Taking a closer look, it was a gray sea duck.
He was bold enough to snatch her razor clam.
Don't blame her for catching all the sea duck eggs in one go.
Where there are sea ducks, there must be sea duck eggs.
This is the first time I've encountered it.
Let’s tie up the sea duck first.
When Chu Xuan thought of it, he immediately did it.
Tie the sea duck's legs and beak tightly, jam its wings together so that it can't fly, and put it in the backpack.
Mu Chenze looked surprised, "Today is another lucky day."
Even if there are no good products in the tide pool for a while, if you have this sea duck, you can still gain a lot by picking up some sea duck eggs and catching some king razor clams.
Chu Xuan continued to spread salt, "I guess there's more than one sea duck around here. I'll go look for them nearby after I finish driving around."
Don't expect Mu Chenze, after all, wearing such expensive clothes, if it gets scratched, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Mu Chenze hummed as a response.
Half an hour later, the two of them had caught 80 king razor clams.
"Chu Xuan, go take a look at the tide pool. Leave the salt shaker behind and I'll catch the razor clam king here."
"good."
Chu Xuan handed over the salt shaker and walked toward the tide pool with the bucket in hand.
When I got there, I smiled optimistically, there were very few goods.
A dozen tide pools were fished side by side, and only two conchs, a few kilograms of blue-scaled fish, a few small clams, and small crabs were caught, and nothing else.
It didn't take much time.
Let go of the small clams and crabs.
Chu Xuan returned to the place where he caught the razor clam king and put down the barrel.
Mu Chenze looked over and said, "There is nothing in the tide pool today! But it doesn't matter. If you catch more razor clams, you can still sell them for money."
"Okay." At this moment, another sea duck came over to grab the razor clam. The razor clam actually went into its belly, but was caught by Chu Xuan, tied up and put in a basket on his back. "We both have one sea duck each."
Mu Chenze smiled and accepted it directly.
More than an hour later, the tide immediately rose, and Mu Chenze shouted to Chu Xuan to get ashore quickly.
When they reached the shore, they checked the number of king razor clams.
208 only.
What a great harvest!
If you sell it to the dock, you can get it for 208 yuan. If you take it to the city, you can get it for at least 300 yuan.
Naturally, Mu Chenze will take him to the city early tomorrow morning.
Mu Chenze looked at the fishing products on the shore, while Chu Xuan went to check around.
No other sea ducks were found, but 20 sea duck eggs were found and put into the backpack.
She and Mu Chenze each had 10.
Half an hour later, they returned to the village and took their belongings to their homes.
Chu Xuan returned home, said hello to everyone, and continued to work overtime in the evening to take care of the food, stewed sea duck, fried sea duck eggs, and fried blue-scaled fish.
As for the two conchs, they are not enough to fill the gap between teeth, so I will keep them first.
The crowd cheered.
Everyone said that Chu Xuan was lucky to catch the sea.
Chu Xuan smiled calmly and did not mention catching the razor clam king.
Two ovens of grilled fish fillets have been cooked, and lunch has been prepared.
Chu Xuan washed her face and hands, changed into clean clothes, and invited everyone to have lunch.
Chicken nuggets stewed with potatoes, chicken soup mixed with rice, each person got two pieces of lard residue, it was so delicious!
Everyone's mouths were full of oil after eating.
After eating, Chu Xuan felt more energetic and went back to the house to take a lunch break.
At half past two, Chu Xuan woke up and took over from Miao Dacui to look at the oven. The others had already finished killing the fish and went back to rest.
Miao Dacui went home to rest obediently. Only when she had a good rest could she work better and earn money.
Only the Chu Xuan sister and brother are left in the family.
Chu Feng moved a wooden bench and sat next to his sister, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, how about going to sea today? It's not just the ones you brought back, right? Did Brother Chenze go?"
Chu Xuan responded while putting firewood in the oven, "He went. Today's harvest was good. We caught 208 king razor clams together. He will take them to the city to sell them early tomorrow morning. It is estimated that he can sell them for more than 300 yuan."
Chu Feng looked admiring, "You two are great!"
"You're great too! You made lunch for everyone and helped me do the laundry while I was asleep. Didn't you delay your homework?"
"No." Chu Feng glanced at Chu Xuan's watch, "Sister, can you buy me a watch too?"
Chu Xuan held his forehead, his little brother had improved a lot in this life, but his habit of asking for things had also improved a lot.
"When you successfully enter the fourth grade, I will buy you a watch."
"That's great! Sister, you are so kind! I have already mastered Chinese and Mathematics in the first volume of the second grade. I will start studying the second volume today, and I will start studying the first volume of the third grade in August. In mid-August..."
Chu Xuan praised, "The study plan is well done. Hurry up and implement it."
"yes."
Chu Feng ran back to the bedroom to read.
At this moment, Qin Mahua and Fu Qing had returned home and saw Sea Duck, Sea Duck Egg and King Razor Clam.
Before they could ask, Mu Chenze took the initiative to explain, "Chu Xuan caught the razor clams from the sea. She asked me to go to the market to sell them tomorrow. The sea duck and sea duck eggs were given to our family by Chu Xuan to express her gratitude. .”
Qin Mahua pinched Mu Chenze's ears and said, "Now that you are capable, you can help Xiaoxuan sell some goods and you want her to express her gratitude? I will bring them back to her when I go to work in the afternoon."
Mu Chenze grimaced in pain. He was an adult, and his mother still pulled his ears. "Mom, let go first and listen to me."
Only then did Qin Mahua let go, "Go ahead! Let's see what you can come up with!"
Mu Chenze rubbed his ears, "She said, if you don't accept it, give me half of the razor clam king's dividends. That's more than a hundred yuan, and I'm embarrassed to ask for it. That's why I accepted it. Mom, if you If you feel bad, why don’t you make her a set of clothes? I remember you have two small pieces of floral cloth of different colors..."
"That's a good suggestion!" Qin Mahua looked at Fu Qing and said kindly, "I'll make it for you too. You and Xiaoxuan use different colors."
Fu Qing happily said, "Thank you, mother! When can we start making it? Can I help you cut it?"
"Just now! I'm not sleepy anyway."
"Okay."
Mu Chenze didn't say anything anymore. All he wanted to do was to wait for his mother to give Chu Xuan clothes.
In the room, Qin Mahua was arranging clothes and chatting with her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Xiao Xuan's biological mother is not around. In fact, I wanted to accept her as my goddaughter, but the fortune teller said that I have no daughter's life, and whoever I accept will be unlucky. So when Xiao Xuan privately proposed to accept me as my godmother, I declined. What a pity!"
"Mom, if you don't recognize her as your daughter-in-law, you can treat her as your daughter-in-law. You can make more clothes for her in the future."
There is a saying, "Pay it off" without saying it, and by the way, she will also take advantage of it.
Isn’t this just a blessing today?
Qin Mahua thought her daughter-in-law was right, "That's it! By the way, I'll make a dress for Xiaofeng together, and you can help choose a piece of fabric."
"good."
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Mahua bought out two women's floral dresses. Chu Xuan's dress was a pink one with a light blue base.
As for Chu Feng’s, it hasn’t been made yet.
Qin Mahua was a little tired and lay down on the kang, "My dear, I will go to work later, please tell Xiaoxuan!"
Take a break first.
"Okay. I'll go first. Can I bring this skirt to Xiao Xuan?"
"good."
Pay off your youth, don’t feel tired, put on a skirt and go out.
When Mu Chenze heard his mother complaining that she was tired, he hurried forward and rubbed his back and shoulders.
With such a sensible son, most of Qin Mahua's fatigue disappeared.
"Mom, do I want to discuss something with you? Be mentally prepared first and don't be scared."
Qin Mahua looked wary, "What's the matter?"
