"Brother, I'm familiar with this area. You take a look around and I'll put the jar in the water." Chen Yongwei said, quickly taking off his clothes, rolling them into a ball and stuffing them into the backpack, picking up one end of the rope and going into the water.
"Come back, take off your trousers before going." Li Changle said, standing under a large protruding rock, put down his backpack and started to take off his trousers, "It would be great if there was a boat, so as not to go into the water."
Chen Yongwei walked under the rock and said: "Brother, you are more particular. I have never brought pants to change into the water before. On a hot day, I was dry after wearing them for a while."
Li Changle glanced at him, "Fool, you are young and angry now, so of course you won't feel any discomfort. When you get older and get rheumatism, you will know how serious it is."
There are many old fishermen in the fishing village who have suffered from rheumatism due to being exposed to damp and cold environment for a long time. Not only are they suffering, but the older ones have difficulty moving.
"I know about rheumatism. I heard that the pain is so excruciating that I can't even walk. I don't want to get that disease."
????????????
As he spoke, Chen Yongwei took off his pants, revealing the red floral trousers underneath. It looked like he often went to the sea, and even the skin on his thighs was tanned like a loach.
Li Changle pointed at him and said with a smile: "You cool guy, why are you still wearing such fancy pants?"
Chen Yongwei looked down and grinned: "What are you afraid of! I don't wear it outside!"
Li Changle smiled and nodded, "Yeah! You can do it if you like." After working for a long time, this guy is an honest man on the outside but coquettish on the inside.
The two of them each pulled the rope and entered the water until they were waist deep. Then they plunged into the water. After swimming a hundred or ten meters, they firmly inserted the bamboo pole into the underwater mud and fixed it.
The lead pendants at both ends of the fishing rope sank, and the plastic jar floating on the sea bubbled and bubbled. The jar was filled with water and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
I swam a little further to the side and put another fishing rope filled with plastic cans into the water.
The two of them went ashore naked and wearing only a pair of trousers. Li Changle saw two arm-sized rattle snails on the beach and happily stepped forward to pick them up.
The rattle snail belongs to the shellfish of the class Gastropoda, the family Aminopodidae, and its Chinese name is Changxiang snail. Some also call it horn snail, big horn snail, and big rattle snail.
The rattle snail is larger in size and has a layer of earthy brown velvet-like shell skin on the surface. In ancient times, many peoples used large conches as horns, and the most common one is the giant rattle snail.
The big rattle snail has more snail meat and tastes very delicious.
In his previous life, Li Changle went to a barbecue restaurant and his favorite food was charcoal-grilled snails.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant uses various ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorns, diced fat meat, ginger, green onions, and rice wine to grill it. After the grill is cooked, the juice inside bubbles and sizzles.
The umami flavor of the snail meat comes out after being grilled over charcoal, making your mouth water.
The roasted snail meat is rich in flavor and has an endless aftertaste, which is in perfect contrast to the tenderness, sweetness and tenderness of the boiled snail meat.
"Brother, if you ring the gong, Adong's family will charge you fifty cents each."
"I won't sell it anymore. I'll take it back and eat the snail meat, and give the shell to Xiaohai Xiaozhou to play with."
"If you want to let them play with it, you have to remove this layer of yellow stuff to reveal the milky white shell to make it look nice."
"Go back and do it slowly."
Li Changle returned to the big rock and quickly put on his clothes. Chen Yongwei also came back.
By this time, the heavy rain had stopped and the sunset had come out. The rain on a typhoon day is like this. It comes and goes quickly, which is also a sign that the typhoon is approaching.
"Brother, how many octopuses will live in these two hundred jars?"
"I don't know, I'd be happy if I had half of it."
"Half of them are a hundred. Those who go out to the sea to launch earthen jars can only have four or five earthen jars at most. They say that sometimes most of the earthen jars are filled with goods."
Li Changle put the sacks into his backpack and looked at the plastic tanks floating on the water in the distance. They were filled with seawater and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
"This is better. As long as half of the two hundred jars are occupied by octopuses, tomorrow he will buy hundreds more and cover the entire reef beach with jars."
"Then we can earn several dollars just collecting cans every day!" Chen Yongwei admired him very much. "Brother, no wonder they say you are smart. Look at those people who never thought of using plastic cans."
"That's because those people, unlike your brother, have lived an extra lifetime!"
Li Changle looked at the honest guy, thought about it and warned: "After the jar is taken back, no matter what the harvest is, don't tell outsiders, you know?"
"I know, those people are like blowflies, they will follow them as long as they have a clue." Chen Yongwei put the bamboo hat in the backpack and picked up the bucket, "Brother, let's put the basket here and go to the puddle to have a look."
"Okay!"
The two of them got a stone and put it in their backpacks, and then walked towards the shallow puddle behind the rock. The water in the big puddle was too deep and they couldn't see anything at all.
Walking to a shallow puddle, Li Changle saw a green shrimp and was about to fish it out with a net. Before he could do it, Chen Yongwei pulled him.
He excitedly pointed to the stone in the puddle, "Brother, look over there."
Li Changle looked in the direction he pointed and saw the blue crabs next to the stone. "Damn! A pair of blue crabs. Quickly grab them with pliers. It will be difficult to catch them if they hide under the stone later."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei took the pliers into the water and walked to the stone. He saw two crab shells at a glance. He picked them up and turned around and shouted excitedly, "Haha, brother, these two have just shed their shells."
"Okay! This is what happened to us. When I picked up the yellow-finned fish, I had a hunch that we would catch something good today!"
Li Changle didn't even care about catching the green shrimp, and went over to take the crab shell from his hand, "Hahaha! We are still a pair. Things that are rare in a thousand years have happened to both of us... This kind of luck is really good. Well done to the horse!"
He searched all the words in his mind and came up with this sentence. He felt that it was because of his lack of education that he could not accurately describe his excited mood at this moment.
A crab sheds its shell 13 times in its life, and grows a little larger each time. During the shelling, it also sheds its gills, food pouch, and internal organs.
After shelling, the whole body of the crab is soft and there is no trace of dirt. At this time, the meat of the soft-shell crab is extremely tender and delicate, and you can eat it even with the shell.
Soft-shell crabs are rare because they are hard to find. The main reason is that their new shells are soft only for a few hours and will gradually harden after being in the water for a few hours.
"Brother, they have retracted into the hole." Chen Yongwei looked at the excited Li Changle, pointed at the stone with pliers, and poured a basin of cold water down from his pocket.
"...You, you, you guy!" Li Changle was glad that he was still young and did not have high blood pressure, otherwise, if he did this, his blood vessels would probably burst.
He raised the crab shell in his hand angrily, "These things are dead and can't run away. Why don't you take them out first and then ask me to look at the crab shell?"
