Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 182

The speed of the boat was fast, but after driving for half an hour, the island in the distance had already occupied all of the sight.

This is also impossible, after all, Hailing Island is only more than 20 kilometers away from the coast of Yangjiang.

In the absence of stormy sea conditions, it only takes less than an hour to arrive safely.

At this time, several hidden reefs appeared in the live broadcast room in the distance, and there was also an exclamation

"Wait, did someone die over there? How did I see how many people were there on the reef?"

"Where is it? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

"It's not the anchor's first-person perspective, but a bird's-eye view shot by a drone on the other side."

At this moment, many people reacted and quickly clicked on the second shot.

After all, most people prefer to see the anchor's first-person perspective, which is clearer and more immersive after all.

After more people turned to the drone's bird's-eye view, the barrage exploded instantly.
"Yes, yes, someone was killed over there."

"Let the anchor come over and save him."

"I also saw the one in red clothes, and now he is being beaten by the waves, I feel that he is about to die!!"

"Is there a big brother to say something?!"

Suddenly, as soon as the live broadcast room entered the live broadcast, it was instantly occupied by special effects of gifts. In order to arouse Li Xiao's reaction, a local tyrant directly rewarded a rocket worth 1 yuan.

The rocket will not only have live broadcast special effects, but will also be accompanied by sound and vibration. This is to remind the anchors who are live broadcasting that a big guy has opened an umbrella for you, so hurry up and thank you.

Li Xiao also immediately heard a reminder from the live broadcast room that there was a big guy offering a reward to the rocket in the live broadcast room, and he quickly lowered his head to glance at the live broadcast room.

At first, he thought it was some big guy who saw the magnificent scenery of the sea and gave him a reward in a relaxed and happy mood, but when he saw the message behind Rocket, his brows frowned.

killed?In calm weather, in such an offshore area?
Shipwrecked?how can that be?

However, the possibility is very small, and the possibility is not, are completely two different things.

This is equivalent to the very small chance of winning a lottery ticket, but very small does not mean that there is no hope. As long as you buy it, there is always a hope. lottery.

Without thinking too much, Li Xiao immediately followed the audience's guidance and looked in the direction of 9:00. Sure enough, there was really a person in red on a rock.

At this time, he was holding on to the rock wall with both hands so as not to be knocked down by the waves.

His eyesight was very good, and he could clearly see the ropes on the man's body and the huge pockets behind his waist.

He immediately understood what was going on, and his nervous mood relaxed.

The audience in the live broadcast room quickly switched between the first-person perspective and the top-down perspective, and soon saw that the victim in red finally appeared in the first-person perspective. The audience in the live broadcast room immediately shouted
"Anchor, quickly let our third uncle's boat sail over to save people."

"The anchor's physique is really amazing, and he often encounters various things happening."

"However, there is one thing to say, the anchor is still very positive, and basically can help when encountering problems."

"That's true, at least I don't dare to jump into the river to save people in winter."

"The anchor ship is going to pass, I feel that person will not be able to hold on."

"Yeah, why is this storm so big, isn't it too exaggerated?!"

"Hey, hey, why is the boat still not stopping? The anchor, hurry up and save people?"

Li Xiao looked at the audience screaming nervously in the barrage, and quickly explained

"Everyone, don't panic. This is not a shipwreck, but work."

Although it was not a shipwreck, such a thing is indeed worth broadcasting live. He quickly shouted at the third uncle at the bow,

"Third Uncle, stop the boat for a while, and I'll broadcast live the eldest brother picking bergamot."

As soon as the voice fell, the engine of the fishing boat stopped beeping.

Uncle San threw in the bow and stern anchors to fix the boat on the sea.

Although Sanjiu's boat is an offshore fishing boat only 20 meters long, for safety reasons, a lifeboat that can carry 3 to 4 people is equipped on the side of the fishing boat.

Li Xiao still has some common sense about the sea, and he knows very well that there must be other hidden reefs near this kind of reef group.

He didn't dare to let the third uncle sail over rashly, it would be troublesome if he hit the rocks, so he hurriedly unloaded the lifeboat with the third uncle onto the sea and approached the rocks slowly.

Of course, the reason why it approached was not to carry out the so-called rescue, but to live broadcast at close range.

While rowing the oars, Li Xiao explained to the live broadcast room
"Now everyone should be able to clearly see the ropes on the man in red and the pockets behind his waist."

As the distance began to approach, the portable camera above Li Xiao's head also began to automatically focus on the captured portrait.

So the situation of the man in red standing on the rock was finally seen clearly by the audience in the live broadcast room.

I saw that the uncle was indeed wearing a very thick hemp rope, and it seemed that his hands were constantly stuffing things into the backpack behind his waist.

The audience in the live broadcast room immediately breathed a sigh of relief

"I was scared to death. I really thought that someone was actually killed in broad daylight."

"The term upstairs is really too ingenious, what is broad daylight?"

"Anchor, what is this uncle doing? This place looks so dangerous?"

"That's right, the waves are constantly washing over the rocks, and sometimes even hit him. Why does he still stay here?"

"I know this. This should be the legendary rock climbing, right?"

"The one upstairs is poisonous, god damn rock climbing, is rock climbing done at sea?"

"My titanium alloy dog ​​eyes were blinded by poison!"

"This cultural education has yet to be promoted!!"

Li Xiao held back the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and sighed helplessly. People nowadays are indeed a little alienated from the work and life of the people at the bottom.

But we can't blame everyone for this. This job seems to be a bit out of the way, and there must be few people who know it. After all, there are few people in this line of work.

The main reason is that this job is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may die on the job.

Li Xiao introduced,

"This big brother is not doing some rock climbing, but is looking for the sea. They are collecting a rare seafood, barnacles. To be precise, gooseneck barnacles are also called bergamot, pen holder, and turtle feet."

"Cymbapella, this kind of seafood is actually very widely distributed. It can be found in most coastal areas, but the output is extremely low, and it is very difficult to pick."

"Because there is no way to artificially cultivate bergamot at present, so it can only be collected manually in the wild."

"Distributed in the coastal reef areas where the waves are very strong, the surrounding sea water is required and the conditions are very good, so this kind of chayote will appear."

"The body is divided into a head and a stalk, generally 2-3 cm wide and 3-5 cm high."

"The head is light yellow and green, the stalk is soft and brown or yellowish brown, and the exterior is covered with fine calcareous scales, which are tightly arranged."

"The appearance of the back of my hand is like a turtle's hand, the head is reversed, and the top is like a turtle's hand covered with fine scales"

"Because they only grow in areas with extreme wind and waves, those who pick them have to take the risk of being swept into the sea by the waves at any time."

"The bergamot usually grows in the crevices of the rocks, and the handle is flexible. Once touched, it will shrink into the crevices of the rocks. It is not easy to dig, which greatly increases the difficulty of picking."

"It is very difficult to collect this kind of bergamot, and the quantity is not large, so the price is very high, so many fishermen will risk their lives to pick this kind of bergamot on the reefs with high winds and rough waves along the coast."

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiao's wooden lifeboat was already leaning on a reef exposed to the sea. He looked around to make sure that he could pass this section of the reef and reach the uncle.

Only then took a rope of the lifeboat and jumped onto the reef, and fixed the lifeboat on the reef.

While tying the rope, he reminded the audience in the live broadcast room

"I don't recommend this method for the audience to learn, because it is very dangerous. Once the tide rises, it is likely to wash away your rope and boat, but now there are still hundreds of thousands of miles away from the high tide, so Don't worry about it for now."

Fortunately, Li Xiao had predicted that he would go into the water before coming, so he didn't wear the usual sneakers when he came out this morning.

It was the hole shoes he wore when he was driving to the sea, and in order to prevent the hole shoes from falling out, he also tied ropes to the holes of the hole shoes.

In fact, Li Xiao was very nervous. After all, he could swim, but he had almost never been on this kind of reef.

After all, this kind of reef is actually very dangerous. These coastal reefs are covered with slippery seaweed because they are soaked in water all year round.

And because of weathering and the impact of waves, some reefs look very solid, but when stepped on, they will break into pieces, and people will be washed directly into the sea.

Li Xiao walked very slowly, making sure that the reef he was stepping on was safe, and then he would take the other foot.

It is true that he has [Swimming Proficiency], even if he falls into the sea now and there is no other ship to rescue him, he is confident that with his own hands, he can swim back to Hailing Island or directly to Yangjiang, maybe even without panting.

However, this is under the premise that he fell off the reef without hitting his body or head, and at the same time he did not encounter predatory fish such as sharks.

If you are accidentally photographed by the coast, or fall into the water and hit a sharp rock, you may even lose your life directly, no matter how good your swimming skills are, it will be useless.

The audience in the live broadcast room also saw Li Xiao's cautiousness from the constantly shaking camera.

The sharp rocks in front of the camera and the silky reefs covered with seaweed and seaweed made them even more frightened.

The strong sense of substitution brought by the first-person perspective made them think that they were Li Xiao, walking on the reef that was constantly beaten by the waves.

"The anchor must be careful, don't be in a hurry, and play it safe."

"Why don't the anchors forget it, we also saw that the other party was not killed, so there is no need to go there."

"Yes, yes, safety is the most important thing, Xiao Xiaozi, hurry up and go back to the boat."

"Don't listen to them, hurry up and see what that red-clothed uncle is going to do."

"The red clothes are the most dangerous thing. If something happens in the sea, it will definitely become a red-clothed ghost."

"A ghost in red? Isn't that several levels higher than ordinary ghosts?"

It's a pity that Li Xiao couldn't see the content of the barrage, otherwise he must be very touched to see so many people concerned about his safety.

As for the audience who were fanning the flames, he didn't bother to pay attention, after all, such people were everywhere.

This kind of person is a keyboard man on the Internet, but in reality he is a coward.

When encountering something like jumping off a building or bridge, he will inevitably watch and ridicule him. Such a person will waste the country's food and the earth's precious air if he does not die.

It took Li Xiao more than ten minutes to walk to the side of the red-clothed uncle in a short section of the reef.

At this time, the uncle in red was in a different position from just now. His body was already attached to the water surface, and one foot was even stuck in the gap of the reef under the water to stabilize his figure.

The other foot is lifted at 45 degrees to the rock wall on the other side, and the hands are quickly digging chayote in the crevices of the rocks on the water.

At this time, Li Xiao also discovered that there was actually a bergamot shell exposed on the rock at his feet. He quickly squatted down and put the camera on his head in front of the bergamot shell. Everyone finally saw the so-called bergamot shell in Li Xiao's mouth. Bei's look.

"I'm going, isn't this look too ghostly??!"

"I was so scared that I smashed the screen with a punch, and the anchor would have to pay me a screen."

"The name of the Han Kingdom is cattle, and it dares to eat anything."

"Indeed, I don't even dare to eat this ghost thing, it's too scary"

"So what kind of bergamot shell is this? I have eaten it before. Although it looks a little scary, it is super delicious, but we call it Guanyin shell, also known as Guanyin hand."

"The psychological quality upstairs is too strong. This is a bit scary. Is this super scary? Who was the first to discover that this kind of thing is edible?"

While everyone was discussing, Li Xiao had already walked to the side of the uncle in red.

The uncle in red had already discovered Li Xiao, the unexpected visitor, but he didn't say anything.

After all, this reef was originally an ownerless thing, and Li Xiao didn't seem to be fighting for bergamot with him.

Li Xiao didn't speak hastily, after all, such a high-risk job as picking bergamot shellfish cannot be distracted for a while.

It only takes one carelessness, and there may be accidents due to stepping on the air or not noticing the attack of the waves.

After all, from time to time, Li Xiao could hear news from his second uncle and third uncle that fishermen who collected bergamot shellfish had died.

You need to know that ordinary fishermen can still buy accident insurance normally. However, if you make it clear that your occupation is picking bergamot when buying insurance, the insurance company will definitely refuse to sell it because the risk factor is too high.

As an insurance that only earns but does not pay, the company will 100% not accept such an insurance.

Li Xiao didn't speak until the uncle in red climbed up to the top of the reef from near the water surface to rest again.

"Uncle, are you picking bergamot?"

He asked knowingly. After all, his appearance was indeed a little presumptuous. This sentence was like what did you eat today, and it was only an opening statement for both parties.

The old man in red raised his head and glanced at him, and said angrily,

"Isn't that obvious? I'm not picking bergamot here, am I rock climbing?"

Fortunately, Li Xiao is already very proficient in controlling his expression, otherwise the corners of his mouth must be twitching like crazy.

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter
"I heard that no one has said that they are picking bergamot and not rock climbing."

"The host's approach to strike up a conversation is really too tough."

"Don't be shy, anchor."

"Although I can't see the anchor's cute little face, I guess it's already familiar."

"This opening statement is so blunt that I feel embarrassed even through the screen."

Li Xiao coughed lightly, spoke, and asked

"Uncle, today's harvest is not bad, right?"

The man in red turned away the bottle of water on his body, took a sip, then nodded, showing a rare smile on his face
"It's okay, the wind and waves are very small today, which is suitable for picking this bergamot."

As he said that, he showed Li Xiao the fanny pack at his waist. Li Xiao poked his head and took a look, and sure enough, the fanny pack was full of good-sized bergamot shells.

Seeing the ghostly-looking Bergamot, he was not afraid, on the contrary, he licked the drool that was about to flow out of the corner of his mouth.

This bergamot is a good thing. Although it looks horrible, it is very delicious, otherwise it would not be possible to sell it for such a high price.

He didn't hesitate to speak directly to the uncle in red

"Uncle, how do you sell this thing? I want it all?"

Hearing that Li Xiao was going to buy everything, the uncle in red raised his eyebrows, looked Li Xiao up and down, and hesitated to speak.

"Brother, this thing is not cheap, are you sure you want it?"

he nodded and said with a smile
"For bergamot, of course I know that the collection is so hard and the amount is small, it's normal to be more expensive, and there is no scale here, just tell me how much it is here, and I will give you the cash directly."

The uncle in red sized up the unexpected guest again, no, it was the gold master who fell from the sky.

Then weighed the weight of his waist bag, and then said

"It's about two catties here. If it gets wet, it's two catties. I usually sell it for more than 500 per catty. Let's count your 500. The total is 1000. Do you have so much cash? "

Li Xiao was not overly surprised, although it was a few years ago that he ate this thing.

But he is still clear about the price. A few years ago, this thing would cost more than 400, and after a few years, it has grown by 1/4, which is very normal.

The main reason is that this thing is too difficult to pick, and the quantity is too small, and the growth rate is slow. It takes seven or eight years for a chayote the size of a fingernail to grow to be edible.

So this kind of thing will only become more and more expensive, and it will become more and more difficult to collect, because the easy ones have already been collected. ,

Moreover, fewer and fewer people are willing to work in this high-risk industry, because the probability of accidents is too high, which is unbearable.

Once the older generation gets older, they can't continue to do it, because they don't have enough physical strength to resist the wind and waves, and their hands and feet are not flexible enough to be easily injured or even die.

The younger generation is even more reluctant to do this, which is bitter, tiring and dangerous.
