Chapter 84 Beautiful Jellyfish

"Xiao Wan, are you going to the sea?"

"Xiao Wan, can I help you carry this bucket?"

"Xiao Wan, if you don't know anything, come and ask me and I'll teach you."

"Xiao Wan..."

Jiang Wan felt an unprecedented enthusiasm when she went to the sea today.

Mainly, many people came to her house to buy bricks for building the wall. Everyone knew her and knew that she was the daughter of Doctor Yin and the niece of Master Yin.

So when we meet now, we will take the initiative to say hello and talk to her.

Qin Yue, who was following behind Jiang Wan, was also greeted warmly, and was very surprised.

"Xiao Wan, why are they so nice to you?"

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.

"Because my uncle is the village teacher, and because my mother is the village doctor."

"Wow! Your uncle and your mother are so awesome!"

Qin Yue slapped his head.

"Yes, you said before that your family was exiled here. You must have had a good family background in the past."

Masters and doctors are treasures no matter which village they are in, just like the village where she came from.

Because my father had become successful, the villagers began to attach importance to education and spent a lot of money to hire a scholar to teach the children in the village.

The villagers respected him very much and would give him various gifts during festivals.

No wonder those aunties all smiled brightly when they saw Xiaowan just now.

Qin Yue was uninterested and didn't ask the reason why Jiang Wan's family was exiled. She just admired the scenery in the village.

It took them a long time to reach the beach in the east.

Jiang Wan saw Grandma Lian Yue here, and took the initiative to greet her before taking Qin Yue to find a place to catch clams.

She handed Qin Yue a thin, straight twig, asked her to pick up some dough and put it on the twig, and gave her a small shovel.

"Take this shovel and look for these tiny holes on the beach. Once you find them, shovel away the top layer of sand. If there are flat, round holes underneath, there is a high probability that there are clams inside."

Jiang Wan had already found a clam hole, and she demonstrated as she spoke. She picked up the small branch and poked it directly into the hole. It wasn't poked straight in, because clams drill holes at an angle.

Not long after she took out the twig, a little water pushed out a small ball of sand from the hole, and then a clam as thick as a finger slowly popped out.

Jiang Wan immediately grabbed it and pulled it out.

"This head is not bad."

This razor clam was half the length of her palm. It was not very long, but it was thick and fat.

"This is the razor clam you mentioned..."

Qin Yue reached out and pinched the flesh that the little thing had not yet taken back. The soft and slippery feeling immediately reminded her of bad memories.

"Why does it taste like snail meat from the countryside..."

“Have you ever eaten snail meat?”

"No, no, of course not. I just had a few large snails crawl over me and grab me while I was asleep, and that's what snail meat feels like."

Qin Yue wanted to pull it a few more times, but the clam seemed to sense the danger and retracted its flesh back into its shell.

"Okay, go find some clams with the branches. You can take some home to eat when you get back."

"Okay, okay! Take it back and let my mother taste it!"

Qin Yue excitedly took the branch and ran away.

After a cup of tea...

After one stick of incense...

Qin Yue came back to touch the alkaline noodles for the twelfth time, but she still gained nothing.

"Xiao Wan, why can't I catch several clams even though they have popped out? Also, some holes go to the bottom with just a light poke, and no clams come out even after waiting for a long time."

"You probably found the wrong hole. There are clams inside, not razor clams. If you want clams, you can shovel them out. If you don't want them, just change the hole and keep looking. You just stepped on the centipede and killed it, didn't you react quickly? Why is it so difficult for you to catch a razor clam?"

As Jiang Wan spoke, she grabbed another clam that had popped out of the shell.

Looking at her basket again, it was already half full. Qin Yue was drooling with envy.

"Xiao Wan, I'd better buy it directly from you. I really don't have the talent to grab this thing."

Qin Yue hadn't caught any clams yet and was getting tired of trying. She returned the branch to Jiang Wan and said she wanted to go play in the sea.

Jiang Wan was about to nod when she suddenly remembered the last time she encountered a sea snake. She immediately called Qin Yue, but unexpectedly the guy suddenly started to jog.

"Xiao Wan, there's a big guy here!"

Everyone?!

Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, she dropped her things and ran over. In just a few breaths, she had already thought of various possibilities in her mind, even the great white shark.

I ran over to take a look.

…………

It was just a white, slightly transparent jellyfish.

Jellyfish, also known as jellyfish in modern times, are relatively beautiful plankton among marine organisms.

Jiang Wan eats the most cold jellyfish salad. White jellyfish tastes the most tender and crisp. Yellow and soy sauce-colored jellyfish taste worse.

This stuff is poisonous and needs to be processed before it can be safely eaten.

Jiang Wan likes to eat, but she doesn’t like to clean up.

"This is not a big family at all. It's smaller than my basket."

"I'm comparing it to a clam. Look, isn't it bigger than the clam?"

Jiang Wan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, it's much bigger than a clam. Sister Qin, just look at it and don't touch it with your hands, it will sting you."

If you are bitten by a sea slug, you can get better by applying some medicine if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you will ascend directly.

Jiang Wan's words frightened Qin Yue, and she quickly took a few steps back.

"It looks pretty white, how could it be poisonous?"

"There are countless things in this world that are more poisonous the more beautiful they are. This is nothing."

Jiang Wan trotted over to the nearby area, pulled some dry grass over, tied up the jellyfish and handed it to Qin Yue.

"Well, Sister Qin, this is your first harvest today."

Qin Yue's eyes widened and her fingers were shaking.

"This, this thing is poisonous, what should I do with it?"

"It won't be poisonous if you process it. I'll teach you when we get back. If you really don't want it, you can sell it to my mother to use as medicine."

If Jiang Wan remembered correctly, jellyfish also had great medicinal value.

"Then I'll give it to your mother later."

Qin Yue didn't resist this time. She happily followed Jiang Wan, holding the jellyfish, and continued to watch her catch clams.
