After three consecutive attempts, Li Du did not manage to pick up the fish.
The owner swam out of the water. He first stepped on the yacht's suspension ladder, then tied the fishing net around his waist to it, hooked the net cage to it, and finally climbed up himself. Then he leaned over to pick up the net and the cage.
The net was full of things, and he almost fell when he reached out to grab it.
Seeing this, Godzilla went forward and easily pulled up the fishing net and the cage.
Seeing how easily he picked up the net and cage, the owner was impressed and gave him a thumbs up. "Great strength, buddy. You're really a Hercules."
He praised Godzilla and walked over to Li Du. Seeing that Li Du's fish cage was empty, he laughed and said, "Nothing? This is not normal. I think you must have forgotten to pick up the rod. Otherwise, you would have picked up two fish. "
Li Du did not care whether he had caught anything or not. He went out to sea at night purely to relax. Otherwise, with the little bug monitoring the hook, he could find the fish in time and catch them without a problem.
Robinson fished up some seafood from the water, such as lobsters, big crabs, and some big scallops. In addition, he also fished up two odd-shaped seafood.
These two things were brown and soft, like elephant trunks. However, because they had two shells on their roots, they looked a little strange, like a certain male organ.
Seeing this thing, Big Quinn and Godzilla looked at each other with an ambiguous smile on their faces.
Ah Meow smelled the seafood and ran over. Big Quinn hugged him and stuffed the odd-looking seafood under Ah Meow's crotch. Then he wiped it with a knife, took it out again, and shook it. "Hey, baby, look what I've cut off."
Ah Meow stared at the seafood, then quickly sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and carefully examined his crotch, meowing anxiously as he looked at it.
Li Du picked it up and said, "This is not yours. This is a geoduck."
Robinson laughed. "Yes, geoduck. I remember Asians like to eat it, right? I just met two at the bottom of the sea, so I dug them out. "
Li Du asked, "You just caught this seafood?"
Robinson nodded proudly. "Yes, it's very fresh. It's just out of the water. You can taste the freshest seafood in the Tasman Sea."
Li Du said, "Then we are really in luck. How much is this?"
Although Robinson behaved boldly, he remembered the warning he had been given when he came by boat, saying that there were many consumer traps on King Island and that he had to be careful.
Hearing his question, Robinson laughed. "I'll give you the market price. 100 dollars for each lobster and crab, 80 dollars for each geoduck, and 100 dollars for some seashells. What do you think?"
"And what about the cooking fee?"
"Cooking is free," Robinson waved his hand and said, "I cook these seafood for you for free, as a thank you for renting my boat and taking care of my business."
That was a fair price. Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, let's do it that way."
The lobsters Robinson caught were authentic Australian lobsters. They were as long as their forearms, but they did not have the big pincers that most lobsters had, so when they were released from the net, they could only raise their upper bodies to show off, but they had no effective means of attack.
He came across a group of lobsters underwater and caught five of them, two for steaming and three for baking matsutake lobsters.
Steaming lobsters was the simplest. They could be cooked in a steamer with soy sauce and mustard sauce. When the lobsters were out of the pot, they could be removed by hand and eaten.
Baking matsutake lobsters with cheese was much more complicated. It required ingredients such as matsutake, fresh mushrooms, cheese powder, olive oil, and black pepper.
The geoduck was also made in two ways. The siphon was peeled and sliced into sashimi, and the mussel was chopped up and boiled in hot water, then dipped in sauce.
Robinson was an excellent cook. He had lived at sea for many years and had been exposed to a lot of seafood. He knew how to preserve the delicious taste of seafood.
Under such circumstances, he managed to make a sumptuous supper after busying himself for a while.
Sitting on the bow deck, four people and three children gathered around a folding table, poured beer and tasted the seafood, enjoying the sea view, bathing in the moonlight, and tasting the delicious seafood.
Although Robinson was not a native of the area, he had a religious feeling for the sea.
Before eating, he poured a glass of wine into the sea and said, "Thank you for the gift of the sea god. We will certainly not waste this gift."
Li Du thought about it and poured a glass of beer into the water. The sea had given him a lot of gifts, and he would continue to receive gifts from the sea and continue to harvest black gold abalone, so he had to thank the sea.
He had a map of the black gold abalone communities around King Island, but he could not dive to harvest them because the black gold abalone in these places lived in deeper waters and often had undercurrents, which he could not deal with.
After a night at sea, Robinson set an alarm clock in the morning, and they got up together to watch the sunrise.
The moment the sun rose from the horizon, the impact was very strong. The sun shone on the sea, and the coolness of the moonlight disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a fiery golden color.
Breakfast was still seafood. The boss made a pot of seafood porridge with the leftover shrimp, crab, and scallops from the night before. He added seaweed from the bottom of the sea, which was delicious and healthy.
After staying at sea until the afternoon, the yacht returned, and Li Du began to plan how to harvest black gold abalone.
There were many people fishing for black gold abalone around King Island. They divided the coastal diving area and tried their luck below to find black gold abalone.
Li Du could not collect black gold abalone in the deep water area, so he found an area in the shallow water, where there were large abalone scattered, and he could get some good harvest.
He rented a small boat and put the abalone preservation box on it so that he did not have to return to shore again and again, saving energy and time.
Driving the boat into the sea, he was ready to jump when a rubber raft rowed over. A man who looked like a father and son sat on it and asked them, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Li Du guessed their identity when he saw them in diving suits and carrying an abalone preservation box on the raft. He said, "We have the same purpose: to find black gold abalone in the water."
Hearing this, the father and son frowned at the same time, and the young man said, "Do you have a black gold abalone harvesting permit? Show us your papers and let us check them. "
His words made Li Du laugh. "Ha, sorry, are you law enforcement officers of the fishing and hunting bureau? If not, I won't show you my black gold abalone harvesting permit. "
