Jiang Xia discovered a nest of black things in the water, like a bunch of black flowers blooming in the water.
"Zhou Chenglei." Jiang Xia shouted to the man who was bending over to dig snails.
Zhou Chenglei was not far away. He quickly pulled up a belt that was bigger than his face, then walked towards Jiang Xia carrying a bucket of water.
Jiang Xia pointed at the black thing on the ground and said, "What is this? Can I pick it up?"
Zhou Chenglei took a look and said, "This is a black anemone."
“Is this what an anemone looks like?”
"Anemones, like the fish in the sea, come in many different shapes and sizes. Touch them and see."
Jiang Xia squatted down and touched it, and the black anemone shrank like a mimosa.
It’s really fun! “If I had brought the kids out to touch it earlier, they would have loved it.”
Many anemones feel soft and comfortable to the touch.
Zhou Chenglei: "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When the children can walk, I will bring them out to play."
"Yeah. It was summer vacation then, so we didn't mind the cold when we played in the water."
The couple continued walking forward.
The water on this beach is unpolluted, and there are a lot of seafood on the beach during low tide. You can easily find a shellfish by bending over, closing your eyes and feeling around.
Some villagers were raking the ground with rakes, and they could dig out several white sand snails with one rake.
If this happened in modern times, you would have to rake a long way to find one or two.
Jiangxia discovered a nest of scallops, there were as many as five of them, and they were all huge.
"Are you in a meeting?"
She bent down and picked them all up.
After picking up the scallops, I saw the eye of a snail. "There is a snail here."
Zhou Chenglei: "I'll do it."
"No need." It was inconvenient before because of a big belly, but Jiang Xia felt that pulling out the conches was the most enjoyable. The sound was very relaxing.
The scallops are large in size and delicious, and are a favorite of the villagers who go to the beach to fish.
Zhou Chenglei followed Jiang Xia not far away with a bucket in his hand. He also found several scallops.
Jiang Xia: "There are so many scallops today."
This situation is uncommon.
Normally, when you go fishing, you will pick up scallops, but you won’t pick up so many at once.
Zhou Chenglei said, "There must be a lot of scallops on the seafloor. I'll go diving and take a look tomorrow."
Pick up some scallops, dry them, and bring them to Jingshi to cook porridge or noodles, or sprinkle a handful into steamed eggs. They will be fresh and sweet without MSG.
No one in the Zhou family likes to put MSG in food, especially soup and porridge. Eating food with MSG will make them feel very thirsty. Dried scallops become a good ingredient to enhance the flavor and freshness of soup and porridge.
However, the Zhou family usually eats seafood, and most of the time they eat seafood in its original flavor, so there is no need for seasonings such as MSG. Salt and soy sauce are enough.
At this time, Tian Caihua also ran to the two of them and said, "Why don't you call me when you come to catch fish?"
She glanced at Ruan Tang and Zhou Chengsen not far away.
Now the second and fourth rooms are getting closer and closer!
Tian Caihua felt that she was left behind by Jiang Xia! She never had this feeling before when Li Xiuxian was around.
After Xiaotang gets married, will she, the eldest sister-in-law, be excluded by them? After all, Ruantang and Jiangxia are both city people, they are friends, and they are both college students. She herself is a country girl who can't even recognize all the words.
Tian Caihua felt that her status as the eldest sister-in-law and like a mother was about to be lost.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not a good idea for Zhou Chengsen to marry a city wife.
Jiang Xia threw a hairy clam into the bucket and said, "I thought you were already here. Didn't my brother bring people to collect mussels a long time ago?"
Tian Caihua glanced at the bucket Zhou Chenglei was carrying: "He's here, and I'm still at home. You've already picked up so many! So many scallops?"
"Hmm, there seem to be a lot of scallops on this beach."
"Really? Then I'll pick some up too!" Tian Caihua quickly lowered her head to look for it, "Didn't A-Lei just say that he wanted to dive into the seabed to catch scallops? When? Call your big brother!"
Zhou Chenglei: "Around eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
He hasn't dived to the bottom of the sea here for a long time, so there should be a lot of stuff there.
Zhou Chenglei saw a crab lying under the sand, with only a pair of eyes showing. He bent down and picked it up. It was a big flower crab.
If I pick a few more, it will be enough to make a pot of casserole shrimp and crab porridge for midnight snack tonight.
"There is also a crab here." Tian Caihua saw that the crab was not caught because she thought it was too troublesome and there was no meat.
Zhou Chenglei walked over and grabbed it.
Jiang Xia had already picked up a white sand clam, a scallop, and a conch, and threw them into the bucket, which made a noise.
Tian Caihua looked over and asked: "Why can't I find scallops and conchs?"
Jiang Xia bent down and picked up a conch: "Maybe you were just busy talking?"
Tian Caihua: “…”
Jiang Xia saw two scallops entangled in love again, and collected them!
When Tian Caihua saw it, she didn't bother to say anything and quickly picked it up!
…
The tide gradually receded, and they went further and further away.
The further we walked, the more scallops we found! Today's happiness was definitely given by the scallops! Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei had been picking for more than an hour and had already picked up a bag of goods in a snakeskin bag.
Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang also picked up most of the snakeskin bags.
Jiang Xia could hardly straighten his back.
Zhou Chenglei saw it and said: "Take a rest and stop picking up."
At this time, someone came over and asked, "Alei, what did you pick up in such a big bag?"
Zhou Chenglei: “Everything.”
She leaned over to take a look and said in surprise, "So many scallops?"
Then she turned around and called to her husband, son, and daughter-in-law: "Jiaxing, Guofeng, sister-in-law, come here quickly. There are a lot of scallops here! They are big and fat!"
Then, people who were picking snails on the beach came running over after hearing this.
The scallops inside are dried and become dried scallops, which can be sold for more than ten yuan per pound!
Tian Caihua's face turned black when she saw so many people running over. She couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Xia, "What is A Lei showing her? Look, so many people are running over here."
Jiang Xia looked for snail eyes on the beach without even looking up: "The beach is so big, we can't pick them all up. Come on, why bother about others? Sister-in-law, just hurry up and pick them up."
Tian Caihua still felt uncomfortable, "There are too many people, and the ones nearby have all been picked up. We have to walk further, so we will definitely not be able to pick up as many, and it will be tiring."
Jiang Xia said loudly to the people who came over: "Aunts, if you pick up scallops and dry them into dried scallops, you can sell them to me. I buy dried scallops."
Tian Caihua: “…”
Jiang Xia yelled and then said to Tian Caihua: "Okay, now they are helping us pick it up."
Tian Caihua: “…”
You can do it!
You are really good! A villager heard this and asked loudly: "Xiao Xia, really? You collect scallops?"
"Yes, I will. If you have any at home, please send them to my house. I will take as much as you have."
"Then I'll send it to your house later! I've saved half a pound."
"good!"
Everyone quickly split up to look for it.
Those who heard it from a distance also ran over.
Because the things Jiangxia buys are generally a little more expensive than the purchasing places, some are a few cents more expensive, and some are a dime or two more expensive, so everyone is happy to sell to her.
The people in the village really wanted Jiangxia to buy out all the purchasing places. (End of this chapter)
