Chapter Forty-Six: The Mussel Picker
"Boy, the latest product in the top 10 fishing tackle stores in Washington is just a slight improvement on these things!" Johnny was really irritated by Hadley's words, and said angrily at the moment.
"So, that's why the fishing tax in Washington State is less than 1 percent of the total tax revenue."
"Oh, Schitt, do you know what you're talking about? You want to say that the people in the Washington State Fisheries Department are not as good as you? Are you crazy or am I crazy! Johnny couldn't believe it, he had never seen someone as arrogant as Hadley in front of him!
Even Tang Hai was a little surprised, this has also blown the fire, right? Is Hadley really a braggart?
However, this time, Jordan and Jennifer looked very natural and agreed with Hadley's words.
Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost, but ......
In the crowd, Gamboa, like the other two in the trio, did not disbelieve, but looked at Hadley with some excitement!
"So, this top student, can you tell me where I can buy the state-of-the-art shrimp nets you said?" Johnny took a step forward and looked at Hadley with an unkind expression, as if he was on the verge of exploding.
"What, Johnson, what do you want to do to my friend?" Tang Hai stepped in the middle of the two.
"My name is Johnny!"
Johnny was even angrier, he had known Tang Hai for so long, and he had a lot of exchanges, and he was still called by the wrong name!
Although he was even more annoyed, Johnny behaved completely differently in the face of Tang Hai and Hadley, and this time he was not ready to do it at all......
Johnny has seen Tang Hai shoot before!
ran out of more than ten meters in an instant, and beat a heavyweight with a punch to raise the center of gravity by more than 10 centimeters!
There are indeed ancient boxing masters in the world who weigh more than 1,000 pounds, and there are quite a few of them, but the opponent in actual combat can move, so no matter what heavyweight boxing match, there is no explosive power to beat people by more than 10 centimeters......
China has always been a big country in martial arts, with more than 700 kinds of boxing, Bruce Lee was mixed in Seattle at the beginning, and he also studied at the University of Washington, and there are his stone carvings on the beach in Seattle!
Watching Tang Hai do it that day, Johnny felt that Tang Hai was simply a combination of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Stallone, and he didn't dare to do it with Tang Hai!
"Johnny! Apologies to Mr. Hadley! Gamboa shouted.
Johnny reluctantly lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hadley. ”
"Mr. Hadley, please don't be upset...... But don't look reckless, he is really a very hard-working person, and the things here are all fishing gear that he has painstakingly compared in many places, and then bought it in person and shipped it back in person. He has a lot of affection for these things. ”
"Well, look, you can see it, then I'm not angry. Things here are, really, poor, though. ”
Johnny's cerebral veins, which Johnny had managed to calm down, burst again, and said in a dark voice: "Then Mr. Hadley, do you dare to bet with me that you can come up with better fishing gear!" ”
"Shet!" This time it was Tang Hai who scolded, obviously he had a special ability, shouldn't the script be a bet between the villain and himself? How do you pick the passer-by next to you?
Everyone looked at Tang Hai suspiciously, not knowing why he was so excited.
"I, I'm not betting with you. It's not that I'm timid, it's that I don't want to bully you. You're bound to lose. ”
Hadley's words sounded harsh to Johnny, and everyone felt that they were too arrogant.
At this time, Jennifer quickly explained: "Hadley came to Hadley a year ago, and Hadley's thesis was very influential in our circle, and his nickname at school was 'Great Inventor'. ”
This time, even Tang Hai looked at Hadley in surprise, he really didn't expect Hadley to be so fierce.
Because of his stuttering and lack of communication, Hadley is more likely to quarrel with people when it comes to academic issues, and he is probably aware of this problem himself, so he didn't speak again.
Jordan said that he was going to go to the sea to have a look, and he brought his swim trunks and fins with his own things, and said that he wanted to find a place to change ......
Damn it!
It's spring!
This is where the cold California Snap flows!
As soon as Gamboya was about to persuade, Jennifer smiled and said: "Jordan is good at spring diving, has been trained in extreme diving, and the deepest diving depth is 297 meters. The breath-holding time after he inhaled pure oxygen was 18 minutes, and the maximum time of ordinary apnea diving was 10 minutes and 27 seconds. In the near sea, he didn't even need fins to go into the sea, and he was afraid that you would not agree, so he brought some with him. ”
Is it really so hanging? Everyone looked at Jordan suspiciously......
That's a real name......
But ability and name are two different things......
The group walked to the pier and drove a small boat to the area where geoducks were previously kept in captivity. Well, compared to the two fishing boats with a displacement of 500 tons, this one is really small.
"Sister Jennifer, what do you say should be better for our fishing ground?" Malena is already somewhat convinced of Jennifer, and respecting and learning from the strong is her greatest strength.
"North American sea white shrimp."
"We should be able to farm cod here, right?"
"Then why isn't the cod here even as famous as the halibut?"
Malena was stunned, and then thought about it, why?
"First, the climate is not very suitable, and secondly, it is ...... Cod is carnivorous when it grows up, such as North American white shrimp, which is more than half the price of cod, but cod cannot eat two pounds of white shrimp and grow one pound of meat. Although Jennifer was reprimanded by Malena just now, she definitely would not hold a grudge against such a cute little girl, and Marlena is a sister, who is sweet and studious, and she likes such children very much.
"But Washington State is rich in salmon, can't we keep it with it?"
"The price of white shrimp is more than twice that of salmon, so why raise salmon?"
Ma Lena shook her head and said: "Although the price is expensive, it is not easy to catch, the shrimp net is used to support the bottom work, it is easy to damage, and the shrimp net is very expensive......"
"Then you're going to ask him." Jennifer smiled and pointed to Hadley, who was looking at the sea.
"Him?" Malena is not easy to say too bluntly, and she even doubts that Hadley can live on her own!
"Even without him, you should raise shrimp! The per capita shrimp consumption of Americans is now more than 5 pounds per year, and Americans have 300 million, which is 1.5 billion pounds, a full 700,000 tons! It is the first consumption of all seafood! However, the United States can only meet 12% of its own output, and imports shrimp from more than 10 countries such as China, India, Thailand and Vietnam every year...... How big of a gap is this? Not to mention that there are shrimp in the anti-dumping case every year, and the political axe also hopes that we can expand production! Moreover, Maine, the most famous lobster producer in the United States, also shut down all lobster fishing in the Penobscot River last year due to heavy metal problems! The shrimp food gap in the United States has increased again! Here's the chance! ”
Malena was dumbfounded.
Gamboa had already heard tears streaming down her eyes, if Jennifer had come a few years earlier, what kind of geoduck he would have planted! Canada's problem geoduck was so bad that his geoduck almost didn't sell last year......
"Here it is! I feel like there should be a geoduck here! I'll go down and dig two up and have a look! Jordan looked at the water and shouted to Jason, who was sailing the boat.
"Man, this piece of geoduck is a big one, we're sure we're done digging it! Do you know how we did it before? 30 people, an average of more than 150 pounds per person in the morning, did this for many days! Johnny was putting the eel catcher in his tube, smiling a cigarette and digging mussels......
"Then as much as you want, dig as much as you want." Seeing that the speed of the boat was very slow, with a plop, Jordan had already gone into the sea from the side.
Everyone was taken aback by this sound, and they all walked over to see Jordan in the water......
From above, the sea water is very dark!
That's right, Jordan is sneaking again! Even Tang Hai, who has strengthened his eyesight, can't see where Jordan is simply with his eyes!
"Okay, no, he basically didn't bring any tools, just a chis......el" Tang Hai also wanted to use his special ability to help detect where there were many geoducks, but he didn't expect Jordan to go down by himself!
"He said, dig as much as you want." Johnson doesn't quite believe in the trio right now, no, not to be precise, not in any way Hadley and Jordan are superior. As for Jennifer, he was somewhat convinced.
Thump!
Another sound, at most a minute, Jordan's big black bald head appeared!
Tang Hai and a few people just came over!
"Man, do you need to bring anything?" Johnson hasn't tied up the second cage yet, and the cage for moray eels is quite difficult to get.
"Don, come on! That's $200! Jordan shook his hand.
I saw a very big thing flying towards Tang Hai, and Tang Hai hurriedly picked it up, it was a geoduck weighing at least 4 pounds!
"Impossible! It's only a minute! Johnson stood up, the cage in his hand falling off the board. Geoduck is buried deep in the sediment, to judge whether there is one, to judge the location, but also to dig, how can it be so fast!
"Ha, according to the Indian Tribal Act, it takes at least 15 minutes to dig up a basket of 50 pounds of geoduck to be a qualified mussel picker! I had the privilege of training with a mussel picker, and I had already achieved this feat when I was nine years old! Jordan smiled heartily and plunged headlong into the water.
