Chapter 193: 【192】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 43 (First Update)

Every time after a storm, when she went to harvest the sea, the yield was particularly plentiful.

Xiao Yu thought about it and figured, by tomorrow morning, it would probably be another great harvest.

Just as she was thinking, a heavy rain started pattering outside.

She casually cooked a pot of clam instant noodles in the evening. After boiling the clams, she added the instant noodle seasoning, making the soup exceptionally savory. After finishing every drop of the soup and noodles, she washed the pot, turned off the stove, and once it was dark outside, there was nothing else to do, so she went into the space to do some farming work.

The next day, as soon as it was faintly light, she got up. The tide was going out by six in the morning, so she put on her leather trousers, grabbed a bucket, and went out.

By mid-May, the weather had already warmed up. On the sandy beach from which the tide had retreated, clams and big hairy clams were common sights, and in no time, she could scrape up nearly half a bucket. The mere sound of scraping with a small rake told how much good stuff was hidden beneath.

Occasionally, she would also find long scallops in the cracks of rocks, big crabs hiding in the sand, octopuses, shrimps...

Every trip to the sea was as thrilling as a treasure hunt.

She kept scraping at rocks to find treasures hidden in the crevices, like Mao Bei and abalones on the rock walls, spicy snails and horse teeth under the rocks, and sometimes even octopuses and lobsters could be found on overturned stones. So it was always most exciting to turn over rocks while harvesting the sea.

She used to lack the strength, but now she had the strength; turning stones was a breeze. Of course, since she flipped a lot of stones, big and small, her haul was always considerable.

Two big red buckets; one bucket filled with clams, red sea snails, spicy snails, clams, horse teeth, Mao Bei, abalones, scallops, green mussels, and other soft-bodied or shellfish seafood.

The other bucket contained eels, octopuses, crabs, shrimps, lobsters, and more.

On the beach, kelp, seaweed, jellyfish skin, and various small fish, shrimps, and empty shells were scattered everywhere.

When leaving, she passed a circle of rocks surrounded on all sides, where she saw a dense family of sea urchins—haha, another fortune made.

She kept using tongs to clasp, clasp, clasp, and occasionally got two or three sea cucumbers.

In the muddy water on the beach, she saw hairy clams eating small Qing fish, a male crab that had just molted appearing soft and almost dead, but its crab eggs were very fatty, naturally scooped into the bucket.

She also spotted bamboo clams on the beach but catching those required sprinkling salt, which she found too troublesome, so she seldom caught them, especially since the seafood she already had was enough to sell and eat.

Also, crabs are differentiated by gender, and post-mating, male crabs turned red on their bellies, making them especially fatty.

If she encountered small fish, shrimps, small crabs, or those laying eggs, she would let them go back to the sea, adhering to the longstanding rules followed by the fishermen.

Eventually, two buckets weren’t enough for her catch. With no other choice, she ran home to grab two more and brought those two buckets back.

This time, she changed locations to a spot with more reefs, where she could find lots of shrimps, crabs, snake-shaped eels. If she noticed sand bulging out in a round, egg shape on the beach, it meant there was something underneath. Digging it up, she found a big sea snail hiding inside.

Moving forward, in the water on the beach, lay a beautiful big sea star and a large patch of money snails. Although small, they were really beautiful, with particularly clear patterns and varied colors.

She kept at it until the tide was almost high, then reluctantly carried the now full two buckets back home.
