Fu Wan was amused by the voice she had given the falcon in her mind, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Fu Ling looked at her mother with a puzzled expression. "I don't know either, and I don't dare to ask."
She just suddenly became like that.
Before Fu Wan could finish celebrating, Ye Xiaocui called out to her, "Wan, do you still want those coconut snails?"
Oh right, I also picked up a coconut snail!
Fu Wan put the mantis shrimp she was carrying aside and turned to look for her coconut snails.
This coconut snail is huge; Fu Ling hasn't seen such a big snail in a long time.
After Fu Wan washed it clean and brought it over, she pulled Qin Mingzhu over.
"Mom, can we give this coconut snail shell to Mingzhu?"
Last time, Fu Wan picked up two coconut snails. Fu Ling kept one shell for herself and gave the other to Fu Honghong next door.
She didn't know Qin Mingzhu at that time.
Influenced by Fu Ling, Qin Mingzhu also enjoys collecting pretty snail shells, and this coconut snail shell is one she has always wanted.
"Okay, let me dig out the snail meat, wash it clean, and then give it to Mingzhu."
This snail meat is just right; I can cut it up and eat it for lunch.
Without further ado, Fu Wan took a small knife from Ye Xiaocui and carefully dug out the snail meat from the coconut snail.
These coconut snails must have been washed ashore by the waves last night after the rain. Fu Wan removed the thick snail meat and then washed the shell clean.
No wonder Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu both liked the shell of this coconut snail; it really is quite beautiful.
The yellowish-brown shell has several brownish spots, and the huge opening can be placed next to your ear, where you can hear the sound of the sea breeze.
The opening is really big; the snail shell is bigger than the faces of these two children when it's lifted up.
Fu Wan handed the cleaned snail shells to Qin Mingzhu, who was overjoyed.
"Thank you, godmother!"
"No need to thank me, Liang, go have fun. Just don't go to the mudflats, or you'll get covered in mud."
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu happily agreed, and then happily walked away, holding the snail shells.
The reason for saying "walking" is because a red hawk is following behind, taking small steps and hopping and jumping to catch up.
The bizarre scene of two people and a bird made not only Fu Wan, but also Ye Xiaocui and the others laugh.
"Ah Wan, should we slice the snail meat or shred it?"
Fu Wan thought for a moment, "Let's slice it!"
The snail meat must weigh at least three or four pounds. Even after removing the kidneys and other inedible parts, it should still weigh around two pounds.
Slice them and stir-fry them in a stainless steel pan; they'll definitely taste great.
Ye Xiaocui readily agreed, "Then cut off the part that can't be eaten and use it to fish for your father later."
"Okay!"
She took out a small knife and carefully cut along the snail's kidney. The next second, she felt something was wrong. The snail meat she was holding felt hard and the texture was off.
Could the snail meat be spoiled?
Wait a minute, she just saw the snail meat moving!
Never mind, let's cut it open and see.
Fu Wan cut off the snail's kidney part and then carefully cut along the hard part.
She carefully controlled the force when she made the cut, so that only a shallow cut was made in the snail meat.
"Ah Wan, what are you doing? Do you want me to cut it?"
Fu Ming was cleaning the sea bass when he saw how carefully Fu Wan was handling it, so he thought he might as well take it and cut it up himself.
Fu Wan shook her head, then pried the snail meat open along the seam, revealing the round, bulging thing inside.
Heavens above, Goddess Mazu, could it really be what she's thinking?!
Fu Wan suppressed her excitement, her hands trembling slightly as she tore open the snail meat on the thing, then touched it and forcefully pried it out.
"Holy crap!"
Fu Ming, who was watching, felt that his young heart had been hurt a thousand times. What? There was actually a bead inside the coconut snail?
These look a million times better than the previous oyster pearls and abalone pearls.
"Ah Wan, there are pearls inside these coconut snails?!"
"Yes, this is Melaleuca!"
Fu Wan was grinning from ear to ear. Haha, she had finally found the legendary Melo Pearl!
Influenced by news reports about Melo Pearls on television in her previous life, ever since her rebirth, she has been thinking about when she could personally extract a Melo Pearl from a coconut snail. The first two times she specially picked up two large coconut snails, she couldn't open them.
I never expected that this thing I just picked up randomly would actually open a box!
Moreover, these Melo Pearls are as big as wild eggs, and their entire body is a bright orange-red color. If you look closely, you can see irregular flame patterns on them.
No wonder this thing is also known as the Flame Bead.
You should know that the oyster beads and abalone beads she had before were mostly irregularly shaped, but the Melo bead in her hand was perfectly round, as if it had been made with a mold.
This is the most precious pearl in the world, and even with the advanced aquaculture industry of later generations, it is impossible to cultivate it.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan went to the boat to get cooking utensils, while Fu Liang and Boss Fu went to check if there was any catch in the fish traps to have as a snack for lunch.
As for Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, they were squatting under the tree playing with seashells.
It could be said that, apart from Fu Wan and Fu Ming, there was no one else around.
While Fu Ming was happy, he was also somewhat worried.
"Ah Wan, quickly put this bead away, and I'll pretend I didn't see it."
These Melo pearls look much more expensive than oyster pearls or abalone pearls; the fewer people who know this, the better.
It's not that I'm afraid they'll have any other ideas, it's just that if everyone finds out and lets it slip one day, it might cause trouble for Fu Wan.
Looking at Fu Ming's serious face, Fu Wan felt a little touched.
"Okay, I'll put it away right now."
Fu Ming nodded, "Put it away. We're not short of money now. Keep it as a treasured keepsake for my niece in the future."
Fu Wan was surprised that Fu Ming had the same idea as her. The Melo Pearl was a rare find, and she had never intended to sell it in the first place.
In later generations, Melo beads were extremely valuable, especially those that were rounder. The one in Fu Wan's hand should be a top-grade Melo bead.
Fu Ming watched as Fu Wan put away the Melo Pearls, and then calmly began to cut the snail meat beside her.
"Wan, why aren't you excited at all?"
Fu Wan was bewildered. "This is too exciting. What am I going to say when my mother and the others ask me about it?"
These words made Fu Ming feel a lump in his throat. Fine, so he could only secretly be excited after all.
However, if he could find one, it would be nice to give it to his future wife!
"Ah Wan, where did you find these coconut snails?"
Fu Wan pointed to the rocks not far away, "I found this by the rocks when I was digging for mantis shrimp. I thought it was a big rock at first..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Ming put down what he was holding and turned to run in that direction.
"I'll go try my luck too!"
Well, it looks like her brother will be searching for coconut snails for quite a while. He's in the same state as I was when I was first reborn.
Once you open a few coconut snails that only have snail meat, they'll behave themselves.
Fu Wan wasn't pessimistic about Fu Ming; it's just that coconut snails that can produce Melo Pearls are extremely rare, and she had basically given up before encountering this pleasant surprise.
Ye Xiaocui came down carrying the stainless steel pot and other things, and only saw the cleaned sea bass and Fu Wan cutting snail meat. After looking around for a while, she finally noticed Fu Ming walking around on the mudflats.
"What is your brother looking for?"
