Golden Fishery

On the quiet seabed, a large three-masted ship was lying on its side lonely.

The boat was old and covered with seaweed, making it look like a colorful monster.

Qin Shiou stroked the seaweed away, but the Poseidon's consciousness couldn't control the intensity. The wooden boat was hit by the current, and the side of the ship collapsed immediately, and many places around it became precarious.

Only then did Qin Shiou discover that the ship was made of whole wood, probably the kind of man-powered ship that was more popular in the 16th and 17th centuries, and there was not even a steam furnace in the hull.

He looked around but didn't find the name of the wooden boat. The Sea God consciousness entered the boat, opened the hatch, and a dozen corpses appeared inside.

Except for some places with geothermal heat and close to submarine volcanoes, the water temperature in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is low all year round, especially on the seabed.

In the low water temperature environment, these corpses did not decompose, because the cabin was airtight, no fish and shrimps entered to prey, so the corpses were preserved fairly intact. However, a chemical reaction occurred, and the corpse was soaked in water and swelled, and then dehydrated again, becoming a rare underwater mummy.

In the innermost part of the cabin, two women are holding their own children in their arms. These corpses are staggering, because they have become mummies, and their expressions are grim. You can vaguely feel the fear and despair when they were in a shipwreck, and you can also feel the impending death. agony before death.

This is a transport ship, but under the attack of sea water and years, the cargo has been reduced to fly ash. The victims in the cabin had some jewelry on them, but Qin Shiou didn't take them away.

he thinks. In this case, it is better not to disturb the soul of the dead.

After watching the painful death of the victims, Qin Shiou was a little depressed, and he didn't feel better until the shrimp pots were harvested at noon.

The bong and the bull brought up the shrimp pot. In the first cage, a pair of large lobsters weighing more than four pounds appeared, waving their claws and still dealing with half a squid caught on the cage.

"Look at these greedy guys!" The bull laughed, "Why do I feel that they are so cute?"

"Maybe you see them as Land Rover." Smoker said with a smile, he was in a better mood than a bull, biting his pipe and blowing out a big smoke ring.

The mood of the other fishermen will only be better and not worse. Some people are responsible for pushing the carts to transport them to the ice cabin, while the rest are busy catching the lobsters and tying their claws with rubber bands. Clear division of labor and high efficiency.

A fat eel got into one of the cages.

The bull chopped it into several pieces with a knife, Qin Shiou whistled, and Nimitz flew down and ate it himself.

Collect all the lobsters on the string in this cage, no more, no less. There are fifty big lobsters in total, estimated to weigh more than sixty kilograms, or one hundred and thirty pounds, and they are all relatively large.

The rest of the cages were dragged up, and this time there was another big harvest. More than 2,000 pounds of large lobsters were thrown into the ice cabin, so there were more than 100 small lobsters left in the end.

The largest of these crayfish is only the length of a palm. It is unlucky to be caught by the big lobster or dragged up in the cage.

According to the law, lobsters of this size cannot be sold. Under normal circumstances, fishermen will throw them into the sea to let them continue to grow or bring them back to neighbors to eat.

If it is not for bacterial reasons. Qin Shiou threw them down, and now it seemed that they had little chance of surviving, so he simply used them to make soup.

well known. The growth process of lobster is always accompanied by shell moulting. Every time the lobster moults, the chitin shell of the lobster will become stronger and the shrimp meat will become stronger.

Lobsters molt 10 times during their first year of life, and about once a year thereafter until they reach maturity.

The whole body of lobsters is valuable, including their shells. But it is limited to the pre-mature shrimp shells, which can be used to make soup. Cook into stocks and gourmet soups.

In this way, the small lobsters are minced without shelling and thrown into the pressure cooker to stew vigorously. After the heat is simmered, thick lobster oil can be boiled. Use this thick lobster oil to mix with cold dishes. It is an absolute top food!

Qin Shiou didn't do it before, so Chalmer did it himself. He is a chef among the fishermen, and his cooking skills are still very good, especially because he has been in the sea since he was a child, and he is especially proficient in seafood.

Put the chopped lobster together with carrots, onions, ginger, and seaweed in a pressure cooker and heat it up. Chalmer said with a smile: "We can taste the delicious shrimp oil mixed with vegetables in the evening."

Qin Shiou originally thought there would be more than a hundred small lobsters, so he planned to make spicy crayfish, but Chalmer used them together, and explained to him: "The more crayfish, the thicker the soup, the better the taste .”

Qin Shiou couldn't complain, okay, okay, let's taste better.

In the afternoon, Xueqiu and ice skates criss-crossed the sea, following Qin Shiou's instructions to find haddock.

With the sea hounds, the fishing efficiency is high. The snowball and ice blade hit from two directions, and quickly found a group of fat haddock.

Commanded by Qin Shiou, the Harvest followed, the fishing net was thrown down, and finally thousands of kilograms of cod were dragged up.

In this way, fishing cod and shrimp pots were carried out at intervals, and the Harvest maintained the highest work efficiency. Qin Shiou had nothing to do here. Anyway, when work was over in the evening, the fishermen were almost exhausted.

Qin Shiou felt that this was not enough, so he slowed down the fishing pace, but the fishermen obviously loved the feeling of making money, so they reluctantly supported it, shouting repeatedly that they were not tired, and asked to continue fishing with their nets.

From these fishermen, Qin Shiou understood how the huge Newfoundland fishing ground turned into an ocean desert, and the greed of human beings is really terrible.

Of course, he can stand and talk now without back pain, because he has a wealth of wealth, and there is a cornucopia of fisheries waiting for him to dig, so he can feel so emotional.

If it was the poor b in the past, if Qin Shiou could earn tens of thousands of yuan by catching a net of fish, he would definitely work around the clock, fishing day and night without rest.

Originally, it was expected that this trip would take three and a half days, but with the help of snowballs and ice skates, the efficiency of fishing and shrimping increased dramatically. In two and a half days, more than 5,000 pounds of lobsters and five or six tons of sea fish were caught—— All haddock!

In this way, seeing that the fishermen were too tired to eat, Qin Shiou waved his hand and returned!

Bull and the others were dissatisfied, and shouted: "Our ice cabin is still more than half empty, let's stay for another two days."

Qin Shiou rolled his eyes and said: "First of all, you are very tired, and your body is the most important thing; second, we have gained enough and can return; last and most important, we have to prepare to participate in the memorial activity for the victims of the Kraken storm gone."

The harvest was so good that even Shaq was tempted, and said: "We are very close to the Basque Port. It only takes six or seven hours to get there. Why are you returning so early?"

Qin Shiou pointed at their clothes and said, "Look at your clothes, I said guys, you're not planning to go to the memorial service just dressed like this, are you?"

The fishermen wore rubber one-piece swimmers, their hair and skin were stained with a lot of fish blood and fish scales, and they looked very embarrassed.

Standing together, they couldn't help laughing when they looked at me and at you. (to be continued)
