Golden Fishing Village

Under the powerful buoyancy, the crab cage was slowly dragged up.

Hundreds of crab cages were connected by cables, and when they slowly floated up in the water one after another, they looked like a long dragon on the seabed, which looked quite spectacular.

The speed of the crab cage rising was faster than that of Ao Muyang's floating up. After all, this was a deep dive, and the diver's diving and floating speed had to be slow, otherwise it would easily cause decompression sickness.

Ao Muyang did not have this problem, but with so many people outside, he had to keep a low profile and not appear too different.

In this way, when he floated to the surface of the sea, the crab cage had already floated up.

As soon as he came out of the sea, two big men immediately lifted him onto the boat. There were Lin Rongyao, Jin Daba and others on the boat. After seeing him, Lin Rongyao immediately shouted: "Come on, folks, give our comrade a quack!"

Applause suddenly rang out.

Ao Muyang didn't think it was a big deal. He smiled indifferently, "It's just a small matter..."

"A small matter?" Lin Rongyao said in surprise, "Comrade Xiao Ao, this is not a small matter. You have made great contributions to our village. Unfortunately, I am not a leader, and you are not a soldier under my command. Otherwise, I must ask for a credit for you."

"What level of credit do you want to ask for?" Jin Daba joined in the fun.

"First-class credit." Others joked.

Lin Rongyao waved his hand, "That won't work. In peacetime, the first-class credit of the army is reserved for family members, and the second-class credit is reserved for good soldiers in the ward. However, our comrade Xiao Ao really won a first-class credit this time."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "It's really not a difficult thing for me. Village chief, there's nothing else. Let's go back and eat. We didn't have breakfast, and we are very hungry."

This fishing trip is easy to say, but in fact the process is very long. It takes nearly an hour to dive and float in the water.

In order to make his skills look less different, Ao Muyang stayed in the water for a while, which was another hour and a half.

Lin Rongyao waved his hand and said, "We must have a good meal. Let's go to my house for lunch. You can get some fruit first and then have a big meal."

Ao Mudong laughed and said, "Village chief, do you want money?"

Lin Rongyao slapped him on the back with his rough hands and scolded him with a smile, "You cowardly soldier, what do you think of me? This meal must be free. Not only is it free, but I have to give you gifts."

He arranged for a few people to pack up the crab cages, and the others returned home.

On the way, he directed Jin Daba again: "Go and set up some bamboo cages to see if you can get some good big blue crabs. Let's let the comrades taste the specialties of Jinhou Island at noon!"

The name of the big blue crab is more of a common name for the pseudo-burrowing blue crab. The green-sawed blue crab is more ferocious than the pseudo-burrowing blue crab, and it is more difficult to breed artificially. The blue crabs farmed in China are mainly pseudo-burrowing blue crabs, and the green-sawed blue crabs are quite rare.

But this kind of crab is really delicious. They mainly feed on fish, shrimp and shellfish. They have delicious meat, rich nutrition and the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body.

Especially for female crabs that are about to get pregnant, red or yellow paste will be produced in their bodies. This kind of crab is called "paste crab" in southern China and is known as "sea ginseng". It is rich in protein and trace elements and has a stronger nourishing effect on the body.

There are a lot of green crabs around Jinhou Island. This new type of crab cage is set up for the purpose of experimental breeding of green crabs. The National Fisheries Development Center wants to promote the breeding model of this precious sea crab.

Wild green crabs live in the muddy bottom of the shallow sea near the coast and the estuary. There is a small river flowing in Jinhou Island. It has an estuary, but it is relatively narrow, so it is not very conspicuous.

The green crabs produced in this place are the fattest and most delicious, and the crab cages in the village are placed here.

Ao Muyang thought that the crab cages at the estuary were also the modern fishing cages in the water, but they were not, but a kind of earthen cage with local characteristics.

This crab cage is made of bamboo strips and hung on a bamboo pole. One end of the bamboo pole with the crab cage is inserted into the riverbed, and the other end is exposed above the water. In this way, when a crab crawls into the crab cage, the bamboo pole will shake.

Jin Daba put the crab cage down, and someone came over and said, "Hey, old man, didn't we agree not to put crab cages at the river mouth?"

This person should be a villager from Dajin Village, and his tone was not very friendly.

Jin Daba glanced at him and said, "We have a distinguished guest here. The village chief asked me to come and get a few big blue crabs to entertain the distinguished guest. At that time, it was agreed that in this special situation, blue crabs can be caught at the river mouth."

Ao Muyang felt that the two villages were not getting along well, and he estimated that this villager was going to quarrel with Jin Daba.

As a result, the villager looked at Ao Muyang, then accepted the explanation, and walked away with his hands behind his back...

From this point of view, the relationship between the two villages is not very bad.

He didn't need to worry about this, and he assisted Jin Daba in catching crabs.

There was bait in the crab cage. The green crab is ferocious and greedy. Less than ten minutes after the bamboo cage was put down, a thin bamboo pole began to shake.

The river was about one or two meters deep, and the bamboo pole was only half a meter above the water.

Seeing the bamboo pole shaking, Jin Daba swam over and scooped it up.

He dragged the bamboo basket ashore, and there was a big crab with a green shell inside. This was the green crab.

Jin Daba opened the crab cage, and the big crab immediately waved its big claws to demonstrate.

In the end, it was useless. Jin Daba grabbed it from behind and threw it into a frame.

The green crab has a strong ability to withstand drought. After leaving the water, as long as there is a small amount of water in the gill cavity to keep the gill filaments moist, it can survive for several days or even dozens of days.

Ao Muyang knew this, so he thought about it and said, "I see there are a lot of these blue crabs in your breeding cages. Can you get me a batch? I will pay for the seedlings and go back and try to breed them."

Because he was asked by Jin Daba to fish out the crab pot, this not only helped the village, but also helped Jin Daba and gave him face in the village.

Therefore, Jin Daba was very grateful to him and said after listening to his words: "No problem, but it will be difficult if you want to cultivate the appearance of this estuary. The blue crabs here at the estuary are the best, the taste is particularly beautiful, and they belong to our island. Specialties on the market.”

Ao Muyang said: "As long as there are pure crab seedlings, it doesn't have to reach the level of the river mouth."

The green blue crabs here at the mouth of the island are really plump, with round heads and fat bellies, and they are heavy in the hand. It is obvious that even if there is no crab paste inside, there is still thick crab meat.

Using this simple fishing method, they caught more than 20 blue crabs in one hour.

Looking at the number, Jin Daba put away the crab pots: "Okay, we can't catch any more. We have to maintain the number of crabs here."

The crabs were put in a bamboo basket. The opening of the bamboo basket was very large, but no crab could climb out, because these crabs started fighting after they got in. If one crab climbed up the basket, the others would pull it down and beat it up. It was really Internal strife is here!
