In fact, it was because of the house building period that Ye's mother had a slightly different opinion of Ye Yaodong's friends. In addition, today a group of people went seafood diligently instead of idling around, and brought back so many seafood, so she invited them so enthusiastically.
"There are so many goods on the isolated island? You brought a lot last time, and this time even more. You carried several sacks back home. Third brother, can you take me to see it next time?" Ye Huimei asked hopefully while eating.
"The sun is very strong, why are you going with them? Be careful not to get tanned and won't be able to get married!"
"You talk as if I won't be exposed to the sun if I'm helping out around the house! Look at my arms and face. My face is obviously darker." Ye Huimei wore long sleeves specifically for work. Now she lifted her sleeves to pick up some food. Her arms were still snow-white, but compared to her face, her face was obviously several shades darker.
Ah Guang glanced at the dazzlingly white arm, was stunned for a moment, then looked at her face and muttered to himself, "It's not that dark either."
There were probably too many children at the table and they were making too much noise, so no one heard what he said. Instead, they heard Ye Yaodong say, "If you're afraid of the sun, why do you want to come with me? Your home is relatively good, but being on an isolated island all day with no shade will make you peel off! Look at my face!"
She pouted, "You just don't want to take me with you anyway."
"I just don't want to take you with me! We are all men, why would you come with us? It's not even convenient for us to pee!"
Ye's mother also said: "Why go? There is a lot of work to do at home."
Ye Huimei glared at her third brother and said nothing more. He was just making excuses anyway.
If he is willing to take her, her parents will definitely not say anything!
Damn third brother!
Ah Guang looked at her beautiful eyes and the expression in her gaze, and couldn't help but secretly look at her a few more times. He also saw her white arms stretched out from time to time, and her ears turned slightly red.
After the family has finished their meal, they all go to the backyard to help sort the goods. The women in the family are responsible for opening the oysters, while the men help pick and choose those that can be sold.
Ye Yaodong specifically brought the bucket of sea chicken feet that was placed together with the turtle eggs to his father and said, "Dad, do you know what this is?"
"What? Isn't this just Buddha's hand? What else could it be?"
“Have you ever heard of Chicken of the Sea’s Feet?”
"What the hell is this? It's obviously Buddha's hand, why is it called chicken of the sea foot?"
It's over. Even his father doesn't recognize it, and Acai might think it's a Buddha's hand and won't be able to sell it at a good price.
He picked up a Buddha's hand from the ground and compared it to his father. "Do you think it's the same now?"
"The feet are the same, but the stem is a little longer. Is there a difference?"
"Of course, this chicken of the sea foot is much more expensive than Buddha's hand!" I just don't know if it is popular now.
When the others heard this, they stretched their necks to look over, but after looking left and right, they felt that there was not much difference. If they saw it, they would definitely mix it up with the Buddha's hand.
"How expensive is it?"
Ye Yaodong spread his hands and said, "I don't know. I just know that this thing is expensive."
Father Ye was not sure if he had made a mistake. After all, the ocean was vast and there were many species he did not recognize. He hesitated and said, "Why don't you go with Ah Cai to ask?"
"Fine!"
He would try asking. If Ah Cai didn't recognize it, he could only send it to the Hongsheng Hotel in town tomorrow to ask.
"Pour it out and see how much there is."
"Ah, can't fall, can't fall," he hurriedly stopped his father's action, "there are turtle eggs underneath."
"Turtle eggs? You also picked up turtle eggs. How many?"
He said with a grin, "Originally there were 78, but I didn't think 68 sounded as good, so Guang and I each took out 10 and roasted them."
Everyone's mouth twitched when they heard his inappropriate words. If he ate ten, he ate ten. Why did he have to say that the number 78 didn't sound good? It already had an 8 in it, so how could it not sound good
Father Ye said unhappily, "Let your mother cook tea eggs later. The turtle eggs are delicious when cooked with them."
"take it."
After sorting out the valuable goods, Ye Yaodong sent the things, including the chicken feet of the sea, to Acai.
Sure enough, he thought the chicken's foot was a Buddha's hand. After all, except for the stem, everything else looked the same.
Ye Yaodong couldn't explain it, and he couldn't ask others to give a high price just by his empty words. The key point was that he didn't know what the appropriate price was now.
He just said that he would not sell this one for the time being, and after settling the payment for the other goods, he took it back home.
Father Ye saw him bringing it back again and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"
"He doesn't recognize it either."
"Are you mistaken? Maybe they are the same thing?"
"Definitely not. I'll take it to Hongsheng and ask about it tomorrow."
"What a waste of time... I have a lot of work to do at home, why go to Hongsheng? Don't let others think you are a troublemaker and kick you out."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and simply carried it back to the house. He would not give up until he gave it a try.
When Lin Xiuqing saw him enter the room, there was still the bucket of sea chicken feet he mentioned in the corner, so she asked him quickly, "Acai also said it was Buddha's hand?"
"Um."
"Then forget it? Maybe you made a mistake?"
"I'll go to Hongsheng and ask tomorrow."
Seeing that he was frowning, Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to say anything more.
Ye Yaodong asked as he took off his clothes: "Are the oysters ready?"
"No, there's still a lot left. Mom said to save it for tomorrow so it'll be fresher."
"Can you handle this? We need to help out at the house, and there are so many shellfish to be opened, cooked, and dried."
"Yes, so mother asked my younger sister to make these at home tomorrow, in case she is too busy and lets them go bad."
"oh."
He took off all his clothes and pants, searched his pockets, and handed her the receipt. "This is the one I just sold with the shells. It's 8.2 yuan in total. Take it to Ah Cai in a couple of days to exchange it for money."
"So many?" Lin Xiuqing happily took it and took a look at it. After finding no problem, she locked it in the cabinet.
"Wait, there's another one."
He felt under the pillow before handing Lin Xiuqing the receipt for selling sea wolves today. When he was taking a shower earlier, he took it out of the pocket of his dirty clothes and put it under the pillow so that his wife wouldn't know and he could just wash it.
"What is this? Why is there another one?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at him in surprise, a little surprised. What else did he sell
But when she saw the number on the receipt, she was shocked. So much money
"Today, we not only harvested a few sacks of shellfish and blue crabs, but we also unexpectedly caught several nets of sea wolves, weighing over a thousand kilograms, and 68 kilograms of white pomfret. Ah Zheng brought his hand-cast net with him, and it turned out to be the right thing to do."
She took a close look at the list in her hand. Although the handwriting was a little sloppy, it did say Sea Wolf and White Pomfret.
"That's a lot of money. 478.4 yuan. How many people should share it?"
It would be nice if they were all theirs!
Ye Yaodong chuckled. Her thoughts were written all over her face, it was too obvious. He also wanted the money to be his alone, but who knew he didn't have a fishing net? Since everyone was going together, they had to divide it equally.
"It's between four of us. Find some time to make the trap net as soon as possible so I can release the fish. Then we don't have to share the harvest with others."
"I've been so busy lately. The back door is still full of shellfish, so I can't make the traps that fast."
"Well, it's okay. Take your time. Anyway, we made two deposits today, which is a lot. You can calculate how much money each person will get."
"good."
Ask her to count money and she will be happy. It will be even better if she can count the money!
"119.51 yuan per person!"
“So many!”
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, he had made a lot of money today!
"Um!"
Lin Xiuqing also nodded happily!
