My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 9: Undersea plain

Views:

The next morning, after breakfast, Xiang Yang had nothing to do.

Just leave the matter of purchasing shrimps and crabs to Xiang's father and mother.

But the money in the family is almost gone. Although only a few lobsters have been purchased so far, more than 400 kilograms of swimming crabs have been purchased. The cost of purchasing swimming crabs alone is as high as more than 20,000 yuan.

As far as Xiang Yang knows, the villagers now know where to find sea cucumbers. Although the villagers' fishing efficiency is not high, there are too many villagers. Xiang Yang estimates that in another day or two, dozens of kilograms of prepared sea cucumbers may be delivered.

Although Xiang Yang also got a batch of high-end seafood last night, Boss Li promised to send someone to pick up the goods in the afternoon, and he would receive a revenue of nearly 100,000 yuan at that time, but Xiang Yang always felt that he was still short of money.

Especially when he heard that some clever villagers went to other villages to buy swimming crabs and lobsters at a price lower than the price Xiang Yang gave but a few dollars higher than the price in the town, Xiang Yang felt that he was even more short of money.

As for the authenticity of the news, Xiang Yang had no doubt about it. Although the villagers had not received much education, they were not stupid. Even if the news was false, under the trend of interests, it would not take long for someone to stand up and become the boss.

Apart from the problem of the capital chain, Xiang Yang is very happy to see the villagers boldly go out. If the village can really become prosperous, Xiang Yang will also be proud.

Xiang Yang made up his mind that once the diving equipment he bought online arrived and he could conceal it from others, he would immediately go to the bottom of the sea to look for valuable and precious seafood.

Just as I was thinking about it, a bright army green postal vehicle drove into the village and stopped at the entrance of the village. A middle-aged man with dark skin and a slightly fat figure got out of the car, as if asking for directions.

When Xiang Yang happened to see the postal truck, he was wondering in his heart whether his diving equipment had arrived. When he saw the postal truck driver asking for directions and the postal truck driving straight towards his home, Xiang Yang immediately had an idea and rushed to meet it.

"Master, my name is Xiang Yang. Has my express delivery arrived?" Xiang Yang shouted loudly while stopping at the side of the dirt road.

"Xiang Yang? Yes, that's right, that's his name." The postman opened the door and got out of the car. He opened the back trunk and said chattily, "The road in your village is really difficult to drive on. What did you buy? It's so big?"

"Some fishing equipment." Xiang Yang took out his mobile phone and showed the other party the express number. After signing, he walked home carrying a large box of things.

It's quite heavy, mainly because there's an air compressor inside, which is heavy.

After returning home, Xiang Yang couldn't wait to open the package, put on a set of diving equipment, and quickly left home and walked towards the beach before his parents discovered that he was a "spendthrift".

If Xiang's mother knew that Xiang Yang bought something worth four thousand yuan without discussing it with his family, he would definitely be scolded. Xiang Yang planned to go to the bottom of the sea to retrieve the money before telling his parents about it.

It was not early at this time, and many children with big schoolbags could be seen on the road. When the children saw Xiang Yang's outfit, they were like they had discovered a new world. They followed Xiang Yang and surrounded him to see his curiosity.

They are all from the same village and these children are not afraid of people.

"Brother Xiang Yang, what are you wearing?"

"Brother Xiang Yang, what is that on your back?"

Xiang Yang was not impatient, and explained with a smile: "Brother, this is called a diving suit. When you put it on, you can swim under the sea like a fish. This on your back is called an oxygen tank. It contains compressed oxygen. With this tank, brother can breathe underwater like a fish."

Diving suits were too rare in a place like Yanlong Village. Even if the villagers knew about them, most of them had only seen them on TV. Gradually, not only the children, but even some adults in the village came over here.

When Xiang Yang saw this situation, he quickly quickened his pace. It would be okay if he was surrounded by children, but if he was surrounded by adults, especially fishermen, Xiang Yang would have no chance of escaping this morning.

Not long after Xiang Yang left, the village chief came over. When he heard the children chattering that Xiang Yang could breathe like a fish under the sea wearing that suit, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stared at the sea, smiling for a while, frowning for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In fact, the old village chief was overthinking.

Even if ordinary people have a diving suit and an oxygen tank and can breathe under the sea, it does not mean that they can dive as deep as they want.

Twenty-eight meters underwater is a hurdle.

Most people can dive to this depth with the help of a diving suit.

However, once the depth exceeds 28 meters, the terrifying seabed pressure will cause people to experience fear of darkness, as well as various discomfort symptoms such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, pain in the seven orifices, and even bleeding in severe cases.

Of course, Xiang Yang didn't have such concerns. With the jade shell, Xiang Yang seemed to be born to belong to the sea. No matter how deep the seabed was, Xiang Yang would not feel any pressure.

At this moment, Xiang Yang swam to a sea area far away from Qinglong Bay, where he was walking under a sea area that was more than a hundred meters deep.

There might be occasional fishermen rowing over here to cast their nets on the surface of the sea, but the seabed is a pure land that has never been developed by humans.

Xiang Yang walked on the seabed and looked at the scenery. From the topographical point of view, this seemed to be an underwater plain with raised peaks on both sides. Various sea fish swam in groups on the seabed. They were brightly colored, including white sea fish, yellow sea fish, red sea fish, and those with colorful stripes. They were bright and beautiful, more beautiful than butterflies.

In addition to marine fish, there are also a variety of marine plants on this seabed, including kelp floating like ribbons, abundant seaweed, and various algae. This thriving scene almost dazzled Xiang Yang, and he couldn't bear to set foot here and break the tranquility here.

Among the countless seaweeds and seagrasses, there are groups of swimming crabs running rampant, shuttling between the seagrasses, scaring away schools of marine fish.

The big sea turtle with four legs as flat as fish spines paddles its limbs leisurely, nibbling seaweed here on the seabed and opening its big mouth to scare the domineering swimming crabs there.

Even more so are the scallops, which are so densely packed that they almost cover the entire seabed.

Scallops are probably the last on the entire marine food chain. Many shrimps and crabs depend on scallops for survival. The edible part of this scallop, called Chlamys farreri, contains extremely high levels of protein and tastes delicious. However, due to its large yield and the fact that it can be artificially cultivated, it is difficult to sell it for a good price.

The most common way to eat scallops at the seaside is to add oyster sauce and sauce and cook them with rice noodles. The moment they are taken out of the pot, the unique fermented flavor of the sauce, plus the fragrance of the scallops from the ocean and the mellow flavor of the rice noodles blend together to definitely increase your appetite.

Resisting the urge to drool, Xiang Yang continued walking on this underwater plain. A sea turtle as big as a millstone saw Xiang Yang and swam towards him curiously, stretching its neck and rubbing Xiang Yang's arm affectionately.
