little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 45 Catch Crabs ([-])

Li Haoyuan drove Xu Pengfei to Dongping Village in a second-hand electric car.They are already very familiar with this commuting route, even with some villagers in Dongping Village.

"Uncle, aunt." After parking the battery car, Li Haoyuan immediately went to work, "What should I do?"

Zhang Liye pointed to the shovel and hoe, "Clean it up, let's go down and find a small island to dig crabs."

Zhao Ling also felt emotional, "You have lived together for four years, and you are both hard-working children. Why is it just ours? Those who don't know think it is a child from the city, and they think it is a son-in-law."

"Brain work." Zhang Miao, holding a teacup, stood at the door, and joked brazenly, "There is a truth called 'those who work with their minds govern others, and those who work hard govern others'. You should all know this."

Zhang Liye was in a good mood, raised his hand and said, "I think you deserve a beating, you are not big or small here!"

Li Haoyuan followed suit and said, "Uncle, let me tell the truth. Ah Shui likes the way you get along very easily. To be honest, I am more envious. My mother is okay to say, the key is my dad. I know my dad loves me, but he It’s the kind of old-fashioned one. It’s said that Chinese classical fathers, my dad may be like that.”

Xu Pengfei also said, "I heard that the mouse is calling his father. It's basically a matter of business. Those who don't know it think it's a work report. I'm anxious when I see it. The way they get along is probably a little tiring."

Although Zhang Liye was happy in his heart, what he said was another matter, "Your father is an intellectual, not like us mud legs. Besides, someone like Xiao Miao can make you mad."

Holding the teacup, Zhang Miao continued to be complacent, "Then there's nothing I can do! This is my own son, and I can't even shake him off. I've made preparations a long time ago, and I'm going to stay at this house anyway. Eat yours, drink Yours, if you have nothing to do, I will find some anger for you."

The pleasant preparations before work were over, and a group of five people boarded the car and went straight to the small pier.

The small fishing boat started, and Zhang Miao was in charge of driving the small fishing boat, naturally there was an 'old driver' escorting him.

After stopping the boat fairly smoothly, Zhang Liye began to criticize, "Stop the throttle early when stopping the boat. Fortunately, there are not big waves here. If a wave comes over, the boat will hit the rock all at once."

Zhang Miao accepts the criticism humbly. This time, the driving of the small fishing boat can only be rated as good, not excellent.

This is an 'island', or a peninsula.

This is actually the estuary mudflat, which is a mangrove forest.When there is tide, these trees may be submerged by sea water, but when the tide is low, they may bring good harvests.

"Be careful not to be bitten by mosquitoes and water fleas." Zhao Ling, wearing sleeves, reminded that these things should not be sloppy. "Making money is important, but the body is even more important. There are more dead branches and leaves here, so pay attention to your feet. "

For such a reminder, just nod obediently, it is a very necessary reminder.

This is a mangrove forest, there is no road at all, just wading through the mud with deep feet and shallow feet.

"Generally there are no snakes by the sea, but you need to be careful." Zhang Liye also rushed over and imparted his experience, "Crab holes are usually near the water, and the holes are relatively flat and humid."

This is the experience of the old fishermen, teaching these young apprentices.

"You look for it yourself. If there is fresh mud at the entrance of many crab holes, there are basically crabs." Zhang Liye said, and also reminded, "But be careful, don't blindly reach into the hole, it's not right to be caught. Kidding."

Zhang Miao also frightened the two little rookies, "I'm mainly worried that you will encounter big blue crabs. Big blue crabs weighing one or two catties are very common. If you get caught, you will definitely cry. They are not polite." .”

Speaking of this, Zhang Miao said, "Mom, otherwise you are picking scallops here, there seem to be a lot of scallops here."

Zhao Ling was a little strange and asked, "Can there be scallops here?"

"Yes!" Zhang Miao said as a matter of course, "I just felt something scratch my foot, and it was a scallop."

Having said this, Zhang Miao, who walked two steps quickly, bent down and picked up a scallop from the water, "Look, I think there is a scallop. Wait here, someone who is a little clearer should be able to see it."

Zhang Liye also nodded, and said, "Then you stay here, we will go to the shore to dig crab holes. Pick up the scallops, we will roast and steam them at night, and then we will have a bottle of wine."

"Garlic, I want minced garlic!" Zhang Miao commented, looking forward to it, "I think there are a lot of scallops here, and I stepped on a few just now. If I picked them all up, it would probably weigh more than ten catties."

Zhao Ling immediately scolded angrily, "You don't even bother to bend down to pick it up when you step on it? You don't like scallops?"

Zhang Miao smiled and said nothing. He really didn't think much of it, but he came here for a big crab with more economic value.

Xu Pengfei found it strange, and it was no surprise.For example, if Zhang Miao is lucky enough to step on a scallop, he can still feel it, which is a bit helpless.Wearing thick waders and stepping on the muddy ground, I couldn't feel that I stepped on a scallop or something.

Keep marching forward and strive to catch more catches, this is part of catching the sea.

Zhang Miao, who was walking, suddenly whispered, "Dad, don't go."

Standing still, in the turbid seawater, Zhang Miao walked forward cautiously holding the net.I also saw Zhang Miao carefully inserting the net into the water, full of nervousness.

Suddenly he lifted the net, and a swimming crab was struggling in the net at the moment, but it could not escape the catastrophe.

Zhang Miao, who was laughing, felt that the harvest was good, and he had a good start.As for the others, they didn't bother to say anything, mainly because Zhang Miao really had the ability to see big crabs that others couldn't see, or swimming crabs with strong swimming ability in the water.

A good start is more satisfying than just a swimming crab, which is not okay.

After landing on the shore, Zhang Liye immediately began to search, and soon found out.A crab hole, although it may be a little 'old', but Zhang Liye still has no intention of giving up.

Zhang Liye, who was bent and squatting down, stretched out his hand, and then quickly pulled it out, "Fortunately, there are crabs."

A beaming Zhang Liye put on his gloves and said, "Catch these crabs carefully. If the claws are missing or the legs are broken, the price will drop. Whole crabs are worth the money. Otherwise, they can only be discounted or eaten by themselves."

Holding a handheld camera, Xu Pengfei did his job as a photographer and continued to shoot. Digging for crabs was also quite interesting.

Zhang Miao curled her lips, the shore is not his stage, he still prefers to look for those crabs, small fish and shrimps in the water.It is better to give full play to one's own advantages and find one's own target in the muddy shallow water.

Zhang Miao, who was searching carefully, saw the target. A prawn seemed to be crawling on dead branches and leaves.Naturally, Zhang Miao would not miss it. This prawn is not bad in size.

The prawn obviously didn't think of this either, it was still crawling leisurely and leisurely.But suddenly a big net covered it, and it lost the chance to escape, and its fate was obvious.

Zhang Miao, who was grinning, nodded in satisfaction, and deliberately raised the volume, "This shrimp is not good, it's less than three taels."

Zhang Liye's son, who was lying on the ground, was in no mood to show off. He had already caught the crab's claw.With a strong drag, the powerful crab was pulled out of the hole.

Zhang Liye smiled happily, holding up the big crab and said, "It weighs three catties including the mud, and two catties after washing off the mud!"

This is a good start. This is a blue crab, a big blue crab with a relatively large head.

Zhang Miao stopped talking immediately, he lost the first round now.Although the trophies included a swimming crab and a prawn, the sum was not half as valuable as the blue crab.This lag is a bit large, so we need to work harder.

"Xiao Fei, you and Xiao Yuan are going to dig that crab hole." Zhang Liye continued to search for the crab hole with his two followers, and said after finding out, "There should be crabs in that crab hole, and the hole is full of new mud."

The dog legs Xu Pengfei and Li Haoyuan laughed immediately, "Thank you uncle."

Zhang Liye smiled, and continued to remind, "Don't follow me, first dig the hole a little, and see what's going on inside."

Having said this, Zhang Liye continued to walk forward, and he saw another crab hole.

Zhang Miao, who was holding the copy net, raised his eyebrows, and Zhang Miao, who was fighting alone, muttered in a low voice, "I am the protagonist, and I have made great discoveries!"
