Chapter 285: Leaving Alone

With six Gan's giant crabs in his hand, Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to put them in the crab pot, but directly carried them back to his boat.

So he swam slowly toward the surface of the water and the Poseidon at an angle of about thirty degrees.

Swimming directly to the surface, he can adapt to the water pressure himself, but it will definitely have an effect on these deep-sea crabs.

Living crabs are worth a lot of money, and he will definitely try to keep them alive as much as possible.

Swimming in the dark depths of the sea is a terrifying thing, with only a small area visible from the bright light of a flashlight, but chaos further afield.

Darkness enveloped Chu Ming City, and it seemed that something would rush out at any time around him.

Under normal circumstances, people will definitely be afraid in a dark environment, especially the associations that cannot be kept in their minds, which will increase their fears.

But Chu Mingcheng didn't have this kind of psychology at all, and some people were naturally bold.

There used to be a path to school in his old house, and there were graves next to it.

Most of the children who go to school there go to school go together in groups, but Chu Mingcheng had a good academic performance when he was a child, and he liked to finish his homework at school and then go back.

Therefore, it is often difficult for a person to walk alone in the evening or even when it is dark and no one is around, and there will be some goosebumps at first.

After only three or four walks, I never felt it again.

Watching horror movies, Chu Mingcheng will only feel a little exciting at the moment when Ah Piao suddenly appears, and then he will be calm.

And now deep-sea diving, for many people, the surrounding environment is very scary, but his mind is full of Mane, and he will not be afraid.

When he reached the surface, he found himself surrounded by a group of small shrimps.

These small dried shrimps seem to be the raw materials for making shrimp skin, and they are quite valuable when dried.

However, he was not interested, and continued to swim to the surface of the water with the Gan's giant crab.

But the next moment, an abyssal giant mouth suddenly appeared in front of him, and it rushed straight forward, as if it was about to swallow him in one bite.

Chu Mingcheng's pores suddenly stood up, and his scalp exploded, no matter how bold he was, he was frightened by this terrifying scene.

At this moment, his heart was beating rapidly, his legs were swinging rapidly, and he immediately rushed up more than ten meters.

After dodging, he looked back and saw a large creature slowly swimming under his feet. At this speed, unless Chu Mingcheng kept staying in place, the other party really couldn't catch up.

He blinked, knowing what the creature was, he was relieved, it turned out to be a basking shark.

This thing was too stumbling, especially when it suddenly appeared in his sight while hunting, and he almost thought that he had encountered an unknown deep-sea beast.

In the open sea, it seems that anything can be encountered!

Chu Mingcheng, who had already swam to the water, poked his head out to change his breath, and then looked around and found two fishing boats with flashing warning lights.

At present, the distance is about a thousand meters, and after confirming the direction, he hurried back.

There were no emergencies such as the great white shark full of fangs on the next journey, and Chu Mingcheng returned to the Poseidon safely.

Six huge Gan's giant crabs were put into the living water tank by him one by one, and the living water tank is currently empty, and he still puts it casually.

However, the first living water tank contained thirteen much smaller Gan's giant crabs, and he used partitions to divide the living water tank into two parts.

When the shrimp pots are taken back tomorrow, the remaining half of the area can be used for shrimp.

Except for tuna and marlin, which are mortal fish that are caught, as long as other sea creatures can live, Chu Mingcheng will try his best to keep him alive.

If he can't survive, then he can only freeze them live in the refrigerated cabin to ensure the freshness of these aquatic products.

Next, Chu Mingcheng went into the water three more times, and together with the first trip, he caught a total of twenty-four Gan's giant claw crabs.

These crabs have long legs, and even if they are all folded, they occupy quite a position, resulting in a living water tank can barely fit twenty crabs.

Of course, if you catch some small ones, you can put more of them.

But a few dozen extra-large Gan's giant crabs are only a small part of the crab group at the bottom of the water, and he must give priority to catching the big ones.

After four trips back and forth, Chu Mingcheng was also a little tired. He used two life transformations to regain some physical strength and all his energy, mainly to relieve mental fatigue and drowsiness.

After all, it is bedtime at night, and no matter how energetic he is, he can't bear the laws of nature.

However, in the past, two life transformations could restore the full state, but now it can only recover some physical strength after using it twice, and it is estimated that it will take at least four or five times to fully recover.

It's not that the effect of life transformation has deteriorated, but that his current physical fitness is much stronger than before, and the upper limit has been raised.

For example, if a pill recovers 200 blood, if the blood tank is 400, two can be restored to full.

But now that the blood gauge has reached more than 1,000 after the upgrade, the knocking pill naturally needs more.

After launching the water three times again, the living water tank was filled with Gan's giant crab except for the place where the shrimp was placed.

The sky is still dark, and although Chu Mingcheng is tired, he can come a few more times.

He lifted his hand and looked at his watch.

"Uh..."

The figure of seven hundred and thirty-six meters above stunned him.

Only then did he realize that his watch was broken.

It's right to think about it, although it is a diver's watch, it only has a basic diving aid, but there is no anti-water pressure design, and no one cares about this aspect.

Diving to such a deep place, and still not stopping back and forth, it is normal that this watch can't be carried.

It seems that after returning to the magic capital this time, you can go and buy a new diver's watch.

Taking off his watch, Chu Mingcheng came to the living room and looked at the alarm clock, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and he could continue to catch Gan's giant crab.

But in this way, he still has to use one or two more life transformations to ensure his energy during the day.

And the living water tank is already full, and no matter how much you catch it, you can only put the refrigerated tank alive.

His current customer volume, too many crabs at one time may not be able to digest, and it is estimated that he will have to sell it cheaply to fishmongers at that time.

Thinking like this, Chu Mingcheng suddenly had no motivation to catch it anymore.

Write down the coordinates, if the crabs don't migrate, he can catch some and sell them every time he goes out to sea and passes by here.

Taking the route of sustainable development, there is really no need to give the crab group to Huo Huo at one time.

So he changed out of his wetsuit and decided to take a shower and go to bed.

......

After two days in a row, Chu Mingcheng took Chen Yang and Zhang Wei to encounter three more large tuna, and both sides had their own harvests.

The space in the Poseidon's reefer is about to be filled with tuna.

Chu Mingcheng simply stacked all the small yellowfin tuna, these frozen and hard fish, and they were not afraid of being crushed underneath.

After cleaning it up a little, the entire refrigerated compartment suddenly became empty again, and at least ten more 200-pound big fish could be placed.

At present, the condition of Gan's giant crab is good, and there are no crabs with low vitality.

There were a few shrimps lacking vitality, and they were directly killed by Chu Mingcheng in the kitchen.

This time, he caught a total of 103 catties of sea shrimp, which are quite large, with an average of about eight shrimps per catty, adding more than 800 experience points to the boutique aquatic product illustrated.

It's a pity that the high-quality aquatic products are currently at level 15, and they get 1,060 experience points when they are promoted to the next level, and now they are more than 900.

However, the tuna's panel has been upgraded to level three, and it will soon be level four.

When I was selling fish in the magic capital before, I was still four tuna away from being upgraded.

Later, he took Chen Yang and them out to sea and encountered a school of yellowfin tuna, and he hunted twenty-one that day, plus five in the past few days, a total of twenty-six.

【Tuna (Level 3)】

[Current Experience: (22/30)]

[Experience acquisition conditions: Hunt more than 50 catties of tuna, you can get a point of experience points; Hunting tuna under 50 pounds will deduct one experience point. 】

[Scanning: You can check the weight of tuna]

[Usable tools: Fishing tackle (hand wire), speargun]

[Reproduction Growth (Level 3): Increases the reproduction speed, growth rate, and survivability of all slow-growing giant fish within the host's binding range by 30%. In addition, 3% of migratory fish will stay in the bound sea area and will not travel to other sea areas. 】

[Binding scope: Huaxia Sea (the sea area of the host country, which will be automatically changed according to the change of the host's nationality)]

[Affected fish: the heaviest can grow to more than 200 catties of fish with economic value]

[Fish Aggregation (Level 3): Has a 3% chance to attract nearby tuna to actively gather in the host's waters. 】

[Deliciousness: +3% (Fish with more fat content and better meat quality will be attracted first)]

[Body Size: +3% (Larger fish of the same type will be attracted first)]

According to the panel, it only takes eight to move up to level four.

However, Chu Mingcheng was not in a hurry to continue fishing, if the eight fish were unlucky, it would take several days and even before he went back.

And a month later, the 10% increase attribute will not have much impact on tuna in domestic waters.

As for the reproduction speed stats, the tuna is currently at 30% and increases by 10% with each upgrade.

The increase of ordinary aquatic products is 10%, and that of high-quality aquatic products is 20%.

Chu Mingcheng used to think that the improvement of ordinary aquatic products was a bit low, but then he didn't think so.

The reproduction rate of ordinary fish is very fast, and a 10% increase is not low.

But even if you can't keep up with the reproduction of high-quality fish and large fish like tuna, that's okay.

Humans will make a move!

Yes, it will be the fishermen who depend on the sea for their livelihood to maintain the balance of aquatic products in the domestic waters.

If any aquatic product dares to reproduce in surplus, domestic fishermen dare to rely on this aquatic product for a bumper harvest, which is nothing more than selling at a cheaper price than before.

But this is obviously a good thing, customers spend less, but fishermen earn more from numbers.

As for the worthless marine creatures, the aquatic product illustrated book will not be affected, so there is no need to worry about this situation.

At present, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei have adapted to life in the open sea, and their tuna fishing skills are almost the same.

Although there was a situation of decoupling during this period, the probability of successful catch was still very high, so Chu Mingcheng decided to leave here for the time being and go to the open sea alone to have a look.

Their ships can't go to the high seas, and they can't take them with them if they want to.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to them, Chu Mingcheng set the coordinates and went directly to the sea area between the East China Sea and Ryukyu Island.

The fish he was going to catch this time was actually the Oriental perch.

In fact, there are also places in the northern part of Baodao and the Zhoushan Fishing Ground in the East China Sea close to the open sea, but the number does not seem to be as large as that of the high sea.

Oriental perch is not well-known in China, even on the small day, and even the vast majority of fishermen do not know this fish.

But this fish is the ceiling of white-fleshed fish, and its deliciousness is no less than that of the deep-sea seven-banded grouper.

And like the characteristics of the seven-banded grouper, the bigger the fish, the better it is.

Because it is rarer than the seven-banded grouper, it also costs more.

On a small day, a three-pound piece can be sold for 35,000 yen, which translates to almost 1,800 RMB, 600 per catty, and the larger the unit, the higher the unit price.

In China, the price of this fish is also not much lower, the average price should be about 500, and those above 20 catties may be sold for 1,000 catties.

This is also the reason why Chu Mingcheng will come over, after all, the price is too touching.

However, most fishing boats are unable to obtain a fishing license on the high seas, and Chu Mingcheng has this certificate, so he is naturally not afraid of the inspection of the domestic coast guard.

There are often patrol boats along these borders to prevent fishermen from sneaking into the East China Sea to fish.

Of course, our domestic fishermen may also run to the other side, and the other side will also take compulsory interception and detention measures.

Chu Mingcheng was also in the border area of the East China Sea this time, and he didn't want to meet the coast guard of Xiaori.

The distance is not very far, and it only takes about ten hours to arrive.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when Chu Mingcheng set off, and now it is more than six o'clock in the afternoon, just enough to have dinner before fishing.

He came to the foredeck first, the weather had been good for the past two days, and the ambergris that had been placed on the deck had been completely dried and hydrated.

The pieces are not as black as they used to be, with a yellowish color on them, and even a little white on one or two of them.

In fact, ambergris in this state can be sold, and some perfume companies can extract the fragrance from these ambergris and then make it into perfume.

Chu Mingcheng checked that a foreign fisherman found the carcass of a sperm whale the year before last, and dug up a piece of ambergris of 254 catties from the carcass.

The quality of this dug ambergris is the worst, similar to his, or even worse.

The others are black, and he is at least a little yellow and white.

But even with such a poor ambergris, it still sold for more than 9.5 million RMB, with an average of 75 yuan per gram, so these ambergris incense in Chu Mingcheng are still very valuable.

】

Like the kind of superb ambergris that is thousands or even thousands of grams per gram, it takes hundreds of years to float at sea, which is too rare.

And this kind of superb ambergris is usually not so big, after dozens of hundreds of years of seawater washing, these superb ambergris can pick up the size of a football and burn high incense, most of them are only the size of an adult's fist.

Chu Mingcheng went to take the scales, weighed a total of fourteen pieces of ambergris here, and recorded them.

After weighing, the largest was twenty-three pounds and six taels, and the smallest was the size of a baby's fist, three hundred and forty-three grams.

All of them together weigh more than fifty catties, only fifty-three catties and seven taels.

According to 80 yuan per gram, the total value still reaches more than 2 million.

This money is enough for a young man in China to marry a wife, and the RV plus bride price does cost so much, so it is about equal to a wife?

Chu Mingcheng was not greedy, and he was also very satisfied with the price of these ambergris.

However, he was not short of money at the moment, so he put the ambergris back in the box to dry, and it was full of seawater, and he wanted to see if the ambergris would change further in a short period of time.

However, now that he knows the value of these ambergris, Chu Mingcheng will not put them outside as sloppily as before.

When you go out to sea, you take it out to dry, and when you return to shore, you still have to put it in the cabin.

After washing his hands with hand sanitizer repeatedly, Chu Mingcheng came to the back deck and first took a look at the shrimp in the live water tank.

"Oops, a few more sea shrimps have died, and even a killer crab has died, the vitality of these sea creatures is too fragile!"

He picked up a cheat sheet net, picked up a dozen or so live shrimp, and then lifted a Gan's giant crab with teeth and claws from the living water tank, and then walked into the kitchen.

Xiao Mi was originally lying on the sofa, but when Chu Mingcheng carried the crab through the living room to the kitchen, it immediately got up and followed behind.

After coming to the kitchen, he raised his head and blinked his big round eyes: "Meow~"

Chu Mingcheng glanced at it and said with a smile: "You are the smartest and the most coquettish, why don't those three stupid children in your family have such a clever energy?" ”

Xiaomi couldn't understand him, but seeing that he was talking to himself, he still stepped forward and rubbed his feet with his body, and then meowed twice.

"Okay, okay, you go to the rest meeting first, and I'll give you something delicious later." Chu Mingcheng took out a cat strip and fed it, then drove it out of the kitchen and closed the kitchen door.

Xiao Mi was smart and didn't bother anymore, and didn't go around the door, it just lay down next to it, and when the kitchen door opened, it would know as soon as it came.

Chu Mingcheng first placed the Gan's giant crab on the eucalyptus board, although this one was small among the ones he caught, but the weight still reached seven or eight catties.

After the legs were unfolded, the cutting board couldn't fit at all, so he simply took out the cutting board and put it aside.

Clean the crab first, then turn it over.

The crab's legs are constantly moving, but unfortunately it doesn't have any resistance at all, it's not like the blue crab that has a big pincer, which has a certain danger.

However, to Chu Mingcheng's surprise, this one turned out to be a female crab, and he hadn't paid attention to this before.

Fortunately, there are no crab roe, otherwise he would have to take them and release them.

Pick up the scissors and cut off its tail, and a lot of blood flowed out.

The blood of this crab is not transparent, but a clear burgundy color, because its crab paste is also burgundy.

Then, he grabbed the crab leg, grabbed the crab shell with his other hand, and forcibly broke it with both hands.

The resistance is very strong, his fingers are a little painful, and it is estimated that it is him, so Zhang Weilai really can't break it.

The shell of the crab is full of blood, and there is a lot of dark yellow crab brain and burgundy crab paste.

The blood was poured out, and the internal organs inside the crab shell were cut off with scissors and cleaned.

The stomach pouch of this crab is very large, and the inside is so black that it has not been digested after three days of raising.

However, Chu Mingcheng didn't cut it open curiously to see what was inside.

These crabs are scavenging, and they will be quite disgusting when opened inside.

If you encounter an anglerfish in the future, you can find any treasures.

Next, Chu Mingcheng used a knife to cut the crab body in half, but he was surprised to find that this crab's body didn't have any meat, could it be that it also eats legs like king crabs?

It was the first time he had eaten this kind of Gan's giant crab today, because considering the length and size of the crab cage rope, he didn't let Zhang Wei and Chen Yang know that there were so many crabs on the boat.

Everyone is going to sea, and if you don't understand it now, it doesn't mean you won't know it in the future.

It is obviously impossible to catch 42 Gan's giant crabs weighing more than 20 catties or even 30 catties in ten crab pots in one night.

Unless the crab pot is replaced with the kind that specializes in catching king crabs, so this time when he goes back, he is going to change the crab pot, and the rope must also be prepared with a longer one.

Eating Gan's giant crab today is not his gluttony.

It's about finding out what this crab tastes like and how it sells when you go back, and see if you need to adjust the price.

After all, the market price is almost twice that of king crab, and if the crab meat tastes better than king crab, then the price is so high who will buy it again next time, and it is not a fool.

Cut the crab legs into small pieces according to the joints, and chop off all the crab bodies.

After chopping the crab body, he found that there was a lot of crab meat, and it was still very full, and the empty position was only in the middle.

Since it is to taste the umami of crabs, Chu Mingcheng did not braise it.

All the crab meat is steamed in a steamer, then the kitchen window is opened, and the charcoal stove is taken out to prepare the carapace.

With so many crab roe and crab brains, eating carapace is the most original taste.

When ready, he peeled off the shrimp and got some ice water to chill the shrimp.

The sashimi of sea prawns is indeed tastier and sweeter than ordinary shrimp.

In the end, he took out a box of snowflake beef from Chen Yang, and he didn't know if the crab meat wrapped in beef slices was delicious.

It took a full hour for Chu Mingcheng to make dinner.

He first took all the cat's bowls, poured a little cat food, then spread some scraped crab meat, and added a slice of beef on top of each bowl.

I made a big meal today, count them lucky.

After a while, the cats chirped in the living room, apparently eating deliciously.

Chu Mingcheng himself began to taste Gan's giant crab.

A crab leg came first, and with a twist at the joint, a large piece of crab leg meat was pulled out.

The crab meat is relatively plump, just like eating king crab, a large piece is directly put into the mouth.

Chu Mingcheng, who tasted crab meat, had a spectrum in his heart.

The crab meat of Gan's giant crab tastes better and sweeter than that of king crab, and is no worse than the large pincers of blue crab.

In fact, although the king crab is famous, its crab meat is really not as delicious as the big pincers of the blue crab.

However, the crab meat of Gan's giant crab still doesn't taste as good as the king crab, which is more delicious.

Then he poured some of the crab meat into the crab shell and stirred it with the crab roe and crab brain, which had already been cooked.

After this mouthful, Chu Mingcheng nodded suddenly, the crab roe tasted quite good and fragrant.

Although it is not as good as the crab roe of hairy crabs, it is not much worse.

In this case, it is still very reasonable for his big Gan's giant crabs to sell for 501 catties.

Although the cost performance is still not high, according to the rarity, there will still be many people who consume it.

However, if you catch some small ones in the future, the price can be cheaper.
