The intersection of salt and fresh water is rich in nutrients. In addition to various plankton and molluscs, fish schools are extremely dense.
However, due to the fishing technology of this era, in most cases, we can only watch the fish and sigh.
When Li Jie was traveling between Yangkou Dadi and the newly built Jiangyin Dike, he saw with his own eyes a "carapace king" that was at least three meters long, also known as the Chinese sturgeon.
This giant thing...is delicious whether steamed or braised.
"Shou Li, there is a fishing season!"
Once there are splashing and flashing fish on the river surface, it means that there are giant creatures in the water nearby that are hunting fish.
Generally speaking, most of the cetaceans at the estuary are expert hunters. They have amazing speed and super high IQ, and their efficiency in hunting fish schools is better than that of all fishermen in this era.
Without Li Jie, the fishing efficiency of Jiangyin City and even the whole land of Wu and Yue would be just soy sauce in the inland rivers.
"What is it?!"
Li Jie took out a telescope and muttered while looking at the chaotic school of fish, "Could it be those stinky dolphins that snatch my fish every day and have blocked you more than a dozen times? Don't let it go this time."
I caught you!"
"Shou Li, is he a river pig?"
Sha Hen was now naked from the waist up, licking his lips, his eyes full of excitement. Hunting whales is quite difficult, but once you become proficient in it, it's actually pretty average.
A winch was installed on the ship, and the small amount of steel was processed into a steel crossbow body. Although maintenance was troublesome, the efficiency of hunting whales was good. After the whaling harpoon was fired, as long as it hit, the long-beaked whales and minke whales would be killed.
They can't run away, and ordinary cetaceans are even more vulnerable. When the winch pulls them, they will most likely die in the water.
"Damn, no."
He put away the telescope. It was a treasure. It took a lot of effort to grind out a few sets of the glass, but they were all saved. The remaining glass slag was reheated, and a few more cups were made and given to the old monster.
According to the old monster, it was fished out of the water when we went to sea.
King Gou Chen of Wu thought that this was a gift from one of the "Four Dragon Gods", so he took the glass suit that Li Jie had paid tribute and put together a "Dragon God Suit", probably with the intention of taking it into the tomb.
.
Many big guys wanted to take a look, but the old monster had no intention of giving it. Instead, he asked these bastards to go to Jiangyin City to discuss with Li Jie to see if they could fish some from the Yangtze River or the East China Sea.
The relatively powerful mountaintops, such as the Yao family, came to ask Li Jie and said that you have to help get a few of these things, and good dysprosium is not a problem.
County Magistrate Li thought for a while and said that the Dragon God might be a little short of money recently. If you pay more, maybe when I go to the sea to perform, the Dragon God will be happy and reward him with a set and a half.
As soon as he heard about the drama, Mr. Yao immediately said, "Ojbk, that's the good thing about rich families. For them, money is just a number."
What they pursue is "eternal life".
The enjoyment of "eternal life", the dignity of "eternal life", and the elegance of "eternal life".
A bumpkin like County Magistrate Li wants to vomit when he sees them, but there is nothing he can do about it. He has to have a good meal, and he also has to be loyal and moral. After receiving the money, he has to do things.
Who told Yao to give money...how could he be so happy?!
So he went to the sea in person. He had to show his attitude and beg for food from the Dragon God. As the county official of Jiangyin City, it would appear that he took action in person.
As for when you go back, just give me two glass marbles and you'll be done.
The main task of surface operations is to find a few dolphins or the finless porpoise family that are wandering around and committing crimes. These guys have robbed Li Jie of too many fish, and the matter is endless!
"It's not a finless pig." Shaheng was a little disappointed. He had been played by a family of dolphins several times, but none of them were caught. Most of the cetaceans hunted recently were black finless porpoises, and these finless porpoises were still
After being crippled by dolphins, he was on the verge of death before being caught by Sha Hem.
"How many boats came out today?"
"Twelve."
"Signaling, there's a shark ahead, it's a big one."
"yes!"
What came back this time was not a whale, but a hammerhead shark, which must also be a large group, coming to the estuary to snatch the food of the whale and dolphin gangsters.
Every time a shark encounters a marine rogue, it will run away first, and then rely on its well-developed sense of smell to wait until the rogue is no longer roaming its territory before coming back to steal the shark.
In short, guerrilla warfare is the norm for sharks.
Perhaps because of the water temperature, sharks like bull sharks will occasionally appear nearby, but bull sharks are more aggressive and dare to go deep into freshwater areas, so they die the fastest.
County Magistrate Li organized a fleet of boats and sailors to hunt for fish at the estuary. Hundreds and dozens of southern bull sharks were caught. The old monster ate bull shark meat that was like soft tofu several times since the spring plowing.
Yes, bull shark is different from its relatives. The meat is quite delicious and does not have a strong smell of urine. And the quality of the shark fin is quite good. Every time the old monster eats it, he eats three big bowls like a fan.
The dog shark has a similar taste to the bull shark. Unexpectedly, it is also found in the Yangtze River estuary these days. It can even be found near the reefs in the tidal flat area east of Donglu City and Dongsha.
Shaheng first blew the horn, and then asked the flagman to hoist the flag on the mast watchtower. Soon, the other eleven ships began to approach.
The efficiency of hunting sharks is much higher than that of cetaceans, because sharks are very greedy. Even a piece of bloody fish tied with a piece of hemp rope can attract the shark, and then it will plunder the piece of fish meat.
At this time, there is no need for a ship's steel crossbow, only a whale harpoon!
Killing one shark will not alarm the other sharks, but will attract more sharks to surround you.
If you are lucky, you can catch more than a dozen large sharks, giant sharks over two meters tall.
The liver of this giant animal is extremely useful. In addition, the fish bones and internal organs can be ground into fish meal. It is quite cost-effective to use fish meal as a breeding feed and meat protein supplement on the farm.
In addition to feeding poultry and livestock, fishmeal is also very effective in feeding slave labor. For example, when baking bread, you can add a little fishmeal. You can also break up various scraps of meat and mix it with fishmeal to make biscuits and pastries that are durable in storage.
, this is also quite delicious for slave workers.
Because it’s really delicious, although County Magistrate Li definitely won’t eat it.
"Generally, sharks like this don't come. It seems that there is really abundant food nearby."
"Get off the net?"
"J."
The sound of the horn sounded, and the fishing net made of mixed textiles was immediately thrown down from the boat. This is a kind of seine net, the float is made of bamboo tube, and the pendant is a stone.
Multiple boats working together can still operate in vast waters, but it is more troublesome and occasionally not very efficient. The purpose of the fence is to prevent sharks from escaping. If they hit the net, they will not be able to escape. If they do not hit the net,
The only thing to deal with them is the harpoon.
Every time the net is lowered, the fishing net made of blended fabrics will be heavily damaged. For ordinary counties or small countries, it is difficult to bear this kind of loss for a long time.
But for Jiangyin, this loss was just a drizzle. When Li Ming decided to process the supplied materials, it had already shown that the textile processing in Yinxiang had surpassed the level of this era.
The efficiency is not on the same level, and most of the silk and hemp in Jiangyin City are not actually local products, but imported from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River or north of Huai County.
As for the raw silk imported from Vietnam, there are even more. Among the ships plying the Five Lakes Channel, one of the ten ships may be from Jiangyin City.
Originally, there were not many ships in Yinxiang, but Li Jie used the title of King's Strong Man to rent hundreds of ships from more than a dozen ports in Suzhou. The total capacity of these large and small ships was enough to support Li Jie and his dogs.
If you go to Gongzi Ba’s hometown to have fun, you might even be able to directly destroy Gongzi Ba’s hometown.
"Close the net!"
"Close the net!"
Wuwuwuwuwu...
The horn sounded, and Sha Hen pointed towards the extra-long harpoon. This special harpoon was more like a spear, and it required a lot of attention.
Because the power of the giant shark in the sea water is quite strong, when Sha Hen succeeds in one blow, he must either get rid of it quickly, or he must immediately make another strike.
The cooperation between sailor hunters requires a lot of training before they can achieve an incomparable tacit understanding.
Li Jie was very good at comparing prices. At the critical moment, he chose fried fish.
What should I do otherwise? Just watch the fish run away?
If they don't exist, I would rather blow them up than let them run away. Otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy fish elsewhere? Moreover, dolphins also like to bite sharks, and they will eat any sharks they encounter.
This gang of gangsters is extremely efficient in their work. In the entire Yangtze River estuary, they are the only competitors to the sailors in Jiangyin City.
Compared with dolphins, losers like long-beaked whales are just younger brothers.
"What a T-shark!"
Shaheng, whose eyes were shining, exclaimed. Hammerhead shark is a bit difficult to pronounce. T-shaped shark is the best to remember, because this kind of shark has the shape of "T".
It is not easy to kill them in the muddy water area. You can only continuously enclose the net, and then cooperate with the closing of the net to gradually control these giants in a narrow area.
If there is someone who hits the net, it is naturally the best. If not, it just depends on the sailor hunters' eyesight and their ability to seize the opportunity.
"Why are these beasts coming to the Yangtze River if they can't live happily in the Bohai Sea? Whose fish do you think is bad, but my fish? Damn it, if I can't kill the dolphins, I can't kill you?"
County Magistrate Li gritted his teeth. The sales of salted fish have been so good recently, but the production cannot keep up. Are you in a hurry?
He didn't want to eat bull shark. Although he was still working as a foreman, a certain Lao Guang cooked a meal of shark that didn't smell like urine for him to try. It was as tender as tofu.
County Magistrate Li admires Lao Guang very much. The shark can make the texture of tofu fish, which is so awesome.
However, County Magistrate Li didn’t know how to do it himself, but this time, seeing so many hammerhead sharks, and the fishy smell coming from the churning yellow water, Magistrate Li’s expression gradually became abnormal: “Your sister’s
, I’m going to make a braised *** to try today!”
"The first Li is a T-shaped shark."
"Skin the T-shaped shark and make it into a bastard!"
