Chapter 295: Digging and Digging on the Big Beach (1)

After some time.

The fishing boat docked.

The beach you see is different from the beach you imagine.

It is not a clean beach with fine sand and soft stones, but looks like a piece of mud, commonly known as beach mud.

The sisters-in-law got in their boats one after another. When they stepped on the beach, it was like stepping on wet mud and their toes quickly sank into it.

At this time, the benefits of rubber-soled shoes are shown.

In the soft mud, there may be sharp stones and shell fragments, all of which are very sharp.

If it is ordinary cloth shoes, it is easy to get injured if you are not careful.

Rubber-soled shoes are much safer.

Jiang Rou most hopes that everyone can wear rain boots, but rain boots are made of plastic and are a scarce commodity, so not every household has them.

Rubber-soled shoes are the best choice.

After getting off the boat, a group of people walked on the muddy beach, which was extremely tiring.

Jiang Rou, who was very strong, was better off. She took one step after another as if she was walking on flat ground.

Song Qingqian is petite and weak, and has poor physical strength, so it is very difficult for her to do this.

"Arou, please walk slower and wait for me."

She had to seek Jiang Rou's help.

Jiang Rou turned around and supported the staggering Song Qingqian, then looked back at everyone else.

Except for the two women in the village, everyone else was similar to Song Qingqian, staggering and struggling to pull their feet out of the mud.

No one was moving forward very fast.

Gradually, as we walked further from the shore and where the sea water had eroded less, the beach became less soft and walking became easier.

It was only ten minutes after getting off the boat, but the originally clean clothes were already stained with black mud.

Jiang Rou was worried that Song Qingqian would not be able to cope with the situation, so she asked her in a low voice.

"Qingqian, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I can hold on."

Song Qingqian's eyes darkened and he spoke firmly.

In fact, she felt itchy all over when she looked at the mud on her body.

This is not a real physiological reaction, but a psychological discomfort.

But she tried to hold it back.

On the one hand, she didn't want to affect Jiang Rou, and on the other hand, she wanted to save face.

She can! She definitely can!

For her own sake and for He Donglai's, she must hold on.

Jiang Rou felt relieved and spoke to everyone.

"Sisters, this is the only area we have. Let's spread out, but don't go too far or into the woods. It's two hours in total, and we'll sail back after two hours. Be sure to remember the time."

"Okay, no problem. We'll keep that in mind."

Some people responded, while others began to look around.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes. The two women from the fishing village specially invited by Jiang Rou played a crucial role at this time.

When they got there, they were like hunters seeing their prey.

He squatted down, took out his tools, and started digging immediately.

Some sisters-in-law who had no experience in fishing just surrounded them, watched what they did, and then just followed them.

Next to Jiang Rou were Zhao Guifen and Song Qingqian.

Zhao Guifen is from Changbai Mountain in Northeast China, and Song Qingqian is a young lady who has never been involved in any romantic affairs. They both smiled awkwardly at Jiang Rou.

"Sister Rou, you start first. I'll watch how you do it and then we'll follow."

"OK!"

Jiang Rou responded readily.

She put down the basket, took out a shovel from it, and began to dig and dig.

The shovel shoveled away a thin layer of black sand, and the shells hidden in the sand were revealed.

"I know this, it's called a clam!"

Zhao Guifen answered hurriedly. She had memorized every detail of the picture album Jiang Rou made.

It looks very novel.

"I thought clams were similar to snails and lived at the bottom of the water, but I didn't expect they actually grow in the sand."

"Sister Guifen, you understand correctly. Clams usually live in the water. This area is near the sea during high tide and becomes a beach during low tide. Clams lie in the sand to hide themselves. They hide in the sand so that they won't be discovered by natural enemies."

Jiang Rou explained as she dug up the sand with a shovel.

All the light-colored small shells were exposed.

It was all clams.

So many!

No one has come to fish in the sea for such a long time, so this beach is rich in resources.

You don't need to look for them specifically, just use a shovel to dig and you will find clams.

Sometimes there are three or four, sometimes there are more than ten, and they are in large groups.

Watching Jiang Rou dig out the clams one by one and throw them into the backpack basket, Zhao Guifen immediately followed and took out her small hoe.

I originally thought it was strange to bring a hoe to the beach, but I didn't expect that he was actually here to hoe the land.

She dug up a large piece of sand with her shovel, and inside the sand were treasures hidden one by one.

There are clams of different sizes.

The shell of clams is usually yellow and white.

When Zhao Guifen took the clams out of the sand, he found one that was particularly large and white, twice the size of an ordinary clam.

"Sister Rou, look, I dug this up. It's so big, is it also a clam?"

"This is a moon clam. Moon clam has more meat and tastes better. Sister Guifen, you are so lucky. You dug up something good on your first try."

【Moon Shell Illustration】

The shell of the moon clam is whitish with circles of spirals on it, like the arc of the moon.

Compared with ordinary clams, it is like the white moonlight among a group of black girls.

There is also such a nice name as Moon Shell.

Sea fishing is like a treasure hunt, everyone wants to find the best.

Hearing Jiang Rou's praise, Zhao Guifen was overjoyed and happily put the clams and moon shells into her basket.

I was so happy and full of energy.

She wanted to dig and dig on this large beach, taking away all the beautiful and delicious things.

Song Qingqian watched from the side for a while and saw shells being dug out one after another.

She stared at it intently.

The attention is diverted without you even noticing.

The dirty mud on his body was ignored, and all he could see were the shells he had dug out.

Each one of them sparkles like gold.

She also squatted down, picked up a small shovel, and started digging together.

One, two...

This big...

This one is still spraying...

She also found the moon shell that Jiang Rou mentioned...

Such a large stretch of beach was like a gigantic garden. Digging out all the treasures here was a huge undertaking. Everyone was very motivated and couldn't stop digging.

When you dig for clams, you also find other things.

For example, a small crab...

There are small black crabs, they are sand crabs.

There are also crabs with big red pincers, called fiddler crabs.

【Fiddler Crab Pictures】

These crabs love to walk sideways on the beach. They are small crabs that don’t grow big.

Don’t be fooled by their small size; it’s still quite painful to clamp someone with big pliers, and it can even cause bleeding if you’re not careful.

Now it's the turn of the fire tongs to come on stage.

The action must be quick, fierce and accurate, grab the small crab and throw it into the basket.

Mission accomplished!

After quickly digging up a pile of shells, Jiang Rou began to catch small crabs, one after another, making sure that no fish would be caught.

She had already started planning the recipe in her mind.

Don’t be fooled by the small size of crabs, they are full of meat.

First fry it in oil, then stir-fry it. It’s fragrant and crispy when you take a bite. I guarantee you’ll eat it without making a sound.

It smells so good!

Jiang Rou was busy catching crabs when she suddenly heard a scream from behind.

"ah--"

The person who screamed was Song Qingqian.
