Chapter 14 Town End Corner (Part 2)
In the countryside, most people go to work during the day. So Cai Hongming came to his little girl's village and was quiet everywhere, so he couldn't even see a dog's shadow.
"My sister-in-law..." Cai Hongming came to his sister-in-law's house and shouted loudly.
His aunt Cai Yuhuang's house is a three-story building with a stone courtyard in front of it. Now the iron door is locked. This makes Cai Hongming feel a little annoyed that he should call first when he comes, and he doesn't know if his aunt is at home. His uncle collects seafood. In the afternoon, most of them drive in the nearby Linhai village to collect seafood and sell it to various restaurants in the city. His aunt sometimes goes with him to help, and he doesn't know if he has been there today.
After calling for a long time, Cai Hongming wanted to leave when he saw that no one came out. Unexpectedly, the window on the second floor opened and a head was poked out from it. He looked at it and it was his cousin Qiaohong.
"Brother, you're back!" Lu Qiaohong shouted when she saw Cai Hong.
"Well, come down and open the door quickly. I'll bring you something delicious."
"Wait."
Lu Qiaohong got down and opened the door, and Cai Hongming drove the motorcycle in.
"Why didn't you go to work today?"
"rest."
"Where is my sister-in-law?"
"Go to buy something."
Cai Hongming drove the car in and asked, then moved the things on the motorcycle into the house, took a bag of candied fruit made of sand dates for his cousin to eat. After chatting with his cousin for a few words, he saw that his sister-in-law had not come back, so he took a bucket from home, went to the kitchen to find a small stick and a knife to walk to the beach.
At home, except for his mother, he has the best relationship with his sister-in-law, because he can be said to be the one who is the one who is holding the elder sister.
After his sister-in-law got married, he often came here to eat and drink. This place can be said to be his second home besides Caijia Village.
There is actually a reason why people in Zhenwei Village do not rely on the sea to make a living, because the place near the sea is a rocky beach and the boat cannot be stopped.
When the tide is high, the stones are flooded by the sea, but when the tide is low, you can see huge rocks standing in the sea like pillars. It is the most dangerous place to sail in such places. If you are not careful, you will be touched by the reefs under the water, and the boat will be destroyed and the people will die. Now it is the low tide. Cai Hongming came to the beach and saw huge rocks standing in the sea, with waves slapped on it, splashing countless waves.
On the beach, tiny hermit crabs crawled around unscrupulously. When they saw people coming, they quickly retracted into their shells.
This kind of thing has no meat and doesn't taste very good, so Cai Hongming is too lazy to start.
He came to the beach where the seawater was flooded, and waves of waves retreated, and small holes would pop up on the sand surface. After seeing it, he picked up a small stick and dug it into the place with holes. A small sand clam appeared in front of him. This kind of thing had no meat, but it was very delicious to cook the soup. He hadn't drunk this kind of soup for a long time, so he planned to dig some back and cook it. However, after returning, he would probably be told by his sister that the people at the beach disdained these things the most, and there was nothing good to eat when they were small and meatless.
However, cheap things on the beach have a certain value when they arrive in the market. If a sand clam is as big as a thumb, it can be sold for five yuan per pound, two or three yuan a small one, and a little larger one can be sold for about ten yuan.
After digging a little sand clams, seeing that it was enough to cook a soup, Cai Hongming stopped digging, took off his shoes, and crawled towards the stones standing in the sea.
There were rows of dog claws growing between the gaps in the stones in the sea, which was what he was looking for this time.
Dog claw snails are also called sea chicken claws, and Western countries are called ghost claw snails. They call them "seafood from hell". Although this kind of thing has no meat, it tastes very fresh. After eating it once, few people will forget it.
Cai Hongming dug it out and saw that it was enough to stir-fry it for a plate, so he stopped digging. These things were fresh and delicious. If they were put overnight, the taste would not be so good. In addition to the long dog claw snails, there were seaweed and oysters on the stone. The seaweed had no taste. He was too lazy to pick it, so he turned to find oysters on the stone.
This piece of stone is the best place for oysters to live in.
Although the people in Zhenwei Village do not want to ask about the sea, the women in the village come here to dig oysters here every morning to sell them. Oysters on stones are often dug, so they are very small, but even if they are very small, they can be sold for about fifteen yuan when they arrive at the market.
The closer the oysters are, the smaller the oysters are. Because people often dig there, Cai Hongming tried to jump to the stones in the distance to see if he could dig larger oysters.
Everyone knows the deliciousness of oysters. Lazy people who don’t want to cook just boil it a little and dip it in a little sauce and vinegar to taste. If you are careful and roast it with garlic, the taste is so beautiful that you can swallow your tongue. Especially for this kind of wild oyster that is digging, the taste is even more delicious.
Cai Hongming took the knife he brought and knocked a raw oyster meat from the oysters attached to the rock and put it in his mouth. The delicious taste was so delicious that it made people feel aftertaste.
Oysters are not only delicious food, but also traditional Chinese medicine. Compendium of Materia Medica records: Eating it more can activate the skin, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, and cure deficiency and relieve erysipelas. Modern medicine believes that oysters, that is, oysters, have seven major effects: 1. Strengthen the liver and detoxify; 2. Improve sexual function; 3. Blood congestion and purify blood; 4. Restore fatigue; 5. Boil the body and skin; 6. Improve immunity; 7. Promote metabolism.
Most of the women who dig oysters here in Zhenwei Village are digging here. They are all digging in the sea where they can stand, and few digging in the distance.
The place where Cai Hongming went was quite far from the beach and people could not gain a foothold, so there were more oysters here and larger. After digging for a while, he saw that it was almost enough to eat, so he jumped back to the shore and planned to go back. He just jumped onto the soft sand, and suddenly his feet were empty and he fell into it. It seemed that something had been stepped on under his feet, which was strange.
Is it a shell?
He has come to the beach so many times, and has seen countless small shells, but not one of them. Could it be that the business has come to the door today? Cai Hongming thought, lifted his feet, put down the bucket, and dug it into the sand with the wooden stick he brought. After a while, he saw what was below.
Cai Hongming dug it up and saw that it was a football that looked like a stone. It had a slightly white surface and was very light in weight, which smelled a little fragrant.
I don't know what it is.
