Sister-in-law Li and his wife's eyes lit up after hearing this. They all turned to look at Brother Li and his wife, "What do you think?"
Construction of a house is about to start, and there is still such a big gap in the family's money. There is also a typhoon and we can't go out to sea to make money. Now there is an opportunity to make money. Everyone is focused on making more money.
"The profit from one jellyfish is so different, what else is there to say!" Sister-in-law Li said without hesitation, "Pick them all up and send them to Lucheng to ask my mother-in-law to sell them. Then we will give her a head."
Li Changle smiled and said: "That's what I planned, after all, I still have to use her old man's shop."
"If you have a shop, why worry about it? Hurry up and fish in the water. When the tide rises, we will go to Uncle Azhen's house to buy sea salt." After that, Brother Li took the bamboo basket into the water and continued working.
Fresh jellyfish is bitter in the mouth. To pickle the jellyfish skin, you need to use coarse-grained sea salt and a certain proportion of edible alum. Li's second uncle's family sells salt from the sun, and a load of salt only costs four or five yuan.
"Brother, I'm here." Chen Yongwei ran over with a bunch of guys on his back, followed by Grandma Chen, Mother Li, brother and sister Li Changshui, the Jin brothers and Old Man Jin.
It turned out that when Chen Yongwei went back to get household items, Grandma Chen went to Li's house to help weave a trawl net. She and Li's mother learned that Li Changle and others had gone to the beach to fish for jellyfish. They felt uneasy and followed him.
On the way, I met Li Changshui brother and sister, so I simply called them to join them. When they arrived at Nanshan, the Jin family saw a group of them carrying their belongings on their backs and heading towards the seaside, so they followed them again.
"Ouch~" Grandma Chen looked at the pile of jellyfish and shouted in surprise, "These jellyfish are quite big."
"Yeah! Maybe there was a typhoon and it was blown ashore."
When Old Man Jin saw the pile of jellyfish, his mustache stood up, "Oh my god, have you caught so many jellyfish?"
He came to the beach in the morning and picked up a few hairy fish and some shellfish, but didn't even see a jellyfish.
He saw it when he came. No wonder everyone in the village said that Ale Shipping is good!
"Third uncle, what are you doing standing still? Hurry back and get your belongings!" Before Boss Jin could finish his words, he had already run away.
The treasures in the sea belong to everyone. As long as they are not caught in a net and put into a basket, anyone who sees them can catch them.
"Hurry up, point to the big one and fish it out!" Brother Li and Brother Li picked up the net and ran towards the sea quickly.
Just kidding, can you run faster? The Jin family is here, and there will be other families soon.
The small corner of the jellyfish, the two corners in the middle, and the large triangle are more valuable after pickling. At this moment, there are small coins floating on the sea.
What you take home is your own. If you are quick, you will earn more; if you are slow, you will earn less!
Li Changle made arrangements loudly, "Ah Wei, Ah Shui, hurry up and fish out, be careful not to be swept away by the waves. Grandma and Grandma Chen took Ah Nan and sister-in-law to kill the jellyfish and dehydrate them."
Jellyfish contain a lot of water, so after killing them, they are buried in sea sand to remove the water.
After hearing this, Li Changshui said to Li Yufang: "Little sister, please stop going into the water and go help Ernie to kill the jellyfish."
"Brother, be careful!" Li Yufang looked at the turbulent waves and realized that she couldn't even stand on her feet in the water, let alone catch jellyfish.
"Don't worry!" Li Changshui strode away holding the net.
Mother Li looked at Li Changle who was striding away, frowned and looked at Zhou Ruonan and the others, "Should we pickle the jellyfish skin ourselves?"
"Yes, we'll marinate it ourselves!" Li Changle responded and turned around to leave.
Seeing Mother Li frowning, Zhou Ruonan quickly explained in a low voice, "Auntie, we have agreed to pickle it and send it to Lucheng for sale!"
"Yeah! We have already discussed it. Ah Le said he can pickle it and sell it for a good deal." Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li also helped.
"OK!"
Mother Li gave a brief response, then carried the basket to the beach where the jellyfish were piled. She took out the rubber gloves from the basket and put them on. She took out a bamboo knife and a scraper that was somewhat similar to a pig-killing razor.
Share it with several people.
The tools for killing jellyfish were purchased in the fishery cooperative when I was earning work points.
Sister-in-law Li handed the bamboo knife to Zhou Ruonan, "Nan, be careful to avoid the jellyfish whiskers, they sting people and make them itchy."
"Face stings are not very toxic, so you are not afraid of being stung. If your hands are itchy, the old fisherman will teach you a good way. Go back and get some alum mixed with water and rinse it for a while, and it will be cured soon."
Brother Li was behind her holding a copy net and said with a smile.
"Of course you're fine because of your thick skin. Anan was stung by a sand sting last time and her head and face were swollen." Sister-in-law Li thought of Zhou Ruonan's face, which was swollen like jellyfish skin and shiny, and she felt frightened for a while.
Mother Li nodded with lingering fear, "We were all shocked that time!"
"The doctor said it's because my skin is particularly sensitive to jellyfish toxin."
Zhou Ruonan pulled a jellyfish apart, then after thinking about it, he came closer to Li's mother and whispered: "Mommy, pack the jellyfish brains, jellyfish lining, and jellyfish blood separately. Ah Le will sell them in a restaurant later."
"Oh!" Mother Li and Granny Chen nodded repeatedly. They pulled a jellyfish and started fucking it. Their movements were even more agile than Zhou Ruonan's.
The light transparent reddish-brown one is the noodle sting, and the white and light-colored sand sting is. The noodle sting has a better taste and is more nutritious, while the sand sting is relatively worse.
The jellyfish can be divided into two parts, the upper umbrella part and the lower tentacle part. The tentacle part has many tentacles. The jellyfish toxins are concentrated in this position. After being cut off, they cannot sting people and secrete toxins.
Everyone first cuts off the jellyfish whiskers with a bamboo knife, and then uses the bamboo knife to cut off the base of the neck where the jellyfish skin and the jellyfish tentacles are connected.
Carefully pull out the jellyfish brain from the jellyfish head, then use a scraper to scrape out the jellyfish lining and blood and put them into a bucket of water.
Scrape off the inedible paste, and then scrape off the black paste on the neck connected to the tentacles until the entire jellyfish skin becomes transparent and smooth.
Finally, use a knife to cut the thick jellyfish claws, and bury them together with the jellyfish skin in sea sand to dehydrate them.
The meat of the jellyfish tentacles is the thickest, so fishermen call it "jellyfish claws", and the pickled jellyfish claws are called "jellyfish heads".
The meat of the jellyfish head is thicker and has a crisp texture. The skin of the jellyfish is slightly softer in texture and chewy.
Jellyfish has the functions of moistening the throat and dispersing dryness, eliminating accumulation and stagnation, and moisturizing the intestines and laxative. However, it is best to eat less if the spleen and stomach are weak.
Among the few people who worked, Sister-in-law Li and Li Yufang were the most agile. They were very strong and fast. While the others were killing one, they were already killing the second one.
Li Changle and Li Changshui dragged the jellyfish ashore and let him fall next to the pile of jellyfish in the Li family's house. They counted the money and paid him when the work was done, so as not to send him to the cooperative to sell.
Li Changle looked at Li Yufang, thought for a moment and said, "Xiaofang does a good job. Brother Handi will give you two yuan as wages."
"I don't want it. If you want to pay me, I won't kill it for you!" After saying this, Li Yufang compacted the processed jellyfish skin with a pile of sand, pulled one over and started drying it.
Mother Li turned her around and said, "Xiaofang, listen to your brother A Le, we can make a profit by killing the pickled jellyfish skins and selling them. You can't do it for free."
"Yes, Xiaofang, you and your brother have just separated. Look at your house. If your brother doesn't save more money, what will he use to build a new house and marry a wife in the future?"
"Then give me a little less. It's only two yuan for a day's work!" She knew in her heart that Brother A Le wanted to help the brothers and sisters, but they had already helped them a lot, and they couldn't be too greedy.
Grandma Chen laughed and said, "There are also silly girls who think the wages are too high!"
"Yes, both brothers and sisters are good at work. After working hard for a few years, they can save enough money to build a new house."
Jin Hui, the second son of Mr. Jin, went into the water to grab a jellyfish and dragged it to the shore without even using tools.
When Jin Laoer saw Mother Li and others killing jellyfish, he asked curiously: "Hey, don't you give it to the cooperative to sell?"
"We plan to pickle the jellyfish skins ourselves and sell them!" Zhou Ruonan raised his head and said, "Brother Jin, you can also sell us what you catch, and the price will be determined by the cooperative."
"Okay! It saves time!" Jin Laoer happily agreed, "I'll put this pile and settle the accounts after the work is done."
"My family's are over here, we'll figure it out later!" Jin Hui put down the jellyfish and turned around, fearing that if he moved a step slower, he would miss one less jellyfish.
After a while, Old Man Jin and Boss Jin came with their belongings. When they learned that the Li family was going to collect jellyfish, they were very happy and ran towards the sea happily.
A group of men were having sex in full swing in the sea. On the beach, the women were working hard. After a while, the daughter-in-law of the Jin family came with a few men.
These people are all from the immigrant village. Everyone in the same village is related to them. If there is money in the sea, why don’t you come and pick it up?
Li Changle wished that the more people he had, the better. It would be best to give him tens of thousands of catties, so that the pickled jellyfish skin could be sold for a year!
Zhou Ruonan saw more and more jellyfish piled up on the beach, and fewer and fewer jellyfish on the sea. He stood up and wiped his hands on his waist, "Mom, I'll go home and get the money and account books to collect the jellyfish."
"Anan, you go back on the tricycle and bring the rubber bucket." Li Changle carried the net to the shore and handed her the tricycle key.
Mother Li pulled him and whispered: "Ale, the water tank at home is not enough, why don't you go back and get it, and go to Accountant Chen to ask if the big tanks used in the village's side business are still there?"
"I understand, then I'll go back!" Li Changle took the key handed over by Zhou Ruonan, took out his net bag, grabbed some jellyfish brains and jellyfish linings, and strode towards Nanshan.
Twenty minutes later, he rode a tricycle to Accountant Chen's canteen, got off the car and walked to the window, where he saw Accountant Chen lying on the rocking chair and listening to the radio leisurely.
"Uncle A Dong, your life is so beautiful that even gods and goddesses would not change it."
Accountant Chen opened his eyes and saw that it was him, "You brat, if you didn't stay at home during the typhoon, where did you go running around?"
"Does coming here count as a fool?" Li Changle entered the canteen with a smile, "When I went to Nanshan to work, I went to the beach for a walk, and happened to encounter a jellyfish tide. I planned to pickle jellyfish skins and sell them.
"
Accountant Chen sat up from the rocking chair and said, "Good boy, you can encounter a tide of jellyfish when you go around. Was he the biological son of Master Hai Long in his previous life?"
