Chapter 61 Picking up clams

"It's your turn to go into the sea!" Zhang Miao said to Xu Pengfei calmly, "Or, are you not going into the sea today?"

Xu Pengfei sighed and said, "Let's go to the sea to make some money first, and then go ashore after making money!"

Speaking of this, Xu Pengfei tied the net bag, and then carefully went into the sea.

"The water is a bit deep!" Xu Pengfei stepped on the bottom of the sea, and said with some emotion, "It's all chest high, so it's not easy to start work."

Zhang Miao smiled and said to Xu Pengfei, "The bottom of the rake is horizontally attached to the bottom of the sea. I don't need to teach you this?"

"No need." Xu Pengfei smiled and shook his head, quite confident, "It may be a little difficult and uncomfortable at first, but you can get used to it soon. Don't worry, I can handle it easily."

Since this is the case, Zhang Miao is relieved.Two business partners have gone to sea, and Zhang Miao will go to sea soon.

After turning off the engine, Zhang Miao threw the anchor into the sea and tied the net bag around his waist.Throw the rake into the sea first, and then carefully go into the sea.There is no problem with the depth of the water, and Zhang Miao feels that there is no need to care about it.

20 meters away, Li Haoyuan shook the rake slightly to wash away the sand.Picking up the rake, I am very satisfied to see the harvest between the rake tines.

"Five or six clams, and two Haibai." Li Haoyuan laughed and said proudly, "The price of Haibai is even more expensive!"

Zhang Miao responded loudly, "Then you should work harder and earn more money today."

Speaking of these, Zhang Miao was not idle.Gently extend the rake tines into the bottom of the sea, and push forward flatly.Then Wei Wei picked up the rake and shook it to wash away the sand between the rake teeth. Zhang Miao knew that he must have gained something this time.

Three or four clams, two sea whites, and one razor clam.Razor clams don't just hide in the sand. They usually dig holes in the soft mud to live, but occasionally they still have to go into the sea.

These harvests are picked up and placed in a net pocket tied at the waist.

Furthermore, Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei basically gambled blindly. They chose to believe in Zhang Miao, thinking that this water area must be rewarding.It's just that when they rake clams and stuff, they just put the rake in the sea.

If you are lucky, you will get a good harvest. If you are not lucky, you may only get gravel and sand.

But Zhang Miao is definitely not like this. He wants to catch clams efficiently.With her discerning eyes, every rake of Zhang Miao must be near the clams.If there are many clams here, he can harvest several clams at a time.If you're unlucky, you'll get one or two harvests at a time, and you'll only be able to gather sand into a tower.

"Flower snail!" Xu Pengfei was in a good mood, and smiled triumphantly, "Go back and cook!"

Zhang Miao didn't have the time or energy to deal with it, so she cautiously stretched the rake into the sea.Flat against the surface of the sea, gently push forward.Zhang Miao, who was engrossed, noticed that the swimming crab impatiently swam a little, and then stopped moving.

It's fine if you don't run, but you can't be careless now, Zhang Miao must not lose the chain at this critical moment.

Gently lift the rake slowly, the mouth of the rake is slightly tilted, which can be regarded as slightly preventing the swimming crab from escaping.Of course, Zhang Miao is also very clear that such an effort is just better than nothing, but what should be prepared must still be prepared.

The rake was about to come out of the water, Zhang Miao immediately picked up the rake.When Zhang Miao was triumphant, it was the turn of Portunus to panic.It's just that it was caught by Zhang Miao before it could escape.

"Three taels!" Zhang Miao smiled proudly, holding up the swimming crab and said, "Look at it all! Come and see it! This is called catching the sea!"

Li Haoyuan was envious and jealous, and felt incomprehensible, "I'm so stupid! We are catching clams here, but you can still catch crabs! This flower crab is so stupid, it is so easy to be caught!"

"That's right, I don't even know how to run!" Xu Pengfei also said sourly, "This swimming crab must be stupid. If you give it to me, I won't eat it. I'm afraid that eating it will affect my IQ!"

Zhang Miao was too lazy to talk to those guys who said grapes were sour when they couldn't eat grapes. The most important thing was to be satisfied with the catch.

To be honest, raking clams like this is repetitive labor, which has a certain technical content, but requires more patience and physical strength.Only in this way can we continue to persevere, and only in this way may there be some gains.

Xu Pengfei and Li Haoyuan were a little strange. They hadn't raked to the shore yet, but Zhang Miao had already started to go back and forth for the second time.If they hadn't noticed that Zhang Miao's harvest was good, they would have thought that Zhang Miao was just looking at the flowers on horseback, and was doing things so-so and perfunctorily.

Zhang Miao didn't care about the feelings of the two little friends, and aimed at a small area, and picked up these sea whites with precision.

Picking up Haibai and putting it into a net bag, Zhang Miao laughed, "Haibai is estimated to be close to 21 catties, and I should have two catties here. If you catch it again, today's harvest can still be guaranteed."

Dripping in chest-deep sea water, Zhang Miao picked up a few clams again, feeling quite satisfied.

When they came to the side of the boat, Zhang Miao, who was holding the side of the boat, poured the harvest from the net into the boat cabin, "You two have to work harder, we will go back in half an hour at most."

"This is too exaggerated!" Li Haoyuan was dissatisfied, and shouted, "We haven't gained much here yet, your pockets are full, this is too unreasonable!"

Zhang Miao showed a provocative smile, "I have the strength, hold back my dissatisfaction."

It's really not that Zhang Miao deliberately left a high-yield treasure land for himself. The main reason is that Zhang Miao can see the clams in the sea, so every rake is very targeted.

For Zhang Miao, this is "picking clams", but for Li Haoyuan and the others, this is raking clams. There is naturally a big difference.

"I should be lucky today." Xu Pengfei laughed, very happy, "I have a lot of white seaweed here, probably about a catty and a half. The clams are estimated to be six or seven catties, and the conch and razor clams are only two or three catties." look."

Li Haoyuan became even more uncomfortable, and said sourly, "God is blind, it's fine if he can't compare with Ah Shui, that's because he has the ability. But I can't even compare with Ah Fei, why are there clams here!"

There is no way around this, Li Haoyuan was the first to go into the sea, and he was also the first to reap the rewards.It's just that so far, his harvest is basically clams, which are relatively cheap.And Xu Pengfei's gains totaled more than one hundred.

As for Li Haoyuan, about ten catties of meretrix clams add up to 80 yuan.

Zhang Miao continued to pick up clams, and continued to improve her harvest, which was a satisfaction and happiness.

Three hours of work is considered high-intensity work.Zhang Miao felt that the backache was sore, but the main reason was the soreness of the arms. After all, raking conch was not an easy task.

Zhang Miao, who climbed into the boat, took a sip of water, then picked up the anchor, "Hurry up, you two, we're going back!"

Naturally, Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei would not refuse, and immediately dragged their weary steps slowly to the slightly deeper water.With one pull and one push, Li Haoyuan boarded the ship smoothly.Then two people pulled, and Xu Pengfei boarded the ship smoothly.

"No way!" Looking at Zhang Miao's gains, Li Haoyuan was dumbfounded, "I know you've gained a lot, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"Is there any reason for this?" Xu Pengfei was also dissatisfied and dumbfounded, "Our work attitude is more correct than yours, but the two of us together didn't gain as much as you!"

Zhang Miao laughed, a little smug, "Haibai is estimated to be less than five catties, and meretrix meretrix is ​​about fifteen catties. Add two or three catties of conch shells and two swimming crabs, and that's the harvest."

If Xu Pengfei and Li Haoyuan hadn't mastered the skill of driving a small wooden boat, they would definitely have kicked Zhang Miao into the sea.Some guys are really hateful, and their smug faces make people want to punch them.

Zhang Miao took a look at what Li Haoyuan and Xu Pengfei had gained, and said with a smile, "Come back in the afternoon and scan another piece?"

Xu Pengfei nodded and said, "It's not bad here, and the output is pretty good. Work harder today, my goal is [-] yuan!"

"I, two hundred and five!" Li Haoyuan sighed, and said, "The main reason is that I stretched my hips too much this morning, and they were all clams. I have a lot of things to catch, but they are worthless!"

Then there is no way, they are all seafood and molluscs, but there is indeed a certain gap between the prices of Haibai and Meretrix meretrix.

But generally speaking, this is still a good harvest, and it is something to be happy about.If we continue to work hard, today's harvest must be enviable. Such clams still have a bright future.

Wealth and wealth are not counted for the time being, but if you work hard, you can still consider solving the problem of food and clothing, and you can improve your life a little. This is also a good thing, and you should learn to be satisfied.
