Xiang Yang asked people to divide the crabs.
All those above half price are caught and put into the live water tank, waiting to sell them all at once when the quantity reaches a certain level.
The ones that weigh about 4 taels are put into a bucket and saved for making a seafood hotpot at noon.
Those weighing less than 150 grams will be thrown back into the sea and caught again when they grow bigger.
"Yang Guang, are you sure you threw away all these big crabs?" Fang Youqun was holding a bucket with half a bucket of swimming crabs in it. He said with a pained look on his face, "These are swimming crabs, not cuttlefish. This half bucket would cost several hundred yuan if it were put in the vegetable market."
"Too small, not much meat." Xiang Yang said. In the seafood market, crabs weighing 2 taels are considered big crabs, but these crabs look no different from those weighing 3-4 taels. But when you eat them, you can immediately find that they are not of the same grade in terms of texture, taste, or eating experience.
Fang Youqun did not refute anything. He sighed softly and threw them back into the sea one by one with great reluctance. As he threw them, he muttered, "Goodbye, it's goodbye, not farewell forever. You must grow up quickly. When you grow up, I will catch you again."
"These are such big swimming crabs. Are you sure you are going to cook them for lunch?" Professor Chen Yu said with a smile.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Yes, they are all for eating. We will cook a seafood hotpot at noon."
Professor Chen Yu smiled and nodded, "Then it seems that I will have another good meal at noon."
Professor Chen Yu had no pressure at all to eat a few crabs from Xiang Yang. Of course, if it was really some rare and expensive sea fish, he would definitely refuse.
In fact, strictly speaking, crabs are the most common seafood.
Many people may disagree and think that the most common seafood should be cuttlefish, saury, etc.
Actually not.
In the inland, whether it is saury, cuttlefish, or other seafood, what most people can eat are dried goods. Even if they are not dried goods, they are basically frozen products. It is rare to eat live seafood. If it is not live, how can it be said to be fresh
But crabs don't.
Everyone who eats crabs knows that once the crab is dead, it cannot be eaten, so strictly speaking, crabs are the seafood that the public comes into contact with the most.
Of course, this is going a bit far.
Even Master Kong seafood noodles are called seafood, who dares to say that dead saury is not seafood
"Student Xiang Yang," Chen Yu asked, "Didn't you say that the two humpback whales and killer whales were in the Qinglongwan area? We've been sailing for so long, and we haven't left Qinglongwan yet?"
"If we were sailing in a straight line, we would have left Qinglong Bend long ago, but we are not sailing in a straight line. The Qinglong Bend is very large. How would I know where those three guys ran to?" Xiang Yang said with a wry smile: "We can only go around Qinglong Bend first. If they see my fishing boat, they will swim over to me."
Chen Yu discussed with the two old men, and then said, "Can you dock the boat here?"
"Teacher, what do you want to do?" Xiang Yang asked.
Professor Chen Yu said: "I want to go to the bottom of the sea to collect some samples."
Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng.
Chen Qingsheng immediately understood, "Captain, I'll have the ship stop within five nautical miles."
Xiang Yang nodded, this was probably the best way to deal with it.
The fishing net has already been cast. If we stop the boat now, the net will undoubtedly be cast in vain.
Xiang Yang felt it was necessary to drag the fish for a distance to at least ensure there would be some catch and not end up with an empty net.
soon.
The fishing boat slowly stopped in an area with very clear and blue water.
Xiang Yang arranged several crew members with better skills to cook seafood pot, grill saury and cook fish meal.
He led the rest of the crew and prepared to go down to the bottom of the sea to take a look.
Professor Chen Yu and other scientific researchers were also wearing diving suits.
This time, Chen Yu and his team's diving suits changed again. They had a metallic appearance, just like Iron Man's suit. They didn't look bloated at all after putting them on. However, Xiang Yang sensitively discovered that their diving suits seemed to be more rigid than Xiang Yang's existing diving suits, and not as flexible as the one he was wearing.
This can be seen from the fact that after Professor Chen Yu put it on, the movements of his limbs seemed like mechanical.
"Teacher, what is on you?" Xiang Yang asked.
"The diving equipment has an alloy metal shell and uses the most advanced fiber body. The total weight of this diving suit does not exceed 30 kilograms, which is not even as heavy as a large oxygen tank on the market. It also uses a streamlined design that is most suitable for swimming. Wearing this diving suit does not affect a person's swimming speed. The cost of one set is about one million yuan." Professor Chen Yu said with a smile.
When Xiang Yang heard this, he decisively shut his mouth.
The people in the laboratory are more business-savvy than businessmen, and they have a monopoly on technology. The cost of a set is one million, so selling it for three million is considered kind. Besides, people may not necessarily sell it. Xiang Yang can't afford such diving equipment.
"This set of diving equipment is actually specially used to study large and ferocious sea beasts." Professor Chen Yu explained: "This alloy metal is very resistant to bite, and the fiber inside is also very advanced and very impact-resistant. Wearing this set of diving equipment, even if researchers anger humpback whales and killer whales, it will not put their lives in danger."
When Xiang Yang heard this, he immediately lost interest.
This diving suit is obviously worn by special operators in special occasions.
Xiang Yang is on a fishing team, not a whaling team, so such a diving suit would be of no use to him.
"Teacher, then I'll go down first?" Xiang Yang said, pointing under the side of the boat.
"Okay, let's go down together." Chen Yu put on a helmet and went down into the sea via the suspension ladder.
Xiang Yang lagged behind Chen Yu by a few steps, but he reached the sea earlier than Chen Yu, because Xiang Yang simply flipped over the side of the boat and fell into the sea like a dumpling.
"Young man." Professor Chen Yu smiled and shook his head, but then his eyes moved away from Xiang Yang and fell on the seabed.
Xiang Yang was also shocked by the scenery under the sea.
The water in this sea area is very deep, but it is not a trench. The seabed is very flat, and the soft, snow-white sand covers the seabed. On the fine white sand, sparse seaweeds are swaying with the waves. Among the countless seaweeds, there are all kinds of conches lying in all directions, big, small, white, red, all kinds of conches, which are more beautiful and dazzling than corals. Countless conches cover the seabed, forming an underwater world that is so beautiful that it looks like a fairyland.
Xiang Yang stared at the seabed motionlessly, scanning one conch after another with an intoxicated look on his face.
