The tide had already risen by then, and there were not many rocks exposed on the shore.

The surging tide constantly hits the huge rocks on the shore, making waves of huge waves.

At this time, Chen Zhiyao was completely immersed in the fun of going to the beach, and unknowingly walked to the place where the reef beach met the sea water.

The bright moonlight fell on the coastline like silver gauze, and also illuminated her way forward.

I saw her with her head slightly lowered, her eyes scanning every inch of land and every stone under her feet with concentration and expectation.

She carefully moved between the reefs, searching carefully for the fresh seafood hidden among them.

Hard work pays off, and before long, Chen Zhiyao found a good place.

Under a giant reef that is taller than itself, there are two wide crevices.

Deep in the crevice facing the sea, there are several fat orchid crabs hiding.

There are 6 crabs in total, three big and three small. It seems like a big family.

These orchid crabs also noticed Chen Zhiyao who was eyeing them outside, and they waved their big claws aggressively, as if trying to scare away this uninvited guest.

But how could Chen Zhiyao be afraid?

She happily took out the big, plump crabs one by one and then tied them up.

Except for a pregnant one and one that was too small, which were released by Chen Zhiyao, the remaining four were all collected by her.

When we came to the side facing the sea, we found two large blue crabs weighing about half a pound under the crevice.

They caught 6 big crabs at once, and Chen Zhiyao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

After walking two more steps forward, a medium-sized reef was quickly uncovered.

Now, the octopus hidden underneath was suddenly exposed.

Chen Zhiyao smiled slightly and easily put the octopus into her pocket.

Horseshoe snail +1

Octopus +2

Green Fish+1

Poached fish +2

Spicy Snail+9

Flower snail +8

……

While turning over the stones, Chen Zhiyao happily picked up these treasures one by one and put them into the bucket in her hand.

At this moment, she had long forgotten the passage of time and was completely immersed in the treasure world given by the ocean, busy and happy.

Suddenly, she stopped in front of a smooth rock.

Chen Zhiyao quickly stretched out the universal clamp in her hand towards a big guy who was trying to escape.

The next second, a small green dragon was pulled out. This small green dragon was of average size, weighing only about half a pound.

However, Chen Zhiyao was still very happy to find such valuable seafood on the beach in the village.

She happily put it into the bucket and continued walking forward with brisk steps.

There are obviously more good things on the reefs close to the sea.

After a while, Chen Zhiyao found another large nest of snails under a reef.

These snails, the big ones are almost as big as her fists, and the small ones are only the size of fingernails, looking like newborn babies.

The number is so large that they don’t look like a large family, but rather a whole clan.

Although the whole family had to be together, Chen Zhiyao still did not touch some small snails. After all, they had all been picked up and there would be no seafood to eat in the future.

She picked up all the ones that were of medium size or larger, which weighed about two kilograms in total.

The price of flower snails has gone up a lot now. If you take them to the purchasing station, one pound can be sold for more than 50 yuan.

Chen Zhiyao couldn't suppress the smile as she received another 100 yuan at once.

Just as she was about to move forward with the bucket in her hand, a large crab with a green color and orange-yellow color suddenly ran out from a reef in front of her left.

"Wow, this blue crab is quite big." When Chen Zhiyao saw the big crab, she immediately ran after it without thinking.

The ground under her feet was covered with moss and sharp edges, but she was not slow at all and soon caught the big crab in front of her.

Looking at the large crab in her hand that looked a little different from the blue crab, Chen Zhiyao muttered uncertainly:

"Why does this guy look a bit like a butter crab?" Butter crab is a unique species of crab. In appearance, it is very similar to the common blue crab and crab with roe, but in fact its value far exceeds both.

Not only that, the number of butter crabs is extremely rare. As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable, which makes it a sought-after object among many diners.

The origin of butter crab is quite legendary.

Butter crabs are actually ordinary roe crabs. However, when they are in shallow water, if they are exposed to continuous strong sunlight, causing the water temperature in the shallow water to rise sharply, the roe crabs will be greatly stimulated.

Under such circumstances, the crab roe in the crab's body will undergo miraculous changes, gradually decomposing and transforming into golden oil.

As time goes by, the oil slowly seeps into every corner of the crab's body, and the entire crab's body turns orange-yellow.

The vivid and distinctive name "butter crab" came into being.

Although butter crab can essentially be considered a special type of crab, the two are almost identical in appearance.

But if you look closely, you can still find some subtle differences.

Especially after the butter crab is steamed, its color will be between red and yellow.

In addition, yellow oil can be clearly seen oozing out from the crab shell and crab claw joints.

The yield and quality of butter crabs are greatly affected by the breeding environment and weather conditions, as well as the long growing week.

All these factors together make the butter crab extremely valuable, and it is even known as the "king of crabs". The butter crab in Chen Zhiyao's hand can be said to be a giant among crabs. It feels heavy in the hand, and it is estimated to be about 7 taels.

The quality is impeccable and it is very valuable at first glance.

She stared at the butter crabs with wide eyes, and couldn't help feeling ecstatic.

It was as if I saw countless cute little coins, waving their little hands and running towards me happily.

Chen Zhiyao carefully tied the butter crabs tightly with ropes.

After finishing, she stood up contentedly and looked again at the reef where the butter crab had just escaped.

With full expectations in mind, Chen Zhiyao tiptoed to the reef and began to search around carefully.

She had turned the reef upside down, but found nothing except a few small snails.

So she expanded the scope and checked all the surrounding reefs.

Hard work pays off. After a while, she was surprised to find two more golden butter crabs hidden in the crevices of the rocks not far away.

Moreover, each one weighs about six or seven taels, and they are the best of the best.
