Aqing took Wu An there.
Wu An was holding an abalone in his hand. The abalone wasn't very big, only about the size of his palm, and he estimated it to weigh about two or three ounces.
Fresh abalone is priced simply by weight.
For example, two-headed abalone, four-headed abalone, six-headed abalone. Simply put, it refers to how many abalone make up one pound. However, the abalone are counted after they have been dried.
Even if a fresh abalone weighs a pound, it may not be considered a two-headed abalone after it has been dried.
Whether fresh or dried, abalone is very valuable.
There were seven or eight in Aqing's bucket.
Ah Qing said she just picked up all those abalones randomly.
What does this tell us?
This suggests there might be even more in the seawater!
soon.
The two arrived at the place where they had found the abalone.
The rocks here are slightly sloping, but very gentle. The tides rise and fall, and there are no waves today, so it's quite stable to stand in the tide.
Wu An tried to go down.
He walked until the tide reached his chest, then suddenly felt something under his feet. He turned around and shouted to Ah Qing, then suddenly squatted down in the seawater.
He grabbed the abalone with both hands and pulled it out suddenly.
With a "pop," he pulled the abalone off the plate. Then he stood up, and with a splashing sound, he shook his head, sending seawater flying everywhere.
Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, how did it go?"
Wu An raised his arm and opened his palm. The abalone in his palm was very large, about the size of his hand. A Qing stared wide-eyed: "What a big abalone!"
"This must weigh more than a pound."
"Brother, it has to be you. I picked up so many, but none of them were big."
Wu An was quite pleased. Such a large abalone would surely fetch a good price, and he had just picked it up casually. He had just swept it with his foot and touched at least three or four bumps.
These protrusions are most likely abalone.
Overjoyed, he looked around. The tide was still receding, but he figured that no matter how much it dropped, not many abalone would be revealed.
You have to go into the sea and snorkel to pry open the abalone.
That's quite dangerous.
But we have to do it!
This "Plate Island" is relatively barren. Those few puddles aren't very big, so I guess there won't be any good stuff there. Ah Qing can just use a basin to collect them later.
These unexpected abalone are probably the key to whether or not we can use up all our luck points today.
Wu An said, "Aqing, let's go back to the boat first."
Aqing was taken aback, then asked excitedly, "Brother, do you want to catch abalone?"
Wu An nodded: "Dare you?"
Aqing chuckled: "That's a good question."
"As long as you say you want to do it, I'll definitely do it with you."
"With me by your side, what wouldn't I dare to do?"
Wu An patted him on the shoulder without saying anything more.
The two men gestured to Old Mike, and Old Mike brought the boat closer.
Old Mike asked, "Is there nothing interesting to do on the island?"
“There’s not much to do on the island, but we found abalone.” Wu An said, as he and A Qing took out the diving suit set that Gu Anran had bought.
Gu Anran spent a lot of money.
They said it was better to be prepared than not, but it turned out to be very useful on this trip.
Old Mai frowned as he watched the two fiddling with the abalone and asked, "Since you found the abalone, go pry it open. What's with the boat and diving suits... Wait, you didn't find the abalone in the tide, did you?"
Wu An said, "Yes, I guess waiting for the tide to go out won't work. The abalone are all in deeper water. We'll have to put on a diving suit and dive down to pry them out."
Old Mai immediately became anxious, glaring and shouting, "Don't you dare mess around!"
Wu An smiled and said, "I'm not being silly."
"They're all wearing wetsuits for safety, aren't they?"
Old Mai shook his head: "That won't work either."
"This is too dangerous."
"If a wave comes in, we won't be able to find anyone."
"You are too young; you have no idea how terrifying the ocean can be!"
He started talking non-stop.
Wu An listened without interrupting Old Mai. When Old Mai stopped, he said, "Well then... Hangyu, come with me."
"Tie it to the rocks with a rope."
“We agreed that Aqing and I would pop out every two minutes. If we didn’t, you would pull the rope.”
Old Mike is right.
Peeling abalone in the tide is extremely dangerous.
But to give up like that would be like "entering a mountain of treasure and leaving empty-handed," so how could he possibly be willing to do that?
There are ropes on the boat, several hundred meters long.
Moreover, it is sturdy and durable.
Mai Hangyu nodded in agreement.
He was different from Lao Mai. He was able to get on the ship as a "helper" and was paid a salary. He had to listen to Wu An, the boss.
Old Mai was still worried and said he wanted to go and check it out.
Wu An didn't say anything.
The four people went ashore first.
At this time, the tide was still receding. Wu An walked down, and the seawater was no longer up to his chest. It had gone down a little, but not much.
As he predicted, even when the tide goes down to the bottom, only a few abalone will likely be visible.
That's definitely not enough.
He discovered that the diving suit could also increase his luck, as could the shovel.
Abalone is similar to a general's hat; it requires lightning-fast shoveling or prying it off, otherwise even smashing the shell won't get you off.
This is because the abalone's foot has an amazing adhesion.
This is quite normal.
It's not that they're on guard against anything, but because the currents are so strong, the abalone have to use a lot of suction to attach to the rocks.
If you don't manage to scoop the abalone off the first time, there's no need to try a second time.
otherwise.
Even if you remove the abalone shell, the meat will still stick to the rocks.
After some effort, Wu An and A Qing were ready. They stepped into the sea one on the left and one on the right, and under the worried gazes of Lao Mai and Xiao Mai, their figures disappeared into the sea in a flash.
With a wetsuit and a diving mask, he can easily open his eyes and see the seabed. Whether it's an illusion or not, he can always easily spot abalone.
past.
With a shovel, he quickly and accurately scooped and pried the abalone, sending it flying. He then grabbed it and tossed it into the net, moving on to the next one.
They shoveled as they walked.
One step, two steps.
It's the devil's pace.
He began to walk on the seabed.
He had almost reached his limit of holding his breath, so he quickly swam to the surface of the sea and even raised his hand to wave. Now that the sea was calm, people standing on the shore should be able to see him.
After catching his breath, he dived back into the sea.
He walked around casually.
No matter which way you go, you can easily find abalone. It seems that the diving suit, which is blessed with luck, has a built-in abalone-locking function.
In the vast ocean, digging and digging and digging.
Take a small risk.
Pry open a huge abalone.
I'm in the vast ocean, digging and digging and digging.
Pry open lots of abalone.
To exchange for money to spend.
As they dug, the net was soon full. Back on shore, Old Mai stared in disbelief at the sight of the net brimming with abalone: "How can there be so many abalone in this sea?"
As they were talking, Aqing swam ashore.
