The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded - Chapter 312
Chapter 312 My tender ancestor
The next day, after Chu Mingcheng was ready, he set sail.
Because Jiang Luoluo was at home, he didn’t bring his pets with him.
But his first destination after going out to sea was Crescent Island, to see how the sea lions are doing now.
Of course, the white jade clam should be taken back, and you can also get some spot prawns and rich prawns for yourself.
Many customers in Chuming City ordered some grouper, and they just happened to go to the coral reef to catch some.
So he will stay on the Crescent Island for one night, and then go to the northeast of Treasure Island the next day, near the Yaeyama Islands.
This archipelago is a transit station on the eastern route of the Maritime Silk Road, and he was curious if he would find anything in the water.
Real treasure hunters will study historical documents, unofficial history, etc., to find out the approximate location of the sunken ship.
Basically, when you have a certain degree of confidence, you will go to the destination to investigate and search.
For someone like Chu Mingcheng who intends to wander around the bottom of the sea casually, it is pure luck to find it.
In fact, he has also started to study these, but the time is still short, and the customer suddenly wants to buy fish, so he can only go to sea to investigate the environmental route first.
At the beginning of noon, the Poseidon stopped at the Crescent Island, honked the horn as usual, and went to the stern to open the small door, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
There was no big fish or meat at noon, so he simply cooked a pot of tomato and egg noodles.
Holding the pot directly to finish eating, Chu Mingcheng looked at the scorching sun outside.
The weather was fine today, and it was really not suitable for work at noon, so he packed up and went to sleep first.
By the time I got enough energy to come out, the sun had already set in the west, and the time came to more than four o’clock in the afternoon.
Go to the living room and deck to check, there is no trace of sea lions.
Chu Mingcheng frowned. Could it be that he ran to the north because the weather was too hot?
It is not impossible. He had expected that the sea lions would leave here to find a more suitable habitat, and he was mentally prepared for this.
Then he put the matter behind him, and sailed the boat to drop all the shrimp pots.
Then, he turned off the engine and stopped the boat, put on a diving suit, put on a headlamp, and went into the water with a digging shovel in his hand.
The environment on the Crescent Island did not change. He swam from the beach to the coral reef on the back, and quickly found the coral cave.
The inside of Shanshan Cave was still pitch black, Chu Mingcheng did not enter rashly like the first time, but took a look inside with a headlamp.
After confirming that there was no danger, he swam in.
There are many coral fish and even a few groupers in the coral cave.
But he didn’t bring a speargun and it was hard to catch, so he could only turn a blind eye.
The white jade clam is still in its original position, but today there is no sea snake inside the shell.
There are two small fish hiding inside, because he didn’t even want to go home and ran away immediately when he appeared.
Just when he was about to start with a small shovel, a big snail suddenly appeared in the aquatic plants not far away.
This snail swims backwards, its speed is not fast but it is very large. The diameter of the shell alone reaches more than 30 centimeters.
Its head has many short tentacles and a big eye, which looks a bit like a squid at first glance.
Chu Mingcheng was a little confused, how could there be a nautilus in this place?
I heard that the nautilus tastes very good, but as a first-class protected animal, he has no idea about this nautilus in domestic waters.
Splendid lobsters are actually quite a lot, and he often encounters them, so he ate one at that time.
But the nautilus is a real living fossil, and it is not easy to live to this day.
In order to avoid being artificially extinct, it must be protected.
However, the number of nautilus is quite considerable, so the number in China is not very large.
It is also protected because it has lived long enough, and shells have great collection value.
If they are encountered in foreign countries or on the high seas without protection, Chu Mingcheng will naturally not let them go, maybe there is a chance to encounter them on the route they passed this time.
It’s a pity that even the shell of a nautilus cannot be brought into China, so he can’t mess around.
Withdrawing his attention, Chu Mingcheng began to dig up the white jade clam in front of him, which was something he could hold and touch.
With his strength and the time he held his breath in the water, it was not difficult to dig a giant clam. It only took seven or eight minutes to dig out the white jade giant clam intact.
Put away the small shovel, he picked up the giant clam and swam out of the coral cave.
Now Nautilus doesn’t know where to hide, otherwise he really wants to catch it back together and take a few photos, and then release it.
Going back to the boat without incident, Chu Mingcheng put the giant clam on the deck, and after letting go of his hand, he found that the palm of his hand was either mud or seaweed. Clearly, the giant clam needed to be cleaned.
After washing his hands, he took out a brush from the tool room, went back to the deck and pulled out a water pipe from the side of the ship, and then brushed the clam while washing it.
A large amount of silt fell off, revealing the white giant clam shells.
Chu Mingcheng was a little stunned. He originally thought that the jaded clam was only internally jaded, but he didn’t expect the whole thing to be jaded.
It’s just that the outside part looks very rough, far less smooth and translucent than the inside.
After Chu Mingcheng finished brushing, I found that this huge giant clam with a width of 80 centimeters is quite beautiful.
Even if it is not engraved, it is a very good collection simply by displaying it.
Clams freshly caught are the easiest to clean. After the water on them dries, if there are residual sea mud and other things, it will be very troublesome to clean up at that time, and it may even leave marks on the clams.
So after Chu Mingcheng finished brushing with a big brush, he took a toothbrush and brushed those corners while flushing the water.
This kind of delicate work took a lot of time, and he didn’t clean the white jade clam until it got dark.
The giant clam shells were wet, so Chu Mingcheng simply lifted them up and placed them next to the ambergris box, and took them to the cabin for storage after they dried.
After work, go back to the kitchen to make dinner.
After filling his stomach, Chu Mingcheng did not rest at night.
After a little digestion, he brought a spear gun this time, ready to go into the water to catch some grouper.
It was just that when he entered the water, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of Mouse Ban.
Mouse Spot is currently bound by a plug-in, you can find and open the map.
The ecology of this coral reef is excellent, maybe it really exists.
So he turned on the map to see if there were any rat spots here.
As expected, marks appeared on it.
And the coral reef next to him really has mouse spots, and there are not one, but seven.
The mouse spots displayed also have a weight requirement, and the mouse spots below two catties will not be displayed on the map.
Seven mouse spots, Chu Mingcheng felt that maybe he should catch fish in a different way tonight.
Put on cut-resistant gloves, then take out a fishing line that can catch up to 30 catties of fish, and bring a few hooks of different sizes and bait for fishing.
After getting ready, Chu Mingcheng still put on his spear gun and went into the water.
Catch the fish that can be caught, and solve the fish that are not easy to catch with one shot.
Going back into the water and turning on the headlight, the scene in front of him immediately appeared in his sight. Chu Mingcheng hung up the bait, and then came all the way to the coral reef.
Zooming in on the map of the mouse spot, he first swam to the nearest mouse spot.
It only took him two minutes to find the mouse spot that was swimming slowly on the coral reef and looking down for food from time to time.
This mouse has small spots and only looks like two or three catties.
Considering that Mouse Ban has entered the stage of rapid reproduction and growth due to being bound, he does not intend to let this two-three-pound cat go.
Coming to the top of the mouse spot, Chu Mingcheng put down the bait in his hand little by little,
Soon, the hook bait came near the mouse spot.
The fish meat cut into small pieces exudes a slight **** smell, and it didn’t take long to attract the attention of this mouse spot.
Mouse Ban has no defense at all, or the grouper is more ferocious and eats deeply.
It came to the side of the fish, and its small mouth, which was slightly bent upwards, opened in vain, and instantly turned into a **** mouth, swallowing the fish in one gulp.
The next moment, the sharp fishhook plunged deeply into its mouth.
Chu Mingcheng felt the power coming from his hand, without hesitation, he grabbed the fishing line with his right hand and yanked it hard.
Then he flipped his wrist and pulled the fishing line back, and the fish got closer and closer to him.
After a short while, a beautiful mouse spot appeared in front of him.
Chu Mingcheng caught Mouse Ban, took out the hook, and locked it with a live fish buckle.
The live fish buckle can hang dead, and it can also lock the live fish to keep the fish alive.
Easy to get a mouse spot, even knowing the power of the map search function, he still has a little sigh in his heart.
As long as he wants, he can change the bound species at any time, and it will be really easy to catch rare fish in the future.
However, this will also lead to no surprises and fun. Chu Mingcheng is making money very fast now, so he will not do this.
Mouse Ban had already been bound, so he took advantage of the opportunity to use the search function.
Then, he looked at the position of the second mouse spot, and just about to swim over, a blunt-headed parrotfish appeared in his sight, which was the little green-nosed parrotfish.
Chu Mingcheng has often caught this kind of fish before, but tonight he didn’t want to attack these parrotfish, but this blunt-headed parrotfish was too arrogant to swim slowly past his eyes.
The closest distance even reached three meters, and it seemed that he was not afraid of his existence at all.
If you are so desperate, then help it.
The price difference between fresh parrotfish and live fish is not much different. Chu Mingcheng simply raised his spear gun to aim, and the fish arrow shot out with a “swish~”, successfully killing half of its life.
Then he pulled the fish back, took out the bloodletting dagger to help the fish release its weight, and took its remaining half life by the way.
“You’re welcome!”
Chu Mingcheng hung the **** blunthead parrotfish on the live fish buckle, and said something silently in his heart.
He is so passionate about helping fish.
Next, according to the marks on the map, he successfully found the remaining six mouse spots.
Without exception, all of them were included in the bag, and the largest one weighed more than ten catties.
The value of the seven mouse spots is about 25,000. He feels that there is a high probability that Wei Jiaguo will buy them all to fill his new fish tank.
After the mouse ban was caught, Chu Mingcheng returned to the boat first, and put all the fish into the living water tank with oxygen to raise them.
Then continue to go to the coral reef to catch other fish.
After a busy night, the other two living water tanks also started working quickly, with various groupers, parrotfish and snappers in them.
As for some passing mackerel, barracuda, and red friends, they all became the souls of Chu Mingcheng’s guns and were sent to the refrigerated cabin.
He also picked up seven scallops that were bigger than the palm of his hand. It will be eleven o’clock at night, and he is just hungry and can grill scallops for supper.
First, I made some vermicelli and soaked it in water.
Then take out the carbon stove and burn the carbon.
A large bottle of secret garlic sauce that tastes even better than baked slippers was brought out and placed next to it, and the scallops were finally processed.
Brush it clean first, and then open it all with a knife.
Scallops are theoretically edible, but Chu Mingcheng had just caught them and didn’t soak them in water to spit out sand, so he took out all the internal organs of the scallops and cleaned them.
After cleaning, he placed the scallops on the charcoal stove, but unfortunately the charcoal stove was a bit small and the scallops were too big, so he could put up to four scallops at a time, so he could only bake them twice.
Put the soaked vermicelli on, and then a large spoonful of garlic sauce. After just a short while, the strong aroma spreads throughout the deck.
Chu Mingcheng showed a malicious smile on his face, took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and sent it to the group.
This group only has Chen Yang, Zhang Wei, and their respective women. It was just created during the dinner last night.
No, Zhang Wei immediately replied as soon as the photo was sent out.
“Damn, you don’t talk about martial arts, you just poisoned me when I was going to sleep?”
Chu Mingcheng is not surprised that Zhang Wei is not in Bai Jing’s broad mind.
They are in a formal relationship, of course they have to go step by step.
Although Bai Jing agreed to be his girlfriend in a short period of time, it doesn’t mean she is very open.
However, she still understood that husbands and wives follow suit, and the information immediately appeared behind Zhang Wei.
“That’s right, Luo Luo, your man eats alone at sea, can you bear it?”
Because Chu Mingcheng was not at home, Jiang Luoluo also resumed her working status when she was single. She also just finished dancing.
Originally planned to take a shower and lie on the bed talking on the phone, but now she changed her mind.
“Then sisters, should we go out for supper together? I’ll treat you!”
Zhang Youning, who was texting with Chen Yang, saw this message, and immediately put her boyfriend aside, and then replied in the group: “Okay, okay, where to eat?”
Bai Jing: “Although I am afraid of gaining weight, but Luo Luo offered to make an appointment, then I will definitely go.”
Zhang Wei: “Add me too!”
Chen Yang: “And me, Ah Cheng is too much!”
Bai Jing: “What are you men doing at our women’s party?”
Zhang Youning: “That’s right, follow along, it’s not easy for us women to chat.”
Seeing this scene, Chu Mingcheng almost burst out laughing.
Not only suffered from his poison, but also had to be rejected by his own woman.
In the end, Jiang Luoluo gave them face: “It will be very dangerous for us three beauties to go out without two flower protectors around us!”
“If this is not the case, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei should take it with them. At worst, let them go to the table next to us to eat.”
Chu Mingcheng: “Daughter-in-law, well done!”
Chen Yang, Zhang Wei: “.”
The general restaurants are probably closed this evening, and only the roadside stalls are still open.
Some men will become fat after drinking some horse urine, and they can do anything after getting on top.
Even if Jiang Luoluo didn’t say anything, he would let Chen Yang and Zhang Wei go with him.
Of course, Bai Jing and Zhang Youning were also joking.
When the four scallops in Chu Mingcheng were finished roasting and were about to continue roasting the remaining three, they also started posting photos in the group and poisoning them, as if they wanted to take revenge on him.
But there is one thing to say, the garlic sauce tastes good, and the scallops with vermicelli are absolutely superb, and the food pictures posted in the group really don’t affect him.
It’s just that Zhang Wei is a little bit of a drifter. When the mutton skewers are served, he will ask him, do you have any?
When the grilled lamb chops came up, I asked again.
After each dish was served, he asked a question, which directly annoyed Chu Mingcheng.
He simply made a video call, and when he connected, he smiled and picked up a lively mouse spot.
“Did you see it, Mouse Ban, wild ones weighing more than three catties.”
Then he found a bracket, fixed the phone beside him, and played the footage of himself killing the mouse spot.
“This kind of mouse spot, which is at least 500 yuan a catty, is used to make grilled fish, Awei, you must have never eaten it?”
“Ah, that’s not right, your boy, Mouse Ban, has never caught a fish, has he? How could he have eaten it?”
“I still have six mouse spots here. If you call me brother, I will.”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Wei called out directly and kindly: “Brother, you are my brother, okay! If you call me, I will give you a mouse spot. Of course I agree to such a good thing!”
Chu Mingcheng chuckled: “You think too much. If you call me brother, I will stutter for you!”
“Damn, Ah Cheng, my tender father!” Seeing that he was being tricked, Zhang Wei immediately raised his **** to the screen.
Chu Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, and immediately replied: “My tender ancestor!”
“Ha ha ha ha.”
Chu Mingcheng’s extremely fast counterattack speed and Zhang Wei’s deflated and speechless appearance immediately made several other people laugh.
Then he chatted with a few people while he was busy, and the video call didn’t hang up until he roasted a whole strip of mouse.
However, Chu Mingcheng didn’t eat the grilled fish after cooking. Instead, he wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the kitchen. He will eat it tomorrow.
The next day, Chu Mingcheng got up, ate two breads and drank a glass of milk, then set sail to collect the shrimp pots.
He was a little surprised when the first shrimp pot was pulled up, the weight was incredible!
Sure enough, when the shrimp pot was completely pulled out of the water, there was almost no room for the struggling and bouncing prawns and tiger prawns, too many.
A shrimp cage is directly full of three-quarters, and the shrimp caught is estimated to reach sixty to seventy catties.
This is normal in a farm, but it is a bit exaggerated in the sea.
It shows that with the influence of the aquatic illustrated book, the aquatic biological resources here are increasing at an extremely fast speed.
The only troublesome thing is that the size of the tiger prawns caught in the shrimp cage and the rich prawns are different, so you need to choose it yourself.
Chu Mingcheng didn’t pick them carefully, he roughly threw the small ones back into the sea, and then poured them into the running water tank.
All the fish he caught yesterday were collected in one live water tank. Fortunately, the live water tank was big enough and it didn’t seem too crowded.
The tiger prawns and the rich prawns are placed in a live water tank, separated by a partition, each occupying half of the space.
The harvest of the next four shrimp pots was similar to the first one. The number of Fugui shrimp was good. After picking out the small ones and throwing them back, the remaining ones over 20 centimeters were about 40 catties, more than a hundred.
Half of the living water tank can be put down completely, and there is still enough space for activities.
Fugui Shrimp is not as fierce as Aunt Banqin Shrimp, and basically they are all in peace.
However, there are too many tiger prawns, which cannot fit in half of the live water tank, so they can only be put in the third live water tank.
I roughly picked some small ones, but I don’t know how much more troublesome it is to pick them up than rich shrimps, so there are still many small ones in the living water tank, and the total weight of the combined size should be about two hundred catties.
Chu Mingcheng didn’t bother to care about these small ones anymore, the small ones could just be used as live shrimp bait.
After finishing his work, he opened the sunshade to block the sunlight for the living water cabin, then he returned to the cab, set the route and set sail.
Chu Mingcheng intends to come to the southeast of Treasure Island first, and then go all the way north.
During the period, if you find any resources, you will harvest a wave, and finally stay in the Yaeyama Islands for two days, and then go to Wenzhou to sell seafood.
Judging from the route, he will make a big circle this time.
But it is obviously meaningful. The eastern part of Baodao is an undeveloped place for him. He doesn’t know any new seafood here, so he naturally wants to come and have a look.
After sailing for more than five hours, the Poseidon came to the southern tuna fishing spot on Baodao.
Chu Mingcheng temporarily stopped the boat and went to the kitchen to eat.
A pot of cooked rice with grilled fish is really delicious, or the taste of mouse spots is particularly delicious.
He directly finished a large pot of grilled fish and side dishes, and a small half pot of rice, becoming a veritable rice bucket.
Of course, he can eat it because his physical fitness has increased and his metabolism has accelerated.
And this situation will become more obvious as his physical fitness strengthens.
After lunch, Chu Mingcheng walked around the cabin to digest.
Thinking that this is a tuna fishing spot, and there are many bluefin tunas, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Wei Jiaguo, asking if he wanted bluefin tuna or bigeye tuna.
After the message was sent, he thought about it and sent another one in the group.
After a short while, Wei Jiaguo replied, he wanted a bluefin tuna, there is no upper limit on the weight, the bigger the better.
For this rich grandpa, Chu Mingcheng naturally knew that he could afford it, so he immediately said that he had a very good bluefin tuna here, and he would send it to him when the time came.
After a short meeting, several people in the group replied, asking for five bigeye tuna and three bluefin tuna in total.
There is also no requirement for the weight of tuna, which means the bigger the better.
Not all the restaurant owners asked for tuna. Among them was a customer who was engaged in other businesses. He also sent a private message later, saying that bluefin tuna should be between 200 and 300 catties.
He wants to entertain a very good friend. The fish is too small and not suitable, and the fish is too big and it is unnecessary to finish it.
It will add up to nine tunas, which is not an easy task.
Chuming City is a bit far away this time, and they don’t plan to spend too much time at sea, so they can only use fishing and hunting with a relatively fast hunting speed.
Besides, customers have some requirements on the weight of tuna, so fishing and hunting is obviously more convenient.
Chu Mingcheng didn’t plan to take a lunch break today. He opened the maps of two kinds of tuna and looked at them, and found that there were two bluefin tuna very close to him.
Zoom in on the map and see that these two fish are basically only moving in a small area in situ, so I knew they should be looking for food in the deep sea, so I immediately sailed there.
It took seven or eight minutes, and the Poseidon came to a water area 223 meters deep.
The fish finder shows that there are two big fish at the bottom of the water at the moment, which are obviously the two bluefin tuna seen on the map.
