Golden Fishery

  Qin Shiou didn’t understand the gooseneck barnacle, but when he checked the common name of the thing on the Internet, he knew what was going on, dog claw snails!

  When Qin Shiou was at work at CNOOC, he had a meeting with the leader once. He saw this thing. It looked very ugly. Several snail shells were joined together, like monster claws.

  But this thing is very expensive, and it is not produced in the island city. It is said that it was transported by air from Spain. If a few snails are cooked for one dish, it costs two thousand yuan, which shocked Qin Shiou. In addition, there were too many big people on the table and it was not his turn to eat. He just listened to others' comments that it was very fresh and delicious, not greedy, and didn't taste it.

   "Do we still have dog claw snails here? It's a gooseneck barnacle." Qin Shiou asked in shock.

  Shaq shrugged and smiled: "Of course, just to the west of the island, there are a lot of rocks growing on the reef. We call it horse teeth because they look like horse teeth."

  Qin Shiou looked up the information again and found out that barnacles are widely distributed, and traces of them can be found in almost any sea area from the intertidal zone to the subtidal zone in shallow waters. They are numerous and often live in close proximity.

  However, this barnacle is generally an inedible round barnacle. Gooseneck barnacles are relatively rare. Except for the coastline of Galicia, Spain, no traces of large-scale growth have been found.

  It seems that the feng shui on the farewell island is good, and there are swan-neck barnacles that are rare in barnacles.

  The price of this barnacle is very high. In Europe, it is comparable to caviar, tender foie gras, and bluefin tuna. It costs two to three hundred euros per kilogram, which is converted into RMB, and it costs one thousand yuan per catty!

  Recalling the praise of the so-called ‘VIP’ snails on the dog claw snails when they were socializing, Qin Shiou slapped his thigh and said, “Hurry up, I said, why didn’t you tell me that we still have this kind of delicacy on our island?”

Shaq explained: "Horse teeth grow on reefs, usually in shallow waters, and they have to dive to fish. They have gelatinous substances, which are difficult to catch when they stick to the reef. If there are wind and waves, those reefs will be exposed. , So we can get them up."

"In addition, the long horse teeth happen to be in the sea area behind the two chemical plants. The chemical plant raised by the mother of Gou did not let us get close. This time it is the chemical plant to get out of the way, and we have a chance to fish." Hai Said strangely cheerfully.

  The departure of the two chemical plants made the people of the town very happy to say goodbye. Many days have passed. When the closed chemical plant is mentioned, the townspeople will still toast and cheer.

  The Chinese food has settled, and Qin Shiou quickly got into the car to go fishing for gooseneck barnacles. The four children lonely watched him at the door. He waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, guys, there is seafood for lunch!"

  Shaq’s big pickup led the way, President One followed, and soon reached the west of the island.

The Steve Chemical Plant and Spring Chemical Plant are no longer in glory. There is no one in the huge factory area. The scene of cars and boats passing by in the past has disappeared. The gates are closed and the people are sparsely populated. There are only a few to see. The old man at the door stayed inside.

Shaq was very relieved and parked the car at the gate of the factory. The doorman came out with the dog. Nelson held the sharp whaling knife in his hand and stared at the man with a gloomy face, which made him shiver. Without a word, he ran back.

  The extremely active and fierce German black backs at the last protest were also honest. These guys are just arrogant and seem to know that their owner has lost power. Although they were taken to the door, they did not bark.

   "This knife is really good." Qin Shiou blew a whistle after getting out of the car.

  The saber in Nelson's hand was about 25 or six centimeters long. The handle and the blade were similar in length. The blade shone with cold light and looked terrifying.

Hearing Qin Shiou’s praise, Nelson smiled and said, “This is an extreme force whaling fork saber. It is a good knife. The blade is made of 420J2 steel and has a hardness of 57Hrc. It is the standard saber I used in the emergency special forces. It’s best to collect horse teeth."

Although the gooseneck barnacles taste beautiful and do not move, they also have their own way of survival, which is to grow on the reefs with strong winds and waves. Because they can stick to the reef tightly, ordinary fish cannot catch them.

  However, gooseneck barnacles still have natural enemies, that is, seagulls, sea spirits that can travel through wind and waves.

  Behind the chemical plant is a rugged coastline, the ground is six or seven meters above the sea, and the ridged reefs below are continuous lines, which look extremely dangerous.

  The strong wind blows the waves against the shore, making a loud ‘pop’, and sometimes you can feel the coldness of the sea water splashing on your face when you lower the probe.

  Gooseneck barnacles live on the reef below, and there are also some on the coast. Today, Shaq and the sea monsters are targeting these gooseneck barnacles that grow on the reef.

Shaq found a maple tree and tied the rope, and said, "Can you see the things that look like horse teeth? They are gray and white, they look ugly, and the delicious things are generally not very beautiful, so don’t underestimate it. It."

A dozen seagulls took advantage of the surging waves to find opportunities to peck at the barnacles attached to the reef. Although barnacles are protected by hard plate shells, they have a life habit that is very deadly, that is, when water flows through them. , The cover of the shell will open, and feathery tentacles will extend from the inside to filter the plankton in the water with the vine.

  In this way, the tumbling waves created an illusion for them. The waves slapped up. They thought that the tide was high, so they quickly opened their back shells to prey. But the waves fell quickly, so they had no time to close their back shells, and seagulls seized the opportunity to come up and peck.

  Although the success rate of seagulls is not high, the deliciousness of barnacles makes them willing to work hard. As long as they catch two barnacles, they can have a full meal.

  The snow-white seagulls ‘tweeted’, they bravely traversed the waves of the sea, swooping and pecking again and again until they were full. Of course, they would leave if they couldn’t eat a few times in a row.

  Seagulls are very clever. They know that their endurance is not good, and they will not waste energy on catching a kind of food. If this way is not available, then change the way. This is their predation strategy.

Like Shaq, Nelson also found a tree tied with a rope, and explained: "The old **** chemical plant owners made the waters here their private property. These dogs were raised by niang, and they didn’t allow us to catch horse tusks. , I haven’t tasted this kind of delicacy in years."

  They are busy, and another car drove over. It was Hughes’s Buick Grand Hyatt. When they got off the car, Hughes smiled and said, “You guys are really timely. The rain stopped and came over?”

Qin Shiou and Hughes said hello, standing on the shore and looking down, there are layers of gooseneck barnacles on the reef below. This thing looks like a monster's claws. I don't know how to bid farewell to the people in the town. How can they feel like horse teeth.

  The swan-neck barnacles have a strong reproductive ability. The reef is densely packed, and it looks like there are hundreds of thousands. If people with intensive phobia see it, they will definitely be nauseous and vomiting.

After the rope was tied, Shaq and Nelson began to slowly move down the reef. The sea monster grabbed Shaq's rope and told Qin Shiou: "Boss, grab Nelson's rope, pay attention to his position, if there is a wave When you rush, pull the rope vigorously and try not to let them get caught in the waves!"

  Boris’s four children were divided into two teams in a tacit understanding. Boris took Shirley to follow Qin Shiou, while Gordon and Michelle went to help the sea monsters.

  The tiger and the leopard also followed. The little guy ran to the shore to bite the rope, with his tail tucked in his butt, and gritted his teeth back.

The rising of the heating whirl drove the ocean wind and waves. The calm sea surface in the past became extremely turbulent. The sea water was constantly being blown up by the wind and waves and then withdrawn into the sea. The sea level was at least two meters lower than before, hiding the gooseneck in the sea. The barnacles are exposed.

  Qin Shiou made an ‘OK’ gesture to Shaq, put on his gloves and arm guards, and grabbed the rope.

Nelson jumped like a frogman and fell to the shore with a whaling knife between his teeth. He looked at the opportunity. When a big wave fell, he immediately jumped to the nearest place where the gooseneck barnacles were born to him, and drew out the whaling. The knife was inserted between the barnacle and the reef.

  "Give it to me!" Nelson shouted sharply, and pulled down a gooseneck barnacle that was fourteen-five centimeters long, and quickly stuffed it into his shoulder bag, then aimed at the next one, and slid the knife in again.
