Chapter 216 There’s a lot of fun at the beach
A group of people arrived at the place where the fishing boat docked. Li Changle and Chen Yongwei went to the boat to put the fish into the live cabin. They opened the lid and saw that the tiger eel was still in the net bag.
This thing is very powerful, so if you don't put it in a net bag, you are worried that it will bite the fish inside, or that it will escape from prison.
The two put the live fish into the living cabin, put the dead ones in rubber buckets and covered them with ice. When they turned around, they saw duck eggs and seabird eggs in the bamboo baskets.
Chen Yongwei looked at the sea ducks that had fled to the southwest of the island to hunt with his eyes shining, "Brother, look at such a big group, there are at least several hundred of them. Let's go net a few more and go back after dinner."
"If you want to eat, go to the net!" Li Changle covered the cotton wool, pressed the bucket lid tightly, and the two turned and walked towards the shore.
When I returned to the shore, I found that Zhou Ruonan and his children had already collected firewood and built a simple earth stove with stones.
Brother Li and Brother Li were sitting and smoking against a big rock. The two brothers also went over and sat down to watch Zhou Ruonan's sister-in-law preparing her food.
The rice was steamed in the morning, and it was filled with steel pot. It was still a little warm under the strong sun. The children clamored that it was just right and there was no need to reheat it.
The children are no longer interested in wild duck eggs, and they clamor for grandma to fry seabird eggs.
"Okay, let's fry seabird eggs." Zhou Ruonan pointed to the bucket and said, "We also need to get some fresh products, snails, shrimps, prawns, bergamot snails and fish. Which ones do you like to eat?"
Li Xiaoqing quickly raised her hand, "I don't want shrimps, nor shrimps. I've been peeling and eating shrimps these past few days, but now I get annoyed when I see shrimps."
"We don't want it either." Li Xiaoyang and others also shook their heads in opposition.
Li Xiaohai brought their small bucket over and said, "Mommy, we will only eat oysters, small abalone and Buddha's hand snails."
The older ones and the younger two all raised their hands in agreement, "Xiao Hai is right, we will eat this."
Sister-in-law Li picked up a small abalone and looked at it, "Hey~ where did you pry it? It's quite big!"
Li Xiaohai pointed to the rocks below, "It's right there. There are many rocks on the rocks. We picked up a big one to pry, and my uncle also picked up a bucket and put it on the boat."
"Okay, let's eat these things!" Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Li emptied the bucket into a mesh bag, went to the water bucket on the boat and wiped some more, washed it and brought it to the shore to prepare for boiling water.
Zhou Ruonan used a spatula to shovel some lard into the pot. After the oil was hot, he cracked a dozen bird eggs in it and fried them until they were browned on both sides. He shoveled them into a bowl and fried them in another pot before starting to roll them.
meal.
Take out a small curtain made of thin bamboo strips from the bamboo basket, place it on the cutting board, scoop a spoonful of rice on top and press it flat.
Tear a piece of fried egg and put it on top, a pinch of finely chopped pickles, a pinch of shrimp, roll up the bamboo curtain, and wrap it up with a piece of rice.
After Sister-in-law Li put the boiled snails and small abalone in a bowl, she boiled half a pot of water. After turning off the heat, she added a little lard, shredded seaweed, a pinch of shrimp skin, and a large pot of seaweed soup was ready.
"Aping, you guys are here for dinner." Sister-in-law Li shouted to a few people who were leaning against the rocks, smoking and chatting.
"Okay!" The brothers stood up, patted their buttocks and walked over there.
A few children moved some rocks nearby, and a dozen people sat around on the sand. They picked up the boiled small abalone from the pot, dipped it in vinegar, and put it into their mouths. It was soft, smooth, and plump.
The meaty texture is deliciously fresh.
It's a good time these days. The ocean is not polluted. Whether it's snail meat or clam meat, they are both plump and delicious. They taste so delicious in the mouth!
Drinking seaweed soup, eating fresh food and watching the sea ducks and seabirds hunting on the sea in the distance is a unique experience.
Li Xiaozhou bit into the white and tender snail meat and said, "Dad, this is so fun. You can bring us here next time."
Li Changle smiled and nodded, "I'll bring you back next year during the summer vacation."
Li Xiaomei pouted, "Uncle Third, I won't be here for a long time next year."
Li Xiaozhou nodded, "It's been a long time since we celebrated the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, we have fried sweet potato chips, and Grandma also fried pumpkin seeds for us to eat."
Li Xiaotao took it and said: "This year we will eat sugar cakes, winter melon candies, small cake candies, fried peanuts, and fried melon seeds. Xiao Lai's family has them every year."
Sister-in-law Li nodded cheerfully, "Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will buy you whatever you want to eat during the Chinese New Year this year."
"oh oh!"
The group of people had eaten and drank enough, and the children were clamoring to go to the beach to swim in the sea. Brother Li heard that Chen Yongwei said he was going to fish for wild sea ducks, so he also went along.
The group of people was divided into three groups. Zhou Ruonan's sister-in-law was left to clean up the mess. Li Changle and Brother Li took a group of children and walked towards the beach below.
The way down was a bit steep. Li Changle and Brother Li each carried a small bean sprout on their shoulders, and the older ones followed behind, chattering non-stop.
"You are not allowed to run into the deep water for a while, do you hear me?" Brother Li looked back at Li Xiaoyang, "Especially you, please remember this."
"I heard it. Every time I go to the beach, I say it's not like we don't have ears!"
"It'll be better if you have longer ears, so you won't hang your tail every time you take an exam."
"I'm still a few points away from passing the exam, and there are people in our class who pass the test with double yolks."
"Double yolk egg?" Brother Li was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant, and said angrily, "If you dare to give me a double yolk egg test and pour your third aunt's brand, I will send you to the mountain to break stones.
"
"I got it!" Li Xiaoyang squeezed him away and walked away. When he was far away, he started to mutter, "If you send me to help the boat, I will take the double yolk test when school starts."
A group of people went to the beach, where they saw the blue water and white waves. Stepping on the soft beach, they could feel the soft sand rolling under their feet.
There are many shellfish, flower clams, white clams, blood clams, and clams everywhere on the beach exposed after the tide goes out.
"Wow~ there are so many!" Li Xiaozhou shook off Li Changle's hand and ran towards those shellfish.
The Li Xiaoqing sisters took off their plastic sandals and stepped on the seawater along the waves. Wave after wave of seawater hit their calves, which was cool and relieved from the heat. They happily threw the shellfish and conches they picked up into the bucket.
"Abba, the sea water here is blue, and the beach is better than the beach in Shatou Village. It's so comfortable to walk on."
"Put on your shoes, be careful of shells piercing your feet." Brother Li said dryly, bending down to pick up a big red snail rolling in the waves, "Ah Qing, let you play with it."
"It looks good!" Li Xiaoqing happily took it and went to show off to her cousin.
Li Changle picked up a plump clam and waved to several children, "Hurry up and pick up the fat ones."
Brother Xiang Xiaoyu nodded and picked up several plump blood clams and clams. The sound of shellfish being thrown into the bucket could be heard from time to time.
"Hurry up, Xiaoyang, there is a fish in the waves... right in front... hurry up, it's about to run away..."
"I saw it... I caught it, another smelly black sea bream, hahaha..."
When Brother Li saw that he was safe, he lowered his head to pick up clams.
"Wow~haha! Da Qingzi!" Li Xiaohai's cheers rang out again.
Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)
Li Changle smiled and said: "Pick more and I will steam the green seeds for you when I go back."
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaobo threw the clam in his hand into the bucket, ran over to a small hole in the shape of a pig's nostril, reached out and picked it out, and after a moment he held up a green clam and said, "Look, I'll pick one out too!"
"Who doesn't know how to dig holes?" Li Xiaotao shook a green zi at him, threw it into the bucket with a splash, and continued to look for the green zi hole.
There are many small fish and shrimps stuck on stones and stranded on the beach. Pick up the big shrimps, throw the live small fish back into the sea, and wait for the dead ones to leave, and the sea ducks will come looking for food.
"Dad, hurry up, there's a big crab over there!" Li Xiaozhou hurried over, pulling Li Changle and pointing at the big blue crab running sideways toward the sea water in front of him and shouted.
"Look at Dad!" Li Changle hurriedly chased a few steps, stepped on the crab shell, stretched out his hand to catch the blue crab, "I will steam the blue crab for you tonight!"
Li Xiaozhou shook his head in disgust, "It's not delicious. I want to eat big ribs."
"Haha! Little idiot!" Li Changle rubbed him, "Okay, I'll ask my mother-in-law to buy you big ribs tomorrow."
"Oh, brother, we have big ribs to eat!" Li Xiaozhou cheered and ran towards Li Xiaohai.
"Uncle Ale, I picked up a large conch!" Xiang Xiaoxing showed off a large loquat conch to him.
"Look for a few more. These ones can be sold for one yuan each."
"Oh!" Xiang Xiaoxing ran towards Xiang Xiaoyu excitedly, "Brother, did you hear, it's a dollar a piece!"
Xiang Xiaoyu nodded happily and followed Teacher Zhou and his family on a trip to the island today. They pried a lot of Buddha's hand snails and picked up a lot of sea duck eggs and seabird eggs.
After selling, you will have money to buy food, and with the remaining money you can buy some cotton to lengthen the short cotton coats and trousers.
Li Changle looked at the children who were playing crazy and secretly regretted that he didn't have mobile phones these days and couldn't record this happy scene.
Li Xiaoyang came over with a handful of clams and threw them into the bucket, looking at him with a smile, "Uncle, did I do well today?"
"Not bad, keep up the good work!" Li Changle picked up a green seed and threw it into the bucket. In just a moment, he picked up most of the bucket.
"Uncle Third," Li Xiaoyang looked at him with a flattering look, "Can you give me a piece of the money from selling the big black sea bream?"
"Didn't you save money to buy snacks and spend them all so quickly?"
"The pocket money Xiaoqing was holding, my mother-in-law took away the money I saved."
"Is it okay for me to be a junior? How much money have I saved?"
"Two six yuan, I saved it for more than half a year, but my mother-in-law confiscated it all."
"What bad thing did you do?"
"Boss Lai and his friends were playing cards at the canteen, and I played two cards. When Grandpa Dong saw it, he told my mother-in-law."
"You deserve it!" Li Changle looked at him and said seriously, "Remember this, if you try to make money with them again, I will break your foot bones."
He vaguely remembered that the eldest son of the Lai family was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he would play billiards and gamble with others in the town. The eldest son Lai sold his fishing boat to pay off his gambling debt.
Later, I worked on a ship. As long as I got my wages, I would gamble at the dock. I would not go home until I lost all my money.
Learn from good people, play with such people, and all you will learn is gambling!
This was the first time that Li Xiaoyang saw such a serious third uncle. He nodded quickly and said, "I remember!"
Li Changle saw this and said warmly: "Uncle San knows that you don't like studying and like to go fishing at sea.
But you have to graduate from junior high school no matter what, because as time goes by, there will be more and more advanced equipment on fishing boats. Only by learning more culture can you control a big boat."
