Chapter 347 It’s finally sunny
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the wind finally stopped, the sun broke through the clouds, and the golden sunlight shone on the earth.

When Mr. Li came over from the old house, he brought the parcel list and said it was sent by Ah Huan.

After seeing this, Li Changle said happily: "That's good. Tomorrow we can go out to sea together."

"Then when you go to Shuilu Zhang, pick up the package."

Li Changle nodded, "It's time to pick up the tricycles and bicycles that the scrap Zhang family ordered."

He went into the house to get the ticket, rode his tricycle to the old house and called Chen Yongwei to go to Pan Town together.

After picking up the package at the post office, I went to Zhang's house at Shuilu Waste Store, picked up a tricycle and a bicycle, and then went to the pier again.

Tomorrow is September 1st, and there will be a high tide. They plan to leave for the dock at three o'clock in the morning. This time they will be out for four days to prepare for the operation.

I told my friend Lao Zhang what time we would arrive at the dock tomorrow morning and asked them to deliver the diesel and ice to the dock in advance for loading onto the ship.

After setting the time, Chen Yongwei drove the Xusheng towards the dock.

When the ship arrived at the dock, we saw that many ships had already returned to the dock from the safe harbor, and everyone was preparing to go out to sea tomorrow morning.

Having not been out to sea for several days, everyone was a little excited and sat on the dock in groups of three or five, bragging.

Agen saw Li Changle and Chen Yongwei moving the tricycle and bicycle under the boat, and hurried forward to help.

"Hey! Where did you buy this bicycle? Why does it look a bit old?"

"The scrap Zhang family bought the second-hand bicycle and tricycle as well."

The ship owner at the dock laughed and said, "Boss Ale, why are you so frugal when you earn so much money?"

"No wonder they say the more money you have, the more calculating you become. Look at Boss Ah Lok, he makes so much money, but he doesn't even want to buy a new bicycle. We should learn from him in the future!"

"I haven't paid off all the money I owe to others yet, so I have to be frugal, right?"

Li Changle thinks that people are like this. When you have money in your pocket and buy a second-hand car, people will say you are thrifty. But when you are penniless and buy a second-hand car, people will only say that you are a poor guy who cannot afford it and buys second-hand goods to save face!
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei put their bicycles in the bed of the tricycle and pedaled downhill to the foot of the mountain. They thought about going out to sea tomorrow morning, and they had to go to the cave tonight when the tide went out to collect dozens of kilograms of Buddha's hand snails and send them to Uncle Kun.

"Brother, it's windy now, there must be some good stuff when the tide goes out tonight. How about we go fishing first and then collect Buddha's hand snails?"

"That's fine! Go home and pull the bamboo baskets to the dock and load them first."

"okay!"

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the tide began to recede. Li Changle's three brothers and Chen Yongwei carried buckets and walked towards the beach. When they arrived at the beach, they saw flashlights and headlamps everywhere, and people carrying lanterns to fish in the sea.

The Nanshan Beach, which was deserted in the past, was even more lively than that day when people were fishing.

Chen Yongwei was dumbfounded. "What the hell! I suspect that everyone in the village has come here to fish in the sea!"

Li Changle smiled and said, "They are all here, so we won't go join in the fun. We can go directly from behind the old master's palace to the saline-alkali land, and then go to the karst cave from the muddy flats."

"Okay, let's go over there!" Brother Li turned around and walked west first. The four of them went along the path next to the master's palace, walked over the slope and reached the saline-alkali land.

When I reached the gate, I saw a few scattered lights over in the woods. It seemed that they were the families setting up traps here.

After passing the gate and turning right, we walked towards the mudflats. The beach here was very quiet, without even a single person in sight.

When we were almost at the big reef, we suddenly saw something moving on the rocky beach ahead, and heard the splashing sound of fish splashing water in the puddle.

Li Changle and Brother Li, who were walking in front, turned their heads to the left at the same time and saw a shallow puddle on the rocky beach with many conger eels tangled together like snakes.

There were conger eels wriggling in the cracks of the rocks on the beach, which made the two men's hair stand on end.

"Fuck! So many conger eels!" Li Changle exclaimed.

"Where is the conger eel?" Chen Yongwei and Li Erge stood next to the two men, looked in the direction of the headlights, and were immediately stunned.

"Oh my goodness!" Brother Li rubbed his arms, "Damn it! It makes my hair stand on end."

"I have goosebumps all over my body." Brother Li had never seen anything like this before. "This is the first time I've seen a group of moray eels stranded together! Is there something weird going on?"

"What's so strange?" Brother Li laughed, "We've even seen fish fall from the sky, so why are we afraid of the conger eel getting stranded?"

Li Changle had seen such a situation in the future, but it was caused by environmental pollution. Thinking of the storm in the past two days, he said:

"Brother, there's nothing strange. It may have lost its way during the migration and spawning, and got stranded."

"Brother, stop just standing there and start working with the scoop net and pliers!" Chen Yongwei always reacted the fastest when catching fish. He would take out the scoop net from the backpack carried by Brother Li and walk towards the puddle.

"Look, this guy is actually the smartest one!" Li Changle quickly took out a pair of pliers and followed.

"Yeah, I found that Awei sometimes reacts faster than anyone else!"

"Brother, one piece is only one or two yuan. How can you not react quickly?" Chen Yongwei laughed happily. "I found that every time my brother changes direction, he can find good stuff!"

Brother Li smiled and asked, "How many times?"

"This is the third time. Once it was because of fish turning over ponds, once it was because of crabs moving, and this time it was because of conger eels."

"A Le!" Brother Li patted Li Changle, "Tomorrow when you go out to sea, you should also change direction. If you do this, you will kill the armored carp!" Li Changle said with a smile: "I will have a good dream tonight and see if I can dream of a good school of fish."

With nothing to do these days, he wrote down everything he could remember about the sea areas where he encountered fish schools in his previous life, as well as the sea areas where the fish bite was particularly good, and planned to give it a try.

If it is correct, it would be the best. But if not, given the current fishery resources, it should not be exhausted.

"Pray to Lord Hailong before going to bed!"

The brothers started working separately with a laugh. When the light shone into the puddle, the conger eels inside twisted more and more violently. The scene was almost the same as the snake pit in "Investiture of the Gods".

Li Changle got goose bumps all over his body. He picked up a net and poured it into the backpack with the net bag. There were more than ten conger eels in the net. The big ones were thicker than an adult's wrist, and the small ones were as thick as a child's wrist.

The two men cast two nets in succession, and the puddle looked less scary. They fished out a dozen more eels, moved the rocks away, and used pliers to pick up the eels hiding underneath.

Chen Yongwei also used pliers to grab it. After more than ten or twenty minutes, he finally found the conger eel hiding under the rock.

These guys are so ferocious that when two people are working, they have to tie up the opening of the net bag to prevent them from escaping.

When putting the last two conger eels in, Li Changle found that he had caught most of the conger eels in the basket. "It's so satisfying!"

"I feel satisfied too!" Chen Yongwei lifted the backpack and grinned, "Brother, at least one hundred and fifty or sixty!"

Li Changle lifted it up and nodded, "Pour some into the sack, I'll help carry it."

"No need. It's just over a hundred pounds, a piece of cake!" Chen Yongwei picked up the backpack with one hand and put it on his back easily.

Li Changle gave him a thumbs up and said, "Let's go and see how many the eldest and second brothers have caught."

"Okay, let's look for it when we get over there. There may be more under the rocks." Chen Yongwei began to search with great interest.

The two searched along the way and found two conger eels, several blue crabs, snails, several large conches, and some clams.

When I walked to a shallow puddle, I saw a fat tiger crab lying motionless in the puddle. I poked it with my pincers, and it immediately raised its claws and ran away quickly.

The tiger crab is brightly colored, with two large dark purple round spots on its shell, which are somewhat similar to tiger eyes.

It is said that tiger crabs grow very slowly. It takes at least three or four years for a tiger crab weighing half a pound to grow into a mature one.

Other crabs are most plump in autumn, but tiger crabs are most delicious in spring. After the Qingming Festival every year, the temperature rises and it is the perfect time to catch them.

At this time, the tiger crabs only need to be steamed. The crab meat is firm and chewy, the crab roe is full, and the taste is very delicious and sweet.

In later generations, as the environmental pollution of ocean beaches became increasingly serious, and tiger crabs grew on shallow sea beaches, it became difficult to catch wild tiger crabs.

"Fuck! Still pretending to be dead!" Li Changle pressed his pliers on the crab shell, reached out and grabbed it, tied it up with a hemp rope and weighed it, "Not bad, more than a pound, but it's a pity there's only one."

"Tiger crabs are not easy to find at this time of year. There will be more of them after Qingming Festival."

"Next year, we'll go catch them in the grove!" Li Changle put the tiger crabs into the bucket. "Let's go, call my brother and the others to go to the beach and see if there are any good ones."

"Brother and the others are coming."

Brother Li came towards them with a bucket in his hand, pointed at the bucket and said happily, "Ah Le, I caught a dozen conger eels!"

Brother Li pointed at the net bag in the bucket and said, "I caught seven, one of them was as big as a wrist!"

"Hello everyone, let my sister-in-law deliver it to the restaurant tomorrow." Li Changle picked up the pliers, "Let's go over there and take a look. By the time we get to the cave, it will be almost time."

"Row!"

When the four of them walked to the mudflat, they saw several broom heads scattered like flowers, lying limply on the mudflat.

"My goodness, a few sand dunes are having a meeting there!"

"One for each of you, be careful not to bump heads."

"rest assured!"

After a few people agreed, they quickly stepped forward and stuck their foot into the mud and sand to block the sand turtle's escape route. They reached their hands into the mud and sand and dug, and a fat sand turtle fell into the tiger's claws.

When we walked to the edge of the big reef, we saw another golden-eye snapper that was probably swept up by the waves and hit the reef and died.

"It's a useless thing!" Chen Yongwei kicked it away in disdain.

The upper body and fins of the golden-eye snapper are bright red, and the lower body is silver. The colors are gorgeous, and it has a pair of big eyes unique to nocturnal fish. This kind of fish has no edible value and is only suitable for raising and viewing.

Li Changle thought of the time when he sold the cat shark, "When sister's seafood store opens, we will catch some good-looking sea fish and put them in glass tanks to attract customers."

"The clownfish in the coral reef are pretty!" Brother Li said, "We'll get some corals this time. They'll definitely look good in the fish tank."

"There were quite a few there when we caught sea urchins last time." Li Changle remembered that red coral had long been listed as a first-class protected species, but that thing grew in the deep sea hundreds of meters deep and they couldn't get it.

Putting some ordinary corals in the fish tank is quite pleasing to the eye.
