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

At night, Chen Zhiyao had a very realistic dream. In the dream, she poked the blue crab nest, and large blue crabs weighing one or two kilograms came out one after another, and finally the nest burst.

In the dream, she was tying blue crabs until her hands were sore and her little face was tired of smiling.

"Ring ring ring ring ring..."

The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, Chen Zhiyao woke up with a smile.

While brushing her teeth, she was still thinking: This dream is so real, I should bring more crab ties, maybe my dream will come true.

At this time, the sky outside was still gray, but the people who had gotten up early to go to the sea were already busy.

After breakfast, Chen Weiqiang drove a van and took his family to the beach to catch seafood.

The sun had just risen, and the sky and the sea were dyed pink by the sunrise, looking like a colorful oil painting.

Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but take out her cell phone and started taking pictures.

When a few people came to the beach carrying their things, quite a few people had already gathered there.

The people in the village couldn't wait for the tide to go out, and went straight into the calf-deep water to look for all kinds of seafood.

The beach here is crowded, and I don't think I can get anything good. Chen Zhiyao turned around and said to her family:

"There are too many people here. I'm going to the less crowded reef beach ahead to catch some seafood."

As she said this, she picked up her fishing tools and walked towards the rocky beach of yesterday.

Compared to here, she still prefers to go to places with fewer people to catch seafood, at least no one will compete with her.

"There are oysters and crabs on the rocky beach. Be sure to wear gloves and never catch crabs with your hands." Yan Shuting behind him reminded worriedly.

"I know. I'll be careful."

A good sister who was familiar with each other called Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting to go fishing together. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were too lazy to leave, so they just stayed on the beach to go fishing.

Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang moved out the old and broken water pump from their home, planning to pump out the puddle on the reef beach and bring back some big ones.

The sea water receded quickly and far today. Before Chen Zhiyao reached the rocky beach, the sea water had already receded a lot.

Along the way, there were all kinds of small shells under my feet, densely packed, but unfortunately they were all worthless small shells.

Various shells

These small shells can be seen everywhere on the beach even when there is no high tide.

But they are not worth much, and only when there is no harvest will the villagers pick them up and take them home.

If you bring a colander, you can get dozens of kilograms in an hour.

The tide had just receded, and there were still many small creatures stranded on the beach. Along the way, Chen Zhiyao picked up quite a few cat's-eye snails and small octopuses that had not yet had time to lie on the sand.

The purchase prices for both items are good, so you definitely can’t pass them up if you see them.

When they reached the rocky beach, there were already more than ten cat's-eye snails and seven or eight octopuses with bared fangs and claws in the bucket in Chen Zhiyao's hand.

Weighing the bucket in her hand, Chen Zhiyao smiled as brightly as the sun in the sky, "Not bad, not bad, about three pounds."

In the reef area yesterday, there are already three people turning over rocks. They all have happy faces and it seems that they have made a good harvest.

This place is quite big, and everyone occupies a piece of space without affecting each other.

The tide has just begun to recede and there are not many things left, so Chen Zhiyao does not plan to put on her X-ray glasses right now.

Such an important thing must be used effectively, at least after the tide has completely receded.

Putting on the gloves given by the system, Chen Zhiyao held the bucket in one hand and the tongs in the other and started today's sea-hunting.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw a small pentagonal creature lying on the emerald green seaweed.

“What a beautiful starfish.”

The corners of this little guy are curled upwards, which looks quite special.

Starfish look like five-pointed stars. They live in every corner of the ocean, from shallow seas to deep seas.

These little guys mainly feed on shellfish, crabs, sea urchins, etc.

Starfish come in varying sizes, with the smallest being around 2.5 cm and the largest being up to 90 cm.

There are starfish of various colors, including orange, red, purple, yellow, cyan, etc., all of which are very beautiful.

The seeds inside the starfish are edible, but the taste is so-so, so people in the village generally don't want them.

Beautiful starfish of various colors can be seen everywhere on the beach, but basically no one picks them up.

In her opinion, starfish are good-looking but useless.

After walking a few more steps, Chen Zhiyao spotted a large yellow claw exposed under a reef.

The color of this pliers is quite similar to the reef next to it. If it hadn't moved slightly just now, I would have really misjudged it.

Large pliers

Chen Zhiyao grew up by the sea and was very familiar with this big claw. It was obviously a blue crab at first glance, and it was quite big.

"It was hidden very secretly, but unfortunately I still found it."

The universal clamp in Chen Zhiyao's hand quickly reached out to the big guy with a pipa half-covered.

After being clamped by the clamp, the crab inside stopped struggling and was clamped out obediently.

"What a fat crab, at least one pound. Not bad, a good start."

Blue Crab +1

I dreamed of poking a blue crab nest last night, but I didn’t expect that I would actually catch a big blue crab today.

"Luckily I brought a lot of cable ties when I went out. I said they would definitely come in handy today." His tone revealed a lot of pride.

Chen Zhiyao tied up the big guy skillfully. The blue crab was bigger than her fist and felt heavy in her hand.

Blue crabs are considered to be relatively expensive seafood because of their tender meat, delicious taste and rich nutrition.

A piece as big as this one would cost sixty or seventy yuan per pound even if sold to a purchasing station.

This is all money. Looking at this big green thing, Chen Zhiyao was very happy.

Blue Crab

As soon as she put the blue crab in place, she looked up and was delighted to see two cat's eye snails, one big and one small, under the reef in front of her left.

Chen Zhiyao took two steps at a time and directly lifted up the reef. She looked at the cat's eye snail that was almost as big as her fist, revealing two sharp little fangs. It looked silly, but very cute.

"This must be the ancestor of the cat's eye snail."

Chen Zhiyao weighed it and it was at least three taels, close to four taels, and the smaller one was at least two taels.

Cat's eye snail +2

In fact, there were a few small oysters on the stone, but they were too small and not valuable, so Chen Zhiyao decided to let them go.

After walking a few steps, she saw the familiar big claws again under a reef.

And this guy is even more exaggerated, with both big pincers exposed.

Two large pliers

"You're afraid that others don't know you're here."

The pincers in his hand grabbed it quickly, accurately and fiercely. It was another big blue crab, but it was thinner than the previous one, weighing only six or seven taels. However, the head was still good.

The deeper you go into the sea, the bigger the rocks below are, and there are more and more good things.

Suddenly, she saw a very special stone, surrounded by a circle of densely packed green shells.

Shell covered stone

Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up, and she trotted over quickly, "There are so many mussels, and some of them are quite big."

Fortunately, she doesn't have trypophobia, otherwise she wouldn't dare to touch the densely packed mussels.

Mussels are also called clams. After being dried, they become "mussels". They are very delicious when used to make soup or stew.

Mussels live in the intertidal zone to the shallow seabed. They are common on the seashore and can usually be found on rocky beaches.

The taste is quite good, but there are too many things in it and it is not worth the money. The price is cheaper than clams, and some purchasing stations are unwilling to buy it.

If we take all of these mussels down, there will be no place to put the things we find later.

Moreover, they are heavy and not convenient to carry when going to the beach, so Chen Zhiyao decides to ignore them for the time being.

I thought that when I get back, if they are still here, I will take them back to dry in the sun.

Continue walking forward and you will see thigh-high rocks all around you.

These stones form small natural puddles.

When I looked up, I saw two round figures under a stone the size of a rice cooker.

Chen Zhiyao walked forward and overturned the stone, revealing a nest of cat's-eye snails hidden underneath.

Cat's eye snail +5

The whole family was neatly packed up and thrown into the bucket by Chen Zhiyao.

"Splash~" A faint sound of water was heard not far away.

Judging from the sound, it should be a big fish. Chen Zhiyao was immediately delighted, and two dimples were faintly visible on her face.
