Chapter 156 Plum Ginseng

PS: Thanks for the reward for Jiudangge 68 and Fang Hai's highly praised votes. Brothers should have voted for this vote before, but the news list was refreshed too quickly and the list was not received.

At this time, Weihang was quickly capturing a precious seafood. Many caterpillar-like sea cucumbers were found in the Coral Fortko and the Coral Lagoon.

There are many types of sea cucumbers along the South China Sea coast in my country, with about twenty kinds of sea cucumbers available for consumption. The meat is soft and tender, rich in nutrition, and is a typical high-protein, low-fat food, rich in taste, and elegant in taste. It is a famous dish that has been famous for a long time. It is as famous as ginseng, bird's nest, and shark fin, and is one of the eight treasures in the world. Sea cucumbers are not only precious foods, but also precious medicinal materials.

Weihang saw that this kind of relatively expensive plum ginseng is more than 60 or 70 cm long and has a thick wrist. This is the first time Weihang has seen such a large sea cucumber.

After catching two bags, he turned back the same way, hundreds of meters away from the fishing boat. When he returned to the fishing boat, he was very surprised that he didn't see a figure. It's no reason to run on the boat together, right?

When the water emerged, I felt even more confused when I saw those guys breathing a sigh of relief.

Gu Yanji's heart was thrilled when he saw two large bags of huge sea cucumbers in Weihang and almost screamed. He had seen such a large sea cucumber before, but he had seen the largest one and two meters, but it was the best.

"hiss!"

"Where did you find a sea cucumber? It's so outrageous." Huang Jinhui also looked shocked.

Weihang did not answer, but asked, "Why have you all run up to rest?"

"Didn't you see?" Yun Rulong glanced at Weihang strangely.

"What did you see? Shark?" As Wei Hang spoke, he quickly used the sea bead to sense it, and found that there were no particularly dangerous creatures, right?

"It's not a shark, but it's almost the same. It's a sawfish. The saw kiss is more than one meter long, which makes me feel cold and terrifying. If Zhang Yong hadn't thrown away the sea crabs quickly, he might have been attacked." Gao Fei replied.

Wei Hang was also shocked. Seeing that everyone was fine, he felt relieved. A sawfish could separate people in half if they got angry. He was so scared that he could die without a complete body.

"It should be gone, I didn't see it just now." Wei Hang climbed up and threw the sea cucumber aside.

Since that guy ran away, he would be relieved to ask others to go down and help catch them later. There are still many sea cucumbers, and after working hard for more than half an hour, he should be able to catch a thousand or hundreds of pounds.

He barely caught four or five in one bag, each weighing a few pounds, and a thousand or hundreds of pounds is not a lot.

"Does this kind of sea cucumber still exist?" Gu Yanji was most concerned about this issue.

Weihang nodded: "Yes! He was about to come up and ask everyone to go down and help. The fishing boat drove over there about 500 meters, and there were some rocks and reefs in front. There were still many more in that area."

When everyone heard this, they understood why Weihang came up so late and had run so far. It was not easy to move forward for hundreds of meters underwater.

"Is this the plum ginseng known as the King of Sea Cucumbers? It's so big." Tourists gathered around.

"I used to see that my thumbs were bigger. These were so big, so it turned out to be the king of sea cucumbers, so it was no wonder." A young man next to me suddenly realized.

"Yes! This is not only very large, but also the price is not something that ordinary people can eat. It costs two or three thousand per pound of dry goods, which is very powerful."

Gu Yanji smiled and shook his head: "What you said is breeding, and more than 5,000 wild ones are not expensive. Not to mention this kind of top-quality plum ginseng."

Plum ginseng has large body, thick meat, good quality, and is the best edible sea cucumber in the South China Sea.

When the others heard this, they looked shocked. It was so expensive that ordinary people could afford it? They didn’t know that some time ago, Weihang got a yellow cucumber, which even fresh meat was several thousand yuan per pound. It was not surprising that sea cucumbers had this price.

The fishermen were very moved and didn't expect that this kind of sea cucumber was so expensive. They had to pay attention to it in the future. If they got a hundred or dozens of kilograms, they wouldn't have to work for a year.

Zhang Yong quickly drove the boat and prepared to do something big. Catching a few more of these sea cucumbers would be better than the red-headed fish they dragged a big net. The price difference was too big.

"Hurry up with sea water, otherwise, it may melt when you return. Get ashore and deal with it immediately." Gu Yanji spoke.

He knew very well that sea cucumbers would melt after more than a few hours, like ice cream. After getting ashore, you had to make dry products as soon as possible.

He was wondering whether to invite some experienced people to help, for fear that Weihang and others would be damaged. If such a precious sea cucumber was damaged by a batch, it would be a huge loss.

When sea cucumber leaves the sea water, a kind of autolysin will be produced in the body. Within 6-7 hours, the sea cucumber will melt into liquid itself, becoming water-like, dissolved without a trace.

In addition, sea cucumbers will automatically dissolve in the sea after 10-15 years of growth. At the same time, they will not only leave the sea water, but also cause self-soluble when the sea cucumber growth environment is polluted. Dried sea cucumbers will also self-soluble when exposed to oily substances, which is why merchants prohibit the use of oil-dip containers when teaching consumers to foam sea cucumbers.

When Cao Da and others heard this, they quickly acted, and were a little scared. If the treasures worth thousands of yuan per pound melted like this, I am afraid that their hearts would also melt, right?

"Are they dead?" Someone was curious and found that these sea cucumbers were strange, and they were as frozen as they were, motionless, and looked very stiff.

At the beginning, someone wanted to ask this question. But when he found that Gu Yanji and others were so excited, he endured it.

Hearing this, Wei Hang immediately smiled and said, "They are sleeping, it's quite interesting."

When several people heard this, they looked at each other and hibernated. It seems that it is summer now, right? Aren’t other animals dormant only in winter?

Weihang explained that when the water temperature reaches 20 degrees Celsius, the ginseng will move to the dark places of the deep sea reefs, hidden at the bottom of the stone, facing down, without eating or moving, and the whole body shrinks and hardens like a stone. Ordinary animals will not eat it. Sea cucumbers will sleep for a summer, and they will not wake up and resume activities after autumn.

"So, when they wake up, their size will become bigger, and some will even reach more than one meter." Wei Hang said.

The others nodded and thought to themselves that they had gained some knowledge. This world is really amazing!

They still don’t know much about the creature like sea cucumber, otherwise they would think that this girl is simply a monster.

When a vicious natural enemy attacks, the alert sea cucumber will quickly spray out the internal organs in its body, allowing the other party to eat them, and with the help of the recoil force of the dirt discharge, it will escape without a trace. This is called the dirt discharge function.

If the sea cucumber is cut into two sections and put it in the sea, after 3-8 months, each section will produce a complete sea cucumber. Some sea cucumbers have the ability to cut themselves. When the conditions are appropriate, they can cut themselves, and each section will grow into a sea cucumber in the future.

It also has a special function, which is to expel things that do not belong to its body into their bodies. It won’t take long to expel foreign objects from the body.

What’s more interesting is that there is a kind of fish symbiosis in the cloaca of ginseng. This fish is as big as fingers, with a brown-red whole body, a slightly larger head, and a smooth and slender body, about 20 cm. When it feels the water worsens, it will stick its head out from the inside of the ginseng body. Therefore, it can observe the reaction of ginseng to environmental changes.

When the fishing boats arrived at the designated location, everyone went into the water one after another. Weihang reminded that if they were too small, don’t touch them for the time being.

Although the sea cucumbers buried themselves in the bottom of the sand, everyone could still observe the traces. They dug out a thin layer of fine sand and caught the dormant sea cucumbers. It was so easy.

Sea cucumbers are not smart either. They think they can save their lives by hardening themselves and burying them in the sand. However, they may have gone to other people's dining tables before they wake up.

The happiest thing is the ancient Yanji. This batch of top-quality plum ginseng, which saves some use, should be enough for the restaurant to spend three to five months. During this period, he has been using various relationships and hopes to purchase high-quality wild plum ginseng, but the amount he gets is very small.

He thought to himself whether he would discuss with Weihang and not disclose the news to that guy Lao Zhao. If that guy knew about it, he would definitely have to divide some more.

Once I went up, there were hundreds of kilograms of plum blossoms and ginseng. At this time, lunch was ready, but it was still seafood, without rice, and it was just a large pot of sea crabs and shrimps, which was very attractive. In addition, I made some dipping sauces for everyone to dip them apart and eat them.

"I'm hungry! I'm welcome!" A tourist washed his hands and started immediately.

Isn't it okay to eat these things and still pretend to be gentle? Wouldn't that be eaten with your hands?

"You're welcome, everyone can eat it." Weihang was also very proud and wanted to make a lot of money after catching these plum ginsengs. Therefore, he was not prepared to charge the lunch fee prepared by these tourists this time.

Before, these people agreed that each person would make up fifty yuan, which is considered as a boat fee and food fee, as well as equipment fees for going to sea. This is already very cheap. I went out to play for more than half a day and only had fifty yuan, and I would solve my stomach problem. Is there such a bamboo shoot in other tourist areas? It is impossible, I might eat you for a meal of 100 or more yuan.

According to the previous statement, all the things they pick up in the sea can be belonged to tourists. However, these precious sea cucumbers were not discovered by them, so even if they helped to pick them up, they would not have a share. Besides, they all took advantage of them, so where would they have the face to take these things?

"There seems to be a lot in the surrounding area! Let's work harder, it doesn't matter if we go back later." Gu Yanji did not hesitate to work hard this time.

Since there are so many, I might as well give Zhao Wenchang some, but that guy was not giving up any strength. However, he had to take up more than two-thirds of the weight, which was undisclosed.

Everyone had a nice meal of seafood and rested with their belly erect.

"It's so good to come out this time. Those guys who didn't come out must be envious and jealous when they see us getting back with such great gains, right?" the young man wearing glasses smiled.

Can you not be jealous? It doesn’t cost at all, and it’s free for Weihang. I have seen so many things and got my favorite treasures at the bottom of the sea.
Chapter completed!
