To Ao Muyang's delight, the number of crabs he encountered was not very large, but it was large and fat.

Compared to the common pike crabs in Chinese waters and the saw-edged blue crabs he farmed, these crabs are larger and fuller, and their bodies are round and very thick, like a steamed bun, a tan steamed bun.

The name of this crab is closely related to their appearance, steamed crab.

Mantou crab is quite a precious sea crab, also called brown crab in foreign countries, but the steamed crab produced in the Chinese Sea is not the same as the common brown crab in foreign countries, strictly speaking, the brown crab is a yellow crab, some are steamed crabs, and the steamed crabs are all steamed crabs.

Ao Muyang jumped off the tiger's back and slowly descended to the bottom of the sea, this sea area is about forty or fifty meters deep, and there is a lot of fine sand on the bottom of the sea, which is the environment that steamed crabs like.

Pinched a big steamed crab from behind, even if there was buoyancy in the water, he still felt heavy, this crab had to weigh three or four catties!

The carapace of the big crab is 156 centimeters wide, and the thickness can reach half of the width, and the bulging sac looks exaggerated.

Ao Muyang estimated that this one crab could be sold for five hundred yuan in the market!

The price of foreign brown crabs is not expensive, but the price of domestic steamed crabs is not low, not because the price of seafood in China has a unique socialist style, but because domestic steamed crabs have medicinal value.

According to the introduction of "Chinese Medicinal Marine Biology", steamed crab meat can cure chest pain, and fresh steamed crab roe can cure athlete's foot......

Seeing this group of steamed crabs, Lao Ao happily surfaced and signaled, and half an hour later, the dragon head and the earth dragon arrived one after another.

Ao Muyang climbed onto the boat, and immediately someone came up to wipe his body and hair, someone took a coat to put on him, and someone prepared hot brown sugar ginger juice for him.

Lu Wuxian leaned up and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so domineering now, like an emperor, a group of minions are waiting for you." ”

Ao Wenchang, who handed Ao Muyang ginger juice, sneered and said, "Do you know what you look like? You are now like a dog eunuch who has entered the slander!"

The two sides began to prepare for a verbal fight, and Lu Wuyi pulled Jiang Caoqi to his side as soon as possible.

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said: "Don't make trouble, hurry up and get off the crab pot, there are crabs underneath, it seems to be steamed crabs." ”

As soon as they heard this, the fishermen were immediately excited: "Yo, there are steamed crabs underwater? ”

"Hurry up and get out of the cage, if it's too late, the rabbits in Wangjia Village will take advantage of it. ”

"Where do we basket the faucet?"

Ao Muyang said embarrassedly: "Just now the tiger dived to stir the bottom of the sea, I dived and caught two steamed crabs, but I don't know where the crab group is, but it must be here, let's try it first in the crab pot." ”

The crab pot entered the water first, and the crab pot in Wangjia Village also followed, the number of the crab pot was not much, and the scattered area was relatively wide, which was mainly to locate the crab group, which was regarded as the trick of dividing the water in the fishery.

Two hours later, the crab pots were fished up, some empty, some with one or two crabs in them, and some more in number.

According to the different number of crabs, Ao Qianwen and Ao Daodao, the two most experienced old fishermen, took the lead, and the big guys analyzed together, and then roughly guessed the location of the crab group and began to concentrate on the crab pots.

The Tu Slayer Dragon followed suit, and Yang Shuyong also laid some crab pots.

Dozens of steamed crabs were caught climbing at the stern of the boat, they were fat and strong, like a small van, and they were rampage on the boat.

Ao Muyang said to Lu Wuzhi: "There is a story about the origin of the name steamed crab, do you want to hear it?"

Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Lu Wuxian nodded: "Okay, brother-in-law, you can talk about it." ”

"In other words, this crab is a big family, don't look at them all wearing iron armor and big claws, they look similar, but in fact, their temperament is far behind. Some are brave and good at fighting, some are timid and fearful, and some are lazy and greedy, as the so-called people have a thousand natures, and crabs have a hundred shapes......"

"The steamed crab didn't look like this at first, but it looked as flat as the pike crab, and it was a relative of the pike crab. The pike crab became a crab general in the Dragon Palace, and the flat crab took advantage of it and also entered the Dragon Palace to work......"

"The flat crab is different from the pike crab, the most lazy and greedy temperament, when it pours tea and water for the dragon king, once steals the elixir steamed buns that the dragon king entertains customers, the dragon king punishes it, and lets it roam the bottom of the sea with the rest of the steamed buns, in order to set an example. ”

"The flat crab has been carrying the steamed bun for a long time, and the steamed bun has grown on its back, and finally has the origin of the name of the steamed crab, and also has the temperament of the steamed crab wandering around the bottom of the sea. ”

After listening to Ao Muyang's explanation, Lu Wuxian couldn't help laughing: "This is really a legendary story that the working people came up with, and the Dragon Palace used steamed buns to entertain VIPs?

Ao Muyang said: "I told you that it is a folk legend." ”

"Okay, fortunately, this crab is stealing steamed buns, and it would be really interesting if he stole his pants. Lu Wuxian was still laughing.

Ao Qianwen said: "Don't underestimate the steamed crab, this crab can not only be used for cooking, but also for traditional Chinese medicine, and the crab shell is crushed into powder with rice wine to prevent pregnancy." ”

Ao Mudong next to him pouted when he heard this: "Pull it down, Uncle Qianwen, my dad used this local method of contraception, and it turned out that he had me." ”

Ao Qianwen rolled his eyes and said, "I told your father, crab shell powder with rice wine has to be given to the old ladies to prevent pregnancy, who let him drink it himself?"

Everyone laughed together, and soon a big catch came on the boat, and the fishermen were all at ease.

Crab fishing takes a considerable amount of time, and after the cage is dropped, the boat leaves again and cruises around in search of other catches.

This season is the most suitable for catching mackerel and hairtail, Ao Muyang went into the water again to find a school of hairtail, and the big dragon head got off the trawl net and began to catch hairtail.

In another sea area, the fishing boats in Wangjia Village were also netting, and Yang Shuyong contacted Ao Muyang by radio and said: "Team Ao, how about a race? Let's see who catches more hairtails." ”

Ao Muyang was not interested, and said: "You are killing yourself, I don't compare this with you, this is bullying you, let's compare fishing with hairtails, let the fishing boats go to work, let's row a small boat to catch hairtails, okay?"

Yang Shuyong said boldly: "Walk!"

Lu Wuyi asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, can this ribbon fish still be caught? Doesn't it mean that the ribbon fish is a deep-sea fish, and they are all caught with a deep-water fishing net? I have never seen a live hairtail fish, is it a live hairtail fish?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said: "Of course you can fish with fish, didn't you grow up in Jinling? ”
