Chapter 126 Sea Cucumber

Baozhu was looking for various conches seriously. Although she was a little fat, her movements were quite agile.

However, there were a lot of people on her side, so Jiang Wan couldn't see her even if she looked up occasionally.

And the four girls were getting farther and farther away.

Jiang Wan knew that her cousin was afraid of walking into the reefs, so she took her cousin a little further away, stepped directly into the sea, and searched along the beach.

"Cousin, I have fish! I have fish!"

Yin Ning was not afraid when walking on the bare beach, and he ran faster than Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was watching from behind and felt very relieved.

A month ago, my cousin could hardly walk with big strides, let alone run. I think I should have contributed to these changes.

Little girls should be happy like this, run when they want to, laugh when they want to.

Jiang Wan chased after them with two Dou Lis on her back. As she ran, the two big Dou Lis on her back would slap her butt, which was very annoying.

I really want to grow up overnight. There are so many physical inconveniences for elementary school students.

"Cousin, I've never seen this fish before. Can I catch it?"

Jiang Wan smiled with relief when she heard this.

My cousin still remembers what she said, don't touch seafood you don't know because there are a lot of poisonous seafood in the ocean.

She leaned over to take a look. It looked a bit like a black sea bream, but its pectoral, pelvic and anal fins were a very beautiful bright yellow.

This is a yellowfin bream.

"It's not poisonous, so take it back. I see its tail is still moving and it's alive."

Yin Ning responded and immediately picked up the fish and put it into the bucket happily.

Although there is not much water in the bucket, it is better than nothing. I should be able to get home if I hold on. Even if I die, it is okay. I can just change the dish at noon.

The two sisters picked up the fish, and when they turned around, they saw a few shrimps jumping in front of them. Yin Ning was afraid to catch them, so Jiang Wan took the initiative.

The two sisters were having a lot of fun surfing, but the beach is a public place after all, and there were a lot of people surfing today, so they were bound to run into some aunties and some men.

It’s okay that Jiang Wan is young, but my cousin felt a little uncomfortable meeting a young guy.

Especially the young guys, who knew what instructions they had from their families, always had to say hello to them before leaving when they saw them, which was awkward yet a little funny.

"Cousin, how about we go back?"

Yin Ning is not used to talking to strangers.

Jiang Wan nodded. She could see that her cousin was uncomfortable. She had done a lot of things today, so it was okay for her to go back.

The two sisters turned around and walked back. When they were almost at the place where they usually chased the sea, they met Lian Yue and Lian Qiao face to face.

One of them was carrying two buckets, and the other was pushing a bamboo raft as they walked towards the sea.

The tide receded too far, so the bamboo rafts parked in the bay had to be pushed out to the sea.

We are all acquaintances, so of course we have to say hello when we meet.

"Brother Lian Yue, Brother Lian Qiao~"

Lian Qiao really liked Jiang Wan, this well-behaved little sister, and walked towards the two of them with his teeth bared.

"Xiao Wan, why are you guys going back so early? The tide is receding, so why don't you bring some things back?"

“I’ve already made a lot!”

Jiang Wan pointed to the bucket her cousin was carrying, which was filled with fish, shrimps, and a bunch of abalone at the bottom.

"You're quite quick, you got so many screwdrivers. We got quite a few today, too."

Lian Qiao was a person who loved to show off, so he immediately took the bucket that Lian Yue was carrying and showed it to the two of them.

The place was full of abalones and there were some black things in the water.

Jiang Wan recognized at a glance that the fat black things inside were sea cucumbers, and they were quite large.

This seems to be a medicinal herb, right?

Lian Qiao saw Jiang Wan looking at the sea cucumber for a few more seconds, so he simply picked up the sea cucumber and showed it to her for a closer look.

This black and ugly thing, which looked like a worm but was as big as a bug, suddenly came over and scared Yin Ning.

Her scream made Lian Qiao tighten his grip unconsciously, and the slippery sea cucumber flew out and headed straight for Yin Ning.

"cousin!"

Yin Ning was so frightened that she wanted to move, but her body seemed to be out of control.

At this time, both hands reached out to grab the sea cucumber.

Although Jiang Wan stretched out her hand first, her hand was shorter than others', and the sea cucumber still fell into Lian Yue's hands.

Lian Yue pinched the sea cucumber and shook it, and the sound became much softer.

"This thing is not dangerous at all. Don't be afraid of it."

As he said this, he lightly kicked Lian Qiao, who came to his senses and quickly apologized to Yin Ning.

Yin Ning waved his hands and said it was okay.

She was just afraid of the insect subconsciously, but now that she saw that thing was caught, she was no longer afraid.

Besides, Lian Qiao didn't mean to scare her, and she didn't want to blame anyone.

"This thing is called sea cucumber. All the medicine shops in the city sell it. If you see it by the sea in the future, pick some up. If you have a lot, you can make some money."

The word "medicinal materials" instantly struck Jiang Wan.

"How much does it cost in the city?"

Lian Qiao frowned and thought for a moment.

"Last month, it was three cents per pound. After processing, it's fifty cents per pound. Xiaowan, your mother knows medicine and can process it and sell it..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"That's right! Xiao Wan, your mother is a doctor. Why should we send these to the pharmacy? Why don't we just send them directly to your home?"

The last time he and his good brother fainted at the door of Jiang Wan's house, it was Jiang Wan's mother who rescued him.

Although I reimbursed the medical expenses later, I cannot forget the kindness. What is a little bit of sea cucumber?

"Brother Yue, don't you think so?"

Lian Yue nodded without thinking, and took the tongs to put the sea cucumber into Yin Ning's bucket. Yin Ning couldn't take it without his cousin's permission, so he changed direction with the bucket.

The sea cucumber fell into the air, and a smile appeared in Lian Yue's eyes. He raised his head and glanced at the girl who was clinging to his cousin.

It was the first time that the two really looked into each other's eyes.

Yin Ning clearly saw the smile in Lian Yue's eyes. Although they were both smiling, he felt that it was different from the men who had greeted him just now...

Jiang Wan smelled something sour on herself and immediately spoke up, ruining the atmosphere.

"Brother Lian Yue, if you guys sell these sea cucumbers, my family will take them all. Even if you give them away for free, my mother won't want them."

Hearing the rejection in the words, Lian Yue was also decisive.

"Okay, then we'll sell them to you. But we still have to go to the dock for a while. You can take these sea cucumbers with you. We'll weigh them and calculate the price when we come back."

This time Jiang Wan agreed, and a total of eight large sea cucumbers were put into Yin Ning's bucket.

This thing really made her scalp tingle every time she looked at it, and she didn't even dare to lower her head to look into the bucket on the way back.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he quickly put the bucket in the stove and immediately left.

Jiang Wan couldn't stop laughing.

"It's just a little ugly, cousin, look how you dislike it."

Yin Ning snorted twice. She was just afraid of insects. It was her nature and she couldn't change it even if she wanted to.

"By the way, cousin, didn't Xiaoman and the others say that these snails can be sold for a good price? Do you want to sell them?"

Jiang Wan shook her head.

There is not enough for our own consumption, why sell it? Now that the family is not short of money, the abalone is of course for the family to eat to supplement their health.

"I won't sell it. The old men in the city like it. These conches must have some benefits. Let's try what the seafood that the old men in the city like tastes like. Cousin, we made it together, half each. Do you want to sell it? If you do, I'll go on the boat with you."

Yin Ning thought about it and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's save it for the family."

There is nothing bad in the seafood that my cousin saves for food. Take it back and comfort dad.

He has annoyed his mother these days and she has ignored him completely. It's so pitiful.
