The yearning life starts from catching the sea

Chapter 83
As soon as Qin Tian approached, a crab escaped from the pile of seafood and ran across to his feet. He stepped on it with his quick eyes and quick hands, bent down and caught it.

This is an orchid crab. There is some yellowing on the carapace on its belly. You can tell at a glance that it is very fat. No wonder it dares to sneak away. It turns out to be a fat man!

Qin Tian chuckled and threw it into the plastic basket, looked at the pile of various seafood and fish and said, "Old Liu, it seems that our first net harvest is not good!"

Liu Yunqing pulled some seaweed and said with a smile: "Boss, this is not surprising! The fish finder can only detect whether there are fish, but it cannot detect the specific fish!"

He grabbed a silver pomfret and shook it and said: "This net is almost full of these silver pomfrets. The harvest is not too bad, it can only be said to be average!"

He pointed at the stern of the boat, "Now we have to lower the trawl net into the sea and haul in another net. As long as the harvest is not bad, we can't miss any opportunity. After all, it's safe to be in the bag!"

Qin Tian turned to look at the stern of the ship. At this time, several crew members were placing the trawl net. The Chengfeng also began to speed up. After a while, the trawl net had been placed, and the crew members returned to the bow deck to continue. Sorting seafood and fish products.

They need to put all the harvest of this net into the icehouse for quick freezing before the next net is pulled up, otherwise, the harvest of the next net will be delayed.

Working on a fishing boat is like this. When you are free, you are very idle, and when you are busy, you are very busy.

Qin Tian took a look and knelt down to help.

Liu Yunqing quickly advised: "Boss, it would be great if we could do these things. If you are bored, just go to the cockpit and chat with Boss Li!"

Qin Tian quickly threw seven or eight silver pomfrets into the plastic basket, and said casually, "Old Liu, stop talking nonsense and do something quickly!"

Liu Yunqing immediately smiled and gave Qin Tian a thumbs up, then lowered his head and got busy. The other crew members also seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood, and started working with enthusiasm. The boss was already working with them, who dared to be lazy? !
After a while, Qin Tian was suddenly startled because he saw a puffer fish. At this moment, it was bulging its body into a round shape, like a ball of thorns. It looked a bit strange and a bit silly.

The spiny fish is a strange fish that looks like a small hedgehog on land. Its liver, blood and gonads are poisonous, and the meat may also be poisonous. Therefore, the spiny fish cannot be eaten, but it can be used as fertilizer .

However, because of its beautiful color and peculiar appearance, it has become a cute ornamental fish in aquariums. People often peel off the skin of the puffer fish, dry it and inflate it, and then install a light bulb in the middle. Create art treasures for sale.

Its body is short and wide, its eyes are large, its teeth are beak-shaped, and its body is covered with long hard spines. The bases of the spines are connected to each other to form a continuous whole deck, but its spines can be flexibly controlled.

Normally, these spines are just like the scales on other fish, sticking smoothly to its body and not visible at all.

Whenever a predator attacks, the pufferfish will swallow seawater and air, causing its body to swell, and the thorns all over its body will stand up along with the expanded skin, turning it into a prickly ball.

Then, because the "ball" is filled with air and water, it can float belly up on the water, like a big chestnut floating on the sea, and it will continue to make "coo" sounds from its mouth.

Although this "intimidation technique" cannot cause damage to the enemy, it can also defend itself. Those ferocious marine animals, such as hammerhead sharks, will find it difficult to eat when they encounter it, and they will have to swim away in anger.

When the danger has passed, the spiny puffer will spit out the water and air it swallowed, return the body to its original shape, and the spines will lie down and stick to the body, and finally slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

The word "fish" in pufferfish evolved from the word "dolphin".Dolphin means little pig, because among this type of fish, except for the horse-faced puffer fish, the three-spined puffer fish, and the scaled puffer fish, most of them are fat and round, like a little fat pig, so people call it puffer fish. .

Liu Yunqing noticed that Qin Tian stopped his movements, raised his head and looked over, his face changed instantly, he jumped towards Qin Tian, ​​and pulled Qin Tian to sit on the deck.

He asked very nervously, "Boss, you weren't bitten, were you?"

Qin Tian said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Old Liu, you don't have to be so nervous! I was fine originally, but now my butt is almost blooming!"

Liu Yunqing explained with an embarrassing expression: "Boss, I'm not worried about you! This stingray is extremely poisonous, if you accidentally bite it, you will die."

Qin Tian also felt a little scared at this time. Just now he was only admiring the appearance of the puffer fish, and almost ignored its famous puffer fish toxin, which is a super powerful neurotoxin and a natural toxin of non-protein small molecules. One of the most toxic neurotoxins, it is 1200 times more toxic than cyanide.

In short, puffer fish toxin is extremely powerful, its lethal dose is extremely low, and there is no antidote.

The stingray toxin does not act on the heart. During the poisoning process, the victim's heart will still keep beating, which causes the victim to feel extreme pain from beginning to end because he is conscious.

If Qin Tian was accidentally bitten by it just now, he would be ready to say goodbye to this world!
He came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Old Liu, hurry up and tell the crew to be careful. Pufferfish sometimes appear in groups. Except for this one, there may also be puffer fish in these seafood."

After Liu Yunqing heard this, he immediately stood up and went to explain to the crew. Qin Tian took a spoon, scooped up the spiny fish, put it in a bucket, and raised it temporarily.

He thought that the green sea turtle he had just caught was surprising enough, but he did not expect that this catch would also surprise him.

Life is often so wonderful, you never know what will happen next second!

Qin Tian sighed, and then hurriedly started to work again. Chengfeng has already started to slow down slowly, and the next net is about to be collected soon. If you don't hurry up, you will be delayed.

Next, there were no more accidents. With the efforts of all the crew, all kinds of seafood and fish were quickly sorted. They left three or four people at the bow of the ship to continue rinsing the seafood and fish while the others arrived. The stern of the boat began to collect the second net.

This time, Qin Tian also gave his hand. Unfortunately, the net bag formed by the last trawl net was obviously not as big as the first net, and the expressions of the crew members were also relatively calm, and they cooperated with each other in an orderly manner.

Without any accidents, the seafood and fish caught in the second net were quickly sorted and rinsed, and the Chengfeng also sailed away from this sea area to continue looking for fish.

After Qin Tian helped organize and sort the harvest, he carried the puffer fish into the live fish tank, gave it oxygen and raised it. He wanted to bring all the ornamental fish he had caught to the shore so that he could raise them later. In the company’s fish tank background wall.

After he was done, he went back to the cabin, and the chef Jiang Fucai had already started preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Qin Tian walked over and asked: "Old Jiang, what are we going to eat for lunch?"

Seeing him, Jiang Fucai immediately smiled and replied: "Boss, we will have mixed fish stew and lotus root pork ribs soup for lunch."

Qin Tian nodded and smiled: "Okay, then don't hide your secrets. I will have a good taste of your chef's skills later."

Jiang Fucai nodded shyly and said with a smile: "Boss, how can I be a chef? Anyway, I will cook whatever is on the ship. Don't be disappointed later."

Cook whatever you have! ! !
There was a sense of domineering in the casualness of these words.

Qin Tian looked forward to it even more!
He had heard Li Haiquan say before that among the crew members, Jiang Fu was the most popular core figure among the crew members. If they wanted to recruit them, they must not let Jiang Fucai go, otherwise the team's combat effectiveness would definitely not be that high.

Because under limited conditions, it is not an easy task to make the crew eat and drink well.

Military experts have said it all, haven’t they?War is all about logistics. If logistics support is not done well, the war will be defeated.

Therefore, when he was done with work, Qin Tian also looked forward to having delicious food to soothe his tired body.

After a while, Qin Tian changed into dry clothes and waited for dinner, and the other crew members also returned to the cabin after finishing their work.

Liu Yunqing reported to Qin Tian the harvest of the two nets just now. They probably caught more than 5000 catties of seafood and fish, most of which were silver pomfret, and all of them had been put into the freezer for quick freezing.

Qin Tian nodded to indicate that he understood. This harvest was neither good nor bad. At least he had made back his gas money today.

After they chatted for a while, Jiang Fucai announced that it was time to start dinner. At this time, a large pot of fish stew was steaming on the stove, and a delicious smell also emanated.

A crew member went to fetch a bowl of food first, and then took the food to the cockpit to eat while on duty, while Li Haiquan left the cockpit and came down to eat.

The seven or eight of them did not sit together. Instead, they each prepared meals and vegetables in the small kitchen, and then found a place in the cabin to sit down and eat.

Although there is only one dish this time, the miscellaneous fish just out of the water was fried golden on both sides by Jiang Fucai, and then put into a clay pot and stewed with shallots and celery, so that the umami flavor of all kinds of miscellaneous fish was stewed out and blended together , it is very satisfying to eat.

Qin Tian nodded while eating. Li Haiquan did not lie to him. Jiang Fucai's cooking skills were indeed good. It seemed that he didn't have to worry about not getting used to it now.

After finishing their meal and drinking the sweet lotus root and pork rib soup, Qin Tian and Li Haiquan took a walk on the deck to eat and discussed the next fishing operation together.
