After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

Lin Gong merchants used to dig blue crabs, covered in mud and sweat, and only dug two or three crabs in two or three hours.

I had a great luck today, and I dug five of them in more than two hours, and three of them were big ones weighing more than one catty. According to the current purchase price of 60 yuan per catty for large wild male blue crabs and 80 yuan per catty for large wild female blue crabs , he can sell more than 500 yuan this morning, even after tax deductions, there are more than 300 yuan.

This income is so considerable that Lin Gongshang feels a little proud in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Ao didn't talk to him on the other side of the river, he simply put his straw hat on his head and waded over with a bucket in his hand to see what Lu Ao got.

Running in front of Lu Ao, he probed his head to look at Lu Ao's bucket, and comforted him: "It's normal for you to dig for the first time, and you can't dig much, so don't be depressed."

Lu Ao just dug up a blue crab and was tying a rope, so he glanced at him.

Lu Ao didn't want to hit him at first, but couldn't stand his snarling, so he simply lifted the lid of the bucket and put the blue crab in his hand.

Merchant Lingong saw that the bucket was full of grass, and the blue crab that had just been put in was on top, with half of the cover of the blue crab sticking out of the bucket.

He froze for a moment, "Fuck, why is there so much grass in your bucket? Are you here to catch blue crabs or pull weeds? Hey, no, there seem to be blue crabs underneath, and your bucket is full of blue crabs?!"

Lu Ao: "Don't you know if you pour out the blue crab and take a look?"

Lin Gongshang already felt a little bad from his words, and he felt that he shouldn't want to see it.

However, people are always curious. He couldn't hold back the curiosity in his mind. After two seconds of silence, he said, "I'll come out and have a look."

Lu Ao stood beside him holding the iron tongs, nodding his head to signal him to fall down.

Lin Gongshang wiped his hands on his muddy clothes, and silently stepped forward to pour out Lu Ao's bucket of blue crabs.

"One, two, three, four... nine?" Lin Gongshang turned his head to look at Lu Ao, his eyebrows raised high, and his voice trembled a little, "You dug nine blue crabs this morning?"

Lu Ao didn't answer the obvious question.

Lin Gongshang yelled "Ah", powerlessly, "Fuck! Why are you so lucky in everything? You can even dig blue crabs twice as much as people."

Lu Ao glanced at him, "I am strong and dig fast."

Lingong merchant: "..."

He was so tired that he didn't want to compare himself with this freak.

The two were talking, when Lin Qiyan heard the voice, and while wiping his sweat with his dirty shirt, he rushed over with a bucket and an equipment bag on his back.

Seeing him, Lin Gongshang decided to find a balance for himself, and asked, "Lin Qiyan, how many blue crabs did you catch?"

Lin Qiyan was a little depressed, "There's only one. I'm not lucky. Even digging out a few holes is empty. This one took a lot of effort to get out."

Merchant Lingong grinned, "I took out five of them, all of them were big ones, and three of them weighed a pound."

"It's not bad." Lin Qiyan envied, "The one I took out was just a small one, and it was four taels to death. Rounding it up, it means that I didn't catch anything all morning."

Lin Qiyan took advantage of the situation and looked at Lu Ao who caught the blue crab back into the bucket again, curious, "Where's Lu Ao? How many did you catch?"

"Nine."

"Ah, nine?" Lin Qiyan was in disbelief, walked up to Lu Ao, squatted down and looked, "You took out nine in such a short time?!"

Lu Ao nodded.

Lin Qiyan looked down, "Let me see, one, two, three... wait! Lu Ao, you are a blue crab."

"What's wrong?" Lin Gongshang also approached again, "I just glanced at it, it's all right, it's all fresh blue crabs."

Lin Qiyan lightly touched the back shell of the blue crab in front of him with the iron tongs, hesitating, "This... isn't this a butter crab?"

Lin Gongshang squatted down, picked up the blue crab that was still covered in mud, and looked at it carefully, "Fuck! It really is!"

Butter crabs are transformed from female blue crabs. Mature female blue crabs are stimulated by strong sunlight when they lay eggs. The crab paste in the body is transformed into golden yellow oil, which penetrates into all parts of the body. The crab body is yellow, so it is called butter crab. .

Butter crabs are more than ten times more expensive than ordinary blue crabs.

Lu Ao had never seen this before, so he didn't recognize it for a moment.

After the two shouted, Lu Ao took the crab from Lin Qiyan's hand.

The crab is quite big, and it is heavy in the hand, no matter how heavy it is, it weighs two or three pounds.

Lu Aoti went to the river to wash it up, and soon found out that something was wrong.

This blue crab is obviously different from other blue crabs, its back is slightly orange-yellow, turned over, the abdomen and crab claws are very plump yellow, round and round, it makes people appetite greatly.

Lin Gongshang was eager to try, and said: "Come, let's take a look at the appearance of this butter crab."

"What do you think?"

"I come!"

Merchant Lin Gong took the butter crab again, and gently pressed it to cover his position, only to feel that his hand was soft, and the crab paste had melted into oil.

Looking at the crab legs again, each crab leg is full of yellow, which dazzles people's eyes.

He lifted the crab up, pointed its back at the sunlight, and covered the back of the crab with his hand. It was obvious that the sides of the butter crab's shell were translucent, indicating that the crab paste in the butter crab was basically used up. It's full of butter.

Lin Gongshang sighed, "Boss, the crab oil has penetrated into the joints, and the back is also full. You are so lucky."

Lin Qiyan couldn't help showing envious eyes beside him.

Butter crabs are divided into several grades. The top butter crabs are also called head hands. Butter crabs of this size cost [-] catties in wholesale.

This is the price of last year.

Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, it is the first batch of butter crabs, and the price must be higher.

Lin Gongshang looked at the butter crab in his hand, and then at the few big blue crabs in his bucket, and instantly felt dull.

He gently put the butter crab back into Lu Ao's bucket, and reminded, "Place this butter crab carefully, and don't break the crab's legs, otherwise the butter will flow out, and the crab will be worthless."

Lin Qiyan hurriedly brought his bucket over, "Lu Ao, why don't you put the butter crab in my bucket alone. I can just carry this little blue crab."

Lu Ao was not polite to him, "Thank you."

As he spoke, he divided the blue crabs and was about to carry them back.

Lin Gongshang was gearing up, "Wait a minute, let's wash the other blue crabs first, maybe there are other butter crabs in here?"

Lin Qiyan couldn't help it, "The butter crab is so rare, how can there be such a probability to find the second and third?"

Lin Gongshang refused to give up, "Who knows? Wash it first, it won't get in the way."

Lin Gongshang insisted that Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan had no choice but to follow him to wash the crabs under the scorching sun.

The blue crabs they caught were all tied up, and it was almost impossible to escape.

The three of them took all the blue crabs they caught to the river and washed them.

As Lin Qiyan said, catching one butter crab was considered lucky, and they never saw another butter crab.

Lin Gong merchant was a little disappointed, carrying a bucket and followed them to Linwu Village, languid all the way.

When the three of Lu Ao arrived at Lin Manzhang's house, he drank tea with Lin Guixiao and Tan Junhao.

Ye Zhiying was cooking. From the kitchen window, she saw the three of Lu Ao coming in from the door. She hurried to the window to say hello, "Are you back?"

"Hmm. Sister-in-law, where's Brother Zhang?"

"They're all drinking tea in the house. You go find him, have a sip of tea first, and eat soon."

Lu Ao said: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll go back and eat, so I don't need to cook for me."

"No need for anything? I've already prepared it." Ye Zhiying enthusiastically said, "My younger brother brought me some big oysters. I steamed two large pots of garlic oysters for lunch today. They are all steamed. You can go back after eating."

Hearing their voices, Lin Manzhang came out to look, and seeing that it was indeed them, he hurriedly said, "What are you going back for? Come in and have a cup of tea and a piece of melon to cool off the heat, and come back in the afternoon!"

As he said that, he stepped forward and took one of the buckets in Lu Ao's hands without any explanation. When he picked it up, his face was full of surprise, "This bucket is really heavy. How many blue crabs have you caught?"

Lin Gongshang was listless, "Lin Qiyan has one, I have five, Lu Ao has nine, and one of them is a big butter crab."

Lin Manzhang looked into the bucket subconsciously, "Really? We haven't seen butter crabs in five or six years."

"Is there still a fake?"

Lin Manzhang soon saw the butter crab in the bucket on the other side of Lu Ao.

He lifted the butter crab to look at it. The claws of the crab were round and bright yellow. "Hey, it really is! Good luck!"

Lin Guixiao and Tan Junhao also came out to watch, and they were also amazed.

A group of people returned to the living room, drinking tea while blowing on the fan.

The blue crab is properly placed in a relatively shady corner of the living room.

Lin Manzhang suggested: "We have about forty blue crabs in total. Why don't we go to Longxiang Wharf and sell them together? The price is higher there."

Lin Gongshang wiped his sweat, "Let's go after three o'clock, it's too hot today."

"Alright, let's go by car, don't drive the tricycle."

Several people negotiated in a few words.

Ye Zhiying cooked the meal, everyone stood up, serving the dishes, and serving the rice, ready to eat.

Everyone had a good meal and went home to rest.

Lu Ao was the last to leave. Before he left, he asked, "Brother Zhang, do you know where there are dragon grouper seedlings, black sea bream seedlings and other fish fry for sale?"

"There is a fish fry farm over there at Longxiang Wharf. Why do you ask this? Do you want to raise fish?"

"I've caught too many fish these days, buy some and put them in the sea."

Lin Manzhang was puzzled, "Where is the release in the sea? Have you obtained your fishery qualification certificate? If you want to open fish rafts to raise fish, you have to report separately."

"If you don't keep it, just put it in the sea." Lu Ao said, "It's not easy for fish to grow up. Let me add the types of fish I killed."

Lin Manzhang's expression was a little blank, and after a while, he said, "You mean you want to buy some fish fry and release them?"

"Well, that's what it means."

Ye Zhiying listened to it, and couldn't help but said: "How many fish can you catch, why do you need to buy fish fry and release them? It's a waste of money."

"It's not a lot. I have earned money, so I have to give something back."

Lin Manzhang's family has been fishermen for three generations. This is the first time he heard this kind of view, and he couldn't react to it.

Fishermen don't rely on the sky for their food, so why do they have to bring their own fishing seedlings?

After a while, Lin Manzhang said: "Frylings of giant grouper are not cheap, at least seven or eight yuan a piece."

Lu Ao said: "It's okay, I'll just buy one or two thousand yuan, not too much."
