Chapter 2
About an hour later, Jiang Chuan followed the big blue crab to a salt-fresh water junction area, and what caught his eye was a dense group of crabs rushing on the road.
Although these crabs were not as big as the blue crabs just now, each one looked about 60 to 70 grams.
In appearance, they did not look much different from blue crabs, but if you look closely, the shells of these crabs are all light yellow, and the color of the crab claw joints and leg abdomen area is even more golden.
The shells also look more round and full than ordinary blue crabs, and the body is relatively fatter.
"Gulp..."
Looking at the dense group of crabs, Jiang Chuan swallowed hard, "Oh my God! They are all butter crabs, and there are so many of them, I'm rich..."
Estimated, there are at least hundreds of them!
The price of butter crabs is far higher than that of blue crabs. This kind of wild butter crab is rare and belongs to a mutant crab. Only one butter crab can be produced from about one hundred crabs. Moreover, the survival period of butter crabs is very short, so it is not common even in many coastal areas, and the price is ridiculously high.
Of course, in addition to size and weight, the quality is also a very critical factor in determining the price of butter crabs.
According to their quality, butter crabs are roughly divided into four grades.
They are first-hand crabs, second-hand crabs, oil crabs and water crabs.
And the butter crabs in front of him are obviously the highest quality first-hand butter crabs, because under the sun, Jiang Chuan can clearly see that the joints and crab legs of these crabs are oily yellow.
This is the most outstanding performance of the first-hand butter crabs, so the first-hand crabs are also called full-oil crabs!
Like this top-grade first-hand butter crab of six or seven taels, the price of a single one may be sold for thousands of yuan, and even if you meet a customer who likes this, the price may double.
After a moment of shock, Jiang Chuan immediately rushed over to pick it up.
That's right, just pick them up...
Because there are so many of them!
In Jiangchuan's eyes, these butter crabs are just like red banknotes, even faster than picking up money.
Disturbed, the butter crabs began to flee in all directions.
Time passed unknowingly, and half an hour passed in a flash.
The surrounding butter crabs were no longer visible at this moment, leaving only dense crab claws on the beach.
Jiangchuan's harvest was also very rich, the snakeskin bag and bucket were full, and it was estimated that there were more than 100 pounds.
"Huh! I didn't expect that picking up money was so tiring..." After finishing, Jiangchuan wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead and smiled happily.
Just now, I wanted to catch as many butter crabs as possible, so I didn't tie them up at all, so there was still a lot of work to do next.
Just now, during the violent capture process, many crab claws fell off, but he didn't care, after all, today's harvest was too big.
At this time, Jiang Chuan noticed that the blue crab he had contracted did not leave, but held its head high and looked at Jiang Chuan as if asking for credit.
"Not bad, not bad, you did a good job this time, I won't eat you today!
Here, these crab claws and crab legs are your reward."
Jiang Chuan smiled and threw a few crab claws and crab legs to the blue crab, and then began to tie up the butter crab.
There were more than 170 butter crabs caught just now, and more than 30 of them were missing some legs and some crab claws, which were defective products.
After all, the relative price of any seafood is still quite affected...
"There are a total of 152 complete crabs. If each one is sold at 1,000 yuan, wow... 150,000...
So much money, even if I worked for two and a half years before, I couldn't save so much money!" This number directly shocked Jiang Chuan.
In just three or four hours, I actually made a crazy profit of 150,000.
Sure enough, none of the time travelers are bad.
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the gentle sea breeze is also mixed with a hint of coolness.
The big blue crab has never left Jiangchuan. After eating a few crab claws, it stared at Jiangchuan eagerly.
Jiangchuan gently tapped the crab shell of the big blue crab with his fingers, and was very obedient without any movement.
A pair of sesame eyes revealed clear stupidity.
At the same time, the virtual panel appeared in front of Jiangchuan again.
[Tip: You can feed the pet you contracted with gold liquid to increase the intimacy between you and the pet and the survival rate of the pet]
"Pets actually need to be fed with gold liquid?
Then give it a try!"
Although a little surprised, Jiangchuan was not stingy.
After all, this big blue crab has made a fortune with him today.
Even if he feeds it some gold liquid, Jiangchuan will not be reluctant.
And as long as thisThe big blue crab is fat and white, maybe it will lead me to find something good someday.
With a thought, a drop of golden liquid oozed out from the tip of Jiangchuan's right little finger.
The big blue crab couldn't wait to look up at the drop of golden liquid, jumping around excitedly, and its eight legs were a little too busy.
After a drop of gold was completely absorbed, Jiangchuan obviously felt that the size of the big blue crab had changed significantly.
It seemed to be a circle bigger than before, and I don't know if it was because the light was too dim that I couldn't see it clearly.
After absorbing all the golden liquid, the big blue crab ran to Jiangchuan's shoes and kept rubbing Jiangchuan's thighs with its claws, obviously showing goodwill...
"Okay, one drop a day at most! It's not that I'm stingy, the energy contained in this thing is too huge, I'm afraid you can't bear it if you drink too much." Jiangchuan laughed unhappily.
This little guy seems to have a little bit of humanity.
I don't know if the little thing understood or not, it happily circled around Jiangchuan.
Looking at the "sideways" big blue crab, Jiangchuan's Adam's apple moved, "Gulu... So cute! I want to steam you... Bah, I want to make you famous."
"Okay, stop showing off, I'll give you a name! From now on, you will be called Xiaoqing. You must hide yourself well and don't let others catch you and steam you. You are also my cash cow now.
By the way, if you encounter these good things in the future, keep them well for me. When these butter crabs are sold tomorrow, I will buy you half a piece of pork liver. Go!"
Xiaoqing stared at Jiangchuan with a pair of clear and silly sesame eyes. I don't know if it was because of the signing of the contract. At this moment, the little thing looked quite cute...
After happily circling around Jiangchuan for a few more times, Xiaoqing quickly disappeared on the beach.
The sunset fell in the west, and the dim sun was just parallel to the sea level, like a big hand holding a dazzling pearl.
Jiang Chuan carried the full snakeskin bag and the plastic bucket to the village's purchasing station.
There is a pier at the west end of the village, and next to it is a seafood purchasing station.
The villagers of Qinglong Village who go to the sea to catch seafood usually deal with the seafood directly at the village's purchasing station, after all, it is convenient.
On the way back, Jiang Chuan also saw two middle-aged women catching seafood on the beach, and they might have come out to digest their food after dinner.
After seeing Jiang Chuan, a woman said, "Xiao Chuan, are you here to catch seafood too? Have you eaten..."
"Well, not yet, Auntie Pang, you are here to catch seafood too!" Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded in response.
His words stunned the two women for a few seconds.
They looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Auntie Pang said hurriedly, "Oh, right, I just came to the beach to enjoy the breeze after dinner and see if I can pick up some conchs."
Another woman looked at the snakeskin bag on Jiangchuan's shoulder and asked curiously, "Xiaochuan, are all the conchs in your bag?"
"Well, I was lucky and found a piece of scallop. You guys go around first, I'll go back first..."
Scallop Shell
Jiangchuan responded with a smile, and then he carried the bucket and the snakeskin bag and disappeared in front of the two people.
It's not that he wanted to conceal it deliberately, but he was afraid that if the two women knew that there were butter crabs in his snakeskin bag, he would be followed by a master tomorrow when he went to the sea...
After Jiang Chuan completely disappeared in the night, Auntie Pang was surprised and said, "Is that really the boy from the Jiang family?"
"Yes! It's him."
"Why did he change his personality? He actually smiled at me just now, and his attitude was so kind."
"It's really a little different today. Usually when we take the initiative to greet him, he would just say "oh" and then turn around and leave.
It's been a long time since I heard him talk so much at once..."
"Speaking of which, the incident six years ago was a huge blow to Xiao Chuan. It's understandable that he became so taciturn."
"Yes! He's also a poor child..."
Six years ago, Jiang Chuan and his sister followed their parents to work at sea. They encountered extreme weather, and in the end only Jiang Chuan was rescued by other fishermen who went out to sea.
Since then, Jiang Chuan has changed from a lively and cheerful boy to a taciturn boy, and sometimes even feels a little dull.
In fact, most people in the village can understand Jiang Chuan, sympathize with him, and often help him.
Therefore, Jiang Chuan's performance today surprised them.
