Golden Fishery
1278. Poison shellfish crisis
As usual, Qin's mother has seven dishes and two soups for dinner. There are many people in the fishing ground, and sometimes the fishermen will come to eat, so they have to cook more.
Qin Shiou enjoyed the time with his parents very much, he didn't need to prepare the dishes, otherwise he would cook the meals normally, of course he wouldn't cook so many dishes, at most four dishes, making a big pot of rice or adding barbecue, how to save trouble.
Qin's mother made stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, hot and sour cabbage, eggs with peppers, fried shredded chicken with fungus, ground three delicacies, winter melon with dried shrimps, and fried meat. The soups were fish head tofu soup and tomato beef brisket soup.
In addition, Winnie brought back a grilled chicken with Hawaiian soy sauce and a large plate of fried steak from the town. The main food was pizza in various styles, and the combination of Chinese and Western was very rich.
During the meal, Wei Ni didn't take a seat for a long time, Qin Shiou shouted: "Sweetheart, it's time to eat."
Weini said in a somewhat depressed mood: "You guys eat first, I'll make some milk powder for the little melon."
Obviously, Winnie had something on her mind, and it was even more obvious that it was about work.
Thinking of the scene of Winnie leaving in a hurry in the morning, Qin Shiou went over and asked, "Tell me, dear, what trouble did you encounter this morning?"
He guessed that it was this morning that bothered Winnie.
While making milk powder for Little Melon, Winnie said, "Oh, it's nothing, you can go eat first."
Qin Shiou pulled Wei Ni over to face him, and said, "No matter what trouble you have, tell your husband, and he will help you solve it. Don't you believe in an omnipotent husband?"
Seeing Qin Shiou's serious expression, Winnie smiled warmly, and said, "Something happened to the tourists. Someone went out to sea with the fisherman early in the morning, and was hurt by poisonous shellfish."
After preparing the milk powder, Wei Ni tested the temperature and handed it to her daughter. Little Melon picked up the big milk bottle and started drinking with puffed cheeks.
Hearing that the poisonous shellfish hurt people, Qin Shiou hurriedly asked, "What poisonous shellfish? How's the situation?"
Winnie said: "It's a cone snail. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Dr. Odom has excellent medical skills. Otherwise, this time things would be a bit troublesome. It seems that the surrounding sea area is a bit dangerous. You and the fishermen should also be careful."
There are about 100,000 species of shellfish registered on the earth. Not only are there beautiful treasures, delicious scallops, but also some poisonous shellfish that can secrete venom, and there are many types, there must be thousands of species.
Among the poisonous shells, the most common ones are fragrant snails, lychee snails and the cone snails mentioned by Wei Ni.
Especially cone snails. Because the appearance is beautiful and looks like a chicken heart, it is very confusing. Once someone sees it and grabs it, it will be troublesome.
The type of cone snail is also the most common among poisonous shellfish, and there are more than 500 kinds found now. All of them have a small opening hidden in the tip part, and there are fangs in it, from which venom can be shot, and a milligram can kill a person.
However, there are relatively few incidents of cone snails hurting people in Canada. Qin Shiou has never heard of them, because most cone snails live in tropical waters, and they are more common in the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean, especially the North Atlantic Ocean, is rare.
But less is not nothing. This time someone was at a disadvantage.
Qin Shiou asked Wei Ni the specific type of cone snail that wounded people, and Wei Ni shook her head and said, "The wounded is still in the hospital, and no specific image has been drawn. It's not easy to judge. I only know that this kind of snail injects neurotoxins."
Qin's father and Qin's mother became a little scared when they heard their discussion, and told Qin Shiou: "Little Ou, you should be more careful when you go out to sea, don't be bitten by this thing."
Weini comforted the two and said, "Don't worry. This kind of poisonous shellfish is rare. I checked it in the morning. So far, there are only 38 cases of poisonous shellfish injury recorded in the world."
What she didn't tell the elders was that less than half of the 38 died. The fatality rate is extremely high.
So from this point of view, this tourist was lucky, and he was able to escape from the conch snail. It can be said that the god of death let him go.
Shirley nodded and said, "Our school has also issued a warning that we are not allowed to get close to the beach these days. Sister Wei Ni, how will the town handle this matter?"
Weini sipped the soup and said, "We have already reported those that need to be reported to the city government and the Ministry of Oceans. We have to wait for them to send professional search personnel to deal with it."
Qin Shiou said: "Wait for the government? Ha, it will take a long time. I guess the beach will be closed during this time? How do you explain to travel agencies and tourists?"
Tourists’ travel items are all pre-booked. The reason why Farewell Island tourism is so popular is because tourism is very conscientious. Vendors entering the island need government approval and assessment, and accept complaints from tourists.
Therefore, there is no fraud, no forced consumption, and no false consumption when you come to Farewell Island to travel. Tourists spend real money, and enjoyment is real.
The clean Beiguo Beach is a very important part of the tourist route of Farewell Island. If the beach is blocked, the town government will breach the contract and need to pay compensation to tourists.
This is what Winnie was worried about before. The compensation is quite a lot, especially since there are nearly ten groups of tourists waiting to visit the island. They have also signed a contract, and if they pay compensation, they will also have a share.
"I can't explain it, I can only compensate it." Wei Ni said listlessly.
Qin Shiou smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to comb Wei Ni's loose forehead hair, and said, "Eat well, leave this matter to your man, and tomorrow I will lead someone to dig out all the poisonous shells."
In fact, without digging out all the poisonous shellfish, who knows how many poisonous shellfish are there on the coast? As long as you find one, you can make a job. To Qin Shiou, this is not a problem.
Wei Ni was a little worried, and said: "Let's wait for the professionals? This thing is poisonous."
Qin Shiou smiled confidently: "You know, cone snails are not aggressive, and their mobility is very poor. I found it as long as it is not touched with bare hands, it is safe."
Wei Ni still didn't want him to take risks, neither did Qin's father and Qin's mother, but this was a difficult problem in Wei Ni's work, and she had to support her, so he could only tell his son to be careful.
After dinner, Qin Shiou went out for a walk. Since concentric snails appeared in the waters of the public fishing ground, other waters were not safe, but what he didn't understand was, where did these conical snails come from?
This is the top priority, and he thinks farther and more complicated than Winnie.
There is no record of the discovery of cone snails in the waters of Farewell Island, and this thing will not appear out of thin air. Of course, cone snails can drift with the ocean currents and drift in all directions during the period of fertilization.
However, their larvae need warm tropical waters to survive, and the North Atlantic water temperature is too cold for the larvae to survive.
Therefore, he had a guess in his mind that these cone snails were artificially placed in the offshore waters of Farewell Island—someone wanted to harm me!
Walking on the beach, the four sea gods attacked consciously, and at the same time he gave orders to the ice skater, snowball, and bean to help them find together. (to be continued)
