Chapter 85 Bionic Robot Zhang 3
Chapter 85 Bionic Robot Zhang 3
Most importantly, swimming crabs don't need to go into the deep sea or use fishing tools; you can just search and pick them up from the rocks in the shallows and take them home.
Of course, the most important thing is that the sea was not polluted in the 1980s, and seafood was plentiful.
They are not afraid of not being able to catch fish; what they fear most is finding a market for them.
"Xiao Feng, how many times have I told you? Sea crabs don't have much meat, and they're a hassle to eat. What are you doing picking them up?" Bai Haijian was a little angry when he saw Bai Haifeng pick up a few sea crabs when he wasn't looking.
"Haijian, where did you catch these crabs?" Qin Yingxue looked at the crabs in Xiao Haifeng's hand, each weighing a full half pound.
"Aunt Song, you..." Bai Haijian looked at Qin Yingxue with some confusion, "If Auntie wants to eat seafood, I'll try my luck this afternoon and see if I can catch any small yellow croakers or other meaty sea fish. Sea crabs don't have much meat..."
"I just like eating things without meat," Qin Yingxue interrupted him with a smile.
Bai Haijian opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he hesitated before saying, "If Auntie likes them, I'll go and catch a few this afternoon and bring them to you."
"Is it far from here? Can I go with you?" Qin Yingxue rubbed her hands excitedly, then asked a little shyly, "I've always bought them to eat before, I've never picked them up before. Do we need to go into the sea? How deep is it?"
Qin Yingxue acted like someone who had never seen the world, easily convincing Bai Haijian: "It's not far. I was searching for small fish and shrimp that had escaped the net near the reef. Nobody wanted the sea crabs even for two cents a pound. There were plenty of them near the reef."
Upon hearing that no one wanted the product even at two cents a pound, Qin Yingxue's first reaction was to be overjoyed.
She just searched the online store and found that a half-pound swimming crab was priced at sixty yuan per pound, which was only six mao per pound in 1980.
That's a huge price difference, and the quantity is enormous!
Qin Yingxue was thrilled and said to the Bai brothers, "You guys eat first, and then take me to catch sea crabs."
"it is good."
Upon hearing that Qin Yingxue wanted to eat sea crab, Bai Haijian didn't refuse. He stopped mending the fishing net, opened the lunchbox, and saw it filled with stir-fried eggs with soybean paste. The aroma was irresistible, and he couldn't help but swallow.
I gave my younger brother a lunchbox, and the two of us buried our heads in our food.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Yingxue typed "robot" into the mall.
Sure enough, many categories popped up: smart butlers, medical robots, educational robots, advanced intelligent robots, combat robots...
Qin Yingxue looked around and finally saw the bionic robot.
Bionic robots also come in two types: one is intelligent, which excels in everything from medicine and education to combat, and is truly all-around capable. Of course, except for giving birth.
Of course, the price was also quite shocking; Qin Yingxue counted it and estimated it to be between seven and ten figures.
Another type is the ordinary kind, which is a simple service-oriented bionic robot. It receives commands and follows them. Of course, it can also engage in ordinary combat; it can easily handle three or five large men.
Of course, the price is also considerable, requiring tens of thousands.
Qin Yingxue gritted her teeth and clicked to buy.
This money is necessary.
Qin Yingxue specifically chose a middle-aged man with dark skin and ordinary features, the kind who would be hard to spot in a crowd.
By the time Qin Yingxue was ready, the Bai brothers had already picked up their wooden buckets, looking ready to set off.
Qin Yingxue saw a dilapidated wooden bucket by the door, walked over and picked it up since it didn't affect its use.
Bai Haijian hesitated for a moment, then said nothing, leading Qin Yingxue towards the reef with Xiao Haifeng in one hand.
Due to the tides, the seawater, which was originally thigh-deep in the morning, is now down to the calves, making it easier to stir up the rocks.
The sea breeze was too weak, and Bai Haijian repeatedly told him to stay on the beach. He then led Qin Yingxue toward the rocky outcrops.
Along the way, you can bend down and turn over large rocks. If you're lucky, you might even find seashells. Some sellers buy the pretty seashells to make handicrafts, which can be worth a few dollars.
The elderly and children in the village would come out in the middle of the night to collect the scavenging materials when the tide went out.
"Is this abalone?" Qin Yingxue followed Bai Haijian's example and picked a large rock that was easy to hide things on. As soon as she turned it over, she saw a conger eel swimming around. Qin Yingxue was startled, but when she looked closely, she found several abalone.
"Abalone?" Bai Haijian walked over and took a look, then corrected him, "This is sea urchin! Auntie is lucky, these five sea urchins can fetch a lot of money..."
Then, realizing that Uncle Song's family was not short of money, and that these abalone were probably kept for their own consumption, he quickly changed his tune, saying, "Sea urchins are nutritious and have tender meat; they are a rare and delicious tonic."
"Really? Then let's look around some more. We'll cook something tonight." Qin Yingxue said happily as she continued to search for nearby stones.
However, perhaps her luck had run out, because Qin Yingxue never found abalone again, but instead picked up a few swimming crabs.
They are not large, but each one weighs more than three ounces.
Bai Haijian was more familiar with this sea and reaped much greater rewards than Qin Yingxue.
Soon, his wooden bucket was more than half full of swimming crabs.
"Auntie, are these crabs enough to eat? Dead crabs smell bad. If you want to eat them, you can pick more tomorrow..." Bai Haijian walked up to Qin Yingxue and suggested somewhat embarrassedly.
“Haijian, when I came here yesterday, I met a boss from out of town who was buying seafood in the market. I asked him about the price, and he offered three cents a pound for crabs. Pick up a lot, and we'll sell them to him later.”
Qin Yingxue looked at Bai Haijian with a serious expression.
"Three cents? But the dock owner didn't even want two cents?" Bai Haijian was skeptical.
"If you don't believe me, he'll come this evening. You can ask him then. Let's pick up more. If he really doesn't want it, I'll take it home and have my mother-in-law make crab sauce. You'll be able to swallow your tongue when you put a little bit of it on your noodles."
Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
"Okay!" Bai Haijian swallowed hard and went off to find the swimming crabs with great enthusiasm.
Previously, he would only pick the larger crabs with more meat, but when he heard that they could be used to make crab sauce, he plucked them all, big and small.
Once his own bucket was full, he put the ones he found into Qin Yingxue's bucket.
Qin Yingxue checked the time and decided to release the bionic robot, naming it Zhang San.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat, short sleeves and trousers walked over and asked Bai Haifeng, who was playing in the sand on the beach, in broken Mandarin, "Little friend, are you selling the crabs in this bucket?"
"Brother, brother..." Bai Haifeng shouted in fear.
Qin Yingxue and Bai Haijian looked up at the same time.
"breeze……"
"Haijian, don't worry, that person is the boss I mentioned before."
Qin Yingxue saw Bai Haijian hurriedly drop the crab he was holding and run towards the beach, and quickly explained.
