Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin did not lie. He had not gone to sea for nearly a month since he returned from his last fishing competition.

He was worried that he would not adapt to life at sea, or that he would become lazy on the shore.

There is another reason, that is, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the eldest sister will come back. He plans to find an island to pick up some snails, oysters, etc., which is what the eldest sister likes.

Of course, it would be a waste to just go out and pick up snails.

So he made a cool move, which was to buy two more baskets of hook lines from the system, and in the evening he found several people for help.

The eldest brother, Lao Luo, including Lao Luo's younger brother, and Lao Mao, who had just finished work and had not yet returned home, helped with the longline fishing.

"Aqin, how about I go with you tomorrow." Lao Mao felt that his boss was so idle that he actually took off his pants and farted.

I have a boat at home, and longline fishing is also readily available, so why not use my own boat?

It's just a matter of asking someone to borrow a boat, but they actually have to make rows of hooks freshly.

"Brother Cat, after all, the four sets of hooks on the boat are missing. Once these two sets are ready, I will go out and open them tomorrow, and then put them on the boat for you to use."

After hearing what he said, Lao Mao naturally had no objection.

In fact, Zhao Qin did not know that there were not four groups of longlines on the boat, but ten groups.

Laomao and others also felt that only four sets of row hooks were too few for a trip, so they spent their own money to buy six more sets.

However, after going to sea several times, what surprised them was that the harvest of the newly purchased six sets of hooks was sometimes not as good as that of one of the four sets. This was amazing.

After comparison, I didn't find any difference between the line hooks. Of course, luck is what matters at sea, so no one really tried to figure out the reason.

With more people and greater strength, the sub-threads and hooks were quickly prepared. All that was needed was to tie them to the main line. This is easier to do.

The eldest brother and Lao Mao finished it in half an hour and tied the buoys at both ends.

In the evening, Zhao Qin went to the town's purchasing station and bought a few kilograms of white shrimp to use as bait.

"Brother, what do you want to bring tomorrow?"

"I'm just going out for a day. There's no need for grandma to prepare anything. We can just buy two buckets of instant noodles and take them with us."

"Then I'll prepare."

As Ah He said, he planned to drive to the town. Zhao Qin said angrily: "What, did Lao Zhu offend you?"

Ah He smiled awkwardly, put the car keys back home, and ran to the canteen.

Because the wharf is under construction, the business of the canteen is much better than before. Even Lao Peng's noodle stall has now been reopened by his younger brother.

I added a few more stir-fry dishes and made a lot of money. I heard that I could sell more than ten boxes of beer in one day.

……

Early in the morning, Zhao Qin and Ah He pushed the cart to the village pier, loaded up the things and cranked up the machine to go out to sea.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the edge of Xiago Island. The terrain on Lobster Island is too steep and there's not much to offer."

Ah He seemed to think of something again, "How about we go to the cave island and take a look at the bird's nest. It's been almost a year."

"Ahe, I collected that bird's nest some time ago, but I didn't tell you and my eldest brother." He would not hide this from Ahe.

"Oh, forget it after picking it up." Ah He didn't have too complicated thoughts.

On the one hand, it stems from his trust in Zhao Qin. On the other hand, unlike the past, he really doesn't care too much about the money he sells for bird's nests.

The two first picked a place to put down the two rows of hooks.

After not doing it for a long time, Zhao Qin found that he was a bit unskilled in baiting, and Ah He was about the same, and his efficiency was much slower than last year.

With 100 hooks, the two of them worked for more than an hour before going into the sea.

"Brother, I see you brought a fishing rod. Are we not going to fish today?"

"No rush, let's go to Xiangu Island now. The tide is just low. When the tide rises after noon, we will find a place to fish."

Although neither of them care about their current net worth, they are fishermen after all, and when they go to sea, they have to work hard.

Ah He drove the boat while Zhao Qin started making breakfast.

It's very simple. Boil the water in the pot, break two eggs into it, wait until the eggs are almost cooked, then put in the instant noodles and seasonings, turn off the induction cooker and simmer for a while.

After eating, the boat also approached Xiago Island.

The weather was good today, and I saw a similar boat docked in the distance.

"Brother, someone is also rushing to the sea."

"It's okay. They are them and we are us. Besides, our main purpose today is to crack oysters and pick up some snails."

The island was very flat, including the terrain on the island. Zhao Qin and Ah He walked around to the back.

Just drive the boat to the beach and beach it. Anyway, the tide is low now. When the tide comes in, the boat will naturally be able to sail.

One person carried a bucket, a sand shovel, and a pickaxe for cracking oysters, and the two of them wandered onto the island.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I remember that there seems to be a reef area to the west. Let's go there."

When I got to the place, I took a look at the situation on the rocks and said, "Brother, it's not bad. There are a lot of spicy snails. Hey, there are also mussels, which are quite big. Do we want them?"

"As long as it's edible, I'll pick it up."

The two began to work. Zhao Qin focused on oysters, which was the eldest sister's favorite. He would weigh two or three kilograms first.

After knocking on a piece of rock, he turned around and found a small puddle next to it, with reflective white stuff coming out of it.

Out of curiosity, he walked closer and said, "Ah He, I actually encountered something good."

Ah He took a closer look and said in surprise: "There are also blood clams."

The so-called blood clam, whose scientific name is mud clam, is similar in shape to clams, but is fuller, and its shell has several grooves, is tooth-shaped, and is light gray or white in color.

It is called blood clam because the flesh inside the shell is blood red.

This thing is not uncommon in the local area, but it is normal to pick up a few while rushing to the sea, but it is more difficult to find enough for a meal.

If you buy it, the farmed ones are not expensive, more than ten yuan per pound, but the wild ones cost at least thirty yuan and upwards.

Zhao Qin didn't do anything. Ah He had already filtered the small puddle and found about forty or fifty pieces, which should weigh more than two kilograms.

"Not bad, enough for a meal."

"Go on, you are responsible for picking up the snails, and I will knock the oysters."

The two started working again.

In June here, the temperature is still very high, but fortunately the wind on the sea is still very cool.

Ah He has also learned to be smart. Like Zhao Qin, no matter how hot it is, he can still cover himself tightly enough.

After two hours, Zhao Qin felt that the oysters should be enough, so he took some of Ah He's oysters and said, "I'll take them to the ship and put them in the refrigerator first. If it's too hot, they'll spoil."

"Brother, how about I go?"

"Okay, you stay here and continue looking for snails."

When Zhao Qin came around from the boat, he found that there were three more people beside Ahe, who seemed to be chatting about something.

He hurriedly came closer.

"Brother, friends from other places came here to play. The boat we saw before was hired by this big brother."

The three of them should be a family, a man, a woman and a child.

None of the family took any sun protection measures. The man was probably in his thirties. He smiled and said, "I'm not bothering you, are I?"

He was an educated man. This was the first impression of Zhao Qin. His face was very elegant.

"It's okay. Why don't you go back at noon? The ultraviolet rays at the beach are very strong."

Zhao Qin looked at the child's red little face, hesitated for a moment, then took off his hat and put it on the child's head, "The skin is tender, and it will peel after two hours in the sun."

Seeing him doing this, Ah He also took off his hat and handed it to the woman, "Sister, if you don't mind, put it on to block the sun."

I will try my best to update stably the day after tomorrow.
