Chapter 149: The Fish That Gave the Gift
Although Jiang Luoluo pulled up a big fish, her own physical strength was almost consumed, so she didn't continue fishing at night.
was about to go back to the cockpit to rest, but was stopped by Chu Mingcheng again.
"Luo Luo, wait a minute, I'll show you something."
"Something!"
Seeing Chu Mingcheng mysteriously open the fish box, she leaned over curiously.
"Huh, what's on its neck?"
It's a small eel, but it's not as unremarkable as its mate.
This is a rich fish, and he has a mine at home, so he still carries a jade bracelet when he goes out.
That's right, this eel just had a jade bracelet stuck around its neck.
But I just don't know if this jade bracelet is real or not, and what the condition is.
If it gets stuck on the neck of the fish for so long, it will not be greatly worn or corroded by seawater.
Chu Mingcheng didn't understand jade, but he also felt that the value of this piece of jade should not be high, after all, it didn't look like that kind of warm feeling.
But after all, I had to take off the jade bracelet, but it turned out that both the belly and the head of the fish were a bit big, and I couldn't take it off.
Therefore, he had no choice but to bring the knife and directly disembowel the fish.
It's a pity that the swim bladder is too small and not very valuable. Chu Mingcheng himself doesn't like to eat eel fish, so leave the fish for Xiao Mi!
"I'll clean this jade bracelet, and you can continue fishing!"
Jiang Luoluo took the jade bracelet from Chu Mingcheng's hand, and then walked into the cockpit.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, although the fish mouth was okay, Chu Mingcheng decided to put away the fishing rod and go back.
At this time, there are still twenty or thirty fishing boats on the sea, and it is estimated that there are bedrooms that plan to stay here all night, and those small fishing boats and fishing boats have already left.
Return to the wheelhouse to start the fishing boat and set up automatic sailing.
"Luoluo, take a look at the boat, I'll go out and sort the fish."
"Well, by the way, you look at the jade bracelet first." Jiang Luoluo hurriedly took out the jade bracelet that he had cleaned up.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the jade bracelet with green and bright light in surprise, and said, "There is no trace of seawater soaking, it can't be glass, right?" ”
"Uh, it's glass?" Jiang Luoluo was originally quite happy, she didn't expect the jade bracelet to be so beautiful after washing, and thought she had really picked up the baby.
But now when she heard a glass sentence, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the jade bracelet suspiciously, and said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be, right?" Who has nothing to do with glass! ”
"I don't know much about this, so why don't I take it for appraisal tomorrow!"
"Well, that's all there is to it."
Then, Jiang Luoluo sat in the driver's seat, and Chu Mingcheng went out to sort the fish.
He divided all the golden pomfret that were more than five catties, and there were only three. There are more than ten catties of sea bass, and there are also only three.
In addition to the thirty catties that Jiang Luoluo caught, he only caught two more than ten catties, but unfortunately none of them exceeded fifteen catties.
Back at the dock, it's past eleven o'clock, but the dock is still quite lively.
Chu Mingcheng moved all the fish to the shore, let Jiang Luoluo stay in the boat first, and then called a fishmonger to sell the fish.
The purchase price of the fishmongers is relatively cheap, and the price of golden pomfret is only 25 yuan a catty.
The number of fish caught by Chu Mingcheng is not much, only fourteen catties, and it is sold for three hundred and five.
The price of eels is also very low, the same twenty-five yuan, but the quantity is more than that of golden pomfret, fifty-eight catties, and sold for one thousand four hundred and fifty.
The sea bass is the most, the price is thirty, a total of ninety-three catties, and the sale is two thousand seven hundred and ninety.
It adds up to four thousand five hundred and ninety yuan, and there is a small golden drum fish, which was made up, and Chu Mingcheng got four thousand six.
Today's fuel cost is probably more than four thousand, and with the messy consumption, it should be around four thousand five.
If he hadn't stayed and met the eel tonight, his current income would have been just over three thousand one thousand.
Even if you add three specially separated golden pomfret and three sea bass, it is estimated that you will earn a little more than a thousand at most.
Then, he returned to the boat and locked the cockpit, carried the fish box and the foam box of the big eel, and returned to the car with Jiang Luoluo.
Ah Gong should have slept so late, and in the end the two decided not to disturb him.
When the car passed by the seafood restaurant, he found that it was still open, so he sold the fish.
There is a golden pomfret that is about ten catties, but it can only be sold for sixty yuan a catty, and this one sells for six hundred and three.
The remaining two are counted as forty, and sold for four hundred and eight.
The three sea bass add up to 41 catties, because there is no rice grade, the price is 70 yuan a catty, and the sale is 2,870 yuan.
After calculation, it is almost the same as Chu Mingcheng expected, and if there is no eel, it does not make much money.
The price of two eels is only 50 yuan a catty, the weight is 22 catties, and the sale is 1,100 yuan.
In the end, I felt that since the fish were all sold, I simply sold the big eel.
The main reason is that Chu Mingcheng thought that there was no freezer at home, and the fish could only be stored in a foam box, so he could only be sorry for his grandfather.
Next time by all means.
This thirty-pound one was sold for three thousand eight hundred yuan per catty.
It is mainly fishing, fresh enough, and the price can only be sold for 80 yuan a catty if the net is caught.
Back at home, Chu Mingcheng wanted to share the money.
As a result, Jiang Luoluo only collected three thousand eight of the eel, and the rest was used as the boat fare, which made Chu Mingcheng cry and laugh.
However, although she didn't catch much, she also caught a few eels in the evening, plus the golden pomfret in the morning, which was worth a total of several hundred yuan, and the boat fare was just right.
Excluding the cost, I earned more than 4,000 points today, which should be the harvest when a normal angler drives a boat out and encounters a school of fish.
Slightly worse, it may only be a few hundred and a thousand a day.
And it's not a loss, and when you're resting at home, it doesn't seem like this bowl of rice is so delicious.
The next day, it was still raining, but Chu Mingcheng got up very early, he wanted to go to sea as soon as possible, and continue to intercept the fish swimming south.
Unfortunately, there is no chance.
Early in the morning, Jiang Luoluo found him: "Ah Cheng, let's go buy two freezers!" Your little room is packed up and just ready to be put down. I also have one at home, and there will be a place to put it when there are more fish in the future. ”
"In the afternoon, we'll go and identify yesterday's jade bracelet."
Chu Mingcheng nodded, so he went.
People were still looking at the freezer in the mall, but Brother Haiwang's phone called, saying that he would go to Xiamen City this afternoon and wait for tomorrow to go to sea to shoot a video with him.
By the way, there is also a Jiang Yuqi who came over at the same time to join in the fun.
This little girl who likes to show her nostrils, Chu Mingcheng almost forgot about it.
"What's the matter, someone is coming in the afternoon?" Jiang Luoluo, who was next to him, didn't really hear it, and saw that he hung up the phone, so he asked.
"Yes, Brother Aquaman is coming, and he will find me to shoot a video tomorrow. But when people came in the afternoon, I wondered if I would wait to get a good product, and shoot two issues in a row to get a wool. ”
Chu Mingcheng thought about it for a while, and felt that his plan seemed to be very feasible, and it seemed that he would inevitably go fishing and hunting in the afternoon.
Jiang Luoluo nodded and said, "Hmm~ Then you really have to prepare well, I'll go with you in the afternoon and help you drive the boat." ”
"Otherwise, I can't tell when I will come back from the sea, you still stay at home in the afternoon, and help me entertain them when they arrive?"
Chu Mingcheng thought about it and felt that it was better to break her up.
On rainy days, fishing and hunting often show his head, he is afraid that he will freeze and catch a cold, and the water temperature today is not very high.
As soon as Jiang Luoluo heard this, he immediately felt a little ambiguous, let her entertain, wouldn't it be the closest person to do this?
But she looked at Chu Mingcheng, who had a straight face, and didn't see anything on his face, so she endured the thumping little heart and nodded silently.
After discussing, and then asked the store to send the freezer to the door immediately, and after carrying it to a suitable position and putting it away, Chu Mingcheng rushed to the dock to go to sea.
The boat can still drive for about four hours, and the destination is the same place where the rat spots were last encountered, so there is no need to refuel now.
When he arrived at the place, he immediately changed into a diving suit, but this time he didn't have the heart to shoot.
Prepare a bait fishing line and catch as much as you can.
It took a lot of time to buy a freezer in the morning, and it was already half past ten in the morning when I arrived at this coral reef.
After Chu Mingcheng finished the fishing line, he took out the remaining squid and thawed it.
Then I got some food to eat first, and simply solved the lunch.
Today's main purpose is to engage in large goods, and the small squid will not be cut.
After resting for a while, Chu Mingcheng brought a fishing spear, a net with squid to hang on his body, and a diving dagger, and then went into the water with a fishing line in his hand.
Many of the fish hide in the middle of the day, and only a few ornamental fish or small fish are roaming outside.
Not long after entering the water, Chu Mingcheng found a fried lionfish, this fish has poisonous fins, but the fish is delicious and can be sold for more than a hundred catties.
The size of the lionfish in front of him is okay in his race, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight taels without a catty.
But Chu Mingcheng hesitated, and chose to let it go for the time being, it was still a little small, and it was dangerous to catch it.
He then left the area and continued his slow search for other prey.
Finding fish at this point in time was a bit time-consuming, and he had to look for every place he might be able to hide, such as the coral bottom or rock crevices.
Unlike that night, when the fish all ran out on their own, it was very easy to find.
Just when Chu Mingcheng found a hidden place and picked up the small stones that were blocking the outside, suddenly a black shadow burst out from a cave and bit his hand.
He reflexively retracted his hand to dodge it, and with a kick of his foot, he suddenly pulled away and swam two meters away.
Chu Mingcheng broke out in a cold sweat and was almost bitten.
He looked down and saw that it was a moray eel that looked extremely vicious.
Fortunately, it's not a sea snake, and if you accidentally get bitten by a sea snake, then the book can be over.
But since it is a moray eel, the identity between the hunter and the prey has to be reversed.
The moray eel that attacked him just now was now the target of Chu Ming City.
Judging by its exposed head, this moray eel will not be small.
Because of the lack of light in rainy weather, the bottom of the water looked very dim, and Chu Mingcheng couldn't see the specific species of moray eel, so he could only wait until he caught it.
Although he carried a fish spear, he tried not to catch it alive if he could.
Take a small squid out of the net pocket and hang it on the hook.
He still prepared the thickest strong horse line on his boat, although it is difficult for moray eels to pull out in the cave, but this strong horse line will not be pulled and broken, as long as he is careful not to touch the coral reef at the mouth of the cave.
The moray eel had already taken refuge in the cave, and Chu Mingcheng put the squid at the entrance of the cave and waited patiently.
This moray eel didn't look so fierce to bite him just now, but it was actually frightened itself, and it would refuse to come out for a long time, and the squid at the entrance of the cave could not attract it.
Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry, but waited quietly in the blind spot of the moray eel above the entrance of the cave.
Another five or six minutes passed, and there was finally movement in the cave.
After all, this moray eel couldn't resist the temptation of food, or couldn't detect Chu Mingcheng's existence, so he slowly came to the entrance of the cave, opened his mouth and bit the squid fiercely.
But Chu Mingcheng didn't immediately pull the line when he saw it, but after the moray eel had a second swallowing action and successfully bit the hook, he pulled the fishing line up fiercely.
The moray eel was biting and hurting when it swallowed for the second time, and it wanted to retract into the burrow, but a huge force suddenly came from above, which not only made the foreign object in its mouth deeply pierce its mouth again, but even pulled it out some of it unprepared.
But the strength of the moray eel is not a joke, after reacting, Chu Mingcheng couldn't hold the fishing line, and was retracted into the cave by it.
This is a contest of pure strength, and it is clear that he is no match for moray eels with no support points in the water.
