Chapter 639: There is a mystery in the small wooden boat

Before Ye Yaosheng could come over with the hook, Ye Yaodong had already recognized the things growing on the small boat with his fiery eyes.

"Oh my, my mother, these are the tentacles of sea chicken feet... Damn, I almost didn't recognize them," Ye Yaodong said happily suddenly.

"This damn tentacle stretches out randomly, covering the boat densely, looking so scary. Who knows, I was almost scared to death. Fortunately, I didn't turn around and run away."

Ye Fu was stunned by his excited voice, and then remembered the sea chicken feet he mentioned the year before last, and widened his eyes.

"Is this the valuable thing you dug up the year before last?"

"Yes, these are sea chicken feet. The ones that keep moving are its tentacles. They have all crawled out, and many have covered the outer shell. From a distance, I only saw these wriggling tentacles, which looked as dense and scary as earthworms. That that that... there are some shells that are not outside, and I can see them clearly, so it should be..."

Just like clams raised in salt water, they will stretch their tentacles out long, or like cat-eye snails, when they are just dug out of the small holes under the beach, a large piece of soft meat on them is exposed, and when people touch them, they all shrink back.

When Ye Yaosheng came over with the hook, he heard them excitedly talking about sea chicken feet, and he was a little confused.

Closer, he saw more clearly the things attached to the boat. Their color was pink-brown, and they kept wriggling, like long big insects, which looked even more scary.

Such disgusting things, they were actually excited?

"Sea chicken feet... what is that? Hey~ the meat strips wriggling below, some have white shells on them, looking like barnacles? Could it really be the tentacles of barnacles that Ah Dong said before? When they grow on rocks, I haven't seen them stretch their tentacles out..."

"Usually they grow on rocks, and we only see them after the tide recedes. Without seawater, they are dry. How could they stretch their tentacles out? They wouldn't necessarily be exposed even if they died." Ye Yaodong explained.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. This is drifting in the sea, surrounded by water, so the tentacles are all stretched out. There are so many dense ones, no wonder it looks so scary, and they will all move."

"Give me the hook."

Ye Fu took the hook from his hand. When the boat drifted over, he leaned over the side of the boat, half of his body leaned out, and stretched his hand.

He used the hook to touch the meat strips that were wriggling constantly. With the invasion of foreign objects, these meat strips shrank back instantly.

In just a short while, a small piece of the side of the boat was directly emptied, and only white-gray shells were seen.

"It really is the thing called sea chicken feet that you dug up the year before last, and it looks exactly the same."

Ye Yaosheng was puzzled. Isn't this just a barnacle? Why do they call it sea chicken feet?

With doubts in his heart, he also asked at the same time.

Ye Yaodong explained: "This is not an ordinary barnacle. It is called goose-neck barnacle, and it can also be called seafood from hell, also known as sea chicken feet."

"Ordinary rocks will not grow it. It only lives in the crevices of island reefs where sea currents are relatively frequent. As for this boat, I don't know if it was blown away from the shore by waves and has been drifting on the sea, or if the people on it had an accident."

Ye Yaosheng nodded as if he understood.

He still didn't quite understand. Barnacles are barnacles, why are they goose-neck barnacles?

Is the difference big? They are all things that are not very valuable. Is it necessary to be happy?

However, although he was puzzled, he didn't say it. Anyway, it was something picked up for nothing. Don't pick it up for nothing. Maybe the boat can still be used.

Ye Fu tentatively touched it a few times, and after confirming that the gray-white shells on the boat were exposed, he used the hook to hook the small wooden boat to the side of their boat.

After the big and small boats collided, all the tentacles on the small wooden boat were frightened and shrank back, and instantly it didn't look so disgusting.

However, on the hull, sea chicken feet were still growing densely. People with dense phobia would still get goosebumps when looking at it.

Originally looking from a distance, I felt that the whole boat was full of small earthworm-like meat strips. At this moment, when they shrank back, the boat was not so dense. They were only scattered, and most of them were distributed on the edge of the boat and under the boat. And there were not only sea chicken feet, but also other barnacles and shellfish.

Ye Yaosheng saw it and said: "It doesn't look so disgusting like this, it looks much more normal. Before, looking from a distance, I thought it was some insects crawling all over the boat."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's much more pleasing to the eye."

"Don't just talk, let's lift the boat onto the deck together. We have to pull the nets later, and there is still work to do. We don't have time to delay here."

Ye Fu threw the hook on the boat casually, leaned over and grabbed one side of the boat, and shouted for them to help together.

Fortunately, this small wooden boat is not big, only two or three meters, and the three of them can drag it up together.

They leaned on the side of the boat together, bent down to reach it, and didn't need to use other tools. They exerted force together, and one side of the boat was lifted up by them.

"Hey~ exert some force... be careful not to let your hands be cut by those with shells..."

"Pull it up, pull it up..."

"Still a little bit... still a little bit... use more force..."

The three of them pulled the small boat tightly against their large boat, grabbed the edge of the small boat, and bit by bit, pulled one end of the small wooden boat up along the hull to the boat's edge.

The bow of the boat was pulled up, and the back was effortless. With a little force, the whole small wooden boat smashed onto the deck, and the barnacles on it were also smashed and scattered everywhere.

Ye Yaodong patted the water stains splashed on his body, squatted down, and looked at the boat carefully.

"It grows quite a lot. I don't know how long it has been drifting on the sea?"

The bottom of the boat is dense with barnacles and young shellfish, the sides of the boat are sea chicken feet, and there are some scattered mussels inside, which may be because the seawater inside is washed less.

I don't know if the boat can still be used after all these things are pried off? If it can still be used, it would be okay to give it to Brother Brother Asheng to use for a transition.

Ye Fu also said: "I don't know if it can still be used. It would be a pity if it can't be used."

"You go drive the boat first, I'll take a look."

Ye Fu looked at it reluctantly, and Ye Yaosheng took the conversation, "I'll drive it, you guys study and see."

"The place has changed. You don't know where the net is placed, so my dad has to drive."

Ye Fu looked at it a few more times before walking towards the bow. Business is important. After Dongzi studies it later, he will naturally know.

Ye Yaodong looked around the small boat, wanting to see if the wood was rotten, but there was no place for him to start on the edge, so he had to extend his magic claws to the inside of the boat.

He wanted to find a gap not occupied by barnacles and young shellfish, but found that there were many small holes and small caves in some places not occupied by barnacles?

He didn't look carefully just now, his attention was all on those sea chicken feet, and he was estimating how many jin could be dug down.

He squinted and leaned over to look into the holes, but saw nothing. He stretched his index finger and wanted to poke the hole. As a result, his index finger poked into the hole.

I don't know if his index finger was too thick and the hole couldn't accommodate it. A little wood chip fell off the edge easily?

He casually picked at the edge, and another small piece was picked off?

"Is this wood? This is clearly tofu dregs! It's so easy to pick, the wood is rotten..."

Ye Yaosheng listened to his complaints and smiled, "Maybe it has been drifting on the sea for too long, the wood is a bit rotten. It didn't fall apart, maybe it was because it was covered with shells. It is estimated that if it grows longer, wait for the weight of the bottom of the boat to be heavier, and if it is not discovered, if the waves are bigger, it will probably fall apart after a few hits."

Ye Yaodong was also muttering in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't say that if the boat could be used, he would give it to him, otherwise he would be disappointed.

"I don't know if there are shipworms growing in these holes. It looks like holes dug by shipworms."

Ye Yaosheng associated it and was surprised: "The meat strips that look like earthworms on the boat we saw just now, could some of them be shipworms?"

"It shouldn't be possible. Shipworms generally don't show their heads. Those are the tentacles of sea chicken feet."

"Oh, then wait until the return trip to drag the boat to the shore to split it open and catch the shipworms inside..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise, "Still want to catch them? What for?"

"Eat!"

Listening to Ye Yaosheng's matter-of-fact "eat"... Ye Yaodong felt his scalp numb. Is it so heavy-tasting?

Eat shipworms too???

Although shipworms are called better, they are also called ship-drilling shellfish, but their local dialect is called shipworms.

It's a maggot...

Ye Yaodong directly associated it with the dry toilet in his mind. The visual stimulation of wriggling lingered in his mind...

He shivered instantly. It was too heavy-tasting.

Although he knew that this thing was a delicacy for some people, and he also knew that many people ate it, especially in Southeast Asian countries, they specifically ate shipworms, but he didn't eat it, and he definitely wouldn't eat it!

Usually, he didn't see anyone around him eating this thing. He didn't expect Brother Brother Asheng to be so heavy-tasting!

Shipworms are terrorists in the ocean. Theoretically, they should not be listed as seafood. Even if they try hard to evolve a dangerous appearance, the rings of life are outlined on their backs, and the mucus of the soft body is like the ghost fire in the wild.

All clues point to inedibility, but the arrogant cavalry will not let go of any weak prey, and there is always someone who can understand the fatness.

But there is definitely no him inside!

He is also picky about food...

Although sand worms look very similar to this thing, they are not called maggots...

They also live under the beach. There is no psychological burden when eating them. They only feel delicious.

"If you want to eat, wait until you reach the shore, I will pry all the shells off, and then give you the boat, and you can take it back and split it."

Ye Yaosheng smiled and knew that he was disgusted by the shipworms. Ordinary people really wouldn't eat them. It's just that the conditions were poor when he was a child, so they ate whatever they had, and they could eat any insects.

"Okay, give it to me to split after going back. It's more interesting to split it yourself and catch it. When I was a child, we saw wood drifting on the sea and scrambled to pick it up."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched.

It is estimated that what he said is more interesting, it may be similar to eating crayfish without peeling, eating melon seeds without shelling, lacking fun. Eating shipworms should be the same reason. The wood must be split by yourself, so it is energetic to eat...

Evil~ can't think, can't think...
