Chapter 63 Red Salmon
"What? Give us a bonus of two thousand yuan when we get back?" Chen Bin, who was already paralyzed from exhaustion, stood up from the deck as soon as he heard this.
Wang Lei and Luo Hai were even more excited and speechless.
Although there was no expression on Yang Hua's face, he was very happy inside.
As for Qin Bin, his previous income from sailing was already very high, so he behaved calmly.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, from now on we will all be eating on the same boat. I won't give you any pie. As long as I make money, you will definitely get the bonus."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly showed excitement, and even Yang Hua grinned.
Giving out red envelopes with a good start and giving out bonuses every time you make money are two completely different concepts.
"Brother Xuan, let's drag another Internet cafe." Qin Bin said excitedly.
Li Xuan looked at him with a smile, "Aren't you tired?"
Qin Bin immediately shook his head, "I'm not tired."
Just kidding, there is money to be made, why should he be tired?
"What do you think?" Li Xuan looked at the others with a smile.
"Not tired." Everyone said in unison.
"Captain, drag another Internet cafe." Luo Hai also said.
Li Xuan looked at the crowd and saw that everyone was very motivated, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, let's cast the net again."
It's still the same sea area. This time, Li Xuan's octopus clone didn't find any valuable catches like reticulated grouper, so he didn't take action anymore. He allowed the fishing boat to trawl forward for a certain distance and then directly
Order the net to be closed.
After the fishing net was dragged up, everyone on the boat who was looking forward to it was suddenly dumbfounded.
The total catch of this second net was more than 2,000 kilograms, of which the cuttlefish and squid accounted for at least 1,500 kilograms.
"How could this happen? Why is the harvest of this second network so much worse than that of the first network?" Li's father said dumbfounded.
Of course Li Xuan would not tell him that the first net was because his octopus clone drove away the fish on the bottom of the sea. He smiled and said: "Maybe it was the first net that frightened the fish on the bottom of the sea and scattered them one after another.
Just run away."
In fact, this net is the normal harvest for most fishermen in the current fishing industry.
Father Li nodded, "Let's untie the fishing net first and see what kind of fish are inside."
Soon, the fishing net was untied.
A large bag of white fish was poured on the deck. A large number of cuttlefish were twisting on the deck, and thick ink flowed all over the deck.
Seeing these inks, everyone felt even more disappointed. It didn't take much to think about it, but we knew that the number of cuttlefish in this net would definitely not be small.
When a cuttlefish is frightened, it will eject ink from its body and run away. The ink will flow into sheets. Just imagine, will the number of cuttlefish in this net be less?
Yang Hua held a steel harpoon in both hands and opened up the piled cuttlefish, revealing the schools of fish hidden under the fish pile.
"Huh." Li Xuan suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong? Brother Xuan." Chen Bin asked doubtfully.
"This fish is sockeye salmon." Li Xuan quickly walked to the fish pile and took out a fish that was more than half a meter long and had a bright appearance.
"Is this fish valuable?" Chen Bin asked.
Li Xuan nodded.
Wang Lei frowned at this time and said: "Brother Xuan, isn't that right? I've eaten salmon in a restaurant outside. It's not expensive."
Li Xuan looked at Wang Lei, shook his head and said, "You don't understand."
"I understand, I have actually eaten it. The price of salmon depends on which part it is. If the whole salmon is sold, the price is about 40 yuan per pound. However, few people will buy a whole salmon because one
The whole salmon is very heavy, and ordinary families cannot afford it. Usually restaurants only need to buy the tail part of the salmon. The price of the tail part is 50 yuan per pound." Wang Lei
road.
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Sockeye salmon is not salmon, and even if it is salmon, the price is different. Salmon is a fish that lives in the sea and dies in the river. In sea water
There is a huge price difference between the salmon in the river and the salmon in the river."
There is a saying in hlj, "Wuhua Mountain, white dew water, and salmon will return home."
This proverb vividly describes the upstream migration of salmon.
Salmon belongs to the salmon family and is a temperate migratory fish.
When they migrate upstream and enter rivers to spawn, salmon need to go without eating or drinking for several months. Their body size will become thinner at a very rapid rate, and their appearance and nutritional content will also drastically deteriorate.
Due to the long and arduous swim and the exhaustion of physical strength caused by spawning, salmon will die soon after completing the task of reproducing offspring, so it is also called the fish that never looks back.
Every year around the time of white dew, schools of salmon swim upstream from the Pacific Ocean to their birthplace to lay eggs.
Therefore, when fishing for salmon, all kinds of baits and hooks are useless. You can only use a dragnet across the river, wait and wait, and you can catch a large number of salmon.
Every year around the white dew season, the salmon production in the river is astonishing, with a monthly output of more than 300,000 salmon, so the price is relatively cheap.
But seafood salmon is different.
When in the ocean, salmon are very ferocious carnivorous fish, feeding mainly on small fish such as jade fish and herring.
The salmon in the sea is the "beauty" in the water. It has a slender body, moderate fatness and thinness, thin and shiny scales, gray-brown back, light red belly, exquisite two fins, and elegant and agile swimming posture.
Before entering the river to migrate, the color of the salmon is very bright, and the nutritional value is much higher than before entering the river.
Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "The price of salmon grown in the ocean is almost five times that of salmon in rivers. However, the most expensive thing about salmon is not its meat, but its meat."
of fish roe.”
"Fish roe?" Chen Bin asked doubtfully.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Salmon not only has delicious meat, but its roe is more precious than fish meat. Its roe particles are very large, bright red and transparent in color, just like amber, and have very high nutritional value. Seven roe are as big as
Salmon roe is equivalent to the weight of an egg. When placed on a plate, caviar made from salmon looks like red pearls, sparkling and arousing people's appetite. Therefore, the price is extremely high and it is very popular in various countries.
welcome."
"Does this sockeye salmon have roe in it?" Chen Bin asked doubtfully.
Li Xuan shook his head, "The real name of this fish should actually be sockeye salmon. It is usually only five or six kilograms in size and is the top salmon. Mine weighs at least seven or eight kilograms, so the price is higher than ordinary sockeye salmon.
It’s more expensive.”
