Return to the small fishing village of 1982

The four of them happily got on the boat again, full of energy. Sure enough, making money is the best way to motivate them.

"Dongzi, show me the receipt," Aguang smiled and rubbed his hands, "How much can each of us divide the 478 yuan?"

"I don't know. There must be more than 100. Let my wife do the math when I go back."

Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Those who didn't come will probably regret it by slapping their thighs again."

"It's just the right time. Why bother with so many people? Let's just divide it up. If there are fewer people, we should share more."

"that is."

Ye Yaodong rowed and said, "When you get back, you can use this money to jointly build a boat."

Aguang smiled and folded the receipt and put it back into Ye Yaodong's pocket, and said: "Okay, seeing you make a lot of money just after you set up a small boat for the first time, I'm almost jealous. Anyway, I lie down all day." We have nothing to do at home, so the three of us will try to build a boat together."

Ah Zheng seemed to have seen his mother praising his achievements and nodded happily.

Xiaoxiao has no objection, it’s good to have something to do.

The boat slowly sailed towards the isolated island again. After working for so long, it was only noon.

When they got off the boat, they were not in a hurry to catch the sea. Instead, they found a pile of dry branches and planned to roast a few turtle eggs to cushion their stomachs.

Ye Yaodong dug up a pile of mud and planned to wrap the turtle eggs in the mud and throw them into the fire to roast.

This can be regarded as a memory of their childhood. When they were young, they would often steal eggs from home and bake them outside like this. Not to mention how delicious they were.

"Eat a few and wrap them yourself!"

"Oh, I haven't eaten like this in a few years."

"It's just the right day for you to reminisce!"

"I wonder if baked turtle eggs are better than chicken eggs?"

"It's a turtle egg, okay? Wrap it in mud first, and you'll know when it's baked."

After each person wrapped four or five turtle eggs and threw them into the fire, they fiddled with the fire with branches and turned over the turtle eggs. Fortunately, they all smoked and carried matchboxes with them.

Sitting on the beach, blowing the salty sea breeze, it would be better if the sun was not so bright!

The four of them were sitting on the beach, chatting and waiting for the turtle eggs to be roasted, which seemed a bit comfortable.

The fire in the fire grew stronger and stronger. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the mud was completely dry and the turtle eggs were almost cooked.

They dug out all the turtle eggs and went to the beach to get a bucket of seawater to put out the fire.

"It smells pretty good. I haven't eaten turtle eggs yet."

"Strengthens yang and nourishes kidneys, eat more!"

Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes, "You are going to be the groom soon, so you should eat more, I am worthy!"

…

Listening to their chatter, Ye Yaodong pried off all the mud on the outside of the turtle egg. He weighed it with both hands because he was afraid of burning it, and peeled off a little bit of the eggshell and sucked it directly.

I haven’t eaten baked eggs like this in many, many years.

"Hmm...why doesn't it solidify? Is it undercooked?" Xiaoxiao looked at the milky protein in surprise, and quickly took a sip, not to waste it.

"No way, it's been baked for so long, the soil has dried out and yet it's not yet cooked?"

Ah Zheng hurriedly peeled off the eggshells on his hands in disbelief. As a result, the liquid flowed across the egg. He quickly went up and sucked it, but to his surprise, it really didn't solidify.

Aguang looked at the turtle eggs in his hand, and then at the soaked fire on the ground. "Then we just put out the fire. It's troublesome to light another fire. Just drink it. You can eat it even if it's half-cooked."

Ye Yaodong just took a sip of the albumen of the turtle egg and looked at the three bumpkins with disdain, "Turtle eggs will not solidify in the first place. They will be in a liquid state after being cooked. Only the yolk inside will solidify. Let me show you. "

He handed them a turtle egg with a big mouthful of protein in it and took a look at it before they believed it.

"Fuck, the yolk is really solidified, but the white is not solidified, so we thought it was undercooked."

"I have gained more knowledge!"

"How do you know, Dongzi?"

"It's not because I'm more knowledgeable than you!"

"Tch~" After everyone booed disdainfully, they started eating in big mouthfuls. It was already noon and they were all hungry.

While eating, Ye Yaodong said, "I heard that turtle eggs are among the delicacies of mountains and seas, and they are one of the eight delicacies."

"No? That's it?"

"Then our turtle eggs are not rarer than turtle eggs?"

"The same kind of thing, right?"

"Can the ones in the sea be the same as those on the ground?"

A debate started again...

After Ye Yaodong ate five turtle eggs in a row, he patted his butt and got up to work with a bucket, not caring about these three idiots!

"Ah, Dongzi is so fast?"

"Hurry up, sister!"

Seeing that he finished eating so quickly, everyone wolfed down the food and followed with buckets and tools.

"Don't follow me, spread out and find your own."

"I'll pick something up with you."

"You want to eat shit with me? It's mine too. You guys are picking up the yarn?"

"That's right, then you can give us a clear path!"

"Go away~"

If Dongzi doesn't cooperate, they can only spread out and find their own way.

Ye Yaodong was relieved that there were no followers. He searched for them in the shallow water area. In a short time, the bucket was half full. They were not valuable goods, but he was satisfied. He had just made a big deal, so these were just porridge and side dishes.

After wandering around for a while, he was about to change places when he saw a lot of bubble holes on the beach at his feet. He tried to dig it out with his hands, but failed to take out the clams. He thought to himself that it was probably razor clams again. Fortunately, he was well prepared this time.

The bucket was also half full, so I just went back to change it to an empty bucket and get some salt.

After returning here again, he scraped off a layer of sand on the beach surface, and the bubble holes exposed became more obvious. He opened a small half can of salt, sprinkled a little bit in each hole, and sprinkled it.

After a while, the razor clams from the bubble holes came out one after another, standing upright.

Ye Yaodong happily pulled out the roots one by one and took a handful of them, "This method is still more efficient!"

Such a large area was filled with the same bubble holes. He used the same method to remove all the razor clams from this small area. It was so easy and satisfying. It took only ten minutes to remove five or six kilograms.

He shook the bucket and planned to move to another place to see if there was anything valuable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the edge of the big rock, I saw a snake squirming in the water!

His penis tightened and he couldn't help swallowing. He quickly took a few steps back and yelled, "Ah Guang, Ah Guang, come on!"

"What happened? Did you find something good again?"

As soon as Aguang heard his call, he ran over excitedly. Others also ran over curiously, and when they saw it, they said, "It turns out to be a sea snake! You coward, you don't even dare to catch it?" "

"Come on, come on, I can't do this, you are the best at catching snakes."

"It's up to me, let's have extra food tonight!"

"This one is over one meter long!"

"Be careful, this sea snake is very venomous."

"It's okay. What are the fire tongs for? I don't have to use my hands directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire tongs in his hand directly clamped the sea snake's head, and its body twisted and struggled in an instant.

"Get a sack to put it in."

"It looks really scary. Let's just smash the snake's head and kill it. We don't have extra sacks. There is no need to waste money on this snake."

"That's fine. Anyway, take it back and stew it."

After killing the sea snake, Aguang simply dealt with it, then put it on the boat and went to the island to pick a banana leaf to cover it.

"There are many banana trees growing on this island."

"Are there any bananas?" Ye Yaodong raised his head and looked around, but he couldn't see it without walking up.

"Yes, there are quite a lot of them, but they are too tall to pick, and they are not ripe enough. Forget it."

"Come back next month."

Aguang said nonchalantly: "It's just bananas. There are a lot of them in the mountains behind me. Next month we will go to the mountains to pick whatever we want."

It can be picked next month. It will be good to pick a little and bring it back. There are many children in the house, so who is not greedy? His wife really likes to eat plantains.

Ye Yaodong still had feelings for the sea snake, so he simply changed his position. Unexpectedly, he found himself on a reef.

“Damn, this is at least three pounds!”

He was very pleasantly surprised. This was a blue crab, right? Such a big wild blue crab was only available in this era, right?

"What three kilograms? Did you find something big again?"

Ye Yaodong grabbed the shell on its back with both hands and held it up for everyone to see, "Blue crab, big blue crab, I've never seen such a big blue crab before. Its shell is bigger than my face. That's right." A perfect blue crab king."

"Fuck..."

Suddenly the three of them cursed like this. They had never seen such a big blue crab!

Ye Yaodong happily put the blue crab back into the bucket, but unexpectedly its large pliers directly clamped the edge of the bucket and couldn't put it in.

He was afraid of breaking its big pincers, so he had to carefully remove it and put it into the bucket. However, he felt that the bucket was a bit too small. The blue crab could only stand tilted in the bucket, with its legs moving all the time, trying to crawl. come out.

He touched the sack in his pocket and put it into the sack first. He would then free up the sack when it was no longer enough.

It turns out that he hasn't found any good stuff in front of him because it's waiting for him here.

After the big blue crab, Ye Yaodong found three more orchid crabs in succession, each weighing more than half a catty. He was very happy, these were much better than stone crabs.

The shallow water area on the reef side had the most crabs and Shi Jiugong. After loading the goods one after another, he simply carried two buckets in his hands, one bucket filled with Shi Jiugong and groceries. All kinds of crabs in a bucket!

I kept my head down, and my neck was very sore. Occasionally I had to raise my head and twist it, but when I looked up, I saw clusters of sea chicken feet in the gaps on the steep slope above.

Huh? Are there any chicken feet here?

He was surprised, and quickly put down the bucket in his hand. No longer planning to waste time on the beach, he took out the sack and planned to put the piece of sea chicken feet into his bag first.

The scientific name of sea chicken feet is gooseneck barnacle, but it is also known as "seafood from hell". It became popular in European countries in later generations and is found in many places, but I have never seen it on the rocks near their pier.

It grows on the rocks in the high tide area of ​​the intertidal zone that are beaten by waves all year round. This living environment also makes it taste sweet and high in trace elements.

They have only seen Buddha's Hand/Penholder in this area. The two are very similar in length, but they are not the same thing. It is indeed easy to confuse them for the first time, but if you look closely, you will find that the gooseneck barnacle has a long and slender section. The stems look like swan necks, so they are called gooseneck barnacles.

The Buddha's hand/penholder has a stem, but it is very short and the color is green. Therefore, if you observe carefully, it is easy to distinguish between the Buddha's hand snail and the gooseneck barnacle.

It’s rare to see it here, so I definitely can’t miss it.

It's not easy to dig them out when they grow in the crevices of the rocks, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to dig them out.

After digging out this small area, Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to dig anything else. He first looked for the sea chicken feet. This is worth 200 euros per pound, which is about 1,500 yuan when converted into RMB.

Higher quality sea chicken feet can be sold for 4,000-5,000.

Now...hehe...

Let's look for it first. If it's not valuable in this era, it won't hurt to keep it for yourself. What is seafood from hell?

He saw clusters of Buddha's hands on the rocks, and he distinguished them. To a layman, they all thought they were the same.

In order to avoid confusion, he planned to install them separately at once, otherwise it would take a long time just to pick them.

If there are not many sea chicken feet, you can pour them into the bucket with sea turtle eggs and put them together.

But after searching for a long time on the surrounding rocks, he only found about five or six kilograms. Others were curious about what he was looking for and glanced at his sack.

Aguang asked: "Are you looking for the Buddha's hand? Don't they all appear in movies here?"

"Who told you this is a Buddha's hand? Go ahead and dig it out."

"What's that in your sack if it's not a Buddha's hand?"

"Sea chicken feet, have you heard of it?"

"What's this mess?"

"I told you you don't understand."

"Tch~ I've dug almost a sack!" Aguang shook his sack, feeling a little proud. It was rare that he gained more than Dongzi today.

"Do a good job. I have 5 sacks. When you fill them, help me fill them!"

A Guang glared, "Damn it, I'm going to help you dig it out."

"It's not just you, the three of you have to help me dig out your sacks! You still have to rely on me to punt back!"

Xiaoxiao and Azheng also turned around and stared at Ye Yaodong, so that was what they had in mind!

No wonder I'm not in a hurry and just keep hanging around there!

"You've gone too far. Each of us only brought two sacks. It's a good thing you brought five sacks and they were still wandering around leisurely. You were sure you were going to catch us as young men!"

Annoying!

Ye Yaodong smiled miserably, "Why, do you want to be a strong man? I just want to ask you if you can do it!"

"Fuck! I***!"

He slowly took out the receipt from the previous sale from his pocket and blew it, "More than 400 yuan~"

Xiaoxiao immediately had a smile on his face and said, "Oh, it's just 5 sacks. There are four of us, we all helped, and they were filled in a few times. What's the difficulty in this?"

Ah Zheng also patted his chest and assured, "It's just 5 sacks, they will be full before the tide comes in."

Aguang glanced at the receipt in his hand resentfully, "Alas, you have to bow your head when you are under the eaves~"

"Haha, it's good to know, if you have to use my trump card!"

Ye Yaodong put the receipt away proudly and took the time to dig. If he delayed any longer, he would not be able to pretend to be satisfied when the tide came up.
