Chapter 675 Providing Benefits to the Elderly (1/2)
Since using the small light stick brought by 껗Li Duoyu, the efficiency of hooking 껗squid has become extremely high.
Large squids were dragged across the deck one after another, with ink spraying everywhere.
After a while, the deck was covered with sticky ink, and every crew member was dyed "black".
The second uncle, who was a little older and tired and was smoking nearby, stretched out his hand to wipe the ink on his face and said with a smile:
"After we go out to sea, we have to ask 껗 to come with us. Every time we come, I feel like there are endless fish to catch."
Chen Liang grinned and said, "That's right, every time Mr. Fish is here, I really can't catch all the seafood."
The eldest uncle sighed: "What are you thinking about? I heard someone say that if 놆Duoyu refused to pay the public rations, 뀪놛 would not go to sea with us with his current status."
"Hahaha."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter: "The most fierce man is when he just got married. He doesn't feel tired every time he does it."
"Duoyu, this is not good. How should I put it? I have to wait at least thirty years before I start to eat fried dough sticks."
One crew member said: "Otherwise, it's fair to say that 껗꽭놆 is fair, his brain is too powerful, and other places can't do it."
"After you said that, I suddenly wasn't so jealous of Duoyu. Damn it. After this trip is over, I'll fight with my guy for 300 rounds."
"Just brag. Don't go back and take off your pants and shout that you want to surrender."
The sound insulation effect of the fishing boat is not very good. There is a wooden board between Li Duoyu and the others in the kitchen, and they listened to every word.
Li Duoyu didn't bother to explain to them how it was possible that he couldn't do it. Now, even if he came three times a night, it wouldn't be a problem.
놙놆Teacher Zhou’s aunt has been postponed for two weeks this month. Li Duoyu feels that 놆꿗 should be recruited, so during this period of time, 놛놆 doesn’t dare to bother Teacher Zhou anymore.
One by one, Pacific tuna (a type of squid) was pulled up from the pitch-black sea and illuminated by light.
The body is shining with bright colors, and it is really beautiful, but the amount of ink it spits out is really large, a squid with half a tube of ink.
Accidentally, the whole body was completely covered in darkness. Fortunately, nowadays everyone's fishing equipment is quite good, and they are all wearing waders and rubber boots.
Uncle Li Nian was really surprised when he saw the squid all over the deck. He has been fishing for most of his life.
When I was at my best, I caught tens of thousands of kilograms of large yellow croaker in one net, but in the end, I felt that it was not as powerful as many fish.
Holding this small light stick in my hand, without thinking, I added this thing, and the fish rate became so high.
This kid really knows everything, and he is still tinkering in the kitchen, saying he is making something called shredded squid.
For such a big squid, people usually catch it and dry it whole, and the price is quite high.
Even in our coastal fishing villages, a squid of this size will be sold for 70 or 80 cents after being dried. If it is sold to the mainland, it can even be sold for a high price of 30 cents. As for the blackest squid at the train station, , Dare to sell it for ten yuan.
If we can catch so many squid every time on this trip, we will definitely make a lot of money. If we fill the entire fish tank, we can make eight or nine thousand in this trip, which is absolutely no problem.
Taking advantage of the squid season, Li Nian planned to make more money, and the third child, Li Zhengfa, planned to buy a new ship.
놛 also plans to give it a try. If 누 makes good money at that time, he will build a ship bigger than 놛 to see if 놛 dares to talk to a brother like himself.
Seeing that everyone was slowing down, Li Nian shouted through the loudspeaker: "Hurry up, don't be lazy, hurry up, let's try to do it in three rounds tonight."
"We are doing three rounds, and we are not allowed to rest or sleep." After Li Sande said this, the crew members all looked at him in surprise.
rest?
sleep?
Are you kidding me? Chen Liang, who was in charge of taking care of the squid, turned pale. Seeing that this guy dared to talk back to the boss of the ship, he scolded him on the spot: "Salinai, why are you just standing there stupidly? Clean the squid quickly, put it in the basket, and take a rest." Shit, I haven’t slept enough in these three days.”
Seeing that 놛 was about to retaliate, Chen Liang kicked him directly: "Go to work quickly, there is so much nonsense."
At this moment, a crew member shouted: "Damn it, why are all the squids flying?"
Everyone looked at the sea. Sure enough, under the dim light, we could see a large number of squid shooting out of the sea.
From its tentacles, you can also see it spraying out a long water column. The moment it flies up, it really looks like a flying fish.
There are so many of them densely packed at the moment, and they are all jumping up and down regularly. It feels like something is preying on them.
Li Duoyu, who heard the commotion, also came out of the kitchen. After watching the scene, he quickly said: "Hurry up and close the line, otherwise we will be doomed."
Sure enough, the next row of hooks was not so smooth. Half of the collected squid were bitten.
This kind of hook is specially used to hang squid. Under normal circumstances, it cannot catch big fish. A few greedy ones swallowed the whole squid hook directly.
After being picked up by the crew, he found that his whole body was like a small cannonball. Chen Liang still thought about going over to catch it, but in the end, a tail swung it over and almost knocked him down.
Fortunately, 놛 was wearing waders, otherwise 놛's calf might have been injured in that moment.
After seeing the fish that looked like a cannonball, Li Duoyu picked up a stick on the spot, aimed it at the head, and hit it twice with "bang bang", which directly made it stiff.
Li Duoyu really didn't expect to catch this kind of fish here, but it was too small, less than 30 kilograms.
This thing can be said to be a baby level in the bluefin tuna family.
Li Duoyu looked at the sea surface. If he guessed correctly, the tuna school should be fishing for this Pacific squid.
It's a pity that tuna is not our target fish today, otherwise we can just change to fishing for tuna.
Li Duoyu didn't know much about bluefin tuna. There is no distribution of this fish in the coastal waters of the United States.
Tuna migrates and rarely stays in the same place for too long, but this kind of fish will swim to the island country along the "Kuroshio" every certain season.
In addition, a population of tuna will really pass through the sea area where Li Duoyu is now, and then pass through the Tsushima Strait, which is the place where Li Duoyu caught a huge bluefin tuna in the island country three years ago.
After seeing this tuna, Li Duoyu was a little excited and wanted to add a meal for everyone to let everyone taste the raw fish meat.
But think about it, forget it, this thing belongs to the top of the food chain, and there are quite a lot of parasites.
Although the islanders love to eat raw fish, they are also afraid of death. Under normal circumstances, tuna is frozen at low temperature.
Through freezing technology, the parasites in the body are frozen to death before they can be served on the table.
So Japanese people rarely get infected with the Anisakis nematode by eating raw tuna, but it is hard to say about other fish.
After Li Duoyu knocked the tuna unconscious.
Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he cut off its tail fin in two or three strokes, and then cut off the aorta in the fish head.
In an instant, the blood in the tuna gushed out. The crew looked at Li Duoyu who killed the fish smoothly and asked curiously:
"Duoyu, don't you know this kind of fish?"
Li Duoyu was stunned: "You don't know it, this kind of fish is tuna."
"No, it's a cannonball fish, we know it, this kind of fish feels a little different."
Chen Liang said in surprise: "Brother Yu, do you want to exchange it for the tuna on your boat?"
Li Duoyu nodded.
Chen Liang's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva: "Then this kind of fish is very valuable, isn't it?"
Li Duoyu smiled: "It's okay, this one is too big, if you sell it to Xinyi Aquatic Products, it can be sold for about 50 yuan. If everyone can get more than five fish, it is really valuable."
"It's just a small amount of money."
Chen Liang, who was almost thrown down by the tail fin just now, opened his mouth and said: "It's so angry at this age. If it's five fish, one tail can probably slap me to death."
Li Duoyu smiled. The last time he caught that big bluefin tuna, he really fished from day to night and almost caught it all.
If he is given another chance now, Li Duoyu may not be able to catch that big fish again.
Due to the disturbance of the tuna school, many of the squids pulled up later had their bodies bitten off in half.
Uncle Li Niantian cursed and cursed. There were explosives and detonators in his cab. He was so angry that he wanted to blow up the fish.
Li Duoyu bled the tuna and threw them into the cold storage of the fish tank.
If he really caught a lot of fish this time, he could sell it to Chen Yusu.
To be honest, this thing is not very delicious. Even if it is processed well, it still has a sour and fishy smell.
To put it bluntly, the value of some things is more about the story behind the fish.
As long as the story is well told, its value will not be low.
Li Duoyu, who has been a chef in the island country for so many years, is quite clear that those who eat the belly of tuna are not eating the fish body. More often, it is a symbol of economic strength and status.
It's the same as the domestic yellow croaker. The taste difference between wild and farmed ones is really not very big.
Some of them are not well preserved, and they are not even as delicious as farmed ones, but the price is very different.
But most of the time, what you eat is not the taste, but the style.
Li Duoyu took a kitchen knife and cut off the squid's head and body on the chopping board. The squid was originally colorful.
After being cut, it turned pale instantly, and the upper body stopped moving.
There are many types of squids, and Li Duoyu is too lazy to distinguish them so clearly, but he often comes into contact with this kind of squid.
The scientific name is Pacific fringefish. In the island country, this kind of squid is often used as sashimi.
In addition, because it jumps out of the water, everyone generally calls it "flying squid".
It is a kind of squid with relatively good quality. This kind of squid is a relatively easy and simple dish to make sashimi.
But when Li Duoyu was working illegally, what he was most afraid of was that customers would order the dish of grilled squid shreds.
Because this dish takes a long time to make, it is quite troublesome. Sometimes, it takes half an hour to make it.
For grilled squid strips, the body (carcass) of the squid is usually used, and the part above the big eyes is the body.
Its head is where the big eyes are, and the parts above are all the body.
Li Duoyu wants the body of the squid, and doesn't care about the head and tentacles.
Some time ago, Li Duoyu used squid from the near sea to make grilled squid strips for the girls in the distribution company.
After all, girls are greedy. Although their responses were good, Li Duoyu felt that it was still a little bit lacking.
The squids from the coastal waters of Fujian Province tasted good when used to make dried squid stew, but the taste was too fishy when used to make grilled squid strips.
This flying squid is not so fishy, and people should be more accepting of it when it is made into squid strips.
After Li Duoyu cut it off with a knife, he pushed the head and tentacles aside and then processed the body of the squid.
Li Duoyu took a large iron plate, put it on the honeycomb coal stove, spread the squid body, and then kept brushing oil and seasoning.
To put it bluntly, it is teppanyaki, and what he is doing now is to fry and grill repeatedly to cook the squid and force out the water in the squid body.
While grilling, Li Duoyu also used a shovel to clean the red skin on the squid's surface.
This thing is the source of the fishy smell of the squid. If it is not cleaned, the grilled squid strips will taste a bit fishy.
Uncle Zhuang, the cook, was watching curiously. It was the first time he saw someone cook like this. He couldn't help asking, "Duoyu, what are you making?"
"Don't worry, I'll make it and you'll know what it is."
After the squid slices were almost baked, Li Duoyu took out a rolling pin and started beating them.
Beat the baked squid slices until they were soft, and then tear them into long and thin strips.
At this time, Li Duoyu's forehead was full of sweat. The last step can be completely replaced by a machine.
But now there is really no machine that specializes in squid shreds. Next, if Li Duoyu really wants to produce squid shreds, he really has to contact his brother's machinery factory.
Let the employees in their factory help design and produce several machines specifically for squid shreds.
Li Duoyu was the first to try the grilled squid strips. Just as he expected, the grilled squid strips made with this kind of squid tasted very good, very fragrant and tasty.
And this kind of freshly grilled squid strips, and the squid strips in the packaging bags sold in the grocery store before, feel like two completely different foods.
Fresh squid strips taste very good, not only very chewy, but most importantly, very fragrant and fresh.
Unfortunately, this kind of dried squid that has not been dehydrated has a very short shelf life and is very easy to mold and rot. It must be kept fresh and quickly frozen.
In this era, if you really want to sell squid strips to ordinary people, you still have to dehydrate them in the end.
After all, not everyone has a refrigerator. If you want to wait until refrigerators become popular, it will be after the millennium.
After Li Duoyu finished grilling the squid strips, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuang, come and try it and see how it tastes?"
When Uncle Zhuang saw that it was squid strips, he waved his hand and said, "I'm old and I don't have many teeth left. I can't chew this kind of squid."
"Try it, this is not as hard as squid."
Uncle Zhuang took the squid strips and ate them, with a rich expression on his face.
"Yes, this tastes very good, much better than our dried squid."
Li Duoyu grabbed a handful of squid strips and gave them to Uncle Zhuang: "Give me some more."
Uncle Zhuang shook his head quickly: "No, my teeth are not good now, it's really too stuck, I'd better eat something simple."
When Uncle Zhuang laughed, Li Duoyu looked at his teeth and frowned.
Uncle Zhuang was not old, about the same age as his father, but because of years of smoking and no habit of protecting his mouth.
His teeth are black and yellow, and they are almost rotten. Not long ago, because of tooth decay, half of his face was swollen due to the pain.
In fact, it is not just Uncle Zhuang. Many old people in Dandan Island whose names start with six characters have teeth that are really not good-looking.
Nowadays, they finally have a good life and can eat fish and meat, but many people's teeth are broken.
In addition to the tooth problem, some old people in the village have cataracts. Li Duoyu thinks that when the time comes, companies like his will most likely be asked to donate.
Instead of handing it over to a certain organization, Li Duoyu thinks it is better to directly seek some benefits for the old people in the village.
There are so many sufferings around, how can I have the mind to look far away. (End of chapter)
