I have a sea in ancient times

Chapter 8 Tasting Butter Crab

After coming to the folding space again.

Lu Hai is sure that the tides here are synchronized with the real world, because he grew up by the sea and is quite familiar with the changes of tides.

Today is the second day of the lunar calendar.

It is a big live flood.

For fishermen on the seaside, it is not suitable for catching the sea every day. According to the size of the tidal drop, the locals are divided into live flood and dead flood.

Generally, on the first, second, sixteenth, and seventeenth day of the lunar calendar, the local heat is called Da Huo Flood, which means that the tide drop is very large, and the sea water will recede far away.

At this time, it is more suitable to catch the sea. Some fish that like to stay on the seaside may be stranded because the tide is too fast, and fishermen can directly pick up the leaks.

Lu Hai checked the time on his phone.

It is ten o'clock in the morning.

The tide has already started to rise. At this time, sea fish will swim over to look for food. It is the best time to get out of the fishing cage.

After Lu Hai tidied up the cages, he threw all the dead fish, shrimp, stinky sea oysters he bought from the fish stall into it.

You can put bait in the cage by the sea, or you can leave it alone. Anyway, these things and snakes like to drill holes.

But if you want the effect to be good, it's good to put some bait, especially the mixed one like him, the fish luring effect is still good.

After placing the five fishing cages in order, the tide almost followed.

According to the local tide situation, today's low tide time is around two o'clock in the afternoon, that is to say, the next four hours will be in a state of high tide.

These four hours are enough to smoke several pits, but Lu Hai didn't plan to smoke, because he forgot to bring oxygen equipment. If he caught the fish like this, he would leave it for five or six hours.

100% will die due to lack of oxygen, and in their case, the price of dead fish is sometimes less than half of that of live fish.

Lu Hai wanted to wait for the next low tide before pumping these puddles, and for these four hours, he would take good care of the blue crabs hiding in the crevices of the rocks.

He left in such a hurry yesterday that he forgot to take good care of these cuties. Lu Hai took out a barbed iron rod and stuck it into a hole.

He has just discovered that there are relatively clear crab footprints around the cave, and based on the size and depth of the footprints, it can be judged that this is a quite large crab.

After Lu Hai poked it several times.

I found that the hole turned around and the iron rod couldn't reach it at all, so I changed to a small shovel and started digging.

Digging holes is a lot of fun.

Just like "Schrödinger's Hole", if you don't dig it, it's hard to know whether there are blue crabs in the hole, and if you dig it, there may not be any.

However, Lu Hai was very happy to dig holes every time. He went down with one shovel after another, and quickly dug a big hole for it, about 15 minutes later.

Lu Hai saw a thing wrapped in mud, curled up there motionless, still playing invisibility.

Lu Hai teased it with a shovel, pretending to be dead at first, but after touching it several times in a row, his temper suddenly became irritable.

He raised two large pliers and fought against the shovel, holding the edge of the shovel tightly, looking very angry.

In the next second, a ruthless iron foot stepped on it and pressed it tightly. Lu Hai firmly grasped the last pair of swimming claws of the blue crab with his right hand, and lifted it up.

Many people think that you need to pinch your buttocks to catch a blue crab. In fact, that kind of grasping method is not very safe, especially for novices, the pair of big pincers of a blue crab may still catch your hand.

The safest way to grab it is to just grab the rear pair of slightly different-looking claws and lift it up.

After Lu Hai washed the mud off its body, he was stunned, not expecting it to be a butter crab.

Looking at this butter crab, Lu Hai really wanted to complain. As a child who grew up by the sea, when he was a child, the butter crab was treated as a sick crab.

A long time ago, it was ridiculed as "aborted female crab", and it can only be used for stir-fry and porridge, and I don't know when.

It may be that the price of this product has been rising since the rise of eating and broadcasting. The first-hand butter crab can be sold for about [-] yuan, and it is also known as the "king of crabs".

It was a good start this time, and it was really good. Lu Hai weighed it, and the butter crab in his hand was quite heavy, probably weighing more than a catty.

With them, this one is estimated to sell for around 2000. Now he has really made a lot of money. Lu Hai took out a rope from his pocket and tied it neatly.

After catching a butter crab.

Lu Hai continued to look for new caves as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. If he couldn't dig out, he just dug with a shovel. But this time he overturned his car, and what he dug out turned out to be a two-two-weight stone crab.

ヽ(#`Д)

Looking at the stone crab, Lu Hai looked disgusted. It was such a cheap thing that couldn't even sell for ten yuan, and he wasted 10 minutes of his time.

During the period of high tide, Lu Hai dug and filled everywhere, and caught a total of six large blue crabs. Unfortunately, except for the butter crab at the beginning, the rest were normal blue crabs.

Lu Hai roughly estimated that the butter crab, including these blue crabs, could sell for about [-].

In addition to blue crabs, Lu Hai also caught more than a dozen stone crabs, just enough to make up two catties, which can be sold for 50 yuan (it is a blood loss to catch this thing).

I picked up more than [-] conch shells, weighing a total of five catties, which can be sold for [-], and there are seven or eight conch shells, which can be sold for about [-].

In total, it can be sold for about three thousand and five thousand.

It feels so cool to monopolize a piece of sea area by one person. With just five acres of land, he has managed to produce so many blue crabs.

But Lu Hai is also very clear that after digging this time, if he wants to continue digging next time, there will not be so many.

After all, blue crabs grow relatively slowly, and it will take at least one or two years to grow to one or two catties. If you want to continue to catch blue crabs, you may have to buy a new exploration space.

13:00pm.

The tide rose to the highest point, submerging the entire reef area, and all the puddles were also submerged. Lu Hai climbed to a higher place and sat on a reef for lunch.

This time he brought a piece of bread and a bottle of Fat House Happy Water, but after taking a few bites of the bread, Lu Hai stared at the butter crabs tied up by him, and couldn't help swallowing.

In the past, he must have been reluctant to eat, after all, it was all money, but after getting the golden finger, Lu Hai seemed a little swollen, and the tight string in his heart was broken.

"Eat it."

"Don't people live to eat?"

His right hand reached for the butter crab uncontrollably, and then he took out a set of stove pots for outdoor use. It was really a coincidence that this outdoor pot just fit the butter crab.

Lu Hai lit the stove and scooped up a pot of seawater. Now, many eaters are eating butter crabs, fearing that the butter crabs will break their legs and bleed oil when they struggle.They will choose to freeze the butter crab first.

In fact, it’s really not that particular. As long as it’s tied tightly enough so that the blue crab can’t move, it won’t lose its arms and legs. Next, Lu Hai threw the crabs that were tied up with five flowers into it, and then covered the pot.

After about 10 minutes.

The water vapor kept rising, and the lid of the pot popped up, and a scent came out along with the steam, which made Lu Hai swallow his saliva.

Lu Hai waited patiently for another 5 minutes before lifting the lid of the pot. The whole blue crab had been cooked, which was slightly different from ordinary blue crabs.

After the butter crab was cooked, the shell was not red, but red with yellow in it. Lu Hai, who was already very hungry, endured the heat and quickly removed the rope.

Then he broke off a large crab claw, which was as thick as Lu Hai's three fingers.

Lu Hai directly put it in his mouth, and with a crisp sound, the crab claw was crushed, and a stream of fragrant juice flowed into Lu Hai's mouth.

The crab flavor is very strong.

At the same time, there was a sweet taste. Lu Hai couldn't help but take a sip, and the whole mouth was filled with fluid. This is the real "smell of the sea".

The meat in the crab claws is very plump and soft when you bite into it. There is also butter in the middle of the crab meat. Lu Hai can guarantee that among all the butter crabs he has eaten, this is really top-notch.

After eating a crab claw.

Lu Hai ate another one, and not long after, he broke open the whole crab, looked at the golden shredded meat, and took a sip of Happy Fat House water happily.

It's worth it!
