Hong Tao did not return by boat, so he called all the children to the stern. Starting from Bozhu, he began to teach them how to control the sails, how to judge the wind direction based on the gauze strips on the top of the mast and the gauze strips on the sail surface, and the intensity of the sail eating. The small wooden boat left the ground and kept spinning around the island. Bozhu learned for a while, and then changed to Bojiao. It was a bit like going to a driving school to learn driving in later generations. This boat was a coach car.

Bo Zhu has a strong learning ability, and she will be able to operate the sails quickly, but she is not very accurate in mastering the wind strength of the sails, but it basically does not affect the operation. Bo Jiao is familiar with driving a boat with his grandfather, and learns very quickly. However, he is only 11 years old and has little strength. When lifting and lowering the sails, he has to stand up and play with his hands to pull the sail rope. Bo Yu and Bo shrimp are still young, and they have a little slow grasp of the sails, and they can't pull the two ropes. Hong Tao asked Bo Jiao to teach them step by step, without asking for help, they can operate independently immediately, and just understand it roughly.

"Do you like pearls?" When the children were about to noon, they were tired. Hong Tao simply put the boat down and started to think about other things to play with. Anyway, he couldn't be idle.

"Pearl! Grandpa doesn't let the pearls pick, it's easy to be entangled by seaweed!" Bo Zhu obviously understood what Hong Tao was going to do, so he quickly moved Bofu out again, trying to stop Hong Tao from taking risks.

"Don't worry, I'll go down and take a look. I can't die. Have you seen this big rat head on my back? It's our god, and can bless me with peace!" Hong Tao would not listen to others' advice. He took off his top and pants in a few seconds, leaving only a pair of underwear, and a logo embroidered on it. This thing is a modern product.

"Then...then..." Bozhu made Hong Tao's shameless behavior a little at a loss. He didn't dare to stare at him. If he didn't look at him, he wanted to see him. His face wrapped in a headscarf was like a blooming flower, with redness in the black.

"Pubo!" Before Bozhu could say the third word, Hong Tao picked up a large stone in the cabin, jumped directly into the water, and sank like a weight. The few people on the boat were all lying on the side of the boat, looking at the sea.

Is Hong Tao able to pick pearls? He can do it! But he can dive freely, but he just doesn't wear any diving equipment. This thing was learned from diving enthusiasts in the Great Blue Hole when he was on the Pyramid Island. Of course, according to his usual style, he just learns fur. He probably knows how to play it. After trying it a few times, he will be able to do it. Compared with those diving enthusiasts, he is just a stick, unable to even get down twenty meters, and he will have to get up at most for about 3 minutes. Those who have cows among them can dive to a depth of 7 or 80 meters without any equipment and can hold it down for about 10 minutes in one breath, which is even better than ordinary divers with oxygen cylinders.

What was the bottom of the South China Sea in the Song Dynasty? Hong Tao could say responsibly that the South China Sea in this era was richer than the Caribbean Sea in later generations! The gentle sand was covered with reefs of large and small size, and the water quality was very clear. You can see groups of small fish swimming between the reefs 2 or 30 meters away. After discovering Hong Tao, the invader, they all jumped into the cracks of the reef and disappeared. After a few seconds, they poked their heads and crawled out and gathered again.

On the sand at the bottom of the sea, there were starfish, sea urchins, conchs and some unknown marine creatures everywhere. Clusters of seaweed were struggling to light and act under the sunlight, and they would occasionally emit a bunch of bubbles. Several dark and brown sea otters were drilling around among these aquatic plants. After seeing Hong Tao, they immediately stopped swimming and stared at Hong Tao with vigilance. They probably thought: Fuck! Another big mouse came! It was bigger than us, so it wasn't here to grab our territory?

Hong Tao didn't come to find them. After careful observation, he confirmed that there were no large ferocious fish, jellyfish, sea snakes and other highly venomous creatures. Then he started stepping on the water and floated up again with the big stone in his arms.

"Azhu, throw the rope down and recite Jiujiuge. If I don't get it up, you can pull it!" Playing is a play, and you still need to pay attention to safety issues. The seabed looks beautiful, but it hides murderous intent. Being careful is useless. Who knows what will happen, so there are also some safety measures. The easiest thing is to tie a rope around your waist, and you can't get it up, and someone will pull it up.

After tied up the rope, Hong Tao picked up the big stone from the boat gang, poured it hard for a few breaths, and then sank again. This time, Hong Tao went directly to the seabed and stepped on the sand to find his target, the big scallop with gullies on the surface. Hong Tao didn't know what kind of shells, the president of Pearl, Hong Tao didn't know. Anyway, the movies and TV shows that they are picking pearls from this scallop, so just think it's right. Anyway, it's just a play, it doesn't matter if you can pick it.

After several twists and turns, I caught a lot of scallops and brought some sea urchins, conchs, and seahors. When Hong Tao was exhausted, a small hill had already piled up on the bow of the boat, which were all the spoils that Hong Tao had brought back.

"Take me..." Hong Tao was so happy that he didn't even have the strength to hold onto the boat. He had to rely on Azhu and Ajiao to pull him up.

"Ah!" As soon as Hong Tao climbed onto the boat, Azhu screamed in surprise, covered her face and turned her head.

"Hehe... the quality is a bit bad." Hong Tao looked down and saw that his underwear had run to his knees. It was better to have thick-skinned. He didn't say he was shameless, but he insisted that the quality of his underwear was not good.

"Ajiao, go and light the charcoal basin. We won't go back to eat at noon. Uncle will make seafood barbecue for you!" Putting on his pants, Hong Tao lay on the board with his shirtless, and put his head on Azhu's thighs, and began to direct the children to work. He had long forgotten what pearls are not pearls. After this tossing, his stomach had already been roaring. Instead of running back for lunch, it would be better to solve it on the spot.

The fishing boats of the Tan family always bring a small charcoal basin, just to eat lunch at sea after going to sea, make some porridge or something. Hong Tao does not plan to use it to make porridge, but to make barbecue. It doesn’t matter if there is no iron grate. Find the largest scallop to pry it open, cut off half of the shell and put it on the charcoal basin as a baking pan, and then pack the sea urchins, conchs, and scallops, and don’t need to put any ingredients. Sprinkle some salt and it’s OK.
