My Deep-sea Fishery

The so-called want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass.

After hearing Xiang Yang's words, the crew immediately yelled and dived into the bottom of the sea, more motivated than before.

For such a long time before, the crew only caught a total of more than 500 catties of swimming crabs. This time, in less than 20 minutes, the number of swimming crabs on Xiang Yang's boat has nearly doubled.

A crew member also dragged up a blue grouper weighing more than ten kilograms. This fish is very fierce in the water, and I don't know how he pulled it up.

After Fang Youqun went diving several times in a row, Xiang Yang didn't allow him to go down, but he couldn't stay idle, so he helped clean up the catch.

"Hey, Brother Yang, look quickly." Fang Youqun opened a net pocket and exclaimed suddenly as if he had discovered a new continent.

"What are you looking at?" Xiang Yang glanced there, and saw that Fang Youqun was holding a different crab in his hand. This crab was as big as a palm, but it was neither blue nor gray, but golden yellow.

"Golden crab." Fang Youqun held the crab like a treasure, "Brother Yang, do you think the value of this golden crab is very high?"

Xiang Yang smiled, "It seems to be a butter crab. Such a big butter crab is rare. Who provided this net bag? Ask him, where did he catch this butter crab."

Butter crab is also called golden crab, which is actually cream crab. When the tide is low, the fierce sunlight makes the water temperature rise, and the body of the cream crab will secrete a golden oily substance, which will penetrate into the Cream every part of the crab body, so that the whole crab body is filled with butter.

"Golden crabs of this quality are too rare." Zhang Qichen walked over and said regretfully, "It's just that the number is too small, just one."

Xiang Yang asked Zhang Qicheng, "Boss Zhang, you also accept this kind of golden crab?"

"Nonsense." Zhang Qicheng said: "The golden ointment in the golden crab has extremely high nutritional value. It is a great tonic and special tonic. It is also fragrant and sweet. After cooking, the butter melts into the crab meat, and the crab meat is also golden yellow." , the taste is extremely delicious, it is the best among crabs, how could I not accept such crabs? I will accept as much as you have."

Zhang Qicheng said that Xiang Yang wanted to eat it.

Xiang Yang smiled, handed the crab to Fang Youqun and said, "Fang Youqun, you steamed this crab for me tonight, I will try the taste, if the taste is really good, I will pay attention to it next time when I go into the sea .”

"Okay, Captain." Fang Youqun promised to pick up the golden crab.

Zhang Qicheng hurriedly stopped him, "No, it can't, this level of steamed golden crab is ruined, you have to take it home and cook it properly. You give me this crab, and I'll pay you a thousand dollars."

"Huh?" Xiang Yang hummed.

"One thousand yuan?" Chen Qingsheng's eyes widened.

Fang Youqun shook his hand and almost dropped the golden crab to the deck and died.

"Is this price a little false?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.

As far as Xiang Yang knows, the average butter crab is actually only five or six hundred yuan a catty, and the transformation of the butter crab is due to a lot of accidental factors. There is almost no artificial breeding. How did you get to Zhang Qicheng? One thousand yuan for one?

"False? Not false at all." Zhang Qicheng explained: "What you know is butter crabs, not golden crabs. Although butter crabs and golden crabs are the same kind of crab, butter crabs can be called golden crabs, and golden crabs can also be called golden crabs." It can be called butter crab, but in fact, the names of golden crab and butter crab in the industry are two levels that distinguish the two.”

"You touch its leg joints." Zhang Qicheng said.

Xiang Yang pressed it, "It's a bit soft."

"Soft is right. Golden crabs are also called soft-footed crabs. In the industry, only butter crabs with soft legs can be called golden crabs. This is because the cream in its body has turned into grease. If you press it hard , that means the ointment in its body has not been completely transformed, so it cannot be called a golden crab, but a butter crab."

Xiang Yang looked at Zhang Qicheng, "Only one leg is weak and the other is not, so the price difference is so much?"

"The price difference is bigger than you think. The five or six hundred yuan a catty butter crab you mentioned is the market price, and the one thousand yuan I said is the purchase price of a golden crab. In fact, the selling price of a golden crab is Including the cost of cooking, it will cost at least 2,000 yuan." Zhang Qicheng laughed.

Xiang Yang's eyebrows twitched, "A crab costs two thousand yuan, so expensive?"

"Rare is the most expensive thing. The number of golden crabs is too small, let alone golden crabs, and there are not many butter crabs." Zhang Qicheng sighed.

Fang Youqun asked a question, "Golden crabs and butter crabs are the same crabs. One has soft legs and the other has hard legs. Is anyone really willing to pay several times more for this golden crab? Let's just go with it." Do you eat differently?"

"Why do people have money?" Zhang Qicheng blinked, "Some people eat food just to fill their stomachs, and some people eat food to be particular about what they eat, so the price of butter crab is at a level. It's rather embarrassing, some people don't want to make do with it, and ordinary people don't want to eat it, but this golden crab is absolutely priceless, I can help you sell as many as you catch, not to mention the far away ones. In Brother Chao’s hotel, consuming hundreds of them a day is like playing.”

Fang Youqun was speechless, he was really speechless at Zhang Qicheng's words.

In fact, butter crab and golden crab are more expensive in Hong Kong and Macau.

Butter crab is a rare edible crab species in Guangdong, Hong Kong and other places. It is well-known in southern China and has the reputation of "the king of crabs".

Its price is the highest among domestic crabs. In Xiangjiang Restaurant, butter crabs are priced in taels, and the price per 50 grams can reach hundreds of Hong Kong dollars. It is a very, very rare seafood food.

However, the output and quality of butter crab are directly affected by the breeding environment and weather, and the production period is long, so even though its value has risen to such a high level, few fishermen are willing to call their attention. I was so happy that I danced and danced, and never deliberately looked for it if I didn't meet it.

This is the wisdom of fishermen.

But this wisdom obviously doesn't apply to Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Since it's so precious, I'll go down and look for it to see if I can find a few more. Fang Youqun, go and help me get my diving suit."

Fang Youqun immediately said: "Yes, Brother Yang." Then he trotted towards the cabin.

Zhang Qicheng tilted his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, I really didn't hit you. You'd better stop hitting this golden crab idea. You won't be able to find it."

The predecessor of golden crab is butter crab.

The predecessor of butter crab is cream crab.

After this step-by-step change, the number of golden crabs must be extremely rare. Looking for a golden crab the size of a palm in a huge sea area is indeed tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
