Chapter 251 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Deck of the cruise ship that takes you to Yunlu Village.
The women and some men in the village sat at various positions on the deck, with a newly built awning over their heads, and a large basin of fresh seafood in front of each person.
A group of people were busy with their work while looking at the big fish outside the shed.
The sea bass and mackerel are gutted and scaled, then pounded into a paste to make fish balls. The cleaned crabs are then minced to make crab roe sauce/crab butter, and some are made into drunken crabs.
Like crab roe sauce and mushroom sauce, it is simple and delicious when mixed with rice or noodles, not to mention drunken crab. The drunken crab at the seafood dinner a few days ago charmed everyone who likes it, especially men.
Even if each family does not have aged Huadiao, there is still a lot of rice wine brought back by people who go out to do business, which can be used.
Young people like Li Tuo, who were helping, kept muttering as they cleaned the crabs, "I'm a noble now, and I still have to clean the crabs myself. How is that justified?"
Miao Jinfeng, standing next to him, smacked him on the head and said unhappily, "What's wrong with having a title? It's just a baron of the lowest rank. What can you do? Who says a baron can't help with household chores? Do you still expect us to wait on you like a lord and eat for free? Does it make sense to eat and drink for free without working?"
Wu Yinyin glanced at her brother-in-law and said, "If you don't help, with so many fish, it would take me and my mother seven or eight days to finish it."
A few days ago, after fishing at sea, their family was allocated several thousand kilograms of fish and shrimp. Now that there are no victims from the Huo family army to help with the work, each family can only provide people to do it on their own.
A meat grinder can be used to remove the sludge, but the cleaning process can only rely on manual labor. Even if they don’t process all of the thousands of kilograms, processing only a small part will be enough to keep them busy for several days.
The space at home also stores a large amount of various animal meats obtained during the polar night that have not been processed in time.
If the animal meat is processed together, it will really make people despair.
Miao Jinfeng said, "It's okay if you don't work, but don't eat a single bite of the food we make."
Li Tuo chuckled twice and said, "I was just joking. Of course I can't let only you two work." As he said that, he began to brush the crab shells more vigorously.
Miao Jinfeng snorted lightly and turned to continue talking to Aunt Zhang next door.
"These brats are getting more and more arrogant after getting a title. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will be so angry that they will die."
Aunt Zhang laughed and said, "Li Tuo is still young. Once he gets married, his temperament will become more stable."
Miao Jinfeng was helpless, "I also want him to get married quickly, but there is no suitable partner." Li Tuo spent all day eating, drinking and busying himself with the hunting team. He didn't seem to have any interest in this aspect. It was obvious that he had no interest at all.
Other children in the village who are his age can already help with cooking.
Uh, except Lu Xuan.
Miao Jinfeng glanced at her youngest son, who was concentrating on cleaning crabs and was playing with the crab claws halfway through. "I think he's just bored these past few days since Xuan's been away, and he's looking for trouble."
Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Didn't Ah Xuan come back yesterday? I guess he'll take people fishing again in the next two days."
Grandma Lin, who was not far away, couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "I wonder what kind of fish we'll catch this time. Oh, why does this job seem endless?"
Miao Jinfeng smiled and said, "Auntie, if you feel tired, don't process it. You can save it and take the fresh fish away next time they go out to do business."
Granny Lin shook her head. "All the disaster victims are out at sea right now. Who can't get fresh fish? It's better to sell it when it's ready."
Others nodded in agreement.
"Until the sea water recedes, there will probably be no shortage of fish in all the towns. If we don't make them taste better, we won't be competitive." What will we do if they are left with nothing by then?
As everyone talked, they worked harder.
But in the final analysis, they are all unable to sit still.
The vegetable gardens and fields on the ship were much smaller than before. They couldn't find any work to do every day, and they couldn't explore the ship and play hide-and-seek all day long like the other children except for attending classes.
On the other side, Lu Xuan, who returned to the cruise ship, also spent some time processing the seafood that belonged to their family.
With the help of superpowers, large machinery, and nanny robots, Lu Xuan's efficiency was far higher than that of others. In just one day, he prepared ten jars of drunken crabs, drunken shrimps, hundreds of kilograms of butter, and more than a dozen large boxes of fish balls, directly consuming half of the seafood left after the lottery.
He had no intention of touching the remaining half, saving it for trading with other disaster victims.
The next day, the hunting team was notified to continue hunting at sea.
The cruise ship remained in the sea area where it was currently staying, and the hunting team took some of the female members of the gathering team with them and drove out on a fishing boat.
·
"What kind of fish should we catch today?" Li Tuo, who was finally freed from the job of catching crabs, asked Lu Xuan excitedly while rubbing his hands.
Xiong Mao said, "Get some more crabs. We've processed all of our crabs and there's not a single one left. We don't sell any at all."
Zhang Chengming suggested, "We can get more lobsters. Lobsters don't have bones, so they're safer for children to eat."
His daughter Xiuxiu loves to eat seafood, but unfortunately the child is too young, and he and his wife are always worried that the little girl will be pricked by fish bones.
As for lobsters, once the shells are removed, they are full of meat. The elders can feed them with confidence, and the children also enjoy eating them.
The others recalled the cheese baked lobster they had eaten a few days ago and couldn't help swallowing their saliva frantically.
The total number of lobsters they caught that day was less than a hundred. There were so many people in the village that they all cooked them in one meal, and not a single one was left.
When it came down to it, each of them only ate half a piece, which was not satisfying at all.
Not only were the people in the hunting team giving suggestions, but everyone in the live broadcast room was also "ordering dishes".
Some people said they wanted lobster, some wanted to eat sea urchin and abalone.
But these are not easy to get with fishing nets. The best way to get them is to go down to the bottom of the sea and fish for them yourself.
It is not suitable to go fishing in the sea on rainy days. You can only wait until the rain stops.
Lu Xuan said, "We can definitely get more lobsters."
One of the reasons he came out today was to get a batch of lobsters.
In addition, if you are lucky enough to come across hairtail, you can also get a batch.
At the end of the year, hairtail has accumulated a lot of fat, which makes the meat plump and delicious. It also has fewer bones than other fish, making it easier for children to eat.
It would be a shame not to catch some.
However, you can’t find hairtail just by looking for it.
Lu Xuan discovered several groups of small fish on the radar, and after checking with a detector, he found that they were not cutlassfish.
Of course, they did not let go of other fish, and gradually harvested more than 20,000 kilograms of fish.
The group came out after breakfast in the morning. They had caught more than 200,000 kilograms of fish in the morning, but still did not find any hairtail. However, they found a group of lobsters. Lu Xuan specially bought a sticky net that was large enough to catch lobsters in the mall.
Spread the animal viscera obtained from the beast raid in advance to make a nest, make sure the lobsters are gathered together, and cast the net immediately.
Make sure most of the lobsters are in the net before pulling them up.
"Wow!" The women on the boat exclaimed excitedly when they saw the large lobsters densely packed in the net being pulled up.
“Lots of lobsters!”
"There must be several hundred lobsters in this net, right?"
Lu Xuan took a quick look and said, "More than a thousand."
"Wow! So many!?" Zhang Chengming, Li Tuo and others were also shocked.
Lu Xuan continued to look at the detector and said, "There are still a lot of fish below. It's too early to be happy now. Let's continue to make nests and set the nets."
There are at least five or six thousand lobsters in this group. He has never heard of discovering so many wild lobsters at once in modern times.
The environment in ancient times was superior to that of modern times.
We can't catch all of this batch of lobsters, but at least we have to catch three to four thousand of them, and let the rest continue to reproduce.
There is no one on the boat who doesn't like to eat lobster, so don't be too active.
While setting the bait and casting the net, I had already started thinking about tonight's menu.
Some of the more exaggerated ones almost made me drool.
In the end, they caught nearly 4,000 lobsters.
At noon, the group ate some ready-made food to fill their stomachs and continued to wander around with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
Since we can find a group of lobsters, it means that the surrounding waters are very suitable for lobsters. If we take a closer look, maybe we can find new groups of lobsters.
Even though the rain got heavier in the afternoon, hurting their raincoats and the rain flowing through the brims of their hats and soaking everyone's clothes, it could not dampen their enthusiasm in the slightest.
As expected, they actually discovered two more groups.
On the way, Lu Xuan also discovered large areas of silver in the water through the detector.
It’s hairtail!
The caught cutlassfish shone brightly in the polar day sunlight that even heavy rain could not block. Thousands of cutlassfish were mixed together in a whole net, as if they were not catching a school of fish, but a large piece of silver jewels.
Not to mention the women, even the men couldn't take their eyes off her.
So beautiful!
Everyone was admiring the dish with astonishment on their faces, thinking about the taste of the hairtail fish, and tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of their mouths.
Slurp.
When they returned to the cruise ship, the fish hold and space in the fishing boat were filled with more than 600,000 kilograms of catch, which was more than 100,000 kilograms more than last time.
Among them, there are more than ten thousand lobsters, adding up to more than 100,000 kilograms, and there are also more than 100,000 kilograms of hairtail. The rest are mackerel, pomfret, small yellow fish, sardines, and other fish, shrimps, and conchs that are caught in the net, totaling more than 20 species.
Those who stayed behind were overjoyed when they learned of their harvest.
That night, the restaurant's food was obviously richer than the past two days.
However, seafood cannot be eaten every day. The main dishes for dinner are still home-cooked meat dishes, cold dishes, etc. The only seafood we made are the popular steamed lobster, cheese-baked lobster, pan-fried hairtail, and tempura shrimp.
Tempura shrimp can be mixed with salt, soy sauce, salad dressing, and ketchup. It is suitable for all ages, but children in the village should not be too fond of it.
Lu Chen ate a small pot by himself, and then ate a whole baked lobster and a big bowl of fish ball soup. He was so full that he almost lay down at the table.
The audience in the live broadcast room also had another delicious meal.
However, what was really exciting for them was the lottery after Lu Xuan returned to the room.
In today's harvest, Lu Xuan received more than 3,000 lobsters and also exchanged a lot more from public supplies.
He originally wanted to change all of them, but the others were also very quick, so in the end he only managed to change half of them.
Compared with other seafood, lobsters may be more difficult to catch and are rare. More than 4,000 may sound like a lot, but their family can eat more than ten in one meal, which is really not very edible.
Therefore, Lu Xuan does not plan to recycle the lobsters, nor does he plan to sell them in bulk.
You can consider selling three to five hundred to Ye Feiluan, Bai Xuefeng, Xin Di and other acquaintances, and keep the rest for your family to eat slowly.
Originally, he didn't want to draw a lottery in the live broadcast room, but he couldn't stand the audience's various pity and flattery, and the barrage of comments was full of wailing, so Lu Xuan reluctantly drew 500.
"Five hundred at most. If you keep asking, I won't smoke these five hundred."
The audience who wanted to continue bargaining immediately shut up.
Forget it, it’s good enough to snatch 500 food from the tiger’s mouth.
However, Lu Xuan drew a little more hairtail, 5,000 kilograms. A whole hairtail can be drawn for about 3,500 people, and together with the lobster, a total of 4,000 people.
Four thousand will be picked out of billions of viewers, and those who win will be the chosen ones.
·
For the next three days, Lu Xuan took his hunting team out to sea to fish every day, and each time they could harvest 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of fish.
In three days, a total of more than 180 kilograms were harvested. Adding the previous two times, the total harvest was close to 3 million kilograms.
During this period, the various gathering places that finally salvaged the materials that could not be transported away from the seabed in time also began to migrate.
Among them, the new emperor also specially sent Huo Tiankuo to explore the way in advance.
And this exploration revealed a problem.
Huo Tiankuo called Lu Xuanfa for help in the evening of the day he arrived at an unflooded land in the west.
"Poisoned?" Lu Xuan looked at Huo Tiankuo, who had a serious expression, in surprise. "Were there other people there before you went there?"
The first thing he thought of was the tribe of insects that the hunting team had encountered in the southwest.
Although the altitude in the southwest region is not low, there is no guarantee that the people there will also migrate westward. If any misunderstanding occurs between the two sides, there are too many poisonous insects, and they will attack without any notice.
But surprisingly, Huo Tiankuo shook his head and said solemnly, "There's no one else. I just don't know what happened. Within two or three hours after we arrived here, one-third of the soldiers developed headaches, chest tightness, nausea and vomiting, and shortness of breath. More than a hundred people fainted."
Huo Tiankuo said worriedly, "I'm worried that there are a lot of poisonous weeds or insects on this land that can cause poisoning. If that's the case, we can't let Your Majesty and the victims come here." The poisonous weeds must be found and removed in advance.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
This reaction sounds a little familiar.
"If my guess is correct, the soldiers under your command are not poisoned, but suffering from altitude sickness."
Huo Tiankuo looked confused for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "What does altitude sickness mean?"
Lu Xuan explained: "People who have lived in the plains for a long time suddenly arrive at high altitudes and cannot adapt to the climate there. Symptoms appear. Simply put, it is a kind of acclimatization."
It’s just that altitude sickness is more intense and serious than other symptoms of acclimatization.
This is also the reason why Huo Tiankuo didn't think about it that way.
In the past, the Huo family army had fought in other regions, and they often encountered problems with acclimatization, but most of the time only a few people were affected. It was impossible to do it like this time, where thousands of people lost their combat effectiveness. It was really chilling.
After Lu Xuan's explanation, Huo Tiankuo's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he asked anxiously, "How do I solve this altitude sickness?"
Lu Xuan said: "I'll have someone send you a batch of oxygen cylinders. First breathe oxygen, then take the special medicine. When you feel uncomfortable, take one pill and it will last a day. But..."
Huo Tiankuo understood what he meant.
If they want to live in this plateau for a long time, they can't take medicine every day. They still have to try their best to adapt to the new environment.
But no matter what, he would feel relieved as long as it wasn't poisoning.
After telling Lu Xuan the coordinates of his current location, Huo Tiankuo immediately reported the situation of the western land to the new emperor.
After receiving the oxygen cylinders and special medicines sent by Yunlu Village, the victims from various towns also arrived at their new destination in large and small boats and kayaks.
Just at this time, the heavy rain that had lasted for half a month finally stopped.
