Chapter 452: Get the price first (two chapters combined into one)(2/2)
"Why is it always me who gets beaten..."
"The most unbehaved thing is you...you didn't take the lead...if I don't hit you, who will I hit? Get over here..."
"don't want……"
Ye Chenghe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother chasing his elder brother, while Ye Jingjing shrank her neck and stood silently in the corner, for fear of being hurt.
When Ye Chenghai ran to the old lady, he found the old lady sitting there. He had no place to hide, and the old lady had no intention of protecting him, so he hid towards Ye's father.
Father Ye doesn't care if his daughter-in-law beats his son, he himself beats his son.
Ye Chenghai hid beside Ye's father twice, and when he saw that he was about to be caught, he hid behind Ye Yaodong again.
She even grabbed his clothes at the back and pulled him back and forth to dodge, shouting, "Uncle Third, help me~ help me~"
Ye Yaodong ignored the farce next to him. He was pouring the scallops out of the fishing net, but there was an extra tail on the back that kept pulling on his clothes, affecting his work. He was annoyed to death and didn't worry at all.
He turned around, carried Ye Chenghai directly to Sister-in-law Ye, and ignored him.
Ye Chenghai was caught off guard. After being shocked, he howled loudly, "Ah... Third uncle... Mother... Oh~ oh~ I mistakenly trusted you, Third uncle~"
"It's so noisy, sister-in-law, please give me a few more blows."
Ye Chenghai looked at him with tears in his eyes, "You still ask my mother to beat me. That's too much. You don't show loyalty. I will never go to your house to play again."
"That's just right. I just need some peace and quiet. If the tide goes out tomorrow, don't look for me."
"Ah?" Ye Chenghai also thought of the last time his third uncle helped him hide his private money, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore, silently accepting the baptism of the whip.
Seeing Ye Chenghai being beaten, the three members of Ye Yaohua's family gloated and laughed without brotherhood.
But sadness always comes so suddenly, especially Ye Chengjiang, who was smiling the happiest, suddenly received a slap on the back of the head.
"Are you doing things there with your eyes closed? You can't do anything well. You just throw them around. If you have the nerve to laugh at others, you will be the next one to cry."
Ye Chengjiang, the three brothers and sisters also became honest instantly.
Ye Yaodong saw that none of the children in this litter were worried, and then looked at his own two. Comparing these two, they didn't seem to be in need of spanking.
After pouring out all the scallops from both nets, he handed them to his father to bag them.
There is no need to choose the size. Anyway, you will pull it outside the dock and pick it up before weighing it to prevent someone from fishing in troubled waters and mixing in empty shells.
Then he sorted out the fishing net and took it back to others.
Lin Xiuqing spoke up at this time: "When you returned the fishing net, you took two watermelons over there. Why did you borrow someone else's fishing net? Just tell me when you took it over."
"I know."
At this time, Mother Ye muttered, "You saved someone last night, but they didn't come to thank you..."
"Why are you so anxious? People may not be able to make a move. Didn't you push out the door early in the morning and rush to the beach without even bothering to eat breakfast? Didn't you just push all the goods back now?"
Father Ye also echoed: "That is, one code equals another code. Saving people is saving people. You have to be grateful for using other people's things."
"Are you mistaken? The fishing nets are not those of the four who fell into the water. How can they be related? A sensible person will naturally come to thank you when he is free."
"I just said this, and you just replied to me ten times. I didn't say you shouldn't."
Seeing that they were about to start a quarrel without even saying a few words, the old lady quickly changed the subject and said, "Dongzi and your father haven't eaten yet. Let's go back to eat first, and then come back to work after eating. Your mother and the others also went back to eat just now. You
How can a young man endure being hungry..."
Her eyes were looking at Ye Yaodong from beginning to end, and it was obvious that Ye's father was just passing by.
"I know, let's get busy here first."
"It won't be finished in a while, you go and eat first..."
"I got it. I'll return the net first, but don't do it either. Xiaojiu is still sleeping in the room. You go in and help take a look. She can turn over now, but don't let her roll under the bed."
"Hey, okay, okay..." The old lady quickly put down what she was doing and went into the house.
The old woman is not afraid of working, but she is afraid that her family will not let her work, making her feel that she is a useless person and has no use.
The car was borrowed and before it was returned, Ye Yaodong put the sorted net in the bamboo basket again, then went home and picked up two watermelons and put them in another basket, carrying Chaolan Dahe on a pole.
Walking to Zhou Laoer's house.
Several families were sitting at their doorsteps, gathering around to sort out shells. After seeing him come to return the fishing nets, the people who fell into the water expressed their gratitude one after another, saying that they were busy and could not find time to come and thank him.
After Ye Yaodong was polite for a while, he chatted with them a few more words to satisfy their curiosity and told them how many kilograms of scallops were caught in the fishing net before returning to his home.
As for whether they would regret it? What thoughts did they have? Or what were they saying behind their backs? He wouldn't speculate. Anyway, on the surface, everyone was good neighbors.
When he returned to the door after returning the fishing net, the cart had been returned, and he and his father went into the house without stopping to carry the fish.
Last night everyone sorted through it, and kept two baskets of the worthless ones, and picked out five baskets of the ones that could be sold, especially the large white pomfret, which was half of the basket, and the golden-eye seabream lying on top, which looked particularly eye-catching.
, white and red, the taste of money is particularly strong.
"Mom, there are still two baskets of worthless fish, shrimps and crabs at home. You can wait and see if you want to send some to relatives. There is a red light in front, and there is no sun now. I don't know when it will come out.
The sun, even if there is no weather, it will get stinky, so you can do it yourself while it’s still fresh.”
"I know, I'll pick up a few and send them to your aunts and uncles later. I haven't been out to sea for a few days, and I don't know when the waves will subside. It's just right to give them two bowls of food."
Just as Ye Yaodong finished lifting the fish, shrimps and crabs and was about to lift the scallops, the old lady came out with porridge. In addition to mustard, there were two specially fried poached eggs on it, which looked particularly appetizing.
"I told you to eat early, but you haven't eaten for a long time. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, otherwise you'll be busy and you won't know when."
"Why did you bring it out..." Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady's hand shaking the porridge and quickly took it, "I'll eat it now... I'll eat it now..."
Mother Ye pursed her lips and muttered, "I'm almost 20 now, and I'm still chasing after food..."
Ye Yaodong pulled it quickly and ate it in big mouthfuls, until he bottomed out after a few licks.
As a result, the old lady stretched out her hand to touch his stomach and muttered, "I haven't eaten all morning, so I just have a bowl of porridge. Is it full? My stomach is still flat after eating. I'll go in and give you some more. Eat more."
…”
"No, no, just rest on your belly. We're going to have lunch soon. If we eat now, we won't be able to eat lunch again."
"How old is he to still be hungry? Don't bother, don't get in the way, he's busy, do you think he is still a three-year-old child?" Father Ye couldn't stand the old lady's caring look and said a few words.
Ye Yaodong stuffed the bowls and chopsticks into the old lady's arms, sent her into the house, and pushed the trolley outside the dock.
Along the way, there were a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs scattered along the way. It seemed that a lot of seafood was rolled up outside the pier last night. Even if everyone went to the beach early in the morning to carry shells, the goods outside were not cheap.
Who, was picked up by whom?
At this moment, there are only some worthless and unsightly goods left, which are really cheap for the ducks pecking next to them. They are in a good mood today and can have a hearty meal.
The father and son pushed the trolley outside the pier, but they couldn't pick up a single fish that caught their eyes. They were all wiped out by the wind and clouds.
There were also many seabirds flying around the shore. From time to time, seabirds would swoop down and pick up small fish on the ground. Ye Yaodong couldn't help but wonder if all the fish that had been blown up by the waves on the beach had been caught in these.
In the mouth of a seabird?
That would be a waste of resources.
"Dad, Dongzi, you are coming out too." Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also sold out the goods they picked up last night and came towards them with their carts.
Looking at Ye Yaohua's cheerful face, he was smiling from ear to ear. The price must have been very considerable, but Ye Yaopeng didn't have such a big smile.
"Yes, how much do you sell them for? Are you just selling the ones you picked up yesterday? How much does a pound of scallops cost? Do you have any questions?"
Ye Yaohua smiled happily, "We haven't sorted out the pile of shells, and we don't have scallops to sell. We just sell the fish, shrimp and crabs we picked up last night. There are typhoons in the past few days, and there are relatively few seafoods on the market, so the prices are pretty good."
"As for scallops, they are said to be 37 cents per pound, and the small ones are 30 cents."
Ye Yaopeng added: "But I heard from Ah Cai that this was the price before the typhoon a few days ago. Last night there was a typhoon and the waves suddenly hit so many scallops and the quantity was so large, the price may drop a lot," he said.
You need to collect it first and take it to the market for a look before you can set a price."
"He said that the quantity of these scallops is so large that no matter which company receives the goods, the price will definitely be the same, so everyone can feel free to give the goods to him."
Father Ye nodded, "It's normal. There are so many of them all of a sudden, so it's normal for the price to drop."
"Push it over first, you still have to pick. There is no one at the dock right now, and everyone is still picking at home, so there is no need to queue. Sell it quickly and go back to continue working."
Ye Yaodong could already imagine how crowded the pier would be in the afternoon.
Ah Cai was surprised when he saw that they had brought over a sack of scallops early, "I heard that you set the net on the beach early in the morning. Are these collected from the fishing net?"
"right."
"Young people have good brains. This is a step ahead! People have been picking up shells at home for a long time, but you have already sent them over first."
Ye Yaodong suddenly had an idea, "I sent it here early, can you arrange to send it away early? Take it and sell it early, while there are still few on the market. Can the price be higher?"
When everyone sends them all over in the afternoon, the quantity is so large, the price will definitely drop by then.
Ah Cai smiled with a vulgar look on his face and tapped him twice with his index finger, "My mind is spinning pretty fast."
"Is that so?"
"Well, other people just sent a lot of fish to you. They all live by your beach. You guys actually braved the typhoon to go out to pick up fish yesterday. You were so brave. You deserve to be rich. It just so happens that the goods are plentiful, so okay
Send it away with a tractor, and take advantage of the typhoon weather when there is less seafood, so you can sell it at a good price."
Ye Yaodong was also happy after getting the affirmative answer.
It is indeed wise to set a net in the sea to catch live scallops. If you are one step ahead, you can sell the more than 100 kilograms of scallops at a good price.
