Chapter 378 The Last Fishing

Just then, Ma Xingteng came over after finishing his sales.

Shen Yi quickly pulled him to the villa.

Ma Xingteng jumped three feet high in fright, "Wow! Brother Shen, you're something else! How much for all these big guys?"

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking that Ma Xingteng would be scared, but he didn't expect that this guy was so focused on money that he wasn't scared at all.

He took Ma Xingteng to the kitchen.

Sutai is defrosting a bluefin tuna.

Su Chuan, Su Zhan, Shen Dagou, and the others surrounded the fish, watching Su Tai's actions intently.

Clearly, Su Tai didn't have the ability to deal with the huge creature in front of her, so she had to give instructions and Shen Yi would do the actual work.

Using a sharp knife, begin cutting from the fish's belly, carefully making a cut along the midline without damaging the internal organs.

Once the fish is cut open, carefully remove the internal organs, making sure all the internal organs are cleaned, and then rinse the inside of the fish thoroughly with clean water to ensure that there are no remaining internal organs or blood.

Next, you can cut the fish meat into appropriate sizes. If you need to remove the skin, you can carefully peel it off with a knife.

The prepared fish can be eaten raw or frozen.

The texture of the flesh varies depending on the part of the bluefin tuna.

The belly is rich in fat, melts in your mouth, and has a smooth and mellow taste that is incredibly satisfying; the middle belly has a moderate amount of fat, which has both the sweetness and smoothness of fat and the slight acidity of fish; the lean meat has the least amount of fat, with a firm and chewy texture, and the unique light and slightly acidic taste of tuna is most prominent.

Shen Yi and Ma Xingteng tried different parts of the sashimi and couldn't stop nodding in approval.

Ma Xingteng exclaimed with admiration, "My goodness! Is this really raw fish? Not only does it not taste fishy at all, but the texture is also so smooth and tender. It feels like fruit but not quite. I can't even describe the texture. It's wonderful!"

"Brother Shen, could you pack some for me? I'll take some out for everyone to try later."

Shen Yi looked at Su Tai, "Xiao Tai, this fish is too big. Can we freeze it and take it away like this?"

"Of course, that would also make transportation easier, but I don't know who can do this job."

Su Tai looked around.

Su Zhan, Su Ming, Shen Dagou, and the others all agreed.

They've all been on the battlefield; they kill without batting an eye. Killing a fish is nothing to them!
Su Tai smiled, "It would be great if you could help, but there's one thing I must remind everyone: raw fish slices are eaten raw without cooking, so hygiene is very important. Luckily, it's freezing cold right now, so we don't have to worry about getting sick from eating something bad."

But you still need to be careful when handling it, and make sure it's completely clean. You can boil the water and let it cool before using it.

"That's easy. We'll set up a shed in the yard, put a few pots on it, and find some women to help with the fire. We'll be in charge of processing the big fish. By the way, how do we store the fish meat after it's been cut?"

Song Yongnian only realized the key issue halfway through his speech.

Su Tai pondered for a moment and said, "First, scald a few clean basins. I'll think of something."

After saying that, she ran away.

Shen Yi knew where she had gone, so he quickly told everyone to get back to work and try to distract them.

After entering the portal, Su Tai went directly to the Earth Dimension.

In the Earth Dimension, there is a banana grove that she planted.

Pick a bunch of banana leaves, wash and disinfect them, then use them to wrap the sashimi. Put the frozen sashimi wrapped in banana leaves into an oil paper bag, seal it with glue, and that's about it.

This was the best storage method she could think of.

Everyone was busy with their work, and no one had time to question Su Tai as she carried out a pile of banana leaves. There was so much work to do; they needed to find some more people.

Having gained experience, Zhang Laifu volunteered to return to the village and called some hardworking and honest women to help.

These people were quite thorough in cleaning the banana leaves.

Because Su Tai instructed them not to damage the leaves, they were extremely careful while working.

The banana leaves had just been disinfected when Song Yongnian and his team processed two or three bluefin tuna.

The fish is packaged and frozen according to different parts of the fish.

Another group of people carried out the final sealing with oil paper.

Thirty or forty people worked together in the villa.

We worked until dark and finally finished a batch of goods.

Before Shen Yi could make any arrangements, Ma Xingteng had already abducted them.

They loaded over fifty trucks and sped away incredibly fast.

Su Zhan was so angry he laughed. "I'm not chasing him, it's like if I'm a step behind, the thing isn't his!"

After saying that, he looked back at the dozens of tuna that hadn't been processed yet, and felt a headache coming on. "Brother-in-law, to be honest, I feel like I've killed all the fish I'll ever kill in my life today. I really never want to kill fish again!"

"This is nothing! Don't worry, we still have stock for the next couple of days!"

Shen Yi's words completely broke everyone's defenses.

Su Chuan shook his head repeatedly, "This won't do, it will delay important matters! We need to find another seventy or eighty people to help tomorrow."

Shen Dagou and the others nodded frantically, afraid that Shen Yi would not agree, and they tried to persuade him one after another.

Shen Yi found Fang Wei's words amusing. Seeing that Fang Wei hadn't left yet, he simply called him over and asked him to find all the diligent tenant farmers to come and work tomorrow.

Shen Zhuang and Shen Mu planned to bring some people from the village over as well.

Su Chuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

As soon as they left, Su Tai sent Shen Yi back as well, leaving him to stay in the villa to keep watch. She needed to seize the time to catch fish and couldn't waste those two hundred thousand virtual coins.

If Su Chuan and the others knew what she was thinking, they would definitely kneel down before her.

That night, Su Tai operated the same way as the night before. The difference was that she discovered another feature of the deep-sea fishing vessel: it could not only operate in the deep sea, but also in the shallow sea. All she had to do was switch modes. No wonder the rental fee was twice as high!
Having figured out the key to it, Su Tai once again set her sights on yellow croaker, red snapper, pomfret, and eels from the brackish waters.

Eels are known as "soft gold in the water" and "ginseng in the water," and have been regarded as a nourishing and beautifying delicacy in many places since ancient times.

It is rich in various nutrients and has the effects of nourishing blood, removing dampness, and fighting tuberculosis. It is a good nutritional product for patients with chronic illness, weakness, anemia, tuberculosis, etc.

Eels contain a rare protein called Westlake protein, which is believed to have excellent effects on strengthening the kidneys and improving sexual function, making it a health food for young couples and middle-aged and elderly people. Eels are also rich in calcium; regular consumption can increase blood calcium levels and improve overall health.

The Qing dynasty poet Yang Miren wrote in his "Bamboo Branch Poems of the Capital": "I live in the misty waters of Jiangnan, where fish, shrimp, clams, and crabs abound. Those who come from the north to taste the delicacies will find a piece of eel worth a piece of gold."

The Xinning County Gazetteer from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty also records that "(eel) meat is as smooth as fat, and also like dragon's blood; it can be cooked in any way and tastes the best."

This shows how highly regarded eels are.

Su Tai caught five or six thousand catties of eels in this one net, which is enough to make her money!
With only two hours until dawn, she changed direction again and aimed at the bluefin tuna once more.

We need to make up for the gaps that Ma Xingteng took away yesterday.
