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

The taste of the fried clams is actually quite good, the meat is crispy and extremely sweet.

The method is also very simple. Put the washed scallops into hot water of about 70 degrees and scald them for more than ten seconds. Take them out without waiting for the water to boil.

Adjust a little sauce according to your preference, then pour it in and mix it. Especially in summer, it can play a very good role in relieving the heat.

It's just that this thing is too difficult to do, and it takes too much time to do it. Even though there are many rocks on the reef, Zhao Qin still has no intention of doing it.

He straightened up, glanced at the water surface, and saw that it was receding visibly. He said to Ah He and his eldest brother, "Stop burying your head in the work. Follow the water level and go down. You'll have plenty of time to pick up snails."

Only then did the two people realize that some marine products would follow the water and retreat into the water again if they were not discovered in time.

For example, crabs or octopuses, and some snails can also run very fast. Scallops look stationary, but once they start swimming, people cannot catch up.

Zhao Qin stayed a little away from the water, and tried to choose a flat and sandy place. After all, he had a little girl with him. If he went to the mudflats, the little girl would probably be in trouble.

"Ayuan, come here and take your sister."

Seeing that A Yuan was carrying a snakeskin bag that was so heavy that his waist was deformed, he felt a little guilty.

"No, I want to pick up snails." Ayuan glanced at his sister and refused decisively. Picking up snails was tiring, but it was much better than taking his sister with him. The main thing was that he had brought enough earlier.

Zhao Qin had no choice but to continue walking forward with the little girl.

"Water, water." The little girl pointed to a long and narrow puddle. This puddle was very shallow and you could see the bottom at a glance. It was located among the cracks in the rocks. She said that the puddle was inappropriate.

It's like a small ditch washed out by running water on a stone, except that the water is still and has no direction.

Zhao Qin simply pulled the little girl down into the ditch. Although it was cloudy today, the weather was still very hot. Playing in the water would not be a problem.

The little girl kept stepping in the water with her little feet in sneakers, splashing water all over her body and giggling.

"Hey." Following the movement Miaomiao made, a fish actually jumped out of a gap.

"Fish, big fish." The little girl also saw it, pointing at the fish scurrying in the water and shouting eagerly.

The water was still a bit muddy, and Zhao Qin couldn't see clearly what kind of fish it was, so he didn't dare to catch it rashly. If it was a golden drum or a smelly belly, it would hurt for a whole day.

"Miaomiao, can you use your bucket to catch fish for your uncle?"

"Here, uncle, come on." Miaomiao simply handed her bucket over. In order for Zhao Qin to take it easily, she stood on tiptoes to lift the bucket as high as possible, trembling with her toes. It was so cute. .

Zhao Qin first poured the crabs and snails in the small bucket into his own large bucket, and then started pumping water from the small bucket.

The ditch is not big, so it is difficult to use his big bucket.

After smoking for about seven or eight minutes, he found that there was more than one tail. At this moment, two more tails popped out, but they were not big. He recognized it as Shi Jiugong at a glance.

The one that sprang out earlier was a black sea bream.

There was no need to pump water anymore, he was already wearing gloves and there wasn't much water, so he easily caught the three-tailed fish.

Put the two tails of Shijiu Gong in Miaomiao's small bucket, add some sea water into it, and hand it to the little girl, "Here you go, there are thorns biting your hands, don't touch them."

Miaomiao looked at the two fishes and smiled so much that she even drooled out.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he saw Zhao Ping and Ah He running not far away, "What's wrong, brother?"

"There is a big puddle over there. Ah He and I are going to lift the water pump down." Zhao Ping responded and kept running in the direction of the boat.

Following the direction that the eldest brother pointed just now, he pulled Miaomiao closer.

The puddle was quite big, estimated to be nearly a hundred square meters. He felt about the deepest part and threw a pebble down. There was a thud and water splashed up to Lao Gao, indicating that the water was quite deep.

Seeing him throwing stones, Miaomiao also picked up one and threw it for fun.

It looks like a hidden treasure, but I don't know what the bottom of the puddle is like. If it is all sandy bottom, most fish and crabs will not be willing to stay there. If there are more rocks, it will be much better.

He didn't stay long, his mission today was to play with the little girl.

Seeing that the water level had receded even lower, he took Miaomiao further down. After a while, he found a lot of breathing holes on the beach.

He is different now from last year. He can tell what is in the sand based on the shape of his breathing holes.

As he saw now, he was sure that it was left by clams, but the breathing holes were larger than those of ordinary clams and clams. He took out his shovel and dug four or five times.

I actually dug up a shellfish, like a clam, but bigger than a clam, like a small river mussel, one size bigger than Miaomiao's little fist.

The color of the shell is not like the grayish brown of ordinary clams, but has a layer of olive green that gradually turns purple at the edge of the shell, which is quite beautiful.

"I want it." Miaomiao naturally handed her keg in front of her, and Zhao Qin smiled and threw it in.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of shellfish, but the system has just given him a popular science introduction. Its scientific name is the double-lined clam. As for what the locals call it, he doesn't know yet.

He dug up another one and looked at it carefully in his hand. Just as his elder brother was walking nearby carrying the water pump, he raised it and gave it another look.

"You don't even know Xi Shi Tongue?"

"Is this delicious?"

"It's not bad. It tastes better than mussels. You can scoop some and steam it with minced garlic. The soup will also be very fresh."

This flat and sandy land was very suitable for Miaomiao's performance. Looking at the dense breathing holes, Zhao Qin simply refused to leave and planned to dig more.

"Uncle, I have one too." Miaomiao actually shoveled out one with a plastic shovel, and suddenly screamed excitedly. This time, Zhao Qin didn't need to explain, she picked it up and put it into the small bucket.

"Okay, let's compete to see who digs more."

"Miaomiao digs more, digs the biggest." The little girl said as she swung the small shovel in her hand faster.

Few people come to this island to catch the sea, so the resources are really good. Although there are no precious commodities such as sea cucumbers and abalone, the advantage is the large amount.

Moreover, the main purpose of bringing the whole family today is to experience life. It doesn’t matter how much they will be sold for, but the most enjoyable thing is to gain a lot.

After a while, a water pump not far away rang, and Zhao Ping and Ahe ran towards the boat again. Apparently the puddle was too big and one pump was too slow. They planned to have two pumps working at the same time.

Zhao Qin was digging carelessly, and the next moment he suddenly heard Miaomiao's loud crying, which startled him.

"It bit me." Miaomiao pointed at a swimming crab on the ground and complained aggrievedly.

Zhao Qin was surprised when he saw it was a crab. He quickly checked his two little hands and found that there were no obvious pinch marks.

"It bites the shovel."

Only then did Zhao Qin feel relieved. He stepped forward and held down the crab, then tied it up and said, "Can you eat it in your stomach at night?"

The little girl nodded quickly, "I won't eat it, my uncle will. I want to eat meat."

Well, not only Miaomiao, but also Ayuan don't like eating crabs very much. The reason is of course that there is less meat and more shells, which makes it troublesome to eat.

"Let's go to your grandma's place."

Pulling Miaomiao back, he came to Xia Rong and Chen Xue after a while. Seeing that the two women were not idle for a moment, he had to persuade:

"Sister-in-law, just pick up enough to eat, don't tire yourself."
