Chapter 148 Sea Hare, Yellow Croaker, and Abalone

As soon as she arrived at the first white spot, she saw some seafood in the puddle and quickly picked it up to examine it. "It's actually sea slugs. There are quite a few of them. Everyone, hurry up and pick them up."

As Song Chuhuai picked it up, he said, "Sea hare? Is it a rabbit from the sea? This doesn't look like a rabbit."

Song Chuman explained: "Look, it has two pairs of tentacles on its head. The shape of these two pairs of tentacles is very similar to rabbit ears, so it is called a sea hare."

In the past, scientists also extracted anti-cancer drugs from sea slugs, which have great medical value.

Song Chuhuai and He Xiaoshuang nodded at the same time and continued picking up the trash with great effort.

He Xiaoshuang was very excited. This was the first time she found so many seafood at the beach.

In the past, when she and her mother came back quietly, they would be asked by the Song family to go fishing, but they could basically only find a few clams or octopuses.

After picking up all the sea slugs, Song Chuman went to the second white spot.

This time it was still a puddle.

He Xiaoshuang saw the fish in the puddle and said excitedly: "Cousin, fish, such big fish."

Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. Her cousin became more and more cheerful.

Song Chuhuai quickly caught the fish and threw it into the wooden barrel.

Song Chuman said, "This is yellow croaker, which can be used as medicine. It tastes sweet, slightly salty, and warm in nature. It can replenish qi and kidney, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. It has a very good auxiliary therapeutic effect on spleen deficiency, weak stomach, loss of appetite, insomnia, forgetfulness, and delaying aging."

He Xiaoshuang said with admiration: "Cousin, you know so much. Fish can actually cure diseases."

Song Chuman continued to pick up the pieces and said with a smile, "It's nothing. If you follow me and listen and learn more, you will understand."

"Um."

The three of them continued picking up fish together until they had picked up all the yellow croakers in the surrounding puddles and put them into the wooden barrel.

Song Chuman counted them and raised her eyebrows, saying, "There are actually ten of them, each weighing one jin. Not bad, not bad."

After saying that, she went to another white spot.

This time it's still on the stone.

Seeing the seafood lying on the rock, Song Chuman said in surprise: "Abalone, my favorite abalone, I finally found it."

After saying that, she pried a small abalone off the stone.

Song Chuhuai rarely saw abalone, so she asked, "Sister, are abalones valuable?"

Song Chuman's eyes lit up. "It's valuable. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is. But the one I have is probably only worth three or four taels. I can only sell it for seventy or eighty coins at most. The bigger ones are even more valuable."

Seventy or eighty cents each!

Song Chuhuai and He Xiaoshuang were suddenly shocked.

It’s so small, but it’s only worth seventy or eighty cents?

Song Chuman continued, "And after turning abalone into dried goods, they can also be sold to inland areas. People in those areas really like abalone, and the price can even be increased dozens of times."

The two looked at each other in astonishment again.

If they could increase the price by dozens of times, then if they could find more abalone to sell, their family would become rich overnight.

At this moment, Song Chuman saw someone walking towards them from a distance, and her expression suddenly changed. "Hurry up and pry off all the abalone, quickly."

The two nodded and pried it open quickly.

Just as they finished prying the abalone off the reef, the two men walked up to them.

Huang Dafu came forward to take a look at their wooden barrel. When he saw what was inside, he was surprised and said, "Abalone? You actually found abalone? We haven't found abalone in our village for several years."

Song Chuman snorted: "So what if I find it?"

After saying that, without waiting for Huang Dafu to answer, she pulled her brother and cousin and walked in another direction.
