The reason why Ao Muyang wanted to drive the sea was because some people in the village said that Oyster Gen appeared on the beach again.

Oyster Gen is a kind of small sea fish. They don’t grow big, at most four or five centimeters, with a small head and a thin body, like a small fish in the river, but the meat is extremely tender, and it is an excellent small seafood near the sea.

When Ao Muyang was young, catching oysters was a very common thing. The fish of Oysters lived in the mud under the sea, which was a bit like loaches. Adults put the nets on the nets, children dig holes, and every household could get a few or tens of pounds back.

Later, the problem of marine pollution worsened, and the water quality of the sea water became very small. The small fish had very high requirements for water quality. Now it appeared in the beach slough again, proving that the water quality of the Hongyang Sea has improved and the water quality outside the village has been better.

The sea fishing boat docked at the pier, Ao Muyang jumped directly to the beach and asked, "Aunt Si, how are you harvesting? Have you got the oysters?"

A dark-faced woman raised her head and smiled silly: "Ah, village chief, hehe, I'm very lucky today. Look, I'm working with my Guazi and I caught a little."

She showed Ao Muyang the bucket, which was covered with several layers of small fish, which was Oyster Gen.

The boy who was digging next to him raised his head and asked, "Uncle Xiaoyang, do you eat it? I won't catch my mother if you eat it, I will catch it for you."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You should help your mother quickly. Oysters are rare these days. They can be sold for one or two hundred yuan per pound. By the way, don't call me Uncle Xiaoyang, you have a different seniority, just call me brother."

The boy who looked very similar to his mother also smiled foolishly, bent down and started working in the mud.

The children in the village worship Ao Muyang better than adults.

Their world is very simple. Whoever gives them face and gives them dignity will worship whoever they worship.

The Longtou Village led by Ao Muyang is famous throughout the city. When the teenagers are at school or at their classmates' homes, they will immediately look up at them when they learn that he and Ao Muyang have some kinship.

In the evening, after school, Lu Zhizi took off her shoes and came to chase the sea, so Ao Muyang took her to catch Oyster Gen.

Oysters began to appear in spring, but at that time, as the temperature rose to summer, the number of them appeared increased.

However, their spawning period is within a week before and after May Day. During this period, the oysters happened to have fish roe. Not only are the meat delicious, but the bones are also soft and the taste is the best.

At that time, if you forced a search for oysters and Gen, you would have gained something, but the fishermen are now aware of it, especially when the village started to engage in tourism, Ao Muyang was desperately instilling the concept of sustainable development in them.

The villagers knew that they could not fish out of the waters. They rarely fished extensively outside the village during the flood season. Even if there were fish near the sea, they would go to the far sea to let the resources near the sea take a breath.

For example, when swordfish came from the waters outside the village before, the villagers did not fish them wildly, but asked tourists to fish. If someone got off the net, the villagers would take the initiative to persuade them to put them away.

These swordfish will not stay in the waters outside the village for too long. As we all know, the villagers still haven't killed them. They hope to keep the size of this swordfish and come again next year.

Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi into the mud, and the tide was receding in the evening, revealing a large area of ​​seabed.

Last year, many tide dikes were built in the village. These small dams have now become a good tourist project. As the sea water falls, the small dams block some small crabs, shrimps, and aquatic plants and fish.

From time to time, people take their children to discover things on the tide dam. No matter what they get, tourists will scream in surprise.

As the sun sets, the dogs in the village waving their tails and running around on the beach, and the atmosphere of the fisherman becomes richer.

Ao Muyang stepped on the mud flat, and there were many small holes where he landed, some were razor clam holes, some were crab holes, and some were oyster caves.

The most of them are the caves of hermit crabs and tidal crabs. Several tourists picked up small conchs and found the treacherous crabs that appeared inside.

Fiddie crabs cannot be eaten or raised. Now tourists have high cultural level and high quality. After catching Fiddie crabs, they will take photos at most, and most of them will not take them away.

It’s okay to take it away. The happy tourists don’t know that the fish, shrimps and crabs in their hands are actually not pure wild, but Ao Muyang occasionally asks people to buy seedlings and release them...

Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi to look for Oy Gen. He said, "We have to dig holes. Oy Gen caves are easy to find. Their direction is diagonally upward, and the clam caves are straight up. If you compare them carefully, you will see the difference."

Lu Zhizi shook her head: "It's so difficult, the similarity between these caves is much greater than that in Latin and English."

Ao Muyang often caught oysters when he was a child and when he was a teenager. This was very simple for him, but he did not go directly to catch oysters, but found a small piece of shrimp nest.

Pipi shrimp's nest is the three caves of cunning rabbits. After finding a cave, he stepped on it with his feet. The air pressure of the hole changed, and a small hole next to it was water coming out, and then Pipi shrimp probed.

Lu Zhizi reached out to get it in surprise, but Pipi shrimp was very aggressive. When he bounced his head, Lu Zhizi took a breath and quickly put his finger into his mouth.

Ao Muyang pinched the shrimp head with two fingers and put it into the bucket. He smiled and said, "Be careful, why don't you help me carry the bucket and I will catch it. We are together to make a profit and cut off gold!"

He likes activities like this, which reminds him of his childhood.

In the 1990s, fishermen had no toys, and the little fish and shrimps on the beach were the best toys. Whenever they rushed to the sea, they would barefoot and take their dogs on the beach to look for fishing catches.

Open the stone and pick up a crab, sprinkle salt in the hole to catch a clam, and step on water to find a shrimp shrimp. Their childhood days were hidden in these little things.

He caught more than 20 shrimps in a row. Someone noticed his harvest and rushed over to join in the fun.

Ao Muyang taught tourists how to catch pix shrimps with a good temper, and then he left to find oysters.

The Oygen Cave is tilted upwards, and looks very similar to the Pipi Shrimp Cave, but is much smaller because their bodies are very slender.

If you stretch your feet into the small hole, the oyster will run out when you are frightened. Then you can just wait until they fall on the mudflat and pick it up.

Oyster Gen is very interesting. They can jump like grasshoppers after leaving the cave. This is related to their body structure. Their fish tails are very strong and can be spread flat on the mud and then bounced up.

Because the oysters in June have already produced seeds, there is no need to worry about killing them all. They have completed the mission of inheriting the family line, and the fish will have more descendants to expand.

From evening to sunset, Ao Muyang's small bucket was full in about an hour.

Oyster Gen has poor vitality and will die soon after leaving the cave, so it has to be processed. After returning, you have to steam or cook it quickly. Then dry it for drying and mix it with cold dishes, or braised or dried fried.
