Chapter 1505 Sea Melon Seeds

Most of the sand clams have no sand in their bodies.

In only a few cases, the dug clams contain sea sand.

And such sand clams only need to be raised in the water for one night.

The sand in the body will be spit out by them.

Use clams to make soup, or put some in when making noodles, which can play a very good role in improving freshness.

It is also one of the types of seafood that Niu Niu prefers to eat.

Regarding Niu Niu's taste, Ye Yuan, the uncle, was quite speechless.

Compared with clams, the meat of sand clams is more elastic.

In less than half an hour, the bucket in Ye Yuan's hand was already half filled with sand clams.

For such a gain.

Although the little girl's face was flushed red by the sea breeze, her overflowing smile could not be concealed.

The old saying that you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water has never deceived me.

Ye Yuan followed the little girl.

From time to time, the little girl put the sand clams dug up into the bucket.

Look at the little girl holding a shovel for cooking.

Looking for the hard-to-find blowholes on the beach.

Every time the shovel goes down, a sand clam will be dug out.

That’s Niuniu’s proficiency.

Even some adults may not be as efficient as she is.

"Niuniu is really amazing. She managed to dig out so much in such a short period of time. She is even better than my uncle."

Ye Yuan saw the little girl whose forehead was oozing with seawater, and he didn't forget to praise her a few times.

"This thing is very easy to dig. When I was a kid, I often went to the beach to dig for it!"

Niu Niu's words like a little adult made Ye Yuan feel bursts of heartache.

At the beginning, I knew that the elder sister wanted to increase the income of the family.

But I took my little girl, who was only 5 years old at the time, to get up early every day and go to the beach to catch the sea.

This is also the memory that Ye Yuan doesn't want to mention.

At that time, in order to support themselves in school, the whole family tightened their belts.

The results of it?After I graduated, I just found a job as a seabed cleaner on Blue Island.

If not for the space beads later.

Today, I am still messing around in Blue Island with an income of several thousand yuan a month.

Some people may say that a few thousand yuan is not low for a college student.

But it depends on where it is, okay?

In the seaside city of Blue Island.

If he could let go of his identity as a college student.

Find some tougher jobs.

It is not difficult to earn more than [-] yuan.

Just like Li Hui back then, didn't he work as a laborer at the dock to pay for Li's father's treatment?

Don't think that labor workers' income must be very low.

It is really not difficult for laborers on the dock to earn more than [-] yuan a month.

Of course, this refers to those who can endure hardships and stand hard work.

And picky laborers who only pick some light jobs are certainly not within this scope.

Unknowingly, one large and one small child walked out of the beach area along the coastline and came to the reef area.

Looking at the surrounding rocks, there are densely packed sea melon seeds on them, as well as some clam shells that have been played with the flesh off.

Why are there clams with only their shells left?

Of course, they were poached by the workers on the island.

It can be said that the workers working on Yuwan Island.

There is also a hidden benefit.

That is, during the rest time, you can enjoy catching up on the sea at the beach.

Because Yuwan Island is Ye Yuan’s private island.Therefore, the rewards of catching the sea on the island are much higher than those on the Pinghai side.

So some workers, during their lunch break every day, would come to this reef with buckets and tools to dig out some clams to take home.

Ye Yuan certainly wouldn't care about such a situation.

But even so, sea melon seeds can still be seen everywhere on the rocks.

The scientific name of the so-called sea melon seeds is Xunshi muscle clam.

It is a small shellfish of the genus Mytilus in the family Mytilidae.

The shell length of the clam is usually between 2-3 cm, and the shell height is one centimeter.

The shell is thin and crisp, with a yellow-brown or green-brown shell on the surface.

There are purple-brown wavy patterns under the shell skin, and the inner surface of the shell is gray-white with pearl luster.

The back is the most obvious, so it is easy to identify.

The clam shell and meat of Xun's muscle can be used as medicine. It is slightly salty and cool in nature. It has the effects of clearing away heat, resolving phlegm and softening hardness.

The clam meat of Xunshi clam can be eaten fresh, or can be shelled and dried.

Each kilogram of clam meat of Xunshi clam is equivalent to 2 times the fertilizer effect of ammonium polyphosphate.

It is an economical and efficient agricultural fertilizer in coastal areas.

The clam can also be used as bait for poultry, livestock, fish and shrimp.

In recent years, with the improvement of human living standards, some seafood barbecues have sprung up in the mainland.

Therefore, sea melon seeds were previously only used as fertilizer and feed.

Currently, sales prices in the mainland are also rising again and again.

Ye Yuan even heard that someone started cultivating sea melon seeds.

This puzzled Ye Yuan, who had grown up by the sea since childhood.

This thing can be said to be the most common on the beach, but we still want to farm it?

After all, it is a country with many foodies, and everything can be eaten.

in the perception of mainlanders.

The so-called catching the sea, to put it bluntly, is to pick up some sea creatures that were stranded on the beach due to low tide.

But compared to the beach, these fishermen near the sea like to come to the reef area to catch the sea.

Because not only can you harvest some shellfish here, too.

Occasionally, we will harvest some marine fish that have not had time to recede with the sea water.

And some of these marine fish are often the kind of marine products that are extremely economical.

This is also the main reason why some people go to sea to support their children.

If going to sea is really just about picking up low-value shellfish, then the fishermen really won't be so active.

It is precisely because of the harvest with higher economic value that so many fishermen get up early and go to the beach to catch the sea during low tide.

Especially here on Yuwan Island, there is no one to compete with them for the resources in these puddles.

So in just a short while, the uncle and nephew found ten stone crabs and six or seven jumping fish.

The best harvest is the nine-segment shrimp that is as thick as Niu Niu’s arm.

"Uncle! Uncle, come here quickly, I found a big fish!"

Just as Ye Yuan was checking his harvest.

He heard Niu Niu not far away standing on a big rock waving her little hand towards him.

And at some point, Tank and Duke, who were following him, also started yelling at him.

Ye Yuan ignored what caused the two dogs to run over.

After all, on the island, the two dogs are used to being invisible.

Except for that lazy guy Dahuang, Tank and Duke often run around all over the island.

So Ye Yuan didn't feel strange at all when they appeared here.

Come to the stone where Niuniu is standing.

Ye Yuan was surprised to find that there was a fish tail with black and gray spots exposed under the big stone.

"Hey! Is that okay, little guy?"

Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to catch this 'big fish' discovered by the little girl.

Instead, he first helped the little girl tidy up the sweat that had stuck to her forehead.
