little fisherman catching the sea

Chapter 73

The water pump starts to work, and what needs to be done at this time is to wait patiently, which seems to be the most important thing.

Walking towards the reef area, the family of three prepared to look for conch shells during the pumping time.

As soon as he arrived at the beach, Zhang Miao was overjoyed and found a top-shaped conch, "Mom, is this a flat jade conch?"

"Navel snail." Zhao Ling looked at the flat jade snail in Zhang Miao's hand, nodded and said, "This snail is not cheap, so grab more. I guess it can be sold for more than ten yuan a catty, and I will look for it later."

Zhang Liye also said, "It's easy to find these conch shells. They like to crawl on the sand after landing. If you pay attention to the sand surface, there is basically a mark. You can find them by following these marks."

Cat's-eye snails like to drill into the sand after landing, and there will be small bulges on the sand surface.And these flat jade snails will leave 'footprints', so naturally they can follow the vine.For experienced sea catchers, many small details can allow them to find the catch they want, which is the embodiment of experience.

"You look for it on the shore, but I prefer to look for it in the sea." Zhang Miao said confidently, holding a bucket, "I'm going to catch more conch shells today, ten or twenty catties, and make a good fortune."

Zhang Liye and Zhao Ling didn't say much, mainly because they knew that the catch Zhang Miao found on the shore was really not as good as in the sea.Chatting in private, I also felt that Zhang Miao would be useless if he left the water.

Stepping on the sea water, Zhang Miao immediately made a discovery.

Cone snails, with slender and delicate shells, are close relatives to those freshwater snails.

However, cone snails and oncomelania are completely different things, they look very real, but cone snails have no parasites and have nothing to do with schistosomes.These cone snails are seafood, but the price is too cheap, you can buy a catty for three or five yuan.

Zhang Miao didn't plan to look for these conical snails, she simply didn't like them, they were too cheap, and they couldn't do time-consuming and labor-intensive things.

"What can we do?" Zhang Miao picked up a sea lion snail and said jokingly, "You are banned from selling it!"

Sea lion snails, also known as textured snails.This thing mainly lives in the sandy land near the sea and near the reefs, but these small snails are not poisonous themselves, but if the growth environment is not good, they may accumulate toxins, which can cause food poisoning, and the fatality rate is relatively high. The tall kind.

Forget it, Zhang Miao still believes in science, just throw it away.Zhang Miao can understand such things as risking his life to eat fugu, but he will not try.It's like he likes to watch some extreme sports videos, but let him try it himself, then forget it.

Angled snails, mud snails, fragrant snails, flower snails, etc., Zhang Miao is in a relatively happy mood. He is busy collecting money now.

Although there is sea water here, these sea snails also live underwater.But for Zhang Miao, it was even easier.

Normally, sea water can naturally block the line of sight.It's just that this kind of common sense doesn't work for Zhang Miao. The sea water can't protect and cover these creatures. Zhang Miao, who has a unique eye, can clearly see the underwater creatures at a glance.

Lice on the bald man's head, these creatures living in the sea have encountered a complete 'betrayal'.

You just need to see those conch shells and bend down to pick them up. It's that easy.

Walking along the coastline, Zhang Miao's line of sight is like a radar for marine life. Wherever his line of sight goes, those marine life can't hide.Under such circumstances, even though Zhang Miao seemed to be just skimming around, it seemed that he hadn't seriously searched for it at all.

But in fact, looking at the harvest in Zhang Miao's barrel, one can see that his work efficiency is very high.

"About more than 200 yuan." Holding the bucket, Zhang Miao couldn't help laughing, "A conch more than ten catties is not too little, and it's not too much. A little subsidy for the family is fine."

It took nearly an hour and a half to pick up about fifteen catties of conch, and Zhang Miao was quite satisfied, and the harvest was indeed not small.

There is no need to wait here anymore, Zhang Miao still has other work to do, and this is also the highlight.

The water in the pit must not have been pumped out, Zhang Miao knows this very well.But there is no need to wait until the complete water level disappears, as long as it doesn't particularly affect his actions, it is enough to affect the activities of those fish and shrimp.

Zhang Miao, who was walking towards the puddle, also began to observe carefully. The puddle, which was originally half an acre of land, now has a water surface area of ​​only about [-] square meters, which is naturally not too big.

And now these water levels are all low-lying areas near the dam, where the pumps are also working hard.

"Dad, let's come and catch fish!" Zhang Miao observed the puddle seriously, and then shouted loudly, "The water is almost pumped, we can come and catch fish."

Zhang Liye asked loudly, "The water is almost pumped? I just went over to check, and there is still a lot of water."

There is indeed some water, but this is no problem for Zhang Miao, he can directly start arresting work at such a water level, he feels that such a small impact will not hinder him, and even this is the most suitable job environment.

Making an excuse at random, Zhang Miao said, "I think the water level is very shallow, and the fish can't swim anymore. It's also raining heavily. Let's finish this earlier and go home earlier."

Zhang Liye and Zhao Ling also came over, and when they came, Zhang Miao, the nemesis of marine life, had already stepped down from the pit and started arresting decisively. He really didn't want to wait any longer, and there was no need to wait any longer. go down.

Zhang Miao, who was smiling like a thief, had one deep foot and one shallow foot. The mud at the bottom of the pit today is relatively thick, mainly because the soaking of the tide water made the soil at the bottom of the pit soft and squishy, ​​making it not as convenient to walk as yesterday.

Going straight to the center of the puddle, Zhang Miao decisively jumped into the muddy water.While the sea water was splashing, some small fish and shrimps struggled and fled in a panic in the shallow puddles.

And a big fish with a body length of nearly one meter was crushed by Zhang Miao. It was struggling hard, and its tail fin was also trying to beat the water surface, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi!" Zhang Miao, who didn't care about the dirty water on his face at all, raised his head and showed his big white teeth, "Tsing Yi fish is also good, I like pretty fish!"

The reason why this kind of fish is called 'Tsing Yi fish' is also because they are like maidservants in Tsing Yi, and they are brightly colored, and many people even regard them as ornamental fish.As for the scientific name, it is also called 'Shu's pigtooth fish' and wrasse, but this name is obviously not elegant.

Zhang Liye and Zhao Ling came to the edge of the pit, feeling amused, "What is this for?"

Raising her head, Zhang Miao was extremely proud, "Da Tsing Yi, one meter long! This fish is worth it, I'm really going to make a fortune today!"

"Really?" Zhao Ling was a little overjoyed, and quickly asked, "If it's more than one meter long, you're really going to get rich."

In fact, the price of Qingyi fish is not particularly expensive. The price of such fish is around [-].The price of live fish is slightly higher, but not too much.Zhang Miao thinks this fish is worth five or six hundred.

Zhang Miao stood up holding the big fish, and Zhang Liye also smiled, "This fish is worth a lot, and this trick is not for nothing!"

"Mom, you look around, I guess there are still crabs in the pit." Zhang Miao hugged the Qingyi fish ashore, and said with a smile, "The old man and I are responsible for catching fish in the water, and you catch crabs on the shore and so on. stand up."

Naturally, there is no problem with this arrangement. Now there is only a puddle of about [-] square meters left in this nearly one-acre pit.There are a lot of fish and shrimp gathered here now, but some crabs and the like may not necessarily gather here.

Zhao Ling started to look for crabs, and Zhang Miao, who was holding a copying net, started to move, and he caught the Balang fish.The six-banded trevally cannot escape the 'French Opening', and the trench trevally and its close relatives have the same fate.

In fact, Balang, Trevally, and Six-banded Trevally belong to the family Trevally, and they are all close relatives.

"Not even a single yellow croaker!" Wiping the rain on his face, Zhang Miao was a little dissatisfied, "I was thinking of catching some little yellow croakers!"

Zhang Liye threw the swimming crab into the bucket and said with a smile, "It's the same without the small yellow croakers. Today's pit draw is worth a lot. There are a lot of fish, big and small, and this pit adds up to more than one thousand goods."

This pit is really worth the money!
