Chapter 214 Tao Shui Peng
After walking for nearly an hour, he found a satisfactory water hole. Li Changle happily put down his bucket and backpack, picked up the water bottle, took a few sips, sat down on the rock, took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking.
"Uncle Third, have you found the puddle?" Li Xiaoyang caught up with him sweating profusely.
"Yes!" Li Changle picked up the kettle and handed it to him, "The water hasn't completely receded yet. We'll start when it recedes."
"Oh!" Li Xiaoyang drank a few sips, wiped his mouth, put down the kettle and went for a walk nearby.
Li Changle leaned against the rock, enjoying the sea breeze, and wanted to sleep comfortably. Before he could close his eyes, Li Xiaoyang's surprised shout came from behind.
"Uncle, come on, there are a lot of Buddha's conchs here!"
"Is he big?" Li Changle stood up and walked towards him.
"Big, several times bigger than what we dug on the beach!" Li Xiaoyang pointed at the cliff and said.
Li Changle went over and took a look. Sure enough, there were bergamot snails growing on the cliff of the big rock. They were still a large and densely packed area. They were bigger than the ones dug out on Groove Island last time.
"Uncle Third, do you know how to run a restaurant like this?"
"Yes, I can sell it for one yuan per catty if I send it over."
"The restaurant is still rich!"
Li Xiaoyang looked at the Buddha's hand snails with gleaming eyes, as if he were seeing bills one by one. "These many can be sold for a lot of money. I'll go back and call my mother-in-law and they will chisel them."
"Okay!" Li Changle stood up and looked around, "Go up where we came from. Slowly, don't fall."
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyang quickly climbed up.
Li Changle saw him running away and returned to the big rock. He took out all the plastic tubes in the backpack and placed them on the rock. He took out the hook for prying the Buddha's hand snail and went to the rock wall.
Aim at a cluster of larger Buddha's hand snails, insert the hook into the crack of the stone, and pull it out hard, and a large cluster of Buddha's hand snails will be hooked out.
After he pried out most of the bucket of Buddha's hand snails, the puddle under the rock was exposed. Li Changle returned to the rock with the bucket, and Li Xiaoyang also came with others.
"Ale, there were a lot of mussels and snails on the way here, much bigger than those on the beach." Sister-in-law Li said excitedly.
She heard that the terrain here was a bit steep, so she and Sister-in-law Li brought Xiang Xiaoyu over, leaving Zhou Ruonan behind on Shapo to look after the child.
"There are some here too. You pry out the bergamot snails first, and then pry out the mussels." Li Changle handed the iron hook to Xiang Xiaoyu and said to several people, "The place to stay is a bit narrow. Be careful and don't miss the mark."
Already."
"Thank you, Uncle Ale."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time to pry a snail, everyone knows this." Sister-in-law Li took a look with the bucket, and then cheered in surprise.
"My mother, the snails on the island are really big. You can't see such big things on the beach."
"Every time I go to the beach, I have to look for it. I was pried away before I could grow up." Sister-in-law Li carried the bucket and walked down.
Li Xiaoyang patted Xiang Xiaoyu and said, "Ah Yu, my third uncle said that the big ones are sold for one piece per catty. Point to the big one, pry more and sell them, and you will have money to buy cotton to make cotton-padded clothes."
Xiang Xiaoyu looked surprised after hearing this, "Is it so expensive?"
"Yes, pry more, and Uncle Ale will help you sell it when the time comes." Li Changle added, "You can only pry in this area. If you go to the cliff, I won't help you sell it."
"I remember." Xiang Xiaoyu nodded heavily.
Li Changle carried the plastic pipe and went down to the puddle. He picked up a pipe and put it in the water, filled it with water, blocked one end, dragged it to a low place and put it down. The water started flowing down.
"My third uncle is so smart!" Li Xiaoyang looked at him with admiration, and even pulled Xiang Xiaoyu, who was carefully prying the Buddha's conch, to look at him.
"Uncle Ale, this is a good idea." Xiang Xiaoyu praised it and was busy prying the Buddha's conch again.
After Li Changle put all the pipes in place, several pipes were drained out at the same time. The water level in the stone pit dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Taking advantage of the gap in draining water, he went to the rock wall to pry Buddha's hand snails. It cost one yuan a pound, which was actually more fish than the fish that could not be seen in the puddle.
Li Changle threw the snail he had pried into the bucket. Seeing that Xiang Xiaoyu was quite agile in prying the snail, he asked, "Xiaoyu has done this before?"
Xiang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "There are some on the reef beach, much smaller than this one. I will pry them up when I find them and sell them to Chen Ji."
"Third uncle, look at the Buddha's hand snails under the rock wall. They look bigger than the ones here. It's a pity that there's no place to stay on the cliff, otherwise we could still collect hundreds of kilograms." Li Xiaoyang pointed to the cliff and said.
Li Changle rolled his eyes at him, "Don't eat from the bowl and look into the pot. It's good to pry all these out today."
Sister-in-law Li looked at the small fish bucket and then at Li Xiaoyang's. She was not angry at all. She gouged out her eyes and glanced at the puddle. "Don't you clamor to go fishing every day? Why don't you?"
Do it faster?"
Li Xiaoyang rolled his eyes a few times and said quibly: "I want to help Third Uncle watch the pipe in the puddle. If it flows down with the water, we will suffer a big loss."
"Stop coming!" Li Changle knocked on him, "As long as the tide doesn't rise, it will never flow away."
"Lazy people are too lazy to deal with things." Sister-in-law Li felt that there was nothing she could do about her eldest son.
I have been beaten and beaten, scolded and coaxed, but in the end it seems to be of no use.
After more than half an hour, the sound of water flow from the other side of the puddle became smaller and smaller, and from time to time, the sound of splashing water came from the puddle, which was the sound made by fish hitting flowers.
"Damn~ There are really fish in the puddle, I can even see the back of the fish!" Li Xiaoyang, who had been paying attention to the puddle, shouted excitedly.
"Speak nicely!"
Li Changle knocked him, went up with the net bag and poured the snails into the bucket, put on his gloves, and walked down with the net in hand.
Before he arrived, he saw water splashing in the pit. Lao Gao swung his fan-like fish tail and hid in the deep water.
"Uncle Third, hurry up, there's a big fish in there!" Li Xiaoyang was so excited that he didn't even pry out the conch anymore. He climbed onto the rock, put the net bag into the bucket, and ran after him with the net in hand.
Sister-in-law Li, Second Sister-in-law Li and Xiang Xiaoyu were also alarmed by his excitement. They stopped prying the screw and stretched their necks to look at the puddle.
Sister-in-law Li exclaimed, "My mother, it seems to be a blue grouper, hiding on the rocks, it's quite big."
"Look, there are black snapper, shrimp, and crab!" Xiang Xiaoyu also shouted excitedly.
Li Changle also saw it. He found that there were a lot of black snapper in this water area. He caught a few small ones and some big ones on the way here, and there were several more in the puddles.
Seeing that the three of them were stretching their necks to look this way, they quickly warned, "Be careful, don't fall."
Sister-in-law Li nodded, "Okay! Let Xiaoyang help you catch it."
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
With his two sisters-in-law here, he couldn't take off his trousers, so he pulled up his trousers to his thighs and got into the puddle.
The water was up to his calves, and the rocks were exposed in the shallowest part of the pit. The water level near the rocks looked a bit deep.
When I turned over the stone, I saw a big eight-clawed creature. When I saw someone coming, I spread my tentacles and ran away towards the deep water.
Li Changle grabbed it and the octopus's tentacles were tightly attached to a stone. He stepped forward and used some strength to grab it and threw it into the bucket.
One is a bit too little, two more will be enough for lunch.
Li Changle turned over a stone, and a stone crab quickly got into the crack of the stone. Seeing that it was not big, he let it go.
Suddenly, I felt something stepped on my soles. I was so frightened that I hurriedly raised my legs. I saw a turbot fish as big as a bowl swimming forward quickly against the bottom of the pit.
"I was shocked." Li Changle stepped forward, grabbed it with both hands, and grabbed it twice before grabbing it.
The oblate body of the fish was almost as big as his two palms. After weighing it, it weighed about two kilograms. He happily put it into the bucket and continued his treasure hunt.
As for the deep water area under the rock wall, he should ignore it for the time being and let the big blue spot hide in it. After he has explored all the shallow water areas and rock crevices here, he will go to draw water for it.
The water in the puddle became shallower and shallower, and the fish living in the shallow water fled toward the deeper water. A quite large yellow-finned fish swam out from the crack in the rocks, swung its tail quickly, and hid in the slightly deeper water.
Li Changle moved over gently, then violently held down its head, causing the splash of water to soak his clothes and pants.
"Uncle Third, this yellow-finned fish is so big!"
"Yes, it's more than two kilograms." Li Changle smiled and put the fish into the net bag, continued to search for it, and caught another black sea bream.
At this time, the rocks in the shallow water area were completely exposed.
The water on the rock wall could no longer be pumped up, so Li Changle collected a few pipes, dragged the two water pipes to the rock wall, put the pipes in, and planned to continue pumping water.
I lowered my head and saw two long tentacles swinging in the crevices of the rocks. I was delighted, "Oh my goodness, there is a big flower dragon hiding here."
After saying that, he hurriedly put the water-filled pipe outside the puddle, reached out and grabbed the tentacles, and pulled them twice but couldn't pull them out. He was worried that the tentacles would be broken and he would not be able to sell them at a high price. He wanted to reach out and grab them, but the crack in the stone was not wide enough.
Simply let go and move the stone.
"Uncle Third, it's so cool in the water. If I had known, I would have gone into the water to fish earlier."
Li Changle turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaoyang, who had stripped down to only his underwear. Thinking of the tiger fish he caught in the water hole last time, he said, "Be careful, some fish are poisonous."
"Oh! I'm going to catch crabs over there."
"Come here and help me catch this big flower dragon."
"Okay!" Li Xiaoyang ran towards him holding the net and splashing in the water, "What does the big flower dragon look like? I haven't seen it yet!"
"You can find it when you catch it from the cracks in the rocks."
"Look at me." Li Xiaoyang reached out and grabbed the tentacles of the big flower dragon and pulled it out hard. He pulled the big flower dragon out of the crack in the stone.
He held the colorful prawns in both hands and looked at the big flower dragon with bright eyes.
"Shajia, there are such beautiful prawns."
Before Li Changle had time to shout, he saw that the lobster had been pulled out by him. When he looked carefully, he saw that the tentacles were still growing on the tentacles and were not broken at all.
"You little bastard, you almost scared the soul out of me."
"Hey!" Li Xiaoyang held up a large flower dragon that was longer than his forearm, "Uncle Third, how much can one like this sell for?"
"The ones over 30 centimeters only cost 15 yuan per catty. This one is much worse. I should be able to sell it for 10 to 20 yuan."
Li Changle looked at the proud little guy and suddenly remembered the saying that the older you get, the less timid you become.
