Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rice-Sized Eel

"Where?"

"Grass (a kind of green plant), it's really yellow."

"Isn't it, that lucky?"

The other three men were all alarmed, and Chu Mingcheng and Zhang Wei hurriedly went to the stern of the boat to see the fish that were gradually pulling up.

As a result, yellow is really there, but it is a little smaller.

When he saw what it was, Chu Mingcheng's face darkened: "Is there a possibility that the yellow croaker also has small characters?" ”

Zhang Wei sighed speechlessly and went back to continue to help pull the net.

Zhao Jun is the most calm, knowing that the chance of catching a big yellow croaker here is very low. Even if the real net arrives, it is estimated that it is escaped from the large yellow croaker breeding base around Dongting Island, and the price is not high.

Jiang Luoluo noticed the change in the expressions of the two, and knew that he had made a big oolong, and said, "This turned out to be a little yellow croaker!" ”

"Yes, but the wild little yellow croaker is also good, I'll take a few back, let's fry it at night and eat it, it's very fragrant."

Chu Mingcheng took a look at the catch, there were not many small yellow croaker, there were a few big pike crabs, and the rest were dragon head fish and some fish offal, it was estimated that they could only be sold for feed, and the first net was lost.

Soon, the nets were all pulled up, and Zhao Jun untied the rope tied to the tail and poured out all the catches.

Among them, the pike crabs and other small crabs that were still alive suddenly struggled desperately, and some of the less energetic ones were buried in the fish pile.

When the favorite fish picking activity arrived, Chu Mingcheng handed the tongs to the two girls: "You sit here and pick out the big fish and the valuable ones." ”

"Like this red shrimp, you can sell it if it's big. There are a lot of small squid, which can be sold for thirty-five pounds, and they are all picked out, and people here like to eat them very much. ”

"I'll get you a few plastic boxes, and you guys pick them out and sort them out."

"Uh-huh, I'll leave it to us." Jiang Luoluo took the pliers and nodded repeatedly, very interested in this job.

Looking at the small fish pile in front of her, she had the feeling that she was looking for treasure inside.

The two girls sat on a small bench and began to pick valuable catches, and Zhao Jun put the net back down and continued to drive the boat to the location of the second fishing net.

When the fishing net was pulled up, Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi both got up and leaned over to continue to look at the catch.

Although they will fall on the deck when they catch the fish, they just have an expectation that the nets will be full of big fish, so that they can find surprises in advance.

Unfortunately, the second net is similar to the first, and there is not a single big fish.

It's also interesting to note that the same goes all the way up to the fifth net.

Jiang Luoluo looked at the offal fish like a small mountain, but there were not many valuable fish, and he was a little unhappy.

Zhao Jun was pulling the sixth net, so she secretly pulled Chu Mingcheng to the stern: "Are we losing a lot, why don't we have a big fish in the five nets?" ”

Because the sound of the boat engine was very noisy, Jiang Luoluo could only lean close to him and say it, the girl's body fragrance, and the softness that he inadvertently touched made him a little uneasy.

"It's okay, I won't lose too much."

Don't look at the small squid, red shrimp, pike crab, small pomfret and small yellow croaker and the like, but there are also a lot of five nets.

In addition, there are also mountains of fish offal, these plastic boxes can also be sold for 20 yuan, and the cost can be returned to 200 yuan.

Overall, it should be a loss of more than 1,000 yuan.

Jiang Luoluo was about to bring up the matter of paying half of the charter fee, but suddenly heard Zhang Wei shouting excitedly: ", what a big fish, come and see, the net has caught a big fish." ”

"Really?" Chu Mingcheng was immediately attracted to attention and hurriedly walked over.

I saw a rice-sized eel struggling in the fishing net, which is often caught by fishermen in the open sea, but it is rare to see it in the past two years around Yanmen Island.

"Haha, Ah Cheng, you are lucky, this eel should weigh more than twenty pounds, and you have returned to your capital today!" Although the fish is not his own, Zhao Jun is also quite happy.

If today's harvest was so dismal, he would be a little embarrassed in his heart after receiving two thousand from Chu Mingcheng.

"Brother Zhao Jun, can this fish return to its roots?"

Chu Mingcheng had the impression that eel was not expensive, and the eel in the market only bought ten yuan a catty.

Even if it weighs 20 catties, plus the price is high when it is just caught, it is estimated that it will sell for four or five hundred at most!

"Rice-level eels can be sold for at least eighty-one catties, and such a big fish is rare here, maybe someone will want to pay a higher price."

"Why is it so expensive, doesn't the vegetable market only sell for about ten yuan a catty?" Chu Mingcheng was stunned, no wonder Zhao Jun said that he could return to his roots.

"You have fish gelatin, if the fish gelatin is good, take it out and dry it yourself, maybe you can earn more. But this is too troublesome, so it is better to sell it directly. ”

"yes, there's fish gelatin, how did I forget about that."

Jiang Luoluo was relieved to hear that this eel could return to its roots.

As the nets were all pulled up, several people discovered that there were other good goods in the net.

Among them were two fish 30 centimeters in length and red all over their bodies.

Zhao Jun didn't recognize what kind of fish it was, and in the end, Chu Mingcheng found it on the Internet, this is called purple sea bream, which is a kind of superb red-fleshed sashimi fish in the East China Sea.

The fish survives off the coast when it is juvenile and swims back to the continental shelf when it grows up, where it is usually only caught in the open sea.

The normal size of this kind of fish is generally about forty or fifty centimeters, and these thirty centimeters may have been cut off by Zhao Jun's fishing net just as they were about to return to the continental shelf.

Chu Mingcheng originally hoped to catch a grouper, but the grouper didn't come to the purple bream, which was not bad.

In the end, he discussed with Zhang Wei and Jiang Luoluo, took five small yellow croaker, two purple sea bream and five very fat pike crabs, and sold the rest.

After the fishing boat returned, the appearance of a rice-level eel attracted many onlookers.

The belly of this eel is very fat, and the fish gelatin will most likely be very good.

The fishmongers and the owners who came to buy the seafood immediately began to bid, and finally a boss from Wen City bought them.

The fish was 18.7 catties, and it was sold for two thousand three, and the average one catty was sold for more than one hundred and twenty.

In addition to the fish he wanted to take away, the other fish caught on the boat were also sold for more than seven hundred, and the charter boat made a thousand yuan today, but Chu Mingcheng didn't expect it.

The only pity is that these nets will not count as the experience value of the aquatic illustrated book.

"Brother Zhao Jun, do you want to go to my place for a drink at night?"

"No, no, I still have something to do in the evening, next time!"

Zhao Jun didn't plan to join in the fun, if Chu Mingcheng drank with him by himself, then he would definitely go.

"Okay, then next time, then we'll go first."

Chu Mingcheng was not reluctant, and after saying hello, he went back with his things.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and he sent Jiang Luoluo and a few people to his home.

was going to pick up Zhang Ruomei, but she had her menstrual period.

Lest she saw that she couldn't eat the seafood dinner, she called Jiang Luoluo early, telling her that she couldn't come to the dinner party at night, so they didn't have to pick her up, so several people started to make dinner.

Sri Lankan blue crab is steamed directly, and the original meat tastes fresh and sweet.

Chu Mingcheng's hometown did not have an oven, but there was a barbecue grill, so the lobster and scallops were directly taken out by Zhang Wei to roast.

Two purple sea bream were used as sashimi, and the fish head and internal organs were all given to the raccoon cat.

That is, seafood, which is easy to make, and the time is about five o'clock, and all the seafood is placed on the table.
