Li Xiao dug very quickly, but instead of digging directly on the raised bulge, he dug out a large circle of sand around the outside.
In some unclear live broadcasts, the audience asked in confusion.
"Why didn't the anchor just dig on top of that sandbag? What's going on with all this digging?"
"I suspect that the anchor is thinking too much. He probably thinks that the thing hidden underneath is huge."
"No way, it's as big as two hands."
Although Li Xiao was digging in the sand with both hands, the screen of his phone was lying face up on the beach. He looked at the questions on the barrage and explained.
"The reason why I have to dig such a circle around the bulge is because many seafood left on the beach due to the tide still have the ability to escape. If I dig directly on the bulge or holes, these still moving seafood will escape.
Escape deeper into the sand."
"So when you encounter these bulges on the beach, the best way is to dig in from the outside. By the time these seafood are aware of it, they will no longer be able to escape from the sand."
Li Xiao grabbed the handle of the shovel with both hands and dug out the sand quickly. The circle of sand was completely dug up by it, leaving only a cone-shaped pile of sand in the middle of the sand pit.
He glanced at the screen in the live broadcast room to make sure he was not blocking the camera before speaking.
"Okay, the last tense moment has arrived. We dug the sand for more than 5 minutes. Now let's see what kind of Pokémon we got."
After hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone who was originally drowsy finally cheered up.
Li Xiao quickly dug away the sand layer by layer from the original bulge, and soon a round shell appeared in everyone's sight.
In fact, the moment the shell was exposed from the sand, he could tell what it was.
Cat's eye snail, a shellfish very common on the beach.
He smiled and held the cat's eye snail, which was only half the size of a palm, in his hand.
You just need to walk towards the sea and say to the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Okay, the handicap is over. The answer this time is [D: Cat's Eye Snail]."
"Congratulations to those viewers who got the answer right, but those who got it wrong don't need to be discouraged."
"After this morning's live broadcast in Hong Kong and Hainan, I will make all the proceeds into a lucky red envelope. At that time, there will be as many copies of this red envelope as there are viewers in the live broadcast room, so everyone can participate enthusiastically."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ended this round of handicap.
The income was considerable, more than 20,000 cat claws, which translates into more than 10,000 yuan in just a few minutes today.
Go to the water's edge and wash all the sand off the cat's eye snail.
There is a big difference between cat's eye snails and other shellfish. Other shellfish like to curl up their bodies inside the shells. They only extend their fragile bodies outside the shells when they are on the road or hunting for food.
The cat's-eye snail is different. It likes to expose most of its body tissues directly outside the shell.
However, this does not mean that cat's-eye snails have more meat than other shellfish. The reason for this is mainly because the meat quality of cat-eye snails is relatively special.
Its meat will be more hydrated because the habits of this cat's eye snail are rather strange.
Compared to sea water, they prefer land that is incompatible with them.
Other seafood is accidentally left on the beach and rocky beaches, but they are different. They stay on the beach deliberately and do not want to leave.
However, this special hobby does not allow them to ignore the differences between marine plants and land plants.
So whenever they are in sea water, their bodies will try to absorb as much water as possible.
In this way, when they stay on the beach or rocky beach, there will be enough water to cope with the evaporation after low tide.
Li Xiao wants to hold the cleaned cat's eye snail in front of the camera.
"Look, everyone, this is our first trophy."
Many people in the live broadcast room gasped
"This fist-sized conch actually has so much meat, it's so awesome."
"The meat of this conch is bigger than its shell. How do you retract it when you are in danger?"
"The meat is white and shiny, and you can tell it's delicious just by looking at it."
"Anchor, don't say anything else, just eat it first."
.....
Looking at the speech in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao smiled and did not continue to tease everyone. Everyone opened their mouths to explain.
"Actually, the meat on the outside of this cat's eye snail looks like a lot, but it's not."
After saying that, he didn't show off, and directly pinched the white flesh of the cat's eye snail with his fingers.
The feeling of sinking your fingers into the moist flesh is very wonderful.
With the squeezing of his fingers, the seawater stored in the conch meat immediately spurted out from the gaps between his fingers.
The snail meat loses the support of this moisture and quickly shrinks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Watching the snail meat that was originally bigger than his fist shrink instantly, until the snail meat completely retracted into his shell.
"Good guy, is this the legendary bluff?"
"This is obviously a fake dog!"
"The pretending and bluffing upstairs mean the same thing."
"is that so?"
"But this snail meat is too unruly, there is so much water."
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about upstairs? Who told you that drinking too much water is not serious?"
"You can tell he's a brat right away."
...........
Li Xiaozai gave a reminder in the live broadcast room.
"So when you buy this kind of cat's-eye snail in the future, you must pay attention to squeezing out the water from it, otherwise it will be uneconomical to buy a barrel of seawater at the price of the cat's-eye snail."
He casually threw the cat's-eye snail that had no water in it into the bucket. It could be regarded as his first trophy. Although the taste of the cat's-eye snail was nothing special, the meat was quite good, not as strong as other snails.
It tastes soft and waxy, like eating rice cakes.
You continue walking towards the rocky beach and encounter two more similar bulges on the road. He didn't let them go and opened the handicap twice more.
A horse-faced crab and another cat's-eye snail were dug out respectively.
However, the horse noodles were too small, only as big as two fingers, and there was no edible meat except the shell.
Li Xiao threw it back into the sea. After all, it seemed a bit inhumane to just throw it on the beach and let him die of exposure.
He smiled and said to the live broadcast room
"We should respect food. There is no need to deliberately waste food that cannot be eaten. Just like what I did just now, run two more steps and throw it back into the sea. Maybe he will come back to me to repay his kindness when he grows up.
By then it will be as big as a basin, and it will probably be delicious."
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard Li Xiao's beginning, they thought he was going to promote his ideas again, but they didn't expect that the conversation changed at the end.
"God, come back when you grow up to repay your kindness."
"It's so funny, I'm just that horse-faced crab. Host, you hit me so hard. Even if I grow up, I will definitely come to you not to repay a favor but to take revenge."
"Hey, call 110? Yes, I want to call the police. There is a horse-faced crab here that has become a spirit. Please send an adult from the Demon Slayer Department over here immediately to eliminate the demon."
Chatting with the audience while rushing on the road, it finally took more than half an hour to reach the destination. In fact, Li Xiao was walking quite fast.
After all, just three excavation operations wasted more than 20 minutes.
When he came to the stone beach, Li Xiao did not enter rashly, but stood there and observed it carefully.
After all, in horror novels, there must be some strange existence hidden in a rocky beach with strange rocks like this.
However, he quickly realized that what he was in was not some weird novel, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He smiled and said to the live broadcast room.
"After going through numerous difficulties and dangers, and ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, we finally arrived at our destination this time."
"Now let's start today's sea operation."
He glanced at the time in the live broadcast room and saw that it was almost 7:00. He thought for a while and said,
"This time our sea meeting will last for two hours and end at 9:00. There will be a live barbecue at that time. We sincerely welcome all viewers in the live broadcast room to come and participate in the barbecue morning party."
People in the live broadcast room complained about it
"Good guy, if I hadn't been watching the whole live broadcast, I would have thought that the host had gone to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures."
"God damn it, ninety-nine and eighty-one are difficult, it's really outrageous."
"This invitation from the host is quite insincere. If I had said it last night, I would have rushed there even if it was an early morning flight."
"Yes, the anchor has two hours left before inviting everyone over for barbecue. Isn't that too insincere?"
"This guy is just teasing, haven't you noticed yet?"
"If I didn't have to go to work today, I would definitely drive there right away. I am only two and a half hours away from the anchor's place. I think I can catch up. Unfortunately, if I miss work for one day, my salary will be tripled and more than 3,000 yuan will be deducted. I can have a barbecue."
