"I can bear not eating seafood, but how can I bear not drinking alcohol?" Tong Yuanhang was immediately numb when he heard that he couldn't even touch alcohol.
Zhang Ze patted his joints and heard him groan. He then said unhappily, "It hurts, right? If you know it hurts, try not to touch it."
The brothers Tong Guoqi and Tong Junqiang looked at their elder brother with sympathy. As fishermen, although they didn't like seafood that much, it was actually difficult for them to leave it and they would miss it if they didn't eat it for a long time.
It would be even more uncomfortable if I didn't drink. I like to have a few sips of alcohol when I have nothing to do. This habit has been formed over the years. Quitting it is no less difficult than quitting smoking. I can only rely on willpower to overcome it.
Zhang Ze is still relieved about this. People tend to forget things easily, but they will regret it after feeling pain a few times or even staying in the hospital.
Some people will really make up their minds to quit, and Tong Yuanhang is not a weak-willed person.
In order to take care of Tong Yuanhang, Jin Fan went to the kitchen to get some pork and specially made a meat dish for him. After all, he couldn't touch the seafood on the table!
Because of him, Zhang Ze gave everyone some basic knowledge about what conditions are more likely to cause gout. As a result, a table full of dishes was eaten, but not much of the wine he brought was drunk.
Choose the lesser of two evils. Seafood cannot be wasted, so we can only sacrifice the wine.
So everyone who had originally planned to take a nap in the afternoon was now very energetic and cleaned up together. Zhang Ze took out the mantis shrimps caught today, two particularly fat swimming crabs, and some tiger prawns brought by Tong Yuanhang and others.
"Afan, you know how to make the raw marinade from Laochao, right?"
Jin Fan was stunned and looked at the things he took out: "Yes, I can, but have you prepared all the seasonings?"
"Of course!" Zhang Ze took him into the kitchen and took out two bottles of Moutai.
"What are you doing with this thing?"
"Disinfection!" It's okay for mantis shrimps and swimming crabs. They can be put into the space to solve the problem of whether there are toxins or parasites.
However, the tiger prawns that Tong Yuanhang sent were already cold. They were fresh because they had just died, but they could not be stored in the space, so they could only be sterilized physically.
"You use Moutai for sterilization!" Jin Fan complained speechlessly. For this step, the most ordinary white wine can be used.
But thinking of Zhang Ze's net worth and his usual arrogance, he silently took the Moutai.
"By the way, why do you like buying Moutai so much?"
"I like it very much. When the seafood restaurant is stable and I have some extra money, I will build a wine storage room at home and fill it with Maotai."
“.”
Jin Fan had no idea that Moutai would be very valuable decades later. He was just stunned by Zhang Ze's simple idea.
The process of making raw marinade is not difficult, it mainly involves preparing the sauce.
Zhang Ze actually knew how to cook, but he felt that people with good cooking skills would have a better grasp of the proportions of the sauces, and the resulting taste would be better, so he called Jin Fan.
After everything is ready and the shrimp threads are removed, pour everything into a plastic box that has been prepared in advance, cover it with a lid and put it in the refrigerator. You can take it out and eat it in the evening.
Everyone else was busy with their own things in the afternoon. Tong Yuanhang, who had gout, went back to the boat and lay down. Zhang Ze drank a lot of rice wine at noon, so he also went to sleep for a while.
He was not worried about getting gout or something. After drinking the spiritual spring, he would no longer have those messy illnesses.
Unfortunately, he didn't sleep for long in the afternoon. He woke up naturally after less than an hour.
It was around 2:20 in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.
It was pouring rain at home, but the sun was shining brightly here.
Now that you're awake, let's get busy.
Although the fishing conditions are generally average in the afternoon, Zhang Ze still started the Duoyu to search for deep-sea fishing spots nearby.
The market for jade pomfret was very good last time. I originally thought that it would not make much money, but I didn’t expect that it tasted very good. In the end, it was sold for 45 cents per pound.
As long as he finds a good-sized school of fish, he can continue to use the winch to restock.
Unfortunately, after walking around for a long time, I didn’t see any bright red color on the fish finder.
The fish are scattered around and can be caught, but it is impossible to restock them.
Zhang Ze immediately lost interest in fishing. He could not catch as much as he did in the morning diving. So he took out his spare diving suit. He had more than one set of equipment, so even if he washed and dried the one he used in the morning, it would not affect his diving.
Still wearing the leather tube, Zhang Ze found that without the oxygen tank, he could move more freely in the water, and sometimes even tried to catch lobsters and fish.
I drove the trolling boat and deliberately found a relatively shallow location, with a depth of only about ten to twenty meters. Some reefs on the bottom of the water could be vaguely seen on the surface.
Jumping into the water, Zhang Ze swam quickly to the bottom of the water.
Just when he was halfway down the dive, a porcupinefish turned a corner from the side reef and came face to face with him.
This porcupinefish is very big, estimated to be at least 50 centimeters long. It is nothing compared to the small porcupinefish that we occasionally catch.
The back and sides of the porcupinefish are gray-brown with several darker vertical and horizontal bands.
Of course, Zhang Ze didn't know the specific scientific name of this pufferfish, and he had no research on these pufferfish.
The main pufferfish are highly poisonous. Without relevant certificates, who would dare to eat this thing?
But now Zhang Ze dares to do so, and is even thinking about whether to have a pufferfish hotpot in the evening.
The porcupinefish swims very slowly, and when it encounters danger, it can only suck seawater into its mouth and make it into a ball, which will deter predators.
But this made it easier for Zhang Ze to catch him.
When he swam over, the porcupinefish had swelled up to the size of a pot lid in his kitchen.
Zhang Ze grabbed it with both hands and put it into the space.
Because the conversion function has a time limit in front of these highly toxic creatures and can only last for a week, he did not convert it immediately, but put it aside for the time being.
[Successfully captured a reticulated pufferfish, weighing 8.99 catties, experience +10. ]
The weight was lighter than he had imagined, and the experience was also less than the porcupinefish he had caught before. It seemed that the actual economic value of this porcupinefish was relatively ordinary.
But it’s not a big problem, just throw it away if it doesn’t taste good.
After catching the big pufferfish, Zhang Zegang dived down and met love again around the corner.
A porcupinefish that looked obviously poisonous appeared. The first time I saw it, I swelled up into a ball. There were spots on its back similar to those of poisonous frogs in the rainforest, and it looked so scary that I didn't dare to eat it.
This porcupinefish is much smaller, only about 25 centimeters long.
Zhang Ze didn't hesitate and put it into the space directly. As a result, he gained 2,000 experience points. He was stunned.
This pufferfish is called the spotted pufferfish. Unlike the pufferfish with sharp spines just now, its body is slippery.
Zhang Ze didn't expect that a pufferfish that was only 30 centimeters long could be a king level and have a very high experience value.
This was like picking up a king fish for free, and he immediately became interested in these porcupinefish living in large numbers among the corals on the reefs.
Normally he would almost ignore these porcupinefish, but today, all the porcupinefish near the reef were in trouble.
Soon, the sun came to the west.
When Zhang Ze realized it was already evening, he roughly counted what he had gained from his three hours of diving.
There were a number of conchs and shellfish, many of which were Jiangyao. A few lobsters and fan shrimps were caught, but not many.
Overall, Conch Jiangyao can be sold for quite a bit of money.
But in addition to these, there were sixty-seven pufferfish in the space, which was his biggest gain in the afternoon.
Perhaps there are not many natural enemies. These porcupinefish are relatively large in size among their species, so there are seven king-level fish, which bring Zhang Ze 10,300 experience points.
There is currently no market for porcupine fish, so he doesn't plan to keep so many porcupine fish.
With a thought in his mind, dozens of small balloons appeared out of thin air around him, and the scene was very spectacular.
These pufferfish were frightened by the sudden change of environment, so they swelled up into balls again, which made Zhang Ze playful.
Slap it here, kick it there, and play with these pufferfish like balls.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It’s not a pity to let it go, as there are still seven king-level pufferfish left in the space, enough for him to eat.
At worst, he could just eat it and then continue catching. Anyway, Zhang Ze had never seen such an easy-to-catch fish.
Back on the trolling boat, he looked around and found that Jin Sanbao was still collecting the nets. The boat of his brothers-in-law was temporarily missing, so there was no need for him to take out his things.
After returning to the boat, I took a shower and cleaned my equipment. After the shower, I picked up my watch and looked at it. It was almost five o'clock.
Since Jin Sanbao and the others are busy, they won't come over for dinner in the evening, so Zhang Ze can just try the pufferfish hotpot.
One person can't eat too much, so Zhang Ze plans to try the first king fish of the day, spotted pufferfish.
The fish weighed just over a pound, just enough for him to eat alone.
Click the conversion function and the spotted pufferfish will enter the conversion mode.
It still takes some time, so Zhang Ze went to let down the longline first.
After finishing the work, the toxins in the spotted pufferfish had all been converted into nutrients after the boat stopped. He went to the kitchen, and the fish appeared on the chopping board as soon as he thought of it.
These porcupinefish are not difficult to handle, but you should be careful not to damage their internal organs under normal circumstances.
Even after the conversion, Zhang Ze handled it with the same caution.
He knew it wasn't poisonous, but he still felt uncomfortable.
The internal organs and gonads were removed and thrown into the sea. The fish, cutting board and knife were also washed with sea water.
After cleaning, he returned to the kitchen to continue.
Zhang Ze didn't know how to grill pufferfish in any special way, so he cut off a bit of the crystal clear fish meat, dipped it in soy sauce and tried it as sashimi.
The spotted pufferfish is more delicious than the ordinary pufferfish in Japanese cuisine, not to mention that this porcupine pufferfish has been transformed to improve its nutrition and taste, and is probably only slightly inferior to the famous redfin pufferfish.
The meat is clear and glittering, shining like jade, and tastes tender and sweet. As the saying goes, if it is a little lighter, it will be too thin, and if it is a little fatter, it will be too thick.
Zhang Ze closed his eyes and enjoyed the delicious sashimi. Among the sashimi, he currently only likes the prawns, bluefin tuna belly and salmon belly.
Now, we have to add porcupinefish. No wonder it is known as the king of white fish. It is really great.
Zhang Ze, who originally planned to make fish soup with the fish meat, suddenly changed his mind. He cut the fish meat into slices and put it on a plate. He used the remaining fish heads and bones to make fish soup and added some vegetables.
This dinner was very simple, but he enjoyed it very much. The only regret was that the quantity was a little small. One pound of fish was indeed not enough for him, so he could only have two more bowls of rice.
By the time Zhang Ze finished dinner and cleaned up, it was already completely dark.
The longline should be collected at around 8:30, and it is only 6:30 now, so there are still two hours.
In the evening, Zhang Ze actually wanted to use a winch to catch deep-sea fish, so he continued to drive the Duoyu to places where there might be schools of fish.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. Zhang Ze actually discovered a large area of red that suddenly appeared on the fish finder, and finally found a school of deep-sea fish.
This place is not too far from his two deep-sea longlines, and the resources here are much better than over there.
The longline has been lowered, so it is not realistic to change the position.
Now that he had a lot of experience points, Zhang Ze directly exchanged the experience points for a thousand meters of fishing line from the space. It was always a bit troublesome to use the fishing line in the fishing reel, but there was no need for fish hooks.
First, wrap the fishing line around the winch, leaving a section to tie the hook and lead sinker, then hang the bait and throw it into the water.
The water here is 137 meters deep, which is considered relatively deep. It is indeed not easy to fish without a winch or electric reel.
Turn on the winch and slowly let out the fishing line until the taut fishing line becomes loose. Then Zhang Ze knows that the fishing line has reached the bottom.
So he changed the direction of the winch's rotation, reeled in some of the fishing line, and let the hook be about three meters away from the bottom. Then Zhang Ze went over and grabbed the fishing line in his hand.
Without a fishing rod, he wouldn't know a fish is hooked. Only when he holds the fish in his hand can he tell by the pulling force that the fish is hooked.
The fish school on the fish finder was at the bottom, so he could only fish at the bottom.
I waited for a while on the first cast, about a minute or so, and then I felt a pulling force on the fishing line, and it was quite strong.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up. The fish was quite big!
He first pulled the fishing line hard, and before the other hooks were hooked, he started the winch to reel in the fishing line.
If the fish at the bottom of the water are large and not the kind that live in schools, there is no need to use string hooks.
The main string hook is aimed at large schools of fish, and the fish cannot be too big, otherwise if one fish bites the hook, the probability of other fish biting is low even if they are attracted by the bait.
The winch turned slowly, but its efficiency was not as high as a normal electric winch, and it took some time to cover a distance of more than 100 meters.
But the advantage is that it has great power. Even big fish cannot withstand the force of the winch, unless they are huge fish weighing several tons.
After a while, a blue grouper appeared on the sea surface. It turned out to be a fine-spotted grouper, about seventy to eighty centimeters long, quite large.
His fishhook was too small, so it would easily come off under normal circumstances.
After Zhang Ze scooped up the fish, he found that the fishhook almost pierced the fish's lip. No wonder the fish couldn't escape.
After storing it in the space, this grouper weighs more than 17 kilograms and can be sold for more than 70 yuan.
The first one was a grouper, which gave Zhang Ze a general understanding of the situation of the fish school at the bottom of the water.
The bottom of the water should be a terrain like coral reefs, and there should be many kinds of fish. In this case, you have to use larger fish hooks, and string hooks are no longer suitable.
Zhang Ze pulled up the fishing line and replaced the string hook with a larger one, mainly targeting fish weighing about ten kilograms. (End of this chapter)
