It has been a week since the last time we went out to sea. People like Wang Yunzhou and Jia Gui have rested for a long time and are now ready to go.
Although Zheng Gan hadn't rested for the past few days, he was very eager to go out to sea to cast a few nets, mainly because the money in his card was almost gone.
As soon as the money from the fishing competition arrived, he transferred it to his father-in-law Qiao Zhengdong to repay the money he had spent on buying the boat.
The balance in the bank card was less than 200,000 yuan, and this was because Lin Hao paid his 20%, otherwise it would have been even worse.
With less than 500,000 yuan in his pocket, he always felt insecure, so Zheng Gan made every effort to set up a net and even took diving equipment with him so that he could go down and pick up some fish in case there were no fish. The first few times he came here, he often saw a lot of things on the seabed.
In the past, I had money and didn’t mind this, but now it’s no longer the case. No matter how small a grasshopper is, it’s still meat.
"Brother, take me with you next time you go fishing." Jiang Feng, who had just returned from Yunnan, said somewhat resentfully. He had been bored at home for several days and was extremely envious when he heard that someone had caught a monster fish weighing over 500 kilograms.
"What can you do with your half-baked skills and small body? Let's see when you grow to 150 pounds." Zheng Gan glanced at Jiang Feng, who was as thin as a stick and said.
Indeed, Jiang Feng was about 1.8 meters tall. Although his living conditions had improved recently and he had gained a few pounds, he was still relatively thin. The 500-pound giant grouper could easily drag Jiang Feng down.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng secretly made up his mind to eat more from today on. Otherwise, he would not be able to enjoy such a pleasant thing, which would be a big loss.
While the few of them were chatting, Zheng Gan had been observing the situation around him. Over time, he had discovered that there were fewer and fewer fish in the sea. In the one month since the sea was opened, the marine resources on their side had clearly declined a lot.
"Uncle Wang, please stop for now." Zheng Gan said on the intercom.
Another morning had passed, and he hadn't cast a single net. A lot of fuel had been wasted, so he planned to dive down. There was a high ground where they were now, and the bottom was only about twenty meters deep.
"Agan, I don't think we need to take this risk." Wang Yunzhou said with some concern, "It's actually normal to come out with nothing."
Zheng Gan had already put on half of his gear and said with a smile, "It's okay, Uncle Wang. We've been down there many times before. It won't be dangerous."
Wang Yunzhou was still worried after hearing his words, but he was just an employee after all, so he could only keep reminding the two to pay attention to safety issues after entering the water.
"Brother, I will also learn to dive when I go back this time." Jiang Feng felt that he was really like a burden. He could do nothing but help with odd jobs every day, and the white-collar salary was so high.
"Okay, once you learn it, your brother Hao and I will take you down with us." After Zheng Gan said that, he put on the oxygen mask, then turned over and entered the sea, and Lin Hao followed behind him.
The two of them went down and soon arrived at their destination.
Zheng Gan observed from the map that there were a huge number of red dots nearby. Although they were very small, there were too many of them and they were so densely packed that he was very curious about what they were, so he chose to go into the water to take a look at this time.
He pointed in the direction ahead, motioning Lin Hao to follow, and then swam forward. When they reached the designated location, the two saw a shocking scene.
What came into view was actually a bed of conch shells.
What is a conch bed? It's the familiar sight of giant conchs forming a bed-like spectacle, meaning that everything you see is densely packed with giant conchs.
All the men who have gone to the sea know that large conch is one of the seafood that basically all sea-goers like. For example, when the young author goes to the sea, his goal is to catch large conch.
For example, Zheng Gan picked up a large conch weighing dozens of kilograms in the second chapter, and that was because he had the help of a plug-in. Legend has it that someone in the village picked up a large conch weighing more than 60 kilograms and was directly deified.
But this conch bed, or rather conch mountain, weighs a thousand kilograms, judging by the naked eye? Or two thousand kilograms? Or even more?
The current purchase price of large conch in the market is about 20 to 30 yuan, depending on the size.
The large conches they saw were all very large in size and should be able to be sold at a very high price.
Zheng Gan and Lin Hao looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes, and then began to pick them up excitedly. Although these large conches were not as valuable as those brought in by hauling a net of fish, it was still very satisfying.
In ten minutes or so, the net bags they carried were full. You should know that the net bags they carried could hold sixty or seventy kilograms.
Carrying the full conch quickly back to the boat, you need to make several trips back and forth before the oxygen tank runs out.
"So many big conches." Wang Yunzhou was a little surprised when he saw the big conches lying on the deck.
Zheng Gan took a deep breath. "That's nothing. There's so much stuff down there. It must weigh several thousand kilograms. Uncle Wang, quickly find some large nets or bags. Let's continue down and drive the boat about two hundred meters ahead. This will save time."
An oxygen tank is enough to sustain an hour in the sea, so they specially prepared six.
When Wang Yunzhou and his friends heard that there were thousands of kilograms of conchs below, their eyes instantly turned red with jealousy. Unfortunately, none of them had learned how to dive, otherwise, if several people went down together, they would probably be able to catch all the large conchs below.
After changing the net bag, the two went into the water again. Because the distance was closer, they arrived at the conch bed in less than five minutes this time.
In this way, the two of them went back and forth between the boat and the conch bed. In three hours, they each brought up more than a dozen bags of large conchs.
"Huff, huff, huff." Zheng Gan and Lin Hao lay on the deck very tired. The three-hour round trip almost killed them with exhaustion.
"Brother, you two are really awesome. You dragged up more than 2,500 kilograms of conch from the bottom of the sea, and almost every one of them is huge." Jiang Feng exclaimed.
Zheng Gan was so tired that he didn't want to talk, but he was thinking in his mind. He had been thinking about whether to put all the large conchs he harvested today in his own sea farming area.
But after careful consideration, I decided to give up. Tourists in the sea-hunting area can just use smaller conchs, so it’s better to sell these.
It was getting late, so the two took off their equipment, rested for a while, and then started to eat lunch.
