Chapter 209 The Weather Is Really Nice Today (Please Subscribe, Ask for Tickets)

At dinner, the people on the fishing boat were full of praise for the taste of the black snail after eating it.Liu Jun even said that it is more delicious than abalone. After all, abalone itself does not have much taste, it depends on the ingredients and sauce.

After tasting the taste of these black snails, Li Zhenjiang and his crew members knew that their boss was about to make a fortune this time.

A very important factor in the price of seafood is the taste. If the taste is good, there will be more people who like to eat it, and the price will naturally rise.

And sometimes the top taste can make people go crazy, and even make people forget life and death.

Just like the pufferfish known as "the first delicacy in the Yangtze River", "the three wonderful flavors of the aquarium" and "the four beauties of the Jiangdong", its body contains a highly toxic substance - pufferfish toxin.

Tetrodotoxin is one of the most toxic neurotoxins found in nature, and was once considered the most toxic non-protein toxin in nature.

Pufferfish contains tetrodotoxin in its body. If people do not handle it properly, eating it will easily cause death.

Because the onset time of tetrodotoxin is fast, if the rescue is not timely, the person will die within 10 minutes at the fastest and about 4 hours at the latest, and there are no effective rescue measures after poisoning.

A fish with such a poison in its body has become a delicacy that people venture to taste.One of the important reasons is that pufferfish's meat is extremely delicious.

There is a folk comment on pufferfish, "If you don't eat pufferfish, you will know the taste of fish; if you eat pufferfish, it will be fresh and tasteless."

It can also be seen from people's words that the umami taste of fugu is indeed extraordinary.Even Su Dongpo, a great foodie and writer in the Song Dynasty, was a fan of fugu. He even said: It is worth dying to eat fugu.

Sometimes Liu Hao, a big foodie, can't help but marvel at the magic of the creator, who can combine the two things of poison and freshness into one. Only try desperately.

After dinner, Liu Hao and Li Zhenjiang sat on the deck to rest. They were really exhausted today.But they feel very satisfied now, because during the dinner just now, they were still thinking about the deliciousness of the black ring snail.

"Boss, will you continue fishing for the black snails tomorrow?" Li Zhenjiang asked softly while sitting on a small stool with his back against the iron gate.

"Catch, continue to catch tomorrow, until the water tank is full. At that time, it is also time for us to return."

"Brother Hao is right. You didn't go down today. If you did, you would definitely not be willing to come up after seeing the situation under the sea. The black conch is like a super big quilt, covering a large area of ​​the seabed , so densely packed that you can't believe it." Luo Hao gestured exaggeratedly with both hands, and said excitedly.

"Is it really that exaggerated? I haven't seen it, so I really can't imagine it."

"Then you go down with us tomorrow. The sight is guaranteed to be unforgettable after you see it."

Hearing Luo Hao's words, Li Zhenjiang's heart was shocked. He really wanted to go down and take a look. To be honest, he had never seen such a scene after being a fisherman for decades.

"Boss, tomorrow you will be responsible for the lifting on the fishing boat. Let me go down to pick up conch shells. How can the boss go down to work by himself?" Li Zhenjiang said to Liu Hao with a smile.Sometimes it is really difficult for him to understand the character of his boss.You can call him salted fish, like today, he did it himself again.

You can say that he is hardworking. He is playing games or sleeping a lot of the time, and he doesn’t even go out to sea. He spends so much money to hire a few crew members from them. will come out.

If other ship bosses gave them such a high salary, they would definitely want to go to sea every day and work 24 hours a day without stopping.

"Do you want to go on? That's fine. In this way, I can be a salted fish for the captain, and you can earn a little more. After all, you can get half of the money if you catch a black conch. It seems that I didn't think carefully and snatched it." You've got extra money." Liu Hao thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered what he had promised them before.

"No, boss, you have misunderstood. I have never thought about it. Even Song Jianjun and the others, I don't think so. Isn't this a normal fishing job? Why do we have to divide it in half?" Li Zhenjiang heard him say so As soon as he said it, he knew that the boss had misunderstood him, so he quickly waved his hand and explained.

"That's right, Brother Hao, I don't even know about it until you tell me. I don't think we caught the black conch shells today. Because these are the places you found yourself, Brother Hao, we It's just to help you fish it out." Luo Hao said with a serious face.

He knew that Liu Hao was kind to them, or that he didn't care about the money at all, but he couldn't rely on this, so he had no bottom line.

He will take the money that should be taken, and he will not take the money that should not be taken.

"Boss Luo Hao is right. It's like fishing with a net. You find a school of fish, and then we lower the net. This is what the crew should do."

"Today's catching black snails is actually similar to fishing with nets. You found the place, boss, and we, as your crew, help you catch them, but the fishing method is changed to diving. "

After Li Zhenjiang finished speaking, Liu Hao couldn't laugh or cry. Did these crew members turn around, or how could they be so fair?
"What are you doing? You don't want any money, is it because you eat too much seafood and get confused?"

"We all know that you are a very good ship boss, but for some things, it is better to have some principles. Human greed is endless. We are afraid that you will spoil us." Li Zhenjiang said to Liu Hao with a serious face and earnestly .

When the others heard what he said, they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing how serious they were, Liu Hao pondered for a moment, and then said aloud: "In this way, diving fishing is much harder and more dangerous than working on a fishing boat. Ten percent. That's the decision."

When Liu Hao spoke, he still looked casual, but there was a meaning in his tone that could not be refuted.

Li Zhenjiang and the others looked at each other, and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.They have been with Liu Hao for a while, and they know that what he said just now has made a decision and has not changed.

And they also understand that diving is indeed a lot more tiring and dangerous if you don't work on a boat, and they don't have any burden to share [-]%.After all, on other fishing boats, the boss of the boat would not let the crew go diving to hunt fish.

One is because of the danger, and more importantly, the work of their crew is much more tiring than Liu Hao's, and the working hours are much longer than theirs.

At the end of the day, there may only be four or five hours of rest. Under such circumstances, asking the crew members to dive to catch fish is no different from letting them die.

Just when Li Zhenjiang and the others were deep in thought and did not speak.Liu Hao suddenly smiled and said to them: "Hey, do you know the price of the black snail?"

"This is still a new species. Isn't it still available in the market? Anyway, I haven't seen fishmongers collecting this thing." Li Zhenjiang thought for a while and said seriously.

He thought Liu Hao wanted to know how much this conch could sell for.

"The taste is so delicious, even if it is a new variety, the price will not be very low, right? Such a delicious taste, how can it be worth a hundred yuan a catty?" Song Jianjun touched his head and guessed seriously road.

Hearing his words, Li Zhenjiang, who had just finished speaking, answered, "I think it's more than that. I've eaten snails worth a few hundred yuan a catty, and the taste is far worse than that of black snails."

"Based on this calculation, a catty of black snails should not be less than 300 yuan, but this depends on the acceptance of consumers. If they don't accept this conch, it may not be sold. After all, it is a new species, so I don't know yet. Is there any harm to the human body?"

Luo Hao shook his head: "That's true, but I think that as long as people know the taste of black snails is very delicious, there will definitely be many people who want to eat them. Puffer fish are also highly poisonous, and people are very fond of them. It’s not like flocking to it, desperate to eat it.”

"At least 800 yuan a catty, I've already had a preliminary discussion with them. As long as the conch is tested to be free of toxins, they will offer at least 800 yuan per catty." Liu Hao looked at the conch without waiting for them to continue talking. They said slowly.

"8...800 yuan per catty? Isn't that a little too crazy?" Song Jianjun faltered, his face full of surprise and disbelief.

When other people heard the price, their hearts were also shocked, and they were frightened by the price.It's not that they haven't seen high-priced seafood. The silver pomfret Liu Hao caught last time sold for more than 1000 a catty.

But they have never seen such expensive seafood like conch. The most expensive one is abalone. Although abalone is also a kind of conch, they generally regard it as shellfish.

So before the black snail, the most expensive conch they had ever seen was the snail, three to four hundred a catty.Not to mention conch shells such as Marlboro and Nautilus, which are used for collection, the price is very high, ranging from 10,000+, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, but these are the prices for collection, not for eating The price, the two cannot be compared.

"Hey, do you regret it? If you distribute according to the plan I said before, you can get at least 3000 yuan if you pick up a black conch." Liu Hao deliberately emphasized the 3000 yuan, using it like a devil. The voice was luring Li Zhenjiang and the others.

"Hiss... three... 3000 yuan each, I'll go to him and be good." Luo Hao, a heartless person, trembled and spoke a sentence intermittently.

"..."

When other people heard this number, they felt as if they were hit hard with a stone hammer. The expressions on their faces changed, and they wanted to say something, but they seemed to be choked by something, and they couldn't say anything. come out.

After a while, thousands of words in their hearts merged into a godlike word.

"Wood grass!"

Several roars containing complex emotions such as shock, helplessness, regret, and sighs spewed out from the mouths of several crew members, even Guo Jia, who has always been a quiet talker, was no exception.

After they roared, they felt much more comfortable physically and mentally.It's as if something suffocated in the body has been released, one word cool!
After the surrounding was quiet for a while, someone coughed a few times, and then the painting style changed.

"Yeah, the weather is nice today. There are so many stars in the sky."

"Yes, I rarely see so many stars in my hometown, and the sea is more spacious here."

"Well, if it's not a fishing boat, if it's a yacht instead, the beauty of this beautiful day is really beautiful."

……

Hearing them chatting awkwardly, Liu Hao was very helpless.

"Okay, stop pretending, the weather is really nice, and I'm still talking about decades old sayings."

"Continue to look at the stars and the moon by yourselves. I'm going to sleep. You go to bed early, or you won't have the strength to go on tomorrow."

Seeing Liu Hao turn around and go back to his room, the rest of you glanced at each other, and then let out a long sigh in unison.

"Ugh……"

This time they lost a lot, picking up a conch can earn 3000 yuan.They might be millionaires by the end of the day.

Originally, they thought that a catty of black snails would be about 300 yuan at most, so a conch would be about 6 catties, which is 800 yuan, and half of it would be [-] yuan. Not worth mentioning.

God!

Why are you punishing us like this.

No, it should be Brother Hao, why did you tell us the price...

Shrimp and pig heart!
There was nothing to say all night, Liu Hao was too tired, so he was not on duty, and slept until the next morning before waking up.

At night, Liu Hao and Li Zhenjiang took turns to be on duty, because they operated cranes on fishing boats during the day and their work was easy.

After breakfast, Liu Hao didn't let them go into the water to catch black snails immediately, because it's late autumn, the sun hasn't come out in the morning, and the surrounding air and sea water are relatively cool.

If they went down to work in the sea now, their physical strength would definitely be exhausted very quickly.So Liu Hao didn't let Li Zhenjiang and his crew go fishing until after nine o'clock in the morning.

"The psychological qualities of your comrades-in-arms are still very strong. Yesterday, I knew that a black conch can earn three thousand, and I was screaming like hell. Today, I wake up as if nothing happened." After Liu Hao saw that all the crew members had dived to the bottom of the sea, he said softly. Say something.

Liu Jun, who was standing next to Liu Hao, couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then slowly showed a smug smile on his face.

"Can my comrades be bad? They are all elites in the army. There must be no problem with their psychological quality, and there must be no problem with their people, right?"

"No problem, what's the problem? They are very good, even Li Zhenjiang is also very good. They were able to stick to their hearts in the face of such a big temptation yesterday. It's really good." Speaking of Liu Hao couldn't help giving thumbs up to his own crew members.

Liu Jun answered: "They are not stupid, nor are they so short-sighted. You have gained so much from the two trips to sea, and they are not fools. They see everything in their eyes."

"You are so good at finding fish, so it's good for them. They know that as long as they follow you, they will definitely earn more in the future. As long as they compare a little bit, they will naturally know how to choose."

"But if you know it, you know that you can stand up to the temptation of millions. This is not something everyone can do. So they are still very good."

Liu Hao nodded, looked up into the depths of the sea, and said leisurely: "These few are our senior crew members. We will go farther in the future. With them by our side, it will definitely be much easier. .”

Liu Jun hurriedly said loudly: "That's for sure! On the sea, it is very lucky to have crew members who know everything about themselves and have excellent quality."

"Especially if you go to a farther place, if there are no familiar and good-natured crew members on the fishing boat, it will be very dangerous to go out to sea."

This is not alarmist talk, because such things have already happened.

A fishing boat came back from the ocean, but the number of people didn't match.

Finally, after investigation, it was discovered that the people on the fishing boat had internal strife, and then...
