Chapter 494: Daughter of the Sea

Suspicion is suspicion, but after all, people grew up by the sea, and their experience of the sea is definitely higher than yours.

She must have a reason for doing this!

So Yu Le took a small bowl, scooped a bowl of water, and poured a mouthful of seawater into it according to a small hole in the ground.

Then he waited quietly - and then he didn't know what to do. He was very skeptical about the practicality of this method of choking on bamboo clams with seawater!

Like a rat that breathes air, do you want to blow air into a rat hole, want to get it drunk with oxygen, and then be forced to run out?

Several women, all gathered around, staring at the hole in the ground.

"Sister Huiyun, what about after being filled with seawater? Is this thing still afraid of water? But now there is no reaction at all!" Ke Xin also had the same idea as Yu Le, so he asked puzzledly.

But her voice just fell!

At the small hole, something as big as a little finger and as long as a little finger.

Sneer, and a head pops up!

"Oh yes!"

A strange thing came out of nowhere, which startled Yu Le and the women (excluding Wei Huiyun).

Wei Huiyun's eyes were quick, and with a clamp of two slender fingers, he pinched the thing out of the hole.

"Okay, look, isn't this caught?" Wei Huiyun looked at everyone and smiled.

Yu Le held this shell that looked like a small tube in the palm of his hand and carefully studied it.

"This is a razor clam?"

"Hey, don't say it, that shell really looks a bit like a piece of bamboo!"

After being surprised, Yu Le and the others concocted it according to the law, kept pouring seawater into the small hole, and then waited for the bamboo clams in the hole to come out and catch everyone.

One by one, it's so much fun!

This thing, snorting out of the hole, is too much fun!

All of a sudden, the whole beach was filled with the bright laughter of women.

After catching dozens of them, Yu Le finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked: "Huiyun, what is the principle of this? How can this kind of bamboo razor clams be poured out with seawater? It stands to reason that it also lives in the sea, this shouldn't be, why is it still afraid of choking on the sea?"

Wei Huiyun smiled: "Dare you think it's afraid of choking on the sea?"

Yu Le said: "Isn't it? Isn't it just choked by the sea?"

Wei Huiyun shook her head and smiled: "No." Pouring some seawater into it is to make it mistakenly think that the tide is already rising. Stick clams have fixed living burrows, which are hidden under these sandy bottoms. When the tide goes out, they hide at the bottom of the cave and refuse to come out. And when the tide rises again, it will emerge and hunt. We poured some seawater into it, and when it flooded it, it thought it was a tide. ”

Yu Le listened to this, and finally suddenly realized: "Oh! Dare to love is such a truth! It is really like a mountain across the line, we laymen, we can't imagine that we can use this method to death, let alone that there will be such a magical little animal hidden in these mud and sand holes." ”

Wei Huiyun said: "The razor clam hole is very deep, and if you dig it with a shovel, it will be very laborious and you can't draw it." And with sea water, or sea salt, it is much easier to get them in first and catch them directly. ”

"By the way, I see that these razor clams are very big and fat, and the amount is enough, why don't you come out and harvest them for a few more days in the future, and get more home, and use them to boil clam oil? This clam oil is very fragrant and delicious, and it can just supplement our cooking oil. And I'll get through. Wei Huiyun looked at Yu Le and asked for his opinion, the head of the family and the leader of the team.

Yu Le didn't even think about it, so he said, "Okay!

Cooking oil has not been in sufficient supply, and this is also clear.

Because there are no production conditions, vegetable oil cannot be eaten at all, and even if you can find oil seeds that can be squeezed on the road, it is in vain if you do not have the tools to press them.

So their food oil source has always been the fat of various animals. This one is easy to make, just cook it in a pot.

It's just that these hunted wild animals are generally not too fat, and the oil that can be taken is not too much, and after living on Hengsha Island, the island only rabbits can boil oil, so the edible oil is a little less supplied.

It just so happened that Wei Huiyun said that she would boil clam oil, and Yu Le was naturally happy to agree to her.

After picking razor clams, the next step is to dig up sea intestines.

The sea intestine has to be dug up with a sapper shovel.

It can't be poured out of seawater anymore.

However, Wei Huiyun is worthy of being the daughter of the sea, and she is extremely experienced.

At a glance, he knew which place under the sand was hiding sea intestines, and then commanded Yu Le and others to dig it.

She is in charge of searching, and Yu Le and others are in charge of digging!

It was when that long strip was pulled out of the sand.

The faces of Yu Le and the others became a little strange.

"This ...... Is this thing really edible? How can I look at it? ”

"Me too, I feel like it's a little disgusting, like a big hairless bug, I don't think it's going to be delicious!"

Wei Huiyun grinned: "Don't look at their poor quality, its taste, that's top-notch." It's guaranteed to taste better than any seafood you've ever tasted!"

Guo Biyan shook her head into a rattle: "The meat is so soft, like a mutated earthworm! Of course, it's more like a pig's intestine that has just been pulled out of the pig's belly! Anyway, I won't be the first to try it!"

Ke Xin leaned over to Yu Le's ear and said with a smile: "Brother Lele, how do I feel that this thing is also quite similar to that thing of yours!"

Yu Le's face darkened when he heard this, and he patted her on the head: "It's like a fart!

"Hee-hee!" Kexin covered her mouth and ran away with a smile.

I dug up half a bucket of sea intestines, and then at the urging of the women outside, I went back to eat.

I had a late lunch, and it was not early.

So he stopped going ashore, hung up the sails, and went home.

You can't play too late, and when you go back, you'll have to deal with all kinds of seafood you received today.

Kelp to be dried.

The shells are to be stored.

Bamboo clams and sea intestines should be soaked and cleaned.

The most important thing is that the ancestor of the shrimp, which weighs more than 40 pounds, will be on the table tonight for the big guys to admire!

On the way home, Li Zhi found Yu Le.

The two sat together in the bow of the boat, controlling the course.

"I've picked so many shells, it's enough to eat for a long time. Next, shouldn't we go into the mountains? Looking for food, collecting wind or something?" Li Zhi said holding on to his glasses.

Yu Le nodded: "Yes, I also mean that! Let's go back tonight and make arrangements, leaving some people at home and taking some people away." It's time to go into the mountains. ”
