The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded

(The reason for not updating yesterday was posted by the author)

After finishing the meal, Chu Mingcheng cleaned up and returned to the cab, driving the Poseidon to find suitable fishing spots.

Oriental perch is a deep-sea fish that generally lives in waters of about 100 meters and likes places with reefs.

Theoretically, this fish can grow up to one meter, but there is no specific data on how big it is.

There are very few studies on oriental perch in the biological world, and there are hardly many research reports, and I don't know what's going on.

However, Chu Mingcheng has been fishing for so long, and by looking at the photos of the oriental perch, he can guess the approximate weight based on the length of the fish.

Its actual size is similar to that of a sea bass, but it will be fatter. Therefore, for a fish of the same meter, an oriental sea bass will weigh about ten to twenty kilograms.

Only after more than ten minutes, he found a suitable fishing spot and stopped in a water area more than 120 meters deep.

Along the way, lines representing fish will appear on the fish finder from time to time, but so far, a large number of fish have been found at the bottom of the water at this position.

After noting the coordinates, Chu Mingcheng did not stop the boat immediately, but stuffed some chopped mackerel baits into the crab pots and shrimp pots near the fishing point, and put them down one by one.

If the bottom of the water is full of reefs, you might be able to catch some lobsters.

After the crab and shrimp cages were put away, Chu Mingcheng sailed to the area with the densest fish.

With a water depth of 100 meters, he did not use an electric winch tonight, but chose a spinning wheel and iron pole.

Hanging up the long line of slow iron plates, Chu Mingcheng threw the iron plates into the water.

Today he did not twitch the fishing rod vigorously and rhythmically as before.

He keeps the iron pole horizontal at a relatively slow pace, and will take in a circle or less of the line every time he lifts the pole.

It mainly uses the elasticity of the iron pole to bounce the iron plate, so that the iron plate has a natural fish luring action of a small jump.

When the iron plate is raised, it will attract nearby fish, and the time of the predator's attack is the state of the iron plate when it is stopped.

Today, I chose the long-line slow-speed iron plate and used the slow-speed iron plate fishing method, mainly because the current here is relatively fast, which is relatively suitable for this kind of fishing.

After repeated pulling and stopping several times in this way, a fierce pulling force was suddenly transmitted from the fishing line to the fishing rod, causing the tip of the fishing rod to bend into a bow shape in an instant.

As soon as Chu Mingcheng raised his left hand, he finished stabbing the fish. With his right hand, he did not move slowly, and quickly turned the handle to retract the line.

But he was lucky and the first fish had a strong pull.

He had been fishing for tuna for a while and was used to heavy boat rods, so he really couldn't estimate the weight of this fish for a while.

I just feel that the pulling force is good, but the fishing rod in my hand seems to be a bit unbearable.

Of course, this is just his illusion. The thinner the fishing rod, the higher the sensitivity, and the ability to control such much smaller fish at any time.

Holding the fishing rod in his left hand, every time he pulls up, there will be a "swoosh" sound, and then he can use this opportunity to retract the line several times.

No matter how strong the pulling force of the fish was, it was impossible to compare with the tuna he had caught before, so he caught it quite easily.

It took only five minutes to reach a depth of 100 meters, and the fish was pulled to the surface.

A fish, brown in the light, emerged from the water, its eyes bulging and almost bulging.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the mouth of the fish, the internal organs did not spit out to the mouth, obviously the impact of the water pressure was not great, that is, its eyes were like this.

For some reason, he always felt that these eyes were staring at him, giving him an illusion of "wisdom".

Shaking his head, to get rid of this illusion, Chu Mingcheng caught the fish with a scooping net.

Although the whole body is brown, this one is indeed his main target this time, the oriental perch.

The body length of the first one reached the level of seventy or eighty centimeters, so he used the copying net cautiously.

The fish is very fat, and the overall look has a chubby feeling.

Chu Mingcheng untied the iron plate, and brought a scale and a ruler.

Putting the ruler under the body of the fish, he found that the fish was over 80 centimeters in length. Thinking of Jiang Luoluo asking him to take some videos, he hurried back and put the camera on his head.

Then he picked up the fish and weighed it, thirty-six catties and seven taels.

Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect the oriental perch to weigh thirty-six catties at this length.

The unit price of such a large oriental perch can definitely go up to one thousand, so doesn't that mean that this fish can sell for thirty-six thousand?

It was no worse than a two-hundred-pound bigeye tuna, but tuna was so difficult to catch that it would take him an hour to catch one.

And he caught this oriental perch in less than ten minutes, using iron bait.

Putting the fish into the refrigerated cabin, he hurriedly went to the warehouse to take out three foam boxes, and then shoveled some crushed ice that had been prepared earlier and put them in. He was going to do a big job tonight and fish at least three boxes.

When you are ready, throw the iron bait into the water and continue to catch the second one.

The fish gathering function is turned on to increase some efficiency.

This time, after waiting for two minutes, another fish was hooked.

But the pulling force was far inferior to the previous one, and the fish was pulled up in less than three minutes.

This fish has a brown upper body and a silvery white lower body, but it is actually an oriental perch.

The skin color of the oriental perch seems to change depending on the size. This fish is less than 40 centimeters, which is just over four catties.

Throwing the fish into the foam box, he soon caught a third one.

But the third one was not an oriental perch, but a deep-sea giant carp.

Although bigeye silver carp can be regarded as a high-quality fish, it is only the lowest grade of high-quality fish, and there is a huge gap with the highest-grade fish such as Oriental perch.

However, it weighs six catties and is worth six to seven hundred yuan.

The fish-suction effect within a radius of 15 meters has further increased the density of fish on the bottom of the boat. In addition, it is currently the peak season of fish activity, and Chuming City can catch a fish weighing less than 10 catties in almost five or six minutes.

An hour later, he caught another thirteen fish, all of which weighed about five or six catties, but even if the foam box was filled, it was only half full.

Because of his strength now, he buys larger foam boxes, reaching 120 liters.

Judging from the current efficiency, if he wants to catch three full boxes of fish, it may take him all night.

And among the thirteen fish, only three are oriental perch, and the rest are all other deep-sea fish.

The efficiency of the iron plate was a bit slow. Chu Mingcheng began to consider whether to replace it with two electric winches. Secondly, the efficiency of fishing and hunting was also very fast.

But after thinking about it, he decided to choose fishing and hunting.

After fishing for an hour, the material is now available, so there is no need to keep shooting.

So he took the camera off and put on a headlamp.

The others carried two fishing ropes, a carbon speargun, a small net bag and a spear.

Compared with the fishing hook, his diving hook is obviously stronger. Today, the fish gathers, and the efficiency of fishing and hunting is naturally higher.

And after returning home, he had to start preparing for the tuna fishing competition. When Jiang Luoluo was by his side, he would not be able to go fishing and hunting in the deep sea.

Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng swam vertically to the bottom of the water.

The speed was extremely fast, and it dived to the bottom in just over a minute.

He looked around with the headlight and found that there were quite a lot of fish at the bottom of the water. Long-tailed sea bream, red friend fish, deep-sea bigeye carp, deep-sea grouper, etc. all appeared in his sight.

It's just that there are surprisingly few oriental perch. As far as the eye can see, only three are found, and they are not very big, probably weighing only five or six catties.

No wonder he caught a dozen or so, but there were so few oriental perch.

The other deep-sea fish, Chu Mingcheng, are temporarily ignored, mainly because these deep-sea fish basically do not appear in shallow water except for a few groupers.

When it comes to fishing and hunting, the wound will easily make people suspicious.

Oriental perch does not have this problem. Although most of them stay at a depth of about 100 meters, it does not mean that they will not run into shallow water.

Secondly, the vast majority of people don’t know much about oriental perch. Just know that it is a high-level fish, and they don’t care about its living habits.

So Chu Mingcheng first got rid of the three oriental perch he found, hung them on the fishing line, and then collected all the grouper he saw before leaving here to continue looking for other oriental perch and grouper.

The bottom of the water here is full of large and small reefs, and he found a lot of oriental perch in the crevices of the reefs.

In just one hour, two fishing ropes were full of oriental bass and a small part of grouper.

The big one weighed more than a dozen catties, the small one weighed four or five catties, and he didn't touch the smaller one.

Bring the fish back to the boat, more than 20 fish, immediately fill the first foam box.

The fish in this box plus crushed ice weighed almost two hundred catties.

Chu Mingcheng closed the lid, and carried the box of fish into the refrigerated compartment.

Then he entered the water again, changed direction, and swam north.

The terrain here is relatively high, and the bottom of the water is still full of reefs, and occasionally some huge reefs will appear. Chu Mingcheng not only found some hidden oriental perch here, but also caught a few lobsters.

After hitting an oriental perch weighing about fifteen kilograms under a huge reef, Chu Mingcheng swung his legs and swam over the reef.

Suddenly, a splintered plank appeared in the light.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hands suspiciously and grabbed it, but the wooden board was much softer than beeswax, and the place where he grabbed it was directly crushed. From this, it can be seen that it has been corroded on the bottom of the sea for an unknown period of time.

He moved on, only to find more broken planks and even broken logs.

After swimming for more than 30 meters, the owner of these broken boards finally appeared before his eyes, an overturned huge wooden shipwreck.

Chu Mingcheng's heart suddenly thumped, it looked like an ancient shipwreck, if there was something in it, wouldn't he be mad?

Still need to consider where to buy a house?

Just ask for it all!

It's just that this location still belongs to the domestic waters. Theoretically speaking, this ancient sunken ship belongs to the state's property.

And if he reported it, he could get a small mouthful of soup according to the value of the items inside.

The value of this small sip of soup may be as low as 50,000, and the maximum is estimated to be around 1 million. It is unrealistic to be higher.

But no matter what, Chu Mingcheng had to go into the boat to observe it before talking about it.

However, half an hour later, he swam out of the boat depressed.

There is nothing in this boat, only some aquatic creatures, such as octopuses and lobsters.

I didn't see any treasure at all, not even a skeleton, as if it had been looted long ago.

Not only that, but the appearance of this ship is also a bit strange, much like the pirate ship in the movie.

The bow of the ship is very long, and it is a bit different from the ancient shipwreck in Huaxia. Chu Mingcheng suspects that this may be an ancient shipwreck from childhood, after all, it is very close.

But where is the specific ship, he has to go back and look it up online.

After wandering around here again, he didn't find the second sunken ship, so he had to go hunting first.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Mingcheng returned to the Poseidon with a large handful of fish, and spread the fish into the last empty foam tank.

The fish in the last two boxes are basically divided into half of oriental perch and grouper. Although the search range has been expanded, the number of oriental perch is still small.

After moving all the fish into the refrigerated cabin, he first checked his mobile phone in the toolbox, and found that there were two missed calls on it, both from Jiang Luoluo.

Seeing that the time above was already one o'clock in the morning, Chu Mingcheng was a little puzzled, it's not the right time for the watch to break!

If the watch is on, at least he won't be busy so late.

Jiang Luoluo made a call at ten o'clock and another one at eleven o'clock.

But now it was too late, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to send a message explaining the situation.

He didn't reply to the message for a long time, so he knew that Jiang Luoluo had fallen asleep.

So I went to take a shower and changed clothes, and then lay on the bed.

After he was busy and didn't feel sleepy for a while, Chu Mingcheng simply looked up some information about the ancient shipwreck he saw.

Through understanding, he found that the shipwreck was very likely to be an ancient shipwreck from the childhood.

"Could it be a tribute ship from the Tang Dynasty?"

Chu Mingcheng muttered in doubt, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

How can Xiaotian go to the Tang Dynasty? It is impossible to appear in this position. They can enter Huaxia directly from the west.

The distance is short and the risk is small.

When Chu Mingcheng saw that some islands in the east of the northern part of Baodao were the eastern line of the Maritime Silk Road, he had some guesses in his heart.

Those archipelagos are just transit points, and the goods need to be transported back on a small day, and there is indeed a great possibility of going by sea.

The location of the shipwreck is a bit wrong, but Chu Mingcheng is not a researcher of historical archaeology, so naturally he can't guess what the specific situation is.

But through this incident, he also knew the benefits of deep sea diving.

If luck breaks out and encounters a small sunken ship full of cargo, wouldn't he be out of luck?

The next day, Chu Mingcheng put away the crab pots and only harvested a few lobsters.

He had a hunch when he was diving and hunting last night. There were no crabs in the bottom of the water, but only occasionally encountered some lobsters.

Continue to change places for fishing and hunting during the day, but it is inconvenient not to have a diving watch.

However, there are not many oriental perch in this area, and after a long time, the vitality of giant crabs and langoustine has deteriorated significantly. Chu Mingcheng decided to go back and rest for a few days, so as to recharge his mind and wait for the fishing competition. start.

On the way back, he first contacted Chen Yang. There were still ten days before the fishing competition, and they planned to stay at sea for another five days.

So Chu Mingcheng went over to meet them on purpose and asked them to help take care of Xiaomi's family.

He himself planned to stop the ship at the port of Modu after selling the goods, and then fly back to Xiamen City.

After handing over the cat to Chen Yang and the others, Chu Mingcheng drove the boat directly to the pier in Wen City.

The customers have already made an appointment, this time compared with tuna, other seafood is the big head.

Among them, the oriental perch is only more than 300 catties, depending on the size, the price is also a little different, and a total of 167,000 were sold.

Chuming City has a lot of customers now, and most of the oriental perch weighs only four to five catties a piece, and in the end it is not enough, and the customers just ask for half of it.

Those who open catering can only divide up those that are more than ten catties.

The remaining deep-sea fish was more than 300 catties, which was much cheaper, and in the end it was only sold for a little over 50,000.

The langoustine had good vitality, and there were 87 catties left. Some of the original 100 catties were eaten by Chu Mingcheng, and some were not vigorous enough, so he took them to freeze.

He didn't sell the frozen ones either, and kept them for his own people to eat.

Eighty-seven catties of langoustine were sold for 25,000 catties, and the actual unit price was only two hundred and eighty-one catties.

Chu Mingcheng originally thought that the giant crabs would be taken away by the owners of the restaurant, but other individual customers showed great interest.

Originally, a total of fifty-five were caught, and I ate one by myself, but six were frozen for lack of vitality.

There are forty-eight healthy ones left, of which forty-two are over ten catties.

A total of 632 catties, with a unit price of 500 yuan per catty, sold for 316,000 yuan.

The main reason for being able to sell so much was that Chu Mingcheng caught all the big ones at the time, which increased the total weight.

The crab gathering place I found, if I catch it two or three times, it will probably not be so big. At that time, I can only catch some small ones, and the price will be much cheaper.

There are a total of 12 small and frozen ones left, and customers bought them all, and sold a total of 32,000.

Except for tuna, other seafood Chu Mingcheng earned more than 590,000 points, almost 600,000.

It was mainly because of the high unit prices of Giant Claw Crab and Oriental Sea Bass that Chu Mingcheng made so much money.

However, it is impossible for giant crabs to sell so well every time. If individual customers buy them today, they will only try to find something fresh.

After tasting it, there is a high probability that I will not buy it next time, unless it is a treat or something.

It is not sure whether this kind of crabs are sold in restaurants or not. If they are sold well, there will be a long-term sales channel in the future.

In the end, seven to eighty catties of yellowfin tuna, each of the seven restaurants ordered one, and Chu Mingcheng offered a price of forty-five yuan per catty.

Let them pick the fish by themselves, and they are lucky if they can pick fatter fish.

This kind of bulk sale is a fixed price, and it is impossible to specifically test the fat content and then calculate the value of the tuna like the one in Shanghai.

Seven yellowfin tuna, a total of 534 catties, sold for 24,000.

There were thirteen yellowfin tuna left in the refrigerated compartment (one was eaten), two bigeye tuna weighing more than 300 catties, and three bigeye tuna weighing more than 200 catties.

Leaving Wenshi Wharf, Chu Mingcheng hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't go home, and went directly to Shanghai.

There are still ten days left. At that time, he can stay home with Jiang Luoluo for two days, and then go to Hangzhou for two days.

It was only about ten minutes after Chu Mingcheng left the port of Wenshi, a fishing boat about 16 meters approached slowly and stopped at the pier.

Then, four men and a woman disembarked from the boat.

If Chu Mingcheng was still here, he would definitely recognize the woman among them as Yao Xin who once took him fishing.

Among the four men, there was also a man he was familiar with, He Zheng.

It was the middle-aged man who waived Chu Mingcheng's boat fee twice and took him to catch hairtail and big yellow croaker.

After three of the men left with their fishing tackle, Yao Xin came to He Zheng and whispered, "Brother Zheng, can these three do it?"

He Zheng sighed and shook his head: "It's almost embarrassing. The minimum weight of tuna required by the fishing competition is 100 catties. They can't handle it after a long time."

"However, they are much better than the previous group of people. If it doesn't work, just let them!"

"That's it, then I'll call a few more people tomorrow, let's continue watching!" Yao Xin also had a headache.

The preparation time for this tuna competition was too tight, and the two of them knew a lot of people in the fishing circle.

It's just that most of the capable ones form their own teams and want to fight, which makes it difficult for them to find three strong teammates.

Of course, the main reason is that they are demanding.

But it has to be treated like this. After all, there is already a woman among the teammates who can be in charge of logistics, so naturally the stronger the others, the better, and they are mainly responsible for fishing.

He Zheng was also searching for who else was suitable among the people he knew.

Suddenly, a handsome figure appeared in his mind, making his eyes light up.

"By the way, what about that little brother you knew before? I think that little brother is pretty good, with a good physique and good luck. He was a novice back then, and his performance was no worse than that of a veteran, and he caught more fish than others."

"You're talking about Acheng, right? He went to Xiamen City to develop, and I don't know what's going on with him now, maybe he doesn't fish anymore." After being reminded, Yao Xin also thought of Chu Mingcheng. After all, he was a rare handsome guy, so he was naturally impressed.

But she looked a bit embarrassed, the main reason was that the other party ran away to Xiamen City because she didn't have enough contact with her at the beginning, and then the two parties broke contact.

In fact, she also hesitated to ask two days ago, but after much consideration, she finally didn't ask, mainly because she was worried that the other party had forgotten her.

"Why don't you ask, anyway, we need to test first now, if the other party is willing to come over, we will take him out to sea to fish and see the situation. If it is suitable, invite him, if it is not suitable, forget it."

He Zheng asked Chu Mingcheng to come because he thought he was lucky. Going out to sea to catch tuna or sailfish, if you are lucky, sometimes it is more important than experience.

Hearing what he said, Yao Xin finally nodded, found out the phone number she hadn't called for a long time, and called it.

Chu Mingcheng in the cab was a little surprised when he saw the call, but the caller helped him a lot, so he answered it right away.

Seeing that the phone was connected, Yao Xin immediately asked, "Hi, is this Ah Cheng?"

"Well, it's me, Sister Xin, I haven't contacted you for a long time!"

"There is no news about a certain person who went to Xiamen City. Who is to blame?"

"Haha, my fault, I will return to Wenzhou in a few days, and I will treat you to a big meal then."

"Then it's settled. By the way, how are you doing in Xia City?"

Yao Xin didn't bring up the fishing issue right away, instead she was polite and asked about the other party's situation.

At the beginning, she knew that Chu Mingcheng was still doing fishing when he went to Xiamen City, but nearly a year had passed, and she was not sure if Yugong was still fishing.

If there is no fishing, then she will definitely not invite again this time.

Fortunately, she was very satisfied with the result, and found out that Chu Mingcheng was still fishing, so she invited him to go fishing together.

"Sister Xin, I will stay at home for two days when I come back this time, to accompany my parents, and then I will go to the home of my parents-in-law in Hangzhou. I really don't have time!"

Chu Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, but he still refused.

Although Yao Xin gave him some help at the beginning, but fishing delayed his schedule, he naturally would not agree.

"Ah Cheng, don't rush to refuse. This time, there is a tuna fishing competition held in Shanghai, with a maximum prize of 500,000 yuan. If we win, everyone will get 100,000 yuan. I need to be strong here. people, that’s why I want you to come and try.”

When Yao Xin heard that he refused, she had to tell him the reason first.

I didn't say it before, because if the trial fishing fails, it will not offend the other party, and it saves the explanation. Now that I have said it, and proposed to try fishing first, I will not offend you, but if you fail, you will not be able to take care of the other party's mood.

Chu Mingcheng was very stunned, he did not expect that the opponent would also participate in this competition.

This made him realize that the first tuna fishing competition in China might be much bigger than he imagined.

But he himself wants to participate, so he must refuse.

The reason was also explained to Yao Xin. After hanging up the phone, Chu Mingcheng checked it online.

Then it was discovered that many champions of the fishing competition had signed up this time.

For example, Master Deng, who had already stopped competing, and Master Liu even signed up this time.

But that's right, it was a water hole before, but this time, the challenge for sea fishing is tuna, as long as there is a strong fisherman, it is impossible to miss it.

In addition, there are many opportunities to show up in this fishing event, which can increase your popularity and help your career, so there is no reason not to participate.

Not only these masters, but even many Internet celebrities have signed up for the competition.

Among them is Master Deng's "disciple" Nie Yu.

The Tuna Trading Center also made a publicity announcement to let most anglers in the country know about this event.

Secondly, there is no way to write about some of the later conflicts, and all the content of this part must be deleted.

I sorted out the outline today, and now I can only write about some competitions. The male protagonist has always been relatively low-key, so I will write some competitions later, let's pretend for a while!

The reason for the dove this time is not to play on Valentine's Day. It was updated yesterday, but it was reviewed and blocked.

Originally, I wanted to write about the conflicts between fishermen in the East China Sea and Little Life. After all, domestic fishermen have suffered a lot these years. I wanted to write something about revenge, but the content violated the regulations and could not be written.

This completely messed up my plan. Not only some content before the fishing competition had to be deleted, but all the content updated yesterday also had to be deleted.
