Chapter 279: Return
Coming to the kitchen, Chu Mingcheng put the fish on the cutting board.
This bull's-eyed green fish has a very thick back, and when it was slaughtered just now, it has a lot of visceral fat, and it is an extremely fat fish.
Jiang Luoluo stood quietly beside her and watched quietly, she really couldn't think for a while, what delicious food had to be prepared a few days in advance before eating.
Chu Mingcheng picked up the kitchen scissors and cut off the fins of this fish.
The guts of the fish gills have been cleaned just now, but there is still a layer of membrane in the position of the fish vertebrae that has to be cut with a knife.
Then the blood clots inside were revealed, and the blood had been frozen, Chu Mingcheng took a small brush and washed it clean with water.
The whole fish is washed very clean, and it must be ensured that there is no blood at all, otherwise there will be a fishy smell.
Then he brought kitchen paper and drained all the water inside and outside the fish, which was very important.
The water is almost absorbed, and he stuffs a piece of paper specially designed for aging into the belly of the fish to further absorb the water.
The outside was also wrapped in aged paper, and then a transparent plastic bag was brought and the fish was put inside.
"That's what you need to do?" Jiang Luoluo pointed at the fish and wondered.
Chu Mingcheng nodded, took out a straw, sucked out all the air in the bag to ensure the vacuum, and then tightly sealed it and put it in the refrigerator.
"Yes, aged fish, whether it is sashimi or boiled fish soup, has certain advantages over raw fish, the only disadvantage is the trouble and waste of some ingredients."
"Hey, that's maturation, I've heard that." Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized what he was talking about, and some expectations rose in his heart.
After eating high-end fish, she likes all kinds of original ways to eat them.
The taste of high-quality fish is indeed very different from that of ordinary fish, just like the difference between regular steak and top-quality steak.
In particular, fish is not easy to gain weight, so it is also the meat that Jiang Luoluo eats the most.
After the fish made the preliminary preparations, the two turned off the kitchen light and walked to the bedroom.
Jiang Luoluo followed Chu Mingcheng's side, thinking about the operation of maturation, and felt that it was very simple, and he could do it in the future, so he continued to ask for more detailed details.
"Just leave it there for seven days?"
Chu Mingcheng shook his head, seeing the curiosity on her face, he explained.
"No, the aging time has to do with the fish and what kind of aged fish you want to eat, usually five days or seven days."
"But tuna, some Japanese restaurants will age for two weeks, and some sea bream only takes three days to eat."
"Secondly, I have to take out this fish in two days to see how it is aged, and I will probably need to replace the aging paper, after all, there is still a lot of moisture in the fish."
Jiang Luoluo nodded after listening, and had a general understanding, but the specific still needed to see and learn more and accumulate some experience, so he asked Chu Mingcheng to call her when the operation was mature.
Later in her life, she would work with all kinds of fish, and she felt that she needed to learn how to do them.
At the very least, you have to show your virtue in front of your future mother-in-law.
Otherwise, it is easy to be contradictory to be labeled as a lazy or vase.
......
For the next two days, the Poseidon stayed near the reef.
Chu Mingcheng has asked sea lions to look for tuna or marlin in the past two days, but he is not very lucky and has not found them for the time being, so he stayed here to catch orchid crabs and catch bull's eye green bass.
At present, there are fewer and fewer large bull's-eye green basses, and there is not much space in the refrigerated cabin.
Most of them are taken up by bull's eye green bass, but there are still only six tuna.
It is eleven shorts from the tuna illustrated upgrade.
If you encounter a school of tuna fish with this amount, you can get it in minutes, but unfortunately you can't meet it.
At present, it is the sixth day that Chu Mingcheng has gone to sea, so he decided to go back first and go to the magic capital to sell tuna.
If there is no fishing
If he goes to bluefin tuna, he will definitely not go to the magic capital, and a few tuna can be sold in Xiashi.
But if you want to sell bluefin tuna for a high price, you have to make a trip.
Bluefin tuna of this grade can be auctioned, and it will be sold for much higher than the simple appraisal price, and the oil cost for the round trip is nothing.
Chu Mingcheng first took pictures of the catch he caught when he went to sea this time, and then came to the wheelhouse to start the Poseidon.
After setting up the autopilot, he posted all the pictures to the group, and the main promotion was the bull's-eye frog.
This fish restaurant can be purchased completely, and there is no fear that it will not be sold.
Secondly, ultra-low temperature frozen fish, inland friends can also buy some, but not afraid that the fish will spoil during the transportation period, unless the transportation company can not deliver it for a week.
That's the problem of the transport company, and it has nothing to do with him.
As soon as these photos were posted, the group that had been silent for a long time immediately became lively.
There are greetings to Chu Mingcheng... Well, serious regards.
There are also people who come up to grab fish, and this group of gourmets can be spoiled during the fishing ban period.
Not to mention the lack of various aquatic products, the price is also expensive, and the quality has also decreased a lot.
Imported seafood is good, but after all, there are not many people who are wronged, and rich people are sometimes more budget-conscious.
Now that Chu Mingcheng has gone to sea, it is undoubtedly good news for them.
The more than 2,500 catties of bull's-eye green bass caught in three days were directly sold.
Among them, it is mainly a few owners of restaurants who have taken action and asked for most of them.
This fish is a high-grade sashimi fish on the small day, and there are many tricks that can be made in the hands of domestic chefs.
The profits generated are far greater than ordinary seafood, and Chu Mingcheng does not need to be shipped through Wen City, so these fish are naturally more popular.
The rest of the seafood on the ship was also sold similarly, and even the stingy shrimp were of interest.
There is no shipping cost, and most people are willing to try these things that have not been eaten.
If there is a shipping fee, some people will consider the cost performance, their own loss after receiving the goods, and so on.
With a small notebook, I recorded all the seafood that the customer asked for and listed the rest of the catch.
There is not much seafood left, so you can give some to your relatives and friends when the time comes.
Close the notebook and look up, there are several thick lines on the fish finder, and they are displayed on the surface of the water?
Chu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, his luck was so good, he could still meet a group of big fish when he returned home?
He immediately got up and took a telescope to see where the fish were.
Then I found a school of tuna following the Poseidon to hunt some small fish that followed the boat, and from time to time it would explode into a splash.
Unexpectedly, the Poseidon drove on the fishway by mistake and attracted a group of tuna.
Chu Mingcheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Jiang Luoluo, who was practicing dance, to come over.
At present, the space of the refrigerated compartment is not full, after all, the foam box can be stacked.
Secondly, the size of the rice-sized bull'eye mackerel that is placed outside is also much smaller than that of tuna.
When they were all frozen into popsicles under ultra-low temperature freezing, Chu Mingcheng also deliberately cleaned up and piled them into a hill.
So it's perfectly fine to keep some tuna in the refrigerated tank, and it's a big deal to stack it up.
Two or three hundred catties of fish normal people can't hold it, can he still not hold it?
After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Luoluo ran over: "What's the urgency, let me come over immediately?"
"There's a school of tuna behind you, and you're in the wheelhouse watching the boat, and I'm going fishing." Chu Mingcheng handed her the binoculars and pointed to the tuna at the stern of the boat.
"So lucky?" Jiang Luoluo picked up the binoculars and observed, looking surprised, "Then you go quickly, I'll stay in the cab."
"Hmm." Chu Mingcheng didn't waste time, and immediately went to take out the heavy trolling rod that he had bought but had been useless.
As for the fishing wheel, he hesitated for a moment between the electric winch and the drum wheel, and finally chose the drum wheel.
The electric winch is indeed much easier to fish, but in the case of your own strength, it is better to operate with the practical drum wheel of trolling.
After all, the tuna that followed was not small, but it was not as good as the ones caught before.
There are still many baits in the refrigerated cabin, and the mackerel bait is almost useless at present, and there are more than 700 catties.
The little fish were all used up, and the spiny pomfret was all frozen, except for being used as bait, and the rest was fed to the sea lions.
Therefore, what is currently placed in the second living water tank is an orchid crab, which is about more than 100 catties. There are also hundreds of catties that are placed in two fish boxes, and they will not die for the time being with oxygen.
However, this will be trolling, Chu Mingcheng doesn't need these baits at all, he took out the iron plate bait, and the current situation is the most suitable for use.
Install a heavy-duty trolling rod inside the hole and then attach the iron plate bait still into the water.
When the line cup was opened, the fishing line was immediately released, and it took about 30 meters to lock the line cup again.
The Poseidon continued to sail, and the iron plate bait was pulled by the power, like a small fish speeding on the water, which instantly attracted the attention of many predators chasing the fishing boat.
The tuna is much faster than the Poseidon, and when they are attracted by the iron bait, they immediately burst out at great speed.
"Squeak squeak~"
The rod bent down suddenly, and the drum wheel was pulled with an overwhelming sound.
The fish was hooked, Chu Mingcheng immediately grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and lifted the stinging fish, and then grabbed the crank handle with his right hand and spun it quickly.
A tuna is only a small kung fu before it is revealed on the water.
It looked helpless and wanted to struggle, but it was pulled by the power of the Poseidon and couldn't stabilize its body at all.
Of course, this also has the credit of Chu Mingcheng.
He turned the grip to retract the line, so that the tuna could not turn around against the momentum, otherwise it would not be a problem for him to pull a few hundred meters of line out.
The crank is actually quite heavy, and it is not easy to turn.
Chu Mingcheng's arm was a little sore after continuing to turn around for dozens of times, and he slowed down a little, because the fish was almost at the stern.
The tuna that was hard-pulled over did not consume much physical strength at all, and at this time, the tail swung hard, and jumped from time to time, trying to get rid of the hook in the mouth, and it was not peaceful.
Therefore, when it was about to come to the stern, Chu Mingcheng let go of the fishing rod with his left hand first, then picked up the hook next to it and stretched the hook out of the boat to prepare.
When you're ready, use your right hand again to keep the tuna closer.
The size of this tuna is not bad, based on his experience, it is about 100 catties.
This is also the reason why he directly used brute force to pull the fish back, and he was not too worried that the fishing line would not be able to withstand breaking.
After turning the crank a dozen times, the tuna finally came within reach of the hook.
Chu Mingcheng saw the opportunity and hooked the fish brain accurately.
The blood of the tuna burst forth, staining the snow-white waves and leaving a long blood-colored foam.
And the moment he hooked the tuna, Chu Mingcheng's right hand released the crank.
Then he grabbed the long handle of the hook with both hands, and with a lot of energy, he directly lifted the tuna.
A hundred pounds of tuna flicked its tail in the air and fell over the side of the ship and fell on the deck.
Chu Mingcheng put the hook aside, immediately took out the iron plate bait on the side of the tuna's mouth and threw it back into the water, adjusted the distance and waited for the next fateful fish.
Only then did he begin to bleed and gut the yellowfin tuna.
That's right, chasing the Poseidon is a group of yellowfin tuna, which is the most common in China.
At present, Chu Mingcheng can't encounter bluefin tuna and blackfin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean for the time being, and the only thing that can be encountered in China is a kind of green sweet tuna.
But this kind of green sweet tuna will hardly exceed fifty catties, and he really doesn't know whether this fish is a fish from the boutique book or a fish from the tuna book.
If it is counted in the tuna chart
Jiannei, then he can't fish.
It's obviously not cost-effective to deduct experience points for a small amount of money, so you'll have to see the details after you catch them.
Although the price of yellowfin tuna is not high, it is a kind of fish that Chu Mingcheng likes to encounter.
After all, bigeye tuna and bluefin tuna are too hard to come across, and the only ones that are still large are yellowfin tuna.
In Chu Mingcheng's eyes, albacore tuna is not large, at most medium-sized.
The internal organs were taken out and thrown directly into the sea, and before the fish blood was finished, the heavy tow rod bent down again.
Hit the fish again, very efficient.
Ignoring the continued bloodletting, Chu Mingcheng immediately got up and grabbed the fishing rod to stab the fish.
At present, the fish following the boat still have physical strength, and their stomachs are not full.
When they get tired or their stomachs are full, they will naturally leave, so Chu Mingcheng must hurry.
Time passed slowly, and the sun rose higher and higher, gradually coming to the hottest time of the day.
The iron bait was speeding on the surface of the water, and it had not moved for more than twenty minutes.
It took more than two hours to fish in the morning, and it was until eleven o'clock.
After running out of fish, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to dispose of the seven tuna piled up on the deck and put them all in the cold cabin.
I caught seven hundred-pound yellowfin tuna in more than two hours, which is very efficient.
It's a pity that the fish is too slow to take the bait, which slows down the progress, otherwise Chu Mingcheng can catch more in two hours.
At present, the experience value of the tuna has reached 16 points, and you can upgrade with four more.
But tonight they will return to the Xiashi Wharf, Chu Mingcheng doesn't think they will meet again in the afternoon, so if they want to upgrade, they will have to wait for the next time they go to sea.
went to the kitchen to make lunch, and after the two ate, Jiang Luoluo stopped practicing dance in the afternoon, so he accompanied him in the cockpit.
It may be a little boring, but she watched the TV series.
As a result, seeing that he was lying on the sofa and falling asleep, Chu Mingcheng looked at this scene with amusement, and went to get a blanket to cover her.
There is an air conditioner in the cab, but it can't be frozen.
...
The sky gradually darkened, and the sleeping Jiang Luoluo turned over and let out a coquettish moan.
Then he stretched out his arms and sat up in the fog.
After looking at Chu Mingcheng who was sitting on the chair, she looked out the window again.
The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened: "Ah Cheng, what time is it?"
"It's already past six o'clock, and it is estimated that it will take a while to get to the dock, and I have already sent them to Crescent Island."
"Oh, little black, they've all been sent back? I've slept for so long?"
"Well, you may be tired after going to sea for so many days."
Jiang Luoluo looked at Chu Mingcheng, who was in high spirits, and was suddenly a little speechless: "I have been out to sea for so many days, and you are still fishing and working tirelessly every day, but your spirit is so good, so it will make me look very squeamish."
"Uh..." Chu Mingcheng was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that he didn't seem to be right like this, so he pretended to be very tired and hammered his waist, "Actually, I'm also very tired."
Jiang Luoluo looked at the place where he hammered, and said quietly, "It seems that you still have to blame me, you see, you are tired of your waist..."
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Chu Mingcheng suddenly choked on a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and his daughter-in-law's ability to be yin and yang was rising!
"Okay, I won't tease you!" Seeing him like this, Jiang Luoluo shook his head amusedly and got up, and after passing over, his whole body lay on his back, "What do you want to eat at night?"
"Hmm~ Anyway, it's almost home, why don't we have a snack first, and then we will call Ah Wei and them to have a supper together? I won't be able to sell the fish tonight." Chu Mingcheng said after thinking about it.
Tonight they can only continue to live on the ship, one is that there is no one at home to clean up, and second, the refrigerated cabin has to be kept open.
Although it is possible to work independently, it is better for people to be on board with so many fish.
"Okay! That's me
Go to the kitchen and get something to eat." Jiang Luoluo didn't have any opinions, let go of his hand and went to the kitchen to get some snacks and drinks to eat together.
Chu Mingcheng also took the opportunity to inform Zhang Wei and them, asking them to come to the dock with their stomachs and have dinner together.
When they heard that he was back, they were also very happy and said that they would come to the dock immediately.
Of course, it was not only them who were notified, but also Wei Jiaguo.
At half past seven in the evening, the Poseidon broke away from the cruising state and changed to a manual state, and its speed was also reduced by half, and it slowly leaned towards the dock.
The first thing he did when he returned to the dock, Chu Mingcheng went to fill up the gas first, which cost twenty-three thousand.
This trip to the sea often looks for tuna, and the fuel cost is a lot.
But the price is also worth it, selling a few yellow fins can make the capital back.
This is not the time when the fishing boats return to port, and there are no people at the docks.
But Wei Jiaguo and Zhang Wei were already waiting, and after the Poseidon docked, they immediately came over.
Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo walked out of the cabin and greeted them respectively.
However, Wei Jiaguo came to get the moray eel today, so he entertained the other party first.
"Ah Gong, that's it, look at it, the vitality is still very good."
Wei Jiaguo glanced at the moray eel, and then began to look at the Poseidon.
After walking around, he nodded, "The boat is good, what fish did you catch this time, show it to me."
"Caught some tuna, followed by bull'seye bass. Of course, these stinging shrimps, spider crabs and the like are also rare, so you can pick up some if you are interested."
Wei Jiaguo looked at the spider crab and the spiny armored shrimp, showed an interested look, and asked for some.
Of course, he looked at all the living water tanks, and he saw these two things.
Then he went to the refrigerated cabin to look at Chu Mingcheng's harvest.
A dozen tuna and a bunch of black fish inside silenced him.
In particular, the huge and conspicuous bluefin tuna made him want to buy it.
But thinking about the fact that this fish costs at least hundreds of thousands, even he will be reluctant to pay such a high price.
It doesn't seem so necessary to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to brag in front of old friends.
Therefore, he finally asked for the largest bull's-eye green bass, which was one meter six long and weighed one hundred and three pounds.
