Chapter Forty-Nine: Stone Cauliflower

Eating noodles, Zhong Miaoshi has been struggling with this matter.

Now that I've had lunch, I know that there are probably no people left on the beach at this time. But Jiangping Town is really close to the seaside, she is really unwilling, and after thinking about it, she decided to go over and have a look, and she should be familiar with the environment.

Therefore, after the two left the noodle shop, Zhong Miao directly told Shen Yanshao about his plans.

Shen Yanshao has been with Zhong Miao all the time today, and she just heard that she had this idea.

Naturally, he asked why.

Zhong Miao looked at the deep eyes of the person in front of her, and didn't know whether to tell the truth or not for a while. I'm afraid that if I make a casual excuse, he will see through it at a glance, and then I will have to play with her.

At the moment when she thought about desertion, Shen Yanshao was talking as if chatting.

"Hmm, let me think about what you deliberately set aside the two people of the Wang family to go to the beach for."

"Could it be that you want to go to the beach to buy some seafood and go back to surprise the Wang family? Or maybe you just made a windfall, and suddenly remembered that the Wang family hadn't eaten delicious food for a long time, so you wanted to buy some fish and shellfish and the like and go back to open meat? ”

“……”

Zhong Miao heard the ridicule and threat in his words, and remembered that she had just learned a big secret from him in the noodle shop, so she simply decided to tell him in detail regardless of whether it was successful or not.

"Have you ever heard of such a thing as a cauliflower?"

When she was in the market before, she took a look at it, but there was no shadow of it, so she thought that stone cauliflower should not be popular in this era.

Since there is no bazaar, try your luck at the beach, because it grows on a reef in the shallow water, and the chances of finding it by the sea are much greater.

And since it is said that the stone cauliflower, it is natural to explain why I am looking for the purpose of this thing. I'm not afraid that Shen Er will listen to her thoughts, although it is easy to boil out the gypsum thing, but just using this as a selling point, in fact, it can't make a lot of money.

"If you can find the cauliflower successfully, you can make the gypsum. Gypsum itself doesn't have much taste, but if you cut it and chill it, and then pour it with sugar water or honey, it is a great summer dish to relieve the heat. ”

"You also know that I am not related to the Wang family, and I have parents. I've always been afraid of heat, and I don't know how my mother developed the gypsum method, but I ate it for several years when I was a child. When I grew up, I realized that I couldn't buy it outside, so I thought about making it. ”

Shen Yanshao understood.

"Then it was summer, and chilled things were already popular. If, as you said, this plaster tastes good and comes with benefits in its own right, that's interesting. ”

Hearing that Shen Er also said that her method was feasible, Zhong Miao was very happy.

She thought that in the 21st century, gypsum would have been sold in her hometown, and small profits could add up in the end.

And every year there is summer, every year it will be hot, if the iced gypsum is on the market, there will always be people who will eat it.

The question now is whether or not we can find the cauliflower.

After chatting, it is not a problem to go to the beach again. And because the distance is not far, it didn't take long to arrive.

When he got out of the car, the sun was already very big, and Zhong Miao was so sunburned that he couldn't open his eyes.

But when I got off the bus and walked to the place near the dock, I felt that the clothes on my back were about to be scorched.

Sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Zhong Miao knew that she couldn't stay long under the big sun, but now she couldn't care about this, thinking about the baby who would give her money.

They were indeed late, and there was no one on the dock as far as the eye could see. There are only a few stalls left, most of which are fishermen who live nearby, and they are not in a hurry to close the stalls.

Several stalls were scattered, and Zhong Miao ran one by one.

Due to the hot weather, the pier is a place where fish and seafood are sold all year round, and all kinds of shells or discarded marine fish entrails and scales are fermented, and the smell is very strong.

Zhong Miao endured it and carefully checked all the stalls, but still found no trace of the stone cauliflower.

Shen Yanshao pursed her lips and followed behind, seeing that she had a lost look on her face, she knew that this trip was in vain.

"We're late today, almost all the stalls are gone, you can come again tomorrow to determine if there is anything you want."

He unexpectedly comforted him.

But Zhong Miao still couldn't be happy.

The cactus grass has not been found, and the cauliflower is not popular, if she still returns in vain when she comes to the dock tomorrow, then won't her four-fruit soup be able to do it?

Heaven was playing a joke on her.

No, the cauliflower is obviously a thing in the sea, even if it is really not popular, it will not even be a person who picks up the cauliflower!

Shen Yanshao on the side seemed to see that she was anxious, and gently suggested, "Why don't we ask the people around here to see if anyone recognizes this thing." Since you said that it grows in a shallow sea area, there should be something in the sea. If it doesn't work, we will find a reliable fisherman to work with, and let him help us pick some of them. ”

These words reminded Zhong Miao, and hope instantly ignited in her eyes.

Xindao himself was too composed, and he didn't even think of this method.

The two of them immediately went to the nearest stall.

The stall owner was an old fisherman, and when he heard Zhong Miao mention the stone cauliflower, he shook his head, "I've been fishing for most of my life, but I've never heard of this thing." ”

The stall owner said he didn't know, and the two of them prepared to go to the next stall.

But the old fisherman stopped them, "You don't need to ask anyone else, I have been fishing for more than 30 years, and no one here knows better than me what is in this pier and in the sea." If you don't even remember me, let alone anyone else. ”

The old fishermen are so experienced that although they have no impression of the cauliflower, they have not been beaten to death with a stick.

"Why don't you tell me what the cauliflower looks like, or if there are any aliases or something?" You should also know that there are some things in the sea that are called the same thing in one place......"

Zhong Miao was reminded again, and she began to talk about the characteristics of the stone cauliflower.

"It belongs to a type of red algae and has many branches. It generally grows on reefs in shallow waters, and the color is mostly purple-red, brown-red, and yellowish. ”

"By the way, some people call it grass coral, phoenix tail."

“……”

Zhong Miao racked her brains to recall everything about the cauliflower, but the old fisherman signaled to her not to say any more.

"It turned out to be a phoenix tail, you said earlier, it's easy to see when the tide is low, and some children even go to pick it up and play it. We just thought it was seaweed or something, but we didn't want anyone to come looking for it. ”

As he spoke, the old fisherman pointed not far away.

"There was a child squatting in the corner of the place, named Xiaohai. It's a poor one, his father is paralyzed in bed, his mother has run away with someone, and the family is so poor that it clangs. In order to survive, I picked up some of the coral phoenixes you said and sold them ......."
