Chapter 63: I went diving and got kidnapped by a giant sea turtle?
"What a pity, it's dead." When the group arrived at the fish raft and saw the fish, Yu Muzhou sighed.
Zhou Miao was also helpless in this regard.
He wanted to get them alive, but he knew they would definitely escape.
After all, if the knife hadn't been aimed at the brain, the fish would have already escaped.
Pang Hao was very satisfied to see that the blood from the fish had been rinsed away completely.
This way, there are many ways to cook fish: it can be eaten as sashimi, made into sushi, or sliced and used in sukiyaki.
By diversifying the methods, we can sell each part at the highest possible price.
The most important thing is the gimmick; just put the fish on the whole booth and that's the best thing to do.
He immediately instructed his employees to move the fish onto the boat and take them ashore to be weighed.
This saddle-shaped grouper, which is just over two meters long and weighs a whopping 327 kilograms, is a super-sized fish that is rarely seen in the new century.
Even farmed grouper are rarely this big, let alone wild ones.
Fortunately, Nanzhen, where Zhou Miao lives, is in the East China region. If it were in South China, this fish wouldn't be able to be caught.
"Brother, this fish has been cleaned of its blood very well. I'll give you a flat price of 60,000. What do you think?"
After weighing the items, it's time to discuss the price.
Zhou Miao hadn't expected Pang Hao to offer such a high price. Despite the large size of the giant grouper, the saddle-tailed grouper wasn't actually that expensive and couldn't compare to another type of giant grouper.
The larger the grouper, the tougher the meat becomes, and without a good chef, the fish won't taste good.
Zhou Miao's estimated value was around 50,000, so 60,000 was clearly an overpayment.
"Okay, then it'll be 60,000."
He knew why Pang Hao was asking for a premium, so he readily agreed.
With the marlin's 30,000 and the grouper's 60,000, his current financial pressure has been completely relieved.
He also gave Lu Xiaoxiao's two stones to Pang Hao, so that the little girl's hard work tonight wasn't in vain and she got eight hundred yuan.
Successfully selling the giant grouper was a major relief for Zhou Miao.
So the next day, he went out early in the morning to meet with the flooring installer, finalize his plan, and together they went to the flooring supplier to order the materials for building the fish raft frame.
As soon as the materials arrive, we will start work immediately.
So today, Zhou Miao still had time to go fishing with Yu Muzhou.
But after today, he will have to stay on the fish raft and watch the workers do their jobs.
Just like building a house, if you don't keep an eye on the workers, they're likely to slack off and procrastinate.
They hurriedly returned to the dock, where Yu Muzhou was already waiting, and Lu Xiaoxiao was also there.
Seeing him return, she quickly asked, "Brother, have you eaten breakfast? If not, I'll go buy you some."
"We've already eaten, let's set off now!" Zhou Miao smiled at her and then walked towards the boat.
I was too tired last night. I originally wanted to find out more about Lu Xiaoxiao's mental state, but I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.
I went fishing today. Yu Muzhou was there, but I don't know if I'll have a chance. Otherwise, I'll just have to wait until I get back to see.
An hour and a half later, the fishing boat reappeared at the shipwreck fishing spot.
The fish were biting much better this time than last time, and the three of them kept fishing, one rod after another.
Unfortunately, there were many barracudas in the morning, so although the fishing was enjoyable, they weren't very valuable.
Yu Muzhou, on the other hand, had a great time fishing because the fish had a strong pull, making the fishing experience very enjoyable.
Fortunately, the tide will start to rise after 1:30 pm today. They came to fish hoping to catch some valuable fish during this high tide.
For lunch, the three of them used whatever they could find and grilled sea wolf fish.
Sprinkle some cumin and chili powder on top, and even a mediocre sea wolf fish will taste delicious.
The fish oil sizzled as it was grilled, making it look very appetizing.
After lunch and a short rest, it was only noon.
Zhou Miao couldn't stay still, so she changed into her diving suit.
"It's the middle of the day, why don't you rest a little longer?" Yu Muzhou said lazily, lying on the sofa.
"I can't stay idle, let's go check out the lobster burrows. If there are a lot, we can catch another batch to sell."
"It's a pity I just signed up and haven't started learning yet, otherwise I would have gone underwater to see the scenery," Yu Muzhou said regretfully.
"It's just so-so. You have to go to the islands to the south to see the underwater scenery."
Zhou Miao carried both full oxygen cylinders on his back, put on his mask, and then entered the water from the stern of the boat.
Once you're in the water, the scenery remains the same.
He looked around and found that the school of barracudas that had bothered him that morning had disappeared.
However, the red snapper, which I hadn't caught many of, were swimming around in groups.
He also saw several particularly large snapper, which he estimated to weigh over ten pounds.
The sight of these resources tempted him so much that he wanted to go back to the boat and continue fishing.
But since we're already down here, we should still go check out the shipwreck first.
Zhou Miao swam directly towards that spot. Having been there once before, he quickly found the location and slowly approached the sunken ship.
Sure enough, quite a few more lobsters had hidden inside. The number was naturally far less than last time, but it looked like it weighed about thirty or forty pounds.
Zhou Miao didn't know if it was because there wasn't enough time or if there weren't many lobsters left, but he was determined to catch them all.
So he swam back, intending to use a landing net to catch them again, just like last time.
As he swam to the surface, a gigantic black shadow suddenly appeared in his sight, startling him so much that he froze on the spot.
My heart was pounding, and I felt an inexplicable aura rushing towards me.
As the dark figure slowly approached and revealed its true form, Zhou Miao's tense body relaxed a little; it turned out to be a giant sea turtle.
However, the sea turtle was so big, like a small car, that it still put him under a lot of pressure.
Zhou Miao stared intently at it, his mind racing with thoughts of whether sea turtles could hurt people, but he had never actually seen any news reports of sea turtles injuring people.
But why is this sea turtle swimming straight towards me, as if I were its target?
As it drew closer, Zhou Miao gritted his teeth and pulled out his diving dagger.
If they really want to attack you, they certainly won't let you off easily.
Five meters... four meters, the sea turtle adjusted its position and swam downwards from him.
Zhou Miao immediately breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he had been blocking its way.
But the next moment, when he turned his head to see the direction the turtle had gone, it suddenly turned around.
And in his astonishment and caught off guard, they carried him on their backs.
"Am I being forced to ride a tortoise?"
The sea turtle carried him as it swam towards the surface until he was completely submerged.
This made Zhou Miao realize that they had come to rescue him because he was in trouble.
But why are you still carrying me and swimming away from the fishing boat?
Zhou Miao was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to jump into the water to leave, a sudden thought popped into his mind.
The sea turtle rescued itself as someone in distress, but what about Lu Xingyu?
Thinking of this, Zhou Miao was deeply shaken, and a glimmer of hope rose within him, a hope that he himself thought had a very small probability of success.
He immediately shouted towards the fishing boat: "Xiaoxiao~ Xiaoxiao~"
Lu Xiaoxiao was standing on the deck at that moment, holding a landing net and waiting outside, just in case Zhou Miao needed it.
Instead of the person arriving, they heard his shouts.
Lu Xiaoxiao quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw him half-squatting on something, waving at her.
She didn't understand what was going on, but being clever, she immediately ran into the cabin and asked Yu Muzhou to sail over there.
