Their house is not far from the beach, and it takes ten minutes to walk there, but after arriving at the beach, they did not go directly to the beach, but continued along the shore to the outside of the pier.

There are also sand clams to dig under the beach, but you need to look for them, their beach is not small, not every location is distributed with sand clams, and it is not something that can be dug with a few shovels.

Sand clams are a type of clams, and they can also be called flower clams, but people in their village are used to calling them sand clams because they are dug up under the sand.

Don't look at it dug out from under the beach, but most of them have no sand, and in rare cases, there is sand when they are dug up, they only need to be raised overnight to eat.

Use it to cook soup, or put a few sand clams when cooking noodles, not to mention how fresh they are.

The clams in the market in later generations are not liked by the people in their village, they do not have the freshness they dig from the seaside, and the meat quality is not as good as their sand clams.

And the sand clams on their beach are a little different from the clams on the market, the sand clams are different in size, the small ones are the size of fingernails, and the big ones are the same as the clams, but the small ones are also very meaty.

There are two high tides and two low tides every day, and there will be children digging and playing at low tide every day, but when the tide is low on the 15th day of the new year, there will be more people.

And the people in their village are accustomed to digging outside the wharf, because only on the fifteenth day of the new year, the tide will go down very much, and the beach on the other side of the wharf will be exposed.

Whenever it is exposed, there are a lot of sand clams to dig under the beach, and the reef on the shore will also be exposed, and there will be sea melon seeds, oysters to pry on, and spicy snails to pick up on the reef.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea!

If you live by the sea, you won't go hungry.

When they reached the pier, they walked slowly down the steep slope of the stones, and by this time the tide had receded, revealing a small patch of sand, on which several women were already squatting to dig sand.

Generally, the women and children of the family do this thing, Ye Yaodong has not come to the beach to play since he got married, and he is not a child, so he has no novelty about this beach for a long time.

But when he was reborn, I don't know if there is a sense of age, his mood is different, and he is a little more fresh to this beach.

He was the first to shake over and look at the bucket beside the village woman, "Is there something to dig up?" Oh, there really is. How long has this been dug up? ”

Everyone was digging the surface of the beach with spatulas, and no one paid attention to him.

A man is idle all day long, when they are the same as him, isn't it good to have this gossip effort and dig twice?

No one paid attention to him, Ye Yaodong was not annoyed, watching his son squatting on the beach alone and playing with sand, he walked back to his wife's side, only to see that after a short while, there were already six or seven more sand clams in her basin.

Listening to the ding-dong twice, and two more, he squatted down, "You dug quite fast." ”

A spatula is one of the most practical tools for digging sand clams!

Some people didn't press the wooden handle, so they took a spatula blade and planed there.

Lin Xiuqing also held the spatula blade, and she said without raising her head: "Practice makes perfect, and this doesn't require any skills, just shaving sand." ”

Well, he didn't do much when he was a child, and the children who grew up by the sea played the most digging sand.

It's all here, and he can't watch it, and he doesn't have a spatula to plan, so he just uses his hands.

There are small bubble holes on the beach, Ye Yaodong digs it out casually, it is a sand clam, and he digs it out accurately.

Listening to the successive dingdong sounds in the basin, Lin Xiuqing looked sideways, so fast?

Ye Yaodong noticed her gaze and raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?" Do you think I'm amazing? Do I want to teach you? ”

As he spoke, he clasped his two hands on the surface of the beach, another!

Digging into the basin, he said, "This thing is very easy to dig, and I didn't dig it less when I was a child." ”

"How do you get it right?" She was really curious.

Although her mother's home is in the next town, her area is not near the sea and is close to the mountains.

Married to the beach for a few years, she followed her mother-in-law behind her, she did what people did, she followed every time she searched the sea, and everyone also took a spatula and planed it a small piece, and there was no deduction like him.

Ye Yaodong pointed to the small holes under the beach, "Do you see these?" Sand clams also have to breathe, and they breathe through these holes, and there must be a hole below. ”

While talking about it, he made a demonstration and took out two more.

Buckle holes, he's very good.

That is, because it is close to the first day of the new year, the beach on the pier has just receded, and the beach in the middle of the beach is not so easy.

Lin Xiuqing also took a look curiously, sure enough!

"Then what kind of spatula do you use, just dig it out!" It takes a lot of effort to plane with a spatula, and after a long time, your hands will be very sore.

"I still have to use a spatula, it's more convenient to have tools, but I don't have a spatula, so I use my hands to dig it. Some are a little bit on the surface, you don't need small holes to breathe, and after a while, the beach is stepped on, and you can't see the holes, that is, the tide has just receded now, so you can see the bubble holes. ”

Lin Xiuqing has been watching him talk, for so many years, except for the period when they first got married, they rarely had normal communication. He saw the dragon all day long, and when he came back, he ate and slept, at most two daily questions and answers.

Most of them are like hanging children, speaking so seriously for a while, and teaching her, which really makes her a little uncomfortable.

"Look, dig!"

"Oh!"

However, after a while, there were more people who came to dig clams, and the people who had been working hard these years were very hardworking, except for Ye Yaodong.

After squatting for a while, he felt a little numb in his legs, so he stood up and twisted his waist to twist his neck and look at the sea in the distance.

Dig for a while, just show it a little, and you can't be too industrious.

At this time, the tide is still receding, and many small boats are parked near the pier, and because of the tide, many boats have run aground on the beach, and can only return to the sea after the next high tide.

Now the time is half past nine, and today's tide should be at half past ten and then start to rise again, full at about half past four in the evening, and then back to the bottom at almost half past eleven in the evening, and full at about seven in the morning.

Every day is an hour later than the previous day, although Ye Yaodong has just come back from rebirth today, but at a glance at the tide, he knows what time the tide will rise and recede tomorrow.

No wonder his eldest brother and second brother want to come out to see the tide to start the boat, approaching the first day of the new year, the tide will recede in the middle of the night, they will go out to sea at about 1-2 o'clock at night, and the tide must not have risen much at that time.

The tide is not enough, and the boat cannot get out.
