103. Seafood supermarket

The closer you get to the sea, the lower and sparse the plants become, which is the pattern of plant growth on the island.

Therefore, when they walked out of the woods, Chen Zhe and Yan'er were already close to the beach.

The dense and tall trees disappeared in front of them, only some coconut trees stood in twos and threes, and the two of them looked up and could already see the golden sand and the blue sea.

"Yay, we're here!"

Yan'er shouted happily.

In the past few days, I have been holding back in the camp, going out for a walk, and seeing the scenery of the island, which makes the little girl feel very happy.

Chen Zhe glanced up at the setting sun in the westβ€”it would be dark in an hour, and they had just the right time.

"Very good, successfully completed the task. ”

Chen Zhe nodded with satisfaction, and the next thing to do was to pick out a place to camp at night, and then raise the bonfire.

Unexpectedly, before he could start moving, he suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound.

"Huh?"

Chen Zhe followed the voice and looked back, but saw Yan'er standing in place with a big red face.

The sound of "grunting" came from the girl's belly.

Chen Zhe asked knowingly, and said with a wicked smile: "What was the voice just now? Who is speaking?"

"This ......," Yan'er said with a shy face, "I heard it too, it came from the direction of the woods, it seems to be ...... It looks like some wild beast is roaring in the woods! yes, it must be!"

Chen Zhe couldn't help laughing: "What kind of beast in the woods is roaring...... I think your stomach is growling, right?"

"Hate, hate ......" Yan'er glanced at Chen Zhe and said speechlessly, "Brother Xiao Chen, you are really bad, you know that my stomach is screaming, and you still want to ask me what kind of voice I ......"

Chen Zhe smiled and pinched Yan'er's nose, and asked dotingly, "Silly girl, are you hungry?"

"Hmm......" Yan'er nodded, and said with a bitter face, "After walking for an afternoon, I consumed too much physical strength, and my stomach was easy to get hungry......"

Before the words fell, Yan'er suddenly realized a problem.

"Oops! Brother Xiao Chen, we came out in such a hurry that we forgot to bring food...... There's so much wolf meat in the camp, I should grill a few skewers of wolf meat with food, what can I do?"

Chen Zhe's expression was calm, all of this was under his consideration.

He shook his head and said, "Yan'er, time is pressing, we don't have time to deal with the wolf meat. When you're skewering and grilling the wolf skewers, the sun is going down, so how can we hurry?"

When Yan'er heard this, she nodded lightly and said, "Hmm...... You're right. But Brother Xiao Chen, what are we going to eat at night?"

Chen Zhe pointed to the beach and said with a smile: "It's simple, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea." Let's go, Yan'er, I'll take you to the seafood supermarket. ”

"Sea and seafood supermarket?"

Yan'er's expression was full of confusion, she stood on tiptoe and looked at the beach, and wondered,

"What's the big supermarket?"

Chen Zhe didn't explain more, but took Yan'er's hand and walked briskly to the beach.

Walking to the beach, Yan'er found that the ground was wet, there was standing water in many sand pits, and some marine life was scattered on the beach.

Within two steps, Yan'er spotted a starfish and some strange shellfish, and a turtle a little farther away.

Chen Zhe has been keeping his head down since he came to the beach, as if he was looking for some treasure, and while Yan'er was observing the turtles, he had already bent down to pick up an interesting guy from the beach.

It was a crab, about the size of a palm, and it was running sideways on the beach, and was grabbed by Chen Zhe, who was quick with his eyes.

Don't look at the crabs in the supermarket that are usually half-dead and slow, but the crabs on the beach are all sprinters, and they are as happy as rabbits in the grass, and they really can't catch them if they react slowly.

Yan'er heard Chen Zhe's movement, turned around curiously, and saw that Chen Zhe had caught a crab, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Wow! Brother Chen, it's a crab!"

"Yes. Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, "There are crabs to eat in the evening." ”

With that, Chen Zhe threw the crab into the barrel and continued to search for prey along the beach.

Soon he found another ingredient – a squid in a puddle.

The plump mollusk struggled desperately in the puddle, its long, soft tentacles twitching desperately, and it seemed that it wanted to return to the ocean, but it was trapped in the small puddle and could not break free.

Chen Zhe smiled and said to it: "Poor guy, since we are destined to meet, you can make me dinner, and when the time comes, we will be one, and we will be worthy of this special fate......

As he spoke, Chen Zhe scooped up the squid and threw it into the wooden barrel, and there was one more dish for the seafood dinner in the evening.

And at this time, Yan'er also found something good, which was a few shrimp in another puddle.

"Brother Xiao Chen, there are shrimp here!

Chen Zhe hurriedly followed the sound, and saw that there were a few small shrimp fluttering in the puddle.

These shrimp have an earthy yellow body, many black spots on the body surface, and many short hairs on the abdomen, which are about longer than the palms of the hands.

Yan'er asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Chen, what kind of shrimp are these?"

Chen Zhe grabbed one casually and looked at it carefully.

The system will give you a prompt:

[Item detected: A live Jiwei shrimp.] 】

"Oh, it's Jiwei shrimp. Chen Zhe is now learning and selling, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this sea area to be rich in this delicious shrimp." ”

"It's actually Jiwei shrimp!" Yan'er was overjoyed and said with some excitement, "I haven't eaten Jiwei shrimp yet." ”

Chen Zhe rubbed Yan'er's hair flying with the sea breeze, and said with a smile: "Let you eat enough tonight, not only Jiwei shrimp, but also crabs, squid, scallops and sea cucumbers...... Eat whatever you want. ”

Yan'er nodded happily, then looked at the beach and asked suspiciously: "Brother Xiao Chen, is it so easy to pick up seafood on the beach......?"

Chen Zhe shook his head: "Of course not." ”

He then explained: "It's because we came at the right time, just in time for the low tide. ”

"Ebb tide?" Yan'er repeated with her head tilted.

"Yes, low tide, also called low tide. Chen Zhe said, "Because of the tides, the sea water will rise and fall every day, and when the sea rises, it will not pass these beaches, and bring the creatures in the sea water together, but after the sea water recedes, some unlucky creatures are trapped on the beach and become food for us to pick up." ”

Hearing this, Yan'er understood.

She nodded her little head lightly and said, "That's why you said this is a seafood supermarket, right?"

Chen Zhe smiled: "Yes, these seafood are all placed on the beach for us to choose, isn't it a supermarket?"

Yan'er thought about it, Chen Zhe's statement is indeed very appropriate, and at the same time, she also sincerely admires Chen Zhe, who actually knows how to use the low tide to find food.

"Brother Xiao Chen, did you calculate that the tide would ebb at this time, so you didn't bring food here, waiting to come to the beach to pick up seafood to eat?"

Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, there is a lot of food on the beach, why do we bother to bring food?"

Yan'er smacked her tongue in admiration, and said in her heart: Brother Xiao Chen is really clever......
