However, he has heard that the taste of ship maggots is similar to that of razor clams and squid whiskers, close to mussels, and also contains the aroma of steamed grouper fish oil. It is soft and tender, with a little sweetness. An uncomfortably evil residue.
but…
Hehe~ That test in my heart is not easy.
Ye Yaosheng also squatted down to imitate him. He found a hole and buckled a few times, but only a piece of sawdust was picked out, and there was no sign of the shipworm.
He doesn't know the value of sea chicken feet, those shelled ones are not attractive to him, not as good as shipworms...
"We still have to wait until we go back. Take an ax and hack it. If you pick it up like this, you won't be able to get it out."
"Before we reach the place, first pry off the sea chicken feet in the outer circle."
When he dunked the hole, Ye Yaodong had already stretched out his hand and broke several holes.
Ye Yaosheng also knows that the sea chicken feet he refers to refer to the barnacles on the edge and side of the hull, "I'll get two screwdrivers."
"In the toolbox in the cabin."
"I know."
Ye Yaodong also went to the side to get a bucket and prepared to fill it later.
According to his visual inspection, all of them were deducted, and it was estimated that there was only one bucket full, about ten catties or so.
Because there are also empty shells on the top, there will be more spat and reticulated barnacles growing on the bottom of the boat, and there are only a few in the boat.
Manpower is inferior to tools. The reason why humans evolve into advanced animals is that they can use tools.
It is much more convenient and efficient to pry it with a screwdriver, and there is a constant sound of thumping in the bucket.
When Father Ye was sailing the boat, besides looking ahead, he would turn his head from time to time to watch them busy, a little itchy. The guy named Haijijiao had heard Dongzi say that he was worth a lot, and he sold it for a lot of money. Do you know how much can be dug down?
Last month, I had no income for the whole month, and I was lying at home all the time. It just cleared up recently. Fortunately, Dongzi made a lot of money selling dried fish a few years ago. I heard that the business is not bad recently, otherwise he should sit for him. Can't stop.
The final payment of the ship is 8000!
I don’t know how much cash he still has on hand. Some time ago, when I was so worried about him that I couldn’t sleep, I secretly calculated it with his mother in private, and felt that he didn’t owe much, so I felt more at ease.
Thinking that there is still a year or two to go, if he doesn't mess around with other things, even if he can't make as much money as last year, he will definitely be able to get in. Today's sea chicken feet are another additional income subsidy.
Take the time to talk to him, he can’t toss about anymore, he’s earning enough now, and he can just catch fish and dry the fish peacefully.
Ye Yaodong was prying there with a screwdriver, but the boat was so rotten, he didn't dig a few times, and a large piece of wood was dug out together with the shells.
As soon as he took it in his hand, he saw a white figure wriggling in the hole.
There is a small shell on its tail and feet, which is very inconspicuous. People who pay attention to it will have to spit it out. Of course, eating it can also supplement calcium.
"There are really shipworms!"
He reached in with a screwdriver, picked out the moving shipworm, hung it on the screwdriver, and handed it to Ye Yaosheng.
"Your dinner, appetizers! It's quite big. Would you like to have a raw sip, the original taste?"
Ye Yaosheng opened his eyes wide, "Eat raw???"
"Can't seafood be eaten raw? Try it? Swipe and inhale, and you'll have a mouthful of pulp!"
Ye Yaosheng looked at the shipworm that was almost reaching his mouth, couldn't help taking a step back, his scalp was numb, even if he had a heavy mouth, he couldn't bear to eat it raw...
He also burst into mouthfuls, Dongzi is too scary!
This is not a sea oyster oyster, and I swallowed it in one bite...
"No, no, no... how can this be eaten raw? This has to be fried..."
"Why not? Otherwise, I'll wash it in fresh water for you? Don't you like it?"
This raw food is a tribute to the creator, and the cold salad is a eulogy to nature!
"It must be cooked! Throw it on the boat, and I will split the boat and dig it when I get back."
Ye Yaosheng slapped his arm, and the shipworm hanging from the screwdriver fell directly onto the boat, and he immediately felt relieved.
How can this stuff be eaten raw? Thankfully he figured it out.
"Would you like to eat one for me, sir?" Ye Yaosheng saw that he was laughing so wildly, so he picked up the shipworm that was digging a hole on the boat again, and sent it to him.
Ye Yaodong looked at the shipworm that was almost approaching his mouth, his pupils constricted, he hurriedly covered his mouth in a panic, and slapped his hand away.
"Do you want to be so disgusting?"
"Didn't you say it was eaten raw?"
"Where? I'm taking care of you. I don't want to eat this disgusting thing. Stir-fried leeks with sea silkworms are much better than this."
“Everything has its own taste.”
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, it should be said that personal tastes are different.
After scaring each other, the two of them dug obediently and obediently. No one dared to make any more moths, and the shipworm was still drilling holes into the wooden boat.
In the era when boats are still mainly made of wood, if a small wooden boat is not regularly maintained and cleaned, it will leak, sink, and fall apart in a few years. The reason is basically because of this shipworm.
This boat must have been floating on the sea for a long time, the boat was rotten, the bottom was covered with all kinds of shells, and the inside was also occupied by shipworms.
However, he prefers that the boat is stuck in the crevice of the reef, which is why it has not been discovered. It has been raining a while ago, with a lot of rain, and the water level has risen, so it was washed out, and a lot of growths grew on it. sea chicken feet.
Those shipworms have existed on the earth for as long as the history of human civilization. Countless wooden ships have been ruined. Its gnawing has also spawned many strange shipwrecks.
There have been attempts to smear ship hulls with bitumen and wax a long time ago, as well as lead and tar, but for shipworms, they are all extra meals.
It was not until later people invented FRP and used it to wrap the bottom and keel of the ship that the damage of shipworms to the ship was significantly slowed down.
Some people also painted a layer of red paint containing highly toxic substances cuprous oxide and mercury oxide on the bottom of the ship, which completely solved the problem of marine organisms parasitic on the hull.
But as time goes by, more and more marine parasites have gradually adapted to this toxicity and have evolved corresponding resistance to toxicity. Barnacles like barnacles still need to be removed manually, but the barnacle spats growing under the red paint are Inedible, poisonous to paint.
And shipworms are even more immortal. They can't be killed, can't be eliminated, and can't be eaten, which makes people angry and greedy.
An iron boat is a health club for shipworms, not to mention a wooden boat is simply their spa.
Shipworms can secrete an enzyme that can digest wood, and they can seriously damage wooden equipment such as stakes and wooden boats.
Once the whole piece of wood, or the whole boat and the whole stake is occupied by them, it will become their comfortable home and sweet cake, and the problems of food and housing will be solved together.
This enzyme is slightly corrosive to metals, and some very hungry shipworms can even eat rocks.
Eat rocks, pull sand, return to the basics and make pies, but provide necessary help to the human building materials market.
The body length of common shipworms is 2-3 centimeters longer, and the king maggots under some large ships can grow to more than 1 meter.
It’s not justified if you don’t want to eat it, it’s because of its name~
Otherwise, the Chinese can eat it and breed it!
The two of them will only dig sea chicken feet first, and don't worry about other shellfish.
Some of the busy work didn't feel how cold the sea breeze was blowing, but the ears were a little cold and red, but other things were fine.
However, Ye Yaosheng's hand holding the screwdriver was exposed outside, and it looked like he had frostbite, each root was red and swollen almost as thick as a sausage.
Originally when a man does rough work, his knuckles are big, and his hand feels like a glove can't fit in it.
"Do you wash your clothes by yourself?"
Ye Yaosheng was stunned when he heard him asking about washing clothes, feeling a little baffled, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, wait for the second uncle to cancel the marriage for you, I will lend you some money, and you can build a small wooden boat to catch fish?"
"Huh? No need, no need to borrow me, I don't need it urgently, just work slowly and save money."
It's rare that he showed mercy and wanted to help, but he refused?
Ye Yaosheng smiled and said: "I'm not so poor that I have to borrow money. I don't have any urgent needs, so I don't need you to borrow money."
"Isn't this trying to help you?"
"Don't listen to my father, my father just likes to plan a little bit, and his heart is not bad..."
"Am I someone who can listen to your father? Which relative doesn't think he needs help? I just think it's not easy for you."
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, I have hands and feet, and I'm stronger than many people. It's good to earn money slowly. I owe people money, and I don't feel at ease."
Ye Yaodong really looked at him with admiration, good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo?
