For a few hours, the mullet piled up in the cold storage on the fishing boat was at least tens of thousands of catties. Wei Hang discovered that the mullet resources in this area were so abundant. After this period of fishing, there is still a sea of fish outside the fishing boats, and the number has increased instead of decreasing.

"Go back first, make mullet roe tomorrow, and we'll continue in the evening. Wei Hang said to everyone.

Back at the dock, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and everyone hurried back to take a shower and sleep. Those marine fish are left in the cold storage of the fishing boat first, and there will be no problems. People go to sea for more than half a month, or even a month, and there is no problem with the harvest they get in the cold storage for so long, they just put it overnight, what can go wrong?

The next day, Wei Hang found the old village chief and asked him to help find a few people to help, both men and women. Men are mainly responsible for slaughtering the fish, removing the ovaries from the mullet's stomach intact, and women are responsible for drying them.

At the same time, it also conveys a message to everyone, whoever wants mullet should come and get it.

The old village chief did not postpone it, and immediately found seven or eight people, half male and half female. The male villagers are all old and can't do heavy work, but there is no problem in slaughtering fish. Moreover, these people are all experienced people, and they are quite familiar with work such as opening fish maw.

"Xiao Hang, what you want is for us to take this thing out completely, right?"

When a villager in his fifties finished speaking, he had already broken open the fish belly, and with his hand, he picked it in, and a thick cup filled with fish eggs was completely removed.

Wei Hang took it over and found that there was no damage at all, and the white membrane wrapped around the fish eggs was not damaged, so that the fish eggs inside were well preserved.

"That's right! ”

The other three men also knew what to do, and they worked hard one by one, but Wei Hang gave them a salary of 200 per day, and they couldn't slack off!

"When these are taken out, you first rinse them carefully and remove the collateral. Wei Hang said to several women.

These jobs are not stressful at all for the ingenious women, and they are even better than Weihang.

Daniel Zhang and others are responsible for drying the fish meat, which is different from the way the mullet roe is dried. Dried salted fish, of course, is exposed to the scorching sun. Mullet roe is first exposed to the sun, and then needs to be dried in the shade, which can be windy, but not directly exposed to the sun.

There are also many villagers who come over and take away one or two mullets with their ovaries removed, and use them as a dish at noon. Although Weihang did not limit the number of people who took it, it almost did not take more, and the reason was exactly what Weihang thought. People who are close to the sea do not need to hide so many fish to eat by themselves, there are many fresh ones on the sea.

"Don't play here, little ones, go. "The old village chief chased the children away.

Wei Hang paid for them to eat snacks at the commissary, and this time there were no more children to disturb them.

"With so many fish, it's been a busy day. ”

"Otherwise, I'll go find two more people to help!" Wei Hang suggested, looking at the mullets.

"Don't look for it anymore, a few of us are also free, although we don't have any skills, but we still have our hands on slaughtering fish. Fang Zhen said.

It doesn't take so many people to dry some dried fish. With so much fish and meat, they were also a little distressed, and finally found that once there were more things, it would be troublesome. If they are allowed to go home, not to mention the effort it will take, I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to get the family back, right?

Wei Hang comforted them, and if they got it back, they could share it with some villagers!

There are many people who are easy to do, and after Fang Zhen and them joined, the progress was indeed a lot faster.

"Picked all right?" Wei Hang asked.

"It's not very difficult to separate male and female fish, how can you delay a lot of time?" Uncle Cheng said with a smile.

It is common sense that males do not have eggs, so the first step is to separate the females for processing, while the males are put into foam boxes, iced, salted, sealed, and transported to Huang Lisheng.

The female mullet takes out its ovaries after opening its belly, rinses it clean, dehydrates it with salt stains to remove the fish, and then goes through the process of exposure and shade drying.

The processing procedure seems simple, but the actual operation is not easy, the amount of salt will be salty and bitter if it is too much, and it is not good if it is too little; the control of exposure and shade drying is all based on experience, and the pressure is firm, hard enough to be dry enough to be delicious, and not dry enough to be easy to mold and deteriorate.

"Tsk! Fish eggs can still do this, I have seen it for a long time. A villager watching was amazed.

Others feel the same freshness, and when they catch this fish before, they usually throw away so many eggs when they find them. Now it seems that this is the real treasure, and it used to be eyeless.

Knowing that Weihang had caught a lot of mullet and was about to make mullet roe, Lao Hu hurriedly booked it and wanted to swallow Weihang's batch of goods in one bite. However, when Gu Yanji and Zhao Wenchang heard the news, they also said on the spot that they would buy at a high price.

Wei Hang secretly regretted in his heart: It's a pity that it's not a mullet from the winter solstice, and the eggs of the female are not plump, and the mullet roe produced is not top-notch.

"Village chief, why don't you take a strip and go back to steam?" Wei Hang said with a smile.

"It's okay, you have so much, so I won't be polite to you, and it's good to try it. The old village chief said with a smile.

His little granddaughter took Belle's hand and walked over, the two girls were about the same age, and they were good sisters in the village. Just now, the two of them went to Wei Hang's house to find their mother, and Wei Lan took them to look through the refrigerator again.

"Grandpa, I'll give you a bite of ice cream, it's delicious. The village chief's little granddaughter took out the ice cream to share.

The old village chief smiled: "Are you going to your Uncle Wei's house again? ”

"Hangzi, if we catch this kind of fish too, do you want it?" a villager suddenly asked.

Wei Hang subconsciously replied: "Yes, it is better to be a female fish, or this thing." ”

He pointed to the ovaries of the mullet that had been dealt with, and the fish body was also troublesome to him, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so it was best for the villagers to digest the fish body themselves. He didn't have the relevant factory machinery, otherwise he could have made canned fish or something. In addition, the economy here is not developed, and there are few restaurants, otherwise they can be sold to low-end restaurants, restaurants, food stalls, etc.

"Well, let's try tonight, if there is no moon, it will not be difficult to catch this fish. The villager spoke.

The mullet has the characteristics of phototaxis, in the dark night without the moon, at low tide, it is located in the harbor to set up an electric lamp, lure the mullet fry to swim to the light, and then use the fixed fry net that is placed in advance to catch the mullet, this method to trap the mullet fry not only catches a large amount, the cost is low, and the labor cost is less.

In the past, this method could catch a lot, but now there are many fewer fish resources in Fisherman's Bay, and I don't know how effective it is.

The others were also moved, and they had nothing to do at night anyway, so they might as well come out and try their luck.

Thank you LGFD, Yunzhi, and Siye ‰ Yinzhen for your reward!
