Originally I just wanted to see if I could catch a few small green dragons, but I didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
Wild sea cucumber is "sea ginseng", the king of hundreds of supplements. According to ancient books, sea cucumber, wild cordyceps, mountain ganoderma and deer fetus in the forest are also known as the "four natural immortals".
Ye Yaodong threw the sea cucumber in his hand into the bucket of sea water, and also caught the few little green dragons that had escaped and put them in. These little green dragons were also very fat, with their tails curled up, and each of them looked like they had four legs.
Five taels.
There are also several fish caught together on the deck, including three nine-segmented shrimps, which are quite big, as well as bass, turbot, sole fish, small rays, and a few small colorful striped ones.
The coral reef fish looked alive and kept moving its mouth, so he released it directly.
"I'll clean it up, you continue to collect the cages." Ye's father urged him happily, and put all the fish on the deck into other fish baskets.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay."
He pulled one end of the rope and continued to twist the ground cage, and successfully pulled up the second ground cage. Through the fishing net, they all saw the little green dragon crawling inside.
"There are several more little green dragons."
The wrinkles at the corners of Father Ye's eyes made deep grooves appear from laughter, "Okay, okay, these fish are not bad, let's untie them first..."
As soon as the fish collection bag was released, it was scattered on the ground again, but this time there was only one sea cucumber.
"I don't know how many years these sea cucumbers have grown. Each one is quite big, and the thorns on their bodies are also thick."
Wild sea cucumbers grow in deep sea areas. Due to the challenges of water depth pressure, ocean current surges, tides, etc., as well as having to rely on themselves to hunt for food and having a large amount of activity, sea cucumber spines have become thick, short, and powerful.
The main thing for sea cucumbers is whether their spines are thick and strong. Only thick and powerful spines mean they have good vitality. Only in this way will the taste and nutritional value of sea cucumbers be high.
Sea cucumbers have a short growth period and do not need to feed themselves. The water for breeding is shallow, the pressure is low, the environment is relatively quiet, and there are no natural tides and other factors, so the spines of sea cucumbers become more slender.
Of course what he caught was purely wild. He held it in his hand, rubbed it back and forth with his thumb and scratched it several times, and then counted the sea cucumbers and little green dragons again.
In the second ground cage, I caught 1 sea cucumber, 3 small green dragons, and five or six nine-segmented shrimps. I won’t talk about the fish. Once I knew what I was doing, I gave them to my father to sort them out, and he continued to collect them.
But when he pulled it, he found that it couldn't be pulled.
"Oh? It's over. You were really hooked?"
"Hooked?" Father Ye put down the goods on hand and walked to the side of the ship. He tried to pull it, but found that it really couldn't be pulled.
"How to fix it? I was originally worried that I would get caught and couldn't be pulled up, but it was really stuck, so I pulled two of them up..."
Ye Yaodong had already expected it. After all, there was a reef underneath, and it was normal for him to be hooked.
He calmly turned around and went to the small cabin to take out the diving equipment he brought specially for the night and the homemade net bag, "I'll go into the water and take a look."
Father Ye watched him neatly take off his coat, put on his goggles and air tube, then took off the solid plastic block from the footmuffs, took off his shoes and put them on. He was just surprised, how could Dongzi have all these things?
"This... is it okay for you to bring these? Does it work? When did you buy it, and does it work? The deeper the water, the stronger the pressure..."
"I don't know if it will work. I'll try to see how deep I can dive first. There are reefs underneath and there was a shipwreck some time ago. It shouldn't be very deep."
These were obtained from Lin Jishang, and there are English on them, so they shouldn't be too bad.
After doing a few simple warm-up exercises, he jumped into the water following Ye's father's earnest instructions.
He was not in a hurry to dive in. He tried swimming in shallow water for a while to get familiar with it, and then tested the tightness of the mask to see if the fins would fall off easily while swinging.
There was nothing wrong with it. After he got used to it, he dived down.
Last year, he didn't have any tools. He only dived less than ten meters before he felt the air pressure was a bit too high, making him uncomfortable to float up. This time, he felt it was okay.
I slowly swung my fins and dived about five meters. The visibility of the water here is very good. There is still enough light under the water. I can clearly see the small fish and shrimps swimming around.
Looking down, I could vaguely see a sunken ship tilting, with its bow pointing upward, right next to the reef.
He continued to dive in the direction of the underwater reefs and fishing boats.
When he went down to about ten meters under the sea, he felt fine and didn't feel any discomfort. As expected, he still had to use tools.
Although the surrounding underwater landscape is not very clear at this depth and looks a bit gray, the light is still very bright and there are more big fish swimming around, but not in groups, just sporadically swimming by.
Just at this time, two bass, one large and one small, were swimming towards him. The big one weighed five or six kilograms, and the small one seemed to weigh about three kilograms. It was a pity that he didn't have any tools to catch it, so he had to ignore it.
.
There were also seven or eight mullet fish swimming in front of him at the same time on the left. He also got out of the way and continued diving below.
He didn't know how deep he had dived, but it was estimated to be about thirteen or fourteen meters. He didn't feel any discomfort on his body, so he boldly headed downward toward the reef around the fishing boat.
Not far away, he saw a small blue dragon swimming around, a small group of nine-segmented shrimp, assorted small fish, and a ground cage stuck on the reef nearby.
Having found his target, he was immediately overjoyed and swung his flippers towards the reef.
Just then, a small green dragon was swimming towards him. He didn't want anything given to him for free, so he caught it easily.
I saw it struggling hard, its tentacles moving wildly, and its body constantly curling up and letting go, curling up again, trying to escape, but how could Ye Yaodong let go of the thing he got and let it run away.
He happily put it into the net bag on his waist and stretched out his claws towards the nine-segmented shrimps around him.
The small group of nine-segmented shrimps were so frightened that they ran around. He used both hands at the same time, but he only caught two.
After putting it in the net bag, he did not continue to catch it, but first moved the hooked ground cage from the reef to the side so that he could pull it up after landing a while later.
There were several small green dragons crawling happily in the underground cage. He was not in a hurry and went to catch them now. He would pull them up and untie them later. He also had other items in his net bag.
The nearby reef was densely covered with conchs and abalone, and there were occasionally a few small green dragons and small fish swimming through the gaps, which made him very excited.
He grabbed the little green dragon within reach first.
To catch lobster, you need to catch it from the back, because it uses its tail to flick back and swim back.
Because there are crevices in the rocks all around, the space is small. As long as you can reach them with your hands, they are easy to catch. He caught three in a row, and one of them escaped. The others were hiding in the crevices. Without any tools at hand, it was enough.
Don't touch it too much inside.
I still have too little experience, otherwise I can just bring a small hand-made net.
He glanced around again and didn't see the little green dragon anymore. He saw that it was not far from the bottom. After thinking about it, he went down a little further and let his feet touch the ground first.
As for the abalones swarming and lying on the rocks, he was not in a hurry to dig them out because they couldn't escape.
He didn't know whether this area was offshore or because the bottom crust had moved and the water was not very deep. He estimated that it was only a dozen meters away from the sea.
There was soft sand under my feet, and there were various large and small stones on the side. I scanned the surroundings and found that except for the sound of water, it felt a bit eerily quiet, but fortunately there were many underwater creatures around.
Large areas of seaweed and seaweed are swaying in the water, and some fish are swimming around the water plants. There are also small coral reefs growing not far away, with small green dragons and coral reef fish interspersed among them.
This seabed is not as colorful as imagined, and there are no swarms of fish surrounding it, but it looks thriving.
He searched around carefully and saw a sea cucumber hidden in the dense seaweed ahead. He moved his steps, pushed aside the low seaweed, grabbed the motionless sea cucumber, and cursed secretly in his mind.
"The thieves hid it very well and almost passed it. Fortunately, I have a sharp eye."
Putting the sea cucumber in his hand into the net bag, he suddenly saw another one hidden under the sand at his feet, and several of the thick short spines on its back were exposed in front of his eyes.
I tried to push it with my hands, but he actually pulled another one out.
He slandered again, "Fortunately, I have good eyesight, so I can pick it out."
Wearing flippers under his feet made it difficult for him to kick the sand with his feet, so he simply skipped the bottom and caught the little green dragon hiding in the seaweed first.
Don't ask him how he knew it was in the seaweed. The reason was that the two long tentacles in front were exposed outside the green seaweed. He could be sure that they were the tentacles of the lobster just by thinking about it with his buttocks.
Watching the slender branches and leaves swaying with the sea water, suddenly his mind was out of control and began to sing strangely.
Seaweed, seaweed, swaying with the waves...
Seaweed, seaweed, dancing in the waves...
He immediately trembled.
This song is too magical.
He shook his head to expel the magical music from his mind, and stepped forward to pluck the lush water plants. The little green dragon was frightened by his actions and was about to run away. With quick eyes and quick hands, he tried to grab the tentacles.
But as soon as his hand touched the tentacles, the seaweed stirred, and the water around the middle of the seaweed immediately became turbid as if dust had been raised.
With a thud, it actually hit his thigh, and instantly slipped under his crotch.
He turned around and chased after it, only to see it fleeing into the seaweed again. Fearing that it would escape again, he approached cautiously. When it was about to flee again, he quickly pressed down with his five fingers and finally caught its body.
"If you want to run away after being found by me, there's no way..."
All this comes from his psychological activities. Who is not an old boy anymore?
This one is quite big, it looks like it weighs seven or eight taels.
Ignoring its struggle, he put it into the mesh bag on his waist again.
