Chapter 357 Edible Seafood

At this time, a bright light slowly floated up from the bottom of the sea, and Shirley just lay on the stern of the boat, watching from top to bottom, without the cover of a hat or veil, her long hair fell down.

"Puff~"

Lu Xiaolu emerged from the bottom of the water.

Under the moonlight, one person is on the boat and the other is underwater, face to face, just like a fairy tale.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiaolu is not a siren.

Taking off the oxygen mask, Lu Xiaolu took a long breath of fresh air, then smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you, it's been 15 minutes, I want you to come up early." Xue Li muttered, and was about to drag Lu Xiaolu up.

"Hey, wait, take this up first."

Lu Xiaolu untied the snakeskin bag from his waist and handed the rope to Xue Li.

It’s okay in the water, but it loses buoyancy when out of the water, and the pocket is still filled with seawater, so how heavy it is.

Xue Li grabbed the pocket and lifted it up vigorously, the sea water leaked down from the gap in the pocket, and Lu Xiaolu was just below, pouring his head directly, and pouring him to the bottom of the sea.

"Hahahahahahaha, what are you doing there?"

Shirley laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up, and almost dropped her pocket again.

Fortunately, the water was out, and the sea cucumber was not too heavy, so she dragged it up.

"Pfft~ bah!" Lu Xiaolu floated up and spat out two mouthfuls of salty seawater before being dragged up by Xueli.

Xueli was not in a hurry to look at the harvest in her pocket, she first took off the weight and oxygen tank from Lu Xiaolu's body, which was quite heavy on her back.

Those loads are the lead weights sewn into the tarpaulin. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a person to sink underwater, it would be inconvenient to walk, and even the body would not listen to them.

"Shirley, fill up the gas tank quickly, you have to go down later."

Lu Xiaolu said while drinking water, the biggest feeling after diving is thirst.

After drinking two glasses of water and eating an orange, the symptoms of thirst were relieved a lot.

"okay."

Xueli also knew that Lu Xiaolu couldn't stay out of the water, it was a matter of earning money.

It's just that someone needs to stay on board to deal with emergencies, otherwise she will have to buy a diving suit and go into the water.

If both of them go down, something happens, and even remedial measures cannot be taken, then it will be over.

After Lu Xiaolu drank the water, he ate two pieces of chocolate to supplement his calories.

Except for the warm current, the sea water in other places is deeper and colder.

In order to resist the cold, the body consumes more energy.

And diving looks easy, but in fact it consumes a lot of energy.

At the bottom of the sea, the body is not so commanding, and the ocean currents on the bottom of the sea are not small. If you want to go to a place, you have to waste your energy.

There are still scuba people here. In some places, people who fish at the bottom of the sea go into the water naked, wearing a diving goggle and a fish crossbow, and walking on the bottom of the sea use their hands to attract water.

I heard that some people can hold their breath for 15 minutes at a depth of more than ten meters, and they can also fish, which is really amazing.

Lu Xiaolu was not so talented, he would roll his eyes after holding back for two or three minutes.

After Xueli filled up the oxygen tank, she massaged Lu Xiaolu to relax his muscles, so that he would not cramp when he got into the water, and he would be finished.

So what if you can swim, as the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim, and a large part of them drown because of cramps in their bracelets.

I was so anxious to get down just now that I forgot to warm up, it really shouldn't be.

This time, Shirley took him to stretch his arms and legs on the deck to warm up his body, even though he had been in the water once and was very tired.

It's better to be tired than to lose your life.

After 15 minutes, Xue Li still wanted him to rest for a while, but Lu Xiaolu had already stood up.

"Hurry up and go down, otherwise those sea cucumbers won't know where they went. Was the plum blossom ginseng just exciting?"

"What do you mean by vigorous?"

Xueli was a little confused. Although she had been here for a long time and had been with Lu Xiaolu for so long, she still didn't quite understand some words. She knew the words separately, but when they were put together, they didn't know what they meant.

Lu Xiaolu thought about it for a while: "Excitement, it means powerful and refreshing."

"Oh, that's exciting, very exciting." Shirley nodded her head desperately.

The big plum-blossom ginseng just now also surprised her. Although there is even a record of more than one meter in the plum-blossom ginseng, it is not easy to find.

Especially because of its high value, fishermen in Southeast Asia and China have been fishing wildly a few years ago, and it is almost endangered. The one Lu Xiaolu caught is already very good.

There are also those sea cucumbers, each of which is bigger than Shirley's palm, and each of them weighs three or four.

Wild fresh sea cucumber is 80 yuan a catty, and this one is about 40 yuan.

Lu Xiaolu just caught four sea cucumbers, about two hundred young.

The big plum-blossom ginseng is even more powerful. It can be sold for 120 a catty without viscera or air-drying.

The one Lu Xiaolu caught was estimated to weigh ten catties, and it would cost 1200 yuan.

This is still undried, and the dried ones are more expensive.

When the sea cucumbers are caught, they will remove the internal organs, then air-dry them, and sell them as dried sea cucumbers to maximize their profits.

The yield of caught wild sea cucumbers like Lu Xiaolu's is too low to be used as dried sea cucumbers. The yield is too low. It takes [-] to [-] catties of fresh sea cucumbers to produce a catty of dried sea cucumbers. If it is not enough trouble, they will be sold fresh sea ​​cucumber.

The reason why it is made into dried sea cucumbers is only for the convenience of storage and transportation.

After the buyer buys the sea cucumber, he still needs to use oil or water to make the sea cucumber, and finally let it appear in its original form.

Originally, it is to eat this kind of soft and glutinous taste, so it can't be eaten as a crispy rice.

In other words, Lu Xiaolu earned at least one thousand and forty-five for that net bag just now.

It took 15 minutes to get into the water, and it cost 100 yuan, about [-] yuan per minute, it's not a joke.

The kimchi jar can only hold the small ones, and Shirley put the big plum blossom ginseng in the living water tank.

There are no lobsters or crabs in it, and those fish dare not bite this big guy.

If it was a small sea cucumber, it might be swallowed in one gulp.

Lu Xiaolu sank to the bottom of the sea again, followed the light and found the crayfish.

The sea cucumber that was still nearby had already crawled away, and Lu Xiaolu found it one meter away.

Small sample, crawling quite fast.

Lu Xiaolu came down this time with a scooping net, in order to save time, he didn't have to go to the front, and the sea cucumber fell into the net with a light scoop.

In order to catch small fish for the puffer fish in the fish tank, Shirley specially brought a copy net with relatively small mesh, which just came in handy this time.

After all, sea cucumbers are made of water, they are invertebrates, their buttocks can pass through the mesh, and they go outside as soon as they slip out.

This sea cucumber wanted to drill out, but the mesh was too small, and only a few streaks of meat were squeezed out.

Like a fat guy in fishnet stockings.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaolu didn't rush to put it in his pocket, and continued to search for the target.

It is of course good to be able to catch a little more.

In addition to sea cucumbers, he did not let go of conch, snails, and egg shells crawling on the sand, and picked them up easily.

These are the seafood he can eat, they are cheap and delicious, not only did Shirley not stop them, she even cooked them for him.
