Chapter 205: Shoe polishing is the greatest respect for pufferfish (4K)

Chen Jingle and his friends were not the first to go down to the beach. Some impatient tourists, seeing the tide just beginning to recede, hurried down with their tools.

This behavior is actually very dangerous.

The beach is not as calm as it seems, and there may be quicksand in some places, especially where the water has not completely receded.

A little further away from the shore, the underwater ground does not slope slowly becoming deeper. In some places, it may be a big pit, and if you step on it carelessly, you may die.

Then the suona starts playing, and it becomes clear that all the efforts of my parents in raising me have been in vain.

But some people just wouldn't listen. No matter how loudly the staff shouted at them on the shore, they were unwilling to come back.

All I can say is, respect the fate of others and let go of the desire to help others.

Chen Jingle and his friends went back to the car to get tools and put on rain boots.

Rain boots are a bit bulky, but compared to being able to protect yourself, that's nothing.

Although the beach seems harmless, there are actually many deadly places. Not to mention the blue-ringed octopus and patterned cleaner crabs, even being pinched by a common crab or pricked by the dorsal spines of a marine fish is painful enough.

Not to mention the shellfish and sand everywhere.

"Just right!"

After putting on his rain boots, Li Beixing stamped his feet, very satisfied.

Chen Jingle had not asked her what size shoe she wore before, so fortunately she didn't buy a smaller size.

I can only say that they really put their heart into it.

Chen Jingle said, my eyes are the ruler!
Li Beixing's height and figure are there, and his feet are not fat, so he can roughly judge what size shoes are suitable for him. Even if he buys a slightly larger size, it is no problem. It is always better than not being able to wear them.

"Let's go."

He was carrying a plastic bucket with all his tools in it.

I won’t bring a camera this time because it’s inconvenient. If I need to take pictures, I can use my mobile phone.

I should have bought a sports camera earlier, so that I can use the magnetic accessories and stick it directly on my clothes, freeing my hands.

Failed!
……

When you go fishing, the purpose is not to harvest, but to experience it.

It's not necessary to get your clothes dirty just to pick up more seafood.

Therefore, Chen Jingle did not choose the mudflat.

However, a beach that is too clean often doesn't have anything good to offer, so you need to strike a balance between cleanliness and mud.

The area he chose was a sandy mudflat that was not very flat and had some reefs.

Reef areas like this usually hide many crabs, small fish, etc. that do not have time to return to the sea when the tide recedes.

If you walk a little further into the sea, it will be a little muddy, but if you don't walk too far you will be fine.

Chen Jingle was quite satisfied with the place he chose.

The types of marine life in each sea area are different. Beitang Town belongs to the Beibu Gulf. The fishing resources in the entire sea area are relatively rich. Common ones include conchs, clams, clams, scallops, razor clams, crabs, and mantis shrimps.

Before reaching his destination, Chen Jingle had already spotted his prey.

He stopped, picked up a small shovel, pointed to a small hole in front of him and said, "Here, here!"

"Huh? What's here?"

Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun immediately came over, their eyes wide open.

"Do you see this small hole? You'll know if you dig it up." Chen Jingle said with a smile.

He gave the first shovel opportunity to Li Beixing.

"Oh?"

Li Beixing was skeptical, but he still took the small shovel and dug up the sand on the surface under the guidance of Chen Jingle.

After digging the second shovel, she felt that the shovel had found something. She dug it out and pushed aside the sand to see -

A shellfish the size of a Coke bottle cap lay in the middle of the sand.

"Hey, there really is one! And it's not small!" Li Beixing was very happy. "What kind of snail is this? Is it a clam?"

Chen Jingle had already put on gloves. He picked up the shellfish and rubbed off the sand on the surface. He took a look and shook his head and said, "No, although it looks very similar to a flower clams, it is not a flower clams, but a conch, also called a clam. It tastes good."

Although he had learned a lot of sea-hunting skills and knowledge, he was still a little far from the sea-hunting masters who could tell what kind of shellfish was buried under the sand just by looking at the holes.

Because some shellfish are similar in size and have similar sand-lying habits, sometimes you think they are one kind of seashell, but when you dig them up you find they are actually another kind.

The holes in razor clams are easier to recognize.

It’s okay, it’s good enough to find something under the sand.

Li Beixing was very happy: "Since it tastes good, let's dig more."

Chen Jingle said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are a lot of snails on this beach, so there's no rush to dig them out slowly."

Seeing Chen Qiyun eager to try, he handed her a small shovel as well.

The three persons, two adults and one child, just kept their heads down and stared at the beach as they walked forward. When Chen Jingle saw a hole, he stopped and let them start.

It made him look like he was here to supervise the work, and it would be even more like that if he wore a white helmet.

But Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun never get tired of it and they smile with joy every time they dig up shellfish.

So easy to satisfy.

"There is also a small hole here." Chen Qiyun shouted.

Chen Jingle stretched his head to take a look, but was not sure if there was anything there, so he said, "Let's dig it up and see."

Chen Qiyun dug it open in a few quick swipes and exclaimed in amazement: "It's a small crab!"

Only the size of a thumb.

Chen Jingle shook his head and said, "It's too small. Let it go. There's not much meat on it. If there's a big one under the rock, we can catch it."

Chen Qiyun let go of the little crab in disappointment. The little crab immediately kicked its legs away and disappeared in a few seconds.

Although the small crab ran away, Chen Qiyun wanted to see if she could dig up a bigger crab, preferably as big as a king crab, so that she could have a good meal in the evening.

She may not know that there is no such thing as king crab here.

The crabs here are usually swimming crabs and blue crabs.

Chen Jingle doesn't like eating crabs. He thinks they are very troublesome. He doesn't want to eat them even if they are given to him for free. I wonder if Li Beixing will eat them.

It seems that she doesn't eat it. I've never seen her eat crabs or other seafood at buffets before.

However, if he really sees a particularly large crab, Chen Jingle doesn't mind bending down to pick it up.

……

What Chen Jingle is most interested in is digging razor clams, or king clams.

Maybe it's because I find it challenging.

Usually only experts can dig out the king clams, and ordinary people can't even find the hole of the king clams.

The first videos of sea-hunting he came across were of people digging for king clams. After those "salt kings" discovered the king clam holes, they would sprinkle salt into them. It is estimated that they are half responsible for the saltiness of the sea water.

What should Chen Jingle do if he didn’t bring salt?
It’s not a big problem, just dig it out directly. This won’t be a problem for him.

The so-called difficult thing is not difficult for those who can't do it, but it's not difficult for those who can do it.

The principle of digging out the king clams is actually very simple. The king clams holes under the sand are slanted. By removing the sand on the surface, you can predict the direction of the hole based on the inclination angle and cut off the king clams' escape route in advance!

Can't run a little!
It seems simple, but it actually tests one's eyesight. Many people cannot find the clam holes even if they stare at the ground for a long time.

As for whether the Clam King would scold him for "being able to dig accurately even without vision, he knows whether he has used it or not", Chen Jingle would only laugh.

After searching for a long time, Chen Jingle’s favorite clams finally appeared!
His eyes lit up and he quickly took a shovel and scraped away the layer of sand on the surface, revealing a thumb-sized slanted hole underneath.

It is indeed the Razor Clam King Cave!

Such a big one!
You can even see the King Clam running inside.

There was no way Chen Jingle would let it run away. He looked at the slanted direction of the cave entrance and judged its approximate depth. He quickly predicted the direction and speed of the Clam King's escape and quickly dug a deep pit before it ran away.

The noise of digging sand was quite loud, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun. "What are you digging?" Li Beixing asked curiously.

"King of clams!"

Chen Jingle is concise and to the point.

Li Beixing's eyes lit up: "I see, it's like sprinkling salt into the hole, and then it will come out by itself, right?"

"Well, but we didn't bring salt, so we can only dig it hard." Chen Jingle said with a smile.

Now he felt that he had dug through the hole of the clam king, so he reached in and dug it out.

Sure enough, I found it as soon as I touched it.

It still wanted to run, but Chen Jingle would not let it do that. He grabbed the shell and slowly pulled it out.

If I wasn't afraid of breaking off the clam king's nose, I would have just pulled it out.

After the king clam was caught, Chen Jingle shook off the mud and water stains on its body and finally saw its full appearance.

Li Beixing exclaimed: "Wow, it's so big!"

you do not say.

It’s bigger than Chen Jingle’s thumb, definitely the king of clams!

The meat of this one alone is equivalent to that of several ordinary snails.

Chen Jingle was very satisfied. Only a clam king like this was worthy of his personal attention.

He put it in the bucket and picked up the small shovel: "Keep going!"

……

With the joint efforts of the three people, they turned this small piece of beach upside down and dug up a lot of shellfish, such as conches, clams, razor clams and the like, filling half a bucket.

Thanks to Chen Jingle's sharp eyes, he was able to find the right one every time.

Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun followed behind him, digging with great pleasure.

After digging in the clean beach area, we slowly walked towards the wet water area. The wet water area was a little muddy, and the most common places were ribbons.

The scientific name of scallop is Amphiprion scallop, and some of the common scallops are made of scallops.

Chen Jingle had sharp eyes and saw a webbing in the mud and sand. He pulled it out directly. It was quite big.

Chen Qiyun widened her eyes and asked, "What is this?"

"Scallops. I just ate them a few days ago." Chen Jingle replied.

Chen Qiyun asked curiously, "Why is it different?"

"..."

Chen Jingle: "Of course the ones with opened shells are different from the ones without, and the tails are cut off."

"Oh~"

Chen Qiyun was also embarrassed by her own stupidity and smiled. But she was still very happy to have found such a big tape.

She began to try to see if she could dig some on her own without Chen Jingle's help.

Li Beixing followed Chen Jingle closely, never moving more than three meters away.

Chen Jingle moved towards the reef area.

I turned over a stone and found a small crab hiding inside.

Chen Jingle didn't like it and didn't pick it up.

"Don't you want this?" Li Beixing asked curiously.

Chen Jingle said casually: "It's too small, there's not much meat, it's not tasty, I'm too lazy to eat it."

Li Beixing didn't say anything else. She also felt that it was a little small. But when she saw those people who came to the beach to catch crabs online, they even caught all kinds of small crabs. She subconsciously thought that this one was not small.

The two were lucky enough to find two palm-sized black sea bream stranded in the cracks of a pile of rocks.

This should be the biggest harvest so far, except for a few king clams.

Li Beixing was very surprised. He didn't expect that he could catch fish.

"So there are still a lot of unexpected gains in this kind of reef area. If it were in other areas, we would just have to see if there were any fish in the nets or traps abandoned by the fishermen."

Chen Jingle said with a smile.

"Will they jump out?" Li Beixing was worried because the plastic bucket was a bit short.

Chen Jingle waved his hands: "It's okay, the tide has almost receded. Even if they jump out, they can't escape. We can just catch them back."

"Oh oh."

Li Beixing looked around and realized that the sea water had completely receded without him noticing, and the sand in the area where they were was completely exposed.

More and more people come down to catch seafood.

Just when Chen Jingle wanted to see if there were any other fish, he turned over a puffer fish.

As for why pufferfish are in the sea...

Well, because pufferfish have the property of migratory, even though the word "river" is in their name, they can also live in the ocean. They are adaptable to both fresh and sea water and will not be unable to survive like other freshwater fish that cannot adapt to the water quality.

This little thing is quite interesting. After Chen Jingle slapped it twice, it immediately became angry and its body swelled up.

Chen Jingle was very satisfied. He used it to brush off the mud on the surface of his rain boots. Then he threw it back into the sea with great force, creating a small splash of water.

Li Beixing was stunned watching from the side.

Is this right?
Chen Jingle turned around and saw her dumbfounded expression, so he grinned and said, "There's a saying among the fishermen that shoe-shining is the greatest respect for pufferfish. I learned that from them."

Li Beixing burst out laughing.

Ok!

Sometimes I feel that Chen Jingle is very mature and steady, and sometimes I feel that he is childish and cute like a child.

Humans are truly contradictory and amazing creatures.

Of course, in the eyes of someone who likes you, these are all advantages.

Chen Qiyun came back with another bucket and boasted happily: "I dug up five belts!"

Chen Jingle looked down at the bucket and was surprised: "Not bad, they are all quite big. I can make some steamed scallops with vermicelli and garlic tonight."

Chen Qiyun, who was praised, was full of energy. At the same time, she was surprised to see two more sea fish in Chen Jingle's bucket.

After knowing that it was found in this reef area, I immediately forgot about the tape completely.

Digging for scallops is not as fun as catching fish!
There are also crabs and mantis shrimps!

……

Chen Jingle stood up and stretched, feeling a little tired. He looked around and saw that there were relatively few people here, but there were many more in the parking lot.

It was a wise choice to choose this place!
Suddenly he froze.

In the muddy area not far away, it seemed like... someone was stuck in the mud.

She's a slightly fat woman.

He hurried over and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, if you're trapped, don't struggle or move! Someone will come to rescue you soon!"

However, when the other party heard his words, instead of stopping, he became even more flustered and tried to climb up on his own.

Chen Jingle: “…”

If only it were so easy to save yourself from a quagmire.

I told you not to move, don't you understand?

Without even having time to complain, he turned around and ran towards the shore.

It all happened so fast that Li Beixing and Chen Qiyun were a little overwhelmed when they reacted.
