Seeing so many shellfish on the reef, everyone was excited again, and the disappointment they had just felt disappeared without a trace.

Ye Yaodong was also overjoyed, the tide had just receded a little, and when it retreated to the end, the surface of the reef would be exposed more.

"Everybody went their separate ways."

After saying that, he was not in a hurry to dig, but first looked around, until he saw a reef crawling with wild abalone, he leaned down and dug with a screwdriver.

This small wild abalone attached to the reef is different from the one sold in the market, it looks completely different, it is much smaller, only a little larger than a dollar coin, it is oval, and its shell is also very thin.

This is what he likes to eat, you can steam scallion oil with enoki mushrooms, and the fragrance is dead.

With a slight pry with a screwdriver, the whole piece fell off, and he happily used the bucket to pry off the whole piece, and then continued to look around.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was a large piece of bergamot in the crevice of the reef next to him, densely clustered, which was also worth a little money.

Buddha's hand is also called the pen holder, this scientific name is turtle foot, Song "Three Mountains Chronicles" contains, "to the shape of the name, the meat in the col is beautiful, the big one is like a palm." ”

He put on gloves to keep his hands from being scratched by the young shells, and then reached into the crevices and dug them down with a screwdriver.

It wasn't until he dug up the whole piece of Buddha's hand that he shifted his position and continued to search, and when he saw a big snail, he also picked it up by the way.

The most snails on the reef are spicy snails, as well as horseshoe snails, green shrimp snails, sesame snails, and flower snails.

As long as it is a big head, he will not refuse to come.

He digs everything that can be sold for some money, the valuable ones are dug first, and the worthless mussels, sea melon seeds, and cow eyes are not moved first.

He didn't pry the oysters growing in it, and when he had dug up almost all the valuable ones, he would slowly tidy them up.

He looked for it and ran into Ah Guang, glanced at him in the bucket, there was everything, and those who came did not refuse, probably digging what he saw, and the whole bucket was almost full.

"It's all full, why don't you pour it into the bag?"

Ah Guang said innocently: "I only brought a bucket!" ”

Ye Yaodong instantly cried and laughed, "Then you are full now, can't you just sit and watch?" ”

"Load it first, I'm only picking up abalone and big snails now, I was too excited at first, and I put everything in the bucket, but now it's full, I don't have to load it, I have to pick one."

Ah Zheng also raised his head nearby and said, "My bucket is almost full......"

The fat man sat on the reef and sighed, "My bucket is already full, I've been resting for a while, who knew there was so much to dig on the isolated island." ”

Ye Yaodong was also speechless to them, they saw him carrying a sack yesterday, and they didn't prepare it today.

Suddenly he couldn't help but steal the joy in his heart, fortunately he specially brought two sacks today, because when he went ashore yesterday, he glanced carefully, saw a dense patch, thinking that there should be a lot of goods, afraid that one sack would not be enough.

"I see Dongzi, you still have a big bamboo basket in the bucket in the morning?"

"That's right, there are two sacks in the big bamboo basket, and I specially asked my wife to prepare them for me today. I told you yesterday that there must be goods on the island, and you didn't even make much preparations. Now you can sit next to it when your bucket is full, and when the tide goes out, you don't have to rush to the sea! ”

"How could we have thought that we just went ashore with the sea water yesterday and didn't look closely, so we went to the boat to get tools again."

Everyone regretted that they didn't prepare early, and after the bucket was full, they could only sit on the rock and watch Ye Yaodong dig.

Ye Yaodong is also very excited, where there are any goods on the wharf reef, he is short and big, where it is like an isolated island, it is densely packed with good goods, and he is very big.

Like that mussel, there are two varieties of wild ones, one is emerald green, the other is black with a little purple, and the all-black one in the market is farmed.

The emerald green ones are the size of eggs, and the black and purple mussels have a little white heads, which will be a little smaller, but they are quite large.

When the bucket was full, he took it down, set it aside in the clearing, and took out a sack to hold the mussels, which were long in patches when they were grown, and very easy to dig.

After digging the mussels, he dug out the cow's eyes nearby, mixed the clothes together, and picked them out when he got home.

They call it cow eye in the local dialect, and the official doesn't know what it's called, because this kind of thing can't be farmed, and it can't be seen on the market.

It is also a type of shellfish, like a scallop, but the meat is not as big as a scallop, the shell is round, the color of a stone, and it is especially good to cook soup with some ginger and garlic foam!

When digging mussels and cow eyes, he also digs sea melon seeds by the way, picks up snails, digs whatever he sees, and does not refuse to come, using sacks, not buckets, and does not need to be specially picked as at the beginning.

It wasn't until the whole sack was almost full that he dragged it to the beach and shook another sack out of the basket.

"Are you tired, Dongzi, you really prepared two sacks, why are you so diligent, one sack is not enough, do you want to rest for a while?" Xiaoxiao lit a cigarette and watched Ye Yaodong busy with his work.

"If you are not diligent, you can't do it, the family needs a lot of money to build a house, my eldest brother and second brother followed my father to the sea, and the money earned was used to build a house, and I must also work hard, and I can reduce the family's expenses by giving more seafood to the workers as vegetables."

"Otherwise, I'll have to pick up rocks and carry sand, and if I don't do anything, my dad will break my legs."

Ah Zheng chuckled: "Heh~ Your father must just talk about it, can he still know that you can't lift your shoulders and hands?" You've grown so big, and you've been beaten a lot, so what's the matter? ”

"I can't say that, my eldest son is 5 years old, don't I lose face when I am a son? Moreover, building a house is also a big deal, where can you not care, you must help do something. After the family is separated, Lao Tzu still has to support his family. ”

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Makes sense!" ”

Ah Zheng then said positively: "Anyway, we are idle, and we will go to give you a hand tomorrow." ”

"The ...... on this hot day"

"It's okay, we'll just help."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Either I'll go back and ask if the workers have called enough, and if it's not enough, you can come and help." ”

"Enough people, we can also come to help, anyway, we don't need to count the salary, just take care of the food."

"Okay, you must take care of the food, then you can do it, go when you are free, forget it if you are not free."

As he spoke, he had already pried off a small half bag of baby shells, and at this time he didn't have time to open the oysters directly, but dug up the whole baby shells and threw them into the sack, and then slowly opened them when they were brought back to the house.

"Can you help me carry that sack onto the boat first?"

"Okay!"

As soon as they lifted the sack onto the boat, they realized that they had done something stupid!
