Chapter 36: Stonefish and Nine Shrimps (Part II)

Cai Hongming jumped off the back of the shark, looked at the dead shark and still didn't understand his hatred, and went up and kicked a few times.

I didn't look closely, but now when I looked closely, I found that the shark was very large, at least three meters long. What to do with such a big guy? Is it eaten, shark meat is not tasty?

While he was distressed, people gathered around him.

Just now he hit the shark thrillingly, but the time was very short, and when everyone reacted, the shark had been killed by him.

"Brother, you're so good."

Lu Qiaohong's eyes were about to burst into stars, and the women next to her were the same. Cai Hongming blushed a little when he heard this. But before he could reply, Lu Qiaohong turned around and chatted with her group of female companions about the shark, as if the shark was killed by her, feeling very honored.

"Brother, you're too cruel! Punched such a big hole in someone's head. Cai Hongsheng looked at the big hole in the shark's head and exclaimed.

Cai Hongming heard the pain and slapped him directly.

The people on the island stopped fishing, and they all ran over to see the shark take pictures, and when they saw the big hole in the shark's head, they were all frightened by his strength. Is this still human? At this time, Lu Qitian came over and took a towel for him to wipe.

"Uncle, what do you say about this shark?" Cai Hongming wiped the milky white shark brains on his face and asked Lu Qitian.

"Depends on whether you want to keep it for yourself or sell it."

"Is this shark worth anything?"

"It's okay if it's fresh, but it's not worth anything if it's frozen. After all, there is a difference between the taste of live fish and dead fish. Are you going to sell? If you want to sell it, I'll help you get the contact. ”

Cai Hongming thought about it for a while, and asked his uncle to help contact the buyer.

Speaking of which, except for the fins, there are no other parts of this shark that no one likes to eat.

Shark fins are shark fins, and fresh shark fins are much better when cooked than sun-dried shark fins. Whether it is boiled in soup, pan-fried, or steamed, the taste is very wonderful. Because the fresh fins are like jelly with gelatin after cooking, they melt in the mouth, smooth and delicious, and are delicious. In addition to the fins, the soft belly of the shark is also delicious, and the rest is not very good. However, some people like to use shark meat to make sashimi, and fresh fish meat can be used for sashimi and hot pot, but the taste of dead fish is inferior, and it is not delicious at all.

The reason why Cai Hongming wants to sell sharks is not for that money, but mainly because he can't eat it all because it's so big. Besides, he also caught a small shark just now, which weighed seven or eight pounds, and it was enough to take home and eat.

At this time, he remembered the pile of fish he had caught, and hurriedly ran over, only to find that some of the fish had been swept away by the shark's struggle just now, and only a few were left, but the baby shark was still there. He hurriedly went to the house and got a large bucket, scooped some seawater, and put the fish in it.

Cai Hongming didn't want to go into the water today, but his face and body were sprayed with a bunch of shark brains, and it didn't work at all if he didn't wash it.

So he took off his clothes and swam out into the sea.

As soon as he got out of the water, he saw a pink manta ray swimming towards a school of fish. Cai Hongming raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and said in his heart that those fish just now couldn't have been rushed over by this guy, right? If that's the case, this guy will be against the sky.

When the pink manta ray saw him, it immediately swam over and circled around him.

This time, he was fed his feelings by Cai Hongming with water jade toad liquid, and treated him like a relative, becoming more and more like a pet he raised. After drinking the water jade toad liquid, the pink manta ray has grown up a little, and even its intelligence has improved a lot, and it can understand some of Cai Hongming's actions and language.

Cai Hongming touched the little guy's head and sat on its back.

The pink manta ray not only did not resist, but happily swam around with him. Cai Hongming instructed it to swim to the side on his back. There are a few people diving here, and a lot of sea urchins and shells have been fished out, so I don't have to think about picking things up here, it's better to go to the other side.

Moments later, the pink manta ray led him to a reef-lined spot overgrown with seaweed, a favorite spot for fish, shrimp and shellfish, and he should be able to catch a lot of things.

Seeing that the place was good, Cai Hongming got off the back of the pink manta ray.

As soon as I stepped on the sand and mud in the sea, I saw a few nine-knot shrimp rushing out of the sand and mud and swimming into the distance. One of them was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he actually grazed his thigh and swam forward with his little brother. Boom, that's okay. He reached forward and grabbed the obscene nine-section shrimp in his hand. He found that the nine-section shrimp was quite large, almost 20 centimeters long.

The meat of Jiujie shrimp is refreshing and elastic, and the taste is better than that of lobster, and it is one of Cai Hongming's favorite seafood.

However, this thing is not easy to catch, because during the day, the nine-node shrimp will generally lurk in the sand and mud three centimeters below, and only come out to feed at night, and it is generally difficult to see it swimming, let alone catch it.

Cai Hongming didn't expect that there would be wild nine-section shrimp here, of course he wouldn't let it go, but how to catch it? After thinking about it, he swam back to the shore, took a handful of nets with fine mesh, and slowly fished them out in small places in the sand and mud of the seabed. Not to mention, his stupid method is really effective. The nine-section shrimp hidden in the sand and mud were frightened and rushed out of the sand and mud, some fell into the net, and some were caught by him. Still, some ran away, after all, he only had one hand.

There is a lot of seagrass in this place, and it is estimated that it is the main feeding ground of the nine-node shrimp, and there are many nine-node shrimp hidden.

After a while, Cai Hongming caught more than 30 of them. Some of them were more than 30 centimeters long large nine-section shrimp, and he grabbed it in his hand, at least more than half a catty. He used to eat about 20 centimeters, and he had never seen such a big nine-section shrimp, so he had to taste what such a big shrimp was like when he went back at night.

After catching some nine-section shrimp, he felt that it was enough to eat a few meals, so he stopped catching them, and went to pick some kelp and took it back to cook soup. This wild kelp is much tastier than the farmed ones on the market.

Feeling that today's harvest was good, Cai Hongming wanted to go back, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a reef next to him light up, which startled him.

It's not that he's timid, it's really too weird, and the stone just moved. Wow, I was scared by that shark just now, so I won't have any sequelae or something, right? Cai Hongming thought about it, so he picked up the fishing net and poked at the moving stone. Suddenly, the stone moved, and its eyes opened. At this time, Cai Hongming saw clearly what kind of stone this thing was, it was clearly a strange-looking stone fish. Fortunately, it didn't move just now, otherwise it would have been over.

The scientific name of the stonefish is the rose poisonous carp, because it has thorns like roses on its body and is poisonous, so it is named.

It has several venom fins on its back, and there are venom glands under the fins, each of which leads directly to the poison sac, which contains highly toxic venom. When a person is stabbed by a venom fin, the venom sac is squeezed, and venom is ejected into the body along the venom glands and fins. The victim was immediately miserable, at first the pain was unbearable, the wound was swollen, then dizzy, cramps and shock, unconscious, and the rescued person died. It's scary!

In fact, the poisonous fins of stonefish are mainly used to ward off enemies, not to hurt people.

If you don't touch it, it's fine, it doesn't attack people, it's a very docile fish. Although it is a little ugly, "I am ugly but I am gentle" is its true portrayal.
