There is no tide now and the water level is normal.
She squatted on the reef and looked down. The dense barnacles made her scalp tingle.
Barnacles are delicious, fresh and sweet.
But removing barnacles requires tools like clamps. She can pull them off with her bare hands, but they will break.
So, she gave up on the barnacles and set her sights on the water.
There are snails and fish.
The fish are not big, some are one or two pounds, and some are as thick as fingers, and there are quite a lot of them.
Taking off shoes and going into the water, Jian Yuelan got busy.
As time passed, Yang Zhaodi, who was waiting quietly, began to panic. She ran over and lay on the reef to watch.
Not seeing Jian Yuelan, she immediately shouted anxiously, "Aunt, Aunt..."
"Auntie is here, don't be afraid, Zhaodi, she will be up soon."
Jian Yuelan replied, threw the fish she had just caught into the bucket, then climbed up, put on her shoes and walked back.
"Look, Auntie caught some fish for you."
She held the bucket and showed it to the child. The child took a look and opened his mouth into a O shape.
"What a big fish."
It wasn't big, only a little over one pound, but it was very big for the little girl who had never eaten fish since she was a child and had only gnawed on fish bones.
"Zhaodi doesn't have to go hungry tonight."
The little girl pursed her lips and nodded shyly. Soon, Ye Linxing came back with a bundle of dead branches.
"Eat it."
The fish was grilled and Jian Yuelan handed it to her.
"Thanks."
She reached out to take it, and Jian Yuelan handed another one to Ye Linxing. The man took a bite and frowned.
"Not tasty?"
Jian Yuelan asked the question even though she knew the answer.
Before Ye Linxing could reply, Yang Zhaodi, who was gasping for air despite the heat but still reluctant to stop eating, immediately said, "Delicious."
"Aunt's fish is the best fish I've eaten in all these years."
It was done in one breath and the words were sincere.
Jian Yuelan didn't feel happy, she just felt sad.
It is impossible to say that a fish with no oil, no salt, and only the head and internal organs removed is delicious.
But Yang Zhaodi ate it with great satisfaction, as if she were eating delicacies from land and sea.
She couldn't understand why Sister Yang, who was also a woman, was so harsh on her own daughter.
"Eat it, there's more if it's not enough."
Ye Linxing glanced at her and saw that her expression was gentle and there was a smile in her eyes.
