Chapter 51: The best
"Fool!" Li Changle patted him, looked around the stone, and found that it was not connected to other rocks. He said happily, "There is still hope. Let's try to open the stone."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei quickly put down the pliers in his hands and stood next to him.
Li Changle pointed to the lower position in front, "I'll shout one, two, three, and we'll push it to that position together."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei agreed happily after seeing it.
The two of them made preparations and pushed the stone forward at the same time. To their delight, the stone moved.
Li Changle held onto the stone and shouted at him: "One, two, push harder!"
The two of them pushed it out with force at the same time. With a "pop", the stone overturned in the puddle in front, revealing a puddle of water. Not even the shadow of the blue crab could be seen.
"Brother, they must be in the water. I'll dig them out."
.......
"Okay!" Li Changle nodded in agreement, thinking that the blue crab was soft and limp after shedding its shell, and that the pair of large pincers had lost its power.
Chen Yongwei squatted down and groped in the water, and touched something soft, "Brother, I touched it."
Li Changle hurriedly said: "Catch it quickly and see if it's big?"
"Hey!" Chen Yongwei held up a big blue crab with crab claws that were fatter than a chicken leg and twice as big as his hand, with large, soft claws.
"Come out! This is only a male."
"Excellent! At least two pounds, grab the other one quickly."
Li Changle took it with gleaming eyes, and saw that after shedding the olive-colored hard shell, the blue crab showed a layer of mottled and soft skin, which was as smooth as oil paper to the touch.
He looked at the limp soft-shell crab and wondered if the claws of the crab would fall off if it was so limp.
Thinking about it, I might as well take out the hemp rope and tie it up gently. If one of the crab claws falls off, the price difference will be huge!
"Brother, I caught its wife." Chen Yongwei held up a green crab that was at least a lot smaller than the one just now.
Chen Yongwei held up a soft-shell crab and said, "This guy definitely doesn't care about his wife, otherwise his wife wouldn't be so much smaller than him."
"My wife has to be petite and petite. Is it possible that you want to find someone with big muscles and a round waist?"
"I think it's good to be big, so you don't have to ask for help when moving things."
"I'll go! Are you looking for a brother or a wife?"
"Brother, wife!" Chen Yongwei said with a naive smile, "Brother, you have to sell this thing before its shell hardens and becomes valuable. As time goes by, the price will be at least several times different as the shell hardens."
Li Changle thought that it would be lunch time in a while, but there were no buses or boats to the pier to go to the Tuxia Bridge, so he might as well go back the way he came and borrow Ah Qing's bicycle.
Thinking of this, he realized that he still had to earn money to buy a bicycle.
After all, bicycles are still big pieces of furniture these days. Even if it's an uncle or brother, it's okay to borrow them once or twice. He often borrows other people's bicycles, and even if they are willing, he himself doesn't have the nerve to do so.
"Pack up my things and go home. I'll borrow A-Qing's bicycle to go to the Phoenix Restaurant. If they don't accept it, I'll go to A-Dong's house."
"Brother, go ahead, I'll be right here." Chen Yongwei put the tied blue crabs into a net bag. "There should be some catches in this puddle. You go back first and I'll fish for a while."
"Okay, I'll come back to you after I sell the goods." Li Changle picked up the bucket, "I took the big rattle snail back, a few squid to give to A Kun, and the yellow-fin fish to sell, and the flower clams.
I’ll sell Adong’s house later.”
"Yeah!" Chen Yongwei waved his hand, "Hurry up, the shell will harden later."
Li Changle nodded, walked a few steps and then turned back and asked, "Do you know how much a pound of soft-shell crabs sell for?"
Chen Yongwei thought for a moment, "I was at A Dong's house last year, and I heard him say that he charged three yuan a pound?"
"Not bad, three yuan a pound is twice the price of blue crabs!" Li Changle strode away.
Worried that the crab shell would harden, he hurried home as quickly as possible.
When he saw the fiery clouds on the horizon, emitting red and blue, gorgeous and magnificent light, he couldn't help but sigh and secretly prayed that the wind force of this typhoon would not be strong and that it would not land here.
Because some time before a typhoon strikes, at sunset, several beautiful radiating red and blue lights often emit under the western horizon, shoot to the zenith and then converge in the east where they are symmetrical with the sun.
He remembered watching TV before and said that this phenomenon is called "reverse twilight. The redder the color, the richer the typhoon's water vapor and the more destructive it is."
Thinking that my father would be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow, I prayed that the typhoon would land later and wait until he brought people back to come again.
After thinking about it, I arrived in front of the cave. After walking out of the cave, it was much faster to go down the mountain. There were two steps and one step, and it didn't take long to reach the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, there were several men taking a shower next to the well. Agen next door stretched his neck to look at the bucket in his hand, "Ale, what good stuff did you get again?"
"A yellow-finned fish!" Li Changle said as he strode home.
"His luck is so good!" Agen said to himself, "Isn't it time to go to the Master's Palace to pay homage?"
Li Changle ignored him and walked home alone.
Li Xiaohai was skipping rope with his cousin in the yard. When Li Xiaozhou saw that he was back, he stopped skipping rope.
He pushed the rope into Li Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Sister, come here, my dad is back from sea fishing."
"So fast!" Li Xiaoqing turned around and saw Li Changle, dropped the rope and ran with Li Xiaohai, "Let's go see what Uncle San has found?"
Over there, Li Changle was already walking back, being hugged by his two sons.
Li Xiaozhou looked at the yellow-finned fish in the bucket and said, "Dad, why does the tail fin of this fish have two colors? The yellow underneath is so beautiful!"
"It's called yellow-finned fish... This fish can be sold for more than ten yuan."
The two brothers nodded happily, and Li Xiaozhou said sweetly: "It's so lucky for me to be able to pick up such a big fish!"
"Abba also picked up a big rattle snail and asked your mother to fry the snail meat and eat it, and give you the shell to play with."
The two kids looked at him in surprise, "Really? Let me see."
Li Changle smiled and nodded, "We'll see when we get home."
"Yeah!" Li Xiaohai looked at the basket he was carrying, "Abba, are you here specifically to sell this fish? Why didn't Uncle Awei come back with you?"
"Boss is good, he observes very carefully!" Li Changle whispered, "Uncle Awei was fishing on the reef beach, because we also got two good ones, we will show them to you when we get home."
"Oh!" The two brothers nodded smartly, without asking what kind of good product it was.
Li Changle looked at his two sons and thought of his father in his previous life. His mother-in-law said that his greatest blessing was to ask Anan to be his wife.
Regardless of his past life or this life, he felt that he was right because only his family, Nan, could teach such a sensible and obedient child.
Li Xiaoqing and others also ran up to him, "Uncle Third, what good stuff did you find?"
