Chapter 328： Target: the open sea on the east side of Ryukyu Island

Sending the cat to Jiang Luoluo's studio, Chu Mingcheng thought about his target location and the time it would take this time, so he said, "Luoluo, this time I plan to visit the east side of Ryukyu Island."

"Zhao Jun is about to go to sea. Although the new captain has some experience, he has never been to far seas before."

"I'm going to help scout spots this time. If possible, I can help find some suitable fishing spots by the way, so there will be a delay in time, and I may not be able to come back for a week."

"Going so far? Why don't I accompany you this time?" Jiang Luoluo frowned when she heard that. She originally thought that Chu Mingcheng's trip to sea this time would be the same as before, and he would return within a week at most.

Now that the time is uncertain, she feels somewhat reluctant.

But she can't ask too much from Chu Mingcheng, which fisherman earns so much money by going to sea alone like him.

And basically have half a month to accompany her a month, even people who work normally, even if they live together every day, they may not have so much time to accompany her.

"This time you should stay at home and save more videos by the way. After I get familiar with the environment on the high seas, I will take you with me."

To explore an unknown place, Chu Mingcheng naturally would not bring Jiang Luoluo along.

The high seas belong to unoccupied sea areas, which are naturally much more dangerous than domestic sea areas.

Especially on the east side of Ryukyu Island, which is close to some countries in Southeast Asia, it is not impossible to encounter pirates.

But the probability is very low. The pirates over there usually appear on the only way of some merchant ships.

The high seas are too wide, and the chance of encountering ships is too low. Under normal circumstances, pirates want to make a living by robbing fishing boats, and they may starve to death.

However, fishermen in some other countries are also more hostile to domestic fishermen, and may not do some excessive things.

Chu Mingcheng is not worried about his safety, he will bring the killer whales with him.

In case the ship is destroyed in the worst case, then he has a way to survive and return to Xia City.

Of course, this is also his worst plan.

Jiang Luoluo didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he know the dangers he might encounter when going to the high seas, so he hugged him reluctantly.

After staying in the working room for a while, Chu Mingcheng left with the two dogs and headed for the pier.

Purchase food, replenish bait, fill up the oil, and tens of thousands of oceans are gone.

"The money is really worthless!" Chu Mingcheng looked at the balance of more than one million in his account and sighed.

Originally, he had accumulated more than 7 million yuan, but unfortunately Zhao Jun had almost spent enough to buy a boat.

It is estimated that there is not much left for the one million yuan. He still needs to buy two transport boats with refrigerated compartments to transport the catches of the fishing boats.

Walking around, I didn’t even see the foundation of the new house in Xiamen City, but I spent all the money I earned.

Fortunately, it is all investment, and it will slowly return to blood in the future.

But now Chu Mingcheng has also made up his mind, and now he will save money first, buy the house first, and put everything else aside.

When he set off, he knew that Zhang Wei was out of stock, and it was difficult to receive suitable seafood from others, so he made a special call to ask him to come to the pier to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow.

The main reason is that Chen Yang's side is not very strong, and he doesn't gain much every time he goes to sea.

Of course, he himself didn't care about the harvest of going to sea, and he regarded going to sea more as a date with his girlfriend.

Zhang Wei was relieved when he heard on the phone that he was asked to pick up the goods in three days.

Wen City is okay. Customers know that Chu Mingcheng's going to sea is very random and willful.

But he doesn’t know about the customer he just won in Xiamen City. Recently, he called him every day to ask if he had any seafood, and he was paralyzed when answering the phone. This is why he called Chu Mingcheng three times a day.

If you can’t get goods from him for a long time, others will naturally go to other seafood merchants to get goods, and customers will naturally lose at that time.

"Wow, woof woof"

At this time, Chu Mingcheng, after setting the route to the Crescent Island and letting the Poseidon automatically drive there, played with the two puppies in the cab.

Especially Xiao Heiye, who barked at him arrogantly, he resolutely put it down, and rubbed his hand on its belly vigorously.

"Let you be arrogant, dare to call me?"

Xiao Hei Ye didn't surrender either, his mouth kept chasing after his hand to bite, but every time he bit, he bit very lightly.

After all, Xiaowujin brought all of Chu Mingcheng's diving knives over, and it knew very well that as long as it focused a little, it would definitely turn into a pot of dog meat soup at night.

"You are really a sixth child!" After Chu Mingcheng teased Xiao Hei Ye, he touched the dog's head of Xiao Wujin next to him.

The pastoral dog is indeed smart and sensible, but the character of the sixth child also makes him dumbfounded.

Every time Xiao Heiye gets into trouble, Xiao Wujin will always come to complain immediately after seeing him or Jiang Luoluo, and put his paw on Xiao Heiye's dog's head.

After spending time with Gouzi, the Poseidon arrived at its destination around noon.

Crescent Island is still deserted, and there are still no traces of sea lions.

Obviously either they are cold, or they have already left, Chu Mingcheng has no hope that they will come here again.

He fed the dog lunch first, and then he also settled for his own lunch.

After going out to put all the shrimp pots down, he sailed to the nearby coral reef area and put down the five newly purchased longlines.

Finally, he had no intention of being idle in the afternoon, and sailed to a deep-water area a little far from the island, ready to catch deep-sea fish.

The sun is very hot today, Chu Mingcheng opened the sunshade device to block the direct sun.

Crescent Moon Island has a relatively complete variety of seafood. This time, she plans to let go and catch it, and then go hunting for tuna.

Zhang Wei has already rented a low-temperature refrigerated warehouse, no matter how much he catches, he can put it away.

Take out the two electric twisting poles in the boat and install them on the left side of the boat, that is, on the east side.

The sun will be almost in the middle of the sky, and the sun protection device will just cover the left and right sides.

But as time goes by, the sun will slowly shift to the west, so he simply chooses the east side in advance, and there is no need to change positions at that time.

But even so, Chu Mingcheng, who just stood outside for a while, was still sweating profusely and was terribly hot.

But in order to gain more, he can only endure.

But I still wish I had a row of big ice cubes around me to cool myself down.

"Huh? Cool down!"

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he had a good idea in a flash.

So he quickly took out the blue plastic boxes on the boat that can be used for fish and water, but unfortunately there are only five.

The main thing is that he usually puts his catches in foam boxes. It is more convenient to put the catches in a foam box when he sells them. Therefore, these plastic boxes are used less, so he doesn’t buy more.

The foam boxes on the boat must be filled with fish in the past two days, so Chu Mingcheng can only make do with these five plastic boxes first.

Each one was filled with water, and then moved one by one into the empty refrigerated cabin with only bait.

Wait until it freezes into ice cubes, and then take it out and place it by your side to cool down.

Good job, Chu Mingcheng returned to the fishing position and continued fishing.

Under normal circumstances, even if you catch deep-sea fish in such hot weather in the afternoon, the fish mouth may not be ideal.

Fortunately, the level of the high-quality aquatic products illustrated book has reached level 19, which has increased the chance of biting the hook by 19%, so the harvest is also good. Basically, there will be a fish in five or six minutes.

The electric winch was working all the time, Chu Mingcheng held the water pipe in his hand, every time the electric winch pulled fish, it would soon become hot, and he had to use water to cool down.

Soon, an orange-red Shi Jiugong was caught.

It was also the first time for Chu Mingcheng to catch Shi Jiugong of this color.

He looked at the aquatic product illustration book and found that this fish is a high-quality fish, and the value of that catty is at least one hundred yuan.

Moreover, this orange-red Shi Jiugong is not small, about 30 centimeters in length, and weighs more than one and a half catties, or even two catties.

Chu Mingcheng recalled for a while, and recognized the origin of this fish.

The fishermen generally refer to this kind of Shi Jiugong as the deep sea Shi Jiugong, but he really can't tell whether it is a viviparous Swimbladder or a Hessian Swimbladder.

Mainly, these types of swimbladders are too similar in appearance. Many marine organisms of the same family and genus require DNA identification to determine their identity.

But Chu Mingcheng doesn’t need to know that much detail, as long as he knows that he has no swim bladder.

There are not many such deep-sea fish in the market, and the price is not fixed. You can set a suitable price according to the market.

For business, it’s normal for customers to bargain when asking the price themselves, as long as you don’t feel like you’re losing money.

These swimbladders caught in 300-meter-deep waters are basically cool when they reach the surface of the water.

Chu Mingcheng untied it carefully so as not to be accidentally stabbed by its dorsal fin, and then put it into a foam box covered with crushed ice.

This fish is a bit soft to the touch. I heard that the fish meat is very delicate and delicious. It is better than ordinary grouper and comparable to Jinji fish.

Of course, the fat content of anchovy is definitely not as good as that of kingfish, so the price is also lower.

In the afternoon, I could hear either the dog's ha-chi-ha-chi, or the sound of the electric winch pulling up the cable. It was very pleasant, but the only drawback was that it was too hot.

The sweat that flowed out wet all the clothes on Chu Mingcheng's body.

It was about five o'clock before he reeled in the line, but the rod continued to be mounted on the side of the boat.

If the longline harvest is good, he will not go fishing and hunting at night.

With an electric twisting pole and a longline, the catch may not be much less than other fishing and hunting. Compared with fishing, fishing and hunting are much more troublesome.

Chu Mingcheng first counted the catches of the afternoon, and found that there were quite a few swimmers. They weighed a total of more than forty-three catties.

Secondly, red friend fish, octopus, sea bream, general armor, and long-tailed sea bream were also caught.

The quantity is not much, but the combined weight has reached more than 132 catties. It is already a good harvest in such a hot afternoon.

Chu Mingcheng’s current mentality adjustment is also top-notch. Every time he feels that he has gained little, he thinks about those air force guys.

Every time I think of this, Baba is very pleased~~

Start the boat and go back to Crescent Island first, and collect the five shrimp pots.

The shrimps in the afternoon were not very active, and the five shrimp cages only weighed more than 100 catties.

Pick out the small ones and throw them back. There are only 87 catties of tiger prawns and 22 catties of Fugui shrimps left.

Chu Mingcheng is still not disappointed about this. Whether there will be a big harvest, the key point still depends on when the shrimp pots and longlines are collected at 12 o'clock at night and tomorrow morning.

So he continued to put the shrimp cage back, and then sailed to the coral reef.

The harvest of the five longlines was similar to what he had imagined. Each longline had one hundred hooks, and the average harvest was more than 20 hooks, and none exceeded 30 hooks.

But because of the size of the hook, the small fish caught are only about one catty, and the big ones are only seven or eight catties.

Several hooks were slightly bent. It was obvious that a big fish had come, but it was just broken free.

One afternoon, the harvest of the longline reached 372 catties, among which the fish that were still very vigorous were put in the live water tank by Chu Mingcheng.

After finishing the work, I tidied up the longline, hung up the bait and put it back again. It was already dark.

Chu Mingcheng simply settled his own dinner, fed the dog, and then caught coral fish on the coral reef.

The two electric twisting poles work automatically, and he also took out a lure pole.

Now that the sky is getting dark, Chu Mingcheng has not dived himself, so he has no plans to take the dog to swim.

If a shark or a particularly large grouper comes, it will be troublesome if the dog is swallowed by then.

As the temperature dropped, the sea breeze at night also became a bit cooler.

The fish on the coral reef also came out to look for food one after another, full of aggressiveness.

The lure rod in Chuming City is relatively soft, so the fake bait is not big, and I didn’t want to catch too big fish.

He stood next to the electric twisting pole, tied the bait and shook his wrist lightly. The bait flew out more than 20 meters with a "swoosh~" and landed in the area of ​​the coral reef.

After that, Chu Mingcheng tapped the tip of the pole continuously, and at the same time cooperated with his right hand to take up the line.

The first rod did not yield anything, but it has attracted the attention of some fish.

It’s just that the electric twisting pole next to it made some movement, so Chu Mingcheng had to press the button first, put down the lure pole and wait for the fish to be pulled to the surface.

The water area is not deep, only about forty meters. Under the vigorous recovery of the electric winch, a grouper snapper less than forty centimeters soon appeared on the water surface.

In the past, Chu Mingcheng would have been a little excited to see such a big porpoise, but now, there is no emotion!

Because the water is not deep, this porpoise is very vigorous. He caught it with a dip net, took out the hook and threw the fish into the living water tank.

I changed the bait for the hook on the electric twisting rod, and after throwing it into the water again, the second electric twisting rod also hit.

“.”

Chu Mingcheng didn't know whether to be happy or helpless, he still wanted to play with Lure.

But the fish mouth is so good, it is indeed something to be happy about.

Next, he didn’t have time for lure at all. The two electric twisting poles seemed to have agreed upon that after you sing, I’ll go on stage, one fish after another.

With more fish and the icing on the cake, the harvest is naturally impossible to be bad.

The only thing that makes Chu Mingcheng regretful is that there is no big fish at present.

With this busy schedule, the time came to ten or ten minutes before I knew it.

Seeing that the electric winch hadn't moved for a long time, Chu Mingcheng planned to take in the longline.

But look at the time, it’s already past ten o’clock, it’s estimated that there won’t be much gain if the longline is collected at twelve o’clock.

He thought for a while, then simply picked up the lure pole, first to pass the time, and wait until 11:30 at night to collect it.

In the dark night, under the light of the ship, a pink pencil keeps making parabolas in the air.

When the fish situation is over, the effect of cheating is not obvious.

Chu Mingcheng threw it seven or eight times, and the fishing rod finally felt like the mouth of the fish was touching the fake bait.

He slowed down the action of retrieving the line immediately, allowing the lure to show a free-falling action. Sure enough, a pulling force came from the next moment, and finally caught the fish.

But the pulling force is not strong, obviously the fish is not big.

Even if the lure rod was a bit soft, the fish was still pulled back by Chu Mingcheng directly, so there was no need to walk the fish at all.

He looked down and saw that it was a small fish in his early twenties, which could barely serve as a dish.

He grabbed the fishing line and directly lifted the fish up. When he saw the appearance of the fish, he couldn't help being taken aback.

The fish is full of spots. Isn’t this the money spot you caught before?

But why do you add a little experience value to the fine aquatic products illustrated book?

Chu Mingcheng observed carefully, and then found out the bright spot.

The back of this fish has brown and black large round spots, which are not found in the money spot.

So this grouper is not a money spot, but a ghost spot, also called three-spot grouper.

It’s too small to fit between teeth!

Chu Mingcheng mentioned the fish, which didn't even weigh a catty, and put it into the live water tank.

Then he continued to lure, but after throwing it more than a dozen times, he caught a red grouper that was also only a little over 20 centimeters.

Chu Mingcheng had caught the red grouper before, but he didn't like this kind of fish very much.

The price is not bad, but they are relatively small, and there will not be a large nest of wild ones. Therefore, when he encounters such small fish during fishing and hunting, he basically chooses to ignore them, and he can’t sell a few of them anyway.

But then there were three fish in a row, either ghost spot or red grouper, Chu Mingcheng immediately lost the mood to continue fishing.

His lure rod is relatively soft, and the pencil is not too big, but it is not enough to catch such small fish, right?

He also wants to get a slightly bigger one, let’s walk the fish!

Fortunately, these five small fish are still useful. He can at least make a pot of fish soup tomorrow.

Both the red grouper and the ghost grouper taste very good in fish soup. The fish is small but the meat is tender, absolutely delicious.

Put away the fishing rod, and clean the fishing rod by the way, the time came to the early eleven o'clock.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t wait any longer, and went to collect the long rope first.

When he came to the position of the first longline, he was taken aback when he saw the float. The float sank much deeper than in the afternoon!

Then he hooked the float back, and the moment he picked up the main line, he felt a sense of heaviness.

When the longline was pulled in the afternoon, although the longline was not easy to pull, it felt like it was being driven by the sea.

At night, the feeling is different, lifeless.

Chu Mingcheng stretched his arms and began to pull the long rope back little by little.

After a while, the first sub-line gradually emerged from the water, followed by a light brown mouse spot with black dots on the hook.

However, this rat spot has suffocated to death, and it weighs at least five or six catties.

Chu Mingcheng's hands trembled a little when he took the fish, he was really heartbroken!

This fish can be sold for more than 500 yuan alive, but it is worth 80 yuan a catty when dead. Can you not feel distressed?

Now, he can only choose to eat this fish with tears in his eyes. It's not worth selling it!
