The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the more regretful he became. He came back early. Such a big snail was already valuable, but it is not as valuable now as it will be in the future. Thinking about it this way...it seems that it is not such a pity anymore?
“Can’t many conches be used as trumpets?”
"It's different. This one is said to be able to ward off evil spirits and bring peace. In the past, sea people and mountain people often used it as a horn to exorcise evil spirits."
In ancient times, not only tribes and armies used conch horns as horns, but also monks in monasteries and temples used them as instruments for preaching.
Because the sound of the conch is loud and powerful and heard far and wide, it is a metaphor for the prosperity of Buddhist rituals, its popularity among the public, and its ability to ward off demons, so the phoenix-tailed snail is called "Dharma conch".
Lin Xiuqing shrugged, "We don't have such luck? Good things won't always fall into our hands."
Ye Yaodong was right when he thought about it. His luck was already better than that of many people, and he should be content. It was impossible for all the good things to fall into his hands alone, and others would also have good luck.
"Well, you can still pick up treasures during a typhoon. It's a pity that you can't go to sea. If you can go to sea, you can definitely make a fortune."
"Don't even think about whether life or money is more important." Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said angrily.
"I just said that, of course life is important..."
"Uncle Third, let's go back when the tide goes out tomorrow, and you can help us sell..." Ye Chenghai had just finished counting the money he had received, and kept covering his pockets with his hands, smiling with satisfaction.
Others were also holding the huge sum of money they had received, extremely happy, nodding and looking at him expectantly.
Ye Yaodong distributed it equally to them based on their heads. It was just that the elders, Ye Chenghai, Ye Chengjiang, and Lin Guangyuan, would receive 20 cents more, while the others were the same.
"Have you tasted the sweetness? Let's talk tomorrow, maybe there will be a typhoon tomorrow and we won't be able to go out."
"Bless me there won't be a typhoon tomorrow..."
"The waves are strong only when there are typhoons, and goods are available only when the waves are strong."
"There will be another typhoon later that night..."
"Okay, wait until you make enough money before the typhoon hits. Let's prepare it for three to five days first."
"Yes, yes..."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Oh my god, the typhoon will blow whenever I say? That's right, that's right, you big-headed idiots, you guys should think about how to spend the money you have."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but said: "It's not enough to save it, why spend it?"
"Do you think they can survive?"
"Hey, Uncle San, we want to buy instant noodles..."
"Being beaten is none of my business."
"We bought it and ate it secretly at your place...Uncle Third, your yard is really well fenced..."
"It's convenient for you to eat secretly, right?"
"Hehe~"
Lin Xiuqing reminded them that dinner was coming soon, so the children held back their excitement and waited until dinner was over before they hurried to the canteen.
Ye Yaodong's family had just finished eating and moved stools to the door to enjoy the shade. They saw a dog barking twice at the door, and a large group of children appeared at the door of his house.
Sister-in-law Ye, Sister-in-law Ye, was sitting at the door enjoying the cool air when she saw them running past and jumping to the next door. There was only a wall between them. They could still hear their curses clearly. They scolded them like monkeys, jumping up and down all day long.
, ran away as soon as they finished eating, running around everywhere.
As soon as these children arrived at Ye Yaodong's house, they put their index fingers to their mouths and told them to be quiet.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it, and whispered: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you? You have just finished eating, and you want to eat instant noodles?"
"Third Aunt, please don't say anything, otherwise we will be spanked till our bottoms are blown."
"Okay, I understand. Do you want to help you cook it?"
"No, no, no, we just crush the seasoning powder and sprinkle it in, shake it and then you can eat it. I heard it tastes very fragrant and crispy."
The other people nearby were already squeezing it into pieces before tearing it open and putting all the seasoning powder packets in. However, there was an extra oil packet and they were hesitant to put it in too.
At this time, Ye Xiuxiu took out her oil bun and gave it to Lin Xiuqing, "Third Aunt, I gave you the oil bun to cook. You must not tell my mother."
Girls' brains are more flexible with melon seeds, so a few boys are just thinking about eating them.
"Yes, yes, third aunt, we will cook all the oil buns for you, and you can ask third uncle to help us sell them tomorrow..."
After a while, Lin Xiuqing's hands were filled with bags of small oil packets. She put them away with a smile, "Okay."
Only then did the children squeeze the mouth of the bag contentedly and shake it up and down.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang each pulled at the hem of Lin Xiuqing's clothes. Needless to say, with their longing eyes, she knew what they wanted to do?
Ye Yaodong was playing with his little daughter on the side. When he saw it, he said: "Get a bag for each of them, otherwise they will all be able to eat, and they will just stand there and watch."
"I just ate this after dinner... I cooked 6 packs in the morning, and only 5 were left. I wanted to save them for you to cook for breakfast tomorrow morning. I ate them now, but I won't have to eat them tomorrow..." Lin
Xiuqing muttered something and went to the cabinet to get it for them. Lin Guangyuan also got one for him.
"It's okay. I'll buy two packs tomorrow and you can cook some porridge. I don't want to eat this noodle, I want to eat porridge."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "This bag is worth a few cents, who eats it every day? What you say is easy."
"Forget it, let them share the two packets. If it's not enough, just put some noodles in and soak them."
In their eyes, instant noodles are a luxury product, but in his eyes, they are junk food. If you eat too much, you will get angry. It is better to eat less.
A few of them were quite satisfied with some of the food. They put small pieces in their mouths dipped in seasoning powder, and they were crunchy and crunchy, not to mention how fragrant it was.
“It’s delicious!”
"Hmm~ It's so delicious~ Let's buy it tomorrow when we make money!"
"It would be great if I could eat it every day in the future..."
"When I make money in the future, I will eat instant noodles every day..."
When Ye Yaodong heard this, he laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes. You will know this when you grow up.
When they finished eating, there was a lot of seasoning left over, so they knocked the left hand to the right hand several times to separate the seasoning, pinched the small corner, then popped the noodles into their mouths and ate them, licking their paws at the same time.
“It’s really delicious and fragrant.”
"Mmm...so full..."
"I think I could use another pack..."
"It's so expensive. Let's eat it tomorrow..."
After Ye Chenghai finished eating, he saw that Ye Chengyang still had half a bag left in his hand. He tilted his head and whispered, "Yangyang, do you still have a lot to finish?"
Ye Chengyang clenched the opening of the bag in a moment of vigilance, then hid behind the old lady, only sticking out his little head, "After eating, this is mine."
The old lady smiled lovingly and said, "After eating, go to the door to cool down. Don't crowd in the room. There is wind at the door. It will be so cool."
"Humph, stingy."
They finished eating one after another, licked their paws clean, and then reluctantly took the bag to Lin Xiuqing and threw it away.
With the motivation of instant noodles, early the next morning, everyone ran over happily as soon as they got up, but they were sent away by Ye Yaodong on the grounds that the tide had only gone out in the afternoon.
A few of them had no choice but to hang out for a long time, and after lunch, they came over with high spirits.
They were in high spirits and full of enthusiasm, so Ye Yaodong had to make money for them, so he had to work with them for another long time.
"Obviously I only gave birth to three children, but it seems like I gave birth to a football team. I'm annoying you to death. Go ahead and get the money and get out of here."
After Ye Yaodong distributed the money to them, he quickly sent them away. They hung around in front of him all day long. The third uncle was taller than the third uncle, and his ears were calloused. They were so annoying.
"Hehe~Thank you, Uncle San!"
"Thank you, Uncle San..."
After receiving the money one by one, they were so happy that they ran outside quickly.
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "Why do I think you have fun playing with them? You enjoy it."
"Really? No, I'm obviously forced to take them with me?"
Ye Yaodong looked at him happily as he picked up half a bucket of blue crabs, half a bucket of miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs, a bucket full of scallops and a basin of clams. He was really happy to see such a harvest.
The old lady smiled and said: "The fact that they like you means that you love them and treat them well. Children will be close to anyone who treats them well."
"I understand, I'll beat them all with a stick tomorrow, so they won't have to bother me every day."
The old lady smiled and patted him with a cattail leaf fan.
Typhoons come and blow whenever they want.
Another happy day has passed. The sky was originally clear during the day, but the waves on the beach were bigger and the wind was cooler. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the wind quickly strengthened.
The tide on the beach was full. When the tide came out, the tide still did not recede. Instead, the tide tended to rise.
It was clearly three o'clock in the afternoon, but it felt like it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The sky was dark, as if God was brewing a violent rage, and the wind was howling.
A group of children at home were very disappointed when they saw that they could no longer go to the beach to make money. They had no other choice but to play. They all ran to the door to blow the wind and fell in the direction of the typhoon.
"Ah~ I'm going to be blown away by the typhoon~"
"Haha, it's so cool, I want to fly~"
"Oh oh oh~ A typhoon is coming, a typhoon is coming~"
One by one, they spread their arms and were blown along the direction of the typhoon, shouting happily, carefree and having a great time.
Children's happiness is so simple.
Ye Yaodong looked at the two sweet-scented osmanthus trees at the door. He felt that they could not withstand the blow of the typhoon, and they were already swaying violently here and there.
Afraid of being uprooted by the typhoon, he quickly found a few sticks, inserted three sticks around a tree, and tied them together with straw, taking advantage of the stability of the triangle.
Houses in the south basically have triangular roofs, just to take advantage of the stability of the triangle.
The children watched him going in and out and gathered around him with interest.
"Dad, are you afraid that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree will be blown away?"
"Well, you will be blown away outside, not to mention these two saplings."
"Oh~ The typhoon is really cool and comfortable~ It would be great if there was a typhoon every day. It's so fun. I'm going to be blown away by the typhoon~ Oh oh oh~"
After being curious, several children ran out of the yard and continued to be blown by the typhoon, screaming with excitement.
Ye Yaodong muttered behind him, "If there is a typhoon every day, the whole village will follow the northwest wind."
Lin Xiuqing walked out of the house and whispered: "A Dong, is it safe under the tree?"
"What's so unsafe? They have fenced the yard and have guard dogs, and no one knows about it. After the yard was fenced, I dug up the soil and checked it again."
"That's good."
"Just bury it there. We don't have to spend a lot of money for the time being. We'll keep this for our retirement in the future."
"Um."
