Chapter 69 Snow Crab
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't say I came here to fish, I came here to catch snow crabs."

"There are snow crabs here? Snow crabs are very expensive." Ma Hua blurted out what she was thinking.

"Nonsense, why didn't I call you here? Blowing the cold wind?" Ye Yuan gave Ma Hua a white look.

All the crew members cheered up when they heard that there were snow crabs here. You must know that Ye Yuan said that the amount of fish caught is directly linked to their bonuses. Anyway, they are all going to sea. Isn't it good for him to catch more valuable seafood?
After resting for two hours, without Ye Yuan's orders, Yu Hongbo began to organize the sailors to put away the crab cages.

Ye Yuan nodded secretly, deeply satisfied with this bosun.

One of the crab pots thrown down was quickly salvaged.

"Fuck, there are so many crabs here." Ma Hua exclaimed.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly: "There's a crab group below, it's a better place for us to put the crab pots."

Ma Hua questioned, "Boss, how did you know there would be crabs here?" Ma Hua had been holding back this question for a long time.

Yu Hongbo slapped Ma Hua directly on the back of the head behind him.
"How can there be so many whys? You have a hundred thousand whys?"

Then whispered in Ma Hua's ear:
"Ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't"

Yu Hongbo thought his voice was very low, but how could he escape Ye Yuan's perception, and now Ye Yuan's perception is still a few meters away on the sea.

Ye Yuan explained with a smile:
"It's nothing, this is what I learned from an expert, that is, through the direction of some ocean currents, the temperature of the sea water... you can know the fish caught underwater, you have to keep this stuff secret for me, otherwise we will be behind the fishing boat in the future I don't know how many boats to follow."

When Ye Yuan spoke nonsense, he didn't feel that he was blushing at all.

There will be a lot of these things when fishing in the future. It is important for me to find an excuse. Anyway, believe it or not, it is up to them, and I have explained it.

Seeing that everyone's hands had stopped, Yu Hongbo reminded loudly: "Hurry up and get all the crabs in. Do you still want to blow the sea breeze outside?"

Hearing Yu Hongbo's reminder, everyone quickened their movements.

Crab cages were salvaged from the sea one by one, and there were many snow crabs in each crab cage.

Ye Yuan walked to the side of the crab cage, picked out a few larger female crabs with seeds, turned around and left, leaving a word before leaving.

"The female crabs are all thrown into the sea, and the male crabs are frozen and preserved."

Just go back to your room.

It's not that Ye Yuan doesn't like female crabs, it's because the size of snow crab female crabs and male crabs is very different. Generally, male crabs are twice the size of female crabs, and there are crab roe in the body of female crabs, so throw them back , can better protect the ecological balance.

Ye Yuan returned to the room, and put all the female crabs he picked out into the space.

This is also one of the purposes of Ye Yuan's coming here. He plans to turn his space fishing ground into a miniature ocean, which needs many kinds of precious marine life.

Walking out of the room, the crew on the deck are busy. Every time the crab pots are salvaged, there will be a big harvest. The crabs here are huge. After cleaning the net crab pots, continue to hang bait in the crab pots, and return nautical mile.

Each crab cage has two entrances, and the gang shoes who are trapped in the crab cage can go out here, but such situations rarely happen.

This is because of the nature of crabs. Crabs are very greedy creatures. As long as the bait in the crab cage is not eaten, they will not leave. Secondly, crabs are aggressive. If there is a crab that wants to climb out at the exit , there will be many crabs to catch it and prevent it from escaping, or several crabs are crowded together, and no one can get out.

Ye Yuan called Gong Hongzhuang to let him go to the crab cage to pick some snow crabs for dinner.

Gong Hongzhuang hesitated and stayed where he was.

Ye Yuan glanced at him in surprise, "Don't tell me you can't make snow crabs?"

Gong Hongzhuang patted his chest and said, "How is that possible? Navy chefs don't know how to cook seafood. Boss, what do you think?"

"Then why don't you go?"

Gong Hongzhuang said embarrassingly: "Snow crabs are so expensive, it's a waste for us to eat them."

Ye Yuan glared at Gong Hongzhuang unhappily

"We're all brothers, eat whatever you catch, there's nothing to waste, everyone worked hard today, let's make a few more to improve the food, go, don't ink it"

Gong Hongzhuang listened to Ye Yuan's words, looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, and happily picked up snow crabs.

Salvage crab cages, clean crab cages, hang bait, and release crab cages.

The crew repeated the same work.

After a few hours, a lot of snow crabs have been caught, Ye Yuan stopped everyone's work, these are real people, not the previous robots, Ye Yuan doesn't want to get tired when he goes out to sea for the first time.

Everyone entered the cafeteria together, and Gong Hongzhuang was skillfully cooking snow crabs.

I saw Gong Hongzhuang cut some snow crabs into sections and put them into cold water.

Also steam some snow crabs in a steamer.

After about 5 minutes, Gong Hongzhuang took out the snow crabs in the cold water. After soaking in cold water, the meat of these snow crabs would turn into strands, like pine needles, which is why snow crabs are also called pine leaf crabs.

The crew was already hungry, and everyone flocked to taste these delicious snow crabs.
Everyone quickly finished eating all the snow crabs made by Gong Hongzhuang, Ye Yuan told everyone to have a good rest tonight.

As the boatswain, Yu Hongbo fed back the opinions of some crew members to Ye Yuan. Everyone went to sea to make money.

After finding such a group of snow crabs, the crew all thought that fishing should continue. Their opinion was that everyone took turns to rest at night, but the fishing should not stop.

Ye Yuan glanced at several crew members, then patted Yu Hongbo on the shoulder:

"I can understand everyone's mood. Fishing at night is very dangerous. After all, putting crab pots is inherently dangerous, and the danger is even greater at night."

"Don't think about it, everyone. There are many opportunities. Don't be in a hurry. Let's take a good rest. Maybe we will meet better seafood tomorrow."

"Since you are the crew of my ship, I have the responsibility to bring you back safely, don't make fun of your own life"

Ye Yuan did not agree to the proposal of the crew to work at night.

. . . . . .

There was nothing to say all night. When the sun rose above the sea level, the crew who had been tired all day yesterday gradually walked out of the cabin. After a night's rest, everyone was in good spirits, and no one felt sick.

After Ye Yuan got up, as soon as he walked to the deck, he saw the crew members discussing something by the fence facing the sea. Ye Yuan walked over and looked in the direction of everyone's discussion, spotted seals were floating on the sea.

Spotted seals are marine mammals that live on the coasts and coasts of temperate and cold temperate zones.

Living in the Northwest Pacific Ocean in the northern hemisphere, they are mainly distributed in the Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, Okhotsk Sea, Waguo Sea, Bohai Sea, and the northern part of the Yellow Sea in Huaguo.

They have migratory breeding habits, are carnivorous animals, and their food is mainly fish and cephalopods.

The spotted seal is the only pinniped that can breed in the waters of Huaguo. It belongs to Huaguo and is a first-class protected animal.
