Fang Youqun stared at the two dolphins and swallowed his saliva. "Brother Yang, those two should be kept in the water tank first, right?"
Xiang Yang glanced at Fang Youqun and asked, "What are you putting it in the water tank for?"
"Of course, take it back!" Fang Youqun said as a matter of course.
Everyone on the boat was speechless. It turned out that this kid had set his sights on those two precious babies.
"This is a first-class protected animal. It's as precious as the giant panda. Take it back and surrender yourself?" Xiang Yang poured a basin of cold water on Fang Youqun.
"We won't harm them, so it should be okay to sell them to the Ocean Park, right?" Fang Youqun said unwillingly.
Fang Youqun has been to the underwater world in Longcheng City. The dolphins in the underwater world are highly intelligent animals. They are gentle and friendly to humans, and are very popular among tourists.
In particular, there are two trained dolphins that can perform many difficult moves. Under the guidance of the guides, they can even communicate with humans, hug humans, and perform difficult diving moves with the trainers.
"Release them!" Xiang Yang was not interested in selling the dolphins to the ocean park, and he had no interest in the proposal of his friend group.
"Then let me take a photo as a souvenir." Fang Youqun took out his cell phone and wanted to take a selfie.
Chen Qingsheng snatched Fang Youqun's phone and glared at him, "Listen to the captain and don't cause trouble for everyone."
Dolphins are like bombs to fishermen. If photos of dolphins on the deck are circulated, it is essential to at least be questioned by the relevant departments.
Although these two dolphins are not big in size, they are very heavy. It took several crew members to lift them into the sea.
After being released, the two dolphins did not leave. Instead, they kept jumping out of the sea around the fishing boat, waving their fins as if to thank the crew for releasing them.
"Okay, now we can take pictures as a souvenir." Xiang Yang smiled. Everything has a spirit, not to mention highly intelligent animals like dolphins, even hares have spirits. Xiang Yang had seen a video before, where a hunter followed the rabbit's footprints to the rabbit hole in the winter snow to smoke the rabbit. The smoked rabbit was full of humane pleading and even shed tears. Seeing the rabbit crying, the hunter softened his heart and chose to let the rabbit go. When the hunter left, the rabbit came out of the rabbit hole and kept bowing to the hunter's back.
The relationship between humans and animals is difficult to explain.
On the one hand, wild animals run and swim in mountains, rivers, and seas to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. For humans, wild animals are a great tonic and can bring rich profits to humans.
on the other hand... ...
In fact, many farmed animals taste better and have higher nutritional value than wild game.
Take puffer fish in the water for example. The toxin content in wild puffer fish is very high, and many people die every year from eating wild puffer fish. In fact, the non-toxic puffer fish on the market that cost only a few dozen yuan per pound and have been artificially bred for six or seven generations taste no worse than wild puffer fish.
Taking eggs on land as an example, many people believe that free-range eggs are more nutritious than feed eggs. In fact, scientific experiments have shown that there is no difference in the nutritional value between free-range eggs and ordinary eggs. On the contrary, the eggs from farms on the market that eat feed carefully formulated by the Ministry of Agriculture according to strict standards have fewer pollutants and harmful substances than free-range eggs.
"Hurry up and clean up the catch. Put all the less valuable or dying fish into foam boxes and send them to the freezer." Xiang Yang also took a few photos of dolphins jumping, then immediately put away his phone and started cleaning the catch.
A group of people immediately put down their mobile phones and started to work. After deducting the two dolphins that were released, the catch of this net still amounted to nearly 20,000 kilograms. Among them were many marine fish that could be used as ornamental fish. Now they were piled on the deck, which made Xiang Yang very sad.
"Open all the water tanks and pull over the water tanks. Give priority to some valuable fish. After sorting, put them into the water tanks and water tanks according to their value. Be careful not to keep carnivorous marine fish together." Xiang Yang and He Mingde did not join the ranks of cleaning the catch. The two of them stood on the left and right of the catch, watching closely and searching carefully for rare fish among the catch. Once they found any particularly precious marine fish, they would immediately catch it and put it into the water tank to prevent it from dying.
The migration speeds of seabed groups also vary, and the migration speed of shrimps and crabs is definitely not as fast as that of fish. Xiang Yang immediately ordered the net to be cast as soon as he caught up with the school of fish. Therefore, the number of crabs in this net was particularly large, accounting for almost one-third of the total catch.
Especially the swimming crabs, which at a glance can weigh at least several thousand kilograms. The eight limbs of this kind of crab are not very flexible. Even if the mesh of the fishing net is larger than they themselves, they will often get stuck in the mesh and cannot get out.
The second is the tiger crab. This kind of crab is as easy to get caught in the net as the swimming crab. This net can catch over a thousand kilograms of crabs, and it seems that each crab is different in size, with many weighing only four or five taels.
There are also quite a few large lobsters. Dozens of them have been discovered and kept in water tanks. The largest one is even bigger than the French blue lobster that Xiang Yang caught before. It's a pity that its body color is dark gray.
Among the remaining marine fish there are also many cheap squids and octopuses. These two groups are found throughout the ocean and are the most numerous everywhere.
As for the octopus, it was naturally packed in foam boxes and shipped to the freezer.
But squids are very difficult to handle. Some crew members even grabbed a one-pound squid and threw it into the sea with a look of disgust.
Xiang Yang quickly called out to the crew member, "Don't throw it away, put it in a foam box and take it back first."
"Captain, no one will eat or buy squid if you bring it back. If you put it on the boat, it's just like garbage and it's taking up space," said the crew member.
"Nonsense! You've never been to a big city. There are a lot of people who eat hand-torn mustard squid, and the price is sold by gram." Xiang Yang scolded with a smile.
There are a lot of people eating squid
Squid sold by the gram
Now everyone lost their composure and looked at Xiang Yang with their ears pricked up.
"Anyway, just take all these squids back. I'll keep them for great use." Xiang Yang couldn't explain to everyone. He knew that hand-torn mustard squid was sold in the market, but Xiang Yang had no specific idea how to make, preserve and sell it.
In addition to opening up deeper fishing grounds in more distant waters, Xiang Yang also has a dream - to allow ordinary people living far away from the coastline to be able to afford seafood for every meal.
Dreams have always been strictly hierarchical.
In the past, Xiang Yang did not have the capital or the ability to realize his dream. Now that he has the ability, Xiang Yang is determined to give it a try no matter how difficult it is.
Xiang Yang plans to register a company as soon as he returns from this trip. For the time being, he will use hand-torn mustard squid to test the market. If he loses, he will pay for his dream; if he makes money, it will be his dream.
