People who live in the seaside know the term "catching the sea", which means that human beings take advantage of the law of the ebb and flow of the tide to catch or collect seafood on the tidal flats and reefs on the coast at the time of the ebb and flow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Catching the sea can often get a lot of unexpected harvests, especially when the tide has just receded, the effect of catching the sea is the best, and you can often harvest satisfying seafood.

Li An has always lived in Chang'an, rarely comes to the beach, and has never rushed to the sea. But for the things needed to catch the sea, they have already been prepared, after all, many of the soldiers under his command live by the sea, they know how to catch the sea, and prepare all the equipment needed for Li An to catch the sea.

Ang Lee and Yun'er were both empty-handed, with six guards behind them, each holding a bamboo basket in their hands, and followed behind.

"Ah Lang, look, there are a lot of little crabs! It's so cute! ”

Yuna walked to the beach and said excitedly.

"The crabs are delicious, grab them and put them in a bamboo basket behind you."

Li An said softly.

When Yun'er heard this, she hurriedly reached out to catch the little crab, but the little crab was not easy to mess with, and when she saw Yun'er reaching out to grab it, she hurriedly erected the two big pincers and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

"Ah Lang, this little guy has pliers, will he break his hands!"

Yun'er was shocked by the momentum of the little crab and quickly retracted her hand.

"It's okay, such a small crab doesn't have much strength, you try it."

Li An said with a smile, and took matters into his own hands and pinched a naughty little crab.

With Ang Lee's skills, it is absolutely impossible to be pinched by the crab, so he easily pinched the crab's back, making the crab angry and helpless.

Seeing that Li An easily took down a small crab, Yun'er felt that she could definitely do it, so she squatted down gently and reached out to catch the little crab.

However, Yun'er's reaction was too slow, and she was accidentally bitten by the little crab's big pincers, although the little crab's pincers were not strong, but they were also painful enough.

"Woooooooooo......oo Ah Lang is deceiving, it hurts. ”

Yuna said aggrievedly.

Li An smiled: "It's you who is stupid, who is to blame?" Squat down, Ah Lang will teach you. ”

Yun'er and the beautiful woman squatted down obediently, looking at the little crab in Ang Lee's hand, not knowing what Ang Lee was going to do.

Li An smiled faintly, put the little crab in his hand still on the ground, then looked at the two of them, and whispered: "Look carefully, see how Ah Lang catches the crab." ”

After speaking, he stretched his finger to the front of the crab, and when the crab stretched the big tongs forward, Li An quickly stretched out his other hand, grabbed the crab's back steadily, and gently picked up the crab, the action was done in one go, but the little crab was helpless.

"Ah Lang is so clever that he actually deceived the little crab with one finger, and we learned."

The beauty said happily, and Yun'er also laughed, feeling that she was too stupid, but she didn't expect this.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, these two maids usually serve Li An, and they don't know much about stratagems, so of course they don't know the magic of striking the west.

According to the strategy mentioned by Ang Lee, Yun'er and the beautiful woman both caught the little crab, and they caught a lot of them in a row, and threw them all into the small bamboo basket behind.

In addition to crabs, there are many shellfish and fish between the coral and the reef, and there are so many kinds of fish and shellfish that Ang Lee can't even name them.

According to different classifications, crabs are packed in one bamboo basket, fish occupy three bamboo baskets, and shellfish occupy two bamboo baskets.

In just half an hour, Ang Lee and the three of them picked up enough seafood and returned with joy.

After all, there is a time limit for retreating, and if the tide rises again, it is life-threatening not to withdraw in time.

On the beach at a higher position, Li Ang took everyone to stop and rest, and the beauty and Yun'er, who were tired for half an hour, sat directly on the beach.

"Put the basket down, and you all stand down."

Li An looked at the six guards and told them to stand back for the time being.

The bodyguards don't need to be too close, as long as they are nearby, besides, there is no danger on this island for a long time, and there is no need to be like a big enemy.

"Yun'er, beauty, you're all tired!"

Looking at the two people sitting on the beach regardless of their image, Ang Lee asked with a smile.

"Ah Lang, we picked up a whole six bamboo baskets, can we not get tired? I'm dying of exhaustion. ”

Yuna said aggrievedly.

"Ah Lang, we work so hard, you have to reward us at night!"

The beautiful woman laughed.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and a very dirty thought came out of his heart.

"You two little girls, don't worry, tonight, Ah Lang will spoil you."

Ang Lee smiled evilly and secretly sent a round of autumn waves to the two.

"Ah Lang is good or bad, people say it's food, I caught so much seafood today, Ah Lang will definitely not be able to eat it alone, we have to share some too."

The beautiful woman explained shyly.

"What's so difficult about this, you just eat with me, but Ah Lang is in a good mood today, and your servant is inevitable, so you are not allowed to refuse."

Ang Lee's domineering statement.

"Yes, Ah Lang, it is our blessing to be able to serve Ah Lang."

Yuna and the beauty glanced at each other and smiled.

Ang Lee picked up a bamboo basket full of shellfish and poured out all the shells inside.

"Ah Lang, what are you doing! Why did they all pour out? ”

"Just admiring it and seeing what treasures you've picked up."

Ang Lee replied with a smile.

There are hundreds or thousands of shells in this bamboo basket, and there are no less than dozens of varieties, and there are all kinds of strange-shaped shellfish, some of which are called by Li An, and some are not named at all.

"Alang, they're going to run away, they're already moving."

Yuna saw a lot of shellfish starting to flee and reminded her.

"It's okay, the shellfish run very slowly, they can't escape from the palms of our hands, Ah Lang does this to make sure that the shellfish you pick up are not alive, if the dead shellfish are not edible, they will be poisoned."

Ang Lee picked up an oyster that was trying to escape, threw it into the basket, and then continued to pick it up, continuing to return to the basket.

"Ah Lang, what kind of shellfish is this, it's so big, it looks so scary."

Yuna saw a big guy and was a little afraid to reach out.

Li An raised his eyes and saw that it was a good guy, it was actually a rather large geoduck, which was an excellent variety of shellfish.

It is said that geoduck is extremely nutritious, rich in all kinds of nutrients needed by the human body, is a good delicacy, of course, the most famous thing about geoduck is not his nutrients, but his appearance is too domineering.

The shape of the geoduck is very similar to a man's big guy, and it is said that when it is the largest, the big guy can stretch more than a meter, which is strange and scary, but it is generally not so long, and it is not even half a meter long after shrinking.

In ancient times, people's thinking power is what to eat and what to supplement, walnuts are like human brains, therefore, people with bad brains like to eat walnuts, and geoduck is like a man's big guy, so eating geoduck must be a big supplement, whether there is a scientific reason or not, there will be ancients believed.

However, in Ang Lee's impression, geoduck shellfish are only produced in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and there is no such thing as geoduck anywhere else, so why did he find this guy on a small island south of Yazhou? Could it be that there is something in itself, but it is only extinct because of climate change? Or maybe it's because of the big supplement, it's eaten up.

If it is eaten up, it will definitely be recorded in the ancient books, and there is obviously no record of this in later generations, so there is only one other situation left, that is, this kind of guy was originally very rare, and it became extinct because of the unsuitable climate.

Of course, there is a greater possibility that someone captured this animal from the Pacific Northwest or near Alaska, and then transported it here by merchant ships, only to be robbed by pirates, this guy has a big life, and actually survived here, but because the number is too small, so ordinary people can't find it, let alone take it to heart, maybe in a few years, these surviving guys will be extinct here.

And Ang Lee is very lucky to be able to find this kind of happy big guy here.

"Ah Lang, I picked this up, but when I picked it up just now, it wasn't that big at all, why did it suddenly become so big."

The beautiful woman looked at the wriggling geoduck suspiciously. There's something weird in my heart.

Li An looked at the two of them slyly, and said softly: "Take a closer look, what does this guy look like?" ”

"Like what?"

Beauty and Yuna frowned and looked over.

At first, they frowned, but when they saw that this guy was older and smaller, they immediately blushed.

Obviously, they had already thought of something, but they were too shy to say it.

"Do you know the answer, say it quickly."

Li An asked eagerly.

"Ah Lang is good or bad, how can this be said."

"Aaron ......"

The second daughter suddenly became shy.

"What is there to say, you are so strange."

Li An pretended to be innocent and said, "Tell you!" This guy is called geoduck, because the guy that sticks out of it looks like an elephant's trunk, so it's called that, don't you think so? ”

After speaking, he looked at Yuna and the beauty with the eyes of judgment.

Yun'er and the beauty were stunned for a moment, and secretly told Ang Lee to be shameless.

"Ah Lang, the trunk of an elephant can't be bigger or smaller, but this shellfish can."

What the beauty values is not the appearance, but the function of the guy, after all, this guy can change in size several times, but the elephant's trunk cannot.

Li An nodded, looked at the beauty, and asked, "Then what do you think this guy looks like, and what other guy can be bigger and smaller like this shellfish." ”

The beautiful woman leaned into Ang Lee's ear and whispered, "Ah Lang...... Isn't that okay? ”

"Giggles, the beauty is not ashamed, but Ah Lang's is not so big."

Yun'er heard the whisper and said mockingly.

Li An looked at Yun'er unhappily and said softly: "Who said, how can this little geoduck be compared to Ah Lang's?" I'll give you a good look tonight. ”

"Giggle......

The second daughter laughed shyly.

Since ancient times, the word to describe the delicacy is mountain delicacies, mountain delicacies refer to the eight treasures of the mountains, including bear paws, deer antlers, rhino noses, humps, civets, leopard fetus, lion milk, and monkey brains.

The seafood refers to the eight treasures of the sea, which are shark fin, abalone, fish lip, skirt, scallop, fish crispy, and husky membrane.

The delicacies of the mountains and seas represent the most delicious food in the world, the area of the island is not large, and there are almost no delicacies, so there is only seafood, and among these shellfish picked up by Ang Lee, there are really eight treasures of the sea.

"Look, what is this?"

Ang Lee picked up an abalone and played with it in the palm of his hand.

"Ah Lang, what's this called!"

Yuna asked.

"Well, this is called abalone, it is a very delicious tonic, and it is very good for the body to eat, especially you women, who eat more water and are in good health."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to introduce.

"Abalone, this is obviously a shellfish, how can it be called a fish?"

Yuna said.

"It's just that it doesn't look like a fish at all, and besides, it's really shameless, it's actually ......."

The beauty looked quite shy.

Li An smiled evilly and said softly: "Ah Lang thinks this abalone is very good-looking, much more beautiful than the two of you." You see, there is still a stir? Oh, that's a lot of water! ”

After the finger is inserted, the abalone is estimated to be not far from death, but when it is dying, it can also secrete more mucus, which makes people's fingers very smooth.

"Ah Lang is so bad, how can this disgusting thing look good with us, hum."

Yoona and Beauty-in-ja are a little angry.

Li An smiled: "Okay, good, just you are beautiful, you two are the most beautiful, okay, at night, let Ah Lang appreciate it." ”

All the shellfish that escaped were thrown back into the bamboo basket, and those who remained motionless were all still on the beach, because these guys were dead shellfish, poisonous, and should never be eaten.

After sorting out the shellfish, Ang Lee and his entourage returned to their residence and asked the cook to immediately make a delicious meal of the caught seafood.

Beauty and Yuna are busy separately, and Ang Lee has to deal with some affairs.

"How's things going around the kingdom?"

Li An opened his mouth to ask his subordinates.

"Li Shilang, news has just come back from the direction of Zhancheng that the king of the Huan Kingdom has rejected our reasonable request and continues to levy 100% heavy taxes on my merchants in the Tang Dynasty."

Subordinates report truthfully.

Li An was very unhappy when he heard this, and said angrily: "The ring kingdom is so faceless, what a big dog's guts." ”

"Li Shilang, the official sent to negotiate, only has two steam cannon ships and more than 500 soldiers under his hands, so he doesn't dare to rashly use force, so I still have to ask Li Shilang for instructions."

The subordinate spoke.

"How far is Champa from this island?"

Ang Lee asked.

"Li Shilang, it's only a few hundred miles, my Tang warship departs from here, and it can come from morning and evening."

The subordinate answered truthfully.

Li An thought for a moment and said, "Our cultivation time is almost up, tell the soldiers that they will set off at dawn tomorrow and arrive at Champa in the evening." ”
