Starting to go to the sea: I really didn’t want to be a sea king

After making the complaint, Chu Yang led Chu Xi and Hai Dai to the tidal flat on the north bank.

Because of the low tide today, there were many people on the tidal flat. It is estimated that one-third of the villagers were picking up fish and shells on the beach.

Chu Yang took a look at the treasure chest refresh point and found that it was in the middle of the tidal flat. He decided to open it later to avoid giving it to others.

"Brother, Uncle Jun is over there."

Chu Xi saw Sun Qingjun and pointed in the direction to Chu Yang.

"Let's go over and see what we have picked up."

When the three of them approached, Sun Qingjun also found them, straightened up, and greeted Chu Yang with a smile.

"Did you come back this morning?"

"Yeah, I went to your house to pick up Xiao Xi. I heard from my aunt that you were fishing here, so I came to see if there was anything good."

Chu Yang smoked a cigarette, then looked into the plastic bucket brought by Sun Qingjun and found that it was already filled with half a bucket of mussels.

The so-called mussels are green mussels.

This kind of mussel has a wedge-shaped shell, a green-brown shell, and a smooth surface. It will open its mouth when heated slightly, making it very convenient to eat. Therefore, it is named Qingkou. Some places also call it Haihong or Mussels.

Although the name sounds rich, this kind of shell is widely distributed, and the meat is relatively hard and has a strong fishy smell. If it is not handled properly, it tastes like a tire, so the price is actually not high. Now the seafood vendors at the village dock only charge about 1.5 yuan.

The bucket that Sun Qingjun picked up in the morning is probably worth 40 yuan.

In the past, this income was barely acceptable.

But after going out to sea with Chu Yang, his appetite was also spoiled.

"What good goods can we have on this beach? A few mussels. Picking up this stuff is not worth going out to sea once a year."

Sun Qingjun sighed while smoking a cigarette.

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something, and nudged Chu Yang with his elbow, and asked in a low voice:

"Ayang, you said you just went to my house, your aunt didn't ask you how much money you gave me for this trip to the sea, right?"

Chu Yang gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, Uncle Jun, I can't betray you."

Sun Qingjun breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little embarrassed.

After all, hiding private money seems to be something that only those who are dominated by their wives would do.

"Ayang, don't get me wrong, your aunt is actually very nice, I can give her money if I need it, but... that's..."

"It's just that it's too troublesome to ask my aunt for some small money every time, right?" Chu Yang said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Ayang, you can understand me." Sun Qingjun patted his shoulder and said happily.

Chu Yang came, and Sun Qingjun didn't want to bother picking up these worthless mussels anymore. The two found a stone and sat down to chat and smoke.

Chu Xi and Hai Dai, on the other hand, were shoveling and rake-digging on the tidal flats. When they occasionally picked up a mussel or clam, they laughed happily.

After an hour, the tide slowly rose, and the fish on the beach were almost all collected. Seeing that there was nothing to pick up, the fishermen went ashore one after another.

There were also fishermen who were familiar with Sun Qingjun, and they greeted him when they passed by.

"Dajun, do you want to go to the dock to sell goods together? Boss Ge's boat is at the dock today."

"No, a few mussels, I don't want to squeeze, you go first, I'll sit for a while and then go over."

Sun Qingjun smiled and declined. Of course, he wanted to stay with Chu Yang.

"Okay then."

Several dark and thin fishermen each carried their own plastic buckets, net bags and sacks and walked towards the shore.

After walking a little further, a fisherman with a shaved head said, "Didn't Dajun say some time ago that he wanted to buy land and build a new house in the town but needed money, so he asked us to help keep an eye out for boat bosses recruiting people."

"Yeah, I also find it strange. He just picked some mussels today and rested there. He was the most active in the past." Another fisherman wearing a sun hat said.

"Didn't he go out to sea two days ago? Do you think he would..."

The flat-headed fisherman suddenly thought of this and asked.

The sun hat fisherman shook his head, "I don't know..."

After a pause, he continued, "How about I ask my husband to go to his wife to find out what she thinks?"

The flat-headed fisherman nodded, "Okay, Erhu, thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."

The sun hat fisherman waved his hand, "Hey, brother Dabiao, it's just a few words from the old women, what's the hard work."

...

On the other side, Chu Yang saw that most of the fishermen had left, so he got up slowly.

"Uncle Jun, I'll go call Xiaoxi home."

After saying that, he walked to the middle of the tidal flat.

"Accidentally" passed by the refresh point and opened the treasure chest.

[The black iron treasure chest has been opened, reward: randomly refreshed marine economic creatures, capture time limit: 45 minutes. ]

The next second, a 200-meter-long light belt, with Chu Yang as the center, extended to the left and right.Reflected on the tidal flat.

"The refresh area is not big, it should be easy to find." He thought.

As it turned out, Chu Yang's guess was not wrong at all.

Because he had just taken two steps, he found something hitting his foot.

Chu Yang bent down and scooped it up, and the next second he had a shell about seven or eight centimeters long and three or four centimeters wide in his hand.

The surface of this large shell is yellow-brown, and the shape is approximately triangular. It feels very smooth, and it is covered with radial growth lines. If you look closely, its tail is also light purple, and its appearance is quite high.

Generally speaking, things with high appearance are not much different in value.

Chu Yang waved to Sun Qingjun.

"Uncle Jun, look what I picked up."

Sun Qingjun came over after hearing the voice.

After seeing the shell in his hand clearly, he exclaimed: "Oh my god, Xishi tongue!"

Sea clam, Xishi tongue, imperial concubine tongue

"What is Xishi tongue? Why haven't I heard of it?" Chu Yang asked like a curious baby.

Sun Qingjun explained: "Xishi tongue is a sea clam. You know Zhanggang sea clam, right? That's what I'm talking about."

When he said that, Chu Yang understood. He had heard of Zhanggang sea clam in his previous life. It was a specialty of Fuzhou next door. It was very famous. Later, it applied for a national geographical indication protection product and was also a state banquet food in the Great Hall.

"Then this thing is very expensive, right?"

"Of course, the imperial concubine tongue produced in Zhanggang costs dozens of dollars for a small one and one or two hundred for a big one. Don't waste time, find out if there are any more. This thing usually comes in groups."

After saying that, Sun Qingjun had already buried his head in the search.

Soon, one imperial concubine tongue after another was dug out. In just 5 minutes, his bucket was filled.

He simply emptied the mussels in the bucket and used them all to pack the imperial concubine tongue.

The small ones are as big as the bottom of a beer bottle, and the big ones can be as big as a palm. Two or three of them make a pound, and one is worth dozens of yuan, which is just like picking up money.

"Oh my god, this density, why do I feel like I'm dreaming."

Sun Qingjun sighed as he searched, "Ayang, you are so lucky. So many people walked around and didn't find the imperial concubine tongue in this piece, but you found it as soon as you came."

Chu Yang smiled and attributed the credit to Mazu.

"It must be the good luck brought to me by worshiping Mazu at the dock last time."

"I also worshipped, why don't I have this good luck?" Sun Qingjun muttered.

"Maybe Mazu likes handsome people." Chu Yang teased.

"Ayang, don't joke with Mazu."

Sun Qingjun reminded in a serious tone, but he was thinking in his heart:

"Am I really ugly?"
