Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 62: Picking up Lobster

Nao Nao and his companions finally escaped from the clutches of the octopus.

"It's really rare to see an octopus this big?" Erdan rubbed his wrist, which was red from being strangled by the octopus, and asked, "Nannan, how did you meet this thing?"

Nannan said aggrievedly: "I just saw a small crab and was about to catch it to play with it, but it disappeared in a flash, as if it was dragged into a hole nearby by something.

I wanted to go over and see what was going on, so I put my hand over and suddenly the thing jumped out of the hole and wrapped around my hand. I was so scared!"

As she spoke, Nannan patted her wildly beating chest.

Nao Nao said: "You must have encountered an octopus hole. It thought you were its prey, so it entangled you."

After dealing with the octopus, the group began to disperse and go fishing.

Going fishing is a technical job that requires a certain amount of experience.

What kind of seafood likes to live in what kind of environment and where to catch them all require long-term accumulation of experience.

For example, crabs and flower crabs like to hide under rocks or under water plants.

Flying crabs prefer to move underwater. If they are stranded on the beach due to low tide, flying crabs, unlike flower crabs, prefer to lie on the sand.

Just now, Li Yuer found a flying crab lying on the sand.

The flying crab is blue, which is different from the color of the sand. It cannot rely on color camouflage alone. It is very smart and knows how to burrow into the sand.

Unfortunately, this flying crab was not hidden tightly enough, and the shape of a crab shell was revealed where it was lying on the sand.

Li Yuer slowly approached, then suddenly attacked, caught the flying crab by the back and pulled it out.

The flying crab struggled frantically in Li Yuer's hand, waving its claws, but unfortunately, its claws could not reach back to clamp Li Yuer's hand.

But it was too big, as big as an adult's palm, and Li Yuer was only eight years old at the time and lacked the strength.

"Bang!" The flying crab broke free from Li Yuer's hand and fell to the ground.

As soon as it landed, the flying crab swung its eight claws and moved horizontally on the beach at an incredibly fast speed, and soon disappeared.

"Ah?! How could this happen!" Li Yu'er stood there in a daze, seemingly still not recovering from the shock of losing his prey, "I was careless!"

At this time, Erdan came over and said, "Yubaoer, iron generals are not delicious. Don't waste your energy trying to catch them. Pick up conches instead. They are all over the beach. Conches are clumsy and slow, so they are easy to catch. When they are roasted, they have a lot of meat and are very tender."

As he said that, Erdan kindly put a fist-sized oyster snail into Li Yuer's bucket.

"Thank you, Erdan, but I like to eat Iron General." Li Yuer said as he lowered his head to search to see if he could catch the flying crab again.

"Ah?! You like eating Tiejiangjun." Erdan had never met anyone who liked eating Tiejiangjun, and was confused for a moment. Then he rolled his eyes and said, "I'll help you catch Tiejiangjun, how about you give me some candy?"

Li Yuer looked at him with amusement. It turned out that he was thinking about his candy.

"Okay." Li Yuer said readily, "One crab and one piece of candy. If it's not enough, I'll make it up to you when I get home."

"Really?" Erdan's eyes lit up, "Then we have a deal." He looked around mysteriously, and found Nannan there. He said unnaturally, "Nannan, how about you catch them too? We can exchange them for candy. Don't tell them, okay?"

Nannan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay not to tell them. You can give me an extra piece later."

Erdan was stunned for a moment, then said reluctantly, "Okay then."

So, Li Yuer hired two people to help catch Tie Jiangjun.

These children all grew up by the sea and are experts at catching seafood.

Although they don't usually eat iron generals and were not very skilled at catching them at the beginning, they soon found the technique to catch crab generals.

Erdan quickly flipped up a stone slab, and while the flower crab was still in a daze, he immediately reached out and pressed its back shell. With a press and a lift, and then a throw, the flower crab was caught into the wooden barrel.

Nannan is a girl and is timid, but she has her own way of catching crabs. She is good at finding flying crabs hidden in the sand.

Once she identified one, she quickly clamped her foot on the crab.

The force is just right, not breaking the crab, but still firmly pinning it into the mud and sand.

Then Li Yuer grabbed the crab with fire tongs and threw it into the bucket. The two of them worked very well together and never let the crab escape or get caught.

After catching half a bucket of crabs, Li Yuer felt that it was enough to eat, so he stopped eating.

There were many kinds of shellfish on the beach, and Li Yuer just picked out the big ones.

She picked up more than ten cat's-eye snails as big as fists, and in a short while, her small bucket was full.

The resources are so abundant that they are even more abundant than the farms in Bao Hai’s previous life.

In the past, seafood needed to be carefully searched for one by one, but now they are everywhere and you can pick up a bucket without any effort.

It was so cool. Today's harvest was really great. Li Yuer was in a very good mood at the moment.

“Nannan, come here quickly!” Naonao stood on a reef and waved at the people. He put his hands together like a trumpet and shouted to them, “Look what we found!”

"Let's go and take a look!" Li Yu'er took Nannan's hand and went over there. Erdan followed closely behind with a bucket full of seafood.

There is a big puddle in the middle of the reef, and there are some small puddles of different sizes on the edge of the big puddle. In one of the puddles, which is the size of a rural iron pot, a blue-back lobster is trapped.

The puddle was relatively shallow, and the lobster's head and half of its back were exposed above the water.

"Wow! Uncle, it's a green shell! It's so big!"

There are many kinds of lobsters. Li Yuer initially judged that the one in front of him should be the common lobster, commonly known as the blue dragon or green shell.

The blue lobster is relatively small in size, generally weighing a little over one kilogram, but it has high edible value, a thin shell, and sweet meat, and is relatively more delicious than ordinary lobsters.

Erdan said enviously, "At this time of year, we can sell them in town for quite a bit of money."

Nao Nao was so happy that his mouth corners almost stretched to his ears. Lobsters usually live in deep water and are difficult to catch. They are heavy, have hard shells, and their claws are very sharp. Ordinary fishing nets cannot hold them. Even if they do, they will be broken by their claws. Often, the lobsters are not caught, and the fishing nets are damaged instead.

Lobsters generally do not stay on the beach easily and are rarely encountered when fishing at the beach.

This time it was Naonao and his friends who were lucky. The lobster must have come to the reef area to hunt with the tide during high tide, but it did not have time to return to the sea with the tide during low tide, and was trapped in a puddle between the reefs.

During the open fishing season, the price of lobster is about the same as pork, about fourteen cents. Now it is the closed fishing season, so the price should be much higher than this.

"Hurry up and pick it up." said Naonao.

Biaozi picked up the scoop net and carefully caught the lobster, fearing that the claws would be broken.

Lobsters without claws will have a compromised appearance and their price will be greatly reduced.

After being trapped in the bay, the lobster struggled for a long time. At this time, it was exhausted and was easily caught without much effort.

Naonao poured all the seafood in his bucket into Biaozi's bucket and put the lobster in alone.
