Chapter 100: The Crab Boat
The big yellow croaker that Gu Kun caught quickly passed the scale, and sure enough, it was 16 catties.
Everyone was amazed, and then immediately prepared to kill fish and stew soup, which did not look like going out to sea to fish, but like a picnic outing.
At the price of 95 years, if this fish can be raised well for a few more days, it can be sold for 20,000 yuan on the shore.
However, Gu Kun used a harpoon simply and rudely when he fished, and he was directly stabbed half to death, and he couldn't raise it, and he was not short of 20,000 yuan, so he accompanied his classmates to have a good time, and ate it.
He didn't plan to let everyone know the market immediately, so as not to have a psychological burden, and he would not be happy when eating.
After the big fish was fished away, Gu Kun waved his hand and instructed Long Wu to arrange for the net to be collected and get up the hundreds of catties of fish that were left nearby.
After just 20 minutes, the girls in the class stewed yellow croaker in pickled cabbage soup, as well as a few other freshly caught seafood dishes, and feasted on them.
Chuanshan is a famous fishing ground in the East China Sea, and the seafood here is also more attractive to college students who usually study in Hujiang, because it is not so fresh on the shore.
More than ten catties of large yellow croaker to make soup;
Three or four catties of pike crabs and blue crabs are boiled directly;
Half of the squid is fried and half of it is used for sashimi.
", it's so delicious, what's this, is this a hairtail? Is the hairtail we usually eat painted? And what kind of hook do you have, I don't think you need to re-bait, it's all constantly hooked up from the sea to bring fish, God." ”
Huang Han and his girlfriend were frying the hairtail while watching Gu Kun cut the sashimi there, so they couldn't help but try a piece of it raw, and the result was like opening the door to a new world.
"Is it really okay? can you really eat raw hairtail?" Zhou Yaoguang was a little stunned, lest he get some parasitic disease.
"Whatever, this raw mustard soy sauce is really amazing, you try it, you won't regret it. Huang Han, who had already eaten so much that he couldn't speak, showed up to say the truth, and soon made other people come to grab the raw fish like crazy.
Tang Jia also ate a piece, and was amazed, feeling that the taste was extremely sweet. He was still holding the hairtail fish in his hand, and his hand was full of fishy smell, so he poked Gu Kun with his elbow: "Tell me, how to catch it, why it can be eaten raw, it's amazing." ”
Gu Kun replied casually while cutting the sashimi: "The hairtail fish is a deep-sea fish, as long as it is fresh enough, there are no parasites, in this book, the pure silver hairtail sashimi that is served within 48 hours after catching is more expensive than the top Arctic Norwegian salmon and alfonsino sashimi, but unfortunately this thing is not fresh in the normal environment."
Because it lives at least two to three hundred meters below, it is necessary to use a 300-meter long line to fish for squid. It is phototaxis like other deep-sea fish, so it can be used without bait. A person with a good level can lure a fish to the bait just by relying on the light on the squid fishing hook.
However, this is a bit overkill, the light squid fishing hook is only used in the deep sea, and the maximum water depth here is not more than three or four hundred meters, and the bottom trawl of the seabed can also catch hairtail. I'm here for everyone to have fun, so that you can see all kinds of things. ”
was chatting here, and a girl next to her who was in charge of stewing yellow croaker soup beckoned everyone to eat: "The fish soup is stewed, everyone eat it while it's hot." ”
This girl's name is Bai Ling, and she is also in Gu Kun's class, and her face is not ugly, but her figure is a little tiger-backed. This time, she brought her boyfriend with her to the ship for an internship and vacation.
Her boyfriend's name is Hu Jin, the school is worse than her, it is Hujiang Maritime University, but he is very handsome, and he is also a senior year above her, and he is about to graduate.
Hujiang Maritime is the second professional school in China, and its position in the industry is second only to Lushun Maritime in Northeast China.
Gu Kun saw that Hu Jin was also a peer, so he could also chat with the other party.
At that time, Gu Kun asked in private half-jokingly how Hu Jin and Bai Ling met and how they got together.
Hu Jin's answer really made him a little crying and laughing: "Let's miss the maritime industry, what's the use of a wife being pretty? Running outside all year round, I don't feel at ease when I'm beautiful!"
Yes, he also plans to hunt wild food for his family all over the world.
It's very conscious, maybe it's a captain's material in the future, but it still needs a few more years of polishing.
After Bai Ling and Hu Jin made fish soup and served a bowl to everyone, there were still a lot of them, Bai Ling felt that it was a pity to let it cool, so she took the initiative to suggest: "Gu Kun, why don't you let the crew rest first, drink a bowl of yellow croaker soup and eat before drying." ”
It is the nature of women to hope that the food they cook can be appreciated and eaten up, and not wasted. Otherwise, it's easy to get frustrated.
However, Gu Kun explained: "They are at sea all year round, and seafood is not rare at all. The net was just closed, and the fish had to be frozen before they could be stopped. ”
Bai Ling was a little discouraged: "Why bother like the capitalists, let's go to kill fish and freeze them with the workers after drinking the soup, anyway, we are also here to experience life, and after working for a few days, we should open our eyes and not be tired." ”
After finishing speaking, Bai Ling didn't eat much well, hastily pulled some of it, and went to help deal with the frozen fish in a hurry.
On the contrary, Hu Jin, who is already in his fourth year, has more social experience, and explained with a smile to Gu Kun: "She is like this, more idealistic." Mr. Gu, don't mind, I did an internship on the ship, and you are already very lenient with your subordinates here, and other captains are called ruthless. ”
"That being said, but since we are busy with work, we should also take a hand, how can we let their workers work, we just eat, drink and watch. Tang Jia proposed, and took the lead in going to Gao Jianxiong, who was directing the work, to take a hand.
Huang Han and Zhou Yaoguang naturally followed.
Because it was the first time for everyone to do it, it was very fresh, so even if the muscles were a little tired, the brain didn't feel tired, as if it was playing.
With nearly ten more helpers, the ship's harvest processing was quickly completed.
Tang Jia and Bai Ling, these girls, felt very satisfied in their hearts, and looked at the sea one by one and sighed: "Looking at it this way, the life of fishermen is really chic, although sometimes a little tired, but every day you can watch the beautiful scenery and eat seafood." If the boss was a little more generous, it would be perfect. ”
Gao Jianxiong and Hu Jin, experienced people, immediately looked a little unnatural, and felt that the girls were talking nonsense with no social experience at all, and gave Gu Kun a look.
Gu Kun smiled: "Gu Youming's training: the car and ship shop is not guilty, and it should be killed, do you really think that the world at sea is so warm and affectionate? I am already the most benevolent boss, under normal circumstances, the crew works up to 16 hours a day, and the especially busy days do not exceed 18 hours."
And the basic salary I calculated for them was calculated according to 12 hours a day, and I was paid extra for overtime. It's all because catching seafood isn't my main source of income anymore, and I can't afford to treat my men badly - but do you know what my peers do?"
Tang Jia's heart sank slightly when he heard this, and he quickly put away his previous attitude and humbly asked for advice: "Is there anything darker?"
Gu Kun sneered: "Take our Southeast Asia as an example, Lan Fang is good, if it is the country that does not treat people as human beings the most, there are many fishermen who work 20~22 hours a day, and they may give you a bowl of rancid rice, even without a salary, you can't go to the mainland for the rest of your life, and the fishing boats only dock on the outlying islands to unload and barge."
In particular, the island of New Guinea in the southeast of India is poor, far from international trade routes, and bordered by the Arafura Sea to the south, across the sea from Australia. Most of the Australian seafood we usually see in high-end hotels are Arafura seafood, and they are not caught by the delicate Australian uncle, but by the Indian mud fishermen on the other side of the sea.
Since they cannot enslave the local Australians, and the high price of labor leads to no international competitiveness, the Australian tycoons are only responsible for the export and foreign trade of seafood, and directly purchase the goods from the hands of the slave owners of Indian mud, and then label them as Australian fishing and sell them to other countries to make a difference.
This is the same as when Apple's company in Oceania was reprimanded by the Union's sweatshop in Oceania, and they could outsource the industrial chain and never open a factory in Oceania. ”
Tang Jia and all his classmates were dumbfounded.
These inexperienced college students were brainwashed by Gu Kun for the first time.
Gu Kun returned to the captain's room compassionately, took a novel, handed it to Tang Jia, patted her on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"You're also a liberal arts student, you should read more than me, this is the "Crab Boat" by the great modern writer Kobayashi Takiji, have you seen it?"
"I haven't seen ......" Tang Jia was a little ashamed, his literary literacy was actually not as good as a foreign engineering student.
Gu Kun sighed: "Then you should really take a look, this was written by Kobayashi Duoxiji after the outbreak of the Great Depression in 29, and Mr. Lu Xun praised this book for the first time and recommended it to Huaxia." The helplessness at sea, Mr. Kobayashi saw it so thoroughly sixty years ago:
This is an industry of international competition, because the sea has no borders, and even if the fishermen of a country fight for their dignity and status, the results of the struggle will be greatly reduced because of the competition for international circulation.
If today, the fishermen of a country suddenly live with dignity. At this time, fishermen from the poorest countries in the world, with the least value of human life, will come to your sea to grab their jobs. For example, the boats that catch seafood in the South Pacific are not piloted by Australians, Chileans and Argentines. It may be the ship of the country with the lowest human life in the world, sailing across the ocean to the open sea of those countries, and the sweatfishing boats catch the goods, and then barge them to the fishing boats of the local countries to ship them legally.
Then, the fishermen of the rich countries who fought for the strictest will be directly unemployed, just like the Oceanic State trade unions, and the factories will be directly shut down. Even it is easier for foreign sweatboats to grab jobs than foreign sweatshops, because this is an industry with no entry barriers, and you don't need to invest in the early stage to open a factory, as long as your fishing boats can drive there, you can do this business.
In Kobayashi's book, it is written about a 1925 Hokkaido black fishing boat, which lured a group of landless peasants and unemployed workers to work as black laborers, and then continued north to Kamchatka and Sakhalin Island to fish for king crabs in Lucia. In the background of the book, Lucia was a former Soviet Union at that time, and it was a society that paid attention to the country.
Xiao Lin was obsessed with two black workers who were thrown into the sea because of resistance on a crab worker's boat, and was rescued by a former Soviet fishing boat, and then saw the dignified life of former Soviet fishermen. But Xiao Lin then turned his pen, and the resources of the former Su fishworkers were also plundered by the fishing boats. Then he agreed with Comrade Ulyanov's assertion: fishermen are the most in need of the world's songs, and their sufferings can only be improved if the suffering of fishermen in all countries of the world is brought to an end together, otherwise, the poor people in poorer and less humane countries will come to grab jobs. ”
The sea has no borders, and no one can be left alone.
You have to change the whole rule, unless you are the hegemon of the whole sea, and then you can talk about it.
After being baptized by Gu Kun, his classmates seemed to have suddenly matured a lot, and they no longer chattered on the boat.
Gaps, these are things that you can't learn in any class at a maritime university.
"Brother Gu is really very experienced, this industry is all from licking blood at sea. ”
