Chapter 426 Fishing in a Puddle 2
Chapter 426 Fishing in a Puddle 2
Chen Zhiyao originally wanted to go directly to the bottom of the puddle.
Unexpectedly, when she passed by a low-lying area, her eyes were attracted by a stone.
Several plump abalones were tightly attached to the surface of the stone.
Hidden in the cracks under the rocks was a black sea bream weighing nearly two kilograms and several lively stone bass.
Chen Zhiyao was very excited to see so many good things.
Then, without hesitation, she reached out and lifted the stone in front of her.
The next second, the fish hiding under the rocks were frightened and began to swing their tails frantically, trying to escape from this suddenly exposed dangerous place.
However, the water here had long been pumped dry, and the fish were unable to swim at all and could only struggle in place and burrow into the mud and sand.
Looking at these trapped little fish, although Chen Zhiyao felt very sorry in her heart, her hands moved very quickly.
After a while, those naughty little fish fell into the bucket at her feet one after another.
When she reached the bottom of the puddle, most of the big guys in the puddle had been caught by her father.
Seeing his daughter coming late, Chen Weiqiang couldn't help but complain:
"By the time you got here, all the fish had run away."
"Don't we still have you? With my father's ability, no fish can escape."
"You know the stuff."
Chen Zhiyao's little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she immediately coaxed Chen Weiqiang into submission.
She turned her gaze to the huge bucket at her father's feet and was immediately surprised.
There were several large bass weighing six or seven pounds lying in the bucket.
Not only that, there was also a large green snapper weighing about 10 kilograms and two cuttlefish weighing more than one kilogram in the bucket.
Chen Zhiyao stared at the big blue shirt worth several thousand dollars, thinking sourly in her heart, why didn't she catch it?
If I had known this, I would have come here earlier. It would have been so cool if I could catch this big guy with my own hands.
At this moment, Chen Weiqiang suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I finally caught you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up from the puddle excitedly, and grabbed a huge eel as thick as his arm with his hands like iron pliers.
This flower eel is slightly inferior to the one Chen Zhiyao had previously caught on the high seas.
But it weighed at least 11 or 12 kilograms and was over one meter long. Its powerful tail was swinging desperately in the air, trying its best to break free from Chen Weiqiang's restraints.
Seeing that the eel was struggling so hard, Chen Zhiyao quickly handed over the bucket in her hand:
"Dad, hurry up, put it in the bucket, don't let it escape."
If such a big conger eel ran away, her father’s thigh would probably be swollen from being beaten.
"Don't worry, you definitely can't run away."
Chen Weiqiang bared his teeth and happily put the struggling giant eel into the bucket, then quickly covered it with something.
"There's absolutely no way you can run away now."
Seeing that the giant eel was settled, Chen Zhiyao finally had the mind to look at the large puddle under her feet.
The big fish are gone, but there are still a lot of small fish below.
These little guys huddled together pitifully, wagging their tails angrily in the water, making the water very turbid.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly jumped out of the water. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small silver-white sea wolf.
It drew a graceful arc in the air and then quickly fell back into the water, splashing a dirty splash.
The little sea wolf seemed to be frightened. It dived into a nearby crevice at an extremely fast speed and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Chen Zhiyao quickly walked to the crevice, stretched out her hands and gently moved the two troublesome stones away.
As the stones were removed, the fish hidden behind them gradually emerged.
There are quite a variety of species, including big white pomfret, bluefin bream, yellowtail fish, greenfin fish and black sea bream.
Soon, all these delicious little guys were caught by Chen Zhiyao.
After all the fish in sight were caught, the father and daughter did not stop, but turned their attention to the strange-shaped stones.
Chen Zhiyao bent down, exerted force on the muscles in her arms, and easily lifted up a stone weighing dozens of kilograms.
At the bottom of the stone, there were several brightly colored snails and a moss-covered conch.
As the stones were turned over one by one, the various small seafood hidden underneath gradually appeared before our eyes.
Various conches clinging to the surface of the rocks, panicked sea eels trying to escape, plump sea urchins that look like hedgehogs...
There is also a domineering big crab, waving its claws, feeling very dissatisfied about the invasion of its territory.
In just 10 minutes, the bucket in Chen Zhiyao's hand was filled with these gifts from the sea.
After changing to a new bucket, she came to a small puddle a little bit above the bottom of the pit.
Looking down, I saw two trapped dog sharks inside.
One of them was a bit large, weighing more than two kilograms, while the other was relatively small, weighing only about one kilogram.
Chen Zhiyao quickly caught these two energetic dog sharks and felt that her luck was really good today.
She continued to look to the side, and unexpectedly saw a big bass weighing five or six pounds hiding in a crevice.
The fish was quite big, but the crevice was too small, so it could only barely hide half of its body, with its thick tail still sticking out.
"Hahaha, you are just trying to cover up your mistake. Do you think I can't see you by hiding here?"
Chen Zhiyao walked over happily and pulled the guy out from the crevice.
Only then did she discover that behind the sea bass there was actually a huge coconut snail.
This coconut snail is quite big and feels heavy in the hand.
Chen Zhiyao made a rough estimate and found that it was about two kilograms and could be sold for several hundred yuan.
She took the coconut snail in her hand closer with great anticipation and looked at it carefully.
Unfortunately, she looked for a long time but couldn't find Melo Pearl.
Chen Zhiyao sighed softly, but quickly cheered up. After all, today's harvest was quite good.
This large puddle of nearly 10 square meters yielded several buckets of fish.
The most valuable ones are the 10-jin big green eel and the 12-jin giant flower eel.
In addition, the prices of coconut snails, conches, blue crabs and red flower crabs are not cheap either, and the total value is at least more than 1 yuan.
The catch was a bumper harvest, and the father and daughter had to carry the valuable catches up several times.
At this time, Grandpa Chen and his two companions had also completely cleaned out the larger puddle nearby.
Compared to the father and daughter, there are not so many good things over there.
Apart from two tiger prawns weighing about half a pound and a zebra mantis shrimp weighing more than a pound, the rest were some common marine fish and conchs.
If the price isn't enough, the quantity will make up for it, and the total value should be at least a few thousand dollars.
The trip to the sea was quite rewarding. If we hadn't brought a few carts, it would have been difficult to transport away all the heavy fish.
