Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 210 Soy Sauce Anemone

The fishing season has begun. Li Yuer, wearing a headscarf and holding a bucket and a small shovel, goes fishing with Nao Nao and the others.

It was the first high tide of spring, and many villagers and children were playing at the beach.

The women with children would keep an eye on their children while they were fishing, not letting them get close to the beach.

Nao Nao pulled out a large abalone from between the rocks. "Look! It's really heavy. It must be fat after being raised for a whole winter."

Erdan found a large sea cucumber. "Ever since I ate the pickled sea cucumbers from Yubaoer's house last time, I've been thinking about it. Unfortunately, there are not many of them in Laobie Bay. Every time I pick them up, the total amount is not enough to pickle a small jar. Today I'm really lucky. I caught several in a row. I think it's enough to pickle a small jar."

Li Erlang was wearing whale skin water shoes, standing in a puddle, struggling with a fish.

The puddle was not big, so it should not be difficult to catch the fish with bare hands, but the difficult part was that there was a stone in the puddle, and the fish kept jumping back and forth around the stone.

It was on the left side of the stone just now, but with a "whoosh", it suddenly jumped to the right side of the stone. Li Erlang was played around by the fish.

He shouted angrily, "Look, if I catch you, I'm going to chop you into pieces and steam you!"

"Snapped!"

Maybe because he moved too much, Li Erlang slipped and almost fell flat on his face.

Shitou walked forward, picked up Shitou, and with his arms spread out, the stone was lifted up. There were water plants hanging on the stone, and underneath it was a flower crab with its claws open, demonstrating to the two men.

The two of them took a look, passed over the flower crab, and focused their attention on the big fish.

"Bang!" The stone was thrown aside, "Erlang, catch it!"

Without the stone, the fish had no place to hide and was caught by Li Erlang in no time.

"Hahahaha! It's a giant grouper. I made a profit! I made a profit! All my efforts were worth it."

Li Erlang held the grouper and twisted it around in the puddle, showing off.

"Puff!" Li Yu'er was stunned and was suddenly sprayed in the face by a stream of water.

“Hahahahahaha!” Li Erlang laughed so hard that he doubled over, and the fish in his hand almost ran away. “Sea Chrysanthemum Jet Bomb! Yu Baoer, you didn’t even dodge it! This Sea Chrysanthemum is in trouble.”

When going to the beach, if you accidentally touch anemones hiding under the sand, you might be given a water bomb.

Li Yuer rolled her eyes at Li Erlang and wiped the water off her face with her sleeve.

"You were careless! You dared to spray me, tut tut tut, little daisy, you are in trouble."

Seeing that Li Yu'er was not angry at all, Li Erlang suddenly felt bored and muttered, "Sea Chrysanthemum is just a piece of trash that no one wants!"

"No, no, no! Brother, you are wrong. Sea chrysanthemums are not trash, they are treasures!" Li Yuer picked up a small shovel and began to dig sea chrysanthemums on the beach.

Li Erlang snorted, waded to the shore, and carefully put the grouper (giant grouper) into the bucket.

Before digging, Li Yuer poked the anemone to let it drain the water to avoid being splashed again.

After a while, Li Yuer had dug up half a bucket of sea chrysanthemums.

Nao Nao came over carrying a large sea eel, "Look, a big flower dragon!"

In his hand was a colorful eel with a khaki background and black patterns. Its snake-like body kept twisting in Nao Nao's hand.

Li Erlang said enviously, "Great! It seems that I am the first today, and you have the second largest harvest."

An old lady from the village passed by and was surprised to see half a bucket of sea anemones in Li Yuer's bucket.

"Yubaoer, why are you digging these anemones? Did you catch ducklings?"

Li Yuer stopped what she was doing and said with a smile, "No, I'll go home and fry it."

"Is this thing edible?" The old lady was surprised again.

As she spoke, she threw a seahorse out of the bucket and said, "When was this thing brought in?"

Li Yuer's eyes lit up when he saw the still alive seahorse.

"Auntie, why did you throw away the seahorse?"

The old lady was surprised and asked, "If this thing can't be eaten, is it just taking up space?"

Li Yuer picked up the seahorse and said, "If you don't want it, I want it."

"Take it, take it!" The old lady felt that Li Yuer was still a child. Although he looked well-behaved and polite, children are always playful. She must have wanted to take it home and raise it for fun.

Li Yuer thought about it, took out a cat's eye snail from the bucket and put it into the old lady's bucket.

The old lady refused: "If you pick up something I don't want, it's yours. Why are you giving me the conch?"

Li Yuer said: "My grandma said that we can't take advantage of others for nothing, we must exchange equal value."

The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Yu Baoer is such a good kid, so obedient and sensible."

After saying that, the old lady continued to go fishing.

Nao Nao and the others looked at Li Yu'er's half-bucket of sea anemones and asked, "Yu Bao'er, is this really edible? It can't be poisonous, right?"

Li Erlang said, "It must be non-toxic, otherwise why would chickens and ducks rush to eat it? Non-toxic doesn't necessarily mean it tastes good, I've never seen anyone eat this stuff."

Nao Nao is a persistent supporter of Li Yu'er. He said, "Before, no one ate sea rats, but now customers are rushing to buy the sea rats at your stall."

Li Yuer didn't intend to hide it and said, "It's edible and tastes good. You have to squeeze out the internal organs before eating."

Sea anemones can live in a wide range of environments, including beaches, reefs, shallows or deep seas. However, sea anemones on beaches are relatively easy to dig.

Sea anemones are rich in nutritional value, have a smooth and chewy texture, and are very delicious when stir-fried with soy sauce.

Li Yuer walked to the place where the beach met the sea water, and she suddenly found a stranded jellyfish.

It might have been washed ashore by last night's wind and waves.

The tentacles on the jellyfish's claws are still wriggling, they are alive and edible.

Of course Li Yuer would not grab it directly with his hands. The tentacles of jellyfish contain stings and venom. If he grabbed it rashly, he would get hurt. His hands would feel alternating pain and itchiness like being stung by a jellyfish, which was very painful.

Many people don’t know that if you are accidentally stung by a jellyfish, the fastest and most effective way is to put your hand in the sea water, which will quickly relieve the symptoms.

She didn't know what the principle was, but she had been stung by a jellyfish in her previous life. She was quick-witted at the time and immediately put her hand into the sea water, and the symptoms were immediately relieved a lot.

Moreover, the spines of the jellyfish philosopher can move. Perhaps it is because when you put your hand into the sea water, the spines will instinctively float away when they encounter water.

"Yubaoer, what are you looking at?"

Li Laosan came over. His bucket was full, and even his backpack was full. There was no more room to put more water, so he wanted to help others catch fish from the sea.

"Here is a stranded jellyfish. I plan to take it back and eat it."

"It's a sand jellyfish, it's not tasty. Wait until autumn and I'll make you some noodles and eat the stingfish."

Li Yuer shook her head. "Sand jellyfish smells like sand jellyfish. I want to take it back and try it."

Sand jellyfish are large in size, light in color, and soft in texture, while flour jellyfish are small in size, firm and crisp in texture, and do not melt easily, and are relatively more expensive.

Li Laosan was in a dilemma. It was so big that it was unreliable to take it back.

"How about this, just cut off the jellyfish claws."

The most delicious part of the jellyfish is the red feet, so Li Laosan put on gloves, cut off the jellyfish's feet with a fish knife, and put them into a bucket.

"This is enough for you. This stuff is very watery and will dissolve quickly. It won't keep for long."
