Chapter 166: A Chance Encounter with a Whaling Ship
When passing through Nansha, Zhang Yaohua and the others rested for most of the day, and then continued to move forward.
During this time, they came across a school of sardines, a large area of black pressing, but ignored them.
Originally, they went to the resources of the high seas, and they could keep them in their own waters first; On the other hand, sardines are not very valuable, and Zhang Yaohua is a little disdainful.
As soon as they reached the high seas, they saw the whaling ships of the island nation killing whales.
Wen Wenjun hurriedly filmed that scene and prepared to make it public.
After filming this, it was worth it for him to go to sea and suffer this time.
"It's really inhumane, whales kill too."
"Doesn't it mean that the islanders are rich? We don't even like whale meat, they actually specialize in hunting. Someone asked.
No matter how the outside world condemns it, Xiao Ri still goes his own way, insisting on hunting whales, as if whales have dug their ancestral graves, and they will never die.
"People say, do you believe it? It is said that small days love the environment, what did it look like before? Is it not yet blatant and wastewater discharge? Damn it! Now we don't dare to go north. ”
"What the teacher said before, can you not believe it?" The man said aggrievedly.
It's true, when Zhang Yaohua was studying, there were indeed teachers who were advocating how good and good a small life was, and they were very yearning for a small life.
The impact of a teacher on a student is undoubtedly enormous.
To be honest, Zhang Yaohua also believed it at that time.
If you don't believe what the teacher says, what do you want the students to believe?
Zhang Yaohua: "Do you think you'll be fine if you don't go north?" They drain the sea, and they have global impact, but our side has been diluted by the ocean, and it is not so serious. ”
As for the killing of whales on small days, it is estimated that it is a habit.
For us, whale meat is not tasty and not very valuable.
But on the other side of the day, whaling has long become a habit, even a custom.
In ancient times, whaling on a small day was indeed to fill the stomach.
As we all know, Xiaori is a barren island country with poor resources, especially poor meat resources. They had a 300-year "meat ban" period, where they were forbidden to eat any animal meat, and they could not turn their eyes to the sea.
Naturally, the whale became the primary target, after all, it was large enough to kill a whale to meet at least one tribe's food needs.
Not to mention, in the forties of the last century, that is, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, 47% of the total amount of animal protein eaten in Xiaori came from whales, which shows how dependent Xiaori was on whale meat at that time.
In addition, it is rumored that in the process of whaling, Xiao Ri actually developed a belief that it was a kind of national pride that humans had conquered animals so much larger than themselves.
Nowadays, only 4 percent of the day still eats whale meat, but they still insist on whaling, obviously not to eat that whale meat.
"Besides, just because whale meat is not tasty doesn't mean it's worthless." Zhang Yaohua added.
He told everyone that the rest of the whale's body was expensive.
First of all, whale oil occupies a pivotal position, especially in industrial development, which is no less than oil. If the oil hadn't been discovered in time, the whales would have been wiped out.
Secondly, whale skin should be the most valuable part of the whale's body, and various leather products made of it are deeply loved by people.
I heard that it has become an industry that has created a lot of jobs for the island nation, so it's no wonder that it can be easily abandoned.
Not only that, but their government also subsidizes the whale industry by billions of dollars a year.
The government is doing this, and the people can imagine it.
"It's a pity that you can't connect to the Internet, otherwise you'll expose them now." Wen Wenjun watched the sea water near the whaling ship be dyed red, and he was shivering and cold.
It is estimated that it is soon, and Huawei is doing it.
If you can make a phone call today, you may be able to access the Internet in two years.
The strong smell of blood also attracted a lot of sharks.
"! Look, they're not coming for us, are they? Suddenly, someone on the boat exclaimed.
I saw the huge whaling ship rushing towards Zhang Yaohua's fleet.
What's the matter?
Seeing that the dirty things you did were discovered, you want to destroy the corpse?
"Let's go." Zhang Yaohua said as he activated the golden finger and suspended the whaling ship on the sea.
The brain is only hard to get into the water and the whaling ship is not of the same magnitude.
Zhang Yaohua thought to himself, next time he buys a bigger one, see who is afraid of whom, and if he is not satisfied, he will do it.
After a day of wandering, they finally made a discovery.
"It's a dumbfounded, get off the net."
The people on board took action.
It's time to hunt.
It's also a time to make money, and they go to great lengths to come here, isn't that what they're all about?
There was an uplifted, excited look on everyone's faces.
Confused boy is their name here, this kind of fish is really called cobia, there are distributions along the coast of our country, and there are relatively few wild ones. Many of the ones on the market now are farmed.
Cobia is a carnivorous fish, with more spines and less meat, which is suitable for the elderly and children. Because of its high meat content and good nutritional quality, cobia has high nutritional value and medicinal value.
Fresh cobia does not need too much seasoning, and steaming is the best way to maintain the original umami of the fish, which retains the nutrition of the fish to the greatest extent, and takes into account the delicious taste, which is convenient and quick to operate.
"What is the price of cobia now?" Someone asked.
"Forty or fifty yuan in the seafood market, we wholesale it, and it is estimated that it is about thirty yuan." The person familiar with the market replied.
"I've made a fortune, so much."
I saw that the surrounding waters were full of these fish, and the number of them probably exceeded 100,000.
You must know that this kind of fish is not small, generally more than ten catties, including many large fish weighing dozens of catties.
Both captains were amazed, and it was the first time they had seen so many cobia in the wild.
They knew that there were very few fishermen who specialized in cobia because they didn't come in many groups, and it was pure luck to catch some occasionally.
At present, cobia are mainly farmed.
Moreover, the farmed cobia basically looks at China, and more than ninety percent of the farmed cobia come from China.
Like Hainan Island, deep-sea anti-wind and wave cages are basically used, and because of the good water quality, the farmed cobia is similar to wild stocking.
Sashimi made with cobia is pure white, and the meat is thick and fine, smooth but not greasy, and completely comparable to salmon.
"This kind of fish is not very common in the market." Wen Wenjun also helped pick up the fish.
Zhang Yaohua nodded: "There is not much consumption in the domestic market, mainly exports, such as Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. ”
Both small days and sticks like to eat cobia and consume a lot.
This net directly dried about 20,000 catties.
A big ship is a big ship, and one net is enough for everyone to pick it up for a while.
If calculated according to 30 yuan a catty, this net is more than 600,000 yuan, and the bonus of the crew is more than 6,000, no wonder everyone is enthusiastic.
