Chapter 89 Shark Fin
Shi Xia helped the research institute for more than half a month, and the fishing boat also went out to sea once. The biggest catch was a rotten piece of wood.

It's just rotten wood, not some thousand-year-old ebony.

They checked!
I feel embarrassed to take out the other small fish and shrimps.

To put it in a popular saying in the village: Even Dabai from the Shixia family doesn't look down on him!

This also proves once again the importance of Shi Xia.

On the fishing boat, Shi Xia was lying on her own exclusive lounge chair with a lovingly handmade parasol, and the sea turtle Lao Liu was lying next to her.

"You're really smart. You even know how to take the boat home."

The turtle Lao Liu moved to the side and hid his body in Shi Xia's shadow.

It’s so sunny!
"You have a shell, but you're afraid of the sun?"

"You said your shell will turn black if it's been exposed to the sun for a long time? How about we go back and do an experiment?"

Shi Xia was still talking when he saw the turtle Lao Liu covering his entire head with his two front "hands" - he didn't want to listen.

"Okay, okay, okay, you're disgusted with me..."

Shi Xia suddenly stood up and made a gesture.

The fishermen on the boat, who had cooperated many times, immediately took action and began to cast their nets in an orderly manner amidst the chaos.

"Hurry up!"

"Let's go!"

"The net is down!"

Shi Xia stood up and stood by the boat, sensing the supernatural power in the sea. A school of fish was about to come over.

Nowadays, no matter how delicious crabs are, they are not as valuable as fish with lots of meat.

Of course, fish isn't that valuable.

People’s first choice is always pork.

But is it better to have it than not to have it?

After the net was set, Shi Xia's supernatural powers were still active, waiting for the best time to close the net.

At this time, no one on the boat dared to speak.

In their opinion, Shi Xia was "communicating with the Goddess of the Sea" and his soul might have left his body.

What if I get scared and can't come back?

Although feudal superstitions are not allowed to be spoken, people still believe in them in their hearts.

"Close the net!"

With the sound of pulling in the net, the fishing boat that had been paused became active again.

The big gear started to shake, the thick rope started to swing, and the slogans started to shout.

"Exert force—pull—"

"come on!"

The net was pulled out of the sea little by little, and a fisherman nimbly jumped onto the palm-wide railing of the boat and hung a thick rope on the gear.

As the boat swayed, most people would be scared to death by his bold action. If they couldn't stand steadily, they would fall off.

OK!
The gears turn, the fishermen pull the ropes, and the heavy fishing nets filled with catch are pulled up.

The fishing net was stretched into a big ball. With a loud noise, as the fishing net was lowered, the fish jumped and struggled on the deck.

"Mackerel!"

"Look at this giant mackerel, it must weigh over thirty kilograms!"

The scientific name of Spanish mackerel is Spanish mackerel, with a spindle-shaped body and a general body length of 25-50 cm. The largest one can weigh more than nine kilograms.

Small round scales, lead blue back, with yellow-green luster when fresh, silvery white belly, and irregular dark spots distributed in the center of the body side.

The fishermen were sorting the mackerel, and Shi Xia also strolled over.

Because it is impossible for a fishing net to contain only mackerel, she likes the feeling of panning for gold in the net and the waves.

Small octopus, blue crab, big shrimp, scallops... and mantis shrimp.

Shi Xia picked out a basin of small seafood, cooked it directly on the boat, and ate it right after he caught it. It was so delicious.

This freshness is different from the live seafood bought in the seafood market. It is a kind of freshness that makes the taste buds chase with pleasure, and it is so tender that you want to eat the next bite after taking the first one.

On the fishing boat, mackerel was stewed in a large iron pot, with a few pieces of tofu they brought with them added. Pancakes made of three-grain flour were casually stuck on the edge of the pot, and the fishermen's lunch was ready.

Eat big mouthfuls of food, eat big mouthfuls of fish, the joy of harvest and the exhaustion of labor make everyone's appetite open. This meal tastes especially delicious!

"Tokika!"

Cao Ping, who was driving the boat, shouted, and Shi Xia went over with a half-eaten crab in his hand.

"look!"

Shi Xia looked in the direction Cao Ping pointed and saw thousands of seagulls flying low and coming back, eating something on the sea.

The fishing boat did not come close, and who knows what hidden dangers there might be.

However, Shi Xia's special ability discovered a clue, which was the shark's corpse.

Seagulls eat sharks?
This is a rare situation in the food chain.

Looking more closely, the sharks' fins were gone.

Is this shark finning?
Shark fins are mostly made from the filamentous cartilage of sharks, including the dried fins from the shark's chest, abdomen, tail, etc.

In modern times, sharks are protected, and many shark fins are actually made from farmed sharks or rays.

But whether in the past or now, there are people in China who eat shark fin, but they are not so partial to it. On the contrary, people in the southeast and neighboring areas have a crazy love for shark fin.

Shi Xia felt that these people had never eaten anything very good.

In ancient times, when people came to China to pay tribute, they probably saw the emperor or high officials eating shark fin, so they all thought shark fin was a supreme delicacy and made eating shark fin a symbol of nobility.

In fact, shark fin has no taste.

It mainly depends on the soup base. If you close your eyes, you can eat it as vermicelli.

Shi Xia did not retract his supernatural power, but instead extended it out, looking for something.

In today's China, not to mention eating fish, even fish cannot be sold, and no fisherman will go to the trouble of killing sharks for their fins.

So, there must be foreign ships nearby.

But this sea belongs to their China.

"Cao Ping, turn the rudder!"

As soon as Shi Xia gave an order, Cao Ping took action. This was the tacit understanding between the two of them that had been formed over the past few months.

"Brother Cao, have you ever fought with foreign ships?"

"Of course we have! Every one of our ancestors has fought."

Shi Xia smiled.

"That's good, tell everyone to get ready!"

Cao Ping understood instantly and tried hard to see a small black dot in front of him.

"Fuck! How dare you come to our sea!"

"Brothers, copy the guy!"

In a word, the fishermen stopped eating and stopped dividing the fish.

Sticks, clubs, shovels, big kitchen knives, whatever comes to hand is available.

At the same time, on a distant ship, Jin Kaiwen was urging.

"Hurry up, kill these and then we'll leave!"

"I always feel cold."

Jin Kaiwen recalled the last time he almost broke his hand while going home, and he didn't really want to experience it again.

The woman who dismantled their engine is simply a devil!
Fights among fishermen are common, but this is the first time he has seen someone dismantling someone else's engine!

If it weren't for chasing those sharks, he wouldn't really want to cross the border.

"Brother Jin, it's okay. The ocean is so big, we still meet each other every time!"

"Even if we encounter them, we are not afraid. We are armed!"

Jin Kaiwen agreed when he heard it, because they were equipped with guns this time.

No matter how powerful you are, you can still dodge bullets!
Thinking of this, Jin Kaiwen relaxed again and looked at the shark fins he had harvested, as if he saw money waving at him.

"Get some more, rich people want this stuff, get more!"

The shark hunting operation was in full swing, and Jin Kaiwen couldn't stop smiling.

"Brother Jin, there's a fishing boat coming! With the five-star red flag!"
