A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 55 Extra Large Blue Crab
As the eldest son in the family, Yun Chendong was much more mature and responsible than his younger brothers, so he helped raise almost all of his younger brothers.

Taking care of Yun Jiao was naturally a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, he was very meticulous and considerate. While Yun Jiao was eating, he untangled her messy hair and tied it into two black braids, which were then coiled up at the back of her head.

The small glutinous rice balls looked even more appealing.

He's a better male mother than Yun Linhai is a father.

With only boys in the family, Yun Linhai, the father, had never learned how to braid a little girl's hair.

Ever since Jiaojiao arrived, Yun Chendong has been farsighted enough to learn how to braid hair.

Sometimes, while watching Shen Yunlian and the others braid their hair, during the time when the corn was growing ears, he would practice with corn ears when he went to the fields.

When Yun Jiao's hair grows longer, it will come in handy.

"Big brother eats too."

Yun Jiao held up the steamed bun in her hand.

Yun Chendong shook his head: "No need, I've already eaten."

"arrive!"

An excited voice came from ahead, coming from Yunlinhe.

Looking over, Yun Chendong was astonished to find that this seemingly ordinary island was hiding such a delicacy as abalone, and quite a lot of it at that.

After the boat was moored, Yun Chendong first pried the sea turtle, which was struggling to crawl out of the boat, back into the sea before carrying Yun Jiao onto the island.

The sea turtles happily dived into the sea to forage for food.

They followed the same route and went to check out the reef that had previously been covered with abalone.

"Hey, there are some bigger ones too, they must have climbed up after the tide came in."

But not many. I didn't catch the ones that looked too small. I estimated that I could catch about two or three pounds of the slightly larger ones.

Yun Chendong glanced at the scene, but instead of joining his father and uncle in the fun, he led Yun Jiao to climb onto the other side of the reef.

"Jiaojiao, don't run around here. I saw a patch of sea pheasant feet and I'm going to pry some off."

Yun Chendong looked at the patch of sea pheasant feet growing on the high reef and put Yun Jiao down.

Sea chicken feet, scientifically known as *Gnaphalium affine*, typically grow on relatively steep reefs.

Yun Chendong was skilled and quickly climbed up the rocks.

After watching for a while, Yun Jiao got a little bored and started looking for things around her.

She crouched on the rocks, staring intently into the crevices between them.

And sure enough, she caught something.

She grabbed the large blue crab that had slipped out from the crack.

A blue crab bigger than her face!

Yun Jiao's eyes lit up; she had never seen such a large blue crab since she turned into a human.

The crab was still baring its teeth and claws when it was caught, trying to pinch her with its big pincers.

Yun Jiao slapped him across the face.

"be honest!"

Blue Crab: …………

The shell of this large blue crab has turned a bit black.

Yun Jiao threw it into her small bucket, and good heavens, it almost filled the bottom of the bucket.

The sight of such a large blue crab gave Yun Jiao confidence, so she picked up her small bucket and started searching again.

Yun Chendong, who was prying open the sea chicken's feet, glanced down and saw that Yun Jiao was looking for something and wasn't running around, so he felt relieved and continued prying.

Meanwhile, Yun Jiao's luck didn't continue after catching a large blue crab.

Later, we only caught two orchid crabs weighing about three ounces each, along with some mantis shrimp and prawns.

However, she did manage to find a small piece of spicy snail.

The snails here are much bigger than those in the village.

She wasn't greedy; she focused on picking the snails, taking the larger ones off and throwing them into a small bucket.

"Jiaojiao."

It was the voices of my father and uncle.

Yun Jiao stood up and replied, "Father, my older brother and I are here!"

The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and the wind was too loud for Yunlinhai and the others to hear for a moment, so they continued shouting.

Yun Jiao continued to respond with great patience.

After responding three times, Yun Chendong above said, "We're here."

Yunlin Haimen also came over here, and finally saw people.

"Where's Jiaojiao? What's up there?"

Yun Chendong: "Jiaojiao is down there, and there are quite a few sea pheasant feet on it."

"Father, Uncle~" Yun Chendong had already pried off quite a few sea chicken feet, and seeing that the waves were getting closer and closer, he simply went down.

"so much?"

Yun Linhai and the others glanced at the sea pheasant feet in his bucket: "They're way too fat."

Not only were they fat, but their flesh was also very long, as long as their fingers.

"Why do these sea chicken feet look different from the ones I used to pry open?"

"It's different, this meat must taste really good."

"Jiaojiao caught so many snails, and a few crabs and shrimp too, that's amazing."

Yun Jiao smiled brightly, her eyes crinkling.

"Father, what a huge crab!"

She pointed to her little bucket.

The big crab was at the very bottom, covered by other things.

Yun Linhai and the others didn't see it clearly at first glance, but after Yun Jiao reminded them, they used fire tongs to pry it open, and the huge blue crab was exposed.

"Ouch, fuck me!"

When Yun Linhe saw the enormous blue crab, his eyes widened and he couldn't help but swear.

The other two didn't look much better.

"This...this big blue crab?"

Yunlinhe: "Take it out and let me see."

The large blue crab was caught and was still very lively, baring its teeth and claws.

Those big pliers.

Yun Linhe couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I really have never seen such a big blue crab in my life. It must weigh at least three pounds!"

Yun Linhai was also excitedly rubbing his hands together: "So big, so big... how did it grow like this?"

Yun Chendong: "How did you catch it? You weren't caught in the trap, were you?"

Those big pliers could really do something terrible if they clamped you down.

Yun Jiao put her hands on her hips: "It dares!"

It's also a bit fierce.

However, Yun Chendong and his friends found it adorable.

"No, these blue crabs need to be kept separately, lest they get crushed."

Dead crabs are worthless, but they would be heartbroken if such a big one were crushed to death.

It deserves to be enjoyed all by itself.

Yun Jiao's small bucket was requisitioned.

"Let's go to the seaweed patch we saw earlier."

Before going to the seaweed patch, they also took a look at the place where they had previously picked up prawns.

There are still prawns, but not as many as the first time I came.

But that didn't stop them from happily picking it up.

There were also some mantis shrimp.

After picking them up, we headed towards the seaweed patch.

A large patch of seaweed lay fallen on the rocky beach.

This is a very long and wide seaweed, over a meter in length.

Yun Linhai and the others were all grinning from ear to ear.

"This is such a big patch of seaweed, let's take some back with us."

Kelp is cheap and heavy.

If you want to sell them, you have to dry them first.

That would be too much trouble.

Yun Linhai and the others didn't expect to make money from this stuff; they mainly wanted to take it back for their own consumption, or to add some vegetables to their meals.

The kelp that is still growing is black, with wavy edges.

One sheet of seaweed can be rolled into a large ball.

Three men worked together, cutting seaweed.

Yun Jiao, meanwhile, was searching for something not far from them, carrying a small shovel and a pair of fire tongs.

She turned over the seaweed, revealing what had been hidden by it.

What a huge bunch of mussels!
