Chapter 276: The Possibility of Introducing Rare Aquatic Products
The second big fish at the bottom of the water, unsurprisingly, was also a bigeye tuna.
When Chu Mingcheng caught it, it was nearly twelve o'clock at night.
Even he was tired enough after catching this tuna.
It's no wonder that some professional tuna fishing boats, even if they go out to sea for a week, catch a dozen or so of this large tuna at most.
Even with the help of an electric winch, it can take more than an hour or even two hours to catch a fish.
If he had used a drum wheel like him, it would have taken three or four hours for two or three people to take turns.
Chu Mingcheng bled the second bigeye tuna, and after gutting the internal organs, he hoisted it with a crane and looked at the weight.
This one weighed 337 catties, which was more than 30 catties lighter than the previous one.
No wonder Chu Mingcheng found that the belly of this tuna was obviously thinner, but the length was about the same.
At present, he does not know how to look at the fat content of fish, and does not understand the quality of fish, so it is difficult to estimate the value of two bigeye tuna.
Guessing that it should be more than 50,000 yuan, he doesn't know how much it can exceed.
As for the price of yellowfin tuna, it can be estimated because the average purchase price of this fish is between 30 and 50 per catty, and it is rare to exceed 50, and the gap is not too big.
Bigeye tuna may sell for 50 pounds or more than 100 pounds, depending on the quality of the meat and the freshness of preservation, so it is not easy to calculate.
Of course, this is the approximate selling price of the tuna to the Modu tuna market, and the actual market unit price will be much higher.
"Haah~" Jiang Luoluo, who helped operate the crane and hoisted the tuna to the refrigerated cabin, saw that the night's work was over, so he couldn't help yawning.
Today is also quite tiring for her, fishing and dancing, and the two hours of rest in the afternoon can't recover much physical strength at all.
This is still the result of her physical fitness has improved a lot, two months ago, she was so tossed by Chu Mingcheng at noon, and it is estimated that she will have to sleep for an afternoon.
"Luo Luo, you go take a shower and rest first, I'll clean up here."
Chu Mingcheng saw that she was tired, so he asked her to go back first.
"Hmm~" Jiang Luoluo was not reluctant, nodded and went to take a shower first.
Chu Mingcheng picked up the water hose and washed down the bloody water on the deck first, and then put away the fishing rod.
The sea lions also ran out.
Afraid that they would be hindered when fishing, they were locked in the living room by Jiang Luoluo before.
This Jiang Luoluo went in and the back door was always open, and the sea lions also came over, mainly because they smelled the food.
In fact, Chu Mingcheng doesn't care, he can order the sea lions, and the sea lions will be obedient.
After Chu Mingcheng put all the fishing rods away, he fished some pomfret and fed them to them.
He then walked into the cabin, and soon all the lights on the Poseidon were extinguished, except for the warning lights flickering on the dark sea.
A new day has arrived, and it is also the third day for Chu Mingcheng to go to sea.
He still got up at six o'clock in the morning, making breakfast with bread in his mouth.
The consumption of fishing last night was a bit big, and I woke up hungry in the morning. So he couldn't even wait for breakfast, so he ate a piece of Western-style bread first.
Half an hour later, Chu Mingcheng, who had filled his stomach, began to collect the crab pots, and did not wake up Jiang Luoluo, who was still sleeping.
She didn't come here to fish, mainly because she was afraid that Chu Mingcheng would be alone at sea, so she specially came to accompany him.
Yesterday morning, he caught a shrimp in armor, so today he was the first to collect a shrimp pot.
Driving the boat to the middle of the shrimp pot and the crab pot, Chu Mingcheng came to the deck, first opened the small door at the stern of the boat, let the sea lions go out to feed, and then pulled the shrimp pot back floating, tied the rope to the crane rope and pulled it up.
"Air Force?"
Chu Mingcheng was a little depressed, it seemed that today's luck was not good.
If the crabs and shrimps in the deep sea are so difficult to catch, he will have to change the water layer tonight and catch some pike crabs and prawns.
Later, he hung up the crab pot that had not reported hope.
But he didn't expect that yesterday and today were not bright in the east and bright in the west, and there were three crabs in the crab pot that he was very familiar with.
This made Chu Mingcheng very happy, and what he caught was a big spider crab.
He had encountered this crab while diving while collecting species in Australia.
At that time, he drooled from the dense crowd of hundreds of large spiders and crabs.
This density is almost the same as that of a king crab, and this large spider crab is not small, and the width of the crab shell can reach up to 16 centimeters, which is almost not smaller than an ordinary king crab.
Its legs can reach seventy centimeters in length, and the pliers are very long.
Ordinary crabs usually have only one joint after the pincers are broken, while large spider crabs have three of them, and the meat yield is also very high.
Chu Mingcheng tasted one at the beginning, and the meat tasted very sweet and very good.
If he hadn't come back, he might have specialized in this crab.
Now I didn't expect this thing to be in the sea near Treasure Island, and I don't know if it's a coincidence.
Chu Mingcheng immediately sped up the speed of collecting the crab pots, wanting to know if there were many big spider crabs in this area.
The shrimp pots were not unexpectedly all the air forces, but the ten crab pots caught a total of thirteen large spider crabs with carapaces of more than 12 centimeters.
This amount is completely incomparable to the number seen in Australia at that time.
Australia is overrun, and almost every spider crab has at least a few hundred crabs.
It is estimated that he can catch dozens of crab pots under one crab pot, which makes him a bit of a pity.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the second ability of the Aquatic Illustrated Book, and suspected that the big spider crab here had something to do with this ability.
Normally, the domestic sea should not allow the large spider crab to survive, or it will be difficult to survive.
However, this ability has increased the survivability by 20%, and with the speed of reproduction, in the case of artificial release, it may really be able to survive, but it is still difficult to flood for the time being.
However, judging from the domestic situation, I am really not afraid of the flood of big spider crabs.
If this is the case, is it possible to introduce a variety of foreign seafood such as king crab and king crab?
At least the fresh Red Devil Shrimp Chu Mingcheng really wants to eat, all the domestic ones are frozen, and if you want to eat fresh ones, you have to go to the bullfighting country.
After a moment of thought, he shook his head and came back to his senses, there was no need to care about these things for the time being.
When the plug-in level is higher, and he himself is more idle in the future, he can try to introduce these aquatic products.
Tie up the pincers of the thirteen big Spider-Mans, take a picture first, and then tie them up and put them in the original position of the rich shrimp.
Subsequently, he found several dead armored shrimps.
I didn't expect to survive the first day, and when I returned to the shore, I didn't know how much I could live.
Chu Mingcheng fished out these stinging shrimps, and originally wanted to throw them away, but found that they were actually still alive, but their vitality was already very poor.
This made his eyes light up, and he hurriedly took it into the kitchen, peeled out the shrimp meat of the stinging shrimp, put it in ice water for a while, and tasted the sashimi.
After taking a bite, his eyebrows raised, he found that most of the seafood in the deep sea tasted very good, if he could eat it.
The sashimi of the spiny shrimp is even more delicious than the giant shrimp, which is very fresh and sweet, and the unique shrimp flavor makes people very attractive.
Eat it all in one go, and there is not a single one left.
As for Jiang Luoluo's share, I'll catch some work at noon.
Cat food was prepared for the cats, and after they were full, Chu Mingcheng came to the deck to take a look at the situation.
The sea lions are still looking for tuna or schools of fish, and he can only wait for the time being.
So he sat on the chair at the stern of the boat and sent the big spider crab he had just photographed to Brother Aquaman, who should be interested in this crab.
"Brother Aquaman, how are these crabs?"
"Hey, this spider crab is a little familiar!" Brother Aquaman should be relatively idle and reply quickly.
As soon as Chu Mingcheng wanted to tell him what kind of crab this was, he made a direct phone call.
"Brother, you're a big spider crab, this thing seems to be made in Australia, are you in Australia?"
Brother Aquaman guessed Australia, mainly because the background of the picture is the deck of the ship, which can be seen at a glance.
If you are in a seafood store, the background of the shooting should be the ground or water tank.
Chu Mingcheng: "No, I changed to a big boat and went to the open sea to fish for tuna." I laid a few crab pots last night, but I didn't expect to catch this spider crab. Thinking that you are more interested in these strange seafood, I sent a photo to ask you. ”
Brother Aquaman: "I'll go, there are big spider crabs in China?" I really didn't expect it, I thought it was only in Australia. I have to do this, brother, you must keep the biggest one for me. ”
After speaking, he suddenly reacted again: "No, what did you just say, changed a big boat to fish for tuna?" ”
Chu Mingcheng: "Yes, I caught five yesterday, and I guess I'll go back in two days." When the time comes, I will go to the magic capital to sell, so it will pass by you. ”
Brother Haiwang was overjoyed when he heard this, if he consigned it like before, he would have to spend hundreds of freight.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Chu Mingcheng's ship will pass by him, so that he can board the boat to see how much the other party has gained, maybe he can buy a few more ingredients.
"Awesome, brother, last year it was a small boat, and this year the shotgun has been replaced by a cannon! If you pass by my door in a few days, be sure to call me. ”
"Well, I'll call you then."
After chatting a few words and hanging up the phone, Chu Mingcheng thought of Ah Mine in Shoe City again, so he also made a phone call.
Uncle Mine heard that the boat would pass by, and he was also interested, so he immediately agreed.
The two buyers got it, and he didn't contact anyone else.
The customers in the group do not need to contact in advance, and when they are about to arrive in Wenshi, they can directly ask people to come to the pier.
As for the few customers in the mainland, some seafood cannot be delivered.
Whether it's spider crab or spiny armored shrimp, it's estimated that they will all die after they are packed alive, so it's better not to sell them.
Sell a few frozen fish at most, which is also no way.
After more than two hours, Xiao Huang took the lead in returning to the boat, and shouted a few times after seeing Chu Mingcheng.
"Found the fish? Then go to the front of the boat and lead the way. ”
Chu Mingcheng immediately took action, came to the wheelhouse, started the warm-up of the Poseidon, and then pressed the horn to call the other two sea lions to come back first.
He himself went to the refrigerated compartment and brought out a new box of mackerel bait.
Thinking that the sea lions should not have enough to eat, he took out another box and put it on the deck to thaw.
It is not known what kind of fish it is, but mackerel can be used as bait.
After a while, after Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai came back, he drove the Poseidon to set off.
Xiao Huang had been waiting in front of the Poseidon and noticed that the ship was moving, so he immediately began to lead the way.
This time the journey was a bit far, and after more than an hour, Xiao Huang stopped.
Chu Mingcheng also stopped, and then he glanced at the fish detector, but there was no thick red line on it.
But he didn't care, whether it was a school of fish or tuna, it was impossible to stay where he was.
He relied on the fish finder to find it first, and if he couldn't find it, he continued to let the sea lions look for it.
So he asked Huang to come back and continue the voyage.
After more than ten minutes, in a body of water with a depth of only more than 150 meters, he found a thick red line on the fish finder.
That's a bit small!
Chu Mingcheng was disgusted, but he still stopped, put down the anchor and hurriedly took out the fishing rod to prepare.
The fishing rod was installed in the stern fishing hole, and a live pomfret was fished out and hung up, Chu Mingcheng took a knife and began to chop the mackerel, preparing to make a nest.
The mackerel has been thawing for more than an hour, and although it is still very cold, most of it is already soft and easy to chop.
As for the other box of softened mackerel, he opened the lid and set it aside for the sea lions to eat on their own.
They don't dislike these are frozen fish, and they eat them one bite at a time.
Chu Mingcheng chops a few mackerel and throws them into the water first, which is a bit troublesome but there is no way.
Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo came to the deck the next moment, and she had already gotten up at eight o'clock.
It's just that after getting up today, I saw that Chu Mingcheng was not fishing, so I had breakfast first and went to the dance studio to practice dancing.
Sensing that the ship had stopped, she would come to the deck to see if there was anything she needed help with.
When Chu Mingcheng saw her coming, he hurriedly asked her to throw the fish pieces she had cut into the water to make a nest.
Sometimes, it is indeed much more convenient to have one more person, even if it is just to throw a few pieces of fish, at least he does not need to crouch down and stand up and repeat himself.
At the bottom of the water, what was discovered by Chu Mingcheng was indeed a tuna, and it was a precious bluefin tuna.
It is rummaging hard underwater for food, and prefers to find octopuses and crabs that move relatively slowly rather than sensitive fish.
The main reason is that it is too fat and has a round belly, which affects its sensitivity to turning.
If it encounters a school of fish, it can fill its stomach, but how can a school of fish be so easy to encounter?
So most of the time, it is directly looking for crabs to fill its stomach under the water.
Don't look at its mouth all the time as if it's useless, in fact, its bite force is not small, and it can easily bite crabs.
Just then, it suddenly noticed that something seemed to fall in the distance.
The creature reacted so instinctively that it was curious, so it gave up looking for food and swam to see what it was.
But before he could swim closer, he smelled the food, which made him very excited, so he quickly wagged his tail and immediately sped up.
Don't look at it fat, it's actually not slow at all.
Usually, when I encounter some sharks that are not very large, I will turn around and run away when I see it.
If it's a little slower, it might become food for its mouth.
Don't look at their tuna family, they are sent to the table every day, but in fact they are also one of the overlords of the sea.
The current bluefin tuna has the power of the hegemon of the sea.
When the fish were attracted by the fish block, they immediately flicked their tails and fled.
Bluefin tuna doesn't care about them, and when it finds food piled up on the sand bed, it smacks it up.
At this moment, it is a happy fat fish.
One bite or two.
After a short while, the fish scattered on the sand bed were almost eaten, but there were still fish pieces slowly landing.
The bluefin tuna, which couldn't wait, immediately swam upstream and caught the falling pieces.
It was only after swimming two meters that it suddenly noticed a small fish on it that kept flicking its tail.
That's not the point, the point is that this little fish didn't run away after spotting it?
Pomfrets: Big brother, I want to run too!
The limited brain capacity of bluefin tuna doesn't know what this is all about, but compared to the pieces of fish that taste bad in the mouth, this pomfret is undoubtedly a delicacy in its eyes.
The bluefin tuna spat out a mouthful of saliva and spit out the pieces of fish that had just been swallowed.
The next moment, it immediately rushed forward and swallowed the pomfret in one gulp.
On the boat, Jiang Luoluo, who was standing next to the fishing rod and throwing bait, immediately grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it up after noticing the big movement of the fishing rod, and the fishing rod was instantly bent to ninety degrees.
"Wow!"
This feel, this amount, if it is not a shark but a tuna, it will definitely hit the jackpot!
"Is it big?" Chu Mingcheng hurriedly washed his hands and leaned over.
"It's huge!" Jiang Luoluo struggled to control the crank and replied with difficulty.
After just a short while, the little face turned red.
Even with an electric winch, she would have struggled to catch 200 catties of tuna, let alone at least double this one.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Chu Mingcheng knew that she couldn't bear it, so he immediately took the fishing rod.
When he grabbed the crank and felt the strong pull of the fish at the bottom of the water, his face immediately showed joy.
This heaviness is stronger than the bigeye tuna caught last night, I don't know how much.
Chu Mingcheng stabilized his body and took the fishing rod out of the fishing hole.
As soon as the rod was removed, he was pulled forward and leaned against the side of the boat.
This fish, even if the pull of the fishing line is enough, he can't solve it by brute force, and he has to exhaust the fish's physical strength.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng leaned on the side of the boat and began to walk the fish with his own skills.
Jiang Luoluo looked at his watch and found that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
And this fish Chu Mingcheng was fishing so hard, obviously he couldn't get up in a short time, so he said: "Ah Cheng, I'll go get some food, and I'll bring it over and feed you later." ”
Chu Mingcheng nodded: "It's okay, this fish is not easy to catch, it will take at least three hours." ”
Jiang Luoluo went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and he slowly walked the fish at the stern.
The three sea lions next to them were still swallowing mackerel, apparently wanting to eat their fill in one meal.
Soon, the last fish in the box was swallowed by Xiao Hei.
A box of fish is 100 catties, and the three sea lions eat cleanly, but fortunately, their stomachs are also full, and they lie comfortably on the deck to rest.
They are cool, Chu Mingcheng is not very comfortable.
At present, the fish has run nearly 500 meters away, and the endurance of this fish is surprisingly good, and the strength is great.
Chu Mingcheng also tried his best to control the fishing line as much as he did yesterday, but he was still half pulled out.
If the first round of fish outbreaks does not end in the next half hour, then the line in his drum may be insufficient.
When the time comes, he will either use brute force to pull the fish by force, or drive a boat to chase the fish, but neither of these options is the best option.
If there was really no other way, Chu Mingcheng would give priority to letting Jiang Luoluo drive the boat to chase after him, but he would have to wait for the fishing line to be pulled out of the eight hundred meters.
And just as he was upset, a snoring sound reached his ears.
Chu Mingcheng looked back and took a quick look, and found that the three sea lions were sleeping next to each other.
His eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly woke up the sea lion: "You go down into the water to find the tuna, just stop in front of it, don't come close." ”
They are not allowed to come near for fear that they will be bitten by a tuna or injured by a fishing line.
As long as the three sea lions interfere with the tuna, don't let it continue to lunge into the distance.
Although the three sea lions were woken up, they were still obedient and immediately jumped into the water after receiving the order to interfere with the tuna.
After a while, the tip of the rod began to swing, then to the left and then to the right.
Chu Mingcheng knew that it was the sea lions that played a role, at least the fishing line was not pulled out anymore, but he took the opportunity to take back a lot.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Luoluo brought lunch and fed him.
However, Chu Mingcheng stopped after eating a little, and now he was fishing, and it was too easy to be distracted by being fed to eat.
Time passed slowly, almost an hour and a half, and the tuna was only two hundred meters away from him, thanks to the help of the sea lions.
But they had done enough, and Chu Mingcheng asked Jiang Luoluo to honk the horn and beckon the sea lions to come back.
When the horn sounded, the next moment, the fishing rod in his hand bent down a little, and the heavy force struck again.
As he expected, although the fish was getting closer and closer to him due to the harassment of the sea lions, the actual physical exertion was not as fast as when he fought him.
After a while, the sea lions came back one after another, and when Jiang Luoluo didn't come out, he gave the sea lions an order to rest on the side, and the rest was up to him.
Sweat flowed down Chu Mingcheng's forehead, and the T-shirt he was wearing was already completely wet with sweat, mainly hot.
Jiang Luoluo kept wiping his sweat and feeding him water, but fortunately, after more than an hour passed, this particularly difficult fish was finally pulled to the side of the boat.
"Haha, the first shot to the sea this time has been fired, let's send it!" Chu Mingcheng immediately burst out laughing when he saw this bluefin tuna, which was at least two and a half meters tall.
Jiang Luoluo also smiled like a flower, and teased: "If you catch a few more, maybe you will be willing to buy a house in Siming District." ”
Chu Mingcheng immediately shook his head when he heard this: "If you don't buy it, even if you have money, I won't buy it, if you have one or two million, I'm willing to go to the magic capital to buy a house." Anyway, we have to go there and sell tuna, and we just need a place to stay. ”
"Unless you have money and no place to spend it in the future, it's okay to buy a house in Simin District."
"Okay, I'm in favor of buying a house in the magic capital, but let's get this fish done first." Jiang Luoluo said and picked up the speargun, ready to stab the fish.
"Hmm!" Chu Mingcheng nodded, and tried to pull the fishing rod to get the tuna to the surface as much as possible.
This bluefin tuna actually didn't have much strength anymore, and when he dragged it like this, it immediately surfaced lying on its side.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoluo did not hesitate, and immediately stabbed the speargun.
Her strength was not as strong as Chu Mingcheng, but she was lucky enough to successfully get stuck in the head of the tuna.
The rope at the tail of the spear gun was pulled in her hand, and she cooperated with Chu Mingcheng to pull the fish to the side of the boat, so that it would be convenient for the crane to lift it.
The two came to the side, and the fish was still struggling without dying.
Chu Mingcheng installed the fishing rod into the fishing hole, took the spear gun rope in her hand, and pulled the tuna.
Jiang Luoluo hurriedly took out the crane lanyard, then leaned on the side of the boat, trying to trap the tail of the fish.
I tried three times, successfully circled, and then tightened.
At this time, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then activated the crane and hoisted the tuna up.
"Hey, six hundred and seventeen pounds, no wonder you're fishing so hard." Jiang Luoluo immediately went to see the weight displayed on the crane.
Although this weight has not been bled and the internal organs have been removed, it is still surprising.
"More than 600 catties, at least 580 catties after bloodletting and internal organs. This fish is so fat, the unit price may be higher than the previous Masu tuna, maybe it can be sold for more than 600,000 yuan! ”
A fish is worth a down payment on a house in an ordinary city, which is really exciting.
Both men on the boat took a picture with the fish and bled the fish.
And on the sea, about three nautical miles away from them, there is a food festival going on.
