Lei Dayou was stunned. He just looked at the mesh bag carried on Zhao Dahai's shoulder, which contained dozens of kilograms of blue crabs.
"Where did you catch it!?"
"How can there be so many blue crabs near the village?"
"The mangrove one?"
Lei Dayou remembered that his mother-in-law had said that Zhao Dahai had picked up a lot of very large mud snails and sea melon seeds. There were a lot of sea melon seeds and mud snails on the beach near the village. Although they seemed worthless, people dug them out from time to time.
Larger, fewer people enter the mangroves and fewer people are caught, so they can grow bigger.
"What are you doing?"
"No more work!?"
"Are you ready to drink from the northwest wind?"
Ma Hongyu was carrying another fishing net, sweating profusely. When she saw Lei Dayou standing motionless on the roadside, a rush of anger rushed to her forehead. She had gone out half an hour ago and should have reached the fishing boat at the small pier.<
/p>
When Lei Dayou saw it was Ma Hongyu, he immediately told Zhao Dahai about dozens of kilograms of blue crabs.
Ma Hongyu was dumbfounded.
How many pounds of blue crabs?
Isn’t this worth a thousand or a few hundred yuan?
"Mangrove."
"It must have been caught in the mangrove!"
Ma Hongyu immediately remembered the mud snails and sea melon seeds that she saw Zhao Dahai drying a few days ago. He must have gone into the mangroves to catch blue crabs. The mud snails and sea melon seeds were taken out to dry. The blue crabs were placed at home, but she didn't see them.<
/p>
"What are you doing so loudly?!"
"What should I do if others hear it?!"
Lei Dayong glared at Ma Hongyu.
"Hey!"
"The other day I asked where there were such big mud snails and sea melon seeds, and Zhao Dahai said mangroves. Why didn't you tell me there were blue crabs?!"
Ma Hongyu stamped her foot vigorously, feeling angry and anxious. If she had known about it a few days earlier, she would have entered the mangrove forest.
"Humph!"
"Zhao Dahai is not a fool. How could he tell you that there are many blue crabs in the mangroves?"
"Don't you know that it's better to make a fortune silently?!"
Lei Dayou shook his head. So what if they are from the same village? Could it be that the money he earned from fishing at sea was given to Zhao Dahai? How could Zhao Dahai tell him where there were blue crabs? No.
I got up relatively early today and happened to meet him. It was impossible to know that Zhao Dahai had caught so many blue crabs.
"What should I do?"
Ma Hongyu is a little anxious.
It is not easy to make money in the fishing village. It is a good income for Lei Da to go out to sea and earn two or three hundred a day. At home, he weaves and mends fishing nets from morning to night, which makes up to fifty or eighty for the day. A few dozen kilograms of blue crabs can
Selling it for hundreds or even a thousand yuan is not a small amount of money.
What to do?
Does this even need to be said?
Lei Dayou raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a bit gloomy. The wind today was lighter than the previous two days, but he couldn't go out to sea. There were no fish when he went out to sea. On a windy day, there were very few fish in the sea. After counting, he found that
The tide will recede in an hour or so. I originally planned to tidy up the fishing nets and clean the fishing boats to see if the weather will be suitable for fishing tomorrow. Now I just go to the mangroves to catch blue crabs.
How could Ma Hongyu object? She followed Lei Dayou with her fishing net, strode towards the pier in front of the village, got on the fishing boat, and immediately found two net bags as soon as the fishing net was put away, washed it in the sea water, straightened up, and found Lei Dayou
Dayou is looking ahead.
"What happened?"
Ma Hongyu asked as she followed her line of sight and saw Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin.
"I always feel like something is not quite right."
"What are these two doing here?"
Lei Dayou frowned.
"What could be wrong? There has been strong wind these days, but now the wind has calmed down a lot. Pack your things and go fishing at any time."
"Isn't that what we are like?"
Ma Hongyu suppressed her voice.
Lei Dayou didn't know what to say, but he always felt that something was not right, so he shouted hello, and sat on the boat while arranging the fishing nets and waiting for the tide to go out.
Zhong Shizhu wiped his face and it felt wet. The wind did subside, but it did not stop. From time to time, it blew up a mist of water. In the past half an hour, after a while, a lot of seawater was stained on his face, and his clothes were all wet.
A little wet.
"Why did Lei Dayou come here at this time? What are you doing here?!"
Zhong Shizhu lowered his head and looked at the mesh bag and small hoe at his feet. A few days ago, he and Liu Bin saw Zhao Dahai catch dozens of kilograms of blue crabs. They originally planned to enter the mangroves the next day, but there was a strong wind.
, The wind has calmed down today, and when the tide comes down, I bump into Liu Bin as soon as I come here, and I know that I have the same idea. I can’t help it. When Zhao Dahai returned to the pier carrying blue crabs, both himself and Liu Bin saw it.
, what I didn’t expect was that in less than an hour the tide would ebb, and Lei Dayong and Ma Hongyu would arrive.
"What's the point?"
"Didn't you see the two of them carrying fishing nets? They must have wanted to arrange the fishing nets as soon as possible and wait for the wind to calm down to go fishing."
Liu Bin disagreed.
"I saw two of us entering the mangrove forest. What should I do?!"
Zhong Shizhu frowned. He was the only one here at the pier. After a while, he took hoes and net bags into the mangroves. Fools all knew they were digging for blue crabs. If they followed, more people would get a share of the pie.<
/p>
"This can't happen, right?!"
Liu Bin was a little dumbfounded.
"Who knows if I will get it?!"
"If I had known, we wouldn't have waited here at the pier. We could have gone directly to the edge of the mangroves and waited for the low tide."
Zhong Shizhu regretted it a little.
"Hey!"
"It's only around five o'clock in the morning. No one goes fishing in this kind of weather. Who would have thought that Lei Dayou and Ma Hongyu would come here so early?!"
Liu Bin took out a cigarette, lit one and took a few puffs. It was too late to say anything now.
The sky is getting brighter.
The sea water recedes slowly.
The stones at the bottom of the small pier are beginning to be exposed.
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin looked at each other. Lei Dayou and Ma Hongyu did not leave. They could not wait any longer. They had no choice but to leave the fishing boat and get to the dock with their net bags and hoes.
"What are you two doing??"
"Are you digging blue crabs?!"
Lei Dayou's heart skipped a beat. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin were holding mesh bags and hoes in their hands.
Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin looked a bit ugly. They were both from the same village. They couldn't deny it in front of their faces, so they could only nod.
"Go, go, go!"
"Let's go together."
Lei Dayong and Ma Hongyu carried mesh bags and hoes and went to the pier.
"Why are you thinking about going to the mangroves to dig for blue crabs?"
……
"Hehehe!"
"Just as I was picking up fishing nets, I met Zhao Dahai selling blue crabs."
"Good guy."
"There are dozens of kilograms in the two mesh bags."
……
"Hey!"
"This happened a few days ago. If it hadn't been windy, the two of us would have gone to the mangroves long ago."
……
"Since when are there so many blue crabs in the mangroves?! Didn't Zhao Dahai catch a lot of crabs and tiger fish a few days ago? Now he has caught so many blue crabs. What kind of luck is this."
……
Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, Lei Dayou and Ma Hongyu walked toward the mangroves while chatting, their pace getting faster and faster. They wished they could fly over and catch blue crabs one after another.
