Time flies quickly, more than a day has passed in the blink of an eye, and according to the ship's electronic charts, they are only one day's voyage away from Singapore, and they are expected to arrive in Singapore, the "garden country", around noon tomorrow.

During this time, they laid several nets, although there was no way to replicate the glory of the previous net, but on the whole, the harvest was not bad, as if they began to transfer after that net.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng knows that this is just a superficial phenomenon, and the real reason is that the fish resources in Philippine waters are much more abundant than in China.

Today, Li Xiaofeng slept until almost noon, and then got up slowly, mainly because he drove the boat all night last night, and did not rest until Meng Guangming changed shifts with him in the morning.

He was slowly getting dressed, when there was a sudden knock on the door ...... bang.

Li Xiaofeng stepped forward to open the door and took a look, and found that Han Minghua and Li Xiaoliang were standing at the door, and Li Xiaoliang was still carrying a bag of things in his hand.

"Fifth brother, you haven't eaten in the morning, and you're going to have lunch soon, I thought you should get up and eat too." Han Minghua said with a smile.

"Brother Feng, the two of us brought you some good things!" Before Li Xiaofeng could speak, Li Xiaoliang stood next to him and said with a wink.

"Come in!" Li Xiaofeng smiled and turned around to let the two people in.

The two of them were not polite to him when they entered the door, and each found a place to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, Li Xiaofeng took a bottle of Red Bull for each of them, and then said half-jokingly, "If the two of you want to give me gifts, you should also take less time, and now many people are in the dormitory during meal time, and everyone looks bad." ”

However, the two of them did not answer his words, but put the bag they had brought over on the table, and there they were laughing.

Seeing the two of them laughing so obscenely, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little strange, and after glancing at the black bag on the table, he couldn't help but ask, "What is in the bag that makes the two of you laugh so obscenely?" ”

Han Minghua said solemnly: "Fifth brother, you will know it after you open it yourself, it is definitely a good thing!" ”

Li Xiaoliang next to him was also snickering there, seeing this situation, Li Xiaofeng didn't speak, and stepped forward to open the black bag brought by the two people.

When I opened it, I saw that the bag contained some strange things with a body length of twenty or thirty centimeters, a head like a horse's head, a mouth like a long tube, a curled tail, a brownish-yellow body, and a whole body that looked like it was full of bones.

And these strange things have been dried, and they have been carefully tied into pairs with thin rope according to the shape of two pieces of about the same size.

"It turned out to be a seahorse, seeing that the two of you are mysterious, I thought you were sending me something rare." After reading it, Li Xiaofeng said with disdain.

Seahorse is a general term for a small fish in the family Hydrosauridae. Yes, you read that right, although this product doesn't look like a fish in the slightest, it doesn't look like a fish, but it does belong to a fish properly.

Seahorses are called because they have heads that resemble horses. But it's just that the shape of his head resembles a horse, and this guy is slow, and he doesn't have the agility of a horse at all.

Seahorses are also very poor at swimming in the water, relying on a small pair of fins on their backs that have degenerated, and they can move quickly, and when a wave comes, they may be washed away far away.

However, seahorses also seem to know that they are not good swimmers, so their longest hunting method is to wrap their curved tails around a seaweed, and then wait for their favorite copepods to come to their door.

Seahorses are also known as the "loving fathers" of the ocean, mainly because they are the only animals on Earth that have male offspring.

When a male and a female seahorse mate, the female seahorse will release the egg into the abdominal sac on the male seahorse's chest, and the male seahorse will release the sperm into the abdominal sac to fertilize the egg.

The fertilized eggs then remain in the abdominal sac of the male seahorse until they are formed, a process that usually lasts for 50-60 days, and finally the male seahorse discharges the developed baby hippocampus into the ocean.

Male seahorses can give birth to 600-700 calves in a single birth, but only a few of them can grow up in dangerous seas.

Around the seahorse, there are some interesting legends.

Long ago, people in the West believed that the souls of sailors who were still in trouble in the ocean would be trapped at the bottom of the sea, and only when the seahorses brought their souls to the underworld could the sailors' souls be laid to rest.

In a recent superhero movie, Seahorse appears as the mount of the king of the underwater kingdom, which is also quite popular.

In Japan in the East, seahorses are also called bastards of dragons, saying that they have half of the blood of dragons in their bodies, so they are classified into the family of sea dragons, but it is not known that seahorses are illegitimate with dragons and animals.

In China, seahorses are probably best known for their role in tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang, and because of this effect, they were once caught on the verge of extinction.

Now seahorses have even become national second-class protected animals, and they are no longer allowed to be sold and fished casually in China.

However, it is not allowed to be sold casually, but it does not mean that it cannot be sold, you must have a license, if you have this magic certificate, it seems that many animals that cannot be sold can be legally operated, such as red coral, and then hawksbill turtles and seahorses.

With the ban on fishing of wild seahorses along the coast of China, the price of seahorses is naturally rising, and now the price of a pound of dried seahorses has even reached seven or eight thousand yuan!

Seahorses are also often sold in pairs, two male seahorses and female seahorses of similar size are matched into a pair, and a pair of seahorses weighing about 10 grams can be sold for three or four hundred yuan.

Although it is not uncommon to say it, in fact, when he saw these seahorses in the bag, Li Xiaofeng was still a little moved in his heart.

This is not because of how expensive and rare these things are, but because he knows that the two of them must have put a lot of effort into it.

Because these seahorses are obviously carefully selected, they are all very large, and the colors are very good, and they are all specially matched into pairs, tied with red thread.

"Fifth brother, we caught these seahorses this morning, and after drying them in the morning, we sent them to you!" Han Minghua said with a smile, "You have worked hard in the past two days, this thing is very replenished." ”

Li Xiaoliang was also smiling beside him, revealing an expression that all men understand.
