Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 475: A Great Harvest of Sea Intestines

"Mom, is this true? Do you have sea sausage?"

Fu Wan stood up instantly and threw all the clams in her hand into the bucket beside her.

Ye Xiaocui nodded. "Would I lie to you? Your aunt and I have already dug two bags. In addition to selling them, we also tried some for ourselves."

If we talk about the seafood that Mr. Fu likes to eat, sea cucumber must be among them.

But this thing cannot be caught by going out to sea, it has to be dug out from the sea.

Speaking of which, sea intestines are actually different from the sandworms they often dug up before. Sea intestines are worms, while sandworms are star worms.

Sea cucumbers are also invertebrates, with an elongated, cylindrical shape and a purple-red color. These somewhat unsightly creatures tend to burrow into the sand, often leaving pencil-thick feces at their burrows. Fishermen can usually tell by this that sea cucumbers are living in the nearby sand.

As the sea cucumber known as the "naked sea cucumber", the price and taste of sea cucumber are incomparable to sandworms. Apart from sandworms, sea cucumbers can be cleaned and used to make dumplings or stir-fry leeks. They are not only sweet and crispy, but also very chewy.

Hearing that Ye Xiaocui and her friends had dug up a lot of sea intestines, Fu Ming and Fu Liang were also very excited. If they were not still catching crabs, and hearing Ye Xiaocui say that the sea intestines had been dug up almost all, the two brothers would have wanted to run over to join in the fun.

After picking up all the clams in this area, Fu Wan continued to walk to the other side of the mudflat with an empty net bag.

There are many reefs scattered on the mudflats, which is the favorite place for snails to live.

Fu Wan walked over and picked a reef at random. She reached out and touched under the reef. Sure enough, the next second, she felt the outlines of several conchs.

When she clenched her fist and took it out, she found that it was the big spicy snail with yellow mouth that she had not seen for a long time.

She immediately became alert and used all her strength to lift up the reef with one hand. Sure enough, there were quite a few snails underneath.

And each one was very big. Fu Wan didn't stop and quickly pulled all the spicy snails off.

But after all, her strength was limited. After she had pulled out all the spicy snails, she relaxed and put the reef down to restore it to its original state.

Just as Fu Wan was sitting on the reef to catch her breath and rest, Fu Ming and Fu Liang came over with another bucket.

"We caught all the big crabs over there. Not only blue crabs, we also caught several swimming crabs!"

Fu Ming muttered to himself, and then he also started searching for treasure under the reef, imitating Fu Wan's previous behavior.

Sure enough, he found a few conchs soon after.

"Awan, look, my conch seems to be different from yours!"

Fu Wan leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, it was different from her own.

"Brother, this is a windmill snail. It's valuable. Hurry up and see if there are any more!"

Fu Wan immediately sped up her search for conchs. Although the yellow-mouthed spicy conch she had just found tasted good, the conch in Fu Ming's hand tasted even better.

The conch in Fu Ming's hand is actually called the Kamin-style conch. Its most notable feature is its thin skin, so many locals also call it the thin-skinned conch.

Because its shape resembles a windmill, some people also call it a windmill snail. This type of snail tastes sweeter than other conchs, and unlike other conchs, which require the tail to be removed, the tail of the Camin conch is edible.

The most important thing is that the price of this kind of conch is generally twice as expensive as that of the yellow-mouthed large spicy conch.

Hearing that it was a valuable windmill snail, Fu Ming and Fu Liang immediately dumped all the nearby reefs.

Men are much stronger than women, so Fu Wan simply asked them to turn over the reef while she was responsible for pulling the conchs off.

With such cooperation, the three siblings became more and more in sync. Soon they had searched all the reefs on the mudflat and harvested two bags of conchs.

The more expensive windmill snails are packed in a separate bag, while the other spicy snails and red snails are packed together.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting below the sea level, and the orange-red light dyed the sea water with color. Many seabirds flew up and landed on the mudflats from time to time, looking for shrimps, crabs and shellfish that occasionally popped up on the mudflats.

"It's almost time for us to go back!"

Watching the sea water hitting the rocks again and again, Fu Wan soon noticed that the waves were getting closer.

The tide is coming in.

Since they had harvested almost everything for the day, Fu Wan hurriedly told everyone to prepare to go back.

Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan really indulged in the seafood today. If this place wasn't so remote with few houses nearby, and if they hadn't had to ride a bike to get there even from the nearest Fujia Village, there wouldn't be so many seafood here.

It was really a coincidence that Fu Wan and the others found this place. When children are having fun, adults don’t know where they can go.

This is the place where Fu Ming, Fu Wan and others explored when they were young. Even now, they dare not mention this to Ye Xiaocui and others.

If Boss Fu knew that Fu Ming was only in his teens and dared to bring his sister and brother to this deserted place, he would probably have broken his legs.

Just as they moved all their harvest to the side of the road, the place where Ye Xiaocui had been squatting to dig sea cucumbers was already submerged by sea water.

"Fortunately, we walked quickly, otherwise the tide would have risen and it would have been quite dangerous."

Ye Xiaocui patted her chest with relief, and then began to worry as she looked at the buckets and bags of all sizes on the road.

"How are we going to get all this seafood back?"

Well, this place is nice, but the road is too narrow and cars can’t fit in.

In addition to motorcycles and bicycles, two-wheeled carts are probably also in trouble.

"How about this, we carry the crabs in our hands, and put the conchs and other things in a snakeskin bag, and Big Brother rides back first.

If you can ride faster, come back and pick us up."

Fu Wan quickly made a suggestion, and Fu Ming and the others thought about it and agreed.

The few of them acted immediately. After Fu Ming tied the snakeskin bag containing conchs, clams and other things to the car, he quickly got in the car and rushed home.

As for Fu Liang and Fu Wan, they waited until Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were seated before they rode their bikes steadily towards the village.

While riding a bike, Fu Wan could still smell a strong fishy smell of the sea. She looked down and found that Ye Xiaocui had stuffed a bag of sea cucumbers into her bike basket at some point.

There was no choice, as Fu Ming's place was simply too small to accommodate them.

When they arrived at the village entrance one after another, they just saw the back of a car.

Fu Wan was feeling strange when she heard the shouts of Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu from the car.

"mom!"

"It's godmother!"

"This is An Ning's car!"

"Oh my god, I forgot to pick up the kids!"

Fu Wan cursed inwardly. She didn't expect that after Fu Ling and the others went to school, she was the one who was least able to adapt.

I was so engrossed in sea fishing today that I even forgot to pick up the kids!

Fortunately, Qin An Ning sent them back!
