Chapter 254: Chu Mingcheng's bamboo shoots
I originally thought that the number of emperor crabs was not much, but after being transported, my ten crab pots that were obviously smaller were full of eight, and the ninth one also had three seven or eight pounds, and the overall harvest was unexpectedly good.
After carrying it, Chu Mingcheng wandered around the surrounding waters again, and found no trace of the emperor crab, so he gave up and swam back to the boat first.
After taking a shower and changing into waterproof overalls, he turned on the lights and started the fishing boat to drive towards the crab pots, ready to collect the crab pots.
The movement here immediately attracted the attention of the crab fishing boat, and the crab fishermen on the boat cursed.
It took a lot of time for Chu Mingcheng to move, and it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning, and they had already laid down to sleep.
This will be forcibly woken up, because of the anger of getting up, I will naturally feel very unhappy.
But the fishing boat had already sailed away, and they were not slow to move, and immediately drove the boat to chase after them.
After a while, it was found that Chu Mingcheng had begun to collect crab pots, and this group of crab fishers came to the deck again, holding binoculars to watch jokes.
However, the next moment.
"Shet, impossible, absolutely impossible! Why are there so many king crabs in his crab pot? ”
"Could it be that this body of water is a concentration of emperor crabs?"
"Claude, you start fishing the crab pots first, and if the yellow man leaves, we'll follow."
Apparently, there is a basis for their preparation of two crab fishing boats.
One boat used a crab pot to intercept the king crab under the water, and the other boat could keep following Chu Mingcheng, lest he quickly take back the crab pot and run away.
However, in the face of the bumper harvest in Chu Mingcheng, the captain named Claude arranged for the shipwright to work, and when he took back the crab pot, he was directly stunned.
The first crab pot air force, he didn't care.
It's just that the second, third, and even the crab pots in the back are almost unyielding, and even if there are a few small king crabs that don't meet the specifications, he feels very incredible.
"No way, it's absolutely impossible!"
The captain of the other boat also paid attention to the situation on both sides, and when he found that each crab pot in Chu Mingcheng was almost full, only one was empty.
And when he didn't catch a single king crab that met the specifications, he was also very strange.
"Fake, what the hell is going on?"
But Chu Mingcheng didn't give him a chance to dig deeper, and after the crab pots were all taken back and fixed, he drove the boat directly and left here.
Follow the crab fishing spots on the map and head to the nearest water.
At present, more than 400 catties of emperor crabs have been caught, and at least another 500 catties can be put in the live water tank.
As for lobsters, they can only be given up for the time being, unless there happens to be a lobster gathering place near the king crab fishing site.
This time it took three hours and stopped at nearly four in the morning.
Chu Mingcheng didn't go to sleep after putting all the crab pots in, but drove the boat to the shallower water next to it, and then used a life transformation to refresh himself and play games all night.
Spearguns and spears were always with him, and the men were also in the wheelhouse ready to sail at any time, apparently on the lookout for each other.
The crab fishing boat that followed him is currently dropping the crab pots and surrounding his crab pots again.
The previous ship put fifty crab pots, and the crab fishing boat that came with it seemed to be serious, and directly put all the hundred crab pots on board.
Although the other party only planned to use this method to disgust themselves at the moment, Chu Mingcheng was not sure if they would have any other malicious intentions, especially after discovering that the method of encircling the crab pot did not work.
So he is still vigilant and will not let the other party take advantage of any loopholes.
Soak up the sun, play games, and the daytime passes quickly.
Because the refrigerated cabin was full, Chu Mingcheng had no intention of continuing fishing at all.
At night, changing into a wetsuit, he dived under the water again and began to carry the crabs.
'I'll go!' ’
It's just that after coming to the bottom of the water this time, he was taken aback by the density of the king crab.
I didn't expect the crab fishing location I found this time to be so high-quality, and the density of the king crab was no worse than that of the sperm whale carcass, and the number was even more, I don't know how much.
The outer crab pots placed by the crab fishing boats are densely packed inside, and there are even more around the crab pots.
Looking at this scale, it is estimated that the king crabs gathered here may exceed 10,000 catties.
He didn't carry it right away, but swam around to see if it was particularly large.
After observing a circle, he was a little pity, perhaps because there are often people taking care of it here, the largest emperor crab is estimated to weigh about twenty catties, and the number is very rare.
The largest number of emperor crabs here looks like they are all within ten catties, and even about fifteen catties are not much, and the complete number wins.
After it was confirmed, Chu Mingcheng immediately started to move.
First, the relatively large emperor crabs outside the crab pot were moved to his own crab pot, and when the ten crab pots were full, Chu Mingcheng took out the diving knife and showed a wicked smile.
Since there are so many king crabs here, let's keep these crab pots to help him keep these king crabs, so as not to scatter when there is no bait.
It's just that he miscalculated one thing, the rope tied to the crab pot is very thick, and his diving knife is not easy to cut.
After cutting twice, the rope was only a little broken on the surface, and Chu Mingcheng gave up directly.
A rope is so difficult to cut, a hundred can't exhaust him?
Therefore, he simply opened the crab pot with the king crab, lifted the crab pot, poured out all the king crabs inside, and then locked it again.
As long as there were emperor crab pots, he poured them all over, and after making sure that there was no cheap other party, he returned to the fishing boat and began to collect the crab pots.
When the crab fishing boat saw that he was starting to work, he immediately began to collect his own crab pots.
In fact, they were not afraid that Chu Mingcheng would accept their crab pots, so that they would have a more suitable reason to trouble each other.
It's just that the other party has been behaving well, so it's not easy for them to look for further trouble with the other party for the time being.
This time, the crab pot was recovered, and something strange and speechless happened to them again.
The crab pots in Chu Mingcheng that were enclosed in the innermost part were each full.
And the crab pots they recovered were basically empty, and only a few of them contained one or two emperor crabs, which were obviously climbed in after Chu Mingcheng left.
The captains of the two ships were puzzled, they could not imagine that anyone could freely dive to the bottom of more than 100 meters and do bad things.
"Could it be the bait?" One of the captains wondered.
The captain named Claude shook his head speechlessly: "What bait can make his crab pots fully loaded, and we don't have a few crabs in a hundred crab pots?" ”
"Can you find out why?"
I can't imagine how he did it, maybe next time, we can just sneak his crab pot to see how it goes?"
"I think it's doable."
Ten crab pots, it didn't take long for Chu Mingcheng to take them all back.
He didn't care that it was night, so he drove the boat back to the pier, and another crab fishing boat without crab pots immediately followed, afraid that he would continue to go to other places to catch king crabs.
After Chu Mingcheng found the swarms of emperor crabs below, he immediately wrote down the coordinates.
He has no plans to go to other waters, and after going back to hand over the goods this time, he will come here directly next time.
And when I went back at night, I naturally planned to go back to Noah's house early to sleep well, and it was not a matter to use life transformation to refresh my mind all the time.
"Cheng, you're amazing!"
When Noah saw the harvest on the ship, he immediately gave Chu Mingcheng a thumbs up.
He knew that the group of crab fishermen went out to sea to do things, and even considering that they might be out of stock in the next few days, he took some of the emperor crabs to be cooked and frozen, which could be stored for a longer time.
Even he was ready for the next share to be taken back.
How do you know that Chu Mingcheng is so powerful, although this time he went to sea for a longer time than the previous two times, and there were two crab fishing boats to block it, he still caught thousands of catties of emperor crabs.
In this way, Noah can rest assured, and he can continue to sell the king crab quickly, and make this money and flash people quickly.
"That group of crab fishers is not too much for the time being, next time I should bring more emperor crabs back, so I should hurry up and get ready."
"OK, I'll ship it quickly."
After handing over the goods, Chu Mingcheng earned 68,000 Australian dollars this time.
Among them, there are 58,000 emperor crabs, mainly because the individual is not as big as the previous two times, and the average price is lower.
Secondly, red snapper and whisker are cheaper than he expected, with red snapper selling for only $12 and whisker whiskering for only $10.
If it weren't for the large quantities, the two fish might not be able to fetch $10,000.
Before going back, Chu Mingcheng suddenly thought of something, so he quickly stopped Noah, who was leaving, pointed to the rope tied to the crab pot and asked, "By the way, Noah, are there any scissors that can easily cut this kind of rope?" ”
"This. I'll ask. Noah hesitated and replied.
He couldn't think of any tools that would be useful for a while, but he thought that the tools for cutting the rope might be useful, so he planned to ask first.
Chu Mingcheng nodded, and then drove back to sleep, just leave this kind of trivial matter to him.
He was relaxed and happy on his side, but the captain of the crab fishing boat returning to port on the other side was not so pleasant.
The two originally wanted to secretly salvage Chu Mingcheng's crab pots first, but they didn't expect the other party to return to Hong Kong directly.
Then this plan can only wait until the next time, and they decided to be more scoundrel next time, and the crab pots are more intensive.
But they don't know that next time, they will pay a great price.
Chu Mingcheng, who returned home, got up after sleeping and found that the time was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Noah had returned and brought him a pizza.
"Noah, have you bought all the tools?" Chu Mingcheng put the pizza in the microwave and heated it for a while, and then asked.
"Do you look at the two?" Noah is a smart man, and when he hears him talk about the tools for cutting the rope of the crab pot, he knows what the other party is going to do.
He knew that the other party's diving level was very good, so he was happy to cooperate.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the bolt cutter and a saw that moved in one hand, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The bolt cutter was what he expected, but he didn't expect that he also bought a saw, and he was quite well prepared!
He was very satisfied with these two tools, and it would be up to the two ships to put in how many crab pots they were willing to put in.
