The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded - Chapter 323

Chapter 323 Underwater Cave

A lunch ended with criticism from three women.

The appearance of the king’s full-footed insect aroused their most instinctive resistance. In their words, even if this thing was better than lobster, they would not eat it.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng took screenshots of these similar messages and saved them, so that he could slap his face when he went back.

As men, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei have a high degree of acceptance of this, and both expressed their desire to try it.

After lunch, Chu Mingcheng continued to drive the Poseidon to the open sea.

For the remaining grouper deep-sea fish, it is better to go to the open sea to catch even if the longline is used.

There are many resources, and it will not delay him to find the sunken ship.

At around five o’clock in the afternoon, the Poseidon came to the shipwreck area of ​​the medium-sized cruise ship.

But Chu Mingcheng is not sure if he can find it.

However, he was not in a hurry to find the sunken ship at this moment. Instead, he drove the boat to a small island discovered with a telescope, and found a good position to put down all five longlines.

It is very suitable to explore the sunken ship at night, but if you are looking for it, it is better to find it in the sun during the day.

Now that the sun is almost setting, Chu Mingcheng certainly has no intention of looking for the sunken ship immediately.

With the longlines in place, he went to the foredeck to tuck up the fins.

Making shark fins is actually very troublesome. These completely dried fish fins are now placed in water at 60 degrees Celsius by Chu Mingcheng and need to be scalded until soft.

This will take some time, so he chooses to prepare dinner.

After eating, he came out and touched the fins, and found that the fins became soft again, so he took them out and put them in cold water.

Then he got a knife and started scraping the hard scales and skin from the base of the fin to the tip.

After scraping, continue to soak the peeled fish fins in cold water. This time, they need to soak for four hours, and then they need to be deboned.

So he simply took the electric winch and went to the stern to fish.

The electric winch was working automatically. Chu Mingcheng, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at the sky full of stars, and sighed in his heart.

Such scenery can no longer be seen in the city!

At this time, the fishing rod suddenly moved, and Chu Mingcheng couldn’t care less about sighing and quickly got up and pressed the button to retrieve the fishing line.

The fishing line was reeled very quickly, and after a short while, an Ise lobster with its teeth and claws was caught.

“I’m going~”

Seeing the big lobster he caught, Chu Mingcheng couldn’t care less about being surprised, he quickly grabbed the fishing line and lifted it up.

Fiery red color, at first glance I thought it was Aolong.

Ise Lobster’s name, Chu Mingcheng, has naturally been heard, but those who know it probably think that this lobster comes from Xiaotian.

But in fact, there are treasure island straits and the South my country Sea, but he has never encountered them before.

This Ise lobster is about 30 centimeters long, which is relatively large among Ise lobsters.

I want to show off a bit!

Chu Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, afraid that he might not be able to catch the second one this time, so he went to get a fish box first, turned on the oxygen pump and put the lobster in it.

I’d better endure it first, and bring my daughter-in-law to show off together.

Now that he has obtained a certificate from Jiang Luoluo, the phrase “daughter-in-law” is justified.

In addition, the living water tank can clear up a little space to raise lobsters, but there is only one at present, and he doesn’t want to be so troublesome.

Then he continued to fish, but after catching two groupers, he caught a slightly smaller Ise lobster. Chu Mingcheng’s eyes lit up. Is there a lobster nest here?

Crab pots are not very suitable for catching lobsters, so he didn’t put crab pots. But the speed of catching lobsters was relatively slow, so he simply changed into a diving suit.

It is not convenient to find shipwrecks at night, but catching lobsters is very suitable.

Since he knew how to dive, he found that apart from all kinds of conch shells that don’t move very much, the silly lobsters and crabs are relatively easy to catch.

With two large net bags hanging on his body, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water decisively.

Turning on the headlights, he swam straight down to the bottom of the water.

It was almost dark when we came here in the evening. Chu Mingcheng really didn’t know that there was a coral reef at the bottom of the water.

Then it is not surprising that there are a lot of lobsters here. Basically, small boats will not come here, and large trawlers will not come to the small island to fish.

Therefore, the location of Chuming City is very rich in resources.

As soon as he came to the bottom of the water, he saw all kinds of fish, some of which he had never caught before, and even a small part he didn’t know.

Chu Mingcheng knows domestic fish, but it doesn’t mean he knows all foreign fish.

The resources are so good, it seems that there will be a big harvest when the longline is collected.

However, he is more interested in lobsters at this meeting. Ise lobsters are rare in China, and the price should be around three hundred and one catties, which is about the same size as Aolong.

It’s just that Aolong can grow bigger, and the price will naturally increase with its size.

When he came to the bottom of the water, Chu Mingcheng laughed when he saw the long beards growing out from under the coral. Unexpectedly, he found a group of lobsters as soon as he came.

He only encountered this kind of situation in Xisha and abroad.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t waste any time, and immediately reached out to touch it after passing by.

“squeak”

The lobsters were frightened and made their unique sounds, which could still be heard clearly even in the water.

Next to it, one or two lobsters jumped out from under the coral and fled to the distance.

But more are still inside, just moved to the side, which is why Chu Mingcheng dared to reach out and grab them.

With more than a year of professional career, he has a good understanding of the habits of most marine organisms.

When Xisha met the hairy lobster, he was afraid that he could only catch one or two, and the other lobsters would all run away.

Finally, I choose to use bait to fish, and it takes a lot of time to catch them all.

At that time, he was new to this industry, so he really didn’t know much about the habits of lobsters.

But now it is different, in order to save time, Chu Mingcheng is not afraid of the lobster running away at all.

He caught very quickly, and it only took a few minutes to catch five Ise lobsters of good size.

As for the others, of course they ran away, almost half of them were caught and half of them ran away.

Although he ran a lot, the efficiency was much faster than fishing. Then he continued to look for the next lobster nest.

As expected, there are indeed a lot of lobsters here. It took him less than two minutes to find a lobster nest at the bottom of another pit.

He also reached out to grab it, and after five minutes, the two large net bags he brought were full, and there were thirteen Ise lobsters inside.

The number of lobsters here was a bit beyond his imagination. He quickly swam back to the boat and poured all the lobsters into the fish box, which was half full in no time.

Chu Mingcheng frowned seeing this, the fish tank is not big, although it is not full, but too many lobsters may not be able to hold oxygen.

Moreover, the oxygen pump has to be charged, so it is far less convenient to use than the live water tank.

He simply came to the living water tank on the king’s full-footed worm, and then arranged the space, leaving half of it.

The size of the king’s full-bodied worm shrinks, resulting in more congestion, but the vitality of this worm is far from comparable to that of a lobster.

He should be back in two days, so it’s not a big problem.

Then he poured the lobster into the live water tank, took out all the net bags on the boat and hung them on his body, and then jumped into the water to continue catching.

There are eight net bags hanging on his body, which looks like the elders of the Eight Bags of the Beggar Gang, which is a bit interesting.

However, carrying eight net pockets also saves him from having to go back and forth frequently, which is much more convenient.

Chu Mingcheng was slowly looking for lobsters in the water, and before he knew it, he came to the bottom of the cliff of the island.

The coral reefs here are gradually replaced by reefs, but fortunately there are still a lot of lobsters.

Chu Mingcheng wondered if it had been a long time since no one had visited here, and why there were so many lobsters.

Of course, what he caught later was not all Ise lobsters, but also dense hairy lobsters, green lobsters and striped spiny lobsters.

These lobsters are all about the same size. So far, he has caught more than 30 lobsters, filling six net bags.

At this moment, he found another big lobster crawling by the edge of a rock.

Chu Mingcheng approached slowly, but this lobster was particularly vigilant, before he reached out his hand, the lobster suddenly slapped its tail, and it sprang far away.

Under normal circumstances, he gave up.

But this lobster was the biggest one I encountered tonight, reaching a full height of more than 50 centimeters.

It would be a pity if this kind of big lobster gave up, so Chu Mingcheng resolutely chased after it.

Chasing and chasing, a huge cave with the height of a person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He stopped quickly, and then watched the lobster swim in and disappeared.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the huge cave with an uncertain expression.

The lighting distance is limited, so he came to the entrance of the cave and took a photo inside, and found that the cave was very deep.

In the cave, you can see many fish swimming and some small crabs crawling.

Chu Mingcheng considered again and again, and chose to go back and continue looking for other lobsters.

It is not surprising to find caves near small islands. Due to geological reasons, many cave explorers go into caves on land, and it is not uncommon for them to come out in the sea.

Chu Mingcheng is a little curious about this cave, and because of the map, he can find the direction even if he gets lost in the cave.

But who knows where this cave leads to and how long it is, so there is no actual benefit value, and he is too lazy to venture in.

Tonight, Chu Mingcheng has been busy.

The number of lobsters became less and less after catching them. In the end, he only caught more than 80 lobsters in total. In this case, he simply went back to collect the longline first.

All five longlines were pulled up, and more than 1,000 catties of fish were harvested, which is indeed much more than that in domestic waters.

After a busy night, I woke up the next day with a catch of more than 700 catties, which was only more than 1,000 catties left to meet the customer’s order requirement.

The longline continued to be lowered, and Chu Mingcheng began diving to find the medium-sized cruise ship.

But the information he found was too vague about the geographical location. The sea is so vast, so how could he find it if he just searched for it.

From morning to night, I even searched at depths of 500 or 600 meters, but Chu Mingcheng didn’t even find a piece of glass.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was more or less discouraged by the result.

Originally, he planned to continue searching the next day, but the weather at sea changed rapidly. Unfortunately, Chu Mingcheng encountered a violent storm while sleeping.

The strength of the sea wind was almost the same as the last typhoon, and he quickly sailed to the leeward side of the island.

Sitting in the cab, Chu Mingcheng was somewhat nervous. This was the first time he encountered such bad weather at sea.

The Poseidon has been fluctuating violently with the waves on the sea surface, and it looks like it will turn over at any time.

Fortunately, the Poseidon has a relatively high level of wind and wave resistance, and the ship is on the leeward side of the island, so it was bumped a bit, and it has been safe and sound.

The bad weather lasted all morning, and Chu Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gradually calming sea.

Just a short while later, all the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright sun.

Chu Mingcheng hurriedly drove the boat to the location where the longlines were put in, but the longlines were all pushed down to the bottom of the cliff on the island, and all became entangled.

Chu Mingcheng was also very helpless, the weather came as soon as it was said, and it still came after four o’clock in the morning.

He also woke up because of the shaking of the boat at that time, and he drove the boat to a relatively safe position at the first time, so he didn’t care about the longline!

Now the longlines are all entangled, and it may be difficult to untangle them. Even if they can be untied, it will be a waste of time. It is better to buy them again.

But this thing can’t stay here, it has to be taken back to the ship and brought back to land.

Chu Mingcheng changed into a diving suit and brought two live fish buckles. It is estimated that there should be a lot of fish on the longline, which must be retrieved.

Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng came to the side of the long rope.

The location is a coincidence, just on the side of the cave, and many sub-lines are in the cave.

Chu Mingcheng first pulls the sub-thread back, and if there are fish, he unties it and hangs it on the live fish buckle, and then wraps the sub-thread directly on the messy main thread.

Some sub-threads were hanging on the bottom, so he swam along the threads to untie them.

Busy for several hours, Chu Mingcheng took back most of the sub-threads.

There are also a lot of fish, probably a few hundred catties, but because of the weather in the morning, most of them died of lack of oxygen.

Fortunately, the fish was still fresh, and he put it in the refrigerated cabin after bleeding.

Then, he put on the headlamp and began to retract the sub-threads in the cave.

Most of them are fine and can be pulled back directly. In the end, some parts are still hanging inside, and Chu Mingcheng needs to go in and untie them.

The entrance of the cave can be seen clearly because of the sunlight, but the interior is not good, so he turned on the headlights for illumination.

Following the sub-line, Chu Mingcheng swam into the cave.

This cave is really as he guessed, deep enough!

His strands are 100 meters long, and the deepest ones are probably hung in the cave at a depth of 70 to 80 meters.

After untying the sub-thread, Chu Mingcheng was about to go back, but when he looked up, he unexpectedly found more than a dozen dense lobsters on the ground.

They lined up in a row, slowly crawling towards the outside of the cave like a train.

This reminded Chu Mingcheng of the very big lobster before, which was also a hairy lobster at that time. After he found it, he swam directly to this cave. Could there be a hairy lobster nest in this cave?

He was more or less curious, and wanted to go in and look for it.

Even if the cave is very deep, he estimates that the hairy lobster will not travel that far. He may be able to find it easily and not get lost.

Then he took the sub-line and grabbed the group of lobsters crawling on the ground first.

Caught four big ones, and the rest ran away.

Because he didn’t bring a net bag, he had to tie it up with a sub thread first.

Swimming out of the cave, Chu Mingcheng pulled the longline back to the boat, piled it in a corner and rinsed it repeatedly with clean water to avoid an unpleasant fishy smell after drying.

After rinsing, he put on eight net bags again, jumped into the water and swam to the cave.

Coming to the cave entrance again, this time he swam directly to the depths of the cave without any hesitation.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t sure how long he had been swimming, but he did find a group of densely haired lobsters in a circular pothole inside the cave.

This group of lobsters was guided by their partners to find him.

This pothole should be their hiding place.

At that time, after swimming halfway in Chuming City, they found one after another or rows of lobsters slowly crawling out.

Then he followed the route of these lobsters and found the pothole around the corner.

Of course, among these lobsters, as long as they were big, he caught them and put them in the net bag.

When encountering such a nest of dense hairy lobsters, Chu Mingcheng naturally would not let them go.

Soon, a scene of lobsters fleeing in a hurry appeared in the cave.

Chu Mingcheng’s net bag was filled with furry lobsters in just a short while. He didn’t continue to explore the depths of the cave. Instead, he returned to the Poseidon and put the lobsters into the living water tank.

Now there are more than 130 lobsters in the living water tank, and there are no more lobsters in the living water tank.

Chu Mingcheng took all the net bags, leaving only one, and then put the headlamp and a flashlight in it, and took the other flashlight with him.

With this posture, it is obvious that he has become interested in this cave and is going to go in and have a look.

But before going in, Chu Mingcheng first opened the map of Mouse Ban and the map of Dong Xing Ban.

When he found that these two types of fish were present outside the cave and did not move much, he also felt confident.

With these two kinds of fish as coordinates, even if he gets lost inside, he can easily find the exit.

After the preparations were completed, Chu Mingcheng returned to the cave.

There is no fork in this cave so far, but it is more convenient for him to explore.

Continuously scanning with a flashlight in his hand, Chu Ming entered deeper and deeper into the city.

I didn’t know how much I swam, but he suddenly found that the terrain of the cave was getting higher and higher, and the water was getting shallower and shallower.

Five minutes later, Chu Mingcheng got up from the water and stood on dry land.

The waterway is quite long. Although he was swimming slowly, it still took nearly half an hour.

It’s just that he thought the cave was facing downwards, but he didn’t expect it to be upwards.

Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng’s eyes froze, and the flashlight shone on the ground.

“Why are there so many footprints?”

There are no bats and other animals in the dark cave, but a large group of messy footprints appeared inexplicably.

Then he took the flashlight and shone at the sea behind, and then found some obvious footprints in the shallow water.

There are people in this cave, and more than one person.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand to feel it, and found that there was no wind in the cave. What’s the situation?

There is no wind in the cave, which means that either the exit is far away, or this is a one-way exit cave.

Then what about the people inside?

There will be no wildlings, right?

Chu Mingcheng’s thoughts suddenly scattered, but when he looked at the footprints, it was obvious that they were the soles of shoes, and it was obvious that the people who appeared in the cave were ordinary humans.

Curiosity is even heavier!

Chu Mingcheng held a flashlight for illumination, and began to walk slowly inside.
