Golden Fishing Village

When he swam to the bottom of the sea, he did not fall, but turned over, stood upside down in the water with his hands, and stirred the mud on the bottom of the sea with his hands.

Soon, the mud floated, the bottom of the sea became turbid, and some shrimps covered with shells came out.

These shrimps have flat bodies and bright colors. There are shells on their backs, short legs under their abdomens, a large chest armor and two small tentacles on their heads. They are the famous mantis shrimps.

Mantis shrimps have many names, such as crawling shrimps, mantis shrimps, mantis shrimps, and mantis shrimps. Some places in Southeast Asia call them rich shrimps because they were quite expensive in ancient times and were a favorite seafood for the rich.

April to June is the golden season for eating mantis shrimps. At this time, they will lay eggs, which is the time of the year when they are rich in nutrition and tender in meat.

The brains of fat mantis shrimps are full of fat, and the meat is very tender and delicious, especially the female shrimps with eggs. They also have outstanding fragrance and taste very strong.

Ao Muyang's legs trembled, and with the help of the buoyancy of the seawater, he kept stirring up mud and sand on the seabed. The mantis shrimps that like to hide during the day and come out at night were frightened and rushed out one after another.

This is a method of catching mantis shrimps. Another method is to fish for shrimps, which is generally used on the beach at low tide. Fishing for shrimps on the seabed is not possible.

As more mantis shrimps crawled out, he picked the big ones and put them in the net bag hanging on his waist.

Although mantis shrimps are not an economic species in coastal shrimp production, their resources are abundant. They are caught and born every year, and every year is a bumper year for mantis shrimps.

The reason is that they are not easy to catch. They like to hide in the mud on the seabed. Fishing boats cannot catch them on a large scale, so their species is saved from extinction.

This thing has no risk of extinction, so it can be eaten with confidence. Ao Muyang specifically looks for female shrimps with seeds, and lets go of both small shrimps and male shrimps, so that this population can continue to reproduce.

Male and female mantis shrimps are very similar in appearance, the difference is that males are slightly larger. If they grow to 20 cm, you don't need to look too much, they are definitely male shrimps.

To identify them, you need to look at the last pair of walking legs on the chest of the shrimp. The second maxillary legs of males are thick, and there is a pair of rod-shaped copulator inside the last pair of walking legs on the chest, while females do not have it.

In addition, female shrimps have white "king"-shaped gelatinous glands on the ventral surface of the 6th to 8th thoracic segments during the breeding period, which is a signature feature.

While selecting female shrimps, he also released Jindan water vapor along the way, which is considered a feedback to this group of mantis shrimps.

For his behavior of constantly taking away the expectant mothers in the tribe and constantly releasing Jindan water vapor that is of great help to the tribe, I don't know whether the mantis shrimps should scold him or praise him for having a conscience.

With a full net bag of mantis shrimps, he surfaced again and continued to search for groupers.

In the evening, when the sunset was approaching, he found a sea area with muddy bottom.

Several big fish came into his sight. Their bodies were yellow-brown, with small reddish-brown round spots and several dark wide horizontal stripes scattered all over their bodies. Their tail fins were round, and they shook their heads and tails in high spirits.

Ao Muyang was refreshed. God would not let down those who work hard. This is a spotted grouper, a grouper with average economic value. The estimated market price is about 200 yuan per catty.

For fish, the price of 200 yuan per catty is considerable, but you have to know that this is a real grouper. Like his original target, the mouse grouper, a wild one costs 2,000 yuan!

The nickname of the spotted grouper is the blue grouper. It is also common to encounter them. Their number is much larger than that of the mouse grouper.

However, it is not bad to catch the spotted grouper. This fish has a characteristic of being big. The largest one Ao Muyang saw was nearly one meter long and worth an estimated three to four thousand yuan.

This depends on fishing. He hung the prepared fish meat on the hook and sprinkled it, and then paid close attention to these big fish.

The blue grouper is ferocious and greedy. It has no reason not to eat the bait that Ao Muyang almost puts in front of its mouth.

Soon, a big fish was hooked. Ao Muyang did not fight with it to catch it, but fixed the fishing rod and took the fishing net down to catch the turtle in the jar.

This can minimize the impact of its struggle as much as possible, giving him the opportunity to fish for other fish.

After catching the big fish on the boat, Ao Muyang froze it immediately. Grouper is naturally more valuable when it is fresh, but this fish is too big and his boat is too small to keep it alive.

To be honest, looking at these rare catches in the ocean, he really doesn't want to sell them just like that, but wants to have a farm to raise them.

Big blue groupers like this are very suitable for breeding. They have a strange ability called "sexual transformation". They can be female fish first and then become male fish. In this way, as long as a batch of blue groupers are caught for breeding, the population will inevitably expand in the future.

He worked until the moon was halfway up in the sky, and he harvested twelve blue groupers, all of which were wild large groupers, which could be sold for a lot of money.

Having a speedboat is comfortable. In the past, he had to row back after work, but now he only needed to go to the boat, and the speedboat would return to the dock.

When he arrived at the dock, he called Old Sun and asked him to come and pick up the fish tomorrow. At the same time, the clothes and shoes that Lu Zhizi bought online also arrived. The courier did not deliver them to the fishing village, so Ao Muyang contacted the courier and asked them to deliver them to Old Sun's Kitchen.

After the call, he saw another text message on his phone.

The text message was from Lu Hu, who apologized first, then said that he still couldn't get through to him, and asked if the lobsters were still kept.

Because the three-day deadline had passed since the end of the auction, Ao Muyang could complain and cancel the auction results.

Looking at the message, Ao Muyang curled his lips in displeasure. This Lu Hu was very unreliable. He thought about it and called back.

Finally, the call was connected this time.

A rough voice sounded: "Hello, Mr. Ao Muyang? I finally waited for your call. I am Lu Hu. I am sorry that I have not been to your place to complete the transaction."

Ao Muyang said: "It's okay, Mr. Lu. Otherwise, you can give me an address and I will send it to Hongyang for you."

Lu Hu said: "I am busy with something now. I am not in Hongyang. I am very sorry. But I sincerely want to buy your lobster. Is the lobster still alive?"

"Yes, intact." Ao Muyang curled his lips. The other party did not accept his door-to-door delivery, obviously not sincere to buy his lobster.

Lu Hu said: "Okay, then, you give me an account number, and I won't talk nonsense. This transaction is my responsibility and I will bear it myself. I will transfer the money to you first. You can help me raise the lobster temporarily. Later, I will go back to Hongyang to pick it up in person."

Ao Muyang sneered. He didn't even look at the lobster and transferred the money? Who is this guy trying to fool?

He thought this must be another scam, but he wanted to see what was going on, so he sent him his bank account number.

Not long after, a text message alert sounded: Your debit card account 8505 received RMB 42,000.00 on June 9, and the balance after the transaction was 222,878.25 [Bank of China].

He looked at the number the text message belonged to, 95566!

This made him confused. Did the other party really transfer the money? He even transferred the money without seeing the goods? ! And he transferred more money? !

Lu Hu called later: "Did you receive the money? I'll give you an extra 2,000 yuan, one to express my apology, and the other to trouble you to help me keep these two shrimps alive!"
