The chatter lasted for more than an hour, or in other words, only Boss Yu here thought it was a chatter.
With a little verbal guidance, Lin Mo basically got a rough idea of smuggling gangs, boat gangs, boat bandits, fish tyrants, etc., and all kinds of water-related forces in the surrounding area.
He was talking happily, and the gangs in the two counties on the Yangtze River were fighting with each other, joining the gangs, jumping gangs, flying around, etc., and they were so loud that they had noses and eyes, but at this time the ship came back.
For the fish boss, business is more important than bragging, so after finishing the story with a few words, he went straight to the shore and waited.
Lin Mo showed regret on his face, and wanted to chase the fish boss to ask for the story. After a few perfunctory words, the fish boss waited for the boat to dock with a disappointed look on his face.
As soon as the boat docked, the fish boss couldn't wait to get on the boat. After checking it, he waved with a smile and asked the store to push the fish cart.
The fish began to be unloaded, and a lot of these deep-sea fish were harvested. There were more bonito fish, fewer amberjacks, the most mackerel, almost no sea bream, some miscellaneous ones, and a few big ones.
Bonito fish, known as bomb fish or cannonball fish among the people, are shaped like cannonballs and round. Most of them are small smokers, but even the small smokers have been bled.
Of course, there are also large bonito, estimated to be nearly one meter long and weighing one to twenty pounds, but there are not many of them, only five or six.
There were only a dozen amberjacks, but they were not small in size. Half of them were over one meter, and the largest one was estimated to be thirty or forty pounds. Lin Mo helped catch it, deliberately pretending to be struggling.
There are only a few snapper fish. This type of fish swims slowly and likes to live in coral reefs. It is estimated that they only collect fish at the river mouth. This type of fish should rarely swim to such places.
There are more Spanish mackerel, but most of them are less than ten pounds. They are probably blue-spotted mackerel, the so-called mackerel. This fish tastes quite good without bleeding, but these have also been bled.
I don’t know how it tastes?
But there should be more than just blue dots. Lin Mo also saw a lot of them with slightly different appearances, but he couldn't tell who they were, but seven or eight of them should be Kang's and Chinese Squid.
Why? Because those ones are big! In addition to the ones weighing 60 to 70 kilograms, there are also two that are nearly two meters long and weigh more than 100 kilograms. One of them is even more than two meters long. It is estimated to weigh more than 200 kilograms. Five or six people
With cooperation, he removed it. Lin Mo remembered that only these two types had this shape.
As for the miscellaneous fish, they are also fish that do not taste very good and are rarely caught in general, such as large barracuda, also known as sea wolf, and mahi mahi, also known as ghost head knife, etc., only three or five fish were received on the boat.
.
Lin Mo speculated that the recent hotter temperatures and limited rainfall in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River may have caused these fish to migrate to the coastal areas to feed near the river mouth. However, these things were very complicated, and Lin Mo could not figure out the reason.
.
As for the big ones, including the largest giant mackerels, the remaining ones, the most conspicuous one, is a swordfish over three meters long, but the sword on the fish's head is broken, otherwise it would definitely be over four meters long.
.
According to the crew, several fishing boats encountered a school of small fish and lowered their nets with all their strength. It was estimated that the fish were feeding there. When one fishing boat raised the net, the fish rushed out to grab the food and bumped into the boat.
The sword on the fish's head directly pierced the side of the boat, but it also knocked itself unconscious. The fishermen took the opportunity to find something to knock it to death. However, because the piercing position was below the waterline, the boat sank to prevent water from entering.
, so I had to cut off the sword on the fish's head.
This fish was really big and heavy, so all the crew members, including Lin Mo and others, all worked together to lift it into the fish bank.
The next big fish, strictly speaking, is not considered seafood. It is a big fish caught in the river mouth, such as sturgeon. It is also more than three meters long. Lin Mo can't figure out the specific type. The crew and fish boss all call it by its common name.
, and this thing is basically no longer seen in later generations.
This one was probably the third largest in size. Lin Mo could be sure it was a tuna, probably a yellowfin tuna. It was over 2 meters long and about 200 kilograms, which was smaller than the two above.
The remaining one was a sea wolf, which was almost two meters tall, but the weight was far different, probably only thirty or fifty kilograms. However, the fish head full of fangs in its mouth was quite shocking.
As soon as the fish was unloaded, the fish boss replenished the fishing boat with a batch of ice cubes and set sail again to collect the fish normally. Then he hurriedly came to check on the fish that had just been delivered.
"Let's cut open a few fish and take a look!" Lin Mo looked at the fish blood and it should be OK, but there was no difference from the outside.
"...That's right..." The fish boss slapped his forehead, and quickly selected a few fish and took them to the fish table to cut them open and check them, pinching them, squeezing them, and smelling them.
In the end, I wasn't sure how much difference there was, so I took some that had not been bled before. Comparing them all, I could clearly see the difference in flesh color. The boss also took a piece of raw fish and put it in his mouth to taste it. No blood was bled.
After chewing it for two times, I couldn't help but spit it out.
"After bleeding, the quality of the meat has indeed been greatly improved. The fishy smell is basically gone, and the sourness is also greatly reduced. Some of them still taste a little sweet, but this kind of fish has not changed much."
The fish boss first confirmed the effectiveness of the bloodletting method, but also pointed out that even bleeding one of them would not work.
Lin Mo looked at his finger and found that it was a cigarette. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be right! So he picked another cigarette and asked the boss to cut it. When he cut it, he could clearly feel the difference in flesh color and other aspects.
"This type of fish seems to die quickly after being unable to swim online. It is estimated that the fish has been dead for a while during the bloodletting, and the bloodletting did not have much effect."
After the boss took a bite, he confirmed Lin Mo's statement. Although the quality of the meat was not that good, it did not have the fishy, sour smell.
"As for the sour taste, it should be kept chilled for some time, and it should be further improved." Lin Mo didn't hide too much, so he explained.
The boss was relatively happy, but he had a headache after looking at the fish. The condition of the fish's flesh was hard to tell on the surface, but most of these fish were quite large. Cutting one off would cause a lot of damage, and it would be difficult to preserve it after cutting it.
I'm afraid it's not easy to do business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can cut a piece of meat near the tail of the fish and check it. The blood vessels there are also concentrated. There is no problem with the meat there, and there should be no big problem with the whole fish.
.”
Seeing the boss's confusion, Lin Mo reminded him again, and the boss thanked him gratefully.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, Lin Mo started to pick the fish. The boss also helped cut off a small piece from the tail of the fish to check. If there was any problem with the meat quality, he would discard it and replace it with a new one.
Lin Mo did some calculations and found that the proportion of problems was not low, at least one-fifth. It may have something to do with improper initial operation, but the condition of the fish when collecting the fish must account for the majority of the cause.
However, these are things that the fish boss should consider and find solutions to. Lin Mo continued to select the fish he was going to buy.
The fish are within the normal size range, that is, neither very big nor very small. When the fish reaches adulthood, fishermen can catch more sizes, but Lin Mo also chooses the larger ones.
The quantity is also limited to 100 catties of a single species. If it is less than 100, all will be taken away. However, the boss will keep a few to taste for himself. For the mackerel, which can obviously be divided into several types, the boss does not sell them separately, but this kind
It tasted good, so Lin Mo bought some more.
After finishing the selection, Lin Mo was a little confused when he looked at the big fish. There were only a few fish, but they were heavy! Some were seriously overweight.
The boss is also a little uneasy. Normally they don't accept such big fish. They usually go to larger fish piers like Shiliupu or Songhu. In such places, all kinds of fishmongers and fish bosses, big and small, gather together so that they can sell them.
Go out, after all, even if the unit price is cheap, the total price is not low based on the weight.
I guess those golfers thought they were being taken advantage of and wanted to rip off customers, so they took matters into their own hands. However, when they arrived at the shore, they found that they were having a good chat with them. After unloading the goods, they ran away immediately. Those who didn't know thought they were very diligent...
…
"If you want it, you can cut it up and buy it. If you don't want it, I'll just keep it and sell it." The fish boss said, taking the initiative to shoulder the burden without mentioning the faults of those people.
Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled bitterly and said: "I just want to buy the whole thing! With this thing everywhere, just carrying it and walking around the street twice is probably enough to make people talk about it for several years. I guess those companies can
I’m very satisfied, but I don’t think there’s a big box to put all these things in!”
Lin Mo's real idea is to buy a whole piece and take it back, so that everyone can open their eyes and gain insights. After all, seafood in this era is usually only common in seaside cities, and there are no short videos on the Internet. Most of the team members have little seafood.
I have seen and tasted them, let alone these rare ones. If you want to have a long experience in this era, you really have to travel thousands of miles.
If Xiaojiazi is so angry that he cuts it into pieces and takes it back, then forget it. Even if he cuts it into several pieces and brings it back, the intuitive feeling will be greatly weakened. In fact, there is not much need to take it back.
After hearing this, the fish boss was worried for a long time. This kind of refrigerator box seemed to be hard to find on the market. However, after he ran to the utility room behind the store and rummaged around, he found a few good ones.
The box comes.
There are two two-meter-long ones, and a few about one-meter-five-meter ones. These were made before and were used for chilled storage in the store, but they are difficult to move because of their size, and the ones he mainly sells are small ones.
The fish in the pile were easily deformed and difficult to find, so they were later replaced with smaller boxes and these were discarded and thrown into the utility room.
After confirming with Lin Mo that he wanted to buy the big fish, he cleaned the box and checked the condition. It was OK and there were no problems.
After finishing it, he asked Lin Mo which big fish he planned to buy. Lin Mo said that he would buy seven or eight big mackerel and the four big fish if he could carry them.
The fish boss made some calculations, and took apart one side of each of the two-meter and one-and-a-half-meter-long boxes and prepared to piece them together. Fortunately, the width and height of the two boxes were the same, and they were connected using mortise and tenon joints.
It was demolished, but the boss seemed to be very familiar with carpentry.
Then I found a piece of wood about ten centimeters wide, and hammered and sawed nails. After cutting out the required length, I first marked the outside, leaving a finger-width gap between the boxes, and filled it with straw, cotton, linen and fine mud.
Compact it, so as to achieve better thermal insulation effect, and then nail the inside with wooden strips.
The boss's craftsmanship is very good and he works very quickly. From preparing the materials to getting the box ready, it only took less than 20 minutes. Lin Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up. This kind of mobility is really impressive.
Everyone took the empty boxes and first went to the fish to check. After confirming that there was no big problem, they sent the boxes to the boat. Several fish need to be put in one box. If you put them in and lift them, it is impossible to lift them.
When I got back, I started to clean up, and the speed was quite fast. After all, the fish were relatively big, and there weren’t many in total. It took a lot of effort to move them onto the boat and put them away. It took a lot of effort, especially the biggest ones, from Song Jinwei.
After getting it done over there, I came back to help and successfully loaded it into the cabin. Otherwise, Lin Mo would probably have to expose some of his strength.
