Chapter 210: A Dong is a ruthless man
Back on the boat, Zhang Ze went to the cabin to move out the grill, table, and chairs, and then selected some vegetables and beef and mutton to grill later.
When the ingredients were half processed, Jin Sanbao came over by boat and moved a bamboo basket to his side.
Zhang Ze stuck his head out and saw a lot of oysters and scallops, as well as two lobsters weighing over a pound, a few small yellow croakers, and the urinal fish he mentioned just now.
"There are quite a lot of things here. It seems that I don't need to prepare staple food for dinner."
Jin Sanbao chuckled and said, "Of course. You said yesterday that we should go out to sea together, so we planned to have a barbecue in the evening. So after we put down the net in the morning, we hurried to go fishing."
"Not bad, not bad. Then you guys go ahead and collect the nets. I'll prepare here first."
These oysters, scallops and a small number of clams were all wet, obviously they had been kept in water and had almost vomited out all the dirt in their stomachs.
However, after Jin Sanbao left, Zhang Ze put it into the space first and left it there to grow while he dealt with other ingredients first.
The small yellow croakers are killed first, and then it's the turn of the urinal fish.
Picking up the urinal fish, Zhang Ze looked it over and over, then picked up the knife and cut at the indentations on both sides of the fish's cheeks.
The processing method of urinal fish is different from that of ordinary fish. Its fish skull is very hard and there is not much meat, so the head is not left.
The urine in the stomach is wrapped in a thin film and needs to be drawn out directly from the head.
If it's a little broken, then congratulations, you will experience the feeling of accidentally pouring something from the chamber pot onto your hands.
Then, Zhang Ze accidentally used a little more force. "Hiss~"
The smell of urine made his scalp numb. He hurried to the stern of the boat and quickly cleaned the fish in sea water, throwing away the internal organs and head.
Throwing the simply processed urinal fish aside, Zhang Ze picked up the pipe to rinse off the unknown liquid that had just spilled along the way, and the foul smell in the air immediately dissipated.
He just couldn't bear to look at this fish.
He originally wanted to try the fish back, but now, he couldn't eat it at night.
But it was shameful to waste it, so Zhang Ze picked up the hose, rinsed the fish clean and took it to the kitchen.
He himself doesn't eat it, but maybe Jin Sanbao and the others like it? It's just like durian, stinky tofu and snail rice noodle, people who like it really like it!
Humming a little tune, Zhang Ze walked leisurely on the deck, preparing the ingredients for the barbecue in the evening.
Before he knew it, the sun had already descended to a position above the sea, illuminating the sea with the same orange-yellow color as the sky. In the distance, Jin Sanbao's fishing boat was heading towards him.
Not long after, the three of them brought the boat over, stopped, and used ropes to tie the boats together. The three of them climbed over the side of the boat.
"Come on, the ingredients are ready, and the charcoal fire is already lit. Grill whatever you want. I'll go see if the fish is steamed."
Zhang Ze greeted him and then walked into the cabin kitchen.
When he saw them driving towards this side just now, he took the urinal fish to steam it. Now that they arrived, the fish was almost cooked.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a lot of steam came out, followed by a special smell.
It smells a bit like stinky tofu, but with a bit more spiciness.
Zhang Ze had a strange look on his face. He brought out the plate, put the chopped green onion and shredded radish on it, poured the soy sauce he made himself with a little oyster sauce on both sides of the fish, and then heated oil and poured it on top.
Sizzle, the special smell became stronger, but the aroma of soy sauce also wafted up, immediately covering up this smell.
After finishing, Zhang Ze immediately opened all the kitchen windows.
When bringing out the fish, don't forget to close the kitchen door to prevent the smell from polluting the dining room and living room.
"The fish is here, come and try some!"
Zhang Ze brought out the fish, and the grill was already full of things, including oysters, scallops, and marinated lamb. Chen Xudong and Jin Fan were busy together.
Jin Sanbao had nothing to do, so he stood aside waiting for food.
Seeing Zhang Ze carrying the fish out, his eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the chopsticks and moved closer: "Yes, this fish looks good, the white fish meat is really beautiful. By the way, where is the fish head?"
"The fish head had no meat, so I just threw it away along with the entrails."
“I see!”
Jin Sanbao nodded and didn't care, while his chopsticks had already picked up a piece of fish.
He dipped the fish into the soy sauce and was about to eat it when he paused and sniffed: "What's that smell?"
Zhang Ze had been watching his movements, but he suddenly stopped when he was about to eat. Hearing his question, he quickly said, "This fish is a bit special, and the taste is a bit strong. But it's like the durian at the fruit stall, it smells bad but tastes good."
"Durian!" As a native of Nanfang, Jin Sanbao had naturally eaten this tropical fruit that is only available in the south. After all, there are some durian trees on Lianhua Mountain.
Although not many, about half of the villagers have eaten this fruit. The remaining half do not eat it, but they do not like the taste.
Jin Sanbao likes durian very much, it's sweet! So this time he didn't hesitate any more and put the fish meat directly into his mouth.
Just as he took a bite, his expression paused again.
Then he swallowed it without chewing it, with a look of surprise on his face: "No way, this urinal fish is so delicious, it shouldn't be sold so cheaply? Ah Fan and Ah Dong, come and try it."
"It tastes good, right? It's really not right to sell it so cheaply!" Zhang Ze had no idea what bad intentions he was planning. He secretly gave him a thumbs up and handed him a bottle of soda that he had just taken out of the refrigerator.
"It's really delicious!" Jin Sanbao nodded repeatedly, and quickly opened the soda and took two big gulps.
Seeing that Jin Fan and Chen Xudong were too busy to come over to eat, he directly picked up the fish and chopsticks, and quickly fed each of them a big mouthful of fish.
Jin Fan chewed and put on the mask of pain.
He wanted to vomit on the ground, but then he thought it was Zhang Ze's boat and it was not good to do so, so he hurried to the side of the boat to vomit.
"Pah, what kind of fish is this? It smells like urine."
Zhang Ze was immediately surprised and joked: "Fuck, Afan, have you ever drunk it? How do you know it smells like urine?"
Jin Sanbao laughed: "Afan might have drunk it when he was a child. He fell into the toilet at that time."
"Uh~" Zhang Ze suddenly felt a little nauseous and suddenly regretted why he had made fun of her.
It takes a lot of courage for most people to step into the dry toilets in the countryside.
When Jin Fan heard that his embarrassing childhood memories were exposed, he felt a little embarrassed and was about to attack Jin Sanbao.
The two of them were chasing and running, and for a moment they were like little kids, not like people with several children at all.
After playing for a while, they suddenly stopped and looked shocked.
Including Zhang Ze, he had the same expression.
Because when Chen Xudong was grilling, he would pick up his chopsticks from time to time to eat some urinal fish meat, nodding while eating, as if it was delicious.
"Adong, don't you think this fish is too fishy?"
"Is it smelly? I think it's quite fragrant." Chen Xudong said calmly while eating.
Zhang Ze took a breath of cold air. This was a ruthless person. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future and not mess with him!
The four men worked together and the barbecue dinner lasted until around 8:30 in the evening.
After eating and cleaning up, it was already past nine o'clock.
Jin Sanbao and his companions left to go fishing. Their fishing nets have been put down again, but they will have to wait until tomorrow morning to collect them.
Seeing that it was already so late, Zhang Ze set out on a boat to look for a deep-sea fishing spot.
I won't let out the longline for shallow water fishing tonight. Grouper and other fish are active between 6 and 10 p.m., so the harvest will be maximized if they are let out during this time period.
He doesn't have to go back tomorrow, so it's okay for him to stay one more day.
Soon, Zhang Ze found two suitable deep-sea fish fishing spots and cast four longlines for deep-sea fish.
After letting down the longline, he thought about it and simply turned off the engine and dropped the anchor, and went fishing for deep-sea fish here that night.
Take the fishing rod, install it on the base, and then tie five hooks.
It is more efficient to use string hooks to fish for deep-sea fish. Most deep-sea fish are relatively concentrated. If the fish school is good, there will be at least two fish on each rod, which is different from coral fish.
It’s not over after tying the fish hook. This time he took out a small cage, which is a bait cage specially used for catching deep-sea fish.
He made the cage himself using steel wire, which only required basic welding skills, and it would not be a problem facing water pressure of a hundred meters.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As the cage sinks with the fish hook, the smell of the bait inside can attract a large number of deep-sea fish.
I believe that the efficiency can be further improved by combining ordinary fish bait with this nesting cage.
Zhang Ze didn't have Antarctic shrimps, so he took a few large shrimps he bought before going out to sea, chopped them into two pieces and put them in, then covered the nesting cage with the lid.
Put on ordinary bait and throw it into the water. When the hook reaches the bottom, retract it a few times and wait for the bait to bite.
After waiting for a while, the tip of the fishing rod began to shake violently, and a fish took the bait.
It has to be said that the fisherman instinctively wanted to lift the rod when he saw this situation. Zhang Ze had already grabbed the rod, but in the end he still endured it.
Then he moved a little. One fish was not enough to satisfy him, so he had to wait a little longer.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the fishing rod began to vibrate more and more violently. Zhang Ze knew it was almost time, so he quickly turned the fishing rod and reeled in the line.
He wasn't sure how many fish he had hooked, and it was impossible to tell just from the shaking of the fishing rod.
But no matter what, if you wait ten more seconds, there is a possibility that there will be more than one fish, and the one that is hooked first will not have time to break free.
"Crackle, crackle, ding-dong~"
The fishing rod and the bell on it reflected each other, and it was a little difficult for Zhang Ze to turn the fishing rod.
Deep-sea fish are not that easy to catch. For fish of the same weight, the pulling force is much stronger than that of diving fish.
The same goes for the weight, the fish is obviously not big when you hook it, but it’s quite hefty when you hook it.
A few minutes later, three fish appeared on the sea surface, lying on their sides, dying, with their stomachs vomited into their mouths.
Three fish, two yellow and one red.
The largest red one is the purple snapper, also known as red friend, which looks to be about ten kilograms.
Zhang Ze couldn't recognize what the yellow fish was at first, and he guessed it was another species he didn't recognize.
He knew most of the edible coral fish in the South China Sea, but not many deep-sea fish, only some of the more common ones.
These two dark yellow fish are not big, each one is only about 30 centimeters long and weighs about three pounds.
None of the three fish were very big. Zhang Ze directly grabbed the fishing line and pulled them up, then put them into the space one by one.
[Successfully caught a Japanese purple fish, weighing 2.86 catties, experience +15. ]
Japanese purple fish?
Zhang Ze always felt that this fish was a little familiar. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Isn't this the yellowtail snapper?
Also known as Sanwu, it is a deep-sea fish with very tender meat and extremely high market value.
Zhang Ze had indeed never fished before, but he had the good fortune of seeing others selling fish when he went to a restaurant to sell fish before.
At that time, the restaurant bought it at eight yuan per pound, mainly because there were not many of this fish in the waters near Nanfang.
The two fish weighed a little over six pounds in total and could be sold for nearly fifty yuan, which is a bit exaggerated.
After hanging the bait on the empty hook, Zhang Ze continued fishing.
This time it took a little longer, about ten minutes, because the portion was larger.
But the harvest was even more gratifying. This time I actually caught a full hook and caught five deep-sea fish.
A long-tailed sea bream and a deep-sea grouper, also known as the seven-band grouper.
The remaining three fish were mainly yellow in color. Zhang Ze was quite excited at first. The income from this one fishing rod was explosive!
But upon closer inspection, I found that these three yellow fish were actually yellowtail snapper, also known as yellowtail bream.
As the name of the fish suggests, its tail is scissor-shaped and yellow, and its dorsal fin is also yellow. At first glance, it looks quite similar to the yellowtail sea bream.
The names of these two types of fish differ by only one character, but their prices are very different.
It's just like the fire-spot fish and the stone clam fish, the difference is just the words black and white, and the prices are worlds apart.
Huangweidong is not uncommon in the market, and the price is only about 40 cents.
There are quite a lot of deep-sea fish species, and Zhang Ze often catches some fish that he doesn't even recognize.
Fortunately, there is space. Although there is no detailed introduction, at least he knows the scientific names of these fish. He can just ask people when he returns.
After fishing for about an hour, there were 37 more fish in the space, with a total weight of 103 kilograms. This efficiency is amazing.
But Zhang Ze chose to rest now because his arms were a little sore.
At this moment, he missed the electric reel of later generations very much, which was an essential tool for fishing deep-sea fish.
With the fishing conditions today, he set up two electric reels and could catch perhaps a hundred fish in an hour.
Of course, the more you fish, the fewer fish you catch. You may catch so many in the beginning, but not necessarily in the end. It is impossible to catch 500 fish in five hours, unless you encounter a super large school of fish.
After resting for a while and feeling his arm had recovered, Zhang Ze put up the bait and continued.
Driven by the lead sinker, the bait quickly reached the bottom of the sea, and Zhang Ze habitually reeled in a little fishing line.
But just when I pulled it back a little and was about to let the bait leave the bottom, the fishing rod suddenly shook violently.
A big fish took the bait, and the noise was even louder than when the previous five fish took the bait.
But judging from the bent shape of the fishing rod, the fish was not overweight, probably about 30 to 40 kilograms.
It’s just that in deep sea, the fishing rod reacts more strongly.
