Seven Hundred and Eighty-Three. Who Will Come Next
Divers enter the bottom of the sea with ropes, and in some cases, they put small balls along the ropes. As long as they see the small balls float up, the people on the boat will pull the ropes to help the divers come up.
Twenty minutes per person is relatively short, after all, it's just for fun.
Qin Shiou was the first to go into the sea. The water depth he chose was only more than 40 meters, but he had already explored it with the sea god's consciousness. There was a large piece of geoduck living nearby.
He had to win this game, two thousand yuan was a trivial matter, he wanted to impress the mercenaries who had just arrived at the fishing ground, and let them know that his reputation as the owner of the fishing ground was not in vain.
This time he was digging geoduck professionally, with more complete equipment. Qin Shiou entered the seabed with lush seaweed, stepped on the seaweed with his flippers to avoid getting his feet entangled, and then began to look for the breathing tube exposed on the sandy surface of the seabed.
Qin Shiou chose a place with the highest density of geoducks around. After carefully sweeping away the seaweed, he saw the orange tube protruding from the sand.
Because once the geoduck is dug out, it will not enter the sand layer to survive, so Qin Shiou only looks for the thicker pipe, which also means that there is a giant geoduck hidden underneath.
The geoduck is an aborigine of the fishery. It was not bred by Qin Shiou, but the result of the Newfoundland government spreading clam seedlings in the waters of Newfoundland. There are also some in the offshore waters of the fishery, weighing about one or two kilograms, and they have grown more than a dozen It's been more than twenty years, and many of them are older than Qin Shiou.
Once a resource like geoduck is damaged, it is difficult to recover, because the growth cycle is too long, so the treatment given by Qin Shiou is similar to that of bluefin tuna. Directly input Poseidon energy, instead of relying on them to obtain through seaweed.
Regardless of the offshore or deep sea, geoduck seedlings are abundant in fishing grounds. The Seagod's energy promoted their reproduction, and the clam seedlings were numerous and strong, and the chances of hatching were greatly increased.
Qin Shiou found a geoduck of suitable size, then inserted a probe into the sand with his left hand, and stirred up the surrounding sand with the high-pressure nozzle held in his right hand. He would not pick it up until the body of the geoduck was exposed. Put it in the waist pocket.
I can't fit many geoducks in my pocket. More than forty kilograms will cause the upper geoduck to crush the lower shell when the buoyancy decreases. Then the geoduck will be useless, and the geoduck entering the market must be whole, which is the case for all mussels.
Estimated that the weight filled a bag, Qin Shiou released a small ball.
The people on board were laughing and chatting. Guessing how many Qin Shiou can catch at a time, Haiying waited for the water with great ambitions. From his name, it can be heard that he is very good at doing underwater work.
Of the five mercenaries,
Only Haiying is the only one who came from a professional navy, not a wild monk like the Marine Corps.
"Ten or fifteen I guess. That's a pretty good mussel picker, isn't it? We haven't scouted the bottom of the ocean, after all."
"No, I'm very confident, I should be able to collect about 20..."
"Unbelievable. I bet he'd be awesome to collect ten..."
The mercenaries were chatting and laughing with cigarettes in their mouths, but before the doormat had finished speaking, a small ball floated up.
The bull grinned in surprise and said, "The work is really neat. Is this a bag of geoduck?"
Trigger was a little bit incredulous, and said, "It can't be that he's in some danger, right? It's only been five minutes, unless Poseidon is in the water, how could it be possible to collect so many geoducks?! Hey, guys, pull the rope. Pull it up first and then talk."
Smoke Gun and the others naturally knew Qin Shiou better than the mercenaries, although the boss didn't go into the water many times. But they know that the boss is definitely much better at water than they are, and the possibility of catching a bag of geoduck in five minutes is far greater than that he will encounter danger on the bottom of the sea.
So they pulled the double line, and sure enough, they quickly carried a bag full of fat geoducks.
The complacency on Osprey's face disappeared, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "Xite, you are so lucky that you encountered a group of geoduck clams right after you got out of the water?"
The bull smiled mysteriously and said, "No, it's not luck, of course you don't know..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Smoker coughed, secretly staring at the bull with vicious eyes.
Bull closed his mouth with a smirk. He originally wanted to say that Qin Shiou knew the Five Elements and Finding the Dragon Art, but he only remembered it when Shaq reminded him that it was a secret, and it should not be passed on except for core employees like them.
Thinking of this, Bull looked at the mercenaries with reservations: You guys are not qualified to know the secrets!
In twenty minutes, Qin Shiou delivered a total of four bags, and the amount of geoduck exceeded 100 kilograms.
This is the result of Qin Shiou's restraint. The umami taste of geoduck is very important. If you can't eat it, you can't freeze it, but you need to send it to the market as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at a high price.
Generally, in commercial activities, geoducks are harvested on a large scale first, and then packed ships and refrigerated trucks deliver the geoducks to customers all over Canada on the same day. There, the geoducks are sorted, graded and packaged in boxes. When it is shipped to Asia by air, only such a tight itinerary can ensure that the quality of the geoduck is fresh enough.
Yan Qiang and others carefully put the salvaged geoducks into the cages. This kind of cages is specially made and the space is narrow, which just locks the geoducks and prevents them from turning over and getting dirty.
The fishermen patiently tied up each geoduck so that they could not open their mouths, so as to help them survive as long as possible.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Shiou floated up from the water, took off his diving helmet and asked with a smile, "Who will come next?"
Zach pushed the bull, winked and said, "Dude, aren't you good at everything? You go, you go."
The bull is impatient, what kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, set me on fire?
He punched Zac first, then the bull waved his hands and said with a sneer, "I won't make a fool of yourself, damn it, I told you that I definitely can't win, otherwise why did you bet fifty yuan just now?"
The soldiers put their expectant eyes on the Osprey, and the Osprey showed a stiff smile on its face, and said, "I'll go down and try it, just in the waters near here."
The fishermen whistled immediately when they heard this, and the bull hissed, making fun of the Osprey's opportunism.
Indeed, in general competitions to catch mussels, divers are required to re-select the place by themselves.
But how dare the Osprey re-elect? According to his plan, in the 20 minutes, he spent 10 minutes searching for the habitat of geoducks, and the last 10 minutes to fish for geoducks. If he is lucky, he can catch a bag.
Now it seems that a bag of geoduck farts is useless.
