Chapter 161 Picking Sea Intestines
Sea intestine rice noodles can fully retain the freshness of the sea intestine. Putting it in stir-fried dishes will make them much fresher than adding oyster sauce.
What is the price of sea sausage and oyster sauce?
After having an idea in her mind, Song Shiwei was no longer panicked. After filling the bucket, she carried the bucket back.
When the sisters-in-law saw that she really brought back a bucket of this stuff, they couldn't help but become very curious.
"Weiwei, why did you pick up so many of these things?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "This thing is edible!"
When the sisters-in-law heard her say it was edible, their reactions were similar to those of Sun Meimei and the others.
"Ah? This thing is edible?"
"It looks so ugly, but it's edible?"
"No, no, it looks like an earthworm, I won't eat it!"
One of the sisters-in-law picked up one end of the sea cucumber, but it fell to the other end like a balloon filled with water.
She swallowed with some difficulty and put it back into Song Shiwei's bucket.
"This thing makes me feel sick just looking at it, don't even think about letting me eat it!"
Song Shiwei put the bucket back into the house and carried out another empty bucket.
This time she also put scissors and chopsticks, as well as a scale and a weight in the bucket. When the sisters-in-law saw her carrying the bucket to pick sea cucumbers again, they all shook their heads.
"Hey, only Wei Wei dares to eat this thing!"
Song Shiwei carried the bucket all the way to the beach. This time she didn't pick up the seafood directly, but found a villager who was looking for seafood.
"Brother, are you here to catch fish?"
The elder brother nodded: "Yeah, I thought that after this heavy rain, some good things would be washed up on the beach, but who would have thought that it would be all this stuff! It can't be eaten, and it looks ugly and sticky. It's disgusting just looking at it! It's so unlucky!"
Hearing his evaluation of sea cucumber, she couldn't help but smile.
"So how did you harvest today, big brother?"
The man lifted the bucket and showed it to her.
"Look, I just caught a few small fish, not even enough to fill my stomach!"
Song Shiwei stretched his head and took a look, and sure enough, there were only a few small fish as thick as fingers, with not much meat on them.
"Big Brother, would you like to help me pick up this sea cucumber? I'll pay you!"
When that person heard this, he looked at Song Shiwei as if he was a fool, with disbelief in his eyes.
"What? You want us to help you pick up these sea cucumbers? And you're paying us? Little girl, are you okay?"
Song Shiwei laughed a little.
"I'm fine, big brother. These sea cucumbers may be useless to you, but I am indeed useful! Do you think you are willing to do it? But I want to pack the sea cucumbers! I'll give you 10 cents per pound! What do you think?"
The man was still in shock. "One cent?"
The hands that were stretched out were shaking unconsciously.
"Little girl, are you sure you want to give us one cent per pound?"
Seeing that he was full of disbelief, Song Shiwei smiled, squatted down, picked up a sea cucumber, neatly cut off the two ends with scissors, then squeezed out the internal organs and water, turned it over quickly with chopsticks, and rinsed it clean.
Holding the thin layer of skin in her hand, she smiled and said to him, "I want to buy processed skins like this, one pound for one cent! Do you want to do it?"
The man looked at the sea sausage skin in her hand, blinked, and when he reacted, his face was suddenly filled with ecstasy.
"Go, go, go! Of course I'm willing to do it!!"
As he was about to pick up sea cucumbers, Song Shiwei stopped him and said, "Brother, could you please go back to the village and ask if there are other people who want to do it together? If you find someone to help me pick up sea cucumbers, I will give you two cents!"
The man was obviously happier when he heard this.
He patted his chest and assured Song Shiwei.
"No problem, leave it to me! I'll go find someone for you right now!"
Find someone to give you two points! Of course he is willing!
As expected, money makes the world go round. Song Shiwei only waited for about five or six minutes.
A group of people came, at least forty or fifty of them, young and old, strong laborers in the village and women who had nothing to do at home.
"Little girl, I heard from Daniu's father that you want to pick up some sea cucumbers, right? I'll give you 20 cents per pound."
"That's right, little girl, you can't bluff me with that! Are you really going to give me money?"
"If you pay us, we'll do it!"
"That's right, it's like I found it for free, why not do it?"
Everyone was talking at once, and Song Shiwei quickly clapped his hands to get everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone has heard of me. I do buy sea cucumbers, and they are indeed 20 cents per pound, but I have to process them well. Now I will show you the standard by which I buy sea cucumbers!"
As she spoke, she took a sea cucumber and, just like she had demonstrated to the big brother just now, cut off both ends with scissors, squeezed out the internal organs and water, then turned the sea cucumber over with chopsticks and rinsed it clean!
Pointing at the sea cucumber skin in his hand, he said to everyone: "See? I want this, 20 cents per pound! If you are willing to work, go pick it up, and when you are done, come to me to weigh it and get paid!"
Hearing her words, those people were overjoyed.
"This stuff is all over the beach. It's a piece of cake to pick it up. I have to go pick it up quickly!"
"Me too. I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home anyway, so I might as well make some money! It doesn't take much effort!"
Some people came with their whole family, and some who heard the noise also ran over to see what was going on. After asking, they also joined the team picking sea cucumbers.
The big brother from before came over with a smile.
"Little girl, do you think I have found enough people for you? I just finished. I found fifty-six people for you in total. Do you have to give me one dollar and twelve cents?"
Song Shi smiled and nodded: "Of course I will keep my word, I won't give you anything less!"
As he said this, he took out one dollar and two cents from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Brother, this is your hard work fee! The extra few cents are just a thank you for helping me!"
Seeing how generous she was, the man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, okay, little girl, thank you! If there is such a good thing in the future, you must think of me. My home is in Likou Village, four or five miles ahead! My name is Li Dazhuang!"
In fact, during this period Song Shiwei also looked at him carefully. This man was very efficient. He found people for her so quickly when she asked him to find them. He was also a very honest person. He didn't even charge for those seven or eight-year-old children he found.
If it were up to that kind of shrewd and calculating person, not to mention a seven or eight-year-old child who can do farm work, even a four or five-year-old baby who can pick up things, he can count them for you!
"Don't worry, if I need you, I'll send someone to find you!"
When Li Dazhuang heard this, he immediately picked up the bucket and went to pick up sea cucumbers happily.
With the addition of more than fifty people, Song Shiwei filled his bucket, found a stone to sit down and began to clean up the sea cucumbers.
The beach was filled with sea cucumbers, and even with so many people picking them up, it still looked like a huge project.
Those families began to divide the work and cooperate, with men responsible for picking up and women responsible for putting away.
Someone else carried a large basin and put all the cleaned sea cucumbers into the basin.
