Chapter 229: Ao Long

The next time I encounter this kind of thing, I feel that it is better to solve it privately, and don't pull the official in, I feel uncomfortable.

A week later, Zhang Yaohua's fleet appeared on the high seas.

This is the eastern shore of the Indian Ocean and the northwest of Australia.

The average depth of the Indian Ocean is second only to the Pacific Ocean.

In addition to the mid-ocean ridge in the middle of the ocean floor, there are also eastern Indian Ocean ridges, island arcs, and trench belts, and many ocean basins are distributed between ridges, mounds, and sea platforms.

As soon as Zhang Yaohua and the others arrived, they saw the wonders of a huge ocean whirlpool.

"There's not going to be a sea eye down there, is there?" Some people look at the whirlpool and feel furious.

For those who often work with the ocean, the ocean whirlpool is not unseen, but it has never been seen that big.

Zhang Yaohua said to them: "Don't scare yourself, there are no sea eyes." This kind of whirlpool, usually caused by ocean currents, is not as scary as you think. ”

Ocean whirlpools are a fluid rotation phenomenon commonly found in the ocean.

They usually appear in an irregular circular or elliptical shape, like a hydraulic "funnel", and as they flow through a confined space, the decrease in flow velocity causes the water to concentrate into circular and oval-shaped vortex-shaped structures.

It is said that ocean whirlpools occur through a complex number of internal and external marine factors.

For example, abnormal ocean currents at the bottom of the ocean, temperature and salinity disturbances caused by convection between warm and cold currents after land-based pollution flows to the estuary area can lead to the formation of ocean whirlpools.

The ocean whirlpool in front of you looks a bit large, but the power is actually not powerful, and it has no impact on the navigation of fishing boats, so you can easily break through.

"Boss, very few people come to the Indian Ocean to fish." The captain said to Zhang Yaohua.

The annual catch in the Indian Ocean is about 5 million tons, which is much less than that of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

Among them, the coastal waters of the Indian peninsula are the most fished, with mackerel, sardines and flounder, while tuna, flying fish and sea turtles are caught off the south coast of Africa.

"It's right that few people come, but if many people come, what else will we do?"

Before Zhang Yaohua could speak, the other crew members preemptively spoke.

The captain snorted twice.

"You know what? The Indian Ocean is far less abundant than the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and many distant-water fishing vessels prefer to sail to the Southern Ocean. ”

At least there is an abundance of krill in the Antarctic Ocean.

Krill is the world's most untapped biological resources, its reserves are generally estimated at 1.5~1 billion tons, the highest estimate is 5 billion tons, and the annual catch can reach 1~150 million tons.

It is precisely in this way that the Southern Ocean is known as the breadbasket of the future of mankind.

In the Indian Ocean, there doesn't seem to be any particularly famous seafood.

"Isn't this close to Australia? You can catch the dragon. The ship's crew retorted to him.

The captain knew better than they did.

"Ausaurus is rarely found here, mostly between northern New South Wales, southern Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia, you know?"

Zhang Yaohua smiled but did not speak.

He came to this sea area this time for Aolong and other specialties.

Compared with other lobsters, the whole body of the dragon is fiery red, the claws are golden yellow, it looks extraordinarily fat and strong, and the meat is delicate, crisp and elastic, and is regarded as the representative of top seafood around the world.

Ah Zhe's people shrugged: "We don't need to understand, follow Brother Hua, what seafood can't be caught?" ”

Belch!

This time it was the captain's turn to be speechless.

He has been working on Zhang Yaohua's ship for more than two or three months, but he really can't understand this boss. Sometimes it feels magical, can people's luck really be that good?

"Cast a net in front and test the water." Zhang Yaohua spoke at this time.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd immediately took action and stopped bragging.

In fact, the traditional way of catching lobsters, which is similar to crab fishing, is to put bait in a cage, and lobsters that are too small can escape from the opening of the cage.

But Zhang Yaohua has the assistance of the golden finger, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome at all, just cast the net directly.

The fishing boat dragged on for a while, and Zhang Yaohua let the net be collected.

If it were any other fisherman, it would have been thought that it was a neurosis. It's only been delayed for a while, what can it be? It's just a fishing net getting wet.

However, the people on board did not hesitate to execute.

On the one hand, because Zhang Yaohua is the boss, what's wrong with listening to the boss? Even if they don't get anything, the only thing they lose is the boss, what do they care?

On the other hand, it is out of everyone's trust in Zhang Yaohua.

The traditional set of fishing methods, in front of Brother Hua, is not used at all, and there is no need to abide by it.

"It's coming, it's coming."

The nets were quickly dragged out of the sea, and the captain's eyes widened.

"! So many big lobsters, it's gone! Ah Zhe and the others screamed.

When the nets are dragged onto the boat and the nets are untied, a large number of lobsters are poured onto the deck of the fishing boat.

"What are you doing? Sort quickly, according to the standard! Zhang Yaohua told them.

Normally, all live lobsters are re-graded on board, and the grading is mainly divided into ABCDEFGH8 grades based on the size of the lobster.

A is the smallest, H is the largest.

Those below one pound belong to grade A, and those in grade H are more than 1,800 grams.

The grades are not the same, and the prices are also very different.

Take Zhang Yaohua's fishing boat as an example, this net is enough for tens of thousands of catties of lobsters.

"How much is a pound of Aolong now?" Someone asked while sorting.

"Around 280."

"Look at what's going on! There are also about two hundred, a little smaller. H goods are expensive, and there are four or five hundred and one catties. "People who are familiar with the market tell everyone.

"It's so big, I haven't eaten an audragon yet."

Although they grew up by the sea, it is not that they have never eaten lobsters, but Aolong is an imported product, how can they have a chance to eat it?

"It's about the same as other lobsters!"

Zhang Yaohua: "Don't you know if you eat later?" ”

He won't be reluctant to give it to everyone because it's expensive.

Zhang Yaohua has eaten Aolong, the taste is sweet and rich, low oily, juicy, moderately firm meat, the meat is translucent, white with orange traces after cooking, and the leg meat will be slightly sweeter than the tail.

Ah Hui sent a message.

"Brother Hui said that when I went back, I wanted to leave some Aolong for the table."

People who don't know why also ask, "What kind of table?" ”

Zhang Yaohua glanced at him: "What else can you set up?" When you go back, your brother Hui is ready to get married. ”

It is estimated that he thinks that Aolong's table is a bit of a row, so Ah Hui deliberately told Zhang Yaohua in advance to reserve it when he goes back.

Don't think that Aolong will be used in high-end hotels in big cities, in some rural banquets, Aolong has quietly become one of the necessary ingredients, and even some rural banquets must be designated to use more than 5 catties of Aolong.

"Stay, stay, what's the matter? Brother Hua ......"

The young man next to him urged: "Don't talk nonsense, work quickly." ”
