Chapter 146: Crab Trap
Time, another few days passed.
In the past few days, Xia Nan has been going to sea diligently, and every time he brings Shi Xiangxiang, Ah Hu, and Liang Meibao, who can be multiplied by luck but doesn't like him very much.
It's just a pity that the bearded man never appeared again. Moreover, the coast guard has never found the speedboat, and there has been no progress in the case.
However, there is one thing worth mentioning, that is, the Ah Hu invited by Xia Nan is really worth the money.
Ah Hu may not be too turnful in some things that require brains, but he is very diligent, as long as he sees that there is work, he doesn't need Xia Nan's instructions at all, and he will do it automatically!
In addition, in some ways, Ah Hu has also shown amazing talent.
In just a few days, he not only learned to swim, dive, and even learn to fish, but also fished more slippery than Xia Nan.
With the external bait given by the Sea King as the premise, and such a powerful helper, plus the female angler Liang Meibao, plus Xia Nan himself, the catch every time he went to sea exceeded 100,000 yuan.
Therefore, in the past few days, Xia Nan not only paid back the 500,000 yuan owed to Zhao Guangfa to buy instruments and equipment, but also saved hundreds of thousands of yuan in his own hands.
At this rate, in two or three months at most, he will be able to pay off the more than 8 million he owes Liang Meibao.
Although Liang Meibao did not urge, nor did he stipulate when he had to pay off the money, he was uncomfortable after all owing money to this woman.
He is still young, he still wants to work hard, and he doesn't want to eat soft rice, although many people say that soft rice is very fragrant!
The instruments and equipment required for the laboratory have arrived one after another!
That evening, when he came back from fishing at sea, he found that the five pieces of equipment that Liang Meibao had helped buy from abroad had also arrived!
Xia Nan unboxed them one by one, and then installed them with Ah Hu.
After tossing and turning for a long time, I finally got everything out of order, so I turned on the power supply, and all the instruments and equipment in the laboratory were working normally.
The small biosafety lab with the system requirements was finally completed.
Not only that, Xia Nan also set up a separate laboratory in the laboratory, and if there is a patient who needs to be tested in the future, as long as it is not a particularly complicated project, he can directly test it himself, and there is no need to send the sample to another place.
At this time, the system, which had been silent for several days, finally sounded, and it was fired three times in one shot!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: configure a small Level 1 security biological laboratory!Experience +600, Fame +5!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for upgrading to Lv14!"
"Ding! In view of the host's early completion of the side quest, the special reward skill book: first-level crab trap!"
Xia Nan was so happy when he heard that the skill book was rewarded, and quickly opened the attribute panel.
Host: Xia Nan

Xia Nan entered the second-level page of fishing, and saw that in addition to the original few skill books, there was another first-level crab trap. Busy checking out its detailed description.
Level 1 Crab Trap Formula (Upgradeable): A bait additive specifically designed to attract crabs!
Important: The first-level formula can only attract stone crabs, brown crabs, blue crabs and other crab species!
Xia Nan had an extra golden finger, and he was originally very happy, but when he saw the end, he found that the first-level crab trap agent was only useful for three kinds of crabs, and he immediately wanted to curse.
What about the high-yielding pike crab and orchid crab?
What about the expensive king crab, tiger crab?
Aquaman, are you a bit of a pit?
If I can only catch these three kinds of crabs, what's the use of me coming, do I have to make up the number of skills?
The system is as dick as ever, and he doesn't pay attention to him at all!
Xia Nan was originally so angry that he didn't want to, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he didn't need to be angry, now it was the fishing moratorium, and he couldn't go out to sea to fish at all, even if the crab trap could attract more crab species, it would be useless.
In addition, this is only a first-class crab trap, and it will naturally not attract many crab species, and it should be more when it is promoted to the second level.
Xia Nan saw that his money was worth 880,000, so he tried to upgrade.
System Prompt: Insufficient money to level up!
Well, you win!
Xia Nan turned off the attribute panel in a temperless manner and sat aside sullenly.
Seeing his expression, Ah Hu on the side couldn't help asking, "Brother Nan, why don't you look so happy?"
Xia Nan said: "I'm not happy, I'm just unhappy!"
"Oh!" Ah Hu nodded stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll tell you a good news to make you happy!"
Xia Nan asked lazily, "What?"
Ah Hu said: "We don't have to go to sea tomorrow!"
Xia Nandao: "Why?"
Ah Hu said: "When we came back in the evening, I heard from the management of the dock that there would be a typhoon tomorrow, and all the ships would not be able to go to sea. ”
Xia Nan was instantly angry, and couldn't help but give him an elbow, "Die stupid, is this good news?"
Ah Hu covered his head that was knocked out of pain, "Nan, Brother Nan, why is it not good news, we can be lazy tomorrow!"
Xia Nan said angrily: "If I can't go to sea, I won't have any income, how can I pay you a salary if I don't have income, how can I give you delicious food?"
Ah Hu's mind finally turned around, and he said in a daze: "Then I, Bai is happy?"
Xia Nan: "......"
Ah Hu's words, Xia Nan didn't dare to believe it, or didn't want to believe it, he still planned to continue to go to sea tomorrow, earn it 180,000, and pay off Liang Meibao's debt as soon as possible, so he took out his mobile phone to check the weather.
However, the fact is just like Ah Hu said, Typhoon "Fireworks" is forming, hitting the eastern part of Guangdong, Binhai is the path of the typhoon, not only can not go out of the sea tomorrow, but also in the next few days.
Xia Nan sighed and put away his phone, God was jealous that he earned too much, and punished him for being hungry for a few days.
Hey, didn't the system just reward crab traps?
Why don't you take advantage of the typhoon and try it?
Although there are not many species that can be attracted by the first-class crab trap given by the system, stone crabs, brown crabs, and blue crabs are the most common crab species along the coast, especially in some tidal flats and muddy fields, which are often the places where blue crabs like to hide.
Xia Nan thought about it like this, and said to Ah Hu with a smile: "Ah Hu, I'll tell you a real good news!"
Ah Hu asked suspiciously, "What?"
Xia Nan said: "We have to work overtime tonight!"
Ah Hu habitually scratched his head and said, "Brother Nan, what kind of good news is this?"
Xia Nan said: "If you want to work overtime, it is equivalent to making money, and if you have money, I can make you eat better and fuller!"
When Ah Hu heard that there was something to eat, he immediately grinned, "Okay, okay, then let's go to sea now and come back before the typhoon comes." ”
Xia Nan shook his head, "Now the wind has begun to blow on the sea, and I can't go out." ”
Ah Hu was puzzled and said, "Then what kind of shift?"
Xia Nan said: "Work overtime at home!"
Ah Hu is still confused, "???"
Xia Nan snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go, let's go to the street." ”
The two left the old house laboratory, went home and drove Su Xingwang's tricycle, and then drove Ah Hu to the street.
After arriving on the street, Xia Nan found a shop that sold home-brewed rice wine, and he was about to walk in!
"Brother Nan!" Ah Hu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "We are not adults, so we can't drink!"
Xia Nan smiled: "We don't buy wine!"
"But what else is there to sell here besides wine?" Ah Hu scratched his head and looked at the store, and found that the proprietress was a young woman with excellent charm, and suddenly said: "Brother Nan, I understand!"
Xia Nan said: "What do you understand?"
Ah Hu quietly pointed at the proprietress of the house, "What kind of wine are you talking about!"
Xia Nan struggled for a long time to understand what he meant, "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink?"
Ah Hu laughed, "Yes, it's this wine!"
Xia Nan sweated, "I said why don't you kid turn his brain, it turns out that all his thoughts are used on how to learn to be a man!"
Ah Hu was stunned and said, "Learn to be a man?"
Xia Nan didn't pay any attention to him, walked straight in, bought eighty large wine jars that could hold a hundred catties of wine from the proprietress and asked her to send them to her home.
After that, he went to pharmacies, chemical reagent stores, grocery stores, supermarkets, and purchased a bunch of messy things.
After a hurried dinner, he took the pile and went into the lab.
Ah Hu has been following Xia Nan to help, but he doesn't understand what Xia Nan is doing, so he can only do whatever he wants to do like a tool man.
The two of them were busy, and it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night.
When Ah Hu was yawning sleepily, he suddenly heard Xia Nan shouting: "Okay, it's done!"
Ah Hu, who was in a bit of a trance, looked at it and found that there was already a plate of something similar to white tofu on the experimental table in front of him, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was soft, and the Q bomb was strong, like silicone!
It feels pretty good, Ah Hu couldn't help but scratch and scratch, and then he went up and smelled it, and then he almost vomited, this thing has an inexplicable smell, a bit like carrion, smoking, but with a strong fishy smell.
The taste was quite complicated, but it was definitely not what Ah Hu liked, he hurriedly went to wash his hands, and only when he came back did he ask, "Brother Nan, what is this?"
If it was a vegetable leaf that fished for three days and dried the net for two days, Xia Nan didn't bother to explain so much, but Ah Hu was quite diligent and so obedient, he wanted to teach a little more, in case this product could take over his shift in the future, so he didn't have to work so hard?
"Ah Hu, this thing is called crab trap!"
"Meat crumbs?"
"It's not the meat you eat, it's the lure of lure, something that attracts crabs!"
"Oh-oh!" Hu's sudden realization, "We're using this thing to catch crabs, aren't we?"
"Yes, we put it in the jar, and when the tide goes out, we bury the jar in the muddy ground of the tidal flat, and the mouth of the jar is parallel to the mud surface, so that when the tide rises, the crabs will smell the crab trap and will climb in and eat it. When the tide goes out, we'll collect it. ”
"Won't it escape?"
"The inner wall of the jar is very smooth, and the crab's feet are very hard, and it can't climb the inner wall, it can't climb out, and as long as there is something to eat in it, it won't escape. Got it?"
"It's so simple, of course I understand, Brother Nan, do you think I'm really stupid?"
“......”
Xia Nan took a knife and cut the crab trap that had been made on the table into pieces of tofu, and then put them into the wine jar.
By the time everything is done, the sky will already be overcast!
The two of them used a tricycle to carry the wine jar to the nearby tidal flat, and when the tide was just receding very dry, Xia Nan and Ah Hu put on waterproof pants and walked down a canal in the middle, while burying the jar in the silt on both sides of the canal.
After several trips back and forth, all eighty jars were buried.
However, the harvest is obviously not so fast, and it will take at least a day or two to harvest, so Xia Nan took Ah Hu back to rest.
slept until noon, Xia Nan was woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone, took it from the table to take a look, and found that it was Zhao Guangfa calling, "Brother Fa, what's the matter?"
Zhao Guangfa said on the other end of the phone: "Doctor Xiaoxia, my younger brother found the speedboat when he went out to collect seafood. ”
