Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Yaodong got up energetically.

Taking advantage of his wife's cooking breakfast, he first sorted out his things, but found that there was only one sack at home, and it was still the rice that day, and the rice bran was not vacated.

"I'll go back to my hometown and get some sacks."

"Oh, good."

Ye Yaodong originally planned to go back quickly, but when he passed the road in the center of the village, he heard some women talking.

「…… I didn't dare to step on my feet, so I went to empty the urinal early in the morning, and it was all over the ground."

"It's just that I don't dare to go to the toilet today......

"I don't know who was so unlucky yesterday that he fell into the pit, but fortunately he was an adult and could still climb out......

"It's really going to laugh to death, how many years has no one fallen into the pit?"

I knew that today's meeting in the village would be discussed, and big things in the countryside could be spread everywhere.

When he came back from the sack from the old mansion and passed this road again, everyone already knew that Xu Laifu had fallen into the pit last night.

I don't know how I knew, but many people were gloating there, saying that the disaster was not a one-way street, but a good one.

Ye Yaodong was full of smiles, and hurried home with brisk steps, after breakfast, he still had to go to the sea, and this time he had to bring Ye Huimei.

Just now his little sister knew that he was going to Taohai later, so she yelled to follow, and if she didn't let her, she would drag his clothes and not let him go.

Mother Ye also spoke, saying that she was idle at home anyway, and if she wanted to go with her, let her play with her, that is, when climbing on the reef, you should be careful and don't fall.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to take her with him, and asked her to wait for the meal to finish, bring the tools to his side, and then go out to the dock together.

When they went out of the dock, the fat man, Xiaoxiao, and Ah Zheng were already waiting there.

Seeing him with his sister, he was surprised, and he didn't say anything after saying hello, but when they got on the boat, the three of them squeezed each other's eyebrows and winked at each other, and whispered: "Go back at night and tell Ah Guang, Ah Guang should pat his thigh and regret not coming today!"

"Say, I have to tell him in the evening, he missed a great opportunity."

"What are you still muttering there when the boat is gone?" Ye Yaodong looked at the three people on the boat inexplicably, his boat was propped up from the shore, and they were still motionless?

"Nothing, nothing, let's go, let's go."

"Damn, what's on your boat? Are you really planning to live on the island? Pots and pans with you? Do you still have rice with you?"

He had just helped his sister onto the boat, and he hadn't paid attention to what was on their ship, but he only saw it when he turned his head to urge.

The fat man said triumphantly, "I didn't bring rice, I brought sweet potatoes to boil, and I brought a bucket of water, and at noon, we will cook seafood noodles on the island and eat."

"Okay, okay, fatty, eat, drink, Lazar, life events, this glorious task will be handed over to you!"

The fat man rolled his eyes, "I knew you wanted to sit back and enjoy it!"

"Chef, that's what you're good at!"

"Go, go, concentrate on driving your boat......"

The two boats left the shore one after the other, Ye Yaodong should have gone to collect the ground cage net today, but he didn't feel very anxious, and it was not too late to wait for the sea to finish digging and then stop by the way.

He drove in front of him, and the other boat followed behind, to the little island he had stepped on the other day, and today they came out early, and it was only six o'clock, and the tide was receding, and the waves were still beating against the reef.

The surrounding reefs are very steep, and the tide has not yet receded, and Ye Huimei's ponytail from the wind blowing on the sea is raised to her face, she frowned and said, "Third brother, are we going to be on this island today?" But the reef here seems to be difficult to climb, and the wind is blowing the waves, and it is beating there, so dangerous."

"Who told you I was going to the island here? It's obviously not easy to climb, you can see it, I can't see it? I stopped to look for the scorpion-like reef, which, from my last observation, was easier to get to the island."

After saying that, he said to the three people in the other boat, "You go around from the left, and I'll go around from the right, and look for it to see where it is?"

Not all islands have sandy beaches at low tide, and some of the reefs around the islands are hit by waves all year round, and the water level only decreases at low tide, but the tide still fills the beach.

Unfortunately, the tide of this island does not seem to completely recede below the reef, only the direction of the scorpion reef where he stepped on the last time, the water level of the tide will be relatively low, and the shallow beach can already be seen, but only a small point is exposed.

When their boat docked and came down, the water level receded a little bit.

They looked left and right, and said with a little frown, "Dongzi, this island doesn't seem to work, huh? There is a sand beach and a pile of gravel in this small area, and the reef is relatively easy to climb, and the surrounding reef is very steep, and it is estimated that the tide will recede to the end, and there is no beach exposed, at most a small diving area is exposed."

"It doesn't matter, and you don't have to have a large beach exposed, and the shallow water is no problem, don't you see that there is a shrimp girl in the shallow water ahead?" At this time, the tide has just receded, and when it will recede, you can also go around, and it is estimated that the water level should be full to the calf, and the water is very clear, and it doesn't matter if there is a beach or not."

Everyone followed his line of sight, and there was not only a shrimp girl, but also a stone crab that happened to crawl out of nowhere.

Ye Huimeile hurriedly took the hand fishing net in her hand to catch them, and directly harvested the two little guys.

"It's over, I didn't bring a hand net, I don't know if this is shallow water and not a beach today."

Ye Yaodong looked at the fat man speechlessly, "I told you, the tools are complete, you don't have any key things, do you want to laugh at me with a bunch of pots and pans?" Do you want to change islands?"

"Forget it, save the toss, I'll go to the reef wall to dig a dig, I can see the whole piece of oysters, this is my love, it doesn't matter if the other fish are netted."

"Oysters or oysters?" Ah Zheng also looked around carefully, and casually pried open a larger one, "Hey, it's really oysters, it's quite fat, it's full."

In the eyes of outsiders, oysters and oysters are the same, but in the words of coastal people, oysters and oysters are two completely different things, with essential differences.

The oyster is relatively small, the shell is rough, and its flesh is mostly blue, and the meat is relatively small.

Oysters are relatively large, the shell also has a lot of sediment, the meat is mostly white, more abundant, the meat is full and delicate, the weight is much heavier than ordinary oysters, the umami is rich, and the taste is more fragrant and enjoyable than oysters.

The fat man said a little proudly, "My eyesight is not bad."

"So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!"

Ye Yaodong also hurriedly stepped forward to dig, the attraction of oysters to men is huge.

Only Ye Huimei rolled her eyes there, looked around, and found a spot with wild small abalone, and was about to start digging, but saw a Shi Jiugong in the crack of the reef.

She happily fished into the bucket with a hand net on the side, and after tasting the sweetness, she also liked to go to the cracks in the stones to find, and after a while, there were two more stone crabs in the bucket, two Shi Jiugong, and one blue crab.

She grabbed the big blue crab and raised it towards the few men who were working hard, and said, "Third brother, don't you go and find something else? I've found several Shi Jiugong, as well as blue crabs."

"Huh? How many of them?" Ye Yaodong turned his head to look over, but his hand was still digging there, but he accidentally pried an oyster open, and the slippery liquid flowed a little to his hand, and he felt that there was a foreign object in the palm of his hand.

He looked down in surprise, what is this?

In just an instant, he tightened his holes, "Oyster pearls!"

"Oyster pearls?"

"What oyster pearls?"

"Oyster pearls? You dug up oyster pearls?"

The three of them dug not far from him, and immediately turned their heads in surprise when they heard this, everyone on the seaside knew that as long as it was shellfish, it was possible to produce pearls.

Emi also ran over from a distance, "What did you find, third brother? Why are you so excited?"

Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised to pick up the milky white beads in his hand and looked at them, it was indeed oyster pearls, the same color as oysters.

Everyone also saw it, and the beads he was holding in his hands were excitedly gathered around.

"Damn, you actually opened it casually and opened an oyster bead?"

"Show me, the grass is quite large, quite round, and should be worth a lot of money."

"I'm so envious of it, and I don't know if there's any beads in the one I just dug up."

"Third brother, you're lucky."

Ye Yaodong handed them the beads, and he looked at the oyster meat that had just fallen out of the beads, the flesh was full, and it occupied a full shell, and the beads did not fall out, and he would not think about opening the beads from the oysters.

His little sister's voice just now was really good!

Fearing that he would miss it, he stretched out his index finger to pick at the oyster meat that filled the shell.

"it, there's one more who steps on the horse!"

He was pleasantly surprised to pull out another one, milky white, the same color as the meat of the oyster.

"Huh?"

"And?"

"Damn, what shit luck, two at a time?"

Ye Huimei looked at it with envy on her face, "Third brother, you're going to get rich, I think yours is much rounder than the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law's is a bit oval."

"I was slashed!" Xiao Xiao added.

"Yes, the second sister-in-law is sad."

The fat man rubbed his hands a little excitedly, "I don't know if there are any pearls in the oysters we just pried off."

Ah Zheng also itched and said, "Let's dig and open a few while trying?"

"There's nothing to hold ...... Ah, there is... There are bowls, fat man, you are really witty today, and you brought a bowl!" Xiaoxiao happily patted her thigh, almost forgetting that the fat man brought it in the morning.

"Hmph... When you brought it in the morning, you unceremoniously laughed at me for coming to live on a lonely island."

"Haha, you can open a little bit, dig out the meat and cook the noodles for a while, and it won't be wasted."
