Chapter Fifty-Six: Only the Big One Is Picked
Maybe because she drank a little wine, Concubine Li, who rarely drank alcohol before, seemed to have a good quality of lunch break. When she woke up again, she found that Zhuang Haiyang in the opposite room was gone, and she didn't find the other party until she went downstairs.
Seeing Zhuang Haiyang, who was processing oysters, Concubine Li blushed a little and said, "Brother Haiyang, why don't you wake me up?"
"Take a lunch break, naturally sleep until you wake up naturally! However, it seems that giving you some wine will also help you sleep!"
Concubine Li, who was teased, blushed and said, "I rarely drink alcohol!"
"It's okay to have an occasional drink here, as long as you're not drunk. When you're outside, it's best not to drink at all. Sit down!"
"Got it! I'll help you! I'll do it too!"
Concubine Li, who hurriedly sat down and was about to help, soon saw Zhuang Haiyang stretching out his hand to stop and said, "This oyster shell is very hard, and it is easy to scratch your hands." If you want to help, wash the oysters I took out and dry them. ”
"Okay!"
Knowing that Zhuang Haiyang is not lying, prying oysters to extract oyster meat is indeed a technical job. If you are not used to it, it is easy to break the whole oyster, and even the oyster meat taken out at the end will look incomplete.
Considering the limited time, Zhuang Haiyang did not deal with the mussels he picked up, but planned to wait until he returned from town tomorrow to get them. Anyway, mussels are kept in their own tanks, and they won't die for a while.
From the pryed back oysters, Zhuang Haiyang deliberately picked a few oysters with the fattest meat to keep, preparing to make egg fried oysters at night. Such a superb oyster is really rare on the market. Good things, naturally, should be kept for yourself.
With Concubine Li helping to clean and dry, looking at a large number of oysters, they were quickly cleaned by the two, leaving only piles of oyster shells. Finding the bags again, Zhuang Haiyang packed these oyster shells and threw them outside the house to dry.
When it is almost dry, Zhuang Haiyang will break all the oyster shells into powder. In Zhuang Haiyang's view, the flour made from these oyster shells is also a good fertilizer. It is used to grow vegetables or other things, and it also saves money to buy fertilizer.
While Concubine Li was still busy, Zhuang Haiyang found a crab pot and began to load the soaked bait into the crab pot. After finishing these, seeing Concubine Li, who had also been dried, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Concubine, I'm ready to go to sea!"
"Well, here we are!"
helped Zhuang Haiyang carry some things needed to go to sea, and Zhuang Haiyang still carried the crab pot with bait. Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sunset, the two began to look for a place to put down the crab pot on the sea.
Of course, this kind of work must be done by Zhuang Haiyang, and Concubine Li just needs to watch!
After finishing the crab pot and the two began to return home, Concubine Li was also very curious: "Brother Haiyang, can you just leave the crab pot overnight?" I heard from the people in the village that they usually go to the sea to get the crab pot, and they have to pick it up every two or three days!"
"The situation is different in the two places! Besides, in terms of the area of the sea, the area of the sea here is larger, and the number of crabs is also larger. In one night, there was enough time for nearby crabs to run into our crab pots. ”
"Well, you'll remember to call me tomorrow morning!"
"Don't worry!
Chatting, the two rushed back to the old house before the last ray of sunlight disappeared. The generator was activated, and the old house, which was originally a little dark, soon lit up. For dinner, Zhuang Haiyang still cooked it himself.
Looking at a dinner that is more sumptuous than lunch, Concubine Li also knows this way of eating, if she doesn't gain weight, it's really unreasonable!
Unlike young people living in the city, Zhuang Haiyang, who lives alone on Nanshan Island, rests early more often than not. After chatting with Concubine Li until eight or nine o'clock, he asked Concubine Li to wash up and prepare to go back to the room to rest.
Even if she felt that the time was a little early, but she thought that she would have to get up early to go to sea the next day, and Concubine Li didn't say much. Compared with the first night she lived in the old house, Concubine Li slept very soundly and sweetly this night.
Through mental power, he sensed that Concubine Li was sleeping very soundly, and Zhuang Haiyang was also very relieved: "It seems that this girl has slowly adapted to life here." I just don't know if she will stay again after a long time. ”
Changing to other pampered urban girls, Zhuang Haiyang doesn't have to think about it at all, he knows that this kind of girl can't stay. But Concubine Li, who is used to living a hard life and grew up in a fishing village, may be able to adapt to this kind of life.
As Zhuang Haiyang thought, if he finds a girlfriend again, the prerequisite is to be with him day and night. Even if Zhuang Haiyang didn't think about being alone on the island, he would not leave the sea most of the time in the space he would live in the future.
Just like the first day Concubine Li went to the island, when she woke up again, Zhuang Haiyang had already prepared everything. And she asked herself to be vigilant, but she still didn't know when Zhuang Haiyang would get up. This made Concubine Li feel that her vigilance had decreased.
But she didn't know that Zhuang Haiyang, who seemed to be resting with the lights out, actually didn't sleep at all at night. Meditation has become an alternative way of rest for Zhuang Haiyang. You can wake up with just one eye open, and naturally it will not disturb anyone.
As on the first day, the row hook was still put first, but the fishing was replaced by a crab pot. Looking at the crab pots that were constantly being pulled onto the boat, Concubine Li was also surprised: "Wow, there are so many crabs!"
"As I said, if there are crabs in the cage, one night is enough. If you don't have crabs, it's useless to leave them for a long time. I'll pull the crab pot up first, and you'll pick the crabs, how about it?"
"Good!"
When she saw that the crabs were all thrown back to the sea by Zhuang Haiyang, Concubine Li was a little reluctant to say: "Ah! Don't want such a big one! Wouldn't it be a pity? The price of such a big crab is also good." ”
"We have a lot of crabs, and all of them are thrown back into the sea for a longer period of time. I don't know how other people catch crabs, but when I catch crabs, I only choose big ones, not half big ones. ”
Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang had made up his mind, Concubine Li didn't have much to say, wearing rubber gloves, and began to pour the crabs from the crab pot on the boat. Then pick out the big ones and throw them in the tank next to them, and throw the small ones back into the sea.
During the process of cleaning the crab pots, you can also see some moray eels burrowing into the crab pots from time to time. If you are an ordinary girl, you will definitely scream in fright when you see this serpentine creature. But Concubine Li doesn't seem to be afraid at all.
He even said happily: "Brother Haiyang, there is another eel! It's so big, I'm afraid it's more than a pound, right?"
Looking at Concubine Li, who was happy to pick up the moray eel, Zhuang Haiyang, who picked up the crab pot, said with a crying and laughing face: "Be careful, this thing is very fierce." Throw it in a bucket and raise it, and if you like it, I'll burn two for you at night. ”
"No, it's better to send it to the town to sell for money, the price of such a large moray eel must not be cheap, right?"
"It's okay! It's so big, it should be no problem to sell it for two or three hundred yuan a catty. ”
Knowing that Concubine Li may have been poor since she was a child, she is most concerned about the price when she sees these sea fish. When Zhuang Haiyang finished pulling all the crab pots, Concubine Li, who was responsible for picking up alone, still seemed a little too busy.
The reason for this is that crabs can fight, and in order to avoid biting off the crab claws together, they need to be tied up with a rubber band. In this way, as soon as there are many crabs in the crab pot, Concubine Li naturally seems a little too busy.
Fortunately, with Zhuang Haiyang's help, the two began to clean the crab pots together, and the speed increased significantly. In addition to the crabs in the tank, there are also a lot of other seafood that are caught, such as moray eel, squid, and skin shrimp.
Before, she only cared about picking and tying, and when she finished cleaning up all the crab pots, looking at the crabs piled up in most of the water tanks, Concubine Li also said excitedly: "Wow, Brother Haiyang, you are really amazing! Next time you will catch so many crabs in the crab pot!"
"Now I believe that when I go back to my hometown to fish, my income is higher than before, right?"
Taking the opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang also emphasized to Concubine Li that thousands or tens of thousands of dollars are really nothing to him. In the final analysis, it is only the income from going to sea to fish once. In this way, this girl who also saves money thinks about saving money for herself every day!
