My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 175 Operation "Shark Hunt"

It was already dark when they returned to the fishing raft. Dinner was already prepared at home, so the seal meat Zhou Miao brought back could only be frozen in the refrigerator and cooked tomorrow.

We caught a fairly large number of green carp today, all weighing over ten kilograms, totaling 262 kilograms. The wholesale price for these fish to Pang Hao is 30 yuan per kilogram.

The price of fish from Qinghai and Gansu is indeed not high. For example, a fresh fish like this only retails for 41 kilograms.

The two fish, each about a meter long, weighed a total of 118 jin (approximately 64 catties). Because they were large and fat, the price per fish was 10 yuan higher, which is 41 yuan per jin.

Zhou Miao had thought he wouldn't catch many fish today and his earnings wouldn't be high, but he was surprised to find that he had sold them for 12,580 yuan.

Including the fish I caught on the reef this morning, my total earnings for today just exceeded 15,000.

The frustration of having three fish snatched away by a great white shark vanished instantly.

Then, with great delight, he pulled out the fish head that had been snatched away by the shark and shared the delicious sashimi with everyone.

Some fish are really delicious with a little soy sauce and wasabi; the fatty parts of the fish melt in your mouth, like eating jelly.

Then, Luo Hao, who had just finished get off work, brought Luo Qianqian to him and told him some big news.

"Ah Miao, did you encounter a shark when you went out to sea with Brother Zhou today?"

How did you know?

"I heard it from Ah Yong. Do you know what news I just got?"

"What news?"

Seeing his brother-in-law's mysterious demeanor, Zhou Miao cooperated and asked him questions.

"There was a fisherman in my village who was very unlucky; he had half of his right leg bitten off by a great white shark."

"Really?" Zhou Miao was surprised. He hadn't expected the great white shark to be so ferocious as to attack humans.

He frowned slightly, thinking about his plan to go sea urchin catching tomorrow.

With great white sharks that have attacked humans around, it's definitely not safe for him to dive.

Although the ocean is vast, what if you encounter it?

Zhou Miao was very confident in his luck; he was certain he would encounter such "good fortune."

"It must be true. How could anyone in my village not know? It's spread all over the place now."

"You can't really say whether that person was lucky or unlucky. If you say he was lucky, he encountered a shark and even lost a leg. If you say he was unlucky, at least he didn't lose his life," Lu Xingyu sighed after hearing the story.

"Will you be in danger when you go out to sea in the future, Brother Miao?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked with some concern.

Just imagining Zhou Miao encountering a great white shark was enough to terrify her.

"Yes, you should all stay home and behave yourselves these next few days. If this gets out of hand, the fisheries administration will definitely have to deal with it," Luo Qianqian added.

"Okay, then we won't be going out to sea for the next few days." Zhou Miao sensed the two women's worry and nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for Yu Muzhou's fishing boat, he would have been afraid of encountering that enormous great white shark on his own fishing boat.

The fishing boat is made of fiberglass and covered with a layer of wood. Even a great white shark can't do anything about its length of over ten meters.

However, if the gunwales are too low, people on the boat are prone to losing their balance and falling into the sea when the boat rocks violently, while fishing boats do not have this safety hazard.

"By the way, Ah Hao, I got a good piece of meat from Brother Zhou today. Let's have a get-together tomorrow."

"Okay! What kind of meat is it?"

"That's a secret. You'll have to taste it tomorrow and then you can guess what it's like."

"You little rascal, still playing riddles."

Luo Hao pointed at Zhou Miao, chatted for a few more minutes, and then sailed his small boat back.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I left Luo Qianqian here.

Lu Xingyu also left work without warning, and needless to say, he would be working until dawn again tonight.

......

Zhou Miao had expected things to escalate, but he didn't expect the news to reach the fish farm area and become increasingly exaggerated.

The fisherman, who had only lost part of his right leg, had been devoured by fish overnight.

But since it was a great white shark that attacked humans, the nature of the attack was indeed serious.

Just like when a brown bear attacks humans in the Far East, local authorities will directly arrange for hunters to hunt it down.

So when Zhou Miao got up, he saw that there were already patrol boats patrolling back and forth near the shore, obviously to prevent great white sharks from running into the near-shore waters.

He was also notified that no one was allowed to go into the water today.

Picking up his phone, Zhou Miao saw several messages from Yu Muzhou.

Tell him not to go out to sea today, because not only are fishery administration boats patrolling, but the coast guard is also carrying out shark hunting operations.

Only after killing that great white shark can we travel safely.

Of course, large ships are unaffected; as long as they don't go into the water, there's no problem.

Especially some large trawlers, they might even be able to catch great white sharks directly.

With radar fish detectors, the chances of a great white shark escaping are slim.

However, Zhou Miao tasted the "beef" with a seafood flavor at the fish raft and rested for two more days, but still did not receive any news that the great white shark had been killed.

With the fishing competition drawing ever closer, he also wanted to catch sea urchins to develop the next fishing spot, and if he kept wasting time, he wouldn't have enough time.

Secondly, the presence of great white sharks also has a certain impact on fishing competitions.

Great white sharks can't do anything to the three types of fishing boats, but the competitors might not be so fearless!

In the event of an accident, the impact on the club would be even greater.

Therefore, Zhou Miao could only send a message to Yu Muzhou to inquire about inside information.

"Brother Zhou, still haven't you dealt with the Great White Shark?"

Yu Muzhou, who was staying at home, was also helpless about this. He was also worried that this matter would affect the fishing competition, so he had been paying close attention to the "shark hunting" operation recently.

"This is tough! I just asked a friend, and he's spotted a great white shark six times in the last three days. But apart from the first time he successfully shot and wounded it, it's been hiding in the deep sea ever since."

"If all else fails, we might have to consider using torpedoes. But that requires approval from higher authorities and going through the proper procedures."

Looking at Yu Muzhou's reply, Zhou Miao touched the stubble on his chin and thought of the video of foreigners using boiled chicken to catch sharks.

"Brother Zhou, great white sharks aren't a problem in deep water, just catch them, right?"

"They have considered what you're saying, but it hasn't been effective so far."

After Yu Muzhou typed and sent the message in a flurry, he suddenly froze, then his eyes lit up.

"If others can't catch it, Ah Miao might be able to. How could I have forgotten about this kid?"

If it were anyone else, this would definitely be a lost cause, but Yu Muzhou is friends with the person in charge of this operation, and they have a very good relationship. Getting Zhou Miao to help out is no problem at all.

Thinking of this, Yu Muzhou immediately called his friend.

"Hey Lao Yan, we might not need to apply for the torpedo anymore. I suddenly thought of a friend who might be able to catch a great white shark."

"He's a bit of a mystic, with exceptionally good luck at sea. Your application for torpedoes just didn't go well; you might as well try again?"

Yu Muzhou's friends naturally didn't believe his explanation, but they could certainly try it for another day.

They are currently tracking the great white shark, but the shark is staying in deep water, so they are unable to do anything about it for the time being.

If it works out, then everyone will be happy.
