MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 11 fishing
"Herrings are worthless?" Minami was stunned after hearing this. Although this herring is not very expensive in later generations, it is not cheap either. Why are these people so disappointed?
It was at this time that Shuichi Minano recalled from the memory in his mind. Turns out herring wasn't as popular as it was decades later. Herring is now classified as a poor man's fish because it is very cheap, and it is not a great delicacy like in later generations.
"Is it the fish that the poor eat?" Minami Shuuichi felt a bit bitter in his mouth. At first, he was very excited, thinking that he had found a super large school of fish. But I didn't expect that this school of fish turned out to be a school of herring that even the poor could despise!
In other words, this fish is worthless.
"Forget it, it's better than nothing." Minano Shuichi consoled himself. How can I say that I encountered a school of fish yesterday, and I also encountered a school of fish today. If you do not have the ability to be given by the system. It is estimated that there is no fish school once a week. For example, if you are driving three nautical miles away, the school of fish is three nautical miles away from you. It's not far, but if you go straight, you won't be able to meet it!
But Minano Shuichi has the ability to capture the location of fish, and the fish within a hundred nautical miles can't escape his eyes!
"Boss, are you salvaging?" Someone asked at this time. If you salvage such cheap fish, you will really lose money this time.
"Salvage, why not salvage, if you can't sell it, you can't eat it yourself!" Nanye Xiuyi smiled. If he has this ability, he doesn't believe that he will lose money on this trip to sea.
"Nano-kun, don't be disappointed. Think about the fact that we encountered such a large school of fish the next day we went out to sea, which proves that we are lucky. Some fishing teams may not even encounter a school of fish." At this time, Inoue Ami, this beautiful woman, appeared behind Minano Shuichi at some point and comforted her.
"That's right, maybe we will encounter a new school of fish tomorrow, everyone cheers!" Minami Shuichi said aloud.
Fishing begins.
At the stern, three sailors and seven or eight women have thrown a large trawling net into the sea. This kind of fishing net is not a small fishing net, but it weighs hundreds of kilograms in total! It took almost ten or twenty minutes from the beginning of the net to the end of the net.
The huge fishing net quickly opened under the drag of the fishing boat, turning into a semi-circular trawling net and surrounded the fish. A trawl is a mobile filter fishing gear. Relying on the power of the fishing boat to drag the bag-shaped fishing gear, the fish, shrimp, crab, shell or mollusk are forcibly towed into the net in the waters it passes through, so as to achieve the purpose of fishing production. Trawling is an important fishing net not only now, but also in the decades to come.
Now Minano Shuichi is using a single-capsule trawl.
The speed of the fishing boat has already mentioned the fastest speed, and this trawling net has already caught the fish. These frolicking herring have no idea that danger is approaching.
"Crash..."
"Flapping Flutter!"
After the herring caught in the net and found that it could not escape, they all rammed left and right, trying to escape from here. Unfortunately, fishing nets are not so easily broken. They just do useless struggles.
"Crash!" After a large number of herrings entered the net, they showed a huge struggle, as if the speed of the entire fishing boat gradually slowed down.
"On the Internet, on the Internet!" Someone shouted.
"These herrings are so fat, they're big adults."
"Kimura-kun, keep moving forward." Minami Shuuichi said after cutting his vision back to reality from the bottom of the sea. He just saw that the trawling net was in the middle of the school, and many herrings should be in the net by this time.
"I know the boss." The old man Kimura grinned. He feels a little distressed for Minami Shuuichi now. He clearly encountered a large school of fish, but he didn't expect it to be a cheap herring.
It would be nice if you came across a school of salmon.
At this time, everyone is performing their duties and working hard. However, Minamino Shuichi was a little lacking in interest.
"Close the net, close the net, change the net immediately, I'm going to get busy." After more than 20 minutes, the first net was almost gone. The network can be closed.
When the first net came out of the water, everyone could see the herring piled up in rows on the net.
"Crash." The herring struggled even more as soon as they came out of the water.
"hurry up."
After a lot of hard work, all the fish in the first net finally came up on the deck.
At this time, more birds gathered in the sky, they were chirping excitedly and eating happily.
"Quick, quick, cast the second net, ladies, you are about to start work, sort these herrings and put them in the freezer!" Hideo Minami stood in the center and began to direct everyone.
Three sailors and four or five women proceeded to lay the second trawl. This first trawl was buried by the fish and not yet usable. Just get rid of all the fish in the net.
The fishing time is not long, it can be said to be fleeting, so generally there are several nets alternately connected to each other. That way you don't waste time, and you don't waste the best time to fish.
At this moment, the whole fishing boat was at its busiest time.
The women squatted on the ground and began to pack the fish in boxes and boxes, and then three strong sailors put the boxes of fish into the freezer.
Even Minamino Shuichi joined the transport team.
At this time, even Yuko Miyamoto, who was unwell, came to help.
I don't know how many fish came from the first net. Anyway, there are many, so many are piled up like a mountain. Anyway, the deck of the entire fishing boat is full of white pieces.
Then comes the second net, the third net, and the fourth net. By the time of the fifth net, the fish had become very sparse, and it was estimated that these herrings had all fled for their lives.
Been busy until two o'clock in the afternoon before putting all the salvaged herring into the refrigerator.
From 8:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon, everyone didn't eat, just drank some water. After the work, everyone except Kimura, who was sailing the boat, collapsed on the deck. Therefore, fishing is very hard, and the busy feet never leave the ground.
"This time is really a bumper harvest, boss." Someone said with a smile.
"These herrings take up half the space in the refrigerator!" Ueno Michitani.
"Okay, let's cook quickly, let's taste how this fresh herring tastes! By the way, grilled herring, fried herring, and stewed herring are all indispensable!" Nanye Xiu said. Although herring is not very popular right now. But it still tastes good. Otherwise, it will not be delicious in the future.
"Okay." Miyamoto Yuko smiled tenderly. So, Miyamoto Yuko, Inoue Ami, and three other women went to cook.
When it comes to eating seafood, the fishermen are the first ones to eat. Among the foodies, the fishermen are definitely the best. The seafood they have eaten is definitely the most, and it is also the freshest and the most original.
