Below the rocks to Chen Zhiyao's left, many small and large caves have been formed by the erosion of the waves.
These naturally formed caves have become natural burrows for some small animals.
Through the X-ray glasses, she could clearly see that several large, green creatures were hiding in these small caves.
Chen Zhiyao reached the largest hole on the left with her multi-purpose tongs, and a small green dragon, bigger than her palm, was obediently pulled out.
"Grandpa, come here quickly, there are many little green dragons here."
Holding up the oversized green dragon weighing more than a pound, Chen Zhiyao excitedly waved to the old man, urging him to come over quickly.
Although she discovered these little green dragons, this place was her grandfather's secret base, and Chen Zhiyao didn't intend to keep it all to herself.
Grandpa Chen was bending over and feeling around in the seawater when he quickly raised a small green dragon weighing about seven or eight ounces with a smile.
"I also have quite a few small green dragons here."
Chen Zhiyao stood on tiptoe and looked at the old man's water bucket with disbelief.
Sure enough, there were two small, menacing green dragons inside, and they weren't small either.
She didn't say anything more and quickly picked up the two large and three small green dragons and put them into the bucket one by one.
"Haha, all of you come into the bucket, sister."
The two larger green dragons each weighed over a pound, while the other three were smaller, but still weighed about half a pound each.
They look like a parent with three children.
Unfortunately, this unlucky family ran into Chen Zhiyao, and the whole family was captured.
Little Green Dragon +5
Besides, there were also many fist-sized sea snails in the crevices of the rocks, which Chen Zhiyao happily collected.
These conches are quite large; about three of them weigh about a pound each. I got several pounds of large conches again.
Grandpa Chen also had a good haul, with five small green dragons in his bucket.
However, the little guys that the old man found were more uniform in size, mostly around 7 or 8 taels each.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the big thing in her bucket, then at the one in her grandfather's bucket, her excitement overflowing.
"We've really stirred up trouble for the little green dragon today."
Grandpa Chen was also very happy, "Tangtang, you're so lucky. Last time I came, I only caught four little green dragons. I didn't expect to catch ten today."
"This place is great. There are goose barnacles outside and small green lobsters and abalone inside. It's a truly auspicious place."
Then Chen Zhiyao excitedly added, "Let's come here once a month from now on, during low tide."
At this moment, Grandpa Chen dug up a few large oysters from the nearby rocks and replied cheerfully:
"Sure, this island is a bit far, but it has a lot of different kinds of seafood."
"However, since we took all these valuable items this time, we probably won't have as many good things next time we come."
Fearing the next disappointment might be too great, the old man gave his granddaughter a heads-up in advance.
"That's true. These goose barnacles grow slowly, and it will take at least several months before they can be harvested again. These small lobsters and abalone won't be available again anytime soon either."
"Splash..."
The waves rushed in from the cave entrance, and the seawater inside was about to reach their chests. Grandpa Chen quickly pulled his granddaughter out.
waves
As soon as the two came out of the cave, a wave as tall as a person suddenly crashed over them.
The grandfather and grandson were instantly soaked to the bone, drenched from head to toe.
Even so, the two of them held the bucket tightly in their arms, afraid that the goose barnacles and the little green dragon inside would be swept away by the waves.
Chen Zhiyao stumbled from the waves and almost fell, but luckily Grandpa Chen caught her.
The stones on the ground were wet and covered with sharp barnacles and oysters, as well as slippery seaweed. It was very dangerous to slip and fall if you weren't careful.
The grandfather and grandson helped each other and quickly walked towards the shore.
They hadn't even started walking when another small wave crashed onto them.
Chen Zhiyao's bucket was overflowing with things, and the little green dragon on top kept struggling and flapping its wings, trying to escape with the waves.
Seeing that the largest little green dragon had already half its body sticking out of the bucket and was about to flip over, Chen Zhiyao quickly pressed it back into the bucket.
Besides the largest one, the other smaller green dragons were also restless, constantly jumping around trying to escape.
The distance from the small cave to the rocky beach where they had just been beachcombing was only a few dozen meters, but the constant crashing of the waves made it take the grandfather and grandson several minutes to walk.
Above the rocky beach were two large buckets filled with all sorts of small seafood, the haul from their beachcombing trip.
The two slowly walked to a place where the waves couldn't reach them. At this time, Chen Zhiyao still had two emerald green seaweed hanging on her head.
Grandpa Chen even had several strands of seaweed hanging on his face, resembling strands of hair, and a thin, long piece of kelp on his left shoulder.
The two men, seeing each other's disheveled state, felt no sympathy whatsoever and instead threw their heads back and burst into laughter.
The grandfather and grandson happily admired each other's new looks, then found a clean, large rock and sat down to rest.
Chen Zhiyao lifted the heavy bucket to her feet and then happily took stock of her haul from the cave.
There were about 10 jin of goose barnacles, two large and three small green lobsters, about two jin of wild abalone, and three or four jin of large conch.
Grandpa Chen, who was standing nearby, also had a good haul. He had over ten kilograms of goose barnacles, five small lobsters, about two kilograms of large conch, and several kilograms of large oysters.
"Splash splash splash..."
high tide
After resting for a few minutes, the two noticed that the seawater in the distance had begun to rise gradually, so they quickly got up and started walking back.
When the grandfather and grandson returned to the fishing boat with all sorts of fresh seafood, it was already 11:30.
After a busy morning, Chen Zhiyao's stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she couldn't help but drool as she looked at the various seafood in the bucket.
While cleaning up the fish, Chen Zhiyao noticed that one of the two bluefin bream she had picked up that morning had already died. She took it out and prepared to steam it later.
There were also quite a few oysters, so I grabbed about ten of them as well.
Grandpa Chen also found a small sea bass weighing over a pound while beachcombing. Although it had already died, it was still quite fresh, so we'll steam it together later.
After cleaning the fish, the two split up. The old man went to process the seafood, while Chen Zhiyao washed the vegetables.
She had just started cooking the rice when Grandpa Chen had already deftly cleaned the two sea fish and oysters.
The two had a very lavish lunch, consisting of steamed parrotfish, steamed sea bass, and blanched bok choy, as well as a large plate of steamed oysters.

Chen Zhiyao was so hungry today that she didn't even bother to take a picture.
As soon as the food was ready, she quickly served a large bowl of rice to her grandfather and herself.
The double strength function is useful, but it makes you hungry very quickly. These days, Chen Zhiyao's appetite is almost catching up with Grandpa Chen's.
