MTL - Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982-Chapter 447 escaped scallop
Although they are not piled up like a hill, their beach area is not small, and the number of them forming a coastline is also very impressive. No wonder his mother is so excited to come directly to dig them up.
In this era, the amount of scallops caught was relatively small, and later on, people gradually raised them, and the output increased.
It is rare to see scallops at the seaside in daily life, not to mention that it has washed into a coastline like today, which is simply too spectacular.
You can pick up a bunch of them casually.
Whether it’s worth it or not is another matter. It’s also worth it if it’s large in quantity. For example, starfish are cheap as hell, but they’re in large quantities. It’s worth picking up a few yuan a day, which is better than working part-time for a day. It’s not so easy to make money these days.
What's more, the scallops are also valuable.
No wonder there are no good goods left at the door, and they were not picked up in time. It is one thing to be swept back into the sea by the waves, or it may be a small dam built by these shells. A lot of tide aftermath reduces the washing up of fish goods.
Because the beach has been scoured by sea water all year round, a lot of sand, silt and various stones have accumulated on the coast.
After Ye Yaodong was surprised, he searched for his father and mother, and saw his parents sticking out their buttocks at the diagonally opposite corner of him, struggling to fish those shells from the shore into the dustpan in front of him with both hands. The dustpan was full, and she immediately poured it into the basket.
And so are the others.
Everyone wants to take advantage of the dawn and the villagers have not yet come to the beach to watch the tide, so they can go back a little more, and they don't care about picking.
Ye Yaodong squatted down next to his mother, and looked at all kinds of shells, but scallops were the most.
Some of these scallops have meat, some have only shells, and many other shells only have shells, and the same is true for juvenile shellfish, not all of them have meat.
I don’t know how much of the dustpan in his mother’s arms is empty, but at this moment, how can everyone have time to sort out which ones have meat and which ones don’t?
You can only put it back as much as possible first, and the one you put back is your own.
He also saw a lot of scallops jumping in the water, fleeing into the sea following the rolling waves.
Although I have seen diving on the bottom of the sea before, it is still funny to watch it again. At this moment, a group of scallops are still fleeing into the sea.
Although the typhoon has passed, the tide is still raging. The scallops that returned to the sea disappeared after a while.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me put it on, and then pick it up slowly after it's all put back on. If you take a step slower, the whole village will come."
There was an octopus that was washed up by the waves. Ye Yaodong trotted over to grab it, his arms were immediately entangled, and there was a large conch by his feet.
He picked them all up and said: "I'll go back and get the bucket and gloves."
There are only two bamboo dustpans and one dustpan for sweeping the floor and collecting garbage in the house. The dustpan was made by myself, and it was used to hold sand and gravel when the house was built. After the house was built, the family was divided into two.
I just came out in a hurry, and I forgot to wear gloves. The edges of these shells are very sharp. If you are not careful, your hands will be cut and bleed. You have to wear gloves for protection.
"I told you a lot of scallops before. It took me a long time to run out, and I didn't bring anything. I have to wait for others to tell me everything. How old are you..."
Ye Yaodong was already used to his old lady being picky about everything and nagging about everything, so he just ran back as if he didn't hear anything.
Woke up in a daze early in the morning, how could he react so quickly and think so thoroughly, not to mention seeing is believing, he hadn't seen it himself before, so how could he know what to bring.
When he ran back, Lin Xiuqing was also running out wearing a raincoat. Ye Yaodong quickly reminded her to bring gloves and tools, and the two ran back again.
When the couple ran to the beach, a few people from the village also walked in twos and threes to the beach to see how big the waves were, and also wanted to see if there was anything to pick up. When they found someone loading shells at the edge of the tide, they immediately He ran to the house and called for someone to bring things to pack.
Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up when she saw the long curved line made of shells by the beach.
"So many? They were scattered a few years ago, and there will be more after the tide goes down, but there are not as many as today. They all washed up on the shore."
"Just pick it up, who knows when the typhoon will come? Yesterday was also very windy and turbulent."
"Is there any meat?"
"Look there!" Ye Yaodong pointed at the scallops that were running away in the sea, "It's running so fast, do you think there is any meat?"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she saw many scallops swimming rapidly opening and closing in the muddy water at the shoal, following the aftermath of the tide and running towards the sea, running very fast and nimbly. It seems to have grown legs.
If Ye Yaodong hadn't pointed it out to her, she wouldn't have noticed that the sea water was too yellow and muddy.
She asked in amazement: "This scallop can still run?"
"Of course."
Otherwise, why does the company that raises scallops raise them every year and lose money every year, and tell everyone when it’s time to harvest, bang~ the scallops ran away~
"Pick it up quickly, there will be more people in a while, be careful, just squat behind the shell and don't go forward."
"Why."
Excited, Lin Xiuqing quickly squatted down to pick up the bucket, stretched out both hands to insert the shells into the shells, and then pulled them hard into her arms. It felt so good to fill a bucket with three or two strokes.
"What will you do if you don't fight..."
As soon as she filled a bucket and poured it into the basket, she wanted to turn around and ask him, how would he fill it if he didn't have a bucket?
I saw him stick a stick in the shallow water, and he picked up a stone to knock there. He wanted to insert the stick a little deeper, which was weird.
"What are you doing?"
"You pretend to be your own, and you will find out later."
Ye Yaodong inserted a stick at the side, ran to the front and inserted another stick, and then moved forward to insert a third stick.
Three points are spaced apart, the head and tail are about seven or eight meters long, and the diameter of the spread of these two nets is only about ten meters.
Mother Ye turned her head and saw it, and cursed, "Seriously, I told you to do some work, what are you running around for? I didn't see that there are several people coming to the shore, and you are still running there to play? You can't do anything." Counting on you, I've been here for a long time, and I haven't seen you picking up two..."
"You fish for yours, what are you talking about?"
Ye Yaodong was busy with himself. He always listened to what his mother said, and it went in one ear and out the other.
After planting the bamboo in the shallow water, he drenched the water and inserted the bamboo a little further into the sea. The bamboo in the sea had to be inserted deeper.
Although the typhoon has passed and the waves are not as violent as the churning, the sea is still full and he dare not go too far.
After a while of beating and beating, he tied the fishing net that he had just brought out and threw on the shore to a wooden stick, so as not to be washed away by the waves.
Lin Xiuqing has been paying attention to his actions, and it is even more strange to see that he actually spread a fishing net in the sea and lowered it.
When he came back and wanted to get the bamboo after using up the stick, she quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
"you guess!"
"I forgot to ask you just now, where did those two fishing nets come from? I didn't see them during the day yesterday. Didn't you just bring the ground cage back to wash?"
"Landa next door and Zhou Laoer took their fishing nets yesterday, and later they sent their family back in a hurry, and they didn't bother to take the fishing nets back. My father and I were afraid of being washed away by the waves, so we took them back to the yard first. Take it again."
Unexpectedly, the waves rolled up all kinds of shellfish in the sea. When he was about to go back to get the bucket, he saw the fishing net in the corner of the yard, so he had an idea and brought it over, and also hugged a few sticks and bamboo.
"Then what are you doing with the fishing nets underneath?"
As soon as the question was finished, Lin Xiuqing thought of the scene of the scallop running away just now, and quickly reacted, opening her mouth in an O shape in surprise.
Then he said immediately: "Are you going to lay out a net of scallops?"
"That's right, this thing can run away without legs. Just spread a net and let it fall into the net. The other side of the sea is a little higher, and it can't get out after it hits it."
She looked at him in surprise, "That's easy..."
"It's easy to save trouble, that is, you can only net a few meters in front of you, and there are also those who strayed in from the side and hit the waves. The number will not be many, but it can be guaranteed that most of them have meat."
It can’t compare to their speed in the dustpan, but fortunately, the nets are basically live and fleshy scallops, and they can also net some fish, shrimps and crabs washed in by the waves.
"That's okay, it's easy to look at, and it's not troublesome."
"Um."
The main thing is that you don’t need to worry about opening the net. When everyone has almost picked up, he can put the net away.
He drew a gourd in the same way, and spread another net aside.
The waves rushed up one after another. Even though the typhoon had passed, the waves had not receded and were still surging. He was on the shore, but it was a little difficult to set up the net, and it took a little effort to tie it.
Thinking that there are still 4 rows of cage nets at home, he ran home to push them again.
Fortunately, he piled it on top of the cart without moving it after washing it two days ago, and let it take a fresh water bath, so he didn't have to bother moving it around at this critical time.
He pushed the ground cages to the beach with a cart, and then moved them down one by one, and prepared to place them horizontally on the beach.
"I'll fix it, don't get too close, there are still waves, you just put shells on the shore."
"Oh well."
Thanks to the leader of the "Unsatisfactory high school grades" big brother who gave a reward. I was going to add an update at night, but the second chapter was repeatedly polished and delayed for a long time. I can only arrange an update tomorrow.
