Five Hundred and Seventy-Seven. Picking up Fish (2/?)

After getting up early the next morning, Qin Shiou, who was about to go to exercise, knew why the fishermen discussed so happily last night.

Generally speaking, from a month’s point of view, when the new moon or full moon, the sun and the moon exert gravitational force in the same direction or in the opposite direction, resulting in *; The main ebb, each cycle is about half a month.

From a year's point of view, there are also two high and low tides.

During the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, if the earth, the moon and the sun are almost on the same plane, the tidal force at this time is greater than that of other months, resulting in two times of spring and autumn* in a year.

The tides at other times are not very large, and you can't even feel it at ordinary times.

But there are exceptions to everything, and the size of the tide has a lot to do with the distance between the moon and the sun from the earth.

As we all know, the orbit of the moon is an ellipse, and the sky approaches and moves away from the earth about once every month or so. The near-earth tide is 39% larger than the far-earth tide. When the tide coincides with the low tide, the tidal range is particularly small.

Similarly, the orbit of the earth around the sun is also an ellipse. At the perihelion, the sun’s gravitational force is strong and the tides are strong. At the aphelion, the gravitational force is small and the tides are weak.

To put it simply, if the earth’s position appears on a certain day at the closest point to the moon’s orbit, and the exact position is also close to the sun, that is, when the sun, the moon, and the earth are almost in a straight line, the seawater will receive the greatest tidal force on that day , the most powerful tide will reveal its true face.

This huge tide. It starts today.

The tide has been low since the early hours of the morning, and when Qin Shiou went to the beach for his morning exercise, he saw that the sea had receded far away. The thick and solid stone pillars under the high-piled pier were exposed.

The sea receded, exposing the former seabed.

The fishing grounds are full of reefs. These reefs are uneven, covered with seaweed, seaweed, aquatic plants, etc. that have not left with the tide. In addition, there are many fish, shrimp, crabs and the like on the beach.

A large piece of reddish-brown reef appeared on the beach, and they hadn't seen the sun for a long time. The texture of the bottom of the Daqin Fishing Ground is very good, it is all sand. Qin Shiou could run over in his sneakers and remove a rock. A few small crabs appeared below.

Beside the reef, four or five smelt fish were bouncing around with difficulty. They were not dead yet, relying on the seawater attached to the seaweed next to them to survive.

Except for smelt.

There were bright silver herrings around, and the tiger picked up one and shook its head, and Bush flew down, and it swung the fish up with a raised head, and with a precise probe, Bush bit the fish into his mouth.

Xiong Da yawned and ran over, and when he saw so many fish on the beach, he was overjoyed, especially the salmon that did not return to the sea in time with the tide and stayed on the beach. This is the eye of a brown bear. The supreme delicacy in it.

Qin Shiou played with the little guys here for a while. Winnie called him to have breakfast, and after he returned, Shirley and the others bounced downstairs, wearing slippers and the like. Get ready to pick up fish and scallops.

Duo Duo followed behind Xue Li like a little tail, holding Xue Li's skirt tightly with her small hands. Qin Shiou waved to her and greeted her. She smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously to him.

Qin Shiou handed the small cup of milk juice to Dodo, and Dodo pecked at his hand. She can't speak, she can only express her feelings with actions. Most people don't understand sign language, so she always uses kissing gestures for people she likes.

Winnie carried Dodo onto the stool, and several little ground mice rolled in like fur balls, looking for the fruit peel. Duo Duo looked at them curiously, and the little chinchillas raised their heads and stared curiously at Duo Duo with their small dark round eyes.

Winnie divided an apple into five pieces and distributed it to the little ground squirrel brothers. While eating the apple, they continued to look at Duo Duo, with their mouths propped up high, and they wriggled around very cutely.

"I forgot to introduce the little ground squirrel's family to Dodo." Qin Shiou smiled, he hugged Dodo down, and Dodo immediately squatted on the ground and reached out to touch the little ground squirrel tentatively.

The little ground squirrel didn't dodge, turned to look at her, and continued to eat his share of apples quickly.

Dodo spread out her left hand, which she had been holding all the time, and there were several blackberries in it. She handed her small hand to the little ground squirrel. Substituted for delicious juicy blackberries.

Mao Weilong and Liu Shuyan also came down from behind. Seeing Dodo playing happily with the little ground squirrel, Liu Shuyan nodded to Qin Shiou and smiled, "Thank you for helping to take care of Dodo."

Qin Shiou smiled and said: "What kind of care is this? The little girl is making friends by herself. Come on, let's have dinner. After dinner, we can go to the beach to pick some fish."

Hearing this, Shirley and Gordon yelled, "Qin, let's not go to school, and let's also pick up fish at home, okay?"

"Yes, I saw from the window just now that there are a lot of fish and shrimps in our fishing ground on the beach, which must be more than the fishing ground in the town." Michelle said.

Qin Shiou patted the table and asked them to eat their own food quickly, and said, "It's okay to stay, but you have to look after Sister Duoduo, understand?"

The conditions were met quickly, and the children finished their breakfast at an unprecedented speed, and ran out bouncing around.

Dodo hastily drank the juice in her glass, pressed down on the stool and jumped down to chase after her. She ran a few steps and thought for a while, then came back to bring the little ground squirrels with her.

Qin Shiou yelled, Xueli remembered the conditions just now, and hurried back to pull Dodo, Dodo pointed to the little ground squirrels behind her with an anxious expression, Xueli called Gordon back and asked him and Powell to bring the little ground squirrels .

"What are you doing with them?" Gordon asked unwillingly.

Shirley frowned and said, "Are your ears itchy?"

Gordon shrank his neck, and quickly said with a smile: "But you can also take it."

One morning, Xiong Da was running happily on the beach, with a fat face and five senses crowded together happily, with a silver-scaled salmon in its mouth and a half-sized Atlantic salmon in its paws. Dabai followed behind him, holding a sockeye salmon.

When the children ran to the reef area, they naturally picked big fish first.

On the long coastline, the sea water has receded by at least two to three hundred meters. On this vacated beach, reefs can be seen everywhere, and stranded fish and shrimps are everywhere.

The luxuriance of the fishing ground was vividly displayed in the eyes of everyone at this moment, and the fishermen who came behind were full of emotion: "It has been more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen so many fish left behind when the tide is low."

Shaq drove some incubators over with his pickup truck. There were ice cubes in the boxes, and the collected valuable big fish were put into them, which would be sold later.

Several children came up and dragged an incubator and ran happily into the bottom of the reef. Winnie shouted: "Be careful, don't take off your shoes, there are a lot of broken stones, understand?"

The children waved their hands without looking back to show that they understood. As for whether they listened or not, only God knows. (to be continued)
