Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Fu Wan agreed.

“Yes, let’s eat first, brother, I won’t sell those shells, and they won’t run away.

I'll go get them in the yard after dinner. It'll be a good time to open the shells while I digest my meal. After I'm done opening these scallops, I can go back to sleep!"

She slept all day today, but she wasn't sleepy at all now. Not only could she open all the scallops in the house, she could even open a few hundred kilograms of them.

Boss Fu also agreed. He picked up the two pearls and returned them to Fu Wan and Tom.

Fu Ming had just picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks when he remembered something and couldn't help winking at Ye Xiaocui.

"Mom, it's a shame we didn't sell these scallops to Uncle San this afternoon, otherwise we would be regretting it now!"

Ye Xiaocui had no way of refutating this, and she was the one who most supported selling the scallops in the afternoon.

But she didn't expect that there were really pearls in these scallops!

The same goes for Fu Ming, even food can’t stop him from talking!

"The remaining scallops haven't opened yet. If there are no pearls, I wonder what you'll do with all that meat!"

"What can I do? I can just save the scallops for tomorrow!"

Stir-fried scallops, steamed scallops, cold scallops, and scallop stew.

Fu Ming didn’t believe that he couldn’t finish eating these scallops!

Fu Wan laughed as she listened. If she continued, Ye Xiaocui would get angry.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I was just saying this. It's not sold.

What my brother said makes sense. The meat in these large scallops is also quite large. We can save some for stewing soup later, and the rest can be dried. Then my uncle and A-Lin can take some back."

Ye Xiaocui's attention was instantly diverted and she nodded in agreement.

"Awan is right. The scallop meat is as big as an egg. If it were dried into scallops, it would be delicious for making soup in winter!"

When the scallop is opened, the meat inside is actually a bit similar to a fried egg, usually a ball of very sweet cylindrical meat wrapped in a skirt.

Normally, when steamed, they are all eaten directly. If dried, the villagers of Fujia Village generally have two ways to cook them.

One method is to directly dig out the scallop meat and dry it together with the skirt and meat ball. The other method is to separate the skirt from the meat ball and keep the skirt for eating.

As for the meat balls, take them out and boil them in clean water first, then wash them repeatedly several times and expose them to the sun. After the moisture is dried, the scallop meat will turn into golden, salty and fragrant dried scallops, which are commonly known as dried scallops.

Dried scallops can be stored for a longer time. Adding a little bit of it to steamed eggs or soup is not only nutritious but also delicious.

On weekdays, Ye Xiaocui uses ordinary scallops to dry scallops, and the dried scallops are about the size of peanuts. Now if she uses the meat of this large scallop to dry scallops, Ye Xiaocui estimates that the dried scallops will be as big as beer bottle caps.

Dried scallops, also called scallops

There were scallops hanging in front of them for after-dinner activities, so Fu Wan and the others ate a lot faster.

It usually takes me at least half an hour to eat dinner, but now I can finish it in less than fifteen minutes.

Although they ate quickly, everyone ate a lot.

There was little food left from the dinner, and all the bones and other items were left to Yuanbao Wangcai's group of dogs.

After dinner, Fu Wan took Jack and others to clean up the dishes, while Fu Ming went to the backyard with Boss Fu to catch all the scallops and drag them to the front.

As for Ye Xiaocui, she was responsible for finding tools to open the scallops. Not only did she need sharp tools like knives and scissors, but she also had to prepare a basin to hold the scallop meat.

"Awan, what are you going to do with those scallop shells?"

Ye Xiaocui gathered all the things and happened to see Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu each holding a clean scallop shell as a mask to play with.

Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Uncle San if anyone collects scallop shells. They can be made into buttons for clothes or polished into handicrafts, which should fetch some money."

"It can be sold for money. Can we sell the black butterfly shells we picked up?"

"That should be fine."

"That's great!"

When Ye Xiaocui heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.

The large scallops and the black clams picked by ourselves weigh at least 500 to 600 kilograms. Even if they are sold at one cent per kilogram, that’s 5 or 6 yuan!

Enough to buy almost ten kilograms of meat!

"When you calculate it this way, we're not actually losing out."

"It won't be a loss," Fu Wan said with a smile. "Don't worry too much, Mom. We have the scallops and shells, and the two pearls Tom and I have. Even if we can't open the remaining pearls, we've already made a profit."

Ye Xiaocui felt relieved after hearing this. Her daughter was right and there was no need for her to think too much.

As they were talking, Fu Ming and Boss Fu had already come over with the scallops they had caught. These scallops were kept in seawater. Fortunately, the temperature was not high in the past few days, so only a dozen of the hundreds of kilograms of scallops died.

Fu Ming was reluctant to throw away even the dead scallops, so he took a knife and opened them one by one to check them thoroughly.

What's more, when he checked the last scallop, he actually felt something hard.

Fu Ming took out the hard thing without saying a word, and was dumbfounded again when he saw it.

"Awan, please help me take a look. Why is this black? It can't be a round stone!"

Fu Wan looked up and was speechless.

"What kind of stone is this? It's a real pearl!"

And it is a pure black pearl!

Fu Ming became excited instantly when he heard this, and didn't care about the fishy smell of dead scallops on his hands. He immediately held it in his palm and observed it repeatedly.

"Hehe, it really is a black pearl!"

"Oh my, I'm so amazing! My sincerity must have touched Mazu, so she let me open a black one!"

Fu Ming couldn't stop smiling. These black pearls were really beautiful.

That kind of beauty is different from the noble feeling of Fu Wan's gold beads, and also different from the purity of Tom's white beads. Black pearls have a very rare sense of mystery. At first glance, they may look black, but after washing them and putting them together with white beads, you can feel their magical charm.

It's totally eye-catching!

Fu Wan took a look at the scallop shell from which Fu Ming had opened the pearl, and it turned out to be the black lipped oyster picked up on Bird's Nest Island.

So her hunch was correct, there were pearls in those black butterfly berries!

Fu Ming showed off his black pearl in front of everyone, even Yuanbao who was eating. He snatched the rice bowl from him and pulled him to admire his black pearl.

However, Yuanbao only had eyes for the delicious dinner. After sniffing the pearls in Fu Ming's hand and finding it uneatable, the dog pounced and buried its head in the food bowl.

Fu Ming was speechless at this unromantic family member. Jack and Robert were also very envious when they saw Fu Ming opened the pearl.

They were eager to try opening the scallops right away, but when they picked up the knife, they didn't know where to start because they didn't know how to open raw scallops.

Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui were originally fishermen, and they had experience in opening oyster and abalone pearls last year, so they were even more adept at opening scallops.

I saw them put on gloves, picked up the scallops, found a small knife and inserted it into the small hole at the tail of the scallop shell, then held the knife handle and circled it. After the masseter muscle in the scallop, that is, the scallop meat, was cut by the knife, the scallop in their hands naturally opened.
