Chapter 186: Fish with its own body fragrance II

After everyone put down the sweetfish, Li Xiaofeng continued to explain: "The sweetfish is also called sesame oil fish, sea fetal fish, and fairy fetal fish in some places. Ayu is roughly divided into two kinds, one is basically always grown in the water with relatively good water quality, which is called the land seal type; There is also a migratory type, which usually swims to the shore creek to lay eggs in summer and autumn, and swims back to the sea to escape the winter in winter. What we caught was an ayu that migrates to the sea to escape the winter, and the taste of this migratory ayu is generally better. ”

Li Xiaoliang listened, couldn't help but pick it up and smell it again, and said with a smile: "Haha, I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've encountered this kind of fish with its own body fragrance!" ”

This made everyone laugh.

After putting down the sweetfish in his hand, Li Xiaoliang asked again: "Brother Feng, this sweetfish smells so good, the price must be very expensive, right?" ”

Hearing his words, Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "This fish was generally used as a tribute in ancient times, and it was not only in our country, but also in Xiaori, and it was also a tribute belonging to their royal family in the past. ”

Because of its delicate and fatty meat, fresh and fragrant, sweetfish has been the best edible fish in history, and even has the reputation of "the king of fish in the water".

The poem "Yanshan produces sweetfish, and the sweetness is more than enough" has been passed down through the ages.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yanshan sweetfish, as one of the "five treasures of Yanshan", has become a tribute to the imperial court.

The literati and writers of the past dynasties have also praised the sweetfish, such as the "Zaijingtang Collection" vividly praised the sweetfish in an anthropomorphic way, "the noisy beauty of the clear stream, and the clever makeup near the water." If you want to compare people together, the tail is fragrant. ”

Duanmu Guohu, a Jinshi in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, also has a description of sweetfish in his "Yanshan Inscription Wall": "The tendon bamboo stream is cold and the rice is born, and the Furong River is warm and the sweetfish is cultivated." ”

It is said that when Liang Zhangju, the governor of Liangjiang in the Qing Dynasty, traveled to Yandang Mountain, he smelled the name of the fragrant fish and could not find it for a long time.

In addition, ayu is not only popular in our country, but it is also said to exist as a top-notch Japanese food on the small day.

At the same time, Xiaori is also the world's largest consumer of sweetfish, and due to the lack of self-production, a large number of sweetfish will be imported from China every year.

Of course, these exported sweetfish are basically farmed, and the fragrance of farmed sweetfish is generally stronger than that of wild sweetfish, and the price is much cheaper.

Listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, since sweetfish could be used as a tribute before, it must be a good thing!

Han Minghua said with a smile: "Captain, you just tell us how much is a pound now, I think this is what everyone is most concerned about!" ”

Hearing his words, Li Xiaofeng shook his head with a smile and said, "I originally wanted to tell you more knowledge, but I didn't expect you to only care about its price." Forget it, I'll tell you directly, the general farmed sweetfish can be sold for forty or fifty yuan a pound in the market, and the price of wild sweetfish is generally about three to four times that of farmed! Do the math for yourselves, how much is a pound. ”

Everyone understands this, these sweetfish they caught, they must be wild, so isn't this catty at least one hundred and twenty or thirty?

In fact, the price of wild sweetfish on their side is a little higher than the crew estimated, generally it can be sold for about one hundred and fifty or sixty, and it is generally difficult to buy.

The atmosphere on the deck suddenly became warm, and Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun both smiled when they heard it.

I thought it was just a net of worthless small trash fish, but who would have thought that it would end up being an expensive sweetfish.

Since wild sweetfish are indeed becoming more and more rare, the two of them, as decades old fishermen, did not even recognize them at first. However, they have heard of the name of this sweetfish. In a few nearby cities, there are people who specialize in raising sweetfish in some rivers and streams.

When Han Minghua heard this price, he looked at the sweetfish in the fishing net again, and couldn't help but be speechless.

There are at least six or seven thousand catties of sweetfish in this net, which is either one net or tens of millions.

Seeing everyone's happy looks, Li Xiaofeng said loudly: "Everyone hurry up and sort these sweetfish." The live ones are bred into the living water tank, and the dead ones are put in cold storage. Tonight we will also taste the taste of this sweetfish, the taste of this tribute that only emperors can eat in ancient times. ”

Hearing his words, everyone immediately agreed, returned to their posts, and began to get busy.

Since there are several more crew members on the fishing boat than before, and there are not many fish caught in this net, they did not stop to sort, but continued to drive the fishing boat north.

When cooking dinner in the evening, Li Xiaofeng also specially informed the chef to make some salt-grilled sweetfish for everyone.

The salt-grilled sweetfish method is also relatively simple.

After killing the sweetfish directly, remove the internal organs, scrape the scales with a knife, and then clean it can be skewered with a steel brazing, and then smear a little salt on the fish, and then it can be grilled directly on the fire.

The grilled sweetfish is charred and fragrant, with a little fruity aroma, and it feels delicious.

It is said that the salt-grilled sweetfish is made in small days without removing the guts of the sweetfish, and it is said that the sweetfish grilled in this way will have a bitter taste of the internal organs, but it will have a different flavor after it is sweetened.

However, this approach is generally not very acceptable to our people.

At dinner in the evening, these salt-grilled sweetfish, with a fruity aroma in the burnt aroma, are very popular with everyone.

Even many people coaxed and said: "Let's also experience some of the things that the ancient emperor ate today!" ”

After everyone had a lively dinner, they all returned to their posts. It didn't take long for Li Xiaofeng to inform the third uncle to start today's second network.

The fishing boat was stretched at sea for three or four hours before Li Xiaofeng informed everyone that it began to collect its nets.

I have to say that there are many more fish pulled up in this net than in the first net they just had.

The fishing net is full of fish, and according to Li Xiaofeng's estimate, there are at least a dozen tons of fish in this net.

Unfortunately, there are no particularly valuable fish in this net, and the net is dominated by hairtail, as well as some octopus and cuttlefish.

After the fish in this net were sorted, it was the second half of the night before I knew it, but everyone was tired.

This time, Han Minghua realized the hard work of the fishermen at sea, and after sorting the fish, he didn't want to move, and finally was dragged by Li Xiaofeng before going to take a bath and sleep.

It's no wonder that he has been sitting in the office for so many years, and now he suddenly encounters such a big physical work, he must have to adapt for a while.
