Chapter 29 The Chinese Horseshoe Crab

Because Tang Tongming's air compressor has not yet been delivered, it is said that it will wait until the afternoon, so many people come to Weihang's house to inflate after they run out. Weihang didn't care, he didn't charge everyone's fees, anyway, he didn't rely on this to eat.

"You're picking up these scallops at the bottom of the sea?" Wei Hang was surprised.

This young man can be regarded as his cousin! He is the son of the fifth uncle, named Wei Hai, who is three years younger than Wei Hang, but he also has children. In the countryside, many people get married before they reach the age of marriage, and the government turns a blind eye.

This guy should have had water in his ears, and he threw the scallops in front of Weihang's house, and he kept beating with his ears sideways. A lot of people do this when they swim and accidentally get water in their ears.

"Yes! Great crabs are not easy to catch. These scallops are all over the sea, so I'll pick up the best ones. Cousin, didn't you say that these are ten dollars a pound? I have calculated, I pick up scallops, and I definitely earn more than others. The kid stopped and said with a hippie smile, not at all like being a father, which made Wei's mother smile bitterly and shake her head.

As soon as he came up from the bottom of the sea, his father saw that it was all scallops, and immediately scolded him indiscriminately. Later, he calculated an account for his father, and his father was relieved.

Wei Hang nodded, seeing that the scallops inside were all luxurious scallops, he had said that this kind of scallops could be purchased for ten yuan, after all, they were sold for about thirty yuan a catty outside.

This kid is also smart, and he picked up more than 100 catties in two hours and dragged them up. According to ten yuan a catty, he also earned more than a thousand. In this way, it seems that it is really faster than others.

"You're not stupid, come here, help weigh it. Wei Hang scolded with a smile.

"One hundred and sixty-three pounds, I'll write it down first, and you can come over in the evening to withdraw the money, my family doesn't have much cash now." Wei Hang said to him. The people in the back all keep accounts, and then let them come back in the evening to withdraw the money.

Wei Hang is going to the town a little later to pick up 100,000 yuan, and by the way, he will get a pound scale back, which is convenient to weigh, and there is no need to have two people to lift it every time.

In the afternoon, many people brought the harvest of sea crabs to the flat land not far from the beach, where Wei Lixin was buying. Wei Hang didn't have anything to do, and he also went over to help.

Suddenly, I saw a boy playing with two horseshoe crabs (hòu), and he was slightly startled and walked over.

He is not unfamiliar with this kind of sea creature, and he often saw it when he was a child, and he also caught it and played with it. Fishermen know that the meat of this seafood is not tasty, so they are usually thrown back into the sea when they are caught.

However, he did know that in recent years, this animal has been listed as a national protected animal. Its medicinal value is very high, and a horseshoe crab outside can be sold for one or two hundred. If the villagers had known about it, they would not have thrown it back into the sea or left it for children to play with.

The horseshoe crab has a peculiar appearance, and its body is divided into 3 parts connected by joints: a broad horseshoe-shaped cephalothorax, a much smaller segmented belly, and a long, pointed tail sword. It looks a lot like a beetle. In fact, it is the oldest crustacean on earth, older than the dinosaurs, and is known as a living fossil!

"In the future, this animal should not be caught, it is now a protected animal, protected by law, and it is illegal to fish at will. Wei Hang said to them. Didn't tell them the price of this animal, it is inevitable that everyone listens, and someone can't help but take the risk.

When the parent heard this, he hurriedly snatched the two horseshoe crabs from the child's hands and prepared to release them in the sea later. Hearing Wei Hang's words, it was illegal to capture, and they were nervous.

"Don't worry, Hangzi! This kind of thing is not delicious, the blood is still blue, and we have caught it before and thrown it back into the sea. One of them spoke.

The reason why the blood of the horseshoe crab is blue is because its blood is rich in copper ions, and these people present know the reason for it. It is this special blood that can accurately and quickly detect whether the internal tissues of the human body are caused by bacterial infection, making it more valuable.

"It's a fun thing, usually two at a time. An old man laughed.

They don't know what to do, and the horseshoe crab has another name, that is, the husband and wife fish. During the breeding season of horseshoe crabs in spring and summer, the males and females are inseparable once they are married, and the fat female horseshoe crab often staggers along with her skinny husband. At this time, when a horseshoe crab is caught, it is a pair, so the horseshoe crab enjoys the reputation of "mandarin ducks under the sea".

In the eyes of fishermen with poor knowledge, the small horseshoe crab on the horseshoe crab is the offspring, that is, the child of the horseshoe crab, so it will carry it on its back. They never thought that it was their husbands on their backs, not their children.

"Aren't you going to get the money, it's too late for people to close!" said Father Wei to his son.

Wei Hang took out his mobile phone and saw that it was almost four o'clock. The credit union closes at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to pass.

When he went to the only rural credit cooperative in the town, Weihang first opened an account and got a bank card of the credit cooperative. There is no way, in addition to the credit cooperative, Fengqi Town is a postal storage. Always withdrawing money from other places across banks, the handling fee is painful.

Weihang is also a big customer, and a manager specializes in helping him handle it. In the countryside, if you want to take 100,000 in one go, you can be regarded as a big customer.

"Sir, do you want to open online banking and mobile banking? The manager saw that Wei Hang was young, so he added one more sentence.

If it is replaced by other middle-aged and elderly people, it is in vain to ask, many people have never even touched the Internet in their lives, and helping them open online banking is purely to find something to do. In addition, some middle-aged and elderly people still don't like to apply for a card, and feel that the card is not safe, so they want to have a passbook.

"Well, by the way, help me open it!" Wei Hang nodded, those who have used online banking know that it is indeed very convenient.

After it was done, I took out 100,000 yuan, and it was almost five o'clock when I left the credit union. Wei Hang went to the old street again, and saw a scale in a grocery store, which was still electronically displayed.

"Young man, this is the latest scale, it's easy to use, no weights. The heaviest can weigh 300 catties, and many people use this now. "The shopkeeper has practiced a pair of golden eyes, and when he looks at the customer's expression, he can see whether a customer has bought **. When Wei Hang came in, he paid attention to it, and was sure that this young man was sincere in his desire to buy it, not just to look at it, so he was very enthusiastic.

Wei Hang fiddled with it, familiar with the operation inside, felt that it was easy to use, and did not drag the mud and water, and asked the price directly: "How much is this?"

"You see, this one costs two hundred and sixty, and the big one next to it costs six hundred. Not only does it have a large weighing range, but it is also highly accurate. "For fear that Weihang thought that it was a fake, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained clearly, after all, the price difference is too big, and it is easy for people to misunderstand.

Before coming, Weihang had checked this kind of electronic scale on the Internet, and the price on the Internet was about 200, plus the postage was almost 240. It's a little more expensive here, but Weihang doesn't care so much, and the boss has to do business to make a little money.

"Okay, then this one!" After paying the money, Weihang carried the electronic scale, which is about twenty pounds, which is not very heavy. Tie it to the back of a motorcycle, then go to the market and buy some meat dishes.
