The size of this giant clam is not small. It is estimated that its weight should be about 300 kilograms. It also has a certain degree of adhesion to the reef.{3w.
But for an 80-horsepower engine, this amount is really nothing.
As the cable was stretched straight, the big guy was pulled away from the rocks, soil, water plants, and all kinds of messy things fell off one after another, and the body was suspended in the water and headed north.
The speedboat stopped after traveling 200 meters. After the speedboat caught up, someone quickly asked the staff to pull up the rope.
Since there is a special cable winch on the boat, the prey was quickly brought onto the back deck, and the next work was relatively tedious. The divers kept going into the water, and the staff above kept using the winch to pull things up.
At first, when you encounter live clams, you still need to pull them up one by one. Later, when some dead clams and the shells left behind can be dragged with fishing nets.
As the divers were pulled up, Qin Mingyue, who had been helping from the front, shouted: "Wow, there are so many."
Seeing the speedboats being piled up into a hill, Han Peacock could not help but smile from ear to ear. This time, all they brought up were big shells, and the small living clams were left underneath. No matter how big or small the dead ones were, they were all
Caught it up with a fishing net.
"This is the first time I have seen such a big clam." Many staff members were stroking these big shells with their hands and were amazed.
"This thing is a clam? Isn't it rare? I didn't expect so many to be found in this area."
"Yes! I heard that this thing is a living gem."
"This is our boss's mantra. Tridacna and tortoiseshell are living gems."
"Haha. The boss's wealth is really incredible."
"It's not just luck, now we all pay attention to science, so science and technology are the primary productive forces."
"Yes, our boss attaches too much importance to technology."
"So every time we go to sea, we work easily and gain more."
"When I came out, I was not willing to come. Only when I got on the ship did I realize that this job is just for fun!"
"It would be better to eat on land. Not to mention sea cucumbers and lobsters. It would cost dozens of yuan to eat a piece of fish."
“Haha, you can eat whatever seafood you want here.”
"Lao Zhang, I heard that during the holidays, we also give away a lot of rare seafood. Is it true?"
"Of course. Sea cucumbers, swimming crabs, and lobsters are all distributed. I heard that the top management also distributes bird's nests, abalone, etc., but I don't know if that's true."
"You don't know this. These are not only true, but they are not as bad as you say. Do you know? As long as you are a regular employee of the company, you will be given seafood of a certain value every month. You can ask for money, or you can
The aquatic products wholesale point designated by the company is for seafood.”
"Every month?"
"How can I still lie to you? Don't you know that my daughter works in the Intelligence Department?"
"Ah? Your daughter is in the Intelligence Department? It's impossible, right? I heard it's very difficult to get into the Intelligence Department now."
"Hey, who told me that I am from Shanghai? My daughter is a college classmate of a senior director of the Intelligence Department."
"What classmate? When your daughter graduated from college, the senior managers of the Intelligence Department had not yet gone to college!"
"You can't do it with my classmates from the same school? As long as you know the basics, they will accept it."
"I really envy you. Your daughter has actually entered the Intelligence Department. This is the emperor's personal army. However, since your daughter is in the Intelligence Department, why do you, an old man, come on board to compete with us young people for jobs?"
"Don't you know this? It's for immigration! After I get on the ship, I can apply for immigration to Peacock Island after one year. There is gold everywhere there."
"I've also heard that it doesn't matter to us now whether gold is gold or not. We must know that Peacock Island has the best hospital, the top university, the most beautiful environment, and the most comfortable living facilities.
, such a place, even if it is not for myself, but for the elderly and children at home, I must live there."
Listening to the crew members talking loudly, Han Kongque laughed, while Qin Mingyue looked at him with admiration.
"Bring the crowbar over here and pry it open. The meat inside is really good." Han Peacock said.
Han Peacock is talking about a large clam. It may be too big, or it may be for other reasons. When it was salvaged, its shell was seriously damaged. In addition, it was too heavy, making it even more difficult to move.
So Han Peacock planned to deal with it on the spot.
Moreover, he now has no shortage of large clams, so he doesn't mind killing one to try.
"Hey, okay." The ship's cook agreed, and ran to get another long thick wooden stick that had been prepared in advance, and inserted it into the seam of the shell from the other end.
Other assistants followed the instructions and untied the rope, coiled it and put it on the cable pile. The chef, holding a short knife, reached into the seam of the clam's shell and cut off its adductor muscle very skillfully.
Then he asked two men to pry up the wooden sticks, and the two large wavy clam shells were opened, revealing the white shell walls and light yellow clam meat inside. The Korean peacock who was very close at this time also smelled
A fishy smell of the sea.
The meat of the clam is said to be delicious, and its closed muscle slices are called "oyster tendons" after being dried. They are valuable seafood and are a hot commodity in the international market.
But this big guy is probably only a few kilograms of clam meat.
After the shell was opened, Han Peacock squatted down, took the short knife from the chef's hand, reached out and rummaged through the clam meat a few times, but found no beads.
It is said that some clams also produce pearls in their bodies, and they are huge. However, nothing was found in this one, which made Han Peacock a little disappointed.
So Han Kongque stood up, handed the short knife to the chef, and asked him to cut the mussel meat into pieces, put them in bags, and make them as clean as possible.
Since the Shenlong had already passed them far away, Han Kongque didn't want to chase the Shenlong now. In this way, they could only make a pot of clam soup at noon to stay at the bottom.
The broth of clam clams does taste good, but after eating it, Han Peacock didn't feel that it was much better than other shellfish, especially compared with the pearl oyster in his Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, it didn't have any advantages.
, it seems that some things are just for fame.
The meat of a large clam was used in this pot of soup, giving all the crew a fresh meal. As for the clam shells, after being washed with sea water and removing surface dirt, they were wrapped and tied on the rear deck of the speedboat for preparation.
take away.
In the evening, Han Peacock specially slaughtered another clam for his family, allowing Liu Xu and others to have a taste of it.
After dinner and a bath, Han Kongque sat on the sofa and waited for the catkins to coax Han Huang to sleep before sleeping with her.
"What are you looking at?" While feeding the child, she watched Han Peacock peeking at her with a sly look. Finally, she couldn't help but the catkins began to distract Han Peacock.
Han Peacock glanced at the exposed white skin, shifted his gaze and said, "Some market information about Yangcheng."
"From Yangcheng?" Liuxu looked at Han Peacock strangely. He had already left Yangcheng. Looking at the market information of Yangcheng at this time, it seemed that he was putting the cart before the horse.
Han Peacock explained: "In the furniture market of Yangcheng, the prices of furniture labeled as huanghuali are all astonishingly high. A one-to-one replica of the 'Hundred Birds and Treasures Pavilion' used by the Empress Dowager Cixi is made of yellow huanghuali."
Huali Duobao Pavilion, worth 3 million yuan.
A 3-meter long huanghuali table has an asking price of 6 million yuan; a 90 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 120 cm high carved small-leaf rosewood table top has an asking price of 5 million yuan; an antique huanghuali from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The bed is priced at more than 10 million yuan."
"So expensive? But why do you know these things?" Liu Xu asked.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "When I left, it was also the time when our mahogany furniture started to be exported to Yangcheng."
"Are you planning to steal money?" Liu Xu said with a smile.
Han Kongque said: "I'm not happy yet! Do you know how easy it is for me to get some mahogany? I originally planned to keep those things for Han Huang as a dowry, but now I am extremely short of money, so I can only feel sorry for Han Huang.
However, Han Huang is still young after all. When she gets older, maybe I can find better logs for her. By then, her dowry will all be made of thousand-year-old rosewood, ten-thousand-year-old huanghuali, and one-hundred-thousand-year-old golden nanmu.
.”
"Just blow it!" Liu Xu gave Han Peacock a white look and said.
Gently putting Han Huang down, Liu Xu walked over to Han Peacock. Although Han Peacock was talking a lot about things, he was reading the documents seriously this time which was rare, which made Liu Xu curious.
Walking to Han Peacock, Liu Xu discovered that what Han Peacock was looking at was not the market information of furniture at all, but the data of a ship.
"What is this? It can't be a battleship, right? You should take it easy. It's not a good thing to overly stimulate countries around the world." Liu Xu said a little worried.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Am I that stupid? We can't have battleships, but no one can say anything about fishing boats, right?"
"Is this a fishing boat? Is there such a big fishing boat?" Liuxu asked doubtfully.
Han Kongque said: "It is the largest stern trawl processing refrigerated fishing vessel in China. Its main technical parameters and the advanced level of equipment on board are the best in the country and are also first-class abroad.
The ship has a total length of 105m, a captain of 91.10m, a gross tonnage of 7671, a net tonnage of 2954, a draft of 6.65m, and a main engine power of 5920kw. It was built in 1998, has a total length of 145 meters, a molded width of 30 meters, a molded depth of 10.2 meters, and a maximum displacement of 15997 tons.
With a speed of 22 knots and an average daily processing and refrigeration of fish products of 760 tons, it is by far the third largest stern trawl processing and refrigerated fishing vessel in the world and the largest in China."
"So big?" Liuxu said in shock.
Han Peacock said cheerfully: "In order to ensure that this processing and refrigerated fishing boat can sail smoothly to the Southeast Pacific fisheries for production operations, the Shanghai border inspection department had to open a 'green channel' for us. This time the Shenlong will also
