As the seawater in the drained pits began to rise, both pits were finally drained.
While waiting, Chen Weiqiang had already scavenged all the seashells hidden on the rocks above the two water pits and all around them.
When Chen Zhiyao arrived, she saw two piles of conch shells on a large rock nearby.
The large pile was full of snails. They weren't very big, but they were piled up into a small mountain, and looked to weigh at least ten kilograms.
The smaller pile contains whelks, baby whelks, half-snail whelks, and horseshoe whelks, weighing about four or five pounds.
Chen Zhiyao and Yan Shuting went down into the small puddle together, while Chen Weiqiang and his son were busy in the large pit.
Chen Weiqiang had thoroughly searched the area, and Chen Zhiyao carefully examined the upper part of the puddle but couldn't find many snails that had escaped.
Seeing that there was nothing left above, she prepared to go down to the bottom of the pit to catch fish.
Through the X-ray glasses, she could already see several expensive, large fish below.
Before she even reached the bottom of the pit, she spotted a blue crab hiding in a crevice. Blue crab +1
Besides this little guy, there was also an octopus and a rock goby hiding under a small rock nearby.
Chen Zhiyao moved the stone and spent a lot of effort to catch the two little guys hiding in the crevice.
Shi Jiugong +1
Octopus +1
Following her gaze down into the puddle, she soon spotted two blue crabs, one large and one small, under a round rock.
Having caught so many crabs, she no longer felt excited when she saw these two blue crabs.
Chen Zhiyao calmly picked up the two little ones and then skillfully tied them up.
When releasing the crabs, my gaze fell on a rock at the bottom of the puddle, and my already large almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things?"
Taking two steps at a time, Chen Zhiyao quickly arrived in front of a square stone that was half a meter high.
The rock was covered with abalone of all sizes, at least dozens of them, making it look like a small mountain of abalone.
She blinked, and after confirming that it was all abalone and not mussels, she immediately exclaimed excitedly:
"We're rich! We're rich!!"
Chen Zhiyao deftly pried off the largest abalone, almost every one weighing more than half a pound.
The remaining ones were also quite large, each weighing about two or three ounces.
“1, 2, 3... 15.”
There are a total of 6 extra-large abalone weighing over half a catty each, and 15 medium-sized abalone.
Having just finished her work, Chen Zhiyao proudly pointed to the mountain of abalone and boasted to her mother, who was not far away:
"Mom, look at the abalone I found! Isn't it big? Aren't there many?"
Yan Shuting glanced at it only once, then gave a perfunctory reply:
"Amazing! You're the best!"
Then he turned around and groped around in a low-lying puddle. In less than a minute, he burst into laughter.
"Tangtang, look at this bluefin bream I caught! It weighs at least three or four pounds!" Chen Zhiyao was amazed when she saw the giant bluefin bream in her mother's hand.
"What beautiful blue wrasse! They could be kept as ornamental fish."
"What's so interesting about fish? Of course, it's best to steam it."
Having grown up by the sea and seeing all kinds of sea fish every day, Yan Shuting didn't understand at all what was so fun about raising fish.
I don't understand why my daughter insists on keeping fish even though they never survive more than three days.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyao, whom she disliked, was rummaging through stones in a corner.
As soon as I moved two small stones aside, I saw a small black tail swaying from side to side.
Before the clamp could even be extended, it immediately retracted into a crevice deeper inside the rock.
After moving a few more larger stones, a large eel as thick as a wrist was exposed.
The eel was running very fast and was about to disappear into a crevice in the rocks next to it, but luckily Chen Zhiyao caught its tail.
The trapped eel remained motionless for a short while before being pulled out.
This thing is over a meter long and feels quite heavy in your hand, weighing at least 5 kilograms.
This pool isn't very big, but it's quite deep, and it contains all sorts of rocks of different sizes, which hide a lot of good stuff.
She found several conch shells and coconut shells, not to mention all sorts of stranded sea fish.
Conch +3
Coconut snail +2
Shi Jiugong +5
Black sea bream +4
Tiger Spot +1
Bass +3
Sea Wolf +2
In a crevice in the rocks, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find a rat weighing over a pound.
After catching this top-quality seafood and putting it in the bucket, Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed.
A little while later, she found a large nest of mussels in a small, still-watery puddle. Each mussel was exceptionally plump, and a dozen or so weighed three or four pounds.
In addition, at the very bottom of the puddle, there were several sea fish huddled together.
Yellow foot wax +2
Black sea bream +1
Pearl Grouper +1
Sea bass +2
Besides the visible sea fish, hidden deep in the crevices of the rocks are two rather large conger eels and several rock eels.
Chen Zhiyao moved stones for quite a while before finally catching these little creatures that were hiding very well.
Conger eel +2
Shi Jiugong +4
The puddle wasn't very big, and it wasn't long before the mother and daughter reached the bottom of it together.
The puddle, which had been drained, suddenly started to fill with water again, seemingly from nowhere.
The puddles, knee-deep, were teeming with fish, mostly large ones.
Seven or eight pounds of pearl grouper + 1
A super-sized red snapper weighing over three kilograms + 1
Six or seven pounds of sea bass + 2
10-pound sea wolf +1
These big creatures were too obvious targets, and the mother and daughter quickly scooped them up with a net.
At this time, there were still many smaller sea fish in the puddle, but the water was too deep and murky, making them difficult to catch.
Chen Zhiyao removed the water pump hose and pumped for a few more minutes to drain the puddle.
After the water was drained, the little fish desperately burrowed into the mud and crevices in the rocks.
Fortunately, Chen Zhiyao had X-ray vision glasses, so she caught them every time.
Yellow foot wax +2
Golden Pomfret +3
Rat spots +1
Shi Jiugong +3
Red sea bream +4
Various small fish +8
Besides the sea fish, what made Chen Zhiyao happiest was that there were actually two small green dragons at the bottom of the water pit.
Moreover, each of these two little green dragons weighs about one pound.
The mother and daughter beamed as they carried their various catches of fish onto the puddle.
