Chapter 69: Catching the Sea (3)
Zichun said that the tidal flat is shallow and muddy, but according to her, there are many crabs here. Crabs with thick flesh are sometimes sold for more than marine fish. If you can catch more, the family's expenses for half a year will be available.
Crab hunting is fully armed. Ling Mei put on rubber gloves and carried a long iron tong in her hand, and walked carefully in the tidal flats, for fear that the water would shake and flee the prey.
Ziming told her: "Don't do it if you find it." Tell me to catch crabs. The crabs in the sea are fierce and can cut off people's fingers. ”
Ling Mei was afraid of pain, so she couldn't help but shrink her hand.
But she wanted to help them, thinking that in a place like the tidal flat, sharks can't swim around, right? So he secretly put some spiritual springs in the water. Then he put a few stones here to mark it, and after half an hour, he took the two sisters back to harvest.
The Zichun sisters were stunned. I can't believe my eyes: in the small waters, they are crowded one after another, and there is no way to start, all are pike crabs, flower crabs, and blue crabs spitting bubbles and waving iron tongs.
Zixuan shouted: "Brother, come quickly, come quickly." Sister Mei has found the crab nest! ”
Ziming rushed over when he heard the voice, and he was also dumbfounded: It's too much, right? How did Mei poke the sea cucumber nest and still find the crab nest?
"What are you doing?" Ling Mei pointed to the group of crabs, "Catch it." Pick the big ones, and keep the small ones for a long time. ”
Ziming laughed happily: "What kind of sea is this?" It's better than a net at sea. ”
The three of them clamped up and fell, Ziming was fast, tied all the crabs tightly, filled all the small buckets, and took off his coat and pocketed a dozen or so, and then stopped.
When he returned, Jin Zhu also came in this direction. Ziming stepped forward and said to her in a few steps: "Over there, there are a lot of crabs, go now, you can catch a lot." ”
Jin Zhu's eyes were bright, he pursed his lips and smiled at Ziming, and ran quickly to the place he said.
Zixuan and Zichun glanced at each other, and couldn't help but pull their lips: Luo Ziming, this stupid brother, is planted in Jinzhu's hands.
Ling Mei also shook her head and said to Ziming: "Second cousin." Fresh sea cucumber is not easy to store, and it is easy to melt. I want to sell the sea cucumber first. Do you know a reliable Principal? ”
Ziming was surprised and asked, "Don't you discuss with your aunt?" Then he thought that this cousin could make his own decisions, and immediately said, "Yes, yes." I'll take you. ”
Ling Mei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Ziming." ”
Ziming led them to a large row of bungalows by the dock. The smell of seafood on her face was so strong that Ling Mei had to take her breath and slowly get used to it.
Ziming beckoned all the way: "Is Uncle Liu here?" ”
"Lao Liu is entertaining guests."
"Brother Liu, Ziming is looking for you."
After a while, the Ziming brothers and sisters were taken to a seafood shop.
Liu Yang's seafood shop is obviously different from others. The billboard outside him reads four words: sea cucumber and abalone.
It seems that this Uncle Liu only runs the business of ginseng abalone.
At this time, a young man in his twenties stood in his shop, wearing a shaved shirt and trousers. Ling Mei's eyes swept over the belt with the Pierre Cardin logo around his waist, and she thought to herself, this is really a big customer.
At this time, people who can wear foreign big brands are either rich or expensive.
Brother Liu greeted them: "It's Ziming, you can wait a while." ”
It was the guest, whose gaze swept over Ling Mei and quickly turned back to stay for a long time, and said with a smile: "My business is not in a hurry, you take care of them first." ”
Liu Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Duan is so polite. ”
He saw that the small buckets of Ziming and the others were full of tied sea crabs, and he froze: "You caught them in the sea today?" You're lucky. Did you find anything good? ”
Ling Mei sent her small bucket to him.
Liu Yang and Mr. Duan exclaimed almost at the same time: "Sea cucumber! ”
"What a big sea cucumber!" Liu Yang was shocked: "This is what you found?" Where did you catch it? ”
Ling Mei corrected him: "I found it under the reef." Brother Ziming said that the price on your side is fair, so I want to give you a palm. ”
Liu Yang grinned: "Affirmation of justice, affirmation of justice." ”
God is looking down, Mr. Duan is looking down on the sea cucumbers he received, so didn't he send a batch of the best?
Mr. Duan listened to Ling Mei's good words, and his expression was down-to-earth and generous, not at all like a girl in the countryside, he was curious, and couldn't help but secretly speculate about her identity.
Only then did Liu Yang recognize Ling Mei: "Ziming, this is a relative of your family, right?" I look a little like your aunt when she was young. ”
Ziming said: "Uncle Liu has a good eye. Ling Mei is my aunt's daughter. ”
Liu Yang smiled: "No wonder, no wonder." ”
He weighed the amount of sea cucumber and was even more satisfied: "Boss Duan, come and see." I can guarantee that you won't find any better sea cucumbers than them. He is longer than mine and in good condition. It is estimated to weigh a pound after drying. ”
Mr. Duan estimated the number and smiled: "Thirty sea cucumbers are indeed very good." ”
Liu Yang weighed the weight of the sea cucumber and said to Ling Mei: "Ling Mei, Uncle Liu has received your goods." I will give you the highest market price, 50 yuan a catty, 1500 yuan. Okay? ”
For a girl like Ling Mei, 1,500 yuan is a huge amount of money. But Mr. Duan and Liu Yang didn't see the slightest fluctuation on her face.
"Uncle Liu is the same as my brother said, fair and fair." Ling Mei patted Liu Yang's ass very naturally. Liu Yang happily glanced at Mr. Duan. The price of his receipt is here, Mr. Duan can't think of him as high anymore, right? Besides, this batch of goods, even if he doesn't sell them to the surnamed Duan, there are people rushing to collect them.
The money and goods were both gone, and Ling Mei was about to leave, when Mr. Duan suddenly said, "Your sea crabs are also good." Can you sell it to me? ”
Ziming pulled his mouth away and smiled: "What's wrong with this?" "When he caught the crabs, he had already counted the number, "16 flower crabs, 12 blue crabs, and 32 pike crabs." ”
Mr. Duan glanced at Liu Yang.
Liu Yang said: "Blue crabs are the most expensive. But now is not the time. ”
Mr. Duan immediately said: "I will collect it at the price of the blue crab." ”
Liu Yang hid his surprise and said with a smile: "Ziming, your luck today!" ”
Mr. Duan smiled and said, "I want to touch their luck." "Catching the sea can catch a nest of sea cucumbers, luck against the sky.
Liu Yang was even more surprised in his heart: When did Mr. Duan speak so well? Still holding a group of poor boys? He saw Mr. Duan staring at Ling Mei with a gentle smile, and he knew it in his heart. I don't know whether to make Mei happy or embarrassed.
"Mr. Duan, you can collect it at the price of one piece and five pounds."
Liu Yang weighed the portions and packed them according to the category with one hand and one foot, and praised at the same time: "What a big crab." A lot of them weigh two pounds...... Mr. Duan, look, how about we count 90 pounds? ”
Mr. Duan naturally agreed.
So the Luo family brothers and sisters harvested 135 yuan of crab money. Although it can't be compared with Lingmei's sea cucumber, it is also a lot of income for them.
