Chapter 280： Return

Come to the kitchen, Chu Mingcheng put the fish on the cutting board.

The back of this ox-eye bluefish is very thick. When it was slaughtered just now, there was a lot of internal fat. It is an extremely fat fish.

Jiang Luoluo stood quietly by the side and watched quietly. She really couldn't think of something delicious that had to be prepared several days in advance before eating.

Chu Mingcheng picked up the kitchen scissors and cut off the fish's fins.

The gills of the visceral fish have been removed just now, but there is still a layer of film at the position of the fish spine that needs to be cut open with a knife.

Then the blood clots inside were exposed, and the blood was frozen. Chu Mingcheng took a small brush and washed it clean with water.

The whole fish is washed very clean, and it must be guaranteed that there is no blood at all, otherwise there will be a fishy smell.

Then he took kitchen paper to absorb all the moisture inside and outside the fish, which is very important.

The water was almost absorbed, so he stuffed a special paper for ripening into the belly of the fish to further absorb the water.

The outside was also wrapped with mature paper, and then a transparent plastic bag was taken to put the fish in.

"This is the preparatory work?" Jiang Luoluo pointed at the fish and asked in doubt.

Chu Mingcheng nodded, took out a straw, and sucked out all the air in the bag to ensure a vacuum state, then sealed it tightly and put it in the refrigerator.

"Yes, cooked fish, whether it is sashimi or boiled fish soup, has certain advantages in taste compared with raw fish. The only disadvantage is that it is troublesome and wastes some ingredients."

"Hey, this is maturity, I've heard of it." Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized what he was talking about, and a little expectation arose in his heart.

After eating high-grade fish, she prefers all kinds of original flavors.

The taste of high-grade fish is indeed very different from that of ordinary large fish, just like the gap between ordinary steak and top steak.

Especially fish is not easy to gain weight, so it is also the meat that Jiang Luoluo eats the most.

Fish finished the preparatory work, and then the two turned off the kitchen lights and walked to the bedroom.

Jiang Luoluo followed Chu Mingcheng, recalled the mature operation, felt that it was very simple, and he could do it himself in the future, so he continued to ask for more detailed details.

"Is it okay to leave it like this for seven days?"

Chu Mingcheng shook his head, seeing her thirst for knowledge, he explained.

"That's right, the aging time is related to the fish and the degree of aging you want to eat. Generally, five days and seven days are enough."

"But for tuna, some Japanese food stores will mature it for two weeks, while some sea bream can be eaten in only three days."

"Secondly, I have to take this fish out in two days to see how it is ripening. I probably need to replace the aging paper. After all, there is still a lot of water in the fish."

Jiang Luoluo nodded after listening, and understood a little bit, but the specifics still need to read more and learn more, and accumulate some experience, so I asked Chu Mingcheng to call her when he was mature.

In her future life, she will deal with various fishes, and she feels that it is necessary for her to learn the methods of various fishes.

At the very least, you have to show your virtuousness in front of your future mother-in-law.

Otherwise, it will be labeled as lazy or a vase, which is easy to cause conflicts.

For the next two days, the Poseidon remained near the reef.

Chuming City has sent sea lions to look for tuna or marlin in the past two days, but they were not lucky enough to find them for the time being, so they stayed here to catch orchid crabs and catch ox-eye bluefish.

Currently, there are fewer and fewer bulls-eye scorpions, and there is not much space in the refrigerated cabin.

Most of them were taken up by ox-eye bluefish, but there were still only six tuna.

The distance from the upgrade of the Tuna Illustrated Book is even worse by eleven.

If you encounter a school of tuna with this amount, you can get it in minutes, but unfortunately you can't.

Currently it was the sixth day that Chu Mingcheng went out to sea, so he decided to go back first and go to Shanghai to sell tuna.

If he hadn’t caught bluefin tuna, he definitely wouldn’t have gone to Shanghai. A few tuna can be sold in Xia City.

But if you want to sell bluefin tuna at a high price, you have to go there.

This grade of bluefin tuna can be auctioned, and the selling price will be much higher than the pure appraisal price, and the round-trip fuel cost is nothing at all.

Chu Mingcheng first took pictures of the catches he caught this time, and then went to the cab to start the Poseidon.

After setting up the automatic driving, he posted all the pictures to the group, and the main promotion was the bull's-eye bluefish.

This fish restaurant can be purchased completely, and it is not afraid that it will not be sold.

Secondly, friends in the inland areas can also buy some ultra-low-temperature frozen fish. They are not afraid that the fish will deteriorate during transportation, unless the transportation company cannot deliver it for a week.

That is the problem of the transportation company, and it has nothing to do with him.

As soon as these photos were posted, the group that had been silent for a long time immediately became lively.

There are those who greet Chu Mingcheng. Um, serious greetings.

There are also people who grab fish as soon as they come up. The fishing ban season can make this group of gluttons greedy.

Not to mention the shortage of various aquatic products, the price is also expensive, and the quality has dropped a lot.

Imported seafood is good, but after all, there are not many people who are taken advantage of, and the rich are sometimes more careful about their savings.

Now that Chuming City has gone to sea, it is undoubtedly good news for them.

The more than 2,500 catties of ox-eye bluefish caught in three days were sold almost immediately.

Among them, a few bosses of the restaurant took the most part.

This fish is a high-end sashimi in Xiaotian, and there are many tricks that can be cooked by domestic chefs.

The profit generated is far greater than that of ordinary seafood, and since Chuming City passes through Wenzhou City, there is no shipping fee, so these fish are naturally more popular.

The other seafood on the boat is also selling well, and even the spiny armored shrimp is of interest.

With no shipping charges, most people are willing to try these uneaten items.

If there is a shipping fee, some people will consider the cost performance, their own loss after receiving the goods, and so on.

Hold a small book, record all the seafood the customer wants, and list the remaining catches one by one.

There are not many seafood left, so you can give some to relatives and friends.

Close the notebook, look up, there are several thick lines on the fish finder, and they are displayed on the water surface?

Chu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, he was so lucky that he could meet a group of big fish when returning to the voyage?

He immediately got up and took a telescope to observe the position of the fish school.

Then I found a group of tunas following the Poseidon and preying on some small fish that followed the boat, causing a splash of water from time to time.

Unexpectedly, the Poseidon sailed on the fishway by mistake and attracted a school of tuna.

Chu Mingcheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Jiang Luoluo who was practicing dancing.

Currently, the space in the refrigerated cabin is not full, after all, the foam boxes can be stacked.

Secondly, the rice-grade ox-eye bluefish placed outside is also much smaller than tuna.

After they were all frozen into popsicles under the ultra-low temperature, Chu Mingcheng packed them up and piled them up into a hill.

So it’s no problem to continue to put some tuna in the refrigerated compartment, and it’s a big deal to stack it.

A normal person can't hold a fish weighing two to three hundred catties. Could it be that he still can't hold it?

Without waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Luoluo ran over: "What's the matter, let me come right away?"

"There is a school of tuna behind. You stay in the cab and watch the boat. I'll go fishing." Chu Mingcheng handed her the binoculars, pointing to the tuna at the stern.

"So lucky?" Jiang Luoluo picked up the binoculars and observed, with a surprised expression, "Then you go quickly, I will stay in the cab."

"Yeah." Chu Mingcheng didn't waste any time, and immediately went to take out the heavy trolling rod that he bought but was useless all the time.

As for the fishing reel, he hesitated for a moment between the electric reel and the drum reel, and finally chose the drum reel.

It is indeed much easier to fish with an electric reel, but in the case of strong strength, it is easier to operate with a practical drum reel when combined with trolling.

After all, the tuna following him were not small, but not as good as the ones caught before.

There are still a lot of baits in the refrigerated cabin. The mackerel baits are almost useless at present, and there are still more than 700 catties.

The small squids were all used up, and the frozen pomfrets were all gone. Except for being used as fishing bait, all the rest were fed to sea lions.

Therefore, there are orchid crabs in the second living water tank, which weigh more than one hundred catties. Another hundred catties were placed in two fish boxes, and they would not die for the time being with oxygen.

But this would be trolling. Chu Mingcheng didn’t need these baits at all. He took out the iron bait, which is most suitable for the current situation.

Install the heavy-duty trolling rod in the fishing hole, then hang the iron bait and still enter the water.

Open the spool cup, and the fishing line is released quickly, and it took about 30 meters to lock the spool cup again.

Poseidon continued to drive, and the iron bait was pulled by the power, like a small fish flying non-stop on the water surface, and instantly attracted the attention of many predators chasing fishing boats.

The speed of the tuna is much faster than that of the Poseidon. When they are attracted by the iron bait, they immediately explode at an extremely fast speed.

"Zhi Zhi Zhi ~"

The fishing rod suddenly bent down, and the drum was pulled and made an overwhelmed sound.

The fish took the bait, Chu Mingcheng immediately grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and raised the stickling fish, then grabbed the handle with his right hand and spun it quickly.

A tuna is just a moment away before it emerges from the water.

It looked helpless and wanted to struggle, but it was pulled by the power of the Poseidon and couldn't stabilize its body at all.

Of course, this is also due to Chu Mingcheng.

He turned the crank handle to draw in the fishing line, so that the tuna could not turn around to resist this force, otherwise it would not be a problem for it to pull out a fishing line of several hundred meters.

The crank handle is actually very heavy, and it is not easy to turn it.

Chu Mingcheng's arms felt a little sore after several dozen rounds, and he slowed down a little, because the fish was almost at the stern.

The tuna that was pulled over by force did not consume much physical strength at all. At this time, the tail was swinging vigorously, and even jumped from time to time, trying to get rid of the hook in its mouth, but it was not safe.

So when Chu Mingcheng was about to reach the stern of the boat, he let go of the fishing rod with his left hand first, then picked up the hook next to it, and stretched the hook out of the boat to prepare.

After getting ready, the right hand exerted force again and continued to pull the tuna closer.

The size of this tuna is not bad, according to his experience, it is about 100 catties.

This is also the reason why he directly used brute force to pull the fish back, and he was not so worried that the fishing line would not be able to bear it and break.

After turning the handle more than a dozen times, the tuna finally came to the range of the hook.

Chu Mingcheng saw the timing, and hooked the fish brain accurately.

The blood of the tuna burst out immediately, dyeing the white waves red and leaving a long **** foam.

The moment he hooked the tuna, Chu Mingcheng let go of the handle with his right hand.

Then grasped the long handle of the hook with both hands, mustered all the strength and directly lifted the tuna up.

The one-hundred-jin tuna swung its tail in the air, fell over the side of the boat and onto the deck.

Chu Mingcheng put the hook aside, immediately took out the iron bait next to the mouth of the tuna and threw it back into the water, adjusted the distance and waited for the next fish.

Then he began to bleed and gut the yellowfin tuna.

That’s right, the ones chasing the Poseidon are a group of yellowfin tuna, the most common species in China.

Currently, besides the bluefin tuna and blackfin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, Chuming City has no way to meet them for the time being, and the only one that can be encountered in China is green sweet tuna.

But this kind of green and sweet tuna will hardly weigh more than 50 catties. He really doesn't know whether this fish is a fish in the boutique guide or a tuna guide.

If it is included in the tuna illustrated book, then he can't catch it.

Deducting experience points for a little money is obviously not cost-effective, so the specific situation has to be seen after catching it.

Although the price of yellowfin tuna is not high, it is a kind of fish that Chu Mingcheng prefers to encounter.

After all, bigeye tuna and bluefin tuna are too difficult to come across, and the only one that is considered large is yellowfin tuna.

In the eyes of Chu Mingcheng, albacore tuna is not considered large, at most it is medium-sized.

Here, the internal organs were taken out and thrown into the sea. Before the fish blood was drained, the heavy drag pole bent down again.

I caught the fish again, and the efficiency is very high.

Ignoring the need to continue bleeding, Chu Mingcheng immediately got up and grabbed the fishing rod to stab the fish.

The fish school following the boat still has strength, and their stomachs are not full.

They will leave naturally when they are tired or their stomachs are full, so Chu Mingcheng must hurry up.

Time passed slowly, the sun rose higher and higher, and gradually came to the hottest time of the day.

The iron bait was flying across the water, and it had been silent for twenty minutes.

It took a total of more than two hours to fish in the morning, until eleven o'clock.

After running out of fish, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to deal with the seven tuna piled up on the deck and put them all in the refrigerated cabin.

Caught seven hundred-jin yellowfin tuna in more than two hours, which is very efficient.

Unfortunately, the fish took the bait too slowly, slowing down the progress, otherwise Chu Mingcheng could catch more within two hours.

Currently, the experience value of tuna has reached 16 points, and four more can be upgraded.

But tonight they will return to Xiamen City Wharf. Chu Mingcheng doesn't think they will meet again in the afternoon, so they have to wait for the next trip to sea if they want to upgrade.

Went to the kitchen to make lunch. After the two ate, Jiang Luoluo stopped dancing in the afternoon and stayed with him in the cockpit.

Maybe a little bored, she watched a TV series.

As a result, seeing herself lying on the sofa and falling asleep, Chu Mingcheng looked at this scene with a smile, and went to get a blanket to cover her.

The cab is air-conditioned, so it can’t be frozen.

As the sky gradually darkened, the sleeping Jiang Luoluo turned over and let out a soft moan.

Then stretched his arms and sat up in a daze.

Looking at Chu Mingcheng who was sitting on the chair, she looked out the window again.

The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened: "Ah Cheng, what time is it?"

"It's already past six o'clock, and it will take a while to arrive at the pier. I have already sent Xiao Hei to Crescent Island."

"Oh, Xiao Hei, have they all been sent back? Have I slept for so long?"

"Well, you may be tired after so many days at sea."

Jiang Luoluo looked at Chu Mingcheng, who was in high spirits, and was suddenly speechless: "The same goes for so many days at sea, and you still have to fish and do tiring work every day, but you are so energetic. This will make me appear particularly delicate."

"Uh" Chu Mingcheng was stunned when he heard the words, and then realized that this seemed inappropriate, so he pretended to be very tired and slapped his waist, "Actually, I am also very tired."

Jiang Luoluo looked at the place where he was hammering, and said quietly: "It seems that I still have to blame, look, your waist is tired"

"Cough cough cough" Chu Mingcheng immediately choked on his throat with a mouthful of saliva.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Seeing him like this, Jiang Luoluo shook his head funny and stood up. After passing by, he laid his whole body on his back, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Well~ we're almost home anyway, why don't we eat some snacks first, and then call Ah Wei and the others to have a late-night snack together? We can't sell fish tonight." Chu Mingcheng said after thinking about it.

Tonight they can only continue to live on the boat. One is that there is no one at home and they have to clean up, and the second is that the refrigerated cabin has to be kept open.

Although they can work independently, but with so many fish, it is better for people to be on board.

"Alright! Then I'll go to the kitchen and get some food." Jiang Luoluo had no objection, so she let go and went to the kitchen to get some snacks and drinks to eat together.

Chu Mingcheng also informed Zhang Wei and the others, telling them to come to the pier with their stomachs full and have dinner together later.

When they heard that he was back, they were also very happy, saying that they would come to the pier immediately.

Of course, not only them, but also Wei Jiaguo were notified.

At 7:30 in the evening, the Poseidon disengaged from the cruising state and turned into a manual state. The speed also dropped by half, and it slowly approached the pier.

The first thing to do when returning to the pier, Chu Mingcheng went to fill up the gas first, which cost 23,000 yuan.

I often look for tuna on this trip to sea, and I spend a lot of money on fuel.

But the price is worth it. Selling a few yellow fins can make you back the capital.

This is not the time when the fishing boat returns to the port, and there is no one at the pier.

But Wei Jiaguo and Zhang Wei were already waiting. After the Poseidon docked, they immediately moved over.

Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo walked out of the cabin and greeted them respectively.

But Wei Jiaguo came to fetch the moray eel today, so he entertained him first.

"Grandpa, this is the one. Look, the vitality is still very good."

Wei Jiaguo glanced at Moray, and then began to size up the Sea God.

After strolling around, he nodded: "The boat is not bad. What kind of fish did you catch this time? Let me see it."

"I caught some tuna, followed by bull's-eye bluefish. Of course, these spiny armored shrimps and spider crabs are also rare. If you are interested, you can also get some."

Wei Jiaguo looked at the spider crab and thorn armored shrimp, showed interest, and asked for some.

Of course, he looked at all the living water tanks, and only these two caught his eye.

Then he went to the refrigerated cabin to look at the harvest in Chuming City.

A dozen tuna and a bunch of black fish inside silenced him.

Especially the huge and eye-catching bluefin tuna, which made him want to buy it.

But thinking about the cost of this fish at least hundreds of thousands, even he would be reluctant to pay such a high price.

It seems unnecessary to spend hundreds of thousands to brag in front of old friends.

So he finally asked for the largest ox-eye bluefish, which was 1.6 meters long and weighed 103 catties.
