The two chatted and soon arrived at their destination.
Zheng Gan looked at this place and shuddered involuntarily, and his childhood memories instantly appeared in his mind.
"Let's go, brother." Seeing Zheng Gan stop, Lin Hao turned around in confusion, then said with a smirk, "Are you still scared now? Hahaha."
"Get out of here, who the hell is scared? I'm just reminiscing about the past, you know nothing." Zheng Gan quickly threw away the terrible memories in his mind and forced himself to walk ahead.
Below the cliff on the west side is a large reef area, which is usually not visible because the tide is too high. It only appears during low tide.
This area is shown with many red dots on Zheng Gan’s map. Even if you are afraid, you have to go there, because it costs money.
"Why is there nothing here?" Lin Hao groped around for a while and found that there were only some ordinary tower snails and spicy snails. There was not even a large conch. He felt very disappointed in an instant.
When he turned around, he saw Zheng Gan squatting there fiddling with something, so he walked over curiously.
"What are you doing here, bro?"
Zheng Gan didn't say anything. After watching for a while, he took out a small shovel, picked up something from the reef, and handed it to him.
Lin Hao carefully examined the small object in his hand and said uncertainly, "Is this a general's cap?"
"Yes, it's the general's hat. This should be our harvest tonight." Zheng Gan raised his head and looked at the surrounding reefs and laughed.
"Brother, although this thing has been seen less frequently in recent years, it is not worth much money. In the early years, it was used to feed ducks." Lin Hao was speechless. He thought it was some good thing.
"You know shit," Zheng Gan cursed. "General's caps are becoming increasingly rare these days. In the south, they can cost two or three hundred yuan a pound, and those are the small ones. These are so big, they'll definitely cost over three hundred yuan."
Recently, when he had nothing to do, he went online to check the prices of seafood, and he had some understanding of it. Moreover, the sizes of these general caps on the map were very impressive. This map couldn't be deceiving him.
Lin Hao listened to the number of over three hundred and instantly became alert. He turned around, found a reef and started digging.
The General's Hat is actually a kind of conch, scientifically known as the conch, also known as the stone servant or the earth abalone. The shape of its shell is similar to the hat of the generals of the Qing Dynasty, hence the name.
It usually weighs less than five cents, and the largest one is only an inch in diameter. The larger it is, the higher the price.
In recent years, general hats have become less and less available, so the price has skyrocketed, especially in the south. Many people eat this thing. It only needs to be simply steamed and it tastes very delicious.
However, this kind of seafood is difficult to get. It is firmly stuck to the reef and needs to be removed with a small shovel or a knife. Maybe this is one of the reasons why it is expensive.
"Brother, do you think people nowadays are all a little sick? What's so good about this tattered general's hat?" Picking at this thing was a bit boring. After doing it for a while, Lin Hao wanted to chat with Zheng Gan to relieve his boredom.
Zheng Gan turned his back to Lin Hao and said, "You know what I mean. People nowadays are rich. The more bizarre and strange things are, the more they are considered treasures. For example, take that gooseneck barnacle. What the hell is that? And how much can it be sold for?"
"Oh, I see. Does this mean they have money to burn?" Lin Hao suddenly realized.
Zheng Gan also deeply agreed with this. If you don’t have money to burn, then what else can you do?
"Brother, why am I a little hungry?" After working for a while, Lin Hao felt his period again.
"No, brother, did you eat three big steamed buns tonight?" Zheng Gan was almost going crazy. The steamed buns here were not the small ones in the south. Each one was huge. How long had it been since he had just finished his meal? He was already hungry?
"There are wild oysters on the reef. You can pick some and eat them."
There are many wild small oysters on this kind of reef, which taste very fresh. People living on the beach usually get some as snacks when they have nothing to do while fishing.
"Brother." Soon Lin Hao wanted to say something again.
"What the hell, what are you going to do again?" Zheng Gan was angry. Normally, this kid wouldn't say a word even if he was beaten with three sticks, but why was he talking so much today?
"Cough cough cough, it's okay, it's okay." Seeing that Zheng Gan was a little angry, Lin Hao shrank his head, swallowed the words in his mouth, and moved towards Zheng Gan.
"Huh?" Zheng Gan was stunned when he saw this, then burst into laughter, "I finally understand. Are you scared?"
Every time he went to the beach to play, he would feel bored and go to Lin Hao to chat. But today, it was Lin Hao who came to chat with him, and he was so close to him. It was obvious that this guy was scared.
"Hehe." Lin Hao scratched his head. "I am a little scared. The waves here are too big, and the wind is strong. I always feel like there is something wandering around us."
Wow, one is afraid of ghosts and the other is afraid of his previous experiences. They are really the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick.
"Go away. You keep thinking about those messy things. There are no ghosts in this world." Zheng Gan said this, but he swallowed his saliva quietly. Then he glanced at the map casually and found that it was full of motionless red dots. Only then did he feel relieved.
No matter how much they played around, the two of them still sped up to get the general's hat. After all, the low tide would not last long, and they had to hurry, otherwise they would probably be trapped here.
Three hours passed quickly. Zheng Gan looked at the sea water that had reached his calves and knew that this was all he could do today. Although there were still a lot of general hats around that he had not finished dealing with, his life was more important.
"Let's go, Mouse. If we delay any longer, it will be too late."
Lin Hao had wanted to leave for a long time. If it weren't for so much money, he would have run away long ago. Now that he heard that Zheng Gan was leaving, he packed up his things and ran away as quickly as possible.
The two of them dug up more than 100 kilograms of general's hats in more than three hours one night. It was a good harvest, but two-thirds of the general's hats were left in the reef area. I don't know if they will be here next time I come.
However, judging from the nature of the map, these general hats will basically be refreshed.
Although the two men were carrying a general's cap weighing more than 100 kilograms, their speed was much faster than when they came. Lin Hao was so scared that he almost ran away, and later he was dragging Zheng Gan along while walking quickly.
After finally arriving at the parking lot, Zheng Gan was almost collapsing. He was gasping for breath and wanted to scold Lin Hao but was too tired to say anything.
After I recovered, I called Xiao Yu from Dongqiang Aquatic Products and asked him if he was in the village. If he was, I would send it to him directly. It is better not to keep seafood overnight, after all, they don’t have the conditions to preserve it.
