"Eat the sea by the sea" is an old saying often said by coastal fishermen. In the fishing village, generations of people have been catching the sea, and even children as young as seven or eight years old know when is the best time to catch the sea.

On the beach, the tide is low, revealing several reefs, and the area of the beach and tidal flats appears larger. Compared with a few hours ago, there are also many old aunts, aunts and children scattered here catching the sea.

A few locals in the vicinity saw the couple running over with smiles on their faces. They point somewhere, point out where the couple is in danger, maybe the charm of a smile, maybe it's an occasional trip to the sea, and people don't care that someone shares their resources.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing pulled a homely conversation with these old ladies and ladies, and praised a few words to make those aunts happy, and then he pulled Zhou Jiao to say goodbye.

Everything in front of her is completely different from the relaxed freehand of carrying a small bucket and shovel, digging clams, fishing for crabs, and catching small fish as Zhou Jiao imagined.

At this moment, on the beach, on the beach, and on the reef, everyone has their own ability to catch the sea. The tools they use are all sorts of tools: iron catalpa, shovels, hooks, and even hoes. Young children even use bamboo tongs to quickly clamp shrimp crawlers, and use bamboo tips to dig out cockles and clams.

Perhaps accustomed to it, the fishermen who catch the sea, young and old, have no joy in their faces. Everything is valued by the rarity of things, and the more is worthless.

The beach is littered with kelp, seaweed, and sea cucumbers pushed up by the waves, but they are still abandoned by the locals.

Maximizing benefits even young children knows. At the moment, children who are a few years older are looking for valuable seafood on the reefs and tidal flats.

When they found Zhao Dashan's family, they were working hard around an excavated hole with iron hooks and shovels.

Zhang Guoqing and the others went over, but they couldn't attract the attention of their family of three at all. On this cold day, the hands of a family of three were red and they reached into the seawater in the pit to dig something, which was enough to have perseverance.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing quipped: "Have you found gold?" ”

"There's no gold, but there's a lot of stuff. How did you guys go for so long? Zhao Dashan was awakened and looked up and pointed to the bamboo basket full of things beside him.

Zhang Guoqing said with a smile: "I found a driver to take him and bought three boxes." As a result, he went to the financial office to settle the time, which was delayed a lot. We waited a little longer for him. After this pit, do you want to change the ground? ”

"I have asked Lao Wang to tell everyone that all those who are willing to sell will be sent to Lao Wang's house. Don't go too far, it's not safe, just play on the left and right. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded, seeing that Zhou Jiao and Zhao Yuanyuan had been talking for a paragraph, he pulled Zhou Jiao to the left about a hundred meters, there is a reef in this place, which can bear a little sea breeze.

The sea breeze blew on his face as if he had been cut by a knife, Zhang Guoqing tried his best to block the wind outlet and let Zhou Jiao behind him, and quickly dug a few pits with a shovel, and as soon as he saw something, he threw it into the bamboo basket. His goal is to stuff the basket, good or bad. was blown down by the wind again, and he was worried that Zhou Jiao's body would not be able to stand it.

Gradually, he found that something was wrong, and sure enough, his daughter-in-law was "smuggling", no wonder he was not satisfied.

"Treat his wife as a daughter" This is the secret told to him by a senior in his previous life. In order to get this sentence, he invited the other party to rub a Western meal and spent a scholarship for one academic year.

"Smuggling" is "smuggling", anyway, he has the strength, as long as his family is happy.

Zhang Guoqing changed his position and deliberately chose a leeward outlet at the edge of a tidal flat under the reef, and asked Zhou Jiao to stand there and guard the bamboo basket. I quickly started work with a shovel, picked it up and washed it in a wooden barrel, and threw it into a bamboo basket.

Zhou Jiao saw that he was working hard and couldn't use his own hands, he was really bored, looking at the rock covered with oysters behind her, she secretly climbed up the reef.

Soon Zhou Jiao found that this reef was close to the opposite reef, and there was a big puddle between the two. Many marine creatures that were pushed up by the waves were ruthlessly abandoned by the sea, from pike crabs the size of pot lids to sea cucumbers crawling all over the ground and reefs, as well as sea urchins, starfish, octopuses, and all kinds of small fish.

A lot of things are running around at the moment, and some of them have crawled out of the reef. Zhou Jiao didn't care about being criticized, and leaned over and beckoned Zhang Guoqing to come up.

There are a lot of oyster shells on the reef, and this thing is so sharp that you can lose a layer of skin if you are not careful.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing was so frightened that he threw things away, and quickly rushed up, "Jiaojiao, when did you run up?" I just saw you behind me. ”

"Brother, look! I'll give you the basket, I'll catch the escaped crabs, you hurry up, and it won't be ours when someone sees it. ”

"Don't, be careful of getting caught. You're guarding the basket here, and I'll be fine soon. Zhang Guoqing hurriedly hugged her. Seeing her nodding, she still looked at her uneasily, and her credibility had dropped rapidly.

Zhou Jiao pushed him, comparing himself to not moving, and hurriedly urged him to hurry up. If you hesitate any longer, all that's left is the sea.

There is no doubt that if you want to say who has the strongest and fastest hands-on ability, Zhou Jiao will definitely choose her as the first man.

As Zhou Jiao kept changing the bamboo basket, the sea creatures in the puddle were looted by them.

After the end, Zhang Guoqing stared at the sea earthworms in the oyster bushes on the reef. The nutrition of this thing is not inferior to that of sea cucumber, especially the medicinal effect is better.

He looked at Zhou Jiao and knew that she was afraid of touching these things, "Jiaojiao, I'll take you down first." I've got to catch some sea earthworms, this thing is beautiful. ”

Sure enough, as soon as he said beauty, Zhou Jiao nodded hurriedly.

After getting off the reef, Zhang Guoqing asked her to stay where she was and wait for him to come back. Seeing her nod, he carried the barrel and walked quickly

Move it.

Descending the reef again, Zhang Guoqing couldn't help but sigh, and then laughed.

I saw that next to the pit where he was halfway started, Zhou Jiao was squatting there, digging the pit with both hands with a shovel. Zhang Guoqing hurriedly pulled her up, let her run in place and keep her body active, and she hurried to continue working.

"Jiaojiao, why is Xiao Wu laughing so loudly? Got something new? Zhao Yuanyuan ran from afar and shouted loudly.

"He laughed at my lack of strength."

Zhang Guoqing watched her and Zhao Yuanyuan hugging and jumping together, tirelessly running back and forth between him and Zhao Dashan, he hurriedly stepped up his speed, dragging the bamboo basket with one hand and picking it up quickly with the other.

Finally stuffed with a bamboo basket, a wooden barrel, and a small back basket, Zhang Guoqing stood up, moved his hands and feet, and dragged things to Zhou Jiao.

He glanced at the kelp and groceries piled up in front of her, knowing that these were all things that people didn't want, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, let's go." Go back early to spend time with my son. ”

Hearing him talk about his son, Zhou Jiao was not interested. The two wives hurriedly put away a pile of things on the ground and walked towards Zhao Dashan and them.

Zhao Dashan dragged the bamboo basket and left with the wooden barrel. He couldn't call his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he could only drag things away, and see where they were loaded?

Zhao Dashan and the three of them were some distance away from Cheng Hongli's mother and daughter, and after waiting for a while, they saw Cheng Hongli's mother and daughter catching up.

As soon as he arrived at Wang's house, after discussing with Zhang Guoqing, Zhao Dashan asked Lao Wang to notify someone to send some dried shrimp, dried cuttlefish, and shell meat. These things give a decent and practical way.

After Lao Wang's daughter-in-law went out to inform the villagers, Zhao Dashan began to pick fifty catties of crabs first.

Zhang Guoqing stepped forward to report the number, which caused Zhao Dashan to cover his head with a headache, and said: "Lao Wang, you pick up the male crabs and small female crabs, and the rest will start to wrap up." ”

His words made everyone laugh. That's not a round-up amount.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao explained: "Uncle Dashan, a female crab weighs almost a catty, but in fact, there are not many of them. Moreover, there are five uncles in the provincial capital, four sisters and brothers above the junior five, plus some close relatives. It's rare for you to come in a truck, so prepare more first. ”

Zhao Dashan nodded in understanding after hearing this, "Then you can order more things that will catch the sea, that one is cheap." Giving away people is all good things, mixed in. ”

Zhou Jiao had a bright smile on her face, nodded and said, "Well, I listen to you." ”

Zhao Dashan asked Zhang Guoqing, "Do you plan to send it at night?" ”

"I'll send it home while I have a car."

"Passing by my house before going to the provincial capital, you can help me bring some things." After speaking, Zhao Dashan pondered what to send over, thinking about it or waiting to go back and see.
