Chapter 333： Shipwreck? Well done!

Chapter 333 Shipwreck? Well done!

Quickly opened the second white butterfly shell with a knife, and Chu Mingcheng found a round and shiny white pearl inside again.

However, this pearl is a bit smaller, perhaps only seven or eight millimeters in diameter.

He doesn't have a measuring tool for the exact size, so he can only guess roughly.

Looking at the two big white butterfly shells, Chu Mingcheng didn't know for a while whether he was lucky, or if these big ones had a higher chance of producing pearls because of their age.

Anyway, at this moment, he suddenly had the urge to return to the deserted island immediately and continue to pick up white butterfly shells.

But rationally, Chu Mingcheng knew that his more important task now was to find fishing spots, so he suppressed this urge.

Wanting to get a string of suitable pearl necklaces is a long-term job.

He himself is not sure whether he can get enough pearls before the engagement. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get a whole pearl, it depends on luck.

If this is the case, it is not too late. Every time I come to the high seas, I will dig a batch of white butterfly shells and open them slowly.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng hid the two pearls in the bedroom, and then came out to continue preparing dinner.

Looking at the coconut crab that was still steaming, he came outside with two white butterfly shellfish and the soaked vermicelli garlic sauce, and put the things on the table.

Not in a hurry to bake, he went into the kitchen to wait for the coconut crab to be steamed.

It is such a big one that it takes time to steam it thoroughly. He waited for forty minutes before opening the lid.

A red crab steaming from its body appeared in front of his eyes.

Just looking at it like this, I don’t think it’s very delicious, and the appearance is not very good.

But the moment the lid was opened, a special aroma came out.

This scent is completely different from the fresh scent of sea crabs. Instead, it has a herbal scent, a special flavor that belongs to mountain crabs.

Then Chu Mingcheng used a big tong to pick up the coconut crab, which weighed about ten kilograms, and put it on a large plate to cool down naturally.

Afterwards, he took the plate to the dining table outside, let it continue to cool down, and began to bake the white butterfly shell.

The shell of the white butterfly shell looks very large, but in fact there is not much meat left after the internal organs are removed.

Shellfish and snails are like this, and they generally weigh a shell.

Chu Mingcheng didn't care either, he wanted to eat grilled scallops himself, but the scallops were not replaced with white butterfly shells.

It is said that Neptune’s roasted slippers with garlic sauce are delicious, and I believe the roasted white butterfly shellfish is not bad.

Put the vermicelli on, spread the garlic sauce all over, and start roasting.

The only thing that is a bit wasteful is the shell of the white butterfly shell. After all, this shell is also very useful and can be used to make accessories, and even many women's luxury buttons are made of this shell.

The white butterfly shell next to it was roasted, and Chu Mingcheng began to disassemble the coconut crab next.

Just as he was about to do it, he suddenly thought, shouldn’t such rare ingredients be shared with relatives and friends?

So he smiled and went to take out the phone holder and put it beside him.

Then install the mobile phone on it, find a good angle and aim it at the dining table.

Subsequently, he initiated a multi-person video call in the group.

The maximum number of people in a multi-person video call is nine, and there are only six people in his group, so there is no problem.

The first person to pick up was naturally Jiang Luoluo. She had just had dinner and was about to take a rest and practice yoga, but Chu Mingcheng suddenly initiated a video call.

As soon as it was connected, she saw a big red crab on the table, and there were two big crabs on the charcoal stove next to it.

Coupled with Chu Mingcheng's slightly embarrassed smile, she still doesn't understand what's going on.

Rolled her eyes softly: "Are you going to poison?"

Chu Mingcheng smiled: "That can't be, it's not because you have never eaten coconut crab, I will eat it for you today, so that you can know what it tastes like."

"Sister-in-law, listen to it, what is it called? Coconut crab is also sold online, isn't it only six to seven hundred and one catties, it's as if I can't afford it."

Zhang Wei happened to hear his words after connecting, and immediately complained to Jiang Luoluo dissatisfied.

Chu Mingcheng frowned, grabbed the whole coconut crab and showed it to him: "It weighs about ten catties, can you buy it?"

Chen Yang, who just turned on the video call, saw the big spiders all over the screen, and immediately said shit.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a coconut crab.

"Acheng, where did you go, Huo Huo? Why is there such a big coconut crab?"

Chu Mingcheng: "The high seas! Your boat can't come to the high seas, so don't even think about it!"

"This..." Chen Yang was speechless, he suddenly regretted it, and sighed, "Oh, if I knew it, I would have spent more money to buy a boat that can go to the high seas."

"That's not necessary. If I have a chance, I'll take you to the high seas. There are so many people." Chu Mingcheng was shocked after hearing this, but on the surface he calmly stopped him.

From the time he encountered pirates, he felt that the safety of the high seas was very low.

Large and medium-sized fishing boats and cargo ships are okay, but private recreational fishing boats like them are fine. They are fat sheep in the eyes of others when they come to the high seas, even though there are very few pirates in his sea area.

But he has five adult killer whales to protect him, so he doesn't need to worry about safety.

"Is there such a coconut crab in the high seas?" Zhang Youning clicked on the video call and was attracted by the coconut crab.

Recently, she and Chen Yang have been surfing around in the sea. At the cost of her complexion being half darkened, she ate a lot of seafood that she had never eaten before and was not willing to buy.

In the past, she hated fishy smell very much, but after going to sea, she realized that most fresh fish have no fishy smell.

The fishy smell is basically stale.

However, she has been in contact with these for a short time. For the time being, she is very interested in these things that are extremely expensive and have never eaten.

Chu Mingcheng heard that she was asking, so he answered seriously.

"Yes, the small island I found has quite a lot of coconut crabs. Next time we have a chance, we will go out to sea for a few days, and take a tent to the island to stay overnight."

Jiang Luoluo thought about the situation of the island last time when he heard the words, he hesitated and said: "This island in the high seas should not have any murderers living there?"

"No, don't worry!" Chu Mingcheng comforted with a smile, "Which murderer can run so far!"

"If someone has been to that island, do you think I can still find a coconut crab that weighs about ten catties? It would have been given to me long ago, okay?"

When everyone heard it, they all felt very reasonable, so they began to discuss when to go to sea together.

Chu Mingcheng was not idle at the moment, he picked up tools and prepared to disassemble the coconut crab.

As soon as he took it, he found that the coconut crab was covered with oil.

The special fragrance is the taste of these oils.

It is not troublesome to disassemble the coconut crab, just need scissors and a small hammer.

Everyone also stopped discussing at this meeting, and watched Chuming City demolish crabs with relish.

Especially the belly under the coconut crab, which is full of ointment and rich in oil.

Zhang Youning smacked his mouth: "It looks delicious."

Chen Yang laughed immediately after hearing the words: "Then I'll buy one?"

She shook her head immediately: "No, Ah Cheng said that there are still some on that island, I want to catch them myself."

Bai Jing interface: "It tastes better if you catch it yourself."

Zhang Youning nodded in agreement immediately: "Yes!"

But when Chu Mingcheng picked out all the crab meat, smashed the crab claws, and the white butterfly shell was cooked and ready to eat.

The few people connected to him suddenly quit the chat one by one, and Zhang Wei even left a sentence: "Dog thing, still want to eat for us to see? Good idea, goodbye~"

After finishing speaking, he also decisively quit the video chat, which made Chu Mingcheng stunned.

Jiang Luoluo covered her mouth and chuckled lightly when she saw this: "Let's make you laugh, you've been tricked by them!"

Chu Mingcheng was speechless: "Everyone is alive and well!"

"I don't even look at it, anyway, I can catch it myself after a while."

"Well, it seems that I am too kind to them."

"Haha, you can eat first! We'll talk later at night, and I don't want to watch you eat good food, but I don't have my share, huh!"

"Then I'll catch one and bring it back?"

"Farewell, it will be troublesome to be discovered. Let's talk about it when we go out to sea together! Well, let's not talk, I'm going to do yoga!"

Looking at the exited chat interface, Chu Mingcheng sighed lightly, he was too loud!

This dinner tasted a little less flavorful for some reason.

After dinner and admiring the starry sky, Chu Mingcheng packed up everything on the deck and continued working.

In the next two days, he has been exploring the fish gathering places on the map in this vast sea area, and recorded all the suitable fishing spots.

During the period, I also encountered many schools of ordinary fish, such as mackerel and sardines.

However, whether you can meet this kind depends on luck. Basically, there is no fixed fishing location, and only experienced fishermen know their migration routes.

Hairtail, small yellow flowers, etc., he discovered after he came to the high seas that the flowers he wanted to catch really didn’t need to come to the high seas.

The production of the East China Sea in China is very high. In fact, it is difficult to encounter fish suitable for fishing on the high seas, and the taste of the same species of fish may not be comparable to that in China.

In two days, Chuming City explored ten places again.

So far, plus the three places explored in the previous few days, there are already eleven fishing spots in the southeast of the Bashi Channel, which is completely enough.

It has been five days since he went to sea. He spent one day fishing and hunting, and successfully caught 21 boxes of deep-sea fish and grouper.

The real trevally baits are all used up. Thirty-four foam boxes have been used so far, and there are sixteen left.

Chu Mingcheng set the target location in the northeast of the Bashi Strait, and wanted to see what fish resources there were.

On the way to the Northeast Sea, he spent more than 3,000 green coins to fill up the boat.

Finding fishing spots this time is quite fuel-intensive, but fortunately, there are more than 300,000 green coins to squander.

Compared to the southeast, in the northeast waters of the Bashi Strait, except for the real trevally map, you can only find suitable fish finders.

In five days, the fixed fishing spots for real trevally and tuna have been almost analyzed.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t plan to go to every place once, and just gave the coordinates to Zhao Jun, and let them figure it out.

It took him a whole day and a half to go from the southeast to the northeast.

This location, if you drive to the southwest, it will be a small day.

But he kept going northeast, so he was always on the open sea.

According to the comparison of the horizontal lines on the map, his current location should be at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea in China, which is quite far away.

If you don’t come here, even if you find a suitable fishing spot, Zhao Jun shouldn’t come so far.

The fishing spots found are enough, and Zhao Jiahang himself has been to the high seas and knows some good fishing spots, so there is no need to go to the sea area in the northeast.

Chu Mingcheng came here purely because he felt that he had come to the high seas, so he simply visited the north and south seas. Anyway, there are green coins to be snatched, so he is not afraid of fuel consumption costs.

The next day at around two o'clock in the afternoon, he saw a school of fish on the fish finder again.

Compared to the beautiful coral reefs in the south, most of the northeast are reefs, and his current location is no exception.

However, the school of fish is at a water depth of about 40 meters, so there is no need to continue to approach.

Since there are reef groups, based on previous experience, there may be deep-sea fish schools nearby.

Chu Mingcheng manually drove the boat and began to sail around the reef group.

Occasionally, some deep-sea fish can be seen on the fish finder, but the number is not many.

Until he came to the east, a fault suddenly appeared in the depth of the water here, from a depth of more than 100 meters to more than 300 meters, and there were traces of fish activities.

Chu Mingcheng became interested immediately. In one day, he went from summer to late autumn.

The day before yesterday was in the south, and the daytime temperature was still thirty degrees.

Immediately after arriving here, the temperature dropped to 16 degrees. The deep sea is obviously cooler, which is suitable for fish in colder waters.

Obviously the bottom of the water is cold water fish, so he sailed due east.

The depth on the fish finder also slowly increases, 330, 340.

When it was more than 370 meters, a large area of ​​red suddenly appeared on the fish finder, and I encountered a school of deep-sea fish.

But Chu Mingcheng did not stop because of this, and chose to continue driving. However, after continuing to drive for a while, he found nothing, and then returned to the vicinity of the reef group.

The water here is shallow, and there is a sandy place, which is quite suitable for anchoring the boat.

I was going to be here today, Chu Mingcheng stopped the boat and turned off the fire, and then changed into a diving suit.

When the killer whales saw this, they immediately understood that they didn’t need to go on their way today, so the leader immediately notified his companions and set out to hunt together.

Chu Mingcheng does not take them to find tuna every day, only when they help a lot, can they have the opportunity to enjoy the deliciousness of tuna and eat enough to fill up.

He didn't care about the killer whales, if they didn't fill their stomachs, they would come to him later.

Putting on a diving suit, bringing a speargun and necessary lighting tools, etc., he came to the stern and jumped into the water.

Temporarily ignoring the group of fish at a water depth of 40 meters, Chu Mingcheng began to dive along the waterway due east.

He intends to see what those deep-sea fish are and whether they are worth money.

As soon as it came to the bottom of the water, a fish with brown patterns estimated to be thirty to forty centimeters was startled, and immediately "swished" away.

Chu Mingcheng didn't look carefully, but felt that the blurry look was familiar.

Afterwards, he was at the bottom of the water, swimming all the way to the school of deep-water fish.

In this waterway, you can occasionally see some plaice.

But they are not very big, so he doesn't have much interest in hunting.

The place where the fish gathered was not far away. Chu Mingcheng held a flashlight in his hand to illuminate it. When he estimated that he was about to reach the place where the fish gathered, he suddenly shone on a white wall in front of him.

Not only that, there are many fish swimming around the wall, it seems that this is their home!

Chu Mingcheng was astonished, because this wall was somewhat familiar.

His heart rate gradually increased, and he scanned the so-called "wall" with a flashlight.

After seeing the neatly arranged windows, he was finally sure that there was a sunken ship here.

And from the technological design of the hull, it can be seen that this is a large yacht.

Of course, this sense of technology is a bit outdated for modern times.

Chu Mingcheng immediately swam to the top of the boat, and began to look at the whole boat with the flashlight.

This yacht is considered very large, and the whole ship is generally kept intact, and the length is estimated to be only about 50 meters.

Of course, there is no way to compare with cruise ships.

Walking around the yacht, Chu Mingcheng finally found the name of the yacht, and in a flash of incomprehensible Japanese, it turned out to be a yacht from a small day.

It’s heavy, it must be a little more heavy, otherwise how can he hunt for treasure?

The yacht is about 50 meters high and three stories high. It is estimated that there are quite a lot of places to explore. There may be dozens or hundreds of rooms alone.

Looking at the equipment on his body, it is basically used for fishing and hunting.

Not to mention the items inside the sunken ship, there are quite a few fish living in this ship.

Chu Mingcheng must bring more net bags and ropes if he wants to explore the sunken ship. He simply picked up the spear gun and prepared to hunt a batch of fish back first.

Everyone has come, how can they return empty-handed!

So he approached the wreck and put his eyes on the swimming fish.

‘Hey, these are cod? '

After approaching, Chuming City immediately recognized the species of fish, which is a kind of cod with a relatively large number, also called Pacific cod.

This kind of cod is found in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in China. It should be called big head fishy in the north, but it is rare.

Mainly this fish either lives in the reef or in the sunken ship.

There are shipwrecks in this place today, and it is deep sea, so it is not surprising to encounter cod.

And it’s almost November now, just in time for the season of whiting.

Chu Mingcheng quickly found a target, a cod with a body length of about eighty centimeters and a round belly.

The fish swim very slowly, and seem to be unaware of the danger at all.

But Chu Mingcheng still held up the speargun and aimed for ten seconds before pressing the trigger.

"嗖~"

The fish arrow broke through the water and penetrated the head of the cod in an instant.

I deliberately aimed for so long, originally trying to ensure the integrity of the fish.

The scars of deep-sea fish after fishing and hunting must be very strange.

But cod is generally preserved with its head removed and its internal organs removed, so it is okay to damage the head of the fish.

Chuming City has a vacuum machine and transparent packaging bags on board. Although the quantity is not large, it is still no problem to pack a dozen fish.

"Swoosh swish~"

The sound of fish arrows breaking through the water is heard from time to time on the bottom of the sea. Every time it is fired, a cod will be hit.

It only took about 20 minutes, and he successfully hunted twelve cod with a length of seventy to eighty centimeters, or even one meter.

These cod have a characteristic, that is, their belly is bulging.

Even the lightest one weighs more than ten catties.

Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng had great strength, and the nearly two hundred catties of fish were still easily brought back to the boat.

Throwing the fish on the deck, Chu Mingcheng immediately brought over the fish killing knife, vacuum machine and packing bags.

Picking up a fish, he skillfully stroked its belly, and the contents of the belly were immediately exposed.

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback when he saw it, so many fish roe?

"Eh, no, this is Baizi, right?"

After careful observation, Chu Mingcheng confirmed that these are the white eggs of the fish, that is, the testis of the fish.

This is a good thing!

He took them out carefully and put them aside, then he continued to deal with the internal organs of the fish.

In addition to white cod, the white and tender cod liver and thick fish maw are also delicious.

So he stayed and put it with Bai Zi.

But he saw anisakis, a parasite, on the fish liver.

This shows that fish eat sashimi, it is best to only eat its meat, and the internal organs must not be sashimi, because most of them may have parasites.

Fortunately, these are completely cooked and there will be no problem. They can be killed when the temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius.

After the internal organs are processed, it is best to scrape off the black film on the wall of the cod meat.

Deep-sea fish basically have this black membrane, which is different from shallow-water fish.

There are many creatures in the deep sea that can emit light. If there is no black film, the belly of the fish will also glow after eating these light-emitting creatures, causing them to be discovered by other predators, so they have evolved this black film .

A fish was quickly cleaned up. Chu Mingcheng removed the head and pinched the tail of the fish, and put it in a packaging bag.

Put the other white seeds, cod liver and fish maw in a new packaging bag, separate from the fish, and finally vacuum them with a vacuum machine.

Twelve fish, Chu Mingcheng cleaned them up very quickly, it only took half an hour.

After all the fish was vacuum-processed, he put the fish into the refrigerator to freeze at low temperature.

Out of the refrigerated cabin, Chu Mingcheng rinsed the deck with a water hose, and then went to take out the net bag, lighting tools and ropes.

I won’t bring a speargun this time, just bring a speargun for self-defense.

Jumping into the water again, Chu Mingcheng found the right direction and quickly swam to the sunken ship.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a huge seven-banded grouper leisurely wandering on the deck of the ship.

It is normal for a shipwreck to have huge objects, and the seven-banded grouper is also the only grouper that can survive in cold water.

When this old friend appeared, Chu Mingcheng became somewhat entangled.

Shall we get it done first?

This seven-banded grouper is almost over two meters long, so it must be very aggressive, in order not to be bitten by the fish, but also for the convenience of entering and exiting the sunken ship.

Chu Mingcheng finally took out the spear and decided to get it done first.

The swimming speed of the large grouper is not worth mentioning. He swooped down directly from above, and the spear pierced into the grouper's body just as the grouper had just reacted, nailing it to the deck.

Several sounds of bang bang bang sounded, it was the sound of the tail of the seven-banded grouper hitting the deck.

Its strength is very strong. If Chu Mingcheng didn't pay attention to martial arts and sneak attack and nailed it to the deck, it would be difficult to control it.

Now the fish is lying on its side and nailed to the deck, but it can't exert much strength.

Chu Mingcheng pressed the fish spear and waited for it to die. While waiting, he also observed the surroundings frequently to avoid any danger approaching.
