My deep sea fishery

Chapter 149

"Single-headed abalone is hard to find." Xiang Yang nodded, he knew this too, "I only found one after searching for so long. It is almost impossible to find a second one."

He Mingde was slightly taken aback.

"Xiao Yang?" He Mingde looked at Xiang Yang.

"It's also luck. I met a sea dog under the seabed. It found a single-headed abalone in a crack in the rock." Xiang Yang said: "If there was no sea dog, I wouldn't really be able to find the single-headed abalone. abalone."

"Captain, did you really find the single-headed abalone?" Chen Qingsheng was surprised and happy.

How long has Xiang Yang been down?

Chen Qingsheng and Xiang Yang went down together. After Chen Qingsheng came up, he didn't even have to smoke a cigarette and then he went up together.

In such a short time, Xiang Yang was able to find four three-headed abalones and one single-headed abalone. What does it mean?

"Don't waste time, Chen Qingsheng, you should finish smoking quickly and ask a few people to bring tools and go into the sea with me." Xiang Yang decided to pry the boulder away with a tool, and then carefully pry off the single-headed abalone with a knife , "The single-headed abalone I found was hiding in a crack in the stone, and a few people need help to pry the stone away.

Chen Qingsheng immediately flicked the cigarette butt, "What else do you smoke? I'm going to get the iron rod."

He Mingde is also eager to try. To tell the truth, he has been wandering at sea for many years and has never seen a single-headed abalone so far.

Even Zhou Wang and Xu Fang volunteered to go down with Xiang Yang to pry the boulder, only for the purpose of seeing the single-headed abalone before the other crew members.

Soon, Chen Qingsheng found six steel pipes from the cabin.

Xiang Yang took one by himself, and then swam towards the sea with five crew members holding steel pipes.

"Be careful, don't touch the abalone when the steel pipe is prying the rock. You will damage the abalone." Xiang Yang gestured to the stone.

The crew nodded one after another, indicating that they understood.

"Strong hard." Xiang Yang took the lead to insert one end of the steel pipe into the gap in the rock and broke it with force.

Chen Qingsheng and others also followed suit.

Fortunately, although the two rocks are large, one of them is not a reef. Otherwise, the bottom of the reef is directly linked to the oceanic plate, let alone six people or sixty people.

With Xiang Yang and the other five crew members working hard together, the rock that was as high as one person was prying little by little.

All the people who saw the rock being pried were excited. Everyone knew that they would be able to see the true face of the single-headed abalone in a while.

Even the fur seal was very excited, and turned around Xiang Yang and the others, his tail wagging fast.

The rock was slowly pried away.

Xiang Yang loosened the steel pipe and dropped it directly on the ground, looking at the single-headed abalone with excitement.

This abalone is really old. Normally this kind of abalone has a lifespan of only five to eight years. If the abalone grows three centimeters a year, this abalone can definitely be regarded as the old birthday star in the abalone family if it is not mutated.

An abalone's old age does not mean that his suction power will decrease.

The abalone shell with a diameter of nearly eighteen centimeters adheres tightly to the reef, and there is no trace of cracks in it from the front or the side.

Xiang Yang tried to break with his hands again.

The abalone doesn't move.

Master Xu Fang patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder from behind, and signaled Xiang Yang to let him come.

Xiang Yang shook his head slightly. He knew that Xu Fang wanted to pry the abalone off the rock with a knife. Abalone at this age could not withstand the shock of the mountain. The violent vibration might end its life directly, so he had to remove it from the rock. Such a big abalone can only be pried slowly with a blade. It is a very precise technical work. No one can guarantee that it will absolutely not harm the abalone's flesh or shell.

Xiang Yang shook his head not because he didn't believe in Xu Fang's craftsmanship, but because Xiang Yang wanted to do it himself.

Prying a single-headed abalone is a very challenging job whether it is Xiang Yang or Xu Fang. Xu Fang's voluntary application is Xu Fang consciously that he is the oldest and the most experienced.

Xiang Yang wanted to come by himself because he was afraid that he would blame himself in case Xu Fang hurt the abalone when he pried the abalone. If Xiang Yang pried the abalone himself, then everyone would have nothing to say.

Xiang Yang carefully cut the blade edge of the butterfly knife into the gap between the abalone and the rock, and the sharp blade was close to the rock from beginning to end.

Later, Xiang Yang exerted a slight force and turned the back of the butterfly knife up, and the single-headed abalone immediately fell off the rock.

Xiang Yang hurriedly caught it with his hands.

When the single-headed abalone was caught, a group of people immediately went upstream, and even the sea dogs followed closely.

"Haha, I caught it, I actually caught it, let me see it soon." He Mingde on the deck took the abalone from Xiang Yang and turned over and over, a little bit fond of it.

Xiang Yang is also laughing, "It's not easy, everyone has worked hard. I will invite everyone to drink after I go back this time."

"Just drinking?" Someone asked disappointedly.

"We use abalone to serve wine and food." Xiang Yang smiled.

The crew immediately cheered.

He Mingde handed the abalone to Chen Qingsheng, "Old Chen, go and weigh it to see if this abalone is a single-headed abalone."

"No need to weigh, this is definitely a single-headed abalone." Chen Qingsheng affirmed.

Xiang Yang also smiled and said: "This is definitely a single-headed abalone, but a perfect-quality single-headed abalone. Maybe we find it one or two months later and it will naturally grow old."

Everyone nodded their heads, with a look of approval, no one doubted Xiang Yang's words.

The saying that it is hard to buy double-headed abalone for thousands of years is not in vain.

Even in the context of today's outbreak of abalone farming, double-headed abalone are extremely rare.

Even the double-headed abalone is like this. The value of the single-headed abalone is naturally conceivable.

"At most two months old will die naturally?" Fang Youqun became anxious when he heard it, "Will it become worthless if it grows old?"

"No." Xiang Yang shook his head and said: "Please use the top chefs to prepare the abalone with the best craftsmanship. Its price will only be higher. There has never been a saying that fresh abalone is more valuable than dead. "

Xiang Yang's statement is reliable. Our country has a long history of making dried abalone.

Rumor has it that as early as two thousand years ago, Sun Quan ordered everyone to send a single-headed dried abalone to General Zhao Yun and Prime Minister Zhuge, in order to buy Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang.

But who is Zhao Zilong?

Who is Zhuge Kongming?

One is the loyal and righteous man in Taoyuan, although he hasn't made the golden orchid.

The other is also the prime minister who has dedicated himself to his death.

Sun Quan gave the abalone to them, naturally, just like Prime Minister Cao gave the Chitu to Guan Yunchang, Guan Yu immediately sprinted on the Chitu.

Xiangyang was in a great mood when he caught a single-headed abalone, and he ordered: "Hurry up and clear a water tank alone. This abalone must be taken care of."
