Let the storm rage on!
Chen Zhiyao had been so tired these past few days, and rainy days were perfect for sleeping, so she slept until 9 a.m.
Although it was late, the outside was still shrouded in a gray haze.
Even inside the house, you can still hear the howling wind outside and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Chen Zhiyao yawned, stretched, and walked out onto the balcony. The wind was not only not getting weaker, but was even stronger than yesterday, and the rain was still heavy.
The typhoon didn't stop until the early hours of the third day.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen are used to waking up early; they are already awake at 5 o'clock.
The elderly couple had just woken up when they discovered that the typhoon and heavy rain had stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen are both experienced fishermen. After two days of heavy rain and a typhoon, there must be plenty of good things at the seaside.
Grandpa Chen rushed to his son and daughter-in-law's door, pounded on it, and shouted:
"Get up, get up! The typhoon has stopped, hurry up and get up to go beachcombing, or all the good stuff will be gone."
Yan Shuting, who was sound asleep, immediately woke up upon hearing that the typhoon had stopped and quickly sat up.
"Okay, let's get up now."
Then he gave Chen Weiqiang, who was still fast asleep, a hard push, urging him anxiously:
"You can still sleep? Get up and get to work."
Chen Weiqiang, still dazed, was kicked twice more before he finally woke up completely.
Compared to the lively atmosphere in the next room, Chen Zhiyao's place felt much warmer.
Grandma Chen gently knocked on the door twice, then softly called to her granddaughter:
"Tangtang, the typhoon has stopped. There must be a lot of valuable seafood that has been blown ashore. Hurry up and go beachcombing."
Upon hearing that they were going to go beachcombing, the money-grubbing Chen Zhiyao immediately sobered up and excitedly exclaimed:
"Okay, I'll get up right away."
Having grown up by the sea, she naturally knew that this was a good opportunity to make money.
Chen Zhiyao immediately jumped off the bed, abandoning her usual dawdling pace, and quickly tidied herself up.
At this moment, time is money. The family of five didn't even have time for breakfast. Yan Shuting grabbed a few pieces of bread and hurriedly urged everyone to go out.
Chen Weiqiang, who had just finished washing up, drove his van with his entire family to the beach.
The sea in the morning
After two days of continuous storms, Chen Zhiyao finally saw a ray of sunshine and felt much more comfortable.
Hardworking people are always needed everywhere. Even though it wasn't fully light yet, there were already two or three people gathering seafood on the beach.
After two days of continuous storms, the beach was littered with valuable seafood.
Even though the tide had just started to recede, there were several large sea cucumbers living on the seabed right on the shore.
Chen Zhiyao moved extremely fast, running over like a gust of wind, and picked up the few valuable treasures with a big smile.
They're quite large, almost every one weighs two or three ounces.
Seeing a huge conch shell next to her, Chen Zhiyao happily took it as well.
Sea cucumber and sea snail
In addition, there are many mantis shrimp, conch, various small seashells and starfish of various colors on the beach.
There were also many sea fish that had been swept ashore by the wind and waves, but most of them were injured, and some were even stiff.
Chen Zhiyao even saw a jellyfish that should have lived in the deep sea catching small fish in a puddle.
Predatory jellyfish
However, the purchasing point didn't accept jellyfish, so Chen Zhiyao didn't bother with it.
The beach was full of seafood; you could just reach out and pick it up. Everyone was overjoyed.
These were gifts from the sea, and everyone began to work with gratitude.
There were plenty of good things on the beach, so before the villagers arrived, the group quickly spread out and frantically collected seafood.
It had been raining for the past two days, and Chen Zhiyao had now accumulated 3 hours plus 28 minutes of time, which she could use freely today.
Without waiting for the seawater to recede completely, Chen Zhiyao activated the X-ray vision function.
Once you activate the X-ray vision function, it's like having a cheat code; all the little creatures on the beach have nowhere to hide.
Looking down, Chen Zhiyao discovered a brightly colored shrimp hiding in the sand at her feet.
Moreover, this thing was as long as her palm; it was exceptionally large.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but swear, "Holy crap, there's a little green dragon, and it's not small at all!"
Holding the half-pound baby dragon in her hand, Chen Zhiyao's eyes widened, and she was so happy that her jaw couldn't close.
Small green lobster, also known as Chinese lobster
The small green lobster, also known as the Chinese lobster, is a species unique to our country.
According to Chen Zhiyao, these treasures are mainly distributed in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
Although this creature lives in rocky reef areas in shallow coastal waters, it prefers to inhabit the bottom, making it difficult to catch.
She's been going to the beach for so many years, but she's rarely seen it, and she's never even tasted it.
She happened to find one during a typhoon last National Day holiday.
I originally intended to keep it to try, but when I heard it was 180 yuan per jin (500g), I didn't hesitate for a second and sold it immediately.
This big guy was probably blown ashore by the strong winds and waves these past few days.
With a beaming smile, Chen Zhiyao put the colorful treasure into the bucket, and then quickly continued her treasure hunt around.
Once there's one, there's bound to be two. Before long, she discovered a second little green dragon, weighing a good seven or eight ounces.
This guy is pretty clever; he was hiding under a huge patch of seaweed. If she hadn't used her X-ray vision, she wouldn't have discovered this treasure.
Gently placing the large object into the bucket, Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a palm-sized conch hiding in the sand to her left.
This thing weighs at least a pound, and it's bulged out with a huge bulge.
Conch is a relatively expensive type of seafood; a wild conch this size would cost at least 200 yuan in the market.
It can sell for over 100 yuan per kilogram at the purchasing station.
conch
Chen Zhiyao dug the big guy out in no time, and happily held it in her hands, weighing it in her hands:
"Not bad, not bad, this thing weighs about a pound, and it can even move."
Good things come in pairs; after walking only a few steps, they found another conch shell.
However, it is smaller in size, only seven or eight ounces.
Then a few more people came to the beach. Everyone was busy picking up their things. It was quiet all around except for the sound of the waves.
Chen Zhiyao didn't like crowded places, so she walked towards the rocky beach, where there were fewer people and more good things.
After walking for a short while, she found a small piece of sea cucumber. These creatures are rarely seen on the beach unless there is a typhoon.
Chen Zhiyao ran over quickly, carrying one in each hand; her movements were so fast that she was almost a blur.
Although these little guys weren't as big as the ones before, there were many of them. Before long, she had picked up half a bucket of sea cucumbers, which she estimated to weigh about seven or eight pounds.
Having grown up on the beach, Chen Zhiyao knows the importance of making a fortune quietly.
Fearing that others would see her precious treasures, Chen Zhiyao deliberately poured all the valuable seafood into a dark-colored burlap sack.
(We don't have enough pictures in stock. If any of you have pictures of seafood, could you please share some?)
