Chapter 198 Wakame

What Li Chengxin caught was a sea hare.

Sea hares are actually the same kind of sea shells. About 5000 to [-] million years ago, in the Devonian period before the appearance of dinosaurs, sea hares were actually shellfish that became larger in size during biological evolution and could move by themselves. .

Li Chengxin has also eaten sea rabbits before, and the taste is indeed similar to conch, and the taste is not bad.Now, edible sea hares are also sold on the market.

Nudibranchs squirt purple sap when they sense danger, similar to squids.

"But the ink sac of this sea hare is too big, it sprayed so much!"

Recent studies have pointed out that the purple ink sprayed by sea hares contains two kinds of liquids. The purple liquid contains warning hormones, which are used to warn the companions and interfere with the enemy's sight; the other white liquid mixed with the purple liquid is Can reduce the appetite of the enemy.

The mixture of the two liquids is toxic, and marine life sprayed with this liquid will gradually lose the desire to fight.

"What's the food for the sea hare?" A student asked suddenly, "Did it grow so big, did it eat small fish or shellfish?"

The graduate student who led the team shook his head and replied: "You have the nerve to ask this kind of question, even if there is no book on Baidu, you can do it. Aplysia is a vegetarian creature and usually only eats brown algae."

Another student chuckled and said, "The human-faced spider in "Longling Miku" only eats plant juices, and it doesn't eat people in the end, which shows that Baidu is not omnipotent."

"That's just novels and TV shows, don't take it seriously," another voice retorted.

The graduate student and Li Chengxin watched the students fall into the topic of discussing popular TV series, and they tore a piece of wakame from the seawater and threw it into the sea hare container.Undaria pinnatifida is a kind of Undaria genus in the family Pterophyceae of Phaeophyceae, which is an annual large seaweed.

As soon as the big hare saw what it was eating, it stuck to it, hugged it with its whole body on the wakame and began to feast on it.

"Speaking of which, did this experimental coast have so many wakame before?" the graduate student asked a little strangely, "I remember that copper algae are mostly on your side."

"Haha, I was discovered." Li Chengxin smiled, "I planted some with eel grass before, probably at that time the spores of wakame scattered and stayed on this coast."

The graduate student sighed: "Now the ocean environment is greatly affected by temperature changes, and herbivorous fish are multiplying in large numbers. I heard that some places dedicated to growing wakame have lost their harvest. So seeing that there are so many wild seaweeds on your side. The wakame seaweed tastes really good.”

"Wakame, do you need to make records?" Li Chengxin asked suddenly.

The graduate student shook his head: "We plan to do some animal records."

"Is the wakame edible?" Li Chengxin picked up a rock from the bottom of the sea, and two huge wakame grew on it. The leaves were wide and thick, and the length was almost two meters.

The graduate student squeezed the thick leaves of wakame and smiled: "That must be, this looks delicious!"

So, this wakame is a snack in the morning.The students had never eaten fresh kelp, so they gathered around to watch it.

Li Chengxin boiled a pot of water, cut the wakame that had been washed off the sand into small pieces, and put it into boiling water.The brown wakame instantly turned dark green in the boiling water.

"Is this enough to eat?" A student looked at his assigned portion questioningly and looked at Li Chengxin with a look like "Are you kidding us?"

Li Chengxin took out a bottle of grapefruit vinegar and nodded: "Pour vinegar and eat."

The student dubiously poured yuzu vinegar on the watered wakame, and then put it in his mouth, the crisp chewing sound came out.

"Not bad, unexpectedly delicious!"

Seeing that student actually ate wakame, the other students started to move their chopsticks too.

"The taste is very good!"

"I've never eaten wakame like this. I usually eat dried seaweed at home. It feels like two different things."

"Obviously it was just fished out of the sea, washed and then burned, but there is no fishy smell at all!"

"Senior Zicheng! Let me pack some before I leave. I want to take it back to Lanhai City for my parents to try!"

"I want me too!"

Li Chengxin smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem. I'll just send you a courier."

After eating snacks, the students continued to work, while the graduate students gave pointers at any time and took pictures of the students.

"There are so many crabs!" A student lifted a big rock and shouted excitedly.

Under that rock, there were about a dozen small crabs, which hurriedly scattered and fled as soon as they saw the light.

A student nearby spotted a "disgusting looking" crab.

Li Chengxin went over to have a look. It was an mitten crab. Its lower abdomen was stretched apart by a large mass of gray-black things, which looked very strange.

"Those are all crab seeds." Li Chengxin said, looking at the crab twisting in the student's hands.

The student was taken aback, and put the crab into a transparent container filled with water. After a closer look, the eggs in the lower abdomen of the crab were distinct, and the crab itself felt very deformed.

"It's still a mother crab. The ocean in spring is really interesting."

In a puddle on the coast, a school of mullet larvae is dying, being chased by students.

The graduate students went over to have a look: "Just grab a few random ones, don't you want to grab everything?"

The students were relieved: "We really thought we needed to arrest them all..."

After receiving the graduate student's words, they carried a small bucket of mullet ashore, and after walking a short distance, they heard excited and restrained cries from behind.

Looking back, it was an egret flying into the puddle where they fished mullet just now. The egret with snow-white feathers was shining brightly in the sun.Only the beak, eyes and feet of the egret are black, and the white hair on the back of the head makes it more noble and beautiful.

It trotted a few steps with long legs, and then suddenly buried its head in the water.When it raised its head out of the water again, there were more than one mullet dangling from its long beak.The head trembled slightly, and when it stopped still, the mullet on the mouth disappeared.

Guapi rushed towards the egret, and before he reached it, the egret flew up and landed on the edge of a puddle farther away to continue looking for small fish to eat.Guapi ran over again, and the egret flew back gracefully into the first puddle, which was like playing with dogs.

The sea breeze sent over the content of the chats of several students. They sat on the beach warmed by the sun: "This life is so beautiful, I don't even want to go back to school."

"Yes, yes, facing the sea, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming..."

Li Chengxin smiled and said nothing. After two days in the sea, those students probably would die.

As the sea water rose, the students brought the aquatic creatures they found back to the yard of Li Chengxin's house, and put them away in different categories.

After eating the big pot of rice sent by the village committee, we started to collect data on marine life.

The students were divided into groups, and each group was responsible for a part of the biology.Some people are responsible for taking pictures, some are measuring data with different types of rulers, and some are dedicated to recording.

Li Chengxin looked around and silently felt that his undergraduate knowledge back then was running out, or maybe when he was in college, the extracurricular activities seemed not as rich as the current students.But he has indeed embarked on other paths now, as long as he continues to work hard.
