Chapter 145 The strong wind delivers
the express again Although the tide has not receded, many things are hiding here on the reef because of the huge waves.
There are quite a lot of small fish and shrimps, and also quite a few crabs.
Zhang Ze doesn't go fishing very often, only about a dozen times in his two lifetimes, but he still knows where there are a lot of things.
Basically, in low-lying areas with rocks and water, a lot of things can be found in the cracks under big rocks, and even some puddles are full of good stuff when you drain them.
As soon as Zhang Ze climbed to this side of the reef, he saw two stone crabs, quite large in size, eating a small fish in a small puddle under a reef opposite.
The stone crab has a hard shell, and its size and taste are far inferior to those of the blue crab, but out of the instinct of a beachgoer, Zhang Ze still stretched out his tongs and grabbed one of them.
The other one was so scared that it quickly raised its pincers to intimidate, while its eight legs slowly crawled to the side.
Zhang Zexian reached out and touched the stone crab on the fire tongs, then put it into the space and immediately clamped the one that was about to run away.
The use of fire tongs is no different from that of sea-catching tongs. The only disadvantage is that it is much heavier and not as light as sea-catching tongs.
Fortunately, Zhang Ze is very strong, so this weight is nothing to him.
The two stone crabs each provided a little experience value, and he kept them for the time being when his space became larger.
When you need to make a nest someday, these two stone crabs can just smash some stones together and they will become the best nesting material.
Then he continued to search forward and found marks of oysters being pried off on many reefs.
Zhang Ze knew that this might have something to do with him. His family was still collecting oysters. The company that provided them with oysters and scallops had gone somewhere to pry them apart. Anyway, all the larger ones here had been pried apart cleanly.
He also didn't see any larger scallops, they were picked up very cleanly.
But apart from these two things, there are still many other things.
In a very small puddle next to him that was only 30 centimeters wide, Zhang Ze found several hairy shrimps. Although they were not very big, it was still a new harvest.
More than half an hour passed in a flash, and he himself did not expect time to pass so quickly.
During this half hour, Zhang Ze found more than a dozen stone crabs, big and small, and collected them all into his space as nesting materials. After all, each crab adds a little experience value.
Some sword shrimps and white shrimps were also found in the puddle, and more than a dozen jumping fish were caught.
There was also a blue crab, five swimming crabs, and even an eight-ounce blue lobster and a blue spotted crab that was washed over by the waves and had scars all over its body.
Unfortunately, this blue spot is a bit small, weighing only a little over one pound.
We gained so much in just over half an hour, which is extremely lucky even in this day and age, thanks to the strong wind today.
The tide was receding, so Zhang Ze left the reef. He did not go over immediately, but rolled up his trouser legs and took off his shoes.
Placing his shoes on a rock, he took the colander from the bamboo basket and began to walk into the water.
I didn't walk too far before the sea water rushed up and stopped just below my knees, and then I used the colander to scoop directly into the sand.
He scooped up a spoonful of sand and shook his arms gently. The sand in the colander was washed out of the colander by the sea water, leaving only the slightly larger stones inside.
There was nothing, so Zhang Ze continued to fish.
Insert the colander into the sand, push it from left to right, then lift it up a little and use sea water to flush the sand down.
This time after the sand was washed clean, there were not only stones but also white clams.
The white clam is mainly white in color, with some yellow and black stripes on the edges.
Zhang Ze put the two white clams into the space and continued fishing.
The white clams were just as he expected, requiring a lot of them to increase a little experience value, which was equivalent to nothing for him. He couldn't possibly fish for them day and night just for a few experience points.
This time, it was pushed out to a distance of about one meter and then the sand was washed away, revealing three white clams inside.
It seems that he used the right method. He used the colander as a shovel, scooped it down and pushed it to the side for a distance, and basically he could find one or two.
The density of the white clams was even greater than he had imagined, and soon there were more than ten kilograms of them in his space.
He glanced at his watch. It was only 3:36 in the afternoon. He could work until 4:30 before going back.
Unconsciously, as the tide receded, Zhang Ze also walked a long distance towards the sea.
More and more things were caught on the beach, not only white clams, but also another type of larger clam.
Occasionally he would pick up a few snow clams and scallops, and he even picked up a few sea crucian carp for free.
This kind of sea-hunting is really fun, and you will gain something wherever you go.
Just then, a white stone was washed over by the waves and hit his calf.
Zhang Ze was stunned at first, then his pupils shrank when he reacted. He quickly used a colander to catch the white stone that was about to recede with the sea water.
What kind of stone can float on the sea, and it's white? It's obvious that it's the residue in the stomach of a whale!
Zhang Ze picked it up and smelled it closely, and indeed he smelled a peculiar fragrance.
"Hiss~ Yesterday the storm delivered takeout, today the strong wind delivered ambergris, so when will the next typhoon come?"
Zhang Ze was very excited. It was ambergris! It was the best quality one that had turned white. This piece of ambergris must have drifted in the sea for more than a hundred years, otherwise it would not be so white.
The freshly-made ambergris is black and has a fishy smell.
After all, it is whale poop, how can it not stink when it is fresh out of the oven? The only pity is that it is a little small in my hand, only the size of a fist.
Zhang Ze roughly weighed it and estimated that it was only about two hundred grams, so it could only be considered a small fortune.
He put the ambergris into the fishing space and let it continue to soak in the water.
It’s not cost-effective to sell it now, but he probably won’t be short of money to sell it in the future, so he will probably keep it for himself.
After digging for another half an hour, Zhang Ze harvested another 23 kilograms of white clams, 11 kilograms of Manila clams, and some other fish that were washed to his side by the waves. Then he picked up the bamboo basket and walked back.
It's half past four now, and he walks up the hill slowly, so it will probably be half past five when he gets home.
When we returned to the reef, the sea water on our feet was almost dry.
He brushed the sand off his feet, put on his shoes, and walked towards his bicycle.
He pushed the bicycle out of the bushes, hung the bamboo basket back, and then pushed the bicycle up the path.
The path is very narrow, and you can't ride a bicycle down from it because there are stairs in some places, but it's no problem to push the bicycle up, just a little tiring.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fortunately, this weight is not a problem for Zhang Ze, and Tong Shuyao even said that his physical strength is good.
It took him about twenty minutes to reach the main road above. The journey was much more convenient afterwards. He rode his bike very fast and arrived at the pier in just fifteen minutes.
Move the bicycle onto the fishing boat, lift one of the bamboo baskets into the cab, and then drive the boat back.
There were six people in the family, and Zhang Ze took out six small yellow croakers, twelve palm-sized tiger prawns, and three silver pomfret weighing one kilogram from the space.
He took less silver pomfret because he took into consideration that the women in the family and Zhang Wu were not as big eaters as he was, so he just cut it and put some in each bowl.
The jumping fish that were caught just now were also put into the bamboo basket. This thing tastes very delicious when fried in oil. The disadvantage is that the bones are too hard, and the taste is too bad if you eat it with the bones.
Two kilograms of white clams were taken out as embellishment, and sword shrimps, hairy prawns, and white shrimps were also taken out.
They were all caught just now, and there are not many of them.
We selected five blue crabs with red roe. Tong Shuyao couldn’t eat them, so we took out the lobsters we had just caught.
To cook noodles with so many ingredients, the cost of seafood alone would be more than fifteen hundred yuan in later times.
Suddenly remembering that the clams still had to spit out the sand, Zhang Ze stopped the boat, fetched some sea water, and put the two kilograms of white clams in to soak. They would slowly spit out the sand by themselves.
"I shouldn't have gout now, right?"
Zhang Ze, who was driving the boat, felt a little greedy at the thought of eating so much seafood in the evening, but he was also a little worried about another problem.
Gout had tortured him badly in his previous life, but after drinking the spiritual spring in this life, he probably wouldn't have gout again! When he got home, it was already past five forty in the evening.
Zhang Wu had returned from school a long time ago and was now doing his homework.
"Why did you come back so late?" Zhang's mother said in a somewhat annoyed tone, then looked at his bamboo basket, "Oh, you caught so many?"
"It was windy today and everything was blown onto the shore. There were originally more, but I saw a fishing boat coming back so I took some things and exchanged them for a few small yellow croakers and silver pomfret."
"Is that so? The three fresh noodles you mentioned are made with these?"
"Yes, but the ingredients can be replaced. The small yellow croaker is the key."
Zhang Ze said as he took out everything inside and dealt with it.
"Mom, you should learn how to make this three-fresh noodle. If it tastes good, we won't grill oysters and scallops anymore, and we won't make spiced blue crabs anymore. We can just open a noodle shop."
Zhang Huihong's eyes lit up and she thought this was reliable.
The five-spice blue crab is too easy to imitate, so the business is getting worse and worse. Grilled oysters and scallops are no longer mainstream, and some people in the market have already developed garlic paste with a similar taste, so the business is also not doing well.
Fish balls are selling well these two days, but making fish balls does not require any technical skills, and if you can do it, others can do it too.
Zhang Huihong feels that it will be difficult for others to imitate the three-fresh noodles now.
The kitchen for cooking noodles will be inside, so no one can see how she cooks them.
If you can tell how a bowl of noodles is cooked simply by eating it, you must be a top chef. Others would not bother to learn from you!
Then Zhang Huihong came to her son and began to learn with great interest.
"Son, where did you learn how to make this three-fresh noodle?"
"I didn't learn it. I made a seafood stew when I was making supper on the boat. It tasted surprisingly good. Ahang and the others all rushed to eat it."
"I used three kinds of seafood and cooked them with vermicelli, so I named it Three Fresh Vermicelli."
Zhang Huihong was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her son had figured it out by accident.
If Zhang Ze hadn't made a lot of money going out to sea now, she would have considered letting her son learn cooking and become a great chef. He obviously has a talent for cooking!
