MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 24 Rice Grade Codfish
Chapter 24 Rice-level codfish
"Where is it?"
"Grass (a green plant), it's really yellow."
"No way, luck is so good?"
The other three men were all alarmed, and Chu Mingcheng and Zhang Wei hurried to the stern of the boat to watch the fish being pulled up gradually.
As a result, the yellow color does exist, but it is a little smaller.
After seeing what it was, Chu Mingcheng's face darkened: "Is there a possibility that the yellow croaker also has juniors?"
Zhang Wei sighed speechlessly, and went back to help pull the net.
Zhao Jun was the calmest, knowing that the chances of catching large yellow croakers here were very low. Even if the real net arrives, it is estimated that they escaped from the large yellow croaker breeding base around Dongting Island, and the price is not much higher.
Jiang Luoluo noticed the change in the expressions of the two, and knew that he had made a big oolong, and said embarrassingly: "It turns out that this is the little yellow croaker!"
"Yes, but the wild small yellow croaker is also good, I will take a few back later, let's fry them up and eat them at night, they are delicious."
Chu Mingcheng looked at the fish catch, there were not many small yellow croakers, there were a few big swimming crabs, and the rest were dragon head fish and some miscellaneous fish. It is estimated that they could only be sold as feed, and the first catch would be a loss.
Soon, the fishing nets were pulled up, Zhao Jun untied the rope tied to the tail, and poured out all the fish.
The swimming crabs and other small crabs that were still alive struggled desperately, and some of them lacked vitality and were buried in the fish pile.
The favorite fish-picking activity arrived, Chu Mingcheng handed the pliers to the two girls: "Sit here and pick out the big fish and the valuable ones."
"Like this red shrimp, even big ones can be sold. There are quite a lot of small squid, which can sell for thirty-five catties, and they are all picked out. People here like to eat them very much."
"I'll bring you a few plastic boxes, and you guys sort out the things and sort them out."
"Yeah, leave it to us." Jiang Luoluo took the pliers and nodded repeatedly, very interested in this job.
Looking at the pile of small fish in front of her, she felt like she was looking for treasure inside.
The two girls sat on the small bench and began to pick valuable fish. Zhao Jun lowered the fishing net again and continued to sail, heading for the second fishing net.
When the fishing net was pulled up, both Jiang Luoluo and Zhou Jiayi got up at the same time, leaning over to continue watching the fish.
Although the catches will be dumped on the deck later, they just have a kind of expectation that the fishing nets will be full of big fish, which will allow them to discover surprises in advance.
Unfortunately, the second net is similar to the first net, without a big fish.
It is also interesting that the same goes all the way to the fifth net.
Jiang Luoluo looked at the small hills of miscellaneous fish, but there were not many worthwhile fish, and felt a little unhappy.
Zhao Jun was pulling the sixth net, so she secretly pulled Chu Mingcheng to the stern: "Aren't we at a loss? How come there is not a big fish in the five nets?"
Because the sound of the boat's engine was very loud, Jiang Luoluo could only lean close to him and talk. The girl's body fragrance and the softness he accidentally touched made him a little distracted.
"It's okay, I won't lose too much."
Although all the caught are small squids, red shrimps, swimming crabs, small pomfrets and small yellow croakers, the number of five nets is also quite a lot.
Plus there are piles of fish offal, these can be sold for 20 per plastic box, which can return about 200 yuan.
Overall, the loss should be around one thousand yuan.
Jiang Luoluo was about to bring up the matter that he paid half of the charter fee, but suddenly heard Zhang Wei shouting excitedly: "Fuck, what a big fish, come and see, we caught a big fish. "
"Really?" Chu Mingcheng was immediately attracted and walked over quickly.
I saw a meter-sized big codfish struggling in the fishing net. This kind of fish is often caught by fishermen in the open sea, but it is rare to see it around Yanmen Island in the past two years.
"Haha, Acheng, you are lucky. This cod should weigh about twenty catties. You paid back your money today!" Although the fish is not his own, Zhao Jun is also quite happy.
If the harvest is so dismal today, he would feel a little bit embarrassed after receiving two thousand from Chu Mingcheng.
"Brother Zhao Jun, can this fish get its money back?"
In Chu Mingcheng’s impression, cod is not expensive, and cod in the market only costs around ten yuan per catty.
Even if it weighs twenty catties, and the price is high when it is freshly caught, it will probably sell for four to five hundred at most!
"The rice-grade cod can be sold for at least 81 catties. We rarely see such a large fish here. Maybe someone will ask for a higher price later."
"Why is it so expensive? Isn't the vegetable market only selling about ten yuan a catty?" Chu Mingcheng was stunned, no wonder Zhao Jun said he could get back his money.
"You have isinglass. If the isinglass is good, you can take it out and dry it yourself. Maybe you can earn more. But this is too troublesome, it's better to sell it directly."
"Yes, there is isinglass, how could I forget this."
Jiang Luoluo was relieved to hear that the cod was able to pay back.
As all the fishing nets were pulled up, several people found that there were other good goods in the net.
Among them were two 30-centimeter-long fishes whose whole body was red.
Zhao Jun didn't even recognize what kind of fish it was. In the end, Chu Mingcheng found it on the Internet.
This fish will survive along the coast when it is young, and will swim back to the continental shelf when it grows up. Generally, it can only be caught in the open sea.
The normal size of this kind of fish is generally about 40 to 50 centimeters. The 30 centimeters may have been cut off by Zhao Jun's fishing net just before returning to the continental shelf.
Chu Mingcheng originally hoped to catch a grouper, but the grouper did not come and the purple snapper was not bad.
Finally, after discussing with Zhang Wei, Jiang Luoluo and the others, he took five small yellow croakers, two purple snappers and five very fat swimming crabs, and sold the rest.
After the fishing boat returned, the appearance of a rice-sized cod fish really attracted many people to watch.
The belly of this cod is very fat, and the isinglass is likely to be very good and large.
The fishmongers and the bosses who came to buy seafood immediately started bidding, and finally a boss from Wenzhou bought it.
The fish weighed 18.7 catties and sold for 2,300 yuan, with an average of more than 120 catties per catty.
In addition to the fish he wanted to take away, the other fish on the boat were also sold for more than 700 yuan. Today, the charter boat earned about a thousand yuan, which Chu Mingcheng did not expect.
The only pity is that these net catches will not be counted as experience points in the aquatic illustrated book.
"Brother Zhao Jun, would you like to have a drink at my place tonight?"
"No, no, I have something to do tonight, next time!"
Zhao Jun has no intention of going to join in the fun, if Chu Mingcheng himself drinks with him, then he will definitely go.
"Okay, next time, let's go first."
Chu Mingcheng was not reluctant, and after saying hello, he went back with his things.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and he sent Jiang Luoluo and the others home.
I was going to pick up Zhang Ruomei, but she had her period.
In case she couldn't eat the seafood dinner, she called Jiang Luoluo early and told her that she would not be coming to the dinner at night, so that they didn't have to pick her up, so they started cooking dinner.
Sri Lankan blue crabs are steamed directly, and the original meat tastes fresh and sweet.
Chu Mingcheng’s hometown does not have an oven, but there is a barbecue grill, so Zhang Wei directly took out the lobster and scallops and grilled them.
Two purple snappers were used as sashimi, and all the internal organs of the fish head were given to the raccoon cat.
That is seafood, it is convenient and simple to make, and at about five o'clock, all the seafood is placed on the table.
