Soon, the boat, driven by three people, arrived at the small island reef in the middle of Qinglong Bend.
"This island reef is too small. If the tide rises, it will be completely dark." Chen Qingsheng said in surprise.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "It's actually high tide now. When the tide goes out, this island will actually be quite large."
Xiang Yang had been to this island many years ago.
At that time, Xiang Yang came with his father. There were a lot of red crabs on the island, but they were all very small.
"Let's find a place with shallower water and go up to take a look," said Fang Youqun.
Xiang Yang nodded.
Chen Qingsheng drove the fishing boat around the island slowly, and finally chose a location where the water was relatively deep, and drove the boat to the edge of the island. In this way, the three of them didn't have to go into the water, they could just step directly from the boat to the island.
The three of them jumped from the boat to the island one after another.
This island is really small, with a diameter of less than ten meters, not even as big as a basketball court, and it is covered with bare rocks without any plants at all.
Xiang Yang climbed to a higher position and then looked into the distance leisurely.
Not to mention, being in an environment surrounded by sea water but with land under your feet really feels different from being on a boat. Xiang Yang can take in the surrounding sea views and enjoy this dreamlike beauty to his heart's content.
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming!
This word popped into Xiang Yang's mind.
Fang Youqun didn't have such leisure time. He found a relatively stable reef and lay down on it. "Oh, I'm so tired. I really want to take a nap here!"
"This place is not very far from the shore, but the sea water is more than ten times clearer than the shore. At first glance, the sea water is as blue as the ones painted in books." Xiang Yang said.
Fang Youqun below had already taken off his shoes and was about to take off his socks. He stuck his feet into the sea and then swayed with the waves.
"Be careful, or you will be swept away by the waves." Chen Qingsheng shouted.
Fang Youqun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the waves that can sweep me away haven't... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit by a huge wave and his calf hit the reef. Fortunately, the surface of the reef had become very smooth after being beaten by the waves for endless years, otherwise, he would have been severely beaten.
Fang Youqun was a guy who only remembered the food and not the beating. The foot that was hit retracted from the sea, but the other foot was still in the sea, continuing to sway with the waves.
"Fang Youqun, be careful and don't stay near the reef." Xiang Yang couldn't help but shout at him.
As if in response to Xiang Yang's words, as soon as Xiang Yang finished speaking, a huge wave hit the reef from the other direction of the reef, and then raised a splash of water more than one person high, scaring Fang Youqun so much that he quickly retracted his feet.
"My goodness, why are the waves here so big? If I was hit by that wave just now, wouldn't my leg be broken?" Fang Youqun exclaimed.
"This kind of waves are not that big. You can try it in the evening, and you will be smashed to pieces." Chen Qingsheng threatened.
Fang Youqun just laughed. He also grew up by the sea and had experienced real winds and waves. He was not scared of them.
"The tide is receding, so the waves are a bit big. Let's wait here and see if there are some valuable seafood left on the beach after the tide goes out." Xiang Yang said.
Sure enough, the water level quickly dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sandy beach under the reef was exposed.
"The sand is so fine." Fang Youqun walked barefoot on the beach, searching the entire beach for any living creatures left on the beach after the tide receded.
At this time, a white line appeared in the distance, approaching like a galloping horse, and soon hit the beach quickly.
Fang Youqun was hit by the waves and fell directly on the beach, with his clothes soaked.
Fortunately, there are no reefs in this area, otherwise I would definitely be injured if I was hit by the reefs.
"Pah, pah." Fang Youqun struggled to stand up from the waves, "Did I provoke this crappy wave?"
Xiang Yang laughed, rolled up his trouser legs, and jumped directly onto the beach.
"There are a lot of conchs, but unfortunately they are not valuable." Chen Qingsheng bent down and picked up a few conchs that were slightly smaller than his fist, and then was about to throw them into the ocean.
"Wait." Xiang Yang stopped him quickly.
"What's wrong, boss?" Chen Qingsheng said in confusion.
Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng oddly, "Don't you know this kind of snail?"
"There are so many kinds of snails on the seashore, how can I know them all? Besides, whether I was in the previous fleet or the current fleet, I only fished and didn't pick up snails," said Chen Qingsheng.
Xiang Yang nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is. If you had picked up snails before, you wouldn't have lost this one."
Chen Qingsheng saw the beach was full of these conchs and wondered, "Are these conchs valuable?"
That’s not possible. Isn’t it said that things are valuable because they are rare
This kind of snail doesn't seem to be very rare.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "It's not really expensive, but the snails taste really good. They're perfect for us to pick up and eat ourselves."
"The resources in the ocean are very rich, with a variety of seafood. The most popular ones are fish and shellfish. You can often see various kinds of conchs on the beach."
"There are so many types of conchs. Even people living on the coast may not be able to name some of them because there are so many types. But there are some snails that you must know. Otherwise, if we meet other fleets in the future, they will laugh at us." Xiang Yang said.
"Is this snail one of the things you must know?" Chen Qingsheng asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yang nodded, "This is one of the most common types of delicious conch. Today I will introduce to you two some delicious and common types of conch at the seaside. Generally, anyone who knows the business will drool when thinking of these types of conch, because they taste so delicious."
Fang Youqun scratched his head and said, "I don't like eating conchs. I only eat the best-looking ones."
Xiang Yang said: "That's because you don't understand."
Many people who don’t know much about conchs, when they arrive at the beach, because there are so many types of conchs, their habit of eating conchs is the same as Fang Youqun’s. They only pick out the good-looking ones and miss out on so many delicious foods.
A typical foodie would only eat a few types of conch, including the one Chen Qingsheng is holding. People who know what they are eating, like Xiang Yang, don't eat those fancy-looking conchs. (To be continued)
