Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 36
Just arrived at the place, before Zhang Yaohua gave the order.

On the other side of Shuiwang, the nets were hurriedly lowered because they saw a school of fish, hairtail fish.

"Damn it! Brother Hua has to lead the way, there are so many hairtail fish."

Ah Hui glared at him: "Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly."

These hairtail fish are almost [-] centimeters long. Their swimming ability is poor. They float in the middle layer of the sea during the day and sink to the bottom of the sea at night.Because of this, they can now see schools of fish with fish.

Hairtail hairtail in my country can be divided into two categories: southern and northern.

Northern hairtails are larger in size than southern hairtails. They overwinter in the southern part of the Yellow Sea and swim to the Bohai Sea in spring, forming a spring fish flood. In autumn, they return to their wintering grounds in groups to form an autumn fish flood.

The southern hairtail fish moves north-south along the western edge of the East China Sea every year depending on the season. It migrates north for reproduction in spring and migrates south for overwintering in winter.

The brothers felt that if they worked hard today, they should be able to fill a boat.

Although the price of hairtail is not high, with the recent landing price being about 15 yuan, the advantage lies in the large quantity.

Even though their ship is not big, it can weigh seven or eight thousand pounds if it is full.

As long as they catch [-]% of the hairtail fish in front of them, they will probably be able to return home with a full harvest.

The two brothers Zhang Yaohua are also busy.

"Put the net deeper." Zhang Yaohua said to his second brother.

Zhang Yaowei reminded: "Brother, if you lower it further, you may not be able to catch the hairtail."

"I think this is more than just hairtail, listen to me."

What Zhang Yaohua is interested in is not the hairtail fish, but the puffer fish further down.

Zhang Yaowei chose to trust his elder brother, no longer asked any questions, and just did as he was told.

During this period, Shui Wang and Ah Hui were chasing the hairtail, and the boat gradually moved away.

After more than 10 minutes, Zhang Yaowei closed the net.He was actually feeling uneasy because the hairtail school had gone far away and it was difficult to predict the harvest of his net.

If it doesn't work, wait and turn on full power to catch up with the hairtail school.

To his surprise, what he received was a large bag, weighing more than 400 kilograms.Through the fishing net, he had already seen the seafood inside.

It turned out to be a puffer fish.

This is much more expensive than hairtail.

When it comes to pufferfish, everyone's first impression is that they are cute, especially when they are frightened or angry, they will bulge themselves into a ball, giving them a perfect image of a doormat.

The reason for this is that part of the pufferfish's stomach forms a special bag, generally called an expansion sac or air sac, which can inhale water and air. Coupled with the lack of rib restraint and the strong contractility of the skin, it can expand the abdomen. .

The second impression is that it is poisonous. The meat of puffer fish is tender and delicious. There have been sayings that "eating puffer fish will not taste fresh" and "eat puffer fish to the death".

People who lack experience in cooking puffer fish should never eat it. Deaths from puffer poisoning are common at home and abroad. Even in the days when puffer fish was more experienced, hundreds of people died every year.

"It's a puffer fish, it's about to happen again." Zhang Yaowei said excitedly.

It can be predicted that after the two fishing boats merge, Shui Wang will definitely regret it, losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds.

"Keep going around here a few times."

Zhang Yaowei knew what to do without his elder brother's orders.

Zhang Yaowei quickly poured the puffer fish in the net onto the board of the boat and continued to lower the net.

Zhang Yaohua picked up the pufferfish and threw them back into the sea if they were too small.

Shui Wang, who was running away, suddenly looked back and scratched his hair: "Hey! Why don't Brother Hua and the others follow? Is the boat broken?"

He wanted to go back and ask, but he was reluctant to do so when he saw the group of hairtails still escaping.

"Then let's get more and give some to Ah Hua and the others." Ah Hui said.

You can't let your friends go back with an empty ship.

Shui Wang nodded: "Okay!"

As a result, they worked harder to chase the hairtail school. "My shipowner treated us to pufferfish once before, and it tasted really good. When we get back, we'll have a meal too." Zhang Yaowei picked up a pufferfish at his feet and laughed so hard that his mouth almost split to the base of his ears.

The price of puffer fish is generally more than 35 yuan and less than 100 yuan.

The probability of catching pufferfish here is low, so Zhang Yaowei doesn't know what the recent market price is.A month ago, the price was 73 yuan per catty at Fisherman's Wharf in the town.

"Just eat it by yourself! If it's not handled well, the whole family will have to go see the King of Hell." Zhang Yaohua didn't want to take such a big risk just for some food.

The main reason is that I have never dealt with pufferfish at home, so I am not professional and can easily get into trouble.

Although he had heard that the poison of pufferfish was basically concentrated in various internal organs, and he only needed to clean the internal organs, but that was just a hearsay.

"The pufferfish in this season should be fine. The pufferfish in spring are poisonous," Zhang Yaowei said.

Zhang Yaohua naturally knows this.

The most poisonous part of puffer fish is the ovary. Spring is the spawning season of puffer fish, so you must be careful when eating puffer fish in spring.

In spring, puffer fish can be caught at the mouths of large rivers without having to go to the sea.At that time, puffer fish basically migrated to lay eggs.

That’s why it’s called puffer fish.

In autumn and winter, puffer fish generally return to the depths of the ocean, especially to tropical and subtropical waters.

Pufferfish are also afraid of cold.

"Don't take that risk. This is a wild puffer fish, not a farmed one." Zhang Yaohua still shook his head.

If you really want to eat, it would be safer to go to a professional restaurant outside.

Nowadays, puffer fish are also artificially bred, and they are not that toxic.

When Zhang Yaohua and his two brothers caught more than 4000 kilograms of puffer fish, Shui Wang and the others finally brought back a boat full of hairtail fish to meet up. Looking at their expressions, you could tell that the harvest was huge.

"Brother Hua, what happened to your boat?" Shui Wang asked.

"What's going on? It's okay!" Zhang Yaowei asked.

Ah Hui observed carefully and saw that the draft of Zhang Yaohua's ship had obviously become deeper.

Shui Wang was confused: "Is everything okay? Then why don't you chase the hairtail fish? My brother and I thought your boat was broken down, so we caught more and shared some with you."

Zhang Yaowei waved his hand: "No need, we will gain even more."

There are pufferfish, but who would like the three melons and two dates of hairtail?

Shui Wang was surprised.

"What harvest?"

"It's nothing! Just some pufferfish." Zhang Yaowei Versailles replied.

"Pufferfish? How many pufferfish can there be?" Shui Wang disagreed.

Although pufferfish are also a gregarious seafood, the groups are usually not too large and not concentrated enough, so it is almost impossible to catch a lot.

It is normal to catch more than ten kilograms or even dozens of kilograms occasionally, but it is not common to catch more than ten kilograms.

"Not much, probably about four thousand kilograms!"

As soon as these words came out, the Shui Wang brothers were stunned on the spot.

After a while, Shui Wang made a habit of yelling: "F*ck! A four-thousand-pound puffer fish? Are you serious?"

Zhang Yaohua smiled and said nothing, quietly watching his second brother show off.

Zhang Yaowei spread his hands: "How about you come over and take a look yourself."

Shui Wang didn't believe in evil. He stepped across another fishing boat and went to the cabin to see that his eyes would pop out of his head. They were all puffer fish.

"Damn it! Why didn't you call me?" He felt remorseful and beat his chest.

"I also want to call you, but you are too far away. How can I notify you? There is no signal on the mobile phone."
