Chapter 12 Beachcombing? What, you only eat fish and don't even recognize other seafood?
The next morning, Niu Er came to find Zhou Wu with a basket on his back. Zhou Wu was so excited last night that he didn't sleep until late. In his previous life, Zhou Wu often watched live streamers going beachcombing in short videos, so he was very interested in it. He even made a pair of tongs overnight to catch a bunch of blue crabs.
"Brother Wu, we need to hurry, or they'll have picked them all up."
Niu Er kept urging Zhou Wu from the doorway.
"Oh, good."
Zhou Wu had never experienced this before, so he could only follow Niu Er's arrangements.
"Zhou Lang, I want to go too."
"Okay."
Just as the two were about to leave, Li Baiwei chased after them. She had heard about this from Zhou Wu last night, and she had been spending most of her days alone at home, which was getting a bit boring. So she wanted to go with him today. She thought Zhou Wu would refuse her, but to her surprise, he readily agreed.
Zhou Wu and Li Baiwei were not very familiar with the route here, so they could only follow Niu Er. After walking for a while, Zhou Wu realized that the direction he had entered the mountain from was actually on the other side. No wonder he hadn't noticed that there was actually a coastline nearby.
Before arriving at the beach, Zhou Wu had many images of beachcombing in his mind, but when he got there, he was dumbfounded. He had never seen so many people since he transmigrated.
"There must be at least a hundred people here, right? Has our whole village come?"
Zhou Wu stared blankly at the shoreline, which was full of people.
"Brother Wu, didn't I tell you? Today is the once-a-month low tide, and the whole village is counting on today to have some meat."
"Damn, what are we waiting for? Let's charge!"
The three of them immediately joined the fish-collecting army.
However, it wasn't long before Zhou Wu noticed a problem. There were oysters all over the ground, but it seemed like no one was picking them up. At first, he thought it was because there were too many oysters and everyone was tired of eating them. But when Zhou Wu realized that none of the hundred or so people gathering seafood were picking up oysters, something was wrong. It was impossible for everyone to be tired of eating them. Oysters were a rare delicacy.
"Hey, Brother Wu, look, I found a fish. This fish is pretty good, it must weigh at least two pounds."
Niu Er caught a sea fish weighing about two pounds in a small puddle ahead and was overjoyed.
"Wow, Brother Niu Er, that's amazing."
Li Baiwei was happy to see Niu Er catch a fish, but Zhou Wu raised his question with a puzzled look on his face.
"Niu Er, I have a question for you. Don't the villagers eat oysters?"
"Oysters? What are oysters?"
Niu Er didn't even know what oysters were.
"This is it."
Zhou Wu pointed to the oysters attached to the rocks, indicating to Niu Er.
"Brother Wu, are you talking about this stone worm? Can you eat it?"
Faced with Zhou Wu's doubts, Niu Er was even more puzzled. Could this stone-like thing be eaten? Could it be that Brother Wu hadn't fully recovered from falling from the tree last time?
"I rely on."
It turns out they weren't tired of eating oysters; they simply didn't know they could eat them. To be surrounded by such delicious food and go hungry is truly a tragedy.
So, amidst the surprised and puzzled looks of the crowd, Zhou Wu began collecting the enormous oysters.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, calm down. You can't eat these stone worms, why are you picking them up?"
"Niu Er, tonight I'll show you what true culinary delights are all about."
Li Baiwei, standing to the side, was also curious. It was her first time at the seaside and the first time she had ever heard of stone worms. However, having grown up in luxury, there was no delicacy in the world that she hadn't tried. Just like these stone worms, she had never heard of them before, let alone eaten them. That could only mean that they were indeed inedible. However, after spending the past few days with Zhou Wu, she knew that Zhou Wu was not a boastful person.
Zhou Wu quickly filled a basket with oysters, all of which were bigger than the palm of his hand, like shoe insoles. He had only seen them in videos before, and they were not the kind of oysters that cost ten yuan for three at roadside stalls.
"Next time, bring a small knife to shuck oysters. Carrying them back with the shells on is heavy and not worth it."
Zhou Wu's side was already full, and now he was just waiting for Niu Er and Li Baiwei. However, Niu Er and Li Baiwei seemed to be only interested in fish, and didn't even look at other marine life.
After most of the day, apart from catching a two-pound fish at the beginning, Niu Er hadn't caught anything else. At this moment, Niu Er saw a man not far away with a sea fish hanging from his waist that weighed at least ten pounds. The man deliberately showed off in front of Niu Er, which made Niu Er very angry.
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of?"
"That's right, we're sure to find a fish even bigger than him."
Li Baiwei is still a young girl after all, and she couldn't help but complain from the side.
"Ah~"
Niu Er, who was already fuming, was rummaging through the muddy puddle for fish when he was suddenly attacked by something. When he pulled his hand out of the water, a large blue crab was clamping down on his hand.
"Damn, I'm so lucky."
This giant blue crab was almost as big as Li Baiwei's face. Niu Er was about to smash the crab to death when Zhou Wu stopped him in time.
"Niu Er, no, this is good stuff."
"Brother, you're telling me you can eat sea spiders?"
"So this is what we call sea spiders? Well, that's quite a fitting description. Niu Er, let me tell you, this thing is also a rare delicacy."
Zhou Wu took the large blue crab and threw it into his basket. Since there was no rope, he had to use oysters to weigh it down to prevent it from escaping.
Niu Er and Li Baiwei were already used to it, letting Zhou Wu start attacking the sea spider again while they remained obedient.
"The tide is coming in, hurry up!"
Suddenly someone shouted, and the people collecting fish on the shore stood up, looked at the sea, and walked towards the shore with reluctance on their faces.
As time went by, the tide quickly rose, and the mudflats where everyone had been collecting fish soon became the sea.
"Brother Wu, let's go back too. Today's harvest was pretty good; we've got about ten pounds of fish."
After the tide came in, it was impossible to catch any fish. Although Niu Er was a little dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.
"Brother Wu, divide this fish into three portions. One portion for you and Bai Wei, and one portion for me."
"Okay, take those two, and you can take the rest back with you. Then go and call your mother and sister over. We'll have dinner at my house tonight."
Zhou Wu had mentioned during the day that he would invite Niu Er to try the delicious oysters and crabs that evening.
"Eating stone worms and sea spiders?"
Niu Er seemed a little worried about whether he would be able to eat his fill that night, but he didn't want to offend Zhou Wu, so he could only agree, after all, Zhou Wu meant well.
"There are still fish here."
While Niu Er went back to call his mother and sister, Zhou Wu began to make preparations.
"Zhou Lang, can you eat these sea spiders and oysters?"
Don't worry, I guarantee you'll like it.
Despite Zhou Wu's assurance, Li Baiwei looked at the ugly thing in the basket and couldn't imagine how delicious it could be.
