Chapter 439: Picking up seafood on the reef island 1
Take a look at the beautiful scenery and relax! After about 50 minutes of sailing, the Chen family's Ping An finally slowly approached the waters where the reef island was located.
The sea water seems to have receded exceptionally early today.
Looking from afar, the small island in front, which should have been covered by the azure blue sea, has now revealed nearly half of its silhouette.
The four people on the fishing boat were anxious to go fishing, and they deftly moved the prepared fishing nets and various cages out of the hold.
The various sea fish that had been picked up yesterday and had already received lunch boxes had already been cut into small pieces by Chen Zhiyao and mixed with bait companion.
Using these stale sea fish as bait is a good way to make the best use of them.
With these delicious baits, she believed that today would be another bumper harvest.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao and others quickly placed the different tools in appropriate positions according to their characteristics.
There are large and small reefs near the reef island, making it difficult for fishing boats to dock on the shore.
Chen Zhiyao and her family of four had no choice but to paddle a small kayak towards the mysterious island that was gradually emerging from the water.
When several people successfully landed on the island, the sea water had receded by about two-thirds.
Looking around, the entire island is covered with reefs of various sizes and shapes.
In those puddles surrounded by reefs, you can clearly see many delicious seafood trapped inside.
They either swim around in panic, trying to find a way to escape, or curl up helplessly, quietly waiting for their fate.
The reefs that have emerged from the water are covered with small wild oysters.
It was so crowded that there was almost no place to step.
If Tang Youyou and Yang Yi saw this, their scalps would probably go numb and they wouldn't dare to get off the boat. A corner of the reef island This reef island is usually hidden under the sea, and only at low tide will it shyly reveal its true face.
Because of this, the seafood hidden here is of more variety and larger quantity than that of ordinary rocky beaches.
For Chen Zhiyao, today is undoubtedly another day favored by the goddess of luck.
As soon as she got off the kayak, she was surprised to find a huge abalone on a reef next to her.
This guy is covered with a layer of grayish-white moss, and at first glance, it looks exactly like the surrounding reefs.
However, he was still a little naive to deceive the experienced Chen Zhiyao.
She walked over quickly and happily pried the big abalone off the stone wall.
"Not bad, not bad. This abalone weighs at least three taels!"
At this time, Chen Weiqiang passed by her carrying a water pump and boasted proudly:
"Tangtang, you are so lucky. You found a big abalone right after you got here. It's quite like your dad and I back then."
Grandpa Chen, who was also carrying a water pump behind him, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then glanced at him with contempt:
"How dare you say that? Your level of sea-hunting is far inferior to Tangtang's."
"Hey, hey, hey, as the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked. If I'm not good at fishing, it's because you didn't teach me well, Dad."
"I think you're itching for trouble." The old man kicked him.
"Hey, I can't hit you!"
Chen Weiqiang was dismantling the stage in a mean manner, but his feet were running quickly towards the puddle in front.
The old man couldn't catch up, so he had to save his dignity by saying, "Humph, if you run a step late, your legs will be broken."
Seeing that Chen Weiqiang was already old but still acted like a child, Yan Shuting reminded him unhappily:
"Slow down, slow down. Watch your feet or you might fall."
"It's okay, don't worry."
Although Chen Weiqiang ran fast, his feet were steady. After a while, he arrived at the largest puddle on the island.
"This puddle is quite large, and the rocks inside are winding and twisting. There must be a lot of fish."
As he said this, he put down the pump on his shoulder and placed the rolled up water pipe into the water.
Then, a loud noise was heard on the island.
Grandpa Chen behind him also picked a puddle of about four or five square meters not far away and started pumping water.
When they first started pumping water, there was no need for anyone to watch over it. Chen Weiqiang and his son just happily started turning over stones around with buckets of water.
When the rumbling sound of the pump was heard, Chen Zhiyao came to a puddle composed of several reefs.
She was seen bending over, looking towards a cave nearby with excitement on her face.
And this stone cave is the nest of the coconut snail discovered earlier.
Chen Zhiyao had already collected all the large coconut snails half a year ago, but she still kept a few smaller ones.
Half a year has passed, and these little guys have obviously grown a lot. The two big ones look to weigh more than a kilogram, and even the two small ones weigh about half a kilogram.
But what surprised her most was that there were now four more chess-sized coconut snail seedlings.
Chen Zhiyao took the two largest coconuts in her hands and weighed them, one in each hand, with a smile on her face.
"This coconut snail grows very fast. The two of them together weigh almost three kilograms."
Although the two half-pound ones were edible, they were still a bit small. In the end, Chen Zhiyao didn't want them and only took the two largest ones.
After putting away the two coconut snails, she turned her gaze back to the puddle at her feet.
There were two pink little fish at the bottom of the pit, wagging their tails anxiously, looking for a place to hide.
Chen Zhiyao recognized them as two longevity fish at a glance by the lightning rods on their heads and their long pouting mouths.
She immediately took out the scoop net and caught them all in no time.
After catching the fish, she also took out several conches of different sizes from the crevices of the rocks nearby.

Oyster Snail +3
When she reached the other side of the puddle, Chen Zhiyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly bent down.
Then, I saw her scooping up a handful of large, yellow-mouthed snails from the crevice in front of her.
In the cracks in the rocks in front of her, there were huge yellow-mouthed snails crawling densely on both sides.
No one knows how old these snails are. Each one is as big as a toe, and many of them even have small barnacles on their bodies.
There were no small ones among these large yellow-mouthed snails, so Chen Zhiyao didn't have to pick them out. She put them all into the net bag she carried with her.
This kind of snail has a particularly strong reproductive ability. In another month or two, those yellow eggs on the stone wall will grow into small snails again.
After walking a few steps forward, Chen Zhiyao came to a small puddle covered with seaweed.
This piece of seaweed looked ordinary, but when she pushed aside a particularly lush patch of seaweed in front of her:
There was actually a large blue crab weighing 60-70 grams hidden underneath. As soon as the seaweed was pushed aside, the blue crab realized something was wrong and immediately ran sideways to the right.
Before he could run far, he was firmly clamped by a universal clamp that fell from the sky.
Big Crab +1
