Chapter 175 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish
An hour and a half later, the fishing boat arrived at the place where the cages were dropped.
Find the float.
The winch continued to work.
Fortunately, the winch was upgraded in advance, otherwise, the previous winch would have been scrapped when the red grouper was harvested.
“Crunch.”
The winch operates smoothly.
soon.
The first crab pot comes up.
"It's a blue crab!"
Kangzi shouted happily.
Among all crabs, blue crabs are the most valuable one and have very good sales. The last time we caught blue crabs, except for those in the hotel, all the others were bought by the vendor Lao Cai.
This time.
Once we get to the dock, other vendors should be able to get some as well.
Basically there are more than a dozen crabs in each round, but a small half of them are relatively small. They are picked out and thrown back into the sea. In the end, there are about 900 blue crabs left in the 100 crab cages.
They are all very big.
The smallest ones weigh eight or nine taels, and the largest ones are close to two kilograms!
"Two thousand pounds!"
"Three thousand pounds!"
Watching the winch working, Kangzi and Cai Ya clasped their hands together and prayed silently.
Heizi was speechless and thought it was good enough to be able to catch the tiger prawns.
He felt that it should not be a problem to catch the tiger prawns. After all, Ye Qing had placed the shrimp cage there.
After the baptism of golden grouper and red grouper, he also developed blind confidence in Ye Qing.
The first section of shrimp cages comes up.
It was filled with tiger prawns.
Kangzi shouted excitedly: "The cage exploded!"
"Fuck, it's too full."
"Do these tiger prawns regard the cage as their home?"
Ye Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was indeed exaggerated. There were at least more than twenty tiger prawns in a shrimp cage. He picked up a medium-sized one at random and weighed it, which was over half a pound!
Zhang Jun held up a tiger prawn and said, "This isn't even the most common tiger prawn!"
"I think most of them are red claw shrimp."
"It's so big and beautiful."
Cai Ya also said: "It's a red claw shrimp!"
"As expected, he is the king of tiger prawns."
"Red claw shrimp are more expensive. Normal sized ones can be sold for 150 yuan per jin. Our big ones should be sold for at least 200 yuan per jin."
Ye Qing took it and looked at it, but he couldn't see any difference.
This is just like distinguishing the colors of women's lipstick, it's hard to tell them apart.
He asked, “How do you tell the difference?”
Cai Ya said: "Look at the tail fan, tentacles and legs. The tentacles of red claw shrimp are only one color, and the legs are also red."
"Also, red claw shrimp are larger than ordinary tiger prawns. They are generally more than half a pound, and the big ones can weigh up to a pound."
A tiger prawn that grows to one pound is the size of an adult man's palm. When you bite into it, the meat is thick and rich, and one bite is enough to fill you up. You can imagine how delicious it is.
Ye Qing also laughed after hearing this.
He originally thought it was just an ordinary tiger prawn. The electric eel's eyesight wasn't very good, so he didn't look closely. He didn't expect it to be the most expensive kind of tiger prawn.
The luck that God gave him is really amazing.
Cai Ya shouted triumphantly: "I won, I definitely won."
Kangzi was also very happy: "Okay, you win."
Three thousand kilograms of tiger prawns, calculated at two hundred yuan per kilogram, would be more than six hundred thousand yuan, so he could get nearly twenty thousand yuan. It would be hard for him not to be happy.
Hei Zai was stunned: "Outrageous, too outrageous!"
Ye Qing quickly called out, "Heizi, don't just stand there."
"Come and help quickly."
"First put them into cages, then send them to the live fish warehouse."
"These tiger prawns are worth much more alive than dead."
Heizi quickly came to work.
After another hour of hard work, all the shrimp cages were collected. Basically, every shrimp cage had a harvest, which of course was thanks to the help of the electric eels.
Without electric eels, profits would be at least one-fifth less.
The electric eel is a perfect fishing partner for sea fishing.
"sail."
Ye Qing quickly asked Zhang Jun to drive the boat.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the fishing boat began to sway with the waves.
The sky has completely changed!
The sky had turned completely dark. Normally, the sky would be dark blue after dark, but now, it was as black as ink.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and making people feel heavy-hearted.
The fishing boat is moving forward rapidly!
The fishing boat was loaded with seafood, so it remained relatively stable even in strong winds and waves.
In the cabin.
Except for Zhang Jun who was driving the boat, everyone else was sitting around the table waiting to eat shrimp.
Everyone is so hungry.
I haven't eaten anything since lunch until around eight o'clock in the evening. I'm already starving, and now looking at the blanched, pan-fried, and grilled red-clawed shrimps in front of me, who can resist it?
Not to mention Heizi and the others, even Ye Qing was swallowing his saliva.
At this time.
Kangzi came over with a plate of chilled red-claw shrimp and shouted, "Let's eat some sashimi first to satisfy our cravings."
Everyone picked up a red-clawed shrimp, cut off the head and tail, and said it was sashimi, but in fact it had been blanched in boiling water. They broke open the shell and took a bite.
Hei Zai narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and shouted, "The meat is firm, tender and chewy, and extremely delicious!"
“That’s amazing!”
"Only fishermen can eat such fresh red claw shrimp."
Kangzi also exclaimed, "It's so fresh and sweet."
"This is also the first time I've had such fresh red claw shrimp."
Cai Ya also said: "It's my first time too."
Li Shi also nodded, indicating that it was his first time as well.
Ye Qing also took a sip and said, "Then let's eat as much as we want today."
Kangzi shouted excitedly: "Yeah."
“It’s so luxurious!”
"One hundred per mouthful, one hundred per mouthful."
Heizi nodded and said, "If outsiders knew about this, they would envy us to death."
Kangzi pointed to the sports camera next to him and said, "We have to let outsiders know. When we get home, we'll post everything online."
"I envy them so much."
"If you want to eat, come to Longwei Island, hahaha."
Heizi nodded: "Maybe it can really attract some gourmets."
"Brother Ye, I think you can also let some fishermen come to your fishing boat."
"I believe many fishermen would be like me, willing to work for you for free just to experience the explosion."
Ye Qing smiled.
That's impossible.
The reason why Heizi was allowed on board was because everyone could get along well and had similar interests, and Heizi looked like a down-to-earth person. If someone else wanted to get on board, Ye Qing would have to think twice.
He said, "You can eat it by blanching, pan-frying, or grilling."
There are no special seasonings, and the original method can retain the freshness, sweetness and tenderness of the shrimp to the greatest extent. Once again, it proves the saying that high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
He walked towards the captain's room with the red-clawed shrimp. Zhang Jun was driving the boat while eating, and his originally solemn expression relaxed a lot.
Ye Qing looked outside and saw silver-white lightning from time to time in the dark clouds. The waves hit the glass, as if to tear everything apart. The wind howled and made a sharp whistle.
The people watching felt depressed and panicked.
As we returned to Longwei Island, we could also see several returning fishing boats. These fishing boats probably had little seafood on board, so they were traveling at a relatively high speed and gradually disappeared into the night.
Ye Qing asked, "Brother-in-law, is the problem serious?"
Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem."
"At our speed, the heavy rain won't be able to catch up with us for a while."
"By the time we catch up, we'll almost be at the dock."
Ye Qing nodded. Although he was still nervous, he believed that Zhang Jun could bring the fishing boat back to the dock safely.
At worst.
He still has the electric eel to rely on, so nothing will go wrong.
…
West Village coastline.
The three fishing boats were in a corner.
Guan You looked at the dark clouds approaching and shouted into the intercom, "I think Ye Qing's fishing boat will be back soon."
“Get ready!”
"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. Let's make a big profit this time, and then we can enjoy delicious food and drinks in the future!"
soon.
A reply came over the intercom.
"good."
"Fuck him!"
