Chapter 298
Originally, he only thought about whether he could catch a few small lobsters, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected joy.
Wild sea cucumber is "sea ginseng," the king of all tonics. Ancient books record that sea cucumber, wild cordyceps, mountain ganoderma, and forest deer fetus are collectively known as the "four natural immortals."
Ye Yaodong threw the sea cucumber in his hand into the bucket containing seawater, and by the way, grabbed all the small lobsters that were running away and put them in. These small lobsters were also very fat, with their tails curled up, and each one looked like it was four or five liang.
There were also a few fish caught together on the deck, including 3 nine-section shrimp, which were quite large, as well as sea bass, turbot, sole, small ray, and a few small colorful striped coral reef fish. Seeing that they were still alive and their mouths were constantly moving, he released them directly.
"I'll clean up, you continue to collect the ground cages." Ye's father urged him happily and sorted all the fish on the deck into other fish baskets.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands and straightened up, "Alright."
He grabbed one end of the rope and continued to collect and wring the ground cages. He collected the second ground cage very smoothly. Through the fishing net, they all saw the small lobsters crawling around inside.
"There are several more small lobsters."
The wrinkles at the corners of Ye's father's eyes smiled into several deep gullies, "Good, good, good, these fish are also not bad, untie them first..."
As soon as the fish collection bag was loosened, it scattered all over the floor again, but this time there was only one sea cucumber.
"I don't know how many years these sea cucumbers have grown. Each one is quite big, and the thorns on their bodies are also thick and strong."
Wild sea cucumbers grow in the deep sea area. Due to the tests of water pressure, ocean currents, tides, etc., plus the need to rely on their own predation, the amount of activity is large, and the sea cucumber thorns become thick, short, and powerful.
Sea cucumbers also mainly depend on whether the thorns are thick and strong. Only those that are thick, large, and powerful indicate good vitality, so the taste and nutritional value of such sea cucumbers are high.
Farmed sea cucumbers have a short growth period and do not need to prey for themselves. The water for farming is shallow, the pressure is small, the environment is relatively quiet, and there are no natural factors such as tides, so the thorns of the sea cucumbers become slender.
What he caught was, of course, pure wild. After holding it in his hand, rubbing his thumb back and forth several times to play with it, he counted the sea cucumbers and small lobsters again.
The second ground cage caught 1 sea cucumber, 3 small lobsters, and five or six nine-section shrimp. Not to mention those fish, after having a count in his heart, he handed it to his father to organize, and he continued to collect.
However, when pulling, he found that he couldn't pull it anymore.
"Oh? Done, it was really hooked?"
"Hooked?" Ye's father put down the cargo on hand, walked to the side of the ship, tried to pull it, and found that it really couldn't be pulled.
【Recommend, the source-changing app for chasing books is really easy to use, download. huanyuanapp here, everyone can try it.】
"What to do? I was worried that it would be hooked and couldn't be pulled up, and it really got stuck. I've only collected two..."
Ye Yaodong had expected it long ago. After all, there were hidden reefs underneath, and it was normal to be hooked.
He calmly turned around, took out the diving equipment he specifically brought at night from the small cabin, as well as a self-made net bag, "I'll go into the water and take a look."
Ye's father watched him skillfully take off his coat, put on the mask and air tube, took off the solid hard plastic block in the foot cover, took off his shoes and put them in, only feeling amazed. Why does Dongzi have everything?
"This... can you do it with these? Is it useful? When did you buy it? Can it work? The deeper the water, the stronger the pressure..."
"Don't know if it works, I'll try to see how deep I can dive first. There are hidden reefs underneath, and there was a shipwreck some time ago, it shouldn't be very deep."
These were obtained from Lin Ji, and there was English on them, so they shouldn't be too bad.
After doing a few simple warm-up exercises, he jumped into the water amidst Ye's father's earnest instructions.
He was not in a hurry to dive down, first trying to swim in the shallow water for a while to get familiar with it, and then testing the tightness of the mask and whether the fins would easily fall off during swinging.
Feeling that there was no problem, after adapting, he dived to the bottom.
Last year, there were no tools, and he only dived about ten meters before feeling that the air pressure was a bit high, so he uncomfortably floated up. This time, he felt it was okay.
Slowly swinging the fins, he dived about five meters. The visibility of the seawater here was quite good, and the light underwater was still relatively sufficient. He could clearly see the small fish and shrimp swimming sporadically around.
Looking down, he could barely vaguely see a sunken ship tilting, with the bow facing up, close to the hidden reef.
He continued to dive toward the direction of the seabed hidden reef and the fishing boat.
Diving to about ten meters on the seabed, he felt it was okay, without any discomfort. Sure enough, he still had to rely on tools.
Although the underwater landscape around this depth was not very clear and felt a bit gray, the light was still very bright, and there were more large fish swimming around, just not in groups, but swimming sporadically.
Just at this time, two sea bass, one large and one small, were coming toward him. The large one was five or six jin, and the small one looked like it was about three jin. It was a pity that he didn't have handy tools to catch them, so he had to skip them.
Seven or eight mullet were also swimming on the front left at the same time. He also avoided them and continued to dive further down.
Don't know how deep he dived again, estimated to be about thirteen or fourteen meters. He didn't feel any discomfort on his body, so he boldly dived down toward the hidden reef around the fishing boat.
Not far away, he saw small lobsters swimming around, as well as a small group of nine-section shrimp, miscellaneous small fish, and a ground cage stuck on the reef next to it.
Found the target, he was immediately overjoyed, swinging his fins and swimming toward the reef.
Just as a small lobster was swimming toward him, he didn't want to miss the things delivered to his door for nothing. He grabbed it by the way.
Seeing it struggling hard, its antennae moving wildly, its body constantly curling and releasing, and curling again, attempting to escape, but Ye Yaodong would not let it run away.
He happily put it into the net bag at his waist and stretched out his devil's claws toward the nine-section shrimp around.
The small group of nine-section shrimp were scared and scurried around. He used both hands at the same time, but only caught two.
After putting them into the net bag, he didn't continue to catch them, but first moved the hooked ground cage from the hidden reef to the side, so that it would be convenient to pull it up after going ashore later.
There were several small lobsters crawling in the ground cage. He was not in a hurry to catch them out now. It would not be too late to untie them after pulling them up later. His net bag still had to hold other cargo.
The hidden reef next to it was densely adsorbed with a pile of sea snails and abalone, and there were also a few small lobsters and small fish swimming through the gaps from time to time. These made him excited.
He caught the small lobsters he could reach first.
Catching lobsters should be done from the back, because they swim backward by flicking their tails.
Because there were reef gaps all around and the space was small, as long as the hand could reach, it was still easy to catch. He caught three in a row, one ran away, and others were too deep in the gaps. Without handy tools at hand, he couldn't reach too deep.
Still too little experience, otherwise bringing a small hand-held net would also work.
Scanning around again, he didn't see any small lobsters. He looked at the distance from the bottom, thought about it, and dived a little further down to let his feet touch the ground first.
As for the abalone huddled on the reef, he was not in a hurry to dig them for a while. These couldn't run away.
Don't know if this area was because it was near the sea, or because the bottom shell had moved, the seawater was not very deep. He estimated that it should be only ten meters or so from the sea surface here.
Under his feet was fine soft mud and sand, and there were also various stones of all sizes on the side. Scanning the surroundings, except for the sound of water, it felt a bit scary, but fortunately, there were quite a lot of seabed creatures around.
Large pieces of seaweed and kelp swayed in the water, some fish swam around the seaweed, and small pieces of coral reefs grew not far away. Small lobsters and coral reef fish were interspersed among them.
This seabed was not as colorful as imagined, nor were there groups of fish surrounding him, but it looked prosperous.
He searched carefully around, only to see a sea cucumber hidden in the dense seaweed in front. He moved his steps, pushed away the low seaweed, grabbed the motionless sea cucumber, and cursed secretly in his heart.
"Hidden so damn tightly, almost skipped it. Fortunately, I have fiery eyes and golden pupils."
Putting the sea cucumber in his hand into the net bag, he suddenly saw another one hidden under the mud and sand at his feet. The thick short thorns on its back were exposed to his eyes.
Trying to dig with his hand, he really dug out another one.
He slandered again, "Fortunately, my eyesight is good, this can also be dug out by me."
Wearing fins under his feet was inconvenient for him to kick the mud and sand with his feet. He simply skipped the one at the bottom and caught the small lobster hiding in the seaweed first.
Don't ask him how he knew there was one in the seaweed. The reason was that two long antennae were exposed outside the emerald green seaweed. He could be sure with his butt that this was a lobster's antennae.
Watching these slender branches and leaves swaying with the seawater, suddenly his brain was uncontrollably and strangely singing.
Seaweed, seaweed, swaying with the waves...
Seaweed, seaweed, dancing in the spray...
His body shuddered instantly.
This song was too demonic.
He shook his head, expelled this demonic divine song from his mind, stepped forward and pushed away the lush water grass. The small lobster was startled by his action and was about to escape. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed to grab the antennae.
But just as his hand touched the antennae, the seaweed stirred, and the water around the middle of the seaweed immediately became turbid like dust.
Bang, it actually hit his thigh, and instantly drilled through his crotch again.
He turned his head to chase, only to see it escape into the seaweed cluster again. Afraid of being run away by it again, he approached carefully. When it was about to escape again, his five-finger mountain pressed down quickly, and finally grabbed its body.
"Still want to run after being found by me, no way..."
All this stemmed from his psychological activities. Who wasn't an old boy?
This one was quite large, looking like seven or eight liang.
Regardless of its struggle, he put it into the net bag at his waist again.
