Golden Fishery

Code words while working overtime, not eggshells, but egg pain! \u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026

Porphyra is a general term for algae that grow alternately in the sea. It belongs to red algae. Its color is usually purple or brownish green, and it has various shapes and types. Qin Shiou taught the children to choose laver zebra.

He explained to the children before that seaweed is dried and roasted seaweed, which is true. But not all seaweed is seaweed, some seaweed is not edible, and Daqin Fishery is more suitable for seaweed.

This kind of laver is easy to distinguish. It is about 20 centimeters long and the algae are bright purple. They grow around the reef and are tangled together.

Powell was about to uproot the Porphyra variegata, but Qin Shiou hurriedly stopped him, and asked Nelson to get a few small knives, and said, "Just cut them off, leave roots for them, and when the sea tide rises, they will grow again."

Generally, the thicker the leaves and the fatter the roots of Porphyra zebra, the better, otherwise, if it is baked in the sun, there will be no meat to eat. In addition, when the leaves are thick, tendons tend to be thick, and the seaweed made in this way is chewy.

The seaweeds in Daqin Fishing Farm are all of high quality, with thick leaves and thick roots. After all, they have absorbed the energy of the sea god. Shaq collected some and put them in front of his nose to sniff them, and exclaimed: "Well, the taste is very delicious. It must be delicious when baked."

Compared with sea fish, children are more interested in seaweed, which is a snack, and they eat it mixed with popcorn when watching TV or playing games. One is delicious and the other is fragrant, both are very popular.

Qin Shiou poured out several boxes for laver, and Wei Ni smiled at Liu Shuyan. Said: "We can drink seaweed egg flower soup at noon, do you like eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs or wild bird eggs?"

"You're welcome..." Liu Shuyan quickly waved her hand.

Winnie smiled and said: "No, you're welcome. We have too many eggs here. We harvest all kinds of eggs every day. We can't eat them. I hope you like them."

The children collected seaweed like a competition. Shirley suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, come and see. Here is a fish that can crawl on the beach!"

The children around all ran over to watch, and Little Shaq said carelessly: "What's so strange? It must be an American eel. My dad and I have seen this kind of fish climb on the car... Heck, it's not an American eel?!"

The home of fish is in the ocean. But that doesn't mean they can't play some games on away land.

According to Darwin's theory of species evolution,

Mammals all evolved from fish, that is to say, since the Devonian period 350 million years ago, some ancient fish have been out of water, gradually adapted to the land environment, and then continued to evolve, and finally formed human beings.

According to Qin Shiou's knowledge, some bony fish can live out of water for a period of time even if they are tired. I don't know if they will evolve into adults if conditions permit...

Seeing the children yelling there, he followed to have a look. At first he guessed that it was an American eel. This kind of fish can live out of the sea for more than ten minutes. He had encountered a few before, but these eels were clever enough to get into the wet sand cave and survived until the high tide, so he There is no capture.

Go up to the fish. Qin Shiou was also a little taken aback when he saw it, hey. It's really not an American eel, it's a fish that hasn't appeared before.

This kind of fish looks very strange, a bit like an elongated frog without legs. The back of the body is dark brown, the abdomen is gray, there are 6 black strips on the back, and irregular green-brown spots all over the body.

Its eyes are small and protrude above the back of its head, its lower eyelids are well developed, and its teeth can be exposed when it opens its mouth. Qin Shiou even found that it has canine teeth, and its tail fin is wide and wedge-shaped, which can bounce on the beach.

Fortunately, Qin Shiou is well-informed. He has never found this kind of fish in the fishing ground, but he knows it, so he explained: "This is called a mudskipper. You can also call it a jumping fish. It is relatively rare in Newfoundland fishing grounds. It is usually found in tropical fish. It is more common in the sea, and it may have come to us along the Mexican warm current."

Yes, this strange-looking guy is a mudskipper. Although it doesn't look like a fish, it has gills and fins. It is an ancient fish animal with a low degree of evolution.

The habits of mudskippers are different from ordinary fish. As long as their skin is kept moist, they can directly extract oxygen from the air through the skin to breathe. In addition, there are small pockets around their gills, which can hold water for one breath, just like humans Like holding your breath.

There are no mangroves in the Daqin Fishing Ground, otherwise the mudskippers can show their other talent, which is climbing. They are geniuses among fish in that they can use their pelvic fins as suction cups, grab hold of trees and use their pectoral fins to climb up to the canopy.

Qin Shiou saw that the children were interested in this mudskipper, so he introduced what he knew. After the introduction, he asked, "Okay, is there anything else you don't understand? Mention it."

"Is it delicious?" Little Shaq immediately asked, "I think it looks very fat."

Qin Shiou was in a cold sweat, and gave him a slap in the face and said, "I just know how to eat, and I'll ask your father to stew you later!"

After speaking, he picked up the mudskipper and sent it to a puddle. With this water to buffer the time, it can wait until the tide rises.

It was not the first time that Shaq saw mudskippers, but he saw them in the fishing ground on Farewell Island, and asked strangely: "How could this kind of fish appear in a temperate fishing ground like ours? The water temperature is not enough now, right?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and guessed: "Maybe it came here along the Gulf Stream, and then it was lucky to survive, what do you think?"

Shaq also shrugged: "I can only think so, my brain is not working well, and I don't understand such messy things as science, biology and oceanography."

The children finally got tired after working for more than an hour, Qin Shiou let them go ashore and baked seaweed and kelp for them to eat.

There are relatively few mussels in Daqin Fishing Ground, and there are not many scallops on the beach, which makes the activity of picking fish lose a lot of fun.

Michelle walked along the coastline for a while, and then picked up two yellow mussels the size of an adult's palm, which looked quite beautiful. The shells were clean, with smooth texture, egg-yellow, and a pure feeling.

After picking up these two mussels, Michelle ran back happily, and a group of children gathered around to watch. Qin Shiou said with a smile: "Call Bill later, buy a batch of mussels and raise them, maybe our fishery It can also be turned into a pearl mining site.”

Although he said it casually, Qin Shiou actually cared about it, that is, farming shellfish is also good, in addition to being edible, it can also produce pearls.

The two mussels disappeared after being passed around. Michelle was dumbfounded and shouted, "Where are my shells? Where did my two shells go?"

A group of bad boys spread their hands in a daze, and Shaq pointed to Gordon and said, "It must be with you. I saw you put the shell in your pocket just now!"

"You nonsense, little Shaq, you must have taken it away, and only you are so greedy!" Gordon retorted not to be outdone. (to be continued)
