Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

After lunch, Wen Chuheng hurriedly took a boat to leave Banana Leaf Island. The two little ones were laughing in the room, but soon they became quiet.

While they were taking a nap, Hua Ke successfully assembled the dining table and a few small stools, so that guests had a place to sit.

She asked Pu Chun to go back to the dormitory to rest, but he was unwilling to do so, saying that he had not helped much in taking care of the two little ones in the morning and wanted to help her turn the soil.

The two little ones slept until after two o'clock. Seeing the adults working, they excitedly said they wanted to help. One of them handed tools to Hua Ke, and the other took a small hoe and followed Pu Chunlai to weed.

Time passed unnoticed as everyone chatted and laughed. Hua Ke saw Pu Chunlai was sweating profusely from exhaustion, so she stopped what she was doing and said, "Let's stop here today. Why don't we go to the beach and see if there's anything we can pick up?"

"Okay! Mom, I want to pick up an octopus and give it to Uncle Wang."

“It’s good to have dreams.”

Hua Ke took the beach-hunting equipment and headed to the beach she had visited yesterday.

The first time she took her two children to the sea, she chose a flat place where it was not easy to step on empty space. She didn't go to places with many reefs because there were a lot of mosses and oysters in shells, which made it easy to fall. In a few days, it would be the 15th day of the lunar calendar - the day when high tide comes, so she and her children would go to pick up big catches.

The first, second, third, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth days of every month are the days of low tide. The tide level is very low, exposing more seabed, making them perfect for fishing.

The sea breeze blew in, bringing a cool breeze mixed with a hint of salt. A group of Mediterranean-style black-naped terns rested on the edge of the rocks, tilting their heads to observe the strange islanders who entered their territory.

The same sea, different colors. Looking far away, the sea water is azure blue, while the sea water in front of you is turquoise because there is a coral reef underneath.

Wen Nanzhi stood barefoot on the soft sand. The waves advanced bravely while she playfully stepped back, playing with the waves.

Bombshell frowned and pulled at the rubber gloves on his hands, "Mom, can I not wear this?"

"No, some seafood, no, marine life will secrete poisonous mucus. If you accidentally touch it, you will be stung by it, and it will be red, swollen and painful. Do you want your hands to be uncomfortable?"

Zhapao shook his head and dug in the golden sand with a small shovel.

Seeing the shell, Zha Pao threw it aside in disdain and continued digging until he dug a sand pit half a meter deep. He stopped and asked in confusion: "Mom, why haven't I seen the octopus yet?"

Hua Ke: “…”

Who told him that he could catch an octopus just by digging in the sand?

"Ah - Mom! Mom, save me!" Wen Nanzhi threw down the big colander and ran towards Hua Ke in horror.

"What happened to Pumpkin? Was he bitten?"

Wen Nanzhi grabbed her clothes and said, "That bald-headed bird grabbed me!"

Not only did he catch you, he also pulled you on top of him.

Explosive Cannon ran over and saw clearly what was behind his sister's clothes. He added insult to injury and said, "Haha, there is bird poop on your clothes, hahaha..."

"Woo——"

"It's okay, just go home and wash your clothes. Pumpkin, do you still want to play? If not, let's go home and take a shower." Hua Ke scraped the excrement off her clothes and took a few steps to wash her gloves with sea water.

It's fun to go to the beach. Wen Nanzhi stopped crying, wiped her tears with her sleeve, picked up the colander again, and threw the yellow clams she had turned out into the bucket.

While a young man was obsessed with digging sand, the sharp-eyed girl found a lot of seafood, including hexagonal snails, flower crabs, swimming crabs, flower crabs, small needle fish, moon shells, cat's eye snails, starfish, octopus hiding in the shells, a little porcupine with a bit of temper, and even caught two poisonous diarrhea crabs.

She likes small animals very much, especially those that are edible.

"Pumpkin is amazing. You found so many treasures. Tonight's meals depend on you."

The sea is really friendly to newcomers who have never been to the sea. In her bucket, there are only a few small clams, two half-dead sea cucumbers, and an incomplete sea kelp...

Seeing that his sister had found so many trophies, Zhapao was unwilling to be left behind and insisted on going to the reef to look for treasure.

"Then let Brother Alai take you there. Walk slowly so you don't fall."

I don’t know if it was because of the bird poop just now, but Hua Ke’s luck got better. She picked up several piglet snails near her daughter. This kind of snail is very similar to the tiger clam, but their status is completely different. The former can be eaten with confidence, while the latter is a second-level protected species. If you eat it, congratulations on getting the life-in-jail package.

In the shallow water after the tide receded, there were many crabs, some were looking for food, some were lying quietly on the sand, and some were making circles and crossing each other. You could easily catch two crabs that were very close to each other in one hand, and the couple would return home together.

On the other side of the reef, explosions and Pu Chunlai's exclamations were heard from time to time. It seemed that they also had many unexpected gains.

It was getting darker and darker, and the sea breeze felt a little cold on my body.

"My girl, stop digging, let's go home." Hua Ke said, picking out the inedible varieties in the Wen Nanzhi bucket.

"Yeah. Mom, can you come again tomorrow?"

"can."

"Brother! Come home! Blast the cannon!"

Hearing his sister's call, Zhapao excitedly went back with a shovel and tongs, and Pu Chunlai helped him carry the bucket.

"Pumpkin, I found a lot of good stuff!"

"Me too! But my mom threw away a lot of them. She said they are endangered species, and there are fewer and fewer of them in the world. We can't eat them, so we have to protect them."

Pu Chunlai scratched his head. Is there such a saying? In his hometown, there are only two kinds of sayings: delicious or not delicious. As long as it is edible, they will catch it, regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, or how many there are. They even dare to eat pufferfish, and never think about the other side.

Hua Ke invited Pu Chunlai to have dinner at her home, but he declined to do it next time. It was probably because Wen Chuheng was not at home, so he felt embarrassed to stay.

With the help of Pu Chunlai, Zha Pao got a lot of abalone, caught two horse-faced pufferfish, three small green dragonfish, as well as spicy snails, small geoducks and other things.

There is a rich variety of ingredients tonight. Hua Ke took the two children to clean and process them, clean the internal organs, put the shellfish that needed to spit out the sand in a basin of clean water, add some oil, and arrange the firecrackers and pumpkins to shake them in turns to make them spit out the sand faster.

Except for the puffer fish which is skinned and steamed, the rest are cooked in one pot. However, different ingredients are put into the pot at different times. For example, the snails are put in at the very beginning because they need to be slowly boiled in cold water. Otherwise, if they suddenly encounter hot water, they will shrink inside and it will be difficult to scoop out the meat.

Hua Ke also put two packs of egg instant noodles bought in Yangcheng into the dish, and got a deluxe seafood noodle set!

As long as she doesn't add seasoning or cook, the original flavor of the seafood won't be ruined. The two children can make the dipping sauce according to their own preferences. The island is very suitable for her, who is not good at cooking but likes to eat meat.

Two hours after arriving home, the mother and her two children were very satisfied with their meal and sat in a row on the recliners rubbing their stomachs.

"Mom, it would be nice if grandpa, grandma and my uncle were here too. They have never eaten so much meat."

"Then we can dry the sea fish and send it back to them. When the busy farming season is over, we can invite them to stay with us."

"Hurrah!"

The island has limited electricity supply and the lights in the family area are turned off at 8:30 p.m. The two children had a lot of fun today and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

Hua Ke was not used to going to bed early. Wen Chuheng would not be back today. She was bored and thought of Wen Xiaoting who was still going crazy in the Pubao Space.

There were no people living in the nearby houses, so no one would come. Hua Ke asked Pu Bao to send someone out to entertain her.
