Chapter 17 Sea Bass

Lobster meat is a delicious food. It can be boiled and baked with cheese. It is a famous Chinese dish.In the southern coast of China, fresh lobsters are often sliced ​​and eaten raw, which is called "sashimi".Cantonese-style seafood has a saying of "lobster three foods", that is, the lobster meat is eaten raw and cooked respectively, and the porridge is made with the lobster head and shell.

Lin Fan was overjoyed when he saw it, because the price of this kind of big lobster is very expensive, the wholesale price in the market is five or six hundred, and once it enters the restaurant, it is afraid that one catty over one catty will cost thousands of yuan, which is a luxury ranks.

Lin Fan ignored the others, and started to grab lobsters around, and the dark blue lobsters that came in were basically more than two catties.Although the lobsters raised their claws one after another and looked angry as soon as people approached, they still couldn't stop Lin Fan. As long as he caught his eye, they all went into the pockets beside Lin Fan.

At this time, Wang Biao, Zhou Xiaolin, Li Hu and others also arrived at the bottom of the sea. They were surprised that they could dive to a depth of more than 400 meters, and they saw Lin Fan busy catching those big lobsters.

After scanning the surroundings, they realized that there were actually a huge number of lobsters in the surrounding area. Without Lin Fan's order, they started lobstering, and all of them were catching big lobsters weighing more than one catty.

Only Wang Biao didn't know the situation, and he was still looking for treasures at the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately, apart from coral reefs, there were only some marine plants such as seaweed and kelp in this area, and there were no pearls as he imagined.

But Zhou Xiaolin didn't hesitate, because he knew the price of big lobsters. In his father's wholesale store, it was rare to buy this kind of big lobsters. It was both because of the high price and because there were no channels, so he immediately started excitedly. Picked up the lobster.

After a while, Lin Fan rushed to the surface of the sea and emerged from the sea, dragging a heavy bag.Seeing it from above, Zhang Zhide hurried over to help drag the bag up, and asked, "Boss, what's down there?"

"Big lobsters, all of them are this kind of big lobsters, probably several thousand catties." Lin Fan said as he poured out all the lobsters in his pocket. There were more than ten lobsters in this pocket, probably weighing thirty to forty catties. .

"Really, that's great. This kind of big lobster is very expensive, so don't let it go." Zhang Zhide hurriedly pulled over the fishing bucket and started sorting out these lobsters, while Lin Fan had already jumped into the sea again with his bag in his hand. Someone else caught a lot of lobsters and pulled them up.

Two hours later, all the people collapsed to rest on the deck panting. Everyone took a bottle of water and poured it vigorously. Because diving in the sea consumes the most water in the body, so it needs to be replenished.

"Boss, there are a total of more than 300 catties, all of which weigh more than one catty. Four of them weigh more than five kilograms, and the largest one is only 6.8 kilograms." After Zhang Zhide counted, he ran to Lin Fan overjoyed. report.

"Everyone has worked hard today, and everyone has a bonus of [-]. By the way, don't you want to take a photo with such a big lobster?" Lin Fan said to everyone with a smile. He hugged the four largest lobsters and took photos with them.

Wang Biao and Zhou Xiaolin were even more excited, because Lin Fan had told them in private that he would share with them when he returned home.At this time, the two each took a selfie with a big lobster in their arms, and then sent the picture to their WeChat and Moments, and Zhou Xiaolin even sent it to his father.

Immediately, his phone rang, and when he connected, his father's excited voice came: "Son, you caught the big lobster you photographed, that's great. How many big lobsters did you catch, you and Lin Let me talk about it, can we let us act as an agent for him? We don’t need to make a penny, and we will give him all the money we sell. We just need to improve our reputation. Of course, I can recommend it if it exceeds five kilograms. Your Uncle Zheng’s Seafood Restaurant accepts it, and the price is guaranteed to be more reasonable than outside.”

No need for Zhou Xiaolin to say, everyone could hear his father's huge noise clearly, and Wang Biao looked at Zhou Xiaolin with a strange expression at this time, as if he had just figured out why he supported Lin Fan in buying fishing boats in the first place. .

"Third brother, tell uncle that all the catches on our fishing boat can be handed over to him for help, don't worry." Lin Fan nodded to Zhou Xiaolin immediately.

"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for your good news, Mazu bless you." Zhou Deyi hung up the phone excitedly, and immediately told his wife the good news. The couple began to plan how to advertise and take the opportunity to raise the reputation of their wholesale store.

"Fourth, it's time to issue it. The wholesale price of more than 2000 catties of lobsters in the market is five to six hundred one catties, which is about 120 million. Not to mention that the price of those few lobster tigers will be scary high. I'm afraid each Can buy more than [-].

With these big lobsters, your trip is not in vain. "Zhou Xiaolin made a calculation for Lin Fan, and Wang Biao's face turned green when he heard that just these lobsters are worth millions. Isn't it too fast to make money from fishing?

"Biaozi, don't think that all the fishing boats that go out to sea can do this. Those who are unlucky can't even keep the fuel money every time, and there are not a few unlucky ones whose boats are destroyed in accidents.

Therefore, this depends on luck, and there are relatively few people who are as lucky as the fourth child.Of course, the fourth child has invested 700 million yuan in the fishing boats. If this is the only way, we will definitely not be able to make money. We must have other gains. "

Seeing Wang Biao's expression, Zhou Xiaolin immediately explained to him that his parents wholesaled seafood, and he also knew many fishing boat owners, so he knew a lot about these situations.

"Third brother is right. This little gain is nothing. What I want is to get back the cost of going out to sea this time, and earn back all the money invested in the fishing boat." Lin Fan smiled slightly at the side, revealing his ambition. Zhou Xiaolin gasped when he heard this, thinking that the fourth child dared to think too much.

Because they all know that Lin Fan invested almost 700 million yuan in the purchase and maintenance of fishing boats, plus fuel oil for this trip.If you want to pay back your capital at one time, you have to earn at least about 800 million yuan, because the salaries of the crew who go to sea this time will cost hundreds of thousands.

When everyone was resting, Cai Xingming and others who were in charge of cooking had prepared simple meals. After all, they were at sea, so their lives were relatively simple.Fortunately, Lin Fan bought a lot of instant food and pickled mustard for dinner in the supermarket, which can satisfy everyone.

In addition, Lin Fan asked them to prepare more than a dozen lobsters for everyone to try. It was indeed delicious, with a mouthful of gravy and a bit of sweetness.Of course, the conditions on the fishing boat are limited, so you can only peel the meat after steaming it, and eat it with some condiments, but it still makes everyone very enjoyable.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. It's strange. I've eaten shrimp before, so why doesn't it taste like this?" Wang Biao yelled while eating, regardless of the heat.

"Nonsense, you used to eat artificially farmed freshwater prawns, of course they are not as good as these deep-sea lobsters. Do you know? Just one bite of you may cost tens or even hundreds of dollars.

Lin Fan is really willing to eat lobsters worth tens of thousands, and he doesn't feel bad at all. "Zhou Xiaolin glared at him from the side, muttered, then grabbed a lobster and started to eat it.

In the afternoon of this day, Lin Fan suddenly received a message that a large group of sea bass was found three kilometers to the west, heading towards the direction of the fishing boat. Jin, the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you.

"Attention everyone, a huge school of fish was found in front of us, and it is about to get out of the net." Lin Fan secretly informed the engineering soldiers to adjust their positions before reminding everyone, and the catcher at the rear of the fishing boat also started to work. , slowly lowering the deep-sea trawling net.

In the past, the trawl net on the Heizhu could only reach a depth of 200 meters, and the fish that could be caught were limited, because most of the fish in the deep sea were deeper than the living environment in the offshore and shallow seas, so the average medium-sized fishing boat Fish in the deep sea cannot be caught by trawling.

But now, the trawling net on the Golden Pearl has been modified to reach a depth of 300 meters, so this group of sea bass is just within the fishing range of the trawling net.

It didn't take long for everyone on the fishing boat to feel the shaking of the fishing boat at the same time, and the speed dropped rapidly, and they knew that the fish had entered the net.However, the fishing boat did not stop, but continued to move forward at a constant speed. It was not until the fishing boat became heavier and almost stopped that it began to draw in the net, because the fishing net basically reached the load-bearing limit at this time.

"Wow, what a big bag of fish."

"Is this the sea bass? There are a lot of them."

When the trawl net was pulled out of the sea, everyone exclaimed. The net was full of a large bag of sea bass, and then it was dumped on the deck like a hill, causing the fishing boat to sink slightly.

Sea bass differ from freshwater bass in that they are larger.The sea bass is thick and long, with very rough scales. Generally, the maximum length can reach 110-120cm, the weight is 1.5-1.8Kg, the lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw, and the fish mouth is sharper.
