wandering planet

The crab meat is sweet and smooth, and there is no need to chew at all. It is sucked into the mouth and then swallowed.

Only the tip of the tongue retains the distinct feeling of crab meat fibers.

Different parts of crab meat have different crab meat fibers.The body is slender meat, and the crab claws are denser and shorter in fiber length.Jiang Che peeled off the crab's shell, and Ovid took the crab claw and bit it down, and half of the crab's meat was eaten.

"Crab claws can also be eaten here." Jiang Che pointed him out, "Many people think that crab claws are more delicious."

He was afraid that Ovid would not be able to understand the words too complicated, so he simply pointed to the clawed feet and said, "This is a big pincer."

Ovid: "Yeah."

Jiang Che pointed to the smaller walking legs held by Ovid: "This is a small claw. The meat in the small claw can be sucked out."

Ovid: "Oh!"

Lin Ni, who came over, couldn't listen anymore: "What big pincers and small claws? It's not official! This should be..."

"I listened to Jiang Che." Ovid said.

Lin Ni pouted, showing a "whatever you want" expression, and then sat on the sand, grabbed a crab in the pot and started to feed himself.

The crab's small claws are divided into several sections, and each section has meat in it.After steaming, let it cool for a while, and the meat in the crab claws will be separated from the crab shell, making it easier to eat.Jiang Che broke off the small crab claws and made Ovid drink like a drink.

As soon as Ovid moved, the smooth and tender meat inside jumped into his mouth.

He didn't react until the meat was swallowed whole: "There is really meat..."

Linney scooped up the sweet and sour crab roe with a small spoon and laughed recklessly.

Ovid ate very carefully and seriously, even the most difficult chelicerae, he bit open with his teeth, and pulled out the meat neatly and beautifully.

Jiang Che felt that he had the talent to eat crabs: "Your teeth are pretty good."

The claws of these sea crabs are not as hard as imagined, Ovid bites happily, squints his eyes and smiles at Jiang Che: "It's so delicious."

There was one left in the pot, Jiang Che took it out and put it on his plate: "Then you can continue to eat."

Putting a few more crabs into it, Jiang Che continued to steam, then pulled the cloth bag that Ovidra was holding, and began to search for the shellfish inside.

"...Virgil is really similar to the earth." He said suddenly, "especially this kind of seashell, it's exactly the same."

"Then eat." Linney leaned over, "Cook it, or bake it. When it opens the shell, the meat inside can be eaten."

"Not now." Jiang Che picked up the seashells in the bag and looked at them carefully, "We need to raise them and wait for them to spit out the sand."

Cicero did not tell Linney the names of these seashells, because there are too many kinds.Off-white, light brown, light pink, turquoise, royal blue...the shells are covered with various colors and patterns, and each of them keeps silent and calm.

Just because of leaving the sea, the color of the pattern began to gradually fade and change.

Ovid started to disassemble the second crab: "I remember the cook on Faust said that it can still be steamed with wine?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Jiang Che immediately got excited, "The steamed wine is very good, very good. Have you ever eaten clams steamed with wine?"

After waking up, he hardly drank alcohol, except for the seasoning in the drunk egg, he hadn't smelled the aroma of alcohol for a long time.

It is said to be steamed with wine, but it is not steamed, but poured in wine after frying, so that the wine soaks the clams, and the sweet and fresh taste becomes more complex and vivid.

The soft shellfish is full of wine, but also full of the aroma of soy sauce, garlic, pepper and shallot.If the fire is just right, the shellfish can easily fall off the shell. It is a puddle of fresh juice wrapped in a soft membrane. When it is eaten into the mouth, the upper and lower jaws are closed tightly, and the teeth are bitten—the soft membrane is broken, and the juice flows out. , full of fluid.

Jiang Che is really hungry now.

"Are you coming down?" He grabbed the communicator and asked, "I'm still steaming crabs, come and eat. Bring me some compressed biscuits and bread."

Ovid wondered, "Jiang, why don't you eat?"

"The next pot will be mine and Don Mepierre, you and Linney will have no share."

The lifeboat pulled fish twice, almost filling the space on the lifeboat.Ovid and Linney's room was also torn down, the mattresses removed, and the space under the bed vacated.Tang Mo filled it with Virgil's sea water and started raising fish.

Of course, Ovid and Linney don't know about this matter yet.

Pierre wanted to look at the lifeboat, Tang Mo came down the rope ladder with a bag of food in his hand.

"Pierre asked me to tell you one thing." She squatted in front of the pot and kept sniffing the aroma from the edge of the pot lid, "When the lifeboat was fishing just now, he saw a black one in the shallow sea. film."

Linney licked his fingers: "Enemy?"

Ovid licks crab roe: "Blue whale?"

Jiang Che was relatively calm: "Virgil water monster?"

Tang Mo: "It's a ship."

It was a ship that had sunk deep into the shallow continental shelf near the Fran Strait.

It is much bigger than Faust, and it has been sunk for an unknown amount of time. The ship is covered with light blue aquatic plants, and it has become a new paradise for all fish and shellfish in this sea area.

According to the direction Pierre pointed out, Ovid and Linney dived into the sea and approached the ship.

There was no diving equipment on the lifeboat, and the two had no way to investigate for a long time. They could only continue to float up to take a breath, and then dived to continue exploring.

A large number of parasitic snails were attached to the ship, and Ovid withdrew some of them, and still handed them over to Jiang Che.

Floating to the surface of the sea again, Ovid wiped the water from his face: "I can't recognize it. But it is completely different from the ships of the Marseille fleet."

Pierre's voice came from Jiang Che's communicator: "Where's Lin Ni? Did he recognize it?"

Ovid looked around, but did not find Linney on the sea.

With a shudder in his heart, he quickly took a deep breath and dived into the water again.

Linney was circling an entrance in the forward end of the ship.

Ignoring his objections and struggles, Ovid carried him upriver, and immediately punched him after getting out of the sea: "You want to die, but I don't want to! You moved around in the water and almost dragged me in too. Already!"

Lin Ni did choke on the water, and he admitted the punch.

After lying on the sand for a while, he coughed and said weakly: "I recognize it..."

He was so excited that he was speechless for a while.Tang Mo gently held his trembling hand: "Dear Lin Ni, you are too hungry."

Linney struggled weakly in her hand: "No...I recognize this ship...I know what it is."

When he was approaching the hatch at the front of the ship, a nearly transparent water-blue sea snake suddenly emerged from below, winding around his arm.And in the direction where the water snake came out, he saw a dense clump of coral.A gleaming silver sign hides behind coral.

It is a mark made of special metal materials that are difficult to corrode, and it is specially used to mark marks and names on various ships conducting space navigation.

Linney couldn't read the string of words, it wasn't a language he knew.

But every graduate of the Marseille Aerospace Academy, including him, will remember this logo.

At their graduating ceremonies, above the auditorium, they could see the names of countless ships carved into the ceiling.It was specially made by the Maasai to commemorate all the ships that disappeared during the "Great Retreat".

"It's the Clara Lessing," Linney whispered. "It's the third and last vanguard ship of the 'Great Evacuation'."

In the great retreat 500 years ago, in addition to a large number of carrier ships, civilian ships and military ships, there were three other pioneer ships.

According to the performance and tasks of the three ships, the Phoenix is ​​the chief vanguard ship, the Homer is the second, and the last ship is the Clara Lessing, which is now sunk in Virgil.

The first to be sacrificed was the Homer.It rescued the Phoenix, but disappeared in the star field full of complex gravity, and was never found again.

The second to disappear was the Phoenix.It led the fleet through almost two-thirds of the voyage, and finally fell into a strange galaxy due to the attack of alien creatures.

Only the last vanguard ship, the Clara Lessing, was left to lead the mission.

It's made by the French.The name comes from the famous painting "Liberty Leading the People" commemorating the July Revolution.The girl holding the tricolor flag in the center of the picture is Clara Lessing.

This vanguard ship is a symbol of freedom. After a long journey, people on earth are about to arrive in Marseilles, and they are about to touch freedom.

But after entering the Sirius planetary belt, due to the disappearance of a large number of transport ships, the fleet's fuel supply was seriously insufficient.After the Clara Lessing, which had run out of fuel, had transferred all the crew, the captain, along with the battered vanguard, broke away from the team.

"But there is no information that it fell on Virgil." Linney recovered, and his speech gradually became smoother, "I guess it may be because Virgil is the last reservoir in Marseilles, and Marseilles doesn't want us to know about this. The reservoir is actually polluted."

The sensation of the water snake winding around his arm was still very clear.

Linney shook hands: "It's been part of Virgil for 500 years."

Jiang Che sat beside him, watching the surging sea with him.Tang Mo was looking for small shells in the shallow sea, and Ovid was still drilling in and out of the sea, constantly throwing large oysters at Tang Mo's side.

"The ocean has the function of self-purification." Jiang Che said, "The Clara Lessing had no fuel at the time, and what fell into the sea was just a metal shell. Virgil spent hundreds of years getting along with it in harmony. Foreign objects pose no threat to Virgil's ocean."

"You're very good at comforting people," Linney said suddenly.

"The ocean is very powerful." Jiang Che smiled, "It won't care about such a small thing."

Tang Mo dragged a bagful of oysters in a net bag, and walked up with difficulty.Ovid emerged from the sea, holding a few water-blue sea snakes in his hands: "Jiang! Can snakes be eaten? Do you know how to make delicious snakes?"

"I don't understand." Jiang Che said immediately, "Throw it away."

Pierre's nervous voice came from the communicator: "I don't eat snakes, please don't catch snakes. Have you all finished eating? Is there anyone to replace me? I'm hungry too."

Lin Ni tapped on the communicator: "I'll go up to take over for you now. The crab is almost ready to be steamed. If you like spicy food, you can dip it in chili oil."

"By the way, Linney." Pierre said, "Song Junxing just sent a message asking if we caught fish, shrimp and crabs?"

Linney: "Caught it, finished eating, no part for him."

He thought for a while, and his expression became very serious.

"Don't you think Song Junxing is weird?" He asked Jiang Che, "He asked us to go to Greia F, and we found weapons and ships from Earth. He asked us to come to Virgil, and then we found the last A vanguard ship. Which planet would he suggest we go to next?"

Pierre on the lifeboat also heard him.

"What a coincidence..." He scratched his head, "Song Junxing said that there is a planet not far ahead with meat on it. He asked us if we want to eat meat and whether we want to go."

Linney: "..."

Jiang Che: "..."

Linney: "Meat...then, then, let's go."

The author has something to say: Notice: Ovid is going to molest Jiang Che.

The last chapter was written very happily, because I was a fishing girl www who lived by the sea since childhood.

I have never fished before, but I have grown up from a young age to catching crabs, digging snails, and catching shrimp.There are really a lot of delicious things on the fertile beach. Crabs are hidden in the sand, and seashells are also hidden in the sand. Bring tools, or explore with your hands and feet, and you can easily touch the things hidden in the wet sand. Shells and snails.Sandy land can also grow sweet potatoes, which are fragrant and powdery.

When I was young, I lived with my grandmother, and the house was right by the sea, less than 20 meters away.After opening the door, you can reach the beach by crossing the sandy road covered with morning glories on both sides. When the tide is high, the sea water will overflow to the door. At night, you can see fishing boats and hear the flute of the naval frontier guard.In the case of a typhoon, everyone should pack up and run to the shelter to stay.At that time, there were no snacks. The children lit a fire on the ground and roasted sweet potatoes and snails. The adults chatted on the other side, and there was a lot of wind and rain outside.

But now those are all gone.The real estate developer bought that beach and circled it, so that no one can enter except the owner.The beach was filled and the coastline pushed out hundreds of meters. The small crabs, snails and shells that were originally on the beach were all gone.
