Chapter 335 Seagull(1/2)
A group of children had been surrounding the stove, and Mother Ye couldn't drive them away. Some even wanted to help light the fire, but she scolded them a few times before they went away, scratching their heads and stretching their necks to wait there.
Lin Guangyuan asked curiously: "Are seabird eggs delicious?"
"It should be delicious, right? Eggs are delicious, and seabird eggs must be delicious too."
"Haven't you eaten?"
"Where are we going to eat?"
"Aren't you people from the seaside? Have you never eaten seabird eggs?"
"Who says seaside people must have eaten seabird eggs?"
They were busy discussing there.
Father Ye smiled and said: "Seabird eggs are delicious. Seabirds are different from birds in the forest. Seabirds often lay their eggs on the ground or on piles of rocks. It's just a matter of luck. It's easier to pick them up on islands."
Lin Guangyuan suddenly realized, "I said that I also picked up seabird eggs on the ground at that time, and I picked them up nest by nest. Sometimes I found more than a dozen, and then there were more not far away, all on the ground.
"
"normal."
"Okay, okay, it's time to take the pot out. You guys stand aside. I'm going to lift the lid. Don't get in the way."
When they heard what Ye Mu said, they immediately stood aside and shouted excitedly, finally feeling better.
Mother Ye took a small basket and scooped all the seabird eggs into the basket, dripping water, then poured them into a large bowl and brought them to the table.
"Be careful if it's hot, wait until it cools down a bit before eating..."
"I want a big one!"
"I want a big one too!"
"I want it too, I want a big one too..."
Mother Ye's head was pounding after hearing this, "It's almost the same."
Seabirds come in different sizes, and seabird eggs range in size from large to small. Some are as big as goose eggs, and some are as small as quail eggs.
She carefully picked the food when she first put it in the pot, otherwise, she would start to argue if it was not fair. Every time the food was divided, there would always be a few unfair points, and she would cry.
That’s it when you have more children, a whole bunch of them are grandchildren~
Even the children didn't mind it being too hot. As soon as the bowls were brought to the table, they all rushed up, each taking one, and then it was so hot that they switched from left hand to right hand, right hand to left hand, and kept purring with their mouths pouting.
blow.
“I told you guys it’s hot, so it’s too late to eat it later?”
"Not hot, not hot..."
"Give them all to me. I'll take them and soak them in cold water..."
"Need not……"
Each one has been placed next to the stove to knock, and some have even placed it on other people's heads...
Then I peeled off the shell with a whirring sound. Looking at the bright white egg white, I couldn't wait to peel off the remaining shell, so I bit it in one bite and rolled it in my mouth twice before I could swallow it.
After he was full, Ye Yaodong put down his bowl and chopsticks. Looking at their anxious expressions, he couldn't help but said, "Why are you anxious? I've eaten them all for you anyway. It's too late to wait for them to cool down a bit. I swallowed them without even chewing them twice."
Do you know what it smells like?”
A group of people were a little confused, as if they didn't taste it?
Ye Yaodong shook his head and ignored them. He went directly into the house to take a look at the mother and daughter. He was dirty and did not dare to touch them. He just stood aside and watched happily for a while before going out with his clothes and preparing to take a shower.
As soon as I walked out, I heard them screaming again.
"This egg yolk is so big!"
"Mine too!"
"Ah? I've already bitten it!"
Others who had not bitten the yolk quickly ate the egg white, leaving the yolk rolling in their hands.
"Mine is bigger!"
"I'm older than you!"
"I'm the biggest!"
Seabird eggs also tend to be larger than woodbird eggs, and tend to have a higher yolk percentage, perhaps because of their larger size, whether it's an albatross or a great egret, a sea duck, or a gannet.
Of course, there are also many smaller ones, such as seagulls, petrels and some wading birds.
Ye Yaodong's head was full of black threads. What were they talking about?
He frowned, glanced at the children, then shook the towel, put it on his shoulders, and went to the back door.
By the way, I took a look at the sky. The starry sky was extremely bright and dotted with stars at night. I knew at a glance that the weather would be good again tomorrow.
Although the ship was hit a bit today, nothing happened until it returned from work. He planned to go to sea as usual. If he asked someone to come and check, it would be delayed tomorrow.
There are only a few days in the flood season, and sometimes it rains and winds delay things. There are only a limited number of days where fishing can be done. He can't bear to stop now. The loss in one day is huge. Anyway, little Azheng's boat is working near him.
When we were just having dinner, Father Lin and Mother Lin also said that if it didn't rain or wind at night, they would go with him again and go back the day after tomorrow.
After all, this opportunity to make money is quite rare. Earning more than 30 yuan a day is really a lot.
Ye Yaodong had no objection. It was just a matter of course. He wouldn't mind helping his father-in-law and mother-in-law to make some money for them, which they earned through their own hard work.
But when he was taking a shower, Ye Chenghai sneaked over.
"Uncle Third, can you take me with you tonight? I won't go to school tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong wiped his hands with a towel and paused, then looked over and said, "Go tell your father and ask him to take you there."
Ye Chenghai said hesitantly: "Then can he agree to take me with him?"
"Why don't you agree? Just say that you can experience how hard it is to be a fisherman, and you will cherish your studies in the future. Anyway, you won't go to school tomorrow, so you can work harder and pick up more if you go. And you will stay on a small island.
If you don't run around, you are no longer a child, so you can help the family with some work in your free time and earn some money to supplement the family income, that's all."
Ye Chenghai was stunned for a moment when he told him, and then blinked.
"Uncle Third, what you said makes sense! Why didn't I think of persuading you like this?"
"Because you're a clever fool!"
"ah?"
What adjective is this?
"Why don't you go talk quickly?"
"Oh, right!" He hurriedly ran away. His parents had just come back for a while and were still at the door.
But as soon as he took two steps and ran, he turned back again.
"Third uncle, tell me again, how did you say it?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and repeated it to him again.
Ye Chenghai also recited the words again and again, and then said happily: "I remember it!"
Then Sayazi ran away.
Ye Yaodong shook his head and continued to take a bath. He didn't remember the endorsement so quickly. Everyone thought it was fun to go to sea.
When he was almost done washing, he was carrying the remaining basin of water towards his feet, and Ye Chenghai came over like another gust of wind. He ran excitedly and shouted: "Third uncle, third uncle, it's done, you're too much."
Awesome!"
"Cut~"
After casting a glance at him, Ye Yaodong continued to rub his feet against each other, then rushed to end the matter.
"Then how do you want to thank me?"
"Do you still want to thank me? Then I will give you half of the seabird eggs I will pick up tomorrow, and ask Ye Chengjiang to give you half too. The second aunt asked him to come too, and he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth with laughter."
"Oh, it turns out you're not going to pick up squid, but you're going to pick up seabird eggs!"
"Hehe, pick them all up."
"Okay, then each of you will smoke half of the seabird eggs for me as a head fee!" He said as he walked inside with a washbasin and towel.
Lin Guangyuan was speechless when he heard this, "Brother-in-law, you are so treacherous. Even if you give me a move, you will have to pay per head."
"Of course, don't waste what comes to your door. Don't forget to pay the boat fare tomorrow. Pick up more and I'll reward you with some rewards."
"Hmph~"
Leaf peeling!
Lin Guangyuan rolled his eyes, took the washbasin from him, and planned to take a shower. After staying for a few days, he wore Ye Chenghai's clothes. Although the sleeves and trousers were a little short, the weather was warm, so it was not a big problem.
At night, they went to sea as usual, but Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Guangyuan were obviously not as energetic as they were yesterday.
"Cheer up, it's only been two days!"
