Chapter 332: Shipwreck? Shen well!

Hurriedly opened the second white butterfly oyster with a knife, and Chu Mingcheng found a round and shiny white pearl in it again.

However, this pearl is a little smaller, probably only seven or eight millimeters in diameter.

He didn't have a measuring tool for what it was, so he could only guess roughly.

Looking at the two big white butterfly shells, Chu Mingcheng didn't know for a while whether it was his luck, or if it was such a big one because of the long age, the probability of producing pearls was high.

Anyway, at this moment, he suddenly had the urge to return to the desert island immediately and continue to pick up white butterfly shells.

However, intellectually, Chu Mingcheng knew that his more important task now was to find a fishing spot, so he suppressed this impulse.

If you want to get the right pearl necklace, it's a long job.

He himself wasn't sure if he would be able to get enough pearls before he got engaged, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to get a whole one, depending on luck.

In this way, it is not bad at this time, every time I come to the high seas, I dig a batch of white lipped oysters and slowly open them.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng put the two pearls into the bedroom and hid them, and then came out to continue preparing dinner.

Looking at the coconut crab that was still steaming, he first came outside with two white lipped mussels and the soaked vermicelli garlic sauce, and put the things on the table.

Not in a hurry to roast, he went into the kitchen again and waited for the coconut crab to be steamed.

It was so big that it took a lot of time to steam it thoroughly, so he waited forty minutes to open the lid.

A red-colored crab appeared in front of him, steaming hot.

Just looking at it like this, I don't think it's very delicious, and it doesn't look very good.

But the moment the lid is opened, a special aroma comes to the nose.

This fragrance is completely different from the fresh aroma of sea crabs, but it has a herbaceous aroma, a special taste that belongs to mountain crabs.

Then Chu Mingcheng used a big clamp to clip out the coconut crab weighing more than ten catties and put it in a large plate to cool down naturally.

Then he took the plate to the table outside, let it continue to cool down, and began to roast the white lipped mussels.

The shells of the shells look very large, but in fact, there is not a lot of meat left after the internal organs are removed.

This is the case with shellfish and snails themselves, which are generally heavy shells.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care, he just wanted to eat grilled scallops, but the scallops were not replaced by white lipped scallops.

It is said that Brother Haiwang's roasted slippers with garlic sauce are delicious, and I believe that the roasted white butterfly shells will not be bad.

Top with vermicelli, spread the garlic sauce and start grilling.

The only thing that is a bit of a waste is the shell of the white lipped shell, after all, this shell is also very useful and can be used to make jewelry, and even many women's luxury buttons are made of this shell.

The white butterfly mussel next to it was roasted, and Chu Mingcheng began to disassemble the coconut crab next.

Just as he was about to do it, he suddenly thought that such a rare ingredient should not be shared with relatives and friends?

So he smiled, took out the phone holder, and put it next to him.

Then attach the phone and aim it at the table.

Subsequently, he initiated a multi-person video call in the group.

There are up to nine people on multi-person video calls, and there are only six people in his group, so naturally there is no problem.

The first one to pick up was naturally Jiang Luoluo, she had just eaten and was about to rest and practice yoga, but Chu Mingcheng suddenly launched a video call.

As soon as she connected it, she saw a big red crab on the table, and there were two large shellfish on the charcoal stove next to it.

Coupled with Chu Mingcheng's slightly embarrassed smile, she didn't understand what the situation was.

He rolled his eyes with a soft expression: "Are you going to release poison?" ”

Chu Mingcheng smiled: "That's not possible, this is not considering that you have never eaten coconut crab, I will eat it for you today and let you know what it tastes like." ”

"Sister-in-law, listen to what is this called. Coconut crabs are also sold on the Internet, isn't it six or seven hundred and one pounds, as if I can't afford to eat them. ”

Zhang Wei happened to hear his words after connecting, and immediately complained to Jiang Luoluo with dissatisfaction.

Chu Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, grabbed the whole coconut crab and showed it to him: "Ten catties, can you buy it?" ”

Chen Yang, who had just turned on the video call, saw the big spider on the screen, and suddenly said a groan.

If you look closely, it turns out to be a coconut crab.

"Ah Cheng, where are you Huohuo, why did you come to such a big coconut crab?"

Chu Mingcheng: "The open sea! Your ship can't come to the high seas, so don't think about it! ”

"This..."Chen Yang was speechless, he suddenly regretted it, and sighed, "Oh, I would have spent more money to buy a boat that could go to the high seas." ”

"That's not necessary, I'll take you to the high seas when I have a chance, it's crowded." Chu Mingcheng was shocked when he heard this, but on the surface, he was very determined to stop it.

From the time he encountered pirates, he felt that the high seas were very unsafe.

Medium and large fishing boats and cargo ships are okay, even if they are private sport fishing boats, they are fat sheep in the eyes of others when they come to the high seas, even if there are very few pirates in his area.

However, he is protected by five adult killer whales, so there is no need to worry about safety.

"Is there any such coconut crab on the high seas?" After Zhang Youning clicked on the video call, he was attracted by the coconut crab.

Recently, she and Chen Yang have been surfing the sea everywhere, and at the cost of half a degree darker complexion, she has eaten a lot of seafood that she has never eaten before and is reluctant to buy.

She used to hate the smell of fish, but after going out to sea, she realized that most fresh fish don't smell fishy.

The fishy smell is basically a little unfresh.

However, she has only been exposed to these things for a short time, and she is very interested in these things that are expensive and uneaten for the time being.

Chu Mingcheng heard that she was asking, so he answered seriously.

"Yes, the small island I found has quite a lot of coconut crabs. Next time we have the opportunity to go out to sea together for a few days, bring a tent to the island for a night. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Luoluo thought of the situation on the island last time, hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be any murderers living on this island on the high seas, right?" ”

"No, don't worry!" Chu Mingcheng smiled and comforted, "Which murderer can run so far!" ”

"If anyone ever went to that island, do you think I could still find a coconut crab weighing about ten pounds? It's been given to Huo Huo a long time ago, okay? ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made a lot of sense, so they began to discuss when to go to sea together.

Chu Mingcheng was not idle at this time, picking up tools and preparing to disassemble this coconut crab.

As soon as he took it, he found that the coconut crab was full of oil.

That special aroma is the smell of these oils.

The dismantling of coconut crabs is not troublesome, as long as there are scissors and a small hammer.

Everyone also stopped discussing at this meeting, and watched Chu Mingcheng dismantle the crab with relish.

In particular, the belly under the coconut crab is full of paste and oil.

Zhang Youning smashed his mouth: "It looks delicious." ”

Chen Yang suddenly smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll buy one?" ”

She immediately shook her head: "No, Ah Cheng said that there is still one on the island, and I want to catch it myself." ”

Bai Jing interface: "It tastes good when you catch it yourself." ”

Zhang Youning immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes!" ”

However, when Chu Mingcheng picked out all the crab meat, the crab claws were smashed open, and the white butterfly mussels were also cooked and ready to eat.

Several people who connected with him suddenly quit the chat one by one, and Zhang Wei even left a sentence: "Dog things, do you want to eat them for us?" Think beautifully, goodbye to you~"

After speaking, he also decisively withdrew from the video chat, which made Chu Mingcheng stunned for a while.

Jiang Luoluo covered his mouth and chuckled when he saw this: "Let you be scared, be tricked by them!" ”

Chu Mingcheng was speechless: "All of them are living into human beings!" ”

"It's me and I don't look at it, anyway, I can catch it myself after a while."

"Well, it looks like I'm still too nice to them."

"Haha, you eat first! We'll talk again in the evening, and I don't want to watch you eat good food, but it doesn't have my share, huh! ”

"Shall I grab one and bring it back?"

"Don't be, it's a problem to be discovered. Let's wait until we go to sea together! Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to do yoga! ”

Looking at the chat interface that he exited, Chu Mingcheng sighed softly, he had to go too far!

This dinner tastes inexplicably less flavorful.

After eating dinner and admiring the sky full of stars, Chu Mingcheng packed up everything on the deck and continued to work.

For the next two days, he spent the vast expanse of the ocean scouting the map for fish clusters, noting all the suitable fishing spots.

During this period, we also encountered many schools of fish of ordinary value, such as mackerel and sardines.

However, whether or not they can be encountered depends on luck, and there is basically no fixed fishing location, and only fishermen with work experience know their migratory routes.

After coming to the high seas, he found out that there was really no need to come to the high seas to catch the flowers.

The production in the East China Sea is very high, and it is actually difficult to encounter fish suitable for fishing on the high seas, and the taste of the same species of fish may not be comparable to that of domestic ones.

In two days, Chu Mingcheng explored ten places again.

So far, with the addition of the three places explored in the past few days, there are already 11 fishing spots in the southeast of the Bass Strait, which is completely sufficient.

It has been five days at sea, and he has spent a day fishing and hunting, and has successfully caught 21 boxes of deep-sea fish and grouper.

The real trevally bait has all been used, and there are currently thirty-four foam boxes used, and sixteen remaining.

Chu Mingcheng set the target location in the northeast of the Bass Strait, wanting to see what fish resources were there.

On the way to the Northeast Sea, he spent more than 3,000 green coins to fill the boat with fuel.

This time it is quite fuel-consuming to find a fishing spot, but fortunately, there are more than 300,000 green coins to squander.

Compared to the southeast, the northeast sea of the Bass Strait can only rely on fish finders to find suitable fishing spots, except for the real trevally map.

In five days, the fixed fishing spots for the real trevally and tuna have been almost analyzed.

Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to go to every place once, so he directly threw the coordinates to Zhao Jun and let them watch it themselves.

It took him a whole day and a half to get from the southeast to the northeast.

This location, if you drive to the southwest, it is a small day.

But he kept going northeast, so he was always on the high seas.

According to the comparison of the horizontal lines on the map, his current position should be at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in China, quite far away.

But if you come here, even if you find a suitable fishing spot, Zhao Jun's side shouldn't come so far.

The fishing spots I found were enough, and Zhao Jiahang himself had been to the high seas and knew some very good fishing spots, so there was no need to go to the waters in the northeast.

Chu Mingcheng came here, purely because he felt that he had come to the high seas, so he simply walked around the north and south seas, anyway, there were robbed green coins, and he was not afraid of fuel consumption.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, he saw a school of fish on the fish finder again.

Compared to the beautiful coral reefs in the south, most of the reefs in the northeast are reefs, and his current location is no exception.

However, the fish are at a depth of about 40 meters, so they don't need to keep close.

Since there are reef groups, it is possible that there are deep-sea fish schools nearby, based on previous experience.

Chu Mingcheng manually piloted the boat and began to sail around this reef group.

Occasionally, there are some deep-sea fish tracks on the fish finder, but there are not many of them.

It wasn't until he came to the east that there was a sudden fault in the depth of the water, from more than 100 meters to more than 300 meters, and there were traces of fish activities.

Chu Mingcheng suddenly became interested, and in one day, he came from summer to late autumn.

The day before yesterday in the south, the daytime temperature was still 30 degrees.

When I came here, it dropped to 16 degrees Celsius, and the deep sea was obviously cooler, which was suitable for cold-water fish.

Apparently the people who lived at the bottom were cold-water fish, so he set sail in the direction of due east.

The depth of the fish finder also slowly increased, three hundred and thirty, three hundred and forty ......

It was not until it was more than 370 meters that a large red color suddenly appeared on the fish finder, and it encountered a school of deep-sea fish.

But Chu Mingcheng did not stop because of this, and chose to continue to drive forward, but after continuing to drive for a while and finding nothing, he returned to the vicinity of the reef group.

The water is shallow, and there is a sandy area, which is quite suitable for anchoring and mooring.

I was going to be here today, Chu Mingcheng stopped the boat and turned off the fire, and then changed into a diving suit.

Seeing this, the killer whales immediately understood that there was no need to hurry today, so the leader immediately informed his companions and set off on the hunt together.

Chu Mingcheng doesn't take them to find tuna every day, only when they help a lot, can they have the opportunity to enjoy the delicious taste of tuna and eat it to their heart's content.

He didn't care about the killer whales, if they didn't fill their stomachs, they would come to him later.

Changing into a wetsuit, bringing a speargun and the necessary lighting tools, he came to the stern of the boat and jumped into the water.

Ignoring the batch of fish at a depth of forty meters for the time being, Chu Mingcheng began to dive along the waterway due east.

He planned to see what that batch of deep-sea fish was first, and whether it was worth it.

As soon as he came to the bottom of the water, a fish estimated to be thirty or forty centimeters long, with brown patterns, was alarmed, and immediately "swished" and ran away.

Chu Mingcheng didn't look at it carefully, but he felt that the appearance of the lake was a little familiar.

Then, he was at the bottom of the water, swimming all the way to the deep-water fish.

In this waterway, you can occasionally see some flounder.

But it's not too big, so he doesn't have much interest in hunting.

The fish gathering place is not far away, Chu Mingcheng is holding a flashlight in his hand to illuminate, and when he is about to reach the fish gathering point, he suddenly shines on a white wall in front of him.

Not only that, but there are a lot of fish swimming around the wall, and it seems that this is their home!

Chu Mingcheng was stunned, because this wall was a little familiar.

His heart was beating faster and faster, and he scanned the so-called "wall" with his flashlight.

When he saw the neatly arranged windows, he was finally sure that there was a shipwreck here.

And from the high-tech design of the hull, it can be seen that this is a large yacht.

Of course, this sense of technology is a bit outdated for modern times.

Chu Mingcheng immediately swam to the top of the boat, and the flashlight shone on the entire ship and began to look.

The yacht is quite large, and the whole ship is still largely intact, with an estimated length of only about fifty meters.

Of course, there is no comparison with a cruise ship.

After going around the yacht, Chu Mingcheng finally found the name of the yacht, and the Japanese that he couldn't understand turned out to be the yacht of the small day.

Shen is good, you must sink a little more, otherwise how can he hunt for treasure?

Fifty meters of yachts, three stories high, it is estimated that there are quite a lot of places to explore, and there may be dozens or hundreds of rooms alone.

I looked at the equipment on my body, and it was basically for fishing and hunting.

Not to mention the contents of the shipwreck, there are a lot of fish living in this ship.

If Chu Mingcheng wanted to explore the wreck, he must bring some more nets and ropes, so he simply picked up the speargun and prepared to hunt a batch of fish first.

It's all here, how can you go back empty-handed!

So he approached the wreck and set his eyes on the swimming fish.

'Hey, these are codheads?' ’

After getting closer, Chu Mingcheng immediately recognized the species of fish, which was a relatively large number of cod, also called Pacific real cod.

This kind of cod is found in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in China, and the name in the north should be big-headed fishy, but it is rare.

The main fish live either in reef flats or in shipwrecks.

There are shipwrecks in this place today, and it is a deep sea, so it is not surprising to encounter big-headed cod.

And it's almost November, and it's just time for the cod season.

Chu Mingcheng quickly found a target, a big-headed cod with a body length of about eighty centimeters and a bulging belly.

The fish swim very slowly and do not seem to be aware of the danger at all.

But Chu Mingcheng still held the speargun and aimed for more than ten seconds before pressing the trigger.

"Whoosh~"

The arrow burst through the water and pierced the head of the cod in an instant.

I deliberately aimed at it for so long, originally I wanted to ensure the integrity of the fish body as much as possible.

Deep-sea fish must be very strange when they show scars after fishing and hunting.

However, cod is usually decapitated and gutted, so it is okay to destroy the head.

Chu Mingcheng has a vacuum machine on the ship, and there are also transparent packaging bags, although the number is not much, but it is no problem to pack a dozen fish.

"Whoosh~"

From time to time, there is the sound of arrows breaking through the water, and every time it is fired, a cod is bound to be hit.

It only took about 20 minutes for him to successfully hunt 12 cods that were 70 or 80 centimeters long, or even one meter long.

These cod fish have one characteristic, that is, they have bulging bellies.

Even the lightest one weighs more than ten pounds.

Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng had great strength, and nearly two hundred catties of fish were still easily brought back to the boat.

Throwing the fish on the deck, Chu Mingcheng immediately brought the fish killing knife, as well as the vacuum machine and the packaging bag.

Pick up a fish and skillfully pull it on its belly, and the contents of the stomach are suddenly exposed.

Chu Mingcheng was stunned when he saw it, so many fish roe?

"Hey, no, this is Baizi, right?"

After a closer look, Chu Mingcheng determined that these were the white sons of fish, that is, the essence nest of fish.

That's a good thing!

He carefully pulled them all out and set them aside, and then he continued to handle the fish's internal organs.

In addition to white seeds, the white and tender fish liver and thick fish belly are also delicious.

So he stayed all of them and put them with Baizi.

But on the liver he saw Anisakis elegans, a parasite.

This shows that fish eat sashimi, and it is best to eat only its flesh and never sashimi its internal organs, as most of them may have parasites.

Fortunately, there will be no problem when these are fully cooked, and the temperature can be killed when the temperature reaches seventy degrees Celsius.

After the internal organs are handled, it is best to scrape the black membrane on the wall of the cod.

Deep-sea fish basically have this black membrane, which is different from shallow water fish.

There are many creatures in the deep sea that emit light, and if there is no black membrane, the fish will also glow in their stomachs after eating these luminous creatures, causing them to be discovered by other predators, so they have evolved this black membrane.

A fish was quickly cleaned up, and Chu Mingcheng removed the head and tail of the fish and put it into a bag.

In addition, the white seeds and cod liver and fish maw are placed in a new bag, separated from the fish, and finally processed in a vacuum machine.

Twelve fish, Chu Mingcheng cleaned up very quickly, it only took half an hour.

After all the fish were vacuum-processed, he put them in a refrigerated compartment and frozen.

Walking out of the refrigerated cabin, Chu Mingcheng took the water hose to rinse the deck, and then went to take out the net bag, lighting tools and rope.

I won't bring a speargun this time, just bring a spear for self-defense.

Jumping into the water again, Chu Mingcheng found the right direction and quickly swam towards the sunken ship.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a huge seven-banded grouper, swaying gracefully on the deck of the ship.

It's normal for shipwrecks to have huge objects, and the seven-banded grouper is also the only grouper that can survive in cold water.

When this old friend appeared, Chu Mingcheng was a little entangled.

Do you want to get it done first?

This seven-banded grouper is almost more than two meters old, and it must be very aggressive, in order not to be bitten by the fish, but also to facilitate the entry and exit of the shipwreck.

Chu Mingcheng finally took out the fish spear and decided to get it done first.

The large grouper was not worth the speed, and he swooped down from above, and the spear stabbed the grouper into its body as it reacted, nailing it to the deck.

There were a few bangs, and it was the sound of the tail of the seven-banded grouper smashing into the deck.

Its strength was very large, if it weren't for Chu Mingcheng's sneak attack without martial arts and nailing it to the deck, it was estimated that it would be difficult to control it.

The fish would lie on its side and be pinned to the deck, but it wouldn't have much strength.

Chu Mingcheng pressed the fish spear and waited for it to die, and while waiting, he also often observed the surroundings, so as not to approach any danger.
