I have to say that it was a very correct decision to let Jia Gui and the other three come over. Not to mention that they are all very experienced old sailors, now every meal is the same as eating in a restaurant.
At noon, Chef Jia Teng braised Shi Jiugong, which was caught when Zheng Gan and his companions went fishing. He also made braised spareribs, a tofu and oyster soup, and conch meat mixed with scallion oil. The staple food was steamed buns.
The ribs and tofu were dishes that Lin Hao bought yesterday for the sea voyage. The oyster meat was brought by Wang Yunzhou from home. His son is engaged in oyster farming.
"Uncle Teng's cooking skills are really amazing." Zheng Gan took a sip of the tofu and oyster soup and found it very delicious. The tofu was tender and smooth, and the oyster meat was also delicious.
"Hehe." Jia Teng just chuckled when he heard that. Having worked as a chef for so many years, he still had some confidence. If it weren't for the incomplete tools and seasonings on the boat, he could have prepared eight dishes and one soup for every meal.
"Boss, when you have guests coming to your house in the future, just ask him to cook. I promise he won't embarrass you." Jia Gui smiled. Zheng Gan was so loyal to them, so cooking such a small thing should be easy for him.
"That's great. It would be great to have Uncle Teng's help." Zheng Gan agreed without hesitation. They were not outsiders, so there was no need to be so hypocritical about this matter.
Everyone was eating, chatting, and enjoying the sea breeze. They seemed to be living a good life. Of course, this was because they had some gains in the morning. If they hadn't gotten any, they might have just had some noodles for lunch.
After eating and drinking, the "Make Money" set sail again and headed towards the deep sea area. The fish resources near the coast have decreased a lot, and it is necessary to explore new areas.
After sailing for more than three hours, Zheng Gan found that the number of red dots on the map began to gradually increase, and there were even many large red dots moving around, but the number was not too large.
"Agan, I remember that when I went out with your father-in-law before, we caught a lot of big prawns in this area. You can try changing the mesh size to a smaller one." Wang Yunzhou suggested.
Zheng Gan nodded and quickly organized people to change the nets. Different mesh sizes can catch different types of fish. We have to be a little more strict in China, while there are special standards abroad. Each species has a set of regulations. Smaller fish must be put back into the sea, otherwise you may go to jail.
Since there are a lot of prawns in this area, let's change the previous nets. There are already a lot of them prepared on the boat.
After changing the trawl net, Wang Yunzhou watched the boat circle around him, and the rest was left to Zheng Gan to find a position.
Although the situation around here is better than that near the coast, there are still no large clusters of red dots.
"Start casting the nets." Zheng Gan shouted. Since there were no large schools of fish, they would find a small group with relatively large red dots to cast the nets.
Everyone on the boat couldn't wait any longer. When they heard that the net was going to be cast, they all rushed to their respective positions as fast as they could, and then threw the float down. It didn't take long for the net to be cast.
Zheng Gan also began to direct Wang Yunzhou's direction with a smile. He was very happy to see one red dot after another entering the range of the trawl.
They ran like this for about two hours, and almost all the red dots around were collected. Zheng Gan also started calling on everyone to start setting up the net.
After the net was pulled up, everyone was unhappy looking at the somewhat shriveled net bag, except Zheng Gan, because he was the only one who knew that although there didn't seem to be much stuff inside, the quality was really good.
"Everyone, cheer up. We don't have to worry. There might be 1,800 kilograms of wild-caught giant prawns in there." Zheng Gan said with a smile.
Everyone present rolled their eyes. They were all wild giant prawns. How could they dare to imagine that? Even Wang Yunzhou found it a little funny. He and Qiao Zhengdong had also caught wild giant prawns when they came out before, but once they were caught online, they only weighed a few hundred kilograms. He couldn't imagine that they would weigh over a thousand kilograms.
"Wow!" The rope was opened and everything in the net bag fell out. After everyone saw it clearly, they were all stunned.
Jia Gui: "No way, boss, are you blessed with this mouth?"
Jia Teng: "How do you make something so delicious?"
Lin Zhihong: "Today's bonus is guaranteed."
Wang Yunzhou: "Everything I just said was bullshit, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Surprisingly, most of the shriveled net bags were filled with large wild prawns, some of which had two or three heads. The price was unimaginable.
"Brother, you are so awesome. This is the golden legend." Lin Hao laughed. Although he was surprised, he was not stunned. After all, he was used to it.
"Xiao Feng, what's the current price of wild giant prawns?" Zheng Gan asked Jiang Feng, who was still in shock, with a smile.
Jiang Feng swallowed his saliva. "The purchase price of a large prawn with three heads is 150 yuan per catty. Two heads can get 200 yuan."
This price is very expensive, almost the same as the red snapper. Don't think this is a joke. Do you still remember the sky-high price of Qingdao prawns? In fact, in the eyes of locals, if they are really wild prawns, they are not expensive. I just don't know what species and size the prawns were at that time.
"Come on, let's hurry up and pick them up." Zheng Gan clapped his hands, signaling everyone to come back to their senses. These good things must be sorted out quickly.
Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately started working, sorting all the large prawns on the deck according to their size and then loading them into the cabin for preservation.
"Brother, the weight is out on the scale. The prawns with two heads weigh a total of 340 kilograms, the ones with three heads weigh 470 kilograms, and the remaining ones with less than three heads weigh about 180 kilograms." Lin Hao reported the harvest of this net.
Sixty-eight thousand (two heads), seventy thousand (three heads), these two alone are nearly one hundred and forty thousand, and the rest of those with less than three heads are at least eighteen thousand. Of course, as for the rest of the rotten fish and shrimp, forget it, we can share them.
Zheng Gan also wants to set aside some of these large prawns as gifts. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and it would be perfect to use these large prawns caught in the sea.
Qiao Zhengdong, Lin Gang, Zhao Xing, Wang Dongqiang and other relatives and friends must prepare a ten-jin box each, which consumes dozens of kilograms. A box of ten kilograms costs at least fifteen hundred yuan. My own relatives must also want those that cost two hundred yuan per kilogram. Remember, this is just the purchase price. The selling price must be at least thirty to fifty percent more expensive.
But as our traditional festival, this is indispensable.
After cleaning the deck, Zheng Gan informed Wang Yunzhou to continue sailing. It would soon be dark, so he decided to see if the fishes could give him a surprise at night.
