The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded

Chapter 43 Overnight Dried Fish

Knowing that the price is so cheap, Chu Mingcheng immediately began to pick out all the mackerel over 35 centimeters from his fish basket.

Ten catties is only 80 yuan, so I might as well save more, and make it into small dried fish to amuse my cat.

Pick out the big ones and sell the rest.

Then he brought out his own green spot, and the fishmongers' eyes lit up immediately.

It's just that their highest price is only 40 yuan a catty, obviously it's not worth selling to them.

In fact, this purchase price is normal. Fishmongers collect it from fishermen and have to sell it to shops.

The store then sells it to customers at the normal market price, which is 80 yuan per catty.

Chu Mingcheng originally wanted to ask the big money in the group if he wanted it, but a passer-by who watched the excitement wanted it, and bought it for 1,050 yuan, which was about 81 catties.

Calculated during the evening, he earned more than 1,200 points. Isn't this more comfortable than going to work?

Carrying his own fish to bid farewell to Zhao Jun with the fishing tackle, Chu Mingcheng squeezed out of the pier, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Wei.

"Where are you, where are you?"

"I'm on the pier, over the railing."

Chu Mingcheng looked around, only to find Zhang Wei who was still swinging his pole and not about to leave.

Looking at his catch in the past, he estimated that it was only half of what he caught, and they were all small fish.

"Still fishing, the fish has run out long ago, you still catch a der!"

"Isn't this waiting for you!" Zhang Wei looked at Chu Mingcheng's harvest and was a little surprised to see that all he was carrying in his hands were big fish, "The position you are looking for is so good, are they all big fish? "

"I use submersible minnows to catch the bottom, and the bigger mackerel are in the lower layer, so the ones caught are naturally big."

"I can't see, you know so much about fishing in just a few days!" Zhang Wei joked after hearing the words, then looked at the fishmonger not far away, and asked, "Aren't you going to sell it?"

Speaking of the price, Chu Mingcheng was a little speechless, this was the cheapest fish he had ever encountered.

"The small ones cost four yuan a catty, and the big ones only cost eight yuan. They sell for a P. Save the fat ones and eat them yourself. I plan to make the thinner ones into dried fish. You can eat them yourself or give them as snacks for cats."

"Haha, if it's cheap, it's cheap. Anyway, I had a great time fishing today."

Zhang Wei doesn't care about the price, and he doesn't make a living by fishing.

After comparing the fish he caught with the fish in Chu Mingcheng's hand, he showed a wicked smile.

"Acheng, you see the fish here are so small, the taste must not be good, your fish is so big, give me two to try?"

"Okay!"

Chu Mingcheng was willing to give away even herring and silver carp and bighead carp, but that was with a purpose. But Zhang Wei is his friend for many years, and there is nothing reluctant to part with a few mackerel.

If he was the one who asked for the herring, then Chu Mingcheng would never accept the money.

But true friends won't let him suffer, so Zhang Wei won't mention that kind of thing, it doesn't matter like this kind of cheap mackerel.

"Go and sell these fish first, it's worth some money anyway. After you sell them, I'll pick two fat ones for you."

"Okay." Zhang Wei nodded, and took the fish to sell first.

After a while, he came back cursing all the way.

"Damn, I thought it was a lot, but it turned out not even a hundred."

Chu Mingcheng held back his laughter: "How much did you sell?"

"Ninety-five seven yuan, that profiteer didn't even give me seven cents, and just wiped it off for me."

"Okay, go to my place first! Tell Chen Yang later, I will treat you to supper tonight."

"Hey, there's also supper, not bad."

The two drove back and returned home. Chu Mingcheng checked the weather forecast and learned that the weather was fine for the last two days, so he divided out the mackerel that needed to be dried, leaving only the nine fat ones. Put it in the refrigerator and freeze it, including the two pieces sent to Zhang Wei.

I also put some water on the ice by the way, so that when I have supper and take the fish with me, it will not stink if it is not iced.

Mackerel is a particularly perishable fish, so either eat it hastily or dry it.

"Awei, hurry up and help me kill the fish, I'm going to dry the fish tonight."

Zhang Wei has already sent a message to inform Chen Yang that the club is holding a mackerel to tease Xiaomi!

But Xiao Mi is very full tonight, and she loses interest after smelling the mackerel.

Hearing that Chu Mingcheng asked him to help, he didn't refuse, went to the kitchen, picked up the knife and started working.

The kitchen knives are quite complete, and Chu Mingcheng has already started to process the internal organs of the fish with a kitchen knife.

Instead of cutting through the belly, he cut through the back, cutting the mackerel in half without touching the belly, so that the fish remained a whole.

The guts and gills were removed, and then they were thrown into the basin to continue with the next one. Soon the two of them finished processing sixteen fish.

Chu Mingcheng washed the fish with clean water, and then wiped off the water as much as possible with kitchen paper.

He didn't plan to marinate the fish so salty, so he rubbed the fish with coarse salt and left it for three minutes.

Then I made a pot of salt water and poured a little white wine, which has the effect of sterilizing and removing fishy smell.

Baijiu was given by relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. His family doesn't drink much, so they just keep it at home.

Not only on the old house side, there are more white wine and red wine in the town.

Soak for half an hour, pick it up and dry it with kitchen paper again, then use a rope to jump up, take it to the balcony on the second floor to let the night sea breeze dry.

His drying method is called overnight drying of fish, which is different from the traditional method of drying fish in the sun, and the dried fish after drying is generally not very hard.

Mackerel needs to be dried for 16 hours. If you want to be softer, you need to dry it for a shorter time.

Chu Mingcheng didn't plan to dry it for too long. He deliberately soaked it in salt water so that he could add some seasonings and bake it in the oven, so that it would taste delicious.

After the kitchen was cleaned up, Chen Yang also drove there.

Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised when he saw him: "Ayang, why are you here?"

"Staying idle at home is idle, so why not come here to hang out. I heard from Ah Wei that you quit your job, why don't you come help me?" Chen Yang is not very handsome, with average looks.

But the height is about the same as him, the face is a little fat and looks tender, and the family has a little money, and the childhood has been very good.

Chu Mingcheng did not reply to this question, but smiled mysteriously: "Do you know how much money I have earned from fishing and catching the sea for half a month?"

"How much can you earn by fishing for the sea? I heard from Ah Wei that you made nine thousand by fishing crocodile gar, but it's just a coincidence!" Chen Yang couldn't imagine how much he could earn by fishing for the sea. He asked him to guess the income, and he immediately thought of it. Zhang Wei told him about fishing alligator gar.

"Except for the nine thousand of the alligator gar, guess again!"

"This..." Chen Yang rubbed his chin a little hesitantly. Judging from Chu Mingcheng's appearance, he should have earned a lot. To be conservative, he said a number that he thought was very high, "Five thousand?"

Zhang Wei sneered when he heard this: "Are you stupid or not? Ah Cheng has almost this number of sea worms every day. Not to mention fishing at night, I think it can be 8,000."

"There are so many 8,000?" Chen Yang was stunned, more than 8,000 in half a month, so it would be 16,000!

Even if the income is not stable, according to the trend, more than 10,000 a month is definitely not a problem. He can't afford such a high salary, and he suddenly stopped thinking about asking Chu Mingcheng to help him.

In fact, there is no shortage of people in his store, but he just thinks that everyone is a brother.

After Chu Mingcheng gets familiar with his products and accumulates some customers, he can actually separate out and do it alone, and he can give business here.
