Although "Full Moon Sea" and "Xinghuo Bay" are only separated by a flint mountain with flying rocks and cliffs, the scene here is very different.
The "Full Moon Sea" in the morning light is not only flat, but the vast sea surface is also calm. There are also a lot of burned firewood ash and "sea oyster", "sea red" and "scallop" shells on the shore.
, and there are several burning bonfires scattered at different locations on the coast.
After arriving here at five o'clock in the morning, "Old Saury" used the scene in front of him to teach Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan a common sense lesson about the beach.
He said that the Liaodong Peninsula has a winding coastline and countless large and small bays, but not every bay may have products. Due to differences in geology, each bay also has its own specialties.
For example, bays with lots of fine sand have many sea cucumbers. Bays with lots of turmeric stones have many conchs. Bays with lots of granite have many scallops. At this time of year, the sea cucumbers have retreated into the deep sea, so bays with turmeric stones and granite have become
A treasure land.
And here is the granite bay. Because of the calm wind and calm waves, it has become the favorite place for "sea bumpers" to gather together. There are many "strong" and shallow "sea bumpers" and "accurate" for beginners.
"Hai Bangzi" are all regulars here.
Like those burning bonfires, people who have been to the sea are warming themselves up by the fire. There are roughly three or four people in each bonfire. In addition, it is not difficult to tell from the ashes how many people have visited this beach.
Generally speaking, a "sea bumper" is enough to sweep an area as big as a football field, so it can be judged that the "sea bumper" has been trapped here. There will never be too many things in the shallow sea area.
, so there is some hope in the deep sea area.
For this reason, he specially reminded Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan that when they go to any beach in the future, they must first observe the surroundings to see how many burned ash piles there are. As long as they make a rough calculation, they can basically determine whether to give up.
There it is.
This is the experience of "Old Saury". After hearing this, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan nodded in agreement.
In fact, they all knew each other very well that "Old Saury" brought them here not to make any money, but mainly to give them a real deep-water practical lesson in a relatively safe sea area.
.Only after experiencing today's deep water area can they be regarded as "sea crashers" in the true sense.
Therefore, they were not at all like other "sea bumpers" who had just arrived here. Once they discovered that there were too many competitors, they became depressed, but they still made serious preparations for entering the water.
With their concerted efforts, they quickly picked up a lot of firewood sticks, and the things they brought were gradually placed in place. Shortly after the sun rose, the "dry tide bottom" (jargon term) was completely ushered in.
, refers to the maximum low tide), a new large firewood pile has been erected on the beach.
At this time, some unfamiliar "sea bumpers" recognized the figure of "Old Knife" through the increasingly bright morning light, and some people took the initiative to approach and talk to them and say hello.
Faced with this situation, "Old Swordfish" had specially warned in advance. He said that the sea is common to everyone and is also the source of livelihood for all "Hai Bangzi". So don't look at the "Hai Bangzi" when they see the sea underwater.
Everyone is jealous and cruel, but no one can dominate territory as arrogantly as the lions on the African grasslands.
Under normal circumstances, even if dozens of strangers gather in a bay, they will coexist peacefully. Their competition and struggle have always relied solely on their ability to "touch the sea" to determine the outcome.
But the only exception is targeting foreigners. Because locals everywhere have a "xenophobic" mentality and a "territorial" awareness of local resources. If someone discovers that Hong Yanwu and others are from the capital,
I'm afraid it will still cause some disputes about right and wrong.
So at this moment, Hong Yanwu and the others all pretended to be mute and kept silent, allowing "Old Saury" to come forward to deal with everything.
In this way, these strangers were finally left without incident. However, during this process, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan felt very uncomfortable.
For no other reason, the main reason is that these young guys don't respect "Old Saury" very much. They all speak frivolously, and they all like to use "Old Saury" to play cymbals, and they like to use contemptuous and sarcastic tone to play some indifferent music.
It’s a joke. So while Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan watched indifferently, they both looked resentful and couldn’t help but gear up.
As for the "Old Swordfish" himself, he seems to have been used to this. Of course he can see that these guys from the capital are complaining about him, and he is grateful from the bottom of his heart. But now the "Hai Bangzi" only knows how to fish out
It is normal for overseas goods to not recognize their seniority. He did not want to cause unnecessary disputes, so he did not show any sullenness or intention to pursue them. He even used his eyes to stop Hong Yanwu and the others from expressing their feelings towards these people.
Out of hostility.
And once these people left, he only said, "Those boys are just third-rate people, don't bother with them." Even if the matter was over, he then began to urge Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to follow him.
Get into the water.
Seeing the attitude of "Old Saury", Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still a little angry, but it was hard to say anything else. Besides, time was precious, and the longer the delay, the higher the water level would be, so they quickly took off their clothes and followed "Old Saury"
We swam to the depths of the sea together, leaving only "Xiaobaizi" on the shore to provide logistical support for everyone.
The water here is extremely clear, and you can almost see the bottom of the shallow water of the "Full Moon Sea" at a glance.
Hong Yanwu and the others swam along and found that, as "Old Swordfish" had just said, the bottom of the sea was as clean as if they had passed through a grate.
Not only were the abalone, conch, and scallops completely gone, but there were also not many left of the "thorn pot", "sea red" and "sea oyster" that the "sea bumpers" simply looked down upon.
They didn't stop until they reached an area where they couldn't see the bottom of the sea at all, which was sixty or seventy meters away from the coast.
At this time, "Old Swordfish" first explored the depth of the seabed alone and found that it was about eight (nine) meters in "Wu Tuo Water", and he felt confident. When he returned to the sea, he began to give Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan
Introduce the habits and fishing methods of scallops.
He said that scallops are the most intolerant to heat. In summer and autumn, they go to deep water to escape the heat. It is not until the water gets cold in winter that the scallops move back to shallow water.
The way the scallop moves in the water is almost like "flying". When it needs to "move", it will resolutely and proactively break the connection with the reef, and then it will stretch out the two scallop shells and forcefully move
It holds water and drains the water by closing it one by one. And with the help of the strong recoil force generated by this, it finally achieves erratic "flying".
As for how to catch scallops, it has become extremely simple.
Since the scallops in this season are moved to a new place and are not firmly connected to the reef foundation, usually, the scallops can fall off with just a gentle pull. Sometimes, the landing point of the scallops is not very accurate, and they often do not land on the reef, but on the reef.
If it falls on the sandy ground among the rocks, you can easily pick it up with your hands.
Therefore, there is no practical difficulty in catching scallops. It can basically be done with just one hand, and there is no need to use any special tools. The only key to a good harvest lies in one's ability to move in deep water and find underwater reefs.
ability.
Of course, "Old Saury" was full of confidence in the diving abilities of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, so he did not mention the "luck" skills. The only thing he solemnly warned them about diving was a few precautions to ensure safety on the seabed.
First, when people touch the sea, they must have a sense of scale, not be greedy for money, know how to make choices, and correctly weigh risks.
For example, if there is a reef cave that is too dangerous, don't rush to drill it. If there are currents or deep water areas too far away from the shore, don't risk your life. No matter how thick the cargo is, you must be willing to give up when it's time to give up.
Secondly, you should be careful when diving in unfamiliar waters and don’t be reckless.
For the sake of safety, wherever the water depth is complicated, try to dive to the bottom in two or three times in order to find out the situation on the bottom of the sea. Because although Hong Yanwu and the others are not afraid of being scratched by shells, there are still dangers of being entangled in seaweed and hitting their heads on rocks.
Risks. There are not a few "sea collisions" that lead to death due to these two accidents from ancient times to the present.
Third, always remember that there are two worlds above and below the water. The deep water area is different from the shallow water area. There is not only the biting cold below, but also the unbearable pressure.
Once you dive below five or six meters, you will start to suffer. When you reach eight (nine) meters, you will be squeezed by the pressure and become extremely painful. And your final diving limit is basically around 20 meters. Once it reaches
At this depth, the pressure will increase by two atmospheres. Even if you can dive further, it will be useless. Not only will the water mirror glass be crushed, but people will also suffer from "diving disease."
In addition, precisely because of the existence of underwater pressure, two unexpected situations are likely to occur. The first is water leakage from the water mirror, and the second is nasal bleeding.
But no matter what kind of situation you encounter, you cannot take off the water goggle at that time. You must hold your breath and surface quickly. This is because the pressure under the water is high, and it is easier to choke without the water goggle.
Especially for nasal bleeding, the scene may be very scary, and the water mirror will often turn red, making it difficult to see anything clearly. But in fact, there is no need to worry, because it is just a level that beginners must go through.
Everyone in this industry knows that every time a "sea bumper" touches deep water, his nose will be broken once, but it will never be broken again. This is like taking a diploma, once and for all.
Therefore, if you really have a broken nose, just go to the sea, take off the goggles, wash it, and flush your nose. There will never be any serious consequences.
After talking about diving, "Old Swordfish" finally talked about how to quickly find underwater reefs.
In fact, this issue has always been the biggest headache for "sea bumpers". Because without reefs, there would be no marine products. The reason why "sea bumpers" like reefs and are not afraid of them is because there are goods in the reefs.
However, in a strange bay, if a person keeps burying his head in the water to search, his eyes will soon have hallucinations, as if he feels that there are reefs all around. At this time, if a person plunges in suddenly, he can only see
An empty beach will make people feel depressed for a long time.
You know, "Hui Bangzi" is most afraid of hitting "Kong Mengzi", because people rely entirely on their mental strength. If there is something under the water, "Hai Bangzi" will work harder and harder, and he will be in high spirits no matter how tired he is.
But if you have to hit three "Kong Mengzi" in succession, you will feel that your energy for the whole day will be used up.
However, "Old Saury" is "Old Saury" after all, and he actually has his own unique know-how in this matter.
He smiled mysteriously, and then told Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan something very proudly.
"If you are going to dive on a beach where you have never dived before, don't use your eyes to find the reef, you must use... your ears!"
