Carry an aquarium with you

Chapter 214 Shoveling Barnacles for Whales
"When will the whales come?" Qin Feng was chopping some vegetables in the yard of a local-style homestay on the Shiretoko Peninsula.

It has been two days since he came here, but he was very unlucky. When he came by boat, the whale didn't know where to go, and he couldn't go to watch the whale for a while.

"It should be soon, this group of whales won't run far, we can start when we get back." Lynch is currently marinating pieces of Tomahawk steak.

After marrying his wife, his cooking skills have improved a lot, so Hualiwu, who wants to be a housewife, often complains that he robs her of her job.

"You're not in a hurry. It's only mid-March, and it's not too far from the North Pole. You originally planned to visit the North Pole in summer, so you don't need to worry about time at all!"

Lu Wenbo enjoys the leisurely life now. The filming country is a big seafood country, and there are many kinds of seafood on the market. In the past two days, he has shot two more videos.

Now I am dealing with a three-pound corrugated lip fish, that is, the wrasse.

This fish is a protected animal in China, but it is allowed to be bought and sold here.

Qin Feng didn't think it was wrong to eat this kind of fish, because there are two Sumei fish breeding in his breeding space. At that time, this kind of fish will not be said to be flooded, but at least it will not be eaten to extinction.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the taste of the Sumei fish, and wanted to know whether the taste of this fish was worthy of its reputation.

In fact, considering the task of reproduction, Qin Feng collects crabs caught in crab pots, as well as other shellfish and snails.

Not to mention all kinds of fish, although they can't reproduce in the aquarium for the time being, but he still has to plan for the future.

There are too many species released in the breeding space, and it is very easy to have food shortages.

This requires Qin Feng to put a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs that can be used as food to supplement marine resources. What he can do is to ensure the ecological cycle as much as possible.

Fortunately, the aquarium will give reminders to release animals, so that he will not mess around by himself.

After all the vegetables were cut, Qin Feng moved out a stove and put a large iron pot on it.

Heat the pan and pour oil, then put the side dishes that you have cut into the pan and start to stir fry.

After the sauce was prepared in the pot, Lynch took the tomahawk steak that he had slightly marinated, and placed it along the pot surface piece by piece.

Qin Feng spooned the sauce over the steak and let it fry slowly.

Steak does not necessarily have to be eaten in a Western style. This kind of cooking is a bit similar to braised sauce, and he learned it after watching a video by chance.

Then I found that according to this method, the steak tasted different, with a stronger and more fragrant taste.

Lu Wenbo also started to make his own fish. Although the wraith weighs only three catties, he still made three ways to eat it.

If there is only one way of eating, it always feels like a waste of such high-end ingredients.

Three big men were cooking dinner at home, and two women went shopping with a child. Women are always more interested in novelty than men.

Hualiwu's daughter was not brought here, and they would not come to play for a long time, so the daughter was handed over to her parents.

When they came back from shopping, the wooden table in the yard was already filled with sumptuous dinners.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Qin Yang, who was carried back by Li Xinyue, immediately struggled to get off. After being put down, he immediately ran to the table to look around, and then stretched out his "claws" to grab it. Best tomahawk steak ever.

"Be careful!" Qin Feng was at the table, and immediately stopped him when he saw this, then brought a plate, put a piece of steak on the plate and handed it to his table.

As for whether Qin Yang can eat a piece of steak, he doesn't need to care about it. Anyway, the food that his son can't eat is either eaten by him or Li Xinyue.

After eating the meat, the remaining bones were put away and handed over to Xiaojin to deal with.

There is something for him to chew on so that he doesn't gnaw around on the boat, and he will be beaten if he is found.

It's early spring, and although the temperature is not high, eating in the yard at night is also very enjoyable.

"By the way, we went to ask today. The whales usually come back here in two or three days. I guess they can start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

After dinner, a group of people chatted in the yard.

Li Xinyue remembered that she asked Hualiwu to ask about the whale's whereabouts this afternoon, so she said.

"That's not bad, Brother Bo will go out to watch it if he has a chance." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Lu Wenbo couldn't stay here for too long, and it would be better if he could meet a whale.

As a result, the few people who thought the whale would come back soon spent a full week of farmhouse life and went to Okinawa for two days to play before they got the news that the whale was back.

They immediately packed up and took all the things they should bring, and by the way, they returned to the hotel and boarded the Canglong to set off.

After whale watching, they are ready to leave directly and go to the next place.

They originally planned to take a viewing boat, but Lu Wenbo's family had something to do and left three days ago, so they no longer considered coming back and chose to leave directly.

Before the Canglong left, the exit inspection was strictly enforced, but the exit inspection was just for show.

After the inspection, Qin Feng drove the Canglong to leave the pier, and followed the watch boat to the whale watching spot.

When they came to the whale watching site, they were immediately taken aback by the sight in front of them.

Along the way, they occasionally saw some baleen whales playing in the water, but because it was daytime, Qin Feng did not take these whales into the breeding space.

But then, they saw a large group of ornamental boats gathered together, so they also moved over curiously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came here, I saw a dozen huge humpback whales floating quietly on the water, and on them, some tourists put on the one-piece water suits worn by boatmen, holding a small The shovel scooped the whale.

But these are cone-shaped barnacles, and few people like to eat them, so no one collects them.

"It is said that now is the season to watch killer whales, but all we saw along the way were baleen whales. It turned out that this group of guys made trouble!" Li Xinyue sighed after seeing this scene.

"Haha, that's right, the big brother is here, how dare the orca dare to be presumptuous!" Qin Feng said with a smile, and then ran to the tool room to take out the pumping equipment and the small shovel of the overalls.

They also bought this equipment just in case before going to sea.I don't expect to be able to use it, but I have to prepare it, but I didn't expect it to be useful after I came here.

Soon, a group of people slowly approached the group of whales in a rubber boat.

At first, Qin Feng was a little worried that the group of whales would not let them, a group of strangers, approach.

But it turned out that this group of whales didn't bother to talk to them at all.

In other words, if someone helps to shovel barnacles, it's too late for them to be happy!

Lynch and Hualiwu were more courageous. After the rubber boat approached an empty whale, they tried to climb onto the back of the whale.

Seeing that the whale did not respond, they boldly began to shovel up the barnacles.

And because Qin Feng and Li Xinyue were taking Qin Yang with them, they sat on the rubber boat and helped the whale clean up the barnacles on the side.

Barnacles are the most important marine pollutants in the world. They can be distributed in the intertidal zone and subtidal zone of any sea area, and can grow on any hard objects in the sea.

For whales and sea turtles, barnacles are definitely the biggest threat besides humans.

Basically, 80% of sea turtles and whales have barnacles on their bodies, and the leatherback turtles that Qin Feng brought in before are no exception.

However, whales are slightly better than sea turtles. I usually see whales jumping out of the water or hitting rock ships on the sea to get rid of the barnacles on their bodies.

But the turtles can't help it. They grow on the shells and they have no other way except to ask humans for help.

After a while, Lynch slowly came to the position behind the whale's nostrils.

And at this moment, a jet of water suddenly sprayed out from the whale's nostrils, directly spraying him into a drowned chicken.

Hualiwu, who was sitting behind him, giggled immediately, and Qin Feng's family also gloated.

While they were shoveling barnacles for the humpback whales, after a while, a group of minke whales also swam over. They were also covered with barnacles, and they would come to ask for help.

"Mom, mom, look, there's another group of whales coming." Qin Yang, holding a small shovel, happened to spot the group of small med whales swimming, and immediately pointed to the other side and shouted.

"Hey, this whale looks like the group of Antarctic minke whales that we saw in Antarctica were hunted down by killer whales." Li Xinyue noticed this group of uninvited guests, and was slightly surprised when she saw their appearance.

"This is a small baleen whale, commonly known as a minke whale, which belongs to the family of baleen whales like the Antarctic minke whale." Qin Feng explained, and by the way, gave his son a little science.

"Small mediwhales usually gather in groups of [-] or [-], but they usually like to move alone and are scattered creatures. That is to say, they will keep a certain distance between them. They will only gather in a short time during mating. Together, this kind of situation is really rare now!"

"Father, what is mating?" Qin Yang asked with his big eyes blinking.

Li Xinyue was speechless when she heard the words, why did this son pay attention to these two words.

Lin Qi laughed out loud when he heard it, raised his eyebrows at Qin Feng with a playful expression, and then said to Xiao Qin Yang: "This mating!"

"Hey, hey, that's enough, aren't you afraid of teaching the kids badly?" Seeing that he was about to explain the meaning of these two words to his son, Qin Feng immediately interrupted him angrily.

"Haha, shouldn't this be cultivated from an early age!"

Lin Qi didn't seem to want to let it go easily, and wanted to continue talking, but he didn't expect Qin Feng to say something suddenly.

"Son, what does mating mean? You are still young, so you don't need to understand it. But when you grow up, you can go to Sister Lin and Sister Qin to experiment, and you will know what it means."

"Damn it, you are ruthless with the surname Qin. Don't have a daughter if you have the ability. If you give birth to me, I will immediately make a boy. See if I will teach my son Huo Huo your daughter." Lin Qi was furious when he heard this, his daughter was still a little girl, Is this what you're thinking about?
Also, just miss it if you miss it, what do you mean by bringing another one?
"Hey, let's talk about it first after you create a son!" Qin Feng, who had won a bit, stopped teasing Lynch, and the benefits of having a son were reflected at this moment.

After the laughter, several people continued to clean up the barnacles, but now Qin Feng collected all the barnacles that had been shoveled down.

It’s not that they eat it by themselves, the main reason is that the young seiwhals like to eat food like shrimp and shellfish, and barnacles are also in their diet.

After playing until dark, several people returned to the Canglong and continued to set off.

Qin Feng also took advantage of the darkness to collect four young mead whales and a pair of humpback whales, and started the related breeding tasks.

Because it is a mammal and the reproduction speed is slow, the growth speed of the reproduction space has been adjusted and increased to a hundred times.

Therefore, the number of animals required for release has also greatly increased, and [-] animals need to be released.

Out of the Sea of ​​Japan is the Far Siberian Mountains of Russia, which is a good place for hunting.

But because of the proximity to the sea, there are also many important ports along the coast, and there are crabbing groups like Alaska.

Qin Feng's plan is to cross the Bering Sea in summer, enter the Arctic Ocean, and then directly enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Arctic Ocean.

Otherwise, it would be too far to enter Canada from Alaska, sail all the way along the coast, and enter the Atlantic Ocean through the junction between North America and South America.

It's not yet April, so Qin Feng decided to play in Russia until June before leaving.

After all, he still has a high degree of favorability for this country, and he doesn't care about staying for a longer period of time.

The closest to the Shiretoko Peninsula is Russia's Sakhalin State, and the first place Qin Feng wants to log in is South Sakhalin.

They entered the waters of Sakhalin that night and notified the local coast guard to enter.

The inspections here are not as strict as those in the country where the film was made. I took out my documents to check, and then searched the ship roughly, and it was over.

Because the time is relatively late, everyone is tired after playing all day today, so they rest on the boat at night.

I didn't get off the boat until the next day, and walked into this picturesque city surrounded by mountains.

After entering this city, Qin Feng was surprised to find that there are a large number of people of yellow race living here.

Through understanding, he realized that these people were originally immigrants from the peninsula and filming countries. Walking on the road, they could see many Korean and Japanese restaurants, and they seemed to be very popular with the locals.

Another feature of this city is that there are almost no high-rise buildings here, perhaps because it is located in an earthquake-prone area, and low buildings will be safer.

April to October is the peak tourist season here. Qin Feng and others occasionally meet Chinese-speaking tour groups, which is rare to experience a sense of intimacy.

Everyone was walking around, and the sharp-eyed little Qin Yang suddenly found a small stall on the side of the road. He grabbed Qin Feng's clothes and pointed there, "Dad, look, our big crab!"

Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and suddenly showed a dumbfounding expression.

It turned out that a Russian beauty was selling some cooked and frozen king crabs. Everyone was a little curious about this, so they all came over.

Qin Feng looked at the cart and found that the crabs inside were all similar in size, and each one weighed four to five catties.

"Hello beauty, how do you sell this crab!" As a king crab dealer, Lynch was very curious about the price of the king crab here.

After all, Russia is closer to China, and the transportation is more convenient. If the price is cheaper, he must consider how to buy from here.

They even tried to find a way to open a crab fishing company here and get the quota for crab fishing.

Because of the mobile phone translator, the Russian beauty understood the meaning of Lynch's words and replied, "One thousand and thirteen rubles."

"!!!"

Everyone was shocked, thirteen rubles was almost one hundred and fifty RMB.

Although cooked and frozen, the price will be much cheaper than chilled ones, but a king crab of four to five catties only sells for 30, which is equivalent to a price of more than [-] catties, and the maximum price will not exceed [-].

This is cheaper than domestic swimming crabs, and it is also nearly half cheaper than the cooked and frozen crabs retailed in the Alaska market. Is it so outrageous?
