?Chapter 276: Chapter 231: Pry Off Several Dozens of Pounds of Goose Neck Barnacles Chapter 276: Chapter 231: Pry Off Several Dozens of Pounds of Goose Neck Barnacles Chu Mingcheng was pleasantly surprised this time, as he hadn’t carefully checked the sea turtle’s back earlier. He thought trouble had come knocking, but it turned out to be money coming his way.

The sea turtle’s back was like carrying a small mountain, with barnacles densely covering its entire shell.

But that wasn’t the main point. After Chu Mingcheng scraped off the sea mud and algae covering it, he found goose barnacles underneath, not the common volcano-like barnacles.

Even though the price for goose barnacles wasn’t high domestically, only about one hundred and fifty yuan per jin, the turtle was huge, about the size of a mini electric car, so the barnacles scraped off it wouldn’t be few.

If they had been the volcano-like barnacles, it would have been a hassle.

Such barnacles were cheap, wild ones varied in size, small ones were worthless, and there wouldn’t be too many large ones.

Plus, they were more troublesome to pry off, not as easy as goose barnacles, which came off easily and in clusters.

No one knew how long those barnacles had been growing on the sea turtle’s back, but he estimated it was at least five years.

Carrying such a heavy burden for five years without dying only showed how tenacious the turtle’s life force really was.

“This turtle is way too big, I feel like it could even carry me around the ocean,” Jiang Luoluo walked up close, gestured to size up the turtle, and exclaimed in amazement.

“Carrying you would definitely be easy. Just the barnacles and mud on its back might weigh more than I do,” Chu Mingcheng said with a smile, handing her a net bag to put the Nine-Section Shrimp away and fetch a basket and a dagger to join him in prying off barnacles from Big Coins.

After a while, Jiang Luoluo put away the Nine-Section Shrimp and returned the net bag to him, and they both got to work.

Chu Mingcheng would pry off a piece, shake it in the seawater a couple of times to mostly wash off the mud, then put the barnacles in the net bag.

This was just preliminary processing, as there were still some algae and unknown marine plants entangled on the barnacles that all needed to be cleaned off later.

Jiang Luoluo, on the other hand, was more straightforward; she pried them off and threw them directly onto the deck to clean later all at once.

This task took several hours.
