Chapter 524 Amazing Price

Huh~!Huh~!Huh~!

After the big fish was pulled into the boat, Lao Ba gasped for air. He really used all his strength to pull the fish up.

This fish looks a little strange. It is very different from ordinary fish. It looks like a bat with two broad "wings".

The strangest thing is that it also has a long tail.

Lao Ba didn't bother to rest for a while. Although he was out of breath, he quickly turned the fish over and revealed a terrifying face.

Ke Xin became frightened the moment she saw it, and quickly got into Mu Qing's arms and shouted: "Sister, I'm so scared, this fish is so scary."

"It's okay. Don't worry, it's already dead. It won't hurt anyone."

Mu Qing saw that the fish was motionless after getting on the boat, so she guessed that it was no longer dangerous.

"It's dead, but there is still a risk of hurting people. This is the devil fish I told you before. Look at its face and its wide body. Does it look like a devil?"

Lao Ba quickly and carefully pulled out a long spike from the base of the manta ray's tail, shook it for everyone, and then threw it into the sea.

"This is the manta ray. Don't tell me, it's a bit scary like this, but it looks pretty beautiful from the back."

Chu Yunfeng came to a "beautiful" conclusion, making Kexin stare at him, and he was a little suspicious of his aesthetics.

"That's how this kind of fish is. You have to be very careful when catching it. If you are stung by the spikes on the tail, you really have to go to the hospital right away.

That's why I didn't ask you to help pull it out just now. If you are not careful, you will hurt someone. "

This is the reason why Lao Ba would rather put in more effort on his own than let Chu Yunfeng help. If Chu Yunfeng falls or something, it is not impossible to be stung by a fishbone.

"Hmm~! Good guy, I'm afraid it weighs more than 30 catties. It can be sold for a lot of money. I think it can be sold for at least 1000?"

Chu Yunfeng had learned a little bit about the price of fish here before. Aconite is usually about 20 yuan per pound, golden drum eel is about 40, black sea bream is about 60 and so on.

And this manta ray is estimated to cost 30 yuan per catty, and for such a big one, the price may be a little higher, so it can easily cost thousands.

"Haha~! I won't tell you yet, but you will know how much it can sell for when I return to Hong Kong."

Lao Ba smiled mysteriously, and then continued to close the net. This made Chu Yunfeng a little helpless and extremely curious. Could it be said that it could still be sold for thousands?
After the net was collected, no big cargo appeared again, but two swimming crabs did come, but no blue crabs were seen.

“Myna, why can’t I catch blue crabs?
By the way, why is there no octopus? "

Chu Yunfeng asked curiously. Chu Yunfeng was deeply impressed by the delicious blue crabs he tasted yesterday. No wonder they were more expensive than other crabs.

Moreover, Chu Yunfeng heard Lao Ba say before that he would have time to catch octopus another day.

Octopus?
I originally wanted to ask Lao Ba what an octopus is, but then I thought about it, isn't this an octopus?
So I kept muttering in my mind. Is there any special way to catch this octopus?
“It’s hard to catch this octopus with a net, but you can sometimes catch some in ground traps.

It's actually very simple to catch it. You don't even need bait, you just need to make a nest for it. "

Lao Ba answered while arranging the fishing net, and looked at the time. It was almost 12 noon now, so he had to rush back.

"Making a nest?
How to do it? "

Chu Yunfeng felt that it was extremely novel, and catching octopus seemed to be quite interesting.

"Octopuses like to get into closed spaces, so as long as you throw some bottles or cans down, it will automatically get in, and then you can pull up the bottles and cans.

There are tied bottles at home. If you want to catch them, we can find time to release them in the afternoon. However, it takes a long time to harvest more. We usually only collect them once a week.

Then just stay here for a week and go out to sea with me more to experience the life of a fisherman. "

Lao Ba knew that Chu Yunfeng would only stay here for three days, so he did not arrange an octopus catching experience before, but asked him to go to the underground cage.

"Forget it then. Let's try it again when we have the opportunity in the future. By the way, can the eel cage be placed in the afternoon tide?"

Rather than catching octopus, Chu Yunfeng wanted to place an eel cage.

I watched Lao Ba’s video before. This eel cage can not only harvest eels, but also harvest a lot of bread crabs.

Yes, it’s bread crab.

Chu Yunfeng was speechless. Bread crabs in mainland supermarkets can be sold for 200 yuan per catty, but no one wants them here in Bago even for 5 yuan per catty.

What makes Chu Yunfeng most angry in the video is that the starling often throws the bread crabs directly back into the sea. Chu Yunfeng roughly estimated that the baskets of bread crabs were worth 3000 to [-] yuan.
"Okay, in the afternoon we will go to the beach to pick up conches and see if we can catch some crabs and fish.

By the way, do you want to compete again in the afternoon? I won’t refuse anyone who comes, myna. "

Lao Ba seemed to be a little addicted to the competition and continued to invite Chu Yunfeng.

“Better, go to the beach, it’s just luck, right?

I don’t have as much experience at sea as you do, so I think I can defeat you at sea. "

Chu Yunfeng was full of confidence. No one could predict this matter of luck. What if he was lucky and encountered a bunch of overseas goods?

I happened to take Kexin to pick up shells and see if I could pick up a conch or something to give to Mu Qing.

"That's great. It seems like I can taste your craftsmanship again tonight."

Lao Ba laughed happily. If the bet was lost, Chu Yunfeng would have to show off his cooking skills and make delicacies for everyone with the seafood he caught.

"No problem. Let's go back and find a restaurant later. I'll cook a delicious meal for everyone, but tonight, myna, you might have to come."

Chu Yunfeng was quite confident about catching the sea in the afternoon and looked forward to showing off his skills.

"Okay, then let's see who is more capable. Let's go back to Hong Kong."

Lao Ba waved his hand and drove the boat towards the dock.

After the boat docked, people immediately gathered around. Lao Ba kept the crabs and better fish, and gave the rest to the fish sellers.

"This fish is pretty good, isn't it? It's rare to see such a big fish. How much does it cost per pound?"

After the manta ray was weighed, it showed that it weighed 36 pounds. Chu Yunfeng pointed at it confidently and asked, believing that he would be able to hear a very happy price.

"Manta ray costs 5 yuan per catty, and this fish costs 180 yuan."

As soon as the boss spoke, Chu Yunfeng was stunned and looked at Lao Ba with a confused and disbelieving expression.

"This kind of fish is like this. The price is not high. The yellow manta ray is a little more expensive and can be sold for 15 yuan per catty."

Lao Ba laughed honestly, making Chu Yunfeng realize that in many cases, these seafood products cannot be judged by their size alone. The price is not high, and they cannot be sold at a high price.
