581. Touching the Coral Reef (6/10)
There are four more chapters, whoa, drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself and keep dry! ****
Spring is very suitable for basking in the sun, the sun is not hot at noon, Qin Shiou is sitting on the beach, with Mao Weilong next to him, and there are several empty beer cans around the two of them.
Occasionally, when the sea breeze is a little stronger, empty beer cans will blow all over the ground, and then tigers and leopards will excitedly pounce on them to compete for beer cans.
Qin Shiou didn't eat lunch at lunch, Winnie went to the town to buy two freshly baked pizzas, and let the children eat them with the tigers and leopards, and when they were full, Qin Shiou went into the water to try that the sea water was not cold, so he took the seven children to the sea water.
The low tide brings the reef closer to the surface, and if the water recedes another five or six meters, the reef will be exposed, and even then, the reef is very close to the water, and in some places there are small lotus spots showing sharp corners.
The coral reef that the Poseidon energy focuses on feeding is gorgeous, and the sun shines on it through the clear water, and the Ambilight is shining, and there is a kind of beauty of flowers blooming brightly.
Visible coral polyps seize the opportunity to get closer to the surface and try to absorb the warm sun, the surrounding seaweed stretches its leaves, and some small fish and shrimp roam freely on the reef, unaware that they are only half a step away from being abandoned by Mother Ocean.
Qin Shiou is also the first time to look at these coral reefs with the naked eye, although it is not as clear as seeing it with the consciousness of the sea god, but there is another thing through the sea: a kind of beauty.
The crystal water is slowly fluctuating by the sea breeze, so that the coral reef seems to be swaying slightly from side to side, and the polyps quickly wriggle the small tentacles around their mouthparts, grabbing the zooplankton brought by the waves and stuffing them into their mouths. Take the opportunity to eat a full meal.
Despite the fact that polyps are beautiful and delicate, they actually have stinging cells everywhere. Once the stinging cells are stimulated, they turn out the spiny sac, which has a paralyzing effect. It is their means of capturing zooplankton and protecting themselves.
Polyps are the main body and soft-mollusk of corals, and they constantly capture food and provide energy to the osteogenic cells in the ectoderm, allowing it to absorb calcium ions from the water and combine with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. Their cells then release aragonite, a carbonate mineral, which gradually forms bones that support the reef.
Just on the periphery of these reefs, some destroyers such as clams, rock clams, clams, and open-belly clams are surviving.
Qin Shiou pinched a razor clam about the thickness of his middle finger and said, "Look, these things will destroy our coral reefs, so we have to fish them all out." In addition, this thing is delicious, can I cook it for you at night? ”
"Where's the scallops?" Michelle asked reluctantly.
Qin Shiou found a large open-belly clam and handed it to Michelle. Hehe smiled: "This is also a scallop, isn't it?" ”
Michelle said with some disappointment: "But it's too ugly, isn't it?" ”
Shirley picked up a triangular wedge-shaped mussel and showed it to Michelle, and said, "You can't ask too much, look, Qin's mussel is better than this?" ”
Qin Shiou took a look, and what the big Lori found was a bivalve shell, its shell was large and thin, with a sharp front and a wide back, like a small fan. The shell has radial ribs on the surface, and its color is black-brown, which does look ugly.
But this stuff is delicious. So he was surprised and asked: "This is Jiang Yao, my dear, it tastes great, there is a saying in my hometown called 'sea cucumber abalone Jiang Yaobei'." It's a top-notch shellfish. ”
While explaining, Qin Shiou looked around, and soon saw Jiang Yao's figure.
These shellfish foot filaments are hair-like. It lives with the tip of its shell inserted upright into the sediment and anchors the seabed with filaments. Because it looks like a reef, if it weren't for Shirley. He hadn't found out yet.
It is much easier to find it after noticing that there is a Jiangjiao, and in some places the Jiangjiao are gathered in small groups, and they grow upside down on the seabed, looking as if they are a pocket stone forest at the bottom of the sea.
When they heard that it was delicious, Shaq and Krakensen set out to catch it, but Qin Shiou stopped them and asked them to fish for razor clams and all kinds of clams on the scallops first, which would destroy the coral reef.
As for Jiang Jue, they don't have to deal with it in a hurry, they are not interested in coral reefs, they just like to live in symbiosis with large open clams, let them go first, and then come back to fish when they want to eat in the future, anyway, in shallow sea waters.
Qin Shiou called the pineapple over and looked at the children, it is a master of diving swimming, even if a child accidentally falls into a place in deep water, the pineapple can be brought up, who makes it swim strong and powerful?
The children carried a small plastic bucket in their hands, constantly picking up these clams, Qin Shiou found a big bucket, and whenever someone's small plastic bucket was full, he went over to collect it.
Clams are large and small, the big ones are the size of the mouth of the sea bowl, and the small ones are like thumb nails, each with its own way of eating.
Qin Shiou asked the children to collect it as long as they found it, regardless of size, even if they couldn't eat it, they couldn't stay here to damage the coral reef.
After collecting two large buckets, the children finally got tired of playing, and they all had a catch, there are always beautiful individuals in the clams, these things have different appearances, and the lines on them are strange, and some can form abstract patterns.
Then the children were happy, and when Michelle found a large heart-shaped stone clam, she forgot about the frustration of losing the two yellow mussels, and raised them in her hands and shouted.
After playing enough, Qin Shiou took them ashore, and then called them to him and said, "Come, guys, now let's talk about scallops, scallops won't be lost, right?" ”
Big Lori said very positively: "Yes, it won't be lost!" ”
"And where did they go?" Qin Shiou looked at a few children, "I don't ask who took it, because everyone will make some mistakes." But you have to remember that don't take away what is not your own, if you want to get it, then you have to work hard like now, and what you gain in this way is your own, understand? ”
A group of children nodded, someone wanted to say something, Qin Shiou waved his hand to tell them not to speak and continued: "I will let Duoduo stay in my room tonight, whoever takes it will go to her and hand it to her, she won't say it, right?" ”
Shirley spread her hands and said, "That's the best idea." ”
Qin Shiou went ashore, Winnie came up to hug him and gave him a deep kiss, and said affectionately: "You did a great job today, I think you will educate our little baby to be a good person in the future." ”
"First of all, we have to fight to make a baby." Qin Shiou said with a smile, "First of all, we have to get married first, we can't marry our sons, right?" ”
Winnie laughed when she heard what he said funny, but she had a different opinion: "I don't want to marry you so alone, we will marry after we have two children, and it will be beautiful when we take their hands and walk into the church." ”
Qin Shiou blinked and asked, "You're not serious, are you?" ”
Winnie said of course, "Isn't that bad?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, damn it, our national conditions are different, if his father and mother knew that he would not get married if he had children, he would probably be able to tear him up and eat him with dipping sauce. (To be continued......) R1292
