Chapter 49: Successful opening

It seems that the typhoon is really coming. It has been more than half an hour and the tide has not receded much.
The waves in the distance rolled forward one after another, and the waves slapped on the rocks, like broken jade splashing away.
????????????
"Brother, the wind and waves are a bit strong, where should we put the can?"
Li Changle thought for a moment, "Go to that big rock, put the jar into the sea, and look for seafood in the nearby puddles and tidal flats."
Chen Yongwei did what he said, and the two of them walked forward against the wind. The typhoon was coming, and there were only a few seafarers here and there on the beach.
The seawater surged up to cover the two people's feet, and then retreated.
Li Changle saw a fish in front of him jumped out of the water, being rolled up by the waves. After the waves receded, the silly fish was stranded on the beach and kept jumping, struggling to get back into the water.
"Damn it! I'm going out to see you!" He ran over with the net and netted the fish. He raised the net and shouted at Ah Wei who was chasing him away, "One big yellow-finned fish."
Chen Yongwei looked at the big fish weighing at least ten kilograms in the net, grinning and showing his white teeth, "Brother, you can even pick up yellow-finned fish. I am here with you just to pick up money!"
Yellow-finned fish is a fish of the genus Acanthopterus of the family Perciformidae, also known as yellow-winged, yellow-legged and yellow-finned seabream, and is known as the best fish.
Its body is oval, with flat sides and a narrow back. The back of the fish body is blue-gray with a golden sheen, and the lower lobes of the pelvic fin, anal fin and caudal fin are bright yellow.
The meat of yellow-fin fish is tender, delicious and full of toughness, unlike those raised in later generations, which taste like sand when eaten.
Li Changle vaguely remembered that in this era, the price of yellow-fin fish seemed to be more valuable than that of large yellow croaker, and could be sold for about one yuan a pound.
He picked up a valuable one at the opening, and he had a premonition that today's catch would be full!
Li Changle happily poured the fish into Chen Yongwei's bucket filled with sea water, "Hurry up, the bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the catch. We have to make a good profit before the typhoon comes."
"Okay!" Chen Yongwei picked up the bucket. Before the two of them walked a few steps, they saw several more fist-sized shellfish. When they got closer, they turned out to be blood clams.
Blood clams, also known as Kui clams, red clams, hairy clams, mud clams, flower clams, etc., are a kind of shellfish marine organisms that usually grow in tidal flats.
Eating blood clams is very simple. Just put a bowl of water, a few slices of ginger, and two green onions. After the water boils, add the snow clams. It only takes ten seconds to cook.
To open a blood clam, you only need a coin. Insert it into the butt groove of the blood clam and twist it left and right. Just listen to a "click" and the blood clam will be opened.
Then you can see blood-like secretion, and everyone thinks that this stuff has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang.
There is a folk saying that "what you eat will replenish your blood." Eating blood clams can replenish blood!
"Good stuff." Li Changle picked it up happily.
Chen Yongwei also said happily: "Brother, I haven't seen such a big blood clam for a long time. They say that these things are good for women after eating them to replenish blood. I took them back and cooked them for my sister-in-law to eat."
"Then I'm not welcome!"
"It's not like I'm an old lady. I obviously want it, but I have to be polite for a long time before taking it away."
"You're a bitch!" Li Changle picked up a clam and smashed it over.
Chen Yongwei dodged and said, "I'm not wrong. Look at the women in the village. Aren't they all like this?"
"You're right, aren't you? You go shopping with a group of women every day. Why don't you coax a girl home?"
"You know what's going on, but you still say I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Li Changle took out the small rake from the basket on his back. As he walked forward, he pressed the small rake and combed the sand hard in one direction. The shellfish buried in the sand were dug out.
"Brother, please slow down, I can't even finish picking them up from behind!" Chen Yongwei picked up a few more blood clams and clams from behind and threw them into the bucket with "plop, plop".
"An octopus!" Li Changle cheered and stepped forward to catch a Hongzhang that weighed about two kilograms and struggled to crawl into the water.
The long tentacles immediately wrapped around his wrist, making them sticky and a bit disgusting.
After Chen Yongwei picked up the clams that Li Changle had raked up and put them into a bucket, he chased after him and saw the octopus. "Brother, at this rate, we will explode the bucket before we reach the big rock."
Li Changle took a look and said, "It's only half a barrel, and it's still too early for the barrel to explode!"
He continued walking forward with a small rake, and saw in the shallow puddle in front of him, there were several soft and erratic tentacles as big as the mouth of a basin, layered on top of each other, blooming like sunflowers in the puddle.
"Shaha!" Li Changle whispered, turned around and waved to Chen Yongwei, pointing to the puddle in front of him.
Chen Yongwei looked in the direction he pointed and nodded with shining eyes.
The cave where Sahui hides is about twenty to thirty centimeters deep. This thing seems to have no eyes, but its reactions are very quick.
Once a person approaches and touches it or it senses an invading enemy, it will immediately tighten its body and hide at the bottom of the cave.
The two men tiptoed forward, and with lightning speed, quickly inserted one foot into the bottom of the ventilation hole of the sandbag, blocking its escape route. At the same time, their hands were not idle, and they quickly dug out the sandbag.
In just a moment, the two of them dug five pieces of sand into the puddle and piled it up.
"Haha!" Li Changle looked at the bulging and hard sandbag in his hand, which was bigger than his wrist, "I dug two big things."
"The three of us are only as big as you." Chen Yongwei spread his hands to show him, and the two of them happily put the sand into the bucket.
Li Changle was walking in front holding the small rake. He felt that the wind was so strong that he could not even wear the hat safely, so he simply opened the buckle and hung the hat on the back of his neck.
The small rake turned up all the turtles, cone snails, flower snails, clams, etc. hidden under the sand.
Chen Yongwei was carrying a bucket and hunched over as he kept picking up things from behind. Unknowingly, the sky became dark.
Suddenly, a drop of rain fell on Li Changle's bare arm. He looked up at the sky and realized that the sun that was shining brightly above his head a moment ago had been obscured by clouds at some point.
The dark clouds overhead tended to get thicker and thicker, and the sky became darker and darker. It looked like heavy rain was coming.
"Damn it! It looks like it's going to rain!"
Suddenly there was a thunderous sound, which startled him. He slapped himself in the mouth, clasped his hands together and confessed to God, saying that he had made a mistake in scolding him.
Seeing his look, Chen Yongwei laughed out loud, "Brother, are you afraid of thunder?"
"Nothing!" Li Changle put the bamboo hat hanging on the back of his neck on his head, tied the rope, and lifted the sack, "Let's go to the reef beach first, put the jar down, and then go to the sea in peace and contentment.
"
"Yeah! On typhoon days, the rain comes and goes quickly!"
Chen Yongwei picked up the bucket and followed him. As he approached the big rock, raindrops began to fall, and the raindrops as big as soybeans made the bamboo hat crackle.
Chapter completed!
