Ever since Lin Changyu made public the secret recipe for making coconut oil and coconut paste, old coconuts that had been ignored in the past have instantly become a hot commodity, and tools such as stone grinders and rollers have doubled in value.
I heard that the stone-cutting and grinding masters in the town have broken their arms from exhaustion and are currently recuperating at home with a bamboo board wrapped around them.
People who can't buy tools have no choice but to go to the mountains and chisel rocks themselves.
The whole Qinshui County is buzzing all day long, either with the sound of chiseling stones or chopping coconuts. It has never been so lively.
The villagers in Xingfu Village followed Mrs. Shu's reminder and prepared the tools in advance. While the people in other villages were still crying about the stone mill, they were already boiling coconut oil in full swing.
People are hiding at home, so the beach is naturally empty. Looking around, there are only a few people on the huge beach, and a few small ones are like wild horses with their bridles pulled off. They are jumping and having fun on the beach without having to worry about being crowded.
Originally, according to Yan Yan's idea, they would not go to the places where everyone had stayed before. There must be no abalone in those places. It was better to walk along the beach to see if there were any new discoveries.
But they didn't take the initiative, but the fish and shrimps lined up to crawl in front of them. Now a group of lost crabs came, and then they found a bunch of clams that were full and basking in the sun.
Xu Ning had never seen this scene before, and she stared in shock, "Oh my god, are these crabs crazy? Why are they crawling on people's feet?"
Yang calmly patted the back of her hand as if she had been there before, "Hey, our family is just lucky. You will get used to it the more you see her."
Xu Ning stared at a few small ones in shock. Several people were picking up clams in the basket, grabbing handfuls, and their movements were calm and calm.
Well, she is out of touch.
Xu Ning took a deep breath to calm down, then neatly rolled up his sleeves and joined the team of collecting snails and crabs.
A few people walked and picked up all the way, moving at a snail's pace, and they walked more than a mile in half an hour.
Yan Yan looked at the pile of worthless clams in the basket, shook her little head, and firmly held the corner of Yang's clothes, "Second aunt, we can't pick any more. We are people who want to do big things, and we can't be fooled."
The little clam is confused."
Mrs. Yang chuckled and said, "Okay, we are people who are doing big things, so we won't pick this up. My second aunt will take you for a walk to see if you can find that kind of fish."
A group of people walked west along the flat sand for about two miles. Going forward was difficult because there were gravels everywhere. They had to be careful every step they took. If they were not careful, they would fall down.
Yang looked at the short arms and legs of the little ones and hesitated, "How about we go back and let your uncle come find them when he is free."
Xiaotuanzi shook his head, pointed at the large protruding rocks in the distance, and said with great expectation: "Let's go a little further. Let's go farther away and avoid going to places with rocks."
Yang hesitated, "But..."
"Second aunt, please." Xiaotuanzi shook the hem of her clothes and acted coquettishly to please her. Her soft little milky voice made people's hearts melt.
Yang was helpless, "I really can't do anything to you, come on, I'll hold you, let's walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Qing Feng, who was left out, didn't want to, so he hugged her thigh and asked aggrievedly: "What about me? Do you want me to be my sister?"
Yang: "..."
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have brought these naughty children out to play. She just couldn't handle it on her own!
At this time, Xu Ning stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, let me hold you. I'm very strong. It's not a problem to hold two or three babies."
As he spoke, he stretched out his left and right hands, picked up one in each hand, and grabbed Yan Yan and Qing Feng directly.
This wasn't the end yet. After hugging the two little ones, she hooked her hands at Qingsong and Qingbai, "There's still time on my back, which one of you will come?"
Qingsong shook his head, "I can go by myself, let my brother go."
So she had another baby on her back.
Xu Ning, who was holding three babies in her arms, was still walking as fast as flying, walking steadily and quickly step by step.
Yang, who was following her, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You really... don't eat a grain of rice for free. My sister-in-law will give you more rice when you go home in the evening, so let's eat two more bowls."
In this way, a few people walked through the bumpy road and arrived at the reef area pointed by Yan Yan.
This reef is much more dangerous than the one in front of Xingfu Village. Not to mention the steep terrain, because no one has set foot there, there are also many slippery seaweeds growing on top of the rocks. If you fall there, you can imagine the consequences.
This time Yang refused to let the kids run to the reef area no matter what, but couldn't bear Xiaotuanzi's pleas and finally decided to go over with Xu Ning to have a look.
Xu Ning grew up by the sea, has experience in fishing, and can swim, so he took the lead.
After just a few steps into the reef area, she covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my god, there are so many oysters hidden in the cracks of the rocks!"
Afraid that Yang and others would not understand, she also explained: "This thing is very valuable. Rich people like to eat it and say it is a great supplement!"
Xiaotuanzi looked in the direction of her finger, and his face turned red with excitement. There was a dense layer of oysters on the stone wall!
And not only on the stone in front of them, but also on the stones in front, back, left and right. They have dug into the oyster nest!
Although the wild oysters are not big in size, they are delicious in taste. Wouldn't it be delicious to pick up hundreds of them, wash them at home, and roast them on the fire?
Thinking of the sizzling and oily charcoal-grilled sea oysters, Xiaotuanzi couldn't hold back his saliva. If he hadn't promised Yang not to run around, he would have flown over by now.
"Second aunt, Aunt Xu Ning, let's pry the oysters first, instead of looking for abalone, let's bake the oysters tonight!"
The greedy cat Qingbai's eyes shone, "Are the grilled oysters delicious? Is the grilled squid delicious?"
"The grilled squid is spicy, springy and crispy; the oysters are fresh, tender and juicy. They are all delicious and I like them all!"
Xiaoduanzi sipped her saliva, saying that only fools make choices, so of course she wanted both!
Under Yan Yan's encouragement, the three young people had high expectations for roasted oysters. Although they could not pry the oysters themselves, they were not idle, waving their arms and cheering for Yang and Xu Ning excitedly.
.
Listening to the shouts of several small ones, the two oyster pryers were also full of energy. At first, they did not master the skills of prying oyster shells and kept making mistakes. Later, they gradually got better and became more and more energetic.
Xu Ning, in particular, moved very swiftly and changed several places in a short time. When he was in a trance, he suddenly looked up and found something floating in the sea in the distance.
From the appearance, it looks like a human being.
Xu Ning was so shocked that she put down her tools and ran to Yang: "Sister-in-law, look over there."
Yang looked up and was shocked, "Someone has fallen into the water? What should I do? Do I want to go down and rescue people? But I don't know how to swim. What if I fall into the sea?"
"My sister-in-law can't do it, but I can." Xu Ning put the pry knife into Yang's hand, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and carefully groped towards the seaside.

This book will be finished in the next few days. The author has gone home to sell sweet potatoes. See you again (‵□′)
