They quickly separated the jellyfish by hand and divided them into jellyfish blood, jellyfish brain, jellyfish head, jellyfish skin, etc. Some baskets and basins nearby were filled with various parts of jellyfish.
The villagers who were watching the fun were all watching with great interest. It was their first time to see how a jellyfish is divided.
"Is it good if the jellyfish is divided like this? Can it be eaten by boiling it?"
"I don't know. Ask Dongzi. He taught us how to kill." They said without raising their heads.
"Yaodong seems to know a lot..."
"Indeed, I used to see him being lazy and careless, but now he knows everything."
After the people around him talked for a while, someone walked up to him and asked.
Ye Yaodong cut it quickly and said casually: "The jellyfish brain can be eaten by boiling it in water, and can be used to make soup. The jellyfish blood needs to be boiled and taken out to dry. As for the jellyfish head and skin, they are poisonous and can be disposed of as soon as possible.
It’s very troublesome, I don’t know how to do it, I have to send it to a special processing factory.”
This should follow the "three alum and two salts" method. Under the action of salt and alum, fresh jellyfish will quickly dehydrate and bring out the toxins.
At the same time, after being soaked in a large amount of salt, the jellyfish will be easier to store and less likely to spoil.
Regarding the treatment of jellyfish, the use of alum and salt is actually very strict. Therefore, if you are not a professional who knows how to deal with jellyfish, it is best not to try it yourself.
Once the treatment is not done properly, not only will the toxins in the jellyfish fail to be removed, but the jellyfish may even become nothing more than a puddle of water in the end.
Ye Yaodong knew about three alum and two salts, but he only had a superficial understanding of how to do it. He didn't know exactly how to do it. He only planned to divide it, pickle it with salt, and then find someone to take over and send it to the factory.
He saw Ah Cai watching with interest and immediately asked him, "Finished? How many pounds?"
"9206 pounds, are you good at cutting? Have you done this in your previous life?"
"Isn't that right? I heard that in my previous life I was an executioner, and I could kill every time." Ye Yaodong gestured at him with a knife, "Hurry up and ask for me. You are still looking here. If you can't sell it, I will drag it out."
My family depends on your family for food."
"After taking a look...is it too late?" Ah Cai muttered, and then helped him run errands and make a few phone calls.
By the time they came back, Ye Yaodong and the others had almost finished handling the matter.
There are pots and baskets of cut jellyfish parts. It looks dirty and messy, and you can't imagine how delicious it will be after it is served.
The villagers nearby were still looking at it with unsatisfied eyes.
"That's it. Is this all done?"
"When will you come to receive the goods?"
"Can I get the money?"
"Why are you so anxious? People can still run away. Haven't they finished cleaning up yet? Wait..."
…
Ye Yaodong also looked at Ah Cai, "Is anyone collecting it?"
If not, he has to find a way on his own.
Just when the division was being done, his mind had already turned away. If Ah Cai couldn't find the person to receive the goods, he would send it by boat to the border between Zhejiang and Fujian. It would only cost him some time and gas money. He might not know.
You can still make money there.
"Well, I made several calls in succession to ask friends to recommend friends. I found out about people who could collect them, but they didn't have time to come to our place to collect them. They said that the offshore waters of Zhejiang and Fujian are now full of jellyfish, and it's the peak of the flood season.
It’s too late to collect them there. My friend is not familiar with jellyfish and doesn’t dare to collect them.”
"If it's from Male Gobi, do you have to send it yourself?"
"That's what he said."
Ye Yaodong frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it familiar? Is it reliable?"
"It's reliable, isn't it all about introductions these days?"
"How about I ask your friend to come with me? I'll calculate the wages and pay him. After all, he's someone he knows."
Ah Cai thought for a while and said, "It's not a problem for me to pass on the message between you. Otherwise, I'll give you the phone number and you can talk among yourself. My friend is reliable. He is from our town."
"Alright."
It would be better to have someone he knows who is reliable to follow him than to do it alone.
Ah Cai opened his tattered notebook and saw a bunch of phone numbers and names scrawled on it. He copied a string of numbers, then tore off the paper and handed it to him.
"Just call this number. Once you get through, ask someone to send a message to Chen Jianian to pick up the phone."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back after I finish selling the goods."
"Go on, go on, no one among us will do it, otherwise it won't be your turn to make this money."
"It just happened to happen. It would be a pity not to catch him. I'll leave first."
While they were talking, Lin Xiuqing and the others had already arranged everything neatly, packed everything up, and loaded it onto the cart.
There were so many jellyfish, and they didn’t know how many times it would take them to carry them on their cart, so they asked everyone to use the cart to deliver them to them. It happened to be delivered directly to the checkout, and most of the baskets were borrowed from the villagers.
Just enough time to return it and take it away.
Earning their money is just a matter of helping out, and the villagers are not unhappy about it.
The jellyfish, which weighs more than 9,000 kilograms, lost some water when it was divided, but it still weighs several thousand kilograms.
The valuable jellyfish blood was placed on their cart. When their cart was pushed in front, a large queue followed behind them. The queue looked quite long and quite spectacular.
Some villagers passing by were not sure what was going on and thought they were transporting something, so they came over to look and ask.
I followed the people who went to get the money to help explain, but everyone couldn't believe that this thing was divided into pieces like this, and there were still people taking it. The naive people immediately questioned it and badmouthed it.
The folks who had made money just laughed and didn't express any opinions. They still wanted to ask Adong who got the money.
Ye Yaodong was indifferent after hearing this. This question was so normal. Who made him the first person in his village to eat crabs?
Anyway, it doesn't matter, it's only about 90 yuan. If it can be sold, it can be flipped several times. If it fails, he can still bear the loss.
After delivering all the jellyfish parts to the yard, Lin Xiuqing also took out the change to settle the bill with the villagers, and also freed up the baskets to return them.
She frowned as she looked at the baskets, buckets and pots that were filled with baskets, buckets and pots in the yard. There was almost no place to stand, and there was only a path left in the middle for a person to walk through.
"There are so many, what are you going to do about it, A Dong?" She frowned a little, "Are you really going to send it yourself? Will it get damaged on the way?"
"It's okay, don't worry. I'll buy some more salt and pickle the jellyfish heads and skins for preservation. You can cook the jellyfish brains and jellyfish blood separately at home."
The old lady quickly said: "I have boiled the jellyfish blood you separated earlier, do you want to take it out to dry?"
"Yes, spread it on a bamboo plaque to dry, dry it in the sun and then put it away."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he hurriedly pushed his bicycle out through the back door. He also wanted to call the person named Chen Jianian.
When he finished the phone call and came back after shopping, Father Ye also heard that he had harvested nearly ten thousand kilograms of jellyfish. Having just returned from the fields, he quickly put down his hoe and hurried over.
As soon as he saw Ye Yaodong, his face darkened immediately, "What are you messing around with? No one will take something back. You take it back and mess with it. The whole family is working with you, and you have to worry about not being able to sell it..."
"Tens of thousands of kilograms, not hundreds or thousands of kilograms. How are you doing this? They are spread all over the yard, and there is no place to step on them. You really sent them to Zhejiang and Fujian, which is a long way away.
How much is the toll? How much can I earn? As for such nonsense? Just let the net go..."
"Don't make any noise, I'll mess with you."
"You think I want to take care of you? I just spent a lot of money, and I didn't even think about working honestly, so I just did this mess... messing around... If I can't sell this, how much money will I lose?"
"How much do you think I paid for these?"
"How do I know?"
Ye Yaodong smiled proudly, "90 yuan is less than 100 yuan."
Father Ye was about to open his mouth to curse, but was suddenly surprised, "Only 90 yuan?"
"My enemy! My eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law haven't been paid their wages yet. I'll need their help later. Counting the wages and salt, it's only a little over 100 yuan."
When he heard that it was only a little over 100 yuan, he had collected so much. Father Ye was no longer so anxious, but he still said harshly, "100 yuan, 100 yuan is money. If no one wants it, it won't fall into their hands. Why do you have to?"
Toss this?"
"You have to work hard if you don't have money. Where will the money come from if you don't work hard? If I have money, I won't do anything, just lie at home. Today happened to happen, and I thought it would be a pity to throw it away. This can also be done
The money for selling is just that no one here takes it, just wait, I will definitely be able to sell it."
Ye Yaodong carried a large bag of coarse salt into the yard, and then he remembered that he didn't have a container at home to pickle so many jellyfish heads and skins.
Although the weight has shrunk after division, the quantity is still quite large.
"Dad, go buy a 20-meter nylon bag for me and come back."
He didn't have many containers to store the pickled jellyfish heads and skins, so he could only lay a layer of nylon bags inside the baskets, and then tie up the nylon bags and seal them after pickling.
If it is sealed and placed in a cool place, it can be stored for several months. His requirements are not high, as long as it can be kept fresh for two days.
"The whole family has to work around with you, and you don't know what to do..." Father Ye said angrily, but turned around to help him buy it.
As an elder, he had to help solve the problems that his son had troubled him with.
Throughout the afternoon, the whole family was mobilized by Ye Yaodong to divide work and cooperate.
He, Father Ye, and two brothers pickled jellyfish heads and skins. They put the jellyfish directly in the salt and rolled it back and forth to coat its surface with salt. Then they put the salted jellyfish on a nylon pad.
Bag basket.
Lin Xiuqing and her two sisters-in-law were cooking jellyfish blood and jellyfish brains in their own stoves. One stove couldn't cook them all, so several stoves could cook them faster.
Although everyone felt that he was messing around, they were paid to do whatever they were asked to do, and they were not the ones to bear the risk anyway.
Lin Xiuqing is the same, but who told him that this is her man? Since he has already done it, she has to help him go all the way to the end. Maybe she can really make money.
The children at home saw the adults busy working there, and they all started to help.
Drying and drying, pickling and pickling are all simple tasks. There is no technical content and everyone is very active.
Ye Yaodong felt very relieved after seeing it.
"You guys should be more diligent. When my third uncle earns money, he will buy you two popsicles when he comes back."
"I also want maltose..."
"no problem!"
