Chapter 327: Target: The high seas on the eastern side of Ryukyu Island
Sending the cat to Jiang Luoluo's studio, Chu Mingcheng thought of his target location and the time it would take this time, so he said, "Luoluo, this time I plan to go to the east side of Ryukyu Island to have a look." ”
"Zhao Jun's side is also about to go to sea, although the newly found captain has some experience, he has never been to the sea too far before."
"I'm going to help step on the spot this time, and if I can, I'll help find some suitable fishing spots, so the time will be delayed, and I may not be able to come back for a week."
"To go that far? Why don't I accompany you this time? Jiang Luoluo frowned when she heard this, she originally thought that Chu Mingcheng's trip to sea this time was the same as before, and he would come back in a week at most.
Now the time is uncertain, which makes her a little reluctant.
But she can't ask too much of Chu Mingcheng, which fisherman can go to sea alone to make so much money like him.
And basically half a month to accompany her, even if you go to work normally, even if you live together every day, you may not have so much time to accompany her.
】
"This time, you will be at home, save more videos by the way, and I will take you with me after I am familiar with the environment on the high seas."
To explore an unknown place, Chu Mingcheng naturally would not take Jiang Luoluo with him.
The high seas are ungoverned and are naturally much more dangerous than domestic waters.
Especially on the east side of Ryukyu Island, which is close to some countries in Southeast Asia, it is not impossible to encounter pirates.
However, this probability is very low, and pirates over there are generally also on the path of some merchant ships.
The high seas are too wide and the chance of encountering a ship is too low, and under normal circumstances, pirates would starve to death if they wanted to make a living by robbing fishing boats.
However, fishermen in some other countries are also hostile to domestic fishermen, and may not do something excessive.
Chu Mingcheng is not worried about his safety, he will take the killer whales with him.
In the worst-case scenario, the ship is wrecked, then he has a way to survive and return to Xiashi.
Of course, this is also his worst-case scenario.
Jiang Luoluo didn't know his thoughts, nor did he know the dangers he might encounter when he went to the high seas, so he reluctantly hugged him.
After staying in the studio for a while, Chu Mingcheng left with the two dogs and headed to the dock.
Buying food, replenishing bait, filling up with oil, and tens of thousands of oceans are gone.
"Money is really unspent!" Chu Mingcheng looked at the balance of more than one million in his account and sighed.
Originally, he had accumulated more than seven million, but unfortunately Zhao Jun had almost spent money on buying a boat.
The million is estimated to be not much, and he also needs to buy two small transport boats with refrigerated tanks to transport the fishing boats' catch.
After going around and around, I didn't even see a foundation for the new house in Xiashi, but all the money I earned was spent.
Fortunately, they are all investments, and they will slowly return to blood in the future.
But now Chu Mingcheng has also made up his mind, now start saving money first, buy the house, and then talk about the rest.
When he set off, he knew that Zhang Wei was out of stock, and it was difficult to receive suitable seafood from others, so he made a special call to ask him to come to the dock to receive the goods the day after tomorrow, and he would get a batch of goods back for emergency purposes first.
The main reason is that Chen Yang's side is not very powerful, and he doesn't get much every time he goes to sea.
Of course, he didn't care about the harvest of going to sea, and he regarded going to sea more as a date with his girlfriend.
Zhang Wei was relieved when he heard on the phone that he asked him to pick up the goods in three days.
It's okay in Wenshi, and customers know that Chu Mingcheng is very random and capricious when he goes to sea.
But the customer he just won in Xiamen City didn't know, he called him every day recently to ask if he had any seafood, and he was numb when he answered the phone, which is also the reason why he called Chu Mingcheng three times a day.
If you can't get the goods from him for a long time, others will naturally go to other seafood merchants to get the goods, and then the customers will naturally be lost.
"Wang, Wang..."
At this time, Chu Mingcheng, after setting the route to the Crescent Island and letting the Poseidon pass by autopilot, teased the two puppies in the cab.
Especially Xiao Heiye, who screamed at him arrogantly, he decisively put it down, and stroked it vigorously with his hands on its belly.
"Make you arrogant, dare to call me?"
Xiao Heiye didn't surrender, and his mouth kept chasing his hand to bite, but every time he bit it, it was very light.
After all, Xiao Hardware had brought Chu Mingcheng's diving knife over, and it knew very well that as long as he focused on it a little, it would definitely turn into a pot of dog meat soup at night.
"You're such a sixth child!" After Chu Mingcheng teased Xiao Heiye, he touched the dog head of the little hardware next to him.
The pastoral dog is indeed smart and sensible, but the character of this sixth child also makes him cry and laugh.
Every time Xiao Heiye gets into some trouble, after Xiao Hardware sees him or Jiang Luoluo, he will always come over to sue as soon as possible and press his paws on Xiao Heiye's dog's head.
After the meeting with the dog, at the beginning of twelve o'clock at noon, the Poseidon arrived at its destination.
The crescent island is still deserted, and there is still no sign of sea lions.
Obviously, either they were all cold, or they had already left, and Chu Mingcheng had no hope that they would come here again.
He fed the dog lunch first, and then settled his own lunch as well.
After going out and putting all the shrimp pots down, he drove to the nearby coral reef area and put down the five longlines he had just bought.
Finally, he had no intention of being idle in the afternoon, and sailed to a deep water area some distance from the island, ready to fish for deep-sea fish.
Today's sun is very scorching, and Chu Mingcheng turned on the sunshade device to block the direct sun.
There is a wide variety of seafood on Crescent Island, and this time she plans to let go and catch it, and then go tuna hunting.
Zhang Wei has rented a low-temperature and refrigerated warehouse, and he can put down as much fish as he can.
The two electric winch rods in the boat were taken out and installed on the left side of the ship, that is, on the east side.
This would put the sun almost in the middle of the sky, and the sun protection would just block the left and right sides.
But as time passed, the sun would slowly turn to the west, so he simply chose the east side in advance, and there was no need to change positions at that time.
But even so, Chu Mingcheng, who had only stood outside for a short while, was still sweating profusely and choking hot.
But in order to gain more, he can only endure.
But I still wish there was a row of big ice cubes next to me to cool myself down......
"Huh? Cooling! ”
Chu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly came to mind.
So he hurriedly took out the blue plastic boxes on the boat that could be used for fish and water, but unfortunately there were only five.
The main thing is that his usual catches are put in foam boxes, and the fish is sold directly to a foam box, which is more convenient, so these plastic boxes are used less, and they don't buy more.
In the past two days, the foam boxes on the ship will definitely be released, so Chu Mingcheng can only use these five plastic boxes first.
Each one was filled with water and one by one moved to an empty refrigerated tank with only bait.
When it freezes into ice cubes, take it out and put it around to cool down.
Busy with his work, Chu Mingcheng returned to the fishing position and continued fishing.
Under normal circumstances, even if you fish for deep-sea fish in such a hot weather in the afternoon, it is estimated that the fish mouth will not be ideal.
Fortunately, the level of the Illustrated Book of Fine Aquatic Products has reached level 19, which has increased the chance of biting by 19 percent, so the harvest has passed, and there will be a fish in five or six minutes.
The electric winch sneered all the time, Chu Mingcheng held a water hose in his hand, and every time the electric winch pulled the fish, it would quickly become hot, and he had to use water to cool down.
Soon, an orange-red Shi Jiugong was fished up.
Shi Jiugong of this color, Chu Mingcheng is also fishing for the first time.
He looked at the aquatic illustrated book and found that this fish belonged to a high-quality fish, and the value of that pound was at least more than 100 yuan.
And this orange-red Shi Jiugong is not small, about thirty centimeters in length, weighing more than one and a half catties, and even reaching two catties.
Chu Mingcheng thought about it a little and recognized the origin of this fish.
Their fishermen generally call this kind of stone nine gongs as deep-sea stone nine gongs, but he really can't tell whether it is a viviparous bladder or a Hest's bladder.
The main appearance of these species of bladder is too similar, and many marine creatures of the same family and genus need to do DNA identification to determine their identity.
But Chu Mingcheng doesn't need to know so much detail, just know that it is a swim bladder.
There are not many such deep-sea fish on the market, and the price is not fixed, so you can open a suitable price according to the market.
It's normal for customers to bargain for their own prices, as long as they don't feel at a loss.
These bladder catfish, caught in 300-meter-deep waters, are basically cool as soon as they reach the surface.
Chu Mingcheng carefully untied it, so as not to be accidentally stabbed by its dorsal fin, and then put it into a foam box covered with crushed ice.
This fish is a little soft to the touch, and I heard that the fish meat is very delicate and delicious, and it is better than ordinary grouper, which is comparable to Jinji fish.
Of course, the fat content of the swim-bladder is certainly not as good as that of the Jinji fish, so the price is also lower.
In the afternoon, the sound of the dog or the sound of the electric winch is very pleasant, the only drawback is that it is too hot.
The sweat that flowed out soaked all the clothes on Chu Mingcheng's body.
It was about five o'clock that he put away the line, but the rod continued to be mounted on the side of the boat.
If the longline harvest is good, he will not go fishing and hunting at night.
With an electric rod and a longline, the catch may not be much less than that of other fishing, and fishing is much more troublesome than fishing.
Chu Mingcheng first counted the catch for the next afternoon, and there were a lot of swim bladders, and weighed a total of more than forty-three catties.
Secondly, red fish, octopus, sea bream, shogun armor, and long-tailed sea bream are also caught.
The amount is not much, but the combined weight has reached more than one hundred and thirty-two catties, and it is already very good to have this harvest in such a hot afternoon.
Chu Mingcheng's current mentality adjustment is also top-notch, every time he feels that he has gained little, then think about those air force elders.
Every time I think of this, Baba is very pleased~~
The boat returned to Crescent Island first and collected the five shrimp pots.
The shrimp in the afternoon were not very active, and the five shrimp pots were only more than 100 catties in total.
Pick up the small ones and throw them back, leaving only eighty-seven catties of monodon shrimp and twenty-two catties of rich shrimp.
Chu Mingcheng is still not disappointed in this, whether he can have a big harvest, the focus still depends on twelve o'clock at night and tomorrow morning when the shrimp pot and longline are recovered.
So he put the shrimp pot back in and sailed to the reef.
The harvest of five longlines was similar to what he imagined, with a hundred hooks on each longline, and the average harvest was more than twenty, and there were no more than thirty.
But because of the size of the hook, the fish caught are only about one pound small, and the big ones are only seven or eight pounds.
Several of the hooks were a little bent, and it was clear that a big fish had come, but it had just been broken free.
In one afternoon, the harvest of the longline reached three hundred and seventy-two catties, and Chu Mingcheng put all the fish that were very energetic in the living water tank.
When I was done, I tidied up the longline and hung up the bait and put it back in, and it was already dark.
Chu Mingcheng simply solved his dinner, fed the dogs, and then fished for reef fish on the coral reef.
Two electric winch rods worked automatically, and he also took out a lure rod.
Now that it was dark, Chu Mingcheng didn't dive himself, so he had no plans to swim with his dogs.
If a shark comes, or a particularly large grouper, the dog will be swallowed by then, and it will be in trouble.
As the temperature drops, the sea breeze at night is a little cooler.
The fish on this side of the reef are also coming out to feed, and they are full of aggression.
Chu Mingcheng's lure rod is soft, so the fake bait is not big, and he doesn't want to catch too big a fish.
He stood next to the electric winch rod, tied the fake bait and shook his wrist lightly, and the fake bait flew out more than 20 meters with a "whoosh~" and fell in the area of the coral reef.
Then Chu Mingcheng continued to tap the tip of the rod, and at the same time his right hand cooperated with the reel.
The first rod was not harvested, but it had already attracted the attention of some fish.
It's just that the electric winch rod next to it is moving, Chu Mingcheng had to press the button first, put down the lure rod and wait for the fish to be pulled to the surface.
This water area is not deep, only about 40 meters, and under the vigorous recovery of the electric winch, a spotted sea bream less than 40 centimeters will soon appear on the water.
If it was before, Chu Mingcheng would still be a little excited to see such a big spotted sea bream, but now, he has no feelings!
Because the water is not deep, the grouper is very energetic, and he uses a copy of the net, takes out the hook and throws the fish into the living water tank.
After changing the bait on the hook on the electric winch rod and throwing it back into the water, the second electric winch rod was also hit.
“......”
Chu Mingcheng didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, he still wanted to play Lua.
However, it is indeed a happy thing that Yukou is so good.
Next, he didn't have time for Lua at all, and the two electric wringing rods seemed to say that you sang and I went on stage, one fish after another.
With more fish and the icing on the cake of the plug-in, the harvest is naturally not bad.
The only thing that makes Chu Mingcheng feel sorry is that there is not a single big fish at present.
This busy, the time unconsciously came to ten o'clock.
Seeing that the electric winch had not moved for a long time, Chu Mingcheng planned to collect the longline.
But look at the time, it's already more than ten o'clock, and it is estimated that there will not be much gain after the longline is collected at twelve o'clock.
He thought about it, so he simply picked up the lure rod, passed the time first, and waited until half past eleven in the evening before collecting it.
In the dark night, under the light of the ship, a pink pencil kept making a parabola in the air.
In the past, the role of plug-ins is not obvious.
Chu Mingcheng threw it seven or eight times, and the rod finally came to the touch of the fish cutting off and touching the fake bait.
His action of reeling the line suddenly slowed down, allowing the fake bait to show a free-fall action, and sure enough, the next moment a pull came, and he finally hit the fish.
However, the pull is not big, and obviously the fish is not big.
Even if the lure rod was a little soft, the fish was still directly pulled back by Chu Mingcheng, and there was no need to walk the fish at all.
He looked down and saw that it was a small fish in his early twenties, barely enough to be used as a dish.
He grabbed the fishing line and lifted the fish directly, and when he saw the appearance of the fish, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The fish is full of spots, isn't this the money spot that I caught before?
But why does the Illustrated Book of Fine Aquatic Products add a little experience value?
Chu Mingcheng observed carefully, and then found out the bright spots.
On the back of this fish, there are large brown-black round classes, which are not found in the money spot.
Therefore, this grouper is not a money spot, but a flower ghost spot, also called a three-spot grouper.
It's too small, it's not enough to stuff your teeth!
Chu Mingcheng lifted this fish, which didn't even have a catty, and put it into the living water tank.
He then continued on to Lua, and then threw a dozen times before he caught a red grouper, which was also just over 20 centimeters long.
Chu Mingcheng has fished red grouper, but he doesn't like this fish very much.
The price is okay, but they are relatively small, and there will be no big nest in the wild, so when he encounters this kind of small fish when he usually fishes and hunts, he basically chooses to ignore it, and he can't sell a few anyway.
But then there were three in a row, either flower ghost spots or red groupers, and Chu Mingcheng was suddenly in no mood to continue fishing.
His lure rod is relatively soft, and the pencil is not big, but it is not enough to catch such small fish, right?
He also wants to have a slightly larger one and walk the fish!
Fortunately, these five small fish are still somewhat useful, and he can at least make a pot of fish soup tomorrow.
The red grouper and the fish soup are very good, the fish is small but the meat is delicate, and it is absolutely delicious.
I put away the fishing rod and cleaned it by the way, and the time came to early eleven o'clock.
Chu Mingcheng didn't wait, and went to collect the rope first.
When he came to the position of the first longline, he was stunned when he saw the float, this float was much deeper than in the afternoon!
Then he hooked the float back, and the moment he picked up the main line, he felt a sense of heaviness.
In the afternoon, when the longline is collected, although it is not easy to pull, there is a feeling of being driven by the sea water.
The feeling at night is different, dead and heavy.
Chu Mingcheng exerted his strength with both arms and began to pull the longline back little by little.
After a while, the first strands gradually emerged from the water, followed by a light brown mouse spot with black dots on the hook.
However, this rat spot had suffocated to death, and it was at least five or six pounds.
Chu Mingcheng's hands trembled a little when he took the fish, it was really painful!
This fish can be sold for more than 500 yuan when you are alive, and it is worth 80 yuan a pound when you die, can you not feel distressed?
Now, he can only choose to eat this fish with tears in his eyes, and it is not cost-effective to sell it!
