Zhao Dahai carried a mesh bag in his left hand and a mesh bag in his right hand. He bent over and walked out. The sea began to rise, and the soft soil in the mangroves was bubbling with water. Every time he stepped on it, his calf sank directly. It was very strenuous and sweaty.
The money kept flowing like no money. I don’t know how long it took, but I emerged from the mangrove forest and saw a wide open space in front of me. The familiar coast suddenly appeared in front of me. The sea breeze blew over and I couldn’t help but take a few strong breaths.
Zhao Dahai washed his hands and feet with sea water, especially the mangrove sap that stuck to his face. In order to seize the time, he got out before the sea water rose. He walked very fast, and the branches and leaves of the mangroves were thrown directly on his body and face. He stretched out his hand and tilted his hand.
I caught two fiddler crabs from under my clothes. I fell into them while walking through the mangroves and didn't bother to catch them. Now I threw them to the ground without any courtesy and stepped on them with my big foot to take revenge.
Zhao Dahai took a rest and walked to the edge of a mangrove forest. Before entering, for the sake of convenience, he found a stone in the net bag containing mantis shrimps and clams and pressed it on the top of a hidden tree.
You won’t find it unless you look carefully. Generally speaking, even if you actually see it, you will know that it belongs to the owner, it is not a valuable thing, and no one will take it randomly.
Zhao Dahai shined the flashlight a few times and looked for the place. Just as he was about to walk over, he found something lying on the mesh bag. He was startled and looked at it carefully. His heart immediately started beating wildly. A
A huge blue crab is lying on the net bag, waving its two pincers, and is chewing on the small octopus in the net bag.
Zhao Dahai didn't dare to walk quickly or use force, for fear of causing splashes, so he carefully and slowly touched the back of the blue crab, stretched out his hand to hold it and pinched it.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"No way?"
"Is there such a thing in the world?"
"Today I really can't stop my luck."
Zhao Dahai was very happy. He went into the mangroves during the day and dug out only one blue crab in the afternoon. But starting from dark, all the blue crabs in the mangroves came out like crazy. His hands cramped when he picked them up. Now the tide has risen and he is ready to go back.
, taking the net bag that I put in the morning, who would have thought that I would come across a big blue crab. It was almost a pound and a half in size, and this one could only be sold for 150 yuan.
Zhao Dahai washed the blue crabs in sea water, lifted them up, and took the rope to tie them up.
"No, right?"
"Butter crab?"
Zhao Dahai's eyes widened. Most blue crabs are usually dark blue, but the one in his hand was dark yellow. He picked up the flashlight and looked at it carefully, especially the tips on both sides of the blue crab and the last tip of the claws.
The more I watched it, the more excited I became. I watched it three times in succession, and I was 100% sure that I had read it correctly.
Butter crab is a type of blue crab. The blue crab is covered with paste. Under certain conditions, it will become a special blue crab. The quality is far superior to ordinary blue crabs. The whole crab looks like it has been soaked in paste.
Orange, no one knows why such a change occurs. It may be that when the green crab is covered with cream, it "melts" under the high temperature of the sun and penetrates into all parts of the whole crab, or for other reasons. Butter crab meat is as tender as jade.
, the ointment is rich and sweet, the best among blue crabs.
Zhao Dahai took the rope and tied it carefully. A pound and a half of blue crabs can be sold for about 150 yuan, and the same size can be sold for 400 to 500 yuan. In this way, a butter crab is almost worth the price.
I caught more than 20 kilograms of crab and tiger fish a few days ago.
The small pier in front of the village.
A few lights were on, and it was very dim.
The dozens or twenty fishing boats docked kept rocking with the waves.
Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu squatted, holding cigarettes in their mouths, puffing away, puffs of smoke puffed out, their brows furrowed tightly, their faces a little unsightly.
"Hey!"
"What the hell!"
"How can we go to sea in this weather?!"
Liu Bin looked at the sea. It was calm an hour ago, but now there are small waves one after another. Don't look at it now. It's not big now. In a few hours, there will be one or two meters. After dinner, he came to the fishing boat to pack up and prepare for tomorrow morning.
Going to sea, now I can only stare.
"What else can be done?!"
"The weather forecast says there will be winds of level 7 or 8."
Zhong Shizhu shook his head. In this kind of weather, it is definitely not possible to go to sea. In the next three to five days, you may even have to stay at home for a week, unable to do anything. People who go fishing will lose their income if they cannot go to sea.
, sit back and eat nothing.
Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu saw someone walking over with a flashlight. After waiting for a while, they saw that it was Zhao Shi.
"Uncle Zhao."
"Why are you here?!"
Liu Bin said hello, and suddenly thought of Zhao Dahai he had met in the afternoon, and the trees he had planted. He would have to go to the mountain tomorrow to dig out those trees.
"When the wind rises, the sky changes."
"I can't sit still at home."
"Come out and take a look."
Zhao Shi shined his flashlight on the sea surface and saw waves one after another. He sighed. They were white-headed waves. In this kind of weather, the whole village of fishing people had to stay at home. The fishing boats were too small to carry them.
There is no difference between going to sea and dying.
"Ah?"
"Is there a person there?"
Zhong Shizhu shouted and pointed forward.
Zhao Shi and Liu Bin turned around and saw that there was light on the beach towards the mangroves to the west of the village. They looked like fireflies swaying from a distance. They were walking with a flashlight.
Who?
Zhao Shi, Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu were a little curious. They saw that they were coming back from the mangrove forest, and they didn't know who they were.
Zhao Dahai held a flashlight in one hand to illuminate the road, and held a pole in the other hand to carry blue crabs. He felt so happy that he felt as sweet as drinking honey.
"Second Grandpa."
"Are you here for the first time?"
Zhao Dahai walked to the small pier in front of the village and saw Zhao Shi. Next to him were Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin. The three of them were looking at him with wide eyes.
"Hey!"
"The sea."
"What are you doing?"
"What's in the mesh bag? It looks like blue crabs?"
Liu Bin stood up suddenly and stared at the mesh bag Zhao Dahai carried on the pole. The light was dim, so he couldn't see clearly, but he should have seen it correctly.
"Ah?"
“So many blue crabs!”
Zhong Shizhu was startled. He didn't pay attention at first, but Liu Bin took a closer look at this statement. It was really a blue crab. Two net bag poles were carrying blue crabs, which weighed dozens of kilograms. He couldn't see the size clearly.
At first glance, you can't get away with tens of dollars per pound, so Zhao Dahai will make a lot of money now.
Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded.
"The sea."
"I just passed by, and your grandma Zhong Cuihua was waiting at the door."
"Go back quickly!"
Zhao Shi shouted, turned around and left.
Zhao Dahai smiled at Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin, picked up green crabs and followed Zhao Shi back to the village.
"What the hell!"
"How can there be so many blue crabs in the mangroves?"
Liu Bin watched Zhao Dahai turn a corner and couldn't even see the light of the flashlight.
"Who knows what's going on?"
Zhong Shizhu shook his head. Zhao Dahai was carrying blue crabs on a pole just now. It was too scary. Everyone in the village knew that there were blue crabs in Hongcunlin, but no one thought there were so many.
"You can't let others know about this."
Liu Bin looked at the mangroves in the distance.
"Who says it's not?"
"As long as the two of us know."
Zhong Shizhu nodded. There were blue crabs in the mangroves, and there were a lot of them. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai wouldn't have been able to get such a harvest. The question is whether there are any now. Under the dim light, he turned to look at the area at the east end.
Reef, I remembered what happened to the crab and tiger fish a few days ago.
