Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 167
School of fish is not uncommon in the sea.

But except for fishermen who are brave enough to go to the open sea, ordinary people have no chance to see it.

The school of fish in the distance, just looking at the boiling sea surface, you know that there are a lot of them.

Although they didn't know why the fish school came towards the fleet on their own initiative, everyone's mood immediately became excited.

"Mr. Lang, our luck is really good. We encountered a school of fish just after we went out to sea. As long as we close the net when the school of fish passes by, we can have a good catch.

Although my luck may not be so good every day in the future, at least I don't have to go back in disgrace today. "

Ma Zhou was very relieved to see the school of fish approaching, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This school of fish looks so spectacular. If all of them can be caught, it will be enough for the people of Mingzhou City to eat for several days, right?"

Cheng Chumo was also dumbfounded looking at the increasingly clear school of fish.

"quack!"

These fish made a sound similar to ducks, and then kept approaching the fleet.

"Keep knocking on the bamboo rafts, don't stop!"

Seeing that many people were affected by the fish and stopped or slowed down the rhythm of beating the bamboo rafts, Qin Xiedao immediately roared.

"Could it be that the appearance of this school of fish has something to do with knocking bamboo rafts?"

Ma Zhou was still the smartest, and soon came up with a guess.

But this guess is too weird, and Ma Zhou himself is not willing to believe it.

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, these fish should be mainly large yellow croakers, which are most suitable for catching with this special method.

I also accidentally saw the record of this fishing method in an ancient book. I didn't expect to use it today, and it immediately received miraculous results. "

Qin Xiedao also breathed a sigh of relief.

This fishing method is useful, which means that the famine problem in Mingzhou has basically been solved.

It doesn't mean that not all of the [-] people in the state capital can't get rid of the pot.

Even if all of these people need disaster relief, distributing two catties of fish a day to each person will definitely ensure that everyone will not starve to death.

And this is only 60 catties of fish a day, which is [-] tons.

As long as the fleet goes to sea once, this task can be completed.

At that time, if more fleets are organized to go to sea, the harvest will definitely be more.

"This is really strange. If this method is effective, why wasn't it used in Qujiangchi?"

Ma Zhou continued to ask curiously.

"This has something to do with the structure of the fish. Only the sea fish of the Totoaba family are suitable for this kind of catching method.

If we fish like this in Qujiang Pond, apart from making the water splash all over the sky, no fish will take the initiative to come over. "

As for Ma Zhou, Qin Xiedao was still willing to give a good explanation.

With such a good opportunity, Qin Xiedao would definitely let Ma Zhou see how extraordinary he is.

A general who can't fish is not a good wit.

"Brother Qin, the school of fish is about to enter our fishing net area."

Cheng Chumo didn't need to remind everyone, everyone had already felt the charm of the school of fish.

In just a few breaths, the boat was submerged by the splashing fish.

Qin Xiedao didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the ships to start collecting the nets loudly.

After temporarily installing the pulley block, the speed of collecting the net is relatively fast.

Soon, everyone saw countless fish jumping in the fishing net.

Even some powerful sea fish jumped directly onto the deck.

"The body is elongated, the sides are flat, the head is blunt and pointed, the mouth is large, the caudal peduncle is long and thin, and the caudal fin is spear-shaped. Sir, compared with normal fish, this fish has a big mouth.

Moreover, its tail is also somewhat special, its back is yellow-brown, and its abdomen is golden-yellow. Using the big yellow croaker you mentioned to describe this fish is really more appropriate. "

Ma Zhou caught a fish with great interest and looked at it carefully.

As for the specific fishing matters, naturally he and Qin Xiedao don't need to worry about it.

The fish are already in the net, do you need to worry about them escaping?
Just wait for the return flight.

"Ma Zhou, if this large yellow croaker is fried first and then stewed, the browned skin will be slightly soaked in the soup, but it will not be able to cover up the unique aroma of the flesh.

After using it to cook the soup, the milky white soup has a hint of gold.

Then pick up a piece of meat and put it in your mouth. The taste is smooth, juicy, tender and delicate, and then poured with a few spoonfuls of delicious soup, it is absolutely delicious in the world. "

Qin Xiedao is a foodie.

It was rare to see a large yellow croaker weighing five or six catties, and Qin Xiedao immediately became interested.

And what he said directly attracted all the roundworms in Ma Zhou's stomach.

"Lang Jun, after hearing what you said, I feel hungry. When I went to sea tomorrow morning, I ate a lot."

Ma Zhou couldn't help swallowing, he was really tempted by the scene Qin Xiedao described.

There is still a clear gap between the cooking level of this era and that of later generations.

The cheapest thing is the technology of cooking, which has not yet been popularized.

Of course, this also has something to do with the lack of popularization of iron pots, and also has something to do with the fact that oil is more precious.

"If I'm hungry, I'll eat a few more catties of large yellow croaker today. It's summer now, or else I'll set up a whole stove. After cooking the large yellow croaker according to the method I just did, put it on the stove and cook it slowly.

Then drinking the famous Shaoxing rice wine here in the south of the Yangtze River is definitely a very good experience. "

While Qin Xiedao and Ma Zhou were talking, the fishing net was slowly lifted up.

Because there are too many large yellow croakers in the fishing nets.

The whole ship is tilting a little bit.

Fortunately, the sailors were very experienced. After the sides of the fishing net came out of the water, they stopped pulling it up.

Otherwise the boat may be capsized.

Soon, fishermen and sailors jumped into the fishing nets and started throwing fish one by one on the deck.

Of course, more people started to drop the bamboo baskets, and directly carried the large yellow croakers into the cabin.

These are good catches.

Even in a coastal state city like Mingzhou, it usually costs tens of pennies per catty to have the opportunity to enjoy it.

But now there are countless large yellow croakers. Everyone can notice that some fish jumped out of the fishing net around the fishing net.

But everyone is not in a hurry.

Being able to bring back these large yellow croakers in the fishing net is already an unprecedented harvest.

With such a large yellow croaker, if each household divides two, it can definitely solve the problem of food rations for one day.

When there is a famine in other places, it is already very good for the common people to eat some brown rice.

But the people of Mingzhou have the hope of eating the precious large yellow croaker.

Everyone's enthusiasm, don't mention how high it is.
