“Yi Ying is right, we're here for the experience.”
Yang Xu stared at the event poster, nodding slightly as he spoke.
Yi Ying seemed to have noticed a detail.
Pointing to the logo on the “Alaskan Crab Catch” event poster, she said, “Why does this have Discovery Channel vibes everywhere? They are in charge of the media operation and promotion of this event, aren’t they?”
In fact.
Alaskan Crab Catch is a traditional documentary that Discovery Channel has been running for 17 years.
And the early crab season, as a pre-heating event for “Alaskan Crab Catch.”
Uses a high amount of rewards as the selling point for the program.
As a veteran documentary distributor.
Discovery Channel is very unique in its operation.
The viewers in the live stream became more enthusiastic:
【This is equivalent to the pre-season of the Alaskan King Crab Season? The foreigners are so cool.】
【It is said that there is a quota for King Crab fishing each year, and the early crab season should only last for a few days, and the fishing quota should also be reduced.】
【Although I don't know what it is, is Brother Xu just trying to experience it, there's no need to be so serious.】
“I have an immature suggestion.” Yi Ying suddenly said.
Yang Xu raised an eyebrow and asked, “What suggestion?”
“Should we have dinner first?” Yi Ying said, rubbing her stomach.
Gurgling~
Her stomach rumbled in perfect timing.
After passing through the Aleutian Islands.
In order to reach the Alaskan Peninsula as soon as possible, the two hadn't even eaten lunch.
A $24 King Crab buffet.
60 minutes unlimited.
Besides the King Crab.
There are also Alaska's signature products.
Snow Crab and Salmon, etc.
It's outrageously cheap!
Although Yang Xu had said he didn't want to eat a buffet before.
But he was still the first to enter the restaurant before Yi Ying.
“Hey~ Men are all hypocrites.”
Yi Ying said mischievously to the live stream: “Just wait for a “so delicious” warning~"
Yang Xu, without turning his head, said, "What are you mumbling about."
“We'll have dinner here and ask around the restaurant about the early crab season, killing two birds with one stone.”
As a local ‘specialty product’.
King Crab that sells for thousands of dollars a piece abroad.
Here in the port town, it is used as buffet ingredients.
Most importantly, it's fresh!
Although Yang Xu and Yi Ying were planning to eat dinner.
But in Xia Country, across the Pacific Ocean, it was still lunchtime.
This made the viewers who hadn't had lunch yet cry out in hunger.
【I just checked online for the price of a cruise trip to Alaska, I also want to eat fresh King Crab.】
【Please tell me the price, let me die in peace, thanks.】
【It starts at 50,000 RMB, that's my annual salary, forget it, never mind…】
Reality is reality.
Even though the audience were drooling through the screen.
But no one would be willing to spend 50,000 RMB for a cruise tour just to eat a $24 King Crab meal.
During the time they had dinner at the restaurant.
Yang Xu chatted casually with the talkative restaurant owner.
Mainly about the early crab season.
The restaurant owner's name was Lucas, and he was also a Bering Sea crabber.
He had a ruddy nose and a big beard.
He loved to drink vodka.
He claimed to be one of the few indigenous people in Alaska.
Ten years ago, he was hit by a crab pot that was being lifted and his leg was injured.
He walked a little unsteadily.
He had not been to sea since then.
He was shocked to hear that Yang Xu and Yi Ying were going to go crab fishing using the "Cloud Sail" yacht.
“Every time a crabber goes to sea, they can brush shoulders with death. Travelers from Xia Country, I advise you not to try it.”
Although Lucas poured a bucket of cold water on them.
The honest restaurant owner was also out of good intentions.
“We just want to experience the process of crab fishing, we don't want to pursue how many crabs we can catch.” Yang Xu explained with a smile.
Although the "Cloud Sail" yacht is very powerful.
And after Yang Xu used the system's attribute bonus.
But it was not a professional crab fishing boat after all.
Compared to those 100-foot crab fishing boats, the Cloud Sail is very small and cute.
Lucas was not a boss who liked to chat with diners.
But Yang Xu could see.
When it comes to going to the Bering Sea to catch crabs.
His eyes were shining.
Those who choose to go to the Bering Sea to catch Alaskan King Crab.
There are only two kinds of people.
The first kind, are those who are in dire financial straits and urgently need money to make ends meet. For example, medical expenses, or debt problems.
The second kind, are true adventurers who love to challenge the polar deep sea!
And the restaurant owner Lucas, was obviously the second type of person.
He loved the raging waves of the Bering Sea deeply~
Lucas continued, “Unlike the real crab season, this time is just a warm-up and to increase King Crab production, the open fishing time is only five days, and the quota is also reduced a lot compared to the normal crab season.”
This is also why Lucas did not recommend that Yang Xu go to sea.
In previous years, during the real King Crab fishing season, the limited amount of crabs allowed to be caught was 6.4 million kilograms.
And there were about 250 crab fishing vessels going to the Bering Sea crab grounds.
Averaging out, a crab fishing vessel could catch about 30,000 kilograms of King Crab in a few days at sea.
There are also unlucky people who will have a catch of less than 10,000 kilograms.
After hearing Lucas' explanation.
Yi Ying counted on her fingers and calculated, “The early crab season has a limited catch of only 2.8 million kilograms.”
Lucas nodded and said, “But the number of crab fishing vessels hasn't decreased, so if you want to go out to sea to catch crabs, you might not even be able to catch a crab leg.”
At this point.
Yang Xu and Yi Ying both laughed.
“Lucas has a point, maybe we haven't even started fishing when we go to sea, and the 2.8 million kilograms limit on catch will be reached.”
Then, Yi Ying said to the live stream viewers,
“So I said that the “Alaskan Crab Catch” event is just a pie in the sky, the ultimate prize requires catching a total of 600,000 US dollars worth of crab, with the total amount reduced to 2.8 million kilograms, even professional crab fishing vessels, no matter how much they catch, they won’t be able to reach the target.
Lucas expressed his agreement to this.
He wanted to invite Yang Xu to have a sip of vodka.
But Yang Xu politely declined, he didn't like strong liquor.
“In the past, during the regular crab season, excellent crab fishing vessels could catch 45,000 kilograms, and it would only be worth about 500,000 US dollars.”
“With the quota reduced, the catch of crab fishing vessels will be at most 20,000 kilograms. To exceed 600,000 US dollars and get the lifetime use right to the Alaskan cabin, it is simply a pipe dream.”
In the live stream, the viewers were quite fond of the restaurant owner, who kindly reminded them.
His conversation with Yang Xu.
was also transmitted to the live stream through a simultaneous interpreter.
【Restaurant owner Lucas is an old sailor, his leg was injured so he can't go to sea anymore.】
【It turns out that Alaskan King Crab is not very expensive when it is caught, the price is several times higher when exported to the rest of the world.】
【I only care if Brother Xu can catch a crab leg if he really goes out to sea to catch crabs... After all, this mini crab season has a limited catch of only 2.8 million kilograms.】
Yang Xu didn't care too much about what Lucas said.
After all, he didn't go for the grand prize.
He took a sip of the orange juice the boss gave him and said,
“We'll make a few modifications to the Cloud Sail, I believe that with the limited catch of 2.8 million kilograms, we should be able to catch a few to try them fresh~"
Yi Ying added,
“That's right~ If we go out to sea and can't even catch a single King Crab, Brother Xu will eat the "Cloud Sail" on the spot~"
Yang Xu coughed and said, “You set the flag, what does it have to do with me?”
