Chapter 470 Selling Lobster

It was pitch black at night, no one could see anyone, only saw the light coming, but out of respect, they all said hello, what if it was an acquaintance in the village?
"Come here?"

"Well, here we are, it's quite early." Lu Xiaolu replied.

Hearing the voice over there was not his acquaintance, they each went to do their own things.

They are here, and it is not easy for Lu Xiaolu to pick them up here. They are all veterans of the sea, so there is nothing left.

Continue to drive the tricycle and walk along the coastline. There are basically people on the entire coastline and lights everywhere.

He can't go shopping anymore, so let's look here. It's raining recently, and there's no work to do. The fishermen are all out to catch the sea to prevent others from robbing their things, and they get up earlier than one.

At this time, it is already low tide time, and you can pick them up on the beach or on the reef.

Lu Xiaolu also saw many people picking up oysters. Wild oysters are different from farmed oysters. These are relatively small and cannot be sold at a high price.

It's about 8 to 12 yuan a catty, and the oyster meat has to be taken out after picking it up.

He heard from Xiao Bei that many people who do not have the ability to go to sea rely on this for a living. In the morning, one person can pick up about 1 catty.

Don't look at the few dollars, many people think they don't like it, saying that they want more food than that.

But this is how many people make a living. They sell the money for some rice, flour, grain and oil, and they can eat enough.

It is better to eat with your own hands than to beg for food.

Just like he used to catch eels, sometimes he was unlucky, and it only cost a few yuan a day, or a dozen yuan.

Lu Xiaolu was wearing a water jacket today, so he didn't have to worry about scratching his feet, so he came to the reef area and carefully searched for the fish that slipped through the cracks in the rocks with a flashlight.

After all, there was a typhoon, and there were a lot more fish than when there was no wind before.

Walking along the way, many people were carrying buckets with smiles on their faces. There were many big fish in the buckets, all of which were rolled up by the waves and stranded on the beach.

Lu Xiaolu came a little late, and only picked up two small groupers and mullets. They had wounds on their bodies, and they were dying. They probably wouldn't last long.

Either eat it yourself, or feed the ducks.

There are also some dead and straight ones that have deteriorated a little. Many people will take them home and rub them with salt, and they can be eaten, but this kind of Lu Xiaolu is not wanted.

The tide is already low today, so I can’t use a net. I can only use pliers and forks to pick it up in the crevices of rocks. If the place is wider, I can use a dipping net.

It was past five o'clock, just before dawn, and Lu Xiaolu had picked up half of the bucket. The income was not much, but it was not bad. There was a cream crab, which was a female mud crab.

The price of blue crabs is also different. Male blue crabs are called meat crabs, usually 70 to [-] yuan per catty. The price is already very good, and they are also the most caught.

If it is a female, there are more yellow crabs, which are cream crabs, which can be sold for 150 to 200 yuan per catty.

There are also more expensive ones, the butter crab, which is also a female blue crab, but the output is relatively small, and there may only be one blue crab in a hundred.

It is a real luxury, as high as 600 yuan per catty. If fishermen get one, they are absolutely reluctant to eat it for themselves, and keep it for sale.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaolu's is not a butter crab, and it's relatively small, only about two or three, and there is only one, so he can keep it for himself.

Three people share one crab, and each person eats one or two crabs. Just try something new.

I went out to catch the sea today. I didn’t intend to make money. It rained all the time, so I couldn’t go out to set up a stall. Moreover, the fish washed up by the waves were injured and died easily.

Unless it is sold to those seafood shops, the price is too low, so he doesn't want to. He would rather eat it himself than be taken advantage of by others.

Especially with the recent rain, there are fewer customers, and the prices purchased by those seafood shops are even lower.

He didn't have class all day today, and it's boring to stay at home recently, so he came out.

There are too many people out to catch the sea today, and based on his eyesight alone, he is not as good as those locals who have been catching the sea.

There are still many people digging for razor clams with shovels on the beach. When they find that kind of small hole and dig it, sprinkle some salt in it, the razor clam will come out by itself.

Some people said that it was because the razor clams felt the salt and thought they had returned to the sea, so they got out by themselves.

In fact, it is not the case. The suitable living environment for razor clam is low-salt, and it cannot stand high-salt. After the salt is sprinkled in, it wants to push the salt out, and then it is caught.

The razor clams on the beach are not too expensive, 15 yuan a catty, and it is not easy. You have to carefully look for small holes on the beach. If you dig them out in the morning, your waist will almost break.

Some of the older ones squatted all the time and couldn't even stand up in the end, but they basically came every day for daily necessities.

There would be nothing more to gain, and Lu Xiaolu was a little hungry, so he just went home.

When we got home, it was exactly six o'clock. Shirley and Cheng Min had just woken up and were washing their hands.

Lu Xiaolu thought for a while, chopped up the butter crab, cooked a seafood porridge, scrambled the leftover rice with eggs and fried rice, and reheated the leftovers from yesterday, just in time for Xueli and Cheng Min Come downstairs.

"Xue Li, sister Cheng Min, it's time to eat."

Sitting at the dining table, Shirley stuck out her tongue and said, "Hey, donkey Oppa woke up so early, thank you."

Cheng Min also smiled and said: "Thanks for your hard work, little donkey brother."

"You're welcome, let's eat quickly."

"Crab porridge, why is it so yellow?"

"I just caught a cream crab, it's not big, I can only cook porridge."

"oh oh."

The weather is still very cold, eating a bowl of fried rice with eggs and drinking a bowl of hot seafood porridge will keep your body warm.

After eating, Shirley and Cheng Min drove away. Lu Xiaolu fed food to all the big and small animals in the family. It has been raining for the past few days, and even the ducks and geese don’t like to run outside. Stuffed.

The same is true for Xiao Hei, who got up early, looking very sad at the heavy rain outside, and couldn't go out to play today.

Only Xiaobai is still sleeping peacefully. He doesn't like to run outside, but prefers to play at home.

After Lu Xiaolu went back to the cage and woke up, he found that someone added his WeChat account, and he wanted to buy his own lobster, and offered 12000 yuan.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaolu still called Xue Li, the two discussed it, and finally decided that 12000 could be sold.

Lobsters in the showroom cost 200 yuan a day, and he paid half a month's rent, which was 1400 yuan.

It has been raining again during this period, and there are not many tourists in the exhibition hall at all. The time is coming soon, and this money cannot be wasted.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly put on her clothes, only to realize that the car was driven away by Xueli as soon as she went out.

Well, then we can only drive a tricycle.

Putting on a sweater, a raincoat, and a helmet, Lu Xiaolu rode a tricycle to the exhibition hall.
