Chapter 441: Little Turtle
Following the direction of Will's finger, Qin Xu looked over, it was a tuna with a body length of nearly two meters and was frozen.
After taking a closer look, Qin Xu looked at Will in surprise, "This is a yellowfin tuna?"
Will smiled and nodded, "Yes, boss, I didn't expect to get such a big guy when I went down to the first net." ”
Qin Xu patted Will on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Man, good job." ”
Qin Xu was really satisfied with Will's harvest, not to mention anything else, just this nearly two-meter-long yellowfin tuna had already fished back all the capital this time.
Not only the oil money, but also the fishermen's wages and bonuses that will be paid later.
Pointing to the freezer on the other side, Will smiled and said, "Boss, there are still a lot of good fish here, do you want to take a look?"
Qin Xu nodded and followed him to the other side.
Here, Simon and Aiden are still busy sorting out these fish, and they have to sort these guys into categories, but they can't sell those precious fish cheaply.
"Boss, you see, these are eastern star groupers, these are sea bass, and these, all of them are tuna, but they are not too big, and the varieties are very average. ”
Will pointed to the full warehouse of fish, and introduced it to Qin Xu little by little.
You must know that when they went to sea this time, they made more than a dozen tons of catch, which dazzled Qin Xu.
"Hey, what kind of fish is that?"
Qin Xu looked at the big fish in front of him that was more than a meter long, slightly flattened, streamlined, and had high raised fins on its back, and asked Will curiously.
Will walked over and looked at it, and introduced with a smile: "Boss, this is a sailfish, if it weren't for the size of the yellowfin tuna, the value wouldn't be much worse than it." ”
Qin Xu smiled with satisfaction, didn't say anything, looked at the time, it was only past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still too late, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Mu.
"Haha, big boss, do you have any advice?"
Chen Mu sat in his office, waved his hand at a chef in front of him, and said into the phone with a smile.
Qin Xu didn't expect that Chen Mu, who was usually more rigorous, actually began to tease him, and shook his head with a wry smile, this is probably what people learn from them.
"Brother Chen, I just went to sea today and got some good seafood, do you want to come and pick some?"
"Oh, there's something good?"
Chen Mu couldn't help but sit up straight, and without waiting for Qin Xu to answer, he said hurriedly: "Then wait for me to go over." ”
Qin Xu listened to the busy sound of 'beep' in his ears and looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
Grandma's, if this is in China, with this attitude of daring to hang up the boss's phone, he can be opened.
But thinking of being in the United States now, he sighed helplessly, "This guy, I didn't learn the good ones, but I learned a lot of the bad ones." ”
After watching it for a while, Qin Xu didn't have much interest, there were fish everywhere, and his gluttonous insects came out.
Coming to the deck, looking at the sparkling sea under the sunset in the distance, as well as the seabirds playing in the air, and the poor little fish that died in the belly of the birds, Qin Xu couldn't help but be a little stupid.
Shirley, who was next to her, suddenly reached out and pulled Qin Xu's arm, pointed to a small thing on the deck not far away, and whispered, "Uncle, uncle, what do you think it is?"
Looking in the direction of the little girl's finger, Qin Xu smiled, it turned out to be a palm-sized small turtle, which may have been missed by Will when they were sorting.
Because it was a little far away, Qin Xu couldn't see the specific color and markings on its body clearly, and couldn't be sure of its type.
The little one probably knew that his calamity was coming, and was anxiously crawling around on the deck, trying to find his way home.
It's just that the deck is not too big for Qin Xu and the others, but compared to a turtle, it is still a little far away.
The little guy kept crawling around, but he couldn't find a right direction, so he went around in a small circle.
Qin Xu looked a little funny, and just wanted to go over and send it back to the sea, but inadvertently saw the curiosity in Shirley's eyes, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Shirley, do you like it?"
The little girl nodded cutely, small animals or something, she liked it the most, because they could play with her, just like Da Ha and Xiao Ha.
Qin Xu didn't say anything, and greeted Will loudly.
Will, who heard the voice, walked out of the freezer cabin and asked while wiping his hands, "What's wrong, boss?"
Qin Xu pointed to the palm-sized little turtle and said with a smile: "You go find a small fish tank and install it, our little baby likes it." ”
Will looked in the direction that Qin Xu pointed, and also found the little turtle, nodded with a smile: "Okay, to be favored by our little princess, this guy is lucky." ”
Qin Xu smiled, this Will is really good at talking.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was an exclamation from the other side, "Hey, boss, come and see." ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Xu walked over with some curiosity.
Will pointed to the turtle that had stopped wandering around on the ground because someone was approaching, and said, "Boss, this is a hawksbill turtle, not an ordinary turtle." ”
Qin Xu scratched his head, tortoiseshell, he seemed to have heard of it.
What's all the fuss about, though?
Looking at Will curiously, Qin Xu asked, "What's wrong with the tortoiseshell?"
Will looked back at Qin Xu and said in surprise, "Boss, you don't know?"
Seeing him shake his head, Will continued, "The hawksbill turtle is a CITESI. protected animal under the Washington Convention.
It is also listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 – Critically Endangered (CR) 2012. ”
Qin Xu was dumbfounded, wasn't he? A turtle that I saw so casually was still so big?
Looking at Will, Qin Xu asked, "Can you raise it?"
This time it was Will's turn to scratch his head, hesitated for a long time, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the United States, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be raised." ”
At this time, Qin Xu put his mind at ease, and also shrugged his shoulders as Will, "That's it,"
"Still, I have to warn you that you must not feed it to death. ”
Will put up this turtle named tortoiseshell, looked at Qin Xu's puzzled eyes, and explained:
"It's okay to adopt these protected animals, but if they die, it's a bit of a problem. ”
Qin Xu hesitated for a moment and looked at Shirley, if he raised it himself, this guy would definitely not die, I was afraid that the little girl would accidentally kill it that day, so what should I do?
However, looking at Shirley's curious baby appearance, Qin Xu still made up his mind, it was just a big deal to watch it closely.
And children, it's all three minutes of heat, maybe it won't be interested in a few days.
"Okay, I see. Thank you, Will. ”
Qin Xu took over the small fish tank and thanked Will with a smile.
Thanks to the ten-year-old worm and Fengxia Ai for their great reward and support.
