Chapter 250: Sea Urchin
Just when Tangjia Village was lively, Wei Hang led everyone to the sea. Even Qian Wenji and other young masters are no exception, they have to go down to see the scenery.
When they arrived at the bottom of the sea, everyone found that the bottom of the sea was full of hedgehog-like balls. Everyone is not a novice of the ocean, and they recognize this creature as the famous sea urchin. Although this seafood is not as precious as sea cucumber, it is also a rare seafood.
This creature is spherical in shape, like a purple cactus ball with thorns, so it is called the "assassin of the sea", and fishermen often call it "underwater tree ball" and "dragon palace hedgehog".
As a group of strangers broke in, some of the sea urchins quickly fled. However, it still can't escape everyone's clutches. Daniel Zhang and others specially picked up some good quality and large ones.
Sea urchins are naturally timid and will run away whenever they see an enemy, but they cannot move quickly. Sea urchins mostly live on the bottom of the sea, and prefer to inhabit reefs, forests, or rock crevices in the sea below the intertidal zone where seaweed is abundant, as well as in hard sandy and shallow sea areas.
They are social animals, in terms of reproduction, it has a peculiar phenomenon, that is, in a local sea area, like to gather together, once a sea urchin discharges the germ cell, whether sperm or egg into the water, it will transmit the information to every nearby sea urchin like a broadcast, stimulating all sexually mature sea urchins in this area to sperm or ovulate.
This strange phenomenon has been described as a "reproductive infectious disease".
Wei Hang did not act with him, and Chen Jianliang was also not interested. It's good to eat seafood, but if they want to catch it specifically, then there is no interest, unless it is fishing.
Soon after, everyone got on the boat with a large bag. Chen Jianliang and the others did not harvest, and there was no treasure on the bottom of the sea that they were looking for. Wei Hang was a little better, and brought back two tropical reef fish in excellent condition.
He didn't use this thing, it was for the boss. That guy is ready to do it. What can I do if I don't have some inventory?
"What's there to be depressed about, you can't have treasures every time you go to the sea, right?" Wei Hang said with a glance.
Tang Dehui and others are quickly processing the sea urchins that have been caught. This seafood must be kept fresh, that is, it must be raised first, and it will not be allowed to die.
Experienced citizens are very particular about choosing sea urchins.
When choosing sea urchins, you should pay attention to choosing fresh ones, which can see whether the spines move freely, whether the surface of the sea urchin or the perioral membrane is normal in color, and whether it smells like seafood. If there are barbs on the perimeter, or baldness, erythema, or dark spots on the surface of the sea urchin. If the paranogram is abnormally black or smells foul, it cannot be bought.
"How much is this sea urchin a pound now?" Fang Zhen said curiously.
"This is purple sea urchin, it is the best variety of sea urchins, it should be forty or fifty catties!" Wei Hang said that this price is a wholesale price. Purple sea urchins of good quality are still quite expensive.
The cheaper yellow sea urchin also costs about 20 catties.
Daniel Zhang and others were not surprised, they saw more expensive seafood. Forty or fifty pieces per catty, with the following yield. I'm sure I'm going to get rich again when I come out this time.
"Just now I seemed to see a dog at the bottom of the sea. Tian Zhongchi said.
He didn't dare to call out the fur seals, for fear that there would be no such creatures, wouldn't it be ugly to shout out? Anyway, he saw a head. Sticking out of a coral hole, he is eating sea urchins, resembling a dog's head.
"Dogs, there are still dogs in the sea, can't they be sea seals?" Sun Xucheng said. He is not afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at.
Wei Hang smiled: "That's not strange. There are also fur seals, but there are very few of them, and they look a bit like sea lions. ”
He was more skeptical. That's the sea chest, which also looks like a dog's head, and the sea nose likes to eat sea urchins. With the number of sea urchins below, it is not surprising that sea wase appears.
As he spoke, he had already spoken to Guò Haizhu and observed the situation in the vicinity. As he expected, it was indeed that cute little sea beast.
The most valuable part of a sea otter's body is its fur, and clothes made from sea otter skin are the best for keeping out the cold.
However, it was also unexpected. This animal is almost not found in tropical seas, and usually only survives in cold seas, such as the North Pacific Ocean.
"You see, it's that kind of animal. Tian Zhongchi pointed to a dozen small animals swimming on the surface of the sea, which was very interesting. If there are girls present, they will definitely be cute to death.
"Hehe! That's not a fur seal, it's a sea se. ”
Wei Hang glanced at the more than ten sea seze, and saw the direction in which they were heading, they should be preparing to go back to the cold sea in the north. The southern tropical seas are not very suitable for them, and the reason why they appear here is probably because they came with food.
"Can you catch two of them?" Fang Zhen asked.
Looking at Kaise swimming interestingly on the surface of the sea, he was also a little moved.
"This seems to be a protected animal, right?" Gao Fei looked at Wei Hang, they also vaguely remembered such a thing, but they were not sure.
Wei Hang nodded: "That's right! ”
"Forget it. ”
As soon as they heard that it was a protected animal, everyone subconsciously stayed away from it, so as not to provoke the fire. Now there are a lot of people from the Wildlife Conservation Association in Tangjia Village, as well as those biologists, etc., who see protected animals being caught, and they still have it?
When everyone looked over, they saw one of the sea urses climb up a coral reef, and actually took out a few sea urchins and a stone from the folds in their belly, and slammed them on the sea urchins, breaking the sea urchin shells, and then eating the sea urchin yellow.
This unique way of eating makes the people on the boat stunned, too individual, right?
Wei Hang smiled and said, "It's very peculiar!"
He knew that sea otters like to eat clams, sea urchins, turtles, abalones, shellfish and other hard-shelled animals. They dive to the bottom, scoop up a few shellfish or sea urchins, stuff them in the folds of their belly, pick up another stone, swim to the surface, float on their backs, put the stone on their abdomen, and then use their forelimbs to beat the shellfish on the rock until the hard shell breaks, so that they can eat the meat inside.
"It's more fun for them to sleep!" Wei Hang laughed. He had the idea of turning these sea seze into his own sea pearl, and he had to wait for a good time. It is not easy to meet this animal in the South China Sea.
"What's interesting?" asked Muzi curiously.
"They look for places where the seaweed grows, roll around them, wrap the seaweed around their bodies, and sleep on the waves to prevent their sleep from being washed away by the waves. Wei Hang laughed.
The sea otter forages during the day and sleeps at night, but instead of sleeping on the shore, it sleeps in the seaweed, wrapping itself around its body with seaweed, which prevents it from being washed away by the waves when it sleeps. Sea otters sleep close to each other, and when a large group of sea otters sleeps, there are always several sea otters standing guard around. Once the sea otter on duty notices the situation, it will make a loud scream to wake up the sea otter who has fallen asleep.
Hearing this, everyone thought it was funny.
At this time, a sea se actually covered his eyes with his paws, and that action was simply cute. Even Daniel Zhang couldn't help but take pictures with their mobile phones.
Everyone did not disturb these Kaise to rest and quietly went to the sea. Wei Hang slowly approached, and those Kaise stared at Wei Hang vigilantly at first.
Seeing this, Wei Hang slowly released Haizhu's energy. His original intention was to attract the sea wase and lower their vigilance, but he accidentally attracted all the nearby sea fish and other fish to form a small tide of fish. Even the sea urchins at the bottom of the sea surface have come up a little, competing for energy that is invisible to the naked eye.
This phenomenon frightened Daniel Zhang and others who went to the sea, and this kind of riot appeared for no reason, and it also made people mistakenly think that a fierce sea beast was following behind!
Although he was very puzzled, he did not suspect the reason to Wei Hang.
That is, the people on the boat were surprised, watching Wei Hang approach those Kaise. Didn't you say that these Kaise were vigilant by nature? It's strange that people don't run away if you get so close.
However, a scene that surprised them appeared.
With Haizhu as a medium, those Kaise completely relaxed their vigilance against Weihang. When Wei Hang boarded the coral reef, there was actually a sea seze running over and holding Wei Hang's feet as if he was delicate.
"It's not normal!"
People who don't know still think that these sea sezes are raised by Weihang!
"Could it be that Professor Yu said that? Brother Hang himself has an aura that can make animals feel good?" He Jun also touched his head. This is a bit similar to the so-called Wang Bazhiqi, but the nature is different.
"It's possible that some people are born like this, and others can't envy it. ”
"Do you think Brother Hang can kidnap those Kaise?"
The people on the boat talked one after another, from the dependence of the two navigation birds in the village on Wei Hang, and the good impression of the manta ray, to the following of the whales, all of which showed that Wei Hang had an indescribable charm.
Wei Hang squatted down and patted the sea seze with a smile, injecting a trace of energy into its body by the way. Such a cute little thing is not only liked by girls.
Kokai was so happy that he rolled on the ground a few times.
The people on the boat were even more envious, and they were really more people than people than dead people. If it were them, a group of Kaise would definitely have to run clean.
Some shellfish appeared in Wei Hang's hands and quietly handed them to the sea se, without letting the people on the boat see them.
These shellfish are all produced by sea pearls, and the meat quality is certainly not comparable to the shellfish outside. Like a cat smelling fish, the sea wuses snatched up the shellfish, and they were reluctant to eat them, but stuffed them into the folds on their belly.
"Eat! Wei Hang smiled at them.
Wei Hang Tong guò Haizhu conveys his meaning to the past. The sea wasse happily picked up the shells and knocked the coral reef below to break them up before eating the flesh inside.
"Brother Hang, bring them back to Tangjia Village!" shouted the man on the boat. Anyway, there are a lot of rare animals in Tangjia Village now, and a few more sea wuses are not too much.
Wei Hang did not respond, but went back to the fishing boat, and those Kaise immediately followed. (To be continued......)
