November 5th, sunny with light fog.

"Mazu bless!" Ah Jiu bowed in the direction of the Tianhou Temple.

He had been to worship before, how could people who want to go to sea not worship Mazu? Although he did not have this belief before, he followed the local customs.

The fishing boat departed.

The people on the ship were all full of anticipation, hoping to return with a full load. If you are lucky, you can earn more than one million at a time, boring is a little boring, but making money is fast! Everyone can tolerate it.

Zhang Yaowei whistled.

"Here, eat watermelon." Ah Hui cut the watermelon.

"Ahh Early in the morning, eat watermelon? No. ”

Ah Jiu waved his hand, he was tired of eating watermelon. If it's a unicorn melon, it's fine, but this kind of watermelon has a lot of seeds, so I'm not interested. Next to his house, I don't know who lost a few seeds, and they grew a lot, so they didn't bother to pick them.

Zhang Yaowei: "Don't forget it, three yuan a catty!" ”

"Huh? Three dollars a pound? We're three dollars a piece. ”

"What's the comparison? You're the place of origin. If you're going to do that, we'll have to compare seafood. Shui Wang said.

Soon after, the light fog cleared and the wind was beautiful.

Looking at the endless sea, Ah Jiu suddenly sighed: "The sea is so big. ”

The others were speechless.

Isn't this nonsense? Moaning without disease.

"Looks like it's not going to rain today." He also said that the weather forecast said that there would be light rain today.

"It's best if it doesn't rain!"

In fact, for fishermen, rain is nothing, what they are really afraid of is the wind. Wind and waves are much more terrible than heavy rain. Even if they change to this medium-sized fishing boat now, they will have to take a break in the event of strong winds and waves, and the Sea Dragon King invites them to drink tea.

However, it didn't take long.

"! You have a poisonous mouth, right? Shui Wang looked at Ah Jiu.

I saw a gust of rain quickly approaching them from a distance, and it didn't seem to be small.

"What? What does it have to do with me? I just said that there is no rain, and the weather forecast says that there will be rain, so it seems that the weather forecast is still accurate. "Ah Jiu doesn't carry this pot.

After a shower of rain, the sky was bluer.

At noon, Ah Jiu was in charge of making food. Of them, he is the best cook. The big ship is good, there is a special kitchen, and the space is not small.

"Isn't there pork? Eating seafood? Shui Wang and the others looked at it and didn't understand.

Ah Jiu Zhenzhen said: "There is seafood, what kind of pork do you eat?" ”

Everyone: "......"

"You'll understand later." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.

For people who go to sea, every meal is seafood, and they will really get tired of eating it. Don't talk about any seafood, you will get tired of eating dragon meat.

It's like a little thing about men and women, you face the same woman every night, no matter how good-looking she is, there will always be a day when she can't arouse sexual interest, and she always wants to taste something else.

It's not a question of whether it's beautiful or not.

"Okay, you don't cook either, people still talk so much when they're done." Ah Hui said something for Ah Jiu.

In the afternoon, a dead whale caught everyone's attention on the surface. Nearby, a group of sharks are eating whale meat. The fall of a whale can feed many marine creatures.

This reminds everyone of one word - whale fall.

Of course, this scene in front of me cannot be regarded as a real whale fall.

Whale drop refers to the phenomenon of whales sinking to the bottom of the sea after death, which is the whole process of whales from death to final decomposition.

It is said that a whale's carcass can support a circulatory system dominated by decomposers for up to a hundred years. Together with hydrothermal and cold springs, it is known as an "oasis" of deep-sea life.

The most we can see is the death of the whale, which is first fed by sea creatures such as great white sharks, and its body is mutilated and gradually sinks to the bottom of the sea. The rest of the meat is then eaten by other marine fish, crabs, shellfish, etc.

Do you think that's the end of it?

No, its most important part is to provide nutrients for microorganisms on the seabed, and bones still play an important role.

"Is whale meat good?" Ah Jiu asked.

"Although I haven't eaten it, I guess it's not delicious, and there is a lot of fat." Zhang Yaowei responded.

The older generation may have eaten it, and at that time, we also had whaling in our country, but there were not many.

"Doesn't it taste good? Then why do devils like to hunt whales so much? Even in disregard of international public opinion. Ah Jiu couldn't figure it out. Island countries are not poor, it stands to reason that they are not precious seafood, so they don't need to hunt whales under the pressure of public opinion, right?

Zhang Yaohua: "It doesn't have to be killed to eat!" Whales are still valuable, such as whale oil, etc. ”

Whale grease is the main raw material for a lubricating oil.

In addition, whales are full of treasures and have important economic value. Its body provides a large amount of whale meat, whale oil and other products, and a blue whale of about 100 tons is worth $10,000.

Whale meat accounts for about half of the whale's body weight, and in addition to being ground into coarse powder as feed or fertilizer, it can also be used for human consumption after processing, and is rich in protein.

In fact, it is not only the devils of the island countries who are rampant in hunting whales, but also Western countries such as Norway are also hunting in large quantities.

It is also a developed country! This is how the plundering of marine resources is carried out.

Ah Hui also spoke: "We don't like to eat, devils don't necessarily like it, maybe people's tastes are special!" It's like a saury. ”

The saury has a very high status in the hearts of the island people, and it can be called a national treasure, and many island people must have it for every meal, just like the kimchi of the stick family.

According to data, the number of saury consumed by island devils is about 400 million tons every year, and island people eat eighty percent of the saury consumed in the world.

It can be seen how important saury is to them.

Their research found that saury is particularly good for brain development, so island people call it brain gold and often eat it to replenish the brain. Of course, whether it's true or not, we don't know.

In our country, there are really not many people like to eat saury, and as a sea fish, saury has so many spines, which is really rare. Moreover, its fishy smell is still a bit big, and so much cumin on the barbecue can't cover its fishy smell.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yaohua and others really don't like to eat saury.

Zhang Yaohua said with a smile: "That's true, saury is people's national fish, and it is sold expensively." ”

Yes! The saury that costs more than 10 yuan a pound in our country can sometimes be sold for more than 10,000 yen in the island country, and even sold for a sky-high price of 100,000 yen per catty, which is almost 5,000 yuan!

Saury is also expensive in our country, but saury is an exception. Like the Yangtze River saury, it is said that it is also thousands of yuan a catty, and it may not be able to eat.

"If we take a boat and sell it to the island country, won't we make a fortune?" Ah Jiu couldn't help but say.

"It's too simple, it's not that easy to sell seafood to other countries."

Besides, other countries have certain import controls on foreign seafood. The devils of the island country are also doing everything possible to export seafood to our country!
