Carrying several kilograms of sea snails, Bai Yu left the coastline where Hu Tao and the others were, satisfied. A few kilograms was enough for them to eat.
Bai Yu then wandered around the beach again, during which time he found several breathing holes and bulges with small flags stuck in them.
The breathing holes were of different sizes, as were the bulges. However, after seeing the same small flag, Bai Yu did not dig them all up to find out what they were, but left directly.
After all, Bai Yu could say he dug up one spot unintentionally, but if he dug up an entire area, especially after he met those people, it would be a bit hard to believe that it was unintentional.
While Bai Yu wasn't afraid of those people from before, he didn't want to cause trouble. He believed in prioritizing harmony, as peace brings wealth.
Besides, even if Bai Yu doesn't dig up the seafood that these people buried, he can still encounter other seafood.
For example, right now, Bai Yu followed the trail of the receding tide and found a small white flower on the beach, a small white flower about ten centimeters in diameter.
"Wow, such a big sea anemone, no one's dug it up? Was it just washed out by the sea, or is it just that no one has noticed it yet?"
When Bai Yu saw the anemone again, he specifically looked around it to see if there were any small flags. He was speechless because of the small flags, fearing that the anemone had also been buried by those same people.
Fortunately, he didn't see the small flag in the end, which should prove that the sea anemone is wild, right?
Bai Yu looked around, then quickly picked up a sand shovel and started digging. His speed and strength surprised even himself.
Ten seconds later, he held a shrunken sea anemone in his hand, then leveled the sand pit he had dug and left without looking back.
The entire process, from discovering the sea anemone to obtaining it and leaving, took only about a minute.
Only after getting far away from this place did Bai Yu have time to look at the sea anemone in her hand. Don't be fooled by how big the flower is when it unfolds.
But once it was dug out and shrunk into a ball, it was very small. Its head looked like a chrysanthemum, and when it shrunk up, it was wrinkled and looked ugly and disgusting.
"I wonder what's so delicious about this thing. I heard sea anemones are quite expensive. I wonder if there are any left here."
After putting the sea anemone into the bucket, he searched along the seawater trail again. Sure enough, there were quite a few sea anemones along the waterline. Within a short range of a few dozen meters, he dug out four sea anemones.
For this reason, Bai Yu was certain that these sea anemones could not have been buried here by humans, because it would have been extremely unwise to do so.
Firstly, sea anemones are not cheap. Buying so many sea anemones is not as good as buying more razor clams, whelks, scallops, etc., which are much more cost-effective than sea anemones.
Another point is that sea anemones are relatively unknown among seafood. They are indeed expensive, but not many ordinary people know that sea anemones are expensive. However, it is different for sea snails and razor clams. Everyone knows that the bigger these things are, the more expensive they are.
Half an hour later, just as Bai Yu was digging for sea anemones and walking further and further away, a raindrop the size of a bean hit his head with a 'plop'.
At that moment, it was as if the raindrops had flipped a switch. As Bai Yu looked up at the sky, swathes of raindrops began to fall from the sky. It was raining!
"Damn, why did this rain start so suddenly? They never give us any preparation time. I'm outta here."
Seeing the torrential rain pouring down overhead, Bai Yu grabbed her bucket and started running wildly back the way she came.
Because Bai Yu was so engrossed in digging for sea anemones, he ended up being quite far from where he had parked his electric scooter. By the time he returned to his parking spot, his clothes were completely soaked.
On the other hand, Wang Hai and his two companions were already waiting there in raincoats, hoping that Bai Yu would return to school together.
As for Hu Tao and the others, they left first. They didn't park their electric bikes here, so they didn't go with Bai Yu and the others.
"Brother Yu, you're finally back! If you hadn't come, we were about to come looking for you. Hurry up, the rain is going to get heavier and heavier. Let's go back to school."
Seeing Bai Yu return, Li Shuang stepped forward and handed him a raincoat, then turned the car around and prepared to leave.
"Don't rush, let's sell our catch first, then find a street food stall and fry the clams my cousin gave me. These are a rare treat; we can eat them while playing games when we get back to the dorm."
Under Bai Yu's arrangement, the four of them first rode their bikes to a nearby purchasing station. After queuing up to sell their catch, they found a food stall and cooked the clams.
Today's beachcombing trip was quite short, and the process wasn't particularly smooth; we encountered a group that was posing for a video.
However, Bai Yu's harvest today was quite good. The two catties of sea anemones brought him more than 100 yuan in profit. In addition, with the razor clams and scallops, he earned more than 200 yuan on this trip.
Well, this harvest doesn't seem like much, but it's actually quite a lot. For beachcombing, this is already a pretty good harvest.
After all, apart from sea anemones, Bai Yu didn't find any valuable seafood today. He did encounter quite a few crabs, but he released them all in the end because they were too small to be worth selling.
Among the four of them, Bai Yu's harvest was second. Lu Sheng actually made the most money selling the sea snails. He was lucky today and found a lot of sea snails on the beach, which he sold for three or four hundred yuan.
The other two are not as good as him. Compared to them, isn't two hundred yuan a lot?
When Bai Yu and the other three returned to their dormitory, it was already past five in the afternoon. They carried their dinner back with them.
"Brother Yu, we've really had some bad luck today. We were just going to the beach and it started pouring rain halfway through. The way back was so slippery that we all slipped and fell. Do you think we've just had a run of bad luck this time?"
That's right, just as Bai Yu and his three companions finished selling their catch and were looking for a food stall, their three electric bikes collided without them noticing, causing a huge crash that knocked them all over.
Fortunately, the four of them only tripped and fell; otherwise, they would have been in a similar situation to Li Shuang, as they were having bad luck today.
"Probably not. The four of us can't be called pure good people, but we're not bad people either. The fall we took today was purely an accident."
Alright, enough of that. Come on over and eat! Try these clams; I specifically asked the chef to add extra chili—they're really spicy and flavorful.
"No way, Brother Yu, are you doing this on purpose? Don't you know I'm from Guangdong? I can't eat spicy food. What am I supposed to do with so much chili?"
Amidst the noisy chatter of Bai Yu and his companions, the food they had packed and brought back was laid out on the table. After eating the first sea snail, Li Shuang only uttered two words before continuing to eat with his head down.
These two words sum it up: It's so delicious!
Spicy clams taste just like snails or razor clams; the meat is fresh and fragrant, and once you start eating one, you can't stop—you'll want to eat one after another.
Bai Yu had originally planned to save some of the three-pound sea snails for his gaming session that night, but he underestimated how delicious they were.
By the time dinner was finished, only a little soup remained of the three pounds of clams; the rest had been eaten completely.
After finishing dinner, Bai Yu and the other three tidied up and went to the classroom. They had two more evening self-study sessions to attend. Although it didn't really matter whether they went or not, they first had to show up in the classroom and sign in.
As Sunday came to an end, the next few days were filled with classes. Bai Yu spent her days going back and forth between the classroom, the playground, and the dormitory.
Occasionally, I'll take some time to stroll along the beach, go beachcombing, and earn some money.
On the evening of the 20th, Bai Yu and their counselor took a day off, and he left Ocean University with Wang Hai and Li Xue, embarking on the high-speed train back to Sanya.
Today is the 20th, and the next day, the 21st, will be Bai Yu's mother's birthday. He and Li Xue have to go home to celebrate Bai Yu's mother's birthday. Bringing Wang Hai along was at the other party's request. He said he was going to Bai Yu's family for a banquet, and he had also prepared a gift for Bai Yu's mother.
Trains run from Haikou to Sanya from morning till night. Bai Yu and his group arrived back in Sanya at just over 8 p.m., and got home at just 10 p.m.
At this time, Bai's parents and Bai Yue were still awake. When Bai Yu brought Li Xue home, the three of them were preparing ingredients for the next day.
