Chapter 183: Tong Yuanhang Discovers A...
Zhang Ze thought it would be such an oil cone, but when he fished the bottom next, an oil cone would come up from time to time, which surprised him very much.
Look, there's a group of oil cones at the bottom of the water, but don't all of these things like to hide in caves, and why did they all run out?
The magic bait doesn't have the effect of gathering fish right now, so he can't figure out what's going on.
Fortunately, the price of the oil cone is also good, and it can be sold for six or seven cents a catty.
And the dried oil cone is also delicious, compared with dried eel, the dried meat of the oil cone is thicker, and there are fewer fine spines, Zhang Ze liked to eat it very much in his last life.
Fishing and fishing, when it was almost four o'clock, the shouts of Tong Yuanhang suddenly came from the sea.
Zhang Ze looked up and found that he was waving his hand to signal himself to go to the cockpit, as if he had something to say.
He thought that there was something important, and the hooked fish couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly ran into the cabin.
"Aze, come with me, I found a reef with a lot of abalone!"
"How many are there?" Zhang Ze was suddenly full of black lines, he was startled just now, and thought that the warships in Wanwan had called, but he told him abalone?
"A lot, it's all dense at a glance!"
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Zhang Ze was suspicious, and came out first to take back the fishing line and hook that was still in the water.
As for the fish that took the bait, of course, they took the opportunity to run.
Then he stepped into the cockpit again and drove the boat to catch up with Tong Yuanhang's trawler.
Just three or four hundred meters away, Zhang Ze followed him to the vicinity of a partial reef.
This will be the time of low tide, when the reef has already sprung up.
He took a look through the binoculars and really found some abalone that were attached to the reef and didn't have time to hide in the water, but the number was not as exaggerated as Tong Yuanhang said.
But it's not just abalone, but also conch, crab and even lobster, etc., which haven't had time to run and are exposed to broad daylight.
And that's just what you see on the surface, there's definitely more under the surface, and the tide is still receding, and more will be exposed when it comes.
If you catch the sea here, it's no different from picking up money.
Tong Yuanhang is very good, and he came to inform him as soon as he found this treasure and caught up with the sea spot, and it was in vain that Zhang Ze told him the fishing spot of the red-billed eel before.
"Well, I didn't lie to you!"
"Still have a free chat? Hurry up and take a boat to pick it up! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ze immediately lowered the anchor, and then went to take out the pump to pump up the rubber boat.
After the rubber boat was filled, he threw the pump directly, and he couldn't wait to grab all kinds of tools to catch the sea, and rowed the rubber boat close to the reef.
As soon as they got closer, the lobsters and crabs crawling on the edge were immediately frightened and scurryed around.
Especially the lobster, which is covered in water, is quite agile and runs away.
Crabs are no exception, swimming in the water at a speed that doesn't swoop out like a lobster, but it's impossible to catch them with your bare hands.
Zhang Ze found a good landing spot nearby, mainly there is a reef on this side where a rope can be tied, otherwise the rubber boat will be washed away and he will have to swim back to the Duoyu.
To prevent his shoes from getting soaked in the sea, he took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs before climbing onto a wet reef.
Probably every time the tide goes low, he will come out and be exposed to the sun, but this reef is not as slippery as he thought.
However, the reef is uneven and a little painful.
Fortunately, his kidneys are good, and the soles of his feet are not so afraid of pain.
Zhang Ze squatted down, picked up the dagger and inserted it into the gap and pried it down a few times, and an abalone was easily pried off and put into the space.
Abalone, like baby abalone, relies on its well-developed muscles to firmly attach itself to the reef when it is a little windy.
Zhang Ze's knife took advantage of its inattention to insert it, which hindered the possibility of it absorbing the reef, so it was easily pried off.
[Successfully captured an ear abalone, weighing 167 grams, experience +10.] 】
'Damn, so much experience?' Zhang Ze didn't expect that an abalone could have ten experience points, and there were more than a dozen ear abalone on the small reef in front of him, so you can imagine how many there are in this reef area, and it seems that today is destined to be a bumper harvest day.
He didn't know much about Erbao, but he had heard it.
The most abundant abalone in China belongs to the northern coastal area, which is often eaten in daily life.
This kind of abalone is also the largest abalone produced in China, commonly known as nine-hole snail, panda abalone and so on.
The abalone that is abundant in the south is called variegated abalone, and it is distributed all the way to the southernmost coastal areas of Phuoc Province.
As for the ear abalone, it is also produced in the waters near the bay area, including Dongsha.
The shape of this abalone is a little different from ordinary abalone, and its shape is a bit like a human ear, so it is named after the ear abalone.
This abalone will not grow too big, the general length is between five and eight centimeters, like Zhang Ze pryed this is only more than 160 grams, belonging to six abalones, which is very large in the ear abalone.
The statement of a few abalone mainly depends on the weight of the abalone.
If there are a few abalone in a catty, it is called a few abalone. For example, nine abalone per catty are nine abalones, so one abalone and two abalone are so rare and precious.
Next, the abalone that Zhang Ze pried off did not put into the space, but put it into the bucket first.
Abalone can live for several days after being out of the water, even in the sun.
There is no sun today, and Zhang Ze doesn't need to worry about the abalone dying at all.
Tong Yuanhang and several others have already rowed the same rubber boat over, and he is not good at using space to cheat.
"Aze, how is it, there are a lot of abalone here, right?"
"It's really good, I've already pried more than a dozen ear abalone during the time you've been here." Zhang Ze handed them the bucket, "You guys should hurry up, take advantage of the low tide to take advantage of the rare opportunity." ”
"Yes, these abalone are not small! And it does look a bit like an ear, no wonder you call it an ear abalone. Scout, who was close, took the bucket and saw more than a dozen ear abalone in it, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he was going to develop today.
Tong Yuanhang and Tong Junqiang stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly brought the rubber boat to the shore and came up to pry the abalone.
The four of them scattered, each with a bucket to pry up the abalone, and there were conspicuous conches and crabs and lobsters that didn't have time to run.
Except for crabs hiding in rock crevices, lobsters are actually not that easy to catch, and there are not many of them.
In addition to running into the puddle, the rest of the lobsters will basically crawl back to the sea.
Crabs are easy to catch because they hide in a little crevice, thinking it's safe inside.
As for the abalone, either wait to die or go into their buckets.
Zhang Ze and the others took their respective tools and pried one by one, and the bucket was still clanging at first, but soon lost this sound and became the sound of shells colliding with shells.
At this time, a small crawling green dragon caught his attention.
Zhang Ze was just about to go over to catch it, but the alarmed little green dragon jumped into the puddle next to him with a plop.
The puddle wasn't too big, but it was big enough for one person to lie down in and take a bath.
The depth seems to be a bit deep, and it is not easy for Zhang Ze to reach in and grab it.
He turned his head and saw Tong Yuanhang holding a copy net in a puddle of water, and immediately walked over.
"Brother-in-law, I borrowed the net for use, and a lobster ran into a puddle."
"Don't worry, I'll find out if there's anything in this puddle first." Tong Yuanhang continued to copy back and forth, but there was not even a small fry.
Zhang Ze directly took away his copy net: "Okay, okay, hurry up and pry your abalone, why are you so energetic even if you don't even have fish fry!" ”
"Who said no, I just heard a noise!" Tong Yuanhang muttered, but the net was taken away and he gave up the puddle.
Zhang Ze returned to the puddle and fished into the puddle twice before he caught the little green dragon.
But it wasn't just lobsters that caught two catches, he also found a white, suspiciously speckled fish in the muddy puddle, probably a precious species he had always wanted to catch but had never caught.
didn't expect such good luck, he put the little green dragon into the bucket, took the net and continued to fish.
This time I didn't catch it so fiercely, I was afraid of hurting the fish, and I was afraid of stirring the fish around.
So he slowly pushed it along a straight line with the net, and if there was no first hit, he continued in a different direction.
This time, a fish that was being chased appeared in front of the net, and it was the one he saw.
White with spots, a mouth shaped like a mouse, and a little hunched back, this is a rat spot.
Seeing him, Zhang Ze felt a touch of excitement in his heart, this is the dream fish species of the fishing guy!
His hand suddenly quickened, and he caught the unsuspecting rat spot in one fell swoop.
"Haha, look what I caught!"
"Damn, Rat Spot!" Tong Yuanhang, who was close, immediately burst out of a foul language after seeing the fish in the net.
"Rat spots here?" Tong Guoqi, who was concentrating on prying abalone, stood up and turned his head to look over, and saw the little mouse spot struggling in the net, and also showed a look of envy.
"Aze is lucky! Our fishing boat dragged the nets for an afternoon, and they were all up three times, and there were a few east star spots, and there was not a single mouse spot. ”
"Not a single one?" Zhang Ze was also stunned, and he didn't catch even a single mouse spot in the way of trawling and plowing, which means that there are probably not many mouse spots in this water.
These fish are scarce, but they are not so rare as they were exaggerated in later generations.
As long as you find the right fishing spot, you might be able to catch several in one night.
Tong Yuanhang nodded: "That's not all, it's not that there is no one, anyway, how many pounds can be sold for mouse spots, I don't seem to see the price at the aquatic station." ”
"A pound can be sold for about ten yuan, which is quite valuable." Zhang Ze knew a lot of fish prices from Jin Guangcheng.
Of course, this is the purchase price, and if he sells it himself, the price will naturally be higher.
"Ten dollars a pound, that's a lot!" Tong Yuanhang was amazed.
Even if they can earn two or three hundred every time they go to sea, excluding the cost, and the savings per person once again come to the level of several thousand or even close to 10,000 yuan, they still can't ignore ten yuan, because there are too many things that can be bought for ten yuan.
"Sell a P, take it back to your sister to eat!" Zhang Ze was very happy to catch the mouse spot, but it was only a pound, and he wanted to take it home and taste it for himself.
This is the fish he was reluctant to eat in his previous life!
Of course, Zhang Ze refers to the wild ones, not the farmed ones.
Although farmed rat spots are also expensive, they are not comparable to wild ones at all.
Hearing that he was eating for his sister, Tong Yuanhang smiled, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth.
Of course he knew how good Zhang Ze was to his sister, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to pay for such an expensive fish.
Several people continued to be busy, Zhang Ze pretended to put the mouse spots in the bucket, but actually took the opportunity to take a look at the space.
[Successfully captured a humpback perch, weighing 1.56 catties, experience +35.] 】
Very high experience value, if the king of fish can have three thousand five experience points, the king of the mouse spotted fish is basically more than ten catties, you can pay more attention to it in the future.
After reading it, he also continued to pry up the abalone, estimating that the tide was about to rise at dinner, and there was not much time.
There are so many abalone here that even if they try to pry hard, they can pry a small area.
It can be said that in the next period of time, they can all come to catch the sea.
I just don't know if these abalone will run up like this every time, if they concentrate at the bottom of the reef, then they won't be so easy to pry, and they have to dive.
When the time came to early six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Ze looked at the buckets that were full again, and the tide that was gradually beginning to rise, so he asked Shangtong Yuanhang and a few people to go back first, otherwise they might encounter danger when the tide was high.
When he returned to the boat, he put all the abalone into the space and obtained a series of experience points, and at the same time, he also knew how many abalone he had pried in the afternoon, a total of seventy-five catties and six taels.
However, the price of abalone is different depending on the size, so it will be a bit troublesome to calculate the actual price, not to mention that Zhang Ze doesn't know the specific price of abalone.
Because this thing is produced in the sea near Wanwan, it is basically not seen in the Nanguang market.
But because of this, the price of ear abalone may be quite high because of the scarcity here.
After looking at the abalone, he continued to look at the number of other fish caught in the afternoon. There are already twenty-three oil cones in the space, of different sizes, and the smallest one is more than three and a half catties.
Then he looked at his general harvest in the afternoon, and the total weight of the baogong fish came to two hundred and thirty-seven catties, and the number was one hundred and thirty-two.
The yellow-winged big black sea bream has also increased a little, and the total weight has reached more than 180 catties.
Because of the bottom fishing behind, there are a lot fewer fish caught above, but there are all kinds of groupers, red friends, parrotfish and so on.
It's a pity that Napoleon wrasse, Tsing Yi and valuable groupers have not been caught for the time being.
Even if he is reborn back in this era, the number of these fish is still not as many as he imagined!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Ze put away the fishing rod and went to prepare dinner.
After dinner, he did not rest, but came out first to put the shrimp pot down.
There are so many fish on the bottom of the water, and it is estimated that there are also a lot of lobsters.
Then he drove a boat to find a sandy area nearby, and put the ground cage down, where the resources are good, there should be a lot of pike crabs.
As for the crab pots that are still being made, they can be placed in the coral area or reef area in the future.
He also asked the village blacksmith to help make ten deep-sea crab pots, made of stainless steel. This kind of crab pot is quite large, at least one hundred and fifty pounds or more.
He can put down the boat, and secondly, he has good strength, and the empty crab pot can be moved.
Ten crab pots usually don't catch much, but he's a little greedy for deep-sea resources, so give it a try.
