Chapter 583: Catch Crabs

"This thing is called Haihong, and it tastes good after being cooked." Looking at the dense black shells on the reef, Ai Xiaoxi explained to Jiang Hai with a smile, and after hearing her words, Jiang Hai also moved his hands. , because he has seen this kind of thing before.

Haihong, whose scientific name is mussel, is a very common shellfish in China. It can also be said to be one of the cheapest seafood besides clams. Basically, it only costs a few yuan per pound. It is cheap in Bingcheng. Sometimes it costs five yuan for three pounds.

This kind of shellfish is very fat, has good meat taste, and is rich in nutrients. Although the most delicious green-lipped mussel is more expensive than the ordinary seashell, it is not particularly expensive. When this kind of creature was first born, it was Those without shells can move freely.

But when they encounter a suitable environment, they begin to live on rocks or other hard objects.

They live a fixed life throughout their lives, so rocks and other things are their best choice.

Looking at the shells in front of him, to be honest, Jiang Hai hadn't eaten them in a while, so he started digging with a small shovel.

This thing is very hard, so it’s not easy to dig, but it can’t stand up to Jiang Hai’s invincible power!

In less than half an hour, he had dug almost half of the bucket. Seeing that he had dug so much, the two siblings Ai Xiaoxi and Ai Xiaohui over there immediately stopped Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai looked at him with doubts. , Ai Xiaoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Why are you digging so many of these things? We are here to catch razor clams and crabs. These things are available at any time." After hearing Ai Xiaoxi's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but touch his nose. Yes, this kind of food is indeed very common and not expensive.

So the three of them stopped and picked out Jiang Hai's half bucket of Haihong. Keep the big ones and throw away the small ones.

But even so, there is about a third of the barrel left, and with the other two people, it should be about ten kilograms.

At this time, the water on the sea also receded. Jiang Hai and Ai Shi also stepped on the sandy beach and began to look for their main course today, those crabs and other delicious food.

Soon, Ai Xiaohui made a discovery and shouted. Just use the curved shovel to dig into the sand and turn it around.

When it was pulled out, a lot of sand was brought out, but in the middle of the sand, there was a long, light yellow shellfish.

"Wow, it's such a big one!" Looking at the shellfish he brought out, Jiang Hai immediately ran over, shoveled the sand from its body to the side, and then picked it up. It was a razor clam. Jiang Hai is no stranger to this.

Bingcheng also likes to eat this thing, so it is usually called Xiaorenxian. Compared with ordinary shellfish, this kind of razor clam is larger, has more meat, and has a thinner shell. It does not weigh heavily, so it is popular in seafood markets. Still very popular.

"This is a razor clam. It is the largest razor clam. It is almost twelve centimeters. It looks like this razor clam is quite good." Taking the razor clam from Jiang Hai's hand, Ai Xiaohui smiled and used the razor clam with his hands. He washed it with water and threw it into his bucket. At the same time, he explained to Jiang Hai, and then he told Jiang Hai how to judge where there were razor clams.

But according to what he said, Jiang Hai searched several places but couldn't find any of them. Instead, two siblings, Ai Xiaoxi and Ai Xiaohui, found a lot of these things. Soon they were almost looking for five. , six pounds.

Seeing that he really didn't seem to have the talent to catch razor clams, Jiang Hai set his sights on something else...

After the tide rises and falls, there will always be a lot of creatures washing up on the beach, including everything.

In addition to all kinds of shellfish, there are also small fish, shrimps, starfish, etc. It can be said that the smaller creatures in the sea will rush up here. Jiang Hai cannot deal with the razor clams under the beach, but he can deal with these beaches. There is still no problem with the above things.

Not long after, I picked up a lot of shellfish and two starfish. There was no way Jiang Hai could eat these starfish. Most people couldn't eat these things, but it was quite good to pick them up and play with them. Look at how big this thing is. A pile of small tentacles.

If people with trypophobia watch it, they will really break out in a cold sweat. This thing does have some pitfalls.

Just when Jiang Hai was happy, he accidentally kicked a stone away, and then a crab the size of a child's fist scurried out from under the stone. When he saw this thing, Jiang Hai also became energetic.

He has not forgotten the purpose of coming here, not these small shells, but crabs!

Jiang Hai was much faster than the crab. He reached out and instantly grabbed one of the crab's legs.

But this crab is wild and ferocious. When its leg was pulled, it also turned around in an instant. The two huge pincers clamped towards Jiang Hai's hand, but Jiang Hai was faster. , threw it away in an instant, and when he caught it again, he had already pinched its outer shell with two fingers. This time it had no chance to pinch Jiang Hai.

"Look, I caught a crab. Can this be eaten?" Holding the caught crab, Jiang Hai said to Ai Xiaoxi and Ai Xiaohui in the distance. After hearing Jiang Hai's words, this The two siblings also rushed over.

"Oh, this is a sand crab. You can eat it. You are really good. This little thing can run very fast." After getting closer, Ai Xiaoxi saw the appearance of the crab clearly and faced Jiang Hai. said.

The sand crab can be said to be a very ancient crab. It originated in the Cretaceous period and was in the same dynasty as the dinosaurs.

It developed and expanded during the Tertiary Period. Now this kind of crab can be found all over the world, and there are more than 70 species in China.

"Brother-in-law, keep up the good work. Let's catch the razor clams and leave the crabs to you." Seeing Jiang Hai catch a crab so easily, Ai Xiaohui over there was also very excited and said with a happy face. His physical fitness meant that he could no longer keep up with the speed of crabs except for using his hands to catch crabs, so when he came here, he had no intention of catching any crabs.

But now Jiang Hai can easily catch it with his bare hands. This really makes his eyes light up. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

"No problem!" Hearing his words, Jiang Hai also laughed. With Ai Xiaoxi's help, he tied up the crab with a rope, and then Jiang Hai stopped caring about the small shells on the beach. , began to turn over the rocks over there.

Facts have proved that there are indeed a lot of crabs here, and they often come out early after turning over the stone.

Basically, if you turn over three or five stones, a sand crab will appear and run away, but little Jiang Hai let it go.

He only caught the larger ones, but even so, Jiang Hai caught a lot of sand crabs before long.

These little things can run very fast, but Jiang Hai is faster. Compared with him, these little crabs are still a little behind.

But just when Jiang Hai was enjoying his catch, he suddenly turned over a stone and found that there was also a crab under the stone. However, unlike the sand crab he caught, this crab was green and black. , and it had a particularly big claw. After seeing Jiang Hai, it didn't run away like a sand crab, but raised its pliers, as if to gesture with Jiang Hai.

"Hey? What kind of fun is this?" Looking at the crab in front of him, Jiang Hai stretched out his hands and picked it up. He looked at it carefully. It looked so weird. One pincer was big and the other was small. , and then there seems to be some aggressive tendencies. What the hell is this?

"This is a fiddler crab, which is also a type of sand crab. However, it is classified into different categories and can be eaten." Just when Jiang Hai was a little strange, Ai Xiaoxi also came over and looked at the little crab in Jiang Hai's hand. Crab couldn't help but smile and explain to Jiang Hai.

At this time, her small bucket already contained almost half a bucket of razor clams, weighing five or six kilograms. There was no need for her to catch too many.

After all, Ai Xiaohui was still catching, so after seeing some gains, she came to Jiang Hai and was responsible for helping Jiang Hai tie up crabs. Although these crabs were not big, it would be troublesome if they escaped. of.

Hearing her words, Jiang Hai also nodded, knowing another species. Even though Jiang Hai had a manor and a fishing ground.

But he knew very few types of crabs, except for the swimming crabs that he often ate before.

He only knows about spider crabs, king crabs, which he has in his manor, and river crabs.

He has seen many kinds of sea crabs like this before, especially sand crabs, which are found all over the world.

But he had never thought about eating this thing before, nor did he want to understand it.

Looking at it now, there are really a lot of these crabs. After helping Ai Xiaoxi tie up this crab carefully, Jiang Hai continued to search here. After getting this first fiddler crab, Jiang Hai found a few more fiddler crabs, but more of them were sand crabs. But after rummaging for a while, he found another kind of crab...

"This is a big-eyed crab." Looking at Jiang Hai picking up this crab, which was obviously larger than sand crabs and fiddler crabs, Ai Xiaoxi also introduced it to him, although Ai Xiaoxi was in the Imperial Capital now. Life, but after all, this is the place where she has lived since she was a child.

She knows every plant, tree, creature and species here very well.

Maybe the scientific name is hard to come by, but the locals can tell you exactly what this creature is called.

It is said that working with men and women is not tiring, especially when Jiang Hai was still very interested in this matter. Before he knew it, his small bucket was filled with a bucket full of crabs, and Ai Xiaoxi's small bucket There are quite a few in there too.

"Sister, brother-in-law, it's almost time to go back." Just when Jiang Hai and Ai Xiaoxi were enjoying their arrest here, Ai Xiaohui's voice came over. Only then did they notice that they had already caught him unconsciously. More than three hours of seafood.

It was already past 12 o'clock at noon. He had just been busy eating and didn't feel hungry. Now looking at the time, Jiang Hai had already digested the two bowls of noodles he had eaten in the morning. Let's look at his harvest. , Jiang Hai's face was filled with a proud smile. (To be continued.)
