After harvesting two large blue crabs in a row, he felt that the puddle was pretty good, so he rolled up his trouser legs and prepared to continue walking deeper.
????????????
"Brother A Le, are you coming to sea fishing too?" A naive voice sounded from behind.
Li Changle turned around and saw a tall, strong young man with a somewhat naive face standing behind him. He looked like he wanted to get closer but didn't dare to get close. He shouted happily: "Awei, are you here too?"
Chen Yongwei's father died in the sea when he was five years old. His grandmother remarried and moved to another town the next year. He lived with his grandmother and two aunts. The two families were separated by a row, and the two played together since childhood. When others bullied him, Li Changle often helped him.
When he grew up, he disliked Ah Wei for being naive and felt that playing with him was a bad idea. He felt embarrassed every time he saw him... But in the end, the only one who offered him a helping hand was this friend from his childhood.
Chen Yongwei saw him smiling and grinned happily, "I heard you found rice fish and giant flower dragon." He heard A Kuan say that A Le Ge was different from before and was willing to go. I came here to make money from scouring the sea.
"Well!" Li Changle looked at the bucket he was carrying, "Did you find anything good?
Chen Yongwei put down the bucket and said, "I dug a few extra large sand pits and wanted you to cook them for Uncle Atang."
"Idiot!" Li Changle looked at the shabu as big as a small bowl in the bucket and said with a smile, "He is old and injured. If I cook this thing for him, he can still rest in peace. That’s weird.”
"My grandma said that Shahui is a great supplement, and she asked me to take more supplements..."
"Damn it!" Li Changle looked at him with great joy, "You're a young boy, and you don't have as much food as your wife. What are you doing? To be honest, is it because the five-fingered girl uses too much?"
"Hey!" Chen Yongwei scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled innocently but said nothing.
Li Changle kicked him, "You wretched fellow!"
He remembered that in his previous life, Awei had a crush on Amei from Lai Laoer's family. Every time he saw the girl, he blushed, kept rubbing his hands, and couldn't even say a word. He didn't confess his love to the girl until she got married. , no one even looked at him.
When Ah Wei was in his thirties, he betrothed a widow with two children. Fortunately, both the widow and the children were conscientious and had always been kind to him.
"Brother, I heard A Kuan say on the tidal flat that you asked Wang Mazi to borrow money to pay for the hospitalization fee. I have saved more than 80 yuan. I will give it to you to pay when you get back."
"Thank you, Awei!" Li Changle put his hand on his shoulder gratefully, "To tell you the truth, I haven't used up the money from selling fish this morning, so I purposely asked Wang Mazi to borrow money."
"Why?" Chen Yongwei looked at him puzzled, "My grandma said that their family belongs to the Pixiu family and they can only get in and out. Why would you go to him to borrow money?"
"..." Li Changle told him what he had told Sister-in-law Li in the morning, "Your brother, I have decided to change my ways from today onwards, and make money honestly by scouring the sea, and make a lot of money."
After hearing this, Chen Yongwei smiled and shook his head, "Brother, you can only make a living by fishing on the sea. To make a lot of money, you have to buy a big motor boat to catch fish in the fishing ground, and you have to have good luck to make it. Originally, I planned to help people on the north shore catch fish. I can earn money from fishing and buy a big motor boat, but unfortunately my grandma is worried that I will be like my dad, so she won’t let me go.”
Listen! Who said Ah Wei is not smart! In fact, he knows everything. It’s just that he lost his father when he was a child, his mother remarried, his family was poor, and he was bullied by the villagers and dared not say anything, so he was called a fool and not smart. .
"Your grandma still doesn't allow you to help the boat?"
"I never agreed, saying that I am the only one left in our room. If I have another misfortune, she won't be able to survive."
"I also plan to earn money to buy a small sailboat first!"
"This is a good thing! If you don't have enough money, come to me later and I will lend it to you."
"Okay!" Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "Have you been digging sand on the tidal flats during this time?"
Chen Yongwei nodded, "The price of tidal flats these days is pretty good. The big ones can be sold for four or five cents a pound, and the small ones can be sold for two cents. There is quite a lot of tidal flats I just dug. How about that?" Let’s go dig some sand, shall we?”
"Anan and I brought Xiaohai and Xiaozhou here. Their short legs stepped into the mud and it was up to their knees."
Summer and autumn are the seasons for digging sand. When he came here, he saw groups of beachcombers digging for sand from the mudflat.
In some places, sand garlic is also called "sand garlic". It is a coelenterate, and its scientific name is sea anemone. It is said that there are thousands of species.
The kind of squid that people here often eat is called a spherical squid. It is a kind of mollusk on the beach. When the tide goes out, its head spreads out like a flower, and it lies limply on the beach.
Once you catch it, it will immediately become swollen and hard; once it detects any disturbance, it will crawl into the hole under its body, making it difficult for inexperienced people to catch it.
It is also divided into male and female, the long male and the round female. Compared with other colorful, coquettish and beautiful family members, this guy looks a little anxious, green and yellow, with a brushed head, like a squeaky garlic head. He is a veritable country bumpkin.
In addition to the spherical sand pit, there is also a kind of sand pit called chicken tripe intestine. As the name suggests, this guy is shaped like a long chicken tripe intestine. It likes to dig deep pits and hide in the tidal flats more than one meter deep. It is difficult to dig out with bare hands. , you have to dig a shovel.
People here think that Shahu is a great tonic. It is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac. It is also known as Cordyceps sinensis in the sea. Some people call it vulgarly "sea egg" - it is said to be the phallus of the sea. As for why , maybe because of its appearance?
In fact, people here like sashimi, mainly because it tastes really delicious. Whether it is stewed meat or soup, it is a rare delicacy.
Li Changle's favorite thing is the bean noodles stewed in Shahuo made by his grandmother. Bean noodles are called by the locals, but they are actually vermicelli made from sweet potato flour.
The method of stewing vermicelli in Shahu is very simple. Clean the Shahu and simmer it over low heat to bring out the rich paste in its belly. Then stew it with vermicelli. The Shahu paste is evenly wrapped on the vermicelli, making people smell it from a distance. I'm salivating when I arrive.
He remembered that when he first ate this thing, he chewed it a few times and felt that there was no other taste in his mouth except the fresh characters. He felt that he swallowed it without even having time to chew it a few more times. When he tasted it aftertaste, he only had a mouthful of fresh flavor.
These days, sashimi is not a rare thing, it is still a common dish on the fishermen's table. A sashimi as big as the mouth of a bowl only costs four or five cents a pound, just like the yellow croaker at this time is only one dollar more than a pound.
In more than ten years, even the slightly larger ones will cost dozens of yuan per catty, and the larger ones will cost even more.
