Chapter 480 Cut Into Eight Pieces

Ye Yaodong looked at the small wooden boats on the sea that were so crowded that they could barely get out of the way. Many fishing boats had caught many jellyfish.

He felt that there was no point in being here anymore, so he might as well go back and prepare the tools to kill the jellyfish. He was also afraid that it would take too long and the jellyfish on his boat would die, making his work in vain.

When he goes back, he can take the jellyfish from the boat and teach his wife and sisters-in-law how to kill them.

This has to be steamed before it can be transported. Who told them that there is no processing plant that directly processes jellyfish? Otherwise, they can just take it to the factory after killing it, which saves him the trouble.

Seeing the boatmen all around him lying on the edge of the boat trying to catch the jellyfish, he wanted to remind them to bring them to the shore early, otherwise he would not let them die.

But the engine on his boat was a bit loud, and the boat was quite far away, so everyone might not be able to hear him when he shouted.

】

He simply shouted a few words to the nearby boats, saying that he was going back to prepare, and reminded them to send them back as soon as possible while they were still alive, and left first.

Fortunately, it was not far from the coast. After Ye Yaodong reached the shore, he quickly called Ah Cai, who was sitting on the shore with his legs crossed, to help him lift the two large baskets of jellyfish onto the cart.

"Why are you carrying this thing back? You have to kill this thing while it's still alive. Can you still kill it?"

"Yes, I can give them all their parts, will you accept it?"

"I didn't accept this thing..."

"Then you can help me ask. It's the flood season for jellyfish at the border of Zhejiang and Fujian. There must be someone collecting them there. You know more people than me. Ask me."

"Do you know about the flood season over there?"

"I can pinch and calculate!"

Ah Cai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, let me ask you. Also, the few seal fish you raised at my place died when there was a power outage during the typhoon, and I never found a chance to talk to you. explain."

"If you die, just die. I'm going back first. Ask me quickly." Ye Yaodong had already forgotten the three fishes. He had no time to care about those fish now. He pushed the cart and hurriedly Run home.

Lin Xiuqing was sitting at the back door, making nets and joking with Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye Er, while the old lady was holding the child and coaxing her.

At this moment, a group of children shouted, "Second aunt, third aunt, mother, third uncle calls you to go to the door to help..."

"Mother, mother, father calls you..."

One by one, they rushed over and called each other in a disorderly manner.

"What are you helping? Why do you need so many people? I'll go take a look first." Lin Xiuqing inserted the needle in her hand into the fishing net in confusion, stood up and went to the front door.

Ye Yaodong had already unloaded all the jellyfish from the car. He shouted into the house: "Ah Qing, come out and help with the kitchen knife and cutting board. Are there any other knives at home? Take them out together and ask the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to come over too. help."

"What are you doing?"

"I caught some jellyfish and came back. You can ask your eldest and second brothers to come over and help you kill them. I will teach you how to kill them."

"Why……"

Ye Yaodong went straight into the house to get a basket, a big bowl, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, and a stool without waiting for her to say anything.

Sister-in-law Ye, Sister-in-law Ye, walked from the back door to the front door of their house and heard him preaching to them about killing jellyfish, and she immediately had n questions in her mind.

Will he kill jellyfish?

"A Dong, are you going to teach us how to kill jellyfish?"

"Yes, I just caught two baskets. You guys help me kill them. I'll calculate the wages. Someone will send them over later. I'll ask you to help me, otherwise it will be a pity to die."

Lin Xiuqing followed him and said in confusion: "Isn't this dock not open to collection? There's no point in saying it's dead."

"That's why we have to kill them alive and process them before they can be transported, sold and processed. Go get a cutting board and I'll teach you how to kill them. Remember to wear gloves. This jellyfish is also a type of jellyfish and is also poisonous."

As soon as Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye heard about the wage calculation, they immediately ran home to get a kitchen knife and cutting board. They also took two knives and asked Brother Ye to join them. They were also helping to weave the net at the back door.

The family is about to have a big expense. Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye both have a sense of urgency. Now they are all thinking about making money.

Lin Xiuqing was still puzzled, "How could you kill this thing? Seafood is not allowed to be sold while it is still alive or fresh. No one wants this jellyfish if it is dead. Will anyone want it if it is killed?"

"I know a lot of things. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean I don't know how to do it. There are very few jellyfish here. It's not a place of origin, and of course there's no place for me to show off. I have to kill these things alive and cut them into pieces." No one wants it until the blocks are classified.”

Ye Yaodong saw them all coming over with kitchen knives and cutting boards, so he grabbed a jellyfish and prepared to demonstrate it to them.

The smallest one weighs more than ten kilograms, and the larger one weighs more than 20 kilograms. They are not light in weight, and they look very heavy.

"Be careful when you catch it. Be careful of its feet. Don't get stung. First remove the jellyfish whiskers that can sting people, then cut off the jellyfish's tentacles and chop it in half."

Jellyfish toxins are concentrated in the beard, so you must be careful.

The meat on this part of the tentacles is thick, crispy and chewy. The fishermen call it "jellyfish claws", but when it comes to the dinner table, it is called "jellyfish head".

Ye Yaodong explained to them while cutting, and they carefully grabbed one and followed him.

"After separating the head and cover, take its feet and cut them into small pieces. Once they are done, take the cover and peel off its brain and put it in a bowl..."

Ye Yaodong skillfully cut the jellyfish legs into small pieces and threw them into the basket, then took the head over. The green thing underneath was the jellyfish brain.

In fact, jellyfish do not have a high-level organ called "brain". The brain of jellyfish is actually its gonads, which can also be called jellyfish.

He watched them follow them step by step, and continued when they made no mistakes.

"After digging out the jellyfish's brains, we started scraping the jellyfish's blood, which is the brown circle under the umbrella."

Jellyfish blood is not the blood of jellyfish, it is just a brown film attached to the lower surface of the jellyfish umbrella. This is also the most expensive and valuable jellyfish.

But Ye Yaodong saw that they had scratched it as soon as they scratched it, so he didn't dare to move, and quickly reassured: "It doesn't matter, it won't affect it if it's broken, it's like this for the first time, just scrape it off." This jellyfish is originally glued, so if you scratch it like this, it’s normal for it to get scratched, and it won’t affect it anyway.”

"This thing is quite troublesome, but killing fish is easy." Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help complaining.

After scraping, all that's left is the jellyfish skin. This is how a complete jellyfish is divided.

"That's it. After knowing the division, it's actually quite simple."

Lin Xiuqing also finished cutting up a jellyfish on her hand. She frowned and looked at him and said, "Now that these are cut up, are they going to be sold in pieces?"

"Someone will just take them all away."

I just don’t know if Ah Cai can ask? If he couldn't, he would have to find it by himself. Fortunately, he could leave it for a while after processing it.

"That's good, don't work in vain." Lin Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone wants it.

"Hurry up and kill them while they are still alive. Don't kill them if they are dead. Ah Qing, you need to boil the pot of water first. The jellyfish blood must be boiled first, and then taken out to dry. The jellyfish brains must also be blanched."

The old lady put the child on the bed in the room for the three boys to look after, then ran over and watched for a long time.

I always wanted to help but couldn't intervene. After hearing this, I quickly said, "I'll come, I'll come, I'll boil the water, I can do this job."

After waiting for a long time, there was finally something she could do. The old lady quickly went into the house to boil water. She couldn't help complaining, "I didn't tell you earlier, so I spent a long time here..."

Jellyfish blood can be stored for a short period of time as long as it is boiled and dried. The semi-finished product is definitely available for more than ten yuan per pound.

Jellyfish brains are not very valuable, but they are very fresh, especially soft and tender, suitable for making soup.

The jellyfish head and jellyfish skin are the most important edible parts of the jellyfish. After being treated with "three alum and two salts", they are not only not easy to deteriorate, but can even be transported over long distances.

Even though he had two big baskets of jellyfish, there were six or seven of them per person. Once he became proficient, he would kill them all quickly.

"Is this gone?"

Sister-in-law Ye said with unfinished meaning, she just helped kill so many people, how dare they accept the money.

"Is that just a few?"

Second Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but complain that there were just a few people in such a hurry and they were so anxious to ask them to help kill them. They even asked them to calculate the wages. Did they think they had never seen the money?

When they helped kill fish in the past, when did they calculate their wages?

However, Ye Yaodong suddenly realized that he did not have a large scale and would not be able to weigh himself at that time. "Hey, you guys, hurry up and put the stools, kitchen knives, and cutting boards on the cart, and take a few empty baskets and washbasins with you. I'll I’ll take you to the dock to kill.”

The eyes of the two sisters-in-law suddenly lit up, "There's more!"

"Yes, I told other fishing boats when I was salvaging that if no one at the dock collects them, I will collect them."

It would be safer to kill them directly at the dock, lest those people were delayed at sea for too long and it would be too late to pull them back after being weighed.

As for the method of dividing jellyfish, it doesn't really matter if they have been taught. They have few jellyfish and they are not the place where they are produced. Just learn from the past, and it may not be useful.

It doesn't matter if you can handle it, it's good for everyone. You can handle it if you occasionally pick it up, and eat it by yourself.

The cold jellyfish is crispy, tender and refreshing, mixed with a little cucumber. It is very suitable for eating in the hot summer and is also a good drink with wine.

Although they were surprised to hear that Ye Yaodong was collecting jellyfish from other fishing boats, they had work to do, so why not do it?

But Lin Xiuqing was a little worried about whether it would sell well or not. It's all what he said just now, and the dock won't accept it.

Just get some of it yourself and go back to it. It doesn't cost anything anyway. Who would have thought that he would actually receive the goods from someone else?

"Ah Dong, is this good for sale? If we charge too much and can't sell it, we will have to lose money."

Ye Yaohua and Ye Yaopeng were also worried about him.

"Dongzi, you should either sell these things of yours first, and then..."

"It's too late to collect anything after selling it. What's more, I only made a small amount, so how can I sell it? The quantity must be larger, otherwise, who will collect your small amount of goods? It's not enough for travel expenses."

Ye Yaodong didn't have this worry. One pound was a penny, one or two cents or two or three cents each. He only charged 100 yuan for 10,000 catties.

He didn't even have the courage to lose 100 yuan, not to mention those fishing boats couldn't catch 10,000 jins, and they didn't have that many in the sea.

Besides, he has to think on the bright side. If this can be sold, he can double it several times.

There has to be someone who eats the crab first!

Before you even start to do anything, you start to badmouth, worry about this, worry about that, it’s a waste of time.

What's more, it is clear that the risk is low and the return is high.

Just scraping dozens of kilograms of blood from the sea sting is enough for him to earn a lot of money. Other parts are not so valuable, but they weigh enough!

You can still give it a try.
