Doesn't it look a lot like a durian?
These goose barnacles are growing even better than yesterday's; you can easily dig up a large chunk with a shovel.
It's a round lump, and it looks a bit like the palm-sized durian that's been trending online lately.
These barnacles on the rock face all grow on the outside, and with a little force from the shovel, they can be ripped off in one piece.
Unlike yesterday's, which were all stuck in the cracks in the rocks and couldn't be scraped off, requiring pulling and leaving them in small pieces.

The palm-sized goose barnacles were shoveled off, and the little spiky balls were placed in the bucket, making it look like a bucket of mini durians.
A bucket of durian
Chen Zhiyao glanced back and thought, "Hmm, I kind of want to eat durian."
I sold my fish catch that evening and bought two to take home.
Except for the smaller ones which she kept to continue breeding, she picked all the remaining goose barnacles, filling the large bucket at her feet to more than half full.
Thinking that she would be going beachcombing later, Chen Zhiyao put the goose barnacles from the bucket into the net bag, filling two large net bags.
She carried two bags of goose barnacles, beaming as she weighed them in her hands; they must have weighed over ten pounds.
Another two or three thousand yuan came in.
After a brief moment of happiness, Chen Zhiyao went back to work.
Besides these precious goose barnacles, there were also two bread crabs weighing over a pound hidden in the crevices under the large rock.
Bread Crab +2
Flower snail +4
Scallops +3
Meanwhile, Chen Weiqiang, who was on the far right, was also overjoyed.
After he finished digging up the remaining goose barnacles from yesterday, he saw that the seawater had almost receded to its lowest point, so he walked around the rocks towards the sea.
Unexpectedly, in the direction facing the sea, there was another small patch of particularly plump goose barnacles.
Besides these, there were also quite a few general's hats and large abalone.
This location is constantly being washed by the waves, and the top-quality seafood here grows exceptionally well, but harvesting it is very difficult.
It was only because the sea level had just receded to its lowest point that Chen Weiqiang was able to take advantage of the situation.
The seawater had receded to the very back, but the waves still kept splashing onto Chen Weiqiang's legs.
There were two particularly large waves that almost knocked him over.
With each plump goose barnacle, a giant scallop, and a half-pound abalone, Chen Weiqiang's smile grew even brighter.
Looking at these valuable treasures, he was already happily thinking about what car he would get next year.
Tangtang said she wanted to learn to drive, so the old car is perfect for her to practice on.
Compared to the father and daughter who had a great harvest, Grandpa Chen's progress was much slower.
The bucket in my hand was filled with many things, but most of them were various kinds of sea snails and crabs.
In the net bag in his left hand, there was a bag full of spicy snails.
Normally, this would be a pretty good haul, but after yesterday's goose barnacles, the old man got a little cocky and thought these things were too cheap.
Chen Zhiyao had just finished tidying up her things and was about to continue walking when she saw a large spider snail at the bottom of the puddle ahead.
Spider snail
"This spider snail is quite big, it must weigh at least a pound."
As she spoke, she picked up the strangely shaped sea snail, but as soon as she touched it, she felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, when you flip it over, you find an octopus living inside.
Sensing danger, the little octopus curled up into a ball, trembling as it hid at the very back.
Chen Zhiyao has collected several of these spider snail shells, but she doesn't plan to bring this one because she thinks it's too heavy.
She used a pair of tongs to pull the octopus out, then casually tossed the heavy shell into a puddle.
This snail shell won't be wasted; it will soon become home to other small seafood.
Continuing towards the sea, Chen Zhiyao arrived at a coral reef.
The oddly shaped corals provide habitats for a variety of marine life, and there are clearly more treasures here than in other places.
As soon as she looked down, she saw a fist-sized, golden sphere hidden in a crevice of the coral reef.
Moreover, there were several smooth, round snails next to it, which looked like flower pebbles.
Coconut snail +1
Piglet snail +5
The coconut snail wasn't very big, but Chen Zhiyao still examined it carefully twice, but unfortunately there were no Melo pearls inside.
That's normal, though. The two coconut snails that had melon seeds last time weighed four or five pounds each, while the one I have now weighs only about a pound at most, and it hasn't grown big yet.
After taking two more steps, Chen Zhiyao discovered a small, pointed corner under a rock.
With the help of X-ray glasses, she immediately saw that it was a conch shell, and there was another one hidden deep inside the crevice.
Conch +2
Just as she put the conch shell down, Chen Zhiyao looked up and saw a dark shadow dart past to her right before disappearing into a crevice in the rocks.
Judging from its shape, it must be a moray eel or a sea eel, so she quickly gave chase.
As she approached, Chen Zhiyao saw a small tail, about the length of a finger, peeking out from the crevice in the rock.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, the little guy became quite alert and immediately squeezed its exposed tail into the crevice between the rocks.
The rock in front of us is quite large, probably weighing one or two hundred pounds.
Chen Zhiyao spent a lot of effort to lift it up, but unexpectedly, in addition to a large eel, there were also many sea snails hidden underneath.
Flower snail +3
Horseshoe snails +2
Snail +4
Suddenly, she heard a sound to her left. Turning around, she found a small puddle covered with lush green seaweed.
Beneath the seaweed, several brightly colored coral fish were hiding.
Bluefin bream +1
Butterflyfish +2
Striped pepper snapper +1
Spinetail +1
These are all expensive sea fish. Just these few beautiful little fish are probably worth several hundred yuan. Chen Zhiyao's eyes narrowed with joy.
These fish are so beautiful that she would have liked to keep them and raise them herself if she hadn't thought about how she couldn't keep them alive.
Chen Zhiyao walked forward, turning over stones, and her bucket gradually filled up.
Octopus +5
Red Flower Crab +2
Blue Crab +3
Orchid Crab +2
Conger eel +3
...
As they walked to the point where the rocky beach met the sea, the sharp-eyed Chen Zhiyao spotted two particularly beautiful little abalones on the ground.
"Why are these two abalone on the ground? Could they be dead?"
Chen Zhiyao picked up the two abalones from the ground and poked the abalone meat a couple of times with her hand. Although she was not very agile, at least they were still alive.
The two little ones looked listless; they must have been knocked down by the waves.
Abalone +2
