After the boat returned to the dock, they saw Xiao Yu from Dongqiang Aquatic Products already waiting there. After seeing Zheng Gan and the other two, he came up to greet them very quickly.
"Brother Hao and sister-in-law, you have worked hard."
Zheng Gan handed over the sea urchin in his hand and said, "You have worked hard and waited here specially."
"It's okay, brother. My uncle is here and waiting in the store." Xiaoyu's uncle is Wang Dongqiang.
"Okay, I haven't seen Uncle Qiang for a while. Let's go over and say hello." Zheng Gan has been a bit busy recently and has not had time to go to the county, so he has not seen Wang Dongqiang.
"Agan, I won't go over. I'm going home to edit the video." Qiao Xin didn't want to disturb their conversation, so she planned to go home first.
So Zheng Gan, Lin Haoxiao and the other two came to the Xiaohaicun branch of Dongqiang Aquatic Products with sea urchins.
"Uncle Qiang, how come you have time to come to the village today?" Zheng Gan smiled and greeted Wang Dongqiang. The two of them became more familiar with each other and spoke not as politely as before.
"You two boys, if you don't come to the county to see me, why can't I come to the village to see you?" Wang Dongqiang joked. However, he also knew that Zheng Gan had been busy recently. "I heard that you got a lot of purple sea urchins again?"
Zheng Gan nodded and opened the bag of sea urchins. "That's all. 140 kilograms in total, and each one is quite large."
This kind of good thing is rare, so he kept some for himself to share when he got home.
"Tsk tsk, although I'm used to you getting good stuff, this kind and quantity of purple sea urchins is the first time I've seen them in our county in all these years." Wang Dongqiang has been working in the aquatic products business for so many years that he can tell at a glance that these sea urchins are top quality and are really rare in their area.
"They're all pretty big. Let's put it this way. I'll charge you 240 yuan per pound, which is a total of yuan."
This price was already higher than Zheng Gan's reserve price, so he naturally had no objection. "Uncle Qiang, whatever you say is fine."
"Okay, I've transferred the money to you. I won't keep you here anymore. Just go do whatever you need to do." After Wang Dongqiang transferred the money, he began to sort the sea urchins. He wanted to separate them by size and sell them.
Zheng Gan didn't say anything more and left with Lin Hao, carrying the sea urchins. He first delivered half of the sea urchins to Qiao Xin's house, and then returned to Lin Hao's house.
Purple sea urchins have high medicinal and nutritional value, and even people living by the sea don't get to eat them often.
Wu Sujuan was heartbroken by the five kilograms of purple sea urchins Zheng Gan brought back.
"You two are such spendthrifts. Why did you bring back something so expensive? You've eaten it before."
"Oh, aunt, we are not as poor as before and have to eat coarse food every day. Now the conditions are better, we can also eat something better. Besides, these are not bought with money, they are all made by ourselves. We can't let others suffer but not ourselves." Zheng Gan understood Wu Sujuan's idea, but disagreed.
"Besides, this purple sea urchin has a lot of medicinal value. It can reduce phlegm and swelling. Look at us coughing every day, so eating some of this would be good."
Lin Gang and Zheng Gan both smoke, so their throats are often uncomfortable and they have phlegm. Wu Sujuan goes out to play cards every day and also breathes in their secondhand smoke, so her throat is not in good condition either.
"Okay, okay, you're the only one who talks too much. Go deliver some to Xinxin's house first, and then process these sea urchins here. I'll cook them for you later." Wu Sujuan also knew that this was all Zheng Gan's good intentions, so she didn't say anything more.
There are many ways to eat sea urchin. Generally, it is processed and then steamed with eggs, or used as sashimi. The taste is very fresh and sweet. People living by the sea also use sea urchin to make fried rice and dumplings, which is even more delicious.
"I have already sent it to their house in advance, so don't worry." Zheng Gan knew this. Good things had to be sent to his father-in-law's house, otherwise he would easily be scolded.
While handling the sea urchins, Lin Gang asked about their diving experience today.
"You all go diving in the seabed during the day, but in fact, those experienced masters go diving at night." Lin Gang made a suggestion. Even though he is not in this line of work, the information and experience he has are beyond the reach of these novices.
"How do you say uncle?"
"When you go diving during the day, you pick up slow-moving seafood. They are basically just lying there waiting for you to pick them up, right? You can't catch those that move fast at all," said Lin Gang.
Zheng Gan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Apart from the large mantis shrimps and lobsters caught with more complicated tools, the only things that could be picked up from the seabed were basically shellfish and snails. It was difficult to even catch a crab, let alone the fish.
Just today when he went to the sea, a grouper swam past him and he could only stare at it, unable to do anything.
"If you go down at night, things like cuttlefish and stonefish are in their resting state, so they're easy to catch. If you bring a spear gun, you can even catch fast-swimming fish."
What Lin Gang said is actually a normal diving and catching seafood operation, but it is a little different for Zheng Gan, but not big. He has a plug-in that can ensure that he can find those stupid seafood during the day.
Of course, if you have the chance, you can also try going to the sea at night and get more seafood.
After finishing the sea urchin feast, it was still early, so Lin Hao suggested going to the mudflats behind the mountain after the tide receded. He was free anyway, and he had tasted the sweetness of picking up so many blue crabs last time.
"Okay, let's go, call your sister-in-law, and start a live broadcast." Zheng Gan also agreed
As for Qiao Xin's live streaming, she has earned nearly 20,000 yuan in just one month, and these are all rewards from live streaming. Now there are several advertisers seeking cooperation, and Qiao Xin is also investigating the advertisers' products. She cannot lose her fans because of a few advertisements.
Tonight's mid-tide, so it's not bad. I might try my luck and get a catch. The main problem is that the timing is not good. It's closed season, so I can't go out and cast my nets, which will definitely affect my income. Otherwise, I could make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan with a single net like before, which would be a lot of fun.
The only activities available nowadays are ordinary sea hunting, deep diving and sea fishing, which is a bit monotonous.
After the two put on their equipment, they picked up Qiao Xin and headed towards the mudflats behind the mountain.
June is coming soon, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Long sleeves are impossible to wear, but because of the hot weather, the little bugs on the beach have started to move around, and even some black mosquitoes have started to move.
"Here's some toilet water for you. You'll feel much better if you apply a little." Qiao Xin took out the toilet water and handed it to the two of them.
Zheng Gan applied it quickly. With this protection, he would suffer less at night.
