230. Chapter 230 The Astronomical Tide Is Coming (1/2)

Chapter 230 The astronomical tide is coming soon

Due to the low tide.

The reefs on Tung Kip Reef that were rarely exposed to the sea are all exposed, and slower-moving marine life will be forced to stay in the puddles under the rocks.

In such a mixed area of ​​​​reefs and sea sand, the easiest thing to catch is various snails.

Ou Wusheng looked excited when he caught it. In their Dazhu Village, the only snails that could be caught were field snails and stone snails, and they were both very small.

The conchs here were all very big. He caught a conch with a hairy body and asked: "Duoyu, what kind of conch is this? Why is it still hairy?"

Li Duoyu glanced at it: "Mao snail."

Ou Wusheng blinked his eyes. The whole body was covered with hair, so there was nothing wrong with the conch. He caught another conch covered in thorns from the sand below the reef: "Where is this one?"

"Snail."

Ou Wusheng found that the names of these conchs were quite easy to understand. He grabbed a long conch nearby and said, "Then this one looks so much like a screw, is it called a conch?"

Li Duoyu laughed, not expecting Brother Ou to be able to draw inferences about other cases: "Yes, we do call this snail in our local area."

"Can all these snails be eaten?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Most conches are edible."

"It's so good. It's really enviable."

Ou Wusheng, who lives in the mountains, had an idea at this moment. If Miaomiao can really be cured on Dandan Island, he might as well just move to Dandan Island and hang out with Duoyu in the future. I came from Dazhu Village on a mission.

At this moment, I noticed another large conch, but when I reached out to catch it, the conch quickly ran away with its long legs.

"Duoyu, what kind of snail is this? How come it has long legs and can run so fast."

With quick eyes and quick feet, Li Duoyu stepped directly on the hermit crab that was running away quickly.

This hermit crab lives in a rattle snail shell. The shell alone is as long as the palm of a Lido fish.

The larger the conch shell the hermit crab is, the larger the hermit crab will be. Such large hermit crabs are rare in Lido fish.

Li Duoyu replied: "Brother Ou, this is not a snail, but a hermit crab. Generally, after the snail dies, there will be a hermit crab hiding in the snail shell. In our local area, this is generally called a shrimp monster."

Ou Wusheng suddenly realized.

Since he was bitten by an orchid crab before, Ou Wusheng didn't dare to catch the crab with his hands. He thought conch was safer, but he unexpectedly encountered one with legs.

"The things in the sea are really interesting. Just when I was about to catch it, it started running and scared me."

Li Duoyu put the big hermit crab into the bucket. In this era, hermit crabs, like pencil barnacles, are bargains that no one wants. There are a lot of them on the beach and no one picks them up.

Because hermit crabs don’t have much meat, in terms of taste, they are definitely not as good as swimming crabs and orchid crabs.

People usually only eat the piece of meat on its tail. At this time, when the hermit crab has paste, it is also very delicious. The taste is similar to the crab roe of ordinary crabs.

Li Duoyu remembered that in later generations, this kind of large hermit crab was a hot commodity, and could be sold for hundreds of yuan per pound in the most fertile season.

Some of them look more unique, like a type called gray hermit crab, which are often caught and kept as pets.

Li Duoyu kept turning over the rocks and caught more than a dozen large hermit crabs in succession. If only one was eaten by itself, it would not be very satisfying to eat, but if there were more than ten, it would be enough to fry a plate.

In the process of turning over stones.

Li Duoyu found that many rocks had been turned over, and there were no big crabs, but only small crabs of less than one or two.

It should have been searched by the Zhao brothers who came earlier than them.

That's what it's like to catch the sea.

Those who come earlier will plunder all the bulk goods, while those who come later can only pick up some of the unwanted items left by others.

The two brothers looked down upon these conchs and hermit crabs at all. They only caught those large-scale products that were easier to sell for money. They didn't like the smaller ones or the small ones.

However, no matter how good their skills are, there are always some fish that slip through the net. In the process of turning over the rocks, Li Duoyu also caught about seven or eight palm-sized orchid crabs.

There was also a red octopus weighing nearly two kilograms. Brother Ou, who had never seen an octopus before, felt a little nauseous when he saw this soft thing sucking on Li Duoyu's hand.

"Can this be eaten?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Not bad, the fried green pepper tastes good."

After he and Brother Ou caught seafood in this messy reef area for more than an hour, they filled the big bucket given by Chen Wenchao.

The bottom is full of sea urchins caught by Brother Ou.

There are probably more than forty.

One-third were orchid crabs and red flower crabs caught by Li Duoyu, and the rest were various snails and hermit crabs.

Li Duoyu was quite satisfied with today's results. Unfortunately, he didn't catch any local green dragons.

There are quite a lot of little green dragons here in Tung Kip Reef. In the past, they often came here to put sticky nets specially designed to catch crabs and lobsters.

Judging from the situation, the Zhao brothers should have gotten there first. After all, in this era, Xiao Qinglong was 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. It was his first time to come to the beach and he caught so much seafood.

As a mountain person, he has never seen so much seafood. What they usually eat the most is some dried Balang fish.

Occasionally, some fishmongers would bring some razor clams to their villages to sell, but the taste was not particularly good.

Ou Wusheng couldn't help but said: "I really envy you seaside people, you have so much seafood to eat every day."

Li Duoyu smiled.

He seemed to have heard this sentence many times. People are like this. The fishermen on Dandan Island, who were tired of eating seafood, also envied the people in the mountains for having so much game to eat.

If you ask anyone on Tan Dan Island what they want to eat the most, it is estimated that nine out of ten people will not say they want to eat seafood.

They would rather eat some of the more difficult-to-find mountain delicacies, such as wild boars, deer, rabbits, bamboo rats, and the like.

See after the bucket is filled.

Li Duoyu also planned to withdraw, but Brother Ou accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell into a large puddle in front of him.

In this winter, Ou Ge, half of his body wet, was shivering with cold, but he pointed to the big puddle with excitement on his face.

"There is a big fish. I just saw a big fish in this pit."

And after seeing this puddle.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. This puddle was an old actor in his previous life.

There are various names.

The Moon Pit, the Tiger Pit, the Bottomless Pit, and the Dragon King Pit. Every anchor has a different name.

In the previous life, there were two brothers in the next town who specialized in pumping water to catch the sea. They often came to this puddle to take videos of pumping the puddle.

When Li Duoyu first saw their videos, he thought it was quite interesting. It turned out that he could still fish in such a thankless way.

If their local fishermen really want to catch the big fish in the puddle, it is impossible to pump the water, but will just throw the sticky net down.

Then use a long stick to fetch water, grab it if you can, and pull it down if you can't. At the beginning of pumping the water hole, everything was quite normal. All we caught were some local fish, and they were not very big.

But not long after, three swordfish of the same size appeared frequently, as well as large groupers and the like. Later, it was even more exaggerated, and some marine fish that are only found in tropical coral reefs appeared directly.

The local fishermen all knew very well that if the puddle really contained so many seafood, they would probably be filled with fishermen's sticky nets without them having to pump the water.

But everyone tacitly understood that no one was trying to disrupt the situation. Regardless of whether these anchors were faking it or were just performing, from a certain perspective, it did make local fishermen’s seafood more popular.

Li Duoyu remembers that when sea fishing was the most popular, it was also the time when the seafood sold on Dandan Island was the most expensive, and there were also a lot of people visiting Dandan Island.

Many stone houses on the island have been transformed into B&Bs, and some real estate developers even want to build resorts on their islands.

Many young people also returned to the village and started live streaming selling seafood. For a time, Dandan Island was very lively and prosperous.

Unfortunately.

The enthusiasm for seafood that had been built up over the years was destroyed overnight by the little devil.

Before Li Duoyu came to this world, the most discussed issue among the fishermen on the island was the little devil's sewage discharge into the sea.

Once the sewage is discharged into the sea, the impact on the fishermen on Dandan Island will be huge, especially those who have invested all their wealth in fishing boats and breeding.

It has been more than a year since he came to this world. I don’t know if the little devil has discharged the sewage into the sea, but based on his understanding of the little devil.

Although this nation has a lot of etiquette, most of the time they are extremely petty and harbor evil intentions. They would rather make the world dirtier than make themselves dirty only. The probability of sewage discharge is estimated to be very high.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu came to this clean world, otherwise the kelp and abalone he cultivated would probably have to be sold at a loss due to the sewage.

Li Duoyu sighed.

He never thought that this puddle would bring back so many memories for him.

He glanced at the thick stopwatch on his wrist.

It's already half past ten in the morning.

The tide has almost reached its lowest point and is about to start rising.

Li Duoyu climbed to a relatively high reef nearby and looked over at Xiaodongjia. Sure enough, when he was more than a hundred meters away, he saw two figures and shouted directly: "Zhao Dahai."

After hearing someone calling his name.

The two brothers turned around and were dumbfounded on the spot when they saw Li Duoyu.

Zhao Erniu smiled bitterly and said, "Why is Li Duoyu here? Brother, we won't be followed by him."

Zhao Dahai frowned and said: "Impossible. When I came here, I made a special circle and there was no one following our boat."

"Then how did Li Duoyu get here?"

"How do I know?" Zhao Dahai frowned, although their brothers were very grateful to Li Duoyu.

One code can be returned to one code.

To be honest, the two of them had almost finished catching all the blue crabs on Dandan Island.

So during this period, they were studying to catch other crabs. It took the two brothers more than a month to finally find a safe route in and out of Tung Kip Reef.

Since there are no fishermen coming here, there are so many seafood that it is impossible to catch them all. The two originally planned to use Tangjia and Tangjia as their own back gardens and make a fortune.

I didn’t expect to come here only twice.

I met Li Duoyu on the island.

Zhao Dahai sighed helplessly and waved towards Li Duoyu: "Village Director, I am Dahai, why are you here."

Li Duoyu replied: "There are too many people on our island going to sea, so I came over here to take a look. I didn't expect you two to be there too."

Zhao Dahai laughed bitterly.

Just now he was still a bit lucky, thinking that Li Duoyu was lucky to land safely on Dongjia Reef.

But Li Duoyu's words sounded like he was very familiar with this place and had been here before.

Both brothers had bitter faces, thinking that Li Duoyu was very strange. Not only was he familiar with Xijia Reef, but he also knew how to get to Dongjia.

But he rarely went out to sea to fish.

He had been a fisherman for a short time, but how could he know everything? This made the two of them very depressed. Li Duoyu was different from them. He was engaged in breeding and was also the village secretary. He was not short of money at all.

If he was here, Chen Wenchao would definitely come here. If they went back and told the villagers of Dandan Island the route in and out of Dongjia Reef.

Then their plan to make a fortune would be ruined.

Today, the two brothers caught very happily, feeling like they had poked the crab's nest.

Originally, they used buckets, but later they found that one bucket was not enough, so they changed to sacks. In just three hours, the two of them caught hundreds of crabs and lobsters.

In the puddle, they also caught a small dog shark and a big rice fish.

The two brothers estimated that they could make at least fifty yuan today.

In order to prevent the information of catching seafood from being leaked, they did not even plan to return to the island to sell seafood, but planned to row to the Qingkou Wharf to sell.

It's all over now!

In the future, when the tide is high, the big and small Dongjia may be full of people catching seafood.

They have obviously gone to other places to find the blind man Chen who lives with his son to calculate.

Blind Chen said that the two brothers were born to be old cows, but as long as they are willing to work hard, the end will definitely be very good.

They really worked hard, and finally found 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 today was a bit wrong. The tide receded too much.

Normally, even with high tides, the depth of the ebb tide on Dandan Island is only about four meters at most.

But now the rocky reefs of Dadongjia and Xiaodongjia are all exposed. Li Duoyu thinks that the tide has receded at least six or seven meters today.

If it can recede so deep, there is only one possibility if it is not an earthquake.

Li Duoyu shouted to the Zhao brothers who had already run far away: "The tide is about to rise. You two should not go over there anymore. Come back quickly."

Zhao Dahai shouted at the top of his voice after hearing it: "Don't worry, we will be back soon."

Li Duoyu looked at the rising tide waves in the distance and could clearly feel that the waves today were louder and more fierce than usual.

Hitting the reefs.

Splashing one or two meters of waves.

Li Duoyu frowned and looked at the two brothers. He had already reminded them and fulfilled his obligations. He couldn't just go over there and force them back.

But he and Brother Ou had just walked back about a hundred meters when they heard a cry for help from afar.

"The waves are so big."

"Village director, please save us."
