Along with the shouts of the crew, the catch in the net was poured directly onto the deck of the ship, accompanied by a strong fishy smell. This person, who had nothing to do, took a small stool and sat next to the catch, and began to sort it into the prepared basket.
The bottom of the basket is covered with layers of ice, which looks like they want to freeze the fish directly into the warehouse. However, this is normal because these fish are deep-water fish. After being suddenly exposed to the strong pressure of water, they will definitely develop air in their lungs. After being fished out, they will not be able to survive. They have been in the sea for such a long time. If these fish are not frozen, they will probably have gone bad long ago.
So even if it is caught, it will definitely be dead. It is better to freeze it directly and store it in the warehouse. When it is taken out for sale, it can still be sold as fresh. The fish that has even just been unloaded from the boat is the most popular fish for people on the shore.
There were really a lot of fish in this net. Wang Shiyu sat in the rocking chair next to them and watched them pick up all the fish. It took them nearly two hours to pick them all up. The remaining fish were not thrown back into the sea, because they would have no chance of survival if thrown back into the sea, and they would just be corpses. So they used the sauce they brought to make braised fish, or spread the fish on the deck to dry and make dried goods to take home to eat. Because these small fish were left for the workers, they could eat them however they wanted and no one would usually care.
However, it was made clear long before setting out to sea this time that there were distinguished guests on board, so the dried fish could not be dried on the deck. After all, they still had to move around on the deck, and if the fish were dried, the smell would be too strong.
So after these people were given small fish and shrimps and those small fish and crabs that could not be sold at a high price, they gathered together in the kitchen and asked the chef to make them braised fish with sauce. It was great to have a meal after a tiring night, otherwise it would be a waste.
When Wang Shiyu woke up again, the boat was almost filled with the smell of stewed seafood, and one could even smell the spicy scent of chili peppers. It seemed as if something was fried with chili peppers, which was why the smell was so pungent.
Wang Shiyu looked at the sky silently. It should be morning now. Is it possible to eat something so exciting so early in the morning?
Last night, when they were still picking up fish, Wang Shiyu couldn't help but go back to rest. It was really too late, and their actions were all the same. Most of the sea fish were sea bass, and the remaining precious ones were packed separately. So the value of this net was not too great, but it was better than an empty net.
The main reason was that she watched too late, so she didn't know what time they had worked. But after smelling the spicy smell, she understood that they must have just finished work and needed to eat before they could sleep. After these people came on the boat, their day and night were reversed. Not to mention resting, they couldn't even eat on time, so the time they worked on the boat was very hard.
Fortunately, the boat has now stopped and dropped anchor, waiting for the shrimp and crab cages to be lowered. When the time comes, they will be pulled up and continue sailing forward. So at this time, those who are rowing the boat at the bottom are also eating and drinking with everyone on the deck. Since they do not need to control the direction of the boat at this time, it is okay to take a break.
Moreover, Yu Xiuming didn't care about them at all. As long as he could control their direction and avoid any accidents, that would be enough. Because at this time there were still people under the boat sticking to their posts, fixing the direction of the boat, and not letting the boat move with the drift of the sea water, lest the direction of sailing be lost. In this way, they could not find any landmark objects on the sea to distinguish the direction, and it would be very easy for something to happen in the vast ocean. The people he brought this time were all elderly people, so Yu Xiuming was not worried.
So no matter how safe it is, they have to find a good direction to ensure that their boat will not deviate from the course due to the turbulence of the water waves. The floats on the crab cages and shrimp cages can also show them the direction. The stopped boat is somewhat unstable because it drifts with the waves, which may not be very friendly to people who are prone to seasickness, so Wang Shiyu took seasickness medicine in advance.
Hearing the sound of people eating outside, Wang Shiyu woke up, but did not go out. Instead, she got up and washed her face with the remaining water from yesterday. Then she took out the hand cream and slowly took good care of her hands. These were the hands she used to eat. She had never cared so much about his own face.
She slowly applied hand cream onto her hands, even into the gaps between her nails. It was made with lard as the main ingredient, so it was very oily. It took a while for it to be absorbed after application, so she raised her hand and looked at her pair of delicate claws.
After taking care of her hands slowly, she took out the chalk specially used for drawing patterns and began to draw the pattern of butterflies and peonies that she wanted to embroider on the clothes.
All the details had to be drawn in little by little, including the details inside. This was a delicate job. In order to avoid sudden changes in position during embroidery, it was better to draw them now than to embroider them blindly. The main reason was that she might not have time to embroider another one. It took her a whole morning to slowly draw out the details she wanted.
