Li Changle and Chen Yongwei strode towards the rocks at the foot of the mountain and met many villagers returning from fishing.

I saw some beaming with joy and regretting that they had accidentally let go of the valuable seafood as they walked. Some sighed with envy and said that if I had known I had come, I didn’t even earn back the money to buy batteries, so I might as well sleep at home.

Li Changle took Chen Yongwei to the rock pile not far from the foot of the mountain, walked through the rock pile and entered the cave.

Chen Yongwei looked around and said, "Brother, is this the place you're talking about? We've been here in hide and seek before, and there's nothing in there!" "It's not here, put your things here, take off your clothes and pants and put them here. Just follow me."

"This is the rocky beach at the foot of the mountain. We have been digging here since we were children. We haven't seen any caves anywhere?"

"Just follow me. I dare say that the location of the cave is beyond your imagination even in your dreams." Li Changle turned to look at him proudly, "The last time I caught the rice fish and the giant flower dragon in the cave."

"Hey, dear, we don't want rice fish this time. If we can catch two big flower dragons, we will be satisfied." "The price of big flower dragons is much more expensive than rice fish. Aren't you greedy?"

"Hey! There's no one who doesn't want to find good stuff when they come out to hunt for goods!" "That's true!"

The two of them carried oilskin bags and left the cave one after another. They walked on the muddy beach and walked along the cliff for more than thirty meters. They stopped in front of the rock protruding from the cliff.

????????????

Li Changle pointed to the rock and said, "Go into the water from here. You follow me. After entering the water, I will swim up and you will go up. Whichever way I turn, you will follow me." "Don't worry, you know I'm holding my breath." "What a skill." Chen Yongwei said and also put on his headlamp, imitated him and took out a rope to tie up the bag and tied it to his waist. He took a deep breath and followed him into the water.

After entering the water, there were still fish swimming toward them. Chen Yongwei followed Li Changle to the right and upward. It seemed that two or three minutes had passed. Then he followed him to the surface and found that the two of them were in a cave.

He stared wide-eyed at the puddles in the cave, the jagged rocks, and the cave with no exit in sight.

"Hey! How did you discover this place? If you hadn't brought me here, you would have never dreamed that there is such a place under the mountain!" Li Changle glanced at him proudly, "The gods told me! "

"Bragging fun!" Chen Yongwei smiled and walked towards the cliff. When he saw the oysters on the cliff, he shouted excitedly, "My mother, there are really oysters, there are so many big ones!" Oysters, in some places they are called oysters. Some are called oysters!

Oyster meat is tender, delicious and nutritious, and is also known as "milk of the sea".

"Compendium of Materia Medica" says that "eating more oyster meat can refine the skin, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, cure deficiency, and relieve erysipelas." "I told you, the big ones are bigger than the soles of the feet, but the price is too high. It’s cheaper.”

Li Changle asked Zhou Ruonan that small oysters only cost two cents each, large ones cost five cents, and those that weigh more than half a catty only cost 1 dime. Although they are cheap, the advantage is that they are large in quantity and they can make a fortune, but his main goal is not oysters. , but the pearl inside.

In my previous life, pharmacies also sold oyster beads. Oyster beads could be sold for hundreds of yuan per penny. Most of them were bought for children to grind into powder to remove fetal toxins. The color is beautiful and the quality is excellent. It is said that one pearl can cost up to a thousand yuan.

"There's nothing you can do about it, who made these things so abundant!" Chen Yongwei said and shouted in surprise, "Brother, look, there are also Buddha's hand snails, and they are all big products!

"Really?" After hearing this, Li Changle hurriedly walked over and saw a lot of Buddha's hand snails growing in the stone crevices on the side of the cliff facing the water, as well as in the stone crevices where oysters grew. And these Buddha's hands The size of the snails is much larger than those high-quality snails sold for thousands of dollars per pound in later generations.

Bergamot snail is also called turtle foot, in some places it is called Guanyin palm, and in others it is called chicken foot or dog claw snail based on its peculiar appearance. It is yellow-green in color and looks like it is covered with a layer of scales from a distance.

Snails like to grow in clusters on the reefs and cliffs of islands or in dark caves. The better the water quality and the faster the tide, the bigger and fatter they will grow!

Because it grows in the crevices of cliffs and rocks, and its handle is very sensitive and stretchable, once it is touched by the outside world, it will shrink in the crevices, making it more difficult to dig.

Therefore, digging for bergamot snails is more dangerous than digging for other snails.

"Brother, these Buddha's hand snails are bigger than those on the island. When we pry them out, you can go and negotiate the price with Adong and see if you can sell them for 50 cents per catty?" "Such a big Buddha's hand snail only sells for 50 cents per catty." , you are too uninterested."

"Then how much do you want to sell per catty? You can't sell it for one piece, right?"

"If you don't say one piece, it should be no problem if you send it to Phoenix Restaurant and sell it for seventy-eight cents a pound." "How can they finish it with so much?"

"I didn't say once that I would pry them all out and sell them. Let's pry some out first and show them to Uncle Kun. If the price is good, we will pry some out every day and sell them to Phoenix Restaurant." "Brother, this is a good idea. When the time comes, Just like the chickens and ducks raised at home, eggs are harvested every day."

"There is a cave here. You must not reveal it. If anyone finds out, all the things inside will be wiped out in a day at most."

"I know." Chen Yongwei said, pointing to the puddle, "Brother, look there are blue crabs in it!"

Li Changle counted the time and said: "Let's go and touch the puddle first, and then we can pry the oyster's bergamot snails, weighing fifty or sixty kilograms, and go out and have a look."

"Oh!" Chen Yongwei took off the rope around his waist and went into the water to catch blue crabs.

Li Changle thought that there were many stone crevices in the cave, it was dark, and the water quality was very good. It could be said that it was the favorite environment for lobsters. There might even be giant flower dragons there. He raised his feet and walked towards the water hole inside.

The big flower dragon was not found, but at a glance he found a tiger man with yellow-brown markings all over its body. After being dazzled by the light of the headlight, it quickly escaped into the crevices of the rocks. As the name suggests, the tiger man is ferocious in nature and has great strength. It is large and inhabits the reefs on the seabed. It feeds on small fish, shrimps, octopus, etc. as its main food.

Even if it is injured, as long as there is something to attach to, as long as its tail is straightened out, its head is upright like a cobra, and its body is curled up into a ball, as if someone has deliberately tied it into a knot, which cannot be untied or straightened.

The skin of tiger eel is smooth, the meat is delicate and has few bone spurs, and the taste is fragrant and nutritious.

Li Changle carried the net into the water and saw small fish scurrying around in the puddle, and two black mites quickly swam into the crevices of the rocks.

"I'll deal with you later."

He muttered to himself and walked to the rock crevice and blocked the opening of the rock crevice with a net. When he lowered his head, he discovered that there were several oyster snails larger than Xiaozhou's fist adsorbed on the reef wall. Li Changle picked up the The pliers aimed at the tiger steamed bun and quickly clamped it down. The guy swung his tail and aimed at copying the net to swim in.

Looking at Human, who was about one meter and a half long in the net and the thickest part was thicker than his own arm, he grinned and said, "How dare you escape when you throw yourself into a trap!"

The tiger buns had been caught, and Li Changle began to break off the oysters and snails. After a few times, he found that the adhesion was quite tight, so he used some strength to break off one and put it on the reef.

After he broke off all the oysters and put them into a net bag, Chen Yongwei came over with the net bag in hand, "Brother, I caught two blue crabs and a tiger steamed bun weighing four or five kilograms."

Li Changle mentioned the net placed beside the reef and looked at him happily, "I also have one here, it weighs about six or seven kilograms."

"Hey, there's a black sea bream here." Before he finished speaking, Chen Yongwei had already carried the fishing net over.

"I saw two when I came down. Find them and fish them out." Li Changle left him netting the black sea bream and stepped into the last puddle.

Where the light shines, an eagle and pomfret and a group of small fish and shrimps quickly escape into the darkness.

The front end of the eagle pomfret's mouth is hook-shaped like an eagle, and the whole body is silvery white. It is also called "silver pomfret" and its price is higher than that of white pomfret.

The bones of eagle pomfret are soft and crispy, and the meat is tender. It is delicious whether fried, fried or steamed.

Li Changle chased after him with the net, and the pomfret quickly escaped to a crevice in a rock, lowered the net and opened the rock, "Damn it, it turns out you are still a traitor."

I saw seven or eight pieces of Shijiugong squeezed into the cracks of the small reef. The two big ones were about eight or nine taels, and the small ones were probably less than one tael.

The hard spines on the fins of Shi Jiu Gong were poisonous. To avoid being stabbed by them, Li Changle rolled up his gloves. He first picked up the eagle and pomfret and put them in the net, and then grabbed the two big Shi Jiu Gong as well.

Come on, little one, just leave it alone.

Li Changle felt that there should still be goods under the reef, so he simply hung the net on a stalactite and turned over the reef.

When we opened the first reef, we caught three large lobsters. This kind of lobster is also called red spine shrimp. It has a smooth and hard shell and looks similar to crayfish, but the color is brighter.

As soon as he caught the lobster and put it in the net bag, a tiger steamed bun suddenly jumped out from the crack on the side of the stone, which startled him. Fortunately, Ah Wei, who came over to find it, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stepped forward to pick up the tiger steamed bun and poured it into the bag. In the net pocket.

"Brother, I found two eagle pomfrets in the crevices of the rocks. They weighed two to three kilograms. I also caught some shrimps."

"I also caught one just now, and it weighed more than a kilogram." Li Changle picked up the net and net bag, "Let's go up and pry the oysters and Buddha's hand snails."

"Okay!"

The two went ashore and put three eels into a net bag, and fish, shrimp and oysters into a net bag. The main reason was that the tigers were too fierce and worried that the fish and shrimp would become their snacks.

Li Changle took out a special chisel and small hammer, and first pried it up from the bottom of the cliff. It was not easy to exert force while squatting half-crouched. If he was not careful, he would be scratched by the sharp oyster shell. It was more tiring than fishing in a puddle. Already.

After prying off a big oyster, when he was about to pry another one out to take a look, Chen Yongwei took an oyster and said to him happily:

"Brother, look, the one I pried off weighs more than a kilogram. It's only a dime a piece. It's really a bit of a loss."
