Gu Anran stared in astonishment as she watched Wu An dig out a razor clam with a single shovel stroke: "Can you dig razor clams like that?"
Aqing retorted, "Sister-in-law, otherwise how do we dig?"
Gu Anran took a mineral water bottle from the bucket, which was filled with white salt. She sprayed it into a hole, and then the razor clam crawled out.
Gu Anran reached out and grabbed the razor clam.
It looks very relaxed.
Gu Anran said, "Actually, the main problem is finding the clam holes, but... there are so many clam holes here, we don't even need to look for them. How come?"
Wu An smiled and said, "Maybe the razor clams are having a big meeting."
In fact.
Perhaps it was because he was here, and the tools that boosted his luck made these razor clams restless, which is why they revealed these holes that exposed them.
Aqing took the mineral water bottle and tried it herself. Then she squatted down and looked closely at the changes in the hole. Instead of the razor clam crawling out, a jet of water shot out of the hole.
Caught off guard, Aqing was sprayed in the face. The razor clam then popped up, and in his anger, he grabbed it, breaking it in half. He was left with only half a clam in his hand.
Gu Anran laughed heartily: "Sometimes they squirt water out, not just razor clams, but actually clams do too."
Wu An nodded.
He only knew this much, but he and Aqing used brute force to dig for razor clams, and this was the first time they had used salt to get them out.
Actually, it's not a skill unique to Gu Anran; most fishermen do it this way.
Aqing was furious, so she picked up a sand shovel and started digging. She quickly dug out the escaped razor clams and threw them forcefully into the bucket.
At first, Gu Anran used salt to sizzle the razor clams.
later.
They found this method too inefficient. In addition, the beach had just receded, making it quite moist and soft, which made it very easy to dig. Wu An and A Qing dug in with their shovels and found at least two razor clams, and sometimes three or four.
Just as Wu An said, these razor clams are having a big meeting.
She simply picked up a sand shovel and started digging.
The three chased the tide, moving forward a little as the tide receded, until they stopped when the tide rose again just before dark.
Putting aside the harvest for now, Wu An glanced at his luck score and was surprised to find he still had 18 points.
We can't use it all.
We can't possibly use it all.
As his luck value cap increases, his daily luck value also rises accordingly, making beachcombing at the beach definitely not an option.
Even if he spends a whole day at the beach, he can only use up 20 luck points at most. Even with A Qing and Gu Anran, it's only 60 points.
Even if you include your older brother and sister-in-law, and even your father, it will only consume a little over a hundred points of luck.
We still need to get a boat as soon as possible.
We need to expand and strengthen our operations, building one ship, two ships, three ships. Otherwise, it would be quite frustrating if we couldn't use up all the luck points the system gave us.
The three of them walked uphill. Gu Anran carried a bucket in each hand and walked in front, while Wu An and A Qing each carried a bucket and pulled a snakeskin bag with their other hands. They walked a little slower and fell behind.
Aunt Gu walked over from the side and teased, "Young man, you seem a bit weak."
“My Anran is half a street ahead of you.”
"You're not up to par; you need to get some practice."
Because it was dark and they were quite far away, the older woman didn't notice how much stuff the two of them were carrying. Only when she got closer did she see what they were carrying and exclaimed, "All these bags and packages! What did you dig up?"
"Razor clams, so big?"
"Could it be that the burlap sack is also full of razor clams?"
"My God."
"You guys went to the sea to buy goods, didn't you?"
Aunt Gu came over to chat, actually wanting to show off that Xiao Chao had dug up a bucket of clams today, but... she ended up being completely outdone.
Gu Anran dug up two buckets of razor clams, not to mention Wu An and A Qing had a whole snakeskin bag full of them in addition to their two buckets.
That must weigh several hundred pounds!
Gu Anran smiled and said, "It's Wu An who discovered a good spot, otherwise I wouldn't have dug as many clams as you, Auntie."
Aunt Gu usually takes good care of her, and she doesn't want to show off.
But her words still made Aunt Gu feel a little uncomfortable.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
Arriving at the roadside, Gu Anran put the bucket into the car, unlocked it, and asked, "Get in together, I'll take you to the dock."
Wu An shook his head: "We can just walk back."
"Stop talking nonsense. It will probably take you a long time to walk back. It's just a matter of me twisting the accelerator."
Aren't you tired?
Wu An chuckled: "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Gu Anran rolled her eyes. Unconsciously, they became more comfortable with each other.
We arrived at the dock.
Old Xie was lying on a recliner, fanning himself, with a radio next to him listening to music. When he heard the sound of a motorcycle, he subconsciously opened his eyes and looked over.
Other vendors also peeked out to look.
The motorcycle stopped directly in front of the door. Old Xie stood up, smiled, and greeted, "You're here."
Wu An jumped out of the car: "We dug up a lot of razor clams today."
Old Xie walked to the car, picked up two and looked at them: "Let me see, wow, they're both this big?"
Wu An said, "There are also some smaller ones."
"I trust the goods you dug up, no need to sort them." Old Xie smiled broadly, lowering his voice slightly: "It's 21 yuan per jin today."
Wu An nodded.
Last time it was only 20 yuan per jin, but this time it's an extra yuan. Don't underestimate just one yuan; it might bring in two or three hundred yuan more.
The surrounding vendors, having nothing else to do, came over to take a look.
Old Chen's face darkened, and he looked at him with hostility.
Wu An noticed his gaze, turned his head and smiled at him. Although the two did not speak, they had already had a “harmonious” exchange.
Old Chen felt that Wu An was probably deliberately trying to embarrass him.
Wu An said, "Don't say 'maybe,' it is."
Gu Anran caught about a hundred catties of razor clams this time, which was enough for her to use at the stall, so Wu An simply sold all the razor clams to Lao Xie.
The total was 245 jin (122.5 catties), he kept 5 jin (2.5 catties), and got 5040 yuan.
He gave Aqing 500 yuan and 2 jin of razor clams, and took 3 jin for himself. He watched Gu Anran ride away on her bicycle, then carried the plastic bag home.
He put the razor clams down and rode his motorcycle straight to town.
It was already 7:30 pm when we arrived in town.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, President Qin personally greeted them, and Gao Qiangqi, Lao Fang, and Lao Mai were also present.
Eat and drink well.
Gao Qiangqi gave him a USB drive containing the recorded surveillance video. When President Qin learned that Wu An had important business to attend to, he immediately lent out his office so that Wu An could view the surveillance footage.
There is a lot of surveillance.
Fortunately, he encountered Lin Hu at that time, and there was a specific time period. He only needed to watch the video during that time period, which was only about half an hour in total.
With the added speed adjustment, if something is discovered, it won't be long.
Within just half an hour, they made a significant discovery: one camera captured Lin Hu walking toward the fishing boat, and another camera captured Lin Hu leaving.
Although the surveillance footage was somewhat blurry, Lin Hu's expression was clearly flustered. He was carrying something in his hand when he walked toward the fishing boat, but it was gone when he left.
“It’s certain he’s behind this, but it’s probably not enough to convict him based on these two videos… But… I didn’t intend to convict him anyway.” Wu An muttered, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
He was in a great mood.
I copied the video twice, put the USB drive away, and left the office. I overheard Gao Qiangqi and Lao Mai talking about night fishing.
Wu An had a sudden thought. He still had some luck points left, and Gao Qiangqi had helped him a lot this time, so he had to show his appreciation.
