Chapter 340 Shipwreck map delivered to your door

Steaming butter crabs is not possible to open and clean the crab shells first, and then put them in the pot for steaming.

The crab has to be cleaned and steamed directly without damaging its body. It is best to put it upside down with the crab shell facing down.

Chu Mingcheng never expected that he would be so lucky that the butter crab he caught by chance was of top quality.

That is, the crab paste inside has all melted into crab roe, without a trace of red, and even the crab meat has been dyed yellow.

If Chu Mingcheng hadn't caught a butter crab of this quality, it wouldn't have survived long.

It is said that what you eat when you eat hairy crabs is crab roe, but the taste of butter crab is ten times better than that of hairy crabs.

After Chu Mingcheng finished eating, there were only two words in his head, so delicious!

So the next morning, he got off the boat and came to the butter crab farm at the mouth of the Pearl River, and found a crab owner with a large scale of farming.

Then I learned from the boss that there are basically no first-hand butter crabs in this season, and there are usually some first-timers, that is, butter crabs.

Greed oil crab is a female blue crab whose red paste has not completely melted, but a certain amount of butter has been produced. After steaming, the inside is red and yellow.

It is well known that all butter crabs are female crabs.

And the red paste of the female crab is actually not that delicious, the real delicious one is the yellow paste.

Naturally, the price is also much different. The first-hand ones can sell for 1,500 catties or even more, while the first-hand ones are only more than 500 yuan, which is at least three times the difference.

The boss of the crab said that in addition to selling top-hand butter crabs in certain seasons, ordinary blue crabs and first-hand quality butter crabs are also sold in other seasons.

Out of curiosity, Chu Mingcheng bought a pound of butter crab, which cost him five hundred and sixty yuan.

One is about half a catty, there are two in total.

Most butter crabs can only grow to this size, because there is not so much time for them to live to be bigger.

The production of butter in butter crabs is beyond their control. To a certain extent, butter crabs will become overweight and "explode" and die naturally.

After tasting two ointment crabs in Chuming City, he was immediately disappointed.

He has already tasted the top-quality butter crab. Although the butter crab is delicious, it is too bad.

In the end, he just left disappointed. Compared with ointment crab, Sri Lankan blue crab is more fragrant.

But the delicious taste of the butter crab in the head still makes Chu Mingcheng never forget it. He feels that it is necessary for him to come to the Pearl River Estuary to catch the sea every year from the fifth to the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

As for buying, I cook seafood myself, so how could I be willing to spend so much money on it.

Unless, he can't catch it himself!

It's almost time to stay in the Pearl River Estuary, and Chuming City starts to set off for Bashi Channel.

Along the way, he didn't deliberately buy goods, but simply looked for some aquatic products that he hadn't encountered before.

However, Nanhai Chuming City visited twice. Although he encountered some aquatic products that he hadn't caught, most of them were caught by him.

So I stopped and went all the way, and it took two days to come to the Bashi Strait and replenish the diesel that was almost consumed.

The experience value of the aquatic product illustration book has reached 35, and it is still growing steadily.

Chu Mingcheng was not worried about whether he could upgrade to the sea this time. There were really too many creatures in the sea.

Even if most of them have no economic value, the remaining ones with economic value can still be easily upgraded to raise the aquatic product guide to level five.

The reason why he has been cheating for so long, and now he is only starting to upgrade to the fifth episode, is that his focus has always been on the quality of life, and he didn't do it on purpose.

After filling up the Poseidon, Chu Mingcheng summoned the killer whales who had been moving at the exit of the Bashi Channel.

As for why the killer whale is here at the mouth of the strait, this is naturally his order.

Because of the small days, killer whales are not safe on the high seas, and they may encounter passing whaling ships at any time.

For these large protected animals, domestic waters are the safest.

Unless you are very unlucky and accidentally injured by a large ship.

Otherwise, they can definitely die in domestic waters.

After the bodyguards were summoned, Chu Mingcheng sailed to the Bashi Channel and came to the Philippine Sea, which is the sea area where he found the eleven fishing spots.

Looking at the time, it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought about his next itinerary.

At present, there should be many marine species in the Philippine Sea that he has not encountered, and he does not intend to go to far places, so he simply went to the first fishing spot he found last time.

But on the way, he suddenly thought about the pirate on the isolated island, and he was a little curious about whether the other party was cold or not.

Besides, getting out of the Bashi Strait is closer to the isolated island of pirates, and they also drop by.

So he changed his direction slightly and went over there to have a look.

When the sun was about to set, the Poseidon appeared near the isolated island.

"Hey, you're really alive!"

Chu Mingcheng held the binoculars, and he discovered that there was a small shelter on the beach.

I just didn't see anyone there, and I don't know if they were sleeping inside or they had been rescued.

At this moment, a puff of black smoke suddenly rose from an open space halfway up the mountain, which caught his attention.

Chu Mingcheng looked over there with a telescope, and immediately found a person waving his hands under the black smoke.

Because it was too far away, I couldn't see what the face looked like, but the figure was very similar to the pirate who was knocked unconscious by a big bag back then.

Saving people?

Chuming City definitely won’t, the pirates deserve death!

But a smirk formed at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and drove towards the beach.

Following the change of direction of the Poseidon, it turned to the location of the isolated island beach, and as expected, the pirate ran to the beach below in extreme excitement.

But he didn't notice that the speed of the Poseidon was too slow.

After ten minutes, the pirate ran to the beach.

But when he saw that the distance from the ship was still so far, he was a little bit stunned, as if he didn't expect the speed of the other party to be so slow.

Then he went to a high place and found that the boat was still coming this way. He was relieved and waited patiently on the beach.

After waiting for another twenty minutes, the boat was still so far away, only a little closer than before, which made him faintly feel something was wrong.

At this moment, the direction of the ship suddenly changed.

The pirates on the island panicked, what's going on?

"Help~Helpme~"

He waved his hands up again, and shouted.

Since he was attacked last time and his property was ransacked, and his partner and man disappeared, he already understood what happened to his partner and man, and he also knew what he was going to face next.

During these ten days of surviving on an isolated island, he was very afraid that he would grow old on this island alone. He would rather go to jail than live a life of a savage.

And he also knew that he didn't have many skills to survive on an isolated island. He was able to survive this period of time because the previous supplies hadn't been eaten up.

Once he finishes eating, there is a high probability that he will starve to death.

But in the past ten days, he also encountered three ships.

It’s just that the previous few boats were too far away to see this side. Today’s boat is the closest one.

The boat turned around suddenly. He wasn't sure if it was a bit dark and the other party couldn't see him, or if the other party had clearly seen him, but he didn't want to make trouble and deliberately pretended he couldn't see him.

But no matter what the possibility was, he didn't want to give up easily, so he ran back to the temporary shelter he built before the Poseidon went far, and took out two things.

One appears to be a piece of parchment, while the other holds a homemade torch.

He lit the torch with a lighter, ran to the beach again, waved the torch and yelled, and occasionally took a look at the parchment to let him see clearly.

Chu Mingcheng himself has been paying attention to him all the time, because he can't see clearly because it is dark, he still wants to leave.

The evil taste has been satisfied, and he has no nostalgia for this side.

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden surprise, and the other party didn't know what he was holding, but it successfully aroused his curiosity.

Originally, he only planned to see if the pirate was cool, but when he found out that he was still cool, he took advantage of the situation to tease him, but the other party actually took out something to seduce him.

The pirate is actually very helpless. If he had a choice, he really wouldn't take this thing out.

But last time, Chu Mingcheng was too straightforward. He not only took away the belongings under the bed, but also stole away the private money of ordinary pirates.

As long as there is a little gold left, he will not take it out.

As for why Chuming City didn’t find the parchment last time, it was because the pirate cleverly put it in the pillow instead of the box.

Then, Chu Mingcheng approached with a boat, and deliberately pumped up the rubber boat, all the way to the beach.

The pirate came to him with a happy face, but when he saw his face clearly, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

But before he had time to think about why the person in front of him looked so familiar, the next moment, a more familiar Dabi approached him.

There was a crisp sound of "啪~", at the same angle and position, and the left face that had just subsided from the swelling returned to its original shape again.

The pirate didn't even have room to struggle, and immediately fell straight to the ground.

Chu Mingcheng took the parchment away and extinguished the torch by the way.

He has a flashlight, but you don't need this.

Opening the parchment, I didn't expect it to be a hand-drawn map with some English.

Chu Mingcheng's English level is not good enough, of course he can't understand, so he has to go back to the boat and slowly use software to translate.

He didn't see where the map drawn on the parchment was, it was a bit abstract, but there was a place on it marked with red dye.

This kind of appearance looks like a treasure map no matter how you look at it.

Chu Mingcheng's heart was pounding with excitement. He never thought that this pirate would actually use a treasure map to seduce people. Isn't he afraid that things will be fooled away and then sunk into the sea?

If the pirate is still awake, and he knows what he thinks, he will yell at him, take the things away and leave him on the island, is this more uncomfortable than sinking the sea?

And if there is a choice, he will bring out the map?

After being rescued, he will definitely be sent back to the country, and then he will be sent to prison after investigation.

He couldn't understand the drawing on this map at all, so he couldn't find it, so it might as well be just as a reward.

Actually, the pirate didn't know the true value of the map. He was illiterate and couldn't read English either.

The person who really knows the value of this map is the pirate leader who was sent by the killer whale to feed the fish.

Although the pirate chief was a fisherman, before he came here, he was the captain of a large pirate group.

later betrayed the pirate group with the parchment.

This group of men was recruited by him after he came here, so although this small pirate gang is a mixed-brand pirate, they still robbed a lot of things.

Chu Mingcheng put away the parchment and prepared to go back.

Just coming to the side of the rubber boat, he looked back at the pirate who was lying dead, after thinking about it, he lifted him up like a dead dog and threw him into that crude shelter.

This is a "good man", who gave him warmth twice, and Chu Mingcheng was too embarrassed to let him just sleep on the beach.

Besides, I didn't feel that he lost much weight in the past ten days. He should be living well on the isolated island alone, and he doesn't have the heart to change the other's lifestyle, so let him stay here!

Clapped his hands, Chu Mingcheng returned to the Poseidon in the rubber boat, humming a little song.

The Poseidon did not turn off. After he drove the boat to the other side of the island, he found a rocky area, so he lowered the longline, and immediately returned to the boat to study the parchment he just grabbed.

Turn on the laptop, and on the online translation software, Chu Mingcheng translated the English on the parchment one by one.

He doesn't speak much English, and soon he knew the most critical information on the map.

Shipwreck, Palau Basin.

The specific information on the map is to mark several sunken ships that sank in the Palau Sea Basin. As for the few ships, when the ship sank, and what was on board, it is not written on the map.

Chu Mingcheng really didn’t know where the Palau Sea Basin was, but after he checked it on the computer, he found that the Palau Sea Basin was on the lower side of the Philippine Sea.

It is the northeast of Malaysia and the southeast of the maid country.

"How can there be merchant ships passing by this ghost place?" From the parchment, we can see the approximate history, which should be between 1800 and 1950 in the last century.

Normally, commercial trade ships should sail from the west route, and the points marked on the map are not the main trade routes.

However, when Chu Mingcheng learned some information about the pirates, he knew that some ships deliberately took a long way to avoid the pirates and passed through the Palau Sea Basin.

So what kind of ship is this that makes people leave a map on purpose?

Chu Mingcheng said that it is impossible not to be curious, but there is too little information on the map, and he is not sure whether the pirate on the island knows the inside story.

He feels that there is a high probability that he does not know. If it is a useless shipwreck, no one will leave a map.

The pirate took out the map casually, and naturally did so because he didn't know the specific inside information, so Chu Mingcheng stopped thinking about going back and asking.

The Palau Sea Basin is far away from his side. This time, he mainly upgrades the aquatic illustration book, plus the relocation banquet a week later, so he doesn't plan to go now.

But now that the time is good, he began to study the map carefully and find out the approximate location on the Internet.

When he found that the marked location was in the open sea, he was relieved.

It will be more convenient for him to find sunken ships in the open sea, and it will be easier to transport things back.

If it is near the sea in these countries, the ships of Chu Ming City cannot approach, so he can only travel to these countries to find sunken ships.

In addition, even if the sunken ship is found and the treasure is excavated, how to bring it back to the country and pass the customs is also a problem.

This is also the reason why Chu Mingcheng did not go to the southern Maritime Silk Road to find the sunken ship.
