My Deep-sea Fishery

"Then Boss Song must be a person who loves animals very much. Otherwise, according to the habits of dugongs, he would not settle down in a place where humans haunt." Xiang Yang laughed.

This can be seen from the legend of dugongs leaving behind mermaids. They like to sing on rocks in uninhabited sea areas, and they will run away as soon as humans appear.

If that group of dugongs hadn't become acquainted with Boss Song, they would never have haunted Boss Song's house.

"Mr. Song really likes those dugongs very much, and even arranges for people to deliver fresh vegetables to that beach every day." Xiao Zhao said.

Xiang Yang glanced at Zhao Ye, and after a little thought, he was sure that Zhao Ye was telling the truth, because the group of dugongs already had offspring to feed, if it wasn't for the abundant food, they wouldn't have lived there. Some offspring continue to raise new offspring before they reach maturity.

"Look at the clam shells." Xiang Yang untied his net bag, "Just now I went to see dugongs, so I only caught two clam shells, how about you? How many did you get?"

"I only got two of them, too."

"I got four."

This time I went down to catch clamshells, because the crew members who were able to go down to that depth were basically very experienced veteran crew members, so everyone gained more or less something.

Among them, Zhou Wang was the one who gained the least. He was trapped by the two humpback whales, so he only got two clam shells. I swore to never feed those two humpback whales again.

The one who harvested the most was Master Xu. He went down and directly caught eight clam shells. According to him, it was mainly because he found a mud pit and found five clam shells directly in that mud pit. Not so much.

Xiang Yang traded all these clamshells to Song Chaoshu, and then said: "Everyone who goes down to catch clamshells will be rewarded with 500 this time, and Master Xu will be rewarded with 1,000. After that, he will go down to catch clamshells, and every time he goes up to catch clamshells The reward for the most is 500, and the second and third rewards are 200."

As soon as Xiang Yang said this, Master Xu's eyes lit up immediately. He knew that as long as Xiang Yang made money, he would not treat his subordinates badly, but he was a little surprised to be rewarded with a thousand dollars for a trip down.

As for those crew members who could not go down because of their physique, they were all heartbroken. Some even gritted their teeth and made up their minds to go down after a while, but they were immediately scolded by Chen Qingsheng. , The most feared thing in diving operations is that someone will show off their skills. As long as someone shows off their skills, problems will definitely occur.

Xiang Yang didn't forget these crew members who couldn't dive down the sea slope because of their physical fitness. He asked the crew members to work hard in the future to train their muscles like He Mingde and the others, while telling them that this There are a lot of crabs and lobsters in the bottom of the sea, so they go to the sea slope to catch lobsters and crabs, and each person will get a bonus of 200 yuan. In addition, the three who catch the largest number of crabs and lobsters will each be rewarded with 500 yuan piece.

As soon as Xiang Yang said this, he immediately envied those crew members who stayed on the deck and could not go into the water after their bye. He secretly decided that he must be careful when diving by himself next time, as long as they performed better than others in diving operations. The better the crew, the less likely they will be byes.

"Boss Song, do you want me to deliver these clam shells to your speedboat for you, or do you drive them on the spot?" Xiang Yang asked.

Song Chaoshu glanced at Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang immediately smiled harmlessly. There are actually two reasons why he asked such a question.

The first one is naturally that Xiang Yang wants to satisfy his curiosity to see if Boss Song is making a profit or losing money by buying these shells at a huge price, and if he makes a profit, what kind of pearls will he open out? .

The other is that Xiang Yang remembered that when they were doing the pearl business this time, the mussel meat was thrown away after the pearls were opened. These mussel shells are so big and the mussel meat is so full, it makes people want to slander, throw them away. What a pity.

"Just open it here, it's so troublesome to move up and down." Song Chaoshu said with a smile: "Lend me a screwdriver, just open it here."

Xiang Yang immediately asked Fang Youqun to hand over the screwdriver and fruit knife to Song Chaoshu.

Song Chaoshu held a screwdriver in his left hand and a clamshell in his right hand. The screwdriver gestured on the clamshell for a long time, but he couldn't do it.

Xiang Yang waited patiently.

Fang Youqun was straightforward, and he said directly: "Boss Song, it's not the first time you open a clam shell, right?"

Song Chaoshu was slightly embarrassed, "It is true that I have never opened a clam shell by myself before."

Xiang Yang was speechless immediately, you still gestured for a long time before opening clam shells, those who didn't know thought you were using some professional technique if you didn't do it for a long time.

However, it is not so strange that Song Chaoshu himself has never opened a clam shell.

Xiang Yang had a relative who opened a fried chicken shop in the county and fried chicken drumsticks every day. One year, when Xiang Yang went to his grandma’s house to pay New Year’s greetings, it happened that the relative was also paying New Year’s greetings to Xiang Yang’s grandma. As a result, the man held a kitchen knife for a long time and dared not cut the chicken's neck.

"President Song, let me do it." Zhao Ye knelt down and volunteered.

"Okay, you come." Song Chaoshu hastily handed the screwdriver to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye took the screwdriver and skillfully pried open the clam shell. He groped the clam meat for a while, then cut the clam meat with a knife and pulled out more than ten pearls the size of peanut kernels.

It is a pity that these pearls are mainly variegated in color, and the pure color is also milky white pearls, and the shape is as irregular as teeth, which is very ugly.

Song Chaoshu didn't care. After taking the pearls, he directly nodded to let Zhao Ye continue.

Only then did Zhao Ye open the second clam shell.

As a result, the next few clam shells actually had pearls in them, which surprised even Song Chaoshu. If you count the shells that Xiang Yang opened before, the rate of pearl production in this sea area is very high. It is almost as high as 80%, almost comparable to the pearling rate of mussel shells in pearl mussel farms.

Xiang Yang also noticed this, but he didn't say anything, because the other party hasn't opened any valuable pearls so far.

Pearls do not mean that the more they are, the more valuable they are. Those small, irregularly shaped milky white pearls or variegated pearls are not much more expensive than ordinary glass crafts. From this point of view, the other party spends a lot of money. Buying these pearl mussels is actually a loss.

Zhao Ye pried open another clam shell, took out a few pearls from it, and handed it to Song Chao Shu as a habit.

Suddenly he froze.

Xiang Yang's eyes also lit up.

Song Chaoshu squatted down in surprise.
