Chapter 17: Huang San
Li Changle saw the remaining puddles under the reef constantly bubbling, "Awei, go over and take a look, there must be something over there."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei followed him towards the rocks with a bucket, "Brother, do you think we can get a water truck to drain the water in the puddles? Can we find big products in those deep puddles?"
"Yes! It just takes a few hours to pump water. It's easier to find a few more puddles." Li Changle thought of those in later generations who pumped puddles to catch fish for live broadcasts. They did catch good fish in the beginning, but the current conditions are different from those in later generations. Likewise, anything mechanical is expensive, and it's not worth it to pump water out of puddles.
Before taking two steps, his foot stepped on something hard and quite large. Before he could react, a turtle's head popped out from the tip of his toes in front of him. He quickly moved his foot away.
Then a turtle as big as a basin crawled out of the sand. The turtle slowly crawled forward a few steps and turned to look at Li Changle, probably complaining that he disturbed its sweet dream.
????????????
Li Changle poked it with pliers, "It's so stupid. It reacts so slowly. No wonder it has become a second-level protected waste. Today, luckily it was me who met me. If I had met anyone else, I would have been stewed and eaten."
Turtle meat is glyceric, warm, and non-toxic. Turtle shells are salty, sweet, flat, and non-toxic. Its main functions are to remove dampness, replenish yin deficiency, nourish kidney water, stop bleeding, and detoxify. Turtle eggs and shells have high medicinal and edible values. .
"This thing is so good, you can only sell it for four or five yuan each!" Chen Yongwei ran over happily.
Li Changle then remembered that this guy had not been protected these days, and thought of its humane look just now, and said, "Let it go, just as a blessing to my father."
Chen Yongwei raised his hands in agreement, "It's good to let the animal go and let it say something to Master Hai Long, asking him to bless Uncle Atang for a speedy recovery."
Li Changle nodded and watched the turtle crawl towards the sea, then asked: "Why are you running here again? What was that bubble just now? Have you seen it?"
"I haven't gotten there yet and I see you haven't come, so I'll come back and have a look."
"..." Li Changle glanced at him speechlessly, walked to the reef in a few steps, and saw two white crabs clamping each other with a pair of large claws, neither one letting go of the other, "Fuck! Met another pair of idiots!"
He stepped forward and pressed the shells on their backs one by one with one hand, and carefully separated them to prevent their big turtles and intertwined claws from breaking.
After the crab legs are broken, they don't look good and can't be sold at a high price.
The white crabs in the past two days have not grown any fat yet, so they are not so plump when eaten. After September, white crabs are also called cream crabs. Wash them and marinate them in salt brine to make "choked crabs" with a unique flavor.
These two were big enough, estimated to weigh two kilograms. He remembered that Nan liked to eat crab sauce, and would save the white crabs for marinating in crab sauce later.
"You're so lucky. I didn't see them when I came to see them just now." Chen Yongwei said while busy looking for something.
"That's my luck... In a word, if it's good, I can't say anything about it, I'm God's biological son." Li Changle wanted to say that if his luck was bad, he could have it again, but he quickly changed his sentence mid-sentence.
Before he finished speaking, there was a "snap" sound coming from behind the reef. This sound was most familiar to him. It was the sound made by a fish jumping when it ran aground.
He hurriedly turned behind the reef and saw a yellow croaker jumping in the puddle, shining golden light under the mixed yellow water. At first glance, he thought it was a yellow croaker, but upon closer inspection, it was easy to distinguish it. .
The yellow three has a pointed head, the dorsal fin is relatively far back, and the tail is wedge-shaped, while the head of the yellow croaker is relatively flat, the dorsal fin is relatively forward, and the tail is scissor-shaped.
Old fishermen said that yellow croaker has seven brothers, and yellow croaker ranks third, so it is also called "yellow three fish". Another saying is that this fish is also golden in body in turbid sea water, and is similar to large yellow croaker. The appearance of this fish is similar to that of yellow croaker, as if it is wearing a yellow shirt. To distinguish it from yellow croaker, it is called "yellow shirt fish".
It also tastes great and is considered a fish with high economic value. However, because it has more resources than large yellow croaker, and the fat of large yellow croaker can be made into the famous yellow croaker, the price is very different. .
Li Changle walked into the puddle and saw the yellow catfish hiding next to the rocks. Then he made a gesture of holding water with his hands, reached into the water, and caught the yellow catfish with lightning speed.
Looking at the sticky and dirty garlic in the bucket, he said to Chen Yongwei: "Awei, pour the garlic into my basket, and the bucket will be filled with fish!"
"Here it comes!" Chen Yongwei quickly put the dug dragon aside, poured the garlic in the bucket into the basket, poured some water into the bucket, and looked at the yellowtail fish in the net bag and said happily, "Brother, This yellow three is pretty good, it must be over a pound, right?”
"At least a pound." Li Changle held the bottom of the net bag and poured the yellowtail fish into the bucket, "Dragon, what did you dig just now?"
"Yeah! A few tubes are quite fat." Chen Yongwei picked up the dragonfly and put it in a basket on his back. "If you find a few more tubes, you can fry it!"
Dragonfly is what people here call it. Maybe some people don’t know what it is, but everyone knows it when they say razor clam.
Most of the razor clams here are "Constricted razor clams". This kind of razor clam has a long flat square shell with rounded ends. The shell is crisp and thin. From the top and ventral edge of the shell, there is a diagonal groove, which can be up to 10 cm long. Its head There are two suction and discharge hoses, and there is a foot that can stand on the tail. The meat is white and tender, and the meat is delicious and plump.
When selecting dragonflies, as long as the edge of the shell is light yellow and the belly meat in the middle of the shell is milky white, then the razor clam must be fat and taste delicious. If the belly meat in the middle of the shell is dark brown, Then this razor clam must be thin.
Li Changle glanced at him and imitated Grandma Chen's tone and said: "I think about eating every day, so I quickly send it to sell for money. One share is combined into two shares, two shares are combined into one pair. Money is also the same, one point for one point. Save it up and put it away if you have enough."
"My grandma has changed her mind now. The electricity bill is extremely expensive. When you enter the house, turn off the lights as soon as possible. Where can I get some money to buy you a wife?"
Chen Yongwei scratched his head in annoyance, "Whenever I have free time, I will ask someone to help me introduce a partner, without thinking about our family's situation. Which girl is willing to suffer along with me!"
"My grandma was like this when she was here. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a wife. Nan agreed to have sex with me, and she even went to the Master's Palace to burn incense to fulfill her wish."
Li Changle felt a little sad when he thought that Grandma Chen had not seen Ah Wei get married until she left. He hoped that she would be able to hold her grandson in her arms before leaving.
"That's because my sister-in-law is kind. Look at the house in Tang'an Village. The woman dropped the child and left."
Li Changle's heart ached after hearing this, "Ah Wei, as the old saying goes, clothes are a man's face and money is his courage. As long as you have money, the matchmaker can crush the threshold of your home.
