"Huh!"

"Looks like I'm going to make some money today!"

Zhao Dahai had a smile on his face.

The mangrove ecology is very rich, there is no shortage of small fish, small shrimp, mud snails and sea melons, however, these are small things, do not make money, however, there is one thing that can make money and the price is good, that is, blue crab, this is a common crab in the sea, eat small fish and shrimp, etc., generally grow in the intertidal mud and sand beaches and mangroves and other places, during the day, hide in the hole to avoid natural enemies but more importantly, to avoid the sun, once the water will die, only come out at night to move out to feed, this is the blue crab hole in front of you. This time into the mangrove forest, mud snails and sea melon seeds are just an addition, and the real goal is to dig up blue crabs.

Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry and immediately excavated.

There are many holes in the mangrove forest, especially the earthen dams on both sides of this small ditch, but not all of them are blue crab holes, and it is even more impossible that all of them have blue crabs. Blue crab caves are generally relatively flat, and in addition, blue crab caves are divided into old and new. The old holes are abandoned holes, and the new ones are the holes that have just been dug recently, and the blue crab holes are a little shallow, but they are generally deeper, and the bigger the bigger, the deeper they are dug. In order to avoid vain efforts, before digging blue crabs, you have to judge whether the hole is a blue crab hole, if so, then judge the new hole, the old hole, the new hole, you have to judge whether there are blue crabs inside, the newly dug hole, there may also be no blue crabs, this is because the blue crabs out of the hole to forage and find that the sun is going to rise or the temperature rises, too late to go back to the original hole will immediately dig a place, it is too late to find a small puddle to lie down.

Zhao Dahai observed carefully. The entrance of the cave is damp and rough, a stall of granular black mud, reach out and pinch it, there is obviously water, this is the new mud just dug out not long ago, there are slender traces of sharp things such as knives or branches near the hole, this is caused by the claws of the blue crab when climbing, carefully look at the range of two square meters around the hole, only the hole is less than half a square meter There are traces, all extend from the outside to the inside, which is left by crawling inside.

Blue Crab Cave! New! There are blue crabs in it.

Zhao Dahai did not hesitate at this time, carrying a hoe to dig directly, the mangrove forest is full of roots, it is not easy to dig, and at the same time it is a protected tree species can not be dug, but on both sides of the ditch, there is no mangrove forest without roots and the general soil is soft, the arms are hard, three times five divided by two, and half a meter deep is dug at once.

Zhao Dahai saw that there was water at the bottom of the pit and immediately stopped. The blue crab has to soak in the seawater, or it will not die of dehydration, but at the same time, it cannot be submerged in the sea water all the time, and it has to breathe. When the blue crab is digging a hole, it will stop when it digs a little lower in the water, and it is lying on the waterline in the hole during the day. When digging blue crabs, you have to stop when you see water, and you can't use a hoe to dig violently, or it is very likely that a hoe will go down, and the blue crab will be split in half or broken pliers and claws, don't want to sell it for money.

Zhao Dahai pulled a few times, cleaned up the soil dug out by the hoe, piled up around the hole to avoid the water in the small ditch from pouring in, reached out and carefully picked the hole in the waterline, and expanded it while cleaning.

Zhao Dahai supported the edge of the pit dug with his left hand, grabbed the mud with his right hand, not big or small, he could hold it with one hand, leaned down, and the mud ball was pushed into the hole in front of his hand.

The blue crab has amazing strength in the pliers, the big old green crab, the pliers are forced, the chopsticks can be broken, the fingers touch, the skin is cracked, and the finger bones are broken if you are unlucky.

You can't see the blue crab in the hole, blindly reaching out to dig it is no different from looking for death, rubbing a ball of mud in your hand to push it, once you meet the blue crab directly paste its face, plus the hole is narrow - the blue crab digging hole is tailored to its size, it is impossible to make a three-bedroom and two-hall or a 100-square-meter hall - no matter how powerful the pliers are useless.

Zhao Dahai moved very slowly, stretched in half a forearm, and when he reached the bottom of the cave, he touched a hard thing, pushed it forward a little hard, and the hard thing moved.

Blue Crab!

Zhao Dahai's heart skipped a beat with excitement.

The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish! The bigger the hole, the bigger the blue crab. The opening of this cave is more than 20 centimeters wide, and if there is none, it is large.

Zhao Dahai stabilized his mind, the most important thing at this time is not to be afraid of running away, but to catch the blue crab safely and smoothly, and push forward hard to push the mud ball in front of his hand, a little uneasy, and grabbed a small ball of mud into it to press the blue crab tightly, if it is small, one hand will do, however, the hole is relatively large, two hands reached in, forked ten fingers, and stuck to the cave wall wolf fiercely forward, a ball of mud the same size as a football was dug out, and the sea mud pressed the blue crab's pincers could not be stretched out, and the tongs could not be clamped. The mud balls were put in a net bag, soaked in the ditch and shook a few times, and the sea mud was scattered.

"Hah!"

"That's a really good head!"

Zhao Dahai picked up the net bag, and a big blue crab of more than one and a half catties opened its teeth and danced its claws. The food in the mangrove forest is abundant, the blue crabs are big and fat, and the purchase of half a catty is forty-one catties, and one catty can have fifty or sixty yuan, so one can only earn one hundred and eighty yuan. The blue crab in the net bag was caught out, and a thin vine was pulled on the edge of the small ditch and tied up, the blue crab was violent, not tied well, and the tongs were easy to fall off, and the price was greatly discounted, and half of it was not seen immediately.

Make money!

Zhao Dahai felt happy in his heart, took a sip of water to rest, backfilled the hole he had dug, and walked along the small ditch with a net bag and a small hoe.

The sun hangs in the sky.

Mangrove forests are dense and impermeable.

There is no shelter on the top of the small ditch.

It's as hot as a steamer on fire.

Zhao Dahai was sweating profusely, the clothes on his body were wet and dry, covered with a fine layer of white salt frost, and the sea water in the small ditch was already hot.

Zhao Dahai took a look at the net bag he was carrying, he didn't feel tired at all, and in two or three hours, he dug up five blue crabs, each of which was more than a catty, and it was three or four hundred yuan to get it.

Work hard!

Come on!

Roll up your sleeves and work hard!

Earn enough money to repair fishing boats early so that you can go out to sea to fish.

Zhao Dahai stepped on the water and kept walking forward, until the sun was setting westward, and when he was halfway through, the sun watched disappear, and the mangrove forest was so dark that he could barely see clearly.

Zhao Dahai no longer waded into the water, got on the earthen dam, walked along the edge of the ditch, turned on the flashlight, kept shining on the mangrove forest on the side, there was no high tide, the mangrove forest was full of mudflats, one by one small holes, from time to time there were a few thumb-sized red crabs crawling out, one pincer boss and the other small one was not decent, this is a fiddler crab, mangroves such things are dense, sometimes even climb directly to the trees, when you get into the mangroves, you have to be careful that this thing falls from the head to the neck, the clamps are not particularly painful and the blue crab is not comparable, But it was very unpleasant to be startled and clamp it at the same time.

Zhao Dahai's target is not these fiddler crabs, this thing is really no one wants, the blue crab is the target, the mangrove forest is not a small ditch There are blue crab holes in such a place, there are more in the mangrove forest, but you can't dig it, you can only wait to run out of the hole, the night is the best time, as soon as it gets dark, the blue crab will come out of the hole to find food, ten minutes have passed, there is the first harvest, and after ten minutes or so I found another blue crab.

"Is this the rhythm of getting rich?"

Zhao Dahai's eyes widened, and he didn't let go of any inch where the flashlight swept over.
