Snake led Bai Yu and Wang Hai toward the sea, and as they walked, they came to a sparsely populated rocky beach.
Upon seeing the rocky beach, Bai Yu knew that Snake hadn't brought them to the wrong place; they were sure to find something here.
Even though Bai Yu and his group are not currently in China, and this is Bai Yu's first time visiting this rocky beach that Snake and his group came to, the living habits of lobsters and crabs on the beach are the same regardless of the type.
When the tide goes out, seafood on the beach will lie on the sand to avoid attacks from seabirds and the scorching sun.
The seafood near the rocky beach has a wider selection, and there are also more places to hide.
Unlike a sandy beach, a rocky beach is not flat as far as the eye can see.
The rocky beach is full of rock pits and crevices, which are excellent hiding places for seafood stranded on the beach.
Even for many types of seafood, they naturally live on these rocky beaches and never leave, regardless of whether the tide is high or low.
This is the main reason why fishermen along the coast like to go to the rocky beach to collect seafood; the resources there are truly abundant.
For Bai Yu and his companion, the rocky beach was much more familiar; coming here felt like returning home.
Bai Yu led Wang Hai forward, but before he could take two steps, he saw a black shadow flash past him.
"Wow, the resources here are pretty good! We haven't even started beachcombing yet, and we've already found a huge crab. We'll have to put it on the grill tonight!"
That's right, what just flashed by was a crab, a large blue crab that walks sideways but moves incredibly fast.
Putting everything else aside, just the speed of this giant blue crab is enough to show that it has plenty of energy, and it must be living a very comfortable life on the rocky beach.
Of course, Bai Hao didn't take the large blue crab that passed in front of him seriously. His talk of putting it on the grill was just talk.
Bai Yu thought that they would definitely have grilled crab tonight, but it didn't have to be this one. They could have had other blue crabs too.
"Bai Yu, our area is not only rich in resources for beachcombing, but also in near-shore resources. If you have time recently, I can take you diving and catch lobsters in the near-shore waters."
"Oh, diving? You can dive here? Does the town have diving equipment?"
"Of course we have it. Don't underestimate us just because we're a small town. We have everything here. In your Chinese terms, it's small but complete."
"No matter what you're looking for, as long as it's not too obscure, I can definitely find it for you, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Wow, Snake, your Chinese is pretty good! I thought you were only good at Mandarin. You even know that 'a sparrow is small but has all its internal organs'! Awesome!"
"Absolutely, I'm a Chinese literature major, and I study Chinese."
To be honest, Bai Yu felt very happy communicating with Snake. It didn't feel like chatting with a foreigner at all; instead, it felt like communicating with other Chinese people.
Then, in this pleasant atmosphere, Bai Yu and his two companions stepped onto the rocky beach, searching for their prey.
"Bai Yu, Bai Yu, come quick! I found a lobster!"
Just as Bai Yu was diligently searching for Poron on the rocky beach, he heard Snake's voice behind him. He immediately picked up his bucket and walked towards the direction from which the voice came.
Bai Yu didn't particularly care about eating the Boston lobster, but he really wanted to catch it.
There was no other reason than that he had never caught a wild lobster in the wild before, and he wanted to experience that feeling.
What? You said you saw online that someone caught a lobster while beachcombing in the wild, and that it was even caught in our own waters?
You know what, it's not just you who's seen it; I've seen it too. The porpoise that person caught in the wild was incredibly clever. When it saw people, it not only didn't run away, but it even tied up its big pincers beforehand, just in case it hurt the humans who came to catch it.
Let alone lobsters, netizens have even caught giant razor clams as thick as an arm. This generation of netizens can catch anything on the beach; there's nothing they can't do.
When Bai Yu arrived at Snake's side, Snake pointed to a cave in the rocks and said to Bai Yu:
"Bai Yu, this is a lobster hole. I just saw a lobster run into it. You wanted to catch a lobster, so you can catch this one."
"That's so kind of you, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Bai Yu listened to Snake's words and was only polite in words, but he didn't stand on ceremony with his hands. He immediately squatted down and prepared to take the lobsters.
However, before digging, he first checked the condition of the lobster hole and then decided on the specific method of operation.
This rock cave is a sloping cave that runs from top to bottom. The entrance is not very wide, only about ten centimeters wide, and the depth is not yet visible.
When Bai Yu crouched down to look, he only saw a Pomeranian head and two pincers in the cave; the rest of the space was blocked by the Pomeranian.
The porpoise wasn't too far from the cave entrance, only a dozen centimeters away, making it within Bai Yu's reach.
However, when faced with this Botswana, Bai Yu did not immediately try to catch it. It wasn't that Bai Yu was soft-hearted; it was mainly because the creature's two large pincers were positioned at the entrance of its hole, making Bai Yu feel somewhat at a loss.
I want to catch it, but I'm afraid this guy will pinch me!
Wild Boston lobsters are nothing like the ones you buy at the seafood market. Not only are their tongs already tied on, but they're also not very active. Even if you put your hand out to them to grab, they might not grab you.
But wild Pomeranians are different. Their pincers are not bound, and they usually rely on these two big pincers to eat, so they are very powerful.
As long as Bai Yu dares to put his hand in front of this lobster, the guy will not hesitate to grab it and let Bai Yu know what the attack power of a lobster is!
As for how to deal with this Bohai Dragon, Bai Yu naturally had his own method, which was to first take a stick or something and keep the guy's pincers busy, so that it could clamp the stick first.
Finding a stick on the rocky beach is relatively easy. Even if you can't find a white fish, there's a way: use its crab claws. Just stick this thing into its claws and let it hold the crab claws in place.
Bai Yu did just that. He used crab tongs, placed them next to the guy's pincers, and teased it slightly. The guy then clamped the crab tongs with one swipe.
Then Bai Yu changed the crab-catching tongs slightly and took the guy out of the hole, just like that, all fresh and clean.
Bai Yu originally thought it would take a long time to deal with this Bolong, but who knew it would be so easy in the end, and he caught the guy in no time.
When Bai Yu took it out completely, he saw its exact size.
There are several ways to calculate the size of a lobster. Some people lay its claws flat and measure from the tip to the tail.
Some measurements only count from the head to the tail of this creature, excluding the length of its pincers.
Bai Yu looked down on both of these algorithms. His method of calculating the size of a single lobster was simply to determine the size of the lobster and then classify it into different grades based on its weight.
The lobster in his hand was quite large; Bai Yu estimated it weighed at least a pound.
If this were in China, it would sell for one or two hundred yuan. In a restaurant, it could sell for three or four hundred yuan.
If you were in Bai Yu's hometown, Sanya, and you came across a rip-off seafood restaurant, they might charge you six or seven hundred yuan or even more for just one Boston lobster.
That's why, even though Bai Yu is from Sanya, he has never promoted his hometown on social media. Some people's behavior is just too disgusting!
Afterwards, Bai Yu and his two companions strolled around the rocky beach for a while before packing up and heading back around 4 p.m. local time.
When Snake brought Bai Yu and Bai Yu back to his house, Bai Yu saw that a bonfire had been lit in Snake's yard. Next to the bonfire were several barbecue grills and long tables, which were filled with all kinds of food.
Seeing the situation in the courtyard, Bai Yu and Wang Hai reacted very differently.
Bai Yu never expected that the Snake family would value the two brothers so much, even setting up a bonfire for them and inviting many relatives and friends to have dinner together.
Wang Hai was simply hungry. Looking at the various foods on the table next to him—meat, seafood, desserts, and fruits—it was such a feast that it made him hungry.
Was this bonfire party specially prepared for Bai Yu and his brother?
There's no need to overthink this; it's inevitable. Based on Snake's years of studying abroad, his family has shown great friendliness towards Chinese people.
At the same time, they also have their own social media accounts on domestic platforms. They are very dedicated to entertaining Chinese people and will also post videos on social media platforms both domestically and internationally.
Bai Yu was aware of this, but he didn't say much. Society is inherently based on mutual benefit.
The Snake family hosted him, and he cooperated in filming some videos without any problem.
