Chapter 18 Surprise Sea Oil Crab
Zhang Ze placed the bamboo basket in the shadow next to the reef, and then began to look for fish in the cracks of the stones.
In the end, it was seven or nine years of coastal life, and as soon as he put the bamboo basket away, he washed his hands in the ditch next to him, and found two small groupers.
The grouper is not big, and it looks like it should be about half a catty. But grouper is expensive, Zhang Ze immediately put his hand in to touch the fish.
The ditch was not large, and the two small groupers were unavoidable, and they were taken into the fishing space the moment they were caught by his hand.
[Successfully captured a grouper, weighing 0.56 catties, experience +5.] 】
[Successfully captured a grouper with a weight, weighing 0.63 catties, experience +5.] 】
It's a pity that the price of both blue spots will not be too high, it is estimated that it is similar to mandarin fish, but it is better than nothing.
There is a possibility that mandarin fish will not sell, but grouper can definitely be sold.
After catching the fish and washing his hands, Zhang Ze began to sweep around the reef.
However, compared with the big blue crab, there are more stone crabs in the cracks of the stones, almost to the extent of flooding, followed by pike crabs and blue crabs.
Those small crabs that couldn't be eaten were directly ignored by him.
Fortunately, it's July, and barracuda crabs and blue crabs are also in season, and there are quite a few of them.
In just one hour, Zhang Ze caught six pike crabs and eleven blue crabs respectively.
Compared with pike crabs, which prefer to be on the beach and seabed, blue crabs prefer to hide in the cracks of stones and mud holes in the mudflats, and are more likely to encounter them at the beach.
Zhang Ze was able to encounter so many pike crabs because of the low tide.
In fact, there are still a lot of thinner pike crabs and blue crabs, but he has to catch them to see if they are fat, so they are all put into the fishing space and released after gaining experience.
As for the brush experience?
The first two days when those mandarin fish went in and out didn't have any experience points at all, Zhang Ze knew that it was impossible to brush up on experience.
After roughly scraping around, he also found a patch of spicy snails and snails, and even more oysters on the reef.
But after thinking about it, he forgot it.
These things are easy to cook and very delicious when steamed, but the old mother is probably reluctant to give up that bit of firewood.
Although the wood used in the countryside is cut by herself, these can be sold for money, and in the old mother's opinion, a large pot of snails and spicy snails is not as valuable as the burned wood.
There are so many seafood to eat casually, and Zhang Ze doesn't have to face the nagging of his old mother.
Just as he was about to leave, he paused again, then picked up one and put it in the fishing space.
[Successfully capture 1 snail (1/100), capture 100, experience +1]
"......" have to catch a hundred? Then he might as well catch something else.
Zhang Ze casually took out the incense snail and threw it away, and then returned to the bamboo basket.
He took out a large blue crab from the space, and tied it up with a straw rope.
Blue crabs don't fight in the fishing space, but not necessarily outside.
Get a few blue crabs out, and he can taste this fresh sweetness at noon.
There are only three more than one pound in the space, and the rest are a little smaller.
He took out all the more than a pound, tied them with straw ropes, and then retracted the space, and then carried the bamboo basket and continued to walk towards the big reef.
Tie these up and wait for Zhang Wu to come over, he can also take them out at any time.
There are five people in the family, and he has to catch two more catty blue crabs.
In the era when no one eats in the countryside, it is indeed not difficult to find a few catty blue crabs.
Soon, he found a large blue crab again, and this blue crab was the largest he had found so far.
The large pincers in front of him alone are the size of a three-year-old's fist.
Just hiding in the depths of the crevice under the reef, Zhang Ze almost lay on the ground, reaching in with the broken branch, trying to pull it out.
The blue crab was also strong, and it took him a long time to get it out.
At the moment of getting it out, Zhang Ze hurriedly pressed the tail of the crab body with his hand and then retracted it into the space.
It's not easy to catch such a big blue crab, so it's better to put it in the space first and then take it out.
The posture of the blue crab taken out is Zhang Ze's decision, and when the time comes, he directly grabs the life of the blue crab's hind legs, and the blue crab will not be able to turn over any wind and waves.
But as soon as the blue crab entered the fishing space, the information given afterwards stunned him.
[Successfully captured a sea oil crab, weighing 2.07 catties, experience crit +20.] 】
"it, sea oil crab !!" Zhang Ze's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was incredulous, "How can there be a sea oil crab here?" ”
Sea oil crab, that is, wild butter crab.
Compared with farmed butter crabs, the sauce in wild butter crabs tastes a little saltier, but the oil flavor is just as strong.
The point is that this thing is mainly produced in Laoguang in the south, and the appearance of butter crabs also has a lot to do with geological water quality.
It's just that after looking at the river that leads to this side in Qinghe Village, Zhang Ze blinked, and felt that it was not impossible for butter crabs to appear.
But the problem is that this butter crab weighs two pounds, and he has never heard of such a big butter crab after living for decades.
Once went to Lao Guang, the biggest butter crab he ever ate was only one pound and four taels, and it was still the right time and place and people were there, and he happened to meet him.
Of course, it is difficult to be a head of such a large butter crab, and the one eaten at that time was an anointed crab.
"Alas, it's a pity!" Thinking that it was the sea oil crab found in this era, Zhang Ze could only regret it in his heart.
Butter crabs will only slowly rise in Laoguang in the 90s, and now this thing is not to say that it can't be sold, even if it is given away, others may not think it is a good thing.
Therefore, Zhang Ze temporarily put this sea oil crab in the space and raised it first, and waited for the opportunity to take it out and share it with his family.
Forget it today, he has to let his family accept ordinary sea crabs first.
With a little regret, Zhang Ze found three green lobsters in the puddle, two of which were relatively large, both of which exceeded one catty and five taels, and one smaller one was more than a catty.
An experience point can be given to eight points, and the price can be sold for two or three yuan a piece, which makes him very pleased, which can be regarded as making up for some regrets caused by sea oil crabs.
Now that the sun is getting hotter and hotter, except for some dead sea fish, Zhang Ze has not found any seafood that can be sold for money for the time being.
As for the fishing space, the experience points have already reached more than four hundred, and it can be upgraded a long time ago, so he decisively chose to upgrade.
【Fishing Space (Level 4)】
[EXPERIENCE: 0/400]
[Function: None]
[Space size: 4 cubic meters]
【Fishing Experience:158】
The space had increased by another cubic meter, and looking at the slightly empty space, he planned to catch some fish while he still had time.
After catching so many things, lobsters and groupers are more valuable, and he must not be willing to go back like this.
So the small fish and shrimp that died around came in handy.
Zhang Ze took out the dead ribbon fish in the bamboo basket and placed it in the shade by a reef.
He didn't catch it very carefully, there must be some crabs that he didn't find, this dead ribbon fish is bait, see if he can lure something out.
Then he began to collect some small fish and shrimp suitable for nesting.
In a short time he had collected a large pile of them and threw them all on the surface of the water in front of the big reef.
These small fish and shrimp will spread along the waves, attracting nearby predatory fish.
He then knocked some oysters as bait, hung them on the hook, tied a small rock and climbed the big reef to throw them on the water in front of him.
The water here is not deep, and it is estimated that the bottom of the reef is just over a meter, and the farther position should be deeper.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for fish to come to such a shallow place, but with small fish and shrimp nesting, it can naturally attract fish.
