Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 6 6. Fishing Pier

The lobsters stayed quietly underwater, and their positions were almost the same as when he saw them yesterday.

This is normal. Although lobsters have strong mobility underwater, their mobility is very poor in deep water of fifty or sixty meters.

Splendid lobsters generally live in shallow water, with a maximum depth of ten meters. The water temperature at this depth is relatively high, and they are more active. At a depth of fifty or sixty meters, the water temperature is very low, and their activity becomes much worse.

As far as Ao Muyang knows, the deepest depth of the splendid lobsters found is about one hundred and fifty meters, but it is already very rare in the ocean below twenty meters.

These lobsters came to such deep waters to survive, resulting in a decrease in vitality and less food. The reason they came to suffer this hardship was obviously forced by humans.

The catch in the shallow sea area has been exhausted by fishermen day and night, and the splendid lobster group must have come so far to seek refuge.

Ao Muyang dived down and picked up a large lobster to take a look.

Big lobsters are very aggressive, with claws like pliers, but that's Australian lobsters and Maine lobsters. Splendid lobsters don't have such powerful equipment, so their attack power is greatly reduced. Moreover, the water temperature here is low, so they are less active and less aggressive. They can only surrender after being caught.

This is a very old lobster, with a 70-centimeter-long whisker on the top of its head, a body length of 40 centimeters, and a weight of about 4 or 5 kilograms. It is estimated to be 40 or 50 years old.

When a lobster reaches 20 centimeters, it can grow about 1 centimeter a year, and it stops growing when it reaches 50 or 60 years old. At this time, their lives are almost over.

The two big lobsters don't have many years to live, so Ao Muyang thinks it's better to help themselves live a good life. As for the small lobsters left in the shrimp group, he decided to let them go.

Everyone in the sea knows that you can't exhaust the pond to catch fish, but in recent years, the economy has developed too fast, and people have been dazzled by money, only caring about putting money in their own pockets, which has seriously damaged the marine ecology.

He tied up the tentacles of the two big lobsters with the rubber bands he carried with him. Their tentacles were too long, as if they had two nine-section whips on their heads. They had to be well protected. Once they were damaged, the price would drop significantly!

He didn't want to take away the two big lobsters for nothing. After thinking about it, he put his hand on a small lobster, then reversed the golden elixir and passed some water vapor to it.

By analogy, a total of 25 small lobsters all got some water vapor.

This was considered a barter. He took away the big lobsters so that the shrimps and their descendants would have stronger vitality.

He held a big lobster in each hand and floated to the surface with the power of his legs. As soon as Ao Muyang emerged, the general on the boat who was looking down was overjoyed. He immediately jumped into the water and circled around him in joy, licking his face with his tongue while turning.

Ao Muyang's face was itchy and he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I know you are happy, go back quickly, get on the boat, let's go change for delicious food."

There was a foam box he prepared on the boat, and he put a few frozen mineral water bottles in it, so that the lobsters could be put in and survive normally.

Poor general is a golden shorthair who is ignorant of everything. It saw such a big lobster for the first time and curiously used his claws to play with it.

Don't look at the big lobsters as honest as sweet potatoes on the seabed. When they are exposed to the sun on the sea surface, their body temperature rises and their vitality comes immediately.

As soon as the general got involved, they immediately raised their heads and took a fighting posture. Although they don't have strong claws like their distant relatives in Australia and North America, they are also heavy armored warriors, and their fighting posture is fierce enough!

Ao Muyang closed the lid of the foam box and floated on the sea with the sampan.

Half an hour later, he saw a fishing boat heading towards Hongyang, so he stood up and shook his clothes.

This is a simple flag signal at sea, which means that you need help from a fishing boat.

As the old saying goes, you can’t bully the mountains, but you can’t bully the water. Human power is too small for the ocean. If you want to survive at sea, you must unite.

Therefore, there is an unspoken rule among fishermen. If someone asks for help at sea, you must help without any reward.

As the fishing boat approached, someone asked, "Which village are you from? What are you doing?"

Ao Muyang said, "I am from Longtou Village. Are you going to Hongyang? Can you give me a ride? I'll give you a hundred yuan."

The man on the boat waved and said, "Okay, my cousin is from your village. I'll give you a cheap price. Come up for a hundred yuan."

Ao Muyang climbed onto the boat with the general and tied the sampan behind the boat. He was secretly shocked. In the past, it only cost 20 or 30 yuan to tow a sampan to Hongyang, but now a hundred yuan is actually a friendly price.

After a while, the Hongyang Wharf that he had just left yesterday appeared in front of him again.

This time they did not go to the shipping wharf, but to the fishing wharf.

Hongyang has one of the best ports in China and is also one of the top developed marine cities in China.

During the sea season, a large amount of seafood is delivered to the coast from here every day, and then transported to major cities by land, sea and air, and then delivered to thousands of households!

At this time in the morning, the long street behind the fishing dock has become a market, and both sides of the street are full of seafood vendors setting up stalls, clams, scallops, oysters, crabs, pomfret, yellow croaker, seaweed, etc., all kinds of seasonal seafood are available.

There are also lobsters, but they are rare and the price is very high. The price of less than one catty is 200 yuan per catty, and the price of one to two catties is 500 yuan per catty, and the price of two to three catties is thousands of yuan per catty.

Ao Muyang did not find the price of more than three catties, because it is rare to find lobsters more than three catties in the market, and there is no quotation.

Lobsters are sold in a concentrated area, together with the stalls selling sea cucumbers and abalone. Some food purchasing staff from hotels and government agencies often come and go. These are the real customers.

Ao Muyang carried a foam box and took the general to the lobster market. As he was walking, someone suddenly hit him with a scallop shell.

He turned his head and saw a young man with acne on his face laughing at him: "Hey, you are the kid from Longtou Village, right? Haha, do you still recognize me, your grandpa?"

Ao Muyang thought he looked familiar, as if he had seen him next to Wang Dongliang yesterday.

So he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm from Longtou Village, of course I recognize you, you're from Wangjia Village, right?"

The young man nodded proudly: "You have a good eye."

Ao Muyang said: "Brother Dou, you're too kind. Even people without good eyesight can recognize a famous person like Brother Dou. Your face is so distinctive."

The young man was stunned after hearing his words and said, "What did you call me?"

Ao Muyang didn't answer, and continued: "Brother Dou, what are you doing here? Oh, you also sell lobsters?"

The young man was not stupid, and he could naturally hear the sarcasm in his mouth, and he was immediately furious: "What did you call me? Are you looking for death?"

Ao Muyang looked at him pitifully and said: "Alas, Brother Dou, your deafness has not been cured yet? I know an old military doctor in Kyoto who specializes in syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS and deafness. Do you want me to introduce him to you?"

The customers and vendors next to them were very happy when they heard the two bickering, and there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

The young man was furious and picked up the fish knife to deal with Ao Muyang.

The general sensed his hostility and jumped out immediately. His golden hair stood up and he glared and roared: "Woof woof woof!"

At this time, a chubby middle-aged man came over and asked: "Whose dog is it? Hey, how much is this lobster?"
