448. Accidental discovery (5)
To put it simply, the shells of snails are a small treasure trove, and there may be something buried inside.
Someone once caught a batch of snails in the Indian Ocean, and their shells looked like nothing, but when you crack open the messy shells, you find gold coins inside!
The discoverers at that time began to search for the habitat of these snails, and finally found a shipwreck, which was once rumored to be a strange story in the history of ocean treasure hunting.
Ao Muyang didn't expect to find marine treasures, as long as there were a few pieces of red coral in the shells of these snails.
In this way, he sank to the bottom of the sea with his fishing net, and wandered around for a while, picking up more than forty snails in total.
The camouflage of snails is so successful that they will remain motionless immediately after detecting a threat, because the shells of the snails are covered by reefs, seaweed, etc., and it is difficult to spot them under normal circumstances.
It took Ao Muyang two hours to pick up these snails, and he knew that there must be scavengers in this area, this group is very good at concealment, and it is not so easy to be caught in one net.
Of course, Ao Muyang didn't mean to catch them all, he never did such a thing.
Put the conch on the dinghy, Ao Muyang floated under the sea.
The June sun was blazing, but he did not emerge from the water, but soaked his body in the water, about half a meter deep from the surface of the sea, so that the sun came down, and the heat was partially absorbed by the seawater, and then it was very comfortable to shine on him.
Floating leisurely in the water, Ao Muyang absorbed the water vapor and flowed with the waves.
Before he knew it, he had been back in the village for a year.
Staying in a place like a fishing village, time will pass slowly, and the pace will slow down all of a sudden, giving people time to savor life.
Enjoying the warm sunshine and feeling the softness of the sea, Ao Muyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It was so stupid that he decided to go to the capital and stay in the village.
Later, the sea fishing boat turned back, and Ao Muyang got on the boat and asked, "How is it, everyone, have you gained anything?"
"There's a fart. Ao Mudong was frustrated.
Ao Mupeng said: "There is a fishing boat at the head of the Gong family that has gone to sea, but they have not netted, it is estimated that they plan to do it at night, it will be useless to catch them." β
"If you want me to say that it is useless for us to come out during the whole day, who is a traitor in the daytime? If you want me to say that we will go and catch the boat again at night, absolutely one and the other. β
Ao Qianlai shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I want to sleep with my daughter-in-law in my arms at night." β
Ao Mudong smiled and said, "Uncle Qianlai, how did you sleep with my aunt?" Tell us what you did together at night?"
Ao Qianlai is not stupid, he squinted at Ao Mudong and said, "If you talk nonsense, I will knock out half of your teeth!"
Ao Mudong didn't dare to joke anymore, Ao Qianlai did what he said, if he really wanted to knock out half of his teeth, he would definitely count the number of his teeth and start smashing it down.
Ao Muyang said: "If you still want to go to sea in the afternoon, then drive the boat yourself, I won't come out." Also, go to my place for a drink in the evening, I got some snails today. β
The snail meat is delicious, and it is delicious when dipped in a mustard sauce.
It gives people a greater temptation lies in the situation inside the snail shell, which is a bit like a gambling stone, and no one can guess what is wrapped in the big snail shell, and it has to be knocked open to be clear.
Ao Muyang knocked on the conch shell in the afternoon.
Before doing this, you have to deal with the snail meat inside, because the snail shell is very hard and you have to knock it hard, and it is easy to ruin the delicate snail meat if you are not careful.
It's cruel to be a snail picker, and you have to steam them alive.
Ao Muyang boiled the pot with water, put an iron plate in it, and put the conches on them one by one.
Forty-two conch shells are stacked in four layers, and the shells of the snails are huge, the smallest being the size of an adult's fist.
Turn the heat to low, and when the water vapor comes out of the cage drawer, then turn off the fire, and you can steam the snail meat by relying on the residual power of the water vapor.
The snail meat is very tender, which is its preciousness, if the steaming heat is too large, the snail meat will be steamed and old, so that it is like rubber, and there will be no taste at all.
The snail shell was cold, Ao Muyang opened the whole and hooked out the snail meat one by one.
The snails are not large, jelly-like, and they shrink into a ball when stimulated by high temperatures.
He took out the meat of the snail and removed the internal organs, then put it in the refrigerator, and the rest of the time was to smash the shell.
At noon, Ao Fugui came to see the excitement: "Yangzi, Dapeng said that you got some scavenging snails? β
Opening the snail shell for the snail is a bit of a gambling feeling, which is quite exciting.
Ao Muyang stopped him and said, "No need, I'm also a virgin, and my luck is as good." β
"Two virgins. Ao Fugui sneered, "It's heartbroken, Lao Tie." β
The snail shell is hard, and it is not easy to deal with the conch shell that grows over time.
Ao Muyang took a file, he had to frustrate the snail shell first, to see the situation inside, this is similar to the principle of gambling stones, when gambling stones, you must first cut a layer of stone skin, which is called 'opening the window'.
He quickly smashed the snail shell around, Ao Fugui sprinkled water on it, and then shook his head: "It's nothing." β
Ao Muyang changed the hand grinder, and after plugging in the power, the sharpener whistled, and he held the hand grinder in the middle of the snail shell, and with the splash of stone powder, the snail shell was gradually divided into two halves.
Nothing!
Ao Muyang raised it up and looked at the sun, Ao Fugui said: "Don't look at it, there is no ball, deal with it boldly." β
After speaking, he took the snail shell and knocked it with a small hammer: "Bang bang bang!"
The snail shell was smashed to pieces, and there was no trace of red coral.
Seeing this, Ao Muyang began to be disappointed.
Snails are very interesting, they are gregarious, and when they find something of interest, they will snatch each other and stick it to their shells.
These conches come from a group, and if they have ever encountered red coral, they should have almost a few red coral fragments in their shells.
There was no hope in his heart, so Ao Muyang became lazy.
Ao Fugui was interested in this kind of thing, and pushed him away to take over control of the conch.
He didn't clean it up with a file, and went straight to the hand grinder.
As the big snail shell was divided into two parts, he suddenly shouted: "Haha, haha, I'll just say I'm luckyβhey, sheep, you're definitely not a virgin anymore, you must have been dealt with by a woman!"
". Ao Muyang leaned in to take a look, he didn't see red coral, but saw a small stone like egg yolk.
This small stone has a bright yellow color and a translucent texture, and the sun shines on it to emit a soft light, which looks beautiful.
"Beeswax!" Ao Muyang was suddenly surprised.
This thing was found in the sea, but it was not very common, but they did not expect to find it in the shell of the snail snail.
The beeswax found by Ao Fugui is not small, and it is worth thousands of pieces.
