Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin poured out all the beads. There was still a big difference in size. The big ones were slightly bigger than a fifty-cent coin, while the small ones were less than one centimeter in size.

He counted them twice in a row and found that the total size was 67. I believe they can be sold for an average of 500 yuan each.

In the end, there was still half a bag left, so I wanted to see if I could get one or two more pills out.

"Eat first, you drink slowly. After I finish eating, I will pick some oyster meat to make oyster sauce, and the old lady will take some of the rest back. It will be good to dry it and keep it for eating."

Ah He finished opening the last one in his hand and waved his hands desperately. His hands really hurt after opening it for a long time.

For the last few, the eldest brother opened another one, bringing the total to 68. Zhao Qin took a large soup bowl from the kitchen, poured all the beads into the bowl, and started picking.

"Eating is all done. I think I have to go to the market to sell it." Zhao Ping urged when he saw him comparing them one by one without using chopsticks.

Zhao Qin ignored him and continued to pick. After a few minutes, he picked out four pills. There happened to be disposable cups on the incense cabinet, so he took two, put two pills in each cup, and gave them to his sister-in-law and his wife. Mrs.

"These four are about the same. It's hard to come across so many. If you don't save some, you will definitely regret it in the future. Each of you will save two big ones, and I will keep the two multi-colored ones."

Zhao Ping was about to speak, but when he saw the old lady and Xia Rong taking it happily, he couldn't say anything more.

The sister-in-law was still young, so it would be nice to keep them for herself, but the old lady thought that after Ah He agreed to get married, she would give these to the woman to look good.

"Come on, let's raise a glass together, everyone is exhausted today."

Zhao Qin poured the rest into a convenience bag, tied it and stuffed it into his pocket, then raised a glass. After a glass of wine, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Eat slowly, don't eat too fast if you are too hungry." The old lady couldn't help but warned him when she saw him like this.

Zhao Qin stuffed his mouth with food and nodded as if he agreed.

After the meal, he didn't leave either. He helped his elder brother clean up the oyster shells. In fact, these oyster shells are used as traditional Chinese medicine, but they can be found everywhere on the beach and no one collects them at all.

You can also keep it to feed chickens and ducks, but it would be troublesome to grind it up. If you have that time, you might as well catch some fish and shrimp.

After packing up the oyster shells, Zhao Qin did not rush home. Instead, he watched how his sister-in-law made oyster sauce. He had never seen it before.

I thought it would be troublesome, but it turned out to be extremely simple. Wash and drain the oysters, put them in a pot and cook them over low heat without adding water. Wait until all the water in the oysters is boiled out.

When the originally large oyster meat becomes small and dry, add some sauce, add salt and sugar, and cook it again, then the oyster meat can be taken out, leaving only the juice.

Then add water and continue cooking until the oyster juice in the pot becomes thick. Let it cool before bottling it for storage.

Zhao Qin tasted a little with a spoon and had to say that the genuine oyster sauce was really fresh and sweet. It felt like it could be stir-fried with pebbles for a long time.

"Aqin, when you go back, take two bottles with you to the old lady."

As the sister-in-law spoke, she put the oyster meat into a basin, added salt and began to marinate it. If it was winter, you could just dry it like this, but in summer, if you don't add salt, you would have to throw it away after half a day.

Zhao Qin took two bottles and said: "Sister-in-law, please give me the sea certificate. By the way, you don't have to cook my food tomorrow morning. I will go to the county early in the morning."

The appointment was for the day after tomorrow, but it didn’t matter if it was a day in advance. I went to the Maritime Safety Bureau in the morning to submit the information, and in the afternoon I went to a jewelry store in the city to see if anyone would accept this thing.

After receiving the certificate, he returned home. When he got home, he first put two multi-colored pearls away and stuffed the rest directly under the pillow.

……

Early in the morning, he arrived in the town. Unfortunately, the shuttle bus just left and the next bus would have to wait for an hour. After thinking about it, he left the station, planning to finish breakfast first.

When he came to the noodle shop, he said to the boss: "Have a bowl of beef noodles, please order more beef and noodles."

The boss looked at him blankly for a while and then said: "Young man, do you want one bowl or two bowls?"

Zhao Qin grinned, "One bowl."

Well, this boss is not cute at all, not as cute as Peng Laoliu.

Before they even met, they saw an off-road vehicle parked nearby. The old Cherokee was not cheap. I was thinking that the other party was really rich, but Chen Dong opened the cab door and walked out, "Aqin, why are you running? Is this for breakfast?”

"Brother Dong, come sit down with us." He shouted to the boss again: "Boss, add another bowl."

"I want to go to the county or city, but I missed the bus and am waiting here. Where are you going?"

"Are you going to the city or the county first? I just happened to be going to the city. My friend's child did well in the exam and there was a teacher's appreciation banquet."

I don’t know when the teacher appreciation banquet started. Zhao Qin also held it when he was admitted to Beijing University. Many places used it as an excuse to receive some gifts, but when most people in the local area held it, it was purely for celebration, and most of them would Losing money.

At that time, Zhao Qin heard his mother-in-law settle the accounts and lost about [-] yuan.

It's not that you can spend much on the banquet, it's mainly on the return gifts, and some of the gifts are not worth the value of the return gifts.

"I have to go to the county first..."

"It's okay. I'll send it to you first. There's no way around it."

After Chen Dong said that, the noodles were brought over, and the two of them stopped talking and started eating.

After the meal, the two got into the car. Chen Dong took a pack of cigarettes from the center console and put it to him. "A friend brought this. You try it. I can smoke it."

Zhao Qin took a look and saw that it was Wuye Shen. He had never heard of this cigarette before, and it did not seem to be a local cigarette. He looked closely at the name of the factory and found that it was a cigarette from Meizhou, Guangdong. He opened it and took a puff. It was not bad.

"My friend said this smoke can aphrodisiac."

"Hahaha, everything is related to aphrodisiac."

Chen Dong also smiled. He also didn't believe this statement.

"You should go to the county to get a boat license, right? What are you going to do in the city?"

"I cracked a lot of oysters yesterday. I was lucky enough to dig out a few oyster beads. I want to see if the jewelry store in the city will accept them?"

There was no surprise on Chen Dong's face. Instead, he shook his head and said, "You'll probably have wasted your trip. That thing is indeed rare, but it's not valuable at all. I've seen it before. It's like rice grains, shapeless and with poor gloss.

If you have Melo Beads, I know someone who will definitely charge you a high price. "

Melo pearls are pearls that live in coconut snails. They generally have good shape and luster, and are orange and extremely beautiful.

"What about the big one?"

"How big?"

"More than one centimeter, and very round."

When Chen Dong heard what he said, he opened the car and parked on the side of the road, "Keep it on your body, let me see."

Zhao Qin did not hesitate and took out the bag of beads from his pocket. When he was packing them in the morning, he had already thought about it. He must buy a bag when he went to the city today. Putting these in, he almost broke the thread in his trouser pocket.

"I'm going to tell you a few pills. Why are there so many?"
