Chapter 93 Didn’t you expect it? The octopus came to the beach!
Zhong Cuihua walked about ten meters along the beach, smiled and told Zhao Dahai that she could add another dish tonight.
Zhao Dahai looked around. It was not the time of low tide. The waves were lapping at the beach. He couldn't do anything like catching crabs and snails. There were holes for sand horses on the beach. It was not impossible to dig them with bare hands, but it was too laborious and not worth doing.
And Shama can make porridge, but it’s not a serious dish.
"Grandma."
"You don't want to go to the reef in front to see if you can get something to eat, do you?"
Zhao Dahai pointed to the reef at the end of the beach. He caught a lot of big crabs and tiger fish and a red spot there, and made a lot of money. There were a lot of small oysters growing on the reef, and he could find some snails.
It's not difficult to find a meal.
Zhong Cuihua didn't say anything. She walked a few steps forward, lowered her waist, dug a few times on the beach, and caught an octopus as big as a fist.
"Ah?"
"No way?"
Zhao Dahai's eyes widened. It was like a magic trick. He never knew that octopus could be dug out on the beach.
Zhong Cuihua handed the octopus to Zhao Dahai, and continued to walk forward for another five or six meters. She bent down and dug a few times on the beach, and dug out another octopus of about the same size.
"Grandma!"
"Why didn't you tell me this good thing earlier? You can come here every day to dig it out!"
Zhao Dahai's eyes almost popped out. One after another, there were so many octopuses on the sofa. He didn't have to do anything. He could dig them here every day. It was impossible to get rich. Raising a family was not difficult at all. It was comparable to going out to fish.
Much stronger.
"Ha!"
"What are you thinking about?"
"This kind of octopus comes up with the tide. Do you think I am the only one who knows about this in our village? If there are really so many of them, wouldn't there be hundreds and dozens of people coming every day? They only exist for a period of time. After that, they will disappear. Damn it."
It’s okay to earn dozens of dollars from a meal or from selling it.”
Zhong Cuihua patted the sand on her hands. There were octopuses on the beach, but not many. It just happened to happen to them today. She thought about how it was impossible to make money from this.
Zhao Dahai followed Zhong Cuihua and looked behind him for a while, and saw the way.
The beach looks nothing special, but if you look more carefully, you will find that when the waves come up and then recede, there will be a mark left in some places. The color is slightly darker than other places, and it is a bit concave. I didn’t pay special attention to it, or even squat down to look at it.
cannot be seen.
Zhao Dahai walked in front of Zhong Cuihua, half-crouched and stared wide-eyed. A wave of waves came ashore and then returned to the sea. A mark was exposed a few meters away. He immediately walked over quickly and reached out to dig five or six times.
, dug out an octopus. The size is the same as the one dug before.
"Ha!"
"Grandma!"
"Found it! Found it!"
Zhao Dahai was very happy. The octopus kept crawling in his hand, and its long claws wrapped around his hand. He walked back to his fishing boat, took a net bag, filled the five octopuses he caught, and continued along the way.
I walked forward along the beach and walked a few hundred meters to the reef at the end. I caught a total of twelve fish, which weighed almost three kilograms. But when I walked back, I looked again and found none. This time it was really hard.
I gave up hope. There were indeed octopuses on the beach, but not many. I thought it would be impossible to make money by digging them up every three to five days.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua walked around the beach and went home to make a luxurious dinner. They cooked all the octopus they had just dug. After putting the rice in and cooking the rice, they washed the wok and boiled a pot of water over a high fire.
, briefly wash the octopus and put it in whole. It will turn red immediately. Take ten seconds to take it out and drain the water. I didn’t see much of it when it was alive. Once it is cooked, put it in a basin.
Zhao Dahai carried the big basin to the main room and put it on the table.
"Ha!"
"Grandma!"
"Tonight is all thanks to you!"
Zhao Dahai picked up a steaming octopus and put it into Zhong Cuihua's bowl. Just now he was just thinking about going outside for a walk, which would be good for his health. He didn't think about making a delicious meal without any effort.
Fresh octopus does not require any complicated cooking methods. In the fishing villages on the seaside, it is boiled directly with boiling water. When it is cooked, take it out, drain the water, and dip it in some soy sauce. The best way to eat it is to eat it directly without adding anything.<
/p>
Zhao Dahai put the whole octopus into his mouth and bit it gently. It made a snap sound. It was as crisp as cartilage and broke with one bite. A sweet taste filled the whole mouth. After two bites, one of them was already swallowed. It had just been cooked.
When I came out, it was very hot and I kept breathing.
"Slow down. Slow down."
"How can a twenty-year-old guy still act like he was a kid?"
Zhong Cuihua said as she picked one up with chopsticks and put it into Zhao Dahai's bowl.
"Grandma."
"I can just clip it myself."
……
"Okay!"
"Eat more if you like."
"That's enough."
……
After dinner, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua were busy with their own things. One continued to weave fishing nets, and the other went to the back of the house to take care of the vegetable patch. As long as they were willing to work, there would be endless things to do from the time they opened their eyes until they went to bed every day.<
/p>
Just after six o'clock in the morning.
Only half of the sun's red face was exposed in the horizon.
The town was already very lively, with people coming and going, and it was a bit busy. There were too many people, and a small truck slowed down.
Ding Lishan was sitting in the passenger seat, and the person driving the car was the person he hired to pull the goods. There was another person sitting in the back row who was working with him.
"Hey!"
"Sister-in-law!"
Ding Lishan saw Zhang Li riding a tricycle with two large buckets full of live fish in the breeding water. He knew that he was going to Liu Gang's restaurant to sell fish, so he opened the car window and shouted. p>
"Ah?"
"Where are you going this morning?"
Zhang Li looked at the small truck. It must be a diesel or gasoline engine being sold for delivery and installation.
"Go to Langtou Village."
"That's right."
"When you came to my store a few days ago, didn't there happen to be a young man buying diesel engines?"
"The one who's about 1.8 meters tall."
Ding Lishan remembered that Zhang Li happened to be in his store that day.
"Ah?"
"Zhao Dahai?"
"Didn't you already buy one? Why buy another one now?"
Zhang Li blurted out.
"That's right."
"Sister-in-law."
"You have such a good memory. I just said this person's name once and you remembered it."
……
"This guy named Zhao Dahai wanted to buy two diesel engines from the beginning, but he didn't have enough money, so he only bought one."
"I went to the store yesterday and ordered another one. It looks like I made money fishing."
……
"I have to hurry up and rush over."
"I made an appointment to be there for installation before nine o'clock, so I can't be late."
……
Zhang Li looked at Ding Lishan's minivan driving forward. A diesel engine costs at least several thousand yuan. The last time Zhao Dahai bought a diesel engine was only a few days ago. He can earn so much money in such a short time.
Are you? Are you lucky? Or are you a master of fishing?
Zhang Li was thinking about it while pedaling the tricycle forward. Her mind was buzzing. She couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai made money so quickly. He made five or six thousand in a few days.
