Chapter 1512: Microsoft has no antitrust

The currents around here are a bit fast.

Anya pointed to the shore and signaled that she was going to shallow water, she was a little tired and couldn't see what was on the bottom of the sea.

The wind is not strong today, but the current has been carrying people into the sea, and although there are so many people following, it is better to be careful.

Anya hadn't swam for a long time, she couldn't keep up with her stamina, and it took time to get used to snorkeling again, and when she was in the Maldives, she was able to play for a long time.

Han Xuan made an OK gesture to Anya, saying that he knew, and when he breathed, a long string of bubbles came out of the respirator in his mouth, and he continued to dive.

Grabbed a sea cucumber wriggling on the coral reef, it felt slippery and soft, and it didn't feel very good, and I also picked up a few sea urchins and threw them into the net pocket together.

Hawaii is rich in fishery resources, and the local residents have taken fishing as a profession since ancient times, due to the excessive number of tourists, the seabed ecology of several nearby large islands has been destroyed, and on Niihau Island, it has remained the most primitive for hundreds of years, and the local residents do not like to catch fish with fishing nets, and the traditional fishing methods have little damage to the seabed ecology.

Looking at the Seventeen Mile Bay in central California, before the Monterey Bay Marine Conservation Area was built, trawling almost destroyed the coral ecology on the bottom of the sea, and it took a long time to recover.

The sun shines through the surface of the sea, sea anemones and corals grow very well, and there are dozens of species of reef fish living here, which are brightly colored and blend in with their surroundings......

At this time, Han Xuan saw a large plum ginseng, about one meter in length, the color of its body was slightly red, and it looked a little terrifying, and it crawled forward in the sand.

Not liking the color and the dense flesh thorns on its body, Han Xuan floated in the seawater, pointed to Owen, who was diving with him, and motioned for him to catch it.

Owen also hated sea cucumbers, but he was the only one who came with him, and he swam to the bottom of the sea very speechlessly, grabbed the plum ginseng, and writhed and struggled in his hands like a worm.

It looks ugly, but it's delicious to make food with this sea cucumber......

Just as he was about to go ashore with Owen to take a closer look at the rare super sea cucumber, Han Xuan unexpectedly saw a strange existence similar to a willow tree in the coral.

The color is yellow-green, and in some places it is black, and he knows what it is, and the aristocratic lords of Arabia like to wear it - black coral.

This two-metre-tall black coral tree is particularly beautiful, like a round fan, and it grows on a reef.

After swimming over, Han Xuan was ready to pick it off with a "spicy hand destroying flower", but the sucker of this coral, which was tightly glued to the stone, looked like a plant, but it was composed of a small anorectal animal.

Afraid of breaking it, Han Xuan stepped on the sand and tried to move the reef together, when suddenly a sea snake with a black top and a bright yellow belly came out from the side, and the direction was towards his face.

Owen, who saw this scene, just exploded, and then found that it broke into two in front of the little boss.

And Han Xuan was holding a dagger in his hand, and Owen didn't know when he took out the knife......

Time went back to a second ago, when Han Xuan reached out to touch this coral, he suddenly saw the long-snouted sea snake, which was the only sea snake that would infest the waters of Hawaii, and it was also frightened by Han Xuan, very aggressive.

All sea snakes were venomous, so they pulled out the dagger tied to the shank and slashed it down.

Therefore, it is still good to have a fast reflex nerve, even if he is bitten by it, even if he does not die, he will suffer a great sin, he has not been bitten by animals, but he does not know whether they will bite themselves after being frightened and losing their minds, and he is very afraid.

The snake was still writhing in two, unable to fall to the bottom of the sea, and the blood was scattered in the seawater, Owen was so frightened that he didn't even want plum ginseng, and quickly pulled the little boss and swam to the surface of the sea......

**********************************

Evening.

The waves are lapping on the beach one after another, and the tide has already begun to rise, and many small crabs have appeared on the beach.

The sun is about to set, and the sunset is dyed orange-red, and even the sea surface is the same color, with seagulls, coconut trees, and palm trees, and the scene is quite beautiful.

The oversized plum ginseng didn't run away after all, and the whole one was placed on the barbecue grill, and after being brushed with olive oil, it made a sizzling sound and wafted out an attractive fragrance, and it was about to ripen.

Such a large sea cucumber is quite rare, but there are also a lot of them, which are not precious, it doesn't matter if you eat them, and the coral tree that Han Xuan is fiddling with is much more precious.

In the afternoon, when they were back on board, they were ready to go into the water again, and finally got it ashore and were transported by boat to the west side of the island.

It was still very soft when it came out of the water, and it became hard after a while, Han Xuan spent more than an hour and Anya carefully using a soft-bristled brush to remove the attachments on its surface, and a very beautiful intact black coral tree appeared in front of them at this moment.

Han Xuan has a collection of many corals, including ancient blood-red corals, and when he heard Gabriel ask how much this coral tree is worth, he replied to him: "The quality is very good, if it is sent to auction, it can be sold for about 400,000 or 500,000 US dollars, mainly because of its beautiful shape, otherwise I would not have got it out of the seabed."

The polyps accumulate little by little, and it will take hundreds of years to pile up such a large number of bones, and the base has just cracked a small piece, and when I go back, I will ask a designer from Tiffany & Co. to help design a pendant with it, and the rest should be able to make a few rings.

Carry it to the room, just be careful, it's not so fragile, the smoke is drifting here, and the corals smell of barbecue.

Anya, can you eat it? ”

George and Secretary Dawson helped remove the coral trees, while Anya was busy barbecuing, and Han Xuan hugged her waist from behind.

With a smile on her face, Anya replied, "It should be fine."

I haven't roasted fresh sea cucumbers, you don't need to put salt, you can sprinkle some cumin and paprika, the big one may not be ripe, the small one is about the same. ”

Han Xuan cut a small piece of sea cucumber, sprinkled some cumin and chili pepper, poked it with a fork and put it in his mouth.

The sea cucumber itself is tender and not suitable for barbecue, so the large plum cucumber has shrunk to less than half a meter after roasting, and the small sea cucumber has shrunk to only a little bigger.

Grilled it over low heat, it tasted okay, gave Anya a thumbs up to encourage her, and turned her eyes to the almost ripe flounder.

There are people on the island who raise sheep, so there is also mutton used as a barbecue, a roasted whole sheep is sandwiched between the bamboo sticks, Secretary Shen is sitting next to him, sweating profusely and grabbing the wooden stick and rolling it, Secretary Dawson is distressed, let her go to the side to rest first, and the people who saw this scene laughed.

Had a nice barbecue by the sea, had nothing to do at night, went back to sleep after a stroll.

Most of the day is in a daze, and there is not much difference between the days.

After two days out hiking on Niihau, they rushed to the Honolulu airport on the morning of the 27th......
