Chapter 7 Catch the sea at the beach of Datang

It's not completely bright yet, but the village is already filled with smoke.

Some bankers who depended on Yaliao Villa for their livelihood had already finished their breakfast early and went out to farm for the landlord's family.

There are also some fishermen, old people, women and children who go to the beach to catch the sea.

The tides on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are the best for catching the sea.

After the low tide, the sea water recedes, and there are always various little surprises hidden in the exposed tidal flats and rocks.

There are all kinds of crabs, conches, clams, starfish, etc. If you are lucky, you can also harvest some good-looking sea fish.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were not very interested in shellfish, but they were very interested in sea fish.

Because the Tang Dynasty's special dish "fish dumplings" is very suitable for using sea fish.Marine fish have far fewer parasites than inland fish.

As for shelled seafood, such as clams, you still have to bend down and dig holes. The harvest is not necessarily large, but it consumes a lot of energy. The gain outweighs the loss, so people generally don't dig them.

In modern times, when you are full, you go to the sea to play. If you can get something, you will earn it. There is no hope of going to the sea to fill your stomach.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was different from modern times. When you were hungry and looking for food, you had to calculate whether the food you found was enough to offset the energy consumed.

After Su Qingqing washed up, she took a net bag from the Tian family's woodshed and followed the sound to the beach.

She hasn't crossed the sea yet, and although her face is cold, her heart is moved when she hears Zhang talking about crossing the sea.

There is a beautiful white sand beach not far outside the village, and there are already many people there.

But more people have not yet started to take action. They just sit in front of their homes, chatting with their neighbors next door, weaving fishing nets, or weaving with the door wide open.

The tide at this time has not yet reached its lowest point, so it is not the most suitable time to catch the sea. It will be best after another hour.

Su Qingqing walked across the village road, attracting countless appraising glances.

When she entered the village yesterday, it already caused a wave of discussion.

Although she was in a miserable state as if she had fallen into the water, the texture of her clothes and her snow-white neck and face still made people curious about her. This was not an appearance that would appear in such a remote place.

None of the women or children of farmers and fishermen have white skin.Even if they are fair and tender when they are born, they will turn dark after exposure to wind and sun, and they do not have the conditions to be pampered.

And their small village is close to the sea, and the sea breeze blows day and night, making it even more impossible to get white.

So when Su Qingqing, who had skin as cold as snow, appeared in this small fishing village, she naturally attracted attention.

But having said that, even if the person who came was not the beautiful Su Qingqing, but just an ordinary outsider, it would still attract onlookers.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and there was no frequent communication between villages. No strangers entered the village all year round.

Occasionally, when relatives come to their home, everyone will come to see them. Sometimes when it's time for dinner, they will even stand in the yard of the family's house while eating, holding a bowl and watching.

Su Qingqing didn't care about the strange looks from around her.

As a traffic star who once stood in the spotlight and was criticized by others, she has a strong heart. This kind of scrutiny is nothing.

If she had not been mentally tough, she would have committed suicide hundreds of times in cyber violence.

When she came to the beach, Su Qingqing took off her shoes and socks, tied the skirts on both sides into a knot, exposing a section of her snow-white calves, then stepped barefoot on the beach and walked towards the sea.

As soon as her feet were submerged in the sea water, the water god's energy reappeared.

She felt a surge of energy all over, feeling unprecedentedly comfortable.

What was happening in the shallows around her suddenly became clear to her mind.She was only in a daze for a moment, and when she woke up again, she found that there were several people around her, including the young man who was rushing to sea, and the Zhang family.

"Sister Su, are you here to catch the sea too? Have you ever been to the sea before?"

Zhang asked her while driving away the group of "worker bees" that were circling around the "queen bee".

The girls from all over the country here are all rough-looking because of being exposed to the sun, rain, and working all day long.

The appearance of a beautiful woman like Su Qingqing with tender skin and tender flesh naturally attracts this group of young men in the countryside who are in the period of choosing a mate.

This is the innate desire of human beings in order to reproduce and survive, and it does not change based on their own conditions.

Su Qingqing didn't care about these warm and flattering glances. As a former top female and the nation's first love chosen by netizens, she had seen a lot of them.

There are tens of thousands of people who call her "wife" every day, but when something goes wrong, they all turn into keyboard warriors who spit out sweet things and make bad words to her. The most vicious ones are often those who lose their followers and turn back to dislike her.

She completely ignored the group of young men and only replied to Mrs. Zhang: "No."

After saying this, she suddenly leaned down and easily caught a fish from the water with a light red body, smooth skin, and blue stars all over its body!

This is a seven-star spot in excellent condition!I estimate it weighs three or four pounds!
When Su Qingqing caught the fish with her bare hands, Zhang and all the young men who were paying attention were shocked and stunned!
What luck!

Seven-star spots generally live in waters 100 meters deep, and are not easy to see on shoals.

A seven-star spot weighing three to four kilograms can be exchanged for three to four hundred pennies, or even more, if taken to the town or Yaliao Villa!

Although the purchasing power of today's money is much lower than that of the Zhenguan period in the early Tang Dynasty, it is also incomparable with that of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and inflation was severe.

But even so, this fish is already the income that an ordinary man in his prime can earn by working hard for four or five days in the city. How can onlookers not envy him?

The reason why she could catch fish so easily was not because of Su Qingqing's quick eyesight or her skill in catching fish, but simply because the water god energy she released in the water seemed to have a fatal attraction to aquatic creatures.

Su Qingqing could feel the closeness of the seven-star spot near her to her, as if she was willing to become her meal, and actually swam to the ravine on the beach here.

Just like a devout believer offering sacrifices to the gods.

This feeling is difficult to describe in detail. Anyway, it is magical. It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

"Sister Su, if you put the fish in the fish trap in this bucket, you will die."

Mrs. Zhang handed over her wooden bucket and asked Su Qingqing to install the seven-star spot.

The harvest of small shrimps and clams that were originally stored in her wooden bucket was put into the net bag that Su Qingqing brought over.

Su Qingqing thanked him and took the bucket and continued to catch the sea.

She seemed to be just wandering aimlessly on the beach, but in fact the water god energy was wandering in the sea.

As long as you don't deliberately use the water god's energy to control the water flow and the movements of fish and shrimp, the energy consumed can be ignored.

With the water god energy entering the sea, it is like throwing the bait of Shiquan Dabu Pills to the fish and shrimps, they will automatically be sent to the door in a daze.

In a short time, Su Qingqing had already touched two octopus as big as a big peach, three large blue crabs, dozens of crabs and small white shrimps, as well as countless small conches and spicy snails. , spin snails, and dig a lot of clams and oysters, it’s a full harvest!

The richness of offshore fishery resources in the late Tang Dynasty is unimaginable to future generations.

Of course, Su Qingqing's rush to the sea also carries a cheating device, which cannot be judged by common sense.

Not to mention modern fishermen, the fishermen of the Tang Dynasty have never seen such a big harvest from rushing to sea!
As the saying goes, "If you catch fish and shrimps, your whole family will starve to death." It means that it is impossible to survive by chasing the sea.
