Chapter 291: A Full Harvest

Originally, he wanted to look around to see if he could pick up a few more snails. There were only two, so it was not good to cook in a pot, wasting firewood. But he heard his son's call, so he had to run over.

"Here, here, Dad~ it ran sideways~"

Ye Yaodong was tall and long-legged, and he caught up after taking two steps. He used fire tongs to clamp the ghost-head crab that still wanted to escape.

This ghost-head crab should be the ugliest among crabs, with big eyes growing on its butt, disgusting!

"Ah, caught it..."

"Dad, this crab is so ugly!"

"Mm, this is a ghost-head crab. It's ugly, but it's good to eat."

"I don't want it, it's too ugly, I want to eat blue crab!"

Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "You know the goods, you even know how to eat blue crab. Farts for you to eat, do you want to eat?"

"No, no, no, farts are for you to eat yourself!"

Ye Chengyang also followed suit and pouted his butt. "No, no, no~ give it to you~"

After letting it go, he immediately followed and ran.

Ye Yaodong scolded behind him with a smile, "Run slower, don't run into the water, the tide is still receding in front, don't get too close."

"I know~"

The two ran and stopped until both hands were full before calling their dad again.

Their hands were only that big in total, and each could only pick up two or three snails and clams.

"There are two more fish there, our hands can't hold them."

"Mm."

He walked over in the direction the two children pointed, picked up the two dead mudskippers and threw them into the bucket. Next to it was a hairy clam the size of a pigeon egg, which was also collected by him.

Beachcombing? It's just that this point is not good, things are too scattered, there are too many varieties, all are picked up one or two, not a nest for you to pick up.

Even if they should all be in groups, they will be scattered when washed ashore, and the waves don't care if you are a family.

Without taking two steps, he saw a black round ball in front. He walked a few steps quickly, and it was another sea urchin. The two children could have a bowl of steamed sea urchin eggs each.

As for why not stew a big bowl directly?

That is of course because uneven distribution will cause a fight!

For the sake of family harmony, and also to be able to eat a meal quietly, it must be steamed separately in one bowl each, otherwise after a meal, you will have endless "cases" to break.

"Dad, there is another ugly crab here, it has eyes, it is stealing sand clams!"

"It's a ghost-head crab!" Ye Chengyang said in a milky voice.

Ye Yaodong was called and arrived.

The two children were squatting there, watching with relish a ghost-head crab pecking at the meat in the body of a sand clam the same size as it.

"Wow, Dad, its two big feet are so powerful, they can open the mouth of the sand clam~"

I saw that this ghost-head crab was really "ghostly": using its two pincers to force open the two shells of the clam, one pincer supported, and one pincer went to clamp the clam meat.

"So I have always told you not to catch crabs. If you get clamped by its big feet, your fingers will break!"

Ye Chenghu's index finger, which was just stretched out, immediately shrank back in fear. "I didn't catch it!"

"Ah... ate it, ate it..."

Ye Chengyang saw the sand clam meat being dug out and instantly shouted excitedly.

"Mm, let it be a full ghost!" Ye Yaodong waited for it to have a full meal before catching it into the bucket.

This one might be more gluttonous, the size is a whole circle larger than the one caught in the bucket before, it looks like four or five taels, very hard.

"Let me see, how much have you picked up? Ah... there are two sea urchins, one for each..."

"You find more, the evening one is not yet settled!"

"Okay, Dad!"

The two children ran happily on the beach again.

Ye Yaodong felt that he might be able to ask his dad to weave two small baskets for them to carry when he was free later, which would be convenient for them to go out to wash the sea next time.

One big and two small walked and picked, and they picked up a lot of cat-eye snails and clams, and several hairy clams were also picked up.

Ye Yaodong didn't just look at his feet, he looked up from time to time to see where the two children ran, and would look back at the shore.

Just at this time, Ye Chengyang suddenly cried out in shock and fear, "Dad~ Dad~"

Ye Chenghu also said anxiously, "Dad, an octopus is crawling on Yangyang's face..."

He thought something happened, and ran over anxiously.

I saw a small white octopus crawling on Ye Chengyang's face, the dancing tentacles spread out arrogantly, covering his whole face, scaring Ye Chengyang until his hands and feet were shaking there, tears and snot flowing.

He casually caught the small white octopus and pinched it in his hand. "Scared me! Thought something happened, just a small white octopus, just catch it down, what are you afraid of?"

Ye Chengyang hugged Ye Yaodong's thigh and was still crying there.

Ye Chenghu said innocently, "I caught it, but I couldn't catch it down, its feet were wrapped too tightly."

"Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of, such a small one, cook it for you to eat at noon, you eat it into your stomach and you won't be afraid."

Ye Chengyang stopped immediately, but was still sniffing his nose and loosening his shoulders from time to time.

Ye Yaodong changed the subject, "Eh~ there is a translucent sea anemone in the water beach."

The attention of the two was immediately transferred, Ye Chengyang didn't even sniff his nose, and ran over behind his dad.

"Ah, sea anemone, so beautiful..."

Children are like this, emotions come fast and go fast.

The transparent sea anemone buried at the bottom of the sand only has the mouth disk exposed on the beach, and dozens of tentacles sway and swing in the shallow seawater, looking like flowers.

Ye Chenghu curiously reached out to grab it, but was slapped away by Ye Yaodong. "It's poisonous, don't touch it, I'll dig it for you, this is not easy to dig."

"How to dig?"

"Look, teach you, dig from the side, in the sand next to it, cut in obliquely and start to wash the sand... it still grows underneath, very deep, don't dig it off, pull it out by the roots."

Ye Yaodong started to wash the sand while talking, but unexpectedly dug out a sand clam?

After throwing it into the bucket, he continued to dig without stopping, dug a big pit, and his hand really went to the bottom to wash.

The roots under the sea anemone still grow very long, cylindrical, all dug out, but the roots under the mouth are a round ball.

He pulled its roots, pulled it out by the roots, shook off the water stains, and handed it to the two to see. "Keep it to cook sour and spicy soup in the evening, there is no share for you!"

"Cut~ we want to eat steamed sea urchin eggs!"

"But there are only two in the bucket, not enough for you to eat for two meals, go find more."

"Lue lue lue~"

Ye Yaodong saw a few more in the distance, and all dug them out in the same way, one is not enough for a bowl~

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, the goods at the door can be picked up at will, and you don't have to worry about food and drink by the sea.

It's just that he has been washing the sea since he was a child, he has long been tired of it, and he doesn't like to come, otherwise he can pick up a small half bucket of miscellaneous seafood every day when the tide recedes.

They walked down along the tide until they were about to walk to the shallow water area, he didn't let the two children go forward, only let them turn around on the beach.

At this time, there were many children on the beach. Adults don't like to come to the beach to pick up these worthless, messy things. It wastes time, and the quantity is not much, it is not worth them running a trip, but children like it.

Sometimes adults in the family will also call children in the family to pick up things back when the tide recedes, so that the children don't run around wildly.

Ye Yaodong led them to the reef area on the side to see if there were any stranded fish to pick up. There were no fish picked up today, only two mudskippers.

"Dad, blue crab, blue crab~"

This is the crab Ye Chenghu likes to eat most, he naturally recognizes it, Ye Yaodong used fire tongs to clamp it out from under the stone.

"Let your mother stew it with Codonopsis in the evening, eat it to grow strength!"

"Okay, okay!"

Ye Yaodong led them to squat down on the beach next to it, tried to dig a few times, dug out two sand clams, and said satisfiedly: "You dig sand clams here, don't run around, your mother explained to dig more, I'll go around."

The reef area is all messy stones, so I won't take them, and he only plans to turn around.

There are no big shellfish on the stones, he doesn't like the small ones, so he basically doesn't look at the stone wall, just look to see if there is anything stranded.

Stone crabs, blue crabs, ghost-head crabs are really quite a lot, crevices, under stones, piles of broken stones... just after the tide recedes, you can see them everywhere.

He is too lazy to catch the small ones, all pick a larger size, visually two or three taels or more, and clamp them into the bucket. After a while, the upper layer of the bucket was covered with various crabs.

But today there really is no fish to see, only 3 stone rockfish were picked up.

The tide level did not recede very low today, and the distant ones could not be walked out. After Ye Yaodong turned around and found nothing, he went back to find his two sons.

The two were very serious and worked very hard to squat there, not running around.

"How much have you dug?" He asked while walking. After walking closer, he saw that the two were digging a pit, and didn't work seriously at all?

"Dug two!" Ye Chengyang took out the two sand clams he buried in the sand like a treasure.

"Not bad, keep working hard, don't play, the task your mother explained must be completed, otherwise there will be no steamed sea urchin eggs at noon."

"I know."

The two moved their little butts, moved to the side, and really worked seriously, but it didn't last long, and they let themselves go again.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect them to dig much, it was originally brought out to play.

"Don't get sand on your head, otherwise you will be beaten when you go back."

It doesn't matter if you get it on your clothes, just pat the sea sand and it will be clean.

"Ah! I dug a very big one!"

Ye Chenghu just wanted to dig sand to play, but didn't expect to dig out a sand clam bigger than his fist.

He was instantly excited, "Ah hahaha, so big, I am so powerful..."

"Good luck, dig a few more!"

"Mm-hmm!"

He was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he dug hard with a slurp.

Basically one per shovel, he really dug a lot all of a sudden, and he became more and more excited as he dug.

"Another one..."

"There is another..."

"Another very big one..." ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
