Yu Xiaocao touched her nose, indicating that inland girls don't understand the dangers of the ocean. Obviously a milky white, crystal-like "mushroom" is deadly enough. Stand up!
"Wow!" The sound of water came not far from the brother and sister, they turned their heads to look, and happened to see Yu Hai emerging from the sea. He was shirtless, showing his lean, strong chest.
"Cao'er, look what dad got!!" Yu Hai grinned, showing his white teeth, taking advantage of his face turning darker. But it is so black that it tastes masculine!
Little Shitou rushed over with an "ow" and shouted, "Abalone, it's an abalone!! Dad, you touched the abalone!"
Xiaocao hurriedly moved over curiously. I saw four or five dark green-brown shellfish lying in Yu Hai's two big palms, each of which was more than ten centimeters long. This seemingly inconspicuous thing is the popular abalone
"Such a big abalone, it costs at least a few hundred renminbi to sell one in the town. Dad caught nine and sold them to the big restaurant, there should be two or three taels of silver!" Yu Xiaolian also came over and exclaimed in surprise .
Two or three taels of silver? Based on the prices that Xiaocao learned, two or three taels of silver can buy three to four hundred catties of high-quality round-grained rice, more than one hundred catties of high-quality pork, and seventy to eighty fat live chickens... There are ten or so people in her family for a year. The rations are just two or three liang.
Yu Xiaocao still knows the nutritional value of abalone. I originally planned to use abalone to supplement my family's health, because the value of abalone was disrupted.
According to her understanding of that cheap grandma, whoever proposes to eat the abalone, she can tear you alive! If you take it home, you will definitely beat the dog with meat buns - there will be no return! !
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes, and said in a coquettish tone that she felt cold: "Father, are these all for me?"
Yu Hai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I said it at the beginning, if I find abalone, I will make up for you and your mother. I'm lucky today, if you can't finish a meal, eat it slowly after drying it. "
Brothers and sisters Yu Hang and Yu Xiaolian looked over with distrustful eyes. They already knew what kind of person their father was: he worked hard and never refuted Mrs. Zhang's demands, even if those demands were very unreasonable.
The five-year-old Xiaoshi knew that when these abalones were brought back, they couldn't even touch the edges, and they ate them slowly!
Yu Hai was a little embarrassed by the children, pretended to cough twice, bent down and carefully put the abalone into the bucket.
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes and said, "Father! Give these abalones to me."
Without further ado, Yu Hai stuffed abalone worth two or three taels into his daughter's hands. He stood up to look at the sky, and said: "It's getting late, today's harvest is good, let's go back!"
Yu Xiaocao poured the seafood in her basket into the old man's big wooden barrel, and carefully put the abalone in. She looked around, ran to the cliff, picked up some kelp and sea cabbage, and covered the abalone tightly.
Today's harvest is really not small! The wooden bucket that Yu Hai was carrying was as high as a small stone, and it was full of seafood. The kegs in the hands of Yu Hang and Xiao Lian also gained quite a lot. Even the small basket carried by Xiao Shishi is full of seafood.
On the way back, the acquaintances in the village all greeted enviously: "It's still Dahai who has the ability. He went later than us, but he gained a lot more than us!"
"Brother Dahai, your Haihong weighs 20 to 30 catties, and it will definitely be fine if you get it out. Brother Dahai has never missed a shot! Do you have any tricks? Teach me!" He was a young man in his twenty-five or sixteen years old, short and stocky, with a square-looking appearance, but he was black.
People in the village rush to the sea, and in order to have disputes, they have their own fixed places. How much you harvest depends on luck. Yu Hai is different, he does not go to the sea many times, but returns with a full load every time.
Many people in the village want to learn this skill from him, but they can't speak out because of face. After all, it's the way people eat. If you learn it, isn't it the same as taking food from someone's mouth? It means that Li Shuanzi has a close relationship with Yu Hai, and he would have turned his back on someone else!
"Uncle Shuanzi, there are many reefs on the other side of the cliff, you can go and have a look at them when the tide is low!" Yu Hang knew that Li Shuanzi was his father's best buddy, so he didn't hide it from him. However, he kept a lot of his own piece of Haifu land and didn't disclose it.
Li Shuanzi looked at the surrounding villagers who were prying ears, and laughed loudly: "Xiaosha, you think we are all like your father, climbing rocks and walls, going up mountains and going down to the sea, all unambiguous? The cliff is so dangerous, Fourth Uncle Liu is Nothing over there! Uncle Shuanzi wants to live a few more years!"
Sister-in-law Yang Fan brought her daughter over and asked, "Da Hai, where is your wife?"
"She's not feeling well today, and she's resting at home! Brother Yangfan, is his leg feeling better?" Li Yangfan is another good brother of Yu Hai. Rest at home.
Yangfan's sister-in-law asked about Liu Muyun's body with concern, and then said: "It's okay, his leg is just a skin injury, it's just that the boat at home was hit hard. Dahai, you have time to come and help see if it can be repaired?"
Everyone in the nearby fishing villages knows that Yu Hai is a capable person. When it comes to fishing in the sea, most people can't compare with him. Not to mention, in the spring of this year, Lao Yu's family dragged back a shark, at least two to three hundred catties, and the shark's fin alone was sold for several taels of silver. It's not that people in the village look down on people, without Yu Hai, Lao Yu and his stepson can't even feed sharks enough, let alone hunt sharks.
In addition to fishing and hunting skills, Yu Hai is also self-taught in boat repairs, and there are almost no big or small problems in ordinary fishing boats that can trouble him. This is also one of the reasons why so many people in Dongshan Village are jealous of his ability, but only dare to gossip behind his back and dare not offend him.
"Okay! Come down from the mountain tomorrow, I'll go and have a look! Sister-in-law Yang Fan, this is horse tooth meat, Big Brother Yang Fan is good for this, you take some back and serve him wine." The small stone basket is full of Yu Hai generously donated the knocked-out horse tooth meat without even thinking about it.
Yang Fan's sister-in-law smiled and shook her head, looked at the quiet Xiaocao, and said, "Save it for the children to eat! Xiaocao, is your body feeling better? Does your head still hurt?"
Yu Xiaocao smiled at her politely, and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Grandpa You said that the gauze can be removed in two days."
Yu Hai exchanged some pleasantries with the two of them, and then led the children home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law, who was supposed to be resting in the house, was serving dinner out of the kitchen, her face suddenly clouded.
"Hey! I picked up a lot of good things in the sea today, and we will have a good fortune tomorrow!" Behind him came the voice of Li's hen being pinched by the neck.
Yu Xiaolian was so angry that she threw the bucket on the ground, and said to the auntie who stepped into the door: "Auntie, didn't grandma tell you to cook at home? You've only come back now because you don't want to eat for everyone. Bar?"
Mrs. Li squinted at her, didn't pay attention to her little girl's film, curled her lips and said: "Just allow people to pretend to be sick and lazy, so I can't go out when I have something to do? How do you talk? It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. Be careful when you marry in the future." stay home!"
