"Oh my god, crabs, crabs everywhere! Crabs all over the floor!"

"Don't be stunned, pick it up quickly!"

Pick up as much as you can before the villagers notice that the typhoon has stopped.

There are so many crabs, probably because they were scared by the typhoon and are now looking for shelter!

"This crab doesn't look like a swimming crab, nor does it look like a blue crab. It looks more like a stone crab!"

Fu Wan picked up a crab with tongs, glanced at it and then threw it into the bucket.

Compared to blue crabs, stone crabs are not only brown in color, similar to stone, but also have more pronounced serrations along the edges of their shells. Their meat is also fatter, firmer, and more chewy than blue crabs. Another delicious variety of stone crab is the red-shelled red crab, which Fu Wan caught during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The next day, Ye Xiaocui steamed it. Fu Wan took two bites and was impressed by its flavor, which was much more delicious than swimming crabs or blue crabs.

Ye Xiaocui and Fu Ming didn't care what kind of crab it was at this time. It was a rare coincidence that the mother and son both grabbed the crab with their claws when they saw it.

The main thing is to be fast, accurate and ruthless.

Occasionally, some clever crabs would escape quickly, and they were too lazy to chase them. There was nothing they could do because there were too many crabs and they couldn't catch them all.

"Aming, Awan!"

A shout suddenly rang out on the quiet beach. Even though Fu Liang lowered his voice a lot, Fu Wan immediately heard her name.

After recognizing the figures in the distance, she waved quickly. Sure enough, Fu Liang and Jiang Chunlan also walked over quickly with tools in hand.

"Xiao Cui, I went to your house to look for you guys, but when I saw the door was locked, I knew you must be at the beach!"

Ye Xiaocui didn't have the energy to chat with her old sister, so she hurriedly urged her, "Chunlan, hurry up and pick it up. By the time those people from the village come, there won't be any left!"

She had originally thought of calling Jiang Chunlan, but then she thought about the temperament of this old sister and decided that they would definitely meet on the beach.

When Jiang Chunlan heard Ye Xiaocui's words, she thought of the old women in the village who could even pick out clams, and her scalp suddenly went numb.

"Okay, okay, I'll pick it up right away. Oh, there's so much crab roe!"

Jiang Chunlan caught her first crab on the nearest reef. It weighed about a pound and was too heavy to hold with tongs, so she had to grab it with her hands.

After catching it, she habitually looked at the male and female crabs, but unexpectedly found that the belly of the female crab was bright yellow, and the yellow inside seemed to be overflowing.

"Huang Duo is so good, Huang Duo is so delicious!"

Although Ye Xiaocui was busy, she would never let her old sister's words go to waste.

Jiang Chunlan nodded, that was indeed the truth.

Some people were catching crabs, but Boss Fu, carrying a snakeskin bag, was picking up sea cucumbers on the ground.

These sea cucumbers were not like crabs that would run around, so he filled up half the bag in no time.

They had been busy for less than half an hour when they heard footsteps on the road nearby.

somebody is coming!

Sure enough, the fishermen who make their living from the sea are not slow to react.

"Wow, Boss Fu, your family is really quick! They're picking up the trash right away!"

The person who spoke was Liu Sanniang, the wife of the village chief Fu Lao. When Fu Lao Da heard someone calling him, he stood up and greeted him.

"Auntie, please stop talking and pick it up quickly!"

Liu Sanniang did not come alone, she was followed by her son Fu Jian and his wife.

Young people are not as chatty as old people. While Liu Sanniang was greeting them, Fu Jian and his wife had already started picking up seafood on the ground.

They deliberately didn't get too close to Fu Ming and his group because people who go fishing at the beach also have a sense of territory.

Although they are all unowned, they have a first come first served basis. If both sides refuse to give in, it will easily lead to disputes and even fighting.

Fu Lao Da's family would not be so overbearing. They had picked up a lot themselves, and Liu Sanniang's family had a good relationship with them, so they would not care about these things.

Not long after Liu Sanniang and her companions arrived, Wang Xiuer came running over with Fu Qing.

When she saw Fu Qing, Fu Wan specially called her over and asked her to follow her to catch stone crabs.

About ten minutes later, the sky in the east began to turn pale, and the villagers came over one after another, carrying tools.

Seeing that more and more people were coming and there were no more crabs to be seen, Fu Wan thought it was time to go home.

Crabs are still delicious when they are fresh. Now I can go home and steam a few crabs and cook some porridge for my family as breakfast.

"It's better to come early. Boss Fu, you guys must have hundreds of pounds of crabs here!"

A villager nearby regretted that he had slept too deeply.

When they arrived, there were only some dead fish washed ashore by the waves on the beach. Because it had been so long, the fish were no longer fresh.

There were still claw marks of crabs crawling on the beach. Seeing Boss Fu carrying seafood and preparing to go back, he couldn't help but regret that he had gotten up too late.

Oh my, I should have come out when the water was released in the middle of the night. But I was scared when I heard the wind howling like a ghost outside, and ended up missing out on so many seafood!

Although the recycling price of crabs is not high, about 70 cents per pound, but if it is 100 pounds, it would be seven dollars.

Seven dollars is enough for my family to eat pork for a while!

Faced with the villagers' discussions, Boss Fu didn't care and just smiled at everyone.

"There are still many crabs under this reef. If you look around, you should be able to find a lot."

They had only caught half of the crabs on the beach before, and the other half had escaped. However, the crabs didn't run too far, and most of them found mud holes under the rocks to hide.

So if they look for them patiently, they will definitely catch a lot.

Hearing what Boss Fu said, everyone became excited. Qian Xiaohua happened to be among this group of people, but while she was picking up the trash, she actually ran behind Fu Wan.

Fu Wan picked up the bucket and was about to go back from the edge of the trench, but unexpectedly, someone next to her lifted up a reef, and then a shadow quickly ran towards her. She reflexively raised her foot and stepped on the thing.

“This is my crab!”

Qian Xiaohua put down the reef in her hand and yelled at Fu Wan before she even stood up.

Fu Wan raised her eyebrows speechlessly, "You said it's yours? Then I said it's under my feet!"

When Qian Xiaohua heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum, she heard Ye Xiaocui's voice coming from not far away.

"Awan, we have to go back. The two children are about to wake up!"

Fu Wan responded and then walked away. It was just a crab, she didn't care about it at all. She just wanted to piss off Qian Xiaohua.

As soon as she lifted her feet, Qian Xiaohua immediately grabbed the crab.

Even the tongs are useless!

The speed of the movement was so fast that Fu Wan was amazed. However, when she casually glanced at the crab, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the bucket in her hand.

"You can't eat this crab, it's poisonous!"
