That damned Uncle Jinshui, he only casually mentioned adding MSG, he wouldn't have actually told anyone, would he?
Forehead...
He couldn't quite imagine whether the seafood, accustomed to the natural flavors of the sea, would vomit or find it delicious if suddenly presented with a bunch of industrial MSG.
Whatever, I'll just say I don't know if they ask me anyway.
Neither proactive nor refusing, no responsibility!
"This has nothing to do with me. Maybe they're buying MSG to develop a new cuisine. You're overthinking it."
Li the Cripple didn't argue, just chuckled twice, "Anyway, if someone wants to buy, I'll sell. Let them do whatever they want."
Ye Cheng was speechless, never expecting such an unexpected gain from buying cigarettes from Li the Cripple.
I guess I'm going to get yelled at again.
If things continue like this, will I earn the reputation of being a heartless rich man?
After leaving Li the Cripple, Ye Cheng called out to Xiao Hu, and the two of them set off to go beachcombing with their belongings.
Since we have a motorcycle, we plan to go directly to the outer edge of the beach this time.
As he left, Ye Cheng deliberately circled around the village entrance, not to show off, but simply to see how many people were fishing.
"Brother, there are so many people fishing." Xiao Hu pointed to the rocks by the sea. Wow, they were all standing there like statues waiting for their husbands, with perfect posture and focused expressions. If there were a competition, they would definitely win first prize.
The only problem was that no one pulled the lever for a long time.
Out of stock.
Even from dozens of meters away, Ye Cheng could hear shouts of cursing coming from the wind, most of them directed at him.
Ignore them. If you don't understand why others are making money, blindly following the trend will lead to huge losses in future generations.
With a twist of the accelerator, Ye Cheng pulled Xiao Hu out of the village.
Beachcombing is no longer possible in the village, and it's also no longer possible in Liu Village.
None of that matters.
The ocean is so vast; if you walk along the coast, you're bound to find a suitable spot.
Besides, it's not like I haven't been there before. The main thing about being a village wanderer is to stroll around; you can go anywhere.
Ye Cheng and Xiao Hu had a secret beach before.
It's called a secret beach, but frankly, it's just a place with difficult roads and few people.
Starting from the village, after passing Liu Village, turn onto a small road, ride for another ten minutes and then get off the bike. After crossing a small grove of trees, you will reach the seaside.
Because the road is difficult to travel, there are relatively few people here.
This beach isn't sandy or mudflat; it's mostly covered in small pebbles.
The two men carried the water tank and tools, cutting down the branches blocking their way before finally making their way in.
The small harbor, with its calm waters, would definitely be a great spot for barbecues if it were developed.
"Let's get to work. It's already afternoon, and it's getting a bit creepy to stay here until evening."
Both were skilled at beachcombing, so the two split up and started working.
The water was shallow, and if you stepped in, your shoes would get wet. Ye Cheng could only roll up his trouser legs, letting the cool seawater soak his feet.
Every now and then, the waves, which had already calmed down, would surge up and gently lap at your calves.
The water was very clear; you couldn't see anything.
Ye Cheng bent down, found the stone, and began to turn it over.
In places like this, there are no mudflats, so you don't need a shovel; there are no puddles, so you don't need a net; you just turn over rocks. Everything else is pointless.
Ye Cheng gently turned over a stone, startling a crab, but it didn't dare to run away. He held it down and picked it up. It was a swimming crab, quite large. It had been a long time since he had seen a swimming crab after the last crab season.
"Brother, long time no see," Ye Cheng greeted him warmly, tossing it into the bucket.
After taking two steps forward, Ye Cheng saw a slightly larger rock. He pried it with his shovel, and a small patch of muddy water appeared. Something slipped out of the muddy water and hid under another rock.
Dude, you think the teacher won't notice if you cheat on the exam? They see it all clearly.
Ye Cheng didn't even need to move his feet; he simply turned around and flipped over the yellowish-brown pebble, revealing the crab underneath.
The young man wanted to escape, but after hesitating for a moment, he was subdued by Ye Cheng before he could choose a location.
Ye Cheng picked up a blue crab and took a look. The crab had a yellowish body, thick legs, and was quite plump. Could it be a mud crab?
He turned it over and looked at it; it had a round cap and was entirely yellow—it really was a crab with roe.
There are two types of mud crabs: meat crabs and roe crabs.
Mud crabs are just ordinary mud crabs. Their bodies are bluish-white, especially the flap on their abdomen, which is completely white.
The term "roe crab" specifically refers to pregnant female crabs. Their bodies are yellowish, containing crab roe, and their shells also turn yellow. They taste much better than simply eating crab meat, and of course, they are also much more expensive.
There is also a premium variety of crab called the butter crab, which has even more abundant crab roe, to put it bluntly, the roe is so oily it's practically dripping with oil.
The difference between yellow butter crab and regular mud crab lies in their joints. If you break the crab legs apart, the part where the crab legs connect to the body is yellow, and the joints on the crab legs are also yellow.
Ye Cheng picked up the crab in his hand and examined it closely. Its joints were covered in a yellowish patina, making it a typical yellow butter crab.
It's wild, this is awesome!
Ye Cheng carefully placed the precious crab into the bucket and continued walking forward.
Sunlight streamed down, reflecting a bright light off the rocky hill in front of him. Ye Cheng looked over and saw a cat's-eye snail perched on a rock.
Cat's eye snail, also known as large whelk, is several times larger than regular whelk and has a chewy, firm texture; while regular whelk is more tender and crisp. Both are seafoods that frequently appear on people's dining tables.
There were quite a few cat's-eye snails here. Ye Cheng lowered his head and began to pick them up one by one, using his fingers to pry open the snail meat that was sticking out of the shell, breaking it off from the rock. The snail meat nervously squirted out a stream of clear water and then retracted into its shell.
I collected about 20 cat's eye snails, some as big as half a palm and some as long as a thumb. They were all quite heavy, making the bucket feel quite substantial.
"Little Tiger, what did you get?" Ye Cheng shouted at Little Tiger.
Xiao Hu raised his right hand, in which was a crab struggling wildly; it looked like a swimming crab.
"Brother, there's a little bit of crab and snail," Xiao Hu replied loudly.
Ye Cheng nodded. As long as there's goods, that's fine.
He took a few steps forward and started searching under the rocks. The area under the rocks was quite messy. Besides finding two small blue crabs, Ye Cheng also found several large prawns and tiger prawns.
Seeing that the bucket was already more than half full, Ye Cheng took out a snakeskin bag and poured the contents in. He left the yellow butter crab in the bucket alone, as it was a premium item.
A little further ahead, there's a section on the beach that obscures the view below.
Ye Cheng walked closer and looked down. It was still the same beach, only the water was a little deeper.
