Chapter 60 Don’t hide anything! When asked, it means that he went to dig up blood eels!
The sun is shining in the sky.
The temperature is very high.
Zhao Dahai was sweating profusely and soaked to the skin. Digging blood eels was a strenuous job, far more strenuous than catching jumping fish. Riding a bamboo horse and sliding around, he saved most of his energy and dug blood. Every blow of the eel's hoe requires strength. The first few holes were fine, but as time passed, more and more holes were dug. It was very laborious to move forward in the mudflat one step at a time. It was very difficult to lift the hoe and dig down. It is even more difficult to peel off each layer of sea mud.
Zhao Dahai gasped for air and stopped to drink some water he brought. His throat and lungs were smoking as if they were on fire. He took a rest and continued to dig.
Zhao Dahai saw a blood eel hole. The entrance was very new and obviously covered with mucus. There was 100% blood eel in it. He dug the hole twice with a hoe and found that the blood eel was not big. He gave up digging and moved forward. Nearly two hours later, I discovered that the density of blood eels in the tidal flat in front of me was high, and they were much bigger. The bigger they were, the more valuable they were. If there were big ones, I would definitely dig up big ones. Besides, if I didn’t gain much from the blood eels here today, It's okay. Once there is a harvest, people in the village will definitely know that someone will come to dig tomorrow, and there may be many people. Time is limited, and I can't kill all the big ones. I can only seize the time to dig the big ones first. With limited energy, Use it on the blade.
The sun sets in the west.
Zhao Dahai heard the sound of sea water flowing. He raised his head and saw that the tide had risen before he knew it. He was only a few dozen meters away from him. The sea water seemed to emerge from the ground immediately at a very fast speed.
Zhao Dahai shook his head. There were indeed a lot of blood eels, all of them big, but the tide was high and it had almost reached the feet, so he had to stop digging.
Zhao Dahai walked back a hundred and eighty meters quickly, throwing away the rising seawater for a certain distance. He found a blood eel eye and immediately dug it out. At this time, he grabbed the time and held his breath. The hoe digs out the sea mud quickly, digging out as many as possible.
Zhao Dahai dug hard with his hoe, and pulled hard with both hands. A large piece of sea mud flew up, and a large blood eel exposed its tail. Just as he was about to add another hoe, seawater poured in and dug out from around his feet. The pit,
"What the hell!"
Zhao Dahai shouted, threw the hoe in his hand, bent down, and quickly dug in with his right hand from the dug hole, and hit the slippery The blood eel, fingers locked, at this moment the adrenal glands were stimulated, and the heart beat wildly like a drum. He gasped for air. After calming down for a while, he stood up. He took out his right hand and clasped a blood eel tightly.
Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat or seawater from his face and looked at the blood eel in his hand. His eyes widened. It was more than fifty centimeters long and was as thick as two fingers side by side. It was over two centimeters and extremely fat. With such a big size, I initially thought it might be another eel. After looking at it carefully for a while, I confirmed that it was indeed a blood eel. After weighing it, I estimated it weighed half a catty.
Big!
It's really big!
This one can sell for one hundred or even one hundred and fifty yuan.
Zhao Dahai opened the plastic bag in the bamboo basket and put the blood eel in. The sea water was almost up to his knees. Now it was impossible to beat the speed of the rising tide and he could not continue digging.
Zhao Dahai packed up his things, put the hoe on his shoulder, carried a bamboo basket with blood eels on one end, and clams in a mesh bag on the other, wading through the water and walking towards the shore as fast as possible. .
Zhao Dahai walked onto the beach, staggered, and almost fell. He put his hand on the ground for a moment before he stabilized himself. He put down the hoe, put the bamboo basket with the blood eel in it, sat on the sand, and dug to the end. By the time I was digging a blood vessel, the sea water had risen to my knees. The resistance of the sea mud and the weight of the blood vessels and clams carried on my shoulders, especially after digging for several hours, was a huge physical exertion, and every step was very strenuous.
Zhao Dahai was breathing heavily, his body was empty, and he had no strength at all. He was not in a hurry to go back. He was too tired and wanted to take a rest. However, when he thought of at least six or seven kilograms of blood eels in the bamboo basket, all the hard work was worth it. .
The sun slowly sinks into the other side of the sea.
Night falls.
Zhao Dahai walked slowly along the beach towards the village.
“Yo!”
"The sea."
"What are you doing?"
...
"This clam soup is really good."
… …
"I was digging razor clams at three or four o'clock, and I saw you walking around the beach in front of the mangroves."
"Digging blood eels?!"...
The village pier is very lively. There are almost a dozen or twenty fishing boats with people on board, all of them are sorting the fishing nets or washing the fishing boats, preparing to go out to sea for fishing later.
“You can’t just sit at home and make some money by digging some blood eels, right?!”
......
“It’s a good size.”
“It’s just too difficult to dig!”
“My back hurts after such an afternoon.”
……
"I don't know if there haven't been many people digging recently, but the quantity is pretty good."
"I'll just dig it if I have nothing to do."
......
Zhao Dahai stopped. , chatting nonchalantly for about ten minutes before walking home.
Does anyone in the village know that they will go digging for blood eels tomorrow?
That's for sure!
Avoid people in the village?
If you want to do this, just take a long way around. I have done this before. At least for the next day or two, no one in the village will know that I am digging blood eels, especially if they don’t know how much they have dug. I will definitely make more money. A lot of money. However, I can't do that now. I used to be a bastard, and no one in the village looked down upon me. I could do whatever I wanted. In recent times, I have changed a lot in the impression of people in the village, and no one dares to look down on me. Otherwise, where would so many people come to say hello? It is inappropriate for me to hide and tuck in as before. If I continue to do this, the people in the village will definitely isolate me. No matter where you are, you can't really survive on your own. You may encounter something, and you may not need help from others one day. He did not hide the matter of digging up blood eels, he was generous and did not talk about the high price acquisition. Liu Gang said to himself, but he did not say that this was the public purchase price in the restaurant. He said it casually, in case a bunch of people dug it. He bought a lot of blood eels and ran to Liu Gang. If Liu Gang refused to accept the price, he would be causing trouble. Liu Gang blamed himself as much as those who dug up the blood eels.
"Do you want to dig up the blood eel? It's really big! Zhao Dahai must have dug five or six kilograms in just half a day!"
......
"I can't do this!"
"It takes a lot of money to dig out this thing. It takes my arms and legs for half a day and I have to lie in bed motionless for several days. It's not worth it!"
……
“Forget it!”
“Not everyone can make this money!”
"I can still go out to sea to fish honestly!"
......
The people at the dock were very envious when they saw Zhao Dahai digging several kilograms of blood eels. Many people were ready to make a move, but very soon Stop thinking about it, blood eels are really not something that everyone can dig up. Just because Zhao Dahai can make this money doesn’t mean that other people can make this money. It really depends on your health.
