Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

To the right is the stone forest that just blocked the beach. Each stone is two or three meters high.

In front of these huge rocks, there are many rocks half a person's height, and many blue crabs and conger eels are hidden under the cracks of the rocks.

These are common things in rocky beaches. Chen Zhiyao feels that the good things Xiao Meng mentioned are definitely not these.

But since she had come across them, she did not miss out on these delicious seafood.

Every one of them could not escape the universal clamp in Chen Zhiyao's hand.

Blue Crab +3

Red Flower Crab +2

Horseshoe snail +5

Moray Eel +3

Coconut Snail+2

……

After crossing this small rocky beach, Chen Zhiyao arrived in front of the stone forest.

Seeing that the innermost stone wall was covered with gooseneck barnacles, Chen Zhiyao was so excited that her hands were shaking.

The stronghold of gooseneck barnacles

"Xiao Meng, you are so great. I just love you to death."

"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. I'll find you something better next time."

As Xiao Meng interacted more with Chen Zhiyao, she gradually developed her own ideas and became more arrogant.

Xiao Meng saw Chen Zhiyao still smiling foolishly, and quickly reminded her:

"Well, get to work, the tide is about to rise."

It would probably take me several hours to clean up such a large area of ​​gooseneck barnacles by myself.

Chen Zhiyao glanced at the waves at her feet again and estimated that the tide would rise in half an hour.

Time was running out, so she quickly shouted to her grandfather and father in the distance:

"Dad, Grandpa, come here quickly, quickly!"

Hearing her excited voice, the father and son knew there must be something good, so they ran over immediately.

Grandpa Chen was the closest and arrived in less than two minutes.

The old man is old and his eyes are a little presbyopic, so he couldn't see clearly the gooseneck barnacles in the cracks of the rocks for a while.

"Tangtang, what's the matter? Did you find anything good?"

"Hey, Grandpa, come closer and take a look at what these are."

After walking a few steps forward, Grandpa Chen noticed that the stone wall was covered with dense gooseneck barnacles.

"Wow, they are all Buddha's hands. They weigh at least 100 kilograms!"

At this time, Chen Weiqiang also came over. Seeing these expensive top-quality seafood, he felt very excited.

Without saying a word, the father and son took out their sand shovels and prepared to shovel all the little treasures down.

Seeing her father coming over, Chen Zhiyao ignored them and turned around to continue working.

Plump gooseneck barnacles

She arrived early, and the Buddha's hands in front of her were the fattest and biggest.

Chen Zhiyao has been going to the beach every day recently and is now an expert at picking barnacles. She wields the sand shovel in her hand with great vigor.

"Crash la la la..."

The waves at their feet kept hitting the rocks, and it felt like the tide was about to rise, so the grandfather and his two grandchildren quickly sped up.

The sea water rose very quickly. It was originally just at my feet, but by the time I had picked half of the barnacles, it had risen to my thighs.

As the waves continued to hit her, Chen Zhiyao accidentally drank several mouthfuls of the salty and bitter sea water.

"Bah bah bah..."

Chen Zhiyao spat out the sea water that had accidentally flowed into her mouth, then closed her mouth tightly, and her hands moved more skillfully.

The gooseneck barnacles on the stone wall were decreasing little by little, and the big bucket at Chen Zhiyao's feet was already half full.

At this time, another huge wave hit over and Chen Zhiyao was soaked all over.

Seeing that most of the gooseneck barnacles on this wall had been picked, Grandpa Chen urged his granddaughter to go back and change her clothes.

"Tangtang, the sea water is too cold now, and there aren't many conches left. Go back and change your clothes first, and your dad and I will take care of the rest."

"Yes, Tangtang, there's only a little left. Your grandfather and I can finish it in 10 minutes."

Chen Weiqiang has a hot temper and doesn't feel cold even though he is soaked all over, but his daughter is different.

Girls are physically weaker, and it is easy for them to get sick if they get soaked and blown by the wind here.

Chen Weiqiang was very determined and just pushed his daughter back.

She originally wanted to stay, but unexpectedly a bigger wave hit her head on.

Chen Zhiyao was petite, and was directly submerged by a wave, and was almost swept into the sea.

Chen Weiqiang supported his daughter with a look of fear on his face. Seeing that the waves were getting bigger and bigger, he didn't plan to pick the remaining gooseneck barnacles anymore, so he called the old man to go back together.

"Dad, let's go back first. There aren't many left. Let them grow longer. We'll come back before the sea is closed after the New Year."

The old man was not the kind of person who didn't know the seriousness of the matter. The three of them, grandfather and grandson, each carried a large bucket of gooseneck barnacles and walked back.

It was not high tide when we arrived, and the surrounding rocks were dry, so we didn't feel anything when we left.

It's high tide now, the sea water has submerged all the rocks, and it's hard to see what's under your feet.

The three of them stumbled as they walked, either stepping on slippery seaweed or sharp oysters.

It took several minutes to reach the beach where I had just gone to the sea.

The grandfather and his two grandchildren stopped under a coconut tree, panting.

Chen Zhiyao put down the bucket in her hand, and the heavy bucket pressed the soft sand into a deep pit.

This bucket of gooseneck barnacles weighs at least forty or fifty kilograms.

Chen Zhiyao thought happily that some time ago, gooseneck barnacles could be sold for 188 yuan per catty, and now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, one catty can be sold for at least 200 yuan.

I'm going to get rich! This bucket of gooseneck barnacles can probably be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Chen Zhiyao was smiling foolishly at the moment, when suddenly, she saw something seemed to be crawling on the coconut tree opposite.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a huge coconut crab.

Tree climbing coconut crab

Coconut crabs generally live in places with coconut trees and like to use the outer layer of fiber in the coconut shell to make their nests.

Coconut crabs are different from ordinary crabs. They feed on carrion and fruits, and their favorite food is coconut meat.

It is because of their love for eating coconuts that they got the name coconut crab.

Coconut crabs are masters at climbing trees and can even climb up coconut trees and pick coconuts to eat.

The two large pincers in front of it are very powerful. They can easily break the hard shell of the coconut and then take out the coconut meat inside and eat it.

The coconut crab is the largest crab in existence, and can grow to as much as eight or nine kilograms.

However, coconut crabs are basically hard to see nowadays. Like sea turtles and humphead wrasse, they are all national protected animals.

There are many coconut trees on the nearby islands and even on the white sandy beaches in the village, but Chen Zhiyao has only seen coconut crabs twice in her life.

Looking at the giant coconut crab on the tree, which weighed at least three or four pounds, she was almost drooling. Such a big crab must be delicious.

She has never eaten coconut crab and doesn't know what it tastes like.

But she was just thinking about it, this is a protected animal.

As she walked away, Chen Zhiyao looked back every few steps, staring straight at the big crab, which scared it so much that it quickly climbed up the tree.

(Coconut crab: Why do I feel a chill on my back? Oops, I’m being targeted by a bad guy.)
