Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye waited until their men had carried all the goods off the ship and all the goods they wanted to keep for drying on the carts, then they asked Ye Yaodong to help them take a look at the ship.
They had to send a cartful 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 and if they were naughty or mischievous?
Ye Yaodong nodded, it was just a matter of convenience.
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, and I don’t know if they can be busy at night, until what time they have to work, and whether they can go out to sea with them again at night?
The two sisters-in-law really worked hard to make money.
He also had some itchy hands. In fact, digging these shells on the reef wall gave him a sense of accomplishment, especially if he discovered something unexpectedly, 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 puffed away his smoke. He would say hello to people he knew well and look directly into the distance if he didn't know them well.
There was a pile of crushed cigarette butts at his feet. He didn't even count how many he had smoked. Anyway, he had no time to smoke while working during the day. After finishing his work, he made up for it in his spare 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 go 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 if I could 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 big basket, the two climbed into their own boat. The tide was high when he came back. The water level had risen, and the fishing boat did not need to park outside, but could 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 guys 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. You are tired of fish and shrimp every day, so 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 seaweeds 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..."
"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 open it here. They had to transport it home first. They didn’t know if they could finish digging the shells on the boat at night. If they couldn’t finish digging, they could only save them for digging tomorrow morning.
.
When the digging was almost finished, he could send the boat to Brother Aseng and let him slowly split it open and add some 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 they lifted the boat up, they 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, when they saw the mistake, they jumped back quickly, 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. White insects were crawling inside the holes. There were small holes in every hole. The middle of the fault looked quite dense.
The women around 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, put it in the bucket, and take it back later. Wait for the rest.
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 stuff is very good, but the disgusting stuff is also really disgusting. When I get back later, I will peel off the stone fish and stew it to replenish it. It will relieve my shock.
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, so I coded 2,000 and released it first, and will make up the rest tomorrow.
