Chen Yongwei followed him to the top of the mountain, looked back at Achun and the others who were walking towards the tidal flat, then looked to the left and right, and said, "Brother, what should I do with the Buddha's hand snails that Uncle Kun wants?" "Those guys just now are the same as Wang Laobian. "If they want to follow me and take advantage of my good luck, if they find out about the cave, do you think we can keep those things?" "We can't! These people are like hungry wolves. Two more people won't be enough to cause harm to them!"
"Then it's over!" Li Changle thought for a moment, "How about we rent a boat and go to the island you mentioned to see those bergamot snails you mentioned?"
He felt that it was a pity to sell the Buddha's hand snails in the cave for two yuan a catty. He might as well go to the island to get some first, and wait until they raised the price to three yuan a catty before selling them.
"Okay, although the bergamot snails on the island are not as good as those in the cave, they are much fatter than those in other places. It's a good time to rush there." "Do you know which boat is available for rent?"
"My cousin's family, and A-chan's family. A-can's family's boat rental costs two yuan per trip, and they also charge 10% of the catch. My cousin's family doesn't rent the boat, and costs six yuan per trip. Both families buy their own diesel."
"Two yuan a trip seems cheap, but if we get good stuff, it won't be worth the money if we get a cent." Li Changle stopped and said to him, "Let's rent it from your cousin's house. You go to the dock to rent a boat. You have the money." Do you want to buy diesel?”
"Yes!" Chen Yongwei happily put down the backpack and put it on his back. "One liter of diesel is more than seventy cents. It's only half an hour by sea from the pier to the island. If you buy a pot of oil and make a round trip, you still have some left. "
"Then you buy a pot and you'll need it when our ship comes back."
"Hmm!" Chen Yongwei thought about it and said, "Brother, the bucket is full of tide-watching animals. There are more than fifty of them. If you go there every other day, you will get more." "Then I will go there every other day and I will harvest more." I'll go to the dock to find you after I send the octopus home." Li Changle picked up the bucket and left.
"Brother," Chen Yongwei stopped him and warned him, "remember to bring a big kettle, some dry food, a chisel and a hammer." "Got it!" Li Changle waved his hand and walked up the mountain.
Thinking that the ship will be back in a few days, I need to buy a stove, stir-fry steel, a piece of steel, ginger, garlic, spicy oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, so that I can save the money like before when I went to sea and steam every day. Boiled seafood, boiled seafood, I feel like vomiting when I see it boiled and steamed...
Thinking of this, he recalled the scene when he followed a big ship out to sea for the first time. The waves on the desert sea were higher than the mountains. Several waves hit him. When he lay on the side of the ship and even vomited out jaundice, he only thought about making money. Treat Anan.
Later, I got used to vomiting, and I no longer felt dizzy even when I stood on the deck on a windy day. From the lowest level sailor to the first mate, I earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, but I still couldn't keep Anan...
I was thinking wildly all the way and unknowingly arrived at the bottom of the mountain. Zhou Ruonan was cleaning the net bag and the rubber bucket. "Nan, take one of the rubber buckets back." Li Changle walked to the well and said.
"You're back!" Zhou Ruonan raised his head and tucked the scattered hair behind his ears, then stepped forward to take the bucket he was carrying. "My sister-in-law and I spent a long time picking out three hundred jars. Zhang said, if you want more, go in two days and he will leave it for us."
"Okay." Li Changle picked up the rubber bucket, "Hurry back and get me some rice balls. I asked Awei to rent a boat. We are going to the island to go fishing and dig Buddha's hand snails." "Oh, I'll go right away. ." Zhou Ruonan hurried home, washed his hands and got busy.
Li Changle poured Wangchao and octopus into the rubber bucket and found several black seals. "Nan, you can pick out the black seals later and send some to my mother-in-law and my second sister-in-law."
"My mother-in-law said she would eat with us to save both families from burning a fire." Zhou Ruonan came out of the kitchen, "I can only wrap two rice balls with the leftover food. I will put some small cakes and candies on them for you, so you can cushion your stomach when you are hungry. .”
"It's up to you! I want all the Octopus and Wangchao Restaurant this time. After you pack up, go and take a nap instead of weaving a net." "I'm fine!" Zhou Ruonan responded.
Li Changle went to get a chisel, a hammer, a net bag, a sack, a large and small net, an elbow pliers, and a small shovel and put them into a backpack. He picked up a kettle filled with water and carried it on his back, ready to go out.
Zhou Ruonan handed him the rice basket filled with rice balls and small candies, "I put two melons in it. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You and Awei didn't sleep last night and were rushing to the island again. , can your body bear it?"
Li Changle took the rice basket and said, "It's okay. Just come back and have a good sleep." "Be careful. If you find the weather is not right, come back quickly."
"Don't worry," Li Changle squeezed her hand, "I'm very careful when you're at home!" Zhou Ruonan slapped him angrily, "Every day I'm not in good shape!"
"I obviously like her, but I still don't admit it." Li Changle stepped forward, kissed her, and strode towards the alley.
Going to the pier, he took a detour from Yantou Mountain. He walked straight out of the village from Nantou towards the pier. From a distance, he saw Chen Yongwei and Chen Dong talking there. "A Dong, my brother didn't say that your house is expensive. justice."
Chen Yongwei thought to himself, "The main reason is that their price is much higher than yours, and my brother has no grudge against Qian Qian, so of course I will sell it at the higher price!"
Chen Dong thought of what Li Changle had found when he first went shopping in the sea. The catches he brought back from the sea were all fresh seafood, and the rich would only like this. Shipping is a very mysterious thing, and you have good luck. , no matter what kind of rare and good goods are available, you can encounter them. If you are not lucky, you will not be able to see the good goods passing by in front of you.
"What's going on? I thought you weren't satisfied with the price I gave you, so Ah Le didn't want to send the catch to my house to sell." Ah Wei scratched his head in embarrassment, looked up and saw Li Chang Le, pointing with relief. Looking at him, "My brother is here, tell him."
"Awei, you are so partial. We are still cousins. Every time we see me, we call me A Dong, A Dong. I have never seen you call me A Dong brother." Why didn't you say that before? We haven't met each other yet. My brother and I were able to catch good fish together, so he became polite to me.
"You are different from my brother." Chen Yongwei said and walked towards Li Changle, "Brother, Adong asked you about crabs. I have rented the boat and filled up the diesel." Li Changle handed the basket to you. He asked him, "Go and start it, I'll be right back."
Chen Yongwei nodded and walked towards the ship.
"Ah Le, we are going to sea!" Chen Dong smiled and stepped forward to hand him a cigarette, and helped him light it diligently. "Ah Wei is right to follow you. I heard that you picked up your fishing boat. When he came down, you gave him 20% of the shares."
Li Changle corrected: "It wasn't given to him, it was because he was not afraid that I would drag him down and bought two shares from me."
"Why would your luck drag you down? If you had known I would have bought in too!" Chen Dong changed his subject, "Ale, I would like to ask, are you still cooperating with any seafood shop in town?
Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart today, as long as the goods are good, I can give you the price they can give you..."
Li Changle felt that Chen Ji would know about his cooperation with the restaurant sooner or later, so he might as well tell the truth, "A Dong, I am not cooperating with the seafood restaurant, but the Phoenix Restaurant. If there are good products in the future, I can only focus on that place first." .”
"So that's what happened!" Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't traveling with him, "I didn't expect you to contact Phoenix Restaurant so quickly."
"Don't worry." Li Changle patted him on the shoulder, "We are from the same village, and Awei has a relationship with you. If I get a big product in the future, as long as the agency fee charged by your family is reasonable, I will definitely ask your family to help contact you first. Home."
Chen Dongxu nodded at him a few times and said, "Brother Ale, you are so good that you won't suffer any losses! Don't worry, as long as you find a big deal, I will definitely help you find a more generous buyer."
Seeing that he had even called his brother, Li Changle said with a smile: "I'm not good at calculating. Look at my house. Every time it rains, it rains heavily outside and it rains lightly inside. I don't have any skills, so I just do the shopping. It’s okay to earn some hard-earned money!”
"Look at what you said, who in the village doesn't want to be like you, rice and fish today, sea urchins tomorrow, crabs the day after tomorrow, all the good luck falls on you, and you still have to pay for the hard work." "Why isn't it hard? I didn't sleep until now last night. More than an hour!"
"You are so happy and bitter." Chen Dong said, glancing at Wang Ji, and whispered, "The neighbor was very proud two days ago. Today I know you got a lot of crabs, and your expression is ugly. You Be careful."
"I've got it, thank you very much!" Li Changle saw Chen Yongwei waving, "I'll leave first, you can take your time." "Okay, look for more good stuff!"
"I'd like to lend you some good advice!" Li Changle waved his hand, glanced at Wang Ji, then strode over and jumped on the boat.
The diesel motor was making a clicking sound, and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore. Li Changle sat on a small wooden bench, leaning against the side of the boat and watching the ripples of the fishing boat breaking through the waves, and soon fell into a coma. Want to sleep.
"Awei, I'm going to take a nap, and you can call me when you get to the island."
"Sleep with you." Chen Yongwei drove the fishing boat towards the island. The island is to the west of Zhushan, about ten minutes' sea journey, but it arrived in the blink of an eye. Chen Yongwei controlled the fishing boat slowly to the shore and turned off the engine. Later, he discovered that Li Changle was already snoring, so he stepped forward and shook him a few times, "Brother, we're here."
Li Changle opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw a mountain like a steamed bun not far from the south of the island, he remembered that when he was fifteen or sixteen, he went to this island for the first time when he went to sea with his elder brother.
The island is concave in shape, as if someone built it with rocks. He also named the island Mantou Island. This desert island is called Groove Island. The lowest part of the island is high on both sides and low in the middle. After the tide recedes, you can see that the rocks on both sides are covered with bergamot snails.
Chen Yongwei jumped ashore and tied the cable, "Brother, come here when the tide is high, and the small island that looks like a steamed bun will emerge from the water. Then there will be a gravel road between the two islands, and you can walk from here That little island."
Li Changle followed him over the rocks and towards the top of the mountain, "I have been here before, and I picked up a bucket of seabird eggs here with my elder brother."
"I picked it up last time I came here. It was in the bushes in front of me." Chen Yongwei said, picking up a stone and throwing it down the mountain. Then he saw several big birds with long red legs flying up from the bushes. .
Li Changle remembered seeing such a seabird with long red legs at the beach, but it seems that it was rarely seen in later generations.
The two climbed over the rocks to the top of the mountain, and then climbed down to the place where Buddha's hand snails were collected. It took about ten minutes to get from the top of the mountain to the recessed area. They were all steep cliffs. Li Changle followed Chen Yongwei and stopped and stopped. When my legs were shaking from exhaustion, I finally reached the place where the Buddha's hand snails grew.
When I went down to the low recess, I saw that every stone and in the cracks of the rocks were densely covered with Buddha's hand snails. On the cliffs near the water, Buddha's hand snails were everywhere. Oysters grew on the rocks, growing together. There are sea rainbows, small conches, stone crabs, and many small fish in the shallow puddles at your feet.
"Brother, look at this area. Move quickly. Before the tide rises here, you can carve out a few sacks."
As he spoke, Chen Yongwei picked up the chisel and started to chisel against the stone wall. After chiseling out a cluster, he said to him, "Look, if you don't compare these bergamot snails to those in the cave, can they be considered top-quality products?"
"It's really good. Even if you can't sell it for two yuan, you can pick out the best ones and send them to the restaurant. You can sell them for one piece per catty." Li Changle stepped on a rock, picked up a special chisel, and began to chisel.
This kind of chisel is narrower than the one used by craftsmen, which ensures that after the chisel is inserted into the stone crevice, the bergamot snail can be completely carved out of the stone crevice.
"Brother, look for the puddles and reef caves below later, and you can still find fish and blue crabs." Chen Yongwei said and shouted to the reef cave, "Look, I was right!"
Li Changle turned around and looked, and saw a small blue crab quickly crawling towards the crack of the reef. "Hurry up and dig it, the tide will rise soon." "Oh!" Chen Yongwei no longer paid attention to the reef cave below. He concentrated on chiseling.
Li Changle dug for a while, and the large piece of goods in front of him disappeared. He lowered his head and found that half of the bucket was already filled. He picked up the bucket and walked forward a few steps, threw away his arms and continued working. It seemed that it didn't take long, and the bucket became heavier and heavier. , I feel like it’s not too easy to make a fortune these days.
He took out the sack and poured it into a bucket. He carried the bucket and continued to dig, leaving the small ones for seeding and cutting out all the big ones.
For those big ones that grow in stone crevices that are smaller than a chisel, curved nose pliers come in handy. Clamp the largest bergamot snail and pull it out hard. After pulling out a few in a row, it will be much easier to pull out the others. .
Li Changle feels that pulling out bergamot conchs relieves more stress than chiseling. When he is full of energy, he can pull out the snails all day long.
At this time, he saw a large snail growing next to the puddle, and there were oysters and sea rainbows growing together. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to visit them this time. He will bring Anan and his sister-in-law with him next time. , get some more and dry them in the sun. The scientific name of hemlock is mussels, and some people also call it mussels. After drying, they are stewed with radish or winter melon, which is quite delicious.
