Chapter 156: Plum Ginseng

PS: Thank you for the reward of Jiudangge 68, as well as Fang Hai's high evaluation vote, there should have been a brother who voted for this before, but the news list was refreshed too quickly and I didn't get the list.

At this time, Weihang was quickly catching a precious seafood. In the Coral Fort Coke and Coral Lagoon Belt, quite a few caterpillar-like sea cucumbers have been found.

There are many kinds of sea cucumbers along the coast of the South China Sea in our country, there are about 20 kinds of sea cucumbers for consumption, the sea cucumbers are soft and tender, rich in nutrition, they are typical high-protein, low-fat foods, the taste is beautiful, the flavor is elegant, and it is a famous delicacy for a long time. It is as famous as ginseng, bird's nest and shark fin, and is one of the eight treasures in the world. Sea cucumber is not only a precious food, but also a valuable medicinal material.

Wei Hang saw that this kind of plum ginseng was relatively valuable, the big one was more than sixty or seventy centimeters long, and the wrist was so thick. Such a big sea cucumber, Wei Hang is still the first time to see it.

After catching two full bags, he turned back the way he came, a few hundred meters away from the location of the fishing boat. When he returned to the bottom of the fishing boat, he was very surprised, he didn't see a single figure, there was no reason to run on the boat collectively, right?

When I came out of the water, I was even more puzzled when I saw that those guys seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.

Gu Yanji saw Wei Hang's two large bags of huge sea cucumbers, his heart jumped, and he almost screamed. He has never seen such a big sea cucumber, and he has seen the largest one meter two, but it can be called the best.

"Shhh

"Where to find the sea cucumber, Dacheng is like this, it's outrageous. Huang Jinhui also looked shocked.

Wei Hang didn't answer, but asked, "Why did you all run up and rest?"

"Didn't you see it?" Yun Rulong glanced at Wei Hang strangely.

"What do you see?, shark?" Wei Hang quickly sensed with the sea pearl as he spoke, and found that there were no particularly dangerous creatures, right?

"Not a shark, but almost. It's a sawfish, and the saw kiss is more than a meter, and it makes Lao Tzu chill, it's too terrifying. If it weren't for Daniel Zhang to hurry up and throw away those big sea crabs. Maybe you'll be attacked. Goofy replied.

Wei Hang also jumped in his heart, and when he saw that everyone was fine, he was relieved. A sawfish, which can separate people in half when provoked, is really dead and dead, and it makes me chill when I think about it.

"I should be leaving, I didn't see it just now. Wei Hang climbed up and tossed the sea cucumber aside.

Since that guy ran away, he was relieved to let the family go down to help capture it after a while. There are still a lot of sea cucumbers there, and they struggle for more than half an hour. It should be able to catch a thousand or a hundred catties.

He barely caught four or five bags in a bag, each weighing a few catties, and a thousand or hundreds of catties didn't need a lot.

"Brother, do you still have this kind of sea cucumber there?" Gu Yanji was most concerned about this problem.

Wei Hang nodded: "Yes! I was about to come up and call everyone down to help." The fishing boat drove about 500 meters to that side, and there were some rocks and reefs in front of it, and there were quite a few found in that area. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they understood why Wei Hang came up so late, and their feelings ran so far. Under water, it is not so easy to advance a few hundred meters.

"This is the plum ginseng known as the king of sea cucumbers? "Tourists are coming around.

"I've seen thumbs up before, these are that big. It turned out to be the king of sea cucumbers, so it's no wonder. A young man next to him suddenly realized.

"Yes, this kind of food is not only very large, but the price is not something that ordinary people can eat. Dry goods cost two or three thousand pounds, which is very powerful. ”

Gu Yanji shook his head with a smile: "You are talking about breeding." More than five thousand in the wild is not too expensive. This kind of superb plum ginseng, not to mention. ”

Plum ginseng is large and thick, with good quality, and is one of the best edible sea cucumbers in the South China Sea.

Others listened. With a look of astonishment, how expensive it is, can the common people still afford it? They don't know. Some time ago, Weihang got a yellow-lipped fish, which is thousands of dollars a pound of fresh meat, and it is not surprising that sea cucumbers have this price.

And those fishermen were excited, they didn't expect this sea cucumber to be so expensive, and they had to pay attention to it when they came out in the future. If you get 100 catties, you won't have to work for a year.

Daniel Zhang hurried to sail the boat, ready to do a big job. Catching a few more of these sea cucumbers will cost them more than a large net of redhead fish. That's a big difference in price.

"Raise it with seawater, or you may melt when you come back." As soon as it will go ashore, it will be dealt with immediately. Gu Yanji said.

He knows very well that sea cucumbers will melt after a few hours of strong seawater, just like ice cream. After going ashore, you have to hurry up to make zuò dried products.

He was thinking about whether to invite some experienced people to help, for fear that Wei Hang and the others would break it. Such a precious sea cucumber, if a batch is damaged in the sun, it will be a big loss.

When sea cucumbers leave the seawater, they will produce an autolytic enzyme in their body, and within 6-7 hours, the sea cucumbers will melt into a liquid on their own, which will be watery and dissolve without a trace.

In addition, sea cucumbers will automatically dissolve in the sea after 10-15 years of growth. At the same time, it is not only when it leaves seawater, but also when the environment in which sea cucumbers grow is polluted. Dried sea cucumbers will also autolyze when exposed to oily substances, which is why merchants prohibit the use of oil-stained containers when teaching consumers to foam sea cucumbers.

When Cao Da and the others heard this, they hurriedly took action, a little frightened, if the treasure of thousands of yuan and a pound melted like this, I'm afraid that their hearts will also melt, right?

"Are they dead?" Someone was curious and found that these sea cucumbers were very strange, as if they were frozen, motionless, and looked very stiff.

From the beginning, someone wanted to ask this question. But when he found that Gu Yanji and the others were so excited, they endured it.

Hearing this, Wei Hang suddenly smiled: "They are hibernating, which is quite interesting." ”

When several people heard this, they all looked at each other. It seems to be summer now, right? Aren't all other animals dormant in winter?

Wei Hang explained that when the water temperature reaches 20 degrees Celsius, the sea cucumber will move to the dark places of the reef in the deep sea, hide at the bottom of the rock, and the back side down will not eat or move, and the whole body will shrink and harden, like a stone. Animals don't eat it. Sea cucumbers sleep in the summer, and only wake up after autumn to resume their activities.

"So, when they wake up, they get bigger, some even more than a meter. Wei Hang said.

The others nodded one after another, and the secret path was really insightful. There are so many wonders in this world!

They still don't know much about sea cucumbers, otherwise they think that this girl is a monster at all.

When encountering a vicious natural enemy, the vigilant sea cucumber quickly sprayed out all the internal organs in his body, allowing the other party to eat them, and with the help of the recoil force of the viscera discharge, he escaped without a trace. This is called the decontamination function.

If the sea cucumber is cut into two sections and put into the sea, after 3-8 months, each section will produce a complete sea cucumber. Some sea cucumbers also have the ability to cut themselves, when the conditions are suitable, they can cut themselves, and each section will grow into a sea cucumber in the future.

It also has a special function, which is the rejection function, which stuffs things that do not belong to its body into their flesh, and it will not be long before the foreign body will be quietly excreted from the body.

What's even more interesting is that there is a fish symbiosis in the cloaca of plum ginseng. This fish is the size of a finger, the whole body is brownish-red, the head is slightly larger, and the body is smooth and slender, about 20 centimeters. When it feels the water deteriorate, it will stick its head out from the inside of the ginseng body. Therefore, it can be used to observe the response of plum ginseng to environmental changes.

The fishing boat arrived at the designated location, and everyone went into the water one after another. Weihang reminded that if they are too small, don't touch them for the time being.

Although the sea cucumber buried itself in the sand, everyone could still observe the traces, and they dug up a thin layer of fine sand to catch the sea cucumber that was still dormant, which was really easy.

Sea cucumbers are not very smart, thinking that they can save their lives by hardening themselves and burying them in the sand. As everyone knows, when you are not sober, you may be on someone's dinner table.

There is no happiest thing than the ancient saying. This batch of superb plum ginseng, save some use, should be enough for the restaurant to consume for three or five months. During this time, he was using various relationships to buy high-quality wild plum ginseng, but the amount he got was very small.

He secretly wondered if he should discuss with Wei Hang and not reveal the news to Lao Zhao. If that guy knew, he would have to break up some more.

On a trip, plum ginseng is hundreds of catties. At this time, the lunch is also done, it is still seafood, there is no rice, it is directly a large pot of sea crabs and shrimps, which is very attractive. In addition, I made some dipping sauce for everyone to break open and dip in.

"You're welcome!" one of the tourists washed his hands and immediately set to work.

Eating these things, you still want to pretend to be Sven, isn't that holding it with your hands to eat?

"You're welcome, everyone just eat. "Weihang is also heroic, and if he catches these plum ginseng, he will make a lot of money. Therefore, it is not prepared to charge for the lunch prepared by these tourists this time.

Before, these people negotiated that each person would make up 50 yuan, which was considered the cost of the boat ride and food, as well as the cost of equipment for going to the sea to play. It's already cheap. came out to play for more than half a day, only fifty yuan, and solved the stomach problem. There are such bamboo shoots in other tourist areas? Impossible, a meal may have to eat you a hundred or dozens of yuan.

According to the previous statement, everything picked up in the sea can be returned to tourists. However, these precious sea cucumbers were not found by them, so even if they helped to pick them up, they did not have a share. Besides, they all took advantage of it, where do they still have the face to take these things?

"There seems to be a lot of it around the area! Let's work harder, and it doesn't matter if we go back later. Gu Yanji has worked hard this time.

Since there are so many, you might as well give a little Zhao Wenchang, it's just that the guy who is cheaper, and he doesn't have any strength at all. However, it is not negotiable that he should take more than two-thirds of the weight.

Everyone ate a delicious meal of seafood and rested with their bellies up.

"It's so cool to come out this time. Those who didn't come out with us must be envious and jealous when they see us go back with such a big harvest, right?" laughed the young man with the glasses.

Can you not be jealous? There is no need for any cost, let Weihang be exempted. I also saw so many things, and I even got my favorite treasure at the bottom of the sea. (To be continued......)
