The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded
Chapter 330 Seafood Merchants' Profits
Back on the Poseidon, he threw the dead anglerfish on the ground, and it immediately collapsed like a pool of rotten meat.
But the bulging belly can show that there is a lot of goods inside.
If you want to eat the most delicious cod liver, can you take the fish to freeze, or you have to deal with this anglerfish first.
Chu Mingcheng didn't care about taking a bath, so he went to fetch the fish killing knife, foam box and plates.
The first step is to peel the skin. With a light cut with a knife, the skin of the anglerfish is broken.
Then Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fish skin with both hands and pulled it out forcefully, the fish skin was immediately peeled off, revealing the pink and tender fish meat inside.
Peeling anglerfish and peeling skinned fish are completely different feelings, but both are quite stress-relieving.
Some people are born too kind and timid, and eating meat is meat, and they will be more or less resistant to killing.
But in fact, many people have a hidden desire for destruction in their hearts. The nine-year compulsory education can suppress or eliminate this desire for destruction very well, and let people know what to do or not to do.
In fact, Chu Mingcheng also has this desire to destroy. For example, when he was a child, he took a branch he picked up and interrupted a piece of weeds to show off his newly learned martial arts from TV.
Another example is catching a frog, and when you get tired of playing with it, you will plan or disassemble it, or even roast it alive.
It's just that when I grow up and become mature and understand the truth, I won't do these boring things anymore, and I won't hurt small animals indiscriminately.
But every time he hunted fish, especially large fish, Chu Mingcheng would still be very excited.
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with perversion. He just simply enjoys this kind of stimulation and satisfaction, and the so-called destructive desire is not great.
With such a large anglerfish, it would take a lot of effort to completely peel off its skin.
It took him a few minutes to peel off the skin of the fish, leaving only a pink anglerfish with a big belly.
Then he turned the fish over.
Then the belly of the fish kept shaking, as if it was full of water.
The meat on the belly of the fish is almost transparent, indicating that the belly meat is very thin.
There is also a small geoduck at the junction of the tail and belly below, which looks quite interesting.
Chu Mingcheng picked up the scissors and cut off the geoduck with one click, but Little Heiye appeared by his side at some point.
Seeing the geoduck that fell on the ground, it picked it up with one bite.
"Fuck~"
Because the sky was already dark, Chu Mingcheng didn't turn on the lights, so he really didn't notice it coming.
It wasn't until he spotted a dark mass moving from the corner of his eye that he realized it.
When he found that Xiao Heiye had picked up the geoduck, Chu Mingcheng suddenly turned pale with shock: "You really put everything in your mouth, so spit it out quickly."
He hastily grabbed Xiao Heiye's cheek, snatched the anglerfish's geoduck from its mouth, and then threw it away.
The geoduck flew through the air in a parabola, crossed the ship's side and fell to the surface of the sea with a thud.
However, the floating geoduck immediately caught the attention of a fish hiding under the boat.
It swam out, touched the geoduck with its mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
It seemed that something was wrong, so it spit it out again and took a closer look.
It was a big lump of meat, food was in short supply and couldn't be wasted, it quickly swallowed it again, and swallowed it directly into its stomach.
And Chu Mingcheng on the boat, after teaching Xiao Heiye a lesson, locked him in the cabin together with Xiaowujin, so that they would not come out to make trouble when they were going to kill the fish.
Next, he picked up the scissors and easily picked up the belly of the anglerfish.
A large amount of viscera of unknown origin flowed out immediately, filling the belly of the anglerfish, followed by a tender white fish liver that was bigger than an ordinary plate.
The appearance of this cod liver is no worse than that of foie gras, no wonder it has the title of foie gras in the sea.
Chu Mingcheng carefully cut the foie gras and put it on the plate.
Then cut off the bitter gall and threw it into the water together with the large lump of unknown internal organs, which immediately attracted a group of small fish to come and peck at it.
Finally, there is the stomach bag the size of a football.
It's bulging inside, and I don't know what good things are there.
Chu Mingcheng cut off the stomach bag and took it aside separately, so as not to contaminate the fish with dirty things in it later.
Then, holding his breath, he opened his stomach bag.
Immediately, a silvery white pomfret was exposed, and there was a pungent fishy smell.
The pomfret was so whole that it looked like it had just been swallowed, so he picked it up and threw it aside.
This pomfret was completely edible, but Chu Mingcheng was not interested in eating the contents of the fish's stomach, he threw it aside because it could be used as bait.
Then he found some half-digested small fish and shrimps in it, and a swimming crab.
But these were all wrecks, Chu Mingcheng directly took the water hose and washed them all into the sea, and washed the fish maws clean.
Since anglerfish maw is edible too, and it gets very thick when boiled, he throws it on the plate too.
Finally, Chu Mingcheng started to process the fish body.
The anglerfish is full of cartilage, so useless things such as its big mouth and gills were cut off with a pair of scissors and thrown away.
Then he took the fish killing knife to chop the fish into pieces and threw them into the foam box to use as bait.
It's just that when processing the meat on the fish tail, Chu Mingcheng found that the pattern of the fish meat is quite beautiful, and the big petals are white and tender like jelly.
Originally, he didn't plan to eat fish, so he finally cut off a large piece and threw it on a plate, planning to try it tomorrow.
After processing a fish, Chu Mingcheng first moved the foam box into the refrigerated compartment and placed it above the innermost bait.
Then I came out and took the plate to the kitchen, sorted the cod liver, fish meat and fish maw, wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and I will eat it tomorrow.
After finishing his work, Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to continue working at night. After going back to take a shower, he played games, chatted with Jiang Luoluo, and passed the night simply.
Early the next morning, he immediately went to collect the crab cages and shrimp cages and longlines that had been put down yesterday.
The shrimp pot caught nothing, but the crab pot accidentally caught a batch of swimming crabs.
But the quantity was average, after picking the fat ones, they were only over two hundred catties, and were thrown into the fish box by Chu Mingcheng.
The longline harvest is okay, and there are a total of 500 catties of deep-sea fish that can be sold for money.
There were too many things on the boat, so Chu Mingcheng seized the time and spent the whole morning diving and hunting five bluefin tuna weighing more than 200 catties, and then returned to the voyage.
At noon, he naturally enjoyed the anglerfish liver, which is known as the foie gras in the sea.
Braised fish maw and fish meat, and fried fish liver.
There are a lot of parasites on the anglerfish, so you can't eat it until it's fully cooked.
Although this fish is cheap, the taste of the fish meat and fish maw braised in yellow is still good.
Although its fish liver is not as exaggerated as the marketing account on the Internet, it tastes very good.
Not as fatty as foie gras, not as greasy.
But it is extremely soft and tender, melts in the mouth, and has a sweet and umami taste.
Chu Mingcheng, who felt that the fish liver was really good, purposely passed the location where the anglerfish were caught last night when returning to the voyage, then changed into a diving suit and went into the water to catch three anglerfish of 70 to 80 centimeters.
Take out all the fish livers, wrap them in plastic wrap and kitchen paper, and give them to Jiang Luoluo and Zhang Wei to taste when they go back.
As for the fish, in fact, the taste can only be said to be okay, and it must not be attractive to them, so they were all chopped into pieces and put in the refrigerator as bait.
By the time Chu Mingcheng returned to the pier, it was already twelve o'clock at night.
Zhang Wei, who had been notified by him during the day, would be in high spirits, because he ate at three o'clock in the afternoon, then went to bed, and didn't wake up until eleven o'clock.
"How many catches did you get?"
Zhang Wei brought supper over, and after eating, he looked at the catch this time.
He had only been out at sea for three days, and he was very curious about how many catches Chu Mingcheng had caught, and he came back so soon.
"See for yourself!"
"Looking at you like this, it seems that there are many good things!"
When Zhang Wei boarded the boat with supper, he purposely refrained from checking the live water tank.
This will come out of the cabin, and immediately went to observe the situation of the living water tank.
Two of the living water tanks are filled with tiger prawns and rich prawns, and the remaining one is full of reef fish and grouper.
And in the next few fish boxes, there are all crawling swimming crabs.
"Okay, so much harvest in just three days."
Not to mention anything else, the harvest here alone made him very satisfied
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the live water tank of the spotted prawns: "Ah Cheng, do you have a place that specializes in catching lobsters and rich prawns? Since the beginning of this year, I found that you always have these two kinds of seafood every time you go to sea."
"Indeed, I'll tell you the coordinates!"
Facing Chu Mingcheng's generosity, Zhang Wei waved his hands again and again: "No need, anyway, I don't go out to sea very much now, it doesn't matter! Also, Chen Yang didn't concentrate on fishing now, but set up that dive shop instead, so you give us We may not go to the coordinates."
Seeing that he really didn't want it, Chu Mingcheng didn't force it.
Afterwards, the two came to the refrigerated cabin, and Zhang Wei went to open the door of the refrigerated cabin.
A gust of cold air caressed his face, and when he saw the situation inside, his eyes widened in vain, dumbfounded.
After a while, he turned his head with difficulty: "Damn, have you robbed a fishing boat?"
"No, I was lucky enough to encounter a group of bigeye tuna blasting the water, and then I easily got 26 of them with a javelin. If it wasn't for the refrigerated compartment, there would probably be more."
"Javelin? Is that the one you custom-made? How efficient is this fish hunting? It's amazing!"
"It's okay, it's really useful. There are more than 20 boxes of fish in it that are all longlined. You hurry up and ask someone to come over and count them together. It's so late, so don't waste time."
Hearing this, Zhang Wei shifted his target to a large row of stacked foam boxes inside, and couldn't be more satisfied with his harvest this time.
With so many catches, it was enough to last until Chuming City returned from the high seas.
So he hurriedly called someone over to count the catch together. There are many types of coral fish and deep-sea fish. Although the price is high, it is very troublesome to count.
Chu Mingcheng also came over to help. The various fish were sorted, then weighed to calculate the price, and recorded in the notebook.
The final frozen coral fish and deep-sea fish totaled 3,767 catties, with a total price of more than 586,000.
There are 663 catties of spotted prawns and rich prawns in total. There are live ones and frozen ones, but the frozen ones are relatively small, and the total price is more than 260,000 points.
The unit price of prawns and rich prawns is high, and the frozen ones are only tens of yuan cheaper, so they can be sold so much despite their low weight.
Two hundred and twenty-three catties of swimming crabs were thrown away. The crabs are dead and cannot be eaten, and the rest are all alive. The total price is 9,000.
There were also some who estimated that they would not live for a day, and Zhang Wei put them in separate bags, which could be given away or eaten by themselves.
The last is to calculate the tuna, each tuna is roughly calculated according to the quality of the fish.
Because he will often do tuna trading in the future, Zhang Wei also specially studied the identification of this aspect.
Twenty-six bigeye tuna, the total price is more than 513,000, and the average price is about 87.
Zhang Wei sold it himself, and estimated the unit price should be more than 100 points.
The five bluefin tunas are all only over 200 catties, and none are particularly outstanding, so the total price is only over 638,000.
This trip, the total value of all the catches was 1.95 million. As for the big change of about 3,000 yuan, Zhang Wei wiped it away with a smile.
Chu Mingcheng kicked him in the butt, and said angrily, "Why don't you just give him two million, rounding it up?"
"That won't work. I'm in a small business. How can a boss like you make as much money?" Zhang Wei said with a chuckle, with no embarrassment in his thick skin.
"Last time you sold me more than two million catches. I sold them all and only made more than three hundred thousand. I paid my wages and rented a refrigerated warehouse. There is not much left. You are the big boss. How many thousands of dollars do you care about with me?"
Chu Mingcheng was taken aback when he heard the words: "You earn so little?"
Zhang Wei didn't waste his time during this time, he already had a very clear understanding of the seafood business's profitable business.
"It depends on the season! The Mid-Autumn Festival and October 1st have already passed, and under normal circumstances, it's pretty good to earn 15% to 20%!"
"If it is a particularly important festival such as Mid-Autumn Festival or October 1st, the purchase price of seafood on your side will increase by a part, but on my side it will increase even more, and the profit should reach about 40%."
"As for the end of the year, it will definitely be the best. Although the profit cannot be doubled, the profit can reach about 70%."
"Of course, how much you earn is also related to the type of seafood. The profit of tuna, grouper, etc. is much higher than that of ordinary hairtail, small yellow croaker, squid, etc."
"I see!" Chu Mingcheng nodded knowingly, but he was not moved by the profit.
If you want to become stronger and bigger, it is normal for profits to be shared.
He didn't bother to calculate, otherwise he would be able to figure out the profit by roughly calculating the purchase price given to Zhang Wei and the market price he sold before.
There were too many catches on the boat, and the driver hired by Zhang Wei took them back and forth three times before finishing the delivery.
At this time, Chu Mingcheng also took out the liver of the anglerfish and handed it to him: "This is the liver of the anglerfish. I have tasted it and it tastes good. Here are three pieces, you and Chen Yang each have one piece, and the rest Give that piece to Luo Luo for me."
"By the way, this cod liver is more suitable for frying. I haven't tried other ways to eat it, but sashimi is not recommended, because there may be parasites."
Zhang Wei took the fish liver and said strangely: "You are back, why don't you send it yourself?"
Chu Mingcheng shook his head: "No, I'll leave right away. I don't know how long it will take to go to the high seas, and I want to come back as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Zhang Wei didn't say much anymore: "Well, I will deliver the things. As for the money, I will give it to you after I sell the catch. I don't have that much money with me."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Chu Mingcheng waved his hand and didn't care.
The last catch of over two million was also transferred by Zhang Wei after selling the fish. He didn't expect to owe the money first, so he wouldn't delay the money for too long.
This is also the reason why Chu Mingcheng was able to buy Zhao Jiahang's fishing boat in one go. If he didn't transfer the two million yuan in time, he really wouldn't be able to buy the boat.
It was already five o'clock in the morning after Zhang Wei left, and this time was just right for selling fish.
Chu Mingcheng went to the kitchen to make breakfast, fed the two dogs after eating, and then came out to clean the boat.
After the cleaning was over, it was half past six, so he refueled the boat, turned on the cruise mode and set off directly to the high seas.
In the east of Taiwan, there are two straits leading to the western Pacific Ocean, the Yonaguni Strait and the Bashi Strait.
In fact, the two straits of Chuming City pass through, and I have a general understanding of what's going on.
On the surface, the Yonaguni Strait in the northern part of Baodao is controlled by Xiaori, but in fact it is controlled by the ugly country.
Therefore, everyone who understands understands that it will be very troublesome to walk through this strait if it is blocked.
Some ocean-going ships in the East China Sea may not be willing to go through this strait, but sometimes they will go through the strait next to Xiaotian and then enter the Western Pacific.
So Chuming City would rather take a detour, take the Bashi Channel from the south of Treasure Island, and then enter the Western Pacific Ocean.
The ocean-going fishing vessels in the South China Sea basically enter the Western Pacific through this strait.
Departing from Xiamen City, we first find the killer whale group from the northeast of Baodao, and then enter the western Pacific Ocean from Bashi Strait. The route is more than 600 nautical miles.
The Poseidon's cruise mode speed was eighteen knots, so it would take him a day and a half to reach his destination.
In addition, the Poseidon's battery life is only 700 nautical miles, and normally there is no way to come back.
The main reason why Chuming City has the confidence to go to the high seas is that on the southeast side of Baodao, there are domestic offshore tankers near the Bashi Channel, which can directly fill up at sea.
He made a big circle around Treasure Island before, and it was here that he refueled once.
And beyond the Bashi Channel, there are also offshore tankers from other countries.
It's just that the currency unit of the transaction will become green coins. It is enough for Chu Mingcheng to fill up the gas in the country, and there is no need to specially refill the expensive gas on the high seas.
But just in case, he still brought his international bank card.
From this moment, it can also be seen that if Chu Mingcheng wants to roam the high seas, the performance of the Sea God will not be able to keep up.
Theoretically, this ship can go to the high seas, but it is also close to the domestic waters, and it will not work if it goes farther away.
At this moment, he thought of the recreational fishing boat that Hu Xiangdong had mentioned, and that boat was very suitable for him who was already preparing to venture into the high seas.
However, he couldn't afford more than 20 million yuan for the time being, and he was too embarrassed to accept gifts from others.
After the Poseidon was sold to Zhang Wei twice, Chu Mingcheng had a rough understanding of the extreme harvest, and the average was almost two million.
Unless you encounter the best bluefin tuna, it is difficult to have a burst.
Then if he wants to buy a luxurious recreational fishing boat, he needs to go to sea ten times.
Most of the resources that can be found in the offshore have been exhausted by him, and if he continues, even if there are bonus resources from cheats, the resources will be exhausted.
So he needs to go further afield, which basically takes a week for a trip.
Even if he went to sea three times a month, it would take more than three months, which is why he put the matter of buying a house on after the engagement.
At that time, he would probably have more than 20 million working capital, and with Jiang Luoluo's money, he would definitely be able to buy a very good house.
"Let's just let it go first, and change to a better ship when we have money next year!" Chu Mingcheng thought about it for a while, he had only got this Poseidon for a few months, and there was really no need to change it, so he canceled the purchase for the time being The mind of a luxury recreational fishing boat.
Going to the high seas is nothing more than a troublesome point. You need to find the location of the oil tanker at sea. There are coordinates on the navigation for this point, so it is not difficult to find.
The Poseidon sailed slowly on the sea, riding the wind and waves.
Chu Mingcheng was not idle in the driver's cab. Whenever he found a fish gathering place on the fish finder, he would dive down to check the environment.
If it is a reef area or a coral reef, then he will write down the coordinates.
If he finds a small island, he will open the map of the mouse spot and the east star spot. If there are many of these two kinds of fish, it means that the ecology is very good, and he will also write down the coordinates.
He set off in the morning, and in the evening he managed to find the killer whale group in the old place and let them follow.
Then at around twelve o'clock at night, Chu Mingcheng came to the sea tanker.
This position was safe enough, he turned off the lights and went to sleep directly here.
The killer whales were smart enough not to get too close, but floated and rested on the sea surface where they could see the Poseidon nearby.
After a deep sleep, Chu Mingcheng, who hadn't slept for more than thirty hours, finally recovered all his energy.
After breakfast, he drove the boat to hunt a group of tuna in the nearby waters to feed the killer whales, and then he came to the tanker to refuel.
After a long circle, there was not much diesel left in the fuel tank, and tens of thousands were gone this time.
For a trip to the high seas, the fuel cost alone is close to 150,000, which is quite expensive.
After filling up the gas, Chu Mingcheng honked the horn to inform the group of killer whales, and then entered the bus channel.
Here he will encounter other ships from time to time, but they are mainly cargo ships and small seafood transport ships.
The fishing boats going to the high seas in the south all need these small transport boats to deliver the catch.
When the Poseidon crossed the Bashi Channel and came to the Western Pacific Ocean, it was already noon.
Chu Mingcheng arranged a simple lunch for himself, and first began to observe the map of bluefin tuna.
The area bound by the plug-in includes the Huaxia sea area and the adjacent high seas, so it also includes a part of the western Pacific Ocean.
I didn't come to the Western Pacific before, and the situation here was gray on the map, but now it's finally shown.
Then he discovered that the number of bluefin tuna had increased in vain, far exceeding domestic waters.
Recalling the situation of the Pacific bluefin tuna, he was not surprised that there were so many.
Pacific bluefin tuna is in the same vulnerable category as bigeye tuna.
They are in the East China Sea. Spawns in the Pacific Ocean near Shikoku Island and the Sea of Small Days.
Many juveniles migrate all the way to California, grow up for a few years, come back, and stay in the Western Pacific.
It was also displayed on the route map, a horizontal line of migration was forced to be interrupted due to the scope of the map, it was outside the bounding area of the plug-in, so there was no way to display it.
Such a large number of bluefin tuna is naturally a good thing for Chu Mingcheng.
He needs to observe the high seas for a few days, find out the rules of the bluefin tuna swimming route, and determine several places where the tuna is concentrated.
When the time comes to tell Zhao Jun about these locations, most of the mission of coming to the high seas will be completed.
So he took out a notebook and roughly drew the locations of bluefin tuna marks on the map.
When you wait until tomorrow, you can compare it with today, and then continue to draw tomorrow's position.
