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

They got down to work right away. The three of them took their tools and started opening the blind boxes.

Fu Ming became anxious when he saw that no one gave him tools.

"Give me a tool, I want to try it too!"

Ye Xiaocui was still concerned about Fu Ming's legs, but when Fu Wan saw her brother's anxious look, she directly handed the tools in her hand to him.

It’s better to be busy. Fu Ming has been lying in the house for so many days. If he doesn’t find something to do, he will easily become depressed.

The four of them started opening the oysters. The shells of oysters are hard and sharp, but it would be much easier if you were good at opening them and just found the opening and pried it open.

But after working for a few minutes, there was a small pile of oyster shells at the feet of the four people, but they still didn't see a single oyster pearl.

"Oh, what a pity! If I didn't open it, I could just sell it to Fu San and make some money."

Ye Xiaocui felt a little regretful, as the basin in front of her was already half full of oyster meat.

"It's okay, Mom. We'll eat the oysters ourselves!"

Fu Ming was so busy that sweat broke out on his forehead. Seeing Ye Xiaocui's face full of regret, he simply washed the oyster meat in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

People living by the sea are used to eating it directly without dipping it in soy sauce or anything like that. As for the mustard of later generations, they have never seen it before.

"Ouch!"

Fu Ming was chewing the oyster meat in his mouth when he felt something hard hitting his teeth. Then, under the fixed gazes of several people, he spat out a pearl the size of a peanut.

"Hey, there really is one!"

Fu Ming was so happy that his face beamed with joy, and he held the pearl and looked at it from left to right.

Fu Liang also looked at the pearl with envy, and his hands moved faster.

"I want to drive to Pearl, too!"

This time, Ye Xiaocui was no longer worried about wasting the oyster meat. Apart from anything else, she was afraid that the two pearls today were worth the money for the oysters.

Fu Ming looked at the pearl from left to right, unable to let it go. Fortunately, he did not chew it too hard, so there was no obvious mark on the surface of the pearl.

"Awan, I'll keep this for you."

Fu Ming carefully handed the pearl in his hand to Fu Wan. He knew that the family's income now depended entirely on Fu Wan, and as a brother he could only keep his gratitude in his heart.

Fu Wan didn't bother to be polite and just put it away. "I'll ask Uncle Fu if he knows anyone who can sell the pearls to buy meat for our family!"

Ye Xiaocui disagreed somewhat, "We have fish and meat at home every day, why buy meat? Keep these pearls and make some jewelry with them when the situation calms down!"

"Or else, you can save it for Lingling to keep in the bottom of the box for the future!"

Although 1985 was not as turbulent as the s, ordinary people would be happy for a long time just to have a new hair ornament, let alone jewelry.

As for the yellow and white things, none of them can be seen. What there is is hidden by each family and they dare not show it to others.

Fu Wan still looked down on the small beads in her hand. Oyster beads were far less precious than Melo beads. If she wanted to keep them, she would only keep a few of them. There was no problem in selling these small ones.

As they were talking, Ye Xiaocui also opened two small pearls, and Fu Wan and Fu Ming also opened three in succession.

As for Fu Liang, who had bad luck, there was not a single one.

"It's okay, it's bright. If you don't get any, I'll give you these two."

Ye Xiaocui treated Fu Liang as her own child, and the two pearls were not a problem.

"Aunt, no need. Things in the sea are about fate. If I don't have it, it means my heart is not sincere enough. Tomorrow, my mother and I will go to burn incense to Mazu, and she will definitely bless me!"

Fu Wan was amused by Fu Liang's confident look, but the next moment, Fu Liang felt the round lump in the oyster meat in his hand.

His hands were shaking with excitement, and he accidentally cut a small wound on the oyster shell.

But this did not prevent him from carefully taking out the round lump. It turned out to be an oyster pearl as big as the one Fu Wan had obtained before, and it was also faintly shining with pink light.

"I told you! Goddess Mazu still favors me!"

Fu Liang was excited and kept admiring the pearl.

Now that everyone has opened an oyster, they are even more motivated.

Before one o'clock in the morning, all the oysters brought back from the yard were opened.

Fu Wan put the pearls together and counted them. The four of them had opened a total of twenty-nine pearls.

But the oyster meat alone probably weighs about 60 to 70 kilograms.

Ye Xiaocui was suddenly in trouble. What should she do with the oysters? The oyster meat needed sunlight to dry.

At this moment, the sky is covered with clouds again, and the stars in the sky are covered by clouds, making it impossible to tell what the weather will be like tomorrow.

Fu Wan washed the pearls in her hand and said, "Mom, how about using these oysters to make oyster sauce?"

Oyster sauce is a traditional seasoning, and oyster meat is also the main ingredient. Adding a little oyster sauce to noodles or meat will make the flavor even better.

It can only be the.

Several people cleaned up the things in the yard, and Fu Wan took out five pearls and the money for the fish that Fu San had paid her before.

"Brother Liang, these five pearls are yours. If you want to sell them, leave them with me first. If you need them for other purposes, take them back."

"And here's the bill Uncle Fu gave me yesterday. We made a total of 263 yuan on our last trip out to sea. After paying taxes and gas, we each got 128 yuan."

Fu Liang looked at the stack of money in Fu Wan's hand and waved his hands. "Awan, I'm a rough man and can only use a little strength. You were lucky last time we went out to sea. It was you who went into the sea, so I did some of the strength.

Just give me fifty, and as for the pearls, just give me two. Sell one for me, and I'll take the remaining one back to my mother."

After saying this, he scratched his head embarrassedly. His mother had never seen pearls before.

Fu Wan knew Fu Liang was an honest man, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to work with him before. But she wasn't a landlord, so she couldn't do anything to exploit others.

What's more, Fu Liang's family is also in financial difficulty. They are one of the few families in the village that still live in a mud brick house.

Earth bricks are bricks made from special clay, and Fujia Village used to use earth bricks in the early years. The houses built with those large earth bricks are not as strong as blue bricks, and they are prone to leaking if it rains for a long time.

"Aliang, just take it if I give it to you. If you don't take it, don't come to my house next time."

Ye Xiaocui said without turning her head while cleaning the oyster meat.

Fu Liang had no choice but to accept it, but he only took one hundred and a pearl, then ran back home as if he was being chased by a ghost.

Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui had no choice but to pack up the remaining things and go back to the house to sleep.

The noise of Fu Liang returning home woke up Aunt Jiang who was at home. She lit a kerosene lamp and came out.

"Aliang, are you back?"

Fu Liang responded in a low voice, then stuffed the money in his hand to Jiang Chunlan.

"Mom, keep this money. When we save more, we'll build a brick house!"

Jiang Chunlan was startled by the stack of money in her hand. "Where did this money come from? Did you do something bad?"

As he said this, he was about to find a broom to hit him.

"Hey mom, this is what I earned last time I went out to sea with Awan. Please keep it!"
