Fu Laoda shook the bird's nest for a long time but it still didn't fall into the bag. He was so anxious that he tried to pull it off with his hands. As a result, the bird's nest came off the shovel but stuck to his hands and he couldn't get it off.
No, this thing has a 502 attribute, right?
No wonder some people in my past life said that eating bird's nest is like eating glue.
Fu Laoda was sweating profusely with anxiety, and Fu Wan quickly told him to calm down.
"Dad, wait here for me, I'll go downstairs and get something to fill with water."
They took two buckets with them when they disembarked, intending to see if there was anything to pick up on the beach.
When she climbed up, Fu Wan put both buckets on the edge of the cave.
Having scouted the route beforehand, Fu Wan's round trip was extremely fast.
Boss Fu didn't even realize that his daughter was walking on flat ground in the dark cave without any lights. He was just glad that it was his daughter who came out with him.
If it were Fu Ming, the two of them would probably just be staring at each other, their hands stuck together.
However, Boss Fu couldn't help but chuckle whenever he thought of that scene.
Fu Wan brought up a small bucket of water and saw Boss Fu grinning foolishly by himself.
"Dad, what are you doing! You seem so happy!"
How could Fu Laoda tell her this? He could only vaguely say, "I was just thinking that if we harvest all these bird's nests, we'll make a fortune and Dad will be happy!"
Fu Wan wet her hands and rubbed them together. Her hands were wet, but not dripping wet.
Then she carefully touched the bird's nest in Boss Fu's hand along the stuck edge, and in the blink of an eye, she took the bird's nest off and put it into the bag.
"Hey, that's amazing!"
Looking at his empty hands, Boss Fu rubbed them with water a couple of times.
"Wan, you're so clever! How could you think of that!"
Fu Wan smiled, "There's no one else here right now."
"I learned this when I worked in a bird's nest shop in my past life. I remember it was something like getting some water on it to remove it."
Old Master Fu stopped laughing. He had witnessed most of the suffering Fu Wan had endured in her past life, and now, seeing his daughter beaming with joy, he couldn't help but feel grateful for God's mercy.
If it weren't for God's mercy, how could he have been given a second chance, and be able to enjoy the good days of having his children and a happy family reunion?
Fu Wan wet her hands and then went to take another bird's nest. Sure enough, she took it down quickly, but it was too difficult. If she used too much force, she was afraid she would break the bird's nest into several pieces.
Boss Fu still wanted to use a shovel. He thought for a few seconds, then put the shovel in the bucket and dipped it in water. Then he held the bag in one hand and the shovel in the other.
With a single scoop, the bird's nest fell perfectly into the bag without sticking to the scoop.
"Dad, that's a great idea! You're so clever!"
Fu Wan gave a thumbs up, while Boss Fu waved his hand modestly, "That's because you remembered to use water. You're smart too."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the father and daughter lowered their heads and began quickly harvesting the bird's nests.
Fu Wan dipped a knife in water and then slid it down along the edge of the bird's nest, and a flawless bird's nest fell directly into the bag.
Fu Laoda continued using the shovel, and the two of them became more and more skilled as they worked. In no time, their bags were bulging and filled to more than half full.
"Oh dear, my old bones are really no good anymore. Just removing a small spot has caused my back to hurt."
Boss Fu rubbed his back, but he lost his grip on the shovel and it fell to the side, accidentally splitting a bird's nest in two.
"Oh!"
Now that Fu Laoda's back pain was gone, he felt a pang of regret, realizing that this had cost him at least several dollars!
Fu Wan had been quietly harvesting bird's nests, and only turned around to look when she heard Fu Laoda's commotion.
"It's alright, we'll take it back and eat it ourselves. Mother can eat it too."
Fu Laoda had suffered his whole life, but he also understood his wife.
"If your mother knew how expensive this thing was, she would definitely scold me."
Fu Wan smiled and said, "Then we won't tell her. We'll just steam it when we get home and serve it out. She'll never know it was cut badly."
Fu Laoda laughed, "Your mother will complain again that you gave her rice porridge that had been covered in dust."
Fu Wan was a very well-behaved child. When she was just over five or six years old, she knew to help with chores at home. Once, when the family was steaming rice, the little girl couldn't bear to drink the rice water alone and secretly saved it for her mother.
As a result, because of the hot weather, when Ye Xiaocui returned at noon, the rice soup had turned sour and bubbly, like paste.
Ye Xiaocui couldn't bear to refuse Fu Wan's kindness, so she insisted on taking a sip. As a result, she had diarrhea for half the night and was teased by Boss Fu from time to time afterwards.
A daughter's love can sometimes be too heavy.
The two chatted and laughed, and Boss Fu no longer felt bad. He cut off the remaining piece of the bird's nest and then went back to work.
There are indeed a lot of bird's nests, and many of them contain baby birds and eggs.
Both Boss Fu and Fu Wan were very ethical and skipped over the rest, only picking the empty bird's nests.
"Father, there are so many swiftlets here, it must be a very large flock of birds."
If the bird's nest sells well, we'll come once or twice a year, and if we keep doing this, this will become our family's real secret base.
Fu Laoda squinted at the countless swallow nests on the surrounding cliffs, and the swiftlets that flew back and forth through the hole above his head from time to time.
The excitement in my heart was beyond words.
"Our family is really going to get rich!"
"When I get back, I'll find your third uncle and ask him to find out where they buy this stuff."
Fu Wan nodded. When she sold oyster beads before, it was Fu San who made the connection. Fu San was indeed a trustworthy person.
Meanwhile, on the dock, Fu San was pacing back and forth.
Why haven't his older brother and niece come back yet?
Xue Qing's boat had already docked. When Jiu Jingxiong was carried off the boat by the people on board, the villagers who were watching the commotion were all frightened.
Hearing the villagers who had escaped from the sea describe how terrifying the great white shark was, Ye Xiaocui, Fu Ming, and Fu Sanxin were all on edge.
"Third Uncle, I believe my sister and my father. They must have something to do and will be back later."
Fu Ming stood to one side, his face feigning ease, but his eyes were fixed on the sea.
It felt as if their own ship would appear on the sea at any moment.
Fu San also believed in the luck of the Fu family. "I'll wait here with you. I reckon your father and the others have found some good fish. Xue Qing is too busy to deal with this right now. I'll just wait for your father to arrive and then we'll go get the fish!"
Fu Ming knew that Fu San was worried about his family, so he didn't say much, and the two of them stood at the dock waiting.
Fu Laoda and Fu Wan were completely unaware of what was happening at the dock. The two of them picked two snakeskin bags, and the bird's nests next to them were almost all harvested.
For those higher up, you'd have to climb the cliff face to pick them.
