In fact, this gooseneck barnacle itself likes to grow in places with high winds and rough waves.
Those storms had little impact on it, but before and after the storm, the wind and waves near the coastline would be far higher than usual. These gooseneck barnacles grow on the steep rocks, and the wind and waves are high, making it difficult to pick. Very dangerous!
At least, when He Fan was searching for information about gooseneck barnacles, he found several days of news about the risky picking of gooseneck barnacles in Spain that resulted in human deaths!
This is the main reason for the large reduction in gooseneck barnacle production this year.
No one dares to pick it, and the maturity period of this thing has been missed. The period when the most delicious taste has passed, and there is no point in picking it again. The deliciousness of this thing will be greatly reduced!
That¡¯s why Old Man Pete and Makoto Miura were so excited when they saw the gooseneck barnacles.
Soon, the boss of the ship anchored the Storm beside a gentle beach on the Conch Reef, and He Fan led old man Pete and Miura Makoto off the ship and boarded the Conch Reef!
We walked all the way to the steep reef that Old Man Pete had just spotted. Because the front was too steep, He Fan was fine. However, Old Man Pete and Miura Makoto were both in their fifties, so it was inevitable that there would be some problems. It's inconvenient, so I'll stop here.
Anyway, when we got here, we could already clearly see the situation on the steep rocks ahead!
However, when Old Man Pete and Miura Makoto came closer and observed it carefully, they showed a look of great disappointment.
Old man Peter shook his head helplessly and said:
"Alas, it's a pity that it's just an ordinary horsetooth barnacle. The taste and texture are far inferior to that of gooseneck barnacles. I'm so happy for nothing!"
Horsetooth barnacles are actually the most common barnacles. They are different from gooseneck barnacles in appearance. The barnacles are shaped like a cone, like a mini volcano.
The gooseneck barnacle is composed of a soft cylindrical handle and a body wrapped in more than a dozen shell plates.
And the colors of the two are also different. The body of the gooseneck barnacle is calcium white, while the body of the horsetooth barnacle is dark.
It's just that because of the strong wind and waves near the reef before on the ship, these barnacles gathered densely together, and for some unknown reason, the barnacles on the conch reef in Hefan Fishing Ground had some mutations, and their appearance also mutated into white. Yes, this made both old man Pietra and Miura Makoto lose their sight!
But now that we are close, we can tell them apart at a glance.
Not to mention that the texture and taste of these ordinary barnacles are not as good as those of gooseneck barnacles, and most of them are even inedible!
Old man Pete on the side also sighed:
"Sure enough, this kind of delicacy from hell cannot be found everywhere. How can there be such delicacies like gooseneck barnacles on the broken islands and reefs of this kind of fishing ground!"
He Fan was not happy when he heard this. Who was he looking down on? Broken islands and reefs in what fishing grounds?
Gooseneck barnacles, right? Isn't it just an ordinary crustacean? No matter how delicious it is, it might not be as delicious as the ordinary barnacles on our conch reef!
He Fan still has some confidence.
Because the snails and shellfish on this conch reef are irrigated and nourished by the rich seawater in the fishing ground, each one is extremely delicious, with tender meat and a good taste, which is better than ordinary snails and shellfish. Where to go!
He Fan didn¡¯t believe it. How bad would the barnacle smell be? He immediately said unconvinced:
"Old man Pete, I don't agree with what you are saying. I bet that the smell of barnacles in my fishery will never be inferior to that of gooseneck barnacles!"
Old man Pete on the side immediately puffed his beard and glared:
"Young He, although many of the ingredients you cultivated taste very good, these barnacles over there are clearly the most ordinary ones. They are inedible at all and taste difficult to swallow. How could they be so delicious? It¡¯s impossible for me, Peter, to miss you twice!¡±
Although Miura Makoto on the side did not speak, looking at his expression, he clearly believed in what Old Man Pete said!
"Hey, I have such a bad temper!"
He Fan immediately took off the short sleeves of his upper body, revealing the shining muscles inside. He was shirtless, wearing only shorts, and walked towards the steep reef!
The waves in that place were very strong, and He Fan didn't want to feel wet and uncomfortable later.
Old man Pete looked at He Fan's movements??, he was clearly going to pick those Horsetooth Barnacles, and he also warned:
"Hey, don't be impulsive and come back quickly, it's too dangerous!"
In this kind of place, whether it is picking gooseneck barnacles or ordinary barnacles, it is an extremely dangerous thing. In addition to the huge impact of the waves that keep hitting the rocks, it can kill an adult strong man. On top of that, the slippery environment underfoot and some splintered and sharp rocks are also hidden dangers, and you may fall if you are not careful!
In this environment, if you fall, a wave will easily sweep you back into the sea.
This is still light. If your head accidentally hits any rocks while being carried by the waves, it will be even more dangerous!
And because of the special structure, the bottom of the barnacle is adsorbed on the smooth reef, and the adsorption force is very strong. It takes a lot of effort for an ordinary adult to pick it off.
It usually takes longer to pick enough barnacles, which also adds a lot of danger to the picking work.
After all, in such a steep and steep environment, the longer you stay, the higher the risk!
Even the locals who specialize in picking gooseneck barnacles on the Galician coast of Spain have to be very careful to avoid the waves.
Even so, every year there are news about deaths caused by harvesting barnacles.
At the moment, He Fan picks the barnacles attached to the rocks with his bare hands without taking any protective measures. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous behavior in the eyes of old man Pete!
"There is absolutely no need to do it for some horsetooth barnacles that have no edible value, congratulations!"
It was even more embarrassing to hear this in He Fan's ears.
But He Fan just made an OK gesture behind him, indicating that it didn't matter, and then moved on.
Miura Makoto on the side looked at He Fan's back, but a light flashed in his eyes.
In his early years of fighting and killing, and later in his career of practicing Iaido, he had a vague sense that this young man from China might not be as simple as a fish farm owner.
The aura exuding from He Fan made him feel a little unfathomable!
And the scene they saw next made the two little old men dumbfounded.
He Fan jumped back and forth lightly on the steep and steep reef beach, as if the place was not a place full of rocks and so precarious that if he missed it, he would fall into the gap between the rocks and be swept away by the waves, but a piece of land. It's like a flat land where you can come and go easily.
Like an antelope, it jumps lightly!
This kind of place might be very dangerous for ordinary people, but for He Fan, it was just like walking on flat ground.
"Congratulations, good job! When I was young, I had such good skills like you"
Old man Pete also applauded at this time.
Hearing this, there was a black line on He Fan's head.
This old man Pete is really thick-skinned, but He Fan can't refute him, they are all one of his own!
