Chapter 189: Treasures from a Sunken Ship
brick?
It cannot exist in nature.
Liu Meilan immediately thought of gold bricks, and they were very heavy ones.
Liu Meilan squatted down and used a shovel to scrape away the black stuff outside, revealing the golden color.
That’s great, it’s actually a gold brick!
Liu Meilan reached out and gently poked the turtle's head. "You, are you a spirit? You asked me for help, and you even asked for money!"
The big turtle's eyes rolled around and it rubbed its head against Liu Meilan's fingers, as if responding to Liu Meilan's words.
Mrs. Chen became a little nervous when she saw so many turtles crawling onto the reef.
"Meilan, these turtles have come up too. They are so big and scary!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, there are a lot of barnacles on these turtles. Everyone, help shovel them off!"
"Look everyone, we didn't work for free. We even paid them! These big turtles are very smart!"
So at this time everyone saw the brick in Liu Meilan's hand, which was actually golden inside.
Tang Changping was close by, so he ran over and took it in his hand, "Oh my God, isn't this a gold brick?"
Liu Meilan nodded, "I think it should be the gold bricks that sank to the bottom of the sea!"
Zhou Ze was very excited when he heard this. "Captain Meilan, is this the only piece? Can you ask where the Great Turtle shipwreck is? We can go and salvage it!"
Wu Yong reminded quietly, "If it is within our territorial waters, it belongs to the country and must be reported, otherwise it is illegal."
"If it's outside the territorial waters, it's ownerless, so whoever finds it owns it! Then we can fish it out!"
Liu Meilan nodded when she heard this, "That's true! Although gold bricks are valuable, as long as they are within our country's territorial waters, they belong to the country!"
Xu Kaifa smacked his lips. “What a pity!”
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "It's not a pity! If the gold falls into the hands of the country, it can be used to develop our country's economy, science and technology, and education. It will be of great use."
"Although we are fishermen, we must have the necessary awareness! We should take what belongs to us. We don't want a cent of what doesn't belong to us. Only when the country is strong, other countries will not dare to bully us. We can also be more confident when we go out to sea to fish."
Xu Kaifa chuckled, "It seems that my awareness is not high enough! I will transform my thoughts and improve my ideological and moral standards in the future!"
As they talked, they cleaned the barnacles off the turtles.
They worked for nearly two hours and finally removed all the barnacles from dozens of large turtles.
Liu Meilan patted the turtle's back and raised the gold brick with her other hand, "Where did you find this? Take me to see it!"
The big turtle shook his head excitedly and agreed.
Liu Meilan and her group boarded the boat and had someone lower the net.
Led by the big turtle, we sailed forward about 10 nautical miles.
Liu Meilan was shocked to find that there were 10 sunken ships below, about 40 meters below the sea.
After swimming here, the big turtle sank to the bottom of the water.
After a while, the big turtle fished up another gold brick from the bottom of the sea.
Liu Meilan held the scoop net, and the big turtle spit the gold bricks into the scoop net.
Tang Changping came over and said, "Meilan, this should be it. It's within the territorial waters. What a pity."
Liu Meilan also felt distressed. "A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. We don't want money that doesn't belong to us. I'll send a telegram to the shore, Uncle Tang, you pull up the net."
Tang Changping nodded, "Okay!"
Liu Meilan was holding two gold bricks in her hand, looking at them with envy.
Tang Xiaoyu cannot be contacted about this matter because there will be a transfer in the middle and the information will be leaked.
Suddenly he remembered that Fu Chen had given him his contact information so that he could contact the troops in time after retrieving the reconnaissance device.
So Liu Meilan started to contact Fu Chen.
The boatmen were all envious, but they also knew that the money was beyond their reach.
After all, even Captain Meilan is not interested, so there is no point for them to be interested!
"Wow!" An exclamation came from outside, attracting everyone's attention.
Because this burst the net, there are a lot of very good bass here.
These good fish made up for everyone's inner reluctance, and they still felt that getting rich through hard work was what they deserved.
Everyone started to sort the catch. Tang Changping continued to cast the net and then circled around to drag the net to catch fish.
It is said that after Fu Chen received the content conveyed by Liu Meilan, he was stunned.
A shipwreck containing gold bricks was found within the territorial waters, and the coordinates were written on it.
Fu Chen reported it immediately.
Of course, the leaders above took it very seriously and directly ordered two warships to be sent over.
Fu Chen is also on it.
Seeing Fu Chen's reply, Liu Meilan felt relieved.
Liu Meilan took the boat and cast two nets in succession nearby before Fu Chen came.
"Here!" Liu Meilan waved her hand.
Fu Chen drove the speedboat over and asked, "Meilan, do you have any real stuff?"
Liu Meilan handed over two gold bricks, "Yes, take them for testing, they are nearby. But it's a bit deep, more than 40 meters here!"
Fu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have professional equipment here."
"Then I feel relieved." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "We have been hanging around for a long time, it's time to go fishing somewhere else."
Fu Chen saw Liu Meilan with a bright and beautiful smile, and smiled, "I wish you peace and a fruitful return."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Well, I will. Goodbye, Fu Chen!"
After saying goodbye to Fu Chen, we turned the boat around and continued sailing southwest.
Fu Chen returned to the warship and after testing, it was confirmed that it was indeed a gold brick.
Chen An sighed, "Captain, Liu Meilan is really conscious."
Fu Chen smiled, "Yes, Meilan loves money, but she gets it in a proper way. This is territorial waters, and the sunken ships and mineral deposits on the seabed all belong to the country."
"Whether as a military family member or as a captain, Liu Meilan is qualified and admirable."
On the warship, there was a submersible that looked like a large bird egg and was placed in the water.
After the inspection, two people went in.
There are transparent glass windows through which you can see the underwater world.
When the submersible dived to more than 40 meters, it immediately reported, "There is indeed a shipwreck below, and there is more than one. Some boxes are rotten, but some are not. Things that look like gold bricks are scattered out."
The people above were also very excited when they heard the report. "Continue to explore how many sunken ships there are in total. Use the robotic arm to determine the preliminary number of gold bricks."
After exploration, these people not only found a large number of gold bricks, but also a large number of gold and silver utensils.
But judging from the shape, it should be from abroad.
As for which country it belongs to, they don't know. They will know after it is fished out and experts identify it.
Chief of Staff Liu was stunned when he received the report from below.
His little girl is really good at making achievements!
The gold bricks and gold and silver products from the ten shipwrecks should be worth a lot of money!
Teacher Yu showed envy in his eyes, "Old Liu, tell me, how did you give birth to this girl? I'm going back to have another one with my wife now!"
When Chief of Staff Liu heard this, he laughed and scolded: "How old are you? You still want to have another child? Do you really think family planning is a joke?"
"Hurry up and find a wife for your eldest son, so that your son and daughter-in-law can survive! Don't think about these messed up things!"
Mayor Yu envied, "Look at your daughter, you have salvaged so many reconnaissance devices, and now you have discovered a sunken ship! If they are all gold bars and gold and silver products, there must be at least dozens of tons of gold!"
"I can't even calculate how much it's worth! Our navy's research and development needs a lot of money! If we hand over this gold, we must negotiate with the higher-ups and ask them to allocate more funds to us."
Chief of Staff Liu agreed with what he said, "Of course! With more funding, your equipment research and development can be accelerated! Seeing those foreign warships and aircraft carriers circling around us, our equipment is backward and we are so anxious!"
Commander Yu nodded, "Let's call the political commissar and discuss how to handle this matter! In addition, we must invite your daughter to this year's commendation meeting. I want to present the award to her in person!"
Chief of Staff Liu laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. "Alright! Reward her if she has made any contribution. You can't not commend Meilan just because she is my daughter."
Liu Meilan didn't actually take these things to heart. She felt that she was just doing what a Chinese person should do.
Her bottom line is to make money and do business legally and in compliance with regulations.
She won't take anything that doesn't belong to her, even if you give it to her.
Because of this, Liu Meilan never caused trouble for her father who held a high position. Instead, because of her achievements, Chief of Staff Liu became the envy of his colleagues.
At this time, Liu Meilan was looking at the net bag that had just been hung up with a smile on her face.
"Meilan, you untie the net this time." Mrs. Chen urged.
Liu Meilan nodded, walked over and untied the fishing net.
Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "It's actually a fire point!"
This fish is relatively easy to identify. There is a black spot on the back of the body, which spans about 2/3 above the lateral line.
The back and sides of the body are brown and reddish brown, and the abdomen is pink.
The meat of this fish is fresh and delicious, slightly soft and glutinous, smooth yet a little rough, with a strong fish flavor.
Before the emergence of farmed firefish, wild firefish were very expensive from the 60s to the 80s and were very popular in Hong Kong Island.
Most of these nets are 30 to 50 centimeters long, which is a relatively easy-to-sell specification.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Sister Chen, let's make a few fire points for lunch today!"
Mrs. Chen nodded, sorting the fish and putting some of the fish that were not in good condition into the bucket. "Do you want to eat it fried, braised, braised, or steamed?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "I prefer steamed ones, but some people may like braised ones. You can make both!"
Mrs. Chen nodded, "Okay! If there are any leftovers that are not of good quality, I will make some sashimi for everyone! I bought seasonings suitable for eating sashimi."
"Okay! Let's do it!" Liu Meilan nodded. "We are doing the work. Go cook now! When we are done, it will be time for dinner."
Mrs. Chen agreed, "Okay, I'll go cook now! When you're done, we can eat!"
At this time, Wu Yong found a fish while sorting fish, which looked like a grouper.
But this one was spotted and densely packed, unlike anything he had seen before.
Wu Yong grabbed the fish in his hand and asked, "What kind of fish is this?"
"We call this thing hawksbill grouper, and sometimes it's also called Huaying, which is a name that came from Hong Kong Island." Tang Changping replied.
Wu Yong's eyes lit up, "He has so many dots on his body, does it taste as good as rat spots and is it also expensive?"
Hearing this, the other boatmen all laughed.
Wu Yong was puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"
Tang Changping explained with a smile: "Although they are all groupers, different groupers have different tastes. For example, this grouper has tender meat, is small in size, has little meat and thin bones, and has an average fish flavor."
"The taste of the ratfish is quite good, and it has a lot of meat and grows big. Although they both have spots on their bodies, they are different! The spots on the ratfish are black spots on white skin. But look at this Huaying spot, the black spots are large and dense, and there are white lines on the black fish that form irregular shapes! It looks like the back of a hawksbill turtle!"
At this time, Wu Yong blinked his eyes and asked, "What does a hawksbill turtle look like?"
Tang Changping replied: "The hawksbill turtle is a type of turtle. Its back is similar in color to the fish, and the patterns on its back are similar as well."
Wu Yong took note of it. There were so many things to learn.
Zhou Ze didn't talk much, but he also wrote down everyone's conversation.
"What is the name of this fish with four stripes on its body?" Zhou Ze asked.
Liu Meilan replied: "Well, this is called four-banded snapper, also known as thrush. The meat of this fish is fresh, soft, glutinous and smooth with a little coarseness. Although the fish flavor is light, it is also fragrant."
Since Wu Yong and Zhou Ze were eager to learn, the others were happy to explain to them.
In just a short while, they got to know a lot of fish.
During the meal, Liu Meilan enjoyed the steamed fish with great relish.
The braised dish tasted good too, but what surprised her most was that Mrs. Chen’s sashimi was also very good.
Each slice is crystal clear, and with the improved dipping sauce made by Mrs. Chen, it tastes quite good.
Although many people think that sashimi should be dipped in mustard, Liu Meilan is not used to it and still prefers Chinese dipping sauce.
It was getting dark outside. Because they had wasted time during the day, they decided to continue to slowly untangle the nets at night, and the boatmen took a rest in batches.
Liu Meilan started fishing in the first half of the night, at eleven o'clock, and pulled another net.
Golden.
Mrs. Chen exclaimed, "Meilan, we caught another big yellow croaker."
Several people came over and were very surprised.
"Good fish, with this net, we will definitely make a lot of money this time." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Hurry up, everyone."
Maybe their voices were a little loud, and the boatmen who were resting also stood up.
When I saw the big yellow croaker, I suddenly felt less sleepy.
Nothing makes a fisherman happier than a good fish.
The fish are sorted according to different weight grades, quickly transported to the fish hold and properly stored.
At night, vision is limited and speed is slower.
After an hour and a half, the sorting was finally completed.
At this time, the fishing net had been dragged in the sea for two hours, and it was time to pull up the net.
Although there were no yellow croakers in this catch, Liu Meilan liked it very much. There were many miscellaneous fish and also moonfish.
It was the middle of the night, when moon fish appear, and there were quite a few in this net.
At this moment, Xu Kaifa ran over from the cab.
"Uncle Xu, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Liu Meilan asked. She rarely saw such a flustered expression on Xu Kaifa's face.
