Mangroves in the morning

The grandfather, grandson and his two children had a midnight snack and it was already 11 o'clock when they got home.

After washing up, Chen Zhiyao lay on the bed and yawned.

Remembering that she had to go to the beach to collect the traps tomorrow and then go to the red mangroves, Chen Zhiyao quickly set the alarm for 6 o'clock.

She doesn't plan to go fishing in the village tomorrow. She will go out to sea directly after collecting the traps.

Not only did Chen Zhiyao get up late, but even Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang slept until nearly 6 o'clock.

Seeing that the three people came back late last night, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting did not wake them up.

After breakfast, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked towards the beach, talking and laughing.

Getting up early to go to the beach has become a habit for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. As long as it doesn't rain, they will go to the beach together every morning.

Even if you don't catch any valuable big ones, it would be nice to dig up some small clams and pry some oysters to take home for cooking.

When Chen Zhiyao stretched her back and went downstairs, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang were having breakfast.

Seeing his granddaughter getting up, the vigorous Grandpa Chen spoke with great energy:

"The terrain over there in the mangroves is complicated and it's easy to get lost. I'll go with you later."

"Okay, let's collect the traps first, and then go out to sea directly."

Chen Zhiyao agreed with a smile. With her grandfather, an old fisherman, around, she felt extremely safe.

Chen Weiqiang pursed his lips and said sourly, "Humph, you old man obviously just want to go fishing."

Grandpa Chen turned around and stabbed him like a sharp knife, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

As a thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, Chen Zhiyao saw at a glance that her father also wanted to go fishing with them, so she invited him with a smile:

"Dad, you made over 300 yuan yesterday, which should be about the same as the daily income of a fishing tackle store, right? Why don't you go fishing with us? Maybe you can make more money."

Chen Weiqiang waved his hand and refused, "No, two regular customers are coming to choose fishing rods today."

As a middle-aged man with elderly parents and young children to take care of, Chen Weiqiang’s main focus is on stability.

He also knew that his fishing skills were average, so he decided to just concentrate on his shop and enjoy night fishing on occasion.

When Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen arrived at the beach, the sea water had receded by more than half, making it a good time for them to collect the traps.

The grandfather and grandson split up into two groups. Chen Zhiyao went to collect the traps first, while Grandpa Chen went to the newly rented boat to do a simple cleanup.

By the way, contact the gasoline delivery person and the ice store to add oil and ice to the boat.

Beach at low tide

"so beautiful!"

The endless white sand beach, the blue sea, and even the clouds in the sky were so beautiful. Chen Zhiyao took a lot of photos on the way.

Today is a lot later than usual, and there are already quite a few people at the beach.

Everyone in the village knows that Chen Zhiyao is lucky and has a good harvest every day.

Many people on the road greeted her enthusiastically, but there were also a few shameless ones who followed her silently.

There was a group of people following behind her and Chen Zhiyao felt very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the place where the trap was placed was not too far away and she arrived there in less than a few minutes.

Seeing that Chen Zhiyao did not go fishing, but went directly to collect the traps, the people behind her dispersed and went to fish in the sea nearby.

Seeing that these people finally stopped following her, Chen Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she rented a fishing boat.

From now on she will go to the island outside to fish. I won’t play with you guys.

I put out 13 traps yesterday, 6 of them were empty and one was bitten.

Among the remaining six traps, the first one contained two large blue crabs weighing about 6 to taels.

Looking at these two big guys with bared fangs and claws, Chen Zhiyao finally smiled.

"These two blue crabs are quite fat."

Then came the second trap, which actually contained 5 jumping fish weighing only to grams.

"I didn't expect that the ground trap could catch jumping fish. Not bad, not bad. This little thing is quite expensive."

The third trap is more mixed, containing blue crabs, orchid crabs, octopuses and snails.

The 4th and 5th traps were filled with fish, one contained more than three kilograms of sea bass and the other contained more than two kilograms of golden pomfret.

The other one is the more valuable bluefin bream, two large bluefin bream weighing nearly two kilograms.

"I didn't expect today's harvest to be so good. These few fish are worth more than 300 yuan."

As she said this, she came to the last trap with a smile on her face.

This is the trap bought in the system. Chen Zhiyao grabbed the rope tied to the stone and pulled it up. It was quite heavy, and she could clearly feel something hitting inside.

Chen Zhiyao was so nervous that she held her breath, looking at the trap that was about to surface with great anticipation.

After seeing the situation inside the trap, Chen Zhiyao's eyes widened and she couldn't help but swear:

"Hold on, this is a really big bluefin bream, it must be at least 5-6 jin."

A catty of black carp is already selling for 60 yuan per catty, so this big one must be more than 100 yuan, right?

Chen Zhiyao's face was filled with joy, and she silently gave Xiao Meng a thumbs up in her heart: "The things produced by this system are really extraordinary."

Although the people nearby were working hard to find things in the sea, their eyes would occasionally look towards Chen Zhiyao.

After seeing the huge green fish, everyone’s eyes widened as big as copper bells and their mouths could hardly close.

Someone decided on the spot to put his own trap here as well.

Chen Zhiyao packed up her things and when she turned around, she saw everyone around her running away in a hurry.

But she didn't care and quickly called Grandpa Chen and asked him to drive the family car over.

Grandpa Chen was also amazed when he saw the giant blue fish and carefully carried the big guy onto the tricycle.

"What a surprise this morning! Tangtang, you must have had a good harvest today."

"Hahaha, I think so too."

The grandfather and grandson did not go home or to the purchasing station, but directly put the fish into the live fish warehouse on the boat.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to get into the cab, ready to set off for Seagull Island.

Although she doesn't have a driver's license, she passed the fishing boat driving test early on.

As the descendant of fishermen, how could I not know how to sail a boat?

Going out to sea

Looking at the endless sea in front of her, Chen Zhiyao shouted excitedly:

"Let's go to sea!"

Grandpa Chen, who had nothing to do, took out a hand-cast net he brought from home and kept throwing it into the sea.

When we arrived at the destination, the old man actually caught several fish. Although they were not big, there were many varieties.

There are cuttlefish, bluefin bream, golden pomfret, yellowtail and sea wolf, just in time to cook a pot of mixed fish stew for lunch.

Chen Zhiyao stopped the boat at the edge of the mangrove forest and took out a small kayak.

mangrove forest

Mangroves are actually a group of small trees living in the sea, which is basically filled with sea water or soft mud.

Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen paddled a small kayak, swimming freely in the mangroves like fish.

Soon, the two arrived at the central area of ​​the mangrove forest.

The two got off the kayak, and Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a cute little guy on the tree.

Small snail on the tree

This little snail lives on the trees in the mangroves. People in the village call these little guys tree snails.

Tree snails are not big in size, and the purchasing station in the village only sells them for 8 yuan per pound, but they taste good when stir-fried.

Chen Zhiyao took the trap handed to her by her grandfather, turned around and found another little guy next to the two small flowers.

Tree snail

"There are quite a lot of tree snails here, but they are a little small."

Grandpa Chen was injured by this tree snail when he was young and he doesn't like it very much.

"This snail has no meat and is not tasty. It's better to go to the reef beach over at Seagull Island and catch some snails."

Grandpa Chen is quite familiar with this place, and he takes Chen Zhiyao through this maze-like mangrove forest with ease.

The last time she came to the mangroves was a few years ago, and Chen Zhiyao looked around with curiosity.

My eyes accidentally saw two little guys fighting.

Fighting little guy

"These two little guys are pretty cute, but they're a little small."

The two little guys who escaped the disaster because of their small size didn't know what was happening and continued to fight as if no one was around.
