Golden Fishing Village

The general swam away, while Ao Muyang stayed.

The turtle protection area has the most reefs. Purple sea urchins prefer to live in the backlit areas of reefs or between rocks. They often dig holes and hide in them.

Therefore, there are many sea urchins in this protection area.

Due to the long-term currents, there are many cracks in the reefs, but most of the cracks are not wide. It just so happens that most of the sea urchins are small. These small sea urchins have drilled into the cracks of the rocks, which is not easy to find.

During the day, sea urchins will try to hide in caves. They are afraid of light and hide during the day and come out at night. That is, they have just arrived in the sea area outside the village and have not dug out caves in a short time. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Lao Ao to find them.

Ao Fugui swam close to the reef. No matter how big or small, as long as it was a sea urchin, he would put it into the net bag hanging on his waist.

Ao Muyang pulled his net bag, which scared Ao Fugui so much that he quickly grabbed his belt. It was not until he turned around and found that he was pulling the cart net bag that Ao Fugui breathed a sigh of relief.

After Ao Fugui surfaced, Ao Muyang took a breath and said, "Why are you catching all the sea urchins regardless of size? It's ok to catch a few big ones, but you have to keep the small ones."

Ao Fugui said, "I just want to sell the big ones and eat the small ones myself."

"You know how to do business, at least leave some seeds for the sea urchins." Ao Muyang said unhappily, "These sea urchins look very thin, there's nothing to eat, try to catch as little as possible."

Ao Fugui said, "Why keep them here? Do you want to raise sea urchins? If you do, just buy seedlings. What can you do with these?"

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "I'm not raising sea urchins, but keeping them to decorate the seabed here. I plan to build a diving resort here when the weather gets hot. You can see there are hawksbill turtles, sea turtles, coral reefs, and now sea urchins. If we get some coral fish later, won't it become a tourist attraction?"

Ao Fugui suddenly realized, "I see, your little brain is really useful."

"Get lost!"

Lao Ao didn't come here just to catch sea urchins this time, he also wanted to feed them with golden drops, but this was more difficult. Whether it was golden drops or scattered golden dots, sea urchins needed to catch them automatically, but their mobility was too poor, and they would probably be snatched away by the surrounding fish, shrimp and turtles after being released.

Fortunately, it was cold now, the turtles had not returned from migration, and there were not many fish and shrimp in the surrounding sea, so it was estimated that the sea urchins could eat some.

Purple sea urchins were not rare, and Lao Ao decided to feed them with golden drops just to decorate the seabed with them, so he didn't feed them much.

He carefully searched for large sea urchins, and put them in the net bag after finding them.

The general was trying to help. When he saw the big sea urchin, he opened his mouth and took it in. Then he immediately spit it out, staring wide-eyed and shaking his ears, struggling hard in the water.

This unlucky child, Lao Ao muttered in his heart and went over to hug him to the surface. As soon as the general emerged, he began to hum and hum, and his mouth opened and couldn't close.

Ao Muyang looked over and saw that the general's tongue was bleeding. He must have closed his mouth hard after biting the sea urchin just now. The sea urchin spines are not decorations. This thing is not sharp, but it is also pointed.

In addition, the sea urchin spines are poisonous, with poison sacs at the end. Among them, the purple sea urchin spines are very toxic. If a person is stabbed, he must be treated, otherwise it is easy to cause inflammation.

As for the dog, there is no need to treat it. The dog's immune system is strong. Besides, the general's mouth was blown up, and Lao Ao couldn't treat it.

So he asked the general to wait on the shore. The general felt that his performance today was embarrassing, and after returning to the shore, he lay there unhappily without moving.

Ao Muyang went ashore after catching a dozen purple sea urchins. He called Ao Fugui up, and the two of them counted and found that there were 25. He nodded and said, "That's enough."

Ao Fugui said, "How is that enough? It's too little."

Ao Muyang said patiently, "Tonight, there are only you, me and Teacher Lu. Each of us has seven or eight sea urchins. Isn't that enough?"

"Where are my parents?"

"You are being filial again at this time. If they don't eat them, we can just eat them ourselves."

Ao Muyang took the sea urchins home, and then shouted on the loudspeaker in the village, "Attention, villagers, attention, I am Ao Muyang. Sea urchins have appeared in the sea outside our village. Everyone should protect them and don't catch them. Okay, I'll repeat it..."

Ao Fugui followed behind and laughed, "Yangzi, you are so mean."

The loudspeaker spread his voice to the whole village, "Yangzi, you are so mean."

Old Ao quickly turned off the microphone, so he didn't have to repeat it again.

Sea urchins are old residents of Hongyang Bay. Now that they are rare, the people don't miss them. Like starfish, they have never been on the mainstream table.

It is also for this reason that when Lao Ao said that Ao Fugui's parents didn't eat this, Ao Fugui didn't refute. If he didn't know that Ao Muyang was good at making Western food, he wouldn't want to eat sea urchins.

The local cooking methods for sea urchins in Hongyang are very simple, either sea urchin steamed eggs or sea urchin fried rice. In fact, the way to really appreciate the style of sea urchins is to push sashimi.

Ao Muyang has worked hard on Western food, so he naturally knows how to deal with this sea urchin. He doesn't need to add anything. After opening it, take a small spoon to eat it. Otherwise, once it is cooked, its unique freshness will be reduced.

It's not bad to eat purple sea urchins now. Seriously speaking, purple sea urchins are on the market from late April to early May. The best time to taste them is July and August, because the sea urchins are just mature at that time, with fat and cream, and they are extremely delicious.

After Ao Muyang brought the sea urchin back, he washed it with water and rinsed it repeatedly with clean water. Ao Fugui sat on a recliner and looked at it curiously while holding a cat.

In the end, he saw nothing. Ao Muyang washed the sea urchin several times and then threw it into fresh water to soak it, and then never cared about it again.

Seeing this, Ao Fugui asked, "Why don't you deal with it?"

Ao Muyang asked back, "What to deal with? This thing needs to be eaten raw at night. You may not be used to it, so I told you not to make too much."

Ao Fugui frowned and said, "What the hell? Eat it raw?"

Ao Muyang said, "Pair it with white wine. I have New Zealand's Saint-Barbe Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc white wine, which was sent by Brother Tiger during the Chinese New Year. You can try it tonight."

"I don't like drinking wine. It's bitter and astringent. It's better to drink vinegar." Ao Fugui waved his hand immediately.

Ao Muyang said: "New Zealand's Saint-Barbeque Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a world-famous wine, different from ordinary wines. You should taste it carefully when the time comes."

Ao Fugui didn't want to eat sea urchins raw like this. He said solemnly: "Eating them raw is something that primitive people, barbarians and Japanese devils do. I don't eat them like this."

He lay on the chair holding his mobile phone and began to search for ways to eat sea urchins. After searching for a while, he said to himself: "It seems that I have to taste that white wine tonight."
