My Deep-sea Fishery

Hearing what Xiang Yang said, Chen Bin smiled and stopped talking.

Xiang Yang touched his nose, and he also knew that he would be suspected of slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

But Xiang Yang really thought so in his heart, and Xiang Yang didn't bother to explain the reason to others. Anyway, Xiang Yang didn't care what others thought, so it's okay if he misunderstood.

Chen Qingsheng blamed himself very much. He walked to Xiang Yang and said in a low voice: "Captain, I'm sorry, it was my negligence. I just wanted to drag another net, and I didn't think about collecting fish lights. We Do you want to turn on the fish-collecting lights under the boat? The fish-collecting lights under our boats use cold light, which has strong penetrating power. You can see the light even at a depth of 100 meters above the bottom of the water. I believe it can still attract some people. A sea fish with phototaxis came here."

"How could this be your mistake? I really didn't intend to turn on the fishing lantern at the beginning, but just wanted to try my luck to see if I could catch some Antarctic icefish." Xiang Yang said.

Xiang Yang smiled and patted Chen Qingsheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry about this matter, take a step back and say, we are indeed using large-mesh fishing nets, and the fish-collecting lights can't attract the fish we want to catch."

Xiang Yang's words immediately brought Chen Qingsheng back to his senses, he nodded vigorously, "Okay, captain, then I'll go to the stern of the boat to see if the fishing net is open."

"Well, let's go." Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.

This is of course an excuse. As long as the fishing net is not knotted or stuck, it will automatically spread out into an umbrella shape under the action of the tide, and there is no need for manual inspection.

Xiang Yang asked the crew to take out some pickles and snacks from the cabin, and then invited Chen Bin, "Brother Bin, shall we have a drink?"

Chen Bin was also polite, pulled a chair by himself, sat cross-legged on it, and then let out a hot breath and said, "Okay, I just feel a little cold, take a sip to warm up."

The two opened a bottle of high-altitude liquor and chatted while drinking. Time passed quickly.

Finally, after drinking for three rounds, and the side dishes are almost eaten, Chen Bin said with a smile: "Xiang Yang, I've finished drinking, can I close the net?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "Come on, let's take a look at the stern."

"Captain, Boss Chen, why are you here?" When Chen Qingsheng saw Xiang Yang and Chen Bin coming, he hurried up to meet them.

Xiang Yang asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you gained anything?"

Chen Qingsheng shook his head, his face was not very good-looking, "The net has not been confiscated, and I don't know if there is any harvest, but judging from the vibration of the fishing boat's engine, the captain is not behind, even if there is a catch, he probably won't." a lot of."

Xiang Yang walked to the gunwale at the stern, squinted his eyes and glanced towards the bottom of the sea, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Since it's been delayed for so long, let's just close the net and have a look." Xiang Yang said.

"Yes, Captain." Chen Qingsheng quickly agreed.

Then Chen Qingsheng turned around quickly and shouted to the crew: "Everyone get ready, we are going to collect the net soon."

A group of crew members immediately stood in two rows at the stern holding harpoons, spear guns and other tools.

In the operation room, a member of the engineering team pressed the control switch of the winch, and the fishing net began to be slowly drawn up, and then pulled out of the water by the steel puller under the pull of the winch.

The crew all watched with anticipation, silently praying that this would be another bumper harvest.

Instead, it was Chen Bin next to Xiang Yang, who sighed, "Judging from the speed of the winch and the movement of the fishing net when it was being drawn in, it seems that the school of fish we encountered in the morning has dispersed or swam elsewhere. .”

Xiang Yang didn't speak, just watched quietly.

After the fishing net came up, the expressions on the faces of the group of people immediately collapsed.

Fang Youqun glared, "Why so little? Doesn't it mean that you didn't make back your gas expenses?"

Chen Bin shook his head and said in relief: "Xiang Yang, you don't have to be discouraged. Fishing at sea is just watching the sky for eating. Luck plays a big part."

Chen Qingsheng lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"What are you all doing in a daze? At least untie the fishing net first and see what fish are in it." Seeing that everyone looked downcast, Xiang Yang couldn't help shouting.

"What's so interesting about this? Such a large fishing net and such a small bag of catches are almost like an empty net. If they are exhausted, they will only catch hundreds of catties of fish. This net must be a loss." Chen Bin shook his head. road.

"That's not necessarily the case. In our business, sometimes quality is more important than quantity. If more than a thousand catties of fish are all Antarctic krill or viper fish, then my net must be in vain, but What if it is a rare catch?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Chen Bin smiled and shook his head without speaking.

Chen Qingsheng began to direct people to release the net.

"Huh, what is this fish?" Walking to the edge of the fishing net, Chen Qingsheng was suddenly stunned, and looked into the fishing net in disbelief.

"Brother Qing, what's wrong with you?" Fang Youqun couldn't help asking with a smile when he saw Chen Qingsheng squatting beside the fishing net in a daze.

"Go away." Chen Qingsheng pushed Fang Youqun away, and then shouted to Xiang Yang: "Captain, come and see if this fish is a pompano."

"What? Pomfret under the sky? Let me take a look." Chen Bin kicked his eyes, more excited than Chen Qingsheng, and ran to the edge of the fishing net in one stride.

Tianxia Pomfret is actually Eagle Pomfret, and Tianxia Pomfret is the name called in the hotel.

For marine fish, there has always been a folk saying that "the first pomfret, the second king, and the third king of mackerel".

The No. 1 pomfret refers to the world's first pomfret, which is the best chilled freshness and has the reputation of the world's No. 1 pomfret.

In the early years, some hotel operators simply called it the No. 1 Pomfret in the World when they served their dishes. Later, it was shortened to the World Pomfret. Didn't know its real name was Eagle Pomfret.

In fact, there are many varieties of pomfret in the market, and there are more than a dozen common ones, such as white pomfret, silver pomfret, swallowtail pomfret, eagle pomfret, black pomfret, Jinchang and so on.

But most of the pomfrets on the market are sold artificially.

Many people in the world do not know that pomfret has medical value, and regular consumption is quite effective in treating anemia, premature aging, and malnutrition.

Tianxia pomfret is a chilled dish that can also play a leading role in some high-end hotels. It looks ordinary on the outside, and may not be as good-looking as silver pomfret. In fact, there is a lot of space inside. Only a foodie or fisherman who knows the goods will understand this.

The chef in charge of the Peace Hotel in Old Shanghai No. 1 Hotel once said that pomfret is the best pomfret. It is best steamed or pan-fried, and the price is the most expensive among sea fish.

Chen Bin grabbed a pomfret under the sun and looked at it carefully, "My God, it's really the number one pomfret in the world. It's strange, there's no reason. Although this fish is known as the top three fresh fish, it can't be eaten no matter how you swim. You shouldn’t have swam to the Antarctic Circle.”
