Chapter 675 Providing Benefits to the Elderly (1/2)

Since I started using the small light stick that Li Duoyu brought, my efficiency in catching squid on the hook has been extremely high.

Large squids were dragged onto the deck, shooting ink everywhere.

In a short time, the deck was covered with sticky ink, and every crew member was dyed "black".

The second uncle, who was a bit old and too tired to smoke nearby, reached out to wipe the ink on his face and said with a smile:

"In the future, when we go to sea, we will still have to invite many fish to come with us. Every time he is around, it feels like there are endless fish to catch."

Chen Liang grinned and said: "Yes, every time Brother Yu is here, there is really no end to the seafood."

The eldest uncle sighed: "What are you thinking about? I heard people say that if Duoyu hadn't refused to pay the public rations, with his current status, he wouldn't have gone to sea with us."

"Hahaha."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter: "The most powerful thing about a man is when he just got married. He can do it every day without feeling tired."

"Duoyu, this is a bit bad. How can I put it, at least you have to wait until you are thirty before you start to stick to it."

One crew member said: "Otherwise, God is fair. If your brain is too powerful, it won't work in other places."

"After you said that, I suddenly wasn't so jealous of Duoyu. Damn it. After this trip is over, I'll fight with my guy for 300 rounds."

"Just brag. Don't go back and take off your pants and shout that you want to surrender."

The sound insulation effect of the fishing boat was not very good. The kitchen where Li Duoyu was located was separated from them by a wooden board, and he listened to every word.

Li Duoyu didn't bother to explain to them how it could be that he couldn't do it. Now, even if he came three times a night, it wouldn't be a problem.

It's just that Teacher Zhou's aunt has been postponed for two weeks this month. Li Duoyu feels that he must have been tricked, so during this period, he doesn't dare to torment Teacher Zhou anymore.

One by one, Pacific tuna (a type of squid) was pulled up from the pitch-black sea and illuminated by light.

The body is shining with bright colors, and it is really beautiful, but the amount of ink it spits out is really large, a squid has half a tube of ink.

If I wasn't careful, my whole body would be completely covered in darkness. Fortunately, everyone's fishing equipment is pretty good these days. They were all covered in waders and rubber boots.

Uncle Li Niantian was really surprised when he saw the squid all over the deck. He has been fishing for most of his life.

When I was at my best, I caught tens of thousands of kilograms of large yellow croaker in one net, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I still didn’t feel as powerful as many fish.

He held this small fluorescent stick in his hand. Unexpectedly, he added this thing, and the fish catching rate became so high.

This kid really knows everything, and he is still tinkering in the kitchen, saying he is making something called shredded squid.

For such a big squid, after they catch it, they usually dry it whole and make it into dried squid, and the price is quite high.

Even in their coastal fishing villages, a squid of this size would be sold for 70 to 80 cents after being dried. If sold to the mainland, it could even be sold for 30 to 40 cents. As for the blackest squid at the train station, it would cost 10 cents. I dare to sell it for money.

If this trip can catch so many squid every day, it will definitely be a huge profit. If the entire fish cabin is filled, making eight or nine thousand in this trip will definitely not be a problem.

Taking advantage of the squid season, Li Niantian plans to make more money, and the third child, Li Zhengfa, plans to buy a new ship.

He also plans to give it a try. When the time comes and he makes good money, he can build another one bigger than him. Let's see if he dares to talk to his elder brother.

Seeing that everyone was slowing down a bit, Li Niantian shouted through a loudspeaker: "Hurry up, don't be lazy, hurry up, let's try to do three rounds tonight."

"We are doing three rounds, and we are not allowed to rest or sleep." After Li Sande said this, the crew members all looked at him in surprise.

rest?

sleep?

Are you kidding me? Chen Liang, who was in charge of leading him, turned pale. Seeing that this guy dared to talk back to the boss of the ship, he scolded him on the spot: "Salinai, why are you just standing there stupidly? Clean the squid quickly, put it in the basket, and have a rest." Shit, you haven’t slept enough in these three days, haven’t you?”

Seeing that he was still planning to talk back, Chen Liang kicked him directly: "Go to work quickly, there is so much nonsense."

At this moment, a crew member shouted: "Damn it, why are all the squid flying?"

Everyone looked at the sea, and sure enough, under the dim light, a large number of squids could be seen shooting out of the sea.

From its tentacles, you can also see it spraying out a long water column. The moment it flies up, it really looks like a flying fish.

There are so many of them densely packed at the moment, and they are all jumping around regularly, giving the impression that something is preying on them.

Li Duoyu also came out of the kitchen when he heard the noise. When he saw this scene, he quickly said: "Hurry up and close the line, otherwise we will be finished."

Sure enough, the next hook row was not so smooth. More than half of the collected squid were bitten.

And this kind of hook specially used to hang squid cannot catch big fish under normal circumstances. Only a few greedy ones swallow the whole squid hook directly.

After being picked up by the crew, he found that his whole body was like a small cannonball. Chen Liang still wanted to catch it, but he swung his tail and almost knocked him down.

Fortunately, he was wearing waders, otherwise his calf would have been injured from the blow just now.

After seeing the fish that looked like a cannonball, Li Duoyu picked up a stick on the spot, pointed it at his head, and used the two sticks "Bang Bang" to directly freeze it.

Li Duoyu really didn't expect to catch this kind of fish here. Unfortunately, it was too small, weighing less than thirty kilograms.

In the bluefin tuna family, this thing can only be said to be at baby level.

Li Duoyu looked at the sea surface. If he guessed correctly, a school of tuna should be fishing for this kind of Pacific soft fish.

Unfortunately, tuna was not their target fish today, otherwise they could have directly fished for tuna instead.

Li Duoyu still knows a little about bluefin tuna. This fish is not found in China's offshore waters at all.

Tuna is migratory and rarely stays in the same place for too long. However, this fish will swim to the island country along the "Kurotide" every certain season.

Among them, there is a population of tuna that will actually pass through the sea area where Li Duoyu is now, and then pass through the Tsushima Strait, which is where Li Duoyu caught a huge bluefin tuna in the island country three years ago. .

After seeing this tuna, Li Duoyu was still a little excited. He wanted to give everyone a snack and let everyone try the sashimi.

But think about it and forget it. This thing is at the top of the food chain and there are still quite a lot of parasites.

Although the islanders love to eat fish fillets raw, they are also afraid of death. Under normal circumstances, tuna has been frozen at low temperatures.

Through freezing technology, the parasites in the body are frozen to death before being served to the table.

Therefore, people in the island country rarely get infected with the anisakiasis from eating raw tuna, but it is really hard to say about other fish.

After Li Duoyu knocked out the tuna.

Holding the kitchen knife in his hand, he chopped off its tail fin in two or three strokes, and then cut off the main artery of the fish's head.

In an instant, the blood in the tuna's body surged out. The crew saw Li Duoyu performing a set of fish-killing moves smoothly, and asked curiously:

"Duoyu, do you know this kind of fish?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment: "You don't know, this kind of fish is tuna."

"I don't know, Cannonball Fish, but we do know that this fish feels a little different."

Chen Liang said in surprise: "Brother Yu, is this the kind of tuna that replaced your boat?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

Chen Liang's eyes widened and he swallowed: "Isn't this kind of fish very valuable?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "It's okay, this one is too small. If sold to Xinyuan Aquatic Products, it can be sold for almost fifty yuan. If everyone can get one weighing more than 500 kilograms, it is indeed quite valuable. "

"It's only such a small amount of money."

Chen Liang, who was almost thrown off by the tail fin just now, opened his mouth and said: "You are so strong for such a small amount. If it weighs 500 kilograms, one tail can probably slap me to death."

Li Duoyu smiled. The last time he caught that big bluefin tuna, he caught it from day to night, and almost everyone was caught.

If he was given another chance now, Li Duoyu might not be able to catch that big fish again.

Due to the trouble caused by the tuna school, many of the squids pulled up later had half of their bodies bitten off.

Uncle Li Niantian was swearing. There were really explosives and detonators in his cab. He was so angry that he wanted to blow up fish.

After Li Duoyu bled the tuna, he threw it into the cold storage of the fish cabin.

If you really catch a large number on this trip to sea, you can completely sell this thing to Chen Yuanyu.

To be honest, this thing is not very delicious. No matter how well it is processed, it still has a sour and fishy smell.

To put it bluntly, the value of some things lies more in the story behind the fish.

As long as the story is well told, its value will not be low.

Li Duoyu, who has worked as a cook in the island country for many years, is quite clear that those who eat tuna belly and the like are not eating the fish itself, but more often, it is a symbol of economic strength and status.

Just like the domestic large yellow croaker, the taste difference between wild and farmed fish is really not that big.

Some of them are not well preserved and are not even as delicious as the farmed ones, but the price is hugely different.

But most of the time, what you eat is really not about the taste, but the style.

Li Duoyu held a kitchen knife and cut off the head and body of the squid with the fried dough sticks on the chopping board. The originally colorful squid was still very bright.

After being cut, he instantly turned pale and his upper body stopped moving.

There are so many types of squid that Li Duoyu is too lazy to distinguish them clearly, but he comes into contact with this kind of squid often.

The scientific name is Pacific squid, and in island countries, this squid is often used as sashimi.

In addition, because it can jump out of the water, people generally call it "flying squid".

It is a kind of squid with better quality. This kind of squid is a relatively easy and simple dish to make as sashimi.

But when Li Duoyu was working illegally, what he was most afraid of was having customers order freshly grilled shredded squid.

Because this dish takes a long time to make, it is quite troublesome. Sometimes, it takes half an hour to bake it.

For grilled shredded squid, the body (carcass) of the squid is generally used, which is the part above the big eyes.

Its head is right at the big eyeball, and all the parts above it are the body.

What Li Duoyu wants is the body of the squid, not the head and tentacles.

Some time ago, Li Duoyu also used small squid from offshore to make grilled shredded squid for the girls in the distribution company.

After all, girls are more greedy. Although their response is very good, Li Duoyu feels that it is still a little bit bad.

Their squid from the offshore waters of Fujian Province tastes good when used to make dried squid stew, but when used to make grilled shredded squid, the taste is too fishy.

This kind of flying squid is not so fishy. If you make shredded squid, everyone's acceptance should be better.

After cutting it off with a knife, Li Duoyu pushed the head and tentacles aside, and then dealt with the body of the squid.

Li Duoyu took a large iron plate, placed it on the briquette stove, spread the squid body, and then kept brushing oil and seasoning.

To put it bluntly, it is teppanyaki, and what he is doing now is to repeatedly fry and grill the squid until it is cooked, and at the same time force out the moisture in the squid.

While grilling, Li Duoyu also used a shovel to clean off the red layer of skin on the squid.

This thing is the source of the fishy smell of squid. If it is not cleaned up, the smell of grilled shredded squid will be a bit fishy.

Uncle Zhuang, the leader of the team, looked on curiously. This was the first time he saw someone cooking this way. He couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, what are you cooking?"

"Don't worry, you will know what it is when I finish it."

After the squid slices were almost cooked, Li Duoyu took out a rolling pin and started beating it.

Beat the grilled squid slices until they become soft, then tear them into thin strips.

At this time, Li Duoyu's forehead was covered with sweat, and this last step could be completely replaced by a machine.

But now, there is really no machine on the market that specifically presses squid shreds. Next, if Li Duoyu really plans to produce squid shreds, he really has to contact his elder brother's machinery factory.

Let the employees in their factory help design and produce several machines specially used to press squid shreds.

Li Duoyu was the first to try the grilled shredded squid. Just as he expected, the grilled shredded squid made from this kind of squid tasted very good, very fragrant and delicious.

This kind of freshly grilled shredded squid feels like two completely different foods than the shredded squid in packaging bags sold in grocery stores in my previous life.

Fresh shredded squid tastes very good, not only very chewy, but most importantly, very fragrant and fresh.

Unfortunately, this kind of dried squid that has not been dehydrated does not have a particularly long shelf life and is easily moldy and rotten. It must be kept fresh and quickly frozen.

In this day and age, if you really want to sell shredded squid to ordinary people, it will eventually have to be dehydrated.

After all, not everyone has a refrigerator. If we want to wait for refrigerators to become popular, it will have to be after the millennium.

After Li Duoyu made the grilled shredded squid, he said with a smile: "Uncle Zhuang, come and try it and see how it tastes?"

When Uncle Zhuang saw that it was silk made from squid, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm old and I don't have many teeth left, so I can't chew this kind of dried squid."

"Would you like to try it? This one is not as hard as dried squid."

Unable to resist the hospitality, Uncle Zhuang took the shredded squid and started eating it, with a rich expression on his face.

"Okay, this tastes very good, much better than our sun-dried squid."

Li Duoyu grabbed another handful of shredded squid and gave it to Uncle Zhuang: "A little more."

Uncle Zhuang shook his head quickly: "No, my teeth are not good now. They are really stuck. I'd better eat something simple."

When Uncle Zhuang smiled, Li Duoyu looked at his teeth and couldn't help but frown.

Uncle Zhuang is not too old, just like his father, but he has smoked all year round and has no habit of protecting his mouth.

The teeth are black and yellow, and are almost rotten. Not long ago, due to tooth decay, half of my face was so painful that it was swollen.

In fact, not only Uncle Zhuang, but many old people on Dandan Island whose names begin with six characters are really good-looking.

Nowadays, we have finally lived a good life and can eat fish and meat. However, many people have broken teeth.

In addition to dental problems, some elderly people in the village also have cataracts. Li Duoyu feels that by then, companies like his will most likely be asked to donate.

Rather than handing it over to an organization, Li Duoyu thought it would be better to directly provide some benefits to the elderly in the village.

There are so many sufferings around us, so how can we think about looking into the distance? (End of chapter)
