Chapter 713: Chinese Splendid Lobster
Soon after, the fleet finally returned to Tangjia Village and docked at the fishing boat wharf in Langping Village, attracting a large group of seafood buyers.
Almost all seafood merchants know that the seafood caught by this fleet is of the highest quality.
Therefore, the seafood of the Weihang fleet has never been worried about sales. Usually just after landing, they are all contracted away.
Moreover, I didn't want to make a reservation. There are only a few old customers who have the opportunity to book, such as Wang Lisheng, Gu Yanji, and Zhao Wenchang.
"Are these more than 100 Chinese splendid lobsters really not for sale? I can pay a high price!" said a seafood merchant from out of town.
He set his sights on the batch of Chinese splendid lobsters that Tang Dehui and the others found, all of which were extremely large and rare! This kind of lobster is a local specialty of China, which is good-looking, rare, and very precious, and belongs to high-end goods.
Daniel Zhang waved his hand: "These lobsters are not sold, we keep them for food." ”
"What a waste of what you can eat!" the man said, beating his chest.
Tang Dehui told him that part of it was kept for food, and the other part was already booked by old customers.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yanji rushed over. He got the news that the fleet had received a lot of high-end cargo on this voyage. Not to mention yellow-lipped fish and bluefin tuna, there is also a batch of Chinese splendid lobsters.
It's all in his pocket, and it's not easy for others to snatch it.
Of course, Zhao Wenchang's guy will definitely get a piece of the pie. He is now the first to strike and try to fight for as many supplies as possible. Now, his business is slowly growing, very hot, and he has made a lot of money.
"Where's the Chinese splendid lobster? Let's go, go up and have a look first. "As the old saying goes, Jira got on Tang Dehui and hurried on the boat to take a look.
"It's all here, Brother Gu, let me tell you, this time there is a pair of lobsters with a body length of more than one meter, which is definitely a rare thing. Fang Zhen said to him.
It was they who finally caught it, and encountered a large wave of Chinese splendid lobsters that were migrating, so they let them pick up a cheap one and catch a small part.
I saw that this lobster was colorful, with a slightly cylindrical head and thorax, and spines of different sizes on the front edge. The body is green with a slightly blue cephalothorax, the second antennae peduncle is blue, the articulator is slightly pink, the first antennae and gait are conspicuously pale yellow and black rings, and the abdominal segments, including the middle dorsal part of the caudal peduncle, have a broad black transverse band.
It is said to be the largest lobster in size and is expensive!
"Look, it's those two, big, right?" Fang Zhen pointed to the two lobsters.
The two lobsters looked quite terrifying, they were very large, and the surrounding lobsters did not dare to approach the two of them. It seems that it is the king of Chinese splendid lobsters.
"We measured that the body was one meter two long and weighed more than nine pounds. Tang Dehui said.
The more Gu Yanji looked at it, the more he liked it, he didn't plan to eat the two big lobsters, so he took them back to the exhibition and raised them well. Such a big lobster is really rare.
He heard that a Chinese splendid lobster with a body length of one meter was once caught in other places, and it was sold for a sky-high price of more than 700,000 yuan. The two in front of me are even more terrifying.
"Tsk, I want it all. These two, I count them at 1.8 million. "As the old saying goes, good fortune is abundant.
He Huanghai and his retired navy soldiers, who had newly joined the Guardian Fleet, were all stunned when they heard this price. Two shrimps sold for 1.8 million yuan? Did they hear it wrong?
900,000 yuan for a shrimp? What are you kidding? Who can eat it?
But at this time, Zhao Wenchang also hurried over, and when he heard this, he immediately glared at Gu Yanji: "You kid is not kind, you want to swallow it alone?"
He pointed to the largest of them, estimated to be more than one meter three: "I want this one, a million!"
Gu Yanji jumped to his feet immediately, you are a descendant, and you still want to snatch the biggest one? Can you talk about the rules of coming and coming? There are no rules for doing business, like what?
"Lao Zhao, are you going to fight?"
"What kind of fight? When I came, I got angry with Brother Wei. The biggest lobster, given to me, do you have anything else to say?"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe you just called and asked, too lazy to tell you. Hey, who's going to help me separate it, and divide the others into two parts, and I'm going to pull them away right away. I've negotiated the price with your boss. The lobster is one million, and the others are calculated at three hundred yuan a catty. Zhao Wenchang said politely.
You know, splendid lobster may have been called "god shrimp" in ancient times.
In the Taiping County Chronicles, there is such a description: in the first year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fisherman got in the sea, more than three feet long, the first two pincers can be two inches, the end has a red beard more than a ruler, the head is like a number of liters, if the painting, the eyes, twelve feet, the text is like a tiger and a leopard.
They are said to live on slopes to deeper silty textures on the periphery of corals. It usually inhabits water depths of 1 to 10 meters, with the highest recorded depth of 145 meters, mostly in still water on reefs and reef slopes, and sometimes can also be found in muddy bottoms near estuaries.
It is nocturnal and hides in the cave during the day, revealing only two pairs of antennae and a head to sense the movement outside the cave, and goes out to forage for food at night. It mainly feeds on small fish, shrimp and crabs, small shellfish, sea urchins, barnacles, polychaetes, algae, etc.
This lobster crawls on its feet, does not like to swim, and is slow to move. The antennae are sensitive, and when encountering an enemy, turn the second tentacle to rub the articulator to make a squeak sound to scare the opponent. When frightened, he often bends his abdomen and bounces, and pulls backwards. He likes to fight, often attacks each other by diving, and has a habit of living in groups.
Usually, fishermen will be happy when they catch three or two, but they didn't expect that the Weihang fleet was as lucky as ever, and they caught so many.
The wholesale price of small Chinese splendid lobsters is more than two or three hundred yuan, and those with a body length of more than one meter like this can no longer be calculated by catties, and they are only sold. The main meaning, nor is eating.
Otherwise, a lobster is a million, hundreds of thousands, and not many people are really happy to eat it.
He Huanghai and they are already confused, no wonder, the boss is so profitable. No wonder the benefits given to the crew are so good.
"I don't want much tuna, just give me three tails. Zhao Wenchang said.
As the old saying goes, Ji is like thunder, and the three tails are not too much? Old Zhao, old Zhao! Why don't you go to heaven?
"No, at most you can pull two tails. I don't care about the Chinese splendid lobster. ”
"Can you care?" Zhao Wenchang said disdainfully.
The two quarreled again, and a large number of high-end seafood was gradually divided between the two of them.
He Huanghai and the others secretly calculated, and the total income from this trip to sea exceeded 20 million! They went to sea, that is, it was only two or three weeks!
It is said that this is not the most glorious moment. Even if you don't add the salvage of ancient shipwrecks, it's just a catch. At its most glorious time, the income of one trip exceeded 50 million, which was really terrifying!
