Chapter 238: A Starfish in One Step to the Stomach
In this way, Li Xiaofeng took his little niece to play on the beach while catching the sea. Although the two of them didn't gain much, no one cared, and they left a crisp laugh of Xiao Nuomi along the way.
Xiao Nuomi's eyes are indeed very good, and he has seen a lot of seafood along the way.
Since she didn't know her, every time she saw something, she would call Li Xiaofeng. Helplessly, although she found many things, many of them were of little value.
Li Xiaofeng came to catch the sea today purely to play with his little niece, so he also cared about the amount of fish. Whenever Xiao Nuomi finds something, he will give her a careful introduction, which can be regarded as a kind of edutainment.
After about half an hour, there was only one more octopus, a few conchs and two red crabs in the buckets of the two people.
"Uncle, uncle, look, there are a lot of Patricks over there!"
At this time, Li Xiaofeng, who was lowering his head and competing with a blue crab, suddenly heard the happy shouts of the little niece next to him.
Li Xiaofeng looked in the direction of his little niece's finger and found that the beach not far away was covered with orange starfish.
The little guy probably had seen starfish in cartoons before, and called them Patrick.
Starfish, also known as star fish, are echinoderms along with sea urchins and sea cucumbers.
Starfish generally have five brachiopods and a flattened body, mostly star-shaped, so they are called starfish.
But not all starfish have five brachiopods, some have four or six brachiopods, and there is even a starfish called Ju Starfish, which has as many as fifty brachiopods!
Usually the starfish we see are like Li Xiaofeng and the others today, motionless or slow.
But don't look at this guy with a bad look, but who would have thought that it would be a very fierce carnivore. It preys on slow-moving creatures such as shellfish, sea urchins, and sea anemones, as well as agile animals such as crabs.
The starfish moves and hunts by relying on the dense tubular feet on its body, and because it moves slowly, it generally adopts a slow and circuitous strategy.
It first slowly approaches its prey, then suddenly catches it with its tube feet on its wrist and holds it with its whole body, at which point it spits out the stomach pouch from its mouth, wraps around the prey, and uses the digestive enzymes in it to dissolve and absorb the prey in the stomach.
Good guys, this way of eating can really be called a one-step to the stomach!
In addition, the starfish also have a special ability that has to be mentioned - regeneration!
No matter which part of the starfish's body is injured, it can quickly regrow, of course, if it's just like this, it doesn't seem to be anything special, after all, this ability, many other creatures also have it.
The key is that when any part of the starfish's body is cut open, it can grow into a new starfish independently, which is not ordinary, and can even be called immortality in another sense!
Li Xiaofeng happily stepped forward, picked up all these starfish in the bucket, and prepared to take them back to steam and eat at noon. Speaking of which, since there are not many places where this thing can be eaten, Li Xiaofeng has not eaten them for a long time.
Xiao Nuomi was also very happy to see so many beautiful Pai Da stars in the bucket.
After picking up the starfish, Li Xiaofeng took Xiao Nuomi and continued to walk forward, and after a while, the two of them picked up a few conch and an octopus.
Speaking of which, the two of them really had a miserable harvest, but the two of them were interested.
After walking forward for a while, Li Xiaofeng and Xiao Nuomi met Li Yonglin and Li Xiaomei, who were rushing to the sea with great interest.
Li Xiaomei first looked at the harvest in Li Xiaofeng's bucket, then glanced at the two of them with disdain, and said, "You two picked up this little thing in half a day!"
Then Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything, but Xiao Nuomi was not happy, she said angrily: "My grandfather must have picked it up in my mother's bucket, and I found it in my uncle's bucket."
Didn't expect this little guy
The competitive spirit is still very strong, and it made a few adults laugh at once.
After laughing, Li Xiaofeng also said to Li Xiaomei, "Indeed, most of the people in this bucket were found by our little glutinous rice classmates, including these beautiful pie stars!"
It wasn't until her grandfather and mother praised her that Xiao Nuomi had a smile on her face, and then happily said to Li Yonglin and Li Xiaomei, "Grandpa, Mom, I got to know a lot of things just now!"
Then she learned and sold some of the seafood that Li Xiaofeng had just introduced to her, and repeated it with Li Yonglin and Li Xiaomei, and the two of them naturally praised her again, which made her face feel like a flower.
The group played on the beach until almost eleven o'clock, and then went back together, and everyone actually didn't get a good harvest, and they picked up most of the buckets in total.
After returning home, after Xiao Nuomi saw the little bun, she began to run around chasing it in the yard, but the little bun was not lightly annoyed. Speaking of which, Xiao Nuomi is now the age of naughty.
In the kitchen, Li Xiaofeng pointed to the starfish in the bucket and said, "Mom, you steamed these starfish at noon, I haven't eaten them for a long time!"
"Okay, I'll steam them at noon!" Liu Xuexia said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we really haven't eaten starfish for a long time."
Then when Xiao Nuomi was tired of playing in the yard, and when she went to the kitchen and saw that her big stars were steamed in the pot, she cried sadly, and said while crying, "Uncle is a bad person, I won't play with you in the future!"
This made Li Xiaofeng, Liu Xuexia and Li Xiaomei in the kitchen cry and laugh, and finally coaxed her well.
After waiting for these starfish to be steamed, Li Xiaofeng deliberately took out one, broke the rough skin, and ate the starfish seeds in front of her.
But speaking of which, the taste of this starfish seed is salty and salty, and it is indeed not bad, and then he dipped it in a little hoisin sauce, and the taste is even better.
Seeing his uncle eating Pai Daxing in front of him, Xiao Nuomi wanted to cry again at first. But seeing that her uncle seemed to be eating quite deliciously, she couldn't help but look at it secretly, and then couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Several people in the room looked at her greedy and embarrassed, and burst into laughter.
However, Li Xiaofeng didn't dare to tease her too hard, in case he made this little guy cry again, it would be troublesome to coax her.
So Li Xiaofeng also simply broke the wrist and foot of a starfish, revealing the starfish seeds inside and handed them to the little guy who was swallowing saliva.
Xiao Nuomi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but take it, then took a bite, then the second bite, and then the more she ate, the more fragrant it became, where was she still a little sad just now!
