Insert the knife along the gap on the side of the oyster, scrape twice to disconnect the connection point of the oyster, and then gently break it.

Break it open easily.
Once the oyster was opened, the three little ones all stared at the oyster with wide eyes. When the oyster shell was opened, there was a big oyster meat.
"No pearl?" Meng Meng said with some disappointment.
Niuniu and Xiaoliu also opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
Just now, they heard what their father said, and they had high expectations for this oyster, but they didn't expect that there was nothing when they opened it? !
Wu Qiujin's hopes were also dashed, but she was an adult after all, and she quickly adjusted her mood, and said to the three little ones with a smile:
"The probability of oysters producing pearls is very small, and it is normal that no pearls are produced. The oyster meat is so big, and you three can each have a bite later."
Just as Wu Qiujin was comforting the three little ones, Shen Fei reached out and fiddled with the oyster meat.
In his opinion, this thing needs more than a hundred piglets, it shouldn't be so ordinary, right?
As he stretched out his hand to push away the oyster meat, the pearl covered by the oyster meat finally came out.
There really is a pearl, and not just one, but four, the largest is the size of the little finger nail, and the smallest is about the size of a grain of rice.
This size of pearl is already considered very large when found on an oyster.
Shen Fei took the oyster in front of the three little ones and Wu Qiujin, and said with a smile:
"Look, what is this?"
"Wow! Pearls! There are really pearls!" Xiaoliu took the lead and cheered excitedly.
After her, Mengmeng, Niuniu and Wu Qiujin were also very happy, and their slightly disappointed faces were replaced with bright smiles.
"There are really pearls, Dad is so awesome!" Niuniu reached out and touched the biggest pearl, saying with joy.
Meng Meng also stretched out her little hand, touched the pearls with her chubby little fingers, and asked Shen Fei happily:
"Dad, can I pick up the pearls?"
"Of course, these oysters are originally yours, and these four pearls are also yours. You can take them as you like. Be careful not to put them in your mouth!"
Shen Fei suddenly remembered the pearl that came out of the conch last time, and Meng Meng was about to put it in her mouth.
"Yeah, I won't put it in my mouth." Meng Meng nodded with a smile, picked up a pearl, and looked at it.
After her, Xiaoliu, Niuniu and Wu Qiujin all stretched out their hands to pick up one, put it in their palms and looked at it carefully.
Among the four pearls, the largest one, the size of the little finger nail, looked rounder and more promising, and the other three were quite ordinary, not very big, and not very round.
After looking at the pearl for a while, the three little ones lost interest in it. Meng Meng directly handed the pearl to Wu Qiujin and said:
"Mom, you dug the oyster, the pearl is for you."
"Auntie, the pearl is for you." Niuniu also handed the pearl to Wu Qiujin.
Seeing this, Xiaoliu also followed and gave the pearl to Wu Qiujin.
The three little ones helped to pick up the conchs and seashells, and the oysters knocked off the rocks were all Wu Qiujin's work, and had nothing to do with the three of them. They just shouted "Come on" beside her...
Wu Qiujin took the four beads in her hand and looked at them, and asked Shen Fei: "Can these four beads be sold for money?"
"Of course they can be sold, but I don't know how much they can be sold for. At least a few hundred yuan, the pearls from this kind of oyster are quite rare. And this big one is also quite big. If you keep it as a collection, it will probably appreciate in value in the future."
Shen Fei really doesn't know much about jewelry, so he can only make a rough estimate. He has to go to the store to know the exact amount.
Hearing this, Wu Qiujin was quite happy and asked Shen Fei:
"Then these four are really at my disposal?"
"Yes, the oysters you knocked back, and the pearls are naturally yours." Shen Fei nodded as a matter of course.
Hearing this, Wu Qiujin smiled brightly and said, "Okay, then I'll use these four pearls to make a small ornament for each of them."
"If you need money, you can sell it. It should be able to sell for a sum of money." Shen Fei reminded.
"Yeah." Wu Qiujin nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then, she turned back to the three little ones' room and found a small cloth bag to put the four pearls away.
After that oyster, Shen Fei never opened a pearl again.
After opening the pearl, Shen Fei went to the door to kill the lion-headed goose with A Zhuang and Da Tou.
The four geese bought today were really a bit difficult. After plucking the surface hair, there was still a layer of fine new hair, which was very troublesome and difficult to pluck. The three big men dealt with it for a long time, and thenA stove was built at the door to cook.
After cooking four geese, Shen Fei grilled oysters for everyone.
Everyone at home ate, and those who were not at home could only wait for dinner to eat something else. There were not many oysters to begin with, so it was impossible to have them for everyone.
That night, Shen Fei treated A Zhuang and Da Tou to a good meal at home and introduced them to other people at home.
After dinner, he arranged for the two to stay next to Huang Zhanpeng and his friends.
......
Eleven o'clock at night.
Everyone had left, and there was no one else at home. Shen Wenbo put a list in front of Shen Fei and said:
"Dad, this is the weight of our seafood today. We made a fortune on that ship. There are 1276 catties of yellow croaker alone!"
"Uncle Cai said that he had never encountered so many yellow croakers since he started the seafood business. If we calculate it based on the previous price of 145 per catty, those yellow croakers alone would be more than 180,000."
"In addition, we also have 121 catties of yellowfin tuna, 21 catties of sea red grouper, 51 catties of blue grouper, and shrimps..."
Shen Wenbo excitedly talked about their seafood harvest today. This time, their family really made a fortune. The catch that day was sold for nearly 200,000!
In this era where 800 yuan is already considered a high salary, they made so much in a day. How could Shen Wenbo not be excited? !
He had been excited for a whole day, but he hadn't told anyone else, not even Shen Wentao, because he was afraid that Shen Wentao was too young and would spread the news.
He didn't tell anyone when there were other guests at home before, mainly because he felt that he had made too much money this time and didn't want to spread it.
When it was only the father and son left, he couldn't suppress his excitement and told Shen Fei the news.
Hearing this, Shen Fei smiled and nodded.
He had a rough idea of the shipload of seafood, which was about this much money.
"Do we have to wait until Brother Cai sells the fish before settling the money?"
Shen Wentao nodded and said:
"Yes. The money this time is too much. Uncle Cai said he couldn't come up with so much money, so we had to wait two or three days, and one day might not be enough.
In addition, he also said that he would try to help us get a higher price for the yellow croaker."
"Yes." Shen Fei nodded, "Brother Cai has a good reputation. When our business grows in the future, we can continue to cooperate with him if there is room for cooperation."
Business grows in the future? !
For Shen Wenbo, this business is already the biggest business he has ever done in his life. How big will it be in the future?
He didn't quite understand, but he was too lazy to think deeply, anyway, he still had a father to lead the way.
"By the way, Dad, did you ask Uncle Cai to buy four monkeys for you?
I went to Uncle Cai's place this afternoon to see them. All four of them were healthy, two males and two females. I bargained with the Chaoshan accent boss for a while and got them for 3,000. Now the monkeys are still in Uncle Cai's store."
3,000 was beyond Shen Fei's expectation. It was a little cheaper than expected.
"Well, I ordered the monkey before."
Shen Fei nodded and talked about tomorrow's plan,
"Although we have made a lot of money now, we can't just ignore the daily traps and nets.
Tomorrow I will go to discuss the marriage with your aunt. You and San'er take your uncle Zhan Peng, Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Datou to go out to sea to collect traps and help them get used to it."
