Finished eels only cost a few hundred yuan per serving, but eel fry cost more than 100,000 yuan per pound, which seems a bit incredible.
But a pound of eel fry, the size of an embroidery needle, is estimated to be several thousand per pound. Calculating it this way, it is not expensive at all.
And because artificial breeding is not possible, all eels are fished overseas, resulting in fewer and fewer eel fry in the wild.
Things are rare and expensive, which makes the price of eel fry rise day by day, and the price will become more and more expensive in the future.
"Boss, let me tell you, these eel fry are breeding here. When these little eels grow up, they will definitely breed here. By then, just selling the eel fry will make a lot of money."
Uncle Hai said with shining eyes. He admires Li Fang more and more now because he knows that it was him who changed the seafood breeding base.
Fortunately, he thought Li Fang was a prodigal who came here specifically to waste money. Now he realizes how wrong he was.
"Let's talk about this later. The seafood breeding base will be left to you for the time being. I want to go out to sea with the captain and the others and come back before the end of the year."
Li Fang said that he was not too excited because these should be expected.
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely be optimistic about the seafood breeding base."
Uncle Hai and the others repeatedly assured that winter was originally the dormant period for seafood, and it was also a time for them to be lazy.
But now that there is no dormant period, they have to get busy. Fortunately, Li Fang offered to double the salary, so everyone naturally had no objections.
Li Fang first met Lan Caier Yang Yuxin, then came to the dock and boarded the fishing boat.
"Mr. Li, I am the captain of the security team this time. We will be responsible for the security of the fishing boat this time."
A tall and thin young man came and said that he looked like a well-trained person and was absolutely reliable.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Li Fang said politely, there were not many people in their team, only a dozen or twenty, but it was almost enough.
In addition, he had no intention of relying on them to protect the fishing boat. If he encountered any danger, it would be safer for him to do it himself.
Captain Xu and the others are already waiting for Li Fang. They have made all the necessary preparations and are waiting for him to come over to hold a ceremony to pay homage to the Sea Dragon King before officially setting out to sea.
Li Fang didn't know much about these rituals, so he came over and burned a stick of incense, then threw a glass of wine into the sea, and the ceremony was over.
"Weigh anchor and go to sea!"
Captain Xu gave the order, with a nervous look on his face and a lot of pressure in his heart.
Although Li Fang said it didn't matter and asked him not to feel pressure, it would be really embarrassing to return empty-handed with such a high salary.
He was controlling the direction in the cab, with all the routes in his mind. At this moment, he was looking for a downstream route, which would allow him to go faster.
The workers are all very free now. It's still early to go to the fishing place. They don't have anything to do in the past few days. They just want to enjoy the scenery here.
"Boss, you enter the high seas first. It will take about 10 days before we can enter the fishing location."
Captain Xu said that if you want to catch bluefin tuna, there is no fixed place.
Because bluefin tuna swim all their lives, they have to rely on swimming to obtain oxygen in the sea to survive. It can only be said that they live in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but this area is too big, and you can only rely on luck to catch them.
As for the wild small yellow croakers, it only depends on luck. He knows where they are found, but he doesn't know whether the small yellow croakers will cooperate.
As for the king crabs, there are fixed fishing spots. Once you get there, just throw down the iron cage and wait for the king crabs to take the bait.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. It's so spectacular."
After leaving the pier, I finally saw the broad horizon, blue sky, and blue water.
Lan Cai'er couldn't help but sigh that all he saw at the dock before was turbid water, which almost made him suspect that everything he knew before was all a lie.
"It is indeed spectacular, but this is still a shallow sea area. When you get to the deep sea, it is said that the depth is more than 10,000 meters, the waves are more than ten meters high, and there are strong winds of more than ten levels, it will be exciting."
Li Fang said, that kind of place is not only exciting, but also very dangerous.
But that's the danger on the sea. Once you reach the bottom of the sea, it's very quiet below and you can't feel any storms.
"It's best not to go to that kind of place. It's too dangerous. We all have great strength, but the other people on the ship are just ordinary people."
Yang Yuxin said, everyone has a father, a mother, a wife and children, so we cannot let anything happen to them.
"The weather is uncontrollable, but we can still guarantee their personal safety. If we encounter such a natural disaster, we will step forward."
Li Fang said, since it is a rare trip, it depends on how Captain Xu arranges the route.
The sailing speed is indeed very slow. If you are impatient, you may want to jump into the river and swim. You feel that swimming is faster than sailing.
The current speed is estimated to be only about 20 yards, and we are driving forward slowly.
They underwent several inspections along the way and only entered the high seas after making sure there were no problems.
"This speed is too slow. I will go to the stern of the ship to arrange a few formations and use the formations to enhance the thrust. The speed should be faster."
Li Fang secretly thought, not to mention too fast, at least he had to run 60 yards.
This speed is about the same, not too fast, but not too slow either. It should be easy to control and there will be no danger of capsizing.
The formation he wants to arrange is the formation in the weapon refining. The function of this formation is to increase the speed. Especially for the spiritual weapon Flying Sword, this formation is very important.
Flying with a sword is not just about being cool, it also requires absolute speed. It might be embarrassing if no one else is faster.
"I don't know if this ship can be imprinted with formations. If the materials are not up to par, I'm afraid that not only will the formations not be able to be deployed, but the ship will also be destroyed."
Li Fang had to worry, but this was not a big problem. He thought of a solution.
He took out various refining materials, refined the weapons on the spot, and refined them into boosters.
The spiritual energy in the world was a little thin, and each formation could not exert its due power, so he had to prepare a few more.
"Li Fang, what are you doing?"
Lan Cai'er came over and asked, seemingly enjoying the beautiful scenery enough.
Yang Yuxin also turned around. This was the first time he saw Li Fang refining weapons, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"The speed of this fishing boat is too slow. I will refine a few boosters to increase its speed. Otherwise, we may not be able to run very far in more than a month."
Li Fang replied that he was not refining the magic weapon now, he was just looking for a piece of material and then imprinting the formation on it, which was relatively simple and did not take much time.
"Booster?"
Both women were very surprised. They didn't think too much, otherwise if some scientists knew about it, they would be shocked.
If this can be applied to the scientific field, then there will be many places where it can be used.
"Okay, let's try the effect."
Li Fang said, he took out four iron plates, and finally went to the stern of the ship and installed several iron plates on them.
Then he activated these formations, and then they absorbed the thin spiritual energy in the world and slowly produced a thrust.
