Chapter 154: Preparing to Go to Sea Again

Li Xiaofeng didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, so he chatted with his mother and grandmother at home, and he was extremely satisfied when he saw the smile on his grandmother's face.

But in the evening, Liu Xuexia began to get busy.

Because today she wanted to wrap some buns, so that Li Yonglin and Li Xiaofeng would take them to the boat to eat at that time.

As soon as the two of them came back, they complained to her that they had eaten enough seafood, and she kept it in mind for the past two days.

Liu Xuexia is preparing to wrap a dried vegetable bun with oil residue, and the stuffing of the bun is mainly lard residue and wild vegetables.

For this reason, in the morning, she also went to the town to buy a hanging board of lard and some fatty meat, and came back to prepare the oil refining residue.

Speaking of which, when Li Xiaofeng was a child, basically every household on their side ate lard, what lard stir-fried vegetables, lard bibimbap, it seems that everyone's health is no problem.

It's just that lard was demonized by some people with ulterior motives, and now every household has switched to salad oil, but people's health problems seem to have increased, such as diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The dried wild vegetables are available at home, and they have been taken out and soaked in pots, and Liu Xuexia's next step is to refine the oil residue to be used.

She first used the lymph and blood clots on the lard and fat she bought to cut them off, then cut them into mahjong size with a knife, and then poured them into a basin of clean water and washed them carefully.

The next step is to put the cut fat and lard in the pot for a while, so as to remove the impurities mixed in the fat and oil.

Liu Xuexia poured the freshly cleaned fat and oil into the pot, then added water and boiled over high heat.

After the pot is boiled, it is considered to be finished with water, and some of the impurities mixed in the fat and oil are dissolved into the hot water.

Liu Xuexia took out the fat and lard after the water, put it in a dry pot, and began to dry the water over low heat, and as time passed, the lard was slowly refined.

The fat and lard that had been cut into pieces in the pan began to shrink slowly, but the amount of lard that had been refined in the pan gradually increased.

This is because the oil they contain is refined, and they themselves slowly turn into oil residue.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xuexia saw that the lard in the oil residue was almost refined, so she used a fishing cover to fish out the oil residue one by one, and did not forget to squeeze them with a spoon while fishing, so as to force out the remaining oil in it.

In this way, the burnt oil residue will come out of the pan.

Smelling this familiar fragrance, Li Xiaofeng had a feeling of returning to his childhood, and couldn't help but take two pieces of oil residue, stuffed them into his mouth and ate them slowly.

Speaking of these oil residues, they may not look inconspicuous now, and children don't look down on them, but when Li Xiaofeng was a child, this was really a rare snack for children.

When they were young, the material conditions of every family at that time were not very good, and the children had no snacks at that time.

If it weren't for the New Year's festival and the guests came to the house, they generally couldn't eat meat, and there was no oil and water in their stomachs, so they were all very greedy.

So at that time, whoever could have lard residue at home to eat was already a rare delicacy for them! can make the children next to him envy and cry.

Now Li Xiaofeng still clearly remembers that when he was a child, there was no one at home.

He and his younger brother Li Xiaoqiang secretly brought out the lard residue refined by his mother the day before, you and I had a piece, but the two of them ate too fragrantly, and directly ate the lard residue that my mother was going to use to wrap buns.

Thinking about the past, I can't help but feel both interesting and a little sad.

The little bun next to him looked at Li Xiaofeng as if he was eating very fragrant, and he also meowed, looking like he wanted to eat.

Li Xiaofeng took another piece for it, and the small bun was also eaten next to it.

Liu Xuexia cut the lard residue a little more, and then mixed them with the chopped dried wild vegetables, added chili peppers, green onions, ginger, garlic and various seasonings, stirred well, and the bun filling was ready.

He made the noodles prepared in advance into bun wrappers and began to wrap the buns, and Li Xiaofeng and his grandmother also sat next to them to help wrap the buns.

Speaking of which, this time Liu Xuexia not only prepared buns for two people, but also prepared a large bottle of pickled hot and sour beans.

This is mainly because it was the first time to go to the sea, and everyone had no experience at home, so they basically didn't bring anything.

Li Xiaofeng estimated that not only their homes would prepare these things this time, but also the homes of other crew members should also prepare some of them.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaofeng got up to wash up and finish breakfast.

He drove a pickup truck to a fishing tackle shop in town and bought three deep-sea boat rods of different sizes.

This rod is specially used for deep-sea boat fishing, and it is shorter than the usual rod, usually more than one to two meters long, but the hardness of the rod is much greater.

This is what he is preparing for going to the deep sea to catch big fish.

I have to say that these fishing gears are really expensive, and three fishing rods cost him thousands.

No wonder it is often said that "fishing is poor for three years, and playing with birds ruins a lifetime." Once he learned to chase rabbits, he embarked on the road of no return. In case one day you fall in love with an eagle and look at the sky with tears in your eyes. ”

Think about the various equipment he bought for himself since he came back to fish, adding up to more than 100,000 yuan.

Li Xiaofeng went to the town this time to buy three fishing rods, and also bought two barbecue grills, one large and one small. The big one is going to be brought to the boat, and when he has time, he will improve the food for everyone.

The smaller ones are ready to stay at home, and the family has a barbecue at home when they are free, which is also quite interesting.

After returning home, Li Xiaofeng was busy helping his mother and help with the cooking, and it was their turn to treat them today.

Liu Xuexia had been preparing this meal the night before, so it was also very hearty, and there were Li Xiaofeng's favorite ginger duck and chicken soup in the dishes.

Unlike the three days ago, they ate at the third uncle's house, and today they also served several seafood dishes that they hadn't eaten much on the boat.

Because they are going to sea tomorrow, they still have some things to do in the afternoon today, so everyone controls the amount of alcohol.

Li Xiaofeng simply didn't drink today.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, everyone sat in the courtyard again, basking in the sun and drinking tea, chatting about the whole world.

We chatted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone began to get busy.

Like last time, Li Xiaofeng had already listed the materials that needed to be prepared in advance into a table and handed them to her mother, and after a while, she and the third aunt and Aunt Yu went to the supermarket and vegetable market to book things in advance, and they could be delivered to the dock early tomorrow morning.

According to the actual situation last time, Li Xiaofeng ordered a lot of fruits, vegetables and meat this time, and also bought some dehydrated vegetables.

Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun will be responsible for filling up the fishing boats with oil and water.

Originally, Li Xiaofeng was going to go over, but everyone asked him to stay at home and study carefully where the fishing boat would go fishing tomorrow.

Li Xiaofeng studied his small notebook at home for a long time, and finally he was ready to change course this time and drive the boat directly to the open sea to fish.

Some people may have heard of the high seas and have an impression of it, but if you mention the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone, then the concept of them may be a little unclear.

Territorial sea refers to the sea area of a certain width adjacent to its coast or internal waters under the jurisdiction of a coastal sovereign state, and is an integral part of the national territory.

The width of the territorial sea has also changed many times throughout history, from three nautical miles, to eleven nautical miles, and then to twenty-two nautical miles.

The width of the territorial sea is now generally recognized as 12 nautical miles, adopted by the Third United Nations Ocean Conference in 1982.

Our country is also the same standard.

However, this standard is also not recognized by many countries, such as Togo, which stipulates that its territorial waters are 30 nautical miles, while countries such as Benin, Congo, Ecuador, El Salvador, Libya, Peru, and Somalia stipulate that their territorial waters are 200 nautical miles.

Exclusive economic zone, also known as economic sea zone, refers to a regional concept proposed in international law to resolve disputes between countries or regions over territorial waters.

It often refers to an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, and the EEZ generally does not face 200 nautical miles (370.4 km) from the baseline from which the width of the territorial sea is measured.

The high seas refer to the part of the ocean that is not subject to the sovereign jurisdiction and domination of any State, and this part of the sea is not included in the exclusive economic zone, territorial sea or archipelagic waters of an archipelagic State.

The high seas are the common heritage of all mankind and are open to all nations.

So beyond the territorial sea is the exclusive economic zone, and beyond that is the high seas.

The high seas are far from the land and cannot be reached by ordinary boats, so there are more fish than in the offshore waters. Many distant-water fishing vessels are mainly engaged in fishing on the high seas.

It's just that in recent years, due to overfishing, the resources on the high seas are also slowly decreasing.

Therefore, there are more and more conflicts between fishermen on the high seas because of the competition for fish resources.

Here, Li Xiaofeng is still at home studying the charts and the route of the fishing boat tomorrow, and Liu Xuexia is also busy talking about the price with the supermarket management, you must know that they have to purchase tens of thousands of yuan of things this time, and they can already be regarded as a big customer of the supermarket, and they also have the bargaining power with the supermarket.

On the other side, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun were also busy refueling the fishing boat.

Since there was not much fuel to be replenished this time, they did not contact the refueling ship, but directly contacted the refueling station and drove a tanker.

In fact, they also have a small water-making machine on their fishing boat, but the seawater it can melt is very limited, so the water on the fishing boat is mainly replenished on the wharf.

Most of the water-making machines on another distant-water fishing boat Li Xiaofeng bought, which can melt more than 10 tons of seawater a day, can basically achieve self-sufficiency in water at sea.
