Chapter 55 Typhoon Days Gain a lot
"Hurry up, hurry up, that clam is going to roll back into the sea."
Lin Xiuqing was about to go pick it up with a smile on her face, her whole face was wrinkled and glowing, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but take a few more glances, he hadn't seen her smile so easily and happily for 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've picked up, and it's as big as my fist."
"Well, let's put it in. Let's go in the direction of the boulder reef and look for it as we go. When we get there, the tide probably has reached the reef."
She nodded with a smile.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but stop after taking a few steps, squatted down and picked with his fingers where there were air holes on the beach, and he picked out a sand clam.
"You are so accurate!"
After she finished speaking, she also spotted a hole to make a hole, and she also made one.
Sand clams are not evenly distributed on the beach, and it takes time to find them every day. It is easier to find them when the air bubbles are exposed only when the tide is just ebbing.
"Do you want to dig here for a while, or go forward?" Seeing her digging happily, Ye Yaodong hurriedly asked.
She stood up with a lot of thought, "Forget it, don't dig, let's go to the reef to see if there are any good things to pick up?"
"Um."
Walking to a small pile of rubble with shoals, the two were pleasantly surprised again.
"There's a fish in there."
"It's sea crucian carp."
It was already dead, stranded on the beach, Ye Yaodong opened its gills and looked at it, it had turned dark red, it might have died in the sea and washed ashore.
"It's not fresh anymore, don't ask for it, throw it back into the sea!"
"Okay." Lin Xiuqing looked regretful, and finally picked up another fish, but it was not fresh.
Sea crucian carp is also called black eagle. The biggest difference from crucian carp is the habitat. Sea crucian carp lives in the sea, while crucian carp lives in lakes and swamps.
She picked up the fish and walked towards the waves. Just as she threw it back into the sea, she saw a wave rolling up. She stepped back quickly. Unexpectedly, after the sea water receded, there was actually a big blue crab on the beach.
"Adong, Adong, come quickly, there is a big blue crab, hurry up and catch it, it is going to crawl away..."
Hearing this, Ye Yaodong trotted over and saw a big green crab waving its two pincers and crawling sideways on the beach quickly. He quickly stepped on it, and then grabbed it. waving.
"Good guy, this one weighs two catties! Good luck, the typhoon didn't come out in vain!"
Lin Xiuqing also had a smile on her face, "It's really the right time to come out today."
"I called you before, but you were still unwilling. This one is enough for you to weave a net for two days."
"I don't know, let's go, let's follow the waves."
Now it was her turn to pull him anxiously.
Following the tide all the way, picking up all the way, I really picked up a lot of fish, shrimps, crabs and clams, big and small. They are not valuable goods, but they are also worth being happy.
Their beach is not small. Walking down from the shore, they stop and go, and sometimes go up to see if there is any stranded seafood. It took more than half an hour to reach the reef area.
After he caught the fish, at the request of his wife, he left the snail for her to break.
Plum boy fish 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 and said, "It's okay, you can steam it with the golden pomfret and the small bass you just picked up, a miscellaneous fish platter."
"Well, let's look for it separately."
The tide has receded below, and the two of them could search faster if they separated. Before Ye Yaodong walked a few steps, he heard Lin Xiuqing's surprised voice: "Moray! Adong, there is a moray here, it's so big!"
He hurriedly walked towards her. A large eel about 3-4 catties was swimming in the low-lying water area, and it seemed that it was also swept up by the waves and stranded.
This moray eel has a sharp mouth and teeth, and blood will be seen immediately after a bite. You need to be careful when you grab it. Ye Yaodong took a good look at it and stepped on its head directly, and saw its tail frantically swinging.
It was useless to let it struggle, he just grabbed its head and threw it into the sack.
Seeing that he had caught the eel, Lin Xiuqing continued to search for the surrounding reefs.
"Adong, Adong, grouper, here are groupers!"
Is his wife lucky today? She's always calling!
"Damn, it's perch slippery, how can there be perch slippery here?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't recognize the species of grouper at all. Anyway, he knew it was grouper, and Ye Yaodong was more familiar with it, so he recognized it at a glance.
Perch slippery is a kind of grouper. It has a long oval body, flat side and strong body. It inhabits coral reefs with clear water quality. Juvenile fish often appear in reefs or tide pools, while adults usually live in deeper waters. Unexpectedly, a typhoon and turbulent waves would actually bring this fish up!
Today is really rewarding, and it was not in vain. I should have brought a bucket if I knew it earlier.
"Either you run home and get the bucket? I'm here watching?"
This is not like the ordinary seafood picked up before. Although it can’t be sold at a high price in this day and age, it is still a rare commodity.
"Is this fish very valuable?"
"Of course, just by looking at the pattern, you can tell that this fish is not common. This perch talc grouper is not from our place, and it was swept here by the waves somehow."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Lin Xiuqing was excited, "Look here, don't let it be washed away by 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 catching the sea?
The key is that she is no longer a novice, it is just the first time a typhoon has come out.
This fish is also quite valuable, and he was reluctant to let it out of sight to catch the sea by himself, so he had to stand here and watch. Who knew that he stopped looking for it, and a blue crab crawled out from the crack in the rock.
It’s really delivered to your door, don’t miss it for nothing!
The resources of blue crabs in their sea area are still very rich, but it is a pity that the blue crab delivered to the door is missing one foot, and the other foot does not match its body shape. Obviously the original one is broken and it has grown back. of.
Although it weighs a catty, its value is greatly reduced!
Originally, the blue crab lacked a large pincer, so the price would be at least one-third less. The other pincer just grew out not long ago, so it was equivalent to none. Several children raised their strength.
