My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 481 The Heinously Cheap Cuttlefish

Two kinds of creatures, octopus and squid, are really everywhere, and they are about to occupy the entire sea. Xiang Yang thought to himself.

Compared with squids, Xiang Yang felt that all marine creatures had to stand aside. Killer whales, humpback whales, and great white sharks were no match for squids.

Comparing individual combat power, the king squid is not sure who will win the battle against other ocean overlords.

Compared with the individual size, whether it is the blue whale or the squid is the largest creature on this planet, and it is far from the time to close the coffin.

than quantity?

Whoa!

From the equator to the poles, from the coast to the bottomless abyss, in the entire sea area, there is almost no place without squid.

Xiang Yang ordered Chen Qingsheng to scatter the fishing net and use a harpoon to pick apart the catch. Xiang Yang was disappointed to find that although the fish in the fishing net were of various types, they were all worthless sea fish. Part of it is due to octopus and squid. The total value of the catch in this net is less than one-third of the first net.

"It's really unlucky." Chen Qingsheng scolded.

A scientific researcher didn't understand what Chen Qingsheng was scolding. He pointed to a cuttlefish and said, "Isn't this cuttlefish worth at least a hundred catties? Isn't this cuttlefish worth tens of thousands of dollars? Why do you still seem unhappy?" look like?"

"A hundred catties? Tens of thousands?" Chen Qingsheng looked at the researcher, "I'll sell it to you for five hundred yuan, do you want it?"

"What? Five hundred?" The scientific researcher exclaimed, looked at Chen Qingsheng, then at Xiang Yang, and finally at Professor Chen Yu, with a dry smile on his face.

"Comrade, didn't you make me make a mistake? If I bought such a big cuttlefish for 500 yuan, I would be scolded to death by Dean Chen when I go back. Besides, your captain is standing right next to you. If you sold a cuttlefish this big for 500 yuan in front of him, wouldn't he take your skin?" The researcher said to Chen Qingsheng in a teasing tone.

Cuttlefish are not cheap.

In the supermarket, the price under one catty is about 70 yuan per catty.

More than one catty will cost more than one hundred yuan per catty.

If the price is more than three catties, the price will be more than two hundred yuan per catty.

The price of cuttlefish is directly linked to its size.

The head of this cuttlefish is as big as a bucket, its tentacles are spread out, and it is as big as a bed. Judging by its weight, it may be hundreds of catties by eye.

A cuttlefish of this size sells for 500 yuan, isn't that no different from a bottle of Moutai that sells for 2 yuan in some occasions?

This is clearly a bribe!

Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously. He pointed to the cuttlefish and said, "Captain, if you sell this thing for 500 yuan, will you skin me?"

Xiang Yang smiled and shook his head, "No."

Professor Chen Yu also laughed, and said, "Master Peng, if you want to buy it, then go ahead and buy it. Maybe I can help you bargain."

"Ah?" The researcher looked at Professor Chen Yu differently. In the past, Professor Chen Yu couldn't hold a grain of sand in his eyes. He couldn't figure out what happened to Professor Chen Yu today.

A master's degree is a degree, not a job title. This Master Peng is a student of an old teacher and is also his assistant, but an assistant in the laboratory is not an official position. In public, Professor Chen Yu directly called his degree.

An old professor smiled, "Master Peng, do you think this cuttlefish is very valuable?"

"Worth the money?" Fang Youqun's eyes lit up, and he brought his head closer.

Master Peng also nodded, with doubts written all over his face.

Professor Chen Yu smiled heartily, looked at Xiang Yang and said, "Student Xiang Yang, please explain to Master Peng."

Xiang Yang smiled, "Sea products like squid and cuttlefish are really valuable when they are dried and transported to inland areas, but in coastal areas, especially in fishing villages, they are actually garbage. I saw it on the beach, kicked it, and didn't even bother to bend down to pick it up."

"Ah?" Master Peng said, with disbelief written all over his face.

He looked at the cuttlefish with a head the size of a bucket on the deck, and then at Xiang Yang, "You mean this thing is garbage?"

Chen Yu patted him on the shoulder, "The fact is that, to fishing villages, especially to fishermen, things like squid are really garbage. Its price is because it is transported by dealers. After being dried in the fishing village, it becomes another commodity completely, you can understand the cuttlefish as raw material, and the dried cuttlefish is the finished product after processing.”

Master Peng looked at the cuttlefish, then at Professor Chen Yu, with doubts written all over his face, "Since the cuttlefish is worth so much just drying it, why don't you fishermen dry it yourself?"

"Of course there are fishermen who dry it themselves. After all, fishermen are not fools." Xiang Yang sighed, "But after you dry it, you still have to sell it. Seafood such as cuttlefish is too common. There is a mountain of cuttlefish in a fishing village. If you dry them, those buyers will not want them. You drag them out and sell them yourself. What about the freight? Have you thought about it?"

"If the number of dried cuttlefish is small, and he sells a few cuttlefish each time, the shipping fee will not be worth it. If the number of dried cuttlefish is too large, is he still a fisherman? He is a cuttlefish merchant." Xiang Yang laughed. .

Master Peng pointed to the big cuttlefish on the nail plate, "So these cuttlefish are really cheap?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "If you like it, this is just for you."

"No, I'll pay." Master Peng took out 500 yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Xiang Yang, then ran towards the cuttlefish happily.

"Here." Xiang Yang looked at the five hundred dollars in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put it in his pocket. Five hundred dollars is all, and the person who gave the money is willing and happy, what else can Xiang Yang have? refused?

"Clean up all the remaining catches, and then continue to cast the net." Based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it is still meat, Xiang Yang ordered loudly.

Although the bamboo saury is cheap, it is very easy to sell. Xiang Yang doesn’t dislike the fact that there are so many of them. At worst, he thinks that he used the fishing boat as a cargo ship to pull the goods. In this way, the shipping cost of the bamboo saury will be high, a few yuan One catty shipping.

Octopus, squid and the like can be stored in the freezer for their own food, or they can be kept for feeding to humpback whales.

There are also some crabs in this net, there are more than one hundred in number, both big and small.

Xiang Yang guessed that a group of crabs just happened to swim through the sea area dragged by fishing nets.

Crabs are very easy to get caught in nets. With their unique body structure, a crab with a diameter only the size of a ping-pong ball can also be easily caught by a fishing net with a palm-sized mouth. Therefore, the group of passing crabs should be caught by the net. The fishing nets caught every single one.
