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

In the courtyard, the family sat around the stone table.

Wu Sui took the money from Chen Xue and divided it into two portions.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

He pushed one of the copies in front of Wu Gang.

"According to the rules we agreed on before, 20% of this batch of goods will go to you. It's 9360 yuan, so you'll take 10000 yuan. The rest will be considered as payment for your sister-in-law's labor."

Wang Feng rubbed her hands vigorously on her apron, unusually feeling a little embarrassed.

She knew in her heart that without Wu Sui, they wouldn't even have been able to find a sea cucumber.

Who would have thought of going to the beach to collect clams during a typhoon?

That's because they think they're too long-lived.

But with so much money in front of her, she was already a little overwhelmed.

Without saying a word, Wu Sui stuffed the money into his older brother's hand.

"Brother, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. If it's agreed to be 20%, then it's 20%."

"We'll have plenty of opportunities to go out to sea and catch big catches in the future. If you keep making excuses like this, I won't dare to call you anymore."

Wu Jianguo also tapped the tobacco pipe.

"Big brother, this is from the second brother, so just take it."

"Save the money for Xiaohu's future schooling."

Wu Gang, his eyes red with tears, accepted the money.

Wang Feng snatched the money, pressed it to her chest, and grinned from ear to ear.

"Oh my God, 10000 million dollars!"

She grabbed the money, turned around, and ran into the house, hiding it immediately.

Wu Sui counted out another 500 yuan and handed it to the elderly couple.

"Dad, Mom, here's 500 yuan. I didn't pay you for the first two sorting sessions, so let's settle it all together today."

"What nonsense! Your mother and I are just helping you sort things out, why would we take your money? Hurry up and put it away."

Old Man Wu glared at him, his beard trembling with anger.

The second son used to be unreliable, and although he's doing something productive now, his extravagant spending habit remains...

Li Cuihua laughed and slapped him, telling Wu Sui to put the money away.

But Wu Sui insisted: "Dad, Mom, you worked hard, so you should get paid. I didn't give you more than the market price..."

"Market price my ass! How much do workers in the county earn in a month? You're just wasting your money."

Li Cuihua was overthinking things; she was genuinely afraid that her second son would squander all the money again, so she accepted the money with a smile.

"Alright, stop scolding him."

She glared at the old man, then turned to Chen Xue and said, "I'll take this money and keep it for you. If you need money later, just ask me."

Chen Xue naturally had no objections; she was happy that Wu Sui knew how to be filial to his parents.

Su Yu watched the family divide the money, his eyes sparkling.

Wu Sui didn't forget him either, and counted out 1000 yuan and handed it over.

"This is yours, don't think it's too little."

Su Yu happily accepted the money, his face beaming with excitement.

"Thank you, Brother Wu. This is the first time I've ever earned money, hahaha... Little Tiger, Ya Ya, come on, Uncle will take you to town to buy some delicious food."

The two children cheered and pulled Su Yu out the door.

After the money was divided, the family's attention quickly returned to the hanging coconut snails.

The sky gradually darkened.

Su Yu returned with the child, carrying bags full of snacks.

Wang Feng scolded him for wasting money, but Su Yu didn't care at all.

Dinner was incredibly lavish.

Stir-fried sea cucumber with scallions, steamed blue crab, and a pot of mixed fish soup—it was such a satisfying meal.

After dinner, the family stopped watching TV and instead sat on small stools in the yard, staring at the few coconut snails that were about to hatch.

"Clatter."

After an unknown amount of time, a soft sound rang out in the courtyard.

"It fell down." Su Yu was the first to jump up and rush over with a flashlight.

On the far right, a coconut snail had its meat completely detached from its shell and lay limply in the basin.

Wu Sui walked over, pinched it, but didn't feel anything hard. He picked up a small knife and carefully searched through the snail meat again.

"No." Wu Sui shook her head.

Everyone sighed and continued to wait.

For the next two hours, the "clattering" sound continued.

The meat from more than a dozen coconut snails gradually fell into the basin.

Wu Sui cut them open one by one and searched through them, but they were all empty.

Finally, only the giant coconut snail weighing fifteen pounds remained.

At that moment on the beach, Wu Sui's mental radar screen showed that the location of the giant snail was emitting an extremely dazzling blue light, even with a hint of gold.

That level of blue light is something that an ordinary conch shell could never produce.

Wu Sui was certain that the good stuff must be in this giant snail.

"This big guy can really hold it in!" Wu Gang rubbed his hands together, pacing anxiously in the yard.

It was past 10 p.m., just when everyone was about to give up.

"Thump!"

A muffled thud.

The huge snail meat, weighing at least five or six pounds, slammed heavily into the plastic basin, splashing a small amount of water.

"My goodness, I'm finally out! It was more exhausting than childbirth!" Wang Feng exclaimed excitedly, slapping her thigh.

The whole family swarmed around them in a flash.

Su Yu held three flashlights and shone them from different angles, illuminating the plastic basin as bright as day.

Wu Sui took a deep breath and picked up the knife.

Instead of cutting it directly, he first carefully felt the sticky snail meat with both hands.

If present, the melon balls are usually encased in the intestinal gland or mantle of the snail meat and will feel as hard lumps.

Wu Sui's hands kneaded the snail meat little by little.

Once...

Twice...

No.

There was nothing hard.

Wu Sui frowned.

Undeterred, he picked up a knife and, following the grain of the snail meat, sliced ​​the enormous chunk into thin pieces.

still none.

Clean and tidy, all meat.

"Why……"

A chorus of sighs echoed through the courtyard.

Wang Feng plopped back down on the stool, her face full of disappointment.

"I knew it! How could we possibly have that kind of luck that brings in millions?"

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Tomorrow, stir-fry this meat with green peppers, so you can have a taste of something new."

Wu Jianguo tapped his pipe and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

Chen Xue patted Wu Sui on the shoulder and gently comforted her, "Sui, it's okay, we've already earned enough today."

Only Wu Sui stood still, staring intently at the pile of minced meat on the cutting board.

impossible!

The system's radar detection has never failed!

That dazzling blue light could not possibly be just a few pounds of ordinary snail meat.

What went wrong?

Wu Sui turned his head and his gaze fell on the grape trellis.

The huge, yellow-and-black-spotted coconut snail shell was still swaying slightly on the wire.

A thought suddenly flashed through Wu Sui's mind.

He walked over and ripped the empty shell off.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Wu Gang was startled.

Wu Sui ignored him and snatched the flashlight from Su Yu's hand.

The internal structure of the coconut snail is spiral-shaped, getting deeper as you go in, and you can't usually see the bottom.

Wu Sui shone the powerful beam of his flashlight directly into the deepest part of the snail shell through the opening.

A faint yet extremely pure orange-red reflection flashed briefly at the very bottom of the shell...
