New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks

The reason why Ao Muyang wants to catch the sea is because some people in the village say that oysters have appeared on the beach again.

Oysters are a kind of small sea fish, they are not big, at most four or five centimeters, small heads and thin bodies, like small trash fish in the river, but the meat is extremely tender, it is an excellent small seafood in the coastal sea.

When Ao Muyang was young, it was a very common thing to catch oysters in the sea, and the fish lived in the mud on the bottom of the sea, which was a bit similar to loaches.

Later, the problem of marine pollution intensified, the water quality deteriorated, and the oysters became very few, and this small fish has quite high requirements for water quality, and now it has reappeared in the beach mud, proving that the water quality in the Red Ocean has improved, and the water quality in the sea outside the village is better.

The fishing boat docked at the pier, Ao Muyang jumped directly onto the beach and asked, "Fourth aunt, how is the harvest?"

A dark-faced woman raised her head and said with a smile: "Ah, village chief, hehe, I'm quite lucky today, I'm busy with my melon seeds, and I caught a little." ”

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

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

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "You can help your mother with her work, oysters are rare these days, and they can be sold for one or two hundred yuan per catty." By the way, don't call me Uncle Xiaoyang, it's a seniority, just call me brother. ”

The young man who looked very similar to his mother also smiled innocently, and bent down to work in the mud.

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

Their world is very simple, whoever gives them face, who makes them dignified, then they worship whom.

The Longtou Village led by Ao Muyang is famous in the whole city, and the teenagers play at school or at their classmates' houses, and when people learn that he is a little related to Ao Muyang, they will immediately look up at them.

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

Oysters begin to appear in spring, but are few and more abundant in summer as temperatures rise.

However, their spawning period is a week before and after May Day, during which the oysters happen to have fish roe, which is not only delicious in flesh, but also soft in the bones, and has the best taste.

At that time, if the oysters were forcibly hunted, they could also be harvested, but now the fishermen are more conscious, especially when the village has begun to engage in tourism, and Ao Muyang has tried his best to instill the concept of sustainable development in them.

The villagers know that they can't just fish with all their might, and they rarely fish in the waters outside the village during the flood season, and even if there are fish in the offshore waters, they go to the open sea to give the resources in the offshore waters a breather.

For example, when swordfish came to the sea outside the village, the villagers did not go crazy fishing for them, but let tourists go fishing, and if someone dropped the net, the villagers would take the initiative to persuade them to put away the net.

Everyone knows that these swordfish don't stay in the sea outside the village for long, but the villagers still haven't killed them all, and they hope to keep the size of the swordfish school and come back next year.

Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi into the quagmire, and the tide was just low in the evening, revealing a large area of the seabed.

Last year, the village built a number of low tide dikes, which are now a great place to visit, and as the sea falls, the small dikes hold back some small crabs, small shrimp and small aquatic fish.

From time to time, people with children find something on the low tide embankment, and no matter what they catch, tourists will let out a cry of surprise.

As the sun sets, the village dogs wag their tails and run around on the beach, and the atmosphere of the fishermen is strong.

Ao Muyang stepped on the mudflats, and there were many small holes in the place where he landed, some were clam holes, some were crab holes, and some were oyster caves.

The most numerous of them are the caves of hermit crabs and fiddler crabs, where several tourists pick up small conch shells and find small crabs with ghostly heads popping up inside.

Fiddler crabs can't be eaten, and they can't be fed, and now tourists have a high level of education and high quality, and they catch fiddler crabs after taking pictures 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, shrimp and crabs in their hands are actually not pure wild, but Ao Muyang from time to time to find someone to buy seedlings and release them......

Ao Muyang took Lu Zhizi to find the oysters, he said: "We have to dig a hole, the oyster burrow is easy to find, their direction is oblique upwards, and the clam burrow goes straight up and down, you can see the difference if you compare it carefully." ”

Lu Zhizi shook his head: "It's so difficult, these caves are much more similar than Latin and English." ”

Ao Muyang used to catch oysters when he was a child and a teenager, which was very simple for him, but instead of catching oysters directly, he found a small piece of shrimp nest.

The nest of the Phi Phi Shrimp is the three holes of the cunning rabbit, he found a hole and stepped on it with his foot, the air pressure of the hole changed, and there was a small hole next to it to the water coming out, and then there was a Pi Phi Shrimp probe.

Lu Zhizi reached out to take it in surprise, but the Pipi shrimp was very aggressive, and with a flick of his head, Lu Zhizi gasped and hurriedly put his fingers into his mouth.

Ao Muyang pinched the shrimp head and put it into the bucket with two fingers, and he smiled: "You can be careful, or you help me carry the bucket, I'll catch it, let's work together as husband and wife, and have a profit!"

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

In the 90s, fishermen had no toys, and the small fish and shrimp on the beach were the best toys, and when it was time to catch the sea, they would go barefoot and take their dogs on the beach to find catch.

Digging over a rock to pick up a crab, sprinkling salt in a hole to catch a razor clam, treading water to find a skin shrimp, their childhood was hidden in these little things.

After catching more than 20 pipi shrimp in a row, someone noticed the harvest on his side and rushed over to join in the fun.

Ao Muyang good-natured taught the tourists how to catch pipi shrimp, and then he called it a day and left to find oysters.

Oyster burrows are sloping upwards and resemble the Phi Phi Shrimp burrows, but are much smaller due to their slender bodies.

By stepping on the hole with your foot out, the oysters will be frightened and will run out, and when the time comes, they will reach out and pick them up when they fall on the mudflat.

Oysters are interesting in that they are able to jump around like grasshoppers after leaving their burrows, which has to do with their anatomy, and their tails are so powerful that they can bounce up after lying on a mud pool.

Because the June Oysters have already produced all their seeds, there is no need to worry about killing them all, they have completed their mission of passing on their ancestry, and the fish will have more offspring to expand.

From evening to sunset, it took about an hour or so for Ao Muyang's small bucket to be full.

Oysters have very poor vitality and will die soon after leaving the cave, so they have to be dealt with, and when they go back, they must be steamed or cooked in salt water as soon as possible, and then dried to use cold dishes, or they can be braised or fried for secondary treatment.
