747. Shrimp soldiers and crabs (1/5)

Sorry, if you have something to do on the weekend, I will ask for help. I will be late when I come back and will be updated at this time. ****

Just so happens, Li Du hates seeing someone using excuses such as "like to go straight" and "like to tell the truth" to cover up his rude language.

The ship owner's attitude and words made him angry and said coldly: "Don't talk too much, isn't it just to catch some lobsters and crabs in this sea? This is a very simple thing. If you don't accept it, let's make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

Li Du said: "I saw that there were shrimp cages and crab cages on your boat, right? Give us an hour, we went into the sea, and an hour later, we came back with lobsters and crabs."

The ship owner shook his head firmly: "No, I will never take risks with you."

Li Du said: "We will stay where you can see it. It's not a risk, right? You can see us on the sea."

Hearing him say this, the ship owner thought about it for a moment and showed a sudden enlightenment: "You want to deploy hanging cages in the sea to catch lobsters and crabs? Haha, this is a really good idea, but you definitely can't succeed."

Cage fishing for lobsters and crabs is a common method in this industry. It is to sail on the sea, put down the shrimp cages and crab cages, and wait for the lobsters and crabs to get in by themselves.

But this is not a simple job. First, it is necessary to test people's vision and experience. You have to find a place where lobsters and crabs live, and it is best to encounter shrimp or crab groups. Only in this way can they be attracted into the cage.

Secondly, you must give enough tempting bait and long enough time to attract lobsters and crabs into the cage, but you can't be too hasty, you have to wait slowly.

There is no problem with the solution proposed by Li Du. The problem is that the ship owner knew that he had just arrived at Jindao and did not believe that he knew about the distribution of fishing catches in this sea area.

Even if he had a rough understanding of the distribution of the catch, that hour was too short, and it would be impossible to get a harvest unless it was placed in front of lobsters and crabs.

Li Du shrugged and said, "Let's just do it and leave the harvest to God. Why, don't you dare to bet with me?"

The ship owner was angry at his words and said, "Yes, we can bet, you tell me, what is the bet?"

Li Du said: "You won, I will double the cost of our overseas trip this time. If you lose, the overseas trip will remain unchanged, but you have to apologize to me, the guy."

He patted Brother Wolf on the shoulder and added: "Apologize to him, prove that you underestimate his ability and you shouldn't question him."

The ship owner did not hesitate and agreed happily: "Okay, come here!"

He lost is just an apology. If he wins, he will make a lot of money.

Besides, he doesn't believe he will lose!

Both parties made a statement, and the owner dragged out the shrimp and crab cages in the cabin to Li Du, and told him: "Be careful when using them, I'm new."

They are many people, and the rental is a large yacht and a business fishing boat. It is more than ten meters long and has a lifeboat.

Li Du put down the lifeboat, then took the cage into the sea with Brother Wolf and Hans.

The lifeboat was rowing out, and Brother Wolf said, "Boss, the bet is unfair."

Li Du said: "It's fair. He will definitely lose, and then apologize to you. I can't let my subordinates be questioned in front of my children, let alone contempt?"

Brother Wolf opened his mouth and wanted to say something. When the words were about to come, he nodded and changed his mouth: "I understand, boss."

Li Du released small flying insects and found the reef waters where the owner of the Good Lucky Harvest fished for seafood last time. This water was covered with reefs on the seabed, and colorful corals were everywhere.

In addition to corals, there are also a large number of seaweeds and algae growing here. They form a chain at the bottom of the food chain, attracting a large number of plankton and aquatic insects to survive.

Plankton and aquatic insects are food for many fish, shrimps and crabs. Li Du clearly remembers that there are lobster groups and crab groups here.

The little flying insect was unobstructed in the water. Soon, based on Li Du's memory, it found the vast undersea reef scattered.

The reefs are undulating and lined up one after another. In some places are coral reefs. Countless coral polyps are shaking with the rippling water waves, showing a brilliant color of life.

More places are ordinary reefs, with colors such as gray-black, reddish-brown, gray-white, etc. A large number of seaweeds live in them, and various fish are constantly passing through them.

There are many pores and holes on the reef, so lobsters live here.

The lobsters here vary in size, from the length of thumb to the length of children's arms.

Their carapaces are hard, their main body is blue-brown, with red spots, and their pincers and claws are yellow. They grow patches and look majestic.

This is the famous Australian Rock Lobster, the world's top lobster.

Australian rock lobsters like to lie down at night. They hide in the cave during the day, revealing only two pairs of tentacles and heads to sense the movements outside the cave and go out to find food at night.

Li Du has known this Australian specialty before and knows that they mainly eat small fish, crabs, shellfish, sea urchins, barnacles, algae and other things.

In addition to the Australian Rock Lobster, another target they are going to catch this time, the Emperor crab is also living in the reef.

Like Australian rock lobsters, Emperor crabs are all very famous marine specialties in Australia. They are rich in the Bass Strait and the Tasman Sea. They are known as the emperor of crabs and are extremely delicious.

Unlike the Australian rock lobster, which is cautious, Emperor crabs are very domineering. They are particularly able to grow and can grow to a basin size, reaching thirty or forty kilograms, which is very amazing.

In this way, with their large claws and indestructible shells, there are not many creatures in the ocean that can threaten them, especially the emperor crabs are also good at living in groups.

At this time, there was a group of emperor crabs squirming on the reef. The area they lived in was located at the lower layer of the reef, which was deeper across the sea, and it was more than 60 meters, so it was not easy to catch.

However, if they are prepared with enough tempting bait, it is a different matter.

Quickly finding the living area of ​​their community, Li Du signaled that Brother Wolf and Hans began to put down the cage. Before putting it down, they stuffed raw chicken and some shelled shellfish into it.

These baits are full of fishy smell and are one of the favorite delicacies of shrimp and crabs.

Li Du determined the position of the cage falling through the flying insects to ensure that they finally landed in the middle of the lobster and crab group. He believed that the right position and the right food were added, so it was not difficult to ask you to get into the trap.

The shrimp cage is different from the crab cage. The shrimp cage is rectangular in shape, with openings in front, back, left and right, while the crab cage is flat and round, with only one side of it opening.

Australian rock lobsters eat slowly and greedy. They will occupy food for a long time after entering the cage, so that even if there are multiple openings in the cage, they will not leave.

Emperor crabs are different. They want to leave after they get food, but they are pawns who go through the river and go up and down, so the crab cage has only one opening on one side. When they go in from this side, they will not withdraw again.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is insufficient, Li Du put down the cage and took the two back to the yacht.
