Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 86 Whale Fall
November [-]th, sunny with light fog.

"Mazu bless you!" Ah Jiu bowed in the direction of Tin Hau Temple.

He had gone to worship Mazu before. How could someone who was going to sea not worship Mazu?Although he had not had this belief before, he followed the Romans as they did.

The fishing boat sets off.

Everyone on the boat is full of expectations, hoping to return home with a full load.If you're lucky, you can make more than a million in one go. It's a bit boring, but you can make money quickly!Everyone can tolerate it.

Zhang Yaowei blew the whistle.

"Here, eat watermelon." Ah Hui cut the watermelon.

"Ah! You want to eat watermelon so early in the morning? No."

Ah Jiu waved his hand, he was tired of eating watermelon.It would be fine if it was a unicorn melon, but this kind of watermelon has a lot of seeds, so I'm not interested in it.Next to his house, I don't know who dropped a few seeds. Many of them grew, but they were too lazy to pick them.

Zhang Yaowei: "Don't forget it, it's three yuan a pound!"

"Huh? Three yuan a pound? Our price is three yuan a piece."

"How can this be compared? This is the place of production. If you want to do this, we have to compare the seafood." Shui Wang said.

Soon after, the light fog dispersed, and the wind became warm and sunny.

Looking at the endless sea, Ah Jiu suddenly sighed: "The sea is so big."

The others were speechless.

Isn't this nonsense?Moaning for no reason.

"It looks like it won't rain today." He added that the weather forecast said there would be light rain today.

"It would be best if it doesn't rain!"

In fact, for fishermen, rain is nothing. What they are really afraid of is the wind.Wind and waves are much scarier than heavy rain.Even if they are now on this medium-sized fishing boat, they have to stop cooking when encountering strong winds and waves. The Sea Dragon King invited them to have tea.

However, not long.

"Damn it! Is your mouth poisonous?" Shui Wang looked at Ah Jiu.

They saw a gust of rain approaching them quickly from a distance, and it seemed to be quite heavy.

"What? What does it have to do with me? I just said it wouldn't rain, and the weather forecast said it would rain. It seems the weather forecast is accurate." Ah Jiu doesn't take the blame.

After a burst of rain, the sky became bluer.

At noon, Ah Jiu was responsible for making food.Among them, he has the best cooking skills.A big ship is good, it has a dedicated kitchen and the space is quite small.

"Isn't there pork? Eat seafood?" Shui Wang and others looked at it and didn't understand.

Ah Jiu said plausibly: "If there is seafood, why should we eat pork?"

Everyone: "..."

"You'll understand later." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.

For people who go to sea, they will get tired of eating seafood every meal.Not to mention seafood, you will get tired of eating dragon meat every time.

It's just like the thing between men and women. You look at the same woman every night. No matter how good-looking she is, there will always be a day when she loses sexual interest and always wants to try something else.

It's not a question of whether it's pretty or not.

"Okay, you don't cook either, and you talk so much nonsense after I cook it." Ah Hui said something for Ah Jiu.In the afternoon, a dead whale on the sea attracted everyone's attention.All around, a group of sharks were eating whale meat.The death of a whale can support many marine life.

This reminds everyone of a word - whale fall.

Of course, the scene before us cannot be considered a real whale fall.

Whale fall refers to the phenomenon of whales sinking to the bottom of the sea after death. It is the entire process of whales from death to final decomposition.

It is said that a whale carcass can support a decomposer-based circulatory system for hundreds of years.Together with hydrothermal fluids and cold springs, it is known as the "oasis" of deep-sea life.

The most we can see is that whales die. They are first eaten by marine creatures like great white sharks, and their bodies are broken into pieces and gradually sink to the bottom of the sea.Then, the remaining meat is eaten by other sea fish, crabs, shellfish, etc.

Do you think this is over?

Wrong, its most important part is to provide nutrients for microorganisms on the seabed. Skeletons still play an important role.

"Is whale meat delicious?" Ah Jiu asked.

"Although I haven't eaten it, it probably doesn't taste good and has a lot of fat." Zhang Yaowei responded.

The older generation may have eaten it. At that time, we also had whalers in our country, but not many.

"It's not delicious? Then why do the Japanese like to hunt whales so much? They don't even care about international public opinion." Ah Jiu was confused.The island country is not poor. It stands to reason that since seafood is not precious, there is no need for them to hunt whales under the pressure of public opinion, right?
Zhang Yaohua: "You don't have to kill them to eat! Whales still have value, such as whale oil."

Whale oil is the main raw material for lubricating oil.

In addition, whales are full of treasures and have important economic value.Its body provides people with a large amount of whale meat, whale oil and other products. A blue whale of about 100 tons is worth US$10000.

Whale meat accounts for about half of the whale's weight. In addition to being ground into coarse powder for feed or fertilizer, it can also be eaten by humans after processing and is rich in protein.

In fact, not only the devils in the island countries are killing whales rampantly, but Western countries such as Norway are also killing large numbers of whales.

It even calls itself a developed country!This is how we plunder ocean resources.

Ah Hui also said: "We don't like to eat it, but the Japanese may not like it. Maybe they have a special taste! Just like saury."

Saury has a high status in the hearts of islanders. It can be called a national treasure fish. It is a must-have for many islanders, just like the kimchi at Bangzi’s family.

Statistics show that the number of saury consumed by the islanders every year is about 4 million tons. Of the saury consumed globally, the islanders eat [-]%.

It can be seen how important saury is to them.

Their research found that saury is particularly good for brain development, so islanders call it brain gold and often eat it to nourish the brain.Of course, we don’t know whether this is true.

In our country, not many people really like to eat saury. As a sea fish, saury has so many spines, which is really rare.Moreover, its fishy smell is a bit strong, and so much cumin sprinkled on the barbecue cannot cover up its fishy smell.

To be honest, Zhang Yaohua and others really don’t like eating saury.

Zhang Yaohua smiled and said: "That's true, saury is our national fish, and it's very expensive."

Yes!The saury that costs more than 10 yuan per catty here can sometimes be sold for more than 5000 yen in island countries, and even sells for over [-] yen per catty, which is almost [-] yuan in RMB!

Saury is also expensive in our country, but saury is an exception.For example, the Yangtze saury is said to cost several thousand yuan per pound, and you may not be able to eat it yet.

"If we catch a boat and sell it to the island country, wouldn't we make a fortune?" Ah Jiu couldn't help but say.

"You think too simply. Selling seafood to other countries is not that easy."

Besides, other countries have certain import controls on imported seafood.The Japanese devils are still trying every possible means to export seafood to our country!
