Chapter 30 The Fish of the Song Dynasty Are Stupid
Sea fishing for big fish is a relatively dangerous sport even in modern times, and the sea fish are often dozens or hundreds of catties, and the slightest flutter is uncontrollable by manpower. It is not uncommon for a big fish to sprain its wrist and break its bones, but if the fish still has a hook on its body, it is even more dangerous, and if the hook is not good, it will hang on the human body. If it is hung up by a fish hook with barbs, it can be sent to the hospital for treatment in the future, which is a troublesome time in this era. There is no way to take it out, you can only push it forward, it is difficult to say whether it will be infected, and what is more dangerous is that if you stab the blood vessels, you will basically be hopeless.
In addition, if you are caught by a barbed fish hook in your daily life, you can't find a hospital for the time being, don't let the fish hook stay in the meat, it is too easy to get infected. Don't pull the hook back, in case the barb hangs up the blood vessels, the correct way is to let the hook move forward, according to the shape of the hook, from the tip of the hook direction, the pain is painful, but there will not be too many sequelae, who let you accidentally be hooked, it hurts once and you will know to pay attention next time.
"Remember!" Bo Jiao nodded vigorously.
Seeing that Bo Jiao was not perfunctory, Hong Tao stretched out the hook, hooked the rope attached to the buoy, and then turned the rope on the hook head a few times, and then began to order Bo Jiao to pick up the wooden oar, raise the sail and start to reverse the boat. He wants to drag the fish out of the water to see it clearly and then deal with it, which is more convenient, borrowing the power of the wind to exhaust its last bit of strength, and not touching it if he is not tired and turning his stomach, anyway, there is time.
"Grandpa, big fish! It's huge! Po Jiao sailed and looked forward, and he saw it when the fish that had been almost entangled in the whole cable first came out of the water. It is estimated that he has never seen such a big fish since he was a child, and the first thing that comes to mind is to report to his father, but unfortunately his shout Bo Xiaoer may not be able to hear it.
This fish is indeed not small, the hazel body is a bit like the shape of a shark, more than 2 meters long, Hong Tao should have about 150 catties by eyesight, it may be a sea catfish, but I am not sure. He had only caught a half-meter-long sea fish in his later life, and he had never seen such a large one. It doesn't matter what it is, it can't run away anyway, there are at least 3 or 4 hooks on it, and I will talk about it first, but I can't pull it myself, so I can only raise the sail and drag the fish to Bo Xiaoer.
"What a big sea boy! I'm afraid Grandpa hasn't caught it yet! When the two small wooden boats came together, and the three big men pulled the tail of the fish and the cable to drag the big fish covered in blood onto Bo Xiaoer's boat, even Bo Xiaoer was a little surprised, obviously he knew this kind of fish, but he had never seen such a big one.
"Is this fish easy to sell?" Hong Tao doesn't care what kind of fish this is, he has to call it whatever he wants, the important question is whether it is worth it, don't spend a long time on it, the people of the Song Dynasty don't like to eat, so it's not in vain.
"The smaller ones are very easy to sell, the natives like to eat fish, such a big one costs hundreds of Wen, this big ......" Bo Xiaoer couldn't answer Hong Tao's question, mainly because he had never caught or sold such a big sea larvae, and he was at a loss.
"Oh! It's easy to sell, and the small ones are worth the big ones, and the bigger the sashimi, the better, I know this! Hong Tao was relieved to listen to Bo Xiaoer's words, the Song people like to eat raw meat slices, called pork belly, and sashimi is called fish fish. What kind of sashimi is delicious, Hong Tao has a lot to say.
The same tuna, sashimi made with 10 catties of fish is not as good as that made with 50 catties of fish, because the meat of the big fish is sandwiched with a fat layer, just like pork belly, the more fat, the better the taste. In high-end restaurants in North America, whether it is salmon or sashimi, it will be marked what sea area the fish is caught from, what is the size of the fish, the bigger the more expensive, and it is estimated that the people of the Song Dynasty are not stupid.
"Do you know everything if you read and write?" Bo Xiaoer and Bo Xiaosan brothers watched the elated Hong Tao drive the small wooden boat to take the bait again, and looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say. How does he know everything? Compared with him, the brothers felt that they were more like foreigners, could it be that the children who could read were so smart?
"Almost, Uncle Chen knows more than our grandfather, and he sells fish for more money than grandpa. Brother, let Tao Lingzi go to sea less in the future, and let the little fish and shrimp learn more Braille, our Tan family can't go to school, but I didn't say that I can't read. We helped him fish and save money to buy a new boat, and with these things, he could get the new row boat back in half a year, what do you say? Bo Xiaosan looked at the two busy figures on the boat, and he also had some ideas in his heart. Hong Tao came for less than ten days, and he brought earth-shaking changes to his family, and the reason for this is that he thinks that reading and reading has worked, and he knows too many things, which is much better than his own family.
"That's right, I'll tell Grandpa when I go back, it's not his turn to disagree this time, let's talk together!" Bo Xiaoer also thought so, for the sake of his child's future, he decided to stand on Hong Tao's side to oppose his own father, this is the power of technology, big enough to subvert everything, including law, morality and all human thoughts.
Hong Tao didn't know that the Bo brothers were calculating themselves behind his back, he was now full of energy, packed up the rolling hooks, checked the status of the hooks one by one, and then hung up the new fish meat, and threw it back into the sea again, waiting for the next greedy big fish to take the bait. It didn't take long for another rolling hook to move again, this time Bo Xiaoer didn't let him chase the big fish again, but drove the boat with Bo Xiaosan to chase it. In terms of technology and toughness in dealing with big fish, Hong Tao still has a lot of gaps from these professional fishermen, and the two brothers didn't wait for the big fish to swim at all, and dragged a cow port cucumber more than one meter long to get up. Almost at the same time as the hook was removed, the new fish meat was hung up, the fish was put on the boat, and the hook was put into the sea, which was extremely skillful.
When the day rose to the top of their heads, Hong Tao and Bo Xiaoer each put two hundred and ten pounds of big fish in the cabin, and the two roller hooks took turns to catch the fish, and the four people were busy enough, but they were tired and tired, and they were in a good mood, these fish were not just fun, but money! . In fact, there should be 5 of them, and a two-meter-long big wolf was on the middle, and a strand was broken. This thing was not only hated by later generations of fishermen, but also by fishermen in the Song Dynasty. Because his meat was as dry as firewood, basically no one wanted to eat it, and he looked very ugly, Bo Xiaosan didn't even give it a chance to be bait, took out a machete and chopped off the head of the fish, and then threw it directly back into the sea, very disgusted.
