Chapter 449 The Locusts Have Moved Across the Border.

The women on the beach who were struggling to pull the shells into their buckets were all chatting excitedly while working there.

How big was the typhoon last night? How bad is the rain leaking at home? What was damaged by the typhoon?

Or maybe something was blown away by the typhoon? Did everyone else pick up some fish or something good just now? What surprised them even more was that they actually ran away when they saw scallops.

"I've lived so long, but I didn't expect these scallops to still run away? We have to row faster, otherwise they will all run away."

"Who says it's not? This is the first time I've seen a scallop run, and it runs pretty fast."

"I thought it wouldn't move, just like a sand clam, but I didn't expect it to run away..."

"Hurry up and dig, otherwise a bunch of scallops will run into the sea every time the tide comes in..."

"Young yo yo~ can you still turn?" a woman said excitedly, pointing to the scallops that were opening and closing in the sea to escape.

This is called living for a long time! Most scallops live at low tide on the shallow seabed of about a few hundred meters. The fishing volume is relatively small, and it will take a few years for people to start cultivating them.

It is relatively rare in daily life, and no one knows that scallops can actually run away. Ye Yaodong also saw it. He turned a 180-degree turn, then opened and closed and ran away. He fished it out and the scallop immediately became obedient when it was lying on the sieve, pretending to be dead.

The women were suddenly confused when they saw Ye Yaodong standing in the water and only a dozen or so fish were fished out.

"Why don't you get a dustpan or a dustpan? How many can you hold?" He didn't explain much. He just said that there were no dustpans and dustpans at home.

"Then you can also get a washbasin!" The old man next to him understood.

"What he fished were all live scallops. Although we fished in large quantities, there were a lot of empty shells inside, as well as worthless ones like oyster roe or sea melon seeds and clams. I can't tell who has more than the other." The woman was a little excited when she saw him fishing. Because there were not many scallops caught, although they were all shells, the big ones could be sold for thirty or forty cents per pound, and the small ones could be sold for about thirty cents. The shells were heavy, and the big ones were a few cents. Each weighs a pound, which is a very impressive quantity.

Although there are many people at the beach, it is still easy for a family to pick up a few hundred kilograms and take it home. They can also sell it for hundreds of yuan, which is a lot of money.

The woman next to me wanted to catch those that had run into the sea. She raised her bucket, but then she realized that she couldn't catch them since it was not leaking.

The young boy next to him followed him into the water with a dustpan, but he felt too tired after a while. He repeatedly bent over and stood up, but it was not as easy as squatting there all the time.

Moreover, it was only a small amount. It was not as much as the people around me who were pulling it into their arms. It was simply incomparable.

After a few strokes, the young boy gave up and continued to move towards the shell coastline. He felt that paddling from the shore would be faster and more abundant.

He also said this to the women at the same time, and everyone thought it seemed reasonable. You can catch more other shellfish by paddling on the shore.

Ye Yaodong looked at it unconcernedly, he fished for his. The tide kept washing there, and the living scallops followed the tide one after another and ran into the sea. Those piled next to them were either dead, fleshless, or were pressed underneath and unable to move.

His father, mother, and wife were all there pulling shells, so he didn't have to worry about all kinds of shellfish, so he had better make more money by selling them.

One person can catch just the right amount of fish, and if the fish that escapes the net are caught, see if the ground cage can catch a little bit. Some people also looked at the underground cage net washed by the waves in the shallow water, and discussed who put it there?

If you come early, you can still see that it was him and his father who set it off, while if you come late, you can only find out from other people's mouths. I happened to see him in the sea, moving along the coastline while fishing, and someone asked me about it.

"Yaodong, I heard that you placed these ground cages in the sea in front of you? What can be found on this coast? This typhoon has already passed."

"Yes, how many things can be put in the ground cage here? If you want to put it in, you should put it in during the typhoon yesterday. There can be more goods..." Ye Yaodong straightened his body, held an empty fist in his hand, beat his waist, and looked at it again I looked at the sky. The sky was glowing with red light a while ago, and the sun had already come out. Now it has hidden behind the clouds. Today it is overcast and the clouds are extremely thick. Fortunately, there is no sun and it will not be too hot.

He twisted his hips and looked at those old aunts and uncles,

"When a typhoon blows and there are big waves, they can blow you away in a few blows, and even big trees can be uprooted, not to mention this cage." The village didn't know how it was affected by the typhoon, so it opened its doors early in the morning. When I came out, I was busy working on the beach. I didn't even eat breakfast, nor did I go to the village or the old house.

"It should be put outside, because there is a lot of traffic outside and a lot of goods come in..." Without him having to say anything, the others refuted,

"The typhoon has just passed, who will go out to put the net? The waves outside are much bigger than those on the shore, so we have to wait for two days."

"I just said it casually..."

"When will your cage be closed? Maybe you can catch some scallops."

"You must be able to do some netting. Is Yaodong thinking very fast? Everyone just came out with the winnowing bucket and you have already lowered the ground cage."

"I live close by, and my new home is right by the beach... I don't know how many fish I picked up early in the morning... Oh? Yes, how many fish did you pick up this morning?" This question hit the point.

Ye Yaodong smiled and showed his white teeth.

"We didn't pick up much this morning, so others don't know." Those at his house were all picked up last night.

Work quickly. Later, we have to take the fish at home to the pier to sell. There is no ice to prevent it from becoming stale after being stored for a long time.

He walked along the coastline and fished, and when he saw people he knew he knew, he said hello and chatted for a while. He happened to walk up to the fat man and his wife, and the fat man was still being scolded.

When the fat man saw him, he seemed to see a savior.

"Dongzi, you put these cages up? When will you put them away?"

"Look, let's collect them the day after tomorrow. We just put them out in the morning. I think the tide will go down the day after tomorrow and they won't be so full." Those two fishing nets can be collected later.

"You can earn a lot from this?"

"Isn't it the same for you? The speed of pulling this fish is much faster than what I can fish." It was because of this that others did not follow his example and go back to get a ground cage to put it in.

How fast does it pull like this? How much time would it take to run back to get the ground cage and put it into the sea? There are so many people here now. By the time you put up the ground cage, half of the shell coastline has been moved away by the villagers. How fast can you paddle directly on the shore if you have this time?

The fat man nodded in agreement,

"That's right. It's just that there seem to be a lot more empty shells and other shells. I'll have more to choose from when I go back. Then my wife will have to work hard." Ye Yaodong laughed.

"Now you know what you say is nice?" The fat man's wife gave the fat man a fierce look.

"You can carry a sack and give it to other women to make them work harder."

"Uh..." The fat man felt guilty and did not dare to say anything, so he quickly changed the topic.

"How was your house last night? Is the water leaking bad?"

"There was no water leakage in the house last night. I don't know how the old house is doing. I was worried that I took my parents over yesterday." The fat man said enviously: "It's better to have a new house. We didn't sleep all night. It rained in the morning." It's not that big, I just squinted for a while and then I was called out..." The fat man was afraid of being grabbed by his wife, so he simply wandered around looking for topics to chat with Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong was also very cooperative. There is great strength in numbers! The villagers were like locusts passing through the border. They had not slept all night and were still full of energy. They were like chicken blood. The long coastline had almost disappeared in half a morning and had already filled up the people behind them. Sacks and bamboo baskets.

Ye Yaodong also straightened up his aching waist and looked at his watch. It was only about nine o'clock. If they have money, these people can really survive!

Everyone had bright smiles on their faces, covering up the dark circles under their eyes. They asked each other about how many bags they had picked up and how many baskets they had picked up.

Some were reluctant to stand up and were still picking up leftovers from the shore. Their buttocks were soaked by the sea water and they were still squatting there, which looked very funny. When they stood up, only the area where their buttocks were squatting was wet, and the buttocks above the waist were wet. The following are all done.

Ye’s father, Ye’s mother, Lin Xiuqing, and everyone else are the same. When they pushed the cart home, a bunch of children gathered at the door. The old lady looked at them with a whip. When they saw them coming back with their butts wet, they laughed at them.

"Mom and dad peed their pants~"

"Mom and dad are so embarrassed that they peed their pants~"

"Grandpa and grandma also peed their pants~"

"Hahaha~"

"Go, go, go away, people are disgusted with dogs!"

"Dad, why didn't you pee your pants? Everyone peed their pants!"

"Yes, Third Uncle, why didn't you pee your pants?"

"Hahaha, Dad must not be in a hurry to pee..." Ye Yaodong glared at them,

"I'll help you pick it up later, and I'll be merciful and won't hit you."

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~" A group of children were laughing and joking around a few adults, talking about whose pants got wet more and who peed more. It made people speechless.

After the adults lifted the shells down to each other, they screamed again,

"So many~"

"So many shells~"

"Get rich~"

"Ah ah, can we go to the beach to pick it up? Is there anything else?"

"It seems that there is no more free thread. Everyone has moved it away..."
