Chapter 147: Hairtail

After all, fishing boats often float at sea for long periods of time, and many recreational activities are unavailable. Fishing has become a pastime for many crew members.

Soon Ye Yuan saw that the fish Wang Husheng had dropped was a hairtail about 2 meters long.

Hairtail is a very common marine fish.

Its body is band-shaped, with flat sides. The dorsal and ventral edges of the front part are almost parallel, and the body length is generally 100cm.

The head is narrow and long, and the tip of the snout is long. The eyes are large, the distance between the eyes is flat, and the center is slightly convex.

The mouth is large and straight, with the posterior edge of the cleft reaching below the eyes.

The lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw and protrudes. The teeth are powerful, with flat and pointed sides. There are 2 pairs of large barb-shaped canine teeth at the front of each jaw. The upper jaw has 10 to 13 lateral teeth; the lower jaw has 12 to 14 lateral teeth.

The hairtail fish has small free spines on its abdomen. When swimming, it does not use its fins to paddle, but moves upward by swinging its body.

It preys on shrimps, squid and other small fish and is a migratory fish.

Hairtail fish have a very mixed diet and are very greedy, sometimes cannibalizing their own species.

They have the habit of moving vertically day and night. During the day, they live in groups in the ocean and in the lower water layer, and at night they are active at the bottom of the sea. Hairtail fish have a lifespan of about 8 years.

Although the price of hairtail is not very high, this guy has a large yield because it is a social fish. As long as you find one hairtail, there is a high probability that there will be a school of hairtail nearby.

The crew members in the distance also saw Wang Husheng catch a hairtail about 2 meters long. Without Ye Yuan's instructions, everyone had already cast the net, and it didn't take long for a pack of hairtail to be hauled up.

Because there were so many fish caught, Wang Husheng and Ye Yuan also gave up fishing and joined the sorting process.

There is actually no technical content in sorting fish, as long as you can do it and easily distinguish various types of sea fish.

Many people say that crew wages are very high. Indeed, as China's economy develops faster and faster, the salary of an ordinary crew member is now 7,000-10,000 yuan.

Ye Yuan's salary for the crew is also 10,000 yuan, which is not higher than the market price.

But don't forget that Ye Yuan gives bonuses to the crew members. This is the reason why these people can work hard.

Since the fish caught this time were mainly hairtails, it was not difficult to sort them out. We just divided the hairtails into several grades according to their length: those below 1 meter, 1-1.5 meters, and finally those above 1.5 meters.

Although the sorting work is simple, people have to bend down to pick it up. Over time, many crew members will suffer from back problems, which is one of the reasons why many people do not want to be crew members.

The fish catch on the deck was quickly sorted, and the sorted hairtail was sent to the freezing chamber for quick freezing by the crew.

The trawl net is thrown back into the sea again. You must know that if you encounter a large school of fish in the sea, you have to keep fishing.

The crew only had one hour to rest while casting the net.

Once the fishing nets are towed back to the ship, the busy sorting work begins again.

Ye Yuan's fishing boat is pretty good. It only casts the net 3-4 times when encountering large schools of fish.

But some fishing boats, if they encounter a large school of fish, will not leave until they have fished them all. This requires the crew to sort them without rest, so the crew is still very hardworking.

Ye Yuan worked with the crew until the evening before stopping the salvage. A total of more than 10 tons of hairtail were harvested, which was already a good harvest.

According to the price of 20 yuan per kilogram, Ye Yuan's harvest this time reached 200,000 Huaxia coins. Don't think it is very small, that's because Ye Yuan has a cheating device when he goes to sea.

If put on an ordinary fishing boat, the catch of 200,000 yuan in fish this day is already very good.

Everyone has been busy for several hours and is already hungry. Gong Hongzhuang has already prepared dinner.

Ye Yuan is still satisfied with Gong Hongzhuang, the chef. He can use some of the only ingredients on the ship to make delicious meals for the crew, which also alleviates the embarrassment of replenishment.

Many of the supplies on the ship are vegetables that have been stored for a long time and are not easy to spoil, such as potatoes and Chinese cabbage.

Because everyone was very tired today, Gong Hongzhuang specially made braised pork and stir-fried tea tree mushrooms, two dishes that he didn't usually make. The staple food was steamed buns.

Because everyone was too hungry and had a day's work, no one chatted during the meal, and everyone ate the food in front of them quickly.

At this time Gong Hongzhuang walked to sit opposite Ye Yuan

"Boss, how was the food?"

"Yes, your craftsmanship is still very good."

While Ye Yuan was eating the steamed bun in his hand, he also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.

Hearing what Ye Yuan said, Gong Hongzhuang felt relieved. After all, whether he could continue to work in the future depended on the young boss in front of him.

"Um...boss...I found...no matter where we purchase our vegetables, they are not as good as those brought from our island. How about spending more time with the island's vegetables in the future?"

Gong Hongzhuang was embarrassed to state his request. After all, the fishing boat is so big. If the storage capacity of vegetables is increased, it will affect the space of the fishing boat. This kind of thing is not something that he, a chef, can decide.

Gong Hongzhuang and the others may not know that Ding Er is responsible for supplying vegetables and grain every time. Even now that the supply rights are handed over to Yu Hongbo, this has not changed.

This is because the vegetables and grains that Ding Er supplies to the fishing boats are all produced in Ye Yuan's space.

Ye Yuan specially set aside a warehouse on the island to store these ingredients. He would replenish the warehouse every time he went back. The explanation to the outside world was that these ingredients were purchased by Ding Er on a daily basis.

So many crew members want to know where Chou Er purchased these delicious and beautiful ingredients.

Especially as a chef, Gong Hongzhuang, which chef doesn't want the meals he makes to be recognized by everyone.

But this requires not only excellent craftsmanship, but also the ingredients.

Ever since Gong Hongzhuang discovered that the ingredients purchased on the island were very good, he asked more than once where Ding Er purchased them.

But every time Ding Er gave the same answer, which was "confidential"

This made Gong Hongzhuang very depressed.

No, today he plans to test Ye Yuan to see if, as the boss, he can know the origin of the ingredients.

Ye Yuan smiled, "Then you go back to find Ding Er. In principle, I have no objection. You and Lao Yu will discuss how many you will bring."

Gong Hongzhuang smiled awkwardly. He knew that Ye Yuan did not intend to tell him about the purchase.

"Boss, you're busy, I'll go discuss it with Lao Yu."

After saying that, he stood up and left to find Yu Hongbo.

Ye Yuan looked at Gong Hongzhuang's leaving figure in a funny manner. Of course he knew what Gong Hongzhuang meant by these words, but he would not tell them about the ingredients in his own space.

Ye Yuan's vegetables are not only delicious, they also have many benefits for the human body.

These will take a long time to manifest. The crew members' bodies have already undergone slight changes, but they haven't noticed it yet.

Due to a tiring day, many crew members returned to the rest cabin early to prepare for a rest.
