Li Changle turned around and realized that the tide had almost reached the low point before he knew it.
He looked around and realized that Chen Yongwei had already gone far. He quickly raised the chisel and moved faster. He had to dig back more before the water rose and submerged the bergamot snails in the depression.
If you pick out the fattest ones and send them to restaurants, even if you only sell them for one yuan per catty, you can still make a hundred or ten yuan in income from a hundred catties.
The sun was scorching hot and the sea breeze was blowing, but I didn't feel hot at all. I just felt tired and hungry, but for the sake of money, I had to work harder.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Li Changle felt that this piece of Buddha's hand snail growing in the crack of the stone was very tightly attached, and it was much more laborious than when he was cutting it out just now. He used all his strength to carve out a cluster of Buddha's hand snails. I put the bucket in, and when I lowered my head, I realized that the bucket was full.
When I carried it over, I realized that the second sack was already full. I took out a mesh bag from my pocket and poured the bergamot snails in the bucket into it.
At this time, the sea water had begun to rise. He felt his hungry stomach and sighed when he thought that the rice basket containing food was still on the boat. "You are tired and hungry, and life is not easy!" "
I opened the kettle and drank some water, stood on the rock, twisted my swollen waist a few times, moved my sore wrists a few times, shook my sore arms a few times, and yelled at Chen Yongwei who was standing on a rock. shouted.
"Awei, I have about two hundred pounds here. Let's carry it back to the boat to fill my stomach first." "Your father also suffers from rheumatism. When I get sick, I have to go see a Chinese medicine doctor."
Li Changle turned back and said with a smile: "You are very sleepy too. When he called you just now, you almost fell asleep holding the chisel." "Brother, I'll give you the sack. He will go back to carry the bucket. If you put it away, go and carry the leftovers." Get this bag."
When I lifted the net, there was only a red-eyed fish as small as a palm left outside the net bag. "It's so slow to run on horseback."
Zhou Nahuan watched Ah Wei, who was as strong as an ox, taking small steps up the mountain. She also felt that her current labor force was indeed good, and she would have to train hard to be able to sail a boat and go to sea if she had the strength.
The two of them ate rice balls and a few large pieces of candies. They felt that their stomachs were only half full. They picked up the melons and each of them patted one open and ate it before they felt full. "Get up, I'm going out here to earn less. It’s time to come!”
"You don't have any small items out there yet. Come as soon as you finish."
"On a day like that, it's most comfortable to sleep under the boat, just like lying outside a cradle."
Chen Yongwei picked up the sack and walked towards the place where he had just gone up the mountain. When he crossed a rock, he saw a small turtle quickly retreating from the crack of the reef. When I returned to the place where the sack was placed, I picked up the bucket and picked up the sack. Li Changle came right away, took the sack from my shoulder and walked down the mountain.
"The rice balls are also wrong." Li Changle picked up a piece and took a small bite. "It's delicious. My sister-in-law wrapped it with shrimp skin and pickles. It's quite delicious." The two stared at it for a while, feeling sore and bloated. Forbearance, can you tell which one is the water plant and which one is the seahorse?
"Yes, I couldn't do that again last time. I just want to wait until I get old and end up with a disease."
Chen Yongwei saw that there were no more than 80 or 70 seahorses outside the bucket. He thought that it would be the same the last time he fished it. "Your eyes are also tired. He is looking for seabird eggs first. You can go over and cut a few kelp and take it home to dry quickly." Eat quickly."
Chen Yongwei looked back and saw that the waves had washed the stone sculpture back again. He hurriedly picked it up slowly, "That's right. It doesn't weigh more than a pound or four. It's a pity that it was so slow."
Grandma promised and said she would keep the money to buy you a watch. When she went on a blind date in the past, it was not easy to meet guests. At the end of the day, the two of them had a quarrel." "Hehe!"
Before arriving here, I saw that the area connected to Mantou Island was still flooded by sea water. I also found that there was kelp mixed in outside the seagrass. The seahorses were like chameleons in the seaweed, changing their protective colors to the same color as the waterweed.
"He is good at it himself, but he still calls you a robot."
"Bad metaphor!" Li Changle picked up a sack and a net bag, and walked towards the top of the mountain in small steps. When I came back from the boat, Chen Yongwei had just gone from the top of the mountain.
Chen Yongwei put the bergamot snails out of the bucket back into the sack. "The difference is small. Let's go back to eat first, and then go to the seaside at the foot of the mountain to the south to see if we can get any other bad goods?" "Let's go fishing for seahorses first, and then go there." Check to see if there are any seabird eggs." Li Changle pulled me up, stood up, and went over to bring the bucket.
Li Changle rubbed his eyes, put the bucket on and said, "Brother, my eyes are so tired. I just fished them out. Are there any seabird eggs?"
"Brother," Zhou Nahuan patted me, "Did he say he wanted to collect seabird eggs? You guys go to the beach at the foot of the mountain for a walk. There are not many seahorses outside the aquatic plants here. Has he brought a big net?"
"Hehe!" Li Changle laughed naively, nervously carried the sack on his shoulders and walked towards the mountain in small steps.
The sun shone brightly on the rocks, which made my eyes hurt. "Your mother, your eyes are open. You have to go home and sleep for a few hours before delivering the goods to the restaurant." I put the sacks on and got out of the rocks. Outside the cave, I saw a small green crab lying outside the crack of the stone, watching the movement over there with its big eyes as small as rice grains.
Li Changle gave me a hand, "That kind of fish hates eating bergamot snails, and 40% of them are stranded because of their gluttony."
The stone-carved fish has thick flesh, thin scales, and small, large teeth. It hates preying on conchs, mussels, sea urchins, barnacles and other shellfish. Chen Yongwei got off the rock, backed the fish into the bucket, and said, "Let's get the Buddha's conch off the boat first." .”
"It's bad!" Chen Yongwei felt that he had really found a big whip for himself. He quickly stood up, took the bucket I handed him, followed me on the boat, and walked towards the beach on the south side of the big island. go.
After thinking about it, he added, "You saw so many oysters just now. If you had known, you would have dug two out and brought them with you."
"I've been hungry for a long time. I thought you didn't know you were hungry!" Zhou Nahuan replied in a loud voice, "You have cut less than him. Two sacks are full, and not even one net bag is full."
Li Changle carried the rice basket and walked to sit next to me, "Did he say he was hungry?"
The seahorses that were suddenly attacked fled away, and the two took the opportunity to catch more than a dozen seahorses. The seahorses before they escaped were difficult to catch before they swam farther away and were hidden in seaweed. Chen Yongwei picked up the fishing net and went to the puddle. As I scooped the fish towards the stone carving, a wave hit me, and the sea water rolled up the fish, and it disappeared in an instant.
Visual inspection did not weigh more than 1,400 pounds. It was a female crab. It was tied up with hemp rope and put into a bucket before being put into a bucket. An unfamiliar sound of water came from outside the puddle.
"Thank you..." Zhou Nahuan's moved words were still out of her mouth, and she heard me say again, "He has a lot of strength just because he has thin skin and tender flesh. You are just like Bai Li Kui. You have bad intentions to let him Doing hard work."
"From now on, I cook it with plain water, add ginger, rice, minced garlic and a little soy vinegar and eat it. There is a little oil and water on the outside. Of course, my mouth will water after eating it. I just buy a few bones and stew it and eat it."
In the future, if you have money, you will have to buy meat to eat. During that time, you have not earned what you have earned in the past year, so you should buy some meat or something to supplement your grandmother. "Only those who are not good at it should think less."
"Have you ever tasted kelp stewed with bones? I'll cut off a few more. You can go to Tuoqiao tomorrow and buy some bones to try."
"Eat more, this food is too cold to eat raw. It will make your stomach feel better if you eat less." Chen Yongwei took a bite of the rice ball and felt that he would eat anything if he was hungry.
"I'm too hungry!" Chen Yongwei said as he got up and opened the lid of the rice basket. There was a lunch box on top of the melons and large candies. When he took it out and opened it, there were only two small rice balls outside. "The old man used to be able to say that others were good, but he had to be beaten. of."
"Brother, you are using money now, and it is the same for your uncle."
Chen Yongwei gave me a sideways look, "He dares to take a nap while standing under the rock. He is going to die!"
"Brother, you're right. It's so pitiful to be sick when you're old. Do you think you were like Uncle Tang, whose bones are more accurate than weather forecasts?" Chen Yongwei collapsed under the deck and moved because he wanted to move, just like that. I slept in total darkness.
"Damn it, he still wants to run away!"
"His tongue is getting sharper and sharper!"
"I made a hot meal for the morning. Last time I went to sea, I told my sister-in-law to prepare some bad food for you." When you came home, your aunt came to your house to borrow money from your grandma, saying it was for the two of you. Share interest.
"Damn, he's so slow, he's a robot!"
"Take it away and put it out of the bucket." Chen Yongwei squinted his eyes and wanted to move his fingers.
".." Chen Yongwei kicked my ass, "One moment he said you were good, the next moment he said you were thin, tender and strong, so he wanted to be beaten, right?" "Almost, luckily he called you, come on This is the first time I’m so tired!”
"Come on, you can carry a sack back first."
Zhou Nahuan, on the other hand, acted like a big daughter-in-law, holding a bucket in one hand and following me, climbing down the mountain quickly. "Ah Wei, come here quickly, there is a small stone sculpture, and there is no red-eyed fish outside the puddle."
The most delicious thing about the stone carving fish is the fish meat rather than its skin. It tastes refreshing but greasy. It is said that it can also prevent cardiovascular aging. "Brother, here, the stone carving fish is in front of him." Li Changle stood under the reef and shouted. Got up.
Li Changle shook his head in disgust, "You are disgusted. If you eat too much kelp from now on, your mouth will water every time you eat it."
Speaking of Tuqiao, Chen Yongwei remembered that the money from today's sale had not been lent to Uncle Wang, and told Li Changle what happened. Li Changle said angrily, "You forgot to tell him, The news about you encountering crabs moving has spread to Shaji Village next door.
Chen Yongwei slowed down his pace and followed me down the mountain out of breath. Before disembarking, he put the snails into the cabin, turned around and sat down on the cold deck below, holding his head and lying on it.
I tried it with pliers first. It was too short. There was a way to hook it out. I went down and took out the iron hook. Instead of hitting it with its small claws, the blue crab counterattacked with its small claws and slowly clamped the iron hook. I took the opportunity to pull him out.
When I looked over, there was not a small gray-and-white fish outside the puddle, nor a red-eyed fish whose eyes took up one-seventh of its head.
Chapter completed!
