The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 6 The Shrewd Little Girl
Su Yumei looked at the sun, and before it was time to make dinner, the three of them walked towards the low tide, intending to continue digging clams for a while.

Su Manjin walked to the place where the tide had just receded and took a look, the beach was still wet.

Using the tongs as a rake, she searched for hollows in the ground and dug.

In the last life, my mother-in-law liked to catch the sea very much, and she occasionally came to play with her. Her mother-in-law taught her the tricks of digging meretrix clams. When looking for "eyes", sometimes you can find a bunch of them.

Sure enough, the sand was pushed away, revealing a clam three times the size of a flower clam.Another good thing!Mother-in-law mighty :)
Su Manjin took a quick step back, continued to search for the "eye" on the ground, and dug out another clam with a diameter of four to five centimeters.

"Auntie, the beaches above are relatively dry. Come here. The tide here has just receded, and there are many things at the bottom. Just look for such a sunken place to dig, and there are often clams in it."

Su Yumei thought it was really strange, when did her niece know how to catch the sea?But it was time to go home in a while, Su Yumei didn't say anything, and took the time to dig.

Xiao Jinyang also ran to her aunt and sister, holding a small shovel, digging along in a dignified manner.

"Wow, sister, I found a clam!"

Su Manjin looked at his younger brother's excited little face, and encouraged him: "My Xiaoyang is awesome! Keep going!"

As he spoke, his hands didn't stop, and he continued to dig and rummage quickly.Suddenly, the tongs touched a stone-shaped object. Su Manjin paused with his right hand, and changed his gloved left hand to pick up the sand. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw a large meretrix meretrix about ten centimeters in diameter!

Su Manjin quickly dug up the sand and took out the clams to show to Su Yumei and Xiao Jinyang. The three were very happy.

Busy until the sun was setting, Su Manjin felt a little cold, fearing that his younger brother would be chilled by the wind, so he took out the kettle he carried with him and gave Xiao Jinyang a few sips of warm water, then took his own little scarf and put it on for his younger brother.

Looking at Xiao Jinyang's slightly red nose, Su Yumei suggested to go home first, and it was almost time to make dinner.

The three uncles and nephews went to the puddle by the reef to wash their hands, and also washed the clams with sand in the basket, and found that today was a bumper harvest.

There are all kinds of conch, clams, oysters, and five big crabs under the bucket. Su Yumei filled some seawater to raise them.

The big basket is even more than seventy percent full, all of which are large and small meretrix meretrix and flower clams.

In Xiao Jinyang's small bucket, there are small fish and crabs he likes, and a fat sea cucumber about ten centimeters long.

"Wow, sister, we picked up a lot of things!"

"Yes, then let's say thank you to Dahai, these are gifts from Dahai!"

"Yeah, thank you Dahai!" As he said that, he covered his small hands into a small horn and shouted in the direction of Dahai: "Dahai~~Thank you~~ We like your gift!"

Seeing the laughter of her nephew and niece, Su Yumei felt much lighter in her heart.

If Catch the Sea can have a good harvest, I can spare time every day to dig things, add some food for the family, and save some money for buying meat.After all, some of the money borrowed by my natal family to build an old house a few years ago has not been repaid.

Although the eldest brother built a house by himself, he borrowed it from his sister-in-law's family.Now my sister-in-law needs money to open a shop.After all, the brothers and sisters-in-law have grown up and separated. We can't help them, but at least we can't hold back the brothers and sisters-in-law anymore.

The three aunts and nephews were talking and laughing as they walked towards the shore, and saw several people gathered together on the shore.A dark-skinned man was squatting on the ground, holding a backpack in his hand, and introducing it to the tall and thin man beside him.The tall, thin man looked into the basket, as if he was negotiating a deal.

"Are these the only clams you have?"

"It's all here. There are also some clams."

"Clams are useless. Clam stew is nutritious."

The voice from the front came.

Su Manjin immediately regained her spirits, their clams can be sold!
"Uncle, are you buying and selling clams?" Su Manjin approached and asked.

Wang Chunfeng turned around and looked at the little girl with big eyes and a charming smile. His gaze passed over the basket on her arm. There were quite a few clams in it, which were quite big.

"Girl, do you want to sell these meretrix clams?" He looked at Su Yumei and asked.Thinking that this should be the adult who can call the shots in the little girl's family.

Su Yumei froze for a moment, but did not react.Su Manjin responded with a smile: "Then uncle, do you want to buy it?"

Wang Chunfeng did not expect the little girl in front of him to decide, "I want to buy it. I just talked with this brother for 10 yuan a catty, but he only has three. If you want to sell these, how about I buy them together?"

Su Manjin visually inspected her meretrix meretrix, which was relatively large, weighing four to five catties.She looked back at Su Yumei and said, "Auntie, let's sell some of the clams, and save some of the clams to eat by ourselves?"

Su Yumei didn't expect that the dug things could be sold for money, so she nodded immediately.

Su Manjin turned back to the dark-skinned man on the ground and said, "Uncle, we didn't bring the scale out today, can I borrow yours?"

Sheng Xiang nodded briskly, and found a thin red plastic bag from his pocket to put clams in Su Manjin.After Wang Chunfeng picked out a dozen or so clams and weighed them, they weighed four catties and six.

When Wang Chunfeng was picking clams, he saw Su Yumei's bucket on the ground, which contained crabs and large conch, and immediately expressed his desire to buy it.

Su Yumei thought that her niece caught the conch and crab, so she looked at Su Manjin.

Su Manjin looked at Wang Chunfeng: "Uncle, we only have five crabs, and we have to eat them ourselves, and we don't sell them. If you want to buy large conchs, we can pick a few for you at the same price as Meretrix meretrix, and we have to buy the rest by ourselves." to eat. However, we have a fat sea cucumber, you can take a look."

Sheng Xiang who was on the side was shocked, the third aunt and nephew must be very lucky.How to catch so many good things.I didn't find so many in a day of digging.

Su Jinyang heard what his sister said, obediently handed over the small bucket, and said to Wang Chunfeng cutely: "The fat sea cucumber is very big, it is a gift from the sea."

Wang Chunfeng looked into the bucket with a smile. It was indeed a sea cucumber, more than ten centimeters long. Can this kind of goods be picked up?It can be seen that it is indeed a gift from the sea.

"Little girl, this sea cucumber is pretty good, how about I buy it for you for 20 yuan?"

Su Manjin smiled and said: "Uncle, this is a wild sea cucumber, which is hard to find. We originally wanted to take it home to replenish our mother's health, but you just happened to ask about it. If you really want it, here is A head of sea cucumber will be sold to you for 30 yuan. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it, we will keep it for ourselves.”

Wang Chunfeng thought that these are indeed fresh and wild things, whether they are cooking for his own restaurant or making up for his wife, they are all fine. "Okay, then I'll buy it. You're a smart little girl."

Su Yumei was shocked, a sea cucumber can be sold for 30 yuan!The sixth aunt next door went out to do small labor on the construction site, earning only 30 yuan a day, and she had to move around, which was very hard.Xiaogong's work is too strenuous, and neither he nor his sister-in-law can do it.Didn't expect my niece to pick up a day's salary?

What shocked Su Yumei even more was that Wang Chunfeng bought all the big meretrix meretrix, which cost 46 yuan, five conch shells, which cost 22 yuan, and Shanghai ginseng, which cost 30 yuan, a total of 98 yuan.

Wang Chunfeng gave 100 yuan.Because he didn't bring any money with him when he went out to catch the sea, Su Manjin picked up the remaining 2 clams and 1 conch from the basket and handed them to him, "Sorry, uncle, we didn't bring any change when we went out, here are some for you Add up to 100 yuan, do you think it's okay?"

Wang Chunfeng looked at the girl who was generous and could settle accounts, and felt that she was very similar to his own daughter in character, so he readily agreed. "Little girl, I'm the owner of Wangchunfeng Restaurant in the town. Does your family often go to the sea? If there are good things, my restaurant can take them."

Su Manjin was happy, she was thinking of opening up a way to make money, and here she came. "Thank you, uncle. My name is Su Manjin, and this is my aunt Su Yumei. I still have to go to school, so I can only catch the sea when I have time, but my family can come, let's go back and discuss it. If there is any seafood in the future, we will send it directly If I go to your restaurant, can I charge it?"

Wang Chunfeng nodded, "Send it to the back kitchen to report my name, and I will explain it when I get back." His restaurant is one of the best in the town, and being able to have fresh seafood as dishes will naturally increase his competitiveness.

Su Manjin thanked Sheng Xiang politely, and said goodbye to Wang Chunfeng.Su Jinyang also imitated her sister: "Uncles, goodbye~"

Su Yumei walked for a while, still a little dazed. In less than half a day, she picked up 100 yuan? !The niece also negotiated a way to continue to go to sea to make money? !
No, she needs to calm down!
