Yan Yan lay down on the beach and picked up a bunch of clams, and then she became a little absent-minded. She was still holding the clams in her hand, but her heart had already flown to the seaside.
A few Ming people holding bamboo clips happened to pass by, and she immediately cheered up, "Grandma, I want to go catch crabs!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the three young men stopped moving. They all looked at Old Mrs. Shu eagerly, with the word "desire" clearly written on their faces.
Mrs. Shu had no choice but to hand the rake to her daughter-in-law, who was digging clams in front of her, and told the little ones: "Let's go to the waterside and take a look. You four should follow me and don't run around."
"Okay!" Yan Yan cheered, picked up the basket and ran away. However, the basket full of clams was so heavy that she almost fell down.
The same goes for the three young men. How can they run with the heavy bamboo basket in their hands?
Old Mrs. Shu had expected this to happen, so she pulled out the linen bag placed under the bamboo basket, "Hurry up and bring the basket over, put the clams into the bag and go."
After pouring the clams, Mrs. Shu called Shu Mingli to carry everyone's first harvest home, and then she led the children to the shallow water area with ease.
After taking a few steps forward, Qingsong made a new discovery, "Grandma, there is something here, I don't know what it is!"
"I know, this is a cat's eye snail!"
Yan Yan quickly picked up the cat's-eye snail lying in the sand, grabbed the thick snail meat and squeezed it hard.
"Bah", the snail meat filled with sea water is like a small watering can, spraying out many small water jets at once.
Yan Yan wiped away the sea water sprayed on her face and giggled, "Look, the snail flesh has shrunk back!"
"This is fun, more fun than digging clams!"
Wang Qingbai clapped his hands excitedly and began to look around for the cat's eye snail.
"Look here, there are traces of cat's eye snails crawling on this piece of sand. If you follow this line and look for it, you will definitely find it."
Xiaotuanzi kept walking forward with her waist bent, and soon found an oversized cat's eye snail at the end of the trace, which was so big that she couldn't hold it with her fat paws!
The three young men looked at her with admiration, "Wow, how come you know everything?"
Yan Yan grinned, "It popped out of my head on its own, and I don't know why."
Mrs. Shu guessed that all this might have something to do with the old fairy, but Xiaotuanzi was too young to figure it out.
Thinking of this, the old lady lowered her face and criticized the three young men, "Just pick up your snails. Why do you ask so many questions?"
As soon as the grandmother spoke, the three little ones immediately picked up the message and obediently followed Yan Yan to find the cat's eye snail.
She found one and pinched each one. The more water filled her face, the louder the laughter became. Listening to the uninterrupted cheerful laughter, Mrs. Shu was afraid that they would burst from laughter.
Soon, their eyes were attracted by other things.
"There is a monster with many legs here! Come and see!" Qing Feng was so excited that he even screamed.
Yan Yan walked over and took a look, "It's an octopus. There's an octopus lying on the sand!"
As he was talking, he saw the long legs of the octopus arching and arching, and soon all the legs were arched into the sand, leaving only its round head exposed.
"I'm in, I'm really in!"
The three young men shouted excitedly, and Mrs. Shu stretched her neck to watch with great interest.
It was so fun to catch the sea. No wonder Xiaotuanzi would read it in her ear every day, which made her ears get calloused.
After a while, the octopus's head was buried in the sand. From the outside, only a small bulge remained. Unless you look carefully, you can't find the octopus hiding there.
"I understand!" Qing Feng screamed, "Is it true that as long as you find the small bulge, you can dig out the octopus?"
"That's not necessarily true. There are many things that can get into the sand!" Yan Yan was about to show off her little knowledge about catching the sea when another scream came from her ears.
This time it was Qingbai who called out: "There are so many little flowers there, look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and indeed there were many blue-gray cuties popping up on the beach.
The roots of the little cutie were buried in the sand, revealing a little head covered with tentacles. The translucent little tentacles swayed gently with the water waves, one on top of another, like beautiful little sunflowers.
Yan Yan explained: "This is an anemone. It is very delicious. It can be used to make tofu soup, stew pork ribs, stir-fry, and suck..."
As he talked, he poured out his saliva.
Qingbai couldn't help it anymore, so she ran over, put her hands together and pounced forward. Unexpectedly, as soon as her fingers touched the sea anemone, it spurted out a stream of sea water and quickly shrank under the sand.
"Why can it still run?" Qingbai was dumbfounded.
"People are animals, so of course they can run away. You need to use a shovel to dig them out, and you have to move fast. If you go slower, they will run away."
After saying that, Qing Feng quickly handed over his small shovel, "You dig one, and I'll take a look."
Yan Yan took the shovel, used all her strength, and shoveled it at a large sea anemone. However, before she could pull out the shovel, the anemone had disappeared.
"Ah, ran away..."
Xiaotuanzi scratched his head in embarrassment.
Mrs. Shu laughed and said, "I'll do it."
The veteran came out with one horse to beat two.
Mrs. Shu swung the big shovel and poked out a sea anemone with a few wheezes.
The sea anemone emerged from the sand and quickly retracted, leaving only a small ball of its originally huge body, with a small round ball at its thin root, and tentacles that were not completely retracted, making it look like a garlic head.
"Wow, it can also spray water, so awesome!"
Qingfeng continued to scream. Since reaching the beach, the child has become a whistler and the screams have not stopped.
Xiaotuanzi plugged her ears and moved aside, picked a smaller sea anemone, picked up the shovel and continued digging. She couldn't believe that she couldn't dig out one!
When the little sea anemone was disturbed, it really wanted to shrink into the sand, but Yan Yan was not a vegetarian, so she waved her arms to increase her power.
I dug and dug, and when I was almost done, I grabbed the root of the sea anemone and pulled it up suddenly, and the anemone broke...
It's better than nothing. If you can dig out an anemone head, it's great.
Xiaotuanzi comforted himself like this.
Seeing that she had gained something, the three young men couldn't help but take action. Those who had a shovel used a shovel, and those who didn't just started digging.
After several consecutive failures, everyone gained something.
The small ones are like a competition. Every time you dig one out, you have to lift it up to show off. If you dig out a big one, you have to scream a few times, hoping to tell the world.
On the other side, Old Man Shu and a few Ming were turning over rocks in the reef pit, looking at beautiful orchid crabs, plump swimming crabs, and arrogant blue crabs...
The crabs in this season are quite plump, almost as big as a palm, and from time to time you can encounter an extra-large crab weighing more than a pound.
The number, variety, and size are so dazzling that people can’t stop being amazed.
This was the first time Old Man Shu and others saw this scene. At first they couldn't hold back their curiosity. When they encountered a kind of crab they had never seen before, they took it to the side and asked the locals what it was called, but later they stopped asking.
No matter what kind of crabs they are, the ones that are big and meaty are good crabs, and they all come into my basket!
