Li Changle and Chen Yongwei handed over the 100 yuan that Accountant Chen said to the village and went home. Zhang Dejin, Brother Li, and Brother Li had already packed the roof tiles with bricks, packed their things, and were ready to go home.
Sister-in-law Li brought dried fish and shrimps, Sister-in-law Li brought jellyfish skins, and Zhou Ruonan brought some dried seahorses, qingzhan, mackerel heads, and dried oysters and packed a big bag for her.
Mother Li took a large bag of dried prunes, a basket of salted duck eggs, and a large bundle of bean noodles and loaded them on the tricycle.
Li Changxi pointed at the bean noodles dumbfounded, "Auntie, I've just made a lot of bean noodles at home, and I've sent you a lot of them this time, so why don't you pretend to be them?"
"What's yours is yours, and what I do is what I did." Mother Li put it on the tricycle without any explanation, "Ale, send your sister and brother-in-law to the road."
"Okay!"
Li Changle carried his two nieces and nephew into the car, got on the tricycle and pedaled out of the village. Li's mother followed behind and happily sent her daughter and her family to the entrance of the village before reluctantly returning home.
Although Shatou Village and Li'ao were only two or three hours' walk away, Li Changxi rarely came to her maternal home except during holidays, and Li's mother never even went to her daughter's house throughout the year.
Li Changle sent his sister's family to the main road, waited for the minibus to arrive, put them on the bus, and then rode his tricycle back. He saw a dark cloud flying in front of him, and the rain swept past like a big wave.
The weather at the beach is so strange, but it is only ten meters away. The people in front were drenched by the heavy rain, but the people behind were not touched by a drop of rain.
By the time he got home on his third wheel, his parents were weaving nets at home, and a few little ones were helping dry oyster meat and dried fish at home, while the others had gone to Nanshan to dig tree stumps and clay.
The wind is so strong, I wonder if the tide has receded a little?
If you have to retreat, this kind of weather is a good time to pick up seafood.
Li Changle pedaled his tricycle to the alley. After thinking about it, he stopped the car and walked back.
Father Li stopped the shuttle in his hand and asked, "What are you doing when you come back?"
"I'll drink some water!"
Li Changle said casually, went back to the house to get some hemp rope, folded a few net pockets and put them in his trouser pockets, rolled up the net and hid it behind his back. While Li's father lowered his head, he quickly left the yard and pedaled a tricycle to Nanshan.
When I arrived at the intersection of Nanshan Road, I stretched my neck and looked at the busy people in the valley. I stopped the tricycle and got out of the car, locked it, and walked towards the seaside with the net in hand. The wind whistled, and the curly hair suddenly turned into a chicken.
nest.
When walking past a strange-shaped low reef, I saw densely packed sea cockroaches crawling on it, which made my scalp numb.
This stuff is disgusting, and it is said that it is still a traditional Chinese medicine. People in the fishing village who have boils or sprains will grab some, mash it, and apply it on it, just a few times and it will be fine.
Walking through the rocks and walking towards the seaside, you can see from a distance that the tide is receding a little, and the waves are rolling in layer by layer.
Li Changle suddenly noticed something was wrong on the sea surface, and hurriedly ran forward a few steps, only to see groups of colorful spherical translucent objects floating on the sea surface.
"Damn it~ Could it be a jellyfish tide?"
He exclaimed and rushed forward, only to see jellyfish, large and small, floating on the yellow sea like parachutes, and some were stranded on the beach.
"Let me choke, it's really a jellyfish!" Li Changle thought of the jellyfish tide that almost captured the power station in his previous life, but he never expected that he would be able to see it with his own eyes.
I saw swarms of thousands of jellyfish floating on the sea, which was extremely spectacular.
It was a pity that he didn't have a mobile phone, otherwise he would have taken a picture and showed it to his son when he came back to open their eyes.
Li Changle watched for a while, spread the net on the beach, picked up a stranded jellyfish the size of a washbasin and put it into the net. When he lifted it up, he realized that it didn't look very big, but it weighed a lot. He estimated it to be twenty or thirty.
catty.
"It's so big, there's only two ounces of meat, and the whole body is full of water!"
Li Changle ran for a few steps carrying the jellyfish. He stopped and looked at the watery jellyfish in the net bag. He felt that carrying it was a burden, so he simply dropped the net and turned around and ran towards the foundation.
When I ran to the homestead, I was so tired that I put my hands on my knees, hunched over and panting.
Brother Li saw that he was running out of breath, so he laughed and joked, "What are you doing running so fast? There is a dog chasing you?"
Zhou Ruonan saw that his pants were soaked, "Ale, did you go to the beach again?"
"Yeah!" Li Changle took a breath and waved to Chen Yongwei, "There are a lot of jellyfish on the sea. Ah Wei quickly rode back to get rubber gloves, a net, a basket, and a bamboo knife."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei said nothing, threw down his hoe, got on his bicycle and went home to get his belongings.
"Ale, jellyfish and jellyfish look similar. You don't mistake jellyfish for jellyfish, right?"
"I've never eaten pork and I've never seen a pig run away! I picked one up with my own hands, but I thought it was in the way, so I threw it into a net and threw it on the beach!" Li Changle said and turned around and ran away.
Jellyfish are also jellyfish, but jellyfish are not jellyfish.
Jellyfish is just a small branch of the jellyfish family. As a fishery resource these days, a large number of fishes are caught for food, such as noodle stingers, sand stingers, etc.
The noodle stingray tastes better and is not big in size, usually weighing only a dozen to twenty or thirty kilograms. The sand jellyfish is much larger, weighing several hundred kilograms.
"Ale, wait for me!" Zhou Ruonan rushed to chase,
Brother Li was the quickest to respond, "Whatever he is, just go to the beach and you will find out!" After that, he chased after him.
"Afang, Azhen, hurry up and bring the dustpan and basket. If it really happens, there will be something to salvage."
"Oh!" Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li quickly emptied the belongings and started chasing after them.
Brother Li over there ran to the intersection and saw him parking his tricycle on the side of the road. He quickly stepped forward and took a look and saw that the lock was locked, so he continued to chase.
Several people chased him to the beach and saw that Li Changle was already carrying a net and starting to work. Zhou Ruonan had no tools and could only watch excitedly.
Because the stinging cells of jellyfish are distributed on the surface of the jellyfish mouth and are very sensitive to touch.
Once touched, stinging wires containing venom will pop out and pierce into the opponent's body. After being stung, the skin will be red, swollen, painful and itchy in mild cases, or shock or even death in severe cases.
But jellyfish are different. The famous box jellyfish, man-of-war jellyfish, lion's mane jellyfish, arctic glow jellyfish, etc. are called swimming killers. Once targeted by them, there is only one way to die.
"What a good boy!" Brother Li exclaimed as he looked at the sea, "There are really jellyfish everywhere!"
"Brother, what are you doing? Hurry up and grab a bamboo basket to catch them!" Li Changle struggled to carry a net full of jellyfish and walked toward the shore, all wet.
"Oh!" Brother Li took the bamboo basket handed by Sister-in-law Li and walked towards the sea. He grabbed the edge of the bamboo basket and picked up a few at once.
Brother Li also excitedly carried the bamboo basket into the sea to fish it out. The sisters-in-law on the shore did not dare to go into the water, so they picked up the stranded jellyfish with dustpans, took them and dumped them on the beach a little away from the sea.
Sister-in-law Li opened a jellyfish, and an octopus crawled out from the conch next to it, squirming its tentacles and quickly fled towards the seaside.
"Mom!" She shouted in surprise, grabbed the octopus, and kept picking at the tentacles it wrapped around her hand.
Zhou Ruonan picked up a jellyfish, turned around and saw a white crab crawling behind Ersao Li, "Second sister-in-law, hurry up, there is a crab behind you!"
"Where?"
Sister-in-law Li looked up and saw a white crab running sideways on the beach very fast. She ran a few steps and stepped on its back shell. She reached out and grabbed the sides of the crab shell and shouted, "Ale, take Ma."
Is the rope loose?"
"I brought it!" Li Changle poured the jellyfish in the net bag on the beach, took out a handful of hemp rope from his pocket and handed it to her, and also brought out several net bags.
"Hehe!" Sister-in-law Li looked at the net bag on the beach and smiled, "Ale's trouser pocket is just like a treasure bag, it has everything!"
Li Changle hurriedly picked it up and put it in his pocket, and said proudly: "I call it preparedness, but you don't understand!"
"Ale is doing things more securely than us now."
Brother Li held the bamboo basket and shouted excitedly, "Fuck~ It's so heavy, I almost couldn't grab the bamboo basket."
Brother Li walked up soaking wet with a bamboo basket, "Ale, how can we deal with so many jellyfish?"
The jellyfish they picked up ranged from small ones weighing more than ten kilograms to large ones ranging from thirty to forty kilograms.
"What else can we do?" Brother Li said cheerfully, "Pick up everything you can and send it to the fishery cooperative to sell. If you catch a few hundred, you can sell them for twenty or thirty yuan at least."
Li Changle frowned after hearing this, "So few?"
“You think it’s weighed by kilograms!”
Brother Li smiled and pointed to the jellyfish in his bamboo basket, which weighed at least thirty or forty kilograms. "The fishery cooperative will collect one triangle for the fish weighing more than thirty kilograms, two jiao for the fish weighing more than twenty kilograms, and one jiao for the fish weighing more than ten kilograms."
"
"It's too cheap to sell fresh goods!" Li Changle shook his head decisively, "Make them all into jellyfish skins and send them to Lucheng to sell to my mother-in-law!"
He remembered that jellyfish linings and brains are relatively valuable. Although he said relatively little, usually hundreds of jins of fresh products can only be sold for one jin, but one jin can be sold for one or two yuan, right?
Kill all the jellyfish, collect them and send them to seafood restaurants to sell, and the price should be more than this.
"Jellyfish brain" is the gonad of jellyfish, which is jelly-like and extremely delicious. "Jellyfish lining" is a thin layer of skin from the fresh jellyfish meat. It is white in color, slightly yellow, and has a smooth, crisp and delicate texture.
Jellyfish blood is a thin layer of brown blood-like film that is torn off from the inside of the jellyfish's umbrella. A large jellyfish only has a tiny bit of blood.
And not every jellyfish has it. Only jellyfish with a long growth period, the epidermis naturally falls off and the reddish-brown membrane can be called "jellyfish blood".
Therefore, it is also the most valuable part of the jellyfish.
These items cannot be pickled and stored for a long time like jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins. They must be simply boiled and then frozen in ice cubes for storage.
Zhou Ruonan nodded and said, "I think we can pickle it and send it to Lucheng for sale. The last time I saw my mother-in-law, I bought jellyfish heads a piece for a pound, and the jellyfish skins can also be sold for eighty or ninety cents."
As she spoke, she poked a jellyfish with a dustpan, and saw a thin layer of brown blood under the umbrella. "There is also something like this, which can be sold for more than ten yuan per pound!"
Li Changle took it and said: "Eight or nine kilograms of fresh food can produce one kilogram of dry goods, and the big ones can weigh thirty or forty kilograms. A jellyfish, not including the jellyfish brain and jellyfish lining, can be sold for more than one piece."
"The big one can earn at least one yuan, and the small one can earn a few cents. We can't go to sea during typhoons, so we can do it ourselves, but it just takes a little effort."
