With the addition of tender grouper slices, this congee is absolutely the most delicious.
The abalone were all incredibly plump and delicious.
"This is amazing! I've never seen so many abalone in all my years of life."
Liu Xiaohua sighed. She wasn't surprised that people at sea would encounter abalone nests, but these people were right on the coastline.
"Mom, this isn't the only strange thing. These yellow butter crabs are so rare. My second brother and the others had a huge feast today."
Li Xue said with a smile that the whole family seemed to be blessed with good fortune, and everything they did went very smoothly.
Liu Xiaohua thought her eldest daughter-in-law was right.
"How are Aro and the child?"
Zhou Chunmei asked about Su Luo and Su Tiantian.
"She's doing well. A-Luo is resting, and Tian Tian wakes up occasionally to play for a while. She's very well-behaved."
Liu Xiaohua answered with a smile.
"That's good. The abalone is sold per person. We'll each have one, and A-Luo will have three. She can take Tian Tian's share with her, since she's in postpartum confinement. We'll give her an extra one."
Li Xue cleaned the abalone's opening; she could almost imagine the taste of biting into such a plump abalone.
I'm already very satisfied just to be able to try it.
Thinking of Su Luo, Li Xue always felt that the good fortune in the family was brought back by Su Luo and the child.
Su Luo is always very careful when she is injured. Giving her more special attention will help her get over her pain sooner.
"become."
Liu Xiaohua smiled broadly; she had noticed that both of her daughters-in-law were very good.
Remembering what Su Dahai said yesterday about wanting to make a gold necklace, she felt that it was a good idea, and she would also make a pair of gold earrings for her daughter-in-law later.
Meanwhile, the Su brothers were also settling accounts with Liu, the fishmonger.
"My goodness, your family went out to sea again today?"
Fish Collector Liu was stunned to see the two Su brothers. He thought to himself that this family was really going all out. They were so tired yesterday, yet they were still able to go out to sea today. They were really risking their lives to make money.
"We didn't go out to sea, but my wife and I went beachcombing. We were lucky enough to find a few things."
Su Chengguo said with a smile, seemingly modest, but actually proud.
This is more than just finding a few things.
Others can't even earn a hundred dollars a day at sea, but they can make a fortune by beachcombing.
Su Chenggong's abalone costs 1.5 yuan per jin (500g), and forty jin in total, that's 60 yuan.
Thirty catties of razor clams, four cents per catty, totaling one dollar and twenty cents.
"Boss Su, all of these together cost sixty-one yuan and twenty cents."
After Liu finished calculating Su Chenggong's fortune, he started calculating Su Chengguo's fortune.
Su Chengguo's butter crabs are now valuable. There are five butter crabs weighing over a pound each, which are worth ten yuan per pound. Seven pounds would be worth seventy yuan.
There are also four head and hand-held yellow oil crabs, priced at six yuan per catty (approximately 500 grams), weighing three catties and five liang (approximately 1.25 kilograms), which is equivalent to twenty-one yuan.
Two crabs with roe and butter, three yuan per jin (500g), one jin is four liang (200g), which is four yuan and two jiao (1.2 yuan).
He also has five groupers, which are of good quality and cost 1.2 yuan per catty. Eight catties of groupers would cost 9.6 yuan.
Octopus is cheap.
Su Chengguo was overjoyed to hear that Liu Suan was buying fish. Looking at the few pounds of octopus in the bucket, he said, "I'm not selling these octopuses. I'll keep them for my family to eat at home. These are all I have."
Zhou Chunmei and her group brought back more than a pound of octopus, and there are still about four pounds left in the bucket. It will only last for one or two meals.
Liu, who was collecting fish, stopped acupuncturing and immediately understood that the fisherman was keeping some for himself. He nodded and said, "Okay, then these will cost you a total of one hundred and four yuan and eight jiao."
These two brothers are incredibly lucky. Even Liu, the fishmonger, is envious. If they could earn this much every day, they would quickly become millionaires and make a fortune.
"Put my two cents on my brother's head, so we'll each get a whole number."
Thinking about the money between the two brothers, Su Chenggong decided to put his two cents on his younger brother's tab, so he would get sixty-one and his brother one hundred and fifty cents, both round numbers.
"OK."
Liu, the fishmonger, nodded in agreement and promptly paid the money.
The two carried the empty buckets home together.
"Brother, I wish we could always be this lucky."
Su Chengguo was very excited. He never expected to have such a great harvest while going to the beach, and he couldn't help but sigh.
If they continue to have this good luck, the family will soon be able to live a good life.
"Don't overthink it, just focus on doing things properly."
Su Chenggong patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder.
Even when you have good luck, you shouldn't get carried away. You should always be mindful of yourself.
"Brother is right. What gift are you planning to give Tian Tian for her one-month celebration?"
Su Chengguo's eyes lit up when she thought of her little niece.
That little guy is really adorable.
Thinking about how everything had gone smoothly since she came into their family, and how the three of them had almost died at sea on the day she came home but were lucky enough to return home, and how their luck had only gotten better and better since then, Su Chengguo suddenly felt a jolt when she thought about how he had held the little guy a little longer when he went out today.
He was so much luckier than his older brother today, could it be because he was holding the little one?
With this concern in mind, Su Chengguo decided to conduct an experiment later.
"Whatever you're planning to give, let's give the same thing."
Su Chenggong thought for a moment and asked Su Chengguo, since they were both Su Tiantian's uncles, it would be better to discuss the gift beforehand.
“I want to make a gold lock for Tian Tian, but it’s definitely not cheap. I can’t afford that much. I was thinking, how about we talk to our parents and each family chip in 100 yuan to buy a gold lock weighing about 10 grams for Tian Tian?”
Su Chengguo couldn't help but smile when she thought of Su Tiantian's fair and tender appearance. The little one was chubby and cute, and the whole gold lock looked so elegant.
The thought of how the Yi family treated her made Su Chengguo angry, and she thought that her own family should treat her like a treasure.
Su Chenggong nodded: "That's a good idea. I'll go to sea in a few days and discuss it with Father."
"But before that, I need to talk to my sister-in-law tonight. Your sister-in-law and I will also discuss it. Speaking of which, they gave birth to our children, and we didn't give them anything good. Now we're going to make a gold lock for Tiantian. I'm afraid your sister-in-law and the others will be angry."
Su Chenggong felt a pang of guilt when he thought of Li Xue.
"That's easy. Let's make one for each of the children. We're all sons, so a light beating like the Golden Lock will do."
Su Chengguo felt that this solved the problem; everyone had it, and it was all the same.
We weren't so lucky before; everyone was frugal. Now that we're lucky, our thinking is definitely different.
"They're all children, so we should treat them all equally."
Su Chengguo said with a grin, "The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems."
Su Chenggong pondered for a moment and said, "Then this is no small matter. A gram of gold costs about thirty yuan. If we need to make this much, it will cost about a thousand yuan. Let's try to get a feel for Dad's opinion later. Anyway, gold is valuable, and it might appreciate in value in the future."
At that time, Su Chenggong could never have imagined that the price of gold would increase dozens of times over decades later.
"Okay, just thinking about the gold lock, gold necklace, gold earrings, and 'gold ring' gives me renewed energy." Su Chengguo nodded repeatedly, her steps becoming lighter.
