1430. Frozen king crab
King crabs are very powerful creatures, they are deep-sea species, but after being brought to the surface, they will not die immediately when the internal and external pressure changes are so drastic, and they can survive for 24 hours after leaving the water in a wet and cold environment!
Other creatures, such as golden mackerel and pectoral bream, die soon after being dragged out of the sea.
In addition, frozen king crab can be stored for 1 year after proper ice coating, so this thing is a very good economic seafood, and the king crab caught at one time can be sold all year round.
Boxes of king crabs were pulled up, and the deck was busy, these crabs were carrying large dark red carapaces, and their backs were full of hideous bone spurs, and they looked extremely fierce.
The little ones were not willing to be lonely, and ran up to the deck to play, and when Xiong Da saw these king crabs running rampant there, he went up to check them out angrily, and he regarded this place as his own territory.
But the king crab had a violent temper, and after Xiong Da approached, a king crab the size of a rice cooker lid opened its claws fiercely, and clamped it according to Xiong Da's outstretched fat paws.
At this moment, Qin Shiou remembered the horror of Xiong Da being dominated by snow crabs three years ago.
That was the first time he caught a snow crab, the bear was still small, the mouth was very greedy, and he wanted to eat the snow crab when he saw it, but he was caught by the snow crab, and its small claws were broken at that time, and now the dense black hair is pulled away, and the healed scar can be seen.
But the big bear is no longer what it used to be, it was just stretching out its claws to tease the king crab, and when the big crab waved its claws, it did not hesitate to slap it!
'Click', with a crisp sound, the big king crab turned into a puddle of crushed crab pieces......
"My Jesus Daddy." Seeing this scene, Shaq ran over angrily. Hold the bear's big hand and tell it to get out of here.
The price of king crab is very expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars per ton. Converted to a king crab of more than ten kilograms, that is more than 100 dollars. Xiong Da slapped a Franklin to pieces!
And this is still the price in the wholesale market, if you enter Daqin seafood, the price of these king crabs will have to increase by dozens of times, and more than ten kilograms of king crab will be sold for two thousand dollars or a conservative estimate.
This makes the loss even greater.
Tiger and leopard slid at the stern of the boat in heavy pet down jackets, and now the boat is full of ice, even if the fishermen kept wiping it before, but the water vapor at sea is too heavy, and the water vapor condenses together at low temperatures, and it is also a layer of ice.
The two little ones ran two steps carefully. Then his limbs spread out and he slid on the ice like he skated.
Brother Mink looked interesting, so she also ran up, followed by the little white wolf, and finally King Simba.
Qin Shiou frowned when he saw it, and wanted to grab them and rush back to the cabin, but he didn't stand firm when he took a step, and his figure almost fell down in a flash.
That's why he's going to drive the little ones back, the boat is too slippery. If you're not careful, you'll slip off the boat, it's too dangerous.
Twisting left and right, opening his arms and finally standing firmly, Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief. muttered: "Shet, fortunately, Lao Tzu has an outstanding sense of balance!" ”
Someone on the side of the ship turned on the searchlight and asked, "BOSS." Are you dancing? ”
"Jump Nima, hurry up and get to work! Then go to the port! Qin Shiou said angrily.
He went up and grabbed the tiger who was lying on the ground. He shouted, "Give me all back, and don't stay on it." Let's go, Huzi, follow me! ”
The weather was too cold, the little ones were dressed very tightly, the tiger and the leopard were wrapped from head to buttocks, only revealing two small eyes and a moist nose, Qin Shiou beckoned to the tiger, but the tiger was motionless, looking up at him stupidly.
Qin Daguan lifted it up and slapped it twice on the buttocks, and said scoldingly: "Disobedient, aren't you?" So that you can't hear? Little smash, hurry up and give me back! ”
Lalawang tried to poke his head out of the dog hat and looked at Qin Daguan aggrievedly, I am obviously a leopard, why should I move if you call Huzi?
Huzi pretended not to hear, and was still sliding there, and the mink brother and mink sister opened their mouths to bite the down jacket behind its buttocks, and slipped happily with it.
Damn, Qin Shiou scolded secretly, Winnie bought two identical pet down jackets for Lalawang, he could recognize that there were ghosts.
Even shouting and scolding, he finally stuffed the little ones back into the cabin, Lalawang was very resistant, they are an animal full of energy and vitality, and they need a lot of exercise every day to vent their accumulated strength, otherwise it will be uncomfortable.
The fishermen are still busy, and this time the harvest is quite good, all 80 crab fishing pots are stuffed, and each cage can be opened to pull out the big and fat king crabs.
Unlike other catches, king crabs have to be iced if they are not sold as soon as they are caught.
Ice plating is to form a thin layer of ice on the surface of seafood by smearing, soaking or spraying water mist, so as to form a package, which can prevent the loss of seafood water, and at the same time, the ice film can prevent the contact between air and food and prevent the occurrence of adverse oxidation reactions.
The Melon Princess is very advanced and has an ice plater on board, which resembles a large washing machine, with a pipe that leads to the sea to draw water, and a pipe that sprays ice gas outward, which is a process of spraying water mist to form an ice coat.
Put the water pipe into the water, connect the other end to the conveyor belt at the entrance of the ship's ice tank, and then put the king crab on it.
The ice plating machine sprays out of the water vapor, but it is actually ice mist, the temperature is very low, but there is high-pressure power in the tube, so it can be sprayed out, this thing is very dangerous, if it is sprayed on human skin, it will directly lead to severe cold frostbite!
Eighty crab traps, each with an average harvest of 50 kilograms, this wave of harvest has four tons of king crabs, a total of about 40,000 US dollars, catching king crabs is so fast.
After harvesting once, Qin Shiou ordered the fishermen to eat and sleep, and drove to Attu Island overnight.
Now that they are in the Arctic Circle, a cold snap arrives, the sea freezes, and once the ship is frozen at sea, it is dangerous. The ship was in a state of speed along the way, and there was no need to worry about being frozen, but if it stopped, it would not work.
In addition, you have to prevent an iceberg from appearing, and you don't even have a chance to wait for rescue when you encounter this thing!
Qin Shiou released the Seagod Consciousness and had already encountered several waves of ice floes, and from the sea, they were just Xiaoice pieces the size of a table and a bench, and they didn't seem to be a threat to the Melon Princess.
But if you look at them through the sea god's consciousness, the underwater part of these ice cubes is very large, and the whole thing is like a small house!
Such an ice block hits the Melon Princess, and once the angle is right, a large hole can be carved into the hull!
The Melon Princess sprang up and headed for the port of Attu Island. (To be continued......)
