Chapter 47: Starfish is coming

Xiao Peng lay in the hot spring and closed his eyes to observe the conditions of the bottom of the sea. Ye Yuli walked over with a basket: "Pengpeng, what do you want me to say about you? You stay in the hot spring every day on a hot day. I should say Will you enjoy it, or are you stupid?"
Xiao Peng laughed, "Don't care about the details. It's fine if you feel comfortable, sister Ye, don't you come down and bubble?"
Ye Yuli found a stone step and sat down: "Forget it, I didn't bring a swimsuit, let's talk about it when I come back to buy a swimsuit. Pengpeng, we will do nothing during this time? Nothing else, just The amount of gas we consume every day is a large sum. It is not a long-term solution to not make any money. Do you have any plans?"
Xiao Peng took out a bath towel and put it on him and walked out of the hot spring: "What? Sister Ye, isn't the current life like this bad?"
Ye Yuli sighed: "I have never lived so easily in my life as it is now. Life here is too leisurely, like a vacation."
"Then why are you so anxious?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Ye Yuli's face was sad: "I'm afraid that such a life will suddenly disappear, so I care about the development of Qianliyan."
Xiao Peng grinned: "Sister Ye, don't worry. Now the fishing ground is in the stage of recuperating and rejuvenating. Now fishing catches is killing chickens and getting eggs. I really don't have a chance to be so comfortable when I get the harvest."
Ye Yuli wanted to say something, but seeing Xiao Peng look confident, she withdrew the rest of the words.
"Sister Ye, what are you doing with this basket?" Xiao Peng was very concerned about the basket in Ye Yuli's hand.
"Secret." Ye Yuli smiled at Xiao Peng and turned away.
Seeing Ye Yuli's curvaceous figure walking, Xiao Peng swallowed: "How does this Nima look like a child like that! It's a fairy!"
Xiao Peng shook his head and lay back in the hot spring. He didn't know how the Jipinbao had survived. Xiao Peng contacted Mind Clone and went to see Ji Pinbao's life.
Jipin Abalone has been living in the reef group of macroalgae after arriving at the fishing ground. Xiao Peng has not paid much attention to them recently.
The Mind Clone had just arrived at Ji Pinbao's survival area, and the scene before him made Xiao Peng unable to lie down. Xiao Peng jumped out of the hot spring, put on his clothes, and ran all the way to the beach, where Yang Meng was still practicing Wu Qin Xi: "Mengzi, stop practicing, come to live!"
Yang Meng watched Xiao Peng running over: "What's the situation? So nervous?"
"Find all the scallop cages! Made, the starfish invaded!" Xiao Peng said angrily.
Starfish is the most representative type of echinoderms in structural physiology. By all accounts, sea cucumbers and sea urchins belong to its distant relatives.
The most common thorny sea pan in the Xiaopeng fishery is the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. It looks like a five-pointed star with a slightly raised back. It can be steamed and eaten, especially when the sea star seeds of the mother starfish are cooked, the taste is still good. But for all shellfish farmers, this starfish is a nightmare.
The food habit of starfish is complex, and they can eat almost anything, and their favorite is shellfish. A starfish can eat more than ten scallops a day, and abalone is their favorite food.
The most hateful thing is that starfish in adulthood have almost no natural enemies, only large conch, crabs, seagulls and otters occasionally prey on starfish. The reason for this is that the whole body of the starfish is made up of calcium bone plates. Even the shark with the best mouth is reluctant to eat starfish, it is too much trouble to eat.
The kelp forest not only attracted a large number of fish and molluscs, but also attracted these living ancestors, but also attracted many. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a devastating blow to Jipin Baoqun.
"Mengzi, get some Haihong, the more the better. There is no limit to life and death." Xiao Peng arranged the scallop cage and said to Yang Meng.
Without saying anything, Yang Meng picked up a handful of shovel and rushed to the reef area by the sea, shoveling down the sea rainbows growing on the reef piece by piece.
Haihong is a mussel with a black shell. Because the yield is large and it is not easy to preserve, it is usually cooked and processed into dry products, named mussels. This thing can be seen everywhere on the sea mark reef, is cheap and delicious shellfish seafood.
Although Haihong is cheap, the taste is really delicious. Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng to find mussels, just to attract starfish with mussels.
Xiao Peng smashed the mussel shells into pieces, and threw them into the scallop cage with the broken shells. After making preparations, Xiao Peng loaded all the scallop cages on the boat and sailed with Yang Meng to the area with dense starfish, and put the scallop cages into the water.
"What do you do next?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng stretched his hands helplessly: "Wait. I have done everything that should be done, and the rest is up to God."
"How do you know the starfish is coming?" Yang Meng said his question.
When Yang Meng asked, Xiao Peng's eyes stared: "You practice on the beach every day, so you can't see so many abalone shells floating around? The death of abalone on this scale can only show one problem, that is, the starfish is here!"
Yang Meng stretched out his thumb: "Xiao Peng, you are getting better and better, so experienced. Now you look like an old fisherman!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand to indicate a trivial matter. Fortunately, Yang Meng had a muscle in his head. This argument passed? Xiao Peng should really praise his wit.
In fact, Xiao Peng could dive into the bottom of the water to salvage all the starfishes. The problem is that there are at least a few thousand starfishes on the sea floor. Ye Yuli and the others can see that they suddenly brought back thousands of starfish. That is not easy to explain.
As for killing the starfish and throwing it back to the bottom of the sea? forget it. The regenerative ability of the starfish is extremely powerful. If the starfish is torn into several pieces and thrown into the sea, each piece will quickly regenerate the lost part. So as to become several complete new starfish!
Therefore, the best way is to fish them up and bring them to land for disposal.
It is precisely for this reason that Xiao Peng uses trapping methods to capture starfish.
Of course, relying on the dozens of scallop cages in Xiao Peng's hands, it would be unrealistic to catch these starfish clean. Xiao Peng was going to sneak into the bottom of the sea at night, and then fish on a large scale.
"Make a buoy and collect a wave tomorrow."
"okay."
When the two returned to Qianliyan, they saw Ye Yuli waiting for them at the dock: "Where did you go? Why did you leave me on the island without saying a word?"
Xiao Peng showed an apologetic expression: "Suddenly, Mengzi and I went to the fishing ground to get some scallop cages."
Ye Yuli had a complaining expression on her face: "As soon as I came back, I saw that there was no one on the island. I thought it was haunted, and it frightened me. If I didn't see a boat, I wanted to call for help. ."
Xiao Peng folded his hands together: "Sorry, sorry, there won't be another time."
Ye Yuli did not continue to investigate: "What did you do just now?"
"Don't mention it, I don't know where a lot of starfish came from in the fishing grounds. Starfish is a devastating existence for abalones, so Mengzi and I went to catch the starfish."
Ye Yuli was interested, "How to trap starfish?"
"Using Haihong, after breaking it, it can attract starfish to eat well." Xiao Peng replied.
Hearing the word Haihong, Ye Yuli seemed to think of something: "Go and get some sea oysters and Haihong. I'll make something delicious for you."
"It's easy to say, leave it to me." Yang Meng was happy when he heard the delicious food. I went to dig sea oysters and Haihong.
Sure enough, there were two more dishes for dinner, one was fried oyster yellow, the sea oyster was wrapped with eggs and fried into golden brown. Haihong made a Haihong seaweed egg soup.
"Where did the eggs come from?" Xiao Peng discovered the problem.
Ye Yuli smiled, as a magician took out an egg from her pocket, and the shell turned out to be light green. It looks more like the color of salted duck eggs than eggs. The chickens and ducks you raised have laid eggs. Going to the grass nest to pick up a circle can pick up half a basket.
"Those chickens and ducks are still alive?" Looking at Yang Meng's expression, he knew that Yang Meng had forgotten about his purchase of chickens and ducks.
Ye Yuli smiled and said, "Don't mention how much better life is. The hut on the other side of the lake is now a chicken and duck nest. They don't fight, and there is no shortage of food on the island. These little guys live naturally."
"Now it's all right, I'm not afraid of running out of eggs in the future." Xiao Peng smiled.
Ye Yuli nodded and said, "Well, I also marinated some salted duck eggs, which will be ready to eat in a few days."
"Sister Ye, it's nice to have you. It's a beautiful life!" Xiao Peng said with emotion.
Ye Yuli's face blushed after hearing this, "Hunboy, what are you talking about!"
Yang Meng was eating, and Yang Meng raised his head to look at Ye Yuli and Xiao Peng, with a smile on his face.
. . . . . .
At midnight, Xiao Peng took advantage of Yang Meng and Ye Yuli to fall asleep. I sneaked into the bottom of the sea. Although the scallop cage attracted a lot of starfish, it was insignificant compared to the total number of starfish in the fishery. Xiao Peng sighed, he still had to rely on himself. Looking at the abalone shell that was eaten by the starfish, Xiao Peng felt distressed. I got more motivated to catch the starfish. Busy till dawn, finally caught the starfish in the scallop cage.
Xiao Peng inspected again and made sure that there were no fish that had slipped through the net. Then he sneaked back to Qianliyan and lay back on the bed to catch up. This half night at the bottom of the sea can be regarded as exhausting Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng didn't rest long before Yang Meng came to smash the door. As a last resort, Xiao Peng could only get up from the bed again. Go to the sea with Yang Meng to retrieve the scallop cage.
The scallop cages full of starfish are very heavy and can only be carried one by one with a winch.
"Fuck, these starfish are too edible, right? This scallop cage is actually full?" Yang Meng was extremely surprised when he looked at the starfish that was picked up.
Xiao Peng was not surprised at all, this was all his handwriting: "Get in the cabin, there are still a lot of confiscated."
The two had been busy at sea for a long time, and finally received all the starfish.
When Ye Yuli saw a boat full of starfish, she was also shocked. "Why so many starfish?"
"Don't mention it, they almost ate up the abalone." Xiao Peng replied with a depressed look.
