Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 156 Grouper?rock clam

The four were very excited, and one of them took a bowl and rushed directly to the reef, only attacking the oysters that grew naturally on the rock wall, and they turned a blind eye to other mussels, sea melon seeds, bergamot, small abalone, ox eyes, etc.

How can these oysters be more attractive at the moment?

It's never too late to dig those things later.

Few people come to these isolated islands. Occasionally, those who have a boat at home may come to dig some food to go back. Every day, fish and shrimps also need some shellfish for a change of taste. People like them who come here every three days to try their luck are still there. It is relatively rare, and everyone would rather spend time fishing in the sea for money.

Ye Huimei also excitedly took a bowl and added them freshly opened oysters, and she wanted to jump up in surprise at the first touch.

"Ahhh... pearls!"

"Ah? What the fuck?" Ye Yaodong turned his head when he heard her surprised voice, "Dig out one!"

"Ah~ Let me see, let me see..." The others also ran over in a hurry, all envious.

"Why are you brothers and sisters so lucky?"

"Yeah, I've opened several of them, but I haven't opened them yet."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "It's normal if it doesn't come out. I heard that only one out of [-] oysters can be opened. My sister should be a newcomer."

He might be blessed by Mazu!There is a lucky bonus when you are reborn!
Ye Huimei's face was flushed with excitement, and she kept looking left and right in the sun with the pearl in her hand, "Third brother, give me one of the two you just had for comparison."

Ye Yaodong took out his pockets, the two he had just now were exactly the same size, rare even and round.

"I'm a lot smaller than you."

"It's pretty good, dig another one and make a pair, which can be made into pearl earrings as a dowry in the future." Xiao Xiao said jokingly, causing Ye Yaodong to give him a hard look.

"Hurry up and work. I don't know how long no one has visited this island. Every oyster is 5+. It's super fat. If you dig two of them, there will be pearls, maybe there are more."

The specifications of oysters are classified according to weight. 1+ means 1 liang and upwards, 2+ means 2 liangs and upwards, 3+, 4+, etc., and 5+ is a first-class large oyster.

These pearls are the result of the oyster's biological processes as it protects itself from foreign substances.

A foreign material, such as a grain of sand, may enter the oyster and become lodged between the mantle and shell.This will irritate the mantle, just like if you have sawdust on your fingers, you may be irritated by rubbing it.

To protect themselves, an oyster's natural response will be to mask the irritant, which it does by causing the mantle to cover the irritant with a nacreous layer.

Pearls in shellfish are usually formed in this way, but the probability is relatively low, and the formation period takes a long time.

Everyone didn't understand what 5+ was, so they just skipped it, and continued to work with a bowl in one hand and a tool in the other, full of motivation.

Ye Huimei didn't want to go to the sea any more, she also tried her best to open oysters.

Oysters are big, and Ye Yaodong filled a small bowl in a short time. He straightened up and looked around, and found that the tide had receded again, and there were more shellfish exposed on the surface of the reef.

He thought, since there is nothing left to store anyway, he might as well dig it back and open it slowly, and he doesn't know if the pearls will come out.

These two are enough, Xiaoxiao reminded him just now, he can keep it for himself, and make a pair of pearl earrings for his wife in the future.

He took the rice bowl back to the place where the pots and pans were placed, took out a few sacks in the bucket, spread out three and shook them together and held them in his hands. , Dig what you see, just throw it into the sack by category.

Any snail on the island is the size of a longan, and mussels grow whole, not to mention other things. Ye Yaodong can't help picking them up, but he hates that he doesn't have enough hands.

At this time, he heard another excited cry...

"Ahahaha~ I finally dug out one too!" The fat man held up a bead in ecstasy.

Ah Zheng knocked on the bowl enviously, "Made, when did oyster pearls become so common?"

"That's right!" Xiao Xiaoye echoed unbalancedly in her heart.

The fat man was triumphant, "This is my luck, today is not in vain."

"Humph……"

The two of them who still had nothing to gain continued to work hard, and the fat man seemed to have tasted the sweetness. He poured the oysters that were already full into the pot, and vacated the bowl to continue filling.

Ye Yaodong glanced at it, and couldn't help sighing that the fat man was lucky. Seeing that there were a lot of oysters in the sack just now, he wondered if he could get pearls out of it when he took it home?
When the goods on the short reef were almost dug, he climbed up to the high place with the sack in his hand, but because of the slippery soles of his feet and the weight of the sack in his hand, he fell straight down, with his feet in the air...

"Ah~ what the hell~"

When the others heard his exclamation, they thought he had found something good again, but when they turned around, it turned out that it had fallen.

"Hahaha~ It made me nervous. I thought you had found a big deal again." Ah Zheng patted his chest deliberately and exaggeratedly.

Xiao Xiao also exaggerated: "It made me panic~"

"It's... a bitch, I don't know how to care about it."

Ye Huimei smiled and said: "Since you can still curse, third brother, then it should be fine."

He patted his buttocks, stood up, and said speechlessly: "The tide has receded. If the tide hadn't receded, it would have slipped off the reef and rolled into the sea. If it wasn't seriously injured, it would have peeled off its skin. Those who couldn't swim would be doomed."

"Then you sit down and rest for a while? Stop climbing?"

He looked up at the steep reef, and there were a lot of shells growing densely on it. He hesitated whether to climb up again?

At this time, I felt a little pain in my left arm after I realized it. When I lifted it up, I saw several long cuts, my clothes were torn, and a few blood beads came out.

"Damn, it's so sharp."

Ye Huimei heard his movements, and walked over to take a look, "Are you really hurt? Then sit down and rest for a while, third brother, I'll dig a little more for you."

He patted her on the head, "Don't worry about it, go play with yours, don't dig so hard, be careful, don't climb up. The rocks are very slippery just after low tide, and the shells on them are very sharp. You Just turn around underneath."

"Oh fine."

He threw the sack aside, rolled up his trousers, and carried the bucket and pokers, planning to go to the sea first, and find out where there are good things around the low tide, or where it is easier to climb.

Ye Huimei stopped climbing after thinking about it, and followed Ye Yaodong's example by rolling up her trousers and following him with a sack, planning to dig some places underneath where it was easy to dig.

He went down until the tide was full to his calf, and then he walked out of the rock, and saw a big nine-section shrimp swimming in the tide, he grabbed it with tongs and threw it directly into the bucket. One is not too small, it seems to be close to one or two.

Not far away, there was an octopus shaking its tentacles. He drenched in the sea water, took a few quick steps, and stepped forward to clamp it into the bucket.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a group of light brown, bream-like fish swimming in the shallow puddle between the two reefs.

Immediately, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked a few steps forward. After a closer look, he realized that this is not a rock clam?

The body is light brown, mixed with blue tones, there is a blue longitudinal stripe under the head and eye sockets, and the fins are yellow, so it is also called Huangzhizai in some places.

This is one of the species of bream. No wonder he looks like a bream from a distance, but he is not sure what it is.

This kind of fish generally travels at night and is a nocturnal fish. During the day, most of them gather around independent reefs or at the junction of sand and mud, and they disperse to look for food at night.

Now that the tide receded, they were exposed. Ye Yaodong roughly estimated that there were about [-] or [-] fish here, and each fish seemed to weigh more than two or three catties. Not too small, this fish is still carved Class aristocrats, not cheap.

It only took a few seconds from his surprise discovery to the moment when he approached and calculated in his heart.

Excitedly, he shouted directly at Ye Huimei: "Little sister, go and help me get the fishing net, hurry up."

The voice was full of joy, and everyone could hear it.

"Did you find anything good, third brother?"

"What else? Dongzi?"

"Go and bring it to me first."

The sea water kept washing away, and he was worried that they would swim out of the puddle and run to the sea, and there would be no way to collect them all.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Ye Huimei hurried back to help him catch the net.

The fat man climbed down from the reef, curiously going over to have a look, and move his waist by the way, his waist can't stand it if he keeps bending like this.

"Little sister, what did your brother find again? So excited?"

"I don't know either, I haven't seen it."

Ye Huimei took the fishing net in her hand and hurriedly sent it over. When she got closer, she saw that it was a group of snappers.

"Ah? So many fish! Third brother, what kind of bream is this? I only know black bream, yellow bream and red bream!"

Ye Yaodong lifted the fishing net, and happily replied, "This is a rock clam."

"Grouper? No, it's not a sea bream..."

"It's a clam, a rock clam."

"Stone clam?" Fatty also came over, "Damn it, there's a whole puddle!"

His voice immediately attracted Ah Zheng who was still struggling.

"What? Groupers and puddles?"

"What grouper? Tiger spot? Isn't it?"

The two of them got down from the reef in astonishment.

The fat man said angrily: "Grass, deaf, it's a rock clam! You still have grouper, grouper, tiger, your head, tiger, tiger spot is not as valuable as this fish..."

Ye Yaodong quickly divided the fish in the puddle several times, scooped them all up into buckets, and happily handed them to the two people who just ran over.

"It's a rock clam!"

"Fuck~"

The two of them didn't know what to say anymore, so they could only say shit in unison.

"Pearls, no pearls, no fish, no fish, I'll just watch you make a fortune by yourself..."

"Made, this bucket is worth a lot of money, and Dongzi found it again! Let's go, we also carried the bucket around, and he found all the good things..."
