Chapter 178 Space Level 25 (Part 2)
A long-tailed sea bream appeared, but perhaps our luck had run out, as all we found in the net were dead fish and small fry.
I thought I could find some treasure in the fishing net, but in the end the only valuable thing was a long-tailed sea bream.
This fish can be sold for two yuan and thirty yuan per pound at the fishery station, but restaurants in the city welcome fishermen to bring these high-end, rare and precious fish to sell, and the price is generally more than three yuan.
Zhang Ze gathered the fishing net and put it aside, preparing to throw it away after returning to shore.
At this time, Jin Sanbao and his companions suddenly became excited.
"Here it comes again. It's a long-tailed bird. It's quite big."
When he heard the long-tailed bird, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly went over to take a look.
But when he saw the size of the pink fish on the water, he knew that the fish in front of him was not a long-tailed bird, but a red diamond fish, also known as a large-mouthed sea bream.
The long-tailed sea bream is not that big. Including its long tail, it is probably only about 70 to 80 centimeters at most, but the fish in front of us is over one meter long.
Sure enough, when the fish was pulled closer by Jin Sanbao, Zhang Ze saw the difference from the tail.
Both fish have swallowtail-shaped tails, but the longtail snapper's tail is longer and more pointed, with the top part slightly longer than the bottom.
The tail of the largemouth sea bream is simply scissor-shaped, which is not very beautiful.
"It's really big, at least 40 kilograms!" Jin Fan and Chen Xudong worked together to help lift the fish up.
"It's really big!" Zhang Ze has fished for largemouth sea bream before. The yield of this fish is quite high, so although the meat is delicious, it is two or three times cheaper than long-tail sea bream. Therefore, the market price in later generations is around 70 to 800 yuan per catty.
But the largest fish he could catch at that time was only about ten pounds, and he had never seen one weighing more than forty pounds.
Jin Fan even went to get out a large beam scale and a ruler to measure the length of the largemouth sea bream, which had little energy left after coming up from the deep sea.
It measured 1.03 meters, just over 1 meter.
Afterwards, Jin Fan and Chen Xudong weighed the fish with a beam scale. They first weighed a bamboo basket with the beam scale, then put the fish in and weighed it again.
The total weight minus the weight of the bamboo basket is the weight of the fish, which is about the same as Zhang Ze expected, about 43.7 jin.
This fish has a broad back and a fat belly. It is heavier than a bass but lighter than a grouper of the same size.
Seeing that the fish was dying, Zhang Ze quickly said, "You guys continue to help, I'll send the fish in first."
Chen Xudong: "Let me help you!"
"No, it's only over 40 kilograms. I can handle it by myself." Zhang Ze waved his hand to refuse. How could he secretly put the fish into the space to gain experience points if someone followed him? Then he quickly used a cart to take away the big-mouthed sea bream, the long-tailed sea bream in the bucket and other small fish, and sent them to the cold storage cabin.
The moment he entered, Zhang Ze put all the fish into the space. These fish had lost much vitality due to lack of oxygen and water pressure, but they recovered a lot soon after entering.
But Zhang Ze doesn't need them to be alive. After all, it is a bit exaggerated to send deep-sea fish to the shore alive in this era. It is better to freeze them.
Zhang Ze did not bleed the fish. These fish are not like bonito. They are generally steamed when eaten in Nanguan. The price is the same whether they are bled or not. If they are not bled, they will at least be heavier.
Anyway, Zhang Ze will go back tomorrow, so these fish can still remain freshest.
After an hour or so, the two longlines on the deep water side were all pulled up.
In terms of the number of fish, the fishing spots here cannot be compared with those in the trench.
The two longlines yielded 217 deep-sea fish and 196 deep-sea fish respectively.
However, these deep-sea fish are much more valuable. Even if the number is half of Zhang Ze’s, the total value is much higher.
But they were competing in quantity, so Jin Fan, who proposed the bet, lost in the end and had to treat everyone to a meal when he returned.
"Alas, my luck is a bit bad. I have 21 fish less than Abao." Jin Fan sighed, and finally decided to turn his anger into appetite, and said, "Are you hungry? I'll ask Adong to make a midnight snack later."
After working for so long, everyone was naturally hungry.
Zhang Ze's mind moved: "Wait a minute, let's go collect the ground traps and shrimp cages and see what we can get. If there are lobsters and crabs, I'll show you my skills then."
Jin Fan was surprised: "Oh, Aze, you can cook too?"
"My cooking skills are not as good as Adong's, but I know how to make a seafood noodle dish that's delicious. How about I tell Adong how to make it later and let you do it." Thinking of Chen Xudong's cooking skills, Zhang Ze felt that he was still careless and shouldn't have shown off his skills.
"Okay, then let's collect the shrimp cages first, and you can teach me how to make them when the time comes." Chen Xudong nodded in agreement.
Then Zhang Ze drove the boat to the location where the ground traps were placed, lowered the rubber boat, and called someone to help retrieve the ground traps and shrimp cages.
There are also disadvantages to having a big boat, as it is difficult to pass through shallow areas.
Zhang Ze went over to collect the five shrimp cages first, picked up the float and grabbed the rope to retract it. As soon as the shrimp cage was lifted up a little, a smile appeared on his face. It was a bit heavy! While pulling the rope, he said to Jin Fan who was following him: "Afan, you hold the fire tongs and be careful. There might be sea snakes in the shrimp cage. If there is one, you can use these fire tongs to catch it and throw it back into the water."
"Why throw it away? Sea snakes are good for your health and they are very nutritious to eat! Don't be afraid, I'm here to make sure that the sea snake can't bite you!" Jin Fan immediately became energetic after hearing about the sea snake.
In this era, eating what you need to nourish your body is popular, and you know about sea snakes! Zhang Ze's mouth twitched, but in his heart he was also looking forward to having a sea snake.
Don't get me wrong, he was simply looking forward to Chen Xudong's cooking skills.
The shrimp cage was quickly pulled onto the rubber boat by Zhang Ze. Jin Fan turned on the flashlight and shone it inside with his left hand.
"Wow, there are so many lobsters, but no sea snakes."
"Really? It looks like there are good lobster resources here."
Zhang Ze was very pleased to hear that there were so many dense-haired lobsters. The few lobsters he had originally stored in his space had long been eaten up, so it seemed that he could replenish them later.
There are also more types of South China Sea lobsters, and you can try different types.
The five shrimp cages were collected one by one, but unexpectedly, two blue-ringed sea snakes really came.
Jin Fan was very skillful in catching snakes. The two snakes were like toys in his hands and he could handle them easily.
The rubber boat was not big, and the space was full with two people and five small shrimp cages. Zhang Ze rowed back first, took the things to the big boat, and then collected the cages.
Jin Sanbao and Chen Xudong were also very happy to see the sea snake, as it gave them an extra dish for their midnight snack.
They took all the lobsters in the lobster cages and put them into the live water tank, and picked out the four smallest ones to eat later.
Zhang Ze continued to collect the traps, and the harvest was much more than he had imagined.
It is crab season now, and we have swimming crabs, orchid crabs, and red flower crabs.
The big ones are two or three pounds and fat, and they are the most delicious to eat.
What surprised Zhang Ze even more was that there were actually spotted mantis shrimps here, which have the same texture as a zebra and can grow as big as a forearm.
Unfortunately, the number was not large, only about ten kilograms in total were caught.
Moreover, the shrimps were very ferocious. They killed many crabs and even killed each other.
There were so many crabs that we had to bring all the traps aboard to sort them out. It took more than an hour to finish.
It is difficult to store them in the live water tank, so the most numerous common swimming crabs can only be placed in bamboo baskets and frozen in the refrigerated tank.
Once the shrimp cages are collected, the ingredients for tonight's midnight snack will immediately be rich and varied.
Zhang Ze selected some spotted mantis shrimps, four large-mouthed sea breams weighing a little over one pound, four deep-sea rock snails weighing half a pound, two sea snakes, and four red flower crabs that were spitting out sand while soaking in water.
If they weren't all big eaters, they might not be able to finish so much food.
After Zhang Ze taught how to cook seafood noodles, Chen Xudong immediately made some improvements based on what happened that evening.
Cook the seafood in a large pot and the noodles in another large pot.
Several people each held a large bowl in their hands, made their own seafood soup and seafood, and then ate noodles from the clear water pot.
You know what, it’s a lot easier to make and still tastes great.
It was already past twelve o'clock when they finished. Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan washed the dishes and pots, while Zhang Ze and Chen Xudong came to the cab.
He was going to sail out to find deeper waters and let down the last two longlines.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This time, Zhang Ze's boat sailed a little far from Hailing Island. The water area of about 200 meters was easy to find, but the location where the fish gathered was difficult to find.
It took him another forty minutes to finally find a spot that looked good.
There is a large red area at the bottom of the fish finder, and there are a lot of fish. It looks no worse than the previous two fishing spots, but we have to fish first to know the specific situation.
After two extension ropes were lowered, Zhang Ze and others finished their work for the day and went back to take a shower and sleep.
After returning to the room, taking a shower and lying on the bed, he finally had time to observe the situation in the space.
After collecting the long ropes, he found that he had enough experience points for upgrading, but he was too busy to pay attention to it.
Zhang Ze was quite curious about the upcoming level 25 reward. He chose to click on the upgrade, and the space immediately underwent new changes.
[Fishing Space (Level 25)]
[Experience: 0/25000]
【Function: Magical bait, growth】
【Space size: 250 cubic meters】
[Fishing experience: 1276]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully reaching level 25, reward: Physical Aura (three months)]
"No more? What happened to the two choices?" Zhang Ze waited for a long time, and when he saw that there was only one limited-time reward, he was quite speechless. He had a choice before, but now he didn't even have the right to choose? But there was only one reward, and he had no choice, so he could only check the effect of this physical aura.
[Physical Aura: The host can bind up to five people. The bound people will be affected by the physical aura and slowly improve their physical fitness, including resistance, resistance to injuries and diseases, etc. within a limited time. Note: The host can enjoy the aura effect without binding. ]
Ah this When Zhang Ze first saw this halo, he wondered if it could be used by outsiders. He didn't expect it could be used, but he didn't expect there was a limit on the number of people.
Also, what is the rate of slow improvement over three months?
However, no matter how Zhang Ze asked, the space did not give an explanation.
Finally, he could only use this function to add the status of his family members. When he chose to bind, some people immediately appeared in his mind, and the first one was his relatives.
Zhang Ze did not hesitate and immediately added his mother Zhang Huihong, two younger sisters, daughter-in-law and Zhang Wu.
As soon as I clicked OK, another prompt popped up in the results space.
[It is detected that Tong Shuyao is pregnant, and the physical aura will simultaneously improve the baby's innate health. 】
Zhang Ze was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that it could also affect his children.
In this way, when the child is born, he will definitely grow up healthy.
After all, physical aura can also enhance resistance and resistance to injuries. Children with poor physical constitutions are prone to colds, fevers, and even other more serious diseases. Having fewer such situations can make their parents feel more at ease.
But Zhang Ze didn't know that because of the improvement of the child's physique, Tong Shuyao would suffer a lot in the future.
Although this reward was not direct enough, it made him very satisfied.
When he started his life over again, he wanted his family to live a good life, but the prerequisite for a good life was to stay healthy.
The night passed quietly, and at 6:30 the next morning, the Duoyu became lively again.
Chen Xudong went to the kitchen to make breakfast, Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan reeled in the longlines, and Zhang Ze was still responsible for delivering the fish into the cabin.
"Wow, I got it right, the first sub-line is so heavy!"
"The struggle was so loud, it felt like there was something big going on!"
When the fish was pulled to the surface, Jin Sanbao and Jin Fan were both surprised, because there was a rare grouper lying on its side on the water, and it was about 70 to 80 centimeters long.
"The first sub-line is like this, are you serious?" Jin Fan couldn't help saying as he pulled the fish up with the hook.
"Haha, it's still a grouper!" Zhang Ze was not so excited when he saw the longtail sea bream, but he laughed for some reason when he saw the grouper.
Maybe this fish has a big, chubby mouth and looks particularly pleasing.
Jin Fan quickly took out a deflation needle and wanted to deflate the deep-sea grouper.
Zhang Ze saw that the fish stomach was vomited to his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
It is right to deflate, but not for this kind of deep-sea giant grouper at a depth of two hundred meters.
This kind of thing basically cannot survive and will be chilled or frozen.
So he stopped Jin Fan and took the fish away. The fish had to go through his hands, otherwise the experience points would be wasted.
"Aze, this time when I went out to sea with you, I've really gained some insights. There are really big fishes everywhere in the sea out there!" Jin Sanbao said with emotion.
Originally he was still undecided and was considering whether to sell the ship.
But Zhang Ze's harvest here has made him determined to buy a big boat, even if it means selling everything he has! Generally speaking, where grouper appears, there will not be only one.
Next, in addition to some deep-sea fish, groupers also appeared one after another. There were no particularly large ones, but most of them were between five and ten kilograms.
Both longlines were pulled up, and there were more than thirty groupers. Zhang Ze's income this time would definitely not be less.
"I've been so envious of you these past two days, Abao, do you want to buy a boat?" Jin Fan was so envious when he saw so many fish caught.
"Buy it. Even the Lord can't stop me from buying the boat this time!" Jin Sanbao said firmly.
