"Splash splash splash..."
Before we knew it, the seawater had receded even further, leaving more small seafood on the rocky beach.
Seeing that the tide was about to recede to the very back, Chen Zhiyao quickly sped up.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw a particularly beautiful moray eel in front of her.
Beautiful moray eel
This eel has blue patterns on its body, like those on blue and white porcelain, and it looks quite exquisite and beautiful.
Although she didn't encounter it often, Chen Zhiyao recognized it at a glance as a yellow eel.
This creature has a blue body but a yellow head; it's commonly called a yellow eel here.
(The full-body photo is a bit scary, so I won't post it here.)
This yellow eel looks nice, but it's not very big, only a little over a pound, almost two pounds.
Conger eel +1
A sound came from the sea ahead. As soon as Chen Zhiyao looked up, she saw a fishing boat passing by not far away.
Seeing that the fishing boat wasn't coming this way, she ignored it and continued working with her head down.
Right in the crevice of the rock at her feet, there were two large blue crabs hiding.
They were hidden quite well; it took her a considerable amount of time to get those two big guys out.
Large blue crab +2
They were quite large, each weighing about eight or nine ounces. It's just a pity that one of the big blue crabs was missing a large claw.
Without one pair of pliers, the price of this thing will be significantly reduced.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity." Chen Zhiyao said it was a pity, but her face was all smiles.
I even secretly thought to myself that I could make steamed blue crabs for lunch.
Then, she casually picked up a few large conch shells from the rocks and put them in her pocket.
Octopus +1
Flower snail +4
Spicy snails +3
Spider snail +1
There were quite a lot of crabs here. Chen Zhiyao walked around a few large rocks, and then a few big guys tied up in the bucket appeared.
Blue Crab +4
Orchid Crab +3
Stone Crab +5
Besides crabs, there was also a large rock covered with mussels, which were quite big and plump.
Chen Zhiyao paused the X-ray glasses, then took out a net and caught all the delicious mussels.
These little guys filled an entire net bag; enough to feed the family for several meals.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was squatting by the rock picking up seashells, she suddenly heard a soft splashing sound behind her.
Turning my head, I saw a small tail with black stripes.
She initially thought it was a moray eel, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dog shark.
That tail looks pretty thick; it must be quite big.
Using the all-purpose tweezers in her hand, Chen Zhiyao quickly grabbed the little tail in front of her and easily pulled it out.
"It's quite heavy, weighing two or three pounds."
Dog Shark +1
Just then, Chen Zhiyao heard three footsteps behind her, followed by her mother's cheerful voice:
"Tangtang, how was the harvest?"
Chen Zhiyao turned around with a smile, "Not bad. Although there aren't any particularly expensive seafood items, there are quite a few different kinds of sea snails and crabs."
"Oh right, there's also a dog shark." He said, shaking the dog shark in his hand with a smug look on his face.
"Good, good. You stay here and do your job well. I'm going to check things out up ahead."
Yan Shuting didn't intend to compete with her daughter for seafood here, and the three of them walked directly towards the rocky beach in front.
Chen Zhiyao walked another ten meters or so and came to a small coral reef.
This area is usually covered by seawater, and it was only exposed today due to the high tide.
At first glance, there are quite a few good things hidden inside.
Chen Zhiyao took cheerful little steps and came to a rock where a particularly beautiful blue wrasse was hiding.
Blue wrasse
These blue wrasses are so colorful that in her eyes they're like orchid crabs among sea fish—both are eye-catching and have high visual appeal.
Bluefin bream +1
Then, she found two peppered snapper, one large and one small, in a small puddle to her left.
Chen Zhiyao was lucky today. The big pepper snapper weighed at least three pounds, and the small one weighed about two pounds. Together, they were worth several hundred yuan.
Pepper Snapper +2
Not only that, but there were also many sea snails hidden in the puddle, which excited her greatly.
Half-screw + 6
Flower snail +5
Horseshoe snails +3
Conch +3
Chen Zhiyao tossed the conch shell in her hand into the bucket, and when she looked up, she saw a conch shell with a pointed bottom under a clump of coral in front of her.
This conch has a large, long, and pale yellow tail; it's clearly a conch.
Upon seeing something good, Chen Zhi took two steps in one, rushing over like a gust of wind.
Unexpectedly, there are quite a few good things here. Besides the large conch shell that is exposed, there is another super large conch shell that is longer than the palm of your hand hidden on the other side of the coral.
And under a nearby rock, seven or eight long whiskers were sticking out.
The conch shell doesn't have legs and won't run away on its own, so Chen Zhiyao turned around and went to the nearby reef.
In no time at all, he pulled out the two little green dragons.
Little Green Dragon +2
Conch +2
Through her X-ray glasses, she saw a blue crab the size of a fist hiding under the rock in front of her.
Chen Zhiyao simply and roughly overturned the not-so-large rock in front of her, sending up a large spray of water.
The large blue crab, which had been hiding well, was so frightened that it immediately fled sideways to the left.
Chen Zhiyao immediately gave chase and soon caught it in a small puddle.
As soon as she picked up the big thing, she was pleasantly surprised to find something good in the cave in front of her.
Coconut snail
The coconut snail in front of her was as big as her palm and looked to weigh about two or three pounds.
Chen Zhiyao quickly quickened her pace, tying the crab in her hand tightly and tossing it into the bucket.
Then, with an excited expression, he picked up the coconut snail in front of him and examined it carefully.
"This coconut snail isn't small either. I wonder if it has any Melo pearls?"
Unfortunately, I looked at it several times but still didn't find anything.
Chen Zhiyao could only console herself that at least the coconut snail was quite large and worth two or three hundred yuan.
By this time, the large bucket in her hand was already full.
I had no choice but to take out a large net and separate the conch and crab and put them in the net.
Giant Octopus +1
Conger eel +2
Blue Crab +3
Orchid Crab +2
Conch +2
Octopus +3
...
Along the way, Chen Zhiyao kept stopping and starting, and her hands became increasingly full of things.
Suddenly, the little dream in my mind said excitedly:
"Tangtang, go to your right, there's something good there."
Upon hearing that there was something good, Chen Zhiyao casually tossed the whelk in her hand into the bucket and strode over.
On the way, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of good thing it could be.
