Chapter 197: An Interesting Story of Catch the Sea
"Third uncle, I want to pry the oysters!"
Yan Yan patted the sand on her body and stretched out her arms to Shu Mingli very consciously.
The meaning is obvious: Come and hug me.
Shu Mingli looked around, finally selected a few large, slightly flat rocks, and carried several smaller ones over one after another.
Xiaotuanzi held the small stones picked up in advance, like a general about to go into battle to kill the enemy, and calmly commanded the three Qings and Yun Jinghe: "We have to squat down first, so as not to fall down.
Then we use stones to smash the shells of the oysters. When the shells are smashed, you can see the white meat. We just want the meat, take it home, wash it and make porridge to eat. It’s delicious!”
Qingbai couldn't hear the word "fragrance", and when he heard it, it was as if he had been given chicken blood. He picked up the stone and smashed it very vigorously.
Qing Feng was not so honest. His eyes turned like searchlights, and soon he discovered another good thing, "Sister, look! There is a black thorn ball there!"
Xiaotuanzi took a closer look, and his eyes widened twice in an instant, "It's a sea urchin, what a big sea urchin!"
Then he put down the stone and crawled on his hands and knees towards the direction where the sea urchins were.
Little Black Bean was two steps ahead of her, and with a flexible bounce, he jumped over the boulder in front of him, squeezed his head into the crack of the stone, and stretched out his tongue to pick up the sea urchin.
After Xiaoduanzi realized its purpose, he quickly reached out to stop it, but he was a step too late. The sharp spines on the sea urchin pierced Xiaoduanzi's tongue, causing him to circle around the stone in pain.
While spinning, he flicked his tongue wildly, up and down, left and right, drool flying everywhere, it was so stupid that people couldn't bear to look at it.
Shu Mingzhi came over after hearing the sound and checked its tongue. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he cursed "you idiot" and then leaned over to pick out the sea urchin.
"This thing is full of thorns, just like a hedgehog. Can it be eaten?"
Shu Mingzhi looked at the sea urchin's "baring teeth" appearance and began to doubt its value.
"It's edible!" Xiaotuanzi nodded frantically, "Pry open its shell, and it's full of sea urchin meat. It can be eaten raw, mixed with rice, steamed with eggs, made into dumplings...there are so many ways to eat it."
"Little greedy cat, it's useless no matter how many ways you eat it. Just one, and it's not enough to fill the gap between your teeth." Shu Mingzhi smiled and threw the sea urchin into the bamboo basket beside Xiaotuanzi. He turned his head and found that there was a crack in the stone next to him.
There are also several thorn balls hidden.
"Good guy, it looks like we can have a big meal again today!"
Shu Mingzhi rubbed his hands excitedly, rushed out with the basket, and picked it up along the cracks in the rocks. He screamed when the thorns pricked him and he was reluctant to let go.
Xiaotuanzi and Qingbai cheered him excitedly, while Qingsong, Qingfeng and Yunjinghe were attracted by the big crab with its teeth and claws in the crevices of the stone.
They had short arms and were afraid of being pinched by the crab, so they didn't dare to make a move. Just as the big crab was about to crawl away, the little black bean suddenly stepped forward and held the crab down with a claw.
"Wow, you are so awesome!"
Yun Jinghe was shocked, and looked at Xiao Heidou with shining eyes, full of admiration.
At this time Qing Feng screamed again: "Wow wow wow! There is a fish hidden here, a small yellow croaker, the kind we eat!"
When the little black bean hears it, fish? It likes to catch fish the most!
So he jumped over majestically with his tail swung, but when he landed, he couldn't stand firm and stumbled over, but this kind of small scene can't embarrass Brother Dou.
It pushed its front paws into the water a few times, then, looking at the right moment, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit the little yellow croaker's head.
"Wow, I caught it, I really caught it!"
Jinghe clapped excitedly, the admiration in his eyes almost overflowing.
Faced with the compliment from Little Carrot Ding, Little Black Bean was so proud that he prepared to bark a few times in response, but when he opened his mouth, the fish slipped away from his teeth again.
It slipped very fast, and in the blink of an eye it swam deep into the crevices of the rocks. No matter how much the little black bean stuck out its tongue or sucked it out, it could not get it out.
Ms. Lin, who was watching from the side, couldn't stop laughing, "Hahaha, how can this dog be so stupid and capable at the same time? It's so funny!"
"Stupid and capable..." Xu Ning repeated, and also laughed, "I thought this dog was very interesting when I first saw it. It was so interesting that I didn't know how to describe it. I finally found the right word today!
"
Call it stupid, it can understand people's words, it can catch fish, it can act coquettishly to please, it is extremely smart.
You can say it can, but it always does stupid things that make people laugh. For example, if you can't catch that fish now, you won't catch it. What do you mean by scratching the air there?
Therefore, the word "stupid and capable" is tailor-made for it!

Happy time is always short.
Yan Yan felt that the tide was about to rise before she even smashed a few oysters.
The group had no choice but to collect the loot and embark on the return journey.
Today's harvest is much smaller than last time when the tide receded, but all I got were good things.
There were about twenty oversized tapes, half a basket of sea urchins, five or six beautiful starfish, and the highlight was conches and oysters, each in two large baskets.
Lin saw too many things and was afraid that everyone would not be able to carry them, so he suggested sending someone home to drive the donkey cart.
As soon as he said the words, Shu Mingli smiled, "I can carry this thing home alone, so there is no need to drive!"
As he spoke, he put the stinging sea urchin aside and poured all the conch straps and the like into the sacks, no more and no less, filling exactly two sacks.
Xu Ning was afraid that he would be tired, so she tried to help him share a bag, but Shu Mingli refused, and the two of them started grabbing it again.
Shu Mingzhi shook his head and sighed, "It's coming again, it's coming again, why don't you two grab it for your itchy hands someday?"
Seeing so many people waiting for them, Xu Ning felt embarrassed and took the initiative to let go, "Forget it, you can carry it if you like."
There was a sudden loss of strength on this side, but Shu Mingli was still exerting his strength on the other side. After making a sound, he staggered and squatted on the ground. By coincidence, he happened to sit on the bamboo basket holding sea urchins.
This time, it can be said that the buttocks are blooming and it is extremely sour.
It hurt so much that Shu Mingli covered his buttocks and rolled on the ground, screaming.
Xu Ning helped him pull out the thorns on his butt with trembling hands, and asked carefully: "How about... I carry you back?"
Shu Mingli gritted his teeth and shook his head, "No, I don't feel pain, I can walk!"
Shu Mingzhi suppressed his laughter until his face was deformed, "Third brother, come on, I'll help you go home, be careful, don't hit your butt..."
It was already afternoon when a group of people returned home after going through hardships. Mrs. Shu and others had not returned yet, so they were the only ones left at home.
Yan Yan suddenly became the head of the family and warmly invited Lin to stay for dinner, "Auntie, can we have sea urchin fried rice for lunch? We can eat other delicious food when grandma comes back in the evening."
Mrs. Lin looked at her innocent and cute smiling face, and finally couldn't control her hand after holding it for a long time. She stretched out her hand and rubbed it. Well, it was so soft.
"Auntie Yanyan eats whatever she wants. Auntie doesn't choose."
"Okay, then I'm going to steam the rice!" Xiaotuanzi ran into the kitchen. She originally wanted to cook a big meal with her own hands, but when she looked at the rice vat that was taller than her, she gave up the idea and could only go out to find Xu.
