Chapter 338: The Great Battle in the Sea
Muzi and others also prepared equipment to go to the sea, and they said that if they wanted to eat, they would go down and catch them themselves. You can't just watch other people go about their work on the boat and eat and drink together, right?
For the sake of a foodie's heart, I had to do it myself.
Not long after Muzi dived into the sea, he saw a large crab with a bunch of claws spread out, like a spider's web in the water, devouring the prey that approached at any time.
Seeing that the prey was in front of him, he was a little afraid to approach, what if he gave it to him? Although he was much larger than him, the many and long crab feet looked terrifying.
Looking left and right, it seems that there is only this spider crab in the vicinity, he hesitated for a while, but still tried to lean over slowly, Brother Hang said, this kind of crab is actually not dangerous.
At this moment, the spider crab's claw, which had been slow, suddenly stretched out, and as soon as it caught the fish floating overhead, a huge silver pomfret was firmly clamped by it, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape, but let the pincers sink deeper and tighter.
The spider crab lifted the struggling silver pomfret to the crab's mouth, clamped the two pincers together, and began to nibble, and in a short time, a whole silver pomfret was cut into pieces and fragments.
It eats only a handful, and most of the minced meat has either drifted away with the currents or sunk to the bottom of the sea. The spider crab was clearly not full yet, and continued to look for its next prey. It walks slowly, but it is not slow to hunt.
Muzi, who saw this scene, was startled, and he withered again, who had plucked up his courage. Judging by the strength of the pincers, maybe he stretched out his hand and ended up no better.
Although he usually learned how to catch crabs with Wei Hang, he knew that the pair of pincers could not be turned behind his back, as long as he swam to its back, it would be safe. However, this cruel scene still scared him.
Just as he was wondering if he should change his target, an octopus swam up with the current. I don't know if I was attracted by the smell of flesh and blood here.
It is more than a meter long, and it looks much larger than the spider crab, after all, the shell of the spider crab is only twenty or thirty centimeters long, but its crab foot makes people look terrifying.
Seeing the octopus swimming over, the originally comfortable spider crab seemed to be facing a great enemy, and its claws shrank into a defensive state, while slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
The octopus wasn't going to let it go, these crustaceans are rich in astaxanthin, but it's the best food!
It swaggered and swam domineeringly towards the sinking spider crab. He didn't look at that big guy in his eyes.
How can the speed of the spider crab be compared to it, and it didn't take long for it to catch up, and the two big guys scuffled together in an instant.
Although the crab has ten crab legs, only two front claws can really be used in battle. The octopus is different, its eight tentacles are all genuine, and its strength is not weak, and it caught the spider crab in one fell swoop.
The spider crab itself is fierce and aggressive by nature, even in the face of its natural predators. It will not sit back and wait to be killed, but the octopus's unrelenting attitude has aroused its ferocity.
Its crab feet are tightly clasped to the octopus, and with two strong pincers, it shears at the octopus. As long as it is cut to the point, it will also die, and then it will not know who is the prey.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful. The reality is cruel, octopuses often feed on crabs, and they have already experienced it. Several tentacles wrapped vigorously around the spider crab's claws, contracting and agitating vigorously, and in a few moments, all but the two front claws were broken.
This crab foot is broken, I don't know how long it will take to grow, before the crab foot grows, it can no longer move, even if it does not starve to death, it will become the prey of other sea creatures, even if it escapes this time, I am afraid it will not be able to survive for long.
Far from abating, the spider crab's counterattack became more violent, frantically waving its large pincers and poking them at its torso and tentacles.
The octopus did not frighten, let alone let it go, with a wave of its tentacles, it tore off all the crab feet of the spider crab from its body, and it also carried pieces of meat, and the whole spider crab seemed to become bare at once, indescribably weird.
The shell on the back of the spider crab is very hard, which does not mean that the shell on its abdomen is the same, and with such damage, there are many crab feet that cannot grow again.
The price paid by the octopus is not small, the bite force of the pair of front chela pincers is not small, and a lot of wounds have been cut on its body, and even two or three tentacles are about to cut it off, hanging down softly, and the wound is still black, as if it has been poisoned.
Not long after, the octopus broke all the front claws of the spider crab, and it did not eat it immediately, not even the other crab feet, but quickly disappeared into the sea with its prey.
It saw that there was a strange big creature staring at it, and although it was motionless, its size was also very threatening, so it was better to leave early.
Who knows if it will snatch its prey? There is no shortage of such robbers in the oceans.
Seeing the big octopus swimming into the distance, Muzi came to his senses, the battle just now was so exciting, he hadn't even reacted.
If you catch that big octopus, wouldn't you have a bumper harvest today?
Not only can you feast on it, but it also makes those guys envious to death. This kind of opportunity is not so easy to encounter, usually those sea creatures see that humans have long fled, how can they still be in the mood to hunt for food?
It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera to take a picture of what I just saw, otherwise it would have exploded in the absolute click-through rate if I put it on the Internet.
But the alert guy ran so fast that he didn't have time to do it, and when he thought of it, he was annoyed.
The underwater world is really cruel, for the sake of food, life is in danger at any time, the law of the jungle is probably like this, right? Human beings really live too comfortably.
The prey he saw was robbed, and Muzi had to continue diving, looking for another target. After swimming a short distance, he saw Weihai holding a big crab trying to swim upstream.
Wei Hai saw Muzi's blind look, so he motioned for him to swim to the bottom of the sea, where the crabs were easier to catch, and then continued upstream with the harvest.
Muzi got the pointing, and immediately happily dived to the bottom of the sea, and was overjoyed to see those spider crabs lying quietly or crawling slowly under the bottom of the sea, this is simply as simple as picking up, but it is a little troublesome to find.
He dived next to a large crab, clasped its back with both hands, and caught it off the bottom of the sea.
Suddenly attacked, the crab immediately opened its teeth and claws, but its claws could only dance in front of it, and could not turn behind its back.
No matter how it struggled, it didn't help, and it was caught by Muzi and swam to the sea.
The others were the same, and after receiving the instructions, they dived to the bottom of the sea and searched, and it looked like they had all the crabs in one go.
It was not until they were exhausted that everyone finished going into the sea, and they collapsed on the deck, tired like dead dogs.
What follows is naturally a hearty feast of sea crabs, which are so big that they can't be steamed whole, so they can only be slaughtered and fried in a pot.
All of a sudden, a strong fragrance wafted in the fishing boat, and everyone's waist was no longer sore, their legs were no longer painful, and they had the strength to work again.
"Who took out so many cold drinks, and they want to vomit after eating?" Wei Hang said as he looked at the bottles of cold drinks on the table.
"Yun Rulong, that guy. Chen Jianliang betrayed him without even thinking about it.
"I can't take it out and drink it myself? I used to do it a lot, I'm not afraid. Yun Rulong said scoundrelly, where can you feel comfortable if you don't drink some cold drinks in this weather?
Everyone was speechless, although it was said that eating crabs should not drink cold drinks, which would cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but it didn't matter if people were in good health.
"Okay, why not? You drank it all yourself, and no one had a problem. I have a bottle of Jian Nanchun here, who wants some?" Zhao Wenchang came out with a bottle of liquor and said.
As we all know, crabs are a big cold thing, people with weak stomach and stomach will have abdominal pain and diarrhea when eating crabs, and the Chinese diet pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, and eating crabs requires mild wine to neutralize it.
In China, since ancient times, there is a habit of drinking rice wine when eating crabs, which has the function of invigorating blood and warming the stomach, which can dispel the cold and at the same time, can also eliminate the fishy smell in the crab meat.
In addition, the sweetness of the crab meat and the sweetness of the rice wine are also extremely harmonious in taste, without the strong flavor of baijiu, which overshadows the deliciousness of the crab meat.
But now there is no rice wine, and the liquor will be gone. Warm it up, take a few sips, and get rid of the chill when you go to the sea, which is wonderful for people like Zhao Wenchang and Gu Yanji, who are accustomed to traditional food.
In fact, in the field of wine, the perfect match for eating seafood is white wine, because white wine has a more powerful bactericidal effect than red wine, which can effectively inhibit the reproduction of E. coli, dysentery bacilli and other bacteria in the human body.
At the same time, the refreshing taste of white wine is also more suitable for crabs with an umami-based taste. White wine has a lot of vitamins that can bring out the umami in crab meat and make it taste better.
However, no one had brought the wine on board, so it was natural that it would not be possible to taste it now.
Also, you should pay attention to some things when eating crabs, and you can't eat them with persimmons, oranges, dates, pears, honey, peanuts, celery, rabbit meat, etc., otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort or even poisoning.
It can be seen that there are quite a lot of particularities and taboos for eating crabs.
"Isn't it forbidden to drink alcohol when eating crabs?" Gao Fei asked puzzled as he watched Zhao Wenchang take out a bottle of liquor.
"So you people, you guys, even the traditional Chinese food culture has been lost. Eating crabs is not that you can't drink alcohol, but you can't drink beer. But it's also true for those of you who only drink beer. ”
Zhao Wenchang shook his head and said with some unpleasantness. (To be continued......)
