Golden Fishery

At this time, on the beach of the long fishing ground coastline, countless fiddler crabs emerge from the sand, densely packed, just like the sesame seeds on the flatbread.

Of course, the color of their back shells is much brighter than the gray sesame. The color of male crabs is brighter than that of female crabs. The colors include coral red, bright green, golden yellow, light green and light blue, etc., which are like small flowers sprinkled on the beach.

If it wasn't for the fiddler crabs who took the initiative to drill out of the sand, Qin Shiou would never have known that there were so many small crabs in his fishing ground. Before, he planned to replenish these small things for the fishing ground, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

The fiddler crabs crawled out swiftly, and the male crabs raised their epee-like claws and swung them vigorously at the waves. In this way, although the crabs are small in size, they are large in number, so this scene looks particularly imposing.

This is where the name 'fiddler crab' comes from. The movement of their claws waving towards the sea was thought to be calling the tide by the ancients, so they were given this name.

Of course, Qin Shiou knew that this action was not really able to summon the tide, but to show his strength, intimidate the enemy or seek a mate.

Thinking of this, he gathered the fishermen together and discussed: "The crab swarm is abnormal. Could it be the mating season? They don't seem to be avoiding the tide, but they seem to be concentrating on courtship."

Zach, the oldest, shook his head. He took Qin Shiou to find some newly built fiddler crab caves, pointed to the crab covers covering the cave entrances and said, "Look, they obviously know what they are going to meet, and they are specially prepared to get out before they come out." The crab cover to cover the hole. If it is to mate, how can you seal the door of the house?"

The sea monster also said: "Yes, I think the fiddler crabs just take advantage of the opportunity to move to find a mate, instead of crawling out specifically to find a mate."

Qin Shiou frowned and said, "Then, the fiddler crabs firmly believe that there will be a high tide soon, don't they?"

The fishermen nodded, Qin Shiou had no choice but to wave his hand and let everyone start to clean up the fishing ground.

no doubt. No matter how big the tide is, it is impossible to rush to the location of the villa.

And the reason why Qin Shiou and the fishermen had to judge whether there would be a tide or not. It is because they have to do a lot of work based on this, such as fixing fishing boats, fixing kelp breeding rafts, spreading fish and shrimp feed in the sea in advance, and so on.

Seeing the adults working, the children also came to work after playing for a while, tigers, leopards, bears and wolves all came up to help. Only real snapping turtle masters walk leisurely on the beach, eating while walking, and the little fiddler crab is a delicacy in its mouth.

Children lack concentration in work,

If you work for a while, your mind will be distracted, which will be counterproductive.

Qin Shiou didn't want them to come up to make trouble, but he couldn't discourage the children's enthusiasm. He scoured the ground, found a giant fiddler crab the size of his fist, and gave it to Gordon and Michelle.

Gordon and Michelle studied this fiddler crab, their eyes lit up immediately, and they ran to Little Shaq and Krakenson to show off with great interest.

Little Shaq said disdainfully: "What's the matter. The king crab I picked up yesterday is bigger than yours!"

Gordon raised the fiddler crab unconvinced and said, "Didn't you see it? My fiddler crab is different. Its big claw is on the left!"

Little Shaq saw that it was really like this. He went to the beach to search for a while, and the fiddler crabs he found were all with large claws on the right side, so it seemed that Gordon's crabs were indeed relatively rare.

Little Shaq refused to admit defeat, and ran to find his father to get him such an abnormal crab. Shaq was busy and was in no mood to mess around with him. Just push him away and let him go back and play by himself.

Little Shaq expressed dissatisfaction with this, and made trouble for his father everywhere. His father is also tough. A divine dragon swung its tail and kicked him on his left buttock, sending him flying five meters away.

In this way, little Shaq limped when his left buttock hurt when he walked, his father raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Are you satisfied now?"

Qin Shiou laughed. The way Shaq and the sea monster educated their children was barbaric, but it seemed to be effective. Little Shaq and Krakenson would only be honest for a few days after being beaten.

Seeing Xiao Shake looking for crabs with a limp, Qin Shiou went over and explained: "This is not a rare species, that's what fiddler crabs are like. If the male crab loses its big claws, the original place will grow If a small claw is produced, the original small claw will grow into a large claw to replace the lost large claw."

Upon hearing this, Little Shaq asked, "Then why are there so few claws on the left side?"

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "It's a very simple reason. Is your right hand dominant? Then if your right hand is broken, your left hand will become dominant. Will you break your right hand in order to make your left hand dominant?"

This metaphor is not appropriate, there may be boring people, but there are no boring fiddler crabs.

Claws are so important to fiddler crabs that they burrow, hunt, fight and attract mates, and fiddler crabs won't break their claws unless they're extremely careless.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for fiddler crabs that have lost their large claws to survive until the small claws grow into large claws. They will starve to death or be eaten by natural enemies before that.

After a busy day, Qin Shiou led the fishermen to tidy up the thousands of acres of kelp fields. The movable rafts were fixed back and forth, so that even if there were big waves, the kelp would not be pushed around.

While cleaning up the kelp field, the bull picked up a one-meter-long ghost-headed saury. This guy killed himself, thinking that the bull's hand in the water was food, so he opened his mouth and bit it.

Fortunately, the bull was wearing thick protective gloves, which were made of rubber with a lot of tough steel wires interspersed inside, so although the ghost-headed saury had sharp teeth, they still couldn't break through the gloves.

Rao was startled even if he was as bold as a bull. He held up his hand, and everyone saw a big fish with bright green color being lifted up.

The fishermen didn't know that there was a ghost-headed saury in the fishing ground before, and they were naturally surprised when they saw it, but they laughed afterwards, and they all invited the bull to treat them, saying that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Indeed, although the ghost-headed saury is not cannibalistic, it is a carnivorous fish after all. The sharp teeth really bit the bull's wrist, and the bull had to rest for at least a month.

The ghost-headed saury is similar to the star chicken that Qin Shiou caught not long ago. After the star chicken dies, the spots on its body will disappear, while the ghost-headed saury will change from green to dark after death. grey.

Qin Shiou allowed the bull to bring the fish back home, and said, "I asked Anna to stew it for you. Damn it, it actually wanted to eat your hand. Now that it's all right, it will become food instead."

The fishermen laughed and clamored to go to the bull's house as a guest.

The bull refused and said, "My villa hasn't been built yet. Now my house is small and rotten. I will invite you to play after I move into the new house."

The fishermen are all rough people. Before they followed Qin Shiou, they couldn't eat occasionally, so they naturally didn't care about it. They must have clamored to go to the bull's house for dinner, and asked Qin Shiou if he would go.

Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Count me in, I haven't been a guest at Bull's house yet." (To be continued)
