Chapter 2030 The man who picks seafood

We walked slowly on the seawall and took Yuxiang to look at the various seafood. She seemed very excited, but the hearts of the rest of us were tight.

Halfway through, Chi Xi's arm hit me, and I saw a stooped man limping along with someone carrying a basket of seafood from the pier.

The basket looked very heavy, and the man had his back to us, so it was difficult to lift it.

His legs seemed to be a little weak when he walked, and he staggered several times, which made people frightened.

The man carrying the basket with him teased him as he walked, "Is it still possible? You have to persist to the end, otherwise you can't afford to pay for this basket of crabs with your monthly salary! Then your work will be in vain!"

The man looked at the road as he walked and shouted, "Come on... get out of the way! I'm irresponsible if I hit you!"

The few of us quickly leaned aside and looked at the man with his face turned away.

The moment we passed him by, I finally saw his face, and my heart tightened. There were hideous scars on that face. They must have been there for a long time, and the scars looked like they were glowing white.

The man looked older at first glance, and his hair was a little gray.

There was a rope hanging on his right shoulder, connected to the big basket. The basket blocked his view, making it difficult to see the condition of his right hand.

However, I knew somehow that this person was Yu Yunlai.

I immediately looked at Chi Xi, and Xu Aihua beside me suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand.

I turned to look at her, and her eyes were staring in the direction of the man.

They put the basket down, and the man bent down and panted for a while, then said, "New arrival, it's the last basket, it's time to unpack it!"

After saying that, he sat on a small chair next to him and asked someone to open the basket. He began to pick out crabs of various grades from inside.

Some individual customers immediately came over to look at the grades he selected and asked him about the price.

He answered one by one and shouted, "How much do you want? The ones that have lost their legs are fine... They are fresh! Expensive?... Not expensive. This is what you just landed, you saw it! Then why don't you do this? This kind is just small, but they are all intact. This kind is fresh, you can eat it after just giving it a breath, it is very fresh and sweet..."

We looked at him from a distance, and I deliberately looked at his right hand. There was indeed something wrong with it. It seemed that he couldn't straighten it from the wrist.

It seems that, yes, this person is Yu Yunlai.

He was so busy that he didn't even bother to look up at people. He quickly selected the level and accurately placed the crabs in his hands into the large basins of different levels.

Xu Aihua looked at me, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said bitterly, "...That's him, right!"

I nodded, "It should be right. According to the information, the face was disfigured and the tendon of the right hand was severed and not connected properly!"

Xu Aihua's expression became a little distorted, he clenched his back molars tightly, and his masseter muscles protruded.

I know that she must have been stimulated by the scene in front of her.

Yuxiang glanced at Xu Aihua, ran directly to the man who was picking up crabs attentively, and asked crisply, "Uncle, how do you sell this?"

Yu Yunlai raised his head and looked at the large basin she was pointing to. "This is the most complete one, and it's also big. It costs 58 pounds per pound."

"It's too expensive!" Yuxiang said deliberately, "Can it be cheaper? We can buy more!"

"Then you buy this kind. It's smaller, but it still has legs! It's cheap..." Yu Yunlai said, throwing several more into the big basin, "This kind can cost 45 a pound!"

"That's a bit expensive..." Yuxiang knelt down and said, "Uncle, there aren't many people around anymore, so just sell it to us cheaper. We can buy more!"

"Ask the boss, how many boxes can be made?" He said without stopping.

We all leaned over, and I took a look. Indeed, the crabs in the basin were quite fresh, ranging in size from big to small. My brother was alive and had been sorted out.

Xu Aihua, Chi Xi, and I all stood behind Yuxiang and watched Yu Yunlai's careful sorting movements intently. It seemed that he was doing it very skillfully.

He was wearing shabby work clothes, with a rubber apron hanging around his neck, rain boots on his feet, and no gloves on his hands. It seemed that his left hand was mainly working, which was covered with calluses and was covered with crab claws. The scratched place was bleeding, but he didn't care.

He probably noticed our strange looks, raised his eyes and glanced at a few of us, without stopping, he continued his actions.

Then he shouted, "Do you want it? Don't get stuck here, the people behind you want to buy, and this is the only basket available today!"
