Chapter 341 A Blessing in Misfortune
Kangzi didn't notice Zhang Jun's expression. He waved and said hello, "Brother Jun, Qingzi said that a lot of seafood will be blown to the shore by the wind and waves."
"Let's go and take a look."
Uncle Li and the others, who were half drunk, couldn't help but brighten their eyes when they heard this. Qingzai said there were seafood, so there was a high probability that there would be some.
But although the wind and rain are smaller than before, that is only relative.
With such strong winds and rain, the waves at the seaside must be very big. Even for old fishermen like them, if they are accidentally swept into the sea by the waves, they can only survive a few minutes longer than ordinary people.
Human beings are still too small in front of the ocean.
As a fisherman, the most important thing is to always be in awe of the sea.
Uncle Mou shook his head: "I'm not going."
"It's late at night. If you're not careful, you'll be swept into the sea."
"Just go home and sleep."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Uncle Ba burped and asked, "Qingzi, is there really any seafood?"
Ye Qing shrugged: "I just said it casually."
Uncle Ba shook his head. "Forget it, I'd better go home and sleep. I've had quite a bit to drink, and if I get drunk and fall into the sea, it'll be troublesome."
The others also nodded, thinking that what he said made sense, and then quickly dispersed and went home.
soon.
Only Ye Qing and a few others came out from the dock, and everyone else disappeared without a trace.
Cai Ya scratched his head: "These people are just going home, why are they in such a hurry? It's like they're in a hurry to be reincarnated."
Kangzi was just talking about going to Old Man Lin to borrow some tools to go fishing when Zhang Jun ran over and said breathlessly, "Don't go fishing yet."
"All the clams on the boat are dead."
"We need to deal with it quickly and refrigerate it."
Ye Qing frowned.
All dead?
These stone clams have a rather short life.
When he bit his finger to save Shen Ninglu, he thought that these stone clam fish might not be able to hold on, so he also dripped two drops into the live fish tank.
No more.
He can't risk dying just to make some money.
To be honest, he was not happy.
If it wasn't for saving someone, he wouldn't be willing to bite his finger.
Why?
It hurts!
Kangzai and Cai Ya were also very anxious. If the fish was dead, the price would have to be discounted by at least one third.
Without even bothering to catch seafood, the group hurried to the fishing boat.
When they opened the live fish warehouse, they found that all the stone clams were indeed dead, which made Kangzi and Cai Ya look bitter.
Call Li Shi and ask him to come and work as well.
As happy as I was when I caught the fish online, I am as tired as I am now dealing with them.
After processing less than one-third of the meat, Kangzi and Cai Ya started to cry out that their hands, legs and backs were sore. Killing and processing the meat was indeed strenuous work.
Tiring.
Fortunately, there is no need to cut the fish into pieces, only simple processing and bleeding are required. Otherwise, the intensity of the operation would have to be increased by several levels.
It took more than two hours to complete the process.
Kangzai and Cai Ya sat slumped on the ground, not wanting to move at all. They took out their cigarettes and started smoking. Zhang Jun was fine. He was still helping Li Shi clean the deck with water while smoking.
"go back."
After they finished smoking their cigarettes, Ye Qing called out, "Let's go back and get some midnight snacks."
After such a busy day, all the food and wine were consumed.
Just got back to the dock.
Mr. Lin hadn't closed the shop yet. Seeing Ye Qing and the others coming back in a somewhat disheveled state, he called out, "Go and deal with the catch."
"Don't go home and fix it."
"I have some food on the stove here, let's make do with it."
Ye Qing thought so too. He would have to cook it when he got home, and the ingredients might not be readily available at home. Since Grandpa Lin had already asked him to cook, it was definitely not a false courtesy.
Walk into the tavern.
The group went to the backyard to wash up first. When they came back fifteen minutes later, there were already several plates of hot dishes on the table.
Braised chicken feet, cold squid shreds, seafood soup, spicy stir-fried clams, steamed dried fish, and old wine.
Mr. Lin was tidying up the stove in the bar and said, "Eat, you must be starving."
Ye Qing and others nodded and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Old Master Lin waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite to me? It was you guys who helped me clean up this tavern."
"Go eat now."
"Drink some soup to moisten your throat first, don't choke."
Ye Qing and others sat down because they were really hungry.
Drink the soup first.
Take a few more bites of food and a sip of wine.
I felt comforted from body to soul. In one word, I felt comfortable.
Mr. Lin’s meals may not be impeccable in appearance, aroma and taste, but they are most suitable for the taste of the locals of Longwei Island.
For the fishermen of Longwei Island, every time they go out to sea to fish and return to the dock, they come to the tavern to have a bite to eat and a drink before going home, and they don’t feel it is so hard.
Ye Qing finished all the food, drank a bottle of wine, and ate three large bowls of rice. In the end, there was really no more food to eat, so he put down the empty bowl with a sense of unsatisfied feeling.
He has no feeling of fullness.
The dragon balls in his body were also empty, and the wine he drank did not produce much energy.
After helping to clean up the dishes and saying goodbye to Mr. Lin, Ye Qing and the others put on their raincoats and pushed the door open to go out.
Not long after walking out of the pier, Kangzi saw lights flashing on the beach. He exclaimed, "No way! So many people are going to the beach?"
"They don't sleep?"
"Aren't you afraid of danger?"
A man carrying a bucket was walking towards me. When I got closer, I saw that it was Uncle Mou, who was the first one to say he wanted to go home and sleep.
Kangzi greeted him: "Uncle Mou, what have you been doing?"
Uncle Mou was jogging home when he heard someone calling him. He was startled. Seeing it was Kangzi, he quickly turned off his headlamp and said with a smile, "I really couldn't sleep at home, so I went to the beach to relax. I found a lot of seafood."
“I just picked up some.”
Kangzi looked at the full bucket and said, "You seem quite careless. You go for a walk on the beach in the middle of a rainy night."
Uncle Mou smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go first."
After Uncle Mou walked away, Kangzi said indignantly, "Qingzi, these old guys are so cunning. They say they're going home to sleep, but I think they're just in a hurry to get their tools and go to the beach to catch seafood."
"They must have heard you say there's good stuff at the beach, so they all came here to catch some."
It turns out that there are indeed a lot of goods on the beach.
and.
They are all good stuff.
Generally, after a typhoon or other stormy weather, you can pick up a lot of seafood by going to the sea, and they all look very ordinary.
Looking at the scene at the beach today, people are still picking up seafood in the middle of the night despite the wind and rain. It is obvious that these are all high-value seafood.
Cai Ya also said: "Originally, these should have been ours."
"It's a free giveaway for others."
Li Shi shook his head. "If I don't compete with so many people, I'll suffer."
Zhang Jun also said: "Ashi is right. Even if we go, we probably won't be able to pick up much with so many people competing for seafood."
Ye Qing looked at the lights that illuminated half the sky, shook his head and said, "Alright, forget it. You must be exhausted."
"I don't have the energy to join in the fun anyway."
"I'm going back to sleep first."
After saying that, he continued walking home.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t catch the sea, but as the saying goes, “Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.”
