The next morning at six o'clock, before Su Tian had even gotten out of bed, there was a knock on her door.

"Su Tian, ​​are you up? You don't have to go to work today. We're planning to go beachcombing. Do you want to come?" Zhang Tingting asked.

Still half asleep, Su Tian immediately sat up. Beachcombing? Is Songjia Village really that close to the sea?

Don't blame Su Tian for not knowing; she had only been in the countryside for a little over a month, and upon arriving, she was busy with the harvest and didn't have time to learn about the village's situation.

"Okay, wait a few minutes." After saying that, he immediately got to work.

Five minutes later, Su Tian was ready. She put on her straw hat, picked up her wooden bucket, and joined the other educated youth at the settlement.

It seems everyone really enjoys beachcombing; this is the first time I've seen such a large group of people together.

It turns out that Qinzhou Town, like Donghai City, is located by the sea.

It takes about half an hour to walk from Songjia Village to the sea. After finishing their farm work, the people of Sanhe Brigade would organize people to go out to sea to fish.

It's August, and the fish in the ocean have already passed their spawning season, making it the perfect time to catch them.

There was no such thing as a fishing ban in the past. As long as you finished your farm work, you could go fishing. Even if you didn't know how to fish, you could go beachcombing.

Songjia Village is located in a bay, facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Everyone at the educated youth settlement took their beachcombing tools and went together.

Half an hour later, they reached the beach. They heard the sound of waves crashing and seagulls soaring over the water…

Su Tian noticed that the sea water was really blue, and there wasn't a single piece of trash on the shore.

This is the sea in the 1970s! Back then, the sea was still a mysterious realm, largely unexploited. The water was crystal clear and azure, shimmering under the sunlight.

The waves rhythmically lapped against the shore, producing a powerful and resonant sound, as if telling an ancient story.

Without so much industrial pollution, the ocean surface ripples beautifully under the sunlight.

Su Tian stood on the beach, feeling the sea breeze gently blowing, and felt very comfortable.

There are no such beautiful oceans in the apocalypse; the oceans have been continuously polluted by nuclear wastewater discharged by those inhumane countries.

The fish in the sea were all poisoned to death, and the seawater was all black and smelly.

Su Tian discovered that many village women and children were already digging along the beach. They were fully equipped, carrying buckets, baskets with urea belts tied around their waists, and rakes and sticks in their hands.

"Su Tian, ​​stop looking, hurry up and dig!" Chunling said anxiously, afraid that everyone else had already finished digging.

"Okay, let's start digging."

Su Tian poked at the clam with the stick in her hand and dug out a fan-shaped clam.

Clams: They mostly inhabit the shallow waters of the intertidal zone and muddy bays with a depth of more than 50 meters. Their shells are diverse in shape, and their meat is delicious and nutritious.

In modern times, clams generally cost seven or eight yuan per pound, and one pound is only enough for one person. Clams contain water and do not weigh well, so there are not many clams per pound.

Su Tian's hands moved faster and faster, and she dug up more and more clams, about two pounds in total.

She wanted to dig for something else, and saw a large area of ​​reefs not far away.

There must be other seafood around the reef, since it's always covered with all sorts of shellfish, like oysters, scallops, and mussels...

Reaching the rocks, Su Tian quickly took out a small iron shovel from her spatial storage when no one was looking.

Because she saw a large area of ​​oysters, her favorite food.

He shoveled and shoveled with all his might for an hour, enough for a meal.

"Su Tian, ​​there are crabs over here, come over quickly," Chunling called out again.

"Here we are..." Su Tian carried the wooden bucket and carefully walked to the other side of the reef.

When Su Tian arrived, Ma Chunling had already picked up several large crabs from her bucket.

Su Tian carefully examined the crevices in the rocks and finally spotted one. She used a stick to pry it out, quickly picked it up, and threw it into the wooden bucket. If she was even a little slower, she would have been pinched by the crab's claws.

Su Tian and Ma Chunling were quick and accurate in catching crabs, and they even managed to catch a few octopuses from time to time.

Half an hour later, the two of them had reached another group of rocks, where Su Tian saw several puddles.

Could there be fish and shrimp in this puddle? Fear is out of the question.

She stirred it a few times with a stick and actually saw several large mantis shrimps. Hehe... she's struck it rich!

Seeing that Su Tian had picked up so much, He Hua, who was not far from her, could only angrily stab the ground.

She spent most of the day picking seashells, but only managed to collect a few. She was so lazy that she couldn't even keep up with the five-year-old children in the village.

Every child in the village picked up more than her. She was bad at interpersonal relationships but very jealous, and could get angry eight hundred times a day.

If Su Tian could really anger that bitch He Hua to death, she would at least burn incense for him.

Everyone was lucky today; their buckets were almost full of clams, oysters, fish, and shrimp.

It was getting increasingly sunny at the beach, and fearing heatstroke, the beachcombers gradually started heading back.

Su Tian and Ma Chunling also made plans to go back together. Once they got back, they would have a big seafood feast, which sounded wonderful.

The seafood was so delicious that even the dog was drooling. They made a promise to come back again next time.

They carried the contents of the buckets back to the educated youth settlement at 11 a.m.

Su Tian filled a basin with clean water, put the clams in it to soak in the sand for a day or two, and added a few drops of peanut oil. The clams expelled the sand quickly and cleanly.

Oysters don't die easily, so let's set them aside for now.

What she wants to eat right now is octopus and mantis shrimp. The mantis shrimp has been washed and set aside.

I used a knife to cut the octopus into small pieces, washed the iron pot, lit the fire, heated the pot, added peanut oil, and threw the mantis shrimp and octopus into the pot to stir-fry for a few seconds.
