Chapter 56     Orchid Crab Season Arrives

"The white pomfret is still the darling of the market. Of course, the mackerel that Mr. Gu caught before now has a large market. In addition to these two, orchid crabs are seafood in the season. About one pound of orchid crabs can be sold for about 150 yuan."

"The price is very high, which corresponds to its market with short supply, but the premise is to be alive."

Zhou Wu pondered for a moment and told Gu Hai everything he knew about. He looked forward to what surprise Gu Hai could bring him this time.

"Has anyone caught orchid crabs recently at Qiongzhou Pier?"

Gu Hai was not confused.

Even if Zhou Wu doesn't say it, Gu Hai knows that orchid crabs are very good, but if no fisherman has caught orchid crabs recently, the possibility of finding orchid crabs by himself is very low. If a fisherman has caught orchid crabs more or less, the possibility of finding orchid crabs by himself is very high.

"Mr. Gu!"

"Recently, fishermen have indeed gone to sea to catch orchid crabs, but few of them have caught orchid crabs in large quantities."

Zhou Wu also frowned slightly, knowing that Gu Hai wanted to understand whether the orchid crab season had begun based on the current market conditions.

When Gu Hai heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

This shows that at least orchid crabs still appear, but not a large number of orchid crabs is also bad news.

Gu Hai has always caught fishing by fishing. If this is the case, can't he catch a large number of orchid crabs at one time?

Gu Hai thought about leaving Tianshui Seafood's shop, thinking about where to catch a large number of orchid crabs, but the results of the thinking were not satisfactory.

"Gu Hai!"

"What's wrong? Why are you frowning?"

Meng Qingyuan looked at Gu Hai and greeted him, but received no response. When he saw Gu Hai looked sad, he couldn't help but ask.

Gu Hai smiled bitterly and told Meng Qing what he had found.

"Orchid crab? That's normal!"

"Orchid crabs are indeed valuable, but I have never seen a large number of orchid crabs appear in the past few years, let alone we are catching them around the coast, so the hope may be slim."

"Zhou Wu said that many fishing boats caught a small number of orchid crabs, which is already very good, which means that there are already a lot of orchid crabs in the sea area here."

Meng Qing heard about this situation and his expression became relaxed. This situation was much better than he had imagined.

Gu Hai was also stunned for a moment, then laughed. It was impossible for orchid crabs to appear near the sea. If he wanted to catch orchid crabs that were thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds like before, it would be a fool.

Gu Hai looked at the sea and began to think about how to catch orchid crabs. It is absolutely inefficient to spread the fishing nets like fishing. Although laying orchid crabs that can catch hundreds of kilograms for thousands of meters is a burning fragrance for ordinary people, it is still too few for Gu Hai.

"What method should be used to catch orchid crabs?"

Gu Hai muttered in a low voice.

Meng Qing waited by his side for a while, and saw that Gu Hai had no intention of paying attention to him. He talked to himself for a long time, but he couldn't hear what he was mumbling, so he shook his head helplessly and left.

He was going to go out to sea in the early morning, and there were still a lot of things to prepare. Yu Zhuang was still preparing. It was too inappropriate for him, an elder, to do nothing here.

The status of the fishing boat also needs to be checked. If the status of the fishing boat is not checked, it is not unpredictable to bring a boat to bury the seabed.

As the captain, Gu Hai handed over most of his work to Yu Zhuang and Meng Qing, and focused on studying what seafood to capture and how to capture it.

“What exactly should be done?”

"Efficiently catching orchid crabs... Do you need to prepare a crab net? As a traditional method of catching, it can indeed be captured, but the efficiency is too low."

Gu Hai grabbed his head.

"That's right! There's another good idea!"

Gu Hai's eyes lit up and suddenly thought of the good thing about the crab cage.

Put bait in the crab cage and dragon balls are there. The crab cage you put on yourself will definitely attract a large number of crabs.

Orchid crabs are difficult to catch in large quantities because orchid crabs themselves are very scattered, and the crab nets are also inefficient for catching crab nets. This is also because of this. If it is replaced with a crab cage, it will be very suitable.

"Ha ha!"

"I thought about it for a long time in vain before I thought of this good idea!"

Gu Hai smiled and thought that using a crab cage is definitely the most effective method for orchid crabs with scattered crabs.

"Da Zhuang!"

"I came just right. Please help Uncle Meng prepare for other preparations first. Please accompany me to buy something!"

When Gu Hai saw Yu Zhuang coming, he immediately asked him to buy crab cages and a lot of bait.

Yu Zhuang immediately trotted when he heard Gu Hai's voice, and immediately followed Gu Hai's footsteps without asking what he wanted to buy.

"It seems that Gu Hai has thought of some method? I don't know how to do it, but if you want to catch orchid crabs, it's the most suitable crab net."

Meng Qing also glanced at Yu Zhuang and Gu Hai who left. Thinking of Gu Hai's mention of orchid crabs before, he probably made preparations for catching orchid crabs. Based on Meng Qing's experience, it is definitely necessary to catch orchid crabs to be able to catch orchid crabs.

Meng Qing didn't think much about it. After all, Gu Hai was ready to capture some seafood and was preparing. He also had to adjust the condition of the fishing boat as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Gu Hai and Yu Zhuang started buying a large number of crab cages at Qiongzhou Pier.

"Strange, are there few people using crab cages at Qiongzhou Pier?"

When Gu Hai was preparing, he realized that the large amount of crab cages he needed could not be bought in one store.

There are only a dozen stores, up to twenty crab cages per store, and none of them can even buy fifty stores at one time. In the end, I spent a lot of effort to travel around the shops at Qiongzhou Wharf and bought two hundred crab cages.

"Brother Hai, what are we going to catch this time? We actually need so many crab cages?"

Yu Zhuang went from calmness at the beginning to surprise after Gu Hai bought a total of 200 crab cages, and asked curiously on the way back.

"Ha ha!"

"We are planning to go out to sea to catch orchid crabs today, so we need so many crab cages."

"Although you may not have heard of catching orchid crabs in crab cages, today our harvest can tell you that using crab cages is the most efficient way."

Gu Hai smiled, and even guessed that Yu Zhuang would think this method was too ridiculous when he heard that he wanted to use a crab cage to catch orchid crabs.

But he has a killer move in his hand. With the lure that has been dyed with dragon balls, he will definitely be able to catch a large number of orchid crabs!

Yu Zhuang was confused for a moment, but then nodded. After all, he believed whatever Gu Hai said to him unconditionally.

Gu Hai directly asked the people from the shop to deliver all the crab cages he needed to the dock, and then took Yu Zhuang to buy hundreds of kilograms of small fish as bait before returning to the dock.
