Lin Xiuqing covered his face with five fingers and pushed him away. This shameless man was being serious for a moment but he lost his composure again.
Ye Yaodong grabbed her wrist and frowned, "Did you break your hand too?"
She pulled her hand back, "Yeah, it's okay, just a little bit of skin broken."
"Then go back and wash yourself. Don't look for it anymore. It will hurt more if you touch the sea water later."
"It's okay. I'm not hurt. It's still early and the tide has just receded. There must be something to pick up. I just need to stay out of the sea water. If I find anything, I'll call you. Didn't I do that before?"
"Don't be so stubborn..."
"Oh, that's nothing, I just fell down, keep looking," she continued to look seriously without taking it seriously, and stopped after just a few steps, "Move this stone, I saw a blue crab leg, it should be an orchid crab."
She was in high spirits, and Ye Yaodong couldn't do anything about her, so he had to let her be.
The two began to wander around the reef area again. At this time, a few drops of rain as big as beans fell. Just when they were about to go back, they suddenly disappeared again. The two had to continue looking.
After walking around for another two hours, Ye Yaodong finally said: "Okay, it's almost noon, let's go back."
"Won't you look for it a little longer?" Lin Xiuqing said reluctantly.
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Why, are you addicted to shopping overseas?"
"Yeah, a little bit. I feel like today's sea fishing was too easy. I got so much in just this morning. In the past, there weren't so many things to pick up during the high tides on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."
"There are actually a lot of seafood on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, but the villagers in our beach have visited it too many times every day, so there are fewer seafood. There are a lot of seafood on the isolated island. Well, let's go home. I'm starving and the sky is starting to get cloudy again."
"Okay, then let's wait until the tide is about to go out tomorrow."
"Haha~" He is really addicted. He shook his head and laughed, "Let's see how the typhoon will affect our sea area tomorrow. If the typhoon is strong, the tide will definitely not recede tomorrow, but will rise sharply, and there is a high possibility of heavy rainfall."
"That's right. Forget it then. We'll come back when the tide goes out and the rain stops."
"Um."
They also had a good harvest this morning. They harvested eight blue crabs, some big and some small, and even more stone crabs. In addition, there were three blue crabs, which were also quite hard and worth some money. There were also more than a dozen stone nine-eared croakers, large sea eels, golden pomfret, plum fish, spring fish, and some other small fish and shrimps. The most abundant thing was clams...
I guess if we pour it out from the sack, it can fill a large bucket!
Of course, the most special one is the Melo pearl, but we have to keep it for now. The sea bass and grouper in the bucket are very good.
Ye Yaodong was carrying a bucket in one hand and a sack in the other, while Lin Xiuqing followed him with a happy look on her face, and the two of them walked briskly towards home.
Unexpectedly, just when they had returned the scale and were halfway there, heavy rain began to pour down, and the two had no choice but to rush home quickly in the rain.
When they got home, they were soaked like drowned rats. However, they did not bother to take a shower or change clothes. Instead, they took an extra-large basin and poured out the goods in the sack.
When Ye's mother saw the couple looking like drowned rats, she couldn't help but mutter: "Where did you two come back from? You're still running around on a typhoon day..."
Mrs. Ye said in surprise: "Ah, you guys went fishing? You dared to go there on a typhoon day, you are really brave!"
Mrs. Ye also put down her work and said, "There are quite a lot of goods... huh? A lot of blue crabs..."
A bunch of children from the family gathered around, and the couple's eldest son Ye Chenghu shouted, "You guys went to the beach to play without taking us!"
"You little brat, you're everywhere. Should I take you to be swept away by the waves?"
"You all can go, why can't I? Humph!"
"Because the sea monster only takes young boys and girls! Are you afraid?"
“Don’t be afraid!”
"You little brat!"
Ye Yaodong laughed and scolded him, then ignored him and asked his mother, "Where's my dad? We caught a sea bass and grouper. Let him see how much it's worth!"
"Ah?" Only then did Ye's mother notice that there was a bucket at her feet. It was indeed a grouper, but she couldn't recognize the species.
When it comes to this kind of fish, men in the family are more knowledgeable and understand more.
"He is lying in the room. I will go and call him."
Sister Ye and Sister Ye have already started to help sort the fruits. They said enviously, "You have harvested a lot. I didn't expect there would be so much to pick up during a typhoon."
"Yes, some of these blue crabs are so big and hard, just these few can be sold for several dollars."
“That grouper must be more expensive!”
"I saw you running back and grabbing a bucket before running away. I asked you from behind but you didn't respond. It turns out you were going to use the bucket to catch grouper. You were so mean that you didn't even call us..."
Lin Xiuqing felt a little embarrassed by what Ye Ersao said. She didn't do it on purpose, she was just in a hurry, so she took it and ran away.
"I was just worried that the fish would die, so I didn't think too much about it." He clapped a few little hands and said, "Don't be naughty, or you will be bitten by crabs. Don't cry!"
Suddenly, the giant eel in the bucket swung its tail and hit the basin, scaring the children so much that they quickly stepped back!
"Ah~ That fish is so fierce!"
Ye Yaodong waved his hand and quickly drove them all away, "Go, go, go play over there, don't get in the way here!"
"Lululu~" A few little kids made faces and took advantage of the rain stopping again to run outside to play.
Ye's father was also called out by Ye's mother to take a closer look. He looked at the perch in the bucket and opened his mouth in surprise. "Where did you find it? We have this kind of grouper here?"
The third son has been lucky recently, hasn’t he? He even found such a rare fish, which is much more expensive than tiger grouper, which is just a common species among groupers.
"I found it in the reef area near Dongqiao Village. I just went to the beach to see how big the waves were. I saw the tide was receding, so I went down to take a look. The waves on the beach were getting higher and higher. I guess it was swept in by the waves."
"possible."
This grouper usually lives in the waters of Taiwan. Considering that they are very close to the islands on the other side of Taiwan, it makes sense that the fish was swept in by the waves.
"This is more expensive than tiger grouper. You'll have to ask Ah Cai for the exact price." Father Ye looked at the large basin on the ground again, "Pick these up as well. Take out the ones that can be sold and take them to Ah Cai's house. Keep the ones that are worthless for yourself."
"I don't know if he will accept the goods during the typhoon?"
"I bought it. His family can provide oxygen, so he won't die. It will be the same if he sells it after the typhoon."
"Um."
If it weren't for the fact that there were no passing cars during the typhoon, making travel inconvenient, and his family had no way to get oxygen, he would have wanted to carry the bucket to the hotel in town to ask if they would accept it, so as to avoid being cheated.
