After Brother Lin escaped, the earthquake shed suddenly became dull.

Especially Bai Zong, who wilts his head every day, no longer likes to talk and laugh so much.

This was also the case in the previous life, and it took more than a month for Bai Zong to gradually recover.

But in this life, Bai Ke hopes that his brother can cheer up faster.

Another afternoon, Bai Ke got out of school early, and Zhuoma also came over to play together.

After playing around the earthquake shed for a while, Bai Zong and Bai Bin also returned.

Dolma suddenly remembered something: "Are you going to go to the sea on Sunday?"

Bai Zong and Bai Bin lived on the island when they were children, so they know what it is like to catch the sea.

When they were on the island, once Bai Zong and his father Bai Ce went to catch the sea, and they also picked up a sea cucumber with the thickness of their arms.

Therefore, they all yearn for the matter of catching the sea.

"Yes, yes. ”

After Zhuoma left, Bai Zong and Bai Bin remembered.

"But we don't have the tools?"

In fact, the tools for catching the sea are quite simple.

A rake and a packing belt woven basket are sufficient.

Of course, three people get three rakes.

Rake is actually quite easy to do.

Use a 30-centimeter-long stick the thickness of a rolling pin as the handle, and a few large wires as the teeth of the rake.

Generally, there are two or three teeth, and the distance between the teeth should not exceed the distance between the two fingers.

But for the three children, where to find the large wire.

Bai Ke has a way, and he gives this task to Biaozi.

Not only the large wire, but also the thinnest wire to wrap, as well as nails, and a few bicycle spokes.

In less than half a day, Biaozi got all these things.

Biaozi also has the advantage of Biaozi, the children are afraid of him, and the adults don't like to provoke him.

Biaozi has a straight brain, and when he sees what he wants, he goes directly to get it.

The adults didn't bother to provoke him when they saw him menacing, so they let him go.

Bai Zong has strong hands-on ability, and after the materials are ready, he picks up pliers, hammers, saws and other tools and gets busy.

Bai Ke and Bai Bin fought on the side.

It didn't take long to make three rakes.

Then the processing of the bicycle spokes begins.

Rakes are mainly used to rake clams.

If you want to get more delicious seafood, you have to have another sharp weapon - razor clam hooks.

This clam hook is made of bicycle spokes, and one hook is bent to the size of a little finger.

In addition to tools, there is another must-have item, and that is the basket.

This basket is woven with packing tape.

Very practical in a small coastal town.

Because it is light, permeable, and not afraid of seawater corrosion.

The next day was Sunday.

My brother got up at four o'clock in the morning.

Bai Zong rode a weighted bicycle, carrying Bai Ke in front and Bai Bin in the back.

Let's come to Dolma's house.

After arriving at Dolma's house, Dolma's father, Uncle Fat, also rode a weighted bicycle.

In order to reduce Bai Zong's burden, the fat uncle asked Zhuoma to sit in the front of the car and Bai Ke to sit in the back of the car.

In this way, five people and two cars set off for the West Sea together.

Along the way, there were other city dwellers catching the sea.

The town is small, and from time to time you can meet familiar people, and you have to keep saying hello.

When we reached the beach, the sky was overcast.

The tide was in the position of Bai Ke's legs, and it didn't seem to be moving much, but it was actually retreating downward.

When the tide will rise and when it will recede, the official will not make an announcement.

It all depends on the word of mouth of the people, and even if there is an error, it will not be too bad.

The dense crowd on the shore has stepped into the water.

Uncle Fat also led everyone to the sea, and walked to the depths of the sea with the huge flow of people.

Walking in the sea, talking and laughing all the way, greeting familiar people from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright.

Only then did the white customers realize that they had walked two or three kilometers away, and behind them was a large beach with a completely low tide.

Catching up with the sea is like this, chasing the retreating tide first, and emerging from the beach behind you as you walk.

When the tide is about to recede completely, go to the shore and catch the sea as you go.

If you are too greedy and chase the tide to the end, there is still a certain danger.

Because when the tide goes out, it starts to rise.

If there is a strong wind and waves, the raging tide can engulf people in an instant.

Therefore, the sea is all with the big waves, try not to be alone.

Everyone spread out and got busy on the beach.

Catching the sea is mainly raking clams.

Those who know how to look at the holes of clams will see the right rake.

In two lives, Bai Ke still can't understand the holes of clams.

Anyway, when I saw a small hole in the beach, I held a rake and raked it together.

Even so, there is always a reward.

Because, just like one or two Chinese medicinal materials can always be found on a square meter of grass.

On the beach within a square meter range, you can always find several clams by picking and pulling around.

People in this period are not greedy.

Everyone only takes clams that are bigger than balls.

Unlike more than ten years later, people not only caught clams, but also their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Fingernails-sized clams were also taken home.

After the 90s, there was nothing left on the beach.

Even many post-80s and post-90s generations think that catching the sea is when the people who run the sea farm throw the sea objects into the sea and let you catch them back.

That's not called chasing the sea, that's called training dogs.

The white guest raked the clam while keeping an eye out for the small puddles left behind by the low tide.

There are often small fish in the puddle, and when they are big enough, the white customers use baskets to intercept and catch them.

Like rake clams, people only catch fish with chopsticks, and let go of small ones.

At the same time, the white customer also pays attention to the aquatic plants in the puddle.

Because occasionally there will be seahorses hiding under aquatic weeds.

The seahorse is sold to a Chinese medicine shop, and one can be exchanged for two cents.

You can buy four cream popsicles.

Bai Ke searched so carefully, and he really caught two seahorses.

Picking clams is usually done by women or children.

The older men or the half-grown kids, they're more interested in clam fishing.

But clams fishing is much more technical than raking clams.

Just finding holes is very knowledgeable.

The holes in the razor clams are small, only the size of a match head, and they are two in the shape of a duck gourd.

When you find it, squeeze it with your foot, then quickly stick the clam hook into it, and then lift it up quickly.

If you don't tie it right or have it slowly, the razor clams will run away quickly.

Bai Ke saw that his brother Bai Zong had a few handfuls one after another, and his hands were also a little itchy.

But after several punctures, they all failed, and I didn't feel anything in my hands at all.

Gradually, he became proficient, but he was not fast enough, or the hook was not accurate enough, and he still ran away.

The most outrageous one, Bai Ke had already hooked it out of the hole and leaned out half of its body, but still let it break free and run away.

After working for half a day, Bai Ke only caught two or three razor clams, which was worse than catching seahorses.

But the white customer doesn't care.

It's easy to be reborn, and he has to enjoy the clean, fertile beaches.

There are also a lot of low-hanging fruit on the beach, and no one wants to pick them up.

For example, kelp, seaweed, small conch, small crab, and so on.

The most common are sea rats that are thrown everywhere.

It's disgusting, with whirring flesh and a tail, and it really looks like a mouse.

It is estimated that people in Minguang are willing to eat it.

There is another thing, although it is not liked by people at the moment.

But a few years later, it became a rare delicacy on the dinner table.

That's the sea intestines.

Right now, the beach is full of sea intestines, and no one catches them at all.
