Chapter 1369 1376. Oyster (2)
The yacht was sailing on the sea, and a manatee blocked their way. The manatee was lying on the sea basking in the sun, its huge and fat body floating on the sea, rippling slowly with the waves.
It noticed the approaching yacht but was not frightened.
Manatees are lazy by nature and naturally silly and bold. They are not afraid of people and boats. After coming to the sea outside Longtou Village, they come into contact with tourists almost every day, and they become more familiar with people and boats. When they see boats approaching, they not only do not avoid them, but also stretch their necks. I want to see if anyone throws food to it.
No one threw anything at it, but something flew towards it on its own.
When the yacht drove past it, I don't know what Lang Er was thinking, but he actually jumped on it with a run-up.
The belly of the manatee was very slippery, so Wolf Er fell on it and slid into the water. He thought he could scare the manatee, and he was very proud after falling into the water.
But the manatee thinks this is someone throwing food to it. Because manatees have a big appetite and the density of the seaweed they eat is small, some tourists throw seaweed to them in piles.
After Wolf Er fell into the water, he turned around and saw a big mouth coming towards him. The mouth was full of teeth, all neat teeth!
In this regard, manatees, like killer whales, constantly change their teeth throughout their lives. From birth to death, their teeth are as neat as if they had worn braces.
Wolf Er was so frightened that he tried to claw at his feet. After his head popped up, he wanted to jump to the sea surface and float on the water. However, this was impossible. He could only struggle with his eyes wide open in fear.
The manatee was startled by this gesture. It quickly understood that this was meat, not seaweed, and that it couldn't eat it, so it got into the water and swam away without interest.
Ao Muyang threw down a lifebuoy with a rope tied to it. Wolf Er held the lifebuoy with his two front paws and was dragged back. After getting on the boat, his face was full of frustration. He wanted to scare the manatee, but he was frightened by the manatee.
Lu Zhizi dragged it to the bow of the boat to dry its hair. After the boat sailed for a while, Ao Muyang went into the water to look for the fragrant snail.
When he saw him going into the water, Wolf Er couldn't stop himself. He had just dried his fur and jumped in after him.
The sea water is relatively clear, but the surrounding seashore is full of jagged rocks and rough waves crashing on the shore. There is no sea view, and the land is not used and is covered with weeds.
Marine farming cannot be done in such a place, and no tourists come, let alone people from the surrounding villages, so there are more good things underwater.
Ao Muyang searched around after entering the sea. The bottom of the sea was full of solid rocks like the seaside. He did not find the snails, but he found some oysters.
These oysters are attached to reefs in shallow seas, and they slowly open and close their shells to feed and breathe.
Oysters are filter feeders and feed mainly on small zooplankton, diatoms and organic detritus. They have cilia on their gills, and the vibrating cilia can produce small airflows in the water, allowing water to enter their gills and then hunt for food.
Wild oysters are good things. Ao Muyang surfaced and said, "There are oysters here. You can put on your diving suits and come down. The water is not deep and it is quite safe."
Sixth sister had already changed into a diving suit, but she folded her arms in front of her chest and refused to go into the water.
Ao Muyang asked: "Why don't you come down? Let's fish for oysters together."
Sixth sister said calmly: "Not interested."
Ao Muyang waved and said, "We just play together and do activities together. What's not interesting about this? Are you interested in learning?"
Sixth sister said: "Yes."
Ao Muyang still wanted to persuade him, but Liu Mei was annoyed: "Okay, I can get into the water, you go ahead."
Zhu Zhu rolled her hair and laughed and said, "Uncle Xiaoyang, I know why Sixth Sister doesn't want to go into the water."
Sixth Sister became furious: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you."
Ao Muyang reacted suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Is your period today? Then don't go into the water, and don't change into a diving suit. Be careful of catching a cold."
"You guessed wrong," Zhu Zhu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "it's Sixth Sister's breasts that have grown, and she's embarrassed to let others see them."
Halfway through her words, Sixth Sister shouted: "I'll beat you to death!"
Ao Muyang wanted to laugh along, but then he saw Lu Zhizi, so the hey he said on his lips was replaced by an awkward uh uh, and then he got into the water again.
There are quite a few oysters here, and they are considered a small group. It is probably that no one paid attention to this area, which allowed them to develop insignificantly and develop to this point.
The oysters are attached to the rocks on the seabed. To pick them off, you have to use a thick shovel to pry them off. Zhu Zhu pried off one in one breath and was very proud of it. This silly girl probably wanted to attract other people's attention and show off. For a moment, she forgot that she was in the sea, opened her mouth and took two gulps of water.
The sixth sister next to her quickly pulled her out of the sea, and then scolded: "What's wrong with you? You just open your mouth underwater, what are you sucking in?"
Wolf Er walked around the two of them, half of his mouth was sunk under the water, and half of his mouth was exposed, opening and closing, blowing bubbles out constantly, which was irritating to watch.
Liu Mei took a shovel and smacked it. This shovel was not a thin vegetable shovel, it was very thick. The smack of it made Lang Er drink several mouthfuls of water on the spot.
Zhu Zhu's eyes turned white because of the sea water, and she had to go back to the boat to drink water and rinse her mouth.
The taste of sea water is not good. She squatted on the bow of the boat and looked into the sea as if vomiting. Sixth sister asked coldly: "Are you pregnant?"
The little girl almost cried: "Do you have a conscience?"
Sixth sister said: "Why do I have no conscience? It's not me who got you pregnant. I'm here to take care of you and I still have no conscience?"
Ao Muyang came up with a bag of oysters and sighed, "I originally wanted to take you two out to sea for diving, but now I have to go out by myself."
Lu Zhizi asked, "Do you still have me in your eyes?"
Sixth sister then dived to get some oysters, which was enough to eat, so Lao Ao did not go into the water again. He asked Black Dragon to sail south to continue looking for conchs.
The offshore waters are really a dead place now. Things that were often encountered before are rarely found now. Ao Muyang searched for an afternoon but did not find the seven-layer conch.
This made him very frustrated, but fortunately he got some oysters, so he had something to eat at night.
After taking a break for most of the afternoon, Zhu Zhu came out of the shadow of the seawater filling her abdomen. When she saw Ao Muyang anchored at sea, she asked disappointedly: "Aren't we going to look for snails? Charcoal grilled snails, you said."
Ao Muyang said: "We can still grill them without snails. Come on, I'll make you an oyster dinner. We'll stay at sea tonight and go fishing at night. I'll help you find snails tomorrow morning."
Oysters are also good for charcoal grilling. He steamed the oysters, took them apart, shaved the meat off, put the soaked vermicelli and garlic on top, and sprinkled some oil on them. After grilling, they were still fragrant.
In addition, he made a roasted oyster roe. Fortunately, he caught enough oysters. Although there were only two simple dishes, they were enough to eat.
