    Qin Shiou didn¡¯t know much about gooseneck barnacles, but when he checked the common name of this thing online, he knew what it was about, it¡¯s a dog claw snail!

    When Qin Shiou was working at CNOOC, he once went to socialize with his boss and saw this thing. It looked ugly. Several shells were put together, like the claws of a monster.

    "But this thing is very expensive, and it is not produced in Haidao City. It is said to be airlifted from Spain. A dish with several snails cooked costs 2,000 yuan, which shocked Qin Shiou.  In addition, there were too many important people at the table and it was not his turn to eat. He just heard people comment that it was very fresh and delicious, and he was so greedy that he did not taste it.

    "We still have dog claw snails here? They are gooseneck barnacles." Qin Shiou asked in astonishment.

    Shaq shrugged and smiled: "Of course, there are a lot of them on the rocks on the west side of the island. We call them horse teeth, because they look like horse teeth."

    Qin Shiou checked the information again and found out that barnacles are widely distributed. They can be found in almost any sea area from the intertidal zone to the shallow subtidal zone. They are numerous and often live densely together.

    But this kind of barnacle is generally an inedible cone barnacle, and the gooseneck barnacle is relatively rare. Except for the coastline of Galicia, Spain, no trace of its large-scale growth has been found anywhere else.

    It seems that the Feng Shui here on Farewell Island is good, and there are actually gooseneck barnacles, which are relatively rare among barnacles.

    The price of this kind of barnacle is very high. In Europe, it is a delicacy comparable to caviar, tender foie gras, and bluefin tuna. One kilogram costs two to three hundred euros. Converted into RMB, one kilogram costs one thousand yuan!

    Recalling the praises the so-called ¡®VIPs¡¯ had given to the dog claw snails during the social gathering, Qin Shiou slapped his thigh and said, ¡°Hurry up, why didn¡¯t you tell me before that there was such a delicacy on our island?¡±

    Shaq explained: "Horse teeth grow on rocks, usually in shallow waters, and you have to dive to catch them. They have gum on their bodies, which makes them difficult to catch when they stick to the rocks. But now that there are wind and waves, those rocks are exposed.  , so that we can fish them out.¡±

    "In addition, the place where the horse teeth grow happens to be in the sea behind the two chemical plants. In the past, the gou's mother-in-law chemical plants did not let us get close. This time, the chemical plants got out, and we had the opportunity to fish."  Guai said cheerfully.

    The departure of the two chemical plants made the people of Farewell Town very happy. Until now, many days have passed, and the townspeople still raise their glasses and cheer when the chemical plants are mentioned.

    With lunch in hand, Qin Shiou quickly got in the car and prepared to catch gooseneck barnacles. The four children gathered alone at the door and looked at him. He waved his hand and shouted: "Come quickly, guys, there is seafood for lunch!"

    Shaq¡¯s big pickup truck led the way, and President No. 1 followed behind, and soon reached the west of the island.

    Steve Chemical Plant and Spring Chemical Plant have lost their former glory. There is not a soul in the huge factory area. The scenes of cars and boats passing by in the past have disappeared. The doors are closed and the population is sparse. There are only a few people watching.  The old man at the door stayed inside.

    Shaq parked the car at the gate of the factory in relief. The gatekeeper came out with the dog. Nelson held a sharp whaling knife in his hand and stared at the man with a gloomy face, which made the man tremble.  Without saying a word, he ran back again.

    The German blackbacks who were extremely active and ferocious during the last protest have also become honest. These guys are just dogs relying on human power. They seem to know that their master has lost power. Although they were brought to the door, they did not bark.

    "This knife is really good." Qin Shiou whistled after getting out of the car.

    The saber in Nelson¡¯s hand was about 256 centimeters long, with the handle and the blade being about the same length. The blade shone with a cold light and had a ferocious appearance. It looked like a murder weapon at first glance.

    Hearing Qin Shiou's praise, Nelson smiled and said: "This is the extreme force whaling fork saber. It is a good knife. The blade is made of 420j2 steel with a hardness of 57hrc. It was the standard saber when I was in the emergency special forces.  , perfect for collecting horse teeth.¡±

    Although gooseneck barnacles have a delicious taste and do not move, they also have their own way of survival, which is to grow on rocks with strong winds and waves.  Because they can cling tightly to the reef, ordinary fish cannot catch them.

    However, gooseneck barnacles still have natural enemies, and that is seagulls, sea elves that can travel through wind and waves.

    Behind the chemical plant is a steep coastline. The ground is six or seven meters away from the sea. The rugged rocks below form a continuous line, which looks extremely dangerous.

    The strong wind blows the waves and hits the coast, making a loud "pop" sound. Sometimes when you look down, you can feel the sea water splashing on your face.??Icy.

    Gooseneck barnacles live on the rocks below, and some also live on the coast. Today, Shaq and Sea Monster are targeting these gooseneck barnacles growing on the rocks.

    Shaq found a maple tree and tied a rope to it, and said: "Can you see those things that look like horse teeth? They are gray and white and look ugly. Delicious things are generally not very beautiful, so don't underestimate them.  it."

    A dozen seagulls took advantage of the break in the waves to peck at the barnacles clinging to the rocks. Although barnacles are protected by hard plate shells, they have a very deadly habit, that is, when the water flows through them  , the shell cover will open, and feather-like tentacles will extend from the inside, using vines to filter out plankton in the water.

    In this way, the rolling waves create an illusion for them. When the waves hit them, they think the tide is rising, and they quickly open their back shells to catch food.  But the water falls quickly, so they don't have time to close their shells, and the seagulls seize the opportunity to come up and peck.

    Although the success rate of seagulls is not high, the deliciousness of barnacles makes them willing to work hard for it. As long as they catch two barnacles, they can have a full meal.

    The snow-white seagulls chirped as they bravely crossed the waves of the sea, swooping and pecking again and again, and would not leave until they were full. Of course, if they failed to peck for several times in a row, they would also leave.

    Seagulls are very smart. They know that their endurance is not good, so they will not waste their energy on catching one kind of food. If this road fails, then they will find another way. This is their hunting strategy.

    Like Shaq, Nelson also found a tree and tied a rope, and explained at the same time: "Those damn chemical plant owners used to designate the waters here as their private property, and these niangs didn't even allow us to catch horse teeth.  , I haven¡¯t tasted such delicious food in several years.¡±

    They were busy when another car drove over, it was Hughes' Buick Grand Hyatt. After getting out of the car, Hughes smiled and said, "You guys were really in time. You came here just after the rain stopped?"

    Qin Shiou said hello to Hughes, stood on the coast and looked down. There were layers of gooseneck barnacles on the rocks below. These things clearly looked like the claws of a monster. I don't know who said goodbye to the town.  Why do they feel like horse teeth.

    The reproductive capacity of gooseneck barnacles is very strong. There are hundreds or even thousands of them on the reef. If you let people with trypophobia see them, they will definitely make you vomit.

    After tying the rope, Shaq and Nelson began to move slowly down the reef. The sea monster grabbed Shaq's rope and told Qin Shiou: "Boss, hold Nelson's rope and pay attention to his position. If there are waves,  If they come, pull the rope hard and try not to let them get caught by the waves!"

    Boris¡¯s four children divided into two teams with a tacit understanding. Boris took Shirley to follow Qin Shiou, while Gordon and Michelle went to help the sea monster.

    The tiger and leopard also followed. The little guy ran to the shore and bit the rope. He tucked his tail into his butt and pulled back with gritted teeth.

    The rise of the warm cyclone has driven ocean wind and waves. The previously calm sea surface has become extremely turbulent. The sea water is constantly blown up by the wind and waves and withdrawn into the sea. The sea level is at least two meters lower than before, and the goosenecks that are usually hidden in the sea water are  The barnacles were exposed.

    Qin Shiou made an "ok" gesture to Shaq, put on his gloves and arm guards, and grabbed the rope.

    Nelson jumped like a frogman and landed under the shore, with the whale knife between his teeth. He saw the opportunity. When a big wave fell, he immediately jumped to the nearest place with gooseneck barnacles and drew the whale knife.  The knife was inserted between the barnacle and the rock.

    "Open it for me!" Nielsen shouted sharply, plucking off a gooseneck barnacle that was fourteen or five centimeters in length, quickly stuffing it into his bag, then aiming at the next one, and plucking the knife in again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
