"Just go down and play, don't run too far. Just come back when I call you." Professor Chen Yu said with a smile. Obviously, he didn't expect Xiang Yang to be able to find the trace of the leatherback turtle.
Xiang Yang didn't care. He put the lobster back into the bucket and prepared to take it home to eat.
Li Chao was anxious, "Brother Xiang, aren't you going to sell this lobster?" Li Chao didn't care if Mr. Peng or Zhang Qicheng bought the lobster, because in the end the lobster would be sent to his hotel and cooked after a period of exhibition. But if Xiang Yang took it back, there was no doubt that it would go into Xiang Yang's own stomach.
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment. "Didn't Boss Zhang just receive a batch of lobsters yesterday? Didn't you ask him to share it with you?"
"Those are so small, how big is your head?" Li Chao curled his lips and said, "Strictly speaking, those lobsters with long claws are not even real lobsters."
Zhang Qicheng laughed and said, "He doesn't like my small ones, but likes your big one."
Xiang Yang thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to sell it. He would often travel on the sea and would have no shortage of lobster meat to eat. However, if he wanted to sell it, he would have to sell it at a good price. Xiang Yang was not willing to sell such a big lobster by pound.
"Yes, I do like it." Li Chao said, "How about it, are you going to sell it?"
After listening to Zhang Qicheng and Li Chao, Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Since Brother Chao wants it, I will certainly help him, but lobsters of this size are not sold by pound."
Li Chao laughed. "Of course. We're old friends, so I won't be rude to you. I'll give you 30,000 yuan for this lobster and the stone fish on the seabed."
"Hiss! Thirty thousand!" There was another sound of people gasping for breath all around.
Many people blinked their eyes. Thirty thousand yuan for a fish and a shrimp? That's too much money.
Professor Chen Yu smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised. The size of a lobster is linked to its value. If this big lobster is really dragged to the market, someone might want it for 30,000 yuan."
Li Chao smiled and said, "That's true, but Brother Xiang sold it to me at wholesale from the place of origin, so the factory price is naturally not as high as the market price. I'm not playing tricks with Brother Xiang."
Naturally, Xiang Yang would not really listen to Professor Chen Yu's "guidance" on the price. First, his and Li Chao were not a one-time deal. If Xiang Yang really had to drag the catch to the market to sell it himself, he didn't know how much manpower and material resources would be consumed. Secondly, a lobster is more than 10,000 yuan, but a stonefish is definitely not worth 20,000 yuan. All in all, he did not suffer any loss.
"Okay, I'll give you the shrimps. Lend me the bucket while I go catch some sea scorpions." Xiang Yang had picked up 30,000 yuan for free and was in a particularly good mood.
Li Chao immediately and happily took out the big lobster from the iron bucket. At the same time, he quickly called his people to drive over. Lobsters of this size have extremely strong vitality, so there is no need to worry about their death even if they are squeezed out of the water for a while.
Xiang Yang twisted the iron bucket and went down to the bottom of the sea again.
The stonefish is truly worthy of its reputation as a fish that is too lazy to move from birth to death. From the time Xiang Yang discovered the iron barrel, to the time he discovered the lobster that had made its home in the barrel, and finally to the time Xiang Yang surfaced and delivered the lobster, this entire process took at least ten minutes.
However, when Xiang Yang went down to the bottom of the sea again and swam back to that sea area, the stonefish lying quietly on the bottom of the sea did not move at all. Its skin, which looked like a reef, looked exactly like a piece of stone if you didn't look closely.
Too well disguised.
When the stonefish lies quietly on the seabed, not to mention ordinary marine predators, even divers wearing diving suits will mostly ignore its existence. Even if this guy does not have the 14 poisonous needles on its back, it can live well on the seabed relying solely on its superb camouflage skills.
In fact, many fishermen on the coast know that stonefish is very valuable, but few fishermen catch stonefish. The reason is that the fourteen poisonous needles on the back of the stonefish are really scary. Once you are stung, you are basically waiting to die, because the venom in the poisonous needles on the back of the stonefish is very special, which will make the stung creature extremely painful. The pain is even more painful than breaking an arm. Encountering this kind of pain underwater will almost make you lose the ability to swim and can only slowly suffocate to death in the ocean.
Even though Xiang Yang was wearing a thick diving suit and holding a paint bucket in his hand, he did not dare to be careless.
The stonefish must have seen Xiang Yang rushing towards it but it still lay motionless on the seabed. It was not known whether it was extremely confident in its camouflage skills or extremely conceited about the poison needles on its body. Of course, it was also possible that it was naturally lazy and was too lazy to move.
At this time, the people on the shore also became nervous, some of them were even more nervous than Xiang Yang himself.
People are like this. When they are doing something dangerous or challenging, they appear less nervous because they devote their whole heart to it. Instead, people watching them will be worried for them.
Xiang Yang slowly placed the paint bucket horizontally on the bottom of the sea, and shoveled some fine white sea sand towards the stone fish.
The iron bucket touched the stonefish, and the stonefish finally moved. The poisonous needles on its back stood up like spearmen, and it rubbed its back hard against the iron wall of the paint bucket.
Xiang Yang simply turned the iron bucket over and covered the stonefish completely under the bucket.
"Huh?"
“Got it!”
Two soft shouts were heard simultaneously on the shore.
The first slightly doubtful voice came from Director Li Bo.
The second sound full of surprise came from Li Chao.
Professor Li raised his eyebrows, "Professor Chen, your student is very experienced in fishing. When he turned over the iron bucket, how much resistance did the water in such a large bucket have? He actually turned the bucket over in one go. If an ordinary person did not use enough strength, he would not be able to turn the bucket over so quickly. If he used too much strength, he might be carried away by the bucket because of excessive force."
"Hey, now that you mention it, it seems to be true." Chen Yu said.
Li Chao said with a smile: "Brother Xiang is a professional fisherman, he often goes diving and fishing, who doesn't have one or two special skills if he dares to do this job?"
"Really?" Director Li Bo asked suspiciously.
"Don't worry about it." Chen Yu said, "Let's see how he gets the stonefish out of the water. It's not hard to catch a stonefish with a bucket in hand, but the hard part is how to get it out of the water. Stonefish don't like to swim, but that doesn't mean they can't swim."
"Oh, okay." Director Li thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it and just treated it as Xiang Yang's special skill. He didn't know that he almost discovered Xiang Yang's biggest secret.
On the other side, Xiang Yang didn't know what he had found on the shore. He pushed the iron bucket down to make sure that the stonefish was in the bucket before slowly turning the iron bucket over.
