After Li Changle picked up a few, he found that these purple sea urchins were quite big, with three to five weighing a pound.
In future generations, the wholesale price of wild sea urchins of this quality would be about one to two hundred per catty. I wonder if it can be sold for three or four yuan per catty now? "Awei, how much can this thing be sold for per catty?" "
"Last time I saw them at A Dong's house, they were charging 1.5 cents each." Chen Yongwei picked up one, "Just the small ones, the big ones may be more expensive." "They only sold for 2 or 3 cents each in the past two years. Merchants from out of town came to collect it and only sold it for two cents."
????????????
Li Changle lamented in his heart that such good things only cost one or two cents each, and profiteers like the seafood shop are really making a lot of money! Fortunately, he also has a Phoenix Restaurant, so it should be no problem to send it over for double the price.
The quantity is also large. If you pick them all up, you can sell them for dozens of yuan. Including the large yellow croaker, there are also dozens of yuan. It seems that tonight’s catch is more than a hundred!
Li Changle was working happily. He looked up and saw a dead fish on the edge of the reef. When he got closer, he saw that it was a sole fish skin. It seemed to weigh more than a pound. He picked it up and looked at it. It was still fresh, so he put it away. Into the backpack.
The scientific name of sole fish is jade bald fish. It has a flat body and a tongue shape. In some places, it is also called bull tongue fish.
It is a fish that likes to live on the bottom of the sea. Its meat is fresh and has little fishy smell. It has high requirements for water quality. It likes to live in clear waters. Like hairtail, it will die as soon as it is caught ashore.
The two of them were busy at the rock for about ten minutes before picking up all the purple sea urchins and putting them into the basket. When Chen Yongwei saw that the buckets were full, he simply put the oilcloth bag into the basket and poured all the sea urchins into the basket. At this time, there was Several people came over and saw that they were dumping sea urchins into their baskets, so they all gathered around.
"Wow~ There must be more than a hundred of them..."
"My dear, where did you pick up so many purple sea urchins?" "Ouch! Did you two poke into the sea urchin nest?"
"Ale's luck has been very good these days. There were big dragons and rice fish a few days ago, and now there are so many sea urchins!" "There is also a large yellow croaker here! It looks like it weighs about ten kilograms!"
Li Changle looked at the envious people and said, "I didn't find it, Ah Wei found it." Chen Yongwei didn't say anything, minding his own work.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ It's only been two days since you two discovered the mine, you haven't received the bonus yet, and there are so many sea urchins. This is incredible luck. We have to go to the Lao Ye Palace to pay our respects." "Ah Le will go to the Lao Ye Palace to pay homage in the afternoon. !」
"Oh! Why didn't we think of it? We should have gone to say goodbye if we had known earlier!"
"Don't be jealous. Look at his family's fortune this year. First, the old lady died, then the boat crashed again, and then Uncle Atang was bitten by a five-step snake. Bad things happened one after another. It's time for him to leave. Good luck!"
"Yes, yes! If you have a good fortune, it's time for you to have good luck."
Li Changle recognized that the brother who spoke was the younger son of Father Li, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Atai, you should hurry up and look for it. There might be sea cucumbers, sea urchins, big fish, etc. caught up in the waves." It’s over!」
"Yes, yes, let's look for it too!"
After saying that, they turned around and left, fearing that if they walked too slowly, someone would pick up the good stuff first. "Brother, let's go." Chen Yongwei said, picking up the basket and the bucket.
"Well!" Li Changle looked at the people walking forward, "Go to the big rock and have a look. Put the jar down first, and then go find the jar."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei handed him a cigarette, "Brother, let's go quickly and follow them. If there are good goods, they will pick them up." Li Changle looked at Ah Wei who was striding in front. , I feel that working with this diligent young boy is not a good choice for a lazy person like him.
It's like finding a small leather whip for yourself, being whipped at all times, even if you don't run faster.
The two of them walked behind those people for a while, but didn't even pick up any shellfish. They decided not to follow them and took a shortcut toward the big rock.
The shortcut was still fruitful. The two of them picked up some clams along the way, and also caught two yellow crabs, a giant catfish, and three white crabs in the puddle. Ten minutes later, they arrived near the big rock. Li Chang Le looked at the position of the plastic tank. The tide had receded a lot. He looked down at his soaked pants and didn't bother to take them off under the big rock.
"Awei, let's go and look for it first. If nothing is exposed, poke it with a rake. When the jar sinks, it will be filled with water. It's impossible for everything to be swept away." "Yeah!" Chen Yongwei picked up the kettle and drank. He took a big sip and wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, "Brother, when are we going to the woods to find a ground cage?"
"Wait until daybreak in the grove before going there." Li Changle said with a smile, "Boy, have you been thinking about those cages these past few days and haven't even had a good night's sleep?"
Chen Yongwei chuckled and put down the bucket and basket, and sighed: "Brother, I bought twenty-three ground pots and fifteen crab pots. If they are gone, it will cost dozens of dollars!" "Don't feel bad, even if they are all gone, Yes, I picked up so many sea urchins today, so we’re not at a loss at all!”
"Can the account be settled like this?"
"If you don't think so, is it possible that I have to give you a good beating to make you feel better?"
"I'm not a fool, I like to fight!" Chen Yongwei said, carrying the small rake and walking towards the place where the jars were dropped.
Li Changle walked towards the other side where he had put down the plastic can. After walking a few steps, he was hit by something hard on the sole of his foot. He raised his foot and looked down. He saw a dark red stone half-hidden in the sand. caught his gaze.
He bent down and picked up the stone. It was a dark red conch-shaped stone larger than his egg. "Conch fossil?"
Li Changle rubbed the zither with his hands for a few times and found that it was really different from ordinary stones. It felt smoother and smoother. Even the cover of the shell was clearly visible. The strangest thing was that the circle of the shell was actually orange-red. of.
Under the illumination of the headlight, the stone shone with colorful light. The color was like southern red agate, which was extremely beautiful.
Li Changle looked at the stone in his hand and said in surprise: "Hey, it's still a piece of snail jade. When you get rich later, find someone to polish it and make it a pendant for Ah Nan. It will definitely look good wearing it." He remembered Ah Quhuang, a member of the same clan. When I was shopping on the island, I came across a piece of snail jade. The quality of that piece was not as good as mine. It was as big as a small field and sold for several thousand yuan.
A Can boasted for a long time when he came back, saying that the boss who collected the jewelry said that the snail jade was produced in ancient geological times, earlier than the appearance of dinosaurs on the earth, so only a small one was sold for so much.
"Hey! I found a treasure!" Li Changle happily put the snail jade in his trouser pocket and walked over with the sea water flowing. He was surprised to see that the bamboo pole was still inserted there. "Awei, the bamboo pole here is still there. Where is your side?"
"My side was washed away, but I have found the jar." Chen Yongwei replied in a loud voice. Li Changle pulled up the bamboo pole, and the lead weight of the fishing rope buried under the sand was also pulled out.
Insert the bamboo pole back into the sand, hold the fishing rope and take a big step forward. The first jar is pulled up, and one Wangchao even has its house lifted, and it is still firmly attached to the jar. , refused to move.
The first jar was a hit. Li Changle happily took it out of the jar and put it into the bucket. He pulled the fishing rope forward and harvested a smelly black seal. He threw it into the bucket and continued on. Let’s open the treasure.
When he was about to finish collecting, he suddenly saw a dark thing floating on the sea in front of him. It swam slowly with the waves. He quickly took off his headlamp and looked at it, but he couldn't see clearly. Li Changle was about to shout. Chen Yongwei shouted, "Brother, look what that is, it looks like a fish!"
"It might be a big fish. Go over and catch it before it swims far."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei hurriedly walked in the direction of the black shadow, and Li Changle also put down the fishing rope and swam over. When the water was almost up to his chest, the two finally caught up. Only then did they see clearly that it was a sunfish. , what is shocking is that almost half of this guy's body has been eaten away, and he is still alive.
Chen Yongwei stared at it and marveled, "My mother, what did this fish become? It was chewed into such a horrible shape, and it's not dead yet." "It's rough-skinned and thick-flesh! Come back, it's a waste of time." ." Li Changle turned around and walked back in disappointment.
The sunfish is one of the largest and most bizarre-shaped fish in the world. It is also a giant relative of the pufferfish family and the heaviest of all bony fish.
Although it also has a dorsal fin and a caudal fin, its huge body is propelled by the swing of its small pectoral fins, and its swimming speed is extremely slow. Even if it uses all its strength to drink milk and swims desperately, it can only move forward two meters at most.
Because if you can't swim fast, you'll simply hang out and drift with the current. Even if you are bitten by other fish, you won't escape. If you swim too slow, you won't be able to escape at all.
Perhaps because there are often many luminescent organisms attached to its body, when it swims, the luminescent organisms on its body will emit bright light, which looks like a bright moon from a distance, so it is also known as the "moon fish". The meat of the sunfish is delicious, white in color, and nutritious. It has high value and higher protein content than the famous pomfret and hairtail.
It is said that its intestines are very expensive, and a famous dish in Wanwan, "Miaolong Soup", uses it as the main ingredient.
Fish skin is the raw material for making gelatin or fish oil, and can be used as a lubricant for precision instruments and machinery. Cod liver can be used to make cod liver oil and edible hydrogenated oil.
Fishermen in some places are very taboo about this kind of fish, thinking that catching sunfish will bring bad luck. If you don't believe in catching sunfish and selling it for money, you may be hit by evil spirits at any time, and in serious cases, you may lose your life.
Some places believe it and some places don't. They are the ones who believe it.
Chen Yongwei followed him back through the water, "Brother, are you almost done with the money over there?"
"There are still thirty or forty dollars left." Li Changle turned to look at him, "What about you? How's the harvest?" Chen Yongwei grinned happily, "I'm almost done, most of them are in stock, just look at the tide. More than thirty!" "I probably have thirty or forty Wangchao, a few smelly black seals, and the rest are red seals."
Brother, I think it’s better to put in a jar. Not to mention the cost, you don’t even need to put in the bait. Just come and collect the goods when the time comes.” “It’s called lazy people having lazy ways.”
