Full of goods
The four people worked together to make a total of 5 sacks, 2 bags of spat, 1 big bag of mussels, 2 mixed bags of sea melon seeds, bergamot, snails, and ox eyes, and a full bucket of razor clams and small abalone.
The chicken feet and turtle eggs were put into a bucket, and the crabs and fish were poured into bamboo baskets, otherwise there wouldn't be enough.
As for the blue crab, I tied its legs and threw it directly on the boat. There was really nothing to put it in.
The whole boat was full of cargo and piles of sacks. Fortunately, the tide was high. The tide had already overflowed the outermost rock wall. They deliberately waited until the tide had completely risen before preparing to leave. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to push the boat.
.
"Dongzi, you don't mind that it's too much or too much trouble. Isn't it just a waste of time to bring so many things back and send them around if you can't finish them all?"
After Aguang helped carry the last bag of shellfish onto the boat, he wiped his sweat. This bag was not light, and the shells were already heavy.
Xiaoxiao also echoed: "Yeah, I think it's much better if I bring two sacks. Fortunately, one sack of spat can only open an oyster weighing more than ten pounds. I have a lot of people in my family, so I can eat every meal.
It’s almost enough to eat for two or three days.”
"It has to be delivered everywhere. My mother told me to dig out more meat and bring it back. She has to dig out the meat and dry it, then save it and eat it slowly. Otherwise, there are so many mouths and workers in the house, which will consume a lot of money."
Ah Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Your mother is really good at calculating and calculating, and she doesn't take too much trouble. How long will it take to dig out so much?"
"There are many people in the family who can work. With three daughters-in-law and a daughter, it's not too hard for her, right?"
"That's right, it's better to have more sons and more people to work."
Ye Yaodong cast a sideways glance, thinking that when he gets older, he will know how his daughter is doing.
My son, alas, he will all go to work at his in-laws’ house by then~
"Have everything been loaded onto the boat? Don't miss it. If it does, I won't come here specially."
"It's probably nothing. Our stuff has been carried on the boat a long time ago. If we leave it behind, it's yours. Don't worry. Hey, let's sail the boat."
Ye Yaodong glanced at Azheng sideways, "Don't you think you're missing something?"
"What? No?" Azheng glanced around the boat uncertainly, "No, I brought them all. I just have a bucket and two sacks."
"Then I'm going to sail. Don't ask me to come back to get the fire tongs later. Let your mother give you a good beating."
"Ah, the fire tongs? Yes, where is my fire tongs?"
He immediately climbed out of the boat and ran to the beach to look for it. It turned out that when he was helping Dongzi carry the shells, he landed on the rocks. They were all gray and black. No wonder he didn't notice them.
"Hey, I found it, I'm going back."
A Guangwai sat on the boat and laughed at him, "Is that a slap in the face?"
"Hmph..."
Ah Zheng snorted twice and stopped talking.
Ye Yaodong checked again and made sure nothing was left behind before sailing back.
By this time, the sun was almost setting, and he was eager to return home. He had been out all day and was quite tired.
His father should have arrived home by this time, right? After all, the tide has been rising for a while.
The 1,000-pound sea wolf fish at noon had already fed everyone's stomachs. On the way back, everyone just wanted to get home quickly and didn't want to bother with casting the net anymore.
Trawling the sea is no easier than trawling the sea, especially when you have to climb up the steep reef walls. Fortunately, the tide has receded and the rocks are all exposed, so you don't have to worry about slipping and being swept into the sea by the waves.
If it comes at any other time except spring tide, the risk factor doubles.
By the time he rowed the boat close to the pier, there were already many boats of all sizes parked around the pier. He had arrived late, and he didn't know if there were any other boats that had not docked yet.
After the boat was docked, they carried the cargo in pairs, carrying bags of spat off the boat and placing them on the shore.
Because it was packed in sacks this time, people coming and going at the dock couldn't see what was inside, and some people with good intentions came up to ask.
They all said it was nothing.
It’s not like they are one of them, so why explain it so clearly?
They didn't say anything, and the others just muttered a few mysterious words out of curiosity...and then went about their own business. No one was so free.
After they borrowed a cart from Ah Cai, they loaded the things on the cart and went to the boat to pick up a few buckets and put them on the cart.
Because he thought that there were some valuable items in these bags of shellfish, Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry and sent the blue king crab to Ah Cai now, intending to take it home and send it all together after everything was sorted out.
A group of people happily delivered them to their homes one by one according to their distance. Ye Yaodong was the third one, and Aguang's family lived in the back mountain, which was the farthest.
After arriving at Ye's house, the whole family was waiting for him to be alone. The sun had already set and he hadn't returned yet, fearing that something would happen to him when he went out to sea alone for the first time.
Lin Xiuqing was also worried and frightened, and kept sitting at the door and looking around.
It wasn't until I saw him and A Guang that I quickly shouted into the room and went to greet them.
"Why are you coming back so late? If you come back late next time, tell me, the whole family will be worried about you."
"The four of us are going together. What are we afraid of? There were too many shellfish today and it took a little more time, so we are a little late."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
After Ye Mu came out, she saw that the whole car was filled with sacks and a huge blue crab, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Why are these blue crabs so big? How many kilograms are they? More than three kilograms, right? Why did you bring them back and didn't take them to Ah Cai for him to collect?"
"Don't worry, there are other things in the sack. We'll sort them out later and take them over together. Now let's move the things in."
"Oh, okay, boss and second brother, please help carry these sacks to the backyard."
"Hey good!"
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked envious. Why did Dongzi go out and not come back empty-handed? He actually harvested such a big blue crab today.
Second Sister-in-law Ye said sarcastically at the side, "Yaodong is really the right person to buy this little wooden boat."
Ye Yaodong didn't raise his eyebrows or reply to her words. He only said to his eldest and second brother: "There are two bags belonging to A Guang. Don't move them by mistake."
"got it."
It was dinner time at this time, and every household was eating. There were only fishing nets at the door, and no one was there, so it was quite quiet.
After moving the goods, Ye Mu smiled and asked A Guang to stay and have dinner with her.
"No, I'll go back and eat."
"You're welcome. You can eat at my house. I've been busy all day with the chopsticks. Let's fill our stomachs first." Ye Yaodong pulled him into the house to eat without any explanation.
"I have a big appetite..."
"Can you still make my family poor just because of you?"
Mother Ye also smiled and said: "Yes, you only have two younger sisters at home. At this point, they may have eaten, so you can eat here."
A Guang couldn't refuse, so he had to shamelessly stay for dinner, thinking that he would go to their new home tomorrow to help out more.
