Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

"Have something for lunch. Your sister said that you are not an outsider, so she didn't prepare any preparations." When Xia Yingwu saw Zhao Qin finished washing, he pulled him to the table and said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you're welcome, but the food on this table is a bit exaggerated."

There were no outsiders, it was just a family. The person sitting in the first place was Xia Yingwu's father. Zhao Qin said hello to him when he came in.

Xia Yingwu is the third eldest child in the family. He has four sisters and brothers. The eldest is a woman and is married. The second and fourth eldest children are both from rural areas. The fourth eldest child is only one year older than Zhao Qin.

Zhao Qin remembered that they got married last year, and his eldest brother came over to attend the wedding ceremony.

"Aqin, I heard about your brother-in-law's purchase of a house this time. You have made great efforts, and we are grateful."

"Uncle, we are not outsiders, there is no need to be polite. My brother-in-law also helped me a lot in the past."

With that said, he stood up and gave Father Xia a toast.

"You're welcome. Just sit down. You must be hungry. Don't drink too fast and eat more food."

Zhao Mei was the happiest person when someone came to her parents' house. The smile on her face never disappeared since Zhao Qin walked in.

Halfway through the drink, Xia Yingwu's eldest brother Xia Yingying came back. The three brothers' old houses were all picked up together, so they knew about his return.

Xia Yingwu stood up and pulled his eldest brother over after a while. It could be seen that the two brothers got along well.

When Zhao Qin saw someone coming in, he stood up to greet him. Seeing him like this, Xia Yingying couldn't help but sit opposite Zhao Qin. Zhao Mei hurriedly brought over a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Brother, how was the harvest?"

Xia Yingwen was introverted. He smiled shyly and said, "It's not bad. I dug more than ten kilograms this morning."

"What are you digging for?" Zhao Qin asked curiously.

"Dandelions happen to be in season, and the market is pretty good this year. The town collects fresh products for 6 yuan and 5 yuan per catty."

After chatting for a while, Xia Yingjie also came back. He was not invited by others, but came to the door himself. "Second brother, you didn't even call me when the banquet started."

"You've gone up a mountain, and there's no signal on your mobile phone. I know which mountain you are in."

Xia Yingjie unceremoniously sat down next to Zhao Qin. Zhao Qin stood up and gave way, but the other party held his shoulder, "Aqin, you're welcome, it's annoying to give way. We are brothers, so there's no need." "

In one sentence, Zhao Qin had a good impression of him.

Xia Yingjie had a drink with him and asked him when he arrived and if the road was easy. He was also talkative. He also asked about his elder brother's harvest in the morning.

"Brother, why did you dig so much? I only dug eight or nine kilograms."

"Huh, I'm just like you. I can't do any work properly. I'm either going to have pain in my back or my butt within half an hour of digging. I'm so old."

Brother Xia was not polite and would get angry when he was caught. He really looked like an eldest brother and a father.

Xia Yingjie scratched his ears, sneered, and then toasted to me who was sitting at the top.

Zhao Qin secretly praised that this family is well-educated. The elders scold the younger ones, but the younger ones don't even retaliate. It is not easy to do this.

"Brother, Ajie has matured a lot after getting married. You should stop saying a few words to him."

Zhao Mei opened her mouth to smooth things over, and the boss immediately had a smile on his face, nodded and said no more.

He didn't persuade Zhao Qin to drink too much. It was outrageous to get him drunk just after arriving today, so Zhao Qin was quite comfortable eating and drinking.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of meat is this? I haven't eaten it for a long time." Zhao Qin had a plate of meat in front of him. It tasted good, a bit like rabbit meat, but he had eaten rabbit meat before, so this was obviously not the case.

"Badger meat, big brother caught it two days ago."

"This thing is very alert. It's rare to catch it once or twice a year. It's just a coincidence this time." Xia Yingwen answered with a smile.

After dinner, Zhao Mei asked him if he wanted to take a nap, and he asked Xia Yingjie what else he would be busy with in the afternoon.

"Close the cage, it's a miserable life."

"Why don't you go out and explore?" The other party is only 23 years old. Normally, not everyone at this age likes to go outside and look around.

"I went out when I was 19 and was managed by outsiders for two years. I didn't make much money. I figured it out. It's better to come back and be managed by my parents."

Zhao Qin laughed loudly, this boy's words were too to his liking.

"In the afternoon, can I pack up the cage with you?"

"Why not? You sit down for a while. I'll call you when I leave."

Zhao Qin's mind moved, he glanced at the motorcycle parked nearby, and said to Xia Yingwu: "Brother-in-law, lend me the motorcycle to ride on. I'll go to town and buy two floor cages and put them back."

"Why bother? I have a lot of space in my house. Just take it and use it." The boss waved his hand and told him not to bother.

"No, you just drank. You are not allowed to ride a bicycle." Zhao Mei was washing dishes and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen to stop her.

Zhao Qin thought for a while, if it was not easy to take the floor cage back home from the system, it would be a waste. He didn't come here with the intention of making money, it was purely to satisfy his addiction.

After thinking about it, he took four ground cages from Xia Yingwen. He just played with them, so naturally he wouldn't take more.

After resting for a while, Xia Yingjie rode over. He put the ground cage he planned to bring with him into a bucket and tied it to the back of the car. Zhao Mei found another hat for him and complained: "It's such a hot day. , I don’t know how to take a good rest at home.”

"If I'm bored, I'll go take a look."

Xia Yingjie took him on a motorcycle. Both of them had cigarettes in their mouths, and the car became less hot while riding.

"Aqin, let's go to your house to play some other time. I also want to catch the sea."

"Okay, if you have time, I'll sail the boat and take you for a walk on the sea. By the way, where is my ground cage? Have you brought the bait?"

"In the bucket, we'll talk about it later when we get there."

After riding for about twenty minutes, we reached the first point where we got off the cage.

"Why is it so far away?"

"Everyone near the village has been wiped out by others, so we can only run away."

Because it was lowered into the ditch, the ground cages here were very short, only about [-] meters tall. After putting away the first one, Zhao Qin found that there were two eels and two or three loaches inside.

"Mainly catching eels?"

Xia Yingjie nodded and said: "Yes, I would like to catch turtles, but you have to try your luck. If you occasionally catch one or two, it will be a good harvest that day."

"How much does a pound of eel cost now?"

"22 yuan, the loach only has 8 yuan."

Zhao Qin calculated the harvest from this net. The two eels together were at most half a catty, and the three loaches were probably only one tael. Hey, the Haitian cages were better. Any crab was worth more than these.

Then the second cage was collected. This cage exploded a little, and there were four or five eels. The largest one was about four taels, which together weighed a little more than a pound.

Such a harvest already made Xia Yingjie sigh that he was lucky today.

In a ditch here, Xia Yingjie placed seven ground cages and harvested about one kilogram of loach and three kilograms of eel.

The collected ground cage was tied to the back of the car with a rope. After getting on the car and riding for two kilometers, I found a ditch and lowered the net again.

"Let's go, there is a river here, and your ground cage can be placed in it."

They got on the car again and rode for a while, until even the motorcycle could not pass. The two got off the car and walked down a large slope. After about ten minutes, Zhao Qin saw a pool of water.

The water is very clear. I tested the water temperature and it was also very cold.

"There are snakes in the cracks in the rocks nearby, otherwise you can go down and take a bath."
