Chapter 217 Snake Tail
The taken out mullet roe should not be kept in a container for too long, nor should it be exposed directly to the sun, otherwise it will become smelly.
In this way, these mullet roe will be wasted.
Speaking of which, the way to make mullet roe is convenient for Mother Li to make cured fish.
Just flatten these washed mullet roes with two wooden boards.
Then place it on a larger piece of cotton cloth, let the excess moisture on the mullet roe be absorbed by the face, then hang it up directly with a rope, place it in a dark and ventilated place, and let it slowly dry.
.
The mullet roe prepared in this way has the best taste.
Li Xuan looked at the busy crew and felt a little regretful in his heart.
It seemed that thousands of kilograms of mullet were caught, but the amount of fish roe taken out was not very large. I am afraid that after drying, it would not even amount to fifty kilograms.
But the price of mullet is only twenty yuan per pound.
The price of mullet roe is thousands of dollars per pound. Li Xuan can still tell whether he is making money by taking mullet roe or selling the mullet directly.
Although the quantity has been reduced by twenty times, the unit price has increased by more than fifty times.
What's more, top-quality ingredients like mullet roe are something that a lot of people in the market are clamoring for.
After Li Xuan watched for a while, he felt relieved and completely handed over the matter of collecting mullet roe to Chen Bin.
Li Xuan always felt at ease when Chen Bin was doing things. What he was worried about before was just that he didn't know how to make mullet roe.
Li Xuan controlled the octopus clone and swam quickly about two kilometers from the bow of the ship, carefully searching the seabed two kilometers to the left and right.
To be honest, Li Xuan also saw a lot of rare seafood, and even saw a large black fish that could enter the deep-sea rare category.
This is the advantage of Li Xuan and other fishermen.
For any other fishermen, going out to sea to fish depends on the weather.
Although the fishery resources in the ocean are very rich, they are inexhaustible.
But the entire ocean is really too big.
Even the most experienced fishermen may come back empty-handed after a trip to sea.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many fishermen risking their lives to go to the Antarctic waters to drag back a boatload of krill.
But Li Xuan is different.
Li Xuan has an octopus clone that searches for fishery resources everywhere on the seabed, and can discover a large number of fishery resources that other fishermen cannot find.
This is also the most fundamental reason why Li Xuan dared to take out a loan to buy such a large fishing boat without much thought.
However, Li Xuan's luck was really bad during this trip to sea.
During the whole trip, the valuable seafood I encountered was the Eastern star spotted grouper I encountered when I first came out, the group of mullets dragged by the fishing net, and the tiger crab that was accidentally caught in the net.
And there was the black-haired fish I met along the way.
But whether it was the precious Eastern Star Spot or the even rarer black-haired fish, they were both lone fish. Li Xuan never thought about stopping the boat to catch a single fish.
of.
"It seems that the fishery resources in Yulong Bay are really exhausted. Next time I go to sea, I have to go to farther seas to see." Li Xuan thought to himself.
Along the way, Li Xuan had basically given up looking for those tiger crabs.
Li Xuan planned to order the ship to stop after a while when he found a piece of water that was not deep, and then search the bottom of the sea for a while, and then return directly to the dock.
But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly saw through the sight of the octopus clone that there seemed to be something weird on the seabed in front of him.
Those things were red and densely packed together. They looked very dazzling, like rolling magma.
Li Xuan quickly controlled the octopus clone and swam over.
After getting closer, Li Xuan suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The number of these red things is really terrifying. They cover every seabed in Li Xuan's sight, just like a hiker walking into the Daxingan Mountains and seeing wild flowers and weeds growing on the mountains.
There is absolutely no limit as far as the eye can see.
"It turned out to be snake tails. There are so many snake tails in the sea area of Yulong Bay." Li Xuan looked in disbelief.
Although this place is still relatively far from the shore and the coastline cannot be seen, it can still be regarded as within the waters of Yulong Bay. Li Xuan never thought that there would be so many snake tails growing in the waters of Yulong Bay.
Thinking about the past, the fishermen in Yulong Bay drove small ferries, fished in the sea from dawn to dusk, and went to work outside to make a living. Li Xuan really wanted to say something now, this is simply begging for food with a golden rice bowl.
Li Xuan hurriedly walked to the driver's cab and signaled to Qin Bin: "A Bin, don't worry, please adjust the boat a little. We will drive the boat this way."
Qin Bin was already very familiar with this sea area. He only raised his head and said, "Brother Xuan, if you drive this way, you will be heading towards Star City."
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "You don't have to go to Star City. What I mean is that I asked you to park the boat in front. Well, I just parked the boat on the sea three kilometers ahead."
Qin Bin nodded, thinking that Li Xuan was going to the sea to look for traces of tiger crabs.
Qin Bin felt a little funny in his heart. On the sea, because he caught a tiger crab, he went into the sea to find the habitat of the tiger crab. Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?
But Qin Bin showed nothing on his face. He strictly followed Li Xuan's instructions and drove the boat in that direction.
Soon, the crew arrived at the sea area and then slowly slowed down.
Chen Bin, who had not finished handling the mullet, immediately stood up and asked: "Brother Xuan, are you going to do some diving?"
Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "No, I will go to the bottom of the sea first and take a look. You continue to process the mullet roe on the boat. If any tiger crabs are found, I will inform you."
Chen Bin nodded with some disappointment. To be honest, he had not been to the bottom of the sea for a long time, and now he wanted to dive to the bottom of the sea.
Li Xuan put on his diving equipment, cleared the ship's outer ladder, and climbed directly to the bottom of the sea.
The distribution range of snaketails is incredibly wide, ranging from under the ice in the cold Antarctic waters to the tropical seabed near the equator, from mud beaches to rocky reefs.
The number of snake tails is also very terrifying.
Someone once used a fishing net to drag benthic animals in the Bohai Bay of my country, and hauled up more than 6,000 snaketails in one net. The sheer number of them is evident.
The snake tail is the branch with the most members among the echinoderms.
According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 2,000 species of snake tails discovered by humans in the world's oceans.
