Chapter 105: Emperor Tang Helmet Snail

Originally, Lin Xiuqing wanted to take advantage of these few days not being very busy to go back to her mother's house to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, and by the way, tell her family the moving date. Didn't expect another typhoon, now can only wait for the typhoon to pass.

They have many typhoons here in summer. This year is still good. Many typhoons didn't pass through them, and there was no impact. But heard that this one is a big typhoon.

The loudspeaker of the commune in the village played early in the morning, and the whole village heard it.

Some people were in a hurry to go to the seaside to drive the boat to the shelter, and some were still calm, not in a hurry, saying there were still a few days.

Ye Yaodong is one of the people who is not in a hurry.

There are goods in typhoon weather!

He collected goods yesterday, and went to collect them once tomorrow, and by the way, drove the boat to the shelter. After calculating, he wandered towards the new house, and by the way, planned to go to the beach to see the tide.

Fortunately, their new house tiles will be finished today, otherwise, if they were put there halfway, they would really be afraid of being blown away by the typhoon.

After wandering around the house and looking at the progress of the tiles, Ye Fu and his two elder brothers were also helping, so he walked towards the coast with peace of mind.

Looking at the tide that was receding calmly, he didn't feel how big the waves were, until he saw a large clam the size of a fist washed up on the beach, he was sure that the waves in the outer sea should not be small.

Since he saw it, there was no reason not to pick it up, and fortunately he brought a sack again!

Smart!

Heard about the typhoon yesterday, and the broadcast played it again this morning. When he went out, he took a sack by the way, which could come in handy.

Clams, white clams, blood clams...

"Ah? There are also Wen clams? There are also here..."

Wen clams are relatively expensive clams, known as "the first fresh under heaven." The outer shell is slightly triangular, the body is relatively large, and the largest diameter can reach 5 cm.

The clam oil for their skincare products now is made of large clam shells as containers.

If he had known, he would have called his wife out. She had been out with him a few times before, and she was very excited and quite keen on catching the sea.

He picked up all the seafood washed up by the waves into the sack. There were quite a few people standing on the shore, all watching the tide. Unfortunately, none of them brought containers, didn't have Ye Yaodong's good habit, could shake a sack out of his pocket wherever he went, and could only watch him pick.

Some people who were not far from the seaside ran home to get buckets when they saw this.

Until Ye Yaodong picked up a large conch more than 20 cm high, the people standing on the shore were also not calm.

"What is that? Such a big conch?"

"Adong, is there meat in that conch, or a hermit crab?"

"Bring it over to see, such a big conch is rare."

"Should be a hermit crab??"

Ye Yaodong was also pleasantly surprised holding the large conch. As soon as he got it, he felt that this one weighed 3 or 4 jin. He pressed its head with his thumb, and it immediately shrank.

This conch meat is fat and delicious, and the taste is like abalone. He licked his lower lip, a bit missing conch slices. This cut into slices, the meat is very crisp and tender, and will not become hard when heated like ordinary conch meat.

But, sigh, just think about it. With thousands of yuan of savings at home, he is reluctant to eat it, can only wait until he gets rich.

Hearing the calls of others on the shore, he ignored them, as if he didn't hear them. Anyway, the wind by the sea was strong, so he threw it directly into the sack.

What to see?

Gather a group of people to the beach to share a piece of the pie after seeing it?

Just take a look from afar!

Ye Fu and Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua, originally looked at the tide, saw many people on the beach, and came out to look again. Seeing this, they sent the second brother back to say something and bring a bucket.

The typhoon was still early. Today, there were no waves on the shore. Everyone was unprepared. Originally, they just came out to see the tide.

Ye Yaodong walked and picked along the tide. After a while, Lin Xiuqing also came with a bucket. She complained, "Why didn't you call me when you came to the beach?"

"You weren't feeding the children breakfast, I came out to the house to see if the tiles were almost finished, and by the way, see how the tide is."

"What did you pick?"

He took out the large conch and showed it to her like a treasure, "Big, right?"

Lin Xiuqing took it happily, turned it over and over, and touched the meat on its head, "So big, I've never seen such a big one."

"More than 20 cm, right."

She smiled happily, her cheeks were red, "This one must weigh several jin!"

"3.4 jin is almost there, can sell for a few yuan. There are many snails on the beach today," he opened the mouth of the sack wide and shook it to let her see, "They are all kinds of clams and conchs, there are fewer small fish and shrimp."

"Let's hurry up and follow the tide, look for more." She put the large conch into her own bucket, carried the bucket and walked towards the tide shaking.

Seeing this, Ye Yaodong also followed, and there were more and more people on the beach.

After a while, Lin Xiuqing picked up half a bucket full, and it was a bit strenuous to carry. She simply poured them all into Ye Yaodong's sack, only picked out the large conch and continued to put it in her own bucket, smiling and saying, "I like this large conch, if only I could sell the meat and not the shell."

"Then don't buy it? Eat it yourself?"

She gave him a white look, "There are so many people at home, this one is enough for who to eat, cutting into slices is not enough for one person to pick two chopsticks!"

"Cutting into slices and stir-frying, one person two chopsticks is still there, after all, it's so big."

"Are you greedy yourself? Don't think about ruining good things, this is to be sold for money!"

Seeing her money-fan appearance, Ye Yaodong smiled, "Isn't it you who want to keep the conch shell?"

"Forget it, making money is important! There seems to be a white conch there." While talking, she ran forward to pick it up.

"Why is this conch white? It's quite big, almost bigger than my fist, and quite beautiful."

She muttered for a while, then threw it into the bucket. Ye Yaodong looked at it from afar and felt a bit familiar.

"Show me the white conch you just picked?"

"What? Still want to exchange?"

"No," he took it out of her bucket and held it in his hand, "Why is this so familiar? Emperor Tang Helmet Snail?"

"What what snail?" Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a confused face.

"This is Emperor Tang Helmet Snail, right? It is named because it looks like a Tang Dynasty crown. There are many in the South China Sea and Wanwan sea areas."

"Is it very valuable?"

"One of the four famous snails, it is a precious conch, there is a certain probability of producing pearls, the pearls it produces are one of the ten precious and rare pearls."

Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up when she heard this. She thought of that Melo pearl, "So famous? Then shall we smash it?"

"Don't want its shell anymore?"

"Then pick out its conch meat?"

"Not selling for money? This is still quite valuable!"

"Ah?"

Ye Yaodong deliberately teased her, and only felt funny seeing her tangled appearance. Didn't expect his wife to have this side.

Lin Xiuqing hesitated, "Then... then still pick out the meat to see, gamble on a ten thousand?"

"Fine! Our family, you are the biggest, whatever you say is what it is?"

She glared at him reproachfully, "I'm not thinking about the ten thousand?"

"Why are you two standing here? Everyone is bending over to pick shells and snails." Ye second sister-in-law saw the two standing there, tangled and excited, a bit curious, so she walked over.

"Eh, you also picked up this snail, I also picked up two that look quite good."

The couple looked at her in surprise, "You picked up two?"

Saying that, they both stretched their necks, and saw that there were indeed two large and small ones in her bucket. Ye Yaodong also picked them up and looked at them, comparing them.

"Exactly the same. Then second sister-in-law, these two are also Emperor Tang Helmet Snails."

"What Emperor what snail?" Ye second sister-in-law was a bit confused, "Do you know it? Then is this snail valuable?"

"Valuable! Adong said that if there are pearls inside, the pearls are even more valuable!" ===== CHAPTER 106 =====

"What emperor, what conch?" Ye Ersao listened, feeling a bit confused. "Do you guys know it? Is this conch valuable?"

"It's valuable! Adong said that if there are pearls inside, the pearls are even more valuable!"
