Ao Muyang stuffed the fish meat into his mouth with a fork, the fishy smell was almost inherent, but the gravy was roasted, and the delicious taste was combined with cumin powder and pepper and salt, and the combined fragrance made people appetizing.

Zhu Zhu and the sixth sister also ate happily, but one was a small bite to taste, and the other was a gobble.

The sixth sister eats more arrogantly than the general, almost stuffing it into her throat!

Ao Muyang had to pour her drinks continuously: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, the dishes here are enough for us to eat." ”

The two grass carp are big fish, with a total of twenty catties, and the yellow and spicy dices are large and small, and the big ones are also twenty centimeters long, Ao Muyang also stewed two, and an adult and two girls can't eat it at all.

But this is just his guess, the sixth sister is really edible!

She ate all the charcoal-grilled grass carp, and she also drank the yellow and spicy fish soup, and even ate the green onions, ginger and garlic inside.

She didn't eat it, not because she couldn't eat it, but said, "If you don't eat it, can I take it away?" ”

Ao Muyang helped her pack: "Okay, you can take it back." ”

Zhu Zhu stuffed all the remaining snacks to her: "And these, and these, all for you, you can take them back to your sister." ”

The sixth sister silently packed up her things and left with the fishing rod.

It was hot at noon, and Ao Muyang returned home to take a nap in the shade of the tree.

As soon as he woke up, a family in the village who was engaged in seafood farming knocked on the door: "Village chief, is Uncle Bing at home? ”

Sea crickets seem to be crickets in the sea from the name, but in fact this is not the case, there is no connection between the two, sea crickets are the common name for barnacles, and barnacles are a type of shellfish.

Barnacles are a good thing, they are widely distributed, and can be found in the shallow waters of the intertidal zone to the subtidal zone in almost any sea, and these shellfish are abundant and often live together, and the barnacles are the only sedentary animals among the arthropods.

Cultivating barnacles is as simple as finding a place with good water quality and stocking barnacle seedlings on the reef, and they will eventually stay on the reef and grow slowly.

However, the barnacles to be cultivated are not the kind that can be seen everywhere, but special barnacles introduced from Spain and other countries.

With the improvement of people's living standards in China, some high-end seafood began to appear on the dinner table, and special barnacles are one of them.

Barnacles from Spain and Europe are very expensive, and a dish can be sold for thousands of dollars in a big hotel, which is amazingly expensive, and of course the taste is amazing.

The old man Ao Zhibing, who was cleaning up the golden eels in the breeding pond, wiped his hands and stood up: "Xiaotao, why did you suddenly want to raise sea crickets on a whim? I haven't seen much of this thing, foreigners' goods." ”

Ao Mingtao sneered: "Isn't that what, there are more tourists in our village now, I think there will be more tourists after the road is built in the future, there must be some rich people who come to us, and some sea crickets can be sold for a lot of money, this thing is delicious and novel, right?"

Ao Zhibing said: "It's really novel enough, let's go, I'll go with you to see, this thing is expensive, it's not easy to raise, and it has high requirements for water quality." ”

Ao Mingtao explained as he walked: "The water quality outside our village is quite good, I want to try it, anyway, the price of sea cricket seedlings is not expensive." ”

Hearing this, Ao Zhibing's footsteps slowed down suddenly, and he asked, "Seedlings are not expensive, where did you buy them, and how much does it cost?"

Ao Mingtao said: "1,000 yuan and 5,000 seedlings, I and the brothers Erdeng and Sandeng paid 20,000 yuan to buy 100,000 seedlings, and under normal circumstances, we can produce 10,000 catties of sea crickets in two years, so it's okay to sell them for 450,000 yuan, right?"

Ao Zhibing's face was not good-looking, and he said: "If you can really produce 10,000 catties of sea crickets, let alone 450,000 or 500,000, even one or two million is no problem, but the seedlings of ocean crickets are all imported, and the tax of 100,000 seedlings alone is more than 50,000 yuan, right?"

Ao Mingtao became nervous when he heard him say this, and said: "You always say that I have met a liar? No, we are a business that is contacted by friends, and people also say that they will come back to harvest when the seedlings grow." ”

"Let's go check it out first. Ao Zhibing's brows furrowed a little.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ao Muyang followed.

Zhu Zhu was his little tail, and when he saw him and the general leaving, he hurriedly took her small schoolbag and followed.

On the way, she asked, "Uncle Yang, what is a sea cricket?

Ao Muyang shook his head: "No, it is a shellfish, and its scientific name is barnacle." ”

Zhu Zhu immediately nodded: "Oh, barnacles, I know this, we have a lot of miles in the shipyard, they are annoying, they will always lie on the bottom of the ship, it is very troublesome to clean up, my mother hates them the most, saying that they are ship vampires." ”

These barnacles are worthless native barnacles, which can be found on many islands wherever there is a reef, and they can adhere to the reef and the bottom of the ship, and once attached, it is difficult to detach from it.

However, it is still quite rare in these places in Longtou Village, because the local water quality was not suitable for barnacles to survive a long time ago, and they have few reefs and many beaches here, so barnacles cannot survive on the beach.

Ao Muyang asked, "Little pig, do you know what these barnacles look like?"

Zhu Zhu smiled: "I don't only know them, I also know their origins, Uncle Yang, do you know?"

Ao Muyang was stunned: "Where do barnacles come from?"

Zhu Zhu said seriously: "A long, long time ago, the little princess of the Dragon King's family wanted to go ashore to enjoy the scenery of the world, but the Dragon King was worried that the reef on the shore was too slippery and would damage the little princess, so he ordered to recruit a threshold stone in the aquarium and lay it on the reef for the Dragon King Princess. ”

"Lord Long said, who can take on this heavy responsibility, in the future, the reef can come and go, and there is no need to be controlled. The aquarists always complain that the underwater days are too dull, and there is such a good opportunity, they are all vying to sign up, and the competition is fierce......"

Hearing her words, Ao Muyang couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be a legendary story.

He saw that Zhu Zhu was talking energetically, so he listened patiently.

In this way, Zhu Zhu said more energetically: "The dragon head fish was the first to take the test with the word 'dragon', and they lay on the reef one by one, letting the dragon princess step on it." But the dragon head fish are pampered and weak on weekdays, and the dragon king princess stepped on it and only walked two steps, and they couldn't bear it, and they staggered one by one, making the dragon king princess fall down, angering the dragon king. ”

"The other aquarists went up to try it, but it didn't work at all, and finally barnacles stepped forward. Barnacles usually do chores in the imperial dining room of the Dragon Palace, and the broken wine cups and bowls are kept one by one, at this time they cover the broken wine cups and bowls on their bodies, and then attach them layer by layer to the reef, and the dragon princess stepped on them steadily, and easily went ashore ......"

From then on, the dragon king no longer controlled the barnacles, allowing them to grow freely on the reef, and they did not have to pay tribute to the dragon palace or go to the dragon palace to ask for peace, so that the barnacles were very lazy, and they would find a place to settle down at will, and then not move after settling down. ”
