1335. King Bei survives
After half an hour of hard study, Qin Shiou finally understood that he was not this material, and he could only give up and continue digging geoducks, which made Butler breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Qin Shiou has a greater role, that is, to find the concentrated habitat of geoducks, he makes markers, and lets fishermen dig them, which improves work efficiency.
According to the rules of the fishing grounds, fishermen can get money for digging geoducks, and one pound of geoduck can get four yuan.
The reason for this rule is that under normal circumstances, geoduck digging has to dive, and occasionally go deep diving, so the fishermen have to earn. In terms of pricing, the Newfoundland fishery gives fishermen a fraction of the money, and if it were in British Columbia, a pound of geoduck fishermen would get between $6 and $8.
Geoduck in British Columbia is one of the best quality and most expensive in the world, and is the most difficult to salvage because of the low water temperatures.
Of course, its quality is best overall, if you talk about it alone, then the geoduck produced in the Daqin fishery is the first.
The reason why Butler feels so sorry for Qin Shiou for damaging geoduck is because the geoduck in the fishing ground is also a fist product, and in high-end Chinese restaurants, this thing is the most popular, more popular than sea cucumbers, abalone and lobster.
The geoduck produced in the Daqin Fishery is different from the ordinary one, the meat is particularly tender, the nose tube of the ordinary geoduck is yellow-white, and the one produced in the Daqin Fishery is snow-white.
In addition, the effect is not the same, Qin Shiou did not feel it, but Butler said that some Asian customers reported that the geoduck produced in Daqin Fishery can indeed nourish yin and yang.
The fishermen went out on fire, and they worked from morning until two o'clock in the afternoon, when the tide rose, and then they stopped to eat.
And that's half a day. The fishermen dug up more than 2,000 kilograms of geoducks, and a large number of incubators were stacked on the beach. Like a hill, it's magnificent.
The one who dug the most was Old Zach. He has been doing this for decades, and he is the best at it, fast, stable and accurate, and he dug seven hundred and fifty pounds and earned three thousand yuan at once.
Qin Shiou transferred money directly, and Zach waved his mobile phone after receiving a text message from the bank and said, "Guys, who wants to have a drink?" Old Zach is in for a treat, see you at the Shining Star Bar. ”
It is also a tradition of fishermen to drink after digging geoducks. Because except at low tide, fishermen are diving and digging geoducks, which is prone to accidents, which is also the reason for the high income, so every time they get money, fishermen will go to the bar to vent.
Of course, digging geoducks every year can make a fortune for fishermen who are good at this kind of work, especially when you dig geoducks in the Alexandria Islands in the fall of British Columbia, some fishermen can earn 5,000 dollars a day. You can earn enough money for a year to do one job.
Qin Shiou gave the fishermen a half-day off, so they didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, so they could go to the bar to relax.
He stood on the pier and looked at the tide line rolling in the distance, as if a white line appeared on the sea. Then it slowly went up, and the tide rose more slowly, but it was unwavering. There is an invincible power.
In the next few days, there were different degrees of low tide, and Qin Shiou took the opportunity to clean up the geoducks in the near sea. However, the further you go, the less geoducks you can dig up.
Like the pectoral snapper, geoduck is a slow-growing sea creature. Like Qin Shiou, the ones they dug are basically fifty to one hundred years old.
In almost a week, Qin Shiou dug up 5,000 kilograms of geoduck, and Butler stayed here during this time, distributing geoducks to several major branches.
On the last day of low tide, there are very few tides that can reced, and there is not even a trace of low tide from the coast.
Qin Shiou took his diving suit and knives and got on the boat, found the location of the pearl field and dived.
After several months of continuous input of Poseidon energy, the king of the black lipped oyster finally produced the large black pearls that Qin Shiou needed - the largest one was the same as a pigeon's egg, and there were more than a dozen smaller ones.
Qin Shiou needs to take out these black pearls, and then this is the wedding ring material.
Swimming slowly in the water, Qin Shiou reached the top of the coral reef where the black lipped oysters were located, and soon found the king of shells who stood out from the crowd, and dived immediately.
Controlling the opening of the shell king, under the pink shell meat, the bulging black pearl revealed its body in a posture of holding the pipa and half-covering its face.
Qin Shiou stroked King Bei's huge body with his hand, feeling a little reluctant, these black pearls were too big, he needed to cut the shell meat with a knife to take them out, so King Bei would basically die.
Sighing, Qin Shiou finally got off the knife ruthlessly, the sharp knife cut it, he gently squeezed the flesh membrane with his hand, and squeezed out the black pearls one by one.
At the same time, he tried his best to infuse the Poseidon energy into King Bei's body, and the four Poseidon consciousnesses output energy at the same time, just like the water bubbling out of the faucet.
He struggled to make the smallest incision in the flesh of the shell and remove the black pearl, hoping to save the life of King Bei.
After taking out more than a dozen of the largest black pearls, there was still a string of smaller pearls in King Pei's body, Qin Shiou wanted to take them out together, but he felt that King Bei still had a little breath, so he quickly stopped.
Continuing to input the Seagod's energy, Qin Shiou felt that King Bei's vitality had been greatly damaged, and he was already dying, but he was indeed alive.
This made a big surprise, the remaining black pearls could no longer be taken again, and it was estimated that the next knife would become the last straw that crushed King Bei.
Let King Bei close it, Qin Shiou put the twelve big black pearls into his waist bag, and the materials for the wedding ring are there.
He then walked around, and the black lipped oyster colony had expanded greatly, and the coral reef was densely packed with their figures, large and small, and randomly distributed.
Qin Shiou controls their opening and closing shells like a military parade, as long as the size is larger than the baby's palm, the black lipped berry has black pearls, some black pearls are only the size of sesame seeds, and the production of natural black pearls is very difficult.
He left some ordinary pearl cores in this coral reef, so that he could easily control the pearl cores planted into these black lipped oysters, greatly simplifying the black pearl production process, which would be a hundred times faster.
Of course, this is a way to cheat, but who would have nothing to do with smashing a black pearl to see what the pearl core looks like?
After dealing with the black lipped oysters, Qin Shiou swam to the surface of the water with the joy of harvest, and just surfaced when suddenly a shadow covered the sky and the sun.
Qin Shiou only felt that the helmet was hit hard by something, and the liquid oxygen inside shook vigorously, almost choking him.
Hurriedly returning to the water, Qin Shiou calmed his breathing, and soon found that it was difficult to breathe, and choked on his trachea several times.
Normally this is not the case, in the helmet is circulating liquid oxygen, and his body can adapt to the situation.
Then he guessed the reason, that is, the helmet had just been scratched, and there was already seawater entering or liquid oxygen flowing out of the helmet! (To be continued......)
