Chapter 217 It’s better to be careful

Li Xiaoyang got a headache when he talked about studying. He looked at him with a grimace, "If I graduate from junior high school, I will have to study for four more years!"

"Four years have gone by in a flash. Be obedient. When my uncle earns back the money to buy the big boat, he will buy a TV for you to watch."

Li Changle thought that maybe they would be able to get a few TV sets in a few days, and then one would be distributed to each family.

Then I thought, it would be great if I could get a freezer. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about having no place to store fresh produce.

"Ale, what good stuff did you find?" Zhou Ruonan walked to him with a smile.

"Blue crabs, green seeds, blood clams, clams, flower clams, cat's eye snails..." Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.

He turned around and saw his little son, with hands full of sand, squirting at him with a cat's-eye snail. When he saw him, he turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran, "Abba, you can't catch me, you can't catch me..."

"You little bastard, if I catch you, I'll spread your ass!"

"Be careful, don't run and fall! If you fall and hit a rock, you'll be in trouble." Zhou Ruonan warned the father and son with a smile.

Li Changle pretended that he couldn't catch up, turned around and waited for his wife to come over, looking at her with a smile, "How about enjoying the scenery of Yuandao?"

"Okay, when grandma comes home, I will bring her here to play!"

Li Changle smiled and nodded. It was rare for them to go out for a day together. He was no longer busy fishing. He followed her and went wherever she went.

I picked it up along the way and the bucket was filled to the brim.

The two of them walked to the reef, and Zhou Ruonan took a fancy to those bergamot snails, mussels, and small abalones. He also followed her with a chisel and picked up the plump fish on the reef.

“Damn it, it’s not a sea cucumber, is it?”

Li Changle moved closer to the crack in the rock and looked carefully at the brown thing covered in thorns in the crack. After seeing it clearly, he grinned happily.

"Here I go, it's really a sea cucumber."

He hurriedly took out the iron hook from the bucket, hooked the sea cucumber out, weighed it in his hand, and found that it weighed eight or nine taels.

"Excellent goods!" He muttered to himself and walked towards Zhou Ruonan.

"Look, Nan, Chuiyuan Island is really a treasure island. You can even pick up sea cucumbers, and they are so big."

"Let me take a look!" Zhou Ruonan took it excitedly and was very happy after seeing it. "It's really a sea cucumber! Put it in a bucket quickly. If it is left out of water for a long time, it will dissolve by itself."

"It's not that fast!" Li Changle said, still raising the bucket in front of her, "I'll look for it again!"

Sea cucumbers will self-melt into a watery liquid if left in seawater for a long time. People in fishing villages often add salt to dry sea cucumbers when they find them to make dry goods to prevent sea cucumbers from dissolving themselves.

Sea cucumbers will not only dissolve themselves when they leave sea water, but this will also happen if the growth environment is polluted. In future generations, wild sea cucumbers will never be found offshore.

Anything with ginseng in its name is unusual. When a sea cucumber is attacked by a natural enemy, it will quickly eject all the internal organs in its body for the enemy to eat.

And with the help of the recoil of its internal organs, it can escape without a trace. The sea cucumber without its internal organs will not die and will grow a new set of internal organs in a month or two.

Even if it is cut into two pieces and put back into the sea, it will grow into two complete sea cucumbers in more than half a year.

This stuff is not only high-end seafood, but also a valuable medicinal material. The medicine book says that eating it can nourish the kidneys, replenish the essence, aphrodisiac and treat impotence...

It is also known as Marine Viagra, which is said to be able to fight cancer and improve immunity. No wonder wild sea cucumbers are so expensive in later generations.

Li Changle felt that it would be a pity to sell such a good thing, so he took it back and stewed it for the two old men and Anan to replenish it.

While their health is still good and their absorption function is good, they can make up for the losses.

"I'll look for it with you." Zhou Ruonan happily put the sea cucumber in a bucket, filled it with some water, and followed him to search in the rock pit.

"There is another one in the crack of the stone!"

Li Changle used his hands to pull the sea cucumber out from the crack in the stone. This one is smaller, about six or seven taels.

He turned around and put the sea cucumber in the bucket. He lay down in front of the crack in the stone and took a closer look. When he saw that it was gone, he went to look for it nearby.

Zhou Ruonan moved a piece of rock and found one underneath, "Ale, look at how big this one is, at least a pound."

"Yes, two out of the three are big ones. But this stuff has a lot of water content, and there is only a little bit left after it dries. It would take fifteen or six kilograms to pickle one kilogram of such a big thing."

“It’s very troublesome to pickle dried goods, so it’s better to sell fresh ones!”

"What are you selling just a few of them for? My father's legs are not healed yet. You and my mother-in-law are very busy every day. We go back and kill a chicken and stew it for everyone to replenish."

Zhou Ruonan looked at Li Changle, who had lost a lot of weight during this period, nodded and said, "We'll eat at Ah Wei's house tonight, and tomorrow I'll kill the chicken and stew sea cucumbers."

"Hurry and look for it, find a few more, and stew it in a big pot."

"It's not like sweet potatoes from the ground, they're just there when you dig them up."

Zhou Ruonan smiled and moved a piece of rock away. A red crab quickly escaped into the crevice of the rock. He quickly pinned it down with a hook, pinched the back shell and grabbed it.

"My wife is really good at catching crabs."

"My son is so old and he still doesn't know how to catch him. I'll just buy a piece of tofu and kill him."

The two of them talked and laughed and searched around the rocks, and found two more, but couldn't find them anymore. When they planned to ask Brother Li to look for them in the rocks in front, Brother Li came over.

"Ale, did you find something good?"

"Sea cucumber!" Li Changle happily handed him the sea cucumber, "We found it in the crevices of the rocks, and we were just about to ask you to go look for it together."

When Brother Li saw it, his expression turned bad, "Ale, did you find many? Dad said before that sea cucumbers will hide in the cracks in the rocks in advance to avoid the storm. If there are too many, we have to return home quickly."

After hearing this, Li Changle also remembered that wild sea cucumbers usually live in seaweeds and rock holes, and are the only species that can aestivate.

When the sea water exceeds a certain temperature in summer, they will burrow into rocks or deep water areas to aestivate. They will also hide in rocks or reef crevices to avoid the storm before the storm comes.

Fortunately, we only found a few. If they suddenly appeared in large numbers near the reef pile, it would be troublesome.

Li Changle pointed at the bucket and said, "Not many, only a few in such a big circle!"

Brother Li became relieved after seeing it, "That's good, it might be a sea cucumber hiding in the shade. Let's go look for it in front and see if there are any more?"

Zhou Ruonan held the bucket and looked at the two of them worriedly, "Brother, we still have the child with us, why don't we go back first?"

Seeing her worry, Li Changle raised his hand and looked at the time, "Brother, the children have been playing for an hour or two. Just call them, and we will collect the longline and go home."

"Okay!" Brother Li turned around and shouted to Sister Li, "Afang, we are going back."

Sister-in-law Li turned to look at him, "Why are you leaving all of a sudden? I still have a lot of Buddha's conchs here!"

Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)

"Yes, there are still a lot of small abalones that have not been pried off!" Sister-in-law Li also said.

"Ale picked it up..." Brother Li told them the situation.

After hearing this, Sister-in-law Li laughed and said: "Nan, you are not afraid of just a few sea cucumbers. If the cracks in the rocks are crowded, then you have to go home immediately."

Zhou Ruonan smiled sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, we still have a child, so we'd better be careful."

"Yes, sister-in-law!" Li Changle pointed to his watch, "We have been playing for an hour or two. The children are also tired. We have to go fishing with long lines."

Sister-in-law Li looked at the children sitting lazily in the shade of the reef and said, "Okay, next time you come here, we will come again."

"During this period, I have been setting up ground traps and long-line fishing near here. You can come anytime you want."

Li Changle took the bucket Xiang Xiaoyu brought over and found that the little guy had pried a lot of Buddha's hand snails.

Several children in the family were taking a rest, but the two brothers were still trying to pry the snails. The children who had no support could only rely on their own efforts.

Brother Li waved to the children enjoying the shade under the rocks, "Let's go, let's go fishing with the longline."

"Oh, let's take in the longline and go fishing. Let's go home!"

After hearing this, the children immediately became energetic, climbed up, picked up the buckets, and ran towards the adults. Li Changle and Brother Li picked up the two younger ones and walked back first.

"Mom, my brother fell asleep on my lap and drooled a lot." Li Xiaohai pointed at his pants and said.

"Boss is so good!" Zhou Ruonan took his little bucket and rubbed his head, "Let's go home."

As soon as the group reached the bottom of the reef, Brother Li and Chen Yongwei also came.

"We thought you were still reluctant to leave, and we were going to call you to collect longlines for fishing!" Brother Li said and took Li Xiaomei from Brother Li's back.

"Brother, we netted twelve wild sea ducks, cast two nets, and netted several yellow-finned fish and black snapper." Chen Yongwei said and reached out to take the bucket carried by Zhou Ruonan.

"You're lucky, I'll collect the first group of longlines for you later."

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei carried two full buckets and walked up easily.

Things had been packed up and put on the boat. The group of people went to the place where the boat docked and boarded the boat.

Grandma Zhou Ruonan took the children and sat down while Brother Li started the engine and quickly headed towards the longline.

Li Xiaoyang squeezed in next to Li Changle and sat down, "Third uncle, will you let me try pulling a hook later?"

Li Changle flatly refused, "No, sea fish are very powerful. If you encounter a pike or a big fish, your small body will be pulled into the water by it."

"So powerful?"

"If you don't believe me, just sit over there and watch your Awei fish."

"oh!"

The sea area where the longline fishing was launched was not far away, and it only took about ten minutes to arrive. After the boat slowed down, Chen Yongwei and Li Changle put the bamboo baskets in preparation for collecting the fish.

Brother Li took out the long deflated needle and made preparations. Zhou Ruonan's sister-in-law and the children watched curiously as the several men were busy in an orderly manner.

In the past, I only heard them talk about how they were on the ship, but this was the first time I got on the ship and watched them work.

Chen Yongwei hooked up the buoy and pulled up a two-pound Spanish mackerel on the first hook. Although they were a little disappointed, there were fish on the hook at the first hook, so several people were very happy.

Li Changle collected the buoys and sunken stones, hung the hooks, straightened out the line groups and put them away. Brother Li had already taken the fish and put them in the rubber bucket. The fisherman was going to be killed anyway, so there was no need to occupy the live cabin.

.

When Chen Yongwei pulled the second hook, he felt that he had something. He looked at Li Changle happily and said, "Brother, this one is a bit big."

"Young young man is not bad. He is very happy in love, and his luck has also improved." Li Changle said and remembered that there are many black snappers in this sea area, and he was worried about another big black snapper?

After hearing this, Brother Li came over and stretched his neck to look. Everyone was also looking here, waiting to see what kind of big fish it was?
