Chapter 23 Saxifraga
Not only the village head uncle wanted to order a batch of diving equipment for the villagers, but Xiang Yang himself had to order another batch of diving equipment.
At that time, when Uncle Xiang drives the fishing boat back, Xiang Yang can not only drive the fishing boat for ocean trawling, but also lead the sailors to dive and fish when the fishing boat stops.
Xiang Yang ordered 20 sets of diving equipment in one go. Although the fishing boat has not come back yet, Xiang Yang feels that some preparations can be carried out now.
It’s just that Xiang Yang couldn’t come to the most scarce manpower problem. A medium-sized ocean-going fishing boat can’t be driven by Xiang Yang and Uncle Xiang, not to mention the ordinary sailors on the deck who help clean up the catch. It takes several technicians to operate various equipment to put the fishing boat into normal working condition.
After lunch, Xiang Yang rowed the fishing boat to go out to sea again. After careful calculation, Xiang Yang and his uncle Xiang Yang found that the 500,000 spare funds budgeted by Xiang Yang were not enough. A huge sum of money has to be consumed every month, Xiang Yang is under a lot of pressure now, and must enrich his small coffers as much as possible before Uncle Xiang drives the fishing boat back.
Xiang Yang still rowed the fishing boat to a place where the fishermen on the shore could not see, and then went swimming in the sea.
This time Xiang Yang swam in a different direction, and the seabed scenery in this direction was completely different from the sea area Xiang Yang arrived in the morning.
The sea water is still so clean and clear, but beautiful coral reefs can be seen everywhere, and the bottom of the sea is still covered with fat seaweed. All kinds of good-looking fish are shuttled among the coral reefs on the bottom of the sea. one side.
Xiang Yang looked left and right, searching for valuable seafood while admiring the scenery along the way.
Xiang Yang, who was looking around, suddenly looked at one direction, his eyes lit up, and he could see countless mushrooms on the bottom of the sea in that direction. Those mushrooms were like the paint in a painter's paint dish spilled and scattered in the ocean. They have charming colors. Red, orange, purple and green.
It's really saxifraga. After You Jin saw it clearly, Xiang Yang was overjoyed. Generally brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, but saxifraga is non-toxic.
Not only is it non-toxic, but it is also a precious delicacy. This mushroom likes to grow in a coral environment with moderate water flow, and can coexist with some small fish. As long as it has a suitable living environment and enough space, it can live very well. good.
There are many different colors of saxifrage mushrooms. According to the colors, they can be divided into different varieties, and the prices are also very different.
Among them, the orange saxifraga is the most common and the least valuable. The green saxifraga belongs to the mushroom coral, which is very hard. The purple saxifraga can be used as an ornamental. Its charming appearance is deep It is loved by many girls, and it can be sold on Taobao. You can buy it for tens of dollars and give it to the girl you like.
Red saxifraga mushrooms are relatively rare, and they are very precious ingredients. In the early years when wild red mushrooms were not worth much, people often dried wild red mushrooms and pretended to be red saxifraga mushrooms. The price of land red mushrooms has soared in recent years. At nearly 2,000 yuan per catty, no one will use that top-quality mountain delicacy to pass off the red saxifraga mushroom as a seafood.
However, this does not mean that the red saxifrage mushrooms are worthless. Relatively speaking, the price of the red saxifrage mushrooms is more expensive than that of the large red fungus, because neither the large red fungus nor the small red fungus is weighed. One basket can be filled with fungus, and the red saxifraga mushrooms fished from the water are very weighed. Often a catty of red saxifraga mushrooms looks like a small vegetable bowl.
It is indeed saxifraga, and there are quite a few red ones among them. After confirming, Xiang Yang immediately started to pick some large red saxifraga to collect.
Xiang Yang was careful when collecting them. Red saxillera mushrooms, like big red mushrooms and small red mushrooms, are delicate things that will drop in value if they lose their appearance. Xiang Yang doesn't want to cause huge financial losses because of his rude behavior.
About ten minutes later, Xiang Yang only collected about half a net bag of red saxifragata and began to swim up the sea. When catching flounder, Xiang Yang could try to stuff the flounder into the net bag as much as possible, but collecting this precious red saxifraga At that time, Xiang Yang was afraid that the saxifrage mushroom would be crushed in the narrow space of the net bag, so he didn't even dare to move too much.
Xiang Yang happily went back and forth and collected more than a hundred catties of red saxifraga mushrooms before he stopped. In fact, there is still a lot of space on the fishing boat, but no matter how many red saxiris mushrooms are placed at the bottom of the cabin. It's not worth the loss if it's about to be crushed. Xiang Yang can transport these back first, and then remember this location for the next time.
When Xiang Yang returned to Qinglong Bend, the fishermen who went out to fish in the morning also came back one after another with their fishing boats. On the way, Xiang Yang unexpectedly met this guy named Fatty Zuo.
Fatty Zuo's fishing boat has a deep draft, and it looks like today is a bumper harvest.
Xiang Yang saw Fatty Zuo, Fatty Zuo naturally also saw Xiang Yang.
Seeing the waterline of Xiang Yang's fishing boat, Fatty Zuo was immediately amused, and shouted loudly from a distance, Brother Yang, did you drift for nothing today?
Baibiao means that he spent a day at sea without catching anything. Xiang Yang glanced at the layer of red saxifraga mushrooms under his fishing boat and didn't bother to talk to Fatty Zuo.
Xiang Yang didn't say a word, Fatty Zuo took Xiang Yang as acquiescing, and immediately gloated: Brother Yang, so there are times when you go out to sea and fail to catch fish! Guess, what did I catch today?
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and continued rowing.
Zuo Fatty rowed the boat towards Xiang Yang and proudly said: It's a horsehead fish, good guy, I caught four to five hundred catties in a few nets, brother, I made a fortune today.
Hearing that it was horse head fish Xiang Yang, he looked at Fatty Zuo with a little surprise, You are lucky!
Horsehead fish is a relatively common marine fish in the southern coastal areas of my country. The meat is very delicious. Frozen dead fish can be sold for 20 to 30 yuan a catty. Fresh wild horsehead fish can usually be sold for seven to eight yuan in seafood markets. Ten yuan a catty is worth more than swimming crabs. Fatty Zuo said that he caught four to five hundred catties, and even if he sold them to the seafood buyers in the town, he could sell them for tens of thousands of yuan. No wonder Fatty Zuo was so excited.
I've always been lucky, Brother Yang, do you want to send you a horse-headed fish tonight for the tooth-beating festival? Fatty Zuo pretended to be proud.
Hehe, you want me to buy the horse-headed fish? Xiang Yang explained Fatty Zuo's careful thoughts.
Fatty Zuo didn't feel any embarrassment when his thoughts were exposed by Xiang Yang, but he continued to row the fishing boat to Xiang Yang's side with a look of complacency.
Fatty Zuo’s fishing boat was a little bigger than Xiang’s father’s fishing boat, and the hull was also a little taller. Fatty Zuo rowed the fishing boat beside Xiang Yang’s fishing boat and looked down at Xiang Yang’s cabin. He felt that he could finally do it today. He raised his eyebrows in front of Xiang Yang.
Damn it, red saxifraga! Fatty Zuo fell from the boat and fell into the sea without standing still.
