After planting all kinds of crops in the field one after another, the days are in the middle of April again.

The busyness of this period has drastically reduced the frequency of bicycle tours to once a week or so, and it was only recently that the frequency was re-increased to once every two or three days.

One day at the beginning of May was a little unusual, and I made an impressive discovery that made the day a memorable one!

The story takes place in a fishing trap, and when I sneak up to the fishing trap and tighten the net at the outlet, I sit on the ground in fright the moment I look up.

I was frightened by the prey in the trap again, but last time I was surprised because there were too many fish in it, and this time there was a monster with teeth and claws, and I couldn't tell what it was.

At first glance, nearly one-third of the trap was occupied by a large creature, and when I first saw it, I thought of a sea monster instead of a fish.

I can't blame it for being thoughtful, but it's not only huge, it's also bizarre, and it's fundamentally different from the appearance of most fish.

It is estimated that no matter who encounters this situation, seeing such a huge creature in their trap will make their hearts beat wildly, and then make up the legendary sea monster in their brains!

This is probably the first time I've caught this fish, and the first time I've seen it in my eight or nine years on a desert island.

It is a huge octopus with another name, Octopus.

Its shape and size are not the largest, the largest octopus found is nearly ten meters, weighing a thousand catties, and there may be bigger ones that have not been discovered.

Many of the legendary sea monsters are played by it, and even the sea monsters that subvert ships in many movies have its figure, and I have to say that the appearance of the octopus does match the shape of the villain.

I don't believe much in the ghosts and gods, and believing them is just a sign of awe, so after seeing them at first glance, I quickly broke away from the sea monster's train of thought.

......

Shock to shock, after the mystery is revealed, there is no such scary feeling, but thinking about what to do with it next!

I've always known that octopus is edible, not only can it be eaten, but it's also a pretty good delicacy, similar to the taste of squid.

I just don't know what will happen to the meat quality of such a big octopus, and it may not taste as good as a small octopus visually, but it is also worth looking forward to.

In the eyes of foodies, the first thing that comes to mind when you see any animal is whether it can be eaten and how it tastes......

It's just that before I wanted to put this giant in the pot, I encountered a huge problem, and I didn't know how to bring such a big octopus ashore.

I didn't dare to jump into a trap, I wasn't sure I was fighting a monster-level octopus in the water, it was 100% it got me entangled and drowned!

Its claws, although not as sharp as the crab's claws, can be strangled like a snake, and any contact with it is risky before it is completely disposed of.

I have tried a lot of ways, but I can't achieve my goal, it seems that I can only go back to the house and get a spear to solve the problem, after all, an inch is long and an inch is strong!

Carrying the spear has increased my confidence in solving it a lot, and I don't even dare to get close to the inside of the trap when I don't have a long enough weapon, and if I don't get entangled in it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

With the spear and then to the trap, he didn't delay any longer, and stabbed directly above it, after all, the tide would rise again in a few hours.

The result of this spear was indescribable, and in exchange for it was a pool of ink.

The octopus spat out a gulp of ink after being hurt, staining almost the entire trap with black seawater, and for the first time it was frightened by its appearance, and this time it was shocked by its methods!

The area in the trap is limited, and the depth of the sea is only more than two meters, but I can't find such a large octopus in it, which is simply admirable.

......

The peek-a-boo session lasted for a total of five minutes, and new sea water poured in to replace some of the black water before finally regaining a little sight.

I have to say that this hand is very powerful, if you spray it once when you run for your life in the sea, you can directly make the enemy blind, and then run slowly and leisurely.

When I found it again, I stabbed it again, and it turned out to be a bit angry, not only did I not get rid of it completely, but I got a big mouthful of ink.

The water was polluted again, and the black inside became thicker than before, like a pool of ink, and if it weren't for the fact that these colors could not be preserved, and that there was still a lot of fishy smell, I would really like to carry two buckets home and keep them for later writing.

Another mouthful of ink successfully made it invisible again, and it failed to stab it after a few stabs in it, and in the end, it could only be hunted after the sea water slowly cleared, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to close the door and beat the dog!

This situation did not change, and when the water cleared up and I came to the door again, it once again spat out the ink, so angry that I kept attacking on the shore, but to no avail.

The stalemate lasted until the fifth puff of ink more than an hour later, and this time the amount of ink spit out was not only much less, but also much lighter in color, and it is estimated that ten times of adding up will not achieve the effect of the first puff!

Spit out a few mouthfuls of ink and made it shrink twice in size compared to when I first saw it, and I knew it was almost finished, and when all the killer weapons were used up, it would have to wait to be slaughtered, and it would be powerless against my attacks.

No new ink was spit out, and the black water in the trap was gradually replaced by the clear water, and its figure could no longer be hidden, and finally it was my turn to perform.

Nearly an hour of grievances left me with nowhere to release, and it had a worse ending than before, when it should have been solved more neatly.

......

After more than ten minutes, the octopus successfully turned into a dead fish, and I didn't have much strength left, so I stabbed it with twenty or thirty spears before it turned it off, which was even more difficult than hunting a crocodile that was not too big or small!

And the trouble has just begun, its size is huge, even if it spits out a large amount of ink and shrinks it by nearly half, it is not easy to pick it up after it dies.

There was still no use for fishing nets, let alone other weapons, and in the end it was only with a spear that the problem was solved.

After the water had cleared a little, I used a spear to cut off its long tentacles one by one, its shape and sticky surface were the main factors that made it difficult to take out, and it was much easier to reduce the weight and take them separately.

As long as the most troublesome parts are scooped up first, the remaining main parts are relatively simple, and the task is successfully completed with a net and a spear and drag.

A battle that doesn't count as a fight, although not too exciting, is quite troublesome, and the face and body are covered with sweat when you touch it!

The octopus placed on the shore looks more intuitive, each with long tentacles exceeding three meters, and the diameter of the thickest position is nearly 20 centimeters, and the diameter reaches 8 meters when it is connected to the main body and then spread out.

Even though it's much smaller than the largest 10-meter octopus, it's about 5 meters long, so it's a real chance of being a legendary sea monster when placed in the water, especially in a freshwater lake!

Even if you find out that it is an octopus to meet the monster, you will not have any thoughts about it, but will run for your life as soon as possible, in case you are entangled by it, the result can be imagined......

After removing some parts that are not suitable for consumption, it is roughly estimated that this large pile of fish meat has nearly 200 catties.

The reason why the weight does not match its size is actually very simple, the main reason is its body shape.

Unlike common fish such as sharks, it is indeed quite large, but it has a superficial surface and the density of the meat is not enough, which makes it much lighter than other fish in the same volume.

Just like a pound of iron and a pound of cotton, the same mass and volume are several times different, and it is the same reason.

......

Of course, I don't mean to be dissatisfied, two hundred catties of octopus meat can fully satisfy me, even if most of it is dried and preserved, I am afraid it will have to be stored until next year before it can be consumed!

After all, it's not an ordinary fish, and it's okay to fight tooth sacrifices once in a while, but it may not be much joy if you serve it twice in three days.

My interest was mainly focused on the tentacles of the octopus, and I didn't pay much attention to the main part of it, but I also took it home after processing it and didn't throw it away in vain.

You must know that there are not many opportunities to catch an octopus, and today is the first time I have caught a large octopus in eight or nine years.

How about the taste can be avoided for now, if you don't take the opportunity to save more this time, you don't know when you want to encounter this kind of opportunity again in the future, maybe only once in a lifetime!

There is nothing to say about the process of transporting back, and after having a wheelbarrow, transportation is no longer a trouble for me, and it can be done back and forth.

There is no doubt that there will be a pure octopus feast for dinner, but before that, the two hundred catties of fish meat are sad to me, and the ordinary fish can be smoked directly and then dried.

But the octopus meat obviously has nothing to do with bacon, and the sun is not strong recently, so it is estimated that it stinks before it dries, and it is a pity that it stinks.

After thinking about it, in the end, you can only slice the octopus meat and then marinate it with salt, and then dry it in the sun, which should be no problem in principle, and you can only depend on your luck.

I think the octopus meat is similar to squid, and the appearance is almost identical, but if you put an octopus and squid of the same size together, it really feels like you can't tell the difference.

So the method is not much different from squid, not only grilled octopus, but also braised octopus and stewed octopus.

Paired with refrigerated red wine, not to mention how good the taste is, now there are more ingredients, the taste is quite good, plus the atmosphere at night is good enough, taste the red wine under the light of the fire, and then eat the octopus meat feast, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad!

Of course, the result was that I drank and got confused again, so that when I went to bed the next day, I found that all the octopus meat that I hadn't eaten last night had been patronized by the bugs, which was a serious waste!
