Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Wang Feng paused for a moment, looked at the empty rocky beach, and curled her lips in disdain.

"Second brother, are you still half asleep?"

"What could possibly be in these cracks in these broken rocks? There aren't even enough buckets to hold it all. Do you think this is the Dragon King's backyard?"

Wu Sui didn't respond. He rolled up his trousers, stepped on the slippery moss, and jumped into the waist-deep seawater.

The green light from the system's radar was flashing wildly right in front of me.

The nearest point of light was hidden under a rock covered with oyster shells.

He bent down, half of his body submerged in the water, and his hand followed the current to feel into the crevices of the rocks.

My fingertips touched something soft and covered in barbs.

"Gotcha." Wu Sui pulled hard and yanked it out.

By the faint moonlight, he held something thick, short, and dark in his hand.

Startled, the thing was spitting out white, thread-like liquid through Wu Sui's fingers.

As evil as can be!

"What the hell is this disgusting thing?" Wang Feng took a half step back in disgust.

Wu Gang leaned forward, squinted and took a closer look, then gasped.

"Selinmu, it's a sea cucumber, a wild black sea cucumber." Wu Gang couldn't control his voice.

The scientific name of the black sea cucumber is *Codonopsis pilosula*.

Locally it is also called black sea cucumber, black ginseng, etc.

In some traditional medical views, black ginseng is believed to have the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, and it has a certain effect on postpartum insufficient milk production and physical weakness.

In short, anything related to kidney tonification is never cheap.

Wang Feng covered Wu Gang's mouth with her hand, her eyes wide open.

"Are you trying to summon the souls of the villagers?"

She snatched the sea cucumber from Wu Sui's hand.

These sea cucumbers are enormous, about the thickness of three adult fingers, and quite heavy in the hand, weighing at least two ounces.

"My goodness, how much would this cost..." Wang Feng's hands were trembling.

Wu Sui washed the sticky residue off his hands in the seawater: "Sister-in-law, who was it that said there was nothing on this rocky beach?"

"I'm blind, you know." Wang Feng didn't care about saving face at this moment. She kicked off her plastic sandals and jumped into the water with a "plop".

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and come down and touch it, this is all money!" She pulled Wu Gang's trouser leg down.

Wu Gang panicked and scrambled into the water.

Now comes the moment to witness a miracle.

Wu Sui activated the system radar, and the green lights in front of him were as dense as stars.

Whether it was due to the strong winds and waves or some special ocean current, this once-deserted rocky area has become a natural habitat for sea cucumbers.

"Brother, dig a little deeper under that triangular rock on your left," Wu Sui instructed as he picked up the stones.

Wu Gang reached out and pulled out two large sea cucumbers that were stuck together.

"Really? Ah Sui, your eyesight is amazing!" Wu Gang was overjoyed.

"Sister-in-law, dig into the crack in the rock behind your heel."

Wang Feng, with her buttocks sticking out and most of her body submerged in water, used both hands to pull one out at the same time.

"I'm rich, I'm rich..." Wang Feng muttered to herself, her movements as fast as if she had a motor.

The three of them acted as if they were in their own vegetable garden, requiring no special skills whatsoever; they simply bent down, reached out, and filled the buckets.

In less than twenty minutes, the three buckets they brought were full.

They were all dark, plump wild sea cucumbers.

"Oh no, oh no!" Wang Feng exclaimed, slapping her thigh in frustration as she looked at the overflowing bucket.

"We can't fit any more! What are we going to do? There are so many more in the sea, we can't just leave them here for others to enjoy, can we?"

Wu Gang chuckled and pulled out several neatly folded snakeskin bags from behind his waist.

"You damned devil, why didn't you take the bag out earlier?" Wang Feng snatched the snakeskin bag and opened the mouth of the bag.

Wu Gang scratched his head: "This is based on the experience I gained from picking up abalone last night. I figured it might come in handy, so I stuffed a few in."

"Well done." Wu Sui gave a thumbs up.

With the snakeskin bag, the three men became even more unrestrained in their actions.

This rocky area is only a few hundred meters away from the mudflats to the west, where hundreds of villagers are still fighting tooth and nail over a sandworm as thick as a finger.

Meanwhile, the three of them were quietly making a fortune.

"Be quiet, don't make too much noise," Wu Sui whispered a reminder.

"If the people on the other side of the mudflats find out, we won't be able to save these hundreds of kilograms of sea cucumbers."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was so frightened that she even held her breath.

She quickly stuffed the sea cucumbers into the bag, not even bothering to drain the water.

"Did you two brothers skip lunch?" Wang Feng asked, complaining as she frantically picked up the leftovers.

"Hurry up! At this rate, you won't finish picking them up by dawn."

Wu Gang was so tired he was panting heavily, and his arms ached so much he couldn't lift them.

"Honey, my back is killing me, can I rest for a couple of minutes?"

Wang Feng slapped Wu Gang on the back.

"Stop resting, wait until the money's in your pocket, then go home and relax in bed!"

"Hurry, there's another one in that crevice in the rocks, don't miss it."

Wu Sui looked at his sister-in-law's crazy appearance and secretly found it amusing.

He wasn't in a hurry. With the system radar on, he didn't bother bending down to deal with the small dots, instead targeting the large dots with astonishing brightness.

Every touch reveals a top-quality old ginseng, weighing three or four ounces or more.

Wild black sea cucumbers of this grade are highly sought after, no matter where they are, and their price is several times higher than that of ordinary sea cucumbers.

Time passed second by second.

The seawater was getting colder and colder, and the three of them were already soaked through, their clothes clinging tightly to their bodies.

But no one complained of being cold; they only felt hot all over, a feeling stimulated by the money.

For over three hours, we waited for the tide to start rising.

The four snakeskin bags were completely full, bulging and bulging.

A rough estimate suggests that this batch of sea cucumbers weighs at least 200 jin (100 kg).

"Alright, that's enough." Wu Sui shut down the system, straightened up, and rubbed his aching back.

"If we keep picking them up, the three of us won't be able to carry them all back."

The main problem was that there were very few spots of light left, and some locations were too deep, so he didn't dare let his older brother take the risk.

Wang Feng stared at the large bags of spoils on the ground, her eyes gleaming with greed, and sat down on the rocks, panting heavily.

"My goodness, I've never seen so many sea cucumbers in my life! How much would this cost...?"

Wu Gang felt like his body had fallen apart; he slumped down next to Wang Feng, too weak to even speak.

"Brother, you keep an eye on the goods, I'll go scout ahead."

Wu Sui carried the bucket full of sea cucumbers and hid it behind a towering reef.

Although this place is remote, they definitely can't avoid the main road if they want to carry so much goods back to the village.

If they happen to run into villagers returning empty-handed from the mudflats, trouble is inevitable.

Wu Gang nodded, forcing himself to sit up straight.

Wu Sui walked along the rocks towards the shore.

He paused as he climbed the slope of the flood control embankment.

From the direction of the western mudflats, two beams of flashlight were swaying and shining in this direction.

Accompanied by the sea breeze, the faint voices of several men, raspy and hoarse, could be heard.

"Chen Fugui, what kind of lousy road did you bring? This whole east side is just rocks, where are we going to find any seafood?"

"You don't know anything. There's nothing left on the mudflats. That Wu Lao Er is a cunning little rascal. He didn't go to the mudflats; he must have come here."

"No one can hide in these cracks in the rocks. Let's go take a look. If we follow that kid, we're sure to find some good stuff."
