Chapter 119: The King of Prawns!
The reason why Chen Hao dared to conclude that these farmed large yellow croakers in the barrel had all become wild was based on the characteristics of this fish.
First, the large yellow croaker cultured in cages, due to the narrow living space, coupled with the perennial artificial feed stealing, so that the lack of exercise, the tail will appear very short after growth, and the head of the fish will be very large. The head of the wild large yellow croaker is obviously narrow under the action of the current, and the tail is also slender.
The second is the difference in the color of the lips and scales. The food of wild large yellow croaker is all natural, coupled with the scarcity of size, the wild environment provides sufficient food, and the wild large yellow croaker that is generally caught in the net has red fish lips and golden scales.
However, the large yellow croaker cultured in cages is obviously competing for food because there are more of the same kind in a water area. As a result, the intake of nutrients for each large yellow croaker is insufficient, resulting in the color of the fish scales and lips being a little light.
These key points for identifying large yellow croaker were learned by Chen Hao at his parents' seafood stall when he was a child.
Therefore, after confirming that all 8 large yellow croakers in the barrel have changed from a farmed state to a purebred wild state. Chen Hao's eyes were like light bulbs with the "$" symbol!
"Rich!"
"It's really going to be a windfall now!"
Chen Hao happily put away the 8 mutated big yellow croakers, and by the way, he stole a handful from the fish food bag of the Sao Bao Arowana, and quietly fed these 8 big treasures that were comparable to gold.
But to Chen Hao's surprise, after devouring his own [Fish-Man Blood], none of these mutated big yellow croakers had any desire to eat.
So much so that after observing for a long time, Chen Hao put the bucket containing the big yellow croaker aside.
"I just don't know what happened to the other pike crab and nine-section shrimp. Chen Hao scratched his head, and after putting the 8 big yellow croakers on the pumps, he turned his attention to the other two buckets.
It's just that as soon as this eye was aimed over, Chen Hao was stupid!
Because at the edge of the plastic bucket containing the pike crab, there is a huge female crab, wielding tongs, intending to "escape" from the bucket.
The reason why Chen Hao could recognize this as a female crab at a glance was actually because the female pike crab that had eaten the [Fishman's Blood] actually glowed with a layer of rich orange and yellow color at the edge of its crab shell!
Everyone knows about crab roe, right?
This thing is the most precious part of a crab's body!
Generally, only mature female crabs will grow a small handful of this magical delicacy that is as yellow as a paste.
But the problem is that Chen Hao, a female pike crab that has changed from a different shape, has skyrocketed in size by more than several times not only after molting. Even the crab roe in its body swelled to the point of almost overflowing.
"it!"
"I picked up all the little crabs before!"
"How can this female pike crab grow so big?"
"And this crab roe ...... It's almost out of the body!"
Chen Hao quickly caught the female crab, and when he threw the other party on the electronic scale, an astonishing "700 grams" directly burst out Chen Hao's eyes!
"Damn!700g?!"
"Can a pike crab grow to 1 catty and 4 taels?" Chen Hao felt that his worldview of the pike crab was directly shattered by the value displayed on the electronic scale.
Because, the crabs that Chen Hao bought back from the aquatic city are called "three-wart crabs". It is also the most widely eaten aquatic sea crab by humans so far.
But the problem is that this kind of "three-wart crab" grows up, generally in 250 grams, that is, about half a catty. The bigger ones can grow to 1 pound.
But the live female crab in Chen Hao's hand actually easily reached a height of 1 catty and 4 taels after devouring the [Fishman's Blood].
If this spreads, it is estimated that many well-known hotels will compete for the pike crab in Chen Hao's hand.
This is not just a matter of weight, the female crab caught by Chen Hao is even in a state of semi-overflow of the crab roe in her body. Looking at the tender shell that has just been molted, the orange-red crab roe is even more eye-catching as if it has been brushed with a layer of paint.
Such a perfect pike crab, Chen Hao can't find the words to describe it.
"I remember that a pound of male crabs has been sold for a pound of 110 yuan at the market price, this kind of 1 pound of four taels of female crabs, how much is the right price?"
"200 yuan for 1 catty?"
"Or is it about selling?"
Chen Hao swallowed his saliva, he understood the truth that this thing is vaguely precious.
In particular, the wild-caught aquatic product of pike crab is a popular table delicacy for the general public.
Although the market price of this crab is not as high as the price of the previous 8 mutated into wild large yellow croaker. But in Chen Hao's hands, even the most ordinary pike crab can turn you into a cash cow!
……
After inspecting the pike crab, Chen Hao went to the bucket of the nine-section shrimp with great expectations.
Sure enough, it was originally a nine-section shrimp cultured in cages. After eating the [Fish-Man Blood] that Chen Hao was fed, they all showed a mutation to a wild state.
In particular, the original light-colored pattern of shrimp has shown a faint light red pattern after several molts and growth.
"Haha!"
"The farmed ones become wild, and the price of this 1 catty can rise by at least 80 yuan!"
Chen Hao happily reached out and fiddled with the bucket, but before he could pull his hand out, a super-large shrimp that was submerged under the water and showed more than 30 knots crawled directly onto the back of Chen Hao's hand.
At this time, the calm Chen Hao was taken aback.
You must know that the reason why the shrimp in this bucket is called "nine-section shrimp" is entirely based on the shell nodes of this shrimp.
Starting from the stage of shrimp seedlings, if you raise them for a period of time, the shell of these nine shrimps will come out because of the molting and growth. As for the color of the quilt on the shell, it will also become a little darker.
Figuratively speaking, this thing is just like the bamboo planted by people in the south, which increases with age.
In the eyes of knowledgeable diners, only shrimp that grow to nine or more knots are the fattest, fullest and juiciest.
But the problem is that the nine-node shrimp that climbed into Chen Hao's hand, whether it is weight and size, as well as the shrimp shell nodes on its body, are more than 3 times that of normal adult shrimp.
"it!"
"These nine shrimps have become fine, right?
"If you continue to grow longer, you can probably catch up with the lobster, right?" Chen Hao couldn't help but exclaim two sentences in his mouth. It was only in the next second that his open mouth began to close.
Because the king shrimp who climbed on the back of his hand was actually waving the translucent shrimp legs on his abdomen at the same time. With its flexible and light mouthparts, he slowly explored the wound on his index finger that was cut with a knife before slowly exploring Chen Hao!
