Chapter 577: Tuna Fishing
Xiao Ping let the refrigerated truck continue to keep it refrigerated, and he returned to the room and entered the demon refining pot. Having something to do, he refused the black devil's request to run around and ran straight to the beach to prepare for fishing.
Tuna is found in oceans all over the world, and fishermen in the Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean oceans catch this economically valuable fish.
However, fishermen use different methods of catching tuna. American fishermen on the Atlantic coast catch only the larger bluefin tuna, Italian fishermen in the Mediterranean catch tuna with large purse seine nets and catch the whole school of fish, while Australian fishermen in the Pacific use a more peculiar method of going out to sea to catch whole schools of smaller tuna, raising them in movable pens in the sea for a while, and eventually hauling them along with the fences to sell the fish directly near Japan.
Among these tuna from different origins, bluefin tuna in the United States is the most expensive. Because of its large size and good flesh, this fish is the most popular tuna species on the market.
What Xiao Ping stocked in the demon refining pot was the authentic Atlantic bluefin tuna. But his method of catching fish is completely different from that of American fishermen who go out to sea in small boats, not to mention that he doesn't need a boat, not even a fishing rod.
Xiao Ping walked straight into the sea and stopped in waist-deep water. He dipped his hands in the seawater, and the water temperature was very comfortable. Xiao Ping closed his eyes slightly and began to concentrate on feeling everything in the sea.
Since the Demon Refining Pot successfully recognized its master, Xiao Ping was able to establish a magical connection with the things in the pot in a state of mental concentration. At this time, Xiao Ping's perception ability had expanded to a large area of the sea, and everything here was under his feelings.
Abalone slowly crawls on the bottom of the sea. Eating seaweed on rocks on the ocean floor. After more than a year of breeding, the small abalone that Xiao Ping bought back have grown to the size of an abalone. Although a lot has been caught. However, there are still quite a few left. To Xiao Ping's delight, the abalone have begun to reproduce on their own. In the crevices of the rocks, he found many small abalone the size of fingernails. It is believed that as long as time passes, these small abalone can also grow into a valuable one-headed abalone and a double-headed abalone.
In addition to abalone, there are also pearl oysters that Xiao Ping bought together. At present, these pearl oysters are the size of a soup bowl, and I don't know how big the pearls planted in Lu Dao at that time have grown. However, Xiao Ping has always been busy with other things, so he can't take care of them for the time being.
In addition to these two shells, large schools of sardines and anchovies swim in the sea. These two small fish were originally introduced by Xiao Ping as food for tuna, and it seems that they are very suitable for the excellent environment in the demon refining pot, and the number is actually increasing.
Up to now. Xiao Ping was very satisfied with the situation in the ocean. After all, allowing these species to reproduce on their own in the demon refining pot is also the goal that Xiao Ping has been pursuing for a long time. In this way, he does not have to travel frequently to various parts of the world to catch these species, and he will definitely save a lot of trouble.
What's more, if the creatures in the demon refining pot can reproduce on their own, the quality will definitely get better after a few generations, and it will also be very beneficial to enhance the brand image. And from the current point of view, everything is developing in the direction that Xiao Ping wants, and of course he is very happy.
Just as Xiao Ping was investigating a group of sardines, several huge shadows suddenly appeared in his perceptual range. These shades are all huge fish, the largest of which is already more than two and a half meters long. The other ones are also about two meters long. These big fish quickly rush into the school of sardines, swallow the sardines in front of them with their mouths wide open, and then swim away quickly.
These big fish are the targets that Xiao Ping wants to catch this time - bluefin tuna.
In the superior environment of the Demon Refining Pot, the bluefin tuna grows at an astonishing rate. Judging by their size. Obviously, they have all reached the stage of maturity. From the time Xiao Ping put the young fish into the demon refining pot to now, it has only been about a year, and these fish have actually grown completely. It is important to know that bluefin tuna grows to adulthood in the wild. It will take at least five years, and at that time they will only be about one and a half meters long. You can see it by comparing the two. How fast the tuna in the demon refining pot grew.
After feeling these bluefin tuna, Xiao Ping immediately focused on establishing contact with them. He has that ability. You can control all the animals in the demon refining pot with your mind, and this method is used to catch aquatic creatures such as abalone, so you can catch bluefin tuna with your bare hands.
After being influenced by Xiao Ping's thoughts, several bluefin tuna movements stopped in unison and stopped continuing to hunt. The sardines immediately swam into the distance, and today was a good day for them to escape death.
Xiao Ping didn't have time to care about the small fish, he put all his attention on the bluefin tuna, and ordered them to swim slowly towards him.
To Xiao Ping's surprise, these big fish actually had a faint resistance to their orders, and occasionally escaped to the deep sea on the way to the shore. Especially the largest tuna, the sense of resistance is even stronger, and it almost let it escape twice.
"It seems that the bigger the animal, the stronger the resistance!" Xiao Ping sighed secretly while continuing to control the tuna to approach him.
Fortunately, as the master of the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping can master everything in the pot. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the tuna finally came to the vicinity of Xiao Ping in those days.
Although Xiao Ping had already sensed the size of these bluefin tuna, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw these big fish with his own eyes. Each tuna is longer than Xiao Ping's height, their blue backs stand out in the clear waters, and their streamlined bodies look powerful. Even though the fish are still in the sea, they look delicious.
Xiao Ping controlled the largest tuna to swim to his side, and hit the fish head with a heavy punch. Even if it was blocked by the seawater, the force of this punch was still very strong. Don't look at the huge size of tuna, it can't withstand this level of blowing. The fish only fluttered for a moment, and then floated motionless to the surface, already stunned by Xiao Ping.
Next, Xiao Ping drew a scoop with a gourd and knocked out all the tuna around him. Looking at the few big fish floating on the surface of the water around him, Xiao Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It's done!"
Of course, there is a reason why Xiao Ping wants to knock the fish unconscious first. If you get the fish directly out of the water and onto the shore, these big guys will definitely struggle violently, which will not only add a lot of trouble to Xiao Ping, but also damage the perfect appearance of these tuna.
Since Xiao Ping is taking the boutique route, he will naturally not let the tuna that is about to be sold have this kind of problem. Although this will not affect the quality of the fish, it is unacceptable to Xiao Ping, who pursues perfection.
Now that the tuna are knocked out, it's much easier to deal with. Xiao Ping put the thick plastic cloth that had been prepared in advance under the fish, and then pulled them all ashore.
Fortunately, there could be no other people in the demon refining pot, so Xiao Ping's actions did not cause a sensation. You must know that the tuna with a body length of nearly two meters weighs at least 300 catties, and the tuna with a length of more than two and a half meters is close to 500 catties, and Xiao Ping didn't look like he was using much effort when he dragged these tuna ashore, as if he was dragging a small fish of more than ten catties. This is really amazing, so that Xiao Ping can easily get a championship back if he goes to participate in the World Hercules Games.
Of course, Xiao Ping will definitely not show his head. He pulled all the tuna to a distance of more than ten meters from the sea, clapped his hands with satisfaction, and left the demon refining pot.
Xiao Ping went straight to the back of the refrigerated truck, opened the door of the refrigerated container, and directly put a few bluefin tuna caught side by side inside.
"One, two,...... Seven, eight, nine. Xiao Ping counted the number of tuna, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Nine, and the number of promised Takahashi Hideto is about the same, so be it." ”
Although Xiao Ping had an easy time catching fish, he was reluctant to supply Koshita with too much high-quality tuna at once. Since the last time Xingxia Co., Ltd. tried to cultivate jade vegetables on its own, Xiao Ping didn't trust them very much, and he has always been more careful when dealing with them, and this time is naturally no exception.
Xiao Ping closed the door of the refrigerator and let the refrigerator continue to run, and then went back to rest. At such a low temperature, the tuna must have been frozen by dawn, and then it can be kept at such a low temperature and refrigerated to be sold at fish markets in Japan.
Xiao Ping does this to start freezing the tuna before it is dead, which is good for maintaining the freshness of the fish. After catching tuna, American fishermen can only refrigerate it with ice cubes on their fishing boats until they dock before they can be sent to cold storage for deep freezing.
The meat quality of tuna is relatively special, and only when it is stored in an environment of minus 60 degrees Celsius can the flavor of the fish be maintained to the greatest extent. Don't look at the tuna that only sits on the fishing boat for half a day, but it has greatly affected the quality of the fish. It can be said that in the link of preservation, even the Americans are far from doing as well as Xiao Ping.
Xiao Ping, who was busy with these things, rested for a few hours, and after the driver sent by Zhou Jun arrived at the farm, the two drove to Shencheng in a refrigerated truck together. Lin Zukang's refrigerated transport ship will dock in Shencheng in the evening, and Xiao Ping hopes that the refrigerated transport ship can set sail in the evening and continue to sail to Japan, so as to delay as little time as possible.
The journey to Shencheng went very smoothly, and a few hours later, the refrigerated truck had entered the Shencheng area, and Xiao Ping also received a call from the captain of the refrigerated transport ship. (To be continued......)
