Sand garlic is a mollusk that lives on mudflats. It is a type of sea anemone, similar to sea intestine, with no thorns on its body, light yellow in color, and looks ugly and disgusting, like that thing, but its nutritional value is very high. It is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and is called the Cordyceps sinensis of the sea.
In this day and age, anything that nourishes yin and strengthens yang will definitely be expensive.
When Zheng Gan was a child, he dug up sand garlic on the mudflats and threw it away directly. No one ate it at that time. Unexpectedly, it has become a popular commodity now.
"Let's hurry up and dig, brother. Time is running out." Lin Hao looked at the time. They were already a little late, and the tide would rise in less than three hours.
Moreover, sand garlic is not like other seafood that can be picked up by hand. It needs to be dug out from the sand bit by bit, which is a bit troublesome.
Lin Hao was quite fast, digging out one every two to three minutes on average. "It's really strange, these sand garlics are so big, each one weighs a pound. The ones I dug up before were much smaller."
"Maybe it's mutated. Who cares? The bigger the better." Zheng Gan's speed was a little slower, and it took him an average of four to five minutes to make one.
"Brother, after you finish digging, keep ten pounds for yourself and eat them when you get home. I heard this stuff is very nutritious." Lin Hao looked at Zheng Gan's kidneys with ill intentions.
"You bastard! Can you please get out of here?" Zheng Gan was very angry. "I am just like you, a child now, what's the use of mending wool?"
"How shameful." Lin Hao put down his sarcasm and quickly ran to the other side with his equipment, fearing that he would be beaten.
Zheng Gan was too lazy to pay attention to the foul-mouthed Lin Hao and just kept digging sand garlic. However, he was indeed thinking about the fact that he was a virgin.
I had previously agreed with Qiao Xin that I would truly become a man after we got engaged, and getting engaged meant we had to finish decorating the house. Judging from the current progress, it would take more than two weeks.
"Oh, work hard. You won't have so many bad thoughts when you're tired." Zheng Gan really turned his grief and anger into motivation. The small shovel he swung was almost leaving afterimages. He was planning to work himself to death and forget everything.
Lin Hao looked at the situation here, which was almost smoking, and became more determined to keep ten kilograms of sand garlic.
......
The two men dug hard until the tide went out, and basically wiped out all the sand garlic on the mudflat.
"Let's go, Haozi, it's almost time." Zheng Gan glanced at the map and started packing up.
Lin Hao nodded, packed all the things, and picked up Zheng Gan's bag.
"Damn it, it's true that I say you're an animal. You can lift a bag weighing over 100 kilograms with one hand. My aunt must be feeding you hormones every day." Zheng Gan cursed, but he was envious in his heart. They also came here to work, and he was exhausted, but others could still carry a bag weighing over 100 kilograms with one hand.
When he was a child, Lin Hao had a similar physique to Zheng Gan, or even a little different. But in the past few years since Zheng Gan went out, this kid didn't know what the hell he ate, and he became a strong man. Even if he was tired, as long as he rested for a night, he would be full of energy the next day.
"I really don't know. After you left, my appetite suddenly increased, and my strength also increased day by day. I don't know what's going on." Lin Hao was also a little confused, but he never took it to heart. It wasn't a bad thing anyway.
Zheng Gan was speechless. He even suspected that this guy had accidentally eaten some rare treasures. Ever since he got the map, his worldview had collapsed. Let alone rare treasures, he would believe it even if someone who could cultivate immortality appeared.
The two of them chatted and soon came to the side of the boat. After putting their things on it, Zheng Gan lay down again and left the driving of the boat to Lin Hao. He fell asleep while lying there.
It was not until they reached the village dock that Lin Hao called them.
"Wake up, brother. Go back and sleep after you finish selling the things."
Zheng Gan nodded woodenly and forced himself to follow Lin Hao. He felt even worse after waking up. His whole body ached as if it was falling apart. He went to the recycling station, but just as he opened the door, he collapsed before he could even finish a complete sentence.
"Fuck! Bro!"
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
This was the last thing Zheng Gan heard before he lost consciousness.
......
When he woke up again, he was lying in the county hospital, with Lin Hao and Qiao Xin sitting beside his bed.
"What's wrong with me?" Zheng Gan was a little confused.
Seeing that he had woken up, Lin Hao ran out to call a doctor. Qiao Xin asked with concern, "Brother, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No, I just feel a bit tired." Zheng Gan felt it briefly and found nothing else except tiredness.
"That's good." Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then explained, "You and Ahao went to the beach yesterday, and when you were delivering the goods to Xiao Yu, you fainted."
"Then they sent you to the hospital. The doctor said you had a high fever, and you've been sleeping ever since."
Zheng Gan nodded. He now remembered what happened before, and then he held Qiao Xin's hand and said, "It's okay now. Maybe you just caught a cold. Let the doctor check it out and then you can be discharged from the hospital."
"Just observe for a few more days. You're already feeling unwell, so why do you still want to go fishing? We really don't have to work so hard." Qiao Xin started to cry as she spoke. She also knew that Zheng Gan worked so hard to make money just to let her live a good life, but what's the use of having money if her health is broken.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry, Sister Xin. I'm fine now. Look, I'm in great shape." Zheng Gan even did some bodybuilding moves in a funny way.
At this time, Lin Hao and the doctor also came in. Seeing Zheng Gan so energetic, they briefly asked about his condition. After checking him, they said, "Okay, it should be fine. You must get a good rest when you go back. Don't take advantage of your youth and neglect your health."
"Doctor, do I need to observe for a few more days?" Qiao Xin asked hurriedly.
"No, it's just the fever that's causing the weakness. You'll be fine after you go home and rest." The doctor said with a smile, "Okay, go and complete the discharge procedures and go home directly."
The doctor left the ward after he finished speaking. Zheng Gan was about to say something when Wu Sujuan and Lin Gang, the elderly couple Qiao Zhengdong, and Xiao Yu and Jiang Feng rushed in.
"Are you okay, Agan?"
"What did the doctor say?"
"Brother, the boss said he'll be here soon."
You and he talked back and forth, leaving Zheng Gan stunned. He then said helplessly, "It's okay, it's okay. The doctor said it's just a common fever. Just go back and rest."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all came to the hospital yesterday and went back very late at night, leaving Lin Hao and Qiao Xin here to guard the place. They came together early this morning.
