Chapter 84 Seafood from Hell
The four happily boarded the boat again, full of energy, as expected, money is the best way to motivate.
"Dongzi, show me the receipt." Ah Guang rubbed his hands with a smile, "How much can each of us divide the 478 yuan?"
"I don't know, there must be more than 100. Go back and let my wife do the math."
Xiaoxiao laughed and said: "The few of them didn't come, I guess they will regret it again."
"It's a good time that we didn't come. Why are there so many people? Let's divide it up. If there are fewer people, we will divide more."
"that is."
Ye Yaodong said while pushing the scull: "When you go back, you just use the money to build a boat together."
Ah Guang smiled and folded the receipt and put it back in Ye Yaodong's pocket, and said, "Okay, seeing that you made a lot of money just by riding a small boat for the first time when you came out, I am so envious, anyway, I lie in bed all day long." There is nothing wrong at home, the three of us will try to build a boat together."
Ah Zheng nodded happily as if he had seen his mother praise him for his success.
Xiao Xiao has no objection, as long as there is something to do.
The boat sailed slowly 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 go to the sea, but they found a pile of dry branches, and planned to bake a few turtle eggs to eat, so as to cushion their stomachs.
Ye Yaodong went to dig a pile of mud, intending to wrap the turtle eggs in the mud and throw them into the fire to roast.
This can also be regarded as their childhood memories. When they were young, they often stole eggs from home and baked them outside, not to mention how fragrant they were.
"I want to eat a few and wrap myself!"
"Oh, I haven't eaten like this in a few years."
"Just today let you recall memories!"
"I don't know if tortoise eggs are better than eggs when baked?"
"Is it a turtle egg, please wrap it in mud first, and you'll know if it's baked."
After one person wrapped four or five turtle eggs and threw them into the fire, they fiddled with the fire with branches and turned the turtle eggs. Fortunately, they all smoked and carried matchboxes with them.
Sitting on the beach on the ground, blowing the salty sea breeze, it would be better if the sun is not so big!
The four of them sat on the beach, chatting and waiting for the sea turtle eggs to be cooked, looking a little cozy.
The fire in the fire was getting hotter and hotter. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the mud was completely dry and the turtle eggs were almost cooked.
They poked out all the turtle eggs, and went to the beach to fetch a bucket of sea water to put out the fire.
"It smells delicious. I haven't eaten turtle eggs yet."
"Strengthen yang and invigorate kidney, eat more!"
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "You're about to become the bridegroom's official, so you need to eat more, I'm not in vain!"
…
Listening to their chatter, Ye Yaodong pried off all the mud from the turtle's egg, weighed it with both hands because he was afraid of getting hot, peeled off the eggshell bit by bit and sucked it.
Haven't eaten baked eggs like this in many, many years.
"Hmm...why won't it solidify? It's not cooked yet?" Xiaoxiao looked at the milky egg white in surprise, and quickly took a sip, not to waste it.
"No way, it's been baked for so long, and the soil is dried out, so it's not cooked yet?"
Ah Zheng hurriedly peeled off the eggshell on his hands in disbelief, and the liquid flowed sideways, so he hurriedly sucked it up, but unexpectedly it did not solidify.
Ah Guang looked at the turtle eggs in his hand, and then at the drenched fire on the ground, "Then the fire was extinguished just now, and it will be troublesome to start a fire again. Just drink it, and you can eat half-cooked ones."
Ye Yaodong just took a sip of the egg white of the turtle egg, and looked at the three bumpkins with contempt, "The turtle egg will not solidify in the first place, it will be in a liquid state after cooking, only the yolk inside will solidify, let me show you. "
He handed them the turtle egg with a big mouthful of egg white in his hands, and they believed it.
"Grass, the egg yolk is really coagulated, but the egg white is not coagulated. We thought it was not cooked."
"Increased knowledge!"
"How do you know, Dongzi?"
"It's not because I have more knowledge than you!"
"Cut~" After everyone booed in disdain, they ate big mouthfuls. It was noon and everyone was hungry.
While eating, Ye Yaodong said, "I heard that tortoise eggs belong to one of the eight delicacies among the delicacies of mountains and seas."
"Isn't it? That's it?"
"Then our turtle eggs are not rarer than turtle eggs?"
"A class, right?"
"Can the ones in the sea be the same as the ones on the ground?"
A debate unfolds again...
Ye Yaodong ate five turtle eggs in a row, patted his **** 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 gobbled it up and stuffed it in one gulp, carrying buckets and tools to keep up.
"Don't follow me, spread out and find your own."
"Follow you to pick up something."
"Follow me to eat farts? It's mine too, you pick up wool?"
"That's right, then show us the way!"
"Get out~"
嗐~ If Dongzi doesn't cooperate, they can only disperse and find their own.
With no followers, Ye Yaodong felt at ease. He searched specifically in the shallow water area, and the bucket was half full in a short while. They were not worth much, but he was content, and he had just made a big deal, so these were just side dishes for porridge.
Wandering around for a while, and was about to change places, he saw a lot of air bubbles on the beach under his feet. He tried to dig it out with his hands, but he couldn't take out the sand clams. Well, he is well prepared this time.
The bucket was half full, so I just went back to replace it with an empty bucket, and got some salt by the way.
After returning here again, he scraped off a layer of sand on the surface of the beach, and the exposed air bubble holes became more obvious. He opened up half a can of salt, sprinkled a little bit in each hole, and sprinkled it.
After a while, the razor clams in the bubble holes rushed out, standing straight one by one.
Ye Yaodong pulled out one by one happily, and grabbed his hands full, "This method is still more efficient!"
Such a large area is full of the same air bubbles. He used the same method to pull out all the small piece of razor clams.
He shook the bucket, planning to change places to see if there were any valuables.
But I didn't expect to see a snake wriggling in the water as soon as I walked to the edge of the big reef!
His pupils constricted, he swallowed uncontrollably, quickly took a few steps back, and shouted in a pinched voice, "Ah Guang, Ah Guang, come on!"
"What's the matter? Did you find something good again?"
"Come on, come on, I can't do this stuff, you are a good snake catcher."
"Look at me, let's have an extra meal in the evening!"
"This one is more than one meter long!"
"Be careful, this sea snake is very poisonous."
"It's okay, why use the tongs, I don't need to use my hands directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tongs in his hand directly clamped the head of the sea snake, and its body twisted and struggled instantly.
"Get a sack and pack it."
"Looking really scary, just smash the snake's head to death. Everyone doesn't have extra sacks, so there's no need to waste it for this snake."
"It's fine, anyway, take it back and stew it."
After killing the sea snake, Ah Guang simply dealt with it, then put it on the boat, went to the small island and picked a plantain leaf to cover it.
"There are a lot of banana trees growing on this small island."
"Is there any plantain?" Ye Yaodong looked up, 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 familiar enough, forget it."
"Come back next month."
Ah Guang said nonchalantly: "It's just plantains. There are a lot of them in my back mountain. Next month, let's go to the mountain to pick whatever we want."
You can pick them next month. It’s just right to pick some and bring them home. There are many children in the family, so there is no one who is not greedy. His wife likes to eat plantains.
Ye Yaodong still had lingering fears about the sea snake, so he simply changed his position. Unexpectedly, there was a little stagnant water under a rock, and there was actually a huge blue crab hidden!
"Fuck, this is at least three catties!"
He was very pleasantly surprised. This is the blue crab king, isn’t there such a big wild blue crab in this era?
"What three catties, what big goods have you found?"
Ye Yaodong grabbed the shell on its back with both hands, and held it up for everyone to see, "Scylla, big blue crab, I've never seen such a big blue crab, its shell is bigger than my face, it's okay That's right, the blue crab king."
"Damn it..."
Immediately, the three of them cursed like this, they have never seen such a big blue crab!
Ye Yaodong happily put the big blue crab back into the bucket, but he didn't expect that its big pincers would directly clamp the edge of the bucket, and he couldn't put it in anyway.
Afraid of breaking its big pincers, he had to carefully remove it and put it into the bucket, but he felt that the bucket was a bit small, and the blue crab could only stand tilted in the bucket, moving its legs, trying to climb up. come out.
He touched the sack in his pocket, it is better to put it in the sack first, after a while it is not enough to fill the sack and then just free it.
It turned out that he hadn't found any good goods before, because they were waiting for him here.
Following this big blue crab, Ye Yaodong found three more orchid crabs in a row, each of which weighed more than half a catty. He was very happy, this was much better than the stone crab.
The shallow water area on the reef side has the most kinds of crabs and Shi Jiugong. After loading the goods one after another, he simply carried two buckets in his hand, one containing Shi Jiugong and groceries. A bucket of various crabs!
He kept his head down all the time, and his neck was very sore. Occasionally, he needed to raise his head and twist it, but when he looked up, he saw clusters of sea chicken feet in the crevices of the steep **** above.
Huh? There are also sea chicken feet here?
He was surprised, and quickly put down the bucket in his hand, not planning to waste any more time on the beach, he took out the sack, intending to collect the sea chicken feet first.
The scientific name of sea chicken feet is gooseneck barnacles, but it has the reputation of "seafood from hell". It has become popular in European countries in later generations, and it is found in many places, but the reefs near their docks have never been seen.
It grows on reefs in the intertidal high-tide zone that is beaten by waves all the year round, and under such a living environment, it also tastes sweet and has high trace elements.
They have only seen bergamot/pen holders in this sea area. The two are very similar in length, but they are not the same thing. It is really easy to confuse them when they see them for the first time, but if you look closely, you will find that the gooseneck barnacle has a long and thin The stem is like a swan's neck, so it is called a gooseneck barnacle.
The bergamot/pen holder has a stem, but it is very short and the color is green. Therefore, if you observe carefully, the bergamot and gooseneck barnacles are still easy to distinguish.
It's rare to see it here, and it must not be missed.
Growing in the crevices of the reef is not very easy to pick, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to pick them out.
After digging this small area, Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to dig other ones, so he started to look for this sea chicken foot, which is worth 200 euros per catty, or about 1,500 yuan when converted into RMB.
Higher quality sea chicken feet can be sold for 4000-5000.
Now... Hehe...
Look around first, if it’s worthless in this day and age, it’s not bad to keep it for yourself, and let him try what is seafood from hell?
Seeing clusters of bergamot on the rock, he also differentiated them, and laymen thought they were the same.
In order not to get confused, he planned to separate the outfits later, otherwise it would take a long time to pick and choose.
If there are not many sea chicken feet, they can be poured into the bucket of sea turtle eggs and packed together.
But after searching for a while on the surrounding reefs, I only picked up about five or six catties. Everyone else was curious about what he was looking for, and glanced at his sack.
Ah Guang asked: "Are you looking for bergamot? Isn't there a whole lot here?"
"Who told you that this is bergamot, go, go, dig yours."
"What is the bergamot in your sack?"
"Sea chicken feet, have you heard of it?"
"What's the mess?"
"I told you that you don't understand."
"Cut~ I dug almost a sack!" Ah Guang shook his sack, a little proud, it's rare that he harvested more than Dongzi today.
"Good job, I have 5 sacks, fill them for me when you are full!"
Ah Guang stared, "Damn it, I'm going to dig it for you."
"It's not just you, the three of you have your sacks full, and you have to dig them for me! You're going to rely on me to go back!"
Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng also turned around and glared at Ye Yaodong, so this was their idea!
No wonder I was not in a hurry, and kept wandering there!
"Too much of you, we only brought 2 sacks each, but you are still wandering around leisurely with 5 sacks, you are sure to catch us as young men!"
Annoying!
Ye Yaodong laughed meanly, "Why, I want you to be strong men? I just ask you if you want to do it!"
"Fuck! I'll **** you to death!"
He slowly took out the receipt of the previous sale from his pocket, and blew, "More than 400~"
Xiao Xiao immediately had a smile on his face, "Oh, it's only five sacks, and there are four of us. We all help each other, and it's filled in two or three strokes. It's not difficult."
Ah Zheng also patted his chest and assured, "It's only 5 sacks, and they must be full before the high tide."
Ah Guang glanced at the receipt in his hand resentfully, "Oh~ I have to bow my head under the eaves~"
"Haha, it's good to know, I have to use my trump card!"
Ye Yaodong triumphantly collected the receipt, and hurriedly dug, and if he delayed it, he would not be able to fill it when the tide rose.
