In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped!

Xia Nan called Ah Hu and took Sophier to prepare to go out, but Shi Xiangxiang also shouted to follow.

Shi Xiangxiang has just undergone surgery, although it is only a minor operation, it does not have much impact, but it is not suitable for strenuous exercise. However, let her stay at home to do housework, she wants to see Xia Nan's "newly invented" golden finger.

People are emotional animals, and so is Xia Nan!

After two months of getting along, although he didn't regard Shi Xiangxiang as a good friend, he no longer hated her as much as before, thinking that there was no more of her, and no less of her, so he took her with him.

When the four of them squeezed a tricycle to the tidal flat, the tide had receded very dry, and the whole vast muddy field was exposed, and many birds were pecking at small fish and shrimp on it.

Xia Nan didn't want Sophie to get dirty, and was going to let her and Shi Xiangxiang stay on the shore, and he and Ah Hu went to collect the trap!

However, such a thing, as Xia Nan said, what is the meaning of being an audience, you have to participate in it to experience the fun. So Su Fei'er said that she would go down for anything, and she also brought a strap with water shoes on it, and even Shi Xiangxiang prepared one.

Xia Nan couldn't resist her, so she had to take the two daughters together and go into the water along the stream in the middle of the muddy field!

There is water washing the stream all the time, there is not much silt, only sand, it is not so sticky, it is easier to walk, but it is also very difficult.

The four of them walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the location of the first wine jar.

The depth of the wine jar is parallel to the mud surface, and after the tide recedes, the jar is already filled with turbid muddy water, and it is impossible to see whether there is any goods inside.

Ah Huyi is bold, and he directly rolled up his sleeves and put his hand into the wine jar to grope!

Seeing this, Sufier was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, Ah Hu, don't ...... you"

However, she screamed obviously a little late, Ah Hu only reached into the depth of one palm, and his face collapsed, and the person froze there.

Xia Nan saw that he seemed to be pointed, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Hu, what's wrong?"

Ah Hu said weakly: "Brother Nan, I seem to have been tricked!"

Xia Nan was stunned and said, "You were bitten by a snake?"

Ah Hu shook his head, "No!"

Sofiel followed up and asked, "You got caught by a crab?"

Ah Hu nodded and said, "Hmm!"

"Are you stupid?" Xia Nan scolded angrily: "If you are clipped, why don't you quickly pull out your hand, what are you still doing there!"

Ah Hu hurriedly pulled out his hand, and didn't see the crab, but saw a pincer firmly clamped in the palm of his hand.

A crab claw is quite large, as thick as a toe.

Seeing that his hand had been pinched with blood, but there was no expression on his face, Su Feier couldn't help asking, "Ah Hu, aren't you in pain?"

Ah Hu nodded, "It hurts!"

Sofi said, "Why don't you scream when it hurts?"

Ah Hu said weakly: "I'm afraid that you will look down on me if you call out!"

Sufier: "......"

Xia Nan was completely defeated by this guy who was not clever when he should be clever, and pretended to be dead when he shouldn't be dead, "You just scream when it hurts, who will look down on you." We're all mortals, not immortals!"

"Mom!" Ah Hu immediately shook his hand and shouted, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts to death!"

Everyone: "......"

Finally, Ah Hu finally relieved himself, and he was about to reach out and pull out the pliers, but the pliers were very large, and the pliers were very firm, and the tips of the pliers were deeply trapped in the flesh!

Xia Nan saw that he couldn't pull it out, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

It's just that the more he pulls it, the more painful Ah Hu feels, cold sweat comes out, and the pliers still haven't been pulled out.

Seeing this, Sufier hurriedly said: "Don't come hard, it will make it worse!"

Xia Nan asked, "What should I do then?"

Sofir said to Ah Hu: "Ah Hu, stretch out your hand." ”

Ah Hu then reached out to her with the pliers.

Sofier stepped forward to take a look, then opened her mouth and bit it with her big teeth, only to hear a crisp "click", and the joints of the pliers were bitten by her and automatically released.

Ah Hu finally got rid of the tongs, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't forget to put the big tongs in his pocket, he wanted to take it back and cook it at night to avenge the revenge of the tongs!

Sofi took out the band-aid she brought with her, bandaged him and said, "If you get caught in the future, bite it like this, and it will automatically loosen." ”

Ah Hu nodded teachably, "Oh, oh!"

Sofi took out three pairs of labor gloves from the front pocket of her water pants and handed one pair to each of them, "Wear gloves before collecting the trap, so that even if you get caught, it won't hurt so much!"

Ah Hu nodded again and said, "Got it, thank you, Sister Fei'er." ”

Sofi confessed again: "You have to ask grandpa more about these skills of catching fish and crabs." Don't expect Xia Nan, he's a big young master who doesn't understand anything. ”

Shi Xiangxiang finally spoke up: "Agree with +1!"

Ah Hu said: "But Brother Nan can invent crab trap agent, and there is also a super fishing bait!"

Shi Xiangxiang snorted coldly: "Then he just kills and buries him, if you count on him, ten fingers are not enough to be clipped." ”

Xia Nan was embarrassed, but he was speechless, if it weren't for the Sea King system, he wouldn't have invented anything.

"Ah Hu, is the injury serious?"

"No problem!" Ah Hu looked at his hand, "No problem, it's just a little broken." ”

"Then let's get the jar up together, and pour out the water to see how many crabs are in it. ”

"I can do it alone!" Ah Hu reached out and grabbed the mouth of the altar and pulled it out hard.

There was a "click" sound, and the wine jar was not pulled out, but a large piece was cracked.

Immediately, muddy water flowed out of the jar, and the crabs were visible.

There is more than one, not only two, but densely packed with nearly half of the wine jar, the small one is only the size of a matchbox, but the big one is bigger than a net bag! Most of them are stone crabs, blue crabs, and only some brown crabs with red colors, roughly estimated to be forty or fifty catties!

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Sufil, "so many crabs!"

Shi Xiangxiang was also made her scalp tingle, "Xia Nan, what the hell are you doing, why are there so many crabs!"

Xia Nan had an innocent expression on his face, what does it matter to me, this is a crab trap given by the system, it has to have such a strong effect, what can I say?

Sufir was surprised and rejoiced, and laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth again!

Seeing her so happy, Xia Nan couldn't help laughing, but when she saw the crabs crawling in the wine jar, and a bit of a tiger catching turtles, she didn't know how to start.

He's also afraid of crabs, he was caught once when he was netting on the boat before, and he still has palpitations.

Not to mention Ah Hu, the hand that was caught still hurts!

Shi Xiangxiang saw the embarrassed appearance of the two of them who didn't dare to start, and couldn't help but gloat, "It's cool this time, there are so many crabs of this size in front of you, and you don't have the courage to catch them!"

Xia Nan said: "It seems that you dare to say it!"

Shi Xiangxiang snorted coldly: "You two big men don't dare, how dare I be a woman?"

She didn't dare as a woman, but the other woman obviously didn't dare.

Sufier reached out directly and grabbed a large blue crab.

Xia Nan was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly stopped: "Girl, be careful not to be clipped." ”

Sophie shook her head and said, "It's okay, don't catch the crab from the front to the back, but from the back to the front, avoid its sight, and the two pincers in front, then it won't be pincerated." If it really doesn't work, grab a handful of mud and put it on its eyes, as long as it can't see, it will be easier to grasp. ”

As she spoke, Sufier demonstrated herself, reached out and grabbed the two edges of the blue crab shell from behind, and grabbed a blue crab with one hand with great ease!

This blue crab is quite large, estimated to be seven or eight legs, and the blue shell is faintly yellow, especially the belly is almost orange-yellow.

Su Fei'er turned the blue crab in her hand over and over again, and after confirming that she was not mistaken, she finally said: "Rich, let's get rich!"

Shi Xiangxiang said disapprerovingly: "Just a few dozen catties of crabs, what kind of wealth can you make?"

Su Fei'er shook her head, pointed to the crab in her hand and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, do you know what this crab is called?"

Shi Xiangxiang said: "Isn't it a blue crab?"

Sofi shook her head again, "Although it is a blue crab, it is the nobleman of the blue crabs and the king of the blue crabs." ”

Shi Xiangxiang asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Sufir explained: "There are many kinds of blue crabs, including soft shell crabs, crab crabs, water crabs, meat crabs, dried cream crabs, masked crabs, heavy shell crabs, butter crabs, cream crabs, butter cream, and slow-claw crabs. ”

Shi Xiangxiang said: "You mean to divide the name according to its growth stage?"

Su Fei'er nodded and said, "Yes, each stage is different, the name is different, the taste is different, and the price is different." ”

Xia Nan saw that the two girls were chatting happily, and couldn't help but interject, "Then what is this blue crab called?"

Sofi said, "Butter crab!"

When Shi Xiangxiang heard this name, she immediately became excited, "Really?"

Su Fei'er nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This one, we can sell it for more than a thousand yuan." ”

"So expensive?" Xia Nan asked puzzledly: "Aren't the blue crabs sold in the market usually only a few dozen yuan a catty?"

Su Fei'er shook her head and said: "That's just ordinary water crabs or meat crabs, they can't be compared with this kind of butter crab, you must know that a thousand blue crabs, at most, only three or five can only be converted into butter crabs." ”

Xia Nan was still confused, "How did it transform?"

Sophie patiently explained to him: "The life of a crab is about three to four times to lose its shell, and the fattest time is called a heavy shell crab, that is, the new shell has been formed, and the old shell has not faded. ”

Shi Xiangxiang said: "If the shell has faded, it is called a soft shell crab, right?"

Su Feier said: "Yes, the soft shell crab is followed by the crab crab, that is, the shell of the soft shell crab hardens in about three days, but it has not yet reached the normal hardness, like the skull of a newborn baby, and the fingers are concave when you press lightly, at this time it is called a crab, and then it becomes a water crab." ”

Shi Xiangxiang said curiously: "Why is it called a water crab?"

Su Feier said: "The water crab is in a process of gradually growing up and slowly becoming thinner, which is equivalent to a child's bone pulling, a large amount of protein and calcium is absorbed to develop bones, so the meat is less and thin, and the body has a lot of water, it is called a water crab, and the price is relatively cheap, it continues to grow, and the meat is gradually plump and firm, and it becomes a meat crab." ”

Shi Xiangxiang deduced in turn: "After that meat crab, there is a dry paste crab?"

Sofi said: "That's right, after the meat crab is transformed into a dry paste crab, there is no water in the body, and a small amount of paste like a boiled water egg appears, which is the first appearance of crab paste since thinning and fattening. The dried cream crab is fierce and aggressive, fierce and agile, which is equivalent to a hot-blooded youth. We usually see a certain kind of blue crab with its pincers raised high when it is teased, and that is usually a dried cream crab!"

Shi Xiangxiang glanced at Xia Nan and said with a smile: "It's like someone." ”

Xia Nan ignored her, and just asked, "After the dried cream crab, it is a cover crab?"

Sufier said: "Yes, the crab is also known as the "girl crab", which is equivalent to a young girl who has completed development and has not yet married, and her body is full of oily cream, which is both fragrant and tender, and is one of the best varieties of blue crabs, which is very popular and the price is relatively good. If it is retransformed, it may become a butter crab, but the chances are not high. ”

Shi Xiangxiang said: "What do you say?"

Su Feier said: "Most of the masking crabs are transformed into cream crabs after shedding their shells and then growing fat, but a very small number of them cannot complete the shelling process due to excessive fat, excessive accumulation of oil, or due to other factors, which is equivalent to one less round of development, which cannot be transformed into cream crabs and directly become butter crabs." ”

When Xia Nan heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

The two women looked at him, wondering which of his nerves had been misaligned.

Xia Nan pointed at Shi Xiangxiang and said, "Xiangxiang is a butter crab now!"

Shi Xiangxiang suddenly roared angrily, "It was, once, I've lost weight now." ”

Sophie was also amused, and then taught them seriously, raised the butter crab in his hand and said: "You see, when the butter crab is facing the light, the whole body is red, and the inside is full of golden thin oil, the fragrance is better than the crab, it is a well-deserved king of blue crabs, if it is sold outside, it is about 1,500 yuan a catty, if it is a big restaurant, it is more than 2,000 yuan, known as "a spoonful of butter is worth a thousand gold"!"

Xia Nandao: "Then this one is only seven or eight taels, can it really be sold for more than 1,000 yuan?"

"Of course!" Sufi pulled a red packing rope out of his pocket, "after we catch the crab, we have to tie it up first to prevent them from fighting each other and knocking off the pincers to affect its appearance and price......!

Under her teaching, Xia Nan and other rookies finally learned how to distinguish crabs, catch crabs, and tie crabs. Then they worked together to tie up the larger crabs in the jar one by one.

It's just that there are too many crabs in the wine jar, and it took the four of them nearly an hour to finally get rid of it, and it's already big and small!

However, there are so many crabs in the entire wine jar, and only one is butter crab.

Xia Nan looked at it and finished making a wine jar for a long time, so he shook his head and said, "The speed is too slow, there are still seventy-nine wine jars behind!"

Sophie's eyes widened when she heard this, "My mother, so much?"

"If you're not careful, you'll get a little more!" Xia Nan replied with a smile, and then said to Ah Hu: "Ah Hu, you hurry back and ask your uncle to bring all the people in the company over to help, if you only rely on a few of us, I'm afraid you will have to do it until the Chinese New Year." ”

Ah Hu hurriedly agreed, so he went ashore and rode a tricycle to call someone.

Xia Nan was originally going to see the second wine jar, but when she looked at the two girls, especially Shi Xiangxiang, she found that she was already sweating profusely, and she covered her arms from time to time, remembering that she had only undergone surgery not long ago, although it was a minor operation, it was really not suitable for too much activity.

"Xiangxiang, you go ashore to rest, girl, you go up too!"

"What about you?" asked Sufier.

"I'll take a look at the next wine jar!"

"Xia Daguan, I don't think you should toss it!" Shi Xiangxiang finally spoke up, "These hard work, just leave it to Zhao Guangfa and them to do, otherwise why spend so much money every month to invite them?"

"It seems to make a little bit of sense!" Xia Nan didn't really want to catch crabs and tie crabs, because just now, he was accidentally caught again, but he just endured it and didn't call.

"Since it makes sense, let's all go ashore!"

Xia Nan, who wanted to be lazy, took the opportunity to say: "You are the big boss of the company, you can do whatever you say." ”

So the three of them went ashore and sat down on a stone by the side of the road to rest.

Shi Xiangxiang didn't seem to be tired of eating dog food, and the two of them were next to each other, but they were poured into their stomachs after a while.

Just when Shi Xiangxiang wanted to stay away from the dog man and woman, an Accord and two vans drove over!

The car stopped when it got close, and nearly twenty people got off the two vans, Shi Xiangxiang couldn't help laughing, "Zhao Guangfa has found a lot of people, so many people are working together, they should be able to deal with it before the tide rises." ”

Xia Nan's face was expressionless, "I think you're happy a little too early!"

"Huh?" Shi Xiangxiang looked at Xia Nan puzzled, seeing that his face was a little pale, he couldn't help but look at those people again, and then said with some confusion: "Strange, they came here, why are they still operating with water pipes and iron rods?

Xia Nan sighed and reminded: "You see clearly, who is the person in the car?"

Shi Xiangxiang looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his face was colorless, it was not the hammer that was driving, but the old clown he had seen in Jishi Village, and the one sitting in the passenger seat was not Zhao Guangfa, but Sanfat Lan Sanping.
