Chapter 204 203 Harvest

The biggest feeling of seasickness is dizziness, and the biggest symptom is vomiting.

The smell of vomit was overwhelming and the cab space was small. Tang Zhitong was very conscious and opened the door and ran outside to vomit.

Holding the side of the boat tightly with both hands, he lay on the boat, stretched his head out, and vomited outside the boat.

"You kid, why are you still seasick?" Niu Jizeng saw Tang Zhitong stumbling out when he opened the door. He thought something was wrong, but when he came out he realized he was seasick.

"Uncle Niu, it's okay, I'll just vomit a few times and it'll be fine." Tang Zhitong leaned crookedly on the side of the boat, his stomach churning.

"It won't get better in a while. Just hold on tight and wait here. I'll get you something." Niu Jizeng's feet seemed to be rooted in the boat, tilting in the opposite direction as the boat rocked. When he walked, it was as if he was walking on flat ground. No sign of falling down.

After a while, Niu Jizeng came back, holding a bundle of hemp rope in his left hand and a handful of silk-like things in his right hand.

"Come on, let me take this first." Niu Jizeng was afraid that Tang Zhitong would fall into the sea, so he stuffed the things in his right hand into Tang Zhitong's pocket, tied one end of the hemp rope around Tang Zhitong's waist, and tied the other end to the mast.

"Thank you, Uncle Niu. What did you stuff for me?" With the safety rope, Tang Zhitong released one of his hands and reached into his pocket with the other hand.

"I cut a piece of ginger for you and put it on your belly button for a while. Those bits and pieces are cuttlefish shreds. Chew them slowly and eat them. These two things will cure seasickness." Niu Jizeng stood on the side of the boat and shook it, like a tumbler.

"Okay... vomit... vomit..." Tang Zhitong was about to bend his body and take out the ginger slices, but suddenly he got the energy and lay down on the edge of the boat and vomited again.

"I'll get you a stool. Just sit on the stool and don't move. Try to look far away. This will be better." Niu Jizeng looked at Tang Zhitong's appearance and said with dismay.

"Thank you~ vomit..." Tang Zhitong didn't even have a chance to look back and vomited three times in a row.

Tang Zhitong followed Niu Jizeng's instructions, moved to the stool and sat down, put a piece of ginger on his navel, chewed shredded cuttlefish, and looked into the distance.

Even though he was seasick and uncomfortable, Tang Zhitong still didn't forget his original intention and insisted on using the space to harvest the catch below. This opportunity was too rare. If he didn't harvest enough, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

Tang Zhitong could feel the catch below, and the generosity of Mother Sea exceeded his imagination.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Zhitong finally understood the reason for Niu Jizeng's proud look when talking about the boat last night.

There are many catches. Since there are few boats now, there is no problem of over-fishing. You can catch fish wherever you set the net. You can’t catch them all. You can’t catch them all.

Niu Jizeng's folk remedy slowly took effect, and the intervals between Tang Zhitong's vomiting became longer and longer. However, he just listened to the sound of the fishermen lowering the nets at the stern of the boat and did not dare to look back for fear of vomiting again.

Due to the structure and power of the sailboat, it could not shoulder the task of going deep into the sea. Niu Jizeng obviously knew this. When he sailed to a certain sea area, he lowered the sail and started cooking.

"Brother Tang, are you seasick?" After setting the net, Niu Shouhai came to Tang Zhitong's side and saw that Tang Zhitong was tied with a hemp rope and sat motionless on the side of the boat. What else could he not understand?

"Much better. Come on, I'll give you five or six halves." Tang Zhitong could hear Niu Shouhai's smile. He was probably holding back his laughter. He stretched out his arms and let Niu Shouhai take away the five or six halves. "Hahaha, it was like this the first time I went to sea. After a few more times, I stopped vomiting." Niu Shouhai got five or six half, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.

Tang Zhitong ignored Niu Shouhai. He had vomited so many times and didn't have much energy left in his body, which he reserved for harvesting the catch. He let him aim at the seabirds and shoot them.

After lowering the sail, the ship stopped moving much, but the fish on the bottom of the sea did not stop swimming. They passed by this place one after another, and Tang Zhitong collected all the seafood within a radius of 60 meters.

Tang Zhitong looked at his watch. It was not ten o'clock yet, so he rejected Niu Jizeng's invitation to have lunch. He had no appetite at all and decided to sit back on the shore.

"What a gun!" Niu Shouhai emptied the magazine, and then reluctantly hung the 56 half back on Tang Zhitong.

"Brother Niu, let's go eat quickly. It seems we are about to return home after eating." The sea was rough and the waves were rough, and the call was basically made by shouting. Tang Zhitong could hear it without turning specially.

"Okay, I told your sister-in-law this morning to dig some yellow clams, and I will make something different for you when we dock today." Niu Shouhai didn't waste any time. He patted Tang Zhitong on the shoulder and went back to the house to eat. He knew what seasickness felt like. , and didn't even say anything to persuade Tang Zhitong to eat.

Tang Zhitong was happy to be quiet and took the time to collect the fish.

I took it all away when I came here, and I took it all away when I went back.

Due to power problems, today's non-mechanically powered fishing boats do not use trawl nets, but use drift-net operations of "casting the net widely" on the way forward and lifting the net on the return trip.

Tang Zhitong was sitting on the side of the boat. When he felt that the fishing net was catching a lot of fish, he let it go. While listening to the fishermen shouting slogans to pull the net, he harvested the fish and shrimp that had slipped through the net. When he felt that the catch was not much, he generously stuffed it into the fishing net from the space. Some catches.

After this trip, the fishing boat of the production team achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest. The fishermen shouted and swung their oars and rushed to the coast. Tang Zhitong also harvested a lot, and the harvest was much more than that of the production team...

Due to the large catch, the sailboat arrived later than usual today. The strong laborers in the production team were waiting eagerly at the dock. As soon as the sailboat docked, someone jumped on board with a basket to sort the catch. Baskets are carried ashore, and then a dedicated person pushes a trolley to transport the catch to the fishing company.

Tang Zhitong came ashore earlier than catching the fish and sat down on the shore. He felt more at ease than ever before. It was better to be on the shore!

Looking at the busy situation in front of him, Tang Zhitong finally knew where the fishy smell on Niu Jizeng's body came from yesterday. At this moment, Tang Zhitong hoped that this dull and fulfilling day could last longer...

After sorting the catch, Niu Shouhai went ashore and led Tang Zhitong home.

Niu Shouhai didn't lie. His wife and her children dug up a pot full of yellow clams and prepared to make an Anton specialty dish for Tang Zhitong.

The yellow clam, whose scientific name is Qingliu Clam, is a unique seafood that is only produced in the shallow waters of the Yellow Sea. The Dandong yellow clam is the largest and has the richest meat.

Anton people call our common clams "black clams". Compared with black clams, yellow clams have plump, crispy and tender meat, and the juice is very rich. The taste and freshness of yellow clams are completely on the same level as clams.

The cooking method of yellow clams is very simple. Boil it in water without adding salt. It is called "original yellow clams". The texture is crisp, tender and somewhat tough. The juice flows horizontally and the fragrance is overflowing. Even the slightly yellow soup , so rare that Tang Zhitong couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.
