Chapter 47 The isolated island is rich in products
He continued to turn around, and found another blue crab buried in the soil not far away, with only two eyes exposed.
"One can hide better than the other!"
Fortunately, he has good eyesight and sharp eyes. If you clip it up and take a look, it will only be a little smaller, but it is still over a catty. It is a male, and it is not bad!
Putting the blue crab into the bamboo basket, he looked for it more carefully, fearing that it would be covered by the mud and miss it.
If there are stones around, he will move it deliberately to see if there is any goods underneath?
But the one he was looking for was a tidal flat with no water. After breaking several stones, he didn’t see any small fish or shrimps being stranded.
After moving several stones, he saw two big blue crabs piled high beside a big stone!
"Damn it, fight in the field, you really have it!"
Picked up one, but the other one was also stuck on it. I looked at the back, and it was really a male and a female.
It’s all blue crabs, Ye Yaodong guessed in his heart, it should be the reason of the isolated island, no one haunts, and there is no threat, so after the low tide, the blue crabs climbed to the beach to relax in the sun, and waited for the next high tide before returning to the sea.
After he took both of them into his bag excitedly, he saw a small piece of tidal flat not far ahead, which was relatively flat and had many small holes on the surface.
He walked forward a few steps quickly, and then squatted down. Different from the small holes on the surface of the beach, there are sand clams under them. From his experience, these small holes should be under razor clams.
Razor clam belongs to a kind of invertebrate mollusk, which is commonly found in the sand in the intertidal zone. Its shell is narrow and long, razor-shaped. It can move up and down quickly in the cave, and quickly retract into the cave when it is frightened.
He muttered a few words: "It's a pity that I didn't bring salt. Otherwise, if I sprinkled these holes, these razor clams would come out by themselves. Now I have to dig them out by myself, which is troublesome!"
Placing the tongs in his hand aside, he directly digs holes one by one with his bare hands. Fortunately, the drilling is not deep, so it is easy to dig out.
After digging a few, I saw a rock next to it, moved it away, found two jumping fish, and threw them into the bamboo basket.
No matter how small a mosquito’s legs are, it’s still meat, and it’s still a harvest.
After more than ten minutes of digging with his hands and feet, after digging out all the small holes in this area, he estimated that he had harvested three or four catties, and he stood up satisfied.
It's just that he squatted for too long, and his neck felt a little sore, and his dirty hands were inconvenient to press. Ye Yaodong could only twist his neck and look at those people by the way.
Everyone is quite scattered, and I don’t know how they reaped?
He looked up at the sun again, the sun was still strong and dazzling, seeing that it was still early and the tide was not rising so fast, he could only continue to search, occasionally picking up a few jumping fish.
People also went out more and more, and walked out of this small tidal flat directly to the shallow cement sand area.
As soon as he stepped into the sea, Ye Yaodong sat on a big rock and planned to wash off the mud on his legs first. The mud stuck to his legs and would dry out in the sun, making his skin tight and uncomfortable.
As soon as he finished washing his feet, he saw a tentacles protruding from the crevice of the stone.
"You've thrown yourself into a trap! Come out", he put on his gloves, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "Oh~ it's Xiaobaizhang!"
After throwing it into the bamboo basket, he continued to reach out and try to dig under the stone, "There is more!"
I grabbed it out and saw that there were two little white badges!
Fujian people have a saying: three small white badges, a sheep on top!
"I got a sheep!"
The products on the isolated island are indeed much richer than those on the pier. After walking around the stone, he saw a few more snails.
Not many, only seven or eight, the snail meat on the top of the head was directly adsorbed on the stone, and he just broke off one by one and threw it into his hand.
The snails that will be adsorbed on the rocks will have meat inside, while those soaked in sea water, many of them are hermit crabs without meat.
Now that he has reached the shallow water area, he plans to look around first.
"Hey, Shi Jiugong..."
Looking at the red figure swimming by the pile of rubble over there, Ye Yaodong walked quickly up a few steps and saw a stone Jiugong.
Shi Jiugong usually lives in the crevices or caves of rocks in the sea area. It seems that it cannot do without stones. No matter how deep the water is, there must be stones at the bottom, so that Shi Jiugong can appear and live there. Small shrimps are used as food objects.
He put the bamboo basket and tongs aside, freed his hands to surround it with both hands, and grabbed it. The hard spines on its fins are poisonous, so you need to be careful.
The bright red Shi Jiugong looks a little pleasing to the eye, much more beautiful than ordinary fish.
Ye Yaodong is also in a good mood, regardless of the value of the goods, it is always joyful to have something to gain.
Afterwards, the harvest will not be much, until the tide starts to rise, he only caught three stone nine males, just enough to make up a bowl, there are also some jumping fish, stone crabs, a few miscellaneous fish, three big green crab.
Wading in the water, he walked towards the rock where he just got off the boat, while the others were still wandering around with their heads down, Ye Yaodong shouted loudly to them: "The tide is rising!"
Everyone raised their heads and glanced in the direction of the sound, then continued to lower their heads again. It started to rise, but it hadn’t reached it yet, and the boat was still stranded on the beach. What’s the rush?
After approaching, he yelled again, "Aren't you hungry?"
"Where can I not be hungry? I am hungry."
"I have already eaten several shrimps raw."
Didn’t say that he really didn’t notice that there were no shrimps in his harvest today, “I didn’t even find any shrimps.”
"Then what did you find?"
"Three small white badgers, three stone nine males, a few stone crabs, a few miscellaneous snails, three or four catties of razor clams, seven big blue crabs..."
"Damn it, you found seven **** blue crabs? How big are they?" Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was closest to him, looked at him in disbelief.
"All of them weigh more than one catty, and the biggest one is almost two catties!"
The biggest one was found under the rocks in the shallow water when he was about to walk over. Fortunately, he found it, otherwise it would return to the sea when the tide rose.
Ah Zheng yelled enviously and enviously: "What luck are you doing? Forget about three or four catties of razor clams, but you still picked up seven big blue crabs? I just picked up one."
"I also picked up one! It's quite big, it should weigh a pound." Chen Wei also came over and said.
"It feels like there are quite a lot of blue crabs here. I don't know if it's because of the isolated island, and the reason why the fishing nets can't be put here, there are quite a few."
"I think so too, probably because no one has visited before," Xiao Xiao said while looking at Ye Yaodong's bamboo cage, "You are full."
"Dongzi is really lucky these days! In the same place, he has gained more than us."
