Chapter 518
The fish porridge was eaten at night, which was the most convenient. Besides, Lao Mao was sick, so it was best to eat something thin.
The fish porridge was very substantial, and almost everyone could get a pound of fish, so it was no problem to fill their stomachs.
After the goods were divided, Achen and Zhuzi had nothing to do after washing the deck, so they came to the wheelhouse to accompany Zhao Qin to brag.
“Aqin, there are no other obstacles around here, I will take the helm for a while, you close your eyes and rest.”
Zhao Qin nodded and gave way, always giving Zhuzi a chance to practice, in a few months his other boat would be back,
then he and Lao Mao would be on the same boat, and he thought of letting his elder brother and Zhuzi drive the new boat.
He took out a cigarette and lit one for each of them, and Achen took out a lighter to light the two.
“Achen, cook a pot of rice later. Do you still have the eggs you brought?”
“There are still quite a few.”
The thing that is most in short supply on the boat is eggs. Not only will my sister-in-law and the old lady prepare them for them, but even Lao Mao and the others seem to have discussed it. Every time, someone will bring dozens of eggs.
And everyone knows that Zhao Qin is picky and only eats free-range eggs, so no one uses purchased eggs to make up for the number. All of them are from domestic chickens.
Sometimes they bring too much and have to take it home after going out to sea.
“So, cook a big pot of rice later, cut some carrot cubes, and then pick up a few lobsters and peel the meat. We will have shrimp fried rice for supper.”
“Okay, then I’ll do it now.” Achen said and left the wheelhouse.
“Aqin, I won’t go to Beijing this time. Your sister-in-law is due in April.” Zhuzi understood that since Zhao Qin said it, the trip to Beijing was a foregone conclusion.
“We will go in June. My sister-in-law will definitely be out of confinement by then. It’s just right for us to go together. As for my little nephew, let his grandmother and grandma take care of him. What are you worried about?”
Zhu Zi’s mother Zhao Qin has also seen her. She is a very skillful woman, and she is also very particular.
The last time Zhao Qin went to her house, before dinner, Zhu Zi’s mother used boiling water to scald all the dishes and chopsticks. It can be seen that she did not do this because of his visit, which means that she had this habit before.
Seeing Zhu Zi hesitate, he naturally could not force a request, “You go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law. It’s not easy for your sister-in-law to be pregnant. It’s not easy for her to be out of confinement. It’s good to take her out for a walk.
I heard that pregnant women are prone to anxiety, and it’s just right to relax.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go back and talk to your sister-in-law.”
“There’s another thing. The ship that left us this morning seems to be the same ship that left us when we went out to sea. It’s obviously targeting us. How about I find a few people to discuss it after we dock?” Zhu Zi thought of another thing and changed the subject.
“I can almost guess who it is. Don’t worry about it. I can handle it.”
“What I mean is, find a few people and don’t worry about other things. Beat them up first. Don’t worry, they won’t get to you.”
“Brother Zhuzi, I still don’t believe you! As for beating people, it’s fine. Wait for my notice and we’ll discuss it on the shore.”
Zhao Qin was of course angry. After all, he was disgusted by the same ship twice.
He is not a noble man, let alone an honest man, so he doesn’t mind using some tricks.
After sleeping for more than five hours in the afternoon, the three of them were in good spirits. They were supposed to raise the net at one o’clock, but they said that this net would take a little longer.
So Zhao Qin arranged the time to raise the net at about three o’clock in the night.
Although Zhuzi was driving the boat, Zhao Qin didn’t dare to close his eyes to rest. He was not worried on the deck because Achen was there. Although this kid was getting more and more naughty, he was also more and more careful.
He looked at the positioning on the GPS to ensure that the route was okay, and glanced at the water meter from time to time.
The area they are in now is the deepest waters of this operation, reaching more than 130 meters.
He marked it on the GPS and calculated the time. At this moment, it was the third day after turning over all night. The requirement was to return to the port before 19:00 this afternoon.
From now on, there are still 17 hours.
Well, after dragging this net, it is time to rush back. Maybe we can drag two or three nets. So far, we have dragged 5 nets. If we drag another 3 nets, it will be just enough for each person to get one net.
“Aqin, why don’t we go a little north? Why does the water feel deeper and deeper?” Zhuzi looked at the water meter. It was nearly 140 meters now.
“It’s okay, keep pulling. The hauling line is long enough. After dragging this net, we will go north for three to four nautical miles, then turn west and start towing the net back.”
If we take a straight line from here to return to the port, it will take about ten hours. This is too wasteful. It is better to go back from the west.
When Zhao Qin turned over at night, he checked the system. Today’s real-time luck value was 57 points, and it was pointing to the east.
Time passed quicklyAt half past three, Zhao Qin took over the rudder, and Zhuzi went to raise the net with Achen.
This net was of course Zhuzi’s. After the net was raised, Zhuzi looked at the harvest in the net, and was surprised and embarrassed. He ran to the wheelhouse immediately, “Aqin, Achen and I are too busy.”
“I think it’s just over two tons.”
“It’s not a lot, but it’s hard to sort. It’s all shrimp.”
Zhao Qin was stunned, then quickly jumped out of the wheelhouse and came to the deck to take a look. Sure enough, it was all shrimp, slightly smaller than the nine-segment shrimp, and the red color was very pleasing to the eye.
Just at this time, the old cat just got up.
“Brother Mao, what’s wrong with you…”
Old Mao waved his hand and said first: “I was sweating, now I feel better. Oh my God, how come there are cherry shrimps here?”
He turned back to the cabin and returned after a while: “I’ll call everyone out, hurry up and divide them, and try to keep them alive. The price of dead shrimp is only one-fifth of that of live shrimp.”
“Is the difference so big?” Achen was surprised. Generally, dead seafood will be discounted, but there are also 50% to 60% of the price of live ones. This shrimp is five times different, which is too exaggerated.
“This shrimp is the best for sashimi when it’s alive, but it tastes bad when it’s dead. Hurry up, Aqin, don’t stand there stupidly, there’s no one in the wheelhouse.”
Zhao Qin said lightly, and quickly threw the shrimp in his hand into the net basket next to him, and turned and ran back to the wheelhouse.
This shrimp is also the first time he has seen it. He was just reading the introduction of the system.
Sakura shrimp, also called flame shrimp in some places, is smaller than nine-segment shrimp. The size of the shrimp itself is smaller than that of nine-segment shrimp. The size of the shrimp just caught in the net is considered large.
The whole body of fresh shrimp is red, and if it is not fresh, the color will be white. It grows in subtropical waters with a depth of 100 to 250 meters.
It is a unique species in Taiwan Province of my country. There are also a small number of shrimps in the local coastal areas or Southeast Asia. It is one of the main species farmed in Taiwan Province.
The price of this kind of shrimp farming is not high, about 40 yuan per catty, but the price range of pure wild shrimp is very large, and the system estimates it at 26 yuan per catty.
Zhao Qin didn’t understand why it was so low at first. After listening to Lao Mao’s words, he reacted and thought that the system was estimating it according to the fresh shrimp.
Zhao Ping and his team all got up and had to put the shrimp into the live cabin as soon as possible while they were alive.
However, they only had half an hour to grab the shrimp. After half an hour, the shrimp would be exhausted. In addition, they were overloaded, so the big ones had to be put into the cold storage. There was nothing they could do about it.
If we calculate it comprehensively, this net should be worth 200,000.
Zhao Qin has already turned the rudder and circled to the west. The sky is getting slightly brighter now.
“Brother, eat quickly, and then you can sleep for a while.”
“Almost. I have been making up for three hours. I don’t feel very sleepy.” After packing up the goods on the deck, Zhao Ping came to the rudder room and wanted to exchange hands with Zhao Qin.
Sakura shrimp, the most beautiful
