A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 387 Butter Crab

"No, I can't go."

Yun Jiao shook her head and said directly.

The others were not disappointed upon hearing this, as they had expected it.

They'll be happy just from catching those lobsters today.

There are still some lobsters we haven't caught yet.

So Yunjiao and the others went into the sea and found that some of the lobsters that had escaped when they were catching them had stupidly come back.

They immediately burst into laughter.

It's good to be a little naive; how can they catch you if you're not?

Yun Jiao glanced at it and then continued diving deeper into the sea to look for the belt.

Each time the net is full, it swims back.

Current diving equipment can't reach very deep places, and besides, it's expensive, so not many people can afford it.

Therefore, the resources in the deep sea are truly abundant.

For example, the ribbon she picked up at that moment was already overflowing in that sea.

Yun Jiao made several trips back and forth, filling the large net bag to the brim each time.

Thanks to her efforts, the beach on the island has been transformed into a small, ribbon-like hill.

Even Yun Xiaowu and the others were shocked.

"Jiaojiao, how much is there in the ocean?!"

Why don't they have that ability? I really want to dive down to the bottom of the sea and see for myself.

The one who envied Su Huan the most was Su Huan.

If he had Yun Jiao's abilities, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to support himself and his grandmother.

Yun Jiao took a breath; carrying such a large amount of stuff back and forth was still tiring.

"There aren't many left. I only picked the big ones; I kept the small ones."

Freeing up space will be more conducive to the development of smaller stripes.

Yun Linhai and the others also arrived, and they were stunned when they saw that cluster of ribbon-like mountains.

Sure enough, when it comes to beachcombing, you have to look to Jiaojiao; she always manages to surprise them.

By the time Yun Jiao had found most of the large scallops in the sea, her stomach was growling with hunger.

Shen Yunlian and the others had planned to eat out, so they brought pots, pans, and various seasonings with them.

Everyone got busy at that moment.

A pot of fragrant, fresh scallop and shrimp congee, and a large bowl of raw marinated seafood.

With the raw marinated seafood on the table, no other dishes were made.

"Come and eat!"

At the adults' invitation, everyone took their bowls and chopsticks and sat down together to eat.

The raw marinated seafood uses only the freshest seafood, so the taste is naturally superb.

In the end, everyone ate until they were completely stuffed.

The sun wasn't so strong in the afternoon, and after eating something, I felt much more energetic.

"Let's search a little longer, and then we'll head back when it gets dark."

Since the whole family has finally come out together, we naturally won't go back so early.

There's no need to worry about the pigs at home. Grandma Yun has already spoken to Grandpa San in advance, and they'll come over to help feed them.

After a short rest, everyone got busy again.

First, we moved Jiang Yao onto the boat, and then we loaded the other things onto the boat as well.

Then continue exploring the island.

"Are those crabs over there?"

Yun Jiao watched as a small, golden-yellow creature darted past quickly and asked uncertainly.

"Where is it? Let's go take a look."

"I didn't expect there to be fresh water on this island."

Although it was fresh water, they didn't drink it.

I only saw some shrimp in this freshwater.

"Father, I found a crab!"

Yun Xiaowu's excited voice came through.

Yun Linhai said nonchalantly, "So what if we found it? What's there to get excited about?"

It's not like we haven't found them before; we even found two king crabs today.

"No, it's butter, butter!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Yun Linhai and the others could no longer remain calm.

Butter crabs are both precious and rare. Instantly, everyone nimbly ran towards them.

Butter crab is actually a type of mud crab, a variant of female mud crab that develops during the spawning season due to certain environmental factors.

The butter crab has an orange-yellow color all over its body, and oil seeps out from its joints, making it look very expensive.

Most importantly, the crabs at this time are full of crab roe, making them very delicious.

For various reasons, the price of butter crab is several times higher than that of ordinary mud crab.

Of course, the larger the size and the fuller the paste, the more valuable it is.

The one that Yun Xiaowu was holding looked to weigh about four ounces.

It's not small anymore.

Due to a mutation of the mud crab, butter crabs are generally smaller in size.

"Let me see, it really is butter! Where did you find it?"

At that moment, Yun Jiao's voice came through: "I caught it too!"

Everyone looked over there, and wow, it was bigger than the one Yun Xiaowu had caught.

Yun Linhe darted over and picked it up, giving it a shake.

"Based on my years of experience, Jiaojiao's weight is about 8 liang (400 grams)."

"No way? There really are butter crabs that big."

"Oh my, the roe is almost overflowing, this yellow butter crab looks so plump."

"Quickly look around and see if there are any more."

Everyone started searching actively.

Soon after, cheers of surprise and delight rang out.

"I caught one, but it's rather small."

"Wow, Ninth Brother, have you stirred up a hornet's nest?"

Yun Xiaojiu didn't find the yellow butter crab, but she found seven large blue crabs.

There are so many blue crabs here; they must be here to lay their eggs.

They didn't manage to catch all the crabs.

We didn't catch any pregnant female crabs that hadn't mutated; we only caught male crabs and a small number of those that had mutated into yellow crabs.

As it gradually got dark, everyone stopped searching.

Looking at the blue crabs and yellow crabs in the cage, everyone's smiles almost reached their ears.

Even Su Huan caught six yellow crabs and thirteen blue crabs.

He was happier than anyone else.

"Let's pack up and head back."

Back on the ship, Su Huan's was placed separately.

Yun Jiao and her family's food was placed together.

"We'll keep these for our own consumption, and sell the rest."

The leftovers included their favorite foods and some larger shrimp.

"Father, should we keep Jiang Yao for ourselves?"

Of all the piles on the boat, Jiang Yao saw that it had the most.

It's just that they're big, so when you pile them up, there are a lot of them.

"Dry the dried scallops and send them to my eldest brother and second brother."

Yun Xiaoliu: "Send some to my master too, he likes them."

Good ingredients are something every chef appreciates.

Grandpa Yun: "Then let's keep it."

They've gotten used to the fact that their family often cooks special meals for them.

So, all of Jiang Yao were kept behind.

When the boat arrived at the dock, Awang looked at the pile of Jiang Yao, and before the smile on his face could even appear, he was told that they wanted to keep it for themselves.

Awang: …………

He sighed.

Jiaojiao has a real talent for finding things, but they're also really delicious.

When others find something good, their first instinct is to sell it for money. But when she finds something, her first reaction is to see if it's something she likes to eat. If it is, then she'll keep it.

"Jiang Yao, don't even think about it. I can give you some of this stuff."

Yunlinhe brought out the butter crab.

Awang was overjoyed at the sight.

"You guys are incredibly lucky! You actually found this thing!"

Judging from their appearance, there must be quite a few of them.
