Chapter 339: The Shipwreck Map Delivered to the Door

Butter crab steaming is not to open the crab shell first, and then put it into the pot to steam.

This crab must be cleaned and steamed directly without destroying its body, preferably upside down, with the shell facing down.

Chu Mingcheng didn't expect that he was so lucky, and the butter crab he caught by chance turned out to be of the top hand.

That is, all the crab paste inside has melted into crab roe, and there is no red color, and even the crab meat has been dyed yellow.

A butter crab of this quality, if Chu Mingcheng hadn't caught it, it wouldn't have survived for long.

It is said that eating hairy crabs is crab roe, but the taste of butter crabs is ten times better than that of hairy crabs.

After Chu Mingcheng finished eating, there were only two words in his head, it was so fragrant!

So the next morning, he decisively sailed to the butter crab farm at the mouth of the Pearl River and found a crab boss with a large breeding scale.

Then I learned through the boss that the butter crab is basically no one in this season, and there are usually some first-time ones, that is, anointed crabs.

The anointing crab is a female blue crab with red paste in the body that has not completely dissolved, but has produced a certain amount of butter, and after steaming, it is opened to a female blue crab with two colors.

As we all know, all butter crabs are female crabs.

And the red paste of the female crab is actually not so delicious, the real delicious is the yellow paste.

The price is naturally much worse, the first-hand can sell for 151 catties or even higher, and the first-hand is only more than 500, which is at least three times worse.

Mr. Krabs said that except for the butter crabs that sell the first hand in a specific season, the other seasons also sell ordinary blue crabs and butter crabs of the first quality.

Out of curiosity, Chu Mingcheng bought a pound of butter crabs for the first time, and it cost him five hundred and sixty yuan.

One is almost half a catty, a total of two.

Most butter crabs only grow to this size because there isn't that much time for them to live bigger.

The butter production in the butter crab is not something they can control, and to a certain extent, the butter crab will be too fat and "explode", and will die naturally.

After tasting two anointing crabs in Chu Mingcheng, he was immediately disappointed.

He has tasted the best butter crab in his hands, and he has already raised his mouth, although the anointed crab is also delicious, but it is too bad.

In the end, he just left disappointed, and it was more fragrant than the anointed crab, or the Sri Lankan blue crab.

But the deliciousness of the butter crab still made Chu Mingcheng unforgettable, and he felt that it was necessary for him to come to the Pearl River Estuary to catch the sea from the fifth to the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year.

As for buying, if you make seafood yourself, how can you be willing to spend so much money to buy it.

Unless, he can't catch it himself!

The time spent at the mouth of the Pearl River was almost up, and Chu Mingcheng began to set off for the Bass Strait.

Along the way, he didn't deliberately buy goods, but simply looked for some aquatic products that he hadn't encountered yet.

However, Chu Mingcheng in the South China Sea has visited twice, and although he has encountered some aquatic products that he has not caught, more of them have been caught.

So it took me two days to get to the Bass Strait and replenish the diesel fuel that had been consumed.

The experience value of the aquatic illustrated book has reached thirty-five, and it is still growing steadily.

Chu Mingcheng is not worried about whether this trip to the sea can be upgraded, there are really too many creatures in the sea.

Even if most of them have no economic value, the remaining ones with economic value can still be easily upgraded to upgrade the aquatic illustrated book to level 5.

The reason why he has been plugged for so long, and now he has only started to upgrade to the fifth episode, is mainly because his focus has always been on the quality of life, and he has not deliberately engaged in these.

After filling up the Poseidon with fuel, Chu Mingcheng summoned the killer whales who had been operating at the exit of the Bass Strait.

As for why the killer whale is at the mouth of the strait here, this is naturally what he ordered.

Because of the small day, killer whales are not safe on the high seas, and they can encounter passing whaling ships at any time.

For these large protected animals, the domestic sea is the safest.

Unless you are unlucky and accidentally injured by a large ship.

Otherwise, they will definitely die in the waters of the country.

After the bodyguards were gathered, Chu Mingcheng drove to the Bass Strait and came to the Philippine Sea, that is, the sea area where he found the eleven fishing spots.

After looking at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought about his next itinerary.

At present, there should be many marine species in the Philippine Sea that he has not encountered, and he does not plan to go far, so he simply goes to the first fishing spot he found last time.

But on the way, he suddenly thought of the matter of the island pirate, and suddenly wondered if the other party was cold.

And the Bass Strait is closer to the pirate island, and it is also on the way.

So he changed direction a little bit and went over there to see...

As the sun was about to set, the Poseidon appeared near the isolated island.

"You're young, you're really alive!"

Chu Mingcheng was holding the binoculars, and he found that there was actually a small shelter on the beach.

I just didn't see anyone in it, and I didn't know if I was sleeping in it, or if I had been rescued.

At this moment, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from a clearing halfway up the mountain, which caught his attention.

Chu Mingcheng looked over there with a telescope, and immediately found a person waving his hands under the black smoke.

Because it was too far away, it was difficult to see what the face looked like, but the figure was very similar to the pirate who was thrown unconscious by Dabidou.

Save?

Chu Mingcheng definitely won't, the pirates are innocent of death!

But a wicked smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and drove towards the beach.

As the direction of the Poseidon changed, the pirate ran to the beach below with great excitement as he expected.

But he didn't notice that the Poseidon was traveling too slowly.

After ten minutes, the pirate ran out onto the beach.

But when he saw that the distance of the ship was still so far, he was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party's speed to be so slow.

Then he went to the heights, and found that the boat was still coming this way, and he was relieved and waited patiently on the beach.

After waiting for another twenty minutes or so, the boat was still so far away, only slightly closer than just now, which made him faintly feel that something was wrong.

At this moment, the direction of the ship suddenly changed.

The pirates on the island panicked, what's going on?

β€œhelp~help me~”

He threw his hands up again and shouted.

Ever since he was attacked last time and his belongings ransacked, and his partner and man were missing, he already understood what happened to his partner and man, and he knew what he was going to face next.

During the ten days of surviving on the isolated island, he was very afraid that he would be alone on this island, and he would rather go to prison than live the life of a barbarian.

And he also knew that he didn't have many skills to survive in isolation, and he was able to survive this time entirely because the previous supplies had not been eaten.

Once he finishes eating, there is a high probability that he will starve to death.

However, in the past ten days, he has also encountered three ships.

It's just that the previous ships were too far away to see this side, and today this ship is the closest.

The boat turned around suddenly, and he wasn't sure if it was a little dark now that the other party couldn't see him, or if the other party had clearly seen it, but he didn't want to make trouble and deliberately couldn't see it.

But no matter which possibility he had, he didn't want to give up easily, so he hurried back to the temporary shelter he had built before the Poseidon had gone far and took two things out.

The other appears to be a piece of parchment, and the other holds a homemade torch in his hand.

He lit the torch with a lighter, ran back to the beach, brandished the torch and shouted, and occasionally took a look at the parchment so that he could see it clearly.

Chu Mingcheng himself had been paying attention to him, and because it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, he still wanted to leave.

The bad taste has been satisfied, and he has no nostalgia for this side.

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden surprise, and the other party didn't know what he was holding in his hand, but the success aroused his curiosity.

Originally, I only planned to see if the pirate was cold, but after finding out that he was not cold, he teased and teased him, but the other party actually took out something I don't know what to seduce him.

The pirate was actually very helpless, if he had a choice, he really wouldn't take this thing out.

But last time, Chu Mingcheng did it too simply, not only taking away the belongings under the bed, but also poaching all the private money of ordinary pirates.

But if there is any gold left, he will not take it out.

As for why Chu Mingcheng didn't find the parchment last time, it was because this pirate was very clever to put it in the pillow and not put it in the box.

Then, Chu Mingcheng approached by boat, and deliberately pumped up the rubber boat, all the way to the beach.

The pirate came to him with a happy face, but when he saw his face clearly, a familiar one came to his face.

But before he could think about why the person in front of him was so familiar, the next moment, a more familiar Dabi came to his face.

There was a crisp sound of "pop~", and it was still at that angle and position, and the left side of the face that had just been swollen returned to its original state again.

The pirate didn't even have room to struggle, and immediately fell straight to the ground.

Chu Mingcheng took away the parchment and extinguished the torch by the way.

He had a flashlight, and he couldn't use that.

When I opened the parchment, I didn't expect it to be a hand-drawn map, complete with some English.

Chu Mingcheng's English level is not good, of course he can't understand it, so he has to go back to the ship and slowly use the software to translate.

He didn't see where the map was on the parchment for a moment, it was a little abstract, except that there was a place on it that was deliberately marked with red dye.

This look, how to look like a treasure map.

Chu Mingcheng's excited heart was pounding, he didn't expect this pirate to take out a treasure map to tempt people, he was not afraid that things would be fooled away, and then be sunk in the sea?

If the pirate was still awake and knew what he was thinking, he would have cursed him, and if he had taken something and left him on an isolated island, would it be worse than sinking into the sea?

And if there is a choice, he will take out the map?

After being rescued, he will definitely be sent back to China, and then he will go to prison as soon as he investigates.

He can't read what is drawn on this map at all, so there is no way to find it, so it is better to simply be a reward.

The pirate didn't know the true value of the map, he was illiterate, and he couldn't read English either.

The person who really knows the value of this map is the pirate head who was sent by the tail of the killer whale to feed the fish.

Although the pirate leader was a fisherman, he had been mixed up with the captain of a large pirate group before coming here.

Later, he betrayed the pirate group with parchment.

This group of subordinates was incorporated by him after he came here, so although this small group of pirates is a ragtag pirate, they still steal a lot of things.

Chu Mingcheng put away the parchment and prepared to go back.

It was only when he came to the dinghy that he looked back at the lying pirate, and after thinking about it, he kindly lifted him up like a dead dog and threw him into the humble shelter.

This is a "good person", he sent him warmth twice, and Chu Mingcheng was embarrassed to let him sleep on the beach like this.

And he didn't feel that he had lost much weight in the past ten days, it should be very good to live alone on the isolated island, and he couldn't bear to change the other party's lifestyle, so let him continue to stay here!

Clapping his hands, Chu Mingcheng hummed a little song in his mouth and returned to the Poseidon in a rubber boat.

The Poseidon did not turn off the fire, and when he drove to the other side of the island, he found that there was a reef area on this side, so he put the longline down and immediately returned to the ship to study the parchment he had just grabbed.

Open the laptop, on the translation software on the Internet, Chu Mingcheng translated the English on the parchment one by one.

He didn't speak much English, and soon he knew the most crucial information on the map.

Shipwrecks, Palau Basin.

The specific information on the map is to mark the several shipwrecks that sank in the Palau Basin, and as for the ships, when they were wrecked, and what was on board, the map did not write it.

It was really unclear where the Palau Basin was in Chu Ming City, and then he looked it up on the computer, only to find that the Palau Basin was on the lower side of the Philippine Sea.

That is, the northeast of Malaysia, the southeast of the maid country.

"How can there be merchant ships passing by in this place?" The approximate history can be seen from the parchment, which should be between 1800~1950 in the last century.

Normally, commercial trading ships would sail from the western route, and the points marked on the map are not the main trade routes.

However, when Chu Mingcheng first learned some information about the pirates, he knew that some ships deliberately took a long detour to avoid the pirates and passed through the Palau Basin.

So what kind of ship is this that makes people deliberately leave a map?

Chu Mingcheng said that it was definitely impossible not to be curious, but there was too little information on the map, and he was not sure if the pirate on the island knew the inside story.

He felt that there was a high probability that he didn't know, and if it was a useless shipwreck, no one else would leave a map.

And the pirate took out the map at will, naturally he didn't know the specific inside story to do so, so Chu Mingcheng also extinguished his mind to go back and ask.

The Palau Sea Basin is far away from his side, and he is mainly upgrading the aquatic illustrated book this time, plus the relocation banquet in a week, so he does not plan to go now.

But now that the time was good, he began to poruse the map to find the approximate location on the Internet.

He was relieved when he found out that the marked spot was on the high seas.

On the high seas, it will be easier for him to look for wrecks later, and things will be easier to transport back.

If it was near the sea in these countries, Chu Mingcheng's ship could not get close, and he could only go to these countries in the form of tourism to look for shipwrecks.

In addition, even if the shipwreck is found and the treasure is excavated, it is difficult to bring it back to China and pass through customs.

This is also the reason why Chu Mingcheng did not go to the Maritime Silk Road in the south to look for shipwrecks.
