"Fugui, where did you get that sea urchin?!"
That's right, what Fugui was holding in his mouth was a sea urchin, and a rather delicious one at that.
The turtle wasn't afraid of the sea urchin pricking its mouth. Only when Fu Wan saw it did it open its mouth and spit out the sea urchin.
Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! I've stabbed the turtle to death!
After spitting out the sea urchin, seeing that Fu Wan was still busy with her own things, it crawled over and pawed at Fu Wan's shoes with its front paws. When Fu Wan turned her attention back to it, it was satisfied and pushed the sea urchin toward Fu Wan.
"You want me to open it for you?"
Anyway, it's definitely not for me to eat. Fu Wan has known Fu Gui for several months, so she naturally knows the turtle's gluttonous nature.
Sure enough, Fugui nodded his head on the sand and then put on an arrogant look.
Sea urchin, open it up and get to work!
Helping to open sea urchins is no problem, it's just a small favor.
Fu Wan picked up the knife next to her and cut along the edge of the sea urchin. The sea urchin was split in two, and the yellow sea urchin meat inside made her swallow hard.
She couldn't bring herself to compete with a turtle for food, so she quickly pushed the sea urchin towards Fugui. When Fugui leaned in to enjoy the sea urchin, she pulled it back.
? ? ?
Human, don't force me to use the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to rip you apart!
Fu Wan noticed Fu Gui's eagerness to eat and couldn't help but laugh, "I'll open the sea urchins for you. After you finish eating, take me to where you picked them, and I'll open a few more for you!"
Helping Fugui open sea urchins is a small matter; what's real is that I'm craving them myself.
When they were taking orders for small blue lobsters, they were pulled away by damselfish to clean sea urchins. In the end, Fu Wan took those sea urchins back. The Fu family, Fu Liang's family, Fu San's family, Wang Xiuer and the neighbors all ate too many.
Because the sea urchin business was slow at Fu San's place at that time, there was a lot left over, which he had to consume himself.
For a long time, Fu Wan didn't want to see sea urchins. Now, after not eating sea urchins for so long, especially the even more delicious "horse dung sea urchin," Fu Wan wanted to pick a few to take home and steam with eggs for Fu Ling and the others. (Image of horse dung sea urchin from the internet, please delete if infringing copyright) However, she genuinely hadn't seen any sea urchins just now, and didn't know where Fu Gui had found them.
A sea urchin was split in two, and Fugui finished it in just a few bites.
After it finished, it glanced at Fu Wan twice, then turned around and started crawling in the direction it was going.
Fu Wan carried the basket containing the mole crickets and shrimps far away from the sea, then picked up an empty basket next to her, and after thinking for a moment, also grabbed a pair of fire tongs before following Fu Gui's footsteps.
Sea turtles can actually climb quite fast. Their forelimbs are not as small as those of freshwater turtles, so they can catch up with their speed as long as they pull hard.
After following Fu Gui for about five or six minutes, Fu Wan realized that they had arrived at the rocky cave near the Swallow's Nest Reef on the island.
Many seabirds were startled by Fu Wan's approach and took flight, but seeing that she posed no threat, they slowly landed a short distance away.
There were quite a few swiftlets that Fu Wan recognized. She hadn't been inside since she went to harvest a few bags of bird's nests last time, mainly because she didn't want her scent to affect the swiftlets. Once a year or even once every two years was enough for her to earn.
After all, it takes time for bird's nests to form. If you stay too long, the swiftlets will all fly away, which will affect long-term harvesting.
Upon reaching a large reef, Fugui stopped climbing. Fuwan immediately spotted Huakai eating sea urchin nearby. When Huakai saw Fuwan and Fugui arrive, she merely glanced at her, and Fuwan even noticed a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Disgusted? Disgusted with whom?
That definitely wasn't because it disliked her. Huakai was also very capable. Fu Wan was wondering who opened the sea urchin it was eating, and the next second Huakai solved the mystery for her.
Hua Kai faced a sea urchin, closed her eyes, and took a bite, instantly tearing a large hole in the sea urchin.
Then it paws at the food a couple more times with its forelegs, and then it continues eating contentedly.
So that's how it is. No wonder the flowers looked down on wealth.
With it holding the sea urchin in its pincers, it can probably eat several more sea urchins.
However, since he was her good friend, Fu Wan couldn't possibly criticize Fu Gui's actions. Besides, if Fu Gui hadn't brought sea urchins to her, she wouldn't have known there were so many horse manure sea urchins here!
To thank her friend, Fu Wan carried a basket over and, instead of immediately picking sea urchins from her own basket, she put on gloves, picked up the sea urchins, cut them open with a knife, and placed them in front of Fu Gui.
Fu Gui was not surprised at all. He proudly tossed his head at Hua Kai, then buried his head and began to eat.
Hua Kai suddenly felt that even the sea urchins didn't taste good anymore. She looked at Fu Wan longingly. Fu Wan couldn't bear to see the pitiful look of the hawksbill turtle, so she quickly opened two or three more and placed them in front of Hua Kai.
Now, both sea turtles were eating so much that they didn't even lift their heads.
They're such idiots!
Fu Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead and picked up the sea urchins one by one with fire tongs.
These sea urchins must have been washed ashore by the sea after the rain last night.
There were probably several sacks of sea urchins by the reef. Besides the common black sea urchins, there were also quite a few.
Fu Wan had no interest in the ordinary sea urchins at all; this basket of sea urchins probably couldn't even hold them all, so she naturally had no interest in the ordinary ones.
"Ah Wan! Ah Wan!"
"Mother!"
"Godmother!"
Several shouts came from afar, and Fu Wan realized that she hadn't told her family that she was here to collect sea urchins.
She nervously carried a basket full of sea urchins and quickly emerged from under the rocks.
"I'm here!"
Ye Xiaocui, who was closest to Fu Wan, finally felt relieved when she saw Fu Wan's figure.
She strode over and slapped Fu Wan's arm.
"You silly child, you went off to do something without telling us."
Fortunately, Fu Wan was a good swimmer, otherwise they would have been worried that she might have been swept away by the sea.
Fu Wan chuckled sheepishly, "Mom, I didn't wander off. I just followed Fugui to pick up these things and got so engrossed that I forgot to tell you!"
Ye Xiaocui wanted to say something, but when she saw the basket of beautiful sea urchins in Fu Wan's hand, she forgot all her anger.
"Wow, where did such a beautiful sea urchin come from?!"
Fu Ming, who ran over upon hearing the noise, saw that Fu Wan was unharmed and was immediately drawn to the sea urchin in her hand.
He wasn't particular about such things. He picked up a sea urchin, cut it open with a knife, tore off the dark gray mouthparts, and then scraped off the orange-yellow sea urchin meat with the knife and poured it into his mouth.
"tasty!"
Fu Ming swallowed a sea urchin in two or three bites and gave Fu Wan a thumbs up.
Just as he was about to ask Fu Wan where she had picked it up, Fu Wan's attention was drawn to the commotion on the sea.
Fu Ming looked over, puzzled, only to see a column of water erupting from the previously calm sea, and a black dorsal fin emerging from the water, heading towards their ship.
What is that?
