Bai Yu simply swung his flip-flops across the beach a couple of times and pulled out a large scallop. The key point is that the beach was dry, without any moisture at all.
If this kind of video were posted online, anyone who saw it would probably think it was fake. Viewers would even have to wonder if the creator was insulting their intelligence. Did the poster think that viewers couldn't tell it was staged?
But honestly, Bai Yu swears to God that this is not a staged photo; this scallop really was something Bai Yu got from the beach.
As for why the scallop ended up on the dry beach, Bai Yu said he had no idea either. Maybe it just went the wrong way when the tide went out?
Anyway, the current situation is that Wang Hai recorded this part, and whether Bai Yu uses it or not is up to him to decide.
"Brother Yu, we found a scallop as soon as we arrived at the beach. Does this mean we're lucky today? Are we going to strike it rich?"
Wang Hai didn't care about finding scallops on the dry beach; what he cared about was how much money he could make from beachcombing today. He was interested in money.
"Yes, we're definitely going to have a really good day. We're sure to make a small fortune. After we finish beachcombing, I'll take you to the county for a buffet. You can eat whatever you want, we'll eat until we're full and satisfied."
"Okay, then Hai-ge, I'll treat you to dinner today. You've always paid before, but this time it's my treat."
After putting the scallop into the plastic bucket, Wang Hai followed behind Bai Yu and said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to treat me to dinner today. I have to eat something good today."
Bai Yu didn't care about Wang Hai's offer to treat him to dinner. Anyway, the money from today's beachcombing would be in his hands first, and he would be the one to pay the bill in the end. As for whose money was used to pay the bill, or whether it was money from both of them, that was up to Bai Yu.
There's no need to explain it too clearly to Wang Hai, as he probably wouldn't understand anyway. As long as Bai Yu agrees, that's enough.
What happened next was even more amazing. Bai Yu walked ahead, and every two steps she took, she felt a hard spot under her feet, just like the feeling of stepping on a scallop.
This time, Bai Yu was smarter. He stopped using his slippers to rummage around and instead took out the sand shovel he received as a beginner's reward from his plastic bucket, which was also a beginner's reward.
Next, Bai Yu used a sand shovel to dig out various shellfish from the beach, including not only scallops, but also cat's eye snails, small sea snails, red clams, and so on.
There are many varieties, but the quantity of each variety is not large.
The largest of them was the hairy clam, which was almost the size of Bai Yu's fist. It was definitely a giant among shellfish.
In no time, the plastic bucket was filled with a layer of various scallops.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai always chose to go to places with few people when they went beachcombing; in other words, they would go wherever it was most remote.
Although a small population may mean limited resources, this doesn't matter to the Bai fishermen. They prefer the quiet of beachcombing, listening to the sounds of the waves and the sea breeze.
They certainly didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of middle-aged women gossiping about this and that while they were out gathering seafood, that would be too much of a nuisance.
As Bai Yu and Wang Hai arrived at a deserted beach, they immediately saw that the beach was covered with countless tiny holes, so dense that even people with trypophobia would probably be terrified.
Upon seeing these small holes, Bai Yu and Wang Hai immediately became interested. Neither of them had trypophobia, and they also knew what these small holes represented.
These are all the breathing holes of seafood, and judging from the appearance of these small holes, there should be a patch of razor clams under this beach.
"Brother Yu, these must be the breathing holes of razor clams! With so many razor clams, we're really going to make a fortune today!"
"Absolutely! Our luck has been off the charts today. If we don't get rich, who will?"
Brothers, let me introduce you to these small holes. These are the breathing holes left by the razor clams when they burrow into the sand. I believe you all know how to catch razor clams: just sprinkle salt into their breathing holes.
This method is only suitable when there is seawater in the breathing hole or the surrounding sand is very wet. At the very least, the salt we sprinkle in must be able to dissolve, otherwise the clams in these holes will not come out.
Luckily, we were fortunate enough to find some water on the beach. Next, I'll demonstrate how to catch razor clams using salt. A friendly reminder: the following footage is not suitable for those with trypophobia. If you have this symptom, please look away. Thank you for your cooperation.
Since Bai Yu is preparing to become a beachcombing blogger, he will definitely need to provide explanations when filming his videos. Rather than adding narration in post-production, Bai Yu prefers to narrate while filming.
Especially when listening to the sound of the waves at the seaside, Bai Yu felt as if the ocean was providing him with accompaniment, which made him feel exceptionally comfortable.
When Bai Yu was talking about these clam holes, he also asked Wang Hai to take a close-up of these holes. These holes are like pores, and the beach is like skin, which can really make people dizzy.
Bai Yu was well-prepared for catching razor clams. He had prepared an entire bottle of salt, and the holes in the bottle caps were already secured. He picked up the bottle and started spraying the salt into the holes of the razor clams.
As a fisherman who grew up by the sea, Bai Yu knew that although razor clams are marine creatures, they are not tolerant of high salt content. If the salt content of the burrow they live in exceeds their tolerance level, the razor clam's first reaction will be to leave the burrow and find a more comfortable environment.
As Bai Yu sprinkled salt over these holes, the salt grains released their salt content upon contact with water and flowed into the holes with the seawater.
Immediately afterwards, small bubbles began to rise from the razor clam holes in this area, as if something was about to escape from the holes. With a 'whoosh,' the first razor clam emerged from the hole.
It was as if a switch had been flipped, and razor clams began to emerge one after another from the remaining holes.
Seeing this, Bai Yu took the bottle and sprayed salt on the razor clams again, even though they had just started to emerge from their burrows.
To prevent them from burrowing back into their holes, adding more salt will force them out completely, at which point Bai Yu and his team will only need to collect the clams.
The bamboo clam gets its name from its resemblance to bamboo, and its shell is also similar in color to bamboo, mostly yellowish-brown or light yellow.
Its overall shape is similar to that of bamboo, both being slender and long.
Bai Yu discovered about fifty or sixty razor clams in this area, and these razor clams were quite large, with each one as thick as an adult's little finger.
The larger ones are even thicker than Bai Yu's thumb; these razor clams can be called the king of razor clams.
As for the razor clams that are as thick as a forearm that are circulating online, those are not domestic razor clams; they are foreign varieties.
In China, razor clams are at most about the thickness of two fingers, and a length of ten centimeters or so is considered large. Moreover, these kinds of razor clams are extremely rare.
As for the reason, well, we live in China, a land of delicious food; those who know, know.
