Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 78 All boiled into oyster sauce
Wang Feng worked quickly and efficiently. She inserted an iron shovel into the gap, twisted it forcefully, and an oyster opened.
The oyster meat was thrown into a large basin, and Chen Xue checked it for any oyster pearls.
Ya Ya squatted to one side, poking the chubby flesh with her hand and giggling.
Xiao Hu also came over, and while everyone was busy, he grabbed two oysters, pulled Ya Ya to the well to wash them, and ate them in one bite.
"You little brat, slow down, there are beads inside."
Wang Feng kept working, laughing and scolding in a bad mood.
A moment later, Chen Yang let out a loud "Awooo!"
"Brother-in-law, come quick, I've opened another one."
Chen Yang raised his hand, trembling with excitement.
Wu Sui took a closer look and saw a silver bead.
This bead is smaller than the previous one, and its shape is not very regular; it's slightly flattened.
"Not bad, not bad, keep it up, selling it for several hundred yuan shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Yang was overjoyed. He carefully placed the beads into the porcelain bowl in the middle and continued to work hard with his head down.
Wu Gang remained silent, his iron shovel flashing up and down in his hand.
Suddenly, he stopped moving.
"Second brother, take a look at this."
Wu Sui walked over, and in his elder brother's hand was a black bead, round and smooth, with a faint glow on its surface.
"Brother, this is good stuff, this one is worth at least two thousand."
Wu Gang grinned foolishly.
Wu Jianguo was not to be outdone, and soon he produced a pale yellow bead.
Wang Feng was getting anxious. Everyone else had already driven off, but there wasn't a single car in sight for her.
"What's going on? Is the feng shui bad for my oysters?"
She muttered to herself as she sped up.
When Li Cuihua finished making breakfast and came out to call everyone to eat, Wang Feng finally got the bead.
She held up a pure white bead the size of a coin and proudly showed it off.
"This one's big enough, isn't it!"
Wu Sui gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Sister-in-law, this one is the biggest and the most valuable."
Wang Feng put the beads into the bowl, and her enthusiasm increased even more.
"Alright, let's eat first. You brothers have been busy all night, so go and rest after you finish eating. We'll take care of the rest."
"Mother, let's finish this first, there's not much left."
Seeing her family's excited expressions, Li Cuihua shook her head and went to the dock to give them steamed buns.
Time passed second by second.
More than 2,000 kilograms of oysters have finally been shucked.
The aluminum basin was filled with white oyster meat.
In the porcelain bowl in the middle of the table, there was a layer of beads of various sizes.
Wu Sui stared at the bowl, completely dumbfounded.
He shucked at least four or five hundred of the two thousand kilograms of oysters.
The results of it?
Not a single one!
There really wasn't a single one!
They didn't even find a single deformed fragment.
Is he just unlucky?
Is all the luck from being reborn coming from finding seafood?
Wu Sui sighed, washed his hands, and the family prepared to eat.
Breakfast was seafood porridge. The family never lacked small miscellaneous fish. When Wang Feng and Li Cuihua were home, they would clean them and hang them to air dry.
Add some when cooking porridge or soup, and the flavor will be incredibly delicious.
After breakfast, everyone sat around in the main room to tally up the harvest.
There are thirteen in total.
The whole family stared at the bowl of beads, not daring to breathe.
Wu Sui pried the beads apart and sorted them by color.
"These three are top-quality: Xiaoxue's pink-gold pearl, my sister-in-law's large white pearl, and my brother's black pearl."
"Of the remaining ten, a few are not very well shaped, but the colors are all good."
Wu Sui did a quick mental calculation.
"If all these beads are sold, I estimate they could fetch 30,000 yuan."
The main room fell silent instantly.
Even their breathing could be heard clearly.
Thirty thousand?!
Wu Gang swallowed, feeling his throat go dry.
The three of them spent the whole night at sea, exhausted from shredding oysters.
Originally, it would have sold for a maximum of five or six thousand yuan.
The beads turned out to be so valuable?!
Wang Feng grabbed Wu Gang's arm: "Da Gang, pinch me, am I dreaming?"
Wu Sui smiled helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, this stuff is all about luck, we really hit the jackpot this time."
Wang Feng nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Since the second child got on the right path, his luck has also improved.
As a result, the family's life got better and better.
It was so good that she never even dared to dream of it before.
"Second brother, how many oysters are left in that area?"
"There are quite a lot; that entire rocky area is full of them."
Wang Feng slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Then what are we waiting for? I'll go with you tonight. We can't let anyone else find that place."
Wu Gang and Chen Yang nodded repeatedly, their eyes gleaming with admiration.
Her father glared at her, clearly annoyed.
"What woman goes on a fishing boat? She should stay at home."
"Father, I didn't mean to..."
Wu Sui quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, there aren't many oysters left, so don't go. We'll definitely pry them all back."
Wang Feng pouted, somewhat unconvinced, but ultimately didn't dare to challenge her father-in-law.
Chen Xue smiled and comforted her softly, and the two of them soon burst into laughter.
Wu Sui looked at the oyster pearls, thought for a moment, picked out the pinkish-gold pearl from the bowl, and then picked out the large white pearl.
He shoved the large white pearl into Wu Gang's hand and frantically winked at him.
Wu Gang held the bead, looking completely bewildered.
"Second brother, what happened to your eyes? Did you get sand in them?"
Wu Sui almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This guy is a master at his job, so why is he so clueless when it comes to this?
Wu Sui ignored him and turned to walk in front of Chen Xue.
He took Chen Xue's hand and placed the pink-gold bead in her palm.
"Xiaoxue, keep this bead. I'll take you to a jewelry store later and have it set in gold. It'll look beautiful as a necklace."
Chen Xue's face turned red all the way to the roots of her neck.
"Ah Sui, this is too valuable. Let's sell it for money. We need to buy a boat for the family..."
"Don't worry about the boat's cost. This bead is rare. Be good and keep it."
Chen Xue held the beads, her head lowered, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Wang Feng, who was standing nearby, felt a pang of sadness watching this scene.
She turned and glared at Wu Gang.
Wu Gang finally realized what was happening.
He looked down at the large white bead in his hand, then at Wang Feng's murderous gaze.
Wu Gang quickly handed over the bead.
"Wife, this one...this one is for you."
Wang Feng snorted and snatched the beads away.
"You blockhead, you still need the second brother to teach you!"
She rubbed the beads on her clothes, clearly enjoying them.
"I'm not wearing a necklace. I'll keep this as a dowry for Xiaohu when he gets married. It'll make him look good."
Wu Gang stood to the side, smiling憨厚ly.
Li Cuihua looked at the basin full of oyster meat and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"It's too hot. With so much meat, it'll go bad before tomorrow. We need to get rid of it quickly."
Wu Sui nodded: "Mom, let's make oyster sauce. It tastes fresh, keeps well, and we can eat it ourselves or give it away."
