space fisherman

Chapter 451
Ye Yuan is taking advantage of the rest time of the crew members to explain to them some steps of making dried sea cucumbers.

Looking at the crew members who showed surprised expressions after hearing his explanation, Ye Yuan smiled and continued:
"Do you think this is the end of the matter? Then you think it is simple. This is just the beginning.

The cleaned sea cucumbers also need to be boiled in light salt water injected with Baume degrees.After heating and boiling, add a little cold water to reduce the temperature to about 85°C.

Cook until it is easy to insert bamboo chopsticks into the meat, which is moderate.

During the cooking process, if a sea cucumber with a swollen abdomen is found, it needs to be pierced into the abdominal cavity with a needle, and after the water is drained, continue to heat. If there is foam floating out, remove it at any time.

The boiled sea cucumbers need to be dried by professional low-temperature cold air drying equipment. "

After Ye Yuan finished speaking, looking at the astonished Ma Hua, Ye Yuan explained a few more words:

"Now you know how to dry sea cucumbers? We don't have the conditions to make dried sea cucumbers on board.

The reason why I keep them in the living water area is because the live sea cucumbers will vomit their intestines after leaving the sea water, and then slowly shrink, and the nutrients will be lost.

Put them in the living water area, just to prevent them from dying so quickly. "

After hearing Ye Yuan's explanation, the crew members became nervous, it was a treasure worth several thousand dollars a catty, if something really happened, these guys would be determined to die.

"Boss, dead, dead."

Ma Hua pointed at the running water area and shouted.

Ye Yuanming knew that this guy should be talking about sea cucumbers, but hearing these words, no matter how uncomfortable he heard:
"Your whole family is dead, how can you talk?"

Ye Yuan also just said a word to this guy, and then quickly came to the living water area, after all, these sea cucumbers are very valuable, Ye Yuan would feel distressed if he were to die.

Ye Yuan came to the side of the running water area, and saw some sea cucumbers, they didn't move at all, they looked very stiff.

Seeing this kind of result, Ye Yuan's heart was relieved. Looking at the crew members with tense expressions all around him, he said with a smile:

"It's okay, it's not dead, they are dormant, and sea cucumbers usually choose to dormant in summer when food is abundant.

The reason why summer is chosen is that sea cucumbers live by preying on small organisms on weekdays, and these small organisms are very sensitive to seawater temperature. When the sea surface is warm, they go upstream, and when the water is cold, they dive back to the bottom of the sea.

Since the sea surface is warm after summer, small creatures living in the sea go to the upper waters for annual breeding, and the sea cucumbers living on the bottom of the sea are unable to follow.

Due to the interruption of food, I had to hide under the stone to rest and maintain.

Generally, they will sleep for three or four months. During this period, they will not eat or move, and their whole bodies will harden. They will not wake up until after autumn to resume activities. "

After hearing his explanation, several crew members looked at each other in blank dismay.

I have heard of hibernation, and this is the first time I have heard of animals that hibernate.This time I really learned a lot, the world is so big, and there are so many wonders.

In fact, these crew members still don't know sea cucumbers, even Ye Yuan doesn't know that sea cucumbers have a more magical place.

That is, if a sea cucumber is cut into two sections and placed in the sea, after half a year to a year, the two sections of sea cucumber will grow into two complete individual sea cucumbers respectively.

This is a special ability that no other animal has.

Today's dinner is later than usual. There is no way that the chef, Fatty, has gone to sea.

When all the crew are resting on the deck, Gong Hongzhuang, the chef, is also in charge of everyone's dinner.

Although it was said that the meal was late, none of them complained. They all knew that when they were resting, the fat man was still working overtime without rest.

After dinner, the crew returned to the rest area early. The crew were exhausted after a day of high-intensity work.

Some people fell asleep on the bed after returning home.

However, energetic people like Wang Husheng and Ma Hua gathered together in twos and threes to relax by playing poker.

At this moment, Ye Yuan is sitting on the reclining chair at the bow, looking at the sea at night, with the sea breeze blowing.

He is different from the crew, who can be happy for a long time as long as they catch the cherished fish.

And his boss, not only has to consider the preservation of these sea cucumbers, but also how to sell these sea cucumbers as quickly as possible.

Although it is said that sea cucumbers will be stored for a longer period of time if they are placed in living water areas, it is only a little longer after all.Instead of always having no problems.

So he is now considering whether to just turn around and go back, or continue fishing at sea.

If fishing continues, there is a risk that sea cucumbers will die in large numbers.

But when he went back like this, he felt a little unwilling. After all, he had only been out for a few days, and there was no fish on board except for these sea cucumbers.

Returning in this way is somewhat unpleasant. Although this time I did not go too far out to sea, I entered the South China Sea after crossing the East China Sea from the Yellow Sea.

To put it bluntly, Yuwan Island is much closer to the Waguo Sea than to the South China Sea.

Coming to the cockpit, Ding Yi was seriously driving the fishing boat.

Clicking on the chart on the LCD screen, Ye Yuan was thinking seriously, while Ding Yi remained silent, as if there was no such person as Ye Yuan here at all.

Fiddled with the sea chart in front of him, and found that if he wanted to get closer to the shore, the two most suitable cities were Shasan City in the south-central South China Sea, and Kouhai City on Nanhai Island.

Ye Yuan has only heard of these two cities, but he really doesn't know the specific situation.

Looking at the time, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening. The elder sister should not go to bed so early, so he took out his mobile phone and called his elder sister.

The reason why I called my elder sister at this time is because almost all the sales channels of my own seafood are in the hands of my elder sister.

He wanted to know about the seafood situation in these two cities, and also consulted to see if the old lady had any sales channels in this area.

The call was quickly connected, and as soon as it was connected, the old lady's concerned voice came from the other side:
"Xiaoyuan, what's the matter? Shouldn't you be at sea? Why did you call me? Could it be that something happened to you?"

It's no wonder that Ye Hui is so nervous, although Ye Yuan's industry has developed very rapidly in the past year or so.

But the shocks brought to the family are also endless. First, the plane crash almost broke the family apart.

Then there was another loss of contact at sea, now not only Ye Hui, but even her parents would feel a conditioned reflex when they received a call from Ye Yuan at sea.

"I'm fine, I just want to ask if you have seafood sales channels in Kouhai City and Shasan City?"

Ye Yuan's family knew about his family affairs, so he immediately explained.

"Are you liquidated? Otherwise, you wouldn't ask me for the channel over there?"
