"Okay, I'll carry it out first." Chen Xiaohu carried the garlic crayfish out.
Chen Xiaoyun kept cleaning the pot, and then started frying the thirteen-flavored crayfish.
After frying the thirteen-flavored crayfish, Chen Xiaoyun boiled the prawns.
Tonight is all about shrimps and snails, simple!
"Thank you for your hard work, chef. Come on, let's toast you first." Everyone raised their glasses to Chen Xiaoyun.
"Let's all drink together, but don't get drunk. The tide is probably going to be low today, so even if you get drunk, you won't be able to experience the sea." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Okay, let's drink less wine. After eating, we will go to the sea to see the scene of low tide on the beach."
What everyone drinks is beer, and as long as you don’t drink too much, you rarely get intoxicated.
"Well, Brother Chen, your fried crayfish is really delicious. I have to say, this is it!" He Qiang gave a thumbs up and praised.
"That's right, Brother Chen's cooking skills are completely chef-level."
"Brother Chen's stir-fried crayfish is the most delicious crayfish I have ever eaten. The meat is tender, chewy and tasty. The more you eat, the more you want to eat." Song Xiaoxing spoke while her hands kept peeling the shrimps. .
"You boy, you are quite sweet!" Li Letian said with a smile.
Although everyone has just met each other, they get along like old friends for many years, and they don't feel unfamiliar at all.
Maybe this is a man who loves fishing, has a common topic, and can become friends after a drink.
"Well, this shrimp roe is really delicious. My family, it's so delicious and fragrant." Chen Xiaohu live broadcasted eating crayfish.
"It's delicious. Everyone must eat it all, otherwise it will be a disapproval of my cooking skills." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Haha, I'll definitely show them all off!"
"Come on, let's go!"
"Brother Qiang, now the whole Internet knows that you are the strongest man in Sichuan and Chongqing, and they are calling you the Emperor of Heaven, haha." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Come on, let's toast Brother Qiang, the strongest man in our fishing world!" Song Xiaoxing raised his glass.
"Haha, that was a joke made by netizens, and everyone laughed at it. It's just that the mother-in-law at home is reasonable. After finishing her work, she went fishing for fun." He Qiang explained with a smile.
"Wow, Mr. He is here too. He is indeed the strongest man in the fishing world."
"The Nth day I envy Mr. He..."
"So many crayfish, they look so delicious, my mouth is watering..."
"The anchor is handsome, rich and accomplished. He is simply the perfect man."
…
Everyone had a great time eating, and Chen Xiaoyun was also very happy.
Get together with friends, drink heavily, eat delicious food around a group, talk about fishing, and chat about the world.
He enjoyed this carefree life very much.
After dinner, everyone sat and rested for a while, and the sun set.
It was after seven o'clock and it was getting dark.
"Let's go, grab a bucket and a flashlight, and go catch the sea." Chen Xiaoyun said to everyone.
They were also very curious about catching the sea. They had never experienced it before and were eager to try it.
Everyone drank and couldn't drive, so they walked along the coastline.
By now, the tide had receded a lot.
"Brother Chen, why don't we catch the sea on the beach in front of your house?" Song Xiaoxing asked curiously.
Obviously, there is also a large beach in front of Chen Xiaoyun's house!
"That beach is all made of fine yellow sand, with no rocks or seaweed. Except for some shellfish, there is very little seafood." Chen Xiaoyun explained.
The beach in front of his house is only suitable for swimming. It is not too deep and there are not many fish, shrimps and crabs.
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at a large beach. Everyone was almost sober from the wine.
Although they were not drunk, Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaonan were still a little dizzy after drinking so little alcohol.
After walking two or three kilometers, I was sober from the wine.
There are already many people on this large beach.
The tide has receded far away, and many people have already begun to rush to the sea.
At low tide, this beach can go back six to seven hundred meters.
There is a lot of seafood left after the low tide, so when the tide comes out, many people come to this beach to catch the sea.
"Wow, this tide has receded too far!"
Looking at the large stretch of beach exposed, everyone was extremely surprised.
"This is normal. This beach can retreat six to seven hundred meters at low tide, and there is a lot of seafood left behind." Chen Xiaohu explained.
"There was a time when the tide receded and the lake retreated more than a thousand meters. At that time, the people who went to sea could not hold the seafood harvest, so they had to carry it on their backs."
"So many people are rushing to the sea, there must be hundreds of them." Looking at the people rushing to the sea, Jiang Yan and the others were very surprised.
"Let's go, hurry up and catch the sea, otherwise all the good stuff will be picked up by others later." Song Xiaoxing was very excited.
The young man had never been to the sea before, so he was very excited when he went to the sea for the first time.
"Let's see what good stuff we can pick up today. Late night snacks will depend on your efforts." Chen Xiaoyun said with a smile.
"Come on, Dahai, I'm coming!" Song Xiaoxing was the first to rush over.
Chen Xiaohu also rushed over. The young man was full of energy.
After the tide goes out, the exposed seabed, which slopes down gently, is mostly sand.
Chen Xiaonan also followed. The three of them were about the same age.
Only four veteran cadres, Li Letian, He Qiang, Jiang Yan, and Chen Xiaoyun, were walking slowly and leisurely in the back, neither arrogant nor impetuous.
There was a lot of talking and laughing along the way!
"This sand is so soft!" Jiang Yan took off her slippers and stepped on the fine sand.
"Don't take off your shoes randomly. There are many shell fragments under the sand, which can easily scratch your feet." Chen Xiaoyun reminded.
After listening to Chen Xiaoyun's words, Jiang Yan put on her slippers again.
"Hey, there is a kind of crab here." Li Letian said cheerfully.
Chen Xiaoyun looked at it and couldn't help but said: "Don't pick up those little crabs. They are so small. Do you want to take them back and eat the shells?"
"Oh, I'm just telling you why no one picked it up. It turns out it's too small."
"Well, why are there bubbles here?" He Qiang reached down, pulled the sand, and pulled out a cat's eye snail.
"Oh, that's right. Such a big cat's eye snail can be collected." Li Letian said.
"Huh? What kind of fish is this, brother Chen?" Jiang Yan found a fish in a small puddle.
Chen Xiaoyun took one look and said, "That's noodle fish, no one wants it."
"It looks pretty good, white and long." Jiang Yan muttered.
People who have never been to the sea are very curious about what sea creatures they see when they go to the sea for the first time.
When they see a small crab, they want to pick it up and catch it.
"Then what is this, Brother Chen!" Li Letian picked up a piece of seafood that really wanted to be a squid.
"We call that sea hare. It looks like a squid, like a small squid. But this sea hare doesn't grow very big. It's only as big as the one in your hand."
"However, this nudibranch is quite delicious. You can pick some back up and try them." Chen Xiaoyun said.
"Hey, then I'll put it in the bucket!" Li Letian picked up a sea hare and was very happy.
This beach is too wide, so it seems very sparse with hundreds of people rushing to the beach.
As they went deeper, everyone picked up more and more seafood.
"I picked up a big crab, what kind of crab is this?"
"That's Red Armor Red!"
"Oh...I picked up an orchid crab."
"This conch is so big, damn!"
“There are so many sixty-year-olds, I can’t finish them all, I can’t finish them all!”
"If you want to realize the freedom of seafood, come and live by the sea. There are endless seafood and endless sea."
Tonight's trip to the sea gave Li Letian, Jiang Yan, and He Qiang, who live inland, a different experience.
Very novel and fun!
It's a new experience.
Just like a child who lives by the sea and goes to the mountains to find fungi.
The sea breeze blows, carrying a salty and wet breath.
After it became completely dark, hundreds of flashlights were seen dangling on the entire beach.
When Chen Xiaoyun goes to the sea, he likes to pick up seafood such as flower shells, white clams, yellow clams, and conches.
He doesn't want any crabs, octopuses, nudibranchs or sea fish.
But Jiang Yan and the others were different. As long as they could eat and ask for it, they all picked it up in the bucket.
After picking for nearly two hours, Chen Xiaoyun found more than half of the bucket of sixty-year-old clams, white clams, and yellow clams.
The bucket is almost full!
"Let's go, it's time to go back, the tide is coming!" Chen Xiaoyun shouted loudly.
The ebb and flow of tides follow a time pattern.
Even when the tide recedes, it recedes fiercely, and when the tide rises, it grows fiercely.
It would be very dangerous if it was swept in by the tide.
The best time to catch the sea is within two hours after low tide. Generally, fishermen on the beach only rush to the sea within these two hours.
At this moment, people were already leaving one after another.
