SWNOVELXO Chapter 138
Golden dragon, scientific name is large yellow croaker, also known as yellow croaker and cucumber fish.
Regarding its identity and value, there is no need to elaborate too much for the knowledgeable book friends.
According to a survey by an unreliable and unauthoritative organization, 1.8 large yellow croakers are caught or eaten by the protagonist of the novel every second in the world, and a large yellow croaker school is caught by the protagonist of the novel every three hours.
Chu Yang did not expect that this overwhelming wealth would fall on his head so inadvertently.
On the coastline with turbid white waves, five golden dragons with their bellies turned upside down lay flat in a "Hui" formation, pushed by the waves, and came to a place five meters in front of Chu Yang.
At this distance, let alone people, even a dog can easily catch them.
"But why is this fish lying flat? It's not dead." Chu Yang scratched his head.
"Sai Linmu, no matter whether he lives or dies, catch him first."
Sun Qingjun rushed to the side of the tricycle at a speed rarely seen in his life and took the landing net.
Fishermen always prepare this thing when they go to the seaside. In addition, sand shovels, rakes, hooks, gloves and other tools are all in the toolbox under the seat of the tricycle.
Excited heart, trembling hands.
When fishing, Sun Qingjun felt that his hands were not so trembling when he unbuttoned his wife's clothes on the night of his wedding.
Such a big golden dragon, one is worth several W!
His wife will not run away, a second earlier or later, but these golden little guys.
If she runs away, he will definitely be so angry that he will dive into the sea.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Five golden dragons were caught one by one in the net and quickly caught on the shore and put into the truck bed covered with tarpaulin.
These big yellow croakers are not much different in size, with a body length of 60-80 cm, and the weight must be more than 5 jin.
The largest one should be between 80-100 cm. Chu Yang weighed it when he held it just now. If it is not 10 jin, it must be 9.5 jin.
After quickly putting the fish away, the two took a plastic bucket and poured water into the truck bed until the water level covered the fish's back, then they stopped.
Sun Qingjun checked the physical condition of the yellow croakers one by one.
"No problem, they are all alive. They should have been knocked unconscious by the waves and pushed to the beach. They have turned over now."
After the inspection, he carefully folded up the extra tarpaulin and covered it on the water surface, and then turned on the small oxygen pump connected to the tricycle battery.
Chu Yang smiled and said, "You are so careful, Uncle Jun, are you afraid that someone will come to steal our fish?"
Sun Qingjun glanced at him and said, "That's not the case. Even if they are jealous, they only dare to say a few words behind our backs. It's not as chaotic as before."
After that, he asked again, "Don't you know why the yellow croakers have to be covered after being caught?"
Chu Yang shrugged, "Is there any other explanation?"
Sun Qingjun realized that the guy in front of him, who was so lucky, was still a complete rookie in terms of fishing experience.
How unfair it is, experienced fishermen like them often come up empty-handed after working so hard at sea.
But for a rookie like Chu Yang, the sea brings all kinds of rare fish to him, allowing him to catch them easily.
If he hadn't known Chu Yang's mother since childhood, he would have suspected that this guy was the illegitimate son of Mazu.
"Okay."
After secretly sighing at the good luck of a certain cheater, Sun Qingjun explained:
"The yellow croaker will change color. Only when the light is dim will the body color turn golden. Once exposed to light, the gold will slowly fade and turn into silver-white."
"The price of golden yellow croaker and silver-white yellow croaker is more than ten or twenty times different, so once the old fishermen at sea catch yellow croakers, they will do one thing, that is, cover them with quilts as soon as possible."
"After the yellow croaker dies, it will not change color when exposed to light, and it will remain golden."
"I see."
Chu Yang gave Sun Qingjun a thumbs up, and learned useful knowledge again.
This is the benefit of having an old fisherman around. A lot of knowledge cannot be learned by reading books.
For example, today, if Uncle Jun hadn't reminded him, he would have left these yellow croakers exposed to the light, and within a few minutes he would have harvested 5 large silver fish that had depreciated more than ten times.
"What a pity."
After dealing with these yellow croakers, Sun Qingjun sighed while looking at the sea.
"What's a pity?" Chu Yang asked.
"Of course it's a pity. Golden dragonfish usually come in groups. If 5 of them can be knocked unconscious by the waves, there may be hundreds or even thousands of them under the water."
"If you pull a net, tut tut tut..."
As he spoke, Sun Qingjun felt that his saliva was about to overflow from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't be too greedy, Uncle Jun. It's good to have 5, and they are so big. In recent years, have you heard of how many ships have caught schools of yellow croakers?"Chu Yang asked with a smile.
Of course he was in a good mood, because he knew very well that there were only five in total, and there was no more.
Sun Qingjun curled his lips, "How many more, not even one, it's considered very lucky to catch a few."
He laughed as he said this.
Yes, he was too greedy. He came to the beach with Chu Yang and did nothing, but he picked up five golden dragons for nothing.
If other people in the village knew about this, they would probably be so angry that they couldn't sleep for several nights.
"Then let's go back now?"
Chu Yang shook his head, "Wait a little longer, I'll see if there are any more."
He silently said "open", struck while the iron was hot, and opened the second treasure chest together.
[Silver treasure chest has been opened, reward: randomly refreshed ocean treasure (rare) *1, capture time limit: 10 minutes. ]
Chu Yang was stunned, and there was another treasure.
He remembered that the last time a treasure was dropped was the last time... ahem, just kidding, the last time a treasure was dropped was the giant clam.
So what will it be this time?
Chu Yang was already impatient.
Along with the explosion of the treasure chest phantom, a conspicuous white light appeared on the map.
"It's not on the sea!"
Tongzi was still very filial. He was afraid that his old father would get into trouble, so he refreshed the ocean treasure on the shore.
"Good boy, Dad loves you so much." Chu Yang said happily.
"Ayang, what did you say?"
"Oh, nothing, there seems to be something there, I'll go over and take a look."
Chu Yang responded with a sentence, and then walked straight to the place where the light ball appeared.
This is a small sand pit, with some garbage washed up by the sea scattered on it, such as plastic bottles, wood, foam boxes, and women's special Band-Aids that were swollen by soaking.
Among a pile of marine garbage, there was a light gray, volleyball-sized object that looked like a rock.
When he got closer, he smelled a strong fishy smell.
"Fuck, is this a marine treasure?"
Chu Yang pinched his nose and poked the stone with a branch. Unexpectedly, it was very light and the surface was slippery, a bit like a waxed foam brick.
"What is this thing?"
