After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

Freshly caught razor clams should be placed in a large basin, and the sand should be spit out after a few days.

Lu Ao didn't eat this that day, so he bought a small half of a lamb and took it home to eat.

The mutton is warm and nourishing, take it home, chop it into large pieces, blanch it in water, add ginger, garlic cloves, peppers, star anise, fragrant leaves, etc. to stir-fry, stir-fry and then stew, it is nourishing and delicious.

There was still some charcoal at home, and Lu Ao was too lazy to wait for the mutton to be stewed slowly, so he simply took out the big pot and put it on the stove, and ate it while cooking it over charcoal fire.

Song Zhou brought the wine over, and ate meat while drinking with him.

It was still early after dinner, and it was still dark.

Lu Ao remembered the skills he learned today, and insisted on taking Song Zhou to dig razor clams on the beach.

There are not as many razor clams on the beach outside their village as there are in Luowu Village, but there are better ones, and the two dug a lot of white sand.

Lu Ao was full of interest in digging seafood, and went home with Song Zhou only when the stars came up.

They dug up a small half bucket of razor clams and sand whites at night.

Spit out the sand with these razor clams, and you can eat them tomorrow night.

In the evening, Lu Ao opened WeChat to catch fish, and wanted to ask Lin Manzhang to borrow a boat.

After he got the certificate, he will practice driving a small boat for a few days, so that he will not panic when he drives a big boat.

Seeing his message, Lin Manzhang said: "Tomorrow I'm going to go fishing too, why don't you go with me?"

Lu Ao did not hesitate: OK, how many people will go tomorrow?

Lin Manzhang chatted with him in private: You and Lin Qiyan, just the three of us, the others have business

- Then what time do we leave?

Lin Manzhang: Around ten in the morning

- go after fishing in the morning?

Lin Manzhang: Yes, I go out to sea after fishing in the morning, and I don’t go fishing in the afternoon. I don’t come back until five or six in the afternoon.

- OK, then I'll come and fish with you in the morning

Lin Manzhang sent him a new fishing spot, and Lu Ao went fishing with his equipment early the next morning.

When he arrived at the meeting point, he saw Lin Qiyan was there.

Lin Qiyan put on his diving suit and was holding a camera to take pictures of the surrounding scenery as material.

Lin Qiyan was thinking about materials, making plans, and cutting materials every day, which was no easier than fishing.

When Lu Ao saw him, he would occasionally cooperate with the filming, as long as he didn't show his face.

Seeing Lu Ao coming, Lin Qiyan smiled, and asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly interested in fishing in the sea?"

"I got the certificate yesterday, let's practice first."

"No wonder. I said why you suddenly want to go to sea. You don't earn much and work hard."

While talking, several other people also came, but Lingong Shang was not there.

He also went to his future mother-in-law's house today to help dig razor clams.

His mother-in-law's razor clams had just been bred, so they had to dig them out and sell them quickly, otherwise they would lose money if they continued to raise them.

Several people talked about Lin Gongshang's hospitality, and laughed in private.

After fishing, Lin Guixiao offered to help sell the fish.

The three of Lin Manzhang saved a trip and went home to prepare the tools for going to sea.

Lu Ao's fishing net has been sorted out. The fishing net that was put into the soil last time was dug out and cleaned, and it was like a new fishing net. This time it was put into the sea to catch big fish.

He didn't expect to get much out of fishing with a net for the first time, but it's always good to learn more.

The three gathered in Sanlin Manzhang's house.

Lin Manzhang brought five nets, Lu Ao two, and Lin Qiyan none. He only brought a camera, octopus and other shooting tools, and they were excited to set off together.

Lin Manzhang's fishing boat was not too big. After the three of them filled the water tank and fuel tank, Lin Manzhang drove the boat out of the sea.

As soon as the boat sailed, the wind blew up, taking away the heat.

Lin Qiyan was wearing sunglasses, and his clothes were rattling by the wind. While taking pictures, he couldn't help feeling, "It's still comfortable to go out to sea."

"It depends on what you like." Lin Manzhang said, "After going to sea for a long time, I feel comfortable on land again."

"Sure. Brother Zhang, where are we going to fish today?"

"Go to the vicinity of Niutou Island." Lin Manzhang explained to Lu Ao emphatically, "When fishing, you generally choose near the reef area, sea oyster area, and sea vegetable area. Fish will look for food and rest in these places. If you are in the vast sea If you cast the net casually, the catch is generally not good.”

Lu Ao wrote it down.

Lin Manzhang saw that he was interested, and continued: "Fishing depends on the wind direction and tide. What kind of tide can catch what kind of fish, these are all very particular. Fish are very sensitive. Generally, when the wind is too strong, there is nothing wrong with it." Fish, there are no fish when the sea is cloudy."

"Like these tides, you have to look at which direction you are coming from. Generally speaking, the tide brings food, and the fish will follow the tide. You have to follow the tide to catch fish."

"What kind of fish is also particular about which water layer, which is related to whether you use sinking nets or floating nets for fishing."

As the boat sailed all the way, Lin Manzhang talked all the way, almost knowing everything and talking endlessly.

When they reached their destination, they cast the floating net down.

There are buoys on the floating net, and every fisherman can recognize his own buoy and will not accept other people's nets.

When it’s time to collect the net, people have to pull up the buoy first, and then slowly collect the net along the buoy.

When Lin Manzhang casts nets, he does not cast them in the same sea. He casts nets while sailing, and each net is separated by a certain distance.

From the first net to the casting of the last net, Lin Manzhang sailed for half an hour.

After casting the last net, they returned to the place where the first net was cast, and they wanted to pull up the net that had been cast in the sea.

Lin Manzhang said: "When the fishing net is cast, we usually have to wait two hours before coming to collect the net. If we can't wait, we can knock on the boat and slap the water to disturb the nearby fish. When the fish are frightened, they may panic and bump into each other. Go to the net."

Then, he took a bamboo pole and taught Lu Ao how to knock on the boat.

Lu Ao saw him banging on the ship's side on the boat, so he quickly took the oars and knocked together.

It was the first time for Lin Qiyan to know this kind of knowledge, and he took pictures with a camera on the side with great interest.

They knocked on the boat for more than ten minutes, and Lin Manzhang said: "Okay. It can be pulled."

As he spoke, he looked at the sky, hooked the buoy to the boat with an iron hook against his back, and then began to pull the net.

The first net was made by Lin Manzhang.

Lu Ao wanted to go over to help, but Lin Manzhang waved his hand, "No, I'll get my net by myself, and you can pull your net later, and let's see who catches more fish."

There is no net pulling machine on board, and it depends on Lin Manzhang's physical strength to pull the net.

The fishing net was already big and heavy, but now it was soaked in water and something was netted underneath, making it even more heavy. Lu Ao saw that the veins on the side of Lin Manzhang's neck were exposed, and his hands were even more red from being strangled.

Lin Manzhang struggled to pull all the fishing nets onto the boat, and then released the fish after pulling the nets.

"The harvest from this net is not bad." After pulling the net, Lin Manzhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw two socks to Lu Ao, and said pantingly: "You must wear socks when you fish. Be careful not to get stabbed by the sharp spines on the fish's back, some fish have very poisonous spines, and it will hurt for half a month after being stabbed."

"Okay." Lu Ao sat on the boat and fished with him.

"The first one is a black bream, which is a good omen." Lin Manzhang untied the half-pound black bream from the fishing net and threw it into the fish hold. "There is probably a ten-pound fish in this net."

Lu Ao reached out to untie the fish, and he saw a very small fish, only three fingers wide and five or six centimeters long.

Lin Manzhang glanced at it, and explained: "This is a small red brown, scientifically known as the yellowfin bream, it is too small now, throw it back into the sea first, and catch it when it grows up."

"Throw it directly?"

"Yes, if the fish caught in the sea are too small, they must be thrown back into the sea. Try not to catch juvenile fish."

Lu Ao had no objection, raised his hand and threw the fish back into the sea.

Lin Manzhang unhooked two more black breams, and harvested three palm-length sea white shrimps,

He might have bumped into a group of black breams today, and Lu Ao also got rid of three black breams.

After only 10 minutes of solving the problem, he harvested five or six catties of fish. Today's oil money can be regarded as earned back. Lin Manzhang looked at these fish with a smile on his face.

Fishermen are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of not making money.

Lu Ao lowered his head to untie the fishing net, and suddenly took out a palm-sized fish from the fishing net, and handed it to Lin Manzhang, "Is this a puffer fish?"

"Yes." Lin Manzhang took it over and patted the puffer fish's belly. "This fish will puff up when it encounters an enemy. Look at its belly."

While speaking, the belly of the puffer fish was already full of air, and all the soft spines on its body exploded, like a balloon.

Lin Manzhang smiled, "Puffer fish are very poisonous, no one eats them, and it's useless to catch them, usually they are thrown back into the sea."

"This fish is also called shoe-shine fish. Look at the soft spines on its belly, which are like rubber brushes. Some people will use it to polish shoes, but it's just for fun."

As Lin Manzhang said, he wiped his shoes with the pufferfish, and they creaked.

Lu Ao curiously reached out to take the puffer fish, and he held the puffer fish in his palm, sinking, with big eyes and a white belly, it looked quite cute.

He was curious, "It's not about puffer fish, why is it in the sea? And isn't puffer fish edible? Why do you say it's useless?"

Fugu has a great reputation, and they even learned poems about fugu before.

"The Artemisia persicae is all over the ground and the reed buds are short, which is the time when the puffer fish is about to come."

I don't know how many people have been spoiled by this poem.

"It's just called a puffer fish. It sometimes returns to freshwater to lay eggs. It can live both in the sea and in freshwater."

Lin Manzhang said: "There are many types of puffer fish. Liver, kidney, blood, etc. are highly poisonous. Some restaurants on the shore used to cook puffer fish, but they were all illegal puffer fish. Trading of puffer fish is prohibited. If you sell it, it is considered a violation of the law. Of course, a few species are now open to trade and raise puffer fish.”

Lin Qiyan interjected, "Is it the habit of eating fugu in our city? I read that fugu is extremely poisonous. In many places where fugu is eaten, for the safety of diners, when serving a dish of fugu, the chef will take the first bite."

"I don't know about that." Lin Manzhang shook his head, "But I know someone who specializes in breeding non-toxic puffer fish. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look."

Lin Qiyan immediately said, "I'm interested! Is there any non-toxic fugu?"

Lin Manzhang knows this better, "Yes, there are new species of puffer fish that have been cultivated in recent years. Among the types of puffer fish that are open to trade, there are several types of non-toxic puffer fish."

"I have never eaten non-toxic fugu, but it is said that the taste of those fugu is similar to the poisonous one, but the toxicity has been completely removed."

Fugu has always been highly poisonous, but from ancient times to the present, there are not many diners who risk their lives to eat fugu.

The chefs have also been trying their best to get rid of the toxins of the puffer fish as much as possible.

In many cases, as long as the highly poisonous liver, kidney, blood, etc. are discarded, and the residual poison of puffer fish is controlled within a safe range, it is still edible. Some diners will deliberately pursue the stimulation of this poisoning.

Lin Qiyan learned a lot about making videos, but this was the first time he heard of the existence of non-toxic puffer fish. "So amazing?"

Seeing that they were really interested, Lin Manzhang said, "There are people raising them in our county. If you want to see them, I'll take you there tomorrow."

"I treat you guys well, I just use the filming funds to have a meal. By the way, I would like to ask if they can film. I will film an issue about the food of non-toxic puffer fish, and I will also promote them when the time comes."

"Okay, after I go back, I'll help you ask, it should be fine."

Seeing that Lu Ao was still holding the puffer fish in his hand, Lin Manzhang smiled and said, "You can throw away this puffer fish. I'll take you to eat non-toxic puffer fish tomorrow."

Lu Ao looked at it, stretched out his hand and threw it lightly.

The puffer fish turned its belly in the sea, and after a while, its belly disappeared, its tail flicked slightly, its big eyes blinked, and it slipped away.

Whether it is delicious or not, Lu Ao has never tasted it, but this puffer fish looks really cute.

Lu Ao raised his head, "Can I take more people with me tomorrow?"

"Who is it, Song Zhou?"

"Correct."
