When Fang Youqun saw that Xiang Yang had no intention of blaming them, he immediately became lively again.
"Captain, what's in your net bag?" Fang Youqun gestured with his hands.
Xiang Yang guessed what Fang Youqun wanted to ask. He smiled and took the net bag from his waist and handed it to Fang Youqun.
Fang Youqun took the net bag, opened it and his eyes immediately lit up.
The net bag was full of hairy crabs weighing more than 10 grams each.
Although this season is past the best time to eat crabs, crabs this big are a delicacy in every season.
Fang Youqun quickly handed the net bag to Xiang Yang and hurriedly dived to the bottom of the sea to catch hairy crabs.
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed Fang Youqun.
joke.
The net bag has already been given to Xiang Yang, how could he possibly take it back
Xiang Yang smiled as he took off an empty net bag from Fang Youqun's waist and put it around his own waist. Then he pointed at the water surface with a smile, signaling Fang Youqun to go up again and hand over the net bag full of catches.
Fang Youqun suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.
However, this was an order from Xiang Yang, so Fang Youqun did not dare to resist and swam towards the sea with a bitter face.
Xiang Yang adjusted the net bag.
The reason why Fang Youqun was asked to deliver the net bag was not because Xiang Yang was lazy.
Under water, the efficiency of ten Fang Youqun is not as good as that of one Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang felt depressed when he thought about the three fishing nets he had caught today. Except for one net that made some money by catching some wrasse, the other two nets were pure losses.
Since he didn't catch anything on the surface of the sea, Xiang Yang had to make up for it from the bottom of the sea.
Moreover, with the addition of many new crew members on board, the crew's meals also put some pressure on Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang would not take out too expensive seafood, but if the crew wanted to eat seafood like swimming crabs, Xiang Yang would usually nod his head.
Xiang Yang went down to the bottom of the sea again.
This time he didn't catch the swimming crabs.
Now that the crew members have come down, the task of catching crabs can be left to the crew. Xiang Yang himself has to play his best role. Although he can fill his net bag very quickly, in order not to attract attention, his going up and down must be at least fifteen minutes apart. During these fifteen minutes, Xiang Yang must look for precious catches as much as possible. At least the catches must be at the level of rock lobsters before Xiang Yang will catch them himself.
After swimming along the undulating seaweed for a while, Xiang Yang saw a tall, steep, and dangerous underwater mountain range that was not covered by seaweed.
Xiang Yang stared at the mountains for a while, and then swam towards them.
They are called mountains, but in fact they are reef fortresses made up of countless reefs. From time to time, very beautiful fish swim among the reefs, attracting Xiang Yang's attention.
On a sunny hillside, Xiang Yang even saw a lot of corals.
"It's so scary. The peak of this highest reef is less than ten meters away from the sea surface. If it were to ebb tide or if a giant fishing boat were to take deep water, it would be considered a reef." Xiang Yang thought to himself.
"I have to tell Xu Fang later and ask him to have someone mark this area on the nautical chart. It's better to avoid coming to this area when you have nothing to do in the future."
Large ocean-going fishing vessels are not afraid of wind and waves, but they are also afraid of reefs. If they run aground, it is easy for the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
With the help of the mysterious jade shell, Xiang Yang saw that there were many marine creatures living among these rugged reefs.
For example, about twenty meters to the left front of Xiang Yang, there was a half-meter-long grouper hiding in a cave to rest.
For example, within Xiang Yang’s current sight, there is a large lobster with a body length of more than 20 centimeters looking for food.
"The reason why groupers and lobsters like to live in reef forests is because the rugged reefs are their natural shelters, but once they encounter fishermen, this natural shelter is simply a cage for them."
Xiang Yang swam to the big lobster that was foraging for food, reached out and grabbed it, twisted the back of the lobster's head, and then threw it directly into the net bag.
After catching a fish weighing two or three pounds, Xiang Yang was in a good mood and continued to swim towards the depths of the reef forest.
After swimming for a while, Xiang Yang finally understood why this piece of reef forest was so close to the seaweed patch, but it was bare and had no seaweed growing on it.
It turns out that due to the unique topography of this sea area, the sea water has formed a special undercurrent on the seabed.
The impact of this undercurrent is extremely strong. If Xiang Yang stays still in the water, his body might even be washed away by the undercurrent.
Moreover, those undercurrents constantly washed up the mud and sand on the seabed, making the water under this sea area somewhat turbid.
No wonder there are so many groupers. It turns out there is an undercurrent. Over countless years, the bottom of this reef has been covered with mud and sand. This is the grouper's favorite living environment.
Xiang Yang was looking left and right.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and softened in disbelief.
It turned out to be a real sea cucumber, and it was the best of the best, the plum blossom sea cucumber. This one, that one, all of them in this area.
Xiang Yang's breathing became rapid. He often heard people say that sea cucumbers like to live in cool places under the reefs. Xiang Yang had encountered sea cucumbers many times, but this was the first time he had encountered such an astonishing number.
With just a quick glance, Xiang Yang had already seen dozens of ginsengs, and most of them were as thick as Xiang Yang's arms.
Without saying a word, Xiang Yang took out the lobster from the net bag and let it go, then swam quickly towards the sea cucumbers.
Compared with plum blossom ginseng, what else do you need lobster
Last year, the market price of wild ginseng, which is as thick as a thumb, reached more than 8,000 yuan per catty in Zhubai Supermarket in Zhuzhou, the largest freight transit city in Hunan Province.
Xiang Yang had rarely seen anyone with such thick arms in the market.
Xiang Yang held a ginseng in his left hand and threw it into the net bag.
He held a ginseng in his right hand and threw it into the net bag.
I wish I had three heads and six arms.
Soon, Xiang Yang caught a full net bag of ginseng, and then he swam towards the sea with a sense of unsatisfied desire.
"Captain, here is the rope." When the crew on the boat saw Xiang Yang, they immediately threw down a rope and signaled Xiang Yang to tie the net bag to the rope, and they pulled it up.
Xiang Yang shook his head. He would have to go up and deal with this generation of plum ginseng himself to feel at ease.
Rejecting the crew's kindness, Xiang Yang quickly climbed toward the deck.
On the deck, Zhang Qicheng, who was wearing a diving suit but no helmet, was video chatting with someone. "Lao Li, I just went into the water. Guess what I found underwater? Tell me and I'll make you jealous."
