"I'm just hungry!" Li Changle happily took the boiled corn she brought and handed one to Chen Yongwei. He also took one and started to nibble on it. After Zhou Ruonan and the other three put the catches in the buckets, Lift the sack off the backpack and place it on the ground.
"Mom, where did you two pry such big oysters?" Mother Li looked at the basket and shouted in surprise.
Grandma Chen also turned to look at the two of them in surprise, "Where can there be such good oysters on the reef beach? How far have you traveled?"
"There are many bergamot snails on the cliffs in the cave. They are just like picking up money." Chen Yongwei pointed out the scenes on the cliffs of the cave to them.
????????????
"There are good things here!" Seeing their disbelief, Li Changle put down the boiled corn and proudly lifted the sack off the other basket, "Take a look!
When the three of them saw the Buddha's conch in the basket, they were all stunned.
Zhou Ruonan has been shopping for several years, but has never seen such a good product. Looking at the bergamot snails and oysters in the basket, it feels like picking up money.
Mother Li excitedly picked up a Buddha's hand snail and said, "My dear, I pried such a big Buddha's hand snail with his father on a desert island when I was just married."
"Yeah, I haven't seen such a good bergamot conch in years." Grandma Chen thinks Ah Wei is more eye-catching, Ah Le has a good brain, and good luck. More importantly, they have known each other since they were young.
Ah Le was a little out of touch in the past, but he was good-natured. Ah Wei followed him and it was only a matter of time before he became prosperous.
Mother Li thought about selling the catch in the evening, "Ale, the smallest ones of these oysters are more than half a catty. They are too cheap for a dime each. You can work out the price with Adong's family tomorrow." Li Changle swallowed the corn in his mouth, "Oysters Not for sale, everything is open..."
Li's mother asked anxiously: "What are you doing? A Dong's price is not good. If you send such a big one to a restaurant to sell it, it should cost more than a dime." Zhou Ruonan looked at the oysters in the basket, took them and said, "A Le, you Do you want to start selling dried oyster meat?"
Li Changle nodded, "I plan to open all the ones I can pry back later, just to dry the oysters and use up fuel."
Mother Li frowned and looked at him, "A hundred kilograms of oyster meat only consumes half a bowl of oil, so who would be willing to buy and eat it? One kilogram of oyster meat only requires four ounces of dried oyster meat. If the weather is not good, it will be ruined by a rain." "
"I know, let me show you something." Li Changle took the pearl out of his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand, looking at the others triumphantly, "Look, we got this out of the oyster."
"What is it? Pearls?" The three women all moved closer and looked at the soft fluorescent beads that shone under the light.
"It's an oyster bead!" Grandma Chen picked up the bead and said excitedly, "Taiwan Awei opened one before and sold it for three silver dollars!" "I heard his grandma say that this is the first time I've seen it in so many years. Here, the pearl emerges from the oyster."
Mother Li took the beads and looked at them, as if she understood his plan, "You don't want to open oysters to get pearls, do you?"
"Yes, even if we sell them for 2 cents each, the oysters on the cliff can only be sold for two to three hundred yuan at most. If they are all opened, we can get seven or eight beads. In addition to the money we make from selling dried oysters, the money we earn is from selling Several times as much as oysters."
"You are dreaming! It is such a good thing. We have been searching the sea for decades, and we have never found an oyster bead." "Yes, Ah Le, Ah Nai has lived for decades, and she has only seen one." For once, it’s easier to sell oysters.”
Zhou Ruonan also felt it was a bit unrealistic, "Ale, I think Grandma and Grandma Chen are right. The probability of oysters producing pearls is very low.
If you think about it, if it was really that easy, we wouldn’t sell the oysters we pried home, but would keep them all for pearls. Instead of gambling on an unknown quantity, it would be more economical to sell them.”
"A'nan is right, don't think about it, just send it to a restaurant and sell it honestly." Mother Li said angrily.
Grandma Chen also felt that what the two of them said was right, "Yes, Ah Le, his great-grandfather has been here for many years. It's hard to find this thing."
It was hard for Li Changle to tell them that he had seen it with his own eyes in his previous life, and had also heard that the oysters inside could produce pearls, and there were even bigger ones than the one he ate. The most important thing was that the millennium was still far away. There are still more than ten years left, and he is not sure how many beads have grown?
"Anan, believe me, the environment inside the cave is different from the outside. The probability of those oysters producing beads is definitely higher than outside.
Mother Li glanced at him, "You have only lived in peace for a few days, and you are starting to look at how high the mountains are. Why can't you work honestly to make money, but you want to make a lot of money with your whims?"
Seeing that they didn't understand him at all, Li Changle frowned and said, "Ten thousand steps back, even if the beads can't be drawn, I didn't throw away the oyster meat.
It’s just a little troublesome to dry the oyster meat. Besides, the price of dried oyster meat is not low. You have to be more flexible in order to make more money."
Seeing that Chen Yongwei was opposed to him, he hurriedly spoke to him, "Aunt, sister-in-law, my brother only ate one oyster and he got a pearl. He is very lucky. Maybe the oysters behind him can really produce a few pearls!"
Zhou Ruonan thought about what he had gained in the past few days and felt that Li Changle's luck was indeed good. If he didn't obey him this time and his enthusiasm was dampened, and he would be doing nothing all day long like before, wandering around like a wandering spirit, he would be in trouble.
She reached out and took the beads from Li's mother's hand, "Mommy, Ah Wei is right. Ah Le's luck is indeed very good during this period. Maybe he will be able to get a few more beads!" "Look at this. It's a pearl, round and in good condition, and it should be worth some money. If you can open a few more of the same kind and add dried oyster meat, you can earn much more than selling oysters."
Seeing that Zhou Ruonan agreed, Mother Li glared at her angrily, "The things belong to you. Since the three of you have no objections, why should I do something so disgusting?"
Seeing that they all agreed, Grandma Chen said to Mother Li with a smile: "The typhoon has just passed, and it is a good time to dry oyster meat. These oysters are more than one catty in size, and there are not many of them weighing one or two hundred catties. They are not ready after opening." It doesn’t take much effort.”
Mother Li nodded and said, "Grow it for one night and then dry it out tomorrow."
"I'll come over tomorrow morning to help open the oysters." Grandma Chen looked at Chen Yongwei, "We're going back, and we have to go to the woods to find a ground cage tomorrow morning." "Okay!" Chen Yongwei picked up the backpack, "Brother, when will we go tomorrow morning? "
"Let's go to five o'clock. It's too late for fear of being stolen." Li Changle poured the white shrimps in the basin into the vegetable basket. "I divided the shrimps and took them back to eat tomorrow morning." "Okay!" Chen Yongwei stretched out his hand to take it. , "I'll call you tomorrow morning."
Seeing that his grandfather and grandson were about to leave, Zhou Ruonan hurriedly said: "Awei, the money from tonight's sale has not been divided yet!"
"When we sell them all tomorrow, we can share them together." Chen Yongwei said and helped Grandma Chen open the door and left. "I'm going back too. You guys go to bed early." Mother Li also followed her out.
Seeing that Zhou Ruonan was still cleaning up, Li Changle went to carry the bucket to the well, took a shower and went home. After closing the door, he saw her holding her little son coming from the toilet, and followed her back to the room.
Zhou Ruonan gently put his son on the bed, and the little boy fell asleep immediately.
Li Changle opened the drawer and took out the bead and the conch fossil, "Nan, what do you think this is?" Zhou Ruonan took it and took a look, "It looks a bit like a conch fossil."
"It's a bit like, originally, when I make money, I will buy two pieces of gold to make jewelry for you."
As he spoke, Li Changle took her calloused hand again and put the pearls in her hand, "When I open a few more beads, we will leave a few for you to make a pair of earrings and a necklace and pendant." "
Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes at him angrily, "It's hard to find even one. You still want to find a few more. If you can't find pearls tomorrow, I told my father that you won't be allowed to do it on your own."
"As long as you open your mouth, my father will stop talking about me." Li Changle looked at her, "Honey, I think there must be pearls. You believe me, I'm not wrong." Zhou Ruonan smiled and nodded his nose. "Believe me! You won't lose any money if you open it to dry the dried oyster meat. It just takes a little effort."
"That sentence at the beginning sounds much more comfortable." Li Changle collapsed on the bed, rubbing his sore hands, "Have the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law found any good stuff?"
"I didn't ask the second sister-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law said they went there too late. She found two blue crabs, a few flower crabs, three pounds of sand, and a lot of clams. They sold them for seven or eight yuan."
"Your husband is still very capable, and he earned so much in one night." "You didn't discover the sea urchin, he's just a lucky man."
"It's always me who came up with the way to catch octopuses!" Li Changle smiled and hugged her sideways, "It's too late and I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I'll let you go first!" "I'm tired, but I still want to think of something else. ." Zhou Ruonan glared at him angrily, stretched out her hand to push him out, "It's such a hot day, it's not too hot to squeeze in together."
Li Changle hugged her and didn't let go, "I'm going to squeeze, I'm squeezing my wife, but I'm not squeezing anyone else." He yawned, "My wife, I'm tired, let me hold you for a while." "Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan He agreed softly, and soon the sound of snoring could be heard in his ears.
She turned to look at the sleeping man, thinking that he usually didn't snore when sleeping. He must have been very tired today and would have to eat better tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, Li Changle was woken up by Zhou Ruonan, only to find that she had already prepared rice, including white rice, seaweed soup, boiled shrimp, and a bowl of egg noodles. "Nan, what are you doing up so early? You don't have breakfast in the morning. I'm hungry, I can just eat whatever I want."
Zhou Ruonan took a bowl of rice and said, "I ate some corn last night. I'm tired and have nothing to eat. It's not your fault that your body is broken." "My wife still loves me." Li Changle smiled and leaned in. I kissed her at the front door and went to the back door to brush my teeth and wash my face.
