A day full of energy begins!! Before the alarm on her phone went off, Chen Zhiyao, half asleep, suddenly smelled a particularly domineering fragrance.
"It smells so good! What delicious food did Grandma make today?"
Within two minutes, she woke up to an enticing aroma.
Waking up to the aroma of breakfast is a particularly blissful experience, and Chen Zhiyao had a smile on her face while brushing her teeth.
The only downside was that Ah Huang and Xue Tuan, who used to wait for her to wake up every day, had long been captivated by the aroma and were now eagerly waiting at the kitchen door.
As Chen Zhiyao went downstairs, she looked down and saw two round figures, one big and one small, from behind.
Well, Ah Huang and Xue Tuan are getting rounder and rounder thanks to Grandma's feeding, but they are very cute and easy to pet.
She walked over, skillfully petting one dog with each hand, commenting as she did so:
"Ah Huang is chubby and feels better to the touch. Xue Tuan looks fat, but it's mostly just fur; there's not much meat on it."
It would be great if Xue Tuan could gain a little more weight. When the little guy first came home, he looked like a little mouse after his bath, but he's much better now.
After petting her for a while, Chen Zhiyao realized that her hands were covered in dog hair. Looking down, she noticed that her pants and clothes were also covered in white hair.
"Xuetuan, your hair loss is really serious."
"Aww...-_-#" Snowball turned around haughtily, showing her its little bottom.
The little guy didn't actually understand what she said, but judging from her tone, he could guess that it wasn't anything nice.
Snowball had its back to her, its whole body screaming "I'm angry!"
Seeing that his little friend was ignoring his little master, Ah Huang smiled innocently, but actually tricked Chen Zhiyao into snuggling into his arms and acting cute.
"Our Ah Huang is so cute."
Xue Tuan couldn't stand being ignored by anyone, and within a minute she couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and frantically tugged at Chen Zhiyao's trouser leg.
"Awoooooo..."
After playing with Ah Huang and Xue Tuan for a while, Grandma Chen brought out a pot of fragrant glutinous rice with cured pork.
Calling it cured pork rice isn't entirely accurate, because in addition to sausage and cured pork, it also contains dried shrimp, scallops, and green peas.
This is very generously filled with ingredients; the ratio of glutinous rice to various other ingredients is almost 1:1.
In addition, Grandma Chen thoughtfully prepared a dish of smashed cucumber to cut through the richness of the dish.
"Hurry up and wash your hands. It's gotten colder today, so this sticky rice is just right."
When Chen Zhiyao came out after washing her hands, the whole family was sitting neatly around the dining table eating breakfast.
The savory aroma of cured pork and sausage, combined with the fresh fragrance of dried shrimp and scallops, and the refreshing green peas, makes this sticky rice incredibly flavorful and layered.
Sticky rice can be a bit cloying, so taking a bite of refreshing smashed cucumber makes it even more delightful.
With her grandmother's enthusiastic feeding, Chen Zhiyao was almost stuffed.
When the four arrived at the dock, the sky was still overcast, but the place was already bustling with activity as everyone eagerly set sail to make a living at sea.
The fishing boat was just refilled with ice yesterday, and with the cold weather, it should last another day or two.
After filling the boat with oil, Chen Zhiyao excitedly ran aboard the fishing boat.
"Let's go! Today's sure to be another great harvest!"
"Today is sure to be another great harvest!" Chen Weiqiang behind him echoed enthusiastically.
The tide receded earlier today than yesterday, and when the group landed on the island, two-thirds of the reef island was already exposed. After the tide receded and the pumps and various tools were unloaded from the boat, Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang went straight to the two water pits where they had baited the ground the day before.
By this time, the seawater had receded most of its depth, revealing two puddles.
The first pool was funnel-shaped with a narrow bottom and was surrounded by oddly shaped rocks.
Through the X-ray glasses, you can see many conches, crabs, eels, and various fish inside, and even several small lobsters.
Chen Zhiyao thought to herself with delight, "Using this bait additive to create a feeding area is really effective."
The puddle is funnel-shaped and not very large; it should be drained quickly.
The father and daughter agreed to put only one water pump here.
Immediately afterwards, the two men took two more water pumps to a large puddle not far away.
The puddle in front of us is square and has a large volume inside.
Through the X-ray glasses, you can see that although the variety of fish inside is not as abundant as in the previous puddle, it is teeming with fish.
Judging from the size of the shadowy figures, there were at least seven or eight large fish weighing over 10 kilograms each, not to mention countless other small fish.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was grinning foolishly at the fish in the puddle, Chen Weiqiang had already deftly set up the two water pumps and turned them on.
"Rumble..."
The loud noise of the water pump immediately pulled Chen Zhiyao back to reality.
"Let's get to work! I have a feeling we'll get even more today than yesterday."
"I think so too. I'm sure I won't lose to you guys fishing today."
Chen Weiqiang grinned, looking confident, but his mind was completely focused on fishing.
"Hehe, that's hard to say~" Chen Zhiyao picked up the bucket and tongs and left happily.
"You little brat, can't you just give in to me? ┐(′-｀)┌"
Compared to yesterday when you could find good stuff every two steps, today there was a pitifully small amount of seafood on the island.
I don't know if it's because they looted all the seafood on the island yesterday, or because they were all attracted to the puddles by the bait.
With very little to show for it, Chen Zhiyao wandered around for quite a while before finally finding a blue crab in a crevice in the rocks. Her first crab of the day! And this blue crab wasn't very big; it looked rather thin, weighing at most four ounces.
I hardly encountered any of the sea snails and crabs that are usually found when beachcombing, but I did encounter more sea fish.
The puddle in front of us wasn't big, but it was teeming with several brightly colored little fish.
The pink red sea bream, the striped pepper sea bream with black stripes, the colorful blue snapper, the silvery yellowfin tuna, and the golden yellow croaker all look like they've been carefully arranged.
Within two minutes, Chen Zhiyao had scooped up all the beautiful fish.
She had only taken a few steps when she discovered another stranded golden pomfret.
The tide had just receded, and although the golden pomfret in front of them was not very lively, it was still alive.
As soon as it was put into the bucket, the fish immediately seemed to have taken a magic pill and swam around happily in it.
Chen Zhiyao was speechless. "Was he pretending to be dead just now?"
Turbot +2
Sesame eel +1
Bluefin bream +1
Black sea bream +3
Tiger Spot +2
Sea bass +3
Conch +1
Golden Pomfret +4
Balang Fish +7
Small fish +6
...
More than half an hour had passed, and Chen Zhiyao had mostly collected various kinds of sea fish.
