Catch the sea
In recent years, many people's living standards have improved, but not every household is willing to go fishing. What's more, with such a bright sun, wouldn't it be fun to make money by weaving fishing nets at home?
Moreover, you can’t make money from Taohai, you can only make a bite to eat.
Ye Yaodong walked home and saw only a few people carrying tools and buckets on the road.
As soon as I reached the corner, I saw several women from his family with their children, and a large group of people.
"Are you going to the pier or to the beach at the intersection?"
Lin Xiuqing held her youngest son in her arms and stopped to answer him, "Mom said we should go to the pier. Several of your friends are looking for you to go fishing and are waiting at the door."
"I know, you go ahead. I'll be back in a moment."
Ye Yaodong trotted towards his home. Several of his friends were sitting with their feet up in the shade at the door of his house, waiting. They watched him running over from a distance and joked a few words.
"Hey, our brother Dong has become more diligent. He even went to help weed the grass on a hot day?"
He gasped and stood under the shade of the tree, stretching out his hand to fan the wind, "Can't I contribute to my new home?"
Ah Zheng said righteously: "When will we start building it? If you need help, let us know and we will help you."
"If you don't work at home, come over and work for me, your mother won't beat you with a mallet!"
"No, my mother will only praise me for my hard work! What's more, we are all brothers. If something happens to my family, you will help me."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart: A loving mother often loses her son.
Forgot that I am also a ‘loser’!
"Okay, I'll call you when I need it. Have you brought all your tools? Wait for me. I'll go inside to get a hook and bucket, and a hat by the way. It's too hot."
"Hurry up. If you're too late, you'll be picked up."
"immediately!"
He ran in and didn't find where to put the hook, so he grabbed a fire tong and hurried out again. The old lady held a bamboo tube and called behind her, "Dongzi, bring the tea."
He turned back and took the bamboo tube from the old lady, "Thank you, grandma, go back! Just sit in the house or at the door to enjoy the cool air. Don't go to the backyard. If the ground is wet, be careful that your feet will slip."
"Hey, good~"
"I'm leaving!"
A group of five people each carried buckets and tools and walked excitedly to the dock.
Xiaoxiao said excitedly: "It seems that we haven't gone to Taohai in two years."
Ah Zheng reminded: "Isn't it more? Since you guys got married one after another, we haven't gone out much."
"It's okay, let's relive our old dreams today and walk faster." Ye Yaodong was full of infinite hope for a new life at this time, and his whole person seemed a little positive.
Seeing that he was so fast, everyone quickened their pace to keep up.
When we arrived at the pier, there were already a lot of people on the beach below, including young and old, most of whom were his family!
Moreover, the adults were distractingly shouting that the children were not allowed to go outside the tide and were only allowed to play on the beach.
When Ye Yaodong's two sons saw him coming, they shouted loudly, "Dad! Dad! Mom, dad is here too!"
Lin Xiuqing raised her head and glanced at someone who had arrived late. I wish she hadn't fooled her on the pillow last night. "I understand. Just play next to me and don't run around."
Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but said: "Yaodong has been very diligent these past two days!"
"Who knows how many days it will last? Maybe it's been a long time since I've been to Taohai, and maybe it's just a new thing." Sister-in-law Ye frowned. She didn't believe that Ye Yaodong got better all of a sudden. After all, the situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change!
"At least I'm adjusting now. I'm not like before where I can't see anyone all the time."
"If he doesn't work harder and be more responsible, we'll see who will support him after the family is divided!"
When Ye Yaodong came closer, he also heard the discussion between his two sisters-in-law. He couldn't help but frown. Women talk a lot!
"Dad, where are you going? Mom said not to go under the tide."
"I'm going to catch fish and crabs. You guys can play here and help dig for sand clams. You're not allowed to follow me."
Several children stopped abruptly and could only watch him walking down. They also wanted to go down to play. If there were no adults around, they would go swimming. What a pity.
"Let's separate and see who catches the most."
"Can!"
This kind of trying to find crabs, fish and shrimps is not as fast as Ye Mu and others digging clams, so few people spend time looking for them, so they are the only ones who are idle.
And Ye Yaodong also tasted the sweetness of catching two blue crabs yesterday, and now walked directly towards the area surrounded by rocks.
He moved a big stone away with the tongs in his hand, and a surprise appeared as he expected: a large nine-segmented shrimp!
"Hey, I found a nine-segmented shrimp! This is the first one!" He quickly picked up the nine-segmented shrimp that was still jumping and held it up to others.
Several people turned around and said, "You're lucky, I got a harvest right after I came down, and it's also nine-section shrimp!"
The nine-knot shrimps are large in size, beautiful in appearance and very good-looking. They have deep and shallow horizontal lines on their bodies and patterns on their tails. When cooked, they have obvious nine-knot white patterns. The meat is fresh and elastic, and is very popular. Ye Yaodong
I also like to eat. I picked up a good start as soon as I came out and I was very satisfied.
"It makes me greedy, I want to catch a few more." Xiao Xiao was full of motivation and casually kicked a stone aside, "Hey, jumping fish? I didn't expect that even just kicking would yield something."
"Oh, you have all gained something, we can't be left behind, let's go...go...separately!"
Everyone originally had the mentality of casually joining in the fun when they were free, but now their interest was aroused.
After the tide recedes, the small fish and shrimps on the seabed are easily caught by large and small rocks. Instead of returning to the sea with the tide, they just stay in the low-lying shallow water areas around the reefs and wait until the next high tide before returning.
to the sea.
Everyone is very experienced. When searching, they always search in low-lying areas with rocks and water.
Ye Yaodong felt that he was somewhat lucky. He just took two steps to the side and saw two stone crabs hiding under a big rock.
"I caught two more, but it's a pity they're not blue crabs. It's better than nothing."
The stone crab has a brown breastplate with red mottled skin, and its claws are roughly bright red. It looks like a stone and has a very thick shell. It likes to inhabit the sandy bottom near the low tide line or the bottom of the sea with lush seaweed. It most often lurks.
Under the stone.
He used fire tongs to directly pick up the two stone crabs hiding under the big rocks into the bucket, and then moved them to the side.
Now in the 1980s, the beach in their village has not yet been developed and is still in a pristine state. The products in the sea area are also extremely rich. After the tide is out, you can go for a walk on the beach without returning empty-handed.
As for how much you can harvest, it depends on the tide and luck.
