Chapter 163 Giant Scallop



After reaching the bottom of the sea, Zheng Gan headed straight for the nearest gathering place of red dots.

Now that the sky is clear outside, the visibility on the seabed has improved a lot. With the help of the waterproof headlamp, basically everything around here can be seen clearly.

Because it was still daytime, the fish on the seabed were very alert and there was no way to catch them. Especially when a large grouper escaped from his sight, he was very angry.

There was no other choice, so Zheng Gan had to take Lin Hao to the red dot gathering area.

The area they came to was a sandy beach on the seabed. As soon as they arrived, they saw super large scallops everywhere. Although they were not densely packed, they could pick up two with every step, which was a considerable number.

Pointing at the big scallop and then pointing in a direction, Lin Hao nodded, made an OK gesture, and went in another direction.

Zheng Gan recognized this kind of large scallop, called Hokkaido scallop, which is also a common type of scallop here. However, most of these scallops on the market are farmed.

The Hokkaido scallops in front of us are purely wild, so the price is much higher. Moreover, they are all very large, basically each one is the size of a palm.

The price of scallops of this size is very considerable. The selling price in the market is basically 80 to 90 yuan per catty, and the purchase price is about 60 to 70 yuan.

As a side note, the kind of scallops that Zheng Gan picked up often appear in high-end restaurants and are sold individually. Some can even be sold for one or two hundred yuan each, so if we want to eat them, it is better to buy them online.

The Hokkaido scallops were all lying on the beach at the bottom of the sea. The way to get them was very simple, just pick them up one by one. The net bag they brought was the largest one, and it could weigh about 60 to 70 kilograms when it was full. In less than 20 minutes, they were back on the boat.

Jiang Feng, Jia Gui and others on the boat saw people emerging from the water, and hurried forward to drag the scallops up.

Time was running out, and the oxygen tanks could only provide oxygen for three hours at most, so the two men did not get on the boat. They just brought the scallops up and then continued to work on the seabed.

Jiang Feng untied the net bag and poured all the scallops onto the deck to start sorting them. Working on both sides at the same time could save a lot of time.

"It's amazing that we can pick up so many large Hokkaido scallops on the seabed." Jia Gui exclaimed in amazement. Small Hokkaido scallops are not uncommon, and many can often be caught when trawling out to sea, but such large ones and such a large number are extremely rare.

The others nodded in agreement, and at the same time, they admired Zheng Gan even more. Except for Jiang Feng, everyone present had been a fisherman for decades, but they had never seen anyone have such good luck every time they went out to sea.

If Zheng Gan knew about these ideas, he would definitely start to have wild thoughts again, and might even plan to use the air force a few times to reduce suspicion.

Three hours passed quickly, and the oxygen cylinders they brought were almost exhausted. Zheng Gan and Lin Hao were extremely tired at this time. They lay on the deck gasping for breath, and even had to ask others to help them take off their equipment.

"Brother, these giant Hokkaido scallops weigh a total of 760 kilograms." Jiang Feng came to report the situation after weighing them.

Seven hundred and sixty kilograms, which means that two people went up and down in the sea at least ten times. No wonder they were as tired as dogs.

"Yeah. Let Uncle Teng bring out some for lunch so we can try them." Zheng Gan was already hungry. With such good food, he had to enjoy it first no matter what.

Besides, more than 700 kilograms of scallops can be sold for at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. What's wrong with eating and drinking a little? Then we can continue to play music and dance.

When he had almost rested, lunch was ready. There were large scallops with vermicelli in garlic sauce, and steamed eggs with sea urchin. These were picked up by Lin Hao from the sea. There were not many, only about twenty or so, and he picked them up simply because he was greedy.

What was left was some ordinary meat and stir-fried vegetables, and the staple food was rice. After being hungry for half a day, everyone ate like crazy and cleaned up everything in no time.

"I was thinking of raising a dog on the boat, but now I think I'll give up." Wang Yunzhou said with a smile.

It is true that many ships have dogs. They not only keep you company, but also watch over the ship. Many places even say that having a dog on board will ensure your safety at sea.

"Just get one." Jiang Feng likes dogs very much. His family was poor before and he didn't have the conditions. But now when he hears about getting a dog, his eyes light up.

"People feed their dogs leftovers. Do we have any leftovers?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Isn't it true? The table was full of empty bowls and plates, and there was almost no need to wash them.

"It's okay to raise one, just for fun. It's just a mouthful of food, we can afford it." Zheng Gan liked dogs quite a bit, and seeing that Jiang Feng really wanted a dog, he agreed.

"But after you get the dog, you're responsible for its food, drink, and toilet."

Jiang Feng nodded happily, indicating that this was no problem at all.

"It just so happens that my neighbor's big wolf dog gave birth to a litter of puppies, and he's worried about where to raise them. It's a good opportunity for me to go and get one back," said Wang Yunzhou.

"Everyone has eaten and drunk enough, let's clean up and get started." Today's task of going online has not been completed yet. Everyone has eaten their fill and rested enough, so Zheng Qian started calling everyone to get ready to work.

Just like before, Zheng Gan sat at the bow of the boat and opened the map to find a place to cast the net, while the others found their own work.

Although the typhoon has passed and there are obviously more things in the sea, there are still few groups of things gathering together, and they are not that big. It feels a bit of a loss to cast a net at this time.

Zheng Gan even thought about getting a bottom net next time. There are still a lot of things on the seabed, but the bottom net also has many disadvantages. The things that come up are too mixed and there is a lot of garbage. It is a waste of time and energy to sort them out.

At this time, he missed the little killer whale very much. If only the little killer whale was his pet, he could ask its clan to help drive away the fish, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, that was the halo of the protagonist of the next novel, and Zheng Gan was not given one.

"Agan, there is a fishing boat parked sideways ahead. I wonder what's going on." The voice from the walkie-talkie woke Zheng Gan from his fantasy.

"Fishing boat?"

Under normal circumstances, fishing boats in this sea area are always moving forward, and rarely stop, except for those like them who stop to dive.

"Huh?" Zheng Gan took a look at the map and was stunned for a moment.
