Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

As the sea gradually receded, Xu Huizhen also joined the crowd of people going to the beach. It didn't matter how much they harvested, what mattered was participation. Feng Hui followed her attentively, providing technical guidance.

"Sister Huizhen, dig here. There must be a big thing underneath." Xu Huizhen followed Feng Hui's suggestion and dug down with a shovel, but found nothing.

"Sister Huizhen, you have to dig diagonally, dig in this direction, this is a clam hole." Xu Huizhen was ordered around in a panic, and finally dug out a big clam. She picked it up happily and said, "It's so big! Did I also dig up the king of clams?"

Feng Hui smiled, but she didn't have the heart to criticize Xu Huizhen. They had seen many clams bigger than this one.

Xu Huizhen discovered that after the tide receded, some reefs were covered with a kind of purple seaweed. She asked Feng Hui: "Is this the legendary laver?"

Feng Hui replied: "Yes, this is seaweed."

In her previous life, when she drank seaweed soup for the first time, she didn't like it at all. It was watery and had a fishy smell. Later, she got used to it and liked it. The most important thing was that it was economical and nutritious. I wonder if this dish can be added to the cafeteria? Make a big pot every day at noon. It's cheap and can also help the stomach and help digestion.

Thinking of this, she shouted loudly: "I want this seaweed too. I see there is plenty of it on the reef. Everyone can go pick it up!"

Then Da Wenzi retorted, "When dried by the sun, seaweed becomes as light as a piece of paper. How much seaweed does it take to make up a pound? If you have the time, you might as well pick up more conches. They come in shells and add more weight."

It was said that rural children were pure, kind, honest and simple, but why was this child not that type? Xu Huizhen smiled and teased: "You are a child of honeycomb coal, right? You have so many tricks?"

Da Wenzi: "Big sister, what is honeycomb briquettes? I have never eaten them, but I have eaten strawberries."

Xu Huizhen was so angry that she almost laughed. What the hell was going on? They were totally on different wavelengths. She said helplessly, "Okay, do whatever you want."

It was Feng Hui who supported her. She said, "Sister, I'll help you pick seaweed. Brother Wenzi is a foodie and wants to exchange for a few more candies."

Xu Huizhen: "Thank you, Xiaohui. When you leave, I will leave some more candy for you instead of your brother and the others."

Feng Hui's eyes curved with joy and she nodded rapidly: "Yes, Sister Huizhen, you are so nice!"

When the children saw a small hole on the beach, they started digging and digging. When they saw a bulging sandbag, they started grabbing and grabbing.

The younger children were unable to do heavy work, so they would just circle around on the beach and step on the sand hard. Due to the lack of water in the sand, the clams hidden underneath would float up by themselves, and the children would pick up the big ones and put them in buckets.

The bucket is filled with water. The sand clams can stay fresh in the water, prolonging their lives, and can also spit out the sand in their stomachs so that they don't hurt their teeth when eaten.

The soup of sand clams is very delicious. Boil it in water and add some sesame oil and coriander to make a delicious dish. The soup can be used to make noodles and dumpling soup, which are both very delicious.

Sand clams are different from other shellfish. They will die soon after leaving water. It is not a big deal in winter, but in the high temperature environment of summer, they will rot and deteriorate within a few hours after death, and people nicknamed them "stinky out of water".

Can this kind of seafood be sold? Fortunately, she has a space artifact in her hand, which can solve these problems.

Some children followed the rhythm of the waves, picking up the conches and oysters stranded on the beach. Some took shovels and pried oysters from the rocks. Everyone was an expert at catching oysters.

Whenever someone caught a big one, they would make a big fuss, causing their companions to cheer and jump for joy. The whole beach was bustling with activity.

Erwen found a big crab that had crawled into a crack in the rock. He shouted for help: "Brother, come and help me move the rocks. There's a big one underneath."

Da Wen responded, "I'm here, watch me." The two brothers worked together to move the big rock, revealing a large blue crab with bared teeth and claws, which was quickly caught by Er Wen.

In short, there are four secrets to catching seafood at the seaside: step on, pick up, pry and pan. These children living by the sea are well versed in this. They are better than Xu Huizhen, a novice. Razor clams, conchs, mud snails, clams and other seafood are collected in the basket one after another.

When the sea water rose again, Xu Hui was dumbfounded when she counted the harvest today. She had underestimated the fighting power of these children. Each child had harvested a lot. Some families with several children came over with baskets and buckets, weighing about 70 to 80 kilograms.

She only carried a bag, how much candy could it hold. There was candy in the space, but she couldn't blatantly cheat and take it out. If these little people found out, it would be bad.

So she shouted at the top of her voice: "Everyone, pay attention. I'm going to explain. Because the children are so capable, I don't have enough candy. How about this, everyone gets six pieces of candy, and I can exchange the remaining seafood for money or food coupons. If anyone just wants candy, then keep a record first. When I go back, I will send the candy to Feng Hui's house and let Feng Hui distribute it to you. What do you think?"

Da Wenzi was the first to say, "I want candy. The seafood I caught today can be exchanged for dozens of candies. From now on, I will eat one piece every day until I finish it. Those days will be beautiful just thinking about it."

Some children also said: "I want six pieces of candy, and the rest I want food stamps."

After a long discussion, they started collecting the seafood. Feng Hui was in charge of checking the quality, and asked Da Wenzi and an older girl to weigh the seafood. Xu Huizhen kept the accounts and paid for the seafood.

Feng Hui: "The water has been drained clean, I won't collect it. If anyone is not self-aware, I won't collect his seafood, and next time there is such a good thing, I won't call him."

The children obediently shook their baskets to try to drain the water. They lined up consciously and stared at the candy in Xu Huizhen's hand. Everyone's eyes were frighteningly bright.
