Beautiful underwater world
Thinking about going scuba diving to catch seafood today, Chen Zhiyao woke up early, before the alarm clock even went off.
As soon as the door opened, Ah Huang and Xue Tuan stood guard on either side of the door like loyal protectors.
Ah Huang and Xue Tuan, who were sound asleep, looked up in confusion when they heard the door open and stared at her blankly.
After being spanked twice, Xue Tuan has finally become a little more sensible and didn't rummage through the trash can today.
Looking at the clean floor, Chen Zhiyao felt deeply gratified.
Good morning, Ah Huang!
Good morning, little snowball!
In a good mood, Chen Zhiyao happily squatted down, petting a cute little dog with one hand.
"Woof woof woof... ( ˉ???ˉ?? )?"
"Awoooooo...?"
"So cute!"
Chen Zhiyao smiled and rubbed the dog hair a couple more times, then went into the bathroom to wash up with her hands full of dog hair.
After their little master left, the brother and sister lazily lay down again to continue sleeping.
In the dead of winter, taking a nap is the most comfortable thing to do.
After getting herself ready, Chen Zhiyao took two diving suits from inside the house and went downstairs.
"Dad, I bought two of the latest diving suits when I went to Guangzhou last time. Let's go diving and catch seafood today!"
Chen Weiqiang dotes on his daughter; it's just diving in the sea, nothing difficult, so he readily agreed.
"Sure, there's a coral reef behind Seagull Island with lots of seafood. Let's go there today."
Grandpa Chen was a little jealous when he saw that his granddaughter had only bought a diving suit for his son and not for herself, and said sourly:
"Tangtang, where's mine?"
Before Chen Zhiyao could speak, Grandma Chen glared at him.
"You're all so old, why are you still diving? Hurry up and eat breakfast and go out to work."
The old man was furious but dared not speak out.
Grandpa Chen will be 68 years old in a few months. To be honest, his family doesn't dare let him go into the water to catch fish.
The sea area that Chen Zhiyao and the others are going to today is behind Seagull Island, and it only takes 40 minutes by boat to get there.
The father and daughter changed into their diving gear and tied a small shoulder bag around their waists.
This small crossbody bag contains scissors, a warning shot to alert others in case of danger, and several large net bags.
There are many seaweeds growing on the seabed, and these soft seaweeds can easily entangle people, so it is essential to bring a small pair of scissors.
Grabbing harpoons and tongs, the father and daughter went into the water together.
The sea here is close to the land, and the water is only twenty or thirty meters deep. The two of them quickly went down to the seabed.
The father and daughter arrived at a coral reef with many strange and wonderful corals, inhabited by all sorts of marine life.
Chen Zhiyao took out a net and looked up to see a jellyfish chasing a small fish.
jellyfish
Jellyfish take up space and aren't worth much, so Chen Zhiyao only glanced at them before turning around and walking to a patch of coral.
The headlamp provided by the system was very powerful; under its light, the originally dark seabed became bright.
Hidden within this coral reef are many beautiful sea fish.
She didn't disturb the little one inside, but quietly approached.
In less than a minute, a spiky fish with deep blue fins and tail emerged happily from the coral.
Chen Zhiyao raised the harpoon in her hand and thrust it forward with force.
Spinetail +1
Spinetail
The fish was quite pretty, and Chen Zhiyao looked at it a few more times before putting it into the net in her hand.
Then she saw a fish hiding in the nearest piece of coral, peeking furtively.
The coral had a unique shape, making it difficult to pierce directly with a harpoon, so she gently tapped the edge of the coral a few times.
Soon, the frightened fish emerged from the coral on their own.
This fish has green patterns on its body and looks rather dull; it's clearly a bluefin wrasse.
Chen Zhiyao moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the harpoon had already pierced the fish's body.
Bluefin bream +1
Immediately afterwards, a particularly beautiful fish swam slowly from behind the coral.
The fish was very beautiful, but she couldn't quite remember what kind of fish it was. However, it probably wasn't a protected animal.
And since the fish came to her doorstep, she naturally wouldn't let it go.
Beautiful sea fish
Chen Zhiyao put the beautiful sea fish into the net bag as well.
Only then did she realize that the two fish she had just caught were no longer very lively.
"By the way, I have a universal clip, why would I need a harpoon?"
Harpoons are a common tool used by fishermen here, but fish caught with them usually don't live long, which affects the price when selling them.
If you use universal tongs, it's a different story; you can get a much higher price for live fish.
So she immediately replaced the harpoon with a pair of clips.
Marine creatures touched by the universal clamp seem to be under a spell, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Using her all-purpose tongs, Chen Zhiyao caught several reasonably priced sea fish from the coral reef in front of her.
Butterflyfish +2
Spinetail +3
Striped pepper snapper +2
Bluefin bream +1
Passing the coral in front of her, Chen Zhiyao stopped in front of a reef with a big smile.
Giant conch
Seeing the huge conch shell in front of her, Chen Zhiyao quickly picked it up.
"Not bad, not bad, it weighs at least one and a half pounds."
Besides this large conch shell, there are quite a few other rather large conches hiding among these rocks.
Conch +2
Flower snail +6
Spider snail +2
Horseshoe snails +4
Chen Zhiyao forcefully lifted a rock in front of her, revealing a red flower crab hidden at the bottom.
This red flower crab was quite large, weighing about a pound, and Chen Zhiyao happily picked it up.
But when I turned it over, I found that the red flower crab was pregnant, so I had to reluctantly release it.
"Let's go, let's go back and have more children!"
Although the red flower crab couldn't understand, it still quickened its pace of escape.
After releasing a red flower crab, Chen Zhiyao quickly found several more crabs that were quite large.
Orchid Crab +2
Blue Crab +2
Red Flower Crab +1
Actually, there were more than just these few, but the rest were too small, so Chen Zhiyao didn't want them and only picked these larger ones.
Unlike on land, it's difficult to carry too much stuff at sea, so she usually only takes expensive items.
Chen Zhiyao had already searched all the rocks in front of her and was preparing to go check out other places.
Suddenly, she saw a pufferfish the size of her palm leisurely swimming past her.
On a whim, Chen Zhiyao grabbed the pufferfish in front of her.
The pufferfish, which was originally slender, slowly inflated like a balloon after being squeezed a few times.
What are you looking at?
This little guy got angry and puffed himself up into a ball; it was quite funny.
Chen Zhiyao mischievously poked its snow-white belly a few times, and then saw the pufferfish in her hand become even rounder.
Fearing the little guy might burst, Chen Zhiyao quickly released it.
