Chapter 345: Collecting Pen Shells

The egg white of seabird eggs is Q-elastic, the taste is delicate, the taste is still very good, just a pity didn't bring soy sauce out, dipping soy sauce is better to eat.

He counted the heads, three for each person to pad the stomach was almost enough, put twelve into the pot to boil, fished out after being cooked and put on the side, then started to cook noodles.

Eating all kinds of noodles and rice noodles at sea every day, he was a bit tired of it, but having something to eat was not bad, just fill the stomach.

Lin Xiang Hui said while eating, "Seabird eggs in the forest are quite easy to wash?"

"Not all seabird eggs, some are pheasant eggs, saw pheasants just entering the forest, but couldn't catch them, too able to fly, only dug a nest of pheasant eggs."

"This has to make traps, we used to go to the mountain to set traps, before our mountain wild boars, weasels, serows were quite a lot, now many are reclaimed into tea mountains, big ones were caught a lot, pheasants and rabbits are still common, occasionally can catch."

"Also good, occasionally can also improve food."

"Right, the ones raised at home are reluctant to eat, the ones caught on the mountain are also not bad, eating doesn't feel heartbroken."

"Then wait until going back, take time to make a few traps?" Seeing those two pheasants, his hands were itchy and wanted to catch them, but could only watch them fly away, what a pity.

"Also good, take wood and iron nails to simply make a few, go to the mountain tomorrow to dig a few traps."

"Good, then whether to eat meat or fish depends on your performance."

Ye Fu said with annoyance, "Don't incite your two big brothers-in-law, going out early and returning late is already tired enough, every day back the sky is already dark, still have to fiddle with what traps, what a toss."

Lin Xiang Hui just smiled, "Doesn't matter."

"Then forget it, try when free, there are quite a lot around the village mountain."

"All day long don't want to do more serious work, fiddle with these seven seven eight eight..." Ye Fu nagged a few more words.

Anyway, Ye Yaodong all treated it as ear-side wind.

Men are teenagers until death, love to play is not very normal? He doesn't prostitute, gamble, or take drugs.

After simply filling his stomach, they divided the work and each went to do their own things. The two big brothers-in-law continued to go to the sea island to fish for cuttlefish. At this time, the tide was just about to ebb, they just happened to pick while ebbing, there were more goods after ebbing.

Ye Yaodong left all the sea-catching tools for them, and left several sacks, whatever they wanted to pick cuttlefish or pry shellfish, or go to hit seabirds or pick seabird eggs.

"You guys at will, don't go into the water, pay attention to safety, we are not far away, you climb onto the reef and can see our boat, if there is anything, take the red flag in the bucket and wave it on the reef, we will come over if we see it. If hungry, take the just-cooked eggs to fill the stomach, we have to be busy at noon, so won't arrange to eat."

"Good, good, we know, you guys be busy, don't worry about us, we are not children, won't run around."

"Hmm."

The reef was not far away, if there was anything, could also take care of it.

After simply saying a few words, let them pay attention, they drove the boat to the reef, along the way could see cuttlefish floating on the sea surface from time to time, there were also scattered activities under the sea surface.

The quantity was not much, and scattered, usually could stop to take a hand-net to fish, now not worth them stopping to cast a net, they had to save their strength for later.

The dazzling sun shone on the sea surface sparkling, not far away a white huge figure floated on the sea surface, father and son looked from afar and were surprised.

"What is that?"

"Not clear, looks quite big."

"Go over and see!"

When Ye Yaodong drove the boat over, he saw clearly, "Thought it was what, turned out to be a sunfish."

Lying on the sea surface sunbathing like that, scared them just now and small excited, thought they met big goods again.

Ye Fu also said regretfully, "Go, don't worry about it."

He quickly turned the boat head, avoided it, and went to the reef again.

After arriving, he still skillfully opened the stacked ground cages, placed them row by row, Ye Fu was driving the boat slowly, father and son cooperated, didn't need to communicate, each knew how to do it.

Today's ground cages they planned to come and pull tomorrow, let time put longer, goods could also be more.

So didn't come early to place them in the dark this morning, early place and late place, no difference, anyway all had to be placed overnight. Just came to place them and then go into the water, just right.

After all ground cages were placed, Ye Yaodong looked at the high-hanging sun, morning and evening were still a bit cool, now the temperature rose a bit, hot.

He brought all his diving equipment, tried it, no problem, then tied a net bag on his waist, and tied a folded simple big net bag.

That pen shell volume was too big, big ones were more than 20 centimeters long, a net bag couldn't hold many, he called his old mother to weave a bigger one when she was free before, to facilitate his going into the water to fish.

When the time comes, just follow the old method, throw the net bag into the sea, people come up first, pull the line long, pull it up directly.

After all preparations were done, he simply did a warm-up, then jumped into the sea.

Once born, twice cooked, three times is my back door.

He arrived at the seabed at the fastest speed, identified the direction around, and picked up two sea cucumbers that were moving, then swung his feet and swam forward.

Weather good, sun shone directly on the sea surface, the light on the seabed was also very clear.

Only swam a few steps forward, he saw pieces of pale black pen shells standing in the seabed mud and sand ahead, the same as the one accidentally discovered last time, the tip stood upright and inserted into the mud and sand to live, gathered in groups.

In the coastal area, there is such a saying: sea cucumber, abalone, pen shell.

That is to say, pen shell can be comparable to sea cucumber and abalone, it is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition, and has the effect of tonifying the kidney!!

At this time, many pen shells' mouths were still slightly open, they were preying on algae.

After finding it, Ye Yaodong seized the time, planning to make a quick decision, every time going into the water time was limited, good thing these pen shells were standing on the seabed, wouldn't move, saved him quite a bit of trouble.

Otherwise like small green dragon, not necessarily could catch a few for a long time.

So even if this was relatively cheaper than sea cucumber, abalone, small green dragon, but this wouldn't move, spend some time to pull them all back, next time could directly concentrate on going to that side to continue to engage in sea cucumber and abalone, no need to swim to this side again.

That reef's abalone after his several excavations, now the quantity was also less, but still needed long-term combat.

He didn't install the small net bag first, directly took out the big net bag first, squatted there and pulled out one by one, threw them in.

This was not hard to pull, some open-mouthed pen shells felt stimulated and closed tightly directly.

20 minutes said long not long, said short not short, but enough for him to fill the big net bag.

Once the time was up, he didn't linger, put the net bag rope long, tied it on his hand and swam up.

Fish, shrimp, crab encountered around, he all treated as invisible, directly rushed to the water surface.

Ye Fu saw his figure emerging from the sea not far away, hurriedly drove the boat over, "Why emerge here?"

"Pen shells are under here, didn't swim at the reef, swam a short distance when coming down, this piece of seabed terrain is also relatively high, not as deep as the reef, estimated only ten meters deep, ebbing tide might not even have."

Ye Fu nodded casually, he hadn't been into the water, didn't know how the seabed was, whatever he said was what.

"Come up first to rest, move hands and feet."

"Hmm."

After Ye Yaodong climbed up, he handed the rope on his hand to his father by the way, "You pull, I rest for a while."

"How many jin?"

"Forty or fifty jin? Have big have small, use the rolling wheel, save effort."

"Good."

Ye Fu tied the rope on the rolling wheel, tightened the rope bit by bit, not long after a big bag of black goods was pulled to the water surface. ===== CHAPTER 346 =====

Ye Fu tied the rope to the pulley and pulled it in bit by bit. Before long, a large, black, bundled-up load was hauled to the surface.
