Seeing the scene in front of them, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao couldn't calm down. They didn't care about the gentleman being far away from the kitchen, and walked straight towards the fish cooking area.
"Sir, this is a work area. Outsiders and idlers are not allowed in."
Aunt Wang was busy killing fish. When she saw Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others coming over and affecting her and others' work, she also reminded her.
"Sorry, we are just curious and just taking a look. It won't delay your work."
Li Dongyang raised his hands to Aunt Wang and said.
"Then take a look, but not in front of the road."
Aunt Wang looked at the clothes of the three people, and then at the guards around them. She knew that the three people in front of her were either rich or noble, so she did not dare to drive them away.
"well."
Li Dongyang nodded in agreement, and then began to look carefully.
"These fish are so big. Any one of them weighs several kilograms. Some of the big ones even weigh more than ten kilograms or dozens of kilograms. It took two people to lift that one, so it probably weighed hundreds of kilograms."
Zhou Jing was also watching carefully. There were fish everywhere in front of him. There were baskets of fish. They were all very big and of many kinds. When Zhou Jing looked carefully, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to recognize any kind of fish.
"What kind of fish are these? They are neither silver carp, grass carp, nor carp, but I don't even recognize any of them."
"If I guess correctly, these should be sea fish."
Li Dongyang thought for a while and said.
"Sea fish?"
Zhou Jing and Zhang Mao's eyes widened slightly in disbelief, and then they looked carefully at the fish in the baskets. They found that they were indeed not common river fish.
"Madam, these must be sea fish, right?"
Li Dongyang took out a small piece of silver and threw it to Aunt Wang, and asked with a smile. He was naturally older than Aunt Wang, so it was appropriate to call him that.
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up when she saw the broken silver that suddenly fell into her hand. She quickly put the silver away and said with a smile: "This gentleman is right, these are all sea fish, they are all caught from the sea.
of sea fish.”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately became more energetic.
Zhou Jing thought for a while and asked quickly: "Looking at the number of sea fish here, I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of catties?"
"What's this? We here alone eat 40,000 kilograms of marine fish a day, plus other shipyards, cement plants, maritime colleges, etc. in Tianjin, we eat nearly 100,000 kilograms a day.
The fish are coming."
Aunt Wang smiled with a strange look, she accepted other people's money, and now she knows everything and talks about everything.
"Eat 100,000 kilograms of sea fish in one day?"
When Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao heard this, they were immediately frightened by this number. What is the concept of one hundred thousand catties of sea fish? If piled together, they would become a small mountain.
"Where did you get so many sea fish?"
Zhang Mao couldn't help but ask at this time.
"I told you that it was caught from the sea."
Aunt Wang looked at the three of them and said: "You can find out if you go to the Tianjin Port Terminal. Every morning, the fishing boats that go out to sea will come back. One boat can catch more than 100,000 kilograms in a day.
Sea fish.”
"Several boats go out every day, but we can't finish the fish we catch. Now they are drying the fish and preparing to transport it to other places to provide relief to the victims."
“Can one boat catch more than 100,000 catties of marine fish in one day?”
Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao were dumbfounded again, as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and they couldn't believe it at all.
"As I said, you can go to the Tianjin Port Terminal in the morning and take a look and you will know. There is no need for me to lie to you."
"All this is thanks to Mr. Liu. It was Mr. Liu who came up with the idea of fishing at sea, so we in Tianjin were able to attract a large number of victims. Relying on these sea fish, Tianjin supported nearly ten people.
There are ten thousand people.”
Aunt Wang shook her head slightly, these people seemed like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
"It seems that this penny per pound of meat is real."
After hearing this, Zhou Jing immediately understood. Now he understood everything. One penny and one pound of meat refers to this sea fish meat.
A single boat in Tianjin Port can catch more than 100,000 kilograms of marine fish in a day. If there are more than a dozen fishing boats, wouldn't it be possible to easily catch millions of kilograms of marine fish in one day?
"How many fish are there in the ocean?"
Zhou Jing was from Yangqu, Shanxi, and was considered an inland person. He knew very little about things in the ocean, and in this era when the sea was forbidden, he knew even less about it.
Sail is not allowed to go into the sea, and even fish are not allowed to be caught in the sea. Naturally, he does not know how rich the fishery resources are in this ocean. All he can think of is fishing in rivers and lakes, and he cannot imagine it at all.
This boat can catch more than 100,000 kilograms of marine fish in one day.
"Of course there are more. There are many kinds of fish in the sea, they are big and the yield is high. We almost feel like vomiting after eating this fish meat."
Aunt Wang smiled and nodded and said, to be honest, she fled to Tianjin relatively early and worked here in Tianjin very early. She ate fish every day and every meal. Now she feels like vomiting when she sees fish.
"Eat meat until you vomit?"
Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao looked at each other in shock.
Again, meat is extremely precious and rare in this era. People who can eat meat all the time are really rich people. Generally speaking, wealthy landowners in the countryside may not be willing to eat meat every time.
Nowadays, some people actually eat meat until they feel like vomiting, and no one would believe it if they tell them.
The three of them looked at this lively open-air kitchen area again. What they saw and heard today was absolutely incredible. The impact of this sea fish was like a tsunami in the sea, destroying their inherent thoughts, ideas, and concepts.
Wait for the impact to fragment.
For the source of food, for the source of meat.
In their old concept, this food should be the same as the poem about compassion for farmers. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned, and every grain of grain is hard-earned. As for meat, it is even more precious, rare, and ordinary.
It is difficult for ordinary people to eat a meal of meat.
But now, Tianjin actually goes out to sea for fishing. This boat can catch more than 100,000 catties of marine fish in a day. These more than 100,000 catties of marine fish mean more than 100,000 catties of meat and more than 100,000 catties of grain.
This food and meat seemed to come too quickly and easily, making it difficult for people to accept. It seemed very absurd and unbelievable.
"I will definitely go to Tianjin Port Terminal to see for myself tomorrow morning."
Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said.
"Me too~"
Zhou Jing nodded solemnly and said.
"me too."
Zhang Mao's eyes were shining with light, and he was also ready to take a look in person.
