Chapter 94 Didn’t you expect that? The octopus is on the beach!
Zhong Cuihua walked about ten meters along the beach, smiled and told Zhao Dahai that she could add another dish tonight.
Zhao Dahai looked around. It was not the time of low tide. The waves were crashing on the beach. It was impossible to catch crabs or dig snails. There were holes for sand horses on the beach. It was not impossible to dig them with bare hands, but it was too It's not worth the effort, and Shama can make porridge, but it's not a serious dish.
“Grandma.”
“You don’t want to go to the reef in front to see if you can get something to eat, do you?”
Zhao Dahai pointed to the reef at the end of the beach. He caught a lot of big crabs and tiger fish and a red spot there, and made a lot of money. There were a lot of small oysters growing on the reef, and he could find some snails. It's not difficult to get a meal.
Zhong Cuihua didn't say anything. She walked a few steps forward, lowered her waist, dug a few times on the beach, and caught an octopus as big as a fist.
"Huh?"
"No way?"
Zhao Dahai widened his eyes. It was like a magic trick. He never knew that he could dig out something on the beach. octopus.
Zhong Cuihua handed the octopus to Zhao Dahai and continued to walk forward. After walking another five or six meters, he bent down and dug a few times on the beach, and dug out another octopus of about the same size.
"Grandma!"
"Why didn't you tell me this good thing earlier? You can come here every day to dig!"
Zhao Dahai's eyes almost fell out, one after another. Only, if there are so many octopuses on the sofa, you don’t have to do anything. You can dig them here every day. It’s impossible to get rich. It’s not difficult at all to support a family. This is much better than going out to fish.
“Ha!”
"What are you thinking about?"
"This kind of octopus comes up with the tide. Do you think I am the only one who knows about this village? If there are really so many people, don't hundreds and dozens of people come here every day? That's it. It only lasts for a while. After that, it’s gone. It’s okay to make a few bucks by eating it or selling it.”
Zhong Cuihua patted the sand on her hands. There are octopuses on the beach, but not many. I just happened to encounter them today. Thinking about the impossibility of making money from this.
Zhao Dahai followed Zhong Cuihua and looked behind him for a while, and saw the doorway.
The beach looks nothing special, but if you look carefully, you will find that when the waves come up and then recede, some places will leave a mark. The color is slightly darker than other places, and it is a bit concave. I don’t pay special attention to it. You can't even see it if you don't squat down to look.
Zhao Dahai walked in front of Zhong Cuihua, half-crouched and stared wide-eyed. A wave of waves came ashore and then returned to the sea. A mark was exposed a few meters away. He immediately walked over quickly and reached out to dig five or six times. , dug up an octopus. The size is no different from the one dug before.
"Ha!"
"Grandma!"
"Found it! Found it!"
Zhao Dahai was very happy, the octopus was in his hand He kept crawling inside, wrapping his long claws around his hands. He walked back to his fishing boat, took a mesh bag and put the five octopuses he had caught, and continued walking along the beach for a few hundred meters. When we got to the reef at the end, we caught a total of twelve octopuses, which weighed almost three kilograms. But when we walked back, we looked again and found none. I really gave up now. There were indeed octopuses on the beach, but they were really There aren't many, so I thought it would be impossible to make money by digging there every three to five days.
Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua walked around the beach and went home to make a luxurious dinner. They cooked all the octopus they had just dug. After putting the rice in and cooking the rice, they washed the wok and boiled a pot of water. , the octopus was briefly washed and put in whole. It turned red immediately and took ten seconds. Take it out and drain the water. I didn’t see much of it when it was alive. I cooked it and put it in a basin.
Zhao Dahai carried the big basin to the main room and put it on the table.
“Ha!”
“Grandma!”
“Tonight is all thanks to you!”
Zhao Dahai picked up a steaming octopus and put it into Zhong Cuihua's bowl. Just now, he just thought about going outside for a walk, which would be good for his health. He didn't think about making a delicious meal without any effort.
Fresh octopus does not require any complicated cooking methods. In the fishing villages on the seaside, it is boiled directly with boiling water. When it is cooked, take it out, drain the water, and dip it in soy sauce. The best way to eat it is to eat it with nothing. Add and eat directly.
Zhao Dahai put the whole octopus into his mouth, bit it gently, and made a snapping sound. It was as crisp as cartilage and broke with one bite. A sweetness filled the whole mouth. After two bites, one of them was already there. When I swallowed it, it was freshly cooked and very hot. I kept breathing.
"Slow down. Slow down."
"A twenty-year-old guy, how can he still act like a child?"
Zhong Cuihua said as she took one of her chopsticks and put it into Zhao Dahai's bowl.
"Grandma."
"I can just pick it up myself."
......
"Okay!" "Eat more if you like."
"That's enough."
......
After dinner, Zhao Dahai and Zhong Cuihua were busy with their own things. One continued to weave the fishing net, and the other went to the back of the house to take care of it. As long as you are willing to work in the vegetable field, you will have endless things to do from the moment you open your eyes to the time you go to sleep.
It was just after six in the morning.
Only half of the sun's face was glowing red in the sky.
The town was already very lively, with people coming and going, and it was a bit busy. There were too many people, and a small truck slowed down.
Ding Lishan was sitting in the passenger seat. The person driving the car was the person he hired to pull the goods. There was another person sitting in the back row who was working with him.
“Hey!”
“Sister-in-law!”
Ding Lishan saw Zhang Li riding a tricycle with two large buckets filled with live fish in the breeding water. He knew that he was going to Liu Gang's restaurant to sell fish, so he opened the window and shouted.
“Huh?”
“Where are you going this morning?”
Zhang Li looked at the small truck. This must be a diesel or gasoline engine for delivery. Install.
“Go to Langtou Village.”
"That's right."
"You came into my store a few days ago, and there happened to be a young man buying a diesel engine, didn't he?"
"The big guy about 1.8 meters tall. ”
Ding Lishan remembered that Zhang Li happened to be in his store that day.
“Huh?”
"Zhao Dahai?"
"Didn't you already buy one? Why buy another one now?"
Zhang Li blurted out.
“Yes.”
“Sister-in-law.”
"Your memory is so good. I just said this person's name once and you remembered it."
...
"This one is called Zhao Dahai. I wanted to buy it from the beginning. There are two diesel engines, but I didn’t have enough money, so I only bought one.”
“I ordered another one at the store yesterday. It seems that I made money from fishing.”
……
"I have to hurry up and rush over."
"I made an appointment to be there before nine o'clock for installation, so I can't be late."
......
Zhang Li looked at it Ding Lishan's pickup truck drove forward. A diesel engine costs at least several thousand yuan. It has only been a few days since Zhao Dahai last bought a diesel engine. Can you make so much money in such a short time? Good luck? Or maybe a master of fishing?
Zhang Li was pondering as she pedaled her tricycle forward. Her mind was buzzing and she couldn't understand why Zhao Dahai made money so quickly. He made five or six thousand in a few days.
It’s really important to ask for further reading. Please vote.
Will anyone think that I am making this up? Octopuses can indeed be found on beaches where waves hit them. Of course, they are not found only on beaches.
