Chapter 4 Catch the Sea on the Beach

After recuperating at home for more than half a month, Li Xiaofeng felt that he was going to be wasted.

He is not allowed to do any work at home, and every day is to eat, sleep, play with his mobile phone, and play with the computer.

On this day, under his soft grinding and hard bubbles, coupled with looking at his legs, it really did not affect normal walking, Liu Xuexia reluctantly agreed to take him to catch the sea.

After eating in the morning, bring the usual sea tools, buckets, nail rakes, iron tongs, gloves, and ride on the battery car.

Let's go, catch the sea!

After riding for more than ten minutes, the mother and son came to a beach.

This is a sandy beach, and it is also a treasure land that the villagers come to most often.

Clams, razor clams, cat's eye snails, stone crabs, octopus and other seafood can often be found on the beach.

Occasionally, with a bit of luck, you can find some stranded valuables.

Liu Xuexia usually catches the sea in this area.

Park the battery car on the side of the road, Li Xiaofeng and Liu Xuexia entered the beach with tools.

"Yo, Xiaofeng, how can you let your college students come out and do this job!" Seeing Liu Xuexia coming over with her son to catch the sea, an aunt with the same surname in the village said loudly.

Li Xiaofeng knew that she said this on purpose.

If you are an outsider, you may take this sentence as a joke if you don't know what kind of person is behind your aunt.

"It's not that Xiaofeng is bored at home, he has to come out to play!" Liu Xuexia replied with a smile.

After a few more perfunctory words, Li Xiaofeng and Liu Xuexia continued to walk forward, preparing to find a place with few people and start catching up with the sea.

Looking at a group of women gathered behind them talking and muttering, listening to the faint voice, Li Xiaofeng knew that there must be nothing good behind them.

The amulet was opened, and sure enough, the entire beach appeared in the form of a map in my mind.

There are a lot of red dots on the map, and when you zoom in, you can see the location of the sea goods on the beach.

Hehe, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart!

Others need to turn over the rocks and pick up the sand to find them, but they may not be able to find them.

And you just need to follow the map.

Now it's time for me to show off my skills!

Facing the map, one rake goes down to a clam, and another rake is a cat's eye snail......

With his hands, he pinched the cat's eye snail that had just been dug out of the sand, and the snail meat that had not had time to retract, and squeezed it hard, and many streams of water flew out, which was really decompressing.

Watching her son keep digging out of the sand one by one, Liu Xuexia was also a little surprised, this speed was faster than that of her, an old seafarer.

As the tide recedes, so do the number of people catching the sea on the beach.

This stretch of beach is also a popular part of their area to catch up with Haiti, not only people from the village will come, but also some people from the town and even tourists.

"Mom, there are too many people here, let's change places!" Li Xiaofeng said to Liu Xuexia.

Although Liu Xuexia felt that she could still dig something on the beach, there were indeed a lot of people today, so she agreed.

Today is the weekend, and this is another beach with the best sand quality near the town, so many parents in the town bring their children to catch the sea and play.

The two of them began to move towards the adjacent reef area, which was littered with gravel and small puddles.

Clams and the like are not very easy to dig, and the road is not easy to walk, so there are relatively few people.

Li Xiaofeng opened the map of the reef area and enlarged it.

It looks like there are disorganized stones everywhere on the surface, but there are a lot of good things under the stones.

Li Xiaofeng went down with a pair of tongs and took out an octopus hidden under the stones of a small puddle, and Liu Xuexia next to him also clamped a skin shrimp with tongs.

After taking a few steps forward, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed Liu Xuexia, who was still going forward, pointed to a stone and said, "Mom, I just saw a big blue crab hidden under that stone!" ”

Liu Xuexia looked at the stone, didn't see where there were crabs, and asked suspiciously: "Feng cub, you are not mistaken, right?" ”

"Mom! Surely I read that right, I just saw a large cyan pincer, which has now shrunk under the stone. Li Xiaofeng explained softly, "Looking at the size of the tongs, it is estimated that the crab must have a pound up!" ”

"Okay, I'll turn the stone over!" Since her son was sure that there were crabs underneath, Liu Xuexia also chose to believe it and said, "Your legs are just right, you can't do heavy work, so don't do it!" ”

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he could only stand by helplessly, watching Liu Xuexia look over the big stone.

Sure enough, after the stone was turned over, a big blue crab of about one and a half pounds, with teeth and claws, was exposed.

The crab was just about to escape, Liu Xuexia quickly stretched out a foot to step on its back, took out a piece of rubber band, and skillfully tied it up.

When crab fishermen are caught, they usually tie them up.

Otherwise, when the crabs are put together, they like to fight, and once the pincers and the like are broken, it will greatly affect their value.

More than one and a half pounds of wild blue crabs, now they have at least 120 yuan a pound on their side.

This one is at least 180 yuan.

tied the blue crab and put it in the bucket, and Liu Xuexia was also very happy at this time.

The two men continued on their way.

Although Li Xiaofeng found crabs under a few stones from the map, they were too small, so Li Xiaofeng did not remind Liu Xuexia.

Along the way, Liu Xuexia picked up a few more conches.

After walking more than ten meters forward, under Li Xiaofeng's reminder, he found a red carapace red of about 3 taels and a blue crab of about 4 taels under the two stones.

In this way, the two of them walked forward while catching the sea.

Before you know it, you have moved away from the beach and come to a huge reef area.

In the cracks of the rocks of the reef, it is the favorite place for crabs to hide.

From the map, Li Xiaofeng has found a lot of crabs!

Pointing to one of the cracks in the stones, Li Xiaofeng said to Liu Xuexia: "Mom, I saw a big crab here!" ”

After listening to her son's words, Liu Xuexia squatted down, took out a long pair of pliers, and stretched it into the deep stone crevice!

If you want to get the crab out of the twisted stone crevice, this is also a technical job.

Once the crab is damaged in the process, it will not be able to sell for a price.

It took almost 10 minutes for a blue crab of 7 or 8 taels to be pinched out by Liu Xuexia intact.

It's a few dozen dollars in hand!

Liu Xuexia was also very happy.

Today's harvest has exceeded her usual harvest at sea.

She smiled and patted Li Xiaofeng's shoulder and said, "Son, you are really lucky today, continue to look carefully to see if you can find a few more crabs!" ”

"Okay, Mom!" I was very happy to see my mother, and Li Xiaofeng was also very happy.

In this way, after some careful search in the reef area, the two of them finally caught a total of 12 blue crabs.

The largest one weighs 3 pounds, which is simply a crab king!

Li Xiaofeng tried it, and the pliers the size of a child's fist could break a not-so-thin stick at once.

The smallest crab also weighs more than 2 taels.

Of course, there must be more than these big crabs found, but some are hidden too deeply, and the length of the pincers is not enough, so they really can't be clipped.

Looking at the bucket full of crabs, Liu Xuexia couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This is a huge gain for her, an old seafarer.

You must know that the crab caught this time alone has no problem selling for more than 1,200 yuan.

Looking at the bucket that was almost full, Li Xiaofeng was also very happy, and said to Liu Xuexia: "Mom, our bucket belt is small today, and now it is almost full." Let's go back and bring a big bucket next time! ”

Liu Xuexia stood up, looked at the bucket that was almost full, and was very happy, and said, "Okay, let's go back now." Fengcub, your luck today is really good, I usually come to catch the sea, but I don't have this harvest. ”

The two men carried buckets full of crabs and walked back while chatting.

Passing by the beach, several women from the same village saw that the two seemed to be planning to go back, so they smiled and surrounded them: "Xiaofeng's mother, why did you go back so early today?"

"It can't be that you haven't picked something up, right?"

"It's really getting harder to pick things up now!"

……

The aunt who approached at this time glanced at the bucket that Liu Xuexia was carrying, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Yo! So many crabs! ”

When the others heard her say this, they also hurriedly walked around, looking at the bucket full of crabs, and they were also startled.

An aunt who lived not far from Li Xiaofeng's house hurriedly asked, "Mom Xiaofeng, where did you catch this?" ”

Liu Xuexia pointed to the way she came and said, "I caught it in the reef area over there." When I came, there were too many people here, so we changed to that side, but I didn't expect to find so many crabs! ”

Hearing this, several people didn't care about small talk and picked up clams.

Carrying buckets and running to the reef area!

The ethos in the village is like this, when they see something good coming out of a place, many people flock to it.

Carrying tools and a bucket full of crabs, the mother and son walked to the place where the battery had just been discharged, and rode to their home.
