Chapter 60 Goose Barnacles
The moment the giant blue crab appeared, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.

"What a huge blue crab!"

"Is this a blue crab? How could a blue crab grow this big!"

The Mr. Lin and his friends that Awang brought were clearly also interested.

"Interesting. This could be considered the king of blue crabs. Let's weigh it and see how much it weighs."

Awang brought the scale over.

"Three pounds and two ounces!"

The people around immediately widened their eyes and started discussing it enthusiastically.

"A three-pound mud crab? I've never seen one this big in all my years!"

Yun Linhe slightly raised his chin: "How about it, Boss Lin? How about these blue crabs? They're still alive, guaranteed fresh."

Lin Kuang laughed heartily: "Of course I want it, I'll pay thirty for this blue crab."

Thirty yuan! Everyone around was green with envy.

They never dared to dream of a blue crab selling for thirty yuan.

If it were a normal acquisition, Awang wouldn't have offered such a high price; a dozen yuan would be the most he'd pay.

"Boss Lin is straightforward."

Yun Linhai and the others readily handed over the large blue crab.

The foreigners were chattering away in a language they couldn't understand, surrounding the giant blue crab.

"Anything else?"

"Would you like some abalone? But there's not much, just over two pounds."

"want."

However, the abalone was purchased at the market price. Although Mr. Lin was generous, he was not a sucker.

"We also have a three-knife fish here, which is quite large."

Upon seeing the three-knife fish, Boss Lin became excited.

"I'll buy this one. It's not common to see such a big three-knife fish. I'll give it to you for nine yuan a pound."

Three-knife fish is also known as the king of fish in Taiwan, and its price has always been very high, fluctuating around eight yuan per catty.

Their three-knife fish was huge; it survived being carried by that eagle for so long without dying.

This three-knife fish weighs two pounds and eight ounces.

Mr. Lin was already quite satisfied with acquiring these two rare items when suddenly his good friend James shouted excitedly.

"Lin, goose barnacles, there are goose barnacles here."

When Boss Lin went over to take a look, it was indeed true.

Yun Chendong: ? ? ?

Why is that foreigner so excited about the sea pheasant feet?
Two other foreigners also came over, looking at the sea pheasant feet in Yun Chendong's bucket and chattering away, making no sense.

“I’ll also take these goose barnacles. I’ll give you twenty yuan a pound.”

"puff……"

Yun Linhai, who was catching his breath while drinking water, immediately spat out his water when he heard the price.

Awang was also stunned and squeezed through to see what could be so expensive.

The others around also rushed over in alarm.

"What's so expensive? What kind of gooseneck?"

"Isn't this sea pheasant feet? The purchasing station only buys them for a little over a dollar a pound, how come they're twenty-one pounds now?"

This boss must be an idiot.

Mr. Lin picked up the goose barnacles inside.

"This thing is called goose barnacle. Although it's a similar species to sea barnacle, the appearance is different. Do you usually see sea barnacles this long?"

There really aren't any, but apart from the length, they seem... well, there doesn't seem to be any difference. Boss Lin was quite satisfied with those goose barnacles; the meat looked plump and meaty.

"Let's weigh it."

Exactly three pounds.

They made 131 yuan just from selling these three items to Boss Lin!

Both sides were very satisfied. Yun Linhe and the others looked at Boss Lin and those foreigners as if they were gods of wealth.

It's rare to see such a generous boss.

Yun Linhe patted Awang on the shoulder: "Good brother, you've introduced us to such a generous boss."

Awang chuckled, "No problem, no problem. My business here has also benefited from the help of my brothers."

Yunlin Hai: "Stop chatting and come weigh the fish."

Ah Wang went to the deck of the wooden boat and exclaimed in surprise, "Brothers, you guys are really lucky! You actually encountered a school of Red Three Fish!"

He was jealous.

Such a huge king crab, and those three-knife fish, goose barnacles, and then they even caught so many three-knife fish, what kind of luck is that?

There were quite a few people around their boat at that moment. Grandpa Yun and the others had also come over after hearing the news, and they were happy to help with the fishing.

Someone secretly went up to Yun Jiao and asked.

"Jiaojiao, Auntie will give you some candy. Where did you find those goose barnacles?"

Yun Jiao: Do ​​I look silly?
She took the candy with an innocent and naive expression, then turned around and shouted.

“Father, this aunt asked us where we found goose barnacles.”

She spoke quickly, and the auntie didn't even have time to cover her mouth before she realized what was happening.

Instantly, all eyes fell on the aunt.

Wang Mei, hands on her hips, angrily cursed: "You shameless old hag, thinking our family is easy to bully? If you have any questions, come and ask me. What kind of skill is it to deceive a child?"

"Pah! Even if we found that spot ourselves, it was our family's luck and skill. Who would reveal their best fishing spot? You're a grown man, doing nothing but crooked tricks. If everyone acted like you, how would anyone catch fish?!"

Wang Mei's voice was loud and clear when she cursed, until the person slunk away in shame.

Those with ulterior motives dared not step forward.

There are many people in Yunlinhai's family; they can't out-argue or out-fight him.

After all the fish were weighed and Ah Wang paid, the family went home.

They also left behind quite a few small shrimp, a few red snapper, and some other small miscellaneous fish.

Yun Jiao was eating a piece of candy.

Shen Yunlian asked her where she came from.

She said in a soft voice, "It was given to me by the aunt who was scolded by my younger aunt just now."

Shen Yunlian and the others were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

That auntie really lost both her wife and her money.

Grandpa Yun frowned: "But you should be careful when you go out to sea in the future. Sea chicken feet are so expensive, some people will definitely have designs on them."

"Yeah, we know."

Yun Linhe sighed, "Those sea chicken feet are just a bit longer than the ones we usually see, so why are they so much more expensive?"

Yun Chendong: "I overheard that this thing is called goose barnacle in the hometowns of those foreigners. They say it's delicious and rare, so it's always been quite expensive."

"But even if someone goes looking for it, I'm not worried. That Mr. Lin and his foreign friends just happened to be visiting here. They should be leaving soon. Not many people know about this stuff. Who here would spend so much money to buy it?"

Yun Linhai nodded: "Yes, Awang told me that unless someone contacts him and explicitly states that they want to buy those long-necked sea chicken feet, they won't buy them at such a high price."

So, although this thing is valuable, it's probably just a one-off deal.

Unless you can find someone to buy this long-term, it's not worth the risk of specifically looking for these sea chicken feet.

Yun Chendong himself knew how dangerous the place was where goose barnacles grew.
