Chapter Seventy-Seven: How to Eat Monkfish

The fishing boat on the other side of Shuiwang encountered an accident, and the fishing net hung on the reef at the bottom of the sea and was torn.

Without a spare net, they could only watch Zhang Yaohua catch fish here. Fortunately, they also caught about 3,000 catties, so they didn't return empty-handed.

Next, they had to run along.

Zhang Yaohua's side did not stop chasing fish until the cabin could not fit it.

"If only it were a big ship." Zhang Yaowei said.

Small fishing boats are not only inefficient in fishing, they can't go far, and their full load is also small. Right now, they're really desperate to build a big ship.

Like today, if it is a medium-sized fishing boat, a hundred or a few tens of tons is not a big problem. The fish they encountered this time were very large, and they were busy for most of the day, and I am afraid that they only caught a few tenths.

Those top-notch large fishing boats, with a net of two or three hundred tons and a full load of more than 6,000 tons, are simply giants.

"Yes!"

The one who felt the most was undoubtedly Ah Jiu.

Looking at the distant fish, it was like the feeling of RMB floating away in the wind, and I felt terrible.

Zhang Yaohua twisted his stiff old waist and shouted, "Okay, go back!" The bird poop is wiped and looks unsightly. ”

When the fish were harvested just now, another seabird landed, but it was also a rule, and instead of grabbing food, they waited for the humans to feed them. Zhang Yaohua saw that they were sensible, so he fed them the small fish and shrimp that he caught.

It's just that they are a little unparticular about eating and pulling at the same time.

Ah Jiu was very self-conscious and knew that his second uncle was going to drive the boat, so he took on the job of cleaning the ship's board.

Today's fishing gave him a great shock, and he also strengthened his determination to work together. Originally, I was a little worried, after all, all the deposits were smashed, and if I lost, a family of three or four would have to drink porridge.

Before he came, he also talked to his parents at home, and his eldest brother and others advised him not to be impulsive.

Out of trust in his eldest brother, he still wants to fight.

It seems that he was right.

Back in the village and ashore, Shui Wang scolded, "I'm fed up with this boat." ”

Last time it was the boat that broke down, this time the net was not good, how much money did you make less?

Zhang Yaohua reserved the monkfish and two boss fish, planning to take them home to eat. The rest was processed to Daliang, and more than 100,000 yuan was recorded in the account.

The two Shuiwang brothers are about 60,000.

Today's boss fish price fell slightly, and Daliang only gave 20 yuan. Shuiwang specially called to ask the price in the town, and the landing price was also about 20 yuan.

"Shui Wang, are you going to the town street?" Zhang Yaohua asked.

Shui Wang nodded: "Buy something, does Brother Hua want to buy anything?" I'll bring it back for you by the way. ”

"Help me with that courier, I'll send you the pickup code. Oh! By the way, let's buy a few pieces of tofu by the way! Zhang Yaohua told him.

After the mobile phone has a signal, I see the courier information.

The express delivery in their village is only delivered to the town streets, and they need to go to the town to get it, and they will not be delivered to their homes. Two days ago, he bought something online.

Only the postal service will be delivered to every village, slow is a little slower, but the postal service is not black.

"At this time, don't buy tofu! I guess there was a taste. Is buying tofu to stew boss fish? Raise it first! Eat again tomorrow. Shui Wang suggested.

He tried to buy tofu on the street the night after, and when he brought it home, he found that it had changed its taste. He estimated that the tofu was made in the morning, and now that the weather is hot, it is easy to spoil the taste.

Zhang Yaowei also spoke: "Yes! Brother, the last time I bought lean meat on the street, it also tasted bad, and I was scolded by my mother for two days. ”

"Okay! Then forget about the tofu. "Zhang Yaohua is a person who listens to persuasion.

The boss fish he reserved deliberately picked two that were still alive, so it would not be a big problem to keep them until tomorrow.

Zhang Yaohua sent the pickup code to Shui Wang's WeChat.

When he got home, Zhang Yaohua ran to take a shower, while Zhang Yaowei dealt with the monkfish, and Ah Jiu watched from the sidelines, learning from experience.

Monkfish weigh six or seven pounds, and the portion is not small.

"Ahh Don't want fish skin? The fish skin is delicious! Ah Jiu couldn't help but say.

He likes to eat fish skin, which is gelatinous and very smooth.

Zhang Yaowei shook his head: "No, the skin of monkfish is relatively thick, not to mention that it is difficult to cook, and the taste is not good." ”

After speaking, he also chopped off the head of the fish.

"Don't want a fish head?"

Boy! His favorite fish skins and fish heads, none of them.

"This fish head is full of bones, and it is a bone with spikes, so it is of little value." Zhang Yaowei told Ah Jiu that monkfish used to be rarely eaten, mainly because it was ugly.

Later, some people said that foreigners liked this fish, and the number of people who ate it gradually increased.

The belly was cleaned, the skin of the fish was peeled off, and the head of the fish was cut off, and there seemed to be not much left of a fish that was originally quite large.

"Speaking of ugliness, the stonefish is even more bumpy than it, and both fish are ugly in appearance, but they taste delicious. However, the price of the two is very different. ”

The stonefish has a terrifying shape and an ugly body, like a stone, lying dormant in the rocks of the seabed, and is not easy to be detected.

"It's ugly enough, what's uglier than it?" Ah Jiu couldn't imagine what it looked like.

"Imagine a toad, almost a level, and it's poisonous."

The body of the stonefish is thick and round and has many nodulous protrusions, which really resemble the skin of a toad, and the eyes are very special, long on the back and very small, with a deep depression under the eyes.

It is said that it is the most poisonous fish in the world, the protective color of the stonefish blends perfectly with the bottom of the sea, it does not actively attack its prey, and when it is close to it, its venom will cause the prey to be paralyzed or even killed.

There is no breeding of stonefish for the time being, so the price is very high, more than 100 yuan per catty.

The price of monkfish is not even a fraction of what other people's houses are.

It is also ugly, and the price is very different.

Fishermen would rather have one stonefish than ten monkfish.

Zhang Yaohua took a shower and came out of the shower, and shouted at the two: "There is still hot water, which of you is going to flush it?" ”

Despite the hot weather, Zhang Yaohua is still used to taking hot water. When I was studying, I would only wait in line for hot water on particularly cold days.

Especially when he was in junior high school, Zhang Yaohua admired himself a little when he looked back.

When I was in junior high school, the conditions of the school were really poor. Not to mention hot water, even cold water cannot be supplied, and the dormitory often cuts off the water, asking them to carry buckets to the faucet next to the canteen and wait for water.

At that time, he still lived on the sixth floor, miserable!

Once, when I reached the fourth floor, I slipped and the bucket of water was gone.

"Second brother, go! I take a shower with cool water. Ah Jiu said.

In this kind of weather, he didn't dare to take hot water, I was afraid that he would sweat while taking a bath, so what is the difference between washing and not washing?

"Zhang Yuanhang, take a shower." Zhang Yaowei shouted outside.

He also didn't want to take a hot bath.

Zhang Yuanhang should still be playing crazy in the village, and when the countryside calls the children home, they all shout directly, and almost the whole village can hear it, and rarely go to find someone in person.

Parents went to find it in person, and the consequences were a bit serious, and almost all of them went with whips.
