Chapter 508: Firecrackers 1, Gold 2
Jiang Chunlan was so happy to hear Fu Wan's words that she smiled.
"I told you, these oysters are really plump. I pried them up at the beach early this morning and caught a whole basin of them!"
November is the time when oysters are in full bloom. Many people think that oysters are just raw mussels, but they are not.
The scientific name of oysters is oyster, which is one of the most common shellfish in the sea.
The flesh of this shellfish is incredibly rich and smooth, earning it the nickname "sea milk." While oysters resemble oysters, they are not as large. Furthermore, the shells of these oysters are incredibly thin and brittle, making them difficult to remove from the reef, shell and flesh intact.
Therefore, fishermen usually take a basin or a small bucket with a hammer to crack open the oyster shells, and then use a spoon or a knife to scrape the oyster meat into the basin.
This can reduce the loss of water in the oysters, and some fishermen even eat them raw while digging. As long as there is no mud or sand, eating them raw will give you a better taste of the sea.
The oyster meat can be brought back and used to make pancakes or soup.
If you ask why it is not sold, the taste of this thing is slightly worse than oysters, and the price is also lower than oysters.
More importantly, there may only be a few oysters in a pound, but a pound of sea clams requires a large basin.
In the past, Jiang Chunlan would definitely exchange it for some money, but now, she didn't care about those few cents, so she simply split it in two and brought a big bowl to Ye Xiaocui's house.
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it!"
Jiang Chunlan is very proud. The fact that her hard work is liked by the children is the greatest reward for her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chunlan said goodbye to Ye Xiaocui and the others and went home with Fu Liang.
Fu Wan also quickly washed herself from head to toe before she lay down on the bed with peace of mind.
She had never felt her bed was so comfortable. Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu also knew that she was tired. After washing up, she climbed onto the bed quietly and fell asleep.
She had a dreamless night, and when Fu Wan opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Although it was early winter, the sunlight shone into the room through the window, making the whole room warm.
Fu Wan got dressed and went out, just in time to meet Fu Ming coming back with the motorcycle keys.
"Awan, are you awake? Mom said breakfast is on the table, hurry up and eat."
Fu Wan nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Brother, you're up so early?"
Fu Mingcai didn't want to reveal that early this morning, he brought some oyster pancakes, sent Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu to school, and also sent breakfast to Qin An Ning.
Thinking of Qin An Ning's happy expression, Fu Ming walked with the wind.
Fu Wan couldn't understand Fu Ming's smugness, so she brushed her teeth and quickly ate breakfast. As soon as she finished, Boss Fu strode into the courtyard with a smile.
"Awan, Aming, the new ship has arrived at the dock. I'm going to get the firecrackers, you guys hurry over!"
The speed of the shipyard is really not exaggerated. The final payment was just received yesterday morning, and the new ship arrived at the dock today.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan took a box of matches from the kitchen and followed Fu Ming to the dock.
Before she reached the dock, she saw a group of people from afar.
"Oh my, this new boat is really impressive! It's been a while since anyone in our village bought a new boat!"
"That's right. Everyone buys second-hand boats, either made of wood or iron. Look at this new boat, it looks different and looks very luxurious!"
When Fu Wan and her sister arrived, Li Youchuan felt like he had seen a savior.
"Comrade Fu, Comrade Fu!"
Everyone in this village has the surname Fu. If Li Youchuan's voice hadn't sounded familiar, Fu Wan would have almost missed him being surrounded by people.
"Comrade Li, why did you come here in person?"
Fu Ming pulled him out of the crowd, and Li Youchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Damn it, in this low-degree weather, he was sweating from all the questions from the villagers.
How much does this ship cost? Can I go up and take a look? How long does it take to build a ship?
There was a lot of chatter, and even a few aunts pulled him aside to ask if he had a partner.
My God, he is already in his thirties and his daughter is already in elementary school!
"Oh, I was thinking of coming here for good luck, and since the factory isn't busy today, I came here with my colleagues."
So that's how it is. Fu Wan was also embarrassed.
She smiled and said, "The uncles and aunts in our village are all quite welcoming and don't have any bad intentions."
Li Youchuan nodded. This was indeed the case. He said that no one could get on the boat, and as for the random questions he asked him, they were just casual conversation.
It's like this in the countryside. Li Youchuan has been working in the factory for a long time, and sometimes he misses the warm greetings from the villagers.
But he didn't expect the greetings to be so intense, and he was a little unable to adapt to it at first.
"Here they come, firecrackers are coming!"
Boss Fu took a pack of small firecrackers from home, and then thought about it and ran to a small shop to buy a roll of big ones.
Ye Xiaocui, Jiang Chunlan and Fu Liang were digging oysters on the beach. When they saw the noise, they ran over.
"Light the fire, light the fire!"
"Set off firecrackers, set off firecrackers!"
The children playing on the beach all came running over. The firecrackers that were only lit during the New Year were their stimulant.
Seeing the firecrackers had arrived, Fu Wan handed the matches to Fu Lao Da. Fu Lao Da was stunned for a moment, "A Wan, you don't want to light it?"
Fu Wan waved her hand, "What's so fun about lighting firecrackers? You guys light them and I'll just watch."
Upon hearing this, Boss Fu took the match and wanted to light it himself, but his eyes glanced at Village Chief Fu who was staring at him eagerly. After thinking for a moment, he handed the match over again.
"Uncle Village Chief, how about you have some?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Fu's eyes lit up and his face was full of eagerness to try.
He pretended to be reserved and said, "That's not good. How about you order it yourself?"
Having said that, his eyes were almost glued to the matches.
Who wouldn't want to set off firecrackers for a new ship to bring good luck?
"Oh, if you don't want to order, I really ordered it?"
Boss Fu smiled and took out a match. Fu Wan stood by and watched Boss Fu teasing the old village chief.
"What do you want to order? I really want to order!"
Village chief Fu snatched the matches and walked to the firecrackers, not forgetting to drive away the children running around with a stern face.
"Children, get out of here quickly. If the firecrackers go off, they'll set your clothes on fire!"
The children screamed twice when they heard this, then turned around and ran into the crowd.
Seeing the children running away, Village Chief Fu took out a match and lit it. The moment the fuse was lit, the children covered their ears.
"When firecrackers go off, there's a fortune!"
"Go sailing to sea from now on, may everything go smoothly and safely!"
Following a few calls from Village Chief Fu, the villagers also began to speak auspicious words to Fu Lao Da's family.
This is the warmth of rural life. The smoke from the firecrackers filled the entire dock. Just as Li Youchuan was explaining to Fu Wan and the others how to maintain the boat, Fu Shi came running from the village entrance.
"Awan, there are a few people at the village entrance who say they're looking for you!"
