Going to the sea: The whole sea has become my back garden

Chapter 2: First time going to the beach

"Sihai, follow me."

Aunt Mei said to Ye Sihai while putting on her gloves:

"It's high tide today and there are a lot of things. I'll find an octopus and cook it for you."

Ye Sihai had already put on his one-piece water shoes, hung his headlamp around his neck, and carried a bucket with one hand and a rake with one hand while wearing gloves.

He smiled energetically and said:

"Aunt Mei, I'll go by myself. I have a hunch that I can find something good today."

Aunt Mei smiled and nodded:

"Okay, you go ahead."

There are tides twice a day. There are fewer people coming in the morning, but there are many people coming in the evening, half of them are children.

Women will dig all kinds of small seafood on the beach.

Razor clams, clams, sea melon seeds, moon shells, cat's eye snails, etc.

Children like to go to the tidal flats to catch crabs and octopuses, or go to the beach puddles to fish.

The reef is close to the tide, and some people will dig up the oysters and small abalone on it, but it is more dangerous and children are generally not allowed to go there.

Ye Sihai carried the bucket to a puddle, where many young people were already digging.

This kind of seaside puddle is the most likely to hide dangerous goods. Under normal circumstances, experienced seamen will tie something with a fishing rod to test whether there is anything there.

If there is no response, it means there is nothing, so just switch to another pit.

Ye Sihai doesn't need any fishing rod.

He went straight into the puddle.

Heart of the Ocean activates.

The thoughts entered the water and spread out quickly.

His current thoughts can cover about one hundred square meters.

As soon as the thoughts entered, the originally turbid sea water immediately became transparent.

The various colorful creatures inside are clearly visible.

Ye Sihai could clearly see what was in the water under the control of his mind.

All the creatures seemed to be frightened by his thoughts and did not dare to move.

Ye Sihai couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The scope of his current thoughts is not large, but it is enough.

Even under the control of his mind, two moray eels over a foot long in the water actually swam towards him with their heads and tails wagging.

The moray eels began to circle around Ye Sihai's legs, seeming to be scared and seeking Ye Sihai's protection.

Following the control of his mind, some colorful fish and shrimps also swam towards him.

But soon, Ye Sihai felt his head swelling.

"My current mind control is still very weak, with a radius of about five meters. I can't last long."

"It's okay if it's just perception, but to control it, you must strengthen your mental training."

This is Ye Sihai's first time using the Heart of the Ocean.

That feeling is so amazing.

He calmly withdrew his thoughts, shook his head, and climbed up from the puddle.

There are some small fish and shrimps in here, but there is no clue.

Change to the next one!

The puddles after low tide are like opening a blind box. Sometimes you will find nothing after opening it all night.

Sometimes you can find goods worth thousands of dollars in just one puddle.

Everything is random.

There are also people who will make a nest before the tide comes in. They chop up all kinds of marine fish and throw them into the puddles to lure in the big fish. Once the tide recedes, they become the turtles in the urn.

Ye Sihai changed to three puddles in a row, but couldn't find anything.

He came to a bigger puddle.

This puddle is more than 200 square meters, and seven or eight young people about his age can dig deep in it.

Generally, experienced seamen will observe the surrounding rocks before going into the waterhole.

If the densely packed oysters on the rocks are all dead, there is basically nothing in the pit.

If the oysters on these rocks are alive or have just been pried, there is usually a harvest in this pit.

This is the same as making a nest.

On the rocks around this water hole, there are many signs of oysters being pried off, as well as some smashed oyster shells.

At this moment, there are still people using tools to pry oysters on the rocks. Obviously, there will be harvest in this puddle.

Ye Sihai was not in a hurry to get into the water, but came to a young man who was prying oysters.

"Ammo, how are you today?"

The young man named Amo glanced at him:

"Ye Sihai, don't take space from me, I will ask my sister to beat you up."

Ye Sihai smiled and looked at the other party's bucket. It was already filled with more than half of the bucket of oysters.

Oysters are the most common shellfish and there are endless harvests.

He simply sat down and put his hand into the water.

His thoughts entered the water again.

This time, he did not try to control the fish and shrimp in the water with his thoughts, but just released his thoughts.

There were indeed far more things in this puddle than the previous ones.

There are seven or eight sea fish weighing two to three kilograms alone, as well as several octopus weighing more than two kilograms, and many 50-centimeter moray eels.

It's just that this puddle is a bit big, and many people spent a long time digging for it but still didn't catch it.

These things are not Ye Sihai's cup of tea.

The purchase price of the conger eel was only thirty yuan, and those sea fish were even cheaper. Ye Sihai's bucket was too small, and it wouldn't even cost a thousand yuan if it was full.

His target today is blue crabs.

And it’s a blue crab.

The purchase price of a half-pound blue crab at the dock is 80 yuan, and a pound of blue crab is 150 yuan.

For blue crabs weighing more than two kilograms, the minimum price is RMB 200 per kilogram.

"Ah Mo, do you want to cooperate with me and help me carry the bucket? I can give you a share?"

Amo gave him a blank look.

Ye Sihai said in his heart that you would regret it.

"Okay, just slowly pry your oysters here, and I'll get the hard stuff."

As he said this, he stood up and put down the bucket, then put the clamp in one hand and the rake in the other into the water.

Amo almost laughed out loud and made a pig noise:

"Ye Sihai, are you stupid? What kind of rake are you going to get into the water?"

Ye Sihai smiled and said nothing, and walked towards a crevice in the reef not far away.

At this time, the tide receded a little.

Ye Sihai's mind had already discovered that a fierce creature was hiding deep in the crevices of this reef.

A blue crab at least fifteen centimeters in diameter.

By visual inspection it's at least a pound and a half.

It is the end of July and some of the blue crabs are unable to change their shells due to excessive oil accumulation. Therefore, these blue crabs are all yellow and are also called butter crabs.

The price of butter crab is three times or more than that of blue crab, and it is only available in July and August of the year.

This is a butter crab.

Ye Sihai was also a little excited.

The first time I went to sea, I got a good start.

This butter crab costs at least a thousand yuan.

Under the control of his mind, the clamp easily picked up the butter crab.

"Ah Mo, look what this is? Haha, butter crab, at least one and a half kilograms of butter crab."

The young Ah Mo opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.

Jealousy transformed him beyond recognition.

"Haha, I'm getting rich!"

Several other people in the puddle also stayed on the spot.

this……?

How can it be?

Why don't I have such good luck?

Ye Sihai happily pulled out a thin string from his trouser pocket, and then carefully tied the butter crab.

Condition is very important. Missing arms and legs can easily affect the price.

I bumped it with my hand, and it must have weighed one and a half kilograms.

Everyone gathered around:

"Is it butter crab?"

"Yes, this head is really big."

"Ye Sihai, you are so lucky, at least one thousand yuan."

Ye Sihai's good luck continued.

"Ye Sihai, did you get butter crab again?"

Someone was shouting from another puddle.

This voice seemed to have magic power, and the originally noisy seaside suddenly became quiet.

Everyone simply stopped rushing to the sea and joined in to watch the fun.

"Good guy, this head is bigger than the previous one."

"Ye Sihai, did you really step on dog poop when you went out?"

Ye Sihai didn't say anything, and moved to another puddle with the bucket.

Everyone followed.

A few minutes later, Ye Sihai used a tongs to pick out a butter crab from a crack in the reef.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They all make a living by the sea. Their families may not be poor, but they are not rich either. Many people rely on traveling to sea to support their families.

There is one trip in the morning and one trip in the evening. On average, I can earn two to three hundred yuan a day, which is pretty good.

As for things in the sea, everyone can do it according to his or her own abilities, and everything is fair and just.

Everyone doesn't know that Ye Sihai is a cheater.

Is this the nest where butter crabs were stabbed?

Before he could be shocked, Ye Sihai changed to another puddle.

Another butter crab.
