Chapter 296
After eating and drinking, Chen Kangping began to think about where to take the father and daughter to play. It was neither early nor late, and the exhibition halls would close soon after they had been there, so it would be better to go tomorrow.
But he couldn't just sit here and waste time, so he decided to take the father and daughter to Baihutou Beach first.
When Su Miao once again stepped onto the soft sand and flat tide of the Baihutou Beach, he had a very wonderful feeling in his heart.
In her previous life, she came here with her classmates when she was in college in 1995. At that time, Baihutou Beach had been redeveloped and renamed the famous "Pearl City Silver Beach".
Chen Kangbo solemnly cleared his throat and explained to them in what he thought was a very standard broadcasting voice, "This is the Baihutou Beach that attracts countless tourists. From the perspective of the entire terrain, the white sand beach near the sea looks like a giant white tiger with its mouth open, hence the name.
"Ah! Look! The sand here is white, smooth, and soft, the beach is vast, and the water sparkles like a sapphire gift from heaven. Lush forests line the beach, creating a dense green canopy. The glittering sand and the bright white waves form a stark contrast. Where else in the world can you find such a scene? It only exists here!"
"Puchi! Hahahaha!"
His serious and affectionate look made the father and daughter laugh out loud.
Su Miao asked, "Uncle Chen, where did you carry all this from?"
Chen Kangping said bewilderedly, "Huh? Doesn't it look like those tour guides? This is what my son wrote in his composition. I think it's better than what those tour guides said."
"Brother Chen, can you still recite your son's composition?" Su Yuanzheng asked curiously.
Chen Kangping said proudly: "Yes! I can recite all the essays my son has written since elementary school. Isn't it amazing!"
This made Su Yuanzheng, who always thought he was the best father, feel that he had lost this game. No, he had to go back and memorize his daughter's composition!
But my daughter never shows him her composition!
Got it! A magazine article! Isn't that his daughter's work? He'll memorize it right away when he gets home!
Although the Baihutou Beach at that time was not yet as prosperous as it would be a decade later, it still attracted quite a few tourists.
Some nearby villagers brought plastic tables and chairs and large parasols and placed them on the beach. Tourists in need can rent them from them for 1 yuan for 3 hours. Generally, most of them are rented by tourists traveling in groups.
A big round watermelon costs 50 cents. After you pay, they will cut it for you and bring it to the table on a tray. It is so comfortable to eat the watermelon while feeling the sea breeze.
At this time, the beach has become increasingly open, and many tourists are playing on the beach in swimsuits with very little fabric.
Some people who are not so good at swimming rented lifebuoys and floats, bravely rushed into the rough sea, and challenged the unknown deep waters, while those who are good at swimming chose to jump directly into the sea.
Su Miao, a landlubber, was both envious and frightened. He thought they were really brave. Nowadays, scenic spots have not been developed in a standardized manner, and there are no professional lifeguards. If someone really falls into the sea, it will be too late to rescue them.
The three of them took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and walked towards the sea. The sand here was mud-free and extremely pure. The sand was as white as snow, as fine as fat, and as soft as cotton.
Under the shining sunshine, the endless beach sparkles with dazzling silver light, like a silver ribbon extending to the horizon.
The jewel-blue sea merges with it, together creating a breathtakingly unique and magnificent picture that is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
When it reached the place washed by the sea water, small holes began to appear on the wet sand.
Su Yuanzheng asked curiously, "What are these holes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a small and cute crab came out with a swoosh, ran forward in a domineering manner, then paused for a moment and burrowed back into the sand.
Su Yuanzheng exclaimed: "Wow! There are such small crabs? They are as big as cockroaches."
"Dad, your analogy... I think the little sand crab might not like it. It seems that this is really one of the smallest crabs in the world."
Chen Kangping laughed heartily. "Miaomiao is right. This is a sand crab. Don't be fooled by its small size. It digs holes very quickly and hides in the sand in a second. They live on the beach all the time. They run around all day, digging holes and burrowing."
Where they walked to, many small sand crabs ran out of their holes, then after running for a while, they hurriedly dug a hole and crawled back in.
Su Yuanzheng ran a few steps quickly and tried to step on one of them with his foot, but he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the little thing digging the hole.
"Hey! They're quite busy. Luckily they're small and don't have much meat, otherwise the tourists would have caught and eaten them long ago."
"Eat! Why don't you eat!"
Su Yuanzheng was stunned and said in disbelief, "It's so small that it's not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth. Should I eat it with the shell or without it?"
Chen Kangping slapped his head and said, "Oh no! I just missed this dish and didn't make it for you! Sand crab sauce! This is our special sauce here. It's delicious when used to stir-fry, stew, or dip in boiled chicken. Every family in our village makes this.
We had dinner early just now, so we must have a midnight snack tonight. Then I’ll make you some braised beans in sand crab sauce.”
Su Miao had heard of sand crab juice, but had never tasted it. He thought he would try it for tonight's midnight snack.
She was stepping on the water and sand, feeling the impact of the sea water surging up and the pull of the sea water receding. Su Yuan was taking pictures beside her.
"Miao Miao! Take a picture on this swing! The owner is from our village, and we've already made an agreement with him. It doesn't cost any money!"
There is a small swing decorated with artificial flowers on the beach, where tourists can sit on it and take pictures. The owner is standing by with a waist bag on his shoulder. However, there is no photo service at that time, so you need to bring your own camera.
Many female tourists have no resistance to such flower swings. Even if it costs 60 cents for one person to sit on it and take a few photos, they are willing to spend money.
Strike a beautiful pose on it and ask your friends to help take a few more photos as souvenirs.
Su Miao had taken pictures when she came here in her previous life. At that time, they didn’t have a camera, so they asked the boss to take pictures of them with a Polaroid camera, and it cost 8 yuan per picture!
At that time, she thought that the boss was really rich. She didn’t know if it was this one, as she couldn’t remember what he looked like.
Su Yuanzheng let his daughter sit on it, took several photos from different angles, and then said to the swing owner, "Thank you so much, brother!"
The boss waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, we're all friends!"
After a while, the sun began to set, and the sunlight slowly turned orange and yellow, shining on people's bodies, making them sparkle.
Su Yuanzheng handed the camera to Chen Kangping and asked him to take a photo of himself and his daughter with their backs to the sea and happy smiles on their faces in the sunset.
