A basket of abalone, poured into a basin, made a big pile.
Wen's mother and Wen Shi cleaned the abalone one by one, sorting them into piles according to their size: two-headed, three-headed, and four-headed.
When everything was done, he looked at Wen's mother, "Mom, there are quite a lot here, we can't finish them all at once."
Those we have good relations with picked them today, so no need to divide them among others.
No need to share with acquaintances.
So, how should we deal with so much abalone?
Eat abalone three meals a day?
Wen's mother thought he was a bit silly, "Not planning to eat it all; we can dry some and send them back."
The team leader is still at home looking after the house for us, we need to maintain good relations.
And Yaozi and his wife, they've been so good to Chichi, we can't leave people high and dry.
Yi Chichi got excited, "Mom, you know how to dry abalone?"
"I don't."
This answer left the couple stunned.
