The next day, they went around the sea for another half day, but they still did not find the snails.

Zhu Zhu was desperate and shouted: "Uncle Xiaoyang, I want a big snail, I want a big snail!"

Ao Muyang sighed: "There are no small ones, you still want to be big, what about dreaming?"

The sixth sister frowned and said: "The snails are just hard to find, I used to be very lucky to find a few small ones, and I haven't encountered the big ones yet." ”

Ao Muyang said: "Okay, I will definitely find you a big incense snail today!"

He called the market, and the market said that there must be snails here, and there are big ones, and the seven-layer snails are not like deep-sea snails, which have completed a breakthrough in artificial breeding technology.

Zhu Zhu was reluctant to hear this, she waved her hand and said: "I don't want this, what's the point of going to the market to buy it? I have my own money, I can go and buy everything." ”

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "Yo yo yo, don't be ashamed, do you know how many snails there are in the market? How much private money do you have to buy them all?"

Zhu Zhu said: "It's almost 10 million, can't you buy it?"

Ao Muyang was stunned: "RMB?"

"No, dollars. Zhu Zhu shrugged casually, "What's wrong?"

Ao Muyang's mouth opened as he asked, "Why do you have so much money?"

He thought for a while and smacked his lips and said, "It is worthy of being the richest woman in the red ocean, is this a rich daughter? No, this is the God of Wealth raising a daughter!"

Zhu Zhu said: "What nonsense are you talking about, the reason why I can have a deposit of 10 million US dollars has nothing to do with my mother. ”

Ao Muyang smiled: "How is it possible." ”

In addition to having a deposit of 10 million US dollars, I also have two courtyard houses in the third ring road of the capital and a villa of 1,600 square meters in Victoria Bay, Hong Kong. ”

Looking at Zhu Zhu's serious expression, Ao Muyang, who was gasping hard, was choked by the cold air at the end.

The sixth sister, who had always had an indifferent expression, couldn't help laughing, and Lu Zhizi said: "Comrade Ao, you have always been fooling people, and it is your turn to be fooled today?"

Ao Muyang sneered and said, "Zhu Zhu, you're not well-behaved, isn't this teasing me?"

Zhu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, it's just to tease you, there is nothing else to do anyway." ”

Saying that, her PLUS version of the bun showed a disappointed expression on her face: "This Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I specially asked my mother to send me to the village to find Uncle Xiaoyang, and I thought it would be an interesting holiday, but as a result, alas." ”

There was a gloomy look on her face—considering the size of her face, it was quite a disappointment.

Ao Muyang said: "You don't need to 'sigh', if you want to play, it's fun? Uncle Xiaoyang will take you to catch mud monkeys." You haven't seen mud monkeys, have you? There are monkeys hidden in the mud and sand on the beach, and they are about the size of their coat pockets and trouser pockets, and they are very mischievous. ”

Zhu Zhu asked hesitantly: "Are you talking about water monkeys? I heard Grandpa Song tell the story of water monkeys, which were brought to China by the Dongying devils when they were fighting, and they were called kappa in Dongying, and they would pull children underwater to be substitutes for the dead ghosts." ”

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "No, the mud monkey is very fun and cute." ”

Zhu Zhu was not stupid, she probably reacted, she stared at Ao Muyang suspiciously and said, "Uncle Xiaoyang, are you kidding me, right?

Ao Muyang suddenly laughed: "You can see it? It's really teasing you, the mud monkey is not a monkey, it is a kind of fish, called mudskipper." ”

Zhu Zhu hadn't heard of it either, so he asked, "What kind of fish is mudskipper?"

Ao Muyang said: "The fish that can spit, its spit is like hitting a slingshot, it is very powerful. ”

Zhu Zhu believed it this time, and she was stunned: "Really, there are such fun fish?"

"Hehe, fake, I'm teasing you too. Lao Ao smiled.

Zhu Zhu looked at the sixth sister, and the sixth sister said: "The mudskipper can climb trees, it is quite interesting, and there are also fish that can spit like a slingshot, but it is called a water shooting fish." ”

After the introduction, she said to Ao Muyang: "Is there still mudskipper in Hongyang? I haven't seen it for a long time, I used to catch it on the beach at low tide, and it was quite delicious." ”

There are many species of mudskipper, divided into two kinds of freshwater and seawater, there are about six species in China, most of them are marine mudskippers, they live on the coast of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, especially on the edge of the mangrove forest near the sea.

Hongyang Bay is the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and there are mudskippers living in it, and Ao Muyang took Jiang Caoqi and his party up the mountain to play when they encountered it the year before last.

He said: "Look for the forest along the seaside, absolutely. ”

In recent years, the government has been protecting mudskipper resources, mudskippers are not good-looking, but the meat is very delicate and delicious, and it is regarded as a good seafood in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In addition, the fish meat of mudskipper has medicinal properties, sweet and salty taste, and has the functions of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang, invigorating blood and relieving pain and detoxification.

Ao Muyang knew that the Fisheries Bureau of the Red Ocean would release a large number of mudskipper fry into the sea every year, some time ago he transferred a group of moray eels to the fishing grounds, and he asked Ao Zhibing to catch eel fry and hand them over to the Fisheries Bureau for stocking, at that time the Fisheries Bureau released a batch of mudskipper fry in the sea off Longtou Village, but the time is still short, they have not grown up, and they will not be able to meet them until the tide recedes next year.

Now the central government attaches great importance to environmental protection, and mangroves have begun to be planted on the seashores in many places, and the coastline resources around Qiantan Town are excellent, and they are all quite high-quality beaches, so they are not planted, but Ao Muyang knows that the coastline in some places is mostly mud swamps, and mangroves have been planted.

He asked the black dragon to adjust the direction of the yacht and sail towards the largest seaside forest belt in the Red Ocean, and after an hour and a half of driving, they saw a large area of woods in their eyes, all small trees gathered together, lush.

After seeing the woods by the sea, Ao Muyang did not rush to change to a small boat, he took out a telescope and searched carefully.

Zhu Zhu asked nervously, "Uncle Xiaoyang, have you seen the mud monkey?"

Ao Muyang said: "I'm not looking for mud monkeys. ”

"Why? What are you looking for?"

"The mud monkeys are too small, the largest is only about ten centimeters, how can they be found from such a distance?" Ao Muyang said, "I'm looking for the estuary tidal flats to see if there are any mud belts, and if I find this place, I will find the mud monkey's hometown." ”

Mud monkeys prefer to live on estuarine tidal flats with silt substrates, and they generally live on diatoms, occasionally ingesting protozoa and small shrimp and crabs.

He knew there must be mudskippers here, and it was June, and April to September was the breeding season for mudskippers, and now they were very active and easy to catch.

Every year, the Department of Fisheries releases mudskipper fry into such seaside woodlands and prohibits large-scale fishing, so there are many mudskippers in the area.

Artificially stocked and reproduced mudskippers can lay up to 10,000 eggs at a time, so that as long as artificial fishing and pollution are controlled, the fish population will quickly become large.
