Chapter 83: Seafood from Hell
The four of them happily got on the boat again, full of energy, and sure enough, having money is the best way to motivate.
"Dongzi, show me the receipt", Ah Guang smiled and rubbed his hands, "How much can we share 478 yuan?" ”
"I don't know, there must be more than 100, go back and let my wife do the math."
Xiao Xiao said with a grin: "A few of them didn't come, and I guess I'll regret slapping my thighs again." ”
"It's just right that you didn't come, why are so many people doing? We just split up, less people and more points. ”
"Yes."
Ye Yaodong said while rubbing his shoulders: "When you go back, you just use this money to build a boat." ”
Ah Guang smiled and folded the receipt back into Ye Yaodong's pocket, and said, "Okay, I will be envious of the fact that you have made a lot of money when you come out for the first time when you hold up a small boat, anyway, I have nothing to do when I lie at home all day, let's build a boat together." ”
Ah Zheng seemed to have seen his mother praise him, and nodded happily.
Xiaoxiao has no opinion, it's good to have something to do.
The boat slowly sailed towards the island again, and after working so long, it was only noon.
When they got off the boat, they were not in a hurry to catch the sea, but found a bunch of dry branches, and planned to roast a few turtle eggs to eat and feed their stomachs.
Ye Yaodong went to dig up a pile of mud, planning to wrap the turtle eggs in the mud and throw them into the fire to roast.
This is also a memory of their childhood, when they were young, they used to steal the eggs from the house and roast them outside like this, not to mention how fragrant they were.
"I'm going to eat a few wraps myself!"
"Well, I haven't eaten like this in a few years."
"It's just time for you to reminisce today!"
"I don't know if turtle eggs are better than eggs when baked?"
"It's a turtle egg, let's wrap it in mud first, and you'll know when it's baked."
After one of them wrapped four or five turtle eggs and threw them into the fire, they took branches and stirred the fire and turned the turtle eggs, but fortunately they all smoked cigarettes and carried matchboxes with them.
Sitting on the beach with the salty sea breeze blowing, if only the sun weren't that big!
The four of them sat on the beach, chatting and waiting for the turtle eggs to be baked, which seemed a little cozy.
The fire in the fire grew stronger and stronger, and after about 15 minutes of waiting, the mud was completely dry, and the turtle eggs were almost cooked.
They pulled out all the turtle eggs and went to the beach to get a bucket of seawater to extinguish the fire.
"It smells good, I haven't eaten turtle eggs yet."
"Aphrodisiac tonifies the kidneys, eat more!"
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "You're about to become a groom's official, you have to eat more, Lao Tzu is not false!" ”
……
Listening to their mouths, Ye Yaodong pried off the mud on the outside of the turtle eggs, and with his two hands, he weighed and weighed the eggshell for fear of being hot, and peeled off the eggshell a little bit and sucked it directly.
I haven't eaten a baked egg like this for many, many years.
"Hmm... How does it not solidify? Not ripe? Xiao Xiao looked at the milky egg whites in surprise, and quickly took a sip, which could not be wasted.
"No, it's been baked for so long, and the soil is all dry, but it's not cooked?"
Ah Zheng hurriedly peeled off the eggshell on his hand in disbelief, but the liquid flowed sideways, and he hurried up to suck it, but he didn't expect it to really not solidify.
Ah Guang looked at the turtle eggs in his hand, and then looked at the soaked fire on the ground, "Then I put out the fire just now, and I'm going to make a fire again, so let's drink it directly, and you can eat it if it's half-cooked." ”
Ye Yaodong just took a sip of the egg whites of the turtle eggs, and looked at the three soil buns with disdain, "The turtle eggs will not solidify in the first place, and they will be in a liquid state after cooking, only the egg yolk inside will solidify, let me show you." ”
He took a big mouthful of egg whites in his hand and gave them a look, and they believed it.
"Grass, it's really egg yolk solidified, the egg white is not coagulated, we thought it wasn't ripe."
"Knowledge!"
"How do you know, Dongzi?"
"It's not because I'm more knowledgeable than you!"
"Cut~" After everyone shushed disdainfully, they ate in a big gulp, and it was noon, and they were all hungry.
While eating, Ye Yaodong said, "I heard that turtle eggs are among the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and they belong to one of the eight treasures." ”
"Isn't it? That's it? ”
"Then our turtle eggs are not rarer than turtle eggs?"
"Something like that, right?"
"Can the sea be the same as the one on the ground?"
A debate unfolded again......
After Ye Yaodong ate five turtle eggs in a row, he patted his ass and got up to work with a bucket, so he didn't care about these three fools!
"Ah, Dongzi so fast?"
"Hurry up your sister!"
When everyone saw that he had finished eating so quickly, they all gulped it in, carrying buckets and tools to follow.
"Don't follow me, spread out and find your own."
"I've got something to pick up with you."
"Follow me and eat fart, right? Yes is also mine, you pick up yarn? ”
"That's right, then you show us the way!"
"Roll~"
Who~ Dongzi didn't cooperate, so they could only scatter and find their own.
There is no follow-up bug, Ye Yaodong is also comfortable, he is looking for it in the shallow water area, and after a while, half a bucket is full, it is not a valuable product, but he is also content, he has just made a big deal, and these are treated as porridge and side dishes.
After walking around, he was about to change places, he saw a lot of bubble holes on the beach under his feet, he tried to dig it out with his hands, but he didn't take out the sand clams, thinking in his heart that it was estimated that it was razor clams again, but fortunately he was well prepared this time.
The barrel was also half full, so I just went back to change it to an empty barrel and took salt by the way.
When he returned to this place again, he scraped off a layer of sand on the surface of the beach, and the bubble holes were more obvious, opened the small half jar of salt, sprinkled a little hole and sprinkled it through.
After a while, the razor clams in the bubble hole scrambled to emerge, one by one straight.
Ye Yaodong pulled them out one by one with joy, and clenched a full hand, "It's still efficient this method!" ”
Such a large piece of bubble holes are the same bubble holes, he used the same method to operate, and pulled out all the razor clams in this small piece, which was not too trouble-free and cool, and it took less than ten minutes to pull out five or six catties before and after.
He shook the bucket, intending to change places to see if there was anything valuable.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I walked to the edge of the big reef, I saw a snake wriggling in the water!
His pupils constricted, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, quickly took a few steps back, and shouted in a pinched voice, "Ah Guang, Ah Guang, come quickly!" ”
"What's the matter? Did you find something good again? ”
As soon as Ah Guang heard his call, he hurriedly ran over excitedly, and the others also ran over curiously, but when they looked, "It turned out to be a sea snake!" You coward, don't you dare to catch this? ”
"Come on, come on, I can't do this thing, you're the one who catches snakes."
"Look at Lao Tzu, let's have dinner in the evening!"
"This one is more than a meter long!"
"Be careful, this sea snake is very venomous."
"It's okay, what are the fire tongs for, I don't have to use my hands directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire tongs in his hand directly clamped the head of the sea snake, and its body instantly twisted and struggled.
"Bring a sack to it."
"It's really crazy, just smash the snake's head and kill it, everyone doesn't have more sacks, there's no need to waste it for this snake."
"It's okay, anyway, take it back and stew."
After killing the sea snake, Ah Guang simply dealt with it, then put it on the boat and went to the island to pick a banana leaf to cover it.
"There are a lot of plantain trees growing on this island."
"Are there any plantains?" Ye Yaodong looked up, but he didn't walk up and couldn't see it.
"Yes, it's a lot, it's just too high, it's not easy to pick, and it's not ripe enough, forget it."
"I'll be back next month."
Ah Guang said nonchalantly: "It's just a plantain, I have a lot of mountains behind me, let's go to the mountains next month to pick them casually." ”
You can pick it next month, pick a little back to Yun Yun, there are many children at home, how can there be no gluttony, his wife likes to eat plantains.
Ye Yaodong was still apprehensive about the sea snake, so he simply changed his position, but he didn't expect that a super large blue crab was hidden in a location where there was a little stagnant water under a reef!
"Damn, this is at least three catties!"
He was very pleasantly surprised, this is the king of blue crabs, such a big wild blue crab, is there in this era?
"What three catties, what kind of big goods did you find?"
Ye Yaodong grabbed the shell on its back with both hands and held it high for everyone to see, "Blue crab, big blue crab, I have never seen such a big blue crab, its shell is bigger than my face, this is a proper blue crab king." ”
"......"
Suddenly, the three of them scolded like this, they had never seen such a big blue crab!
Ye Yaodong happily put the big blue crab back into the bucket, but he didn't think that its big tongs directly clamped the edge of the bucket, and it couldn't be put in.
Afraid that its big pincers would be broken, he had to carefully take it down and put it in the bucket, but he felt that the bucket was a little small, and the blue crab could only stand in the bucket tilted, with a few feet moving all the time, trying to climb out.
He touched the sack in his pocket, and put it in the sack first, and then let the sack out when it was not enough.
It turns out that he has not found any good goods in front of him, because he is waiting for him here.
Following this big blue crab, Ye Yaodong found three orchid crabs in a row, all of them were more than half a catty, and he was happy in his heart, which was much better than stone crabs.
In the shallow water area on this side of the reef, there are the most kinds of crabs and Shi Jiugong, and after loading the goods one after another, he simply carried two buckets in his hand, one bucket of Shi Jiugong and groceries. A bucket of all kinds of crabs!
I have always maintained a posture of bowing my head, and my neck is also very sore, and I occasionally need to raise my head and twist it, but as soon as I look up, I see clusters of pheasant feet in the gap of the steep slope above.
Hey? And the pheasant feet here?
He was surprised, so he quickly put down the bucket in his hand, and was not ready to waste any more time on the beach, and took out the sack, intending to take the sea pheasant feet first.
The scientific name of the sea pheasant's foot is gooseneck barnacle, but it is known as "seafood from hell", and it has swept European countries in later generations, and many places have it, but the reef near their pier has not been seen.
It grows on the reef of the intertidal high tide zone that is beaten by the waves all year round, and under such a living environment, it also makes it fresh and sweet, and the trace elements are high.
They have only seen a bergamot/pen holder in this area, the two look very similar, but not the same thing, it is indeed easy to confuse it when you see it for the first time, but if you look closely, you will find that the gooseneck barnacle has a slender stem, like a swan neck, so it is called a gooseneck barnacle.
The bergamot/pen holder has stems, but it is very short and green in color, so if you look closely, it is easy to distinguish between bergamot and gooseneck barnacles.
It's rare to see here, and you can't let it go.
It's not easy to pick out in the cracks of the reef, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to pick them off.
After this small piece of land was cut, Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to dig up the others, and first looked for this sea pheasant foot, which is worth 200 euros a catty, which is about 1,500 yuan when converted into RMB.
The high-quality sea chicken feet can be sold for 4000-5000.
Now...... Hehe......
Let's look for it first, if it's not worth much in this era, then it won't be a loss to keep it for yourself, and what kind of seafood from hell will he taste?
When he saw clusters of Buddha's hands on the rocks, he also distinguished them, and the layman thought they were the same.
For fear of confusion, he planned to pack it separately for a while, otherwise he would have to pick it for a long time.
If the number of pheasant feet is not large, you can pour it into the bucket where the turtle eggs are placed and put it together.
But after searching for a while on the surrounding reefs, he only picked out about five or six pounds, and the others were curious about what he was looking for, and glanced at his sack.
Ah Guang asked, "Are you looking for Buddha's hand?" Isn't there a film here? ”
"Whoever told you that this is a Buddha's hand, go and go, you dig yours."
"What's not a bergamot in your sack?"
"Pheasant feet, have you heard of them?"
"What kind of mess?"
"I told you you you didn't understand."
"Cut~ Lao Tzu has dug up almost a sack!" Ah Guang shook his sack, a little proud, it was rare that he had gained more than Dongzi today.
"Good job, I have 5 sacks, if you fill them, help me fill them!"
Ah Guang glared, ", Lao Tzu still has to help you dig." ”
"It's not just you, you all have your own sacks full, and you have to dig them for me! You're going to have to rely on me to get back on the boat!" ”
Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng also turned their bodies and glared at Ye Yaodong, it turned out that this idea was hit!
No wonder there's no hurry, it's been hanging out there!
"It's too much of you, we only brought 2 sacks, you are good, you brought 5 and are still wandering there leisurely, you are sure to catch us as strong men!"
Irritating!!
Ye Yaodong smiled cheaply, "What's the matter, just want you to be a strong man?" I'll just ask you if you can do it! ”
"! I'm going to you! ”
He slowly took out the receipt of the previous sale from his pocket and blew it, "More than 400~"
Xiaoxiao's face was full of smiling faces, "Oh, it's just 5 sacks, there are four of us, all of them take the handle, and they will be filled in three or two clicks, what's so difficult about this." ”
Ah Zheng also patted his chest and promised, "It's only 5 sacks, and they must be full before the tide." ”
Ah Guang glanced at the receipt in his hand resentfully, "Alas~ People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads~"
"Haha, it's good to know, I have to sacrifice a killer weapon!"
Ye Yaodong proudly collected the receipt, and also seized the time to dig it, and delayed it any longer, pretending to be dissatisfied when the tide rose.
