Chapter 47 The Shocked Crew
It was almost midnight when Xiang Yang returned to Qinglong Bend with a whole boat of swimming crabs and big lobsters.
Once the crab is dead, it will immediately stink and cannot be eaten.
The swimming crabs caught on the shore must be sorted and cleaned up immediately. After Xiang Yang landed, he called the crew overnight to help clean the swimming crabs.
Captain, who called us here this late at night?
A group of crew members walked towards the pier in twos and threes. Although they didn't say anything, it could be seen that they still had some emotions in their hearts.
I caught some good things in the sea, and I need you to help me tidy them up. Xiang Yang smiled.
Chen Qingsheng took advantage of the moonlight to look at the fishing boat behind Xiang Yang, Hey, the draft is not shallow, it must weigh several hundred catties, right? What are the catches that must be sorted out now?
Xiang Chen also said: Ask a few people to carry it home, and call a truck to deliver it to Boss Zhang tomorrow, won't that be enough?
This batch of catches is of great use to me. Xiang Yang said with a smile, It's not for Boss Zhang.
Great use? What kind of catch is it? Captain. Many crew members became interested and pestered Xiang Yang to ask.
They're all swimming crabs. Xiang Yang didn't explain, Hurry up and unload the goods. After unloading, we'll go back and tie them up with hemp rope and pack them into boxes. Get everything done as soon as possible. Everyone works hard tonight. After I'm done, I'll treat everyone to supper, and I'll give each of you 200 yuan overtime pay.
hiss!
The crew didn't move, they all stood there with their eyes wide open, gasping for air.
Captain, do you mean that your boat is full of swimming crabs? Fang Youqun tremblingly pointed at the fishing boat behind Xiang Yang.
Chen Qingsheng was also shocked and said: This waterline, the captain of the swimming crab weighing more than 500 catties, did you catch it alone?
It's not all portunus. Xiang Yang said.
call.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Let me just say, how could someone catch more than 500 catties of swimming crabs in one night?
Unless it's the kind of bath crab on the beach that can't be picked up if you see one or two.
The crew became active at once, and it seemed that it was impossible to hold on to their beliefs.
Xiang Yang continued: In addition to swimming crabs, there are also dozens of large lobsters. These things are more valuable than swimming crabs. You should also tie up the pliers with hemp rope and pack them in a foam box.
What?
Everyone at the scene was petrified, and there seemed to be a row of sculptures on the beach.
Plop! With one foot on the pier and the other hanging above the sea, Chen Qingsheng, an old sailor who was about to jump onto the boat, stepped on the air and fell directly into the sea.
Impossible! Chen Qingsheng wiped the water from his eyes and shouted, We are not in Boston or Australia, how could we catch dozens of large lobsters in one night?
Xiang Chen also reacted, and said speechlessly: Brother Yang, when did you learn to brag?
What am I bragging about? Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, Hurry up, unload the goods for me!
The cabin was opened, and buckets of swimming crabs were removed from the boat by Chen Qingsheng. The eyes of several crew members who were in charge of responding at the pier almost popped out, as if they had seen a ghost.
For a moment, everyone felt that their faith had collapsed.
this?
this?
The expressions on the faces of several crew members were numb, and they mechanically moved the swimming crabs from the boat to the pier one by one, this, this, this non-stop.
It took a long time before someone finally screamed a complete sentence like a cat whose tail was stepped on, How is this possible?
Every crew member looked at Xiang Yang differently, worshiping, admiring, and envious. All kinds of inexplicable colors were mixed in it.
Why is this impossible? Xiang Yang pointed to the fluorescing impetuousness on the sea surface and said, The cold current is coming, the ocean temperature is dropping rapidly, and many fish are migrating towards the equator. I am also lucky. When I was diving, I happened to meet a group of shrimps and crabs chasing behind the school of fish.
Can it still be like this? Fang Youqun looked at the sea for a while, and Xiang Yang for a while, and said enviously, Why don't I have such luck?
You don't usually worship Buddha. Chen Qingsheng said casually.
Chen Qingsheng said it casually, but Fang Youqun listened to it, opened his mouth and said, I will worship Buddha every day from now on.
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, What's the use of praying to Buddha?
Ah, I'm superstitious, so I'll just make a joke, Captain, don't worry about it. Chen Qingsheng said repeatedly.
You have to add tribute. Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng: .
Fang Youqun: .
Xiang Chen laughed and said, Brother Yang, your luck is not a fault of yours. These crabs are not small, so you probably didn't catch all of them, right? Shall we take the big boat out and bring another one back?
Xu Fang's eyes lit up, Captain, let's go catch the absolute value, and the fish are moving south, so we can definitely catch another net on the way.
Everyone was very excited and looking forward to it. Although the puffer fish was caught for the first time in the sea, everyone was full of hope for the future, but in fact, the catch of only a few hundred catties in the second net was always stuck in everyone's heart. prick. In case puffer fish are caught in the net, it is only an exception. It is the norm to catch a few hundred catties every time you haul a net. There is no way not to be afraid!
Opportunities are rare now, if they can go to the sea to catch a batch of swimming crabs, then even if they don’t catch Xiang Yang for a long time in the future, they will be able to persist for a longer time. I also hope that Xiang Yang can make a fortune instead of being overwhelmed by the heavy gas bill.
Xiang Yang hesitated when he heard this.
That piece of sea area is not very far from Qinglong Bend, and it takes about two or three hours to get there by boat. Xiang Yang can drive in that direction for about an hour and talk about it, and then drive south on the pretext that the fish migrate very fast. It takes more than an hour to reach that sea area, and I am not afraid of suspicion.
But he only hesitated for a moment, Xiang Yang shook his head, The fish are migrating south, who knows where they are now? Where can we still catch crabs?
There are too many fish schools migrating in that sea area, and too many fierce predators are attracted. The swimming speed of ordinary crew members in the sea is far inferior to that of Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang has no choice but to consider the safety of the crew. .
Sea fish?
Swimming crab?
Lobsters?
No matter what, in Xiang Yang's view, it is far less important than the safety of the crew.
A whole boat of crabs and lobsters was transported back to Xiang Yang's house by the crew.
The crew used straw to tie each swimming crab and lobster tightly overnight, especially the rubber bands around the pliers.
After tying up all the swimming crabs and lobsters, the crew found foam boxes and put all the swimming crabs and lobsters into categories according to size.
