Chapter 230: The Forgotten King of Coconut Snails

The cabin was already full of fish, and the longline was all used up, Zhang Ze did not plan to go to the coordinates given by Tong Yuanhang, but chose to go back to sell fish first.

Now that he owes a lot of money, he still has to make good use of his time, and he can't waste a day or two because of his curiosity about the coordinates.

There will always be a period of time every month when you can't go to sea due to various conditions such as weather, Zhang Ze has to take advantage of the recent weather to go to sea a lot, and you have to be diligent.

Jin Sanbao and Tong Yuanhang went to sea a day early, and the ship was also full of harvest at this time, and when they saw that he was going back, they also went back with him.

Especially Jin Sanbao them, the boat is small and the endurance is not enough, in case the waves are too long to pay attention to the consumption of diesel on the ship, and there is no boat around, it is likely that they will not be able to come back.

Only the boat that followed Zhang Ze or Tong Yuanhang next to them did the three of them dare to come to the open sea to fish.

Back in the fishing village, he asked people to help inform the two brothers, Lin Long and Lin Hu.

After most of the time, neither of them came, but in the end, the third sister hurriedly ran over and told him that the two brothers had gone to the mountain to get traps for game, and she had already asked her brother to wait for them at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Ze was stunned, was he too good to these two brothers and let them be so idle?

But thinking about it, if he usually has nothing to do in the village, not to mention that Lin Long and Lin Hu can't stay, he himself will not be able to stand it and do something.

However, when he learned that they were going to the mountains to engage in game, Zhang Ze still raised some interest.

In a few years, many wild animals will not be able to be hunted legally, and they will want to eat and buy some farmed ones.

In this age of lack of entertainment, it seems that it is not bad to learn how to hunt.

There's just no way to get a shotgun, and it would be even better if you had this.

Originally, Zhang Ze was going to go back at night, but now he changed his mind and planned to stay in the village first, and follow Lin Long and them into the mountain tomorrow.

So he handed over the longline to Jin Sambo and told him to go back after his work, while he sold some of the catch to Jin Guangcheng on the boat.

In fact, the catch he sells to Jin Guangcheng is getting less and less, and they are all ordinary goods.

Originally, he also sold ordinary groupers such as blue spots, but now that Zhao Xianghua accepts them all, Zhang Ze naturally has to sell them from the restaurant, after all, he is his own person, and the price is higher.

But Sinar Mas is willing to come over to collect fish, even if his seafood business has become bigger and bigger, and his monthly income is already very considerable.

Others are willing to collect it, and Zhang Ze naturally will not drive people away.

It's all the same village, and the other party is also polite to him, so there is no need to deteriorate the relationship.

But now he is not the only seafood seller, other dealers come to collect his catch, but he politely refuses.

After Jin Guangcheng left and there was no one on the boat, Zhang Ze came to the living water tank to collect the fish into the space to rejuvenate himself.

The three growth and transformation of the fish king have been taken out by him, except for the seven-banded grouper lying in the refrigerator cabin, he has to pay attention to the remaining two living eastern star groupers and mouse spots, for fear that one of the accidentally fish will be cold.

Even if the aeration pump of the living water tank is always on, it is still unknown whether the fish can stay alive, mainly because these two fish kings are too large and too precious.

After waiting for almost an hour, Lin Long and Lin Hu were finally late.

Lin Long came up and was about to apologize, but Zhang Ze waved his hand to stop him.

The time of his return is uncertain, and it is really unrealistic for people to wait at home all the time and not do their own things, as long as they can rush back.

"There was a bit of a lot of catch today, and I might not be able to fit a cart. So I'll send the fish in the reefer first, and I'll not go. ”

However, when Lin Long and Lin Hu opened the refrigerator and saw a large number of tuna and the huge seven-banded grouper, his mouth opened unconsciously, and his jaw seemed to fall to the ground.

"Aze, you don't go over, the price of these fish."

Lin Long hesitated, how could they determine the price of tuna and such a big grouper, and they didn't know how to negotiate the price if the boss didn't go over.

Zhang Ze seemed to see their scruples, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the price, you send the fish over, just remember the weight, I will call Brother Zhao later, and then we will talk about the price." ”

He and Zhao Xianghua have become partners, and the price no longer needs to be negotiated in person.

When the two brothers heard him say this, they were immediately relieved, and then the three of them carried the fish to the truck one by one.

They are all adult males with great strength, and the tuna is directly carried out one by one without a crane.

The only trouble is the grouper, but compared to the last manta ray, it is only pediatric, and it can be easily done with a crane.

The fish in the refrigerated compartment were frozen hard, and when they stacked the tuna, they found that there was enough space in the truck, and the tuna did not take up as much space as they thought.

The other deep-sea fish didn't take up much space, so they simply transported all the fish in the live water tank, just enough to fill the box of live fish in the truck.

After turning on the aeration pump, Lin Hu started the truck and drove to the restaurant, and Lin Long sat in the co-pilot.

Zhang Ze also specially instructed them to pack a table of banquets from the restaurant and come back, and in the evening he planned to call Jin Sanbao and his brother-in-law to drink overwork.

Seeing the delivery truck leave, he called the family who had cleaned the fishing boat before, and asked them to clean the fishing boat inside and out, and let them take away the quilt and clean it in the room.

He himself went back to the house in the fishing village, drank a little wine tonight, and went to the mountains tomorrow, and by the time he was about to go to sea, it was estimated that the quilt had already dried.

After returning to the house, Zhang Ze called Zhao Xianghua as soon as possible, telling him about the catch and a large amount of bluefin tuna.

Hearing that there was a bluefin tuna and three precious kingfish, Zhao Xianghua was overjoyed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival manta ray feast did bring a batch of heat to the restaurant, but the heat has dropped almost in the past half a month, and this batch of fish is too timely for him.

Zhang Ze knew the weight of the king of fish, so the two discussed the price on the phone.

The three fish kings sold a total of 18,000, which was about 3,000 higher than Zhang Ze expected.

Bluefin tuna could not be sold at a high price in China, but after Zhao Xianghua asked the manager to investigate, he still gave a price of two yuan and three catties.

Of course, the price was not negotiated over the phone, after all, it took some time for the manager to go to the market research.

Zhang Ze didn't care too much about this, he knew that Zhao Xianghua would not let himself suffer.

It's not that the other party is really so generous and doesn't treat money as money.

It's because the quality of the catch he gives is so good, Zhao Xianghua has opened a restaurant for so long, and he has never seen anyone's seafood so well preserved, let alone a large number of live fish.

He knew that Zhang Ze had his own special methods and secrets, but he had never explored them.

He doesn't go out to sea to fish, so why did he get this secret? And Zhang Ze is not muddy.

Therefore, when the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu came back, they not only brought a table of good dishes, but also brought more than 30,000 yuan.

The three kings of fish and tuna alone cost nearly 30,000 yuan, plus other catches, it is normal to exceed 30,000.

Zhang Ze was also happy with this explosion of income, and at night he poured down all the men on the spot, not only drinking five bottles of liquor, but also drinking two small jars of rice wine bought from the villagers.

The degree of rice wine is not high, mainly because of the good taste, which Zhang Ze likes.

If you get people drunk, you have to be liquor.

The next day, even Zhang Ze slept until three poles in the sun, and after getting up, his whole body was full of alcohol, which was because the body discharged all the alcohol, and it was all in the quilt.

He looked at the weather outside, it was sunny and sunny, so he took the quilt to the window to dry.

When he returns to the city, let Lin Long arrange for someone to clean up the house.

A big fishing village with many poor people.

Although Zhang Ze will not directly give money to subsidize, he will basically find these people for any work, so that they can have an extra income.

Because of this, he is very popular in the village.

I went downstairs and drank a bowl of water, and then started making lunch in the kitchen.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Hei was screaming with hunger.

There were still some bones from last night, so he diluted the spices on them with water, and then threw them to it and let it gnaw first.

I looked at the space and got a fish to eat at noon.

But the next moment, Zhang Ze looked stunned, and then slapped his forehead.

There was a huge coconut snail in the corner of the space, and he had forgotten about something as big as a small basin.

Gotta eat this at noon!

As soon as my heart moved, the coconut snail appeared in a large basin.

Big is really big, and it is estimated that it can't be boiled in one pot.

Looking at the huge shell of the coconut snail, Zhang Ze felt that it was a pity to smash it.

He may not be able to encounter such a huge coconut snail king in his life, so let's try to see if he can take out the snail meat inside.

So he washed the coconut snails, poured water into the pot, and put the coconut snails whole.

It takes at least 40 minutes to cook this, or even an hour to cook, and this is still a firewood stove in his house, which is fierce.

If you change to a gas stove, you don't know how much gas you need.

The coconut snail was boiling, Lin Long came in with a yawn, and he was a little surprised to see Zhang Ze cooking something in the kitchen.

"Aze, why did you start making lunch? Don't do it, don't do it, the third sister bought vegetables and came over, and she will go to my side to eat later! ”

"We'll go into the mountain in the afternoon, I laid a lot of traps with Ah Hu yesterday, we should be able to catch something."

"The third sister is really virtuous, don't let her down." Hearing that the third sister specially bought vegetables and came over to make lunch, Zhang Ze couldn't help but sigh.

Although the two have been engaged to get married and get married at the end of the year, the third sister often comes over to take care of these two brothers, and indeed a heart is tied to Lin Long.

This kind of good girl can't live up to it, otherwise she will jump into the river to show you every minute.

"No, it won't." Lin Long had happiness in his eyes, but his tone was firm.

Zhang Ze nodded, still very relieved of him.

"I have a big snail boiling in the pot, and you can call me when lunch is ready. By the way, prepare a lunch for Xiao Hei too, this guy didn't eat hungry in the morning and gnawed on the bones. ”

Lin Long looked at Xiao Hei, who was buried in gnawing bones, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Hungry to gnaw bones?

Look, is this talking about human beings?

There are a lot of dogs in the village who are so hungry that they eat dirt!

Lin Long was about to go back after agreeing, but as soon as he turned around, he immediately turned back: "Aze, what kind of big snail is in your pot, why don't you take it next door and let the third sister burn it?" ”

"This snail is a bit big, I'll cook it first and then take it." Zhang Ze opened the lid of the pot and let the curious Lin Long take a look.

Seeing the coconut snails that couldn't be stuffed in the big iron pot, he suddenly gasped: "So big? ”

"Hey, that's a must. It's going to burn for half an hour, you go back first, I'll get it over here. Zhang Ze sneered slightly, but did not tell him his ultimate goal.

Eating snail meat was secondary, and the most important thing was that he wanted to see if there would be mela beads in such a large coconut snail.

After all, the snail is so big, hopefully it looks bigger.

Of course, this matter is not absolute, because many coconut snails of more than ten catties and twenty catties do not have melodial beads in them, but some small snails are opened.

The appearance of mellot beads is not necessarily related to the size of the snail.

Lin Long didn't know that the beads could be opened in the coconut snail, even if the beads were opened in front of him, he didn't know the value of the Merlot beads.

Are there fewer examples of fishermen using ambergris as an ordinary stone?

After Lin Long left, Zhang Ze continued to guard the kitchen, waiting for the coconut snails to cook.

As for whether the mellot beads may change color due to the high temperature, he is not worried.

The highest temperature in China is 100 degrees Celsius, and it will not make any changes in the beads.

Otherwise, he would have taken out the beads directly, and he would cook them first.

The waiting time passed quickly, Zhang Ze opened the lid of the pot and poked the coconut snail meat with chopsticks, which was very elastic and looked like it was cooked.

Then he brought the basin against the side of the pot and pushed the coconut snail up with a large spoon.

The coconut snail was still steaming, but it wasn't a big problem, so he poured cold water into it to cool down.

After changing the water twice, the surface temperature of the coconut snail dropped to a level that could be accepted by the hand.

As for the high temperature inside, Zhang Ze can't manage it so much for the time being, and he doesn't know how long it will take to completely cool down inside.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to keep such a large snail shell, he wouldn't have had to go to such trouble.

Zhang Ze took out the coconut snail, dried the indicated moisture with a towel, then hugged the snail with his right hand, and reached in with his left hand to grab the snail meat.

"Drink~"

With both hands, the whole snail meat should be pulled out of the shell.

Dragging the snail meat is also a fun part of playing with coconut snails.

In later generations, some grandmothers specially filmed videos of dragging snail meat, and only a few catties of coconut snails brought out their strength to eat milk.

Now Zhang Ze is facing the coconut snail king weighing dozens of pounds, and he said unceremoniously that he has also used all the strength to eat milk.

Such a big coconut snail, if it were replaced by someone else, it would basically be the end of smashing the shell.

However, in the face of Zhang Ze, who broke out with all his might, the coconut snail only lasted for half a minute, and the whole piece of snail meat was all pulled out.

"Hiss~hot."

The moment it was pulled out, the screw tail also brought out a lot of water inside.

Zhang Ze didn't expect that he was so cooled, the water temperature inside was still so high, and the instep of his slippers was suddenly burned.

Fortunately, the hot sensation of that moment passed quickly.

Putting the huge snail shell on the table, Zhang Ze took the snail meat back to the kitchen, and then picked up the kitchen knife.
