Return to the small fishing village of 1982

"Come on, come on, that clam is going to roll back into the sea."

Lin Xiuqing was riding the waves with a smile on her face, her whole face glowing with folds. Ye Yaodong couldn't help but look at her a few more times. He hadn't seen her smile so easily and joyfully in many years.

After picking up the clams from the sea, she happily walked towards him and raised her hand, "This is the biggest one I picked up. It's as big as my fist."

"Well, let's put it in. Let's walk in the direction of the boulder reef and look for it as we go. When we get there, the tide will probably reach the reef."

She smiled and nodded.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but stop after taking a few steps. He squatted down and dug at the bubble hole on the beach with his fingers, and he pulled out a sand clam.

"You see so accurately!"

After saying that, she also identified a hole to buckle, and got one.

Sand clams are unevenly distributed on the beach, and it takes time to find them every day. It is easier to find them only when the tide has just gone out, when the bubble holes are exposed.

"Do you want to dig here for a while, or go forward?" Ye Yaodong asked quickly when he saw her digging there happily.

She stood up without finishing her thoughts, "Forget it, let's not dig anymore. Let's go to the reef to see if there is anything good to pick up?"

"Um."

When they reached a small pile of gravel with tidal flats, the two of them were pleasantly surprised again.

"There's a fish there."

"It's a sea crucian carp."

It was dead and stranded on the beach. Ye Yaodong opened its gills and took a look. It had turned dark red. It might have died in the sea and was washed ashore. Xinbiquge

"It's no longer fresh, don't take any more, throw it back into the sea!"

"Okay." Lin Xiuqing looked regretful. She finally picked up another fish, but it was no longer fresh.

The biggest difference between marine crucian carp and crucian carp is their different habitats. Marine crucian carp lives in the sea, while crucian carp lives in lakes and swamps.

She picked up the fish and walked toward the waves. As soon as she threw it back into the sea, she saw a wave rolling up. She quickly took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, when the water receded, there was a big blue crab on the beach.

"A Dong, A Dong, come on, there's a big blue crab, come and catch it, it's about to crawl away..."

When Ye Yaodong heard this, he hurried over and saw a big green crab crawling sideways on the beach waving two pincers. He quickly stepped on it and grabbed it. The two big pincers were still showing their teeth and claws. Waving.

"Good guy, this one weighs two pounds! I'm lucky that the typhoon didn't come out in vain!"

Lin Xiuqing also had a smile on her face, "I really did something right today."

"I called you before, but you were still reluctant. This one is worth two days of weaving your web."

"I don't know, let's go ahead and follow the waves."

Now it was her turn to pull him anxiously.

I followed the tide and picked up a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and clams of all sizes. They were not valuable items, but they were still worth being happy about.

Their beach was not small. After walking down from the shore, they walked back and forth, and sometimes walked up to see if there were any stranded seafood. It took them more than half an hour to reach the reef area.

As soon as he stopped, Ye Yaodong saw two plum fish swimming in the small pool between the two rocks, and there was also an oyster shell as big as a baby's fist adsorbed on the stone wall in the small gap.

After he caught the fish, at his wife's request, he left the snail for her to break.

Mei Tongyu is often mistaken for small yellow croaker by laymen. The two are very similar, and the price is not much different.

"It's a pity that there are only two, and they are so small."

Lin Xiuqing raised her head and smiled: "It's okay, you can steam it with the golden pomfret and the small seabass you just picked up. It's a platter of miscellaneous fish."

"Well, let's look for it separately."

The tide has receded. Xiu Qing's surprised voice said: "Conger eel! Adong, there is a conger eel here, it's so big!"

He hurriedly walked towards her. A large eel, about 3-4 pounds, was swimming in the low-lying water area. It seemed that it had been swept up by the waves and stranded.

This moray eel has very strong teeth in its mouth. One bite will immediately cause blood. You need to be careful when catching it. Ye Yaodong took a good look and stepped directly on its head, only to see its tail swinging wildly.

No matter how much it struggled, it was useless. He just grabbed its head and threw it into the sack.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he had caught the eel, so he continued to search in the surrounding reef areas.

"Adong, Adong, grouper, there is grouper here!"

Did his wife have bad luck today? She was the one calling all the time!

"Holy crap, it's Yusli. Why is there Yusli here?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't recognize the species of grouper at all. Anyway, she knew whether it was grouper or Ye Yaodong was more familiar with it and recognized it at a glance.

The slider is a type of grouper with an elongated body, flat and thick sides. It inhabits coral reef areas with clear water. Juveniles often appear on reefs or tide pools, while adults usually live in deeper waters. Unexpectedly, a typhoon and rough waves would actually drag this fish up!

I really gained a lot today, and it really wasn’t in vain. I should have brought a bucket if I had known earlier.

"How about you run home and get the bucket? I'm here to watch?"

This is not like the ordinary seafood I picked up before. Although it cannot be sold for a high price in this era, it is still a rare item. It is better to catch it alive. It is also good to sell it to a big hotel to keep as a display.

"Is this fish valuable?"

"Of course, you can tell by the pattern that this fish is not common. This grouper is not from here, and it was swept over by the waves for some reason."

Lin Xiuqing was excited when she heard the affirmative answer, "You watch here and don't let it be washed away by the waves or rain. I will run home immediately to get the bucket."

Today, I don’t know whether it was his luck or his wife’s luck. He picked up most of them behind her.

It is said that novices who play mahjong and cards have better luck. Does this also apply to chasing the sea?

The key is that she is not a novice, it is just her first typhoon.

This fish was quite valuable. He couldn't bear to let it out of sight and go to the sea by himself, so he had to stand here and watch. Unexpectedly, he even stopped looking for it, and actually a blue crab crawled out from the cracks in the rocks.

It's really delivered to your door, don't give it up!

The resources of blue crabs in their area are still very rich, but it is a pity that the blue crab that was delivered to the door was missing one leg, and the other leg did not match its body shape. It was obvious that the original one was broken and had to grow again. of.

Although it weighs a pound, its value is greatly reduced!

Originally, the blue crab was missing one big pincer, and the price was at least one-third less. But the other pincer had just grown out, and it was equivalent to not having it. It could no longer be sold at the price, so I just kept it and took it back to stew Codonopsis pilosula. Several children gained strength.
