MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 116 chicken-flavored fish
(Kneeling for a recommendation ticket!)
"Hey, you kid! Don't scratch your skin when you get lice!" The old man Oda couldn't be more angry.
"Why do I get lice when I wash my hair every day." Miyashita Otaro stopped and turned around and made a face at the old man Oda.
Even if you don't have lice, your head will definitely be itchy. Washing your scalp with salt water every day will cause problems. Generally, sailors rarely shower and wash their hair.
Don't say anything these days, shampoo is something that rich people use, these bitter haha are not so luxurious to buy and use.
This is the case with fishing boats in this era. After a few years of technological advancement, fishing boats have the luxury of taking a bath with fresh water. However, sailors rarely bathed at that time, after all, one wash was less fresh water.
"Hey, then I'll ignore you." The old man Oda turned his head and left.
Seeing this scene, Minamino Shuichi was amused for a while. He knew why the old man Oda was so enthusiastic. In fact, he was just a pain in the ass.
Now everyone is idle.
"Ha~ it's windy, it's going to rain!" Someone shouted.
Looking up at the sky, I don’t know when there are dark clouds above my head, it seems that the rain will come down at any time.
We often encounter weather like the days when we go out to sea for fishing. Anyway, it’s either rain or sun exposure! There are many rainy days at sea. Anyway, the fishermen feel as if they live in a tropical rain forest. Most of them work in raincoats anyway. The body basically either sweats or gets wet from the rain. It's usually just wet anyway.
These days are really hard! So many people are reluctant to do the sailor job. This job is definitely one of the top ten hardest jobs, and you have to stay up all night.
Many sailors have to do this job, and the brick-moving in later generations is not so hard compared to this. If you are tired from moving bricks, you can rest for a few days. But this must be done as long as there is a school of fish!
"It's raining, go in and hide."
It didn't take long for the rain to come down. It was pouring rain, but fortunately there was not much wind.
The rain comes and goes quickly. Sometimes it is normal for seven or eight rains a day.
The dark clouds disappeared, and the sky soon cleared up.
A rainbow appeared in the sky, very beautiful.
"Wow, rainbow!" Ami Inoue exclaimed as she stepped onto the deck and pointed to the semicircular rainbow.
"So beautiful~"
"Shouldn't it be romantic?" Minamino Shuichi smiled.
"Minano-kun, you really know how to talk." Inoue Ami blushed.
Only Shuichi Minamino and Ami Inoue can appreciate the rainbow. As for those sailors who just took a look and lost interest. They just don't have that vibe.
"It would be nice to see a rainbow every day." Ami Inoue prayed.
"There are rainbows every day, do you want to rain every day?" Minami Xiuyi smiled.
"I don't want to." Ami Inoue shook her head gently.
"Romantic doesn't need to happen all the time, it's the best thing to do it occasionally." Hideo Minano.
"It's true if you think about it carefully." Ami Inoue's eyes flashed, she felt that Shuichi Minano knew a woman's heart very well.
At this time, Minano Shuichi remembered the lyrics: You are naturally sensitive to sparks.
"Women really love romance." Minami Shuichi sighed inwardly.
"Hey, there's Mambo over there!" A sailor exclaimed, pointing not far away.
I saw that less than 20 meters from the fishing boat, a small group of more than ten Mambo fish were swimming lazily. They move slowly, and some lie on the water's side, or some have their dorsal fins out of the water.
"Heh~ These guys are really laid back!" Minami Shuichi was amused by the dozen or so fish.
Mambo fish, known by Minami Shuichi, is also called sunfish. It is a large oceanic fish with a maximum body length of 3.0-5.5m and a weight of about 1400-3500kg.
The reason why it is called the alias sunfish is because fishermen often see it lying on the water surface as if sunbathing and describe it with the name of "rollover".
When the mambo fish is lying on the water, it looks like a stone mill, which is very special. People who don't know it will not know it's a fish when they see it in the sea!
Some people also call it Moonlight Fish, because it emits a faint glow at night, so it is called "Moonlight Fish".
I saw these Mambo fish with sub-round bodies, flat and high sides. The tail is short and has no stalk. The head is high and flat. Body grey-brown on dorsal side, silver-grey on ventral side, grey-brown on all fins.
Generally speaking, it is a round guy, and it looks a little disgusting.
"Lean over and fish it up for today's dinner, haha..." A sailor laughed.
The sunfish, Hideyoshi Nanye, has seen it and said that this kind of fish is very common and not an economical fish. Because there are only a dozen of them at most. Such fish are only suitable for passing fishermen to eat.
"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten it yet, so I asked Kimura old man to lean over and grab a few!" Nanye Xiu waved his hand.
"Good boss."
When the fishing boats passed by, they used nets to fish. These sailors were all veterans, and they caught three or four fishes in less than half an hour.
But these sunfish were brought up with great effort by several people. One is estimated to be about 30 kg, one is 50 kg, and one is about 40 kg.
"Hey, there's a new dish tonight." Nanye Xiuyi swallowed.
On this day, Minano Shuichi was unlucky and did not catch any fish. But today he is in a good mood.
When eating at night, it's all a sunfish meal!
All three sunfish were killed, all made into various dishes.
Minano Shuichi secretly ate a few times before the dishes were even put on the table anyway. Although the sunfish looks a little ugly, it tastes really good!
Those intestines taste top-notch, who knows who eats it!
Yes, it is the intestines of the sunfish.
After eating this intestine, Minano Shuichi thinks that chicken intestines, pig intestines, lamb intestines, and goose intestines are all weak and bursting. This is the most delicious intestines!
There is not much meat in the sunfish, and it tastes like chicken.
"It's the first time I've eaten chicken-flavored fish. It's really weird." Minami Shuuichi was a little surprised.
Anyway, the most sought-after part of the evening meal is the fish intestines, which were eaten up soon after.
"Oops, I knew we had to catch a few more, and we don't have enough intestines to eat." A sailor shouted.
More than 20 people eat, of course it is not enough.
"Yes, next time we meet again, we must catch ten or eight to eat!" Minami Shuuichi also raised his hands in agreement.
"Why the flesh of these sunfish tastes like chicken, I really can't guess."
"Yeah, it tastes like chicken after eating fish. I really don't know what to say. Could it be that these fish and roosters were close relatives tens of thousands of years ago? Haha..."
