As soon as Mr. Xiao's words came out, the entire living room fell into a brief silence.
At this moment, what the three Xiao brothers least want to see is this result.
If the history of that scientific expedition team is really related to the Ouyang family, then they will be in really big trouble.
As the instigator, Xiao Si certainly didn't want this to be the result.
But the matter is too important, and he still has his own little thoughts at the moment.
He knew very well if this was confirmed.
Then his guilt will be even greater.
But now it is a matter of life and death for the family.
He no longer takes his own gains and losses as seriously as he did before.
If you give him another chance.
Even if he were to die, he would not touch the explosive barrel of Ouyang Yushan.
Even the thoughts towards Ye Yuan have become less serious because of the current family crisis.
"It's not impossible!"
Boss Xiao said after thinking deeply.
"Third brother, you still need to follow up on Mao Xiong's side, and don't give up on Huang Yuan Technology's side.
Even if you pay some price, try to get the authorization in their hands.
I'm going to see that person. Only if he comes forward now can we save the Xiao family. "
After Boss Xiao made this decision, he became a few years older.
Looking at the boss's desolate back, Mr. Xiao gave his worried brother a hard look, and then strode out.
Fourth Master Xiao was the only one left in the huge living room.
Seeing his two brothers leaving one after another, Fourth Master Xiao felt mixed emotions in his heart at the moment.
How many years have passed, when has the Xiao family faced such a severe crisis?
But this crisis was caused by him.
At this moment, he finally realized the feeling of being so passionate about the battlefield but unable to restrain himself.
Little did Ye Yuan know that some of his small actions would become the straw that broke the camel's back.
At this moment, he was standing on the deck listening to Ma Hua's nagging:
"Boss, you don't know..."
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t gone out on a boat for a long time.
Even Ma Hua has been nagging in his ears since he left Hong Kong.
Ye Yuan didn't feel bored at all.
"Boss, why are you going to Iceland this time?"
Ma Hua gnawed on a cucumber and kept asking questions.
"I said, you kid, don't you despise these cucumbers? Why are you eating them as soon as you go to sea?"
Yu Hongbo looked at Ma Hua and said amusedly.
He still remembered that just yesterday, this guy complained a lot because he brought too many vegetables.
"Isn't it okay for me to ask?"
Ma Hua stared at Yu Hongbo when he heard Yu Hongbo's teasing.
Ye Yuan smiled:
"Why don't you worry about going to Iceland? I guarantee that your bonus will not be less this time!"
"The boss is still in a bad mood, unlike some people."
Ma Hua grinned and said, not forgetting to glance at Yu Hongbo who was standing aside.
In response to Ma Hua's provocation, Yu Hongbo glared back angrily.
But when it came to his words, he still didn't say them in front of Ye Yuan.
He also wants to earn everyone a large bonus every time he goes overseas.
But is that what he wants?
Who said he didn't have Ye Yuan's ability to find fish?
You know, every time you go to sea, the materials consumed are astronomical figures.
Basically, no fishing boat will wait until it has caught enough fish before returning.
They all caught some rare fish, and when they turned around, they immediately returned to the voyage.
At most, it's just a few occasional nets on the way back.
It is precisely because of his cautious character that every time the White Dolphin catches fish, it just reaches the level of a small profit.
This has resulted in the crew not getting much bonus at all for more than half a year.
"Boss, let's take off the net? It's been a long time since you ordered us to take off the net!"
You Zhiyong saw a few people chatting here and came over to say.
Ye Yuan looked below the deck.
The sea was calm and there was nothing but endless sea water.
"Wait a little longer!"
Ye Yuan's words caused disappointment among many crew members.
Yu Hongbo felt funny in his heart and drank the remaining Coke in his hand.
After going to sea for more than half a year, he knew very well why Ye Yuan would not set off the net here.
However, he was happy to see these boys who usually messed around causing embarrassment in front of Ye Yuan.
I don't bother to explain to these people why the captain won't lower the net here.
The fishing boat is currently located at the edge of the continent.
It is very likely that he is traveling in a sea area such as the continental slope that is not suitable for fishing.
The continental margin is composed of the continental shelf, continental slope and continental rise.
Most of the continental shelf is close to the coast, with gentle waves and abundant sunshine.
This has also resulted in lush aquatic plants here and countless shellfish, swimming crabs, lobsters and other seafood.
The continental slope is the capital stage from the continental shelf to the proofing basin.
The terrain here is steep and the bottom is almost all bare rocks. It is difficult for seagrass to grow in this environment.
As a result, fish resources are also scarce.
It can be said that this sea area is almost the most barren sea area in the entire ocean.
If you want to trawl here, you probably won’t even be able to make back the gas money.
This is something even I know.
How could Ye Yuan not know?
Why would he choose to go offline here?
Following the name of the White Dolphin, the fishing boat soon sailed beyond the edge of the continent and reached the deep sea area.
Here, the coastline is completely invisible.
Yu Hongbo looked at the crew members standing together in groups, chatting or having fun, then walked up to Ye Yuan and asked:
"Captain, do we want to try taking off the net now?"
The crew resting on the deck all raised their ears and looked towards Ye Yuan after hearing this.
Ye Yuan looked towards the sea again.
Through the water surface and through sensory observation, Ye Yuan saw that there were gradually more fish caught in this sea area.
One of the fishes with a flat head, about the length of an arm, attracted Ye Yuan's attention.
"Ding Yi, slow down the speed of the fishing boat and we are preparing for trawling!"
Ye Yuan shouted into the intercom.
"receive!"
Ding Yi's voice came from the intercom.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing boat's sailing speed began to gradually decrease.
After hearing Ye Yuan's order, the crew members did not need his instructions and stood at their posts.
"net!"
Following Ye Yuan's order.
Pei Fei, who had been on standby for a long time, controlled the windlass, and a fishing net was thrown into the sea by the crew.
The fishing boat towed forward for an hour, during which the crew occasionally got together to chat and laugh.
But most of the time, he still stayed at his post and watched the situation on the sea.
Ye Yuan nodded to Yu Hongbo.
Yu Hongbo shouted to Pei Fei with understanding:
"Close the net."
Except for Pei Fei and Yang Jun, they were controlling the winch.
The rest of the people stood at the stern of the ship, preparing to deal with any emergencies.
As the winch rotates, the fishing net is slowly gathered.
The fish caught like water drops was finally dragged onto the deck.
As the bottom of the fishing net was untied by the crew, the marine cargo inside poured onto the board.
Fresh sea fish kept rolling on the deck.
Everyone on the deck was stunned for a moment, and then cheered excitedly.
The reason why I was stunned was because the fish was so close together.
Even if there are no scales on the body, there are still many cortical bumps on the edges of the body. They are very black and long. At first glance, they are comparable to toads in the paddy fields.
But it was the clear appearance of the fish that aroused everyone's excitement.
The crew of the White Dolphin at this moment are not rookies.
"Sea ghost fish? Hahaha!"
Ma Hua was dancing and happy.
The so-called sea ghost fish is actually called monkfish.
In different regions, there are also names such as old man fish, stuttering fish, ugly woman, toad fish, and Mr. fish.
It was still a high-end tribute during the Edo period of Japan.
In many coastal areas, there is a saying that "eat Ankang in the east and puffer fish in the west."
The sea ghost fish is an offshore bottom fish mainly distributed in the western North Pacific.
It is produced in the northern part of the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea in China.
There is an organ like a fishing line on the front of their body, and their fin spines can be used as limbs to anchor themselves to the seabed.
When other fish swim by, they attack with the "fishing rods" above their heads for it to eat.
The sea ghost fish is an offshore fish with underdeveloped motor organs and a bulky body. This fish often lives on the bottom of the sea and crawls against the bottom of the sea with its arm-like pectoral fins.
Therefore, the body of the sea ghost fish is relatively stubby and soft. Although it is not good-looking, it is delicious.
The mouth of the sea ghost fish is also very big, which is a bit scary, and the teeth are also very sharp. It is precisely because of this terrifying appearance that it has the nickname "sea ghost fish".
In this age where looks are valued, it seems that even fish need good looks.
"Boss, this fish tastes good. We caught a few last time and they tasted particularly good!"
Ma Hua stood up. Expressing his own opinions openly.
Ye Yuan was already familiar with this guy's basic skills.
Wang Husheng didn't know when he appeared on the deck, and he got angry when he saw Ma Hua yelling.
He stood up and retorted directly.
"You kid, why are you showing off in front of the boss? Is it possible that the boss has never eaten anglerfish? Don't forget that we breed it in our fishery."
Wang Husheng's words aroused laughter from everyone.
For this pair of happy enemies, of course everyone knows that this is their routine operation.
No one would think there was anything wrong with the two of them.
These two people are simply a pair of treasures on the ship.
If they were missing from the boat one day, it would really be a lot less fun.
"Nowadays, people are very careful about their tastes. Anyway, I would rather starve to death than eat this thing!"
Shi Xiaoming looked at the anglerfish still jumping around on the deck with disgust and said in a low voice.
Ever since Wu Hao left the fishing boat and prepared to work alone.
Shi Xiaoming became the only newcomer on the ship.
In order to reduce expenses, Yu Hongbo has no idea of adding more manpower to the fishing boats.
Coupled with Shi Xiaoming's introverted personality.
This also resulted in him having few friends.
Fortunately, there was Wu Hao, who was also a newcomer like him.
But now Wu Hao has left, leaving him without a companion to talk to on the boat.
Fortunately, this matter was discovered by Ma Hua, who would pester Shi Xiaoming to chat, intentionally or unintentionally.
After going back and forth, Ma Hua became the only person Shi Xiaoming could chat with.
This is also the reason why Shi Xiaoming would interrupt at this time.
If someone else had said these words, this guy wouldn't even interrupt.
Even if I hate this sea ghost fish so much, I will keep it in my heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and get to work!"
Yu Hongbo had just thrown a sea ghost fish into the water tank when he heard these boys making trouble.
So he urged everyone angrily.
Seeing the crew members arguing with each other, Ye Yuan just smiled and said nothing.
Although the sea ghost fish looks ugly, the meat is actually very delicious.
And its nutritional value is self-evident.
Another characteristic of all anglerfish is that its meat has a very low fat content.
This also results in their calories being very low.
It also contains vitamins A, D, E and other elements.
It is a very healthy food.
In 100g of fish, there are only 87 calories.
And the fat is only 0.8g.
This is definitely the perfect food for those foodies who want to lose weight but can’t control their mouths at the same time.
In addition to the natural superiority of being delicious and less likely to cause obesity, the fish meat of sea ghost fish also has antioxidant effects.
The rich colloid contained in its body is very beneficial to women.
It is also a precious raw material for beauty care.
Thanks to the efforts of the crew, the deck was quickly cleared.
The fishing nets were sorted again.
Looking at the time, there is still some distance before lunch.
Ye Yuan then called Gong Hongzhuang and took a few fish back from the sea ghost fish, planning to eat them at noon.
As for Shi Xiaoming's disgusted expression, he ignored it magnificently.
I do not want to eat? Didn’t you bring the vegetables and other ingredients?
You won't be the only one who doesn't eat, and it will affect everyone else's eating.
Top-notch ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
The method of making sea ghost fish is actually very simple.
Gong Hongzhuang made a pot of fish soup with two sea ghost fish respectively.
Then wash the remaining sea ghost fish, take out the inner tent, cut it into pieces and throw it into a pot to boil.
Then add the experiment, drain all the cooking wine, and take it out again for later use.
When it comes to cooking, Gong Hongzhuang is a professional.
Even though there were many crew members who had nothing to do around him, he still followed his own pace unhurriedly.
He simply ignored the people chatting around him.
Put oil in the pot, add plantains and ginger slices, stir-fry until fragrant.
Then pour in the fish pieces you prepared earlier and stir-fry together.
After a while, the overpowering fragrance became overwhelming.
Floating all over the kitchen.
The sound of everyone swallowing came and went.
Even Shi Xiaoming, who had previously said he would not eat this food until he starved to death, couldn't help but swallow.
Ma Hua took a deep breath of the smell and walked over in an awkward manner:
"Fat brother! Do you want my help to defeat him?"
"Get out! Get out! Get out of here!"
Gong Hongzhuang couldn't help but drive away Ma Hua, who was about to come over to help.
Then he slowly poured the fried sea ghost fish into the casserole, added boiling water, and added all the seasonings prepared before to the casserole.
"Okay. You can eat it in a while."
Gong Hongzhuang looked at Ye Yuan with a smile.
"how long will it take?"
Ye Yuan asked curiously.
"Bake it for half an hour and it's ready to eat."
Ye Yuan nodded.
A delicious sea ghost fish feast, everyone who ate it didn't want to move.
Even Shi Xiaoming, who had put down his harsh words and refused to eat the sea ghost fish until he died of hunger, was lying in the shade in a corner of the deck with his hands on his stomach, wondering what he was thinking about. (End of chapter)
