"Horse-faced fish!" Jiang Feng shouted, but there was not much emotion in his tone.
The horse-faced fish, also known as the horse-faced pufferfish, is generally 20-25 cm long and has a long lifespan of up to 20 years. It is named after its face which resembles a horse's head.
The meat is used medicinally to treat stomach problems, mastitis, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Its firm texture, rich in protein and fat, makes it a nutritious aquatic product. Besides being eaten fresh, it can also be made into salted, dried, and canned foods.
Its internal organs were originally used as fertilizer, but are now processed into leather fatliquor, which can make leather products plump, soft, elastic, and not harden after being stored for a long time. The skin can be made into gelatin, which can be used as edible plastic shells and fillers.
As for the price, the general purchase price in the market is about 35-40 yuan, which means that the total price of nearly five tons of horse-faced fish in this net can reach between 300,000 and 350,000 yuan.
"Not bad, not as good as horse mackerel, but much better than sardines." Zheng Gan nodded. He didn't expect to make tens or hundreds of millions in one net. Anyway, if he could make one million in a day when he went out to cast the net, he would have achieved his goal.
After deducting labor, gas, etc. from the one million, there will be a profit of about 900,000. In a month, it will definitely be more than 20 million, so the goal can be achieved in five months.
This way, Yueyue will have just enough time to go home for her first birthday.
"Keep casting the nets. There must be a lot of horse-faced fish under the water." Four hours have already been wasted on the road, so they have to hurry. Zheng Gan led everyone to cast the second net. After the second net was filled with water, they could start sorting.
After more than an hour, everyone sat down with their small stools and started the sorting work.
"Uncle Teng, let's make some sweet potato noodles for dinner." Zheng Gan said with a smile as he looked at the horse-faced fish in his hand.
In his hometown, besides braising the horse-faced fish, another way to eat it is to use it as a stew and eat it with sweet potato noodles. Sweet potato noodles are naturally sweet, and combined with the deliciousness of the horse-faced fish, it is simply one of the best delicacies.
Of course, many friends in the south are not used to this way of eating, but Zheng Gan likes it very much. Even in Shan County, this way of eating can be used to entertain guests.
The purchase price of horse-faced fish is at most 40 yuan, but if you buy it in the market, it can sometimes even reach 70 or 80 yuan per catty.
When Jia Teng heard that they were going to make sweet potato noodles, his eyes immediately lit up. At the same time, Lin Hao, Jia Gui and the others were also excited. It would be so great to be able to have a local delicacy here.
People like Shi Zhihong were not from Shan County, but they were from Wei City. Even if they had never eaten this delicacy, they had heard of it and were all looking forward to it.
Only the other four, including Ah Da, were completely confused. They were not very fluent in Mandarin to begin with, and they had no idea what was being said about braised pork and sweet potato noodles.
But there is food anyway. No matter how bad it tastes, can it be as bad as what they eat at home?
Everyone was looking forward to the delicious food. Smelling the fragrance wafting from the cabin, the sorting work became much faster. As a result, as soon as the sweet potato noodles were ready, Zheng Gan was the first to rush over to try them.
When the others saw this, they immediately put down their work and gathered around, not even working.
"What the hell is going on!" Jia Teng was frightened when he saw the crowd rushing over. After cursing a few times, he began to distribute noodles to them.
"You bunch of selfish people, you ate sweet potato noodles without even calling me." Song Zhao was also attracted by the aroma and almost burst into curses. You know, this is his favorite!
No one paid any attention to him and just drank their noodles, which tasted so delicious. Almost everyone ate four or five bowls, then patted their bulging stomachs in satisfaction and continued to sort them leisurely.
However, the four people including Ada finished their meal after just one bowl, with a very forced smile on their faces, saying that it was very delicious. This made Zheng Gan almost burst out laughing. In the end, Jia Teng made some fried rice with the leftover rice from yesterday to fill the stomachs of the four locals.
After eating and drinking, Zheng Gan first opened the map plug-in and carefully studied the surrounding situation. There were quite a few red dot groups here, basically enough for them to download the Internet for three or four days.
In the next few days, the boat basically circled around here, and finally caught about fourteen nets of horse mackerel, which is a total of more than 60 tons, and the income was between 4.5 million and 5 million.
Excluding the cost, the target task was completed, so Zheng Gan gave everyone a bonus of 1,000 yuan, and A Da and the other four gave each of them 500 yuan.
He had discussed the bonus with Zhao Xing before. If the target task is completed, he will be given a bonus of one thousand. If the target task is exceeded, the bonus will be doubled. If there is a hush money issue, the amount will be determined based on the actual situation.
So basically they can get at least 6,000 to 7,000 yuan in bonuses a month. Adding their wages, except for the four local people Ada, no one on the ship has a monthly salary of less than 20,000 yuan.
This is considered a high salary even in a big city. The main reason is that they are provided with food and accommodation, and they don’t have to spend a penny on the ship. Basically, they save whatever they earn.
After four days of hard work, Zheng Gan also took a night off. After four consecutive days of high-intensity work, it was time to take a break.
"Boss." Ada saw Zheng Gan fishing on the deck and came over to say hello.
"Well, take some time to rest." Zheng Gan didn't take it seriously and waved his hand.
"I have something I want to tell you." Ah Da hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Huh?" Zheng Gan put down his fishing rod and turned around curiously. He was curious about what this black guy wanted to say to him.
Ah Da organized his words in his head before speaking, "I was on another fishing boat before, and once I needed to go into the water to check the bottom of the boat, and I saw a sunken ship under the water."
Zheng Gan nodded. It was normal for a shipwreck to occur in the sea. But Ah Da's next words made him look surprised.
"Then I went to take a look and found that this shipwreck was not a modern ship. It looked at least one or two hundred years old."
It turned out to be an ancient shipwreck. There might be valuable things on it. Last time in Sri Lanka, the shipwreck that the minke whale led him to find brought him more than 10 million gold!
"And I have secretly recorded the coordinates." said the black guy.
