“Why did you wake me up so early? We were busy until midnight. I still want to sleep a little longer.”
Yun Xi complained about Zhou Lin’s actions and rolled over again, unwilling to get up from her warm bed.
Yun Xi was very curious. They had been exercising together last night. Zhou Lin exercised a little more than her, but now that he was standing in front of the door in high spirits, she did not even have the strength to get up.
“Don’t be so lazy when you come out to play! If you go out now, you can still catch the sunrise, and you can follow the local fishermen for beachcombing.”
Beachcombing was to take advantage of the morning when the tide receded, leaving behind a lot of shellfish in the sea, and occasionally crabs and small fish. Many tourists would wake up early and come to the beach to look for seafood or beautiful shells as souvenirs.
“Let’s go! After this tide recedes, we’ll have to wait until the afternoon when the tide recedes again. When that time comes, the weather will be hot and sunny, so there won’t be such a good time!”
Zhou Lin said seductively while placing his cold hands on the back of Yun Xi to wake up the woman who was slacking on the bed.
“Alright, let’s go together!”
Yun Xi was a little tempted, but she was still conflicted. After all, the warm blanket was too comfortable, and she did not want to leave.
Feeling Zhou Lin’s cold hands sliding down, Yun Xi could only get up to avoid being pressed against the bed.
When she walked out of the room, she found that there were quite a lot of people by the sea.
Yun Xi also saw the family of three from yesterday. The lady was holding a small green plastic bucket, and she watched her husband and son dig all kinds of shellfish in the sand with a small shovel.
“What are the people doing over there?”
There were some dikes by the sea, and the dikes were full of people.
“They should be fishing for crabs!”
At this time, a kind-hearted big sister came over to interrupt. This big sister had a set of professional sea-driving equipment, plastic boots, a small sharp shovel, and a sunshade hat.
She should be a local!
“Are the crabs also fished out? I’ve only heard of fishing for fish, but I’ve never heard of fishing for crabs!” Yun Xi could be considered to have gained some knowledge.
Although they were all children from the countryside, they were still different from those near the sea.
“They are tied to a tough fishing line with a fresh pork bone and thrown into the cracks in the dam. The crabs in the cracks sniff the fragrance of pork and will be clamped onto the pork bone. The people above used this method to successfully fish these crabs out!”
“I see!” Yun Xi nodded as if she suddenly understood.
“It looks like you guys are tourists who came here to play! Seeing that you guys have hit it off today, I’ll share with you the things that I picked up today!”
The big sister brought over the bucket in her hand and poured some small crabs and shellfish into Yun Xi’s bucket.
“No need, no need!” Yun Xi quickly waved her hand.
“My family has been fishermen here for generations. I didn’t come here to eat. I just came out to relax because I’m old. The meat I picked up is all fat. I’ll give them to you tourists to taste.”
The big sister was especially warm-hearted. It was difficult for Yun Xi to refuse. In the end, she could only accept the big sister’s kindness.
“Do you know how to cook this seafood?”
Yun Xi looked at the small bucket filled with seafood and fell into deep thought. She had obtained this seafood, but it was difficult to turn them into delicious food.
Yun Xi did not like to eat these things. Occasionally, she would only eat them in the simplest way, boiling or steaming.
“Of course!” Zhou Lin nodded proudly.
He had been a special forces soldier for so many years and had experienced all kinds of extreme living conditions. Under special circumstances, anything could be eaten. An ant’s egg could also be considered a high-quality protein. When necessary, it had to be eaten.
However, even if it was obtained locally and ate whatever was available, people would always have desires. They would always think of making these things more delicious.
