Chapter 209
Nine-section shrimp, whose scientific name is Penaeus monodon, is considered the best among shrimps. People in Guangdong and Fujian especially love this kind of seafood.
Shrimp is rich in nutrients, and its meat is soft and easy to digest. It is an excellent food for people who are weak or need to take care of themselves after illness. Nine-section shrimp is rich in magnesium, which can attract the human body to
It can protect blood vessels, lower cholesterol, and expand coronary arteries, helping to prevent high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.
Of course, shrimp meat itself also has the functions of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, regulating breasts and resisting toxins, nourishing blood and solidifying essence, removing blood stasis and detoxifying, replenishing qi and nourishing yang, unblocking collaterals and relieving pain, appetizing and reducing phlegm, etc.
It is a rare and delicious food.
There is a big difference in the size of the male and female shrimps. Male shrimps are generally about ten centimeters, and the largest ones are only fifteen centimeters. But the female shrimps are different. The big ones can even grow to thirty centimeters, with one weighing up to 500 grams.
It is said that the nine-section shrimp has great integrity. Once it is fished out of the water, it will commit suicide by vomiting its secretions, preventing people from eating them alive.
Of course, there is a time limit to this, after all, you can buy fresh Jiujie shrimp in many places.
Just like picking it up now, as long as it is quickly put into the living cabin, it can be guaranteed to be fresh.
Nine-section shrimp, the one on the left is wild and the one on the right is artificially cultured.
The third cage that was pulled up next contained several more animals, and one of them was bigger. Zhao Qin felt that this one was enough for him to eat.
He also understood that today’s good luck had landed on the ground cage. The area before was the Dongfeng Snail, but now it was the Nine-section Shrimp.
There is no reel to retract the cage. It is very tiring to rely on people to pull it. Part of the ground cage will get stuck and requires force. There is also a part that is half buried in the mud. It is also very heavy.
Halfway through, although the harvest was okay, Zhao Qin was already out of breath.
“Brother, I’ll pull the rest.” Seeing that his breathing was getting heavier and his whole body deformed when he exerted force, Ah He knew that he probably couldn’t pull it anymore.
“Come here, I’ll take a break.”
Zhao Ping came down and asked Zhao Qin to go to the bridge and rest while driving the boat, while he was responsible for bending down to pick.
Ah He took over, and the harvest in the ground cage did not stop. There were shrimps in every net. Some were not big, but there were many, and some had a few big ones.
After all fifty cages were pulled out and put back, Zhao Qin glanced at his watch and saw that it was only half past four.
“Go home.” Zhao Qin turned the boat around and started driving towards the town dock.
On the way, Zhao Qin said to Ah He: “A He, put all the Dongfeng snails at the bottom of the barrel, and use miscellaneous snails on top to cover it. If you can try to minimize the limelight, let’s do it as little as possible.”
There’s nothing the shrimp can do, and there’s nothing they can do about being seen.
When he arrived at the dock, Zhao Qin asked the two of them to carry the groceries up first, while he went to ride a bicycle and took two large buckets from the purchasing station. When he came to the dock, he saw no one around his goods and said with a smile: “It’s quiet today. ”
“I just came to see it, and all I saw were worthless groceries. Everyone dispersed again.”
“That’s just right. Brother, hurry up and fish out the shrimps. I’ll transport them to the collection station first.”
Because it was carried in buckets, some people nearby saw that they were still unloading the goods, and they didn’t pay much attention. What good things could be found in buckets.
The three of them quickly transferred the shrimps to the big bucket in the car as if they were guarding against thieves. Zhao Qin took the three-wheeler and ran away. When they came to the purchasing station, Chen Dong stepped forward out of curiosity and said, “What good goods are there without asking?” ”
“Brother Dong, I’m afraid to tell you that you used a loudspeaker to broadcast.”
“Okay, I’ll help you cover it from now on.” Chen You said a little embarrassed.
Zhao Qin smiled and asked him to help lift the big bucket down. Chen Dong went in and grabbed it, and said excitedly: “Nine-section shrimp, both buckets?”
When the bucket was brought down, Chen’s father also came down from upstairs and said with a smile: “Aqin is back.”
“Dad, Aqin is a handsome guy again today.”
Father Chen stepped forward and copied it with his hands, “Hey, nine-section shrimp, Ah Qin, leave two catties for me to drink tonight.”
“Uncle, there are mother shrimps, pick some big ones.”
After unloading the barrels, Zhao Qin rushed to the dock without stopping. He happened to bump into Qian Kun on the way, and he had to stop the car to say hello.
“Money is always good.”
“Aqin, I was just looking for you. Lao Ye came over yesterday to do some work and gave you and me two barrels of tea each at my house. Please take the time to come and pick it up.”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Qian.”
Qian Kun also knew that he was busy, so he waved his hand and told him to go ahead and go home after finishing his work.
After pulling all the things to the purchasing station, Chen Dong was overjoyed to see those Dongfeng snails, “Aqin, the goods you sent today may not be the most expensive, but they are definitely the best-selling ones.
Let me tell you, those restaurants love these two beauties. ”
“Whether it can be sold or not is your business, Brother Dong, let’s weigh the snails first.”
The total weight of the snails is 57 pounds. There are not many blue crabs this time, onlySeven, a little over 4 jin, shrimp mushrooms weighed about 50 to 60 jin, and several lobsters weighed 6.3 jin in total, which was not small.
The ground trap also collected some small white shrimps and miscellaneous fish, which were simply left as bait for tomorrow.
Then weigh the nine-segment shrimps. The female and male shrimps were separated. Zhao Qin took the scoop net and picked out the eight largest ones, which were estimated to be about three jin. “These are for my uncle to drink tonight.”
Seeing him pick out 11 more and put them aside, Chen Dong asked curiously: “What are you keeping them for?”
“I’m eating them myself.”
Chen Dong was speechless. He weighed the rest. There were still 23 jin of female shrimps and 50 jin and 3 liang of male shrimps.
“Aqin, shrimps are in season in August and September, and they taste the best. The price is slightly higher. I’ll give you 120 yuan per jin for large female shrimps, 80 yuan for male shrimps, and 100 yuan for flower snails. The rest are the old prices.”
Chen Dong wrote the bill while talking, and the total amount was 14,150 yuan.
Zhao Ping came over just after the bill was settled. Zhao Qin handed him the bag and asked Chen Dong for a small convenient bag. He put four shrimps in it and went to Qian Kun’s house.
They said it was two barrels of tea. Zhao Qin thought it was a small jar in a gift box, one jar of two taels or half a catty. But when he went to get it, he found that it was really a barrel. The weight of a barrel was 1000 grams. Two barrels equaled four catties of tea.
Mr. Ye is really generous!
Qian Kun was also very happy to see the nine-segment shrimp he brought. He also liked it and accepted it happily. He took another small jar of tea to Zhao Qin and said that he asked a friend to bring him to Anxi to buy it in the first half of the year.
“Brother, you and Ah He go back first. I have something to do. You can take my bag back with you.”
Zhao Ping was too lazy to ask him what he was going to do. He called Ah He and went home.
Zhao Qin came to the place where fishing gear was sold in the town. He first bought a fishing hook, and then found a shop that made iron tools and bought a few steel pipes.
Unfortunately, he had no connections, so he couldn’t buy a crossbow, otherwise he could buy two crossbows and put them on the boat.
Today, the other party cut his buoy, and he took away several of his nets. If he met them again tomorrow, it would not be as simple as a few words of scolding. He must prepare some handy tools, after all, there are only three people on his side, and there are four on the other side’s boat.
After sending these to the cabin, he went home with peace of mind.
As a result, when he got home, he found that his elder brother was busy making a slingshot. He slapped his forehead, thinking that his elder brother was smart. This thing is easy to use. If it is accurate, the lethality is not small.
“Brother, are you accurate?”
“I shot sparrows when I was a child, but I haven’t touched it for many years. I have to find the feeling.”
“Brother, look what I found.” Ah He ran in in a hurry, holding a long cloth bag in his hand.
Zhao Qin opened it and took a look, and suddenly he realized something. “Take it back and put it away. How come you still have it at home after I put it away several times?”
