My Deep-sea Fishery

To be honest, who would think that there are too many catches on board?

"Hey, thank you, Brother Yang, don't say anything, come on, I'll toast you, everything is in the wine." Wu Shiwen picked up the rice wine and poured a glass for Xiang Yang and himself, then said.

Xiang Yang didn't refuse either. He picked up the cup and took a sip. Xiang Yang actually liked to drink this self-cooked rice wine, but when he went to work at sea, he usually didn't drink, and when he went back, he usually didn't drink. No one would drink rice wine for Xiang Yang, usually bought baijiu.

There was a toast, and today's work was over, so Xiang Yang naturally wouldn't have any excuses.

He Mingde broke off a crab claw, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, the crab claw split into two pieces, and he picked out the reddish white crab meat with his chopsticks.

"This wild spider crab tastes really good, but it's a pity to put minced garlic. It's a bit of a waste of the original taste of the spider crab, so the meat in the big tongs is still authentic."

Xiang Yang smiled, "The market price of spider crabs is quite expensive, and none of you have cooked them before, so it's pretty good to be able to cook them like this."

"Yeah, this stuff is cheap if you sell it for thousands of dollars. Normally, who would be willing to eat it?"

He Mingde has been wandering in the sea for more than ten years. He has caught many spider crabs, but the number of times he has eaten them is really very few.

It was Xiang Yang who was willing to give such high-grade ingredients to the crew.

Of course, the crew members on Xiang Yang's boat were indeed the most motivated among all the crew members He Mingde had seen.

"When you go back to Pioneer Beach, should you sell these spider crabs on the spot?" He Mingde said: "Xisha has always been one of the favorite spots for high-income groups to visit. Most people who come here come on cruise ships. If you play it, you can sell it more affordable."

Xiang Yang nodded, "Let's wait until Pioneer Beach. If someone wants it, then sell it."

On the Xisha side, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and people who come here are either tourists or fishing.

Xiang Yang's so-called someone wants it, of course, does not mean whether someone will accept it. The price of collecting seafood here is very low, and Xiang Yang can't sell it.

He Mingde also meant the same thing, to see if he could meet a rich boss who came to play and buy it directly at the market price.

They are not worried about selling spider crabs, and they can also bring them to the Antarctic waters.

The main purpose and task of going to Pioneer Beach is to replenish the supplies on the ship and deal with the pearl swallows on the ship.

Wu Shiwen and He Mingde also caught a lot of pearl swallows.

At first, those pearl swallows were not afraid of people and were easy to catch.

But later, when those pearl swallows realized the danger, they began to hide in the coral reefs.

One of the most important reasons why so many kinds of fish use coral reefs as habitats is that coral reefs can provide refuge for many kinds of fish.

When the pearl swallows hid in the crevices of those coral reefs, the crew couldn't find them at all.

This is also the main reason why Xiang Yang is worried that this sea area will cause ecological damage due to the invasion of pearl swallow species.

Pearl swallows are old coral fish. When they are familiar with the marine predators here, as soon as they meet them, they will burrow into the coral reefs. No predators will be able to catch them. Over time, they will multiply. More and more, it is bound to have a huge impact on other marine life that already lives in this sea area.

The sky gradually darkened.

But the fishing boat did not stop to rest.

Traveling at night is the routine operation of ocean-going fishing boats. They should be able to reach Pioneer Beach by dawn tomorrow, saving the fleet a lot of time.

On the ship, the crew gathered in twos and threes. Except for a few who were really tired and went back to the cabin to rest first, most of the crew stayed on the deck.

The fishing boat turned on a circle of searchlights, illuminating the surrounding sea area white.

Xiang Yang instructed Chen Qingsheng a few words, telling the crew not to get close to the railings on both sides, and not to go alone at the bow and stern of the ship, and they will do the rest.

Most of the crew gathered at the stern. For various reasons, every time the fishing boat passed by, a lot of sea fish would come, especially at night when the searchlights were on.

"Damn it, what a big fish."

At the stern, there was a sudden commotion.

Xiang Yang looked at the stern of the boat, and it turned out to be a silver-white swordfish hanging from the stern to hunt for food.

"This swordfish should weigh several hundred catties." Xiang Yang smiled and asked, "Is there anyone who can catch it?"

Everyone was ashamed.

Even Fang Youqun, who had always been ignorant of the sky and the earth, kept his mouth shut.

Usually, it takes two laps to catch a fish weighing more than ten kilograms.

Who would dare to catch a big fish weighing hundreds of catties, or a swordfish known for its ferocity and fast swimming speed?

Xiang Yang was actually just joking, such a big swordfish, let alone a human, if the boat was smaller, it would be able to drag the boat away.

Anyone who dares to go crazy for swordfish is a real madman.

Chen Qingsheng gnawed on the duck leg, he said: "It is impossible to catch such a big fish, it is enough to drag a person to the bottom of the sea, but if you really want this fish, Captain , I have a way."

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "Apart from casting a net, what else can you do?"

net?

The bottom is full of jagged coral reefs, and boats can only follow fixed routes, unless the net doesn't want it anymore.

Chen Qingsheng chuckled, "No, I'm talking about harpoons. In ancient times, when catching large sea animals such as sharks, swordfish, and whales, they used harpoons directly to spear them. I can try try."

Xiang Yang decisively rejected Chen Qingsheng's proposal, it was too unsafe.

Moreover, if a dead fish comes up, Xiang Yang won't go back for a while, it's too wasteful.

Then Chen Qingsheng looked at the duck leg in Chen Qingsheng's hand, "Didn't you have enough tonight?"

Xiang Yang brought a lot of duck legs, chicken legs, etc. on board, for the crew to satisfy their cravings. However, because the food on Xiang Yang's ship is generally very good, few people would eat these meats.

But things like vegetables and fruits are in short supply.

"Didn't you cook the crab with garlic at night? The crab was eaten, but there was still a lot of garlic left. I took it to the kitchen and reprocessed it, and made it into a condiment for roasting duck legs. Don't say, it's cooked The garlic taste of the spider crab is sweet and sweet, the aroma of the duck leg, mixed with the umami taste of the spider crab, and the taste of the garlic itself, not to mention how beautiful it is, there are a few more in the kitchen, captain, do you want to come? ?” Chen Qingsheng said with a smile.

Xiang Yang was quite speechless, "If you want to eat spider crabs, you can get another one, and you can get roasted duck legs with garlic and roasted spider crabs, thank you for thinking about it."

Chen Qingsheng laughed suddenly, "No, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with this minced garlic, it's that it tastes really delicious roasted like this. Just wait, I'll go to the kitchen and get you one."
