Chapter 11 Prying Oysters



The third son, Song Chengxin, had a rather comical expression...

As if worried that her younger sister Wen Shishi would cry, she immediately raised both hands to distance herself from the situation, "It wasn't me!"

You all saw that, right? I just gave it a light tap.

Unexpectedly, the little one, who had been pulled aside, immediately broke free from his fourth brother Song Chengliang's hand and ran over with his tiny arms and legs...

With her fair, delicate hands, she pinched the soft oyster meat between her thumb and forefinger and put it into her family's small wooden bucket.

Turning back to his brothers, he said, "Oyster meat!"

The Song brothers stared wide-eyed, especially the third brother, Song Chengxin, who had just thrown a stone at his sister. He bent down and asked her earnestly, "Sister, is this also oyster meat?"

Wen Shishi nodded vigorously, revealing several layers of soft flesh under her chin.

Tenth Brother Song Chengxin couldn't resist and gently stroked the flesh on Wen Shishi's neck, finding it incredibly smooth to the touch...

She pinched each of her cheeks again.

Seeing the tenth brother's satisfied expression, the ninth brother became restless...

Finally, he was stopped by a casual glance from his older brother.

The eldest and third brothers took two steps closer, removed the stones from the oyster shells, and squatted down to examine them...

The surface of the object that Wen Shishi had just ripped out was indeed very smooth...

The older brother had long, slender fingers and was trying to pry the thing out of the reef...

"Big brother, I'll do it..."

The fourth brother, Song Chengliang, practiced martial arts for many years and was the strongest among the tenth brother.

The eldest brother and the third brother gave up their seats.

The fourth brother found the right angle, located the right points of leverage with both hands, and twisted it forcefully...

The entire oyster shell, along with some rocks, was pulled out.

Thinking back to how Xiaobao's mother described the oysters...

The Song brothers had even more faith in Wen Shishi's judgment.

Just then, Xiao Bao's mother returned with Xiao Bao.

With a smile on his face, he grabbed three oysters from his own bucket and prepared to put them into the Song family's bucket...

He said, "There are lots of oysters over there, I caught almost half a bucket, here are two or three for you guys to try..."

From now on, use this as a guide when searching.

But just as he bent down to place the oysters into the wooden bucket in front of Wen Shishi...

They found a small clump of software inside.

There were concerns that the Song family might not recognize seafood, and if they happened to Xiaobao that day and caught something poisonous, and accidentally ingested it, the consequences would be dire...

So, upon scooping it up and taking a look, a look of astonishment instantly appeared on his face: "Oyster...meat?"

The third brother, Song Chengxin, looked delighted and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, are you sure this is oyster meat?"

Xiao Bao's mother carefully examined the area, and after confirming it was indeed oysters, she nodded and asked, "I clearly didn't see any oysters in this area just now..."

Where did you find it?

Song Chengliang showed her the oyster shell with the rocks attached, and then pointed to the rocks next to him...

Xiao Bao's mother went forward to check and looked surprised.

Just then, Wen Shishi's fair little feet stepped through the soft mud again, and her little index finger pointed to a spot on the reef...

He shouted at the three Song Chengxins, "Smash it!"

Old Ten walked over, worried that a rock might hit Wen Shishi, or that a flying reef might injure her...

He then picked up Wen Shishi and looked at her.

Song Chengxin pointed to the spot Wen Shishi had just pointed to, and looked at her with a smile, "Is this it? Third Brother really messed it up!"

Having said that, he picked up the stone he had just used, but controlled his strength, gently tapping it a few times until the watch case shattered...

Without Wen Shishi having to come down and do anything, he picked up the exposed soft flesh himself and showed it to Xiao Bao's mother, "Sister-in-law, can you help me take a look? Is it oyster meat?"

Only after receiving a definite answer from Xiaobao's mother did she put it into her own wooden bucket.

Wen Shishi had already pointed out two places, and Song Chenghou had roughly discovered the pattern. Without Wen Shishi pointing them out one by one, Song Chenghou pointed them out himself...

Song Chengxin and his elder brother worked together to smash the entire surface of the reef and retrieved a lot of oyster meat.

Xiao Bao's mother was amazed. Looking around, she saw many such rocks on the beach, especially a patch of them not far away...

Because it's difficult to find a place to settle down, and the terrain here is open, they usually go to the beach here and rarely venture into that other area...

After smashing the rock, the Song brothers moved to the nearby rock.

Song Chenghou also reminded her, "Sister-in-law, is your house big enough? There are still some rocks over there, you can smash them together!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao's mother realized that the Song brothers had no intention of keeping their discovery a secret. If they hadn't spoken up, she really wouldn't have dared to join in the smashing...

Looking at the half-full bucket of oysters in the wooden tub, I realized that once you pry it open, there wasn't much meat...

They readily walked to the side, and not far away, a fisherwoman was digging for clams and fish in the mud. Someone was looking at them...

They probably found their actions of smashing stones strange and ridiculous...

Xiao Bao's mother tentatively asked, "Brother Song, may I tell other women how to crack oysters off the rocks?"

Xiao Bao's mother's eyes were full of sincerity as she glanced at the women who had been bending over and picking for half an hour without filling the wooden bucket.

The Song brothers all smiled. Song Chenghou looked at his younger brothers and walked over to Wen Shishi, who was being held by the tenth brother.

Song Chenghou asked softly, "Little sister, you're the one who discovered this method of cracking oysters on the rocks. Would you be willing to tell the other aunts, brothers, and sisters?"

Wen Shishi seemed to understand, but still answered decisively, "Okay!"
