Chapter 307: Unexpected Joy

The next day, the girls who came to rest were going to Newfoundland to go shopping, this time there was no need for Ye Luo to lead the team, Dast and Renison were more suitable than the two tour guide girls, and their familiarity with Newfoundland was not comparable to Ye Luo's half-ass.

Ye Luo took this opportunity to enjoy the hard-won cleanliness on the beach with cold drinks and sea breeze, and watched Thomas, Robert and Wiggins go to the sea to catch seafood.

At noon, the girls came back with big bags.

Ye Luo shook his head and consciously returned to the cafeteria to prepare lunch.

He remembered that when he saw the girls off in the morning, they probably found out about the fishing ground from Dast and the others, and told him directly that he wanted to eat seafood at noon.

Ye Luo didn't want to go into the water, so he had to let Thomas and them get seafood, while he was lazy on the beach.

Not to mention, after two months, the size of the queen crab, lobster, abalone and other seafood in the fishery has grown more than one size, although it does not meet the standard of sale, it can still be eaten.

After lunch, Ye Luo went home and rested for a while.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Luo planned to go out, ready to continue his hard work as a tour guide.

Scarlett asked strangely, "You're just in charge of developing resources, why do you want to be a tour guide yourself?"

"Domestic tour guides are even less familiar with this place, most of the people on the island don't know Chinese, as for Dust, those who know some Chinese also have jobs, and I have nothing to do alone, so I have to bring it. Ye Luo sighed.

Scarlett smiled and said, "It's a bit overkill for you to get out of the race, right?

Scarlett's recruitment had all been transferred to Jesper, and he had known about it for a long time, because it was still through him.

may have suddenly become idle, Scarlett was a little unaccustomed to it, so she took the initiative to take over the work of the tour guide.

Ye Luo was immediately overjoyed, Scarlett is proficient in the languages of several countries, because her grandfather is Chinese, although she grew up in France, but she has been under the influence of her grandfather since she was a child, she is very familiar with China's national conditions, culture, traditions and other things, she has done more work, basically belongs to the service industry, if she leads the team, it is naturally the best.

Ye Luo told Lin Kai about it, and Lin Kai couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately came to Ye Luo's house to talk to Scarlett in detail.

Both parties were satisfied with the results of the conversation, Scarlett was on the front line, Lin Kai handed over all the things to her in charge of auditing, and she could put all her mind on shooting small videos and uploading them to the forum to attract tourists.

Ye Luo is the happiest here, with Scarlett's beauty and temperament, he can be the image ambassador of Miracle Island with a little packaging, and now the promotion of Miracle Island's tourism industry will become smoother.

The most unhappy are the beautiful domestic tourists, they are not here to travel, or rather, their first purpose is not to travel.

Now that the golden beetle son-in-law can't see it, there is a mixed-race beauty who is even more beautiful and elegant than them, and she is simply depressed.

Ye Luo didn't care, anyway, with Scarlett's help, then he didn't have to spend his time on accompanying these girls to wander around the island, and he could completely shift his attention to the fishing grounds.

After all, he didn't manage the fishing grounds much because he went to sea during this period of time, and now that he is free, he plans to study it carefully.

When consciousness turned to the fishing grounds, the first thing I saw was a group of queen crabs appearing in the shallow waters, waving their claws and constantly digging in the sand.

Ye Luo's consciousness looked at it from a distance and found that they were digging some sea mussels to eat,

The planed sea mussels are the size of a palm, and the color is grayish and white with stripes.

Didn't these guys dig out all his scallops?

Ye Luo was startled, and took a closer look, daring to worry about himself, these are not scallops.

Just as they were about to leave, the mussels felt consciousness and opened their shells to stretch out their bodies.

The shells unfolded, and the first thing that came out was a meat tube, and the leaves fell a little strangely, and he thought that the shells that stretched out first were their crown feet.

What made him even more strange was that the tubes of flesh protruding from these shells were long, stretching all the way like an elephant stretching its curled trunk straight.

The unfolded meat tube was fat and large, and the sea mussel rolled, looking for seaweed fragments in the seawater through the meat tube, and ate it slowly.

Damn, why does this thing look familiar?

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood the identity of these guys, this is geoduck!

Ye Luo has an understanding of this kind of sea mussel, and he has been trying to breed lobsters and sea mussels for a while now, but Dust told him that the timing was not right.

Lobster and shellfish farming is best carried out in late autumn, because fish, crabs and other predators at this time have low metabolism and eat less, so they are less harmful. If it is farmed in summer, as soon as the shrimp fry and shellfish fry are thrown in, it is estimated that they will be eaten up by the big fish and crabs.

Geoduck, known as Pacific mud clam, is a high-grade seafood in the Far East, both Chinese and Japanese.

As the scientific name suggests, it is native to the Pacific region, and is specifically produced off the coast of the North Pacific in the United States and Canada.

In the past, the inhabitants of North America did not eat geoducks, so geoducks grew well.

But since Asian immigrants began to prey on geoducks in North America, the local geoducks have become endangered.

The Newfoundland government also saw a business opportunity from this, following the depletion of cod stocks, which was one of the commercial species introduced by the government to address the crisis in fishing grounds at the time.

Unlike the squeamish turbot, geoduck survives in the waters around Newfoundland, and because the ocean here has a cold and warm current, the food is more abundant, and the geoduck grows quite optimistically.

However, when it came to harvest time, a problem arose.

Geoduck mussels in the Pacific Ocean can live in shallows, such as the inland waters of Pujie Bay and the Colombian fishing area, but in the Atlantic, they change their habits and run to the deep sea, where they live on the sandy bottom.

In this way, the fishing cost is large, and the sand particles on the seabed must be blown away by a compressor during the catch, and then divers must be sent to pick them up, which is very expensive for labor.

In fact, the Newfoundland government is not afraid of high labor costs, as long as it can be sold at a high price in the Far East, it will be fine?

However, the cheating daddy happened.

In 2930, the Huaxia Fisheries Bureau introduced this sea mussel from North America and began to cultivate it in captivity.

Since there are many sea areas in northern China that are suitable for its growth, as long as the introduction of mussels, artificial seedling production is carried out. Then using the heating stimulation method, the hatching rate of mussel seedlings can reach 80%-90%, and then planted in the fishery, waiting for the harvest.

As for the high labor costs at harvest time?

Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Laojia!

We are all expensive in China, and the labor cost is cheap.

What makes the Newfoundland government laugh even more is that geoducks seem to be brothers of the socialist camp, and when they go to the coastal areas of China, they do not go to the deep sea to survive......

The Newfoundland government was stunned at the time, did it still grow geoduck?

No, it turns out that this thing is thriving in the Newfoundland fishing grounds.

Plant, what to fight with Huaxia?

People have cheap labor costs and don't need freight, and Newfoundland vomits blood if the price war can be fought.

After combining various factors, in the end, geoduck became chicken ribs in the Newfoundland fishing grounds, and it was a pity to discard it if it was tasteless.

The government of Newfoundland simply doesn't care, if there is a fisherman who catches it, then it is packaged as high-end ingredients and shipped to the Far East, and if there is no fishing, then forget it.

This is the reason why there are geoducks in the Yeluo fishing grounds, and Yeluo went around the fishing grounds and found that there are quite a few of them, from the offshore to the deep sea, the offshore waters are geoduck seedlings, and the deep sea is the adult geoducks.

Adult geoducks are big creatures, their shells can reach 40 centimeters in length and weigh nearly 10 kilograms!

Ye Luo saw a lot of this kind of big mussels in the deep sea area, of course, this is normal, after all, geoduck is an old birthday star that can survive for 150 years!

Of course, most geoducks are still about one kilogram, and this size is also the best time to eat and the meat is the most tender.

The leaves of the geoduck in the deep sea area were going to be kept and reproduced, so he planned to look in the shallow water to see if there were any geoducks that did not choose to live in the deep sea area, but he did not expect to be seen by him more than a dozen, and immediately wrote down the location in his heart, and decided to find a time to catch it and eat it at night.

It was a surprise to find geoduck in his own fishing grounds, and for the Newfoundland government, geoduck was a chicken rib, and for Ye Luo, it was a treasure!

Geoduck is expensive, and Newfoundland is more expensive than bluefin tuna because of the lack of pollution in the deep sea, pure wild, pure natural, if you only talk about the price of meat.

As for the most troublesome fishing problem of the Newfoundland government, it is very simple for him, those in the deep sea may not be easy to fish, but the shallow sea area is much simpler, you can catch 5,000 kilograms a day, and then in the harvest season, these geoducks in the fishing grounds alone can increase his financial income, but not prestige.

After all, this thing is not purchased from the system's [Super Mall], and even if it is sold, it can only get money, and it is impossible to gain prestige at all.

It didn't matter to Ye Luo whether he had prestige or not, he knew that his fishing ground was too big, and it was completely impossible to get all those seafood seedlings from the [Super Mall] to breed.

If it's a farm and a ranch, it's okay, although the pit is a little pitted, at least it's still within his acceptable range, but the fishing ground is different, it's a bottomless super god pit for him, and choosing to buy fish fry with prestige is almost like throwing money into the sea, and it can never be filled!

Except for the unexpected joy of geoduck, the fishery has not changed much in other aspects, except that the fish are bigger, and it is estimated that by about July and August this year, the fishery will almost start to produce.

The black lipped oysters he bought from the [Super Mall] also survived very well in the coral reef sea area, and Ye Luo took a look and found that some of the large shellfish had round black pearls in them. In his eyes, this is not a black bead, but a golden bead.

Seeing the black lipped mussels, Ye Luo couldn't help but think of the huge scallops in Luofei Bay, that thing tasted really good, and there was a chance to see if it could be introduced.

As for the gooseneck barnacles, they hang on the coral reef and grow well, and they are well fed, and when the leaves are ready for them to reproduce, they are led to the docks.

It's a parasite for sharks, whales, boats, and the like, but for the docks, gooseneck barnacles are natural protective clothing that can help protect the docks from the waves.

Of course, best of all, they grow on the docks and are also easier to pick!
