Chapter 416 Alien Species
Jiang Xia found a big hole, which looked a bit like the rat holes she usually saw in the fields, so she was a little afraid to stick her head out to take a look.
She heard that snakes and rats live together in the same nest, so she was afraid that there was a snake in it.
Jiang Xia held Zhou Chenglei's hand and said, "What kind of hole is this? A rat hole?"
Zhou Chenglei took her hand and took a look at it.
"Crab hole."
He squatted down and looked inside. Sure enough, there was a big blue crab in the hole: "There's a crab."
Jiang Xia also squatted down, crouched down, and looked sideways: "What a big blue crab!"
A wild blue crab this big costs two to three hundred yuan nowadays.
"Yeah." Zhou Chenglei took a shovel and dug the sand at the entrance of the hole.
Blue crabs are nutritious. I catch them and steam them for her to eat at night.
I haven’t eaten crabs in Jiangxia for a long time. Crabs are relatively cold, so it’s okay to eat one or two occasionally.
Jiang Xia squatted beside him and watched.
In the cave, the big blue crab held up its two big claws, ready for battle!
As a result, a handful of sand fell and buried it! After Zhou Chenglei dug the hole, he shoveled it out with a shovel and threw it aside.
The big blue crab ran away holding up its two big claws.
"I'll catch it!"
After hearing this, Zhou Chenglei shoveled some mud and sand with a shovel and covered the crab's eyes to block its vision.
Jiang Xia immediately reached out from its back, grabbed its shell and picked it up.
The big blue crab regained its sight and raised its big claws again.
Jiang Xia threw it into the net bag.
The couple continued to move forward picking up ribbons and conches.
Still one person was using a hoe to pry, while another was bending down to pick it up.
Zhou Chenglei also saw the hole of the bone eel, but because he was afraid that Jiang Xia would be scared, he did not catch it and pulled her away.
Jiang Xia didn't see it and didn't know anything about it.
As he was picking up the mushrooms, Jiang Xia saw a green mussel clinging to a piece of rotten wood.
Jiang Xia picked it up and said, "Zhou Chenglei, what do you think this is?"
Zhou Chenglei took a look and said, "Haihong."
Clams, also known as green lip mussels or mussels, are introduced species. Some people in the north have already farmed them, and they are mainly exported, where they sell very well.
I heard it is easy to raise and has a high yield.
But Zhou Chenglei had never seen the sea area on their side.
Jiang Xia pulled the clams off the rotten wood.
The clams have byssus, which are tightly attached to the wood. Jiang Xia had to use some effort to pull them off and threw them into the bucket.
"Do you think these mussels came from the northern seas, or do they also grow in the seas near us?"
Zhou Chenglei: "We need to see if there are many on this beach. If there are many, it is probably because the sea around here has also grown sea snails."
So the two of them continued walking forward and picked up two or three more clams.
Zhou Chenglei: "I guess there are also sea snails growing in our area."
"Well, next time we'll go look for it on the rocky cliffs of the nearby islands."
Jiang Xia had an idea. She wanted to collect some young mussels, rent a beach in the village, and build some wooden stakes to raise these mussels.
Mussels have a strong reproductive capacity and can lay millions or even tens of millions of eggs at a time.
There can be a harvest in one year.
You can also build some oyster piles, hang oysters on top and raise mussels below.
"good."
After picking up the wood for another half an hour, Zhou Chenglei was worried that the tide would rise and he would have to hoist the agarwood onto the boat, so he said, "Is that all for today? I'm afraid the tide will rise soon."
"Okay." There are only a few hours between low tide and high tide, so it should be high tide soon.
Don't cheat the mountains or the water. It is impossible to accurately predict when the tide will rise, so people who go to the beach have to pay attention to whether the tide is rising while they go.
When the tide is high, you have to leave quickly.
Although the tide has not yet risen, it will be a bit late to return to the boat after the tide rises.
Zhou Chenglei tied up the bags on the beach with ropes and carried them on his shoulders with a hoe. He held the hoe handle with one hand and carried the bamboo chair and wooden board with the other.
He first took all these things onto the boat, then went back to the beach and carried Jiang Xia onto the boat.
Then he and Zhou's father lifted the giant piece of agarwood onto the boat.
Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua also helped, and after a while, they finally got the big guy on the boat.

While the huge tree was being lifted, the tide was slowly rising.
After getting the giant tree onto the boat, Zhou Chenglei drove away.
Father and Mother Zhou continued to clean the wood.
Tian Caihua also helped.
If they clean it cleaner, they can sell it for more money, so they want to wash it spotlessly.
Jiang Xia was hungry and sat there eating.
The wood had been nearly cleaned, and the aroma was much better without the smell of sea mud.
The sea area we went to this time was quite far away, and the boat took more than two hours to return to the dock.
It is the time when hundreds of ships are returning home, and the dock is still as bustling as ever today.
After Zhou Chenglei parked the boat, he took Jiang Xia home first. He wanted to go back and drive a tractor to transport the wood back home.
Zhou's father and mother stayed at the dock to sell fish.
The first wife, the second wife, Zhou Yongguo and Zhou Kangping's boats have also returned and are still at the dock. They can help move the fish to the purchasing office to sell.
Zhou Bingqiang saw the big piece of wood on their boat and couldn't help laughing: "Yongfu, are you pulling such a big piece of wood back to make fungus?"
Father Zhou said proudly, "You are right! I picked up this wood to make wood ears. And it is golden wood ears, the best gold!"
Some villagers also joked: "Yongfu, are you out of firewood at home? If you are short of firewood, come to my house and take some back! I have plenty of wood at home. Why bother to go to the sea to get firewood! It's so heavy that I'll lose all the fuel to transport it back!"
"Didn't your family just finish building a new house? There should be a lot of wood left over from the floor slabs? Isn't that enough?"
"Haha, you're right. My family is short of "wealth", especially short of it. So the sea brought me "wealth"! Once this wealth is burned, it will definitely be prosperous!"
The first time he went out to sea in the new year, he picked up a huge piece of firewood. Father Zhou thought it was a very good omen! From now on, this year will definitely be a huge firewood! Definitely a wealth of money! The source of wealth will roll in!
Father Li jumped onto the Zhou family's boat, lowered his head and got close to the giant tree to smell it, then looked at Father Zhou in disbelief, "My dear relatives, did you fish up a piece of agarwood?"
He looked at it and couldn't believe it at first, but the smell was unmistakable! Zhou's father said with a smile: "You are a good judge of goods, my dear! Today, when we were fishing, A Lei's wife accidentally found this huge tree on the beach. I didn't expect it to be agarwood."
Zhou Bingqiang: “…”
Father Li: “…”
"Did you find it while fishing at the beach?" Father Li couldn't help but ask.
Father Zhou smiled and said, “Yes!”
Father Li: “…”
If I had known, he would have gone to the beach too! Tian Caihua was feeling sad. She was picking up ribbons next to the wood and didn’t realize it was agarwood. She missed it! So she wished someone was as sad and upset as her: "Yes! It was lying on the beach. We saw it before we even got off the boat! We didn’t know it was agarwood. It was Xiaoxia who was sitting next to the wood to rest and smelled the fragrance, and then we discovered it! You are really good, you recognized it as agarwood at a glance."
If you want to feel bad, feel bad together, if you want to regret, regret together! She feels like she missed out on a million! Didn’t Li Xiuxian’s father work in a lumber mill?
If he also went to the beach to catch seafood, he would definitely recognize that this was agarwood at first glance, right?
