Chapter 60: Sea food that can be used as medicine
Now he saw it clearly and shouted excitedly, "Damn it, it turns out to be a cat shark!"
Li Changle chased after it excitedly and fished it twice, but it escaped and disappeared into the water.
.......
He simply put down the net and went into the water, following the direction in which the cat shark escaped.
The cat shark is a small shark, the largest one is two to three meters long, and the one Li Changle saw was about one meter long.
Its name comes from the fact that it has a pair of cat-like eyes. Not only are the eyes similar, but it is also as aggressive as cats. It not only preys on fish, but also traps birds flying in the sky.
When his hands touched the edge of a reef, he touched something with both hands. It felt as rough as grabbing coarse sandpaper, and it was not at all as slippery as other fish.
He knew immediately that he had found the hiding place of the cat shark.
"You think I can't find you if you hide!" Li Changle put his hands together and grabbed it. The cat shark swung its tail and struggled.
Cat Shark's strength was quite strong, and the splash of water hit him all over his body.
Li Changle grabbed the fish's body with both hands and grabbed it out of the water.
He returned to the rock and put it into his backpack. The cat shark left his control and jumped up violently.
Fortunately, he was quick to step on the strap, otherwise the basket would have been knocked over by it.
Take out the net bag and put the cat shark in the net bag, put it into the water, tie the rope on the net bag to a reef, and continue searching with the dip net.
I caught a few white shrimps in the small puddle next to me. I thought I would get a few more so that I could eat sweet boiled shrimps at noon. I turned around and saw a large flower crab next to the stone in the puddle on the right. Blowing bubbles leisurely and contentedly.
Maybe I just had a delicious meal and am reminiscing about it!
Li Changle happily put down the net and aimed it at the big flower crab quickly and accurately. He covered it with his pocket, walked over, pressed the crab shell and grabbed it, took out the rope from his trouser pocket, tied it up and put it into the net bag.
The meat of flower crab is not as fresh as that of white crab, and it is cold in nature. People with weak spleen and stomach are prone to diarrhea after eating it. Not many people like it in the years when seafood resources are abundant.
But the whole crab can be used as medicine, it has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing swelling, and can treat headaches, heat boils, and boils.
"Brother, you are here!"
Li Changle turned around and saw him standing under the big rock, waving to him proudly, "Come over and see what I caught on the net."
"What is it?" Chen Yongwei walked over, waited for him to untie the rope of the net bag, and saw the cat shark inside, "What's so strange about this thing? It's so unpalatable that no one wants it if it's given away."
Li Changle was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes at him, "I didn't say eat it. After the skin of this fish is dried, it becomes a medicinal material called plum shark. Let's take it back, peel it, dry it, and send it to a Chinese medicine shop to see if it can be sold. money?
Also, I heard that the restaurant will raise some nice-looking marine fish. Let’s take them to the Phoenix Restaurant and ask them if they want them. If not, we’ll take them home, skin them, dry them and sell them.”
In his last life, the Chinese medicine shop in town asked his elder brother to help him catch it. Only then did he know that the skin of this thing can be used in traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the stomach and lungs.
There are also people who like to keep fish and keep them as pets. No one should want them now, but medicinal materials are collected at all times. These things often hunt in groups of three or five, and when fishing boats are available, they can be taken home, skinned and dried. Sell for money.
Chen Yongwei nodded after hearing this and looked at him with admiration, "Brother, you know better. I didn't know it could be used as medicine."
"I also heard it when I was playing in the town." Li Changle said, lifting up the net and putting the white shrimps and flower crabs inside into the bucket. "Why are you here so quickly?"
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei also brought up the net bag, "I brought the fish home, and my sister-in-law said that she would pick out the big ones and keep them, and send the small ones to the dock for sale, so I came right away."
"Also, Wang Laobian's grandson told Adong at the pier that the ground cages we lowered were washed away by the water, and he laughed at us for being so arrogant. We lowered so many underground cages at one time, and now we can't even find the underground cages. Already."
"Don't worry about what people like that do!" Li Changle said nonchalantly, "Go and collect the plastic cans first."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei thought that he reacted quickly and did not let him discover their catch. Otherwise, the news would have spread all over the dock by now, and they would have done a lot of catching things.
The two carried the catch and walked towards the big rock. They found that the sea water had receded a lot and most of the bamboo poles had been exposed. The two took off their pants and walked towards the bottom of the jar.
"Brother, I'm going to collect the bunch of jars at the bottom. You collect the bunch at the top. We'll lift up the jars and collect the octopuses. We'll still put the jars in the water. We can collect them again tomorrow."
Li Changle nodded, thought about it and then shook his head: "Let's forget it! If there is a typhoon, you won't know where the jar will be blown."
Chen Yongwei stopped and looked at him, "When I came here, I heard people in the village saying that the typhoon was not coming. Everyone in the village who had fishing boats went to Qianmen Port to sail."
Li Changle asked in surprise: "Did the brigade's loudspeaker broadcast?"
"That's not true." Chen Yongwei looked at the calm sea, "Didn't there be times before when the radio said that a typhoon was coming, but it didn't come?"
"That's true, but they are too impatient. Can't they wait for two more days?"
Li Changle was vaguely worried, but he didn't remember at all in his mind that there was a destructive typhoon this year. He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember it, so he had to let it go.
"We are all busy making money, how can we wait!" Chen Yongwei turned his head, "Brother, do you want to keep the jar?"
"Keep it. Plug the bamboo pole deeper. It will be safer if a typhoon comes."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei walked forward.
Li Changle walked to the bamboo pole, picked up the fishing rope, followed the clues, and grabbed the first jar. When he saw the octopus clinging tightly to the jar, he nodded with satisfaction.
The plastic jar that contains bubble gum has a large opening. You can reach in and grab the octopus that is tightly attached to the jar. When you open it, you will harvest an octopus.
Li Changle happily put it into the sack, pulled the fishing rope to lift the second jar, an empty one, and continued to move forward while pulling the fishing rope.
The jar lifted this time was heavier than the last one, and a big octopus stuffed the jar full. Seeing that their home was in danger, the big guys fled in a hurry.
"Octopod, where are you running away from?"
Li Changle grabbed it and dragged it out. It was at least over a kilogram heavy, with several tentacles stretching out as long as it did. He didn't know how he stuffed himself in.
Two of the three jars were in stock, and he was very happy. Now he was even more motivated and worked even harder.
