The grandfather and grandson soaked the whole sack of small seashells in the seawater, and then each dragged a small cart to continue their beachcombing.
Large yellow croakers occasionally appear around Turtle Island, attracting many anglers.
However, these fishermen aren't very interested in beachcombing, and very few people come here to do so, so the island has a lot of good stuff.
After walking only four or five meters, Chen Zhiyao's previously empty buckets were now filled with seven exceptionally large clams and four octopuses weighing over half a pound each.
Continuing onward, small seafood such as cat's eye snails, blood clams, sand clams, moon clams, and flower clams can be found everywhere.
Cat's Eye Snail +6
Blood Clam +8
Sand White +12
Moon Shell +7
...
The bucket was filled with more and more small seashells, but these things weren't very valuable.
Chen Zhiyao didn't want to waste too much time here, so she went straight to the place where the beach meets the sea.
This spot is usually hidden underwater, and there are many more good things here than before.
There were several small holes about the size of a thumb right next to my feet, and through X-ray glasses I could see that they were full of mantis shrimp.
Seeing that the bucket was almost full of small seashells, Chen Zhiyao quickly poured all the little creatures into the net bag.
With the X-ray glasses, she could dig up the mantis shrimps with ease. These mantis shrimps were quite large, and she dug up three or four pounds in no time.
After she dug out all the mantis shrimp, the previously empty bucket was now more than half full again.
Chen Zhiyao picked up the bucket and weighed it in her hand, estimating it to be about seven or eight pounds.
The seawater continued to recede, revealing all sorts of delicious small seafood.
Belt +3
Octopus +4
Cat's Eye Snail +6
Scallop +7
Xi Shi Bei +6
...
"Splash..."
The seawater receded a little further, and Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find several dying fish on the beach.
Upon closer inspection, there were two black sea bream weighing over a pound each and a large red sea bream weighing two pounds. Further away, there was also a bluefin wrasse.
Chen Zhiyao quickly ran over and picked up all the valuable sea fish.
I'm lucky today, all the fish are live.
It's just that a lot of its scales have been washed away by the waves, making it look less appealing, but that doesn't affect its deliciousness at all.
Chen Zhiyao not only didn't mind, but was actually very happy:
"These fish don't look very appealing, so I'll keep them for myself."
Chen Zhiyao's recent sea voyages have been increasingly successful, and with plenty of money to spare, she has become much more generous when it comes to food.
Knowing that his mother and grandmother were frugal, he would deliberately break off the little green dragon's whiskers or the big green crab's claws before going home several times.
These damaged, expensive seafood items could no longer fetch a good price, so naturally they all ended up in the bellies of their own families.
Besides these few listless sea fish, there were several lively sardines in the sea a little further ahead.
Seeing this, she immediately picked up a large net and scooped up all the little creatures.
Looking at the several fresh sardines in the net, Chen Zhiyao nodded in satisfaction:
"Although they're not very big, they're enough for lunch."
Sardines are cheap, but they taste pretty good. Chen Zhiyao usually keeps them for her family to eat when she catches them.
After putting the net back on the cart, Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a large flock of seagulls on the beach to her left.
These seagulls are all here in search of food; with so many of them, she figured there must be plenty of good food ahead.
So I quickly ran over, ready to snatch the food from these little guys.
Chen Zhiyao had a good plan, but when she got there, she found nothing on the beach except for a lot of paw prints.
Just then, several clumps of seagull droppings fell from the sky, almost hitting her on the head.
Seeing the several white bird droppings on the ground, Chen Zhiyao was both angry and frightened, and quickly grabbed her things and ran away.
The beach on Seagull Island wasn't very big, and Chen Zhiyao quickly reached the end.
The beach in front of us was blocked by several huge rocks, each of which was very tall and covered with clam and oyster shells, making it impossible to climb.
It was her first time visiting Turtle Island, and she didn't know much about the island's terrain, so she turned to Grandpa Chen, who was practically an encyclopedia.
"Behind this stone forest is a rocky beach, where there are many good things."
The old man was quite familiar with the area, and he led the father and daughter for a few minutes to the rocky beach behind it.
Upon arriving at the rocky beach, Chen Zhiyao spotted an enormous bread crab.
There are relatively few people on the island, and these marine creatures are not afraid of people, so they just swagger around and sunbathe.
Sunbathing bread crabs
This bread crab was exceptionally large, and Chen Zhiyao happily lifted it up with both hands:
"I don't know how many years this bread crab has lived. It weighs at least three pounds and feels as big as my head."
Just as Chen Zhiyao was feeling smug, Chen Weiqiang, who was standing next to her, pulled out a small green dragon that was bigger than his palm from under an overturned rock.
"Look at this behemoth of mine, it weighs at least a pound and a half."
Seeing the two younger generation competing with each other, Grandpa Chen, who was always proud, also started searching around, not wanting to be outdone.
Unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky. After searching for a long time, he only found a few small snails.
For this, he was severely ridiculed by the disrespectful father and daughter.
This rocky beach is quite large, and the various sizes of rocks are perfect for sea snails and crabs to hide in.
Looking at these valuable little treasures, Chen Zhiyao was as happy as a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.
Spider snail +3
Flower snail +10
Coconut snail +3
Horseshoe snails +4
Blue Crab +5
Red Flower Crab +3
...
Various kinds of sea snails and crabs were quickly filled into the two net bags she brought.
She tied the two net bags together and put them into the sack, then took out two new net bags.
Lifting up a large rock weighing several tens of kilograms, you can see a large octopus weighing more than two kilograms clinging tightly to the rock underneath.
The octopus was attached very tightly, so Chen Zhiyao didn't grab it with her hands, but used a pair of tongs to put it into the bucket.
Besides the octopus, there were also several whelks and snails at the bottom of the rock.
Octopus +1
Flower snail +5
Spicy snail +8
As Chen Zhiyao tossed the conch shell into the bucket, she noticed a large rock directly in front of her, her head bowed.
Beneath the rock, there were several whiskers that looked particularly familiar.
Upon seeing those few whiskers, a bright smile immediately spread across her face.
Before long, the all-purpose tongs in his hand pulled a small green dragon out of the crack in the rock.
They're quite big, they look like they weigh about a pound, that's another two or three hundred yuan in profit.
Little Azure Dragon +1
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to continue walking forward, Xiao Meng in her mind suddenly said excitedly:
"Tangtang, hurry, hurry, go to the right, there's something good there."
