the house does not leak.
The dazzling sunlight forced him to squint his eyes, "Oh~ there are quite a lot of people on the beach."
"After the typhoon, the tide receded again. Everyone knew to go out and try their luck. In addition, the day before yesterday, you took advantage of the typhoon to pick up a bass slide. The news spread throughout the village. There were not many people today, right?" Ye
Father frowned and said.
"Then do you still want to go down?"
"You're all here, let's go down and have a look."
Most of the people on the beach were women and children carrying buckets, as well as young people having nothing to do. Everyone said hello to everyone they met.
"have you eaten yet?"
"Are you here too?"
"What did you pick up?"
Well... these are all words...
Without stopping, Ye Yaodong pulled Lin Xiuqing away from the army and went straight to the reef area, the same area where the big cargo was found the day before yesterday. Let others pick up the small fish, shrimps and clams on the beach.
"Mom and dad, don't run away, wait for us..."
Ye Yaodong: This idiot!
He didn't look back, what were they waiting for?
The tide was just going out and had not yet reached the bottom of the reef. After running halfway, they could only follow the tide and walk slowly.
Ye Yaodong saw a big bass rolling with the waves in front of him. He quickly let go of Lin Xiuqing's hand, took off his rain boots, and rushed straight into the sea with the bucket.
Lin Xiuqing didn't see it. She didn't know why he suddenly rushed to the sea and shouted quickly: "What are you doing? The waves will come up again soon."
"Just wait there and don't move."
Ye Yaodong walked until the water was up to his waist before he stopped and looked for where the bass was. The waves kept rolling there and almost made him float away.
Just as a wave rolled up, he saw the bass again, just one meter in front of him to the right. He quickly moved forward, took a good look and fished it out with a bucket. Unfortunately, the fish was too big and the sea water was too big.
There were too many, and as soon as I fished them out, they jumped out again.
He took the bucket and chased after it. Just as the sea water floated, it swam in by itself...
Ye Yaodong held the bucket high over his shoulders and hurriedly walked to the shore. The waves hit him one after another. He was wet from head to toe and felt very comfortable.
Lin Xiuqing greeted him, "Why are you still running into the sea to catch it? How dangerous..."
"It's okay, I can swim, I'm not afraid, and I'm not too far away. The sea water is up to my chest and I can't drown." He handed the bucket to her again, "The big bass weighs four or five kilograms, how much is it worth?"
It’s a buck.”
"Well, be careful."
"Ah~ there is a big snail~"
The rising tide just pushed a snail to their feet. Lin Xiuqing picked it up happily, "I didn't expect that even if I stood still, snails would come to my door. There is meat inside, not empty. Is this a rattle snail?"
"Um!"
"Would you like to break it open and take a look?"
Ye Yaodong laughed loudly, "You thought you had another baby, right?"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, "He's so big!"
"I don't have this rattle snail, so I'd better sell it for money!"
"If you don't have it, you won't have it." She was not disappointed. To have a Melo Pearl was already an adventure. Picking up a large conch for nothing was not bad either.
The couple followed the tide and didn't pick up many other seafood, but they almost picked up a bucket of clams.
Ye Yaodong took out the sack in his pocket and shook it, "Pour it in!"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't stop laughing, "Why do you always carry a sack with you?"
"I had expected it. If I don't bring a sack, I'll see what you're going to do with it later."
In fact, his trip to the isolated island a few days ago made him remember it. Anyway, whenever he went out, no matter whether he needed it or not, he always carried a sack in his pocket.
"There are so many people on the beach, so it should be enough for us to bring two buckets."
"Where is enough? This bucket in my hand contains sea bass, and the bucket in your hand contains clams. If you encounter other goods, what do you want to put them in?"
"Okay, you are from the seaside, so everything you said is right!"
The two of them followed the tide down, picking up whatever they could and accepting everyone who came. It was not until the tide was about to recede to the reef area that Ye Yaodong discovered that his second brother and sister-in-law had also followed.
"What have you picked up, and why are you still carrying it in a sack?" Sister-in-law Ye stretched her neck curiously and glanced at their buckets and sacks, "Ah, what a big bass."
Clams in sacks are not unusual, they are all over the beach. They picked up almost a bucket, and others also picked up a lot.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "When the tide had not receded this far, Dongzi saw a bass and rushed into the sea to fish it out."
"Haha, Yaodong seems to be a lot more diligent recently. The prodigal son has turned around."
Ye Yaodong ignored her and walked to the reef area nearby. Someone was coming this way not far away, so he had to take a look around first.
Lin Xiuqing laughed and quickly followed.
When they saw Ye Yaodong bending down to grab two blue crabs, their eyes lit up and they ran over without falling behind.
"I caught two more blue crabs at once. Ah Hua, let's look for them quickly." Sister-in-law Ye was so envious. This was a big bass and a big blue crab. They hadn't caught any valuable ones yet.
Ye Yaohua smiled naively and started wandering around. After a while, he also caught one. Although it was not as big as Ye Yaodong's two just now, Sister-in-law Ye also had a smile on her face. It was good to have gained something.
"A Dong, A Dong, come on..." Lin Xiuqing suddenly shouted excitedly at this time, "What kind of fish is it? It's so big, it's still moving!"
Ye Yaodong was excited when he heard her and said it was so big. He hurried over and didn't even pick up the stone crab he just found.
"This? This is Du's amberjack? Isn't it?"
He looked a little unsure. After all, the ocean was so big and he didn't know all the fish, and some of the fish looked very similar. He felt that it was somewhat similar to the Du's amberjack he had seen.
"Where do I know each other? If you ask me, who should I ask?"
The back of the body is blue-gray to olive, the belly is silvery white to light brown, and there is another yellow longitudinal band on the side of the body. It should be the Duchen's amberjack!
There are more fish like this in the straits around the bay, but this one is a bit big.
"This should be Du Shi's amberjack! Ah Hua, come here and take a look!"
Ye Yaohua and the others also heard Lin Xiuqing's voice just now and were very curious. He walked over to take a look and said with some uncertainty, "This fish seems to be Du's amberjack. I seemed to have seen it when I was moving goods at the Yujing Wharf.
.”
"This... this fish should be more than one meter long, right? It looks like it weighs hundreds of kilograms?" Sister-in-law Ye was envious and jealous. Why did good luck come to them?
"Can this fish be sold for a lot of money?"
Sister-in-law Ye asked everything in her heart.
"You have to ask how much it will cost after you catch it. I heard that there are a lot of them in the bay area, and Japan also likes this fish very much and uses it to make sashimi!"
This is a fish as famous as salmon in Japan.
Thank you everyone for your votes and tips!
I’m so busy during the National Day, so it’s a bit difficult to update twice, but even if my eyes hurt when I write in the middle of the night, I will try my best to stabilize the two updates.
