Back to the small fishing village in 1982

However, he has heard that the taste of ship maggots is similar to that of razor clams and squid whiskers, close to mussels, and also contains the aroma of steamed grouper fish oil. It is soft and tender, with a little sweetness. An uncomfortably evil residue.

but……

Hehe~ It's not easy to get through that level in my heart.

Ye Yaosheng also squatted down to imitate him, found a hole and buckled a few times, but only saw a piece of sawdust, and there was no sign of the shipworm.

He doesn't know the value of sea chicken feet, those shelled ones are not attractive to him at all, they are not as good as shipworms...

"I still have to wait until I go back. Take an ax and chop it. If you pick it like this, you won't be able to pick it."

"Before we get to the place, first pry off the feet of the sea chickens in the outer circle."

When he dug the holes, Ye Yaodong had already stretched out his hand and broke several holes.

Ye Yaosheng also knew that the sea chicken feet he was talking about meant the barnacles on the edge and side of the hull, "I'll get two screwdrivers."

"In the toolbox in the cabin."

"I know."

Ye Yaodong also went to the side to get a bucket and prepared to fill it later.

According to his visual inspection, all of them were deducted, and it was estimated that there was only one bucket full, about ten catties or so.

Because there are empty shells on the top, there will be a little more spat and reticulated barnacles growing on the bottom of the boat, and there are only a few in the boat.

Manpower is inferior to tools. The reason why humans evolve into advanced animals is that they can use tools.

It is much more convenient and efficient to pry it with a screwdriver, and there is a constant sound of thumping in the bucket.

When Father Ye was sailing the boat, besides looking ahead, he would turn his head from time to time to watch them busy, a little itchy. The guy named Haijijiao had heard Dongzi say that he was worth a lot, and he sold it for a lot of money. Do you know how much can be dug down?

Last month, I had no income for the whole month, and I was lying at home all the time. It just cleared up recently. Fortunately, Dongzi made a lot of money selling dried fish a few years ago. I heard that the business is not bad recently, otherwise he should sit for him. Can't stop.

The final payment for the boat is still 8000!

I don't know how much cash he still has on hand. Some time ago when I was so worried about him that I couldn't sleep, I secretly calculated it with his mother in private, and felt that he didn't owe much, so I felt more at ease.

Thinking that there is still a year or two to go, if he doesn't mess around with other things, even if he can't make as much money as he did last year, he will definitely be able to get in. Today's sea chicken feet are another additional income subsidy.

I took the time to talk to him, I can't toss any more, he is earning enough now, and it is enough to catch fish and dry the fish peacefully.

Ye Yaodong was prying there with a screwdriver, but the boat was so rotten, he hadn't dug a few times before a large piece of wood and shells were dug out.

As soon as he took it in his hand, he saw the white figure wriggling in the hole.

There is a small shell on its tail and foot, which is very inconspicuous, and a fastidious person will spit it out if he sucks it. Of course, eating it can also supplement calcium.

"There are really shipworms!"

He reached in with a screwdriver, picked out the moving shipworm, hung it on the screwdriver, and handed it to Ye Yaosheng.

"Your dinner, appetizers! It's quite big, do you want to have a raw bite, the original taste?"

Ye Yaosheng opened his eyes wide, "Eat raw???"

"Can't seafood be eaten raw? Try it? Swipe it and inhale it, and you'll have a mouthful of pulp!"

Ye Yaosheng looked at the shipworm that was almost reaching his mouth, couldn't help taking a step back, his scalp was numb, even if he was heavy mouthed, he couldn't bear to eat it raw...

It also exploded in one mouthful, Dongzi was too scary!

This is not a sea oyster oyster, but also swallowed...

"No, no, no...how can this be eaten raw? This has to be fried..."

"Why not? Otherwise, I'll wash it in fresh water for you? Don't you like to eat it?"

This raw food is a tribute to the creator, and the cold salad is a eulogy to nature!

"It must be familiar! Throw it on the boat, and I will split the boat and dig it when I get back."

Ye Yaosheng patted his arm, and the shipworm hanging from the screwdriver fell directly onto the boat, and he immediately felt relieved.

How can this thing be eaten raw?Thankfully he figured it out.

Ye Yaodong laughed out loud.

"Would you like to eat one for me?" Ye Yaosheng saw that he was laughing so wildly, so he picked up the shipworm that was digging a hole on the boat again, and sent it to him.

Ye Yaodong looked at the shipworm that was almost approaching his mouth, his pupils constricted, he hurriedly covered his mouth in panic, and slapped his hand away.

"Do you want to be so disgusting?"

"Didn't you say it was eaten raw?"

"Where? I'm taking care of you. I don't want to eat this disgusting thing. Stir-fried leeks with sea silkworms are much better than this."

"Each has its own taste."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, it should be said that individual tastes are different.

After the two of them had scared each other, they dug obediently and obediently, and neither of them dared to make any more moths, and the shipworm was still drilling holes into the wooden boat.

In the current era when boats are still mainly made of wood, if a small wooden boat is not regularly maintained and cleaned, it will leak, sink, and fall apart in a few years. The reason is basically because of this shipworm.

The boat must have been floating at sea for a long time, the boat was rotten, the bottom was covered with various shells, and the inside was also occupied by shipworms.

However, he is more inclined that the boat is stuck in the crevice of the reef, which is why it has not been discovered. It has been raining a while ago, with a lot of rain, and the water level has risen, so it was washed out, and a lot of growths grew on it. sea ​​chicken feet.

Those shipworms have existed on the earth for as long as the history of human civilization, and countless wooden ships have been destroyed. Its gnawing has also spawned many strange shipwrecks.

There were attempts long ago to smear the hulls of ships with pitch and wax, as well as lead and tar, but for shipworms they were all added food.

It was not until later people invented FRP and used it to wrap the bottom and keel of the ship that the damage of shipworms to the ship was significantly slowed down.

Some people also painted a layer of red paint containing highly toxic substances cuprous oxide and mercury oxide on the bottom of the ship, which completely solved the problem of marine organisms parasitic on the hull.

But as time goes by, more and more marine parasites have gradually adapted to this toxicity and have evolved corresponding resistance to toxicity. Barnacles like barnacles still need to be removed manually, but the barnacle spat growing under the red paint is Inedible, poisonous to paint.

And shipworms are even more immortal, they can't be killed, can't be eliminated, and can't be eaten, which makes people angry and greedy.

Tin boats are health clubs for shipworms, not to mention wooden boats are simply their spas.

Shipworms secrete an enzyme that digests wood, and they can wreak havoc on wooden equipment such as stakes and boats.

Once the whole piece of wood, or the whole boat and the whole stake is occupied by them, it will become their comfortable home and sweet cake, and the problems of food and shelter will be solved together.

The enzyme is slightly corrosive to metals, and some very hungry shipworms can even eat rocks.

What we eat is stone, what we pull is sand, and we return to the basics and make pies, which provide necessary help to the human building material market.

The common shipworms are 2-3 centimeters longer, and the king maggots under some large ships can grow to more than 1 meter.

It’s impossible to justify this thing if you don’t let it go, because of its name~

Otherwise, the Chinese can eat it and breed it!

The two of them will only dig the sea chicken feet first, and don't worry about other shellfish.

Some busy workers didn't feel how cold the sea breeze was blowing, but their ears were a little cold and red, but others were fine.

However, Ye Yaosheng's hand holding the screwdriver was exposed outside, and it looked like he had frostbite, each root was red and swollen almost as thick as a sausage.

Originally, when a man does rough work, his knuckles are big, and his hands feel like gloves can't fit in them.

"Do you wash your clothes yourself?"

Ye Yaosheng was stunned when he heard him asking about washing clothes suddenly, feeling a little baffled, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, wait for the second uncle to cancel the marriage for you, I will lend you some money, and you can build a small wooden boat to catch fish?"

"Ah? No need, no need to borrow me, I don't need it urgently, just work slowly and save money."

It's rare that he showed mercy and wanted to help, but he refused?
Ye Yaosheng smiled and said: "I'm not so poor that I have to borrow money. I don't have anything urgent, so I don't need you to borrow money."

"Isn't this trying to help you?"

"Don't listen to my father, my father just likes to plan a little bit, and his heart is not bad..."

"Am I someone who can listen to your father? Which relative doesn't think he needs help? I just think it's not easy for you."

"It's okay, it's okay, hehe, I have hands and feet, and I'm stronger than many people. It's good to earn money slowly. I owe people money, and I don't feel at ease."

Ye Yaodong really looked at him with admiration, good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo?
