"Xiao, why don't you let us collect the crab pots?" Nikita asked Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng looked at Nikita: "Let you do something else, just collect the crab pots." Let me tell you this, during the crab season, on average, one person dies every seven days. More than eighty percent of the deaths and injuries on crab fishing boats occur during the crab pots, which is the most dangerous time. You think, such a heavy crab pot with the wind and waves shaking, if you are not careful, you can smash people to death. So you two better stay away. ”

Nikita pouted after hearing this: "Still look down on us, I think the other people on the ship are doing it easily!"

"Relaxed?" Xiao Peng pointed out the window: "A crab pot with a full harvest weighs about seven or eight hundred catties! Almost every crab catcher on the crab repair boat has injuries on his body when he returns home!"

"But you have to let us do some work, my dad said that he wants us to work like ordinary fishermen, isn't it!" It turned out to be Georgina, who was staring at Yang Meng when she spoke, what did this mean? Want to show it in front of Yang Meng? This woman's brain is really in the water?

After Xiao Peng thought about it, he took out two calipers and handed them to Nikita and Georgina: "You are responsible for the amount of calories, and throw the female crab and the small male crab back into the sea." Remember to bring gloves, these big pliers are no joke. Also, stay safe and stay away from the crab pots!"

The two girls walked out with calipers, and Yang Meng turned around and said, "Isn't it too dangerous to let them out? ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "What's wrong?

Yang Meng was anxious when he heard this: "Ahhhh You see, you see, they don't dare to take crabs. ”

Yang Meng's worries are not unreasonable, although crab fishing with crab pots is a traditional way of crab fishing, but with modern technology, the efficiency is still very fast, and a crab pot can be retracted from the bottom of the sea in eight minutes. And the most time-wasting thing is sorting.

In order to maintain sustainable development, for example, the Alaskan king crab and the Alaskan snow crab are only kept by large male crabs, while female crabs and male crabs that have not grown up are thrown back into the sea. In addition, different crabs should also be classified, there are not only snow crabs here, but also different crabs such as king crab and Dungeness crab, so all the crabs must be sorted before they can be put into the warehouse. This is the most time-wasting process when fishing for crabs.

Xiao Peng smiled: "I'm worried about a fart, it's not just the two of them who are doing it, others have done all the work, just let them experience life." Hurry up and sail to the next point where you will get off the crab pot. Finish early and hit the road early. By the way, I'm going to keep a few female crabs for us to eat by ourselves。。。。。。 ”

Fourteen hours later, in the ship's restaurant, Xiao Peng looked at Georgina with sympathy, where she was holding a garbage can and vomiting.

He kept saying that he didn't get seasick, but when he was working on the deck, he shook the boat and brought the fishy smell of the crabs he caught. Georgina couldn't hold it back, and vomited so badly.

Xiaoqiu came over with seasickness medicine and an orange: "After taking seasickness medicine and eating an orange, it can relieve a lot." ”

Nikita poured water for Georgina and said: "This seasickness is a problem of the vestibular nerve of the human body, just take medicine, why do you need to eat oranges?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Xiaoqiu, Nikita is right in this, seasickness is a neurological problem, and eating fruit is useless, it is just a psychological effect." ”

When Xiaoqiu heard this, he pouted: "I don't know the hearts of good people, you don't eat me." ”

Xiao Peng laughed and took an orange from the side: "Who said not to eat it, this orange is a good thing, I don't know how many people were saved back then." Nikita, Georgina, I advise you to eat more oranges, which are good for sailing. ”

Nikita asked curiously, "What's the benefit?"

Xiao Peng explained: "In ancient times, in the Western navigation industry, due to the relatively backward navigation technology, the ships sailed for a long time, and there was no way to store fresh ingredients, so it was easy to develop scurvy------ not sepsis. This scurvy is also known as vitamin C deficiency. To date, at least a few million Western navigators have died of this disease. For example, in 1740, British Admiral George Anson led a huge fleet of more than 2,000 sailors around the world, only to return with only one ship left, and a little crew left, almost all of whom died of scurvy, and those who came back alive were also scurvy patients. When Magellan traveled around the world, most of his crew also died of scurvy. Only eighteen people survived in a fleet of more than two hundred。。。。。。 ”

"At that time, the navigators were really in a hurry to treat the scurvy, some people saw that the rats on the ship were not affected by scurvy, and they thought that the rats had a cure for scurvy, so the rats on the ship could be sold for sky-high prices, and some people bathed with fish blood, some people chose to release the blood in their bodies, some people chose to drink honey, some people held various religious ceremonies to ward off diseases, some people thought that the air in the cabin was not fresh, and slept on the deck every day, and some people chose to drink heavily. Anyway, I came up with all kinds of ways to fight this scurvy. ”

"Wait a minute? Isn't that self-defeating?" asked Nikita.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Believe me, among the many treatments I just mentioned, there is really alcoholism that is the best treatment." You watched the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean"? The pirates in it drink rum every day, and this rum is fruit wine, so it's really good for curing scurvy. In fact, the treatment of scurvy is really very simple, as long as you properly supplement vitamin C and eat more vegetables and fruits, you can be cured. But because vegetables and fruits rotted very quickly at that time, the food of the Western fleet at that time was mainly bread and cured meat, so it was no wonder that there was no scurvy------ didn't you see that in the manga "One Piece", they all had to plant orange trees on the ship? Of course, it is much better now, the refrigeration technology is so good, and there is no fear of any vegetables and fruits**, and the speed of the ship is also fast, so there will not be so many people killed by scurvy like in ancient times. ”

Nikita took the orange in his hand and observed it for a long time, and suddenly found a question: "Wait a minute! You just said that the Western navigation industry? As far as I know, your country has also had voyages, and since the Sui Dynasty, there has been the so-called 'Maritime Silk Road', haven't you been plagued by scurvy?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "First of all, I will correct you, this 'Maritime Silk Road' actually existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, when we had an ancient country called the Seven Kingdoms, and the Qi State had a king called Qi Huangong, known as one of the 'Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons' at that time, and he opened up a 'golden waterway' on the Jiaodong Peninsula during his reign, including the current Liaodong Peninsula, the Wa Kingdom, and Southeast Asia. Later, the maritime trade of the Qin Dynasty was mainly the maritime trade between the Qin Dynasty and the Nanyue Kingdom, which is the Liangguang and Hainan Island of our China today, so it is not considered to be ocean-bound, and when it came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the 'Maritime Silk Road' of China began to go to the ocean, and the Western Han Dynasty was as far as Sri Lanka, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it went directly to the third place in India. Therefore, the development of maritime trade in our country is faster than you can imagine。。。。。。。 But one thing you are really right, no matter what the period, our Chinese ocean-going fleet has never been plagued by scurvy. ”

"Why is that?" Georgina, who was on the side, was also curious after hearing this, and at this time she didn't vomit anymore, and asked Xiao Peng curiously.

Xiao Peng said with a relaxed face: "Who made us Chinese people eat it since ancient times? Fresh vegetables are easy to spoil? It doesn't matter! We pickle pickles; and what is the most popular in China's export trade besides porcelain? Tea leaves! Tea is rich in vitamin C! Oh, and most importantly, we Chinese people are smart, our ancestors can conjure fresh vegetables on the boat!"

"Conjure up fresh vegetables?" Nikita's eyes widened. 、

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, beans are easy to store, right? Bring more beans, and if you don't have vegetables, you can eat bean sprouts directly, not to mention the taste, and you can also supplement vitamins." Therefore, the scurvy that gives the entire Western navigation industry a headache is not a problem for us in China!"

After hearing this, Nikita suddenly seemed to remember something: "Xiao, you are not right to say that, corn and potatoes are also rich in vitamin C, and this corn was discovered and popularized by Columbus in 1492. About a hundred years later, the potato was also discovered and popularized in South America, which should be a good ingredient for curing scurvy, right? And it is also easy to store, why is the West still plagued by scurvy?"

Xiao Peng laughed out loud when he heard this: "Who made you Westerners arrogant? In the eyes of the people at that time, these corn and potatoes were native to the Americas, and these things could only be used as fodder and food for slaves, so they didn't eat these things at all." Let's even say that in 1747, James Lind, the founder of British hygiene, discovered a cure for scurvy and published the famous paper "On Scurvy", but the arrogant Westerners did not believe that he ------ that the terminal illness that killed millions of people could be solved by a few oranges? It was not until 1912 that the emergence of vitamin C completely defeated scurvy. Now look at it, a few oranges, a few handfuls of soybeans, a few corn, and a few potatoes can solve the disease, but it has become a problem in the West for more than ten centuries, should I say that Westerners are obsessed with arrogance or that Westerners are stupid?"

Nikita pursed her lips after hearing this: "Xiao, why do you still have a gun and a stick when you speak? My sister and I are what you call 'Westerners'!"

Xiao Peng pouted at Georgina: "Isn't Georgina arrogant?"

Georgina still wanted to refute, but she vomited too much, and her eyes suddenly rolled: "Xiao, they all say that you Chinese people can eat, so can you use this orange to make a delicious dish?"

Xiao Pengle said: "Calling the board, yes, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, let you open your eyes!"
