Someone took delivery of the fishing boat, so Ye Yaodong went down to the deck and watched the packages being released one by one.
During the one or two hours of catching fish, if you let him get familiar with it, you will probably be able to do it yourself.
It was still early at the moment, so he waited until he could lower the net and watched it being collected and put down.
"Good guy, this one is so big, it looks like it's almost 200 pounds..."
"Oh, I can't hold it, but I still want to lift it up to see if it is taller than me."
"Definitely, you are not as tall as a fish...haha..."
"Don't laugh at me, you are the same, the fish are bigger than you..."
Some people have just woken up and are already excited when they talk with a wake-up sound.
Still have too little knowledge.
After waiting for the first half month, it will probably calm down.
Ye Yaodong said: "Pick the biggest one, the one you have, the big one, bleed it immediately, then fillet it into sashimi and mix some sauce."
"Brother Dong is so grand, hahaha, and he wants to eat the biggest and most expensive one."
"We are still reluctant to eat big food..."
"If there's anything you can't bear to do, eat it! In this life, you only want to be happy on top and happy on the bottom."
His net worth of several thousand yuan is enough for him to earn. With his current wealth, he still doesn’t feel bad about eating a fish, and he will definitely not be able to finish it. There are too many delicious and fresh goods on the boat. By then, this
I can probably keep more than half of the fish home for my family to try.
200 kilograms is enough to set up several full-fish feasts.
"Haha, what do we bachelors do when you say this?"
"It would be nice to feel less comfortable..."
"Is it really a waste to kill them and eat them? Isn't it too wasteful? We can just eat the bomb fish..."
"Kill!" Ye Yaodong said firmly.
"Then I kill? Really?"
"Forget it, change it to a smaller one, this one is too big..."
"Yes, yes, yes, change to smaller ones. They are all the same fish. Let's eat smaller ones and sell the larger ones for money..."
Everyone happily discussed changing the fish.
Ye Yaodong shook his head. He didn't care about money, but they still felt sorry for him. So let them say whatever he said.
At this time, the fish collection bag that was put down again was filled with fish products, and some workers took the initiative to tighten the net mouth, shouting that they were ready to continue hoisting the second bag.
The class that stayed up late has not left yet and is still there to help.
"We are short of a cook on the boat. Such a good fish cannot be prepared better..."
"Wait until I get back and learn a few tricks from the fat man."
"Then it's better to let him send a nephew to work on the ship, who can help and cook, haha..."
"A good idea, it makes sense." Ye Yaodong really thought this was a good idea.
When I get back, I'll ask the fat man if he has any nephews who can cook who need employment. The salary on his ship is actually pretty good. This year, he has raised his salary to 90 a month.
It's no worse than the master chefs in those restaurants, it's just that it's not that easy on the boat, but there are so many beginners who should laugh.
If that doesn't work, then the fat man will have to clean up and process the ingredients he brought back.
Can what the chef makes be the same as what ordinary people make? I happened to invite some friends to have a drink and dinner together.
"Oh, there's also tuna, I saw it..."
Ye Yaodong looked up and saw that there was still big-eye tuna in the package.
Most of the fish that survive in the East China Sea are big-eye tuna. If you want to encounter other tuna, you have to be lucky unless there are special circumstances or you are lucky.
Three or four tuna were released from this net, and they were quite big. He could tell at a casual glance that they weighed about 150 to 200 kilograms.
He was the first to be dragged out by the workers, dragged to the side, and queued up for bloodletting immediately.
He also helped drag one and took a knife to do the bleeding himself.
This type of deep-sea fish needs to be bled as soon as it is hauled up if the meat is to remain sour.
If he dies in the sea for too long and is dragged up too slowly, it will be too late to bleed him.
In fact, there is no need to bleed all deep-sea fish, because the process of bleeding also requires labor. The most important thing is to look at their use.
The fish that need to be bled are usually of higher quality. Because of their relatively high value, they can usually be used for sashimi, thus becoming a relatively high-end consumer product.
Of course, you will earn more money, and it is very easy to earn back the labor consumed by bloodletting.
Draining the blood is actually easier to preserve and can be transported over long distances so that it can be sold further away.
Without bleeding, even if it is kept frozen, the quality of the fish will be damaged. The blood will also provide nutrients for bacteria and other microorganisms, which will accelerate the decay of the fish.
There are still many red squids in this net, and these big red squids are also the tuna's food.
Among the several big-eye tuna that were dragged up, one of them still had a big red squid stuck in its mouth. Its body was inside, and its tentacles were still exposed outside the mouth. The tuna seemed to be choking to death, and its eyes were wide.
There are also many horsehead fish, polly fish, shrimp steaks, red shrimps, prawns, big swallow pomfret, amberjack, red snapper and other rare and valuable fish in the fishing net, most of which are red.
After dragging out the tuna and bomb fish, at first glance, most of the fish bin lids were red, which looked particularly festive.
The workers have already picked them there quickly.
After Ye Yaodong helped bleed out the blood of several tuna, he started picking through them to see if there were any good ones.
"Hey, there is also a tortoiseshell grouper..."
He picked out a spotted fish from a pile of fish.
The head, body and fins are light in color, and the body is densely covered with circular to hexagonal dark spots. The narrow intervals between the spots form a network pattern, just like wavy spots.
"Grouper, this fish is so expensive, it's a pity that it's dead."
“It’s not easy to find live trawls, so it’s pretty good.”
After he picked up the fish tail and looked at it, he threw it aside and let the workers put it with other valuable fish later.
This kind of grouper does not live in a group. They are very territorial and will catch a few occasionally.
Ye Yaodong first went to sweep the remaining goods that everyone picked into the basket.
These are all useless, some are quite small, weighing two or three kilograms, but they are not worth much. The largest number of crabs are still crawling around alive, which is a pity.
After he swept the basket full, he picked it up, walked to the side of the boat, tilted the fish basket, and poured it all back with a splash.
A bunch of seabirds swooped down, and some even got into his basket, and then they were all thrown into the sea by the fish. Then they disappeared and fell on the water behind the fishing boat.
"Silly bird!"
Suddenly, a big fish appeared under the water, stretched out its looming head, and then sucked the fish he dumped into the sea along with the seawater.
The surrounding sea surface produced a siphon effect, which made his mouth open as well.
"Fuck, shark."
After the basket in his hand was emptied, the fish was gone.
Ye Yaodong immediately went to sweep the leftover groceries that everyone picked up into baskets, and carried three baskets in a row to the side of the ship.
He looked at the sea and looked at the rolling white flowers behind the fishing boat. It seemed that all the big fish were behind the stern of the boat.
This guess he had was well founded.
When the propeller is operating, it will make the surrounding water extremely rich in oxygen, which can attract fish.
Some small fish will be crushed by the propeller accidentally, exuding a huge fishy smell in the water.
This will attract a lot of big fish to pounce on them, and the big fish that prey on them will be easily hurt by the propeller.
He continued to pick up the basket at his feet and dumped it into the sea. Before he finished emptying the basket, several more dolphins came out of the boat.
One of them even had wavy lines on his body, which were caused by being hit by the propeller and caused by gluttony.
At this time, many seabirds gathered around him, and some brazenly swooped down to grab the basket at his feet.
Not to mention the basket at his feet, above the cover of the fish barn, where the workers were sorting, there were seabirds that boldly rushed down to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth.
The workers are quick-sighted and can even slap them.
Ye Yaodong kept pouring it repeatedly until it was all finished, and then he went to help here and there.
The worker who stayed up late went to rest after lifting half of the goods, but he was still there.
When all the goods were hoisted and the net was about to be lowered again to continue the work, he watched to see if anything went wrong.
There was no problem with closing the net just now. If there is no problem with taking the net off now, he can probably rest.
He stayed on the deck all the time and knew that the net collected nearly 30,000 jins, but only left less than 20,000 jins.
This is because large fish such as tuna, bomb fish, and ghost-headed swordfish account for the quantity, so there are so many retained.
Otherwise, this net might only weigh a little over 10,000 kilograms.
It's quite a lot. In less than 24 hours since we came out yesterday, we have already caught 110,000 kilograms.
After he finished breakfast, he looked at his watch. It was past 7 o'clock, almost 8 o'clock. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, making him feel warm and cold at the same time.
The fishing net at the stern of the boat was like a long snake, slowly burrowing under the water. Until it disappeared, he climbed up to the helm and said hello to his old cousin.
"Abiao, how are you? Do you feel like you don't understand something? Are you having trouble getting it right or are you confused?"
"As for the sonar detection and the various small dots on the screen, tell me again..."
"OK……"
Ye Yaodong told him these technological things again to make sure he remembered them all before going to sleep in the cabin behind the cockpit.
The upper part was far away from the engine below, so the noise was slightly quieter. He put some cotton in his ears and felt more comfortable.
Anyway, as long as something happens, you can still hear the door being knocked harder. Now it's just to isolate the noise and have a better rest.
As soon as he took off his clothes, pants and shoes, his smelly feet shrank into the bed. He couldn't smell anything and fell asleep instantly.
I couldn't even smell my own feet.
Ye Yaodong didn't wake up until lunch time. All the workers on the deck had already gotten up to work there.
Looking from the top down, there are a bunch of big squid hanging below. As we are driving, the wind blows with the smell of squid, and it looks like it is half dry.
It should be about the same tomorrow. The weather is dry now, and it will shrink after drying overnight. It will be exposed to the sun again during the day.
The old watch saw him standing on the helm and coming out of the cockpit.
"Dongzi, do you want to open it for you?"
"Nothing went wrong in the past few hours, right?"
"No, it went very smoothly. In fact, it felt quite simple after I learned how to do it."
"Yeah, it's not difficult at first. You can understand it. Once you know how to understand it, it will be easy. If you don't know how, it will make you blind. You can continue to stay in there, work more and become more proficient. I will go to eat first."
"OK."
The tuna we asked them to cook in the morning was already sliced, and they were put into the basin very roughly, with the shadow of broken ice cubes still visible underneath.
The sauce was also mixed. He dipped his chopsticks casually, took a bite of the chopsticks, and added a little cooking wine and dried chili peppers. There was no mustard, so he had to make do.
He asked when he saw someone coming over, reaching out and randomly taking a piece of fish and stuffing it into his mouth.
"When were you sliced? Should the rest be refrigerated or frozen?"
"I just finished my busy work and took some time to cook and sliced ​​some meat. I cut half of the meat and put it in the refrigerator to continue slicing it later. The remaining half was frozen. They said there was too much fish and I would definitely not be able to finish it.
, I’m still thinking about the shredded squid that’s still drying there.”
Ye Yaodong also turned to take a look, reached out and pinched it, "It's early, the meat is too thick, and it will have to be dried for another day tomorrow."
"If you are in a hurry to eat it, you should cut it into strips. It will dry faster this way. If it is such a big one, it will not be so fast if you hang it whole to dry it?"
The worker scratched his head and said, "It's so busy. There are few manpower at night. Haha, just keep it simple. I'll get the scissors and cut them into strips."
"That's okay too."
He took it to the tip of his nose and smelled it again. It had a strong smell of sea, and that was it.
"Brother Dong, you should eat first."
"Um."
He ate tuna sashimi first, and sometimes he didn't eat it for a long time and still thought about this bite.
What's more, this was just caught, and the blood was bled immediately, and then it was kept fresh and sliced ​​into sashimi.
Just looking at the fish meat, the color is tender and shiny, the meat is firm and firm, and there is no fishy smell.
It is difficult to eat such fresh food on the shore. Basically, the meat is loose, light and dull, the taste is sour and has no umami, and is slightly fishy. It is almost impossible to eat without dipping it in mustard soy sauce.
Now there is a hint of freshness and sweetness in the entrance, and it has a unique flavor whether eaten directly or dipped in sauce. I ate it often on the ship in my previous life.
But he still couldn't eat too much sashimi. After all, it was raw and had to be eaten appropriately, so he only took a few bites, focusing on cooked food.
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, we caught a big turtle..."
"What kind of turtle is it? When did you catch it?"
"Now, they saw a turtle following the fishing boat, so they tried to catch it, and they actually caught it."
"Let me take a look." Ye Yaodong followed him with his rice bowl in hand, "Let him go free."
"It's quite a big one, almost as big as a washbasin, but it makes me roll my eyes."
There is another one, probably around two o'clock. It's too late to write. I'll add another one later, but it still counts the day before.
