Chapter 243 Fairy Shell
Chapter 243 Fairy Shell
Kelp is a good thing. It tastes good when you use it to make cold dishes or soups in hot weather.
Now not only Fu Ling Qin Mingzhu wanted to get off the boat immediately, but Ye Xiaocui was also impatient.
As soon as the boat docked, Ye Xiaocui got off first. The place where the boat docked was a mudflat. Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui were afraid that Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu would fall into the mud and sand, so they got off the boat first, then carried the two of them down and put them on the drier beach.
As soon as the two children saw the deserted beach, they started to have fun. The two sisters took the small shovel that Fu Ming made for them and went to dig for shells.
Fu Wan followed Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan who came later to pick up kelp by the reef.
"Awan, Xiaocui, this kelp is better than the one we picked up in the village!"
As soon as Jiang Chunlan climbed onto a reef, she saw kelp in the water beside the reef, swaying with the sea water.
After hearing what Jiang Chunlan said, Fu Wan also picked up the clump of kelp closest to her.
When she picked it up, she found that it was just as Jiang Chunlan said. Not only did the kelp have very little mucus, but there was not even any sand to be seen when she picked it up.
I don't know where it came from.
Never mind. Meeting them is fate, so I have to pick them all up. If the wet ones are hard to sell, I’ll dry them and sell them. Maybe Sun Youcai will like them.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan picked up kelp faster.
Fu Ming and Fu Liang were looking for crabs under the rocks, and surprisingly, they found several blue crabs weighing more than a kilogram.
Fu Wan had just picked up a piece of kelp at her feet when she was attracted by a bulge underneath the kelp.
Wearing gloves, she reached into the mud to pick the thing out, and then washed it in the water nearby.
Hey, isn’t this Fairy Shell?
Fairy clam is also called Xishi clam locally, and some people call it Xishi tongue and Guifei clam.
This thing is called both a fairy and Xi Shi, which shows how highly people think of it.
After washing this shellfish, you can see its true appearance. It has a pale white shell with a noble purple top. It is a bivalve mollusk with a triangular shape.
This type of fairy clams is not only beautiful, but also very delicious. Fu Wan remembered that when Fu Ming took her to the beach as a child, she scooped up a few. They were boiled in water and dipped directly into soy sauce and chili sauce, which was very delicious.
"Awan, what did you dig up?"
Ye Xiaocui watched Fu Wan put her hand into the mud and sand. She felt a little curious since she hadn't spoken for a long time.
Fu Wan shook the object in her hand, "Mom, there are fairy shells in this sand!"
"What, there's a fairy shell?!"
Fu Ming had very sharp ears. When he heard Fu Wan say there were fairy shells, he stopped catching blue crabs and ran over in a hurry.
"It's really a fairy shell, Awan, where did you dig it?"
Fu Wan pointed to the ground below her feet, "Right here!"
As soon as the sea water receded under his feet, Fu Ming saw several protrusions that looked like fairy shells.
"Aliang, get to work!"
Fu Ming threw the tongs aside, picked up the shovel beside him and began to look for the fairy shell.
Fu Wan followed closely behind, and soon the three siblings dug up several fairy shells.
Especially Fu Liang, he actually dug out a palm-sized fairy shell.
This really can't be called a shell, it should be called a clam.
"Mother, auntie, look!"
Fu Liang was very excited. After being in Africa for a long time, he had to visit Mazu again. The Goddess Mazu still remembered him.
If he doesn't sell the fairy shell after taking it back, he will keep it as a treasure and leave it to his children. This is his medal of honor!
Jiang Chunlan gave him a thumbs up, and she and Ye Xiaocui looked at the children who were digging fairy shells enthusiastically. The kelp waiting for them to pick up nearby was no longer attractive.
"Ah, having too much seafood is a real problem!"
Jiang Chunlan lowered her head and complained. Ye Xiaocui couldn't help laughing, "If you say this in the village, you will be beaten."
The villagers have to rush to the beach to get the clams, but fortunately this place is far away from the pier, so most people won't come here to do their work.
It was because Boss Fu was bored and drove around aimlessly, wasting half a barrel of diesel before he discovered this island.
It was impossible to give up the kelp, so the two old sisters quickened their movements and in a few seconds they filled the snakeskin bags and collected all the kelp on the reef.
They didn't want the smaller kelp, but threw it into the sea to see if it could grow bigger so they could come back to catch it next time.
After picking up the kelp, they walked over to see what Fu Wan and the others had harvested.
"Huh, got so many fairy shells?"
Fu Wan took the shovel without stopping, "Mom, Aunt, come and help us when you are done. We are afraid that we may have disturbed the fairy shell's nest!"
After digging one, there was another one next to it, and there were even cases where three or four were gathered together underneath the same dig.
The bucket is almost full and I am so tired that my back and waist ache.
You can’t pick them all up, you really can’t pick them all up.
When Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan heard this, they had no time to rest. They threw the snakeskin bag filled with kelp to a clean place on the beach nearby and hurried over to provide support.
With the support of Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, the fairy shell picking team moved much faster. Before long, two large buckets were filled with fairy shells, and no large fairy shells could be seen on the mudflats anymore.
They were all small ones. Occasionally, Fu Wan would pick them up and throw them into the sea, letting them come back when they grow up.
"Xiao Cui, A Wan, how are things going over here?"
After Boss Fu stopped the boat, he set up the ground trap and bamboo tube trap. After that, he took his fishing rod and ran to find a good spot and started fishing.
However, the good position he found was not very good. Apart from two one-pound sea bass that took the bait, the others either fell off the hook or got stuck on the bottom. This made Mr. Fu very angry, and he ran over here to seek comfort.
Fu Wan didn't know that her father was so unlucky today, so she called him over.
"Dad, come and help me carry all these fairy shells over!"
Boss Fu agreed immediately, threw his fishing rod and other things aside, ran over and was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"Wow, so many fairy shells!"
No wonder he has bad luck, all the good luck is here!
Just then, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu came running over from not far away, and Fu Ling was shouting as he ran.
"Mom, there's a puppy barking over here!"
Fu Wan was full of questions. Where did the ducks come from by the sea?
"Did you hear it wrong?"
Fu Ling's face was full of excitement, and Qin Mingzhu said seriously, "Godmother, we heard it right, it was the puppy's voice."
This is strange. Fu Ming and Fu Wan looked at each other and thought of everything in the sea, but they couldn't think of anything that could bark like a dog.
"Let's go and show uncle and mom!"
Fu Wan and Fu Ming held the shovels tightly in their hands and signaled Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu to lead the way.
Fu Liang also picked up a stick and followed them.
Several people followed Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu towards the place where they had run from before. When they got closer, they indeed heard the sound of something calling.
You know what, it really does sound like a puppy barking!
