Chapter 152: Lobster Process
Cage equipment for large lobsters.
"This is a tool specially prepared for catching lobsters. I remember a friend mentioned this before. Lobsters like to live in places where weeds grow. Even when they are farmed artificially, it is impossible to completely remove the mud at the bottom. So these shrimps often dig holes. If you use a fishing net, it must be very tiring for people in regular farms to operate it."
Wu Nan then unfolded the trap, saying, "This is called a ground trap, which is used specifically to catch lobsters under certain circumstances."
Yu Xiaowei noticed that the length of this trap is about 20 to 30 meters, with circular designs at both ends and more than ten grids in the middle. Each grid is inlaid with thorns with opposite directions of obstruction.
"Put this equipment into a large lobster farm, and then put some attracting materials or bait inside. The crayfish will smell the scent and enter the trap. Once inside the net cage, these ratchets will hinder its movement path. Once inside the cage, it is difficult to find a way out, so the crayfish will continue to explore deeper places and cannot return to the starting point." Wu Nan continued after his explanation.
"I see!"
For Yu Xiaowei, who had never heard of this method before, this catching technique was refreshing.
Now that they have a new method to use, they may not be able to move forward today, but have to stay tonight. One of the reasons why Yu Xiaowei is willing to stop temporarily is that her current points have been drastically reduced. Although she gained more than a thousand points through a single ability, she was reduced to only 70 points due to another more ordinary ability.
She was quite attracted by the several lobster-related delicacies on the menu, and the high score meant a high recognition of the cooking skills, so she would never give up easily. However…
If you use a different species of lobster as the cooking object, you will not only get more points, but the lobster meat will also be extremely delicious.
After thinking for a while, Yu Xiaowei looked in a direction not far away. At this moment, Xiaobao, who was riding on this alien lobster, seemed particularly excited and happy. At this time, she was considering whether to make this giant mutant crayfish as a dish? This is a rewrite of the story content of Chapter 135 "The fishing net in the river never stops."
Here, Yu Xiaowei was thinking about how to deal with a giant mutant lobster. In contrast, Wu Nan and Liu Peng, who were also friends who were going to stay with him tonight, had already driven to the party that had come earlier and started setting traps to catch more lobsters.
After confirming that they would stay in this place tonight, Shang Yun and Zhang Sheng entered the house and started to tidy up their living quarters.
At this time, Yu Xiaowei was leaning against the gate, staring at the giant mutant lobster, hesitating whether to cook it or not. Previously, she was reluctant to part with the 1,000 exchange points, so she angrily stated that she would process the mutant prawn into food as soon as possible.
However, after watching Xiaobao interacting happily with the silly lobster, she considered whether to stew Xiaobao as a toy. At this time, "Xiaowei, the house is tidied. Ah, where is the mutant lobster?" Shang Yun came out and asked Yu Xiaowei who had been observing from the window. He knew that she had mentioned that she would stew the lobster in a while.
So Yu Xiaowei thought about it: since he had already set up a trap to catch crayfish, he would leave it alone for now. Anyway, as long as there was someone by its side, it would follow wherever it went. If there was nothing to eat on the way, he would consider the next move.
There may be no harm to lobsters, as they can be carried around. "Shang Yun is right. If you stew the lobsters now, Xiaobao will probably be sad." Shang Yun said this while looking at the happy figure holding the lobsters and laughing on the huge body behind him. This decision made it unnecessary to struggle between eating lobsters and using them as toys for the time being. Yu Xiaowei had a new idea - let lobsters become a pleasure to accompany Xiaobao first. Then, she invited Xiaobao to play in the yard. Outside, they needed to pay attention to possible zombie situations at all times, so they followed Shang Yun back to the room. This place obviously did not look like a permanent residence, but just a small station for temporarily collecting lobsters. Therefore, the utensils here were complete, but there was no need to worry about food. Yu Xiaowei was no stranger to this problem. She had prepared a rich variety of ingredients in advance and foresaw that many fresh lobsters would arrive later.
At this moment, Wu Nan and Liu Peng, who drove to the other side, also started their work. Liu Peng, who had been there before, led the two to approach the target area through a hidden path based on the familiar location, and put down several lobster nets. "I remember a friend said that it is best to set traps in a slightly dark environment during the day, and at night it is more effective to place them in a location with cold light, which is more conducive to increasing the success rate of capture."
Liu Peng then followed this theory and roughly found some suitable locations. He set up net bags at two selected locations and asked Wu Nan, "Brother Wu, do I think these ideas are OK?" Without fully understanding the principles, he selected some places based on guesswork. He released the net bags and immediately sought confirmation from his companions.
Wu Nan only briefly evaluated this question and pointed out, "It seems that you have made choices based on rumors and have not really put them into practice. In theory, this approach is still a good suggestion: That's it. I personally think it should be fine, but the bait we provided is not enough, and I don't know if it is enough to attract those lobsters." Then Wu Nan added, "My fishing net seems to be still in the car. Why don't we try to catch some fish and try to increase the bait to increase our catch."
The source of the bait came from Yu Xiaowei. They were small fish that they accidentally got when catching lobsters. They were inactive and were used directly as bait.
The two men acted immediately and quickly picked up the fishing gear in the car. One of them was responsible for the shore, while the other assisted at the riverside while also being alert to the situation under the water.
"Wu, hurry up, there seems to be a big one." As Liu Peng shouted, he felt the bait sink and immediately called Wu Nan to step back. When the fishing gear was pulled back, the two stared at the foreign object in shock: "What is this?"
The two figures looked at each other, and after trying to figure it out again and again, they still couldn't figure out what the object's true identity was.
"Perhaps we should just return it to its original place and show it to everyone. Madam Yu is quite experienced and may be able to recognize it."
Wu Nan caught a glimpse of the treasure in the net and proposed it to Liu Peng.
Liu Peng nodded in agreement. "That makes sense, and there are many strange creatures in the river. The mutated crayfish that was caught was also accidentally caught by Yu ** when he was fishing in the mud. He didn't expect it to be the only mutated one, but this one is obviously different."
"It's better to observe first. Remember the bucket? It's hard to hold it by hand."
I remembered the loss of the tool bucket in my hand.
"Brother Wu, keep holding the fishing rod tightly. I'll go get the bucket." Liu Peng entrusted the task to Wu Nan, and hurried to the vehicle. After a while, he returned with the bucket.
The strange creature was dumped into a bucket, and its violent struggle made it conspicuous. To prevent it from escaping, Liu Peng covered the mouth of the bucket with a fishing net. The two men tried to prevent it from being splashed and brought the container back to the cabin where they were staying.
"Xiaowei, we have found something strange. Let's identify what it is."
Before entering the courtyard, Liu Peng was anxious and called out. Yu Xiaowei, who was doing housework, hurriedly wiped the oil stains on her hands and walked to the door.
"What happened? What treasure did you catch?" When Wu Nan and Liu Peng heard the question, they had already placed the prey in the car and moved into the courtyard together. "Look, we set up the fishing cage and thought that the bait might not be enough, so we wanted to catch some fish, but we found this strange species, which seems to be a fish."
Liu Peng added an explanation uncertainly, removing the cover to reveal a strange, round shape like a cotton ball. Although the appearance was not very pleasing, it was covered with sharp needle-like spines and seemed to have tiny micro-fins hidden on the edges.
"It looks like we found a pufferfish-like creature, but..."
After examining it, Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh, "It turns out that it's not just an ordinary pufferfish, but a mutant pufferfish."
As we all know, when pufferfish encounter threats, their entire bodies will swell up and erect tiny spines to protect themselves from attacks by enemies.
However, this thing, although also round in shape and covered in thorns, is indeed different.
At that time, if Yu Xiao had not noticed that the shape of the pufferfish after mutation was obviously different from the normal form, he might have mistaken it for a sea urchin. Because this mutant pufferfish has grown a new shape similar to the urchin's spines, and has some characteristics that look like a mutant sea urchin. If you don't carefully observe the difference in its fins and body color - which may be the key to distinguishing it from a sea urchin - you might really think it is a sea urchin variant. Although pufferfish are not usually common in this environment, it is not uncommon for it to mutate and suddenly drift over.
In the late apocalypse, whether it is plants or animals or microorganisms, they all show unexpected changes in their characteristics when they mutate; many mutated species have even migrated long distances; Yu Xiao once saw a mutated creature called an armored armadillo near a stronghold in the Jinsha Mountain area in the old world. These strange animals unique to the Americas can actually cross the Atlantic Ocean to Asia, and no one can explain why.
Therefore, for the mutant pufferfish caught in the river of Yicheng County, the geographical location difference between them may not be too big. However, facing this situation, Yu Xiao smiled and said, "Our protagonist tonight is set on it."
