Chapter 193: True and False Dragon Fish
After lunch, Li Yonglin, Li Xiaofeng, Li Yongmin, and Zhang Jianjun all gathered in the cockpit, and Li Yonglin drove the fishing boat to continue northward.
Li Xiaofeng was telling the three of them what he had seen under the sea.
When the three of them heard that there were conches all over the bottom of the sea, they were all very excited.
This is really a veritable treasure land, I can't wait to turn the bow of the ship and go back to catch the conch!
However, when they heard Li Xiaofeng say that the sea area was full of islands and reefs under the water, and there was no way to get into the net, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Seeing the three of them with a little disappointed expressions, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, third uncle, Uncle Zhang, if there is a way to get off the net, we can't wait for us to find out now, and it is even more impossible for so many conches to survive there!" ”
Li Yonglin and Li Yongmin think about it, and this is indeed the truth.
If it wasn't a dangerous place, it would probably be caught by nearby fishermen, and how could they find out.
Li Yongmin said with a smile: "Fortunately, you reacted quickly today and diverted the topic, the fewer people who know about this place, the better!" ”
Li Xiaofeng, Li Yonglin and Zhang Jianjun also nodded, such a treasure must be known to the fewer people the better.
This is also why Li Yonglin asked him today, and he diverted the topic. People are selfish, although Li Xiaofeng's salaries for these crew members are already very high, but it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be greedy and leak some information on the fishing boat.
Zhang Jianjun shook his head and said with a little regret: "There is no way to catch those conches this time, so we can only wait until we buy a few more sets of diving suits and dive to catch them, I hope these conches will not be moved away by then." ”
After Li Yonglin and Zhang Jianjun listened, they both nodded.
While chatting with them, Li Xiaofeng was also looking at the map and observing the surrounding fish.
After about an hour, Han Minghua walked in from outside with a smile on his face.
Seeing him, Li Xiaofeng understood his intention, couldn't help laughing, and then said, "You two are quite fast!" ”
Han Minghua also smiled and said, "It's just the two of us, but it's not so fast, Uncle Jian and Liangzi just came over to help!" ”
Li Yongjian and Li Xiaoming are two masters, he will definitely help, but Li Xiaoliang also went over to help, which was a bit unexpected by Li Xiaofeng.
Li Xiaofeng nodded, turned his face to Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun and said, "It just so happens that the third uncle and Uncle Zhang are also here, how about we go over and weigh these conches that the two of them fished?" ”
Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun also smiled and nodded, they also wanted to know how many conch conches the two people had fished, so the four of them came to the cabin together.
Those conches have been separated by them according to different categories.
Li Xiaofeng asked Han Minghua to take out the electronic scale in the warehouse.
Then start the same as the weight of these conch weights.
In the end, after the weighing, it was more than everyone expected, and after calculating that each of the two people could get more than 3,900 yuan, Li Xiaofeng directly transferred 4,000 yuan to each of them, which made both of them very happy.
After Han Minghua received the money, he said happily: "This is almost worth my previous half month's salary!" ”
This is the first time he has made money since he got on the boat, so it's no wonder he's so happy.
Li Xiaoming was a little shy, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Feng!" ”
Some people are happy and some people are worried, Li Xiaoliang feels that he has been hurt tons today, as if the whole world is full of malice towards him today.
The fishing boat kept moving in the sea, Li Xiaofeng, Li Yongmin, Han Minghua, Li Xiaoliang and a bunch of other people were basking in the sun on the deck and chatting.
Li Xiaofeng chatted with them for more than an hour, and then returned to the cockpit to replace his father, who was driving the boat.
He continued to steer the fishing boat and sailed forward for more than half an hour, then picked up the radio next to the bridge and announced: "Attention all the crew, all the crew please pay attention, we are ready to drop the net in half an hour!" Everyone is ready to go to the net! ”
After hearing the notice, everyone who was chatting on the deck immediately stood up, returned to their posts, and began to make preliminary preparations for the net under the command of Li Yongmin.
In the process of everyone's intense preparation, half an hour passed in a flash. After receiving the notice that Li Xiaofeng had lowered the net, the fishing net was also smoothly lowered into the sea.
According to Li Xiaofeng's request, this time they went deep under the fishing net, and it can even be said that they went directly to the bottom of the sea.
The fishing boat dragged the nets attached to the bottom of the sea and continued on its way.
There's no way, who let Li Xiaofeng find a large group of dragon fish this time.
Not only do they like to live on the bottom of the sea, but they also like to bury their bodies in the mud and sand, exposing only their two eyes to look around.
Saurus is a large benthal fish of the order Plaiceformes, the family of Tongue Soles, also known as pedal fish, arapaima, and sole, and is a warm offshore large demersal fish.
Don't look at the strange appearance of the dragonfish, just like a tongue, but its meat is delicate, delicious, nutritious, and almost does not have the fishy smell of ordinary marine fish.
Moreover, the dragon fish only has a crest bone in the middle, and there are almost no other fish bones, which is a typical meat with more spines and less points.
Because of these attributes, dragon fish are also very popular in the market.
And its price is not cheap, generally a pound can be sold for about 50-100 yuan, in Li Xiaofeng's hometown can be sold for more than 70 pounds.
But this is just a general size, if it is the kind of dragon fish with a large size, it can even be sold for more than a hundred.
But the strange thing is that we can often see some Longli fish fillets that sell for more than ten yuan a pound in the market and supermarkets.
The same dragon fish, why is the price difference so big?
In fact, these so-called cheap dragon fish are basically counterfeited by pangasius produced in the Mekong River Basin.
Pangasius is a fish in the water, the yield is very large, the nutritional value is relatively low, coupled with the living environment is relatively bad, they have a very heavy earthy smell, so their price is relatively cheap, generally the price of a pound is 4-5 yuan.
However, some unscrupulous traders process them into fish fillets, and then soak them in so-called "fresh-keeping water" to remove their earthy smell and pass them off as expensive dragon fish.
Therefore, if you buy processed dragon fish, you must be careful.
Fortunately, this section of the seabed belongs to the sandy seabed, and there are no reefs.
Therefore, the trawl net can be dragged all the way to the bottom of the sea, and many dragonfish hidden in the mud and sand are also dragged into the fishing net along with the mud and sand.
While driving the boat, Li Xiaofeng kept an eye on the changes in the terrain on the map.
This can't help but be careless, if he encounters a big reef or some coral reefs under the bottom of the sea, he may cut the fishing net at once, then they may be busy today!
The fishing boat continued to drag forward for more than forty minutes, and when it was about to sail out of this undersea desert, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly notified the third uncle to start collecting the net.
After receiving Li Xiaofeng's notice, Li Yongmin also quickly started the net winding machine.
