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

Chapter 216: Turtle Island Sea Hunting 4

Chen Zhiyao walked a few steps and when she looked back, she found that the coconut crab had climbed to the top and was picking coconuts with great effort.

Coconut crab picking coconuts

Although the coconuts on the tree are not big and look unripe.

But the coconut crab on the tree was not polite at all. It used its big claws to exert force, and two unripe green coconuts fell off the tree one after the other.

The coconuts that fell from a great height made a loud noise when they hit the ground.

Seeing the big hole on the beach, Chen Zhiyao still felt a little scared.

Fortunately, there were no coconut crabs picking coconuts on the coconut tree where they had just stood.

Otherwise, if it got hit, my head would probably be smashed.

Soon, the seemingly clumsy coconut crab climbed down from the coconut tree that was several meters tall very nimbly.

The huge crab claws were raised high and cracked open a coconut with a few clicks.

Chen Zhiyao, who had never seen the world, was watching with great interest.

Suddenly, the old man's urging voice came from the front:

"Tangtang, what's wrong? Come up quickly."

When Chen Zhiyao came to her senses, she found that her grandfather and father had already walked more than ten meters away, so she quickly dragged the cart to catch up with them.

"Hey, come on, come on!"

The father and son slowed down their pace, and Chen Zhiyao quickly caught up with them, then talked excitedly about the coconut crab.

"That coconut crab is even bigger than the brown crab I caught. It weighs at least three or four pounds. It looks clumsy, but it climbs trees very quickly. It climbed up a tree several meters high in just a few steps."

Speaking of coconut crabs, Chen Weiqiang hasn't eaten them for many years. He said with a nostalgic look:

"When I was a kid, there were a lot of coconut crabs on the island. They were big and meaty, and they tasted pretty good."

"But coconut crabs became less and less common, and after they became protected species, I never ate them again."

Chen Zhiyao became even more greedy after hearing what her father said, and looked at him with a resentful face.

"Since you're so greedy, can I steam two big crabs for you at noon?"

Chen Zhiyao nodded proudly, "That's more like it, but I won't take advantage of you. I'll steam a herring for lunch."

"Don't be so stingy, add another black sea bream."

Just as the father and daughter were discussing what to eat for lunch, the three of them came to the place where they had just started picking snails.

The sack of snails that they picked up at the beginning was still soaking in the sea water. The father and son took a lot of effort to lift it out.

Chen Zhiyao, who was standing on the shore waiting, was looking around boredly.

Suddenly, she saw a huge turtle right in front of her.

Big turtle

"It's worthy of being called Turtle Island. This big turtle is even bigger than the one we encountered on Seagull Island before. It must be at the level of an ancestor."

This big turtle was not afraid of people at all. It still stayed leisurely in the same place and even raised its head to meet Chen Zhiyao's eyes.

This guy was not afraid of being eaten, so Chen Zhiyao was naturally not afraid of it either. After looking it up and down, she compared it with the big turtle that had returned the favor before.

"This big turtle is quite pretty, much prettier than the human-like turtle we encountered before."

Feeling the big guy's contemptuous look, Chen Zhiyao glared at it again:

"What are you looking at? Although this guy looks good, his temper is not as good as the previous turtle. It turns out that you can't just judge a turtle by its appearance."

Chen Zhiyao was getting bored of waiting so she simply took out her cell phone and prepared to take a photo with the turtle, but she was stopped by her grandfather.

"This turtle is also a protected animal. Try not to take photos with it. If someone sees it, it could cause trouble."

Chen Weiqiang is a businessman and is usually quite cautious. Seeing his daughter's confused look, he explained the matter to her:

"Although we didn't do anything wrong, you took a photo. If someone with a bad heart saw it and reported you, it would be troublesome."

Chen Zhiyao listened to the advice and immediately took back her phone.

It is better to have less trouble than more, and she does not want to go to the police station for tea.

They have had good harvests from their recent trips to the sea. There are many people at the dock, and I guess many of them are jealous of them.

As soon as she got back on the boat, Chen Zhiyao excitedly took the gooseneck barnacles she had just collected to weigh them without even having time to change her clothes.

"It's 42.6 kilograms, and I think it can be sold for 1 yuan. It's a good decision to come to Turtle Island today."

Chen Zhiyao lifted the bucket with a smile on her face, and Chen Weiqiang behind her immediately put the gooseneck barnacles he had collected on it.

"38.8 catties, not bad, I can have a fat year this year."

Chen Weiqiang thought that the price of seafood during this year's Spring Festival was not bad, so he estimated that he would be able to buy a new car after the New Year.

The father and daughter gathered together happily, estimating how much money they could earn today.

At this time, Grandpa Chen, who had changed his clothes, came over and saw the two of them still standing there stupidly, so he quickly sent them into the house to change their clothes.

After all, Grandpa Chen is old and his energy cannot keep up with the two little ones. In total, he only collected 32 kilograms of gooseneck barnacles.

Although it's not as good as that of the father and daughter, it's still pretty good.

These gooseneck barnacles are quite large, and Grandpa Chen plans to sell them all while the prices are good during the New Year.

When Chen Zhiyao changed her clothes and came out, she saw her grandfather pouring out all the snails and sand mites from the sack.

The prices of the two are different. If they are sold separately, the price per pound can be increased by a few dollars.

The old man is used to sorting seafood, so he naturally wouldn't save this little effort. He classified the various seafoods skillfully, intending to sell them at a good price during the New Year.

Seeing that the father and daughter were coming to help, the old man shook his head and reassigned work to them.

"I'll finish this in a short while. Tangtang, go to the kitchen to make lunch. Qiangzi, you go around the boat and see if you can catch a few more big yellow croakers today."

When talking about fishing for big yellow croaker, the father and daughter's eyes lit up and they turned around and ran away immediately.

Although the gooseneck barnacles we collected today are worth a lot of money, who would complain about having too much money?

Chen Zhiyao also wanted to catch a few more yellow croakers and keep a bigger one to eat on New Year's Eve.

Thinking of steaming big blue crabs for his daughter, Chen Weiqiang picked out six big blue crabs weighing about 6 to grams from his catch before going to the cab, just enough for two for each person.

"Dad, you are so generous. Do you want to eat steamed or stir-fried with ginger and scallions?"

"Only children make choices. As a mature adult, I naturally want them all."

"Sure, there are six big crabs. Let's steam half of them and stir-fry the other half."

Gooseneck barnacles are quite expensive, so the grandfather and his two grandchildren couldn’t bear to eat them, so they had to eat a few more crabs, since the taste was almost the same anyway.
