252. Chapter 250 Shanghai Island, Coconut Crab



"Hey, Aze is here?" After Tong Yuanhang and his companions finished their work and returned to the island, they saw the Duoyu docked.

Jin Sanbao was smoking on the deck. When he saw them coming over, he gave each of them a cigarette: "You stayed up late to get here, and you are sleeping now!"

Tong Yuanhang paused, then continued to light a cigarette for himself: "Is that so? I was planning to ask him where he had been these past two days, but now I'll wait until he wakes up!"

After the sun moved from high in the sky to the west, Zhang Ze finally woke up.

I went to the deck and stretched, and there was a crackling sound on my body. The sea breeze blew and I suddenly felt refreshed.

"Bomb, four twos!"

"Haha, look at my king bomb!"

At this moment, he heard Tong Yuanhang's excited voice. Zhang Ze turned around and saw that his trawler was next to Duoyu. The six of them were divided into two groups playing Landlord.

"Oh, you are laughing so happily, you must have won a lot?" Zhang Ze walked over and leaned against the side of the boat and said with a smile.

"Hey, Aze, you're awake. Do you want to play?" Tong Yuanhang asked after turning around and seeing him.

"No, come to my boat after you finish fighting. I'll have good stuff for you later, and everyone will get a share." Zhang Ze waved his hand and walked straight into the cabin without waiting for them to ask any more questions.

"Hey~ Why are you walking so fast? What good stuff are you talking about?" Tong Yuanhang looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Jin Sanbao on the opposite side quickly covered the cards in his hand on the table and messed them up: "Come on, Aze said there is something good for us, let's go and take a look."

Chen Xudong also put down his cards silently without any objection.

Because he and Jin Sanbao were both farmers, they were about to lose.

"Fuck you, Sanbao. I'm going to win." Tong Yuanhang looked back and saw that the cards were all messed up. He almost went crazy.

But after a while, they still arrived at Zhang Ze's cabin living room.

Tong Yuanhang, who originally had a resentful look in his eyes, almost popped his eyes out when he saw the six shotguns on the table.

"Fuck, Aze, where did you get all these trolls and peanuts?"

Chen Xudong, who is usually quiet, had a similar expression at this moment. He has been trying hard to find channels to deal with trolls.

Although this aspect has not been banned in the mainland, the management is very strict, so he has not made any progress at the moment.

Who would have thought that such a short time had passed and Zhang Ze had gotten so much.

“This is just a coincidence.”

Zhang Ze did not hide what happened at sea, and told them the key points.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood, especially Chen Xudong.

He said, since Zhang Ze can get the spray gun himself, why let him get it? "I just picked up nine. Here, each of you can have one. Each of you can have 50 peanuts first! I don't have many here. Ah Dong, you can continue to follow up."

"It would be best if we can get other spray guns. If we can't get any, then we can try to get more peanuts of this model."

"Having a shotgun is not enough. We need to practice shooting more targets, so that when something happens, we won't be able to hit the enemy even if they are right in front of us."

Zhang Ze handed the shotguns to several people one by one, and then told them the safety switch, how to install the magazine, etc.

All of them were fishermen and had never encountered a spray gun before. They all couldn't let go of the spray gun in their hands.

Zhang Ze's father-in-law knows how to use a spray gun, but because of a back injury and rheumatism, he has moved out of the fishing village to live in the city for his retirement, and now he rarely goes out to sea.

When Chen Xudong heard him asking him to continue making the spray gun and peanuts, he agreed without any further ado.

"Aze, how about we go to the island to play? Maybe there are pheasants or something. Let's try to hunt them then?" Jin Sanbao suddenly suggested.

"It's a bit late now, how about tomorrow?" The sun was about to set, and it would be dark in a short while if we went to the island, and we wouldn't be able to see anything by then.

Although there were flashlights on the boat, the light they provided was not bright enough.

"Then we'll set off tomorrow morning. This island is quite large, and it will probably take quite a while to find some prey."

After a few people made plans, they had dinner here in the evening and then went back to work.

Zhang Ze was not idle at night. He found a good fishing spot and started fishing.

And just before going to bed, they would release the thousand-pound giant grouper, slaughter it, and send it to the cold storage compartment using a crane.

He will sail back after returning from the island tomorrow, so it's just the right time to take the fish out now.

If Jin Sanbao and his men also go back with him tomorrow, he will have no reason to take out the fish.

He took out all the deep-sea fish that needed to be refrigerated in the space, and soon the space in the cold storage compartment was filled up, which meant that his harvest this time was very good.

There are also quite a few fish in the space, but these can all be sent back alive, so he plans to put them into the live water tank when he is almost at the fishing village.

After fishing for a whole night on the island, Zhang Ze still felt that fishing in Dongsha was more fun.

The fish are big and plentiful, and they are all top quality.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Ze brought Xiao Hei and drove the trolling boat to the island.

Of course, he also carried a shotgun and a crossbow.

If the shotgun fails to hit the prey, you can also use a crossbow.

After a while, Jin Sanbao, Tong Yuanhang and his group also came onto the boat.

However, they did not bring their dogs, mainly because the dogs they bought were small and are currently on the boat.

When Jin Sanbao arrived on the island, he found Zhang Ze staring at the broken shells next to the coconut tree, so he went over and asked, "Ze, what did you find?"

"Indeed, there is a discovery. Everyone, spread out and look around. If you find a large crab that looks a lot like a spider, remember to tell me." Zhang Ze said as he gestured to compare its size.

"A crab that looks a lot like a spider?" Everyone was confused, but they still obediently dispersed to look for it.

Zhang Ze looked around a few coconut trees and when he didn't find anything, he walked towards the bushes near the pile of fruit shells.

As soon as he came in, he spotted a giant coconut crab hiding in the bushes.

There is a small space here, which seems to be its nest.

Zhang Ze picked up a dead branch and reached in to test the coconut shoes, letting it get stuck.

The coconut crab would definitely fight back if provoked, and the dead branches were placed in its claws, so it immediately clamped them down.

Zhang Ze seized the opportunity and immediately pulled out the coconut crab with a dead branch, then grabbed it by pressing its back with his hand.

This coconut crab is very big, at least seven or eight kilograms.

Domestic coconut crabs are mainly produced in southern Taiwan and the South China Sea islands. In the 1980s, not many people knew the edible value of this thing, so there are a lot of them now.

They were almost eaten to extinction in China, but that was later.

Unfortunately, the coconut crab is a land crab. Although it originally lived among seafood, it has now adapted to life on land. It will drown if it stays in water for a long time, so it cannot be stored in space.

Otherwise, Zhang Ze really planned to clean up the islands in the South China Sea. Catching a coconut crab king is much easier than fishing for a king fish.

At this moment, Jin Fan's voice came: "Everyone come quickly, is this the big spider that Aze mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, several people hurried over. When Zhang Ze came out carrying a coconut crab, Jin Sanbao immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

"Is this giant spider really a crab?"

Zhang Ze nodded: "It's genuine and tastes pretty good."

Jin Fan, who called them over, came out with a coconut crab that was smaller than the one he had.

"This thing is not difficult to catch! It's just that the pincers seem to be very powerful. The feeling of being pinched by it is no joke." Jin Fan showed off the coconut crab in his hand and sighed.

Zhang Ze pointed to the fruit shells beside him and said, "Look, those coconut shells are their masterpieces. Getting your fingers pinched or your bones broken is no big deal."

"Hiss~"

Everyone gasped and looked at the coconut crab with much more vigilance.

Jin Fan trembled all over and almost threw the coconut crab in his hand away.

He just reached out to grab it, and if he got caught accidentally, his hand would be broken.

"Aze, you just said that these coconut shoes are delicious, is that true?" Tong Yuanhang felt a little greedy when he saw such a big crab.

"It has to be real, but you have gout, are you sure you want to eat it?"

"Isn't this something that crawls on land? Is it also seafood?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I don't know either, but I think it's best not to eat it if you have gout."

“.”

Tong Yuanhang was helpless.

Originally, he wasn't that greedy, but after he was diagnosed with gout last time, he controlled his eating habits a lot and didn't touch anything that could cause gout.

He originally thought that the worst that could happen was he gave up seafood and alcohol, but he overestimated his tolerance.

He was not surprised that one would want to drink alcohol after not drinking it for a long time, but he did not expect that he would crave seafood so much after not eating it for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Ze had no choice but to say, "Okay, eat less at night. If you're really hungry, it's okay to eat some fish."

"Everyone keep grabbing some, and then you can take it home for your family to try."

After he said this, everyone dispersed again to look for coconut crabs.

Then, the coconut crabs on the island were in trouble.

The lack of natural enemies allowed them to multiply in huge numbers. In just half an hour, almost everyone had caught two.

Zhang Ze was lucky and found five of them directly. The smallest one weighed over five kilograms, and the largest one weighed over ten kilograms.

Jin Fan: "This is enough to eat!"

Jin Sanbao: "That's definitely enough. We won't just be eating coconut crab tonight."

The two men walked back with bamboo baskets on their backs. They would go up the mountain to practice shooting and hunting later, so the coconut crabs had to be sent back first.

Zhang Ze did the same. After returning to the boat, he picked out a fish weighing seven or eight kilograms to eat in the evening, and put the rest in a plastic basket to take back.

They didn't plan to come back at noon after they went to the island, so they each brought water, bread, and egg cakes to deal with lunch.

Gathering again on the beach, Zhang Ze did not delay any longer and took the lead towards the mountain.

No one has visited this island yet. It is not easy to go up the mountain, so you have to make your own way.

Zhang Ze was clearing the way ahead with a hatchet in his hand, and soon he was sweating all over.

But no matter how hot it is, you can't take off your coat. I haven't encountered any poisonous insects yet, but there are a lot of small insects, and it would be very uncomfortable if they touched your skin directly.

"Pheasants have been found on several islands before. I hope there are some here too!" Tong Yuanhang was a little discouraged after walking for more than an hour and finding nothing.

"It's not that there is nothing. At least there are a lot of seabirds." Tong Junqiang refuted him.

Jin Sanbao pointed at the seabirds flying in the sky and suggested: "Why don't we practice with seabirds first?"

"You should practice on that big tree first!" Zhang Ze pointed to a relatively sturdy tree in front and said, "You haven't even practiced on a fixed target, and you want to go straight to a moving target?"

"Aze, that's not what you said just now. You said you were going to find a pheasant to practice your shooting skills."

"But I didn't ask you to practice with seabirds in the sky. See if you can find a seabird habitat later. Then you can practice with seabirds resting in their nests."

"How about firing a few shots first? This big tree is also a good target. We should get familiar with the spray gun first!"

Zhang Ze thought that he hadn't found any prey for more than an hour, so he nodded and asked them to take turns firing a few shots to try out their skills.

Although he distributed some peanuts and asked Chen Xudong to continue looking for channels to buy peanuts, he still had a few hundred peanuts left, which was enough for him in the short term.

"I'll go first, I'll go first." Hearing Zhang Ze's agreement, Jin Fan, who had been unable to wait any longer, came to the front first.

The magazine was already loaded, he raised the pistol, aimed, and squeezed the trigger.

Everyone: “.”

There was no movement for a long time. Zhang Ze's mouth twitched and reminded: "Insurance!"

"Oh oh oh, yes, there is also a safety. I was wondering why I couldn't press it!" Jin Fan quickly turned on the safety, then aimed at the tree again and pressed the trigger.

With a "bang" sound, the recoil from the pistol made him raise his hand unconsciously, and as a result, the peanuts went nowhere.

"Oh my god, this spray gun is powerful!" Jin Fan was surprised. After turning off the safety, he shook his hands which were numb from the shock.

"So you need to adapt in advance, and then practice your accuracy." Zhang Ze did not go forward to practice. In fact, he had secretly practiced at night before coming, and his accuracy on fixed targets was pretty good.

When Jin Sanbao was about to go forward, Chen Xudong suddenly stopped him.

"Listen, is there any sound?"

"Hey, there seems to be a dog barking!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Hei, who was sitting nearby to rest, with a calm expression and was not scared by the trolls, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Jin Sanbao: "Fuck, there won't be wild dogs on this island, right?"

Jin Fan: "Maybe someone brought it up here."

Tong Yuanhang: "Let's go and take a look. If there are really stray dogs, we can have dog meat hotpot tonight."

After discovering that there might be other land animals on the island, everyone became interested and stopped practicing their weapons. They immediately headed towards the source of the sound.

This time it's Jin Fan's turn to lead the way. Zhang Ze can't do all the hard work, everyone has to take turns.

However, after walking for more than ten minutes, the golden sail in front suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jin Sanbao asked in a low voice behind him.

"There's a snake crawling!"

"Why don't you catch it quickly and make snake soup tonight!"

Tong Yuanhang was immediately excited. Although he couldn't eat too much seafood and crabs, he could always eat snake meat, right? Moreover, he was an expert at catching snakes. When he was a child on the island, he had nothing to eat, so he often went to catch snakes to satisfy his brothers and sisters' cravings.

When everyone looked forward, they actually found a snake as thick as an adult man's wrist.

This snake is not only thick, but also long enough, estimated to be more than two to three meters long. It should be a python. Ordinary snakes are not this big. (End of this chapter)
