Chapter 8 Surprise
If you are not a professional fisherman, most people will not be able to catch swimming crabs underwater.
Although Xiang Yang is not a professional fisherman, he grew up by the sea, and he is not an ordinary person, so he can easily catch swimming crabs.
Swimming crabs are carnivorous animals, and sea cucumbers are also in their diet. Naturally, it is impossible for Xiang Yang to put this swimming crab into the net bag. Looking at the net bag on his waist with regret, Xiang Yang chose to put the swimming crab up.
As soon as the swimming crab escaped from Xiang Yang's clutches, it immediately fled towards the distance by paddling the sea water, finally ignoring that delicious sea fish.
Xiang Yang smiled, swam not far from the shore, turned on the searchlight above his head, floated out of the sea, waved to the people on the sea surface to signal that he was okay, then continued to dive to the bottom of the sea and swim.
Many fishermen on the sea were amazed when they saw this scene. An old fisherman on one of the fishing boats said, This is the first time your kid, Lao Xiang, has come out of the sea just now, right? I thought he swam somewhere else. Alright, it's been more than five minutes since we dived, right?
It must have been five minutes. I didn't expect him to be a diving master. Father Xiang also came tonight's fishing operation, and he was a little surprised to see his son hold his breath on the bottom of the sea for more than five minutes.
I heard that humans can only live for three minutes without oxygen at most. Fatty Zuo was also on the fishing boat, and he said while rowing.
Hearing this, Father Xiang and the other fisherman laughed so much that Fatty Zuo was a little puzzled.
Indeed, some experts say that scientific research shows that human beings can only be hypoxic for three minutes at most, and that hand diving can only reach 28 meters, but there must be some special individuals in such a large group of human beings. The world's deepest hand diving record is as deep as 113 meters, and the longest record for holding your breath underwater is 13 minutes and 42 seconds.
Not to mention those world records, in Guangyanlong Village, a small fishing village, there are many people who can dive to a depth of 30 meters and hold their breath on the seabed for more than three minutes.
When he reached the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang slowly swam towards the deep sea. After confirming that people on the surface could not see the underwater lights, he turned off the searchlight again and continued to look at the bottom of the sea.
Guessing that the time was almost over, Xiang Yang started to swim back.
Where have you been? I haven't seen you for so long. Father Xiang was dragging a fishing net from the bottom of the sea with two other fishermen, when he saw Xiang Yang climbing up from the other side of the boat, he said in a slightly reproachful tone.
I swam to a far distance, and there are fishing boats over there. Xiang Yang looked at the big net that had just boarded the boat, and the catches were scarce, and they were all worthless small sea fish, one valuable seafood nor.
Hearing that Xiang Yang said that there are fishing boats over there, Father Xiang didn't continue to blame, otherwise he would definitely scold him.
Drink your saliva first, you don't know your mouth is dry after being underwater for so long. Xiang's father picked up a large bottle of fresh water and handed it to Xiang Yang, his eyes suddenly caught the bulging net bag on Xiang Yang's waist.
Thank you dad. Xiang Yang gulped a few mouthfuls after receiving the fresh water. People would be extremely thirsty after diving in the sea. Although Xiang Yang is not thirsty at all now, he still has to look thirsty.
But Xiang's father grabbed the net bag on Xiang Yang's waist, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head in shock and said, Is this a sea cucumber?
Sea cucumber?
Sea cucumber!
Fatty Zuo and another fisherman heard it, and stared at the net bag regardless of the fishing net.
Hiss! A sea cucumber with thick arms.
After the two people saw it clearly, there was a gasping sound from the boat, Fatty Zuo swallowed, and enviously said: Brother Yang, these sea cucumbers are worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?
Good luck, I also worked hard to catch these. Xiang Yang smiled.
Hearing this, the few people were speechless. Tens of thousands of dollars were credited into the account after a while, which was faster than robbery money. This luck is too good, they also want to fight, but there is no place to fight!
Xiaoyang, is there such a sea cucumber in the sea? The old fisherman's eyes turned red.
Is it the same place as last time? Fatty Zuo also asked excitedly.
Yes, there are quite a few more down there, but the ones as big as I caught should be gone. Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, not intending to hide it at all.
Then why are you hesitating? Take us there! Hearing that Xiang Yang said there was more, now even Xiang's father couldn't sit still.
I know where it is, I'll row the boat. Zuo Fatty only felt that he had endless energy all over his body.
Hey, hey, you have to send me back first, or the things I'm grabbing now will melt. Xiang Yang smiled wryly.
Father Xiang rowed the boat without lifting the oars, Swim back by myself.
Well, Xiang Yang had no choice but to jump into the sea again.
Knowing that the three people on board were eager to make money, Xiang Yang had no complaints about it.
However, Xiang Yang was skeptical about whether the three of them, including Lao Tzu, could make money.
Once sea cucumbers leave the bottom of coral reefs, they will slowly melt as the temperature rises, and they like to hide under coral reefs or sandstones. Ordinary people may not be able to find a sea cucumber after a few breathless dives. They can dive for more than ten times at most. You have to rush back, otherwise the sea cucumbers will start to dissolve before you get home to pickle them. Once they dissolve, even if they melt just a little bit, the sea cucumbers will be worthless.
This is also the reason why Fatty Zuo caught only a few sea cucumbers last time and immediately went home to pickle them.
The temperature at night on the sea is lower than that during the day, so the autolysis time will be delayed a bit, but the bottom of the sea is dark at night, and sea cucumbers are not as easy to catch as during the day. Xiang Yang thinks that in the end, the three of them can catch a few catties of sea cucumbers, which is against the sky. up.
When Xiang Yang came home, Mother Xiang, who was waiting at home, saw that Xiang Yang came back with a net bag full of sea cucumbers, especially when she saw that the sea cucumbers in the net bag were all as thick as arms, she almost went crazy with joy, and pickled them overnight.
Xiang Yang used the excuse that he was tired from diving and quickly hid in his room.
Xiang's mother felt sorry for her son, so naturally she didn't have any opinion on it.
In fact, Xiang Yang didn't even feel sleepy at all. First, he sent a text message to Li Chao, thanking the other party for finding a shipping channel for him, and then explaining that he found another batch of sea cucumbers as thick as arms, and the quantity may be more than last time. One or two catties, with a picture attached.
Li Chao called almost as soon as the text message was sent.
Hey, Brother Xiang, did you disturb your rest?
No, I didn't go to bed so early at night, and I was worried that you were asleep, Boss Li, so I didn't call you!
Haha, my brother is not so early! And with this batch of high-end goods, even if my brother really fell asleep and was woken up, it would be worth it!
So Boss Li wants this batch of sea cucumbers?
I definitely want it. I will send someone over to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon. Brother Xiang, the quality of the goods you provided is undeniable. Last time, the price of the goods was lowered. This time I will pay 7,000 yuan per catty for this batch. , if there are any good ones in the future, I must keep them for my brother.”
Hearing Li Chao's words, Xiang Yang clicked his tongue, and at the same time was secretly excited. Five thousand yuan a catty was already a sky-high price in the eyes of the villagers, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of Boss Li, the price was actually lowered.
