Zhao Dahai strode to the edge of the mangrove. Seeing that the tide had not receded, he found a shady place to rest for a while. Thinking of Liu Bin just now, he sneered.
The mother-in-law at home has no brains?
It’s just Liu Bin’s excuse!
It’s not like a three-year-old child. No matter whether he is married from another village or from this village, he can’t remember which family’s land is wrong. When he planted trees, he just wanted to occupy the land.
If he hadn't fought with Sun Minghua a few days ago to get the vegetable plot behind the house, Liu Bin would not have told him this. If he couldn't get his vegetable plot back, he couldn't get the land on the mountain back either. Liu Bin would definitely say that it was his
My own land.
Liu Bin took the initiative to say that he had planted the seeds in the wrong land, which gave him some face and didn't worry about it too much. If he didn't talk about it today, it would be hard to talk about it when he went up the mountain and discovered this one day.
Zhao Dahai watched the sea water recede slowly. The water in the mangrove was less than half a meter deep, but the higher areas on the edge were exposed. He had nothing to do, so he just made a meal.
Zhao Dahai had just entered the water, and the jumping fish were jumping forward in groups, all rushing towards the mangroves. When he came here last time, he found that there were a lot of jumping fish here. Today, he found more, and he was thinking about it.
One day I really have to come here to catch these jumping fish. I continued walking forward and soon found a few nice-sized hairy clams. They are small, thin, black hairy clams with thin black shells on their shells. They are not very delicious.
, but the taste is not bad. It is good to have a meal from time to time. In just ten minutes, I picked up more than 20 of them, about two pounds. I went back and washed them, boiled them or removed the meat and stir-fried. I had a plate of dishes.
.
"Huh?"
"Mantis shrimp?"
Zhao Dahai looked at a two-finger-sized hole in the mudflat not far from his feet. This was a hole dug by the mantis shrimp. The holes in places like this are at least half a meter deep and can be as deep as one meter. The sea mud on the beach is very thick.
It's sticky. Not to mention using your hands, even using a hoe is very laborious. Once you put the hoe down and suck it tightly, it takes a long time to pull it out. However, there is another way, which can be caught without much effort. Zhao Dahai searched around and found another hole of the same size about a meter away. This was a hole dug by the same mantis shrimp. The two holes were connected, one behind the other, making it easier to escape when encountering natural enemies.
Lift your leg, put it on one hole, and step down hard. A stream of water spurts out of the other hole like a fountain. Raise your leg and then press down hard again. Repeat this time and again, and water jets rush out one after another.
After stepping on it seven or eight times in succession, a mantis shrimp probed its head and crawled out of the hole. The mantis shrimp is also called a mantis shrimp. It has sickle-like forelimbs and a tail that is sharp and hard like a blade. It springs when it encounters a threat and struggles.
It was the same. I had no experience in catching this thing. I accidentally saw blood. I pressed the back of the mantis shrimp with my index finger and pressed it directly into the sea mud without struggling. I moved my thumb and middle finger in tandem and moved the whole head of the mantis shrimp.
The tail is folded and pinched. It is about the size of one finger and two fingers long. It is quite acceptable for the tidal flats on the shore to look like this.
Zhao Dahai kept walking forward with one foot deep and one shallow. Hairy clams? Not interested. The current target is mantis shrimp. Hairy clams are edible but the taste is really average, and mantis shrimps are much better. The tidal flat in front of the mangrove, small
I don’t want too much seafood. Within half an hour, I got seven or eight mantis shrimps of about the same size. I moved a few stones and four stone crabs fell into the net bag. Unexpectedly, I dug out a small octopus. p>
Zhao Dahai looked at the mesh bag in his hand and laughed. In such a short time, he had caught a lot of things. He tied them up with a knot and went back to cook them. It would be enough for himself and his grandma Zhong Cuihua to have a full meal. p>
Zhao Dahai saw that the tide in the mangrove had receded and the ground was exposed. The time was just right, so he immediately got in. He came here today not for this small seafood but blue crabs.
Zhao Dahai quickened his pace. He had walked around in the mangroves a lot when he was a child, and he was very familiar with it. In just twenty minutes, he found another trench that was about the same size as yesterday. He didn't bother to rest, and went down the trench to swim.
Shui walked forward quickly, searching left and right with his eyes. When he saw a hole, he stopped and looked carefully to see if there were blue crabs. If there were any, dig them out immediately. If not, give up and keep going.
What's going on?
Are there so few blue crabs?
Zhao Dahai frowned. In two hours, this was already the fourth ditch in front of him. He only dug out one blue crab and it was not big. It looked like three or two. He was very disappointed. Thinking about the past few days,
Go more into the mangroves to catch more blue crabs and sell them to make more money to repair fishing boats. Now it seems that it is too simple to think. There are not as many blue crabs in the mangroves as I thought. The last harvest was an accident.
Zhao Dahai found a drier place, pulled some grass, and sat down on a cushion. There were no green crabs in several small ditches. There was no point in continuing to search. It was a waste of effort. He took a rest and saw if he could find it after dark.
Blue crabs were found in the mangroves.
The sun sets in the west.
The light is getting weaker and weaker. The mangroves grow densely and get darker faster.
One bird after another flew in circles, chirping non-stop. It was extremely lively.
Zhao Dahai stood up, turned on the flashlight, and went into the mangrove forest. He walked for two to three hundred meters with no results. When he was thinking about whether to give up and go home, he saw a blue crab crawling towards a dead fish.
Shining the flashlight, I bent over and walked quickly over.
"Aha."
"Amazai Crab."
Zhao Dahai caught the blue crab and took a closer look and was very happy.
Blue crabs have different growth maturity levels in different seasons and different growth stages, including butter crabs, meat crabs, water crabs and paste crabs, etc. In the initial growth stage of green crabs, there is not much meat and more water. This is
The water crab has no meat but is fresh and sweet. It continues to grow, and the meat is firm and becomes a meat crab. It continues to grow and has paste, and it becomes a paste crab.
After the green crab stage, the blue crab continues to grow and slowly matures. The female crab that can reproduce but has not yet reproduced is the uncooked crab, which is equivalent to the unmarried yellow flower girl. The whole crab is full of fat, even like half of it.
Quicksand texture, at the same time, the skin is soft and the meat is tender and sweet.
Zhao Dahai prepared the rope in advance this time, so there was no need to pull the vines. He tied it carefully and put it into a mesh bag. He turned on the flashlight and continued to move forward. When luck came, he couldn't stop it. After all the effort of the boss, he only found one.
Only blue crabs. I caught five blue crabs in just one hour at night. Although they are not big in size, they all look like six or seven taels, but they are all young crabs. The price is comparable to one and a half kilograms of old blue crabs.<
/p>
Zhao Dahai continued to walk forward and had a good harvest. After a while, his fatigue disappeared. In another two hours, the tide began to rise. Now is the prime time. Blue crabs are coming out to look for food. You have to seize the time and get as many as possible.
