Chapter 240 Red Shrimp and Prawns

There were too many, so Zhou Miao simply unloaded the popular shrimp onto the deck.

Countless red shrimp, seven or eight centimeters long, were hopping around on the deck, and you could also see many other species of large shrimp among them.

One of them was even as long as a hand, which surprised him. He hadn't expected that there were other species mixed in with the red shrimp.

But for Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao, it was a pleasant surprise.

"Haha, there are prawns! Xiaoxiao, quickly pick them out for me, I want to eat prawns tonight."

As the two women were picking through the shrimp, Zhang Shuman quickly came down from the second floor to join them.

"Ah Miao, cast two more nets and we'll retreat!" Yu Muzhou's voice rang out from the broadcast.

Zhou Miao, who was tidying up the casting net, nodded towards the second floor. He would continue once the net was finished.

The next two nets also weighed about two or three hundred pounds each, and they piled up like a mountain on the deck.

Seeing this, Yu Muzhou decisively retreated, leaving behind the enormous blue whale.

However, the blue whale probably wouldn't bother with them. After all, such a huge creature consumes a lot of energy, and when it encounters a rare opportunity with plenty of food, it naturally wants to fill its stomach, as this is a matter of survival.

Zhou Miao rinsed the net with clean water and then hung it to dry. He then came over to the shrimp pile to help sort out the large shrimp.

They would pick out some of the larger red prawns to keep for themselves, and there was another type of prawn that was almost entirely white, generally about 15 centimeters long, with some reaching 20 centimeters, which was quite large. This was the type they mainly selected.

These whitish shrimp make up a very small percentage of the shrimp population, but out of a total of seven or eight hundred pounds of shrimp here, we were able to pick out twenty or thirty pounds.

"I didn't expect to find red prawns and king prawns here. I'm really lucky today." Luo Qianqian happily picked out a king prawn that was about the size of her palm, already thinking about how to cook it for dinner.

"It's a pity there are no small white shrimp, otherwise we could make shrimp cakes," Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly sighed.

She ate shrimp cakes made by her mother when she was a child, and they were the most delicious shrimp cakes she had ever eaten.

Because her mother was relatively gentle with her at that time, she has vivid memories of her.

"We've prepared crab and shrimp traps this time, so maybe we can get some large white shrimp." Zhou Miao didn't sense Lu Xiaoxiao's nostalgia for the past from her words, but simply assumed she wanted to eat them, so she offered a comforting remark.

However, Luo Qianqian suddenly said, "Who says shrimp cakes have to be made with small white shrimp? We can peel and devein these big prawns, cut them into pieces, and still make them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuman smiled and said, "It sounds delicious! How about we make some tonight?"

"Okay, let's make some then." Lu Xiaoxiao was indeed craving it and readily agreed.

The four of them only did a cursory sorting of the hundreds of pounds of shrimp.

After working for an hour and a half, Lu Xiaoxiao and her group brought about 30 pounds of large white shrimp and about 10 pounds of large red shrimp into the kitchen.

Large red prawns can be about ten centimeters long, but they don't need many because they only taste good when peeled and stir-fried.

Even with prawns available, they weren't as keen on eating red prawns.

Zhou Miao then scooped up the rest with a shovel, packed them into foam boxes, and moved them to the freezer to freeze.

If there's any left over, we can take it back and share it with the customers.

After rinsing the deck clean, the fishing boat stopped again.

Zhou Miao looked up and realized that they seemed to have arrived at another sea area.

We had secretly obtained some food for blue whales in the murky waters, and now, just over two hours later, we have arrived at a clear and beautiful sea area.

Clearly, they have reached the continental shelf, and Yu Muzhou has found a fantastic fishing spot.

Zhou Miao immediately went to the second-floor cockpit to check the fish finder.

Seeing him approach the fish finder, Yu Muzhou smiled and said, "How about it? The waters I found have great resources, right?"

Click to begin the wonderful journey of "My Fishing Raft Can Ask for Help".

The screen showed a depth of 103 meters. Apart from a few fish at a depth of 40 to 50 meters, the rest of the water was concentrated at the bottom.

Judging from the terrain shown at the bottom of the screen, the underwater terrain appears to be a reef.

These places are natural fishing grounds, where all kinds of high-value deep-sea fish gather.

"Great, night fishing should yield a good catch."

"Let's go downstairs and rest for a while. We can take our time to get things done after dinner."

After spending most of the day at sea, Yu Muzhou stretched and then went downstairs to the living room.

Zhou Miao followed him down, but he brought out two boxes of sardines to thaw, and also brought out two boxes of Antarctic shrimp and one box of red shrimp.

Red shrimp are used as a backup; if Antarctic krill are not effective for baiting, then red shrimp can be used.

He then prepared the fishing rod in advance and installed it on the side of the boat.

Small electric reel lines are designed for catching small fish weighing less than five pounds, while heavy-duty electric reel lines are designed for fish weighing more than thirty pounds.

He also took out a heavy-duty boat rod, which was also a spare.

We'll definitely need to use fish-attracting lights at night, otherwise if a big fish weighing several hundred pounds comes along, we'll have to fish it by hand.

Just as I was busy working, a strong, pungent aroma of deep-fried food wafted from the kitchen.

Zhou Miao couldn't help but swallow. The smell was so tempting that even though he wasn't hungry, he didn't want to eat anything.

Since the fishing line setup was already finished, he decided to head to the kitchen.

As he opened the cabin door, an even richer fragrance wafted into his nose.

"Are they frying shrimp cakes? They smell so good!"

Luo Qianqian waved a banana at him and said, "Not only that, we also got some meat, vegetables, and bananas, and made some fried snacks."

Zhou Miao went over to take a look and found there was quite a lot of stuff: "With so much, we might not be able to eat dinner."

Luo Qianqian: "Then we won't eat dinner!"

Zhang Shuman: "That makes sense. So much fried food is indeed very high in calories, so it's best not to eat it at night."

"Ah Miao, try it." Chef Lu Xiaoxiao used long chopsticks for frying to pick up a freshly fried shrimp cake and put it in Zhou Miao's mouth.

The shrimp cakes were sprinkled with chili powder and pepper, making them look very appetizing.

Zhou Miao took a bite without hesitation, even though it was slightly hot.

But the freshness of the shrimp and the aroma of the flour hit me right in the head: "Delicious! I think it tastes much better than shrimp cakes made with small white shrimp."

Shrimp cakes with shells simply can't compare in terms of texture. Not to mention, these shrimp cakes contain large chunks of shrimp, making them incredibly fresh and sweet.

Yu Muzhou couldn't sit still any longer. He put down the teapot, ran to the kitchen, grabbed a shrimp cake, and started eating.

Just as Zhou Miao had thought, after finishing this fried food, they really didn't need to eat anything else that night.

After drinking tea and chatting until six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Miao prepared to go fishing.

"I'll go put the fish-attracting light down first and see if there are any tuna tonight."

"Okay, I'll sit for a while longer. If a big fish comes, remember to call me." Having eaten quite a bit, Yu Muzhou still didn't want to move, so he continued to stay in the living room.

So Zhou Miao went to the deck alone and lowered all the fish-attracting lights.

As for Lu Xiaoxiao and the others, they had gone to the entertainment room to play Dou Dizhu (a card game), and they weren't interested in fishing in the cold wind at night.

Lu Xiaoxiao originally had the idea of ​​making money by fishing, but now all she can think about is taking care of Zhou Miao; whether she makes money or not is no longer important.

Luo Qianqian wanted to go fishing to earn money. That's just her personality. Even though Zhou Miao often gave her pocket money and she also had a salary, she felt particularly happy and at ease looking at her growing savings.
