He knew about mantis shrimp and often ate it, but he had never seen one this big. He didn't know what it tasted like, but he thought it must be delicious.
Zheng Gan felt like drooling when he thought of this.
"Let's rest for a while and then continue going down. I see quite a few holes like this." Zheng Gan lit a cigarette and said as he smoked.
According to the nature of the map, today's harvest should be these large mantis shrimps. He has also concluded that as long as the red dots shown on the map are in groups, it can be basically confirmed that they are all the same species.
Zheng Gan now suspects that these seafood were specially arranged on the map.
"In fact, there are special tools and methods to catch giant mantis shrimp, but I didn't expect to find them here, otherwise the efficiency could be improved a lot." Lin Hao fiddled with the giant mantis shrimp and felt a little regretful.
The method Lin Hao mentioned was the method used by old fishermen in the past. First, make a simple fishing rod, hang a hook on it, tie a slipknot, and hang some bait such as squid on it.
Then I found some large Coke bottles and cut the tops off them. In the early days, I used small cans. Then I made a tripod.
After finding the shrimp hole, insert the fishing rod into it and block the hole with a large stone. It won’t be long before the big mantis shrimp will be caught.
"I didn't expect Brother Xiao Hei to have such a wide range of knowledge."
"Haha, look at that confused look on the handsome boy's face. It's obvious that he's a newbie."
"He's a novice, sure, but you can't stand his good luck. I wouldn't be surprised if he found a box of gold at the bottom of the sea one day."

The audience in the live broadcast room didn't expect Lin Hao to be so experienced. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and they started to criticize Zheng Gan.
"Next time we have a chance, we will use Brother Xiaohei's method to catch fish and show it to everyone." Qiao Xin kept interacting with fans in the live broadcast room.
After resting for about half an hour, the two changed oxygen tanks and continued diving.
The main target is still these large mantis shrimps, especially those with full roe, which are Zheng Gan’s main target. Their price is several times higher than ordinary ones.
There was no way to communicate underwater, and the two of them were completely absorbed in their work, so time flew by. Just in case, they agreed with Qiao Xin to come out of the water after 40 minutes.
"Huh." The time was up, Zheng Gan climbed onto the boat first, gasping for breath. He still couldn't adapt to the pressure underwater.
Lin Hao was fine. He came up, took off his equipment and started to sort out today's gains.
These mantis shrimps cannot be released casually. Their two front claws are very strong and a flick will leave a bruise on their bodies.
"Brother, there are 23 in total, 10 of which are full of paste. Each one weighs more than one kilogram, and some even weigh more than two kilograms." Lin Hao reported today's situation.
"It's another wonderful day." Zheng Gan was very happy. The harvest could be sold for more than 20,000 yuan. Although it was not a big harvest, it was already very good.
Moreover, the number of viewers in Qiao Xin's live broadcast room has reached five to six thousand, and the number of fans is constantly increasing. Now Qiao Xin can earn two to three thousand yuan just for one live broadcast.
The edited videos also have a high number of views, and even some small brands have started contacting her to advertise with her.
After a simple packing, the three of them drove the boat back to the dock, and then took all the large mantis shrimps to the Xiaohai Village branch of Dongqiang Aquatic Products.
"Brother Gan, Brother Hao, and sister-in-law, you are finally here." Xiao Yu was so excited that tears almost fell when he saw the three of them coming.
Zheng Gan was not at home a few days ago, and his branch had no big business at all. There were only some seafood brought by villagers from the village, and the performance was very poor.
"How's business?" Zheng Gan asked with a smile.
"Don't mention it, brother Gan. I almost starved to death when you were away visiting relatives these days. I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time." Xiao Yu really wanted to go up and give Zheng Gan a hug.
To be honest, Wang Dongqiang's main purpose of letting him stay here was to train him, and secondly to serve Zheng Gan. In Wang Dongqiang's eyes, Zheng Gan was a bit weird and could find any rare things.
"That's too exaggerated, but it just so happens that there is something interesting today." Zheng Gan said as he poured all the large mantis shrimps he caught today into the breeding pond.
Xiaoyu rubbed his hands excitedly while looking at the breeding pond. People said it was a good thing, so it must be good. Besides, he could get it done even if he just brought some sea cucumbers and abalone.
Even though he dealt with seafood every day, he still screamed when he saw the things in the breeding pond.
"Fuck, this is a giant mantis shrimp. Can we catch such a rare thing? And it's so big? And it's full of fat?" Xiao Yu was shocked, but he carefully picked one up and measured it. It was as long as his forearm.
"Calm down. You were the one who sent the yellow croaker with us, and you haven't been so excited." Zheng Gan didn't know how miserable his life was in Xiaohai Village these days, and he joked.
"My brother, you are really a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. If you hadn't sent these big mantis shrimps here today, I might really have to go to the village to beg for food." Xiaoyu's eyes were full of tears.
"Okay, after you finish settling the bill, just get excited here by yourself. I have something to do later." Zheng Gan dodged Xiao Yu who wanted to come over and hug him, and said quickly.
"You're not an outsider. Ordinary large mantis shrimp are 350 yuan per pound. The ones with full roe are 1800 yuan per pound. Is that okay with you?"
Wang Dongqiang said that Zheng Gan must be given the highest price when he comes to sell things, so Xiao Yu naturally would not go against his boss's wishes.
"Okay, then weigh how many there are."
"Well, ordinary large mantis shrimp weigh 19 jin in total, which is 6,650 yuan in total. The ones with full roe are 14 jin and are yuan in total, so the total is yuan." Xiaoyu quickly quoted the price.
There was definitely no problem with this price, and it was even a little higher than they expected. After sending the account number to Xiaoyu, Zheng Gan and the other two left the Dongqiang Aquatic Products branch. He planned to go to his old house to check the progress and find out when he could start decorating.
"Uncle Hong, it's a good thing you're here. When can I start decorating here?"
It just so happened that Lao Hong from the construction team was here, so he didn't have to make a special phone call.
"Agan, I heard he went out to visit relatives?" Lao Hong was quite satisfied with this boss and didn't care about anything. "You can ask the decoration company to come over in the next few days to take a look and come up with a plan. If there are any changes that need to be made on our side, we can do it together."
