Chapter 72 Red wrinkled rock snail
Li Xuan took Chen Bin to the fishing boat.
The huge cobia in the barrel immediately caused Chen Bin to exclaim:
"Damn it, Brother Xuan, you are so awesome. I usually have to hide away from such a big cobia when I see it. Brother Xuan, how did you get it back?"
Li Xuan smiled slightly, most fishermen would really have to hide away when seeing such a big cobia.
Because those small offshore fishing boats do not have the ability to catch cobia. This fish is very cunning and swims very fast. It will swim away if there is any disturbance in the weather.
Since fishermen can't catch cobia, they naturally won't compete with cobia.
"I was just lucky. I almost lost my hands and feet and was almost run away by it." Li Xuan said with a smile.
Chen Bin licked his lips and said: "Brother Xuan, this fish tastes so good. Do you plan to sell it or keep it for yourself? If you want to keep it for yourself, sell me a few kilograms."
Li Xuan burst out laughing. Originally, he planned to keep the tenderest belly part of the fish to make dried fish and sell the remaining body parts for money.
Now that Chen Bin had spoken, Li Xuan took advantage of the situation and said: "This fish is not for sale. I plan to take it back and make it into dried fish. Then I will bring it to the boat and improve the food for everyone when we go to sea. If you like it, don't mention it.
If you don’t want to buy anything anymore, let’s cut off two kilograms and go back to eat.”
When Chen Bin heard this, his face immediately showed joy.
"No, I won't cut it anymore. It's better to make this fish into cured fish meat, which is more delicious. I'll eat it when I go to sea." Chen Bin waved his hands repeatedly.
Cobia is one of the rare marine fishes with a high oil content. When made into cured fish, it tastes much better than fresh ones. It is just like bacon, fat but not greasy, and has a very fragrant taste.
Then Chen Bin asked doubtfully: "Brother Xuan, this fish looks to be at least a hundred kilograms, and the whole fish can be sold for four to five thousand yuan. If you take such an expensive fish to the boat and give us extra meals, will your family agree?"
"
Li Xuan smiled. Two of his family of three were on the boat, so this was not a problem at all.
"When the time comes, won't it be enough if you caught this fish with me?" Li Xuan blinked.
"Uh." Chen Bin snorted and went to the pier to get a cart. "I'll deliver the fish to your home."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "That's okay, but I won't go back just yet. The water will recede soon. I'll go to the beach to have a look."
Affected by the movement of celestial bodies, the sea will rise every day, and the rising tide time is very regular. It will probably be delayed by a few minutes every day. After a few hours, the tide will recede again, leaving a large amount of seafood on the beach.
Chen Bin nodded and dragged the cart away. He had been to Li Xuan's house countless times and was familiar with Li Xuan's parents. It was not out of the ordinary for him to go alone.
Li Xuan walked to the edge of the beach and looked at the rolling sea water. He sighed inwardly. The tides ebb and flow, the sun and the moon change. Over countless years, this sea has fed countless of his ancestors. In the future, he will also rely on this sea.
Survive the sea.
"Brother Xuanzi."
Li Xuan looked back in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Tang Yuting passing by on her bicycle.
Li Xuan responded with a smile: "School is over?"
Tang Yuting nodded. She looked at the sea, then looked at Li Xuan, and chuckled: "Brother Xuanzi, why are you looking at the sea alone?"
"I just came back from the sea and saw that the tide was about to go out. I just waited here to see if there would be any seafood on the beach after the tide went out." Li Xuanxin said that he was really not alone, but half and half.
It's an octopus clone, currently in the sea.
Tang Yuting nodded slightly. She knew that many fishermen had the habit of rushing to sea after low tide.
"The temperature difference between day and night is very big at the beach. It will cool down here soon. You should go back first." Li Xuan urged.
Tang Yuting pushed her bicycle over, looked at Li Xuan and said, "I haven't crossed the sea at low tide for a long time, let's go together."
"That's...okay..."
Li Xuan originally wanted to say that Boss Tang would be angry if you didn't go home after school.
But seeing that Tang Yuting was in high spirits and looking forward to it, it was hard to spoil her mood directly.
Tang Yuting hung her schoolbag on the bicycle handle, then squatted down to untie her shoelaces, "Wait for me for a while, I will take off my shoes first."
Li Xuan took a glance and saw that she was wearing a pair of white flat-soled pull-back shoes. The uppers were very clean, and he knew that she was afraid that the sea water would stain the shoes.
Although the beach at Yulong Bay has not been developed, it is no longer a pristine beach. After generations of cleaning, the number of shells on the beach has been very small, leaving only snow-white and soft sea sand.
It is a truly pristine beach. Thousands of shells are densely scattered on the beach. Some of the shells are still broken. You cannot walk barefoot on the beach as it will cut your feet.
However, there is no industrial pollution in Yulong Bay, and the clean beach is very beautiful, without all kinds of annoying black oil stains.
"I'm fine." Tang Yuting was barefoot and rolled up her trousers and shouted to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan glanced at her. Like most people who grew up by the sea, her calves were very slender, but because they usually stayed at home or at school, they were fairer than ordinary people and looked very delicate.
"Let's go, it's almost time to ebb. Stay with me and don't go to the waves." Li Xuan said.
Tang Yuting didn't care, she ran straight to the sea, opened her arms and stepped on the waves, then turned back and shouted to Li Xuan: "The scenery here is so beautiful, the soft sea sand is so comfortable to step on, Brother Xuanzi, come here quickly."
"
Li Xuan walked over, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back from the sea, "No matter how comfortable you are, you must pay attention to safety. When the sea ebbs, it doesn't just recede with a splash. This is when the waves are the biggest. A
When big waves hit, the rocks may be swept directly to the ocean."
"It's okay, even if you get knocked down by the waves, just get up again." Tang Yuting retracted her hands, clasped her hands behind her back, and walked backwards in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled. People who grew up by the sea have been accustomed to seeing the vast sea and sky since childhood, and most of them have such a broad mind.
"Let's go, let's go for a walk on the beach first. When the sea water has completely subsided, it will be the best time to catch the sea... Huh." Li Xuan suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.
Tang Yuting quickly asked: "Brother Xuanzi, what's wrong?"
Li Xuan quickly took a few steps forward, stepped into the sea, then bent down and squatted down. When he stood up again, he already had a gray thing in his hand that was bigger than a rice bowl.
"What a big conch." Tang Yuting exclaimed when she saw it, and then quickly walked towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan also showed a smile on his face, "I didn't expect to be so lucky. The sea water has not yet receded, so I discovered such a large red wrinkled rock snail."
This is a conch with a shell as thick as a ball. The shell is light brown in color. There are many thin ribs on the shell. There are about six to eight layers of the shell. The shoulders are very obvious. There are obvious protrusions on the shoulders of each layer.
