Chapter 257
As an important seaport of Great Yin, Haining Mansion is stationed with most of the navy in the Far East Army, maintaining safety at sea. Therefore, people who go to sea do not have to worry about encountering pirates during their journey. Merchant ships of various chambers of commerce, and even rich people There are quite a lot of sea flower boats for business.

Most of the flower boats come and go in the coastal waters along the coastline of Haining Prefecture. When you get close, you can hear the singers on the boat playing and singing.

Some coincidentally encountered merchant ships will do business with some flower boats, meet in fixed sea areas, and dock next to each other for a small half-day. During this period, guests on the merchant ship can have fun on the flower boat, and come back when the time is right to continue the unfinished journey.

In short, this can be regarded as a unique custom and culture in the sea of ​​Haining Prefecture. Many people from other states come to Haining Prefecture specifically for the gimmick of these flower boats, and contribute a lot of additional taxes to Haining Prefecture.

Of course Ji Wutian and the others would not go on a flower boat to be chic, but from time to time, when passing by some flower boats that are extremely gorgeously decorated, full of fragrance, and countless actresses, they would still take a second look, just as a Strange.

Ji Xiaoyang wanted to broaden her horizons, but under the warning eyes of Ji Wutian and Qi Susu, she didn't dare to fart, and could only watch one ship after another full of beauties leaving her with regret. go.

When the trace of the flower boat can no longer be seen, it indicates that they have begun to move away from the near sea and go to the far sea.

However, this division of far and near is only relative. Ancient ships were paddled by hand, and there was no such condition for ocean travel. The so-called far sea is only far away from the shore, but in fact it is still a thousand miles away from the real far sea. .

"It's kind of boring." Ji Xiaoyang said dryly.

At this time, half a day had passed since they left the pier.

People who live on land always have an indescribable longing for the ocean, but anyone who has been to the sea knows that the so-called sea scenery... is actually a fart.

The scenery along the sea-sky line is really pretty, but it’s just that after looking at it for a long time.

What is there to see at sea?Go farther away from the shore and look around, except for sea water in all directions. At most, when the wind is strong, the waves are bigger, and the scenery is basically the same.

When there were flower boats and other merchant ships coming and going, Ji Xiaoyang's mood was still high, and he didn't meet any ships for more than an hour. When he could only look at the vast sea and sigh, Ji Xiaoyang withered.

Qi Susu ate the pre-processed seafood snacks bought before boarding the boat, and said casually: "It's not interesting to just look at the scenery on the sea for a long time. If you feel bored, you can have fun by yourself."

Ji Xiaoyang slumped half of her body on the wooden railing, tilting her head to look at her, "What fun can we have at sea?"

Qi Susu said: "Have you forgotten what we are doing when we go to sea?"

Ji Xiaoyang said: "Come and play."

"..." Qi Susu was dumbfounded.

That said, there's nothing wrong with it.

"We need to get more fresh, high-quality sea medicine!"

Ji Xiaoyang was stunned, "Oh! It seems that this is the case."

Ji Wutian couldn't help laughing at the side, thinking that the interaction between their mother and son was very interesting.

Qi Susu gave him a warning look, telling him not to just watch the fun, and then said to Ji Xiaoyang: "When the suitable sea area is reached, the crew members on the boat will lower their nets to catch fish, and some of them will directly take the fish with them." Go into the sea with a small net to catch fish, and when you catch some special fish, you can watch the excitement."

They are 'cruise ships', not fishing boats, and it is impossible to cast a large net and get a whole boat full of fishy smell. There are empty wooden boxes specially prepared for fish on the spacious deck, which are filled with fresh sea water. After the fish are caught, the suitable ones are kept inside, while the others are handled by the crew themselves, and they are resold after returning to the shore, just in exchange for their hard work.

When the crew is busy, they can use the fishing tools attached to the big boat to find a good position and fish!

Just as he was talking, he heard the deputy shouting loudly behind him: "It should be almost here."

The boat that had been moving stopped slowly, and the crew dropped the anchor to fix the boat, and then began busy preparing to lower the net and go into the sea.

Xing Zheng also went to help the crew after the crew was busy, or maybe it was to supervise the work?

Ji Xiaoyang, who was still chattering about boredom just now, became energetic all of a sudden, and ran over to join in the fun, looking here and there for a while, and asking various questions in his mouth, which actually caused trouble for the crew.

Qi Susu dragged people back speechlessly, and said: "Don't interfere with their business, I want to know how they cast their nets and whether they can catch fish, you'll know later."

Ji Xiaoyang said regretfully: "That's fine, I'll just wait, Sister Qingdai, where are the fishing tackles on the boat, and when they cast their nets, let's go fishing for a while."

Qing Dai smiled and agreed, and brought the fishing tackle that had been prepared earlier with Nan Xing, as well as the upholstered seat, and some tea and snacks. The service was very thoughtful.

A family of three sat down in a row on the aisle on the side of the boat, each with a fishing rod, flicked the fishing line, and started fishing.

The fishing process was rather boring, so Ji Xiaoyang urged Qi Susu to tell him some fresh stories.

Ji Wutian said: "Didn't I tell you a lot of stories before, I have told you all that can be told, what else is new?"

Qi Susu and Ji Xiaoyang looked at him with expressions of 'you are so naive' at the same time, Qi Susu snorted: "You are underestimating the stock in my stomach."

Ji Wutian was surprised, there is really a new story to tell?
Qi Susu raised her chin: Of course.

Now that we are at sea, of course we have to tell some related stories and scenes.

What are the stories related to the sea... there are many.

What Jingwei is filling the sea, Nezha is making trouble in the sea, the daughter of the sea, Poseidon, the god of the sea, combines Chinese and foreign, and comes as soon as she opens her mouth.

Not only can she tell fairy tales and fairy tales, but she can also tell stories like Crusoe Crusoe and adventures like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Errands?Not bad!
Please call her 'Story King' from now on!
Several people were attracted by the wonderful storylines she narrated. They didn't catch a fish, but they were delighted to hear the stories.

After listening to Crusoe and Pirates, Ji Xiaoyang became even more interested in deserted islands and treasures.

If it wasn't for the fact that someone from Xing Zheng's side came over to tell them that the first net has already been set up, and the crew members who went to sea are also boarding the boat one after another, Ji Xiaoyang might call out to change the purpose of going to sea and go to find a deserted island. Treasure hunt.

A group of people looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at the empty wooden barrels, threw the fishing rod aside, and went to the deck to see the results of the crew.

On the deck, several large wooden boxes that were empty before were now filled with all kinds of marine fish with almost no gaps. This is not the end, there are many large basins with as many fish as hills piled up there. Unwillingly thumping, as if protesting the injustice of God.

The captain yelled at the crew to pick out the more common edible sea fish first and put them separately, put the poisonous and inedible messy sea fish in another wave, and put another wave of common sea fish known to have medicinal value.

It is said that it is a small net, but the number of fish caught is still quite large. This place is no more overfished than in modern times. As long as you find the location, you can get a small harvest with just a quick catch.

Qi Susu enthusiastically led Qingdai and Nan Xing to look around the box containing medicinal value, and found that there were quite a lot of varieties in it.

Pomfret, shad, flounder, abalone, and a small group of medium-sized seahorses, as well as a few rays, also known as flying fish, although the quality cannot be said to be the best, but it is considered a good start.

Satisfied, Qi Susu strolled to the poisonous box to take a look, and was delighted to see that there was a sea ray in it. Thinking about it, it was not surprising, the meat of the sea ray was not poisonous. But the tail is poisonous, so there is nothing wrong with it being distributed here.

This thing also has certain medicinal value. The meat can cure a man's astringent pain, white pus discharge, and sexually transmitted diseases. The tail can cure tooth pain. It's not a common sea medicine, but it's expensive because it's rare.

Ji Wutian and Ji Xiaoyang didn't know much about sea food, so they could only watch the fun, and had little interest in sea medicine. The father and son tacitly focused on the edible part, and the one thought about making these sea fish. How delicious the finished dish will be, and one is secretly lamenting that the sea fish grows too freely, and the fish does not look like a fish.

When Qi Susu came over, he just heard Ji Wutian complaining to Ji Xiaoyang for the first time, and almost burst out laughing. When he looked down, he saw an octopus dangling its claws on the wall of the wooden box. Geoduck... Poof, it's not just that it grows as you like, it's clear that it doesn't look at evil.

No wonder the few crew members who were close to each other looked around with blushing faces, but they didn't dare to look into the wooden box.

Geoducks are notoriously obscene in the seafood industry. Even modern people would feel embarrassed when they saw them. What's more, the ancients, fortunately, they didn't get this thing and throw it away.

Although this thing looks strange, but the taste is unique, and the nutritional value is also very high, it is a good thing!

Moreover, in modern times, this thing is mainly distributed on the east coast of the United States and Canada, but unexpectedly, it was found in the offshore of Dayin. I have to say that the world here is a bit strange.

Qi Susu intentionally whispered in Ji Wutian's ear: "Let's let the kitchen cook this tonight."

Ji Wutian: "!"

Ji Wutian glanced at the geoduck with a vague expression and a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Is this thing really edible?In this shape, he was afraid that he would find it hard to swallow.

Seeing this, Qi Susu first laughed wantonly for a while, then wiped away the tears from the laughter, put his arm on Ji Wutian's shoulder and said: "There are so many fresh things in the sea, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and living in There may not necessarily be fish in the sea, such as whales, but they are resounding mammals, just like cattle and sheep."

Ji Wutian was suspicious: "Whale? What kind of fish is that?"

Qi Susu compared to their boat, "A big guy that can be as big as our boat."

"How is it possible!" Hearing these words, Ji Wutian and the surrounding crew all stared wide-eyed.

Qi Susu continued to laugh, "How is that impossible? Not only are they big, but they can also lick water behind their backs, which is very interesting; there are also dolphins, whose intelligence is even comparable to that of humans, and they are very smart; there is also a fish called Ankang in the deep sea, which is extremely ugly. There is a small lantern above the head, which will glow in the dark deep sea, and the fish is also very delicious, but it is a pity that it is not easy to catch."

The more the crew members listened, the more dreamy they became. While doubting the authenticity, they couldn't help but be attracted by the magical creatures she mentioned, showing fascination.

If there is a chance, I really want to see it with my own eyes!
