"So red-eyed crabs are poisonous! No wonder I had to run to the toilet so many times after eating them last time!"
After listening, Fu Liang suddenly realized that he had been suffering from diarrhea for a while and his legs were shaking. He had wondered if the cornbread had gone bad, or if the wild vegetables in the cornbread were poisonous, but he never expected that the culprit was the red-eyed crab that his mother had caught!
People in the Fujia Village area all eat red-eyed crabs, and even Fu San Na buys red-eyed crabs, and the price is about the same as that of blue crabs.
This thing is full of roe and yellow, and it's incredibly delicious. Because it has never been poisoned to death, no one has ever realized that it's poisonous.
"Yes, the symptom of red-eyed crab poisoning is diarrhea."
"Brother Liang, you were infected earlier?"
Fu Wan looked at Fu Liang in surprise, and Fu Liang nodded shyly.
“Hey, my mom caught three at the beach a few days ago. They looked pretty plump, so I didn’t sell them. I just steamed them.”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and patted his chest in lingering fear.
"Luckily, your sister-in-law refused to eat the crabs that day because she thought they were too fishy. Otherwise, she would have been in big trouble!"
Wang Huiping is pregnant; if she eats this, something terrible will definitely happen!
Fu Wan was also shocked to hear this. "You should be more careful about what you give your sister-in-law to eat next time. This is no joke."
Fu Liang nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I won't dare to do it again."
That day, he was thinking that there were only three crabs, and his family wasn't short of money, so he thought he would steam them to supplement Wang Huiping's nutrition.
Fortunately, Wang Huiping didn't eat it because she thought it was too fishy. In the end, he ate two fish, Jiang Chunlan ate one, and Wang Huiping drank some fish soup and ate some fish meat.
"Wait a minute, why wasn't my mother poisoned that day?"
Fu Liang was completely baffled. He and Jiang Chunlan had both eaten red-eyed crabs, so why was he the only one who had to go to the toilet eight times that night?
If Jiang Chunlan had also had diarrhea, he wouldn't have only found out today that the culprit was this red-eyed crab!
"Brother Liang, you forgot what I said: the red-eyed crab itself is not poisonous; it's the algae and snails it eats that are poisonous."
My aunt didn't have diarrhea; it's probably because the crab she ate just happened to be free of any poisonous food.
In short, Fu Liang was unlucky; the red-eyed crab he ate happened to have ingested poisonous algae or snails, which is why he got infected.
"Haha, Liang, you'd better watch your step! You're so unlucky, you even got food poisoning from eating crab!"
Fu Ming understood Fu Wan's explanation and immediately grinned from ear to ear.
Upon hearing this, Fu Liang touched his nose and his gaze fell on the crab bucket next to Jack.
"Should we still keep this crab?"
"That depends on whether Jack and his crew want to take a gamble!"
Fu Wan looked to the side, and Jack, Robert, and the other two shook their heads and gestured without hesitation.
"No, no, no!"
What a joke! They have no desire to experience the feeling of having to go to the toilet eight times in one night after getting crab poisoning!
Fu Ming looked regretful upon hearing this. What a pity! He wanted to bet with Fu Liang whether the crab was poisonous or not!
"Then let it go!"
"Okay, okay, I'll let it go!"
Upon hearing this, Jack hurriedly picked up the iron tongs on the ground and tried to grab the crab, but the crab nimbly dodged, and Jack missed.
"Fuck!"
Jack cursed under his breath. Seeing this, Fu Ming picked up his iron tongs and stepped forward, decisively attacking the red-eyed crab. He then forcefully flung the crab he had caught toward the sea.
Hey, let's go!
Whether these crabs can escape the oncoming tide of beachcombers depends on their fate!
After throwing away the red-eyed crabs, everyone took stock of the seafood again.
The blue crabs, stone crabs, red-shelled crabs, and red-shelled crabs all came together in a large bucket, along with half a bucket of octopus, which probably weighed around ten pounds.
The bucket was filled with a variety of shellfish, including scallops, whelks, and abalone, and then the sea urchins were added on top, making it a full bucket.
"There are six buckets in total. What do you say, shall we take them back?"
Fu Ming was a little troubled. This thing wasn't particularly heavy, but if he had a carrying pole, it would be easier to carry it back.
"I didn't bring anything else with me, so I had to take it all back!"
Fu Wan was washing the mud off her legs in the nearby ditch when she suddenly heard a few familiar dog barks from not far away.
Fu Wan and the others looked up and were overjoyed when they saw who it was.
"father!"
The person who arrived was none other than Boss Fu, followed by Big Yellow, who kept wagging its tail.
"Haha, I knew you'd be back soon. The cart at home was taken away by the construction workers, so I brought the wheelbarrow. Hurry up and bring the seafood up!"
Old Master Fu waved his hand. He had gone to the outhouse in the morning and figured the children should have finished their beachcombing, so he came running over with his wheelbarrow.
The children must be exhausted after playing at the beach for so long, so we can't let them take all the seafood back with them!
"Let me see, wow, this abalone is a good size, and the scallops are quite plump too."
Boss Fu picked up two blue crabs and nodded in satisfaction.
"The mud crabs are so plump at this time of year. Look, the roe is overflowing."
He loves these plump blue crabs with their tops on, they're so satisfying to eat!
"Uncle, this is what we caught!"
Robert, Jack, and Tom proudly took credit, and Boss Fu gave them a thumbs up, saying, "These three foreigners are pretty quick at learning how to catch seafood!"
"Woof!"
Just as Boss Fu and his men were about to pour the seafood evenly onto the wheelbarrow, Big Yellow barked again.
Then, with a splash, it jumped into the mudflats. Fu Wan couldn't stop it in time. In an instant, Da Huang transformed from a clean-haired yellow dog into a mud-covered mongrel.
"Big Yellow! You're done for! Covered in mud, wait till we get back and see how my mother deals with you!"
Fu Ming shouted at Da Huang, "Covered in mud like this, Ye Xiaocui wouldn't let it into the house if we went back."
"Woof!"
Big Yellow barked at them again. At this moment, Fu Wan realized that something was wrong, so she quickly grabbed a pair of pliers and stepped forward.
"I'll go check; Big Yellow might have found something."
This dog, Dahuang, is different from ordinary dogs; it can always keenly detect the movements around it.
Its intelligence is comparable to Wangcai's, but Wangcai is a homebody dog who doesn't like to go out and play, while Dahuang is ambitious and only comes home to eat and sleep at night, except when it goes out to sea.
"Woof woof woof!"
As Fu Wan approached, Da Huang barked even more excitedly, and after barking, it turned around and darted back into the water.
"Hey, watch out for the waves!"
Fu Wan couldn't figure out Da Huang's intentions for a while; she could only see the creature bobbing up and down in the shallow water, about four or five meters from the shore.
Fu Ming and Robert and the others also ran over at this time. They, too, couldn't understand what Da Huang was doing.
Is that dog performing a swimming demonstration?
Tom asked, puzzled.
Fu Wan shook her head. Just then, Da Huang, who was in the water, barked again.
"Woof!"
Just then, the giant yellow dog in the sea suddenly changed direction and began swimming rapidly toward Fu Wan at top speed.
Fu Wan narrowed her eyes, and after seeing clearly what was chasing after Da Huang, she hurriedly snatched the harpoon from Fu Liang's hand and went to meet it.
