Chapter 1346

With someone to receive the fishing boat, Ye Yaodong also took the opportunity to go down to the deck and watch the cargo being released load by load.

It just so happens that during the one or two hours of fish hauling, let his cousin familiarize himself; he himself knows most of it.

It's still early, he'll wait until the net release, watch the fishing net hauled up and released, and it's about the same.

"Good guy, this one is big, looks like it's almost 200 jin..."

"Oh my, can't hold it, still want to lift it up and compare, is it taller than me."

"Definitely, you are not even as tall as a fish... hahaha..."

"Don't laugh at me, you are the same, the fish is bigger than you..."

Some people just got up, speaking with a sleepy voice, and were already excited.

Still too little experience.

Wait for half a month, and they will probably be calm.

Ye Yaodong said: "Pick the biggest one to slaughter, the one in your hand, that one is big, bleed it immediately, and then slice some sashimi, add some sauce."

"Brother Dong is generous, hahaha, and wants to eat the biggest and most expensive one."

"We are still reluctant to eat the big ones..."

"What's there to be reluctant about, eat! In this life, just want to be happy above and happy below."

This net is worth thousands of yuan, enough for him to earn; with his current family background, he doesn't feel heartache eating a fish, and it definitely can't be finished; there are too many delicious and fresh goods on the boat; by then, this fish can probably leave more than half to take home for his family to taste.

200 jin is enough to set up a few tables of full fish feast.

"Hahaha, what should we bachelors do with this?"

"Just be a little less happy..."

"Really kill it to eat? Too wasteful, right? Should we just eat triggerfish..."

"Kill!" Ye Yaodong said affirmatively.

"Then I'll kill it? Really kill it?"

"Forget it, change to a smaller one, this one is too big..."

"Yes, yes, yes, change to a smaller one, it's the same fish, let's eat a smaller one, sell the big one for money..."

Everyone happily discussed and changed the fish.

Ye Yaodong shook his head; he didn't feel heartache for money, but they felt heartache for him; then what could he say, just follow them.

At this time, the fish collection bag that was released again was filled with fish cargo, and some workers took the initiative to tighten the net mouth, shouting to let them prepare to continue hoisting the 2nd load.

The shift that stayed up all night hadn't left yet, and was also helping first.

"We lack a chef on the boat, such good fish, must be cooked well..."

"When I go back, I'll learn two tricks from Fatty."

"Then it's better to let him send a nephew to work on the boat, who can help and cook, hahaha..."

"Good idea, makes sense." Ye Yaodong really thinks this idea is good.

When he goes back, he will ask Fatty to see if he has any nephews who can cook and need employment; the treatment on his boat is actually quite good; this year, he raised the salary of this boat to 90 a month.

Not worse than those master chefs in restaurants; it's just not that easy on the boat, but beginners should be happy with so much.

If it doesn't work, then the ingredients he takes back must be cleaned up by Fatty and processed.

Can the things made by a cook be the same as those made by ordinary people? Just happen to call a few friends to drink and gather.

"Oh, there's tuna, saw it..."

Ye Yaodong looked up, that load of cargo was still bigeye tuna.

Generally, bigeye tuna is the most common in the East China Sea; wanting to encounter other tuna, unless there are special circumstances, or good luck.

There are three or four tuna in this net again, the size is not small, he just took a casual look and knew it was probably 150~200 jin.

They had already been dragged out by the workers first, dragged to the side, and lined up to bleed.

He also helped drag one, and by the way, bled it himself.

This kind of deep-sea fish wants the meat quality not to turn sour, and must be bled at the first time when dragged up.

In case it dies in the sea for too long, and it is too slow to drag up, then it is too late to bleed.

Actually, there is no need to bleed all deep-sea fish, because the process of bleeding also requires labor consumption; the most critical thing is to look at their use.

Those that need to be bled are generally fish of relatively high quality; because their value is relatively large, they can usually be used for sashimi, which will become a relatively high-end consumer product.

Of course, the money earned is relatively large, and wanting to earn back the labor consumed by bleeding is also a very easy thing.

Bleeding also makes it easier to preserve, and can also be transported long distances, so it can be sold to farther places.

Without bleeding, even if it is frozen, it will also damage the quality of the fish, and the blood will also provide nutrients for microorganisms such as bacteria, making the fish rot faster.

This net also has many red squid; these big red squid are also the rations of tuna.

Among the several bigeye tuna dragged up, there was one with a big red squid stuck in its mouth, the body had entered, and the tentacles were still exposed outside the mouth; the tuna looked like it choked to death, with round eyes.

There are also many horsehead fish, pollock, shrimp, red shrimp, prawns, big swallow pomfret, as well as amber fish, red snapper, and other rare and valuable fish in the fishing net, mostly red-colored.

After dragging out the tuna and triggerfish, looking at the fish hold cover, it was all red, looking exceptionally festive.

The workers were already sorting them skillfully.

After Ye Yaodong helped bleed all the tuna, he was also sorting, seeing if there were any good goods.

"Hey, there's another hawksbill grouper..."

He picked a spotted one from a pile of fish cargo.

The head, body, and fins are light-colored, and the body is densely covered with round to hexagonal dark spots, and the narrow space between the spots forms a reticulated pattern, just like polka dots.

"Grouper, this fish is expensive, what a pity it's dead."

"It's not easy to have live ones when trawling, it's not bad."

After he picked up the fish tail and looked at it back and forth, he threw it aside, and let the workers put it together with other valuable fish later.

This kind of grouper is not in a group; they have a strong sense of territory, and they are caught occasionally.

Ye Yaodong first swept the remaining goods picked by everyone into the basket.

These are useless, some are not small, two or three jin, but they are not worth money, the number of crabs is the largest, still alive and crawling around, too wasteful.

After sweeping a basket full, he picked it up, walked to the side of the boat, tilted the fish basket, and dumped them all back.

A pile of seabirds dived down, some even drilled into his basket, and then were smashed into the sea together with the fish cargo, then fluttered and disappeared, left behind the fishing boat on the water surface.

"Stupid bird!"

Suddenly, a big fish appeared under the water surface, stretched out a looming fish head, and then sucked the fish cargo he dumped into the sea together with the seawater.

The surrounding sea surface produced a siphon effect, making his mouth open together.

"Damn, shark."

A basket of cargo was dumped, and that fish was gone.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly had to sweep the remaining goods picked by everyone into the basket again, and continuously carried three baskets to the side of the boat.

He looked at the sea surface, watching the white flowers rolling behind the fishing boat; it is estimated that those big fish were all behind the stern of the boat.

This guess, he also has reasons.

When the propeller is operating, it will make the oxygen content of the surrounding water extremely rich, which can attract fish schools.

Some small fish will be accidentally crushed by the propeller, emitting a huge fishy smell in the water.

This will attract many big fish to come and prey, and the big fish that prey will also be easily injured by the propeller.

He continued to pick up the basket at his feet and dump it into the sea; before one basket was dumped, there were many more dolphins appearing on the side of the boat.

One of them still had wave-like patterns on its body; this was hit by the propeller, all because of greed.

And there were many seabirds gathered beside him, some brazenly diving into the basket at his feet to peck.

Don't talk about the basket at his feet; on the fish hold cover, workers were sorting there, and there were seabirds that were bold enough to dive down and snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

Workers with quick eyes and hands could still slap them.

Ye Yaodong kept repeating the dumping, until it was all dumped, then went here to help a little, and there to lend a hand.

The workers who stayed up all night helped after hoisting half the cargo, but he was still there.

After all the cargo was hoisted, it was time to release the net again and continue operating, he watched to see if there would be any mistakes.

The net hauling just now was no problem, now if the net releasing also has no problem, he can basically go to rest.

He stayed on the deck all the time, and also knew that this net hauled nearly 30,000 jin, but only left less than 20,000 jin.

This is still because those big-bodied fish like tuna, triggerfish, and mahi-mahi fish occupy the quantity, so there is so much left.

Otherwise, this net might only have 10,000+ jin.

It's not small, it hasn't been 24 hours since going out yesterday, and 110,000 jin have been caught.

After eating breakfast, he looked at his watch, it was past 7:00, almost 8:00, the bright sun was hanging in the sky, making him warm and cold again.

The fishing net at the stern of the boat was like a long snake, slowly drilling to the bottom of the water, until it disappeared, and only then did he climb up to the wheelhouse and greet his cousin.

"Cousin, how is it? Any feeling of not understanding anywhere? Not smooth? Any doubts?"

"Just this sonar detection, and the various small dots on the screen, tell me again..."

"Okay..."

Ye Yaodong told him about these technological things again, and after confirming that he remembered them all, he went to the cabin behind the wheelhouse to sleep.

It is far from the engine below, the noise is slightly smaller, and he stuffed a bit of cotton in his ears, feeling even more comfortable.

Anyway, as long as there is something, knock on the cabin door heavily, and he will naturally hear it, and can also control it in time, so as not to make mistakes.

He took off his clothes, pants, and shoes, shrunk his smelly feet into the quilt, couldn't smell any smell, and fell asleep in seconds.

He couldn't smell his own foot odor anyway.

Ye Yaodong woke up until lunch time, and the workers on the deck were all up and working there.

Looking down from top to bottom, a pile of big squid was hung below; while sailing, the wind blew, and there was a smell of squid, looking half-dried.

It should be about the same tomorrow; now the weather is dry, it shrinks after air-drying for one night, and then it will be exposed to the sun during the day.

Cousin saw him standing on the wheelhouse and also came out of the wheelhouse.

"Dongzi, do you want to drive it?"

"Any problems in these few hours?"

"No, very smooth, actually it feels quite simple after learning."

"Right, it's not difficult originally, understand, it's simple after learning, when you don't know, what you see is all blind. You continue to stay inside, do more, get familiar, I'll go eat first."

"Good."

The tuna made in the morning had already been sliced, very roughly directly loaded in a basin, and the shadow of crushed ice could still be seen at the bottom.

The sauce was also adjusted, he dipped his chopsticks casually, sucked on the chopsticks, and added a little cooking wine and dried chili inside, no wasabi, just make do.

Seeing someone leaning over, reaching out and casually taking a piece of fish meat and stuffing it into his mouth, he asked.

"When was it sliced, is the rest in cold storage or freezer?"

"Just finished being busy earlier, sliced some while cooking, half-cut meat is in cold storage, wait until later to continue slicing, more than half of the rest is frozen, they said there are too many fish, definitely can't finish eating, and they are still thinking about the shredded squid being dried."

Ye Yaodong also turned his head and took a look, reached out and pinched, "Still early, the meat is too thick, have to dry for another day tomorrow."

"If you are in a hurry to eat, you should cut it into strips, so it dries faster, right? Such a big one, and hang it up to dry, isn't it not that fast?"

Worker scratched his head, "Too busy, few people at night, hehe, just do it as simply as possible, I'll go get scissors, cut it into strips and fork it."

"That's okay."

He smelled it at the tip of his nose again, the sea flavor is rich, it's just this taste.

"Brother Dong, you eat first."

"Well."

He ate tuna sashimi first, occasionally hadn't eaten it for a long time, and still missed this bite.

What's more, this was just caught, bled at the first time, and then kept fresh and sliced for sashimi.

Just looking at the fish meat, it is fresh, tender, and shiny, the meat quality is firm and tight, and it smells non-fishy.

It's hard to eat such fresh ones on the shore; basically, the meat quality is loose, the color is dull and lusterless, the taste is sour and tasteless, slightly fishy, and it's almost impossible to eat without dipping in wasabi soy sauce.

Now this entrance has a faint fresh sweetness, whether eaten directly or dipped in sauce, it has a unique flavor; he didn't eat less in the previous life on the boat.

But sashimi can't be eaten too much; after all, it's raw, so it must be appropriate; he just ate a few mouthfuls casually, mainly cooked food.

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, a big sea turtle we caught..."

"What sea turtle? When was it caught?"

"Just now, they saw a sea turtle following the fishing boat, so they tried to catch it, and really caught it."

"Let me see," Ye Yaodong walked over with his rice bowl, eating while walking.

The fishing boat was swaying while sailing, and he had already done it like a mountain while walking and eating.
