Rebirth of a fishing village: starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 16 Small Miscellaneous Sea and Crabs



Zhao Dahai strode to the edge of the mangrove forest, checked that the tide had not receded, found a shady place to rest for a while, remembered Liu Bin just now, and sneered.

Is the mother-in-law at home brainless?

It's just Liu Bin's excuse!

He is not a three-year-old child. No matter whether he is married from another village or from this village, he cannot remember the land of any family wrongly. When you plant a tree, you want to occupy some land.

If it hadn't been for the battle with Sun Minghua a few days ago to get back the vegetable field behind the house, Liu Bin would not have told himself about it. If he couldn't get back his own vegetable field, he wouldn't be able to get back the land on this mountain either. Liu Bin would definitely say that it was him. My own land.

Liu Bin took the initiative to say that he was planting in the wrong land and gave him some face, so he didn't think much about it. If I don't talk about it today, it won't be so easy to talk about it when I go up the mountain and find out about it.

Zhao Dahai watched the sea water recede slowly. The water in the mangrove forest was less than half a meter deep, but the higher place on the side had been exposed.

Zhao Dahai had just entered the water, and the jumping fish jumped forward in groups, all rushing to the mangrove forest. When I came here last time, I found that there were a lot of jumping fish here. Today, I found more and thought about it. One day I really have to come here to catch these jumping fish, continue to move forward, and soon found a few good-sized hairy clams, this is a small black hairy shell with thin black shells, not really delicious , but, the taste is not bad, it is very good to have a meal from time to time, in just ten minutes, I picked up more than 20 cats, which weighed about two catties, went back to wash it, boiled it in water or picked out the meat and stir-fried it, and there was a dish .

"Huh?"

"Mantis shrimp?"

Zhao Dahai looked at a hole as big as two fingers in the mudflat not far from his feet. This is the hole dug by the mantis shrimp. The holes in such places range from half a meter deep to one meter deep. The sea mud on the beach is very sticky. It takes a long time to pull it out even if you use a hoe to suck it tightly. 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 one meter away. This is the hole dug by the same mantis shrimp. The two holes are connected, one in front and the other behind, so that they can escape easily when encountering natural enemies. Lift your foot, put it on a hole, step on it hard, and immediately a jet of water will come out from the other hole, lift your leg and then step down hard, repeating continuously, jet after jet of water rushes out After stepping on it seven or eight times, a mantis shrimp crawled out of the hole. The mantis shrimp is also called the mantis shrimp. It has sickle-like forelimbs and a tail that is as sharp and hard as a blade. When it encounters a threat and struggles, it will spring like a spring. When you are inexperienced in catching this thing, you may accidentally see blood. If you press it with your index finger, The back of the live mantis shrimp is directly pressed into the sea mud and does not move without struggling. The thumb and middle finger are one in front of the other. The whole mantis shrimp is folded and pinched. One finger is as long as two fingers and the beach can grow this size. It looks pretty good.

Zhao Dahai continued to move forward with one foot deep and one shallow. Hairy clam? not interested. The target now is mantis shrimp. The hairy clams are edible but the taste is really average, and the mantis shrimps are much better. On the tidal flat in front of the mangrove forest, there are not too many small seafood. In 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, they were dug up. A small octopus.

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.

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 blue crabs, he would dig them immediately. If not, he would give up and continue moving forward.

what happened?

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, about three or two. He was very disappointed, thinking about the past few days. Go into the mangroves more and catch more blue crabs to sell more money to repair fishing boats. Now it seems that I thought it was too simple. There were not as many green 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 grew densely and darkened faster.

One bird after another flew in circles and kept chirping. It was extremely lively.

Zhao Dahai stood up, turned on the flashlight, and went into the mangrove forest. He walked 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, he bent over and walked quickly.

"Aha."

"Amazai Crab."

Zhao Dahai caught the blue crab and took a closer look. He was very happy.

Blue crabs include different growth and maturity levels in different seasons and different growth stages, including butter crabs, meat crabs, water crabs, paste crabs, etc. In the initial stage of growth, blue crabs have less meat and more water. This is a water crab. It 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, which is paste. crab.

After the green crab stage, the green crab continues to grow and slowly matures. The female crab that can reproduce but has not yet reproduced is the crab, which is equivalent to the unmarried daughter of the yellow flower. 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. There was no need to pull the vines. He tied it carefully and put it into the 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.

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. Grasp.
