space fisherman

The fishing boat was preparing to set sail. Ye Yuan habitually used his senses to scan the seabed of this sea area. What surprised Ye Yuan was that there were countless conchs on this seabed.

At first, Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention to this, but just when Ye Yuan was about to take back his perception, he found a conch bead in a dead conch, which made Ye Yuan unable to believe his perception.

I can't be so lucky, right? I just picked up a few shark carcasses, and immediately picked up conch beads at the same place?

You must know that conch pearls are very rare pearls.

Conch beads are a rare and expensive natural jewelry.

Its unique feature is that beneath its smooth surface, there is a unique and bright flame. Another feature is that the pearl does not grow in the body of the clam, but slowly forms in the body of the conch.

It takes about 50,000 conches to get a usable conch pearl, and only 2,000-3,000 conch pearls are discovered every year.

Only 20%-30% of conch pearls can be used for jewelry processing. In other words, only about 600 conch pearls can be made into jewelry worldwide every year.

Of course, Ye Yuan couldn't miss such a precious thing. He ordered the crew to stay on the ship and went to the sea to have a look.

After saying that, Ye Yuan was frightened directly into the sea. The crew members were worried that Ye Yuan was in danger. After all, there was a lot of shark blood in this sea area.

But no one expected that Ye Yuan would be frightened into the sea so quickly. Everyone had to take out their spearguns and be on guard on the boat, so that if sharks were found, they could be dispersed.

Ye Yuan came to the place where the conch bead was found, picked up the conch bead he found, and put it into the space.

Then he used his senses to search for the conches under the sea.

It can be said that the conches here cannot be measured by quantity.

That's because there are so many conches here.

There was no end in sight at a glance. Ye Yuan searched for a long time before he found another conch bead in the body of another conch.

Ye Yuan was very satisfied after finding two, and filled a net bag full of conches before returning to the boat.

When the crew saw Ye Yuan coming back, they felt relieved.

When everyone saw Ye Yuan coming up with a bag of conches, everyone had a strange look on their face.

It’s not that conch is bad, but because the price is really affordable, there are very few fishing boats dedicated to catching it.

Ye Yuan also knew what everyone was thinking, hehe said:

"Nothing. I went down to see what was there. I didn't find anything else, so I grabbed a pocketful of this."

After saying that, he handed the net bag to Gong Hongzhuang.

"Let's make it, it's pretty good."

"Okay, I'll make a few more kilograms of shark meat later, the boss will appreciate my craftsmanship."

Gong Hongzhuang didn't care why Ye Yuan went there, he was only responsible for cooking anyway.

After saying that, he took the net bag from Ye Yuan's hand and went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

While the fishing boat was sailing, it had already cast the trawl net into the sea and started its first sea fishing in the Indian Ocean.

Ye Yuan returned to the room and first took out the two conch beads he found under the sea. Maybe Ye Yuan was lucky today. The two conch beads were round and not irregular in shape.

Ye Yuan looked at the two conch beads and liked them very much. He didn't look carefully at the seabed just now due to time constraints.

Only then do I have time to appreciate the rare treasure.

The patterns on the surface of these two conch beads looked like bright flames.

This kind of flame is not only obvious from the appearance, but also sometimes delicate and soft, sometimes passionate and unrestrained, making it appear extremely noble.

After playing with it for a while, Ye Yuan put away the two conch beads in his hand. Seeing that it was already lunch time, Ye Yuan came to the restaurant.

At this time, Gong Hongzhuang had already prepared lunch. Looking at the table full of seafood, with a plate of fried vegetable leaves in the middle, Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If on land, such a table of dishes can be considered luxurious, but on the sea, the most indispensable thing is seafood, but vegetables and fruits are the precious ingredients.

This is because there are only a small number of people on Ye Yuan's boat and the fishing boat is large, so that the crew can have food for every meal. For ordinary fishing boats, one meal a day is considered good.

Looking at the fried shark meat, Ye Yuan still shook his head helplessly, these guys still did this after all.

At this time, the crew entered the restaurant one after another, and everyone found their fixed place to sit down and wait for the meal.

Yu Hongbo was the last one to enter the restaurant. When he saw Ye Yuan was there, he nodded towards him.

Then he clapped his hands a few times to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone, eat faster. The fishing nets have been cast down for 2 hours. After dinner, let's raise the nets. Speed, speed."

After saying this, I found a place to sit down and started eating.

Ye Yuan usually eats with these crew members, but he has never seen them eating so fast.

When Yu Hongbo finished speaking, the speed at which everyone devoured the food was worthy of their background as soldiers.

Before Ye Yuan had eaten half of the rice in his hand, all the crew members had already started to get up and walk towards the deck.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan also speeded up his eating speed. After a few mouthfuls, he put all the remaining rice into his mouth, took a random bite of vegetables, and followed the crew out.

Ye Yuan also wanted to see the fish catch of his first net in the Indian Ocean.

When Ye Yuan came to the deck, the mixer had already started to move. As the mixer rotated, desire was rising toward the sea.

Ye Yuan did not use his senses to detect the bottom of the sea. After all, the fishing net was coming up soon, so there was no need to waste his mental energy.

As the fishing net was lifted above the deck by the crane, everyone could see a large bag full of fish hanging on the deck.

All crew members put on gloves and got ready to start sorting the fish.

Wearing gloves is one of the necessary work procedures for crew members. After all, there are many poisonous creatures in the sea. If you are accidentally injured by these creatures, it will be a very troublesome thing.

As the bottom rope was pulled out, a large bag of fish piled up on the deck like a hill. This bag of fish was mainly composed of octopus, with some sea crabs and miscellaneous fish mixed in.

Octopus is one of the most common seafood in the ocean. Octopus is just a general name. If broken down, there are as many as 256 species.

The largest octopus caught by Ye Yuan and the others this time was more than 1 meter long, and the smallest one reached 30 centimeters. It was pretty good, and visually estimated that it weighed a thousand pounds.

At this time, the crew began to sort the octopuses and put them into different plastic baskets according to the size of the octopuses. This should be beneficial to the selling price when disembarking.

After all, octopuses of different sizes are not the same in terms of price and convenience.

Return some of the smaller ones to the sea.

Ye Yuan looked at the skilled sorting of the crew and felt very pleased. After all, these retired soldiers who had only gone to sea with him a few times already looked like fishermen.
