Chapter 230: The Astronomical Tide is Coming Soon
Because of the great low tide.
The reef, which was rarely exposed to the sea, is exposed, and the slower-moving marine life is forced to stay in the puddle beneath the reef.
In a mixed area of reef and sea sand, the easiest thing to catch is a variety of snails.
Ou Wusheng was excited, in their Dazhu Village, the only snails that could be caught were field snails and stone snails, and they were very small.
And the conch here is very large, he grabbed a snail with a hairy conch and asked, "Duoyu, what kind of snail is this, why is it still hairy?" ”
Li Duoyu looked at it: "Mao Luo." ”
Ou Wusheng blinked, his whole body was covered with hair, and there was nothing wrong with the snail, and he grabbed a conch with thorns all over his body in the sand under the reef: "What about this?" ”
"Stinged snails."
Ou Wusheng found that the names of these conches were quite easy to understand, and he grabbed a long conch nearby: "Then this one looks so much like a screw, is it called a snail?" ”
Li Duoyu laughed, not thinking that Brother Ou would draw inferences: "That's right, we do call this a snail locally." ”
"Can you eat any of these snails?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "Most of the conch can be eaten." ”
"It's so good, it's really enviable."
Ou Wusheng, who lives in the mountains, came up with an idea at this moment, if Miao Miao can really be cured on Dandan Island, he should simply move to Dandan Island to live, and in the future, he will follow more fish and mix, maybe it will not be worse than Dazhu Village.
At this moment, he noticed a large conch, but just as he reached out to catch it, the conch ran away with long legs.
"Duoyu, what kind of snail is this, why do you have long legs, and you still run so fast."
Li Duoyu's eyes were fast, and he stepped directly on the hermit crab that was fleeing quickly.
This hermit crab is a conch shell, and the shell alone is as long as the palm of a carp.
The larger the hermit shell, the bigger the hermit crab, and it is rare to see such a large hermit crab.
Li Duoyu replied: "Brother Ou, this is not a snail, it is a hermit crab, generally after the snail dies, there will be a hermit crab hiding in the snail shell, we generally call this a shrimp monster locally." ”
Ou Wusheng suddenly realized.
Because he had been bitten by an orchid crab before, Ou Wusheng didn't dare to catch the crab with his hands now, thinking that the conch was safer, but he didn't expect to run into a foot one.
"It's really interesting in the sea, and when I was about to catch it, it ran up and scared me."
Li Duoyu put this big hermit crab into a bucket, in this era, hermit crabs are the same as penstand barnacles, they are cheap goods that no one wants, and no one picks up a lot of them on the beach.
Because hermit crabs don't have much meat, in terms of taste alone, they are definitely not as good as pike crabs and orchid crabs.
Everyone usually only eats the piece of meat on its tail, but at this time, when the hermit crab is creamy, it is also very delicious, and the taste is similar to the crab roe of ordinary crabs.
Li Duoyu remembers that in later generations, this kind of large hermit crab is a sought-after commodity, and it can be sold for hundreds of yuan a pound in the fattest season.
Some of them are more chic, like a kind of gray hermit crab, and they are often caught as pets.
Li Duoyu kept turning over the stones, and caught more than a dozen hermit crabs that were quite big in a row, if they were alone, they didn't taste very cool, and if there were more than ten of them, they could just fry a plate.
In the process of turning over stones.
Li Duoyu found that many stones had been turned over, and there were no big crabs, all of them were small crabs that were less than one or two.
It should be that the Zhao family brothers who came earlier than them have been raided.
That's how it is to catch the sea.
Those who come early will scavenge all the goods, and those who come late can only pick up some leftovers that others don't want.
These two brothers don't look down on these conch and hermit crabs at all, and only catch those sea goods that are easier to sell for money, and they don't look down on the smaller ones that are not large-scale.
However, no matter how good their skills are, there are always some fish that slip through the net, and Li Duoyu also caught about seven or eight palm-sized orchid crabs in the process of turning over the stones.
There is also a red octopus that is nearly two catties long, Brother Ou, who has never seen an octopus, sees that this thing is soft and soft, and it is still sucked on Li Duoyu's hand, and he feels a little nauseous.
"Is this something edible?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "It's not bad, the fried green peppers taste very good." ”
After he and Brother Ou caught seafood in this messy reef area for more than an hour, they filled the vat given by Chen Wenchao.
The bottom is full of sea urchins caught by Ou Ge,
There are probably more than forty of them.
One-third of them are orchid crabs and safflower crabs caught by Li Duoyu, and the rest are various snails and hermit crabs.
Li Duoyu is still quite satisfied with today's results, but unfortunately, he didn't catch some local little green dragons.
There are quite a lot of small green dragons here in Dongjia Reef, and he used to come here quite often to put sticky nets that catch crabs and lobsters.
Depending on the situation, it should be the first to be given by the Zhao brothers, after all, in this era, Xiaoqinglong is quite expensive.
Fortunately, Li Duoyu does not make money by catching the sea, he came here to catch the sea, just to let Brother Ou experience it.
Looking at a whole bucket of seafood, Ou Wusheng was very excited and happy, the first time he came to the beach, he caught so much seafood.
As a mountain man, he has never seen so much seafood, and the most they usually eat is some dried Balang fish.
Occasionally, some fishmongers would bring some mud clams to their village to sell, but the taste was not particularly good.
Ou Wusheng couldn't help but say: "I really envy you seaside people, there are so many seafood to eat every day." ”
Li Duoyu smiled.
He seems to have heard this sentence many times, people are like this, and the fishermen of Dandan Island, who are tired of eating seafood, are also very envious of the mountain people, who have so much game to eat.
Ask someone on Dandan Island what they want to eat the most, and it is estimated that nine times out of ten they will not say that they want to eat seafood.
They want to eat some wild game that is difficult to buy, such as wild boar, roe deer, rabbit, bamboo rat and the like.
See when the bucket is full.
Li Duoyu also planned to withdraw, but he didn't think that Brother Ou was careless, stepped on the air, and almost fell into a big puddle in front of him.
In this winter, Brother Ou, who was half wet and shivering, was shivering, but he pointed to the big puddle with excitement on his face.
"There's a big fish, I just saw a big fish in this pit."
And after seeing this puddle.
The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, this puddle was an old actor in his previous life.
There are a variety of names.
What a moon pit, a tiger pit, a bottomless pit, a dragon king pit. The name of each anchor is also different.
In the previous life, there were two brothers in the town next door who specialized in pumping water to catch the sea, and they often came to this waterhole to shoot videos of the pumping hole.
At first, when Li Duoyu swiped their video, he thought it was quite interesting, and it turned out that he could still fish in this thankless way.
If they really want to catch the big goods in the puddle, they can't pump the water, but they will just throw the sticky nets down.
Then take a long stick to beat the water, catch it if you can, and pull it down if you can't catch it.
At the beginning of the pumping hole, it was quite normal, and the catch was some local fish, and the size was not very large.
But it didn't take long for the frequent appearance of saury of the same size, as well as large groupers and the like, and the latter was even more exaggerated, and some marine fish that only exist in tropical coral reefs directly appeared.
The local fishermen all knew that if there were so many seafood in the puddle, it was estimated that they would not need to pump the water, and it would already be full of fishermen's sticky nets.
But everyone also tacitly understands that no one is going to dismantle the stage, regardless of whether these anchors are cheating or not, or just performing, from a certain point of view, it does make the seafood of local fishermen sell better.
Li Duoyu remembered that when the sea was the hottest, it was also the most expensive time for seafood to be sold on Dandan Island, and the number of tourists who came to Dandan Island was also very large.
Many stone houses on the island have been converted into homestays, and there are even real estate developers who want to build resorts on their island.
Many young people also returned to the village and started live streaming to sell seafood, and for a while, Dandan Island was very lively and prosperous.
It's a pity.
Over the years, the seafood popularity that has been accumulated with great difficulty has been ruined by little devils overnight.
Before Li Duoyu came to this world, the fishermen on the island discussed the most about the problem of the little devil's sewage discharge into the sea.
Once the sewage is discharged into the sea, the impact on the fishermen of Dantan Island is huge, especially those who have invested all their possessions in fishing boats and aquaculture.
It's been more than a year since I came to this world, and I don't know if the little devil discharged the sewage into the sea, but with his understanding of the little devil.
Although this nation has a lot of etiquette, most of the time it is extremely cautious and harboring evil intentions, they would rather make the world dirtier than dirty only themselves, and the probability of touching sewage is very high.
Fortunately, Li Duoyu came to this clean world, otherwise the kelp and abalone he raised would probably have to be sold at a loss.
Li Duoyu sighed.
I didn't think that this puddle would bring back so many memories for him.
He glanced at the thick horse watch on his wrist.
It's half past ten in the morning.
It's almost at the lowest point of the tide, and the tide is about to start rising.
Li Duoyu climbed to a relatively high reef nearby, looked at Xiao Dongjia's side, and sure enough, when he was more than a hundred meters away, he saw two figures, and shouted directly: "Zhao Dahai." ”
After hearing someone call his name.
The two brothers turned around and saw Li Duoyu, and the two were dumbfounded on the spot.
Zhao Erniu smiled bitterly: "Why did Li Duoyu come here, brother, we won't be followed by him." ”
Zhao Dahai frowned and said: "Impossible, when I came here, I deliberately went around in a circle, and no one followed behind our boat." ”
"Then how did Li Duoyu get here?"
"How do I know?" Zhao Dahai furrowed his brows, although their brothers were very grateful to Li Duoyu.
It can be one yard to one yard.
To be honest, the blue crabs on Dandan Island were almost finished by the two of them.
So during this time, they were studying how to catch other crabs, and it took the two brothers more than a month to finally find a safe route in and out of the Big and Small East Reefs.
Since there were no fishermen here, there were a lot of seafood, and they couldn't catch them at all, so the two of them originally planned to use the big and small Dongjia as their own back garden and make a fortune.
I didn't think I'd come twice.
I met Li Duoyu on the island.
Zhao Dahai sighed helplessly and waved his hand at Li Duoyu: "Village director, I'm the sea, why did you come here." ”
Li Duoyu replied: "There are too many people catching the sea on our island, so I came here to take a look, I didn't think you two were there." ”
Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly.
Just now, he was still a little lucky, thinking that Li Duoyu was just lucky to land on Dongjia Reef safely.
But Li Duoyu listened to this, as if he was very familiar with this place, and he had been here before.
The two brothers both had a bitter face, thinking that Li Duoyu was very evil, not only familiar with Xijia Reef, but also knew how to go from Dongjia.
But it was clear that he rarely went out to sea to fish.
The time to be a fisherman is also very short, but how can you understand everything, which makes the two very depressed, Li Duoyu is different from them, he is engaged in farming, and he is the village secretary, so he is not short of money at all.
If he is here, Chen Wenchao will also come 100%, and if they go back, tell the villagers of Dandan Island about the route in and out of Dongjiajiao.
Then their plan to make a fortune will be in vain.
Today, the two brothers caught it very well, and it felt like they had stabbed the crab's nest.
Originally, they were packed in buckets, but later found that they couldn't catch a bucket at all, so they directly replaced them with sacks, and it only took three hours, and the two of them caught hundreds of crabs and lobsters.
Also in the puddle, caught a small dog shark and a rice fish.
The two brothers estimated that they could earn at least fifty yuan today.
In order to prevent the information of the sea from leaking out, they did not even plan to return to the island to sell seafood, but prepared to go to the mussel wharf to sell it.
It's all over!
In the future, when the tide is high, the big and small Dongjia may all be people who catch the sea.
Obviously, they had already gone to other places to find the blind man Chen who lived with his son.
Chen Blind said that the two brothers are old bulls, but as long as they are willing to work hard, the end scene must be very good.
They have really worked hard, and it was not easy to find a way to make a fortune, but they didn't expect to be discovered by others again.
However, at this time, Li Duoyu frowned and looked around, he found that the situation was a little wrong today, and the tide had withdrawn too much.
Normally, even if the tide is high, the depth of the low tide of Dantan Island is about four meters at most.
But now that all the rocky reefs in Dongjia and Big and Small have been exposed, Li Duoyu feels that today's tide has receded at least six or seven meters deep.
If it weren't for an earthquake, there was only one possibility.
Li Duoyu shouted at the Zhao family brothers who had already run outside: "The tide is about to rise, you two don't go over again, come back quickly." ”
When Zhao Dahai heard it, he shouted in his throat: "Don't worry, we'll go back immediately." ”
Li Duoyu looked at the rising waves in the distance, and could clearly feel that today's waves were louder and a little fiercer than usual.
Hit on the reef.
Splash a metre or two of waves.
Li Duoyu frowned and looked at the two brothers, he had already reminded them, and he had fulfilled his obligations, so he couldn't go over, so he forcibly dragged them back.
But as soon as he and Brother Ou walked back about a hundred meters, they heard a cry for help in the distance.
"It's a big wave."
"Village chief, help us."
