Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 98 My Damn Little Red Hand
"Let's not talk about it, there is no ice on the boat, so it's not easy to keep it fresh. While this sea pig is still fresh, I'm going to row back quickly. It looks like it weighs thirty or forty catties, and it can be sold for a few dollars. Slow down Hurry up and throw the Internet cafe here."

"Ah? Is the isolated island not going?" Ah Zheng's heart was not dead.

"I can't go. I visited several small islands, but the tide hasn't receded. It's quite steep. It's not easy to go to the island, and the rocks are also slippery. It's not safe. Let's wait until the 15th day of the new year."

The three had no choice but to give up.

"I'm leaving, you guys do a good job!"

"alright."

When he went to Ah Cai with two buckets, Ah Cai also praised him for his good luck, and he was able to catch a sea pig with just one bucket.

The scientific name of the sea pig is the finless porpoise. It is a chubby, chubby creature with strange tentacles. When it grows up, it can be about 150 centimeters long and weigh two to three hundred catties. Its body is lead gray or off-white.

The one he picked up was considered small, probably only about seventy to eighty catties.

As soon as Ah Cai checked the scale, he was only 72 catties.

"This is 3 cents a catty for you, okay? This is already the highest price I can give, don't bargain with me..."

Every time he sells private goods, as long as there are good things, Ye Yaodong will talk about the price, and Ah Cai is also used to asking.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Okay, this time there is no bargaining, just as much as you say."

Anyway, it was picked up for nothing, and he was very happy.

Only then did Ah Cai calculate the price with peace of mind, "A total of 23 yuan and 7 cents, don't say I'm stingy, I will directly credit you 6 yuan and 23 cents."

"Okay, Brother Cai is really generous." Ye Yaodong happily put his shoulders on his shoulders, watching him count.

"Do you want to sell it stupidly? It costs 2 cents a catty."

"This is not for sale, take it home to pickle the salted fish."

"It's up to you, take the receipt."

He happily took the receipt, and after checking the numbers, he folded it and put it in his breast pocket, and patted it casually, "Let's go."

After bringing the fish home, Mother Ye happened to be cooking. Seeing the three stupid fish he brought back, she didn't say anything, and directly killed them.

"Mom, how long will the house be built?"

"Looking at the progress, it should take about seven or eight days. If it weren't for changing the location and laying the foundation again, our house is probably finished."

"Well, when I came back, I saw that piece of land. The area was reduced and it was covered."

"I don't care about it, it has nothing to do with us anyway. It is estimated that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, your three rooms will be completed."

"How much does it cost to build three rooms? It has been windy for several days in the past month, and the machine has been repaired twice, and I lost more than ten days."

"It's more than 1000. It's very economical. You don't need to spend money on vegetables. Only rice costs money. The materials are all transported by workers to the mountains and rivers. Only the sand costs a little money. We only need to build one floor. To buy red bricks, just use the stones excavated from the mountain, but the wages of the workers are very high, 1 yuan and 5 cents a day for rough work, and the master who cuts the stones costs 2 yuan and 3 yuan. "

Ye Yaodong nodded, then the money spent on trawling nets and selling large yellow croakers during this period is almost enough to build a house.

"Then I'll go."

"Well, by the way, take this barrel of tea that has been cold."

"understood."

Mother Ye felt a little distressed when she saw the sunburnt face of her third son. The first month or two seemed to be fair and white. During this time, he really did work a lot.

"If you feel tired, you can rest at home for a while, and bring food with me later."

"It's okay, I didn't do anything in the morning, so I went to put a ground cage." He said and walked out.

After such a long time, he has already adjusted his mentality after his rebirth. From the beginning, he was a little uncomfortable and needed to change his personality slowly. Now his family is used to watching him wield a hoe.

He wants to be down-to-earth, work hard to make money, and live a good life.

When they arrived at the homestead, Lin Xiuqing happened to be drinking tea to quench her thirst. He secretly told her that he had picked up a sea pig at sea in the morning and sold it for 23 yuan and 8 cents. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"Really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? The list is in my pocket. I forgot to take it back to the house just now. It shouldn't be lost. I'll show you tonight."

Lin Xiuqing nodded happily while holding the tea bowl, Ye Yaodong took her hand, drank the tea she hadn't finished in one gulp, and drank another bowl, then the two went to work together, talking and laughing .

A discerning person could see that the relationship between the couple has improved a lot early in the morning, and they even have to do a lot of work, and they are still smiling so happily.

That night it was Ye Yaodong's turn to go to sea with Father Ye.

Once every three days, sometimes he couldn't go because of the wind, or the machine was broken. In the past month, he didn't go there a few times.

If he continued to follow his father after the separation, he really might as well do it alone. Although he made a lot of money by trawling nets, it would take four people to share, and his parents also provided him with a small boat, which was enough.

As usual, I got up at 1 o'clock at night and went to sea after eating a full meal.

When they went out, because it was dark, Father Ye was the one who sailed the boat, and he also set the first net. It wasn't until dawn that he asked Ye Yaodong to set up the net.

After this period of time, Father Ye also understood that among several people, the third son was the luckiest, as long as he dragged the net, there would be one or two good fish, or a whole net of fish.

Ye Yaodong retracted the twisted net, and dragged it vigorously from the slide to the deck, "Ah, it's a whole net of white pomfret, my damn little red hand, I'm really good at pulling."

Father Ye glanced at him, he seemed to be at ease, but his mouth was still out of tune, "Continue to release the net."

"Father, I have a hunch that our next catch will definitely be white pomfret!"

"You think the school of fish is Chinese cabbage?"

"Would you like to take a gamble?"

"What are you betting on?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled: "Bet on two packs of Friendship cigarettes, I saw that you have exactly two packs in your pocket."

Father Ye covered his pockets on both sides and stared blankly, "I don't want to gamble, I just managed to hide some private money, and it's only enough to buy these two bags."

"It's okay, maybe you can still win two packs, and if you lose, don't you still have hookah at home to smoke, or you can smoke shredded tobacco with a paper roll."

"No, stop worrying about my cigarettes and work quickly!"

"Ok."

After hope failed, he could only go to sail honestly.

Father Ye also thinks that the second net may still be white pomfrets. There are indeed a lot of white pomfrets recently, and there are a lot of white pomfrets piled up at the buying point yesterday.

Sure enough, the second net is still white pomfret, but mixed with a lot of orchid crabs and stone crabs.

Many white pomfrets were cut off by orchid crabs, or the surface was not good, which is a pity.

Ah Cai will not accept these bad-looking and broken pomfrets, they can only take them back and eat them by themselves.

"Let me choose here, and you go to sail the boat and release the net."

He also dragged around for the second net, but for the third net he simply followed his own mind and drove out. Anyway, there is a compass, as long as it doesn’t run too far, it’s fine.
