Chapter 556: One of the Ten Most Poisonous
The boatmen, who had thought that the first two nets were worth a lot of money, became completely shocked after seeing the fish caught in the third net.

At this time, Chen Yishui was driving the boat, and Wu Mengyue was outside.

"This is a fighting pomfret!" Wu Mengyue exclaimed, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the fish, and their expressions of joy were beyond words.

As the "fighter" among pomfret, fighting pomfret is not only synonymous with deliciousness but also has a very good price.

Douchang fish is also called eagle pomfret. It looks a bit similar to white pomfret, but its price is three or four times higher. It can be called the Hermes of fish.

Scarcity makes things valuable. There are few fighting pomfret and it is difficult to breed them.

The growth rate of meat pomfret is very slow, it only grows half a kilogram in half a year, which is far less than that of white pomfret or golden pomfret.

The Douchang fish is relatively large in size, with thick meat, soft and crispy bones, and tender meat.

It is extremely suitable for consumption by the elderly and children and has a very high nutritional value.

Because of its high nutritional value, it has become a delicacy that often appears on people’s tables, especially during festivals.

However, one thing is that Douchang fish should not be consumed with tea.

Because the tannins in tea can affect the digestion and absorption of protein.

Steaming bean pomfret is the best cooking method, which can fully present the deliciousness of bean pomfret.

Han Xiaorui didn't wait for others to react and picked up two pieces to take to the kitchen.

Liang Xiaoyu was quick to stop Han Xiaorui and said, "My big boss, can we put it down first?"

"Everyone knows that pomfret is delicious, but look at these, there are a few that are in bad condition. Let's eat those!"

"We don't care about these things when we eat among ourselves. If a person's appearance is bad, it won't affect the taste at all, but it will greatly affect the price in the restaurant."

"However you eat at home is your freedom! But on the ship, the minority obeys the majority, and you, the boss, have to listen to us."

Han Xiaorui actually didn't care about these things, but the boatmen were used to saving money.

This is their virtue.

They are very simple and rely on strength and luck, so every fish is a gift from the sea and is the same in their eyes.

But it’s different when you get to the shore, every fish has a price.

Those with poor appearance have low prices, so if you are going to eat them yourself, of course you will give priority to those with poor appearance.

Wu Mengyue also quickly said: "This is the rule on our ship. Even if you are the ship owner, Xiaorui, you should respect us."

Han Xiaorui shook her head and laughed, "Since you are all protecting the interests of the entire ship, of course I, as the ship owner, am happy!"

"Just don't think I'm being stingy by feeding you fish of poor quality all day long!"

Wu Mengyue laughed, "Xiao Rui, don't think too much! Even if this pomfret is of poor quality, it can be sold at a very high price on the shore."

"We are very grateful that you can let us eat such good fish. Why would we be picky if it is not good in appearance?"

The boatmen would not bother with such nonsense. What is real is to have more money in their pockets and to eat delicious seafood.

Although everyone was talking while sorting the fish, it did not affect the speed at all.

Good fish can inspire everyone's energy, and sorting these fish doesn't seem tiring at all.

If it is a sea fish that was not valuable in the past, people would not be interested in sorting it out.

The daytime passed quickly.

Before dinner, another net was cast, this time with a mixed bag of bluefin bream, blue grouper, pomfret, lobster, and crab.

Among so many seafoods, the fish is quite conspicuous, and at first glance, it looks like a stone.

Wu Mengyue quickly reminded, "Everyone be careful, this is a stonefish!"

Stonefish is a fish of the genus Scorpionfish in the family Scorpionfish of the order Scorpioniformes. Its scientific name is brown scorpionfish, also known as stone dogfish.

The stonefish has protruding eyes and jaws, and an uneven dorsal fin, making it look like an uneven stone and extremely ugly in appearance.

It moves slowly, and has hard, extremely poisonous spines on its dorsal fin. It is listed as one of the "Top Ten Poisonous Fish in the World", so it is also called the poisonous fish.

"The dorsal fin is poisonous, so be careful not to touch it. Wear two layers of gloves and use special tools, not your hands." Han Xiaorui also reminded, "Turn on all the headlights."

After hearing the reminders from Wu Mengyue and Han Xiaorui, everyone was afraid to act rashly. They all put on another layer of gloves and began to use tools to slowly sort them out, put them in baskets, and put them away separately.

Liang Xiaoyu sighed, "Stonefish is the most poisonous fish we know of. Although it is ugly, it is a famous fish treasure since ancient times. It has tender meat and no small bones. It has high nutritional value. It has the medicinal effect of promoting body fluid and moistening the lungs, and it also improves skin quality."

Han Xiaorui was surprised. "Oh, I haven't been out to sea in the past few years. Sister Xiaoyu, you have put in a lot of effort!"

Liang Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by Han Xiaorui's praise. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Of course, I bought a lot of books and learned from them. If you keep learning until you are old, you won't be prone to Alzheimer's disease."

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Yes, look at those who do scientific research, some of them are in their eighties or nineties and can still keep their brains clear, they must use their brains a lot. But it's always good to learn more, for example, this stone fish, people who don't know it can be poisoned if they are not careful."

The fish in this net are quite mixed, including some extremely poisonous fish like stonefish, so the sorting speed is slower.

By the time everything was done, it was completely dark.

Liu Huamei is very experienced. When she saw that the fish in this net were very mixed, she knew that it would take a long time to sort them, so she postponed the cooking time by half an hour.

By the time the meal is ready, the food here will have been sorted cleanly.

"Let's eat first. After we're done, we can clean the deck." Han Xiaorui was hungry, and the boatman must have been very hungry too. There was really no need to work on an empty stomach.

When everyone heard this, they washed their hands and ate.

Although there is a fishy smell on the coat, they are used to it and it does not affect their appetite at all.

What's more, Liu Huamei's cooking skills are better now. She can make the food taste good and increase people's appetite.

Only by eating well can you have the strength to work.

Boatman's job is hard work, and if they eat little, they simply don't have the energy to complete the work.

Sister Tang, the oldest person here, can only work for another four or five years at most and then she can’t continue.

The physical strength cannot keep up, and it will have a great impact on the body.

After dinner, everyone took a short break and then started cleaning.

After cleaning up, I sat down to rest and drank the brown sugar ginger tea prepared by Liu Huamei.

Sweet and warm.

Take breaks in batches to maintain sleep and strength.

Han Xiaorui wanted to go back early, so she had to set up a net at the night club.

The direction was specified by Han Xiaorui, and it is guaranteed that there will be fish.

By doing this, the position can be liquidated earlier, but the intensity will remain the same.

Everyone saw Han Xiaorui turning around, and Sister Tang couldn't help asking, "Shipowner, are you starting to miss your children now?"
