Chapter 69

What Zichun said about the tidal flats is that the water is shallow and the mud is thick, but according to her, there are many crabs here.Crabs with thick meat and cream are sometimes sold more expensive than sea fish.If you can catch more, the family will have enough expenses for two months.

To catch a crab is to be fully armed.Ling Mei put on rubber gloves and carried a long iron pliers in her hand. She walked carefully in the tidal flat, for fear that the water would shake and the prey would escape.

Ziming told her: "If you find something, don't do it. Tell me to catch crabs. Crabs in the sea are fierce, they can bite off people's fingers."

Ling Mei was afraid of pain, so she couldn't help shrinking her hands.

But she was determined to help them, thinking that sharks would never be able to swim in places like tidal flats, right?So secretly put some spiritual springs in the water.Then pile a few stones here to mark it, and after half an hour, take the two sisters back to harvest.

The Zichun sisters were stunned.I couldn’t believe my eyes: in the small waters, there were crowds of crabs, blue crabs, and blue crabs spitting bubbles and waving iron pincers.

Zixuan yelled: "Brother, come quickly, come quickly. Sister Lingmei has found the crab nest!"

Ziming rushed over when he heard the sound, and was also dumbfounded: Isn't it too much?How did Lingmei poke the sea cucumber nest, but still find the crab nest?
"Why are you staring blankly?" Ling Mei pointed at the group of crabs, "Hurry up and catch them. Pick the big ones and keep the small ones for future growth."

Ziming laughed happily: "How can this be to catch the sea? It's better than a net at sea."

The three of them clamped down, Ziming moved quickly, tied up all the crabs, filled all the small buckets, took off his outer shirt and pocketed about ten crabs before giving up.

When returning, Jin Zhu also came in this direction.Zi Ming stepped forward and said to her: "There are many crabs over there, if you go now, you can catch quite a few."

Jinzhu's eyes were bright, she pursed her lips and smiled at Ziming, and ran quickly to the place he said.

Zixuan and Zichun looked at each other, and couldn't help pulling their lips: Luo Ziming, the stupid brother, fell into Jin Zhu's hands.

Lingmei also shook her head, and said to Ziming: "Second cousin. Fresh sea cucumbers are not easy to store. I want to sell them first. Do you know any reliable employers?"

Ziming was surprised and asked, "Don't you want to discuss it with my aunt?" Then he realized that this cousin can make up her own mind, and immediately said, "Yes, yes. I will take you there."

Lingmei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you Brother Ziming."

Ziming took them to a row of bungalows by the pier.The smell of seafood on the face was so strong that Lingmei had to hold her breath and slowly adapt.

Ziming greeted all the way: "Is Uncle Liu there?"

"Lao Liu is entertaining guests."

"Brother Liu, Ziming is looking for you."

After a while, the brothers and sisters of Ziming were taken to a seafood shop.

Liu Yang's seafood shop is obviously different from others.Ruoda's four words are written on the billboard outside him: sea cucumber, abalone.

It seems that this Uncle Liu is only engaged in the business of ginseng and abalone.

At this time, there was a young man in his 20s standing in his shop, wearing a shirt and trousers that were scratched.Ling Mei glanced at the belt with the Pierre Cardin logo on his waist, thinking to herself, this is really a big customer.

At this time, people who can wear big foreign brands are either rich or expensive.

Brother Liu greeted them: "It's Ziming, please wait a moment."

It was the guest who glanced at Ling Mei and quickly turned back to stay for a long time, and said with a smile: "My business is not urgent, you take care of them first."

Liu Yang was taken aback, and quickly laughed, "Mr. Duan is so polite."

Seeing that the small buckets of Ziming and the others were full of tied sea crabs, he was stunned: "You caught them today? You're lucky. Did you find anything good?"

Ling Mei sent her small water bucket to him.

Liu Yang and Mr. Duan exclaimed almost at the same time: "Sea cucumber!"

"What a big sea cucumber!" Liu Yang was shocked: "You found this? Where did you catch it?"

Lingmei corrected him: "I found it under the rocks. Brother Ziming said that your price is fair, so I want to give you palm eyes."

Liu Yang grinned: "It must be fair, it must be fair."

God looks down, Mr. Duan is not looking down on the sea cucumbers he received, isn't this sending a batch of top-quality ones?

Mr. Duan heard that Lingmei's words were good, her expression was dignified and generous, she didn't look like a girl in the countryside at all, he was curious and couldn't help guessing her identity secretly.

Only then did Liu Yang recognize Ling Mei: "Ziming, is this a relative of your family? I think it looks a bit like your aunt when she was young."

Ziming said, "Uncle Liu has a good eye. Lingmei is my aunt's daughter."

Liu Yang praised with a smile: "No wonder no wonder."

He weighed the sea cucumbers and was even more satisfied: "Boss Duan, come and see. I can assure you that you won't find better sea cucumbers than them. They are taller than mine, and they are in good condition. Sunshine It might weigh a pound after drying."

Mr. Duan estimated the quantity and smiled: "Thirty sea cucumbers are really good."

Liu Yang weighed the sea cucumber, and said to Ling Mei: "Ling Mei, Uncle Liu has taken your goods. I'll give you the highest market price, 50 yuan per catty, 1500 yuan. Is that okay?"

For a girl like Lingmei, 1500 yuan is a huge sum of money.But Mr. Duan and Liu Yang didn't see the slightest fluctuation on her face.

"Uncle Liu is just as my brother said, just and fair." Ling Mei flattered Liu Yang very naturally.Liu Yang secretly took a look at Mr. Duan happily.His receiving price is here, Mr. Duan can't think his price is too high anymore, can he?Besides, this batch of goods, even if he didn't sell it to Duan, someone would rush to take it.

The money and the goods were settled, and Ling Mei was about to leave when Mr. Duan suddenly said, "Your sea crabs are also good. Can you sell them to me?"

Ziming opened his mouth and smiled: "What's so bad about it?" He had already counted the number of crabs when he caught them, "16 flower crabs, 12 blue crabs, and 32 swimming crabs."

Mr. Duan glanced at Liu Yang.

Liu Yang said knowingly: "Blue crabs are the most expensive. But now is not the time."

Mr. Duan immediately said, "We will pay the price of the blue crab."

Liu Yang hid his surprise and said with a smile, "Zi Ming, your luck today!"

Mr. Duan smiled and said, "I want to be lucky with them." It's luck against heaven to be able to catch a nest of sea cucumbers.

Liu Yang was even more surprised: When did Mr. Duan become so talkative?Still holding a group of poor boys?Seeing Mr. Duan staring at Ling Mei with a gentle smile, he knew it.I don't know whether to be happy or sad for Lingmei.

"Mr. Duan, you can accept it at a price of one yuan and one catty."

Liu Yang carefully weighed the portions and packed them by category, while praising: "What a big crab. Many of them weigh two catties...Mr. Duan, how about we calculate 90 catties?"

Mr. Duan naturally agreed.

So the brothers and sisters of the Luo family received 135 yuan of crab money.Although it can't be compared with Lingmei's sea cucumber, it is still a lot of income for them.
