917.Dried bonito (2/10)
After a year and a half of beer tempering after coming to Canada, or it is also related to the transformation of Poseidon energy, Qin Shiou has grown in alcohol consumption, and the decanting speed has accelerated a lot, he roared on the deck for a while and cleared his mind, and then ran back to the cabin to sleep.
Fishing at sea is hard work, especially in winter, because even if the nights are cold, you have to keep fishing, and you have to get the net when you encounter a school of fish.
In the evening, they came across another school of bonito, and they went down to the net again and caught a lot of bonito in the evening, so that the next morning they caught another batch of bonito, and the trip to catch bonito at sea was over.
Qin Shiou went down to take a look, the two ice cabins were already half full, and the fishermen continued to be busy, sorting the bonito into crisper boxes one by one according to their size.
It is roughly estimated that the bonito caught this time is about 144 or 5 tons, which is nothing compared to the tuna fishing boats in the Pacific Ocean, and those big boats are at least a few hundred tons of skipjack tuna to be brought back to the port at a time.
However, for the North Atlantic, it is already very scary to catch fourteen or fifteen tons of bonito in a day and a half out to sea.
The larger bonito is more than one meter and can weigh forty or fifty kilograms, while the smaller one is fifteen or sixteen kilograms, and the smaller ones will be released back into the sea at that time, and they are all in his fishing ground anyway, and they can't run away.
After checking that the catch was good, Qin Shiou nodded and went to the wheelhouse, and asked Sha Ke to return according to his guidance, they were going to go to the crab pot, and there was still a batch of rampaging snow crabs to deal with at the bottom of the sea.
When he arrived at the place where the snow crabs gathered, Qin Shiou instructed the fishermen to put down all the crab pots that were caught, and some shrimp fishing pots were also put down. This thing can also catch crabs, but it is not as effective as shrimp pots.
Both the shrimp pots and the crab pots have openings. The shrimp pots are flat open because lobsters are stupid. After getting in, I don't know how to find a way to escape, and the opening of the crab pot is at the bottom of the pot, because this thing is reversed and flat, the mouth of the pot is facing down, the bottom of the pot is facing up, and the crabs are holding each other down, and they can't escape if they go in.
With a boat of harvest, Qin Shiou returned to the fishing ground, the heavy snow has not stopped, and the snow has not reached people's calves. The tiger and the leopard could no longer play, like a small radish head, and when they jumped to the deeper part of the snow, they could not see it at all.
However, when the fishing boat returned, the tiger and the leopard still staggered and crawled to meet Qin Shiou, and Xiong Da also wanted to go to the dock, but its legs were short and fat, and it couldn't pull it out when it stepped on the snow, which was too hard.
It is the little lynx that is really suitable for the snow environment, and King Simba has thick soft fur on its feet. It is light in weight, so it can float on the water with iron palms, and it is not very affected to run around in the snow.
Qin Shiou stood on the dock, and Simba ran over and tore his pants and clothes neatly and climbed onto his shoulders. Then he shook the soft hair on his body, and suddenly shook Qin Shiou's face with snow, making him cry and laugh.
The tiger and the leopard rushed up and squeezed into Qin Shiou's arms. It's not like I haven't seen each other for two days, but I haven't seen each other for two years.
It is very fuel-intensive to maintain the ice tanks of fishing boats. So after getting to the dock, you have to unload the fish, put it in the freezer or send it to the factory to make dried bonito.
The wharf is still four or five kilometers away from the factory. Pickup trucks are not usable, so they can only get on sleds.
The sleigh used by Qin Shiou was not bought by himself, but brought by Butler when he came to pull seafood on New Year's Day, and the ice storage was also some distance from the airport, and it was unreliable to transport seafood in the snow by car, so he brought two jet sleds.
The two sleds are three and a half meters long, very sci-fi aesthetic, the shell is not wooden but aluminum, like a flattened snowmobile, with a jet propulsion mounted on each side, powered by carbon fiber fuel cells, each of which can produce 200 kilograms of thrust when driven at full power.
The sled is controlled by a thumb accelerator, which can be controlled by rolling the pulley on the accelerator and can be precisely adjusted in direction, with a tow box dragged behind it, which can drag half a ton of things at a time.
At that time, Shirley and they still wanted to play, but Qin Shiou didn't dare to play with them, this thing is very dangerous, because the speed is very fast, carrying passengers under fifty kilograms, the full speed can reach a hundred kilometers per hour, and once it gets out of control, people can fly to heaven.
Qin Shiou asked BB Frost to control it, BB Frost felt no pressure, he had studied this jet sled, the power system is directly connected to the sled controller through the guò switch cable, in case of emergency, the cable can be pulled off at any time, and the power system is closed.
Four 100-kilogram crisper boxes were loaded on the trailer, BB Frost slowly accelerated, and the sled slid steadily tread the snow and glided.
The children have been salivating about this sleigh, but Qin Shiou resolutely refused to let them touch it, people who have never driven this thing do not understand the temptation of speed, driving this sleigh car is the same as driving a motorcycle, accelerating and wanting to accelerate again, the children's self-control is still too weak, he doesn't want to take risks.
Qin Shiou drove the second sled car by himself, and he controlled the speed at about twenty kilometers per hour, which felt that it was a bit dangerous quickly, because this thing had no protection ability for the driver.
Shirley and the others saw that they didn't have a chance to play, so they pulled their sleigh out of the car, Pineapple is always interested in things that are in the limelight, this time it didn't need to be lured with fruit, it willingly tied the reins itself, and Powell loaded the crisper in the car to help transport the bonito.
Desperate to prove that they were the best, they loaded the sleigh with five crispers, one more than the jet car.
The pineapple is an explosive bomb, the moose is originally the most powerful storage of the deer, and as soon as it is improved by the Poseidon energy, its strength and endurance are naturally more terrifying, even if there are four teenagers pulled on the sleigh car, it can run for an afternoon.
Dragging half a ton of things, the pineapple is a little strained, but it is only strenuous, and it is still stress-free to run in small steps.
After Qin Shiou transported the first batch of bonito, he began to prepare to make dried bonito.
He put the first batch of 400 kilograms of bonito onto the conveyor belt, a production line began to work, and the skipjack tuna was first sent into the steamer.
After steaming, the bonito is dehydrated in a centrifuge, and in the process, a part of the gravy from the meat is thrown out, which is the essence of the bonito gravy, which is also to be collected, and the Japanese use it to eat directly with bibimbap, and it is also the best sauce for marinating various wild vegetables.
As the centrifuge worked, a yellowish, transparent and slightly viscous gravy flowed out of the water pipe, and Qin Shiou put the prepared glass bucket over to accept it.
You can't use a plastic bucket for bonito gravy, otherwise it will affect the taste of the gravy, and a glass bucket is the most suitable.
At this time, the fresh smell of bonito fills the factory, because the gravy of bonito at this time is warm.
After the longest drying process, the hard bonito dried bonito is officially baked. (To be continued......)
