Chapter 305: Methods for Processing Fish Maw
Fu Wan has always been a man of action, and for fishermen, going out to sea is a matter of minutes.
But this must be under the condition that there is no problem with the ship.
But putting the idea of going out to sea aside for the time being, Fu Wan suddenly remembered that she had something else to ask Fu San.
"Uncle San, what should I do with the yellow croaker maw? Have you asked for me?"
Fu San always felt that he had forgotten something, but when he heard Fu Wan's words, he immediately remembered.
"Oh, my memory just isn't good at this age!"
He smiled and took out another bag from his arms. The bag was the same as those of other old men in the village. They were transparent bags used after eating biscuits at home.
In addition to the small amount of cash that Fu San usually carries with him, there are also a few cigarettes given to him by others.
Ever since Fu Wan told him that cigarettes are bad for pregnant women, Fu San took this to heart. Not only did he not smoke in front of Lin Qiuju, but even when he was outside, he would only take it out to smell the smell.
He searched for a long time in the Great Unity in his hand. Just when Boss Fu and Fu Wan were looking at each other in confusion, Fu San finally took out a folded note from it.
Then he handed it to Fu Wan carefully as if presenting a treasure.
"Awan, this is the method for making fish maw that Brother Sun Youcai, the one who bought two yellow croakers yesterday, wrote down for me.
You know I'm not very literate, so take a look at it yourself and see how well Mr. Jing writes.
Fu Wan took the note and carefully unfolded it to read it.
The handwriting on the note is vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that the person who wrote it has a high level of education.
But think about it, if you have a low level of education, you won’t be able to do business in Beijing, let alone gain a foothold there.
Fu Wan carefully read the method of processing yellow croaker fish maw. After reading the whole article, she found that it was not difficult, but a bit troublesome.
The processing steps of yellow croaker fish maw are mainly divided into four steps, namely cleaning, shaping, drying and storage.
Cleaning is a daily routine for fishermen. After all, all sea fish must be cleaned before cooking, and the same is true for yellow croaker.
After the fish maw is completely removed, it must be cleaned with clean water to remove the blood and grease on it, so as to ensure the purity of the fish maw.
After cleaning, the fish maw needs to be regularized, that is, shaped, so that the overall appearance of the fish maw looks decent and it is also convenient for drying later.
The first and most important step in drying fish maw is to find a place that is not only ventilated and dry, but also free of flies. Fish maw is very delicate, so it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, but the place where it is dried should not be too shady.
Excessive exposure to the sun can easily dry out the oil in the fish maw, affecting its quality. Excessive shade can prevent the fish maw from drying out, and if it rains for a few days, it may even become smelly and moldy.
At the same time, drying fish maw is like drying rice. It needs to be turned over every once in a while so that all sides can be dried evenly.
There is still the problem of storage after drying, but this is also what Fu Wan doesn't have to worry about the least. When she goes back to dry it, she can also go to Sun Youcai to buy a special box for dried goods, put the fish maw in it, and put it in a cool place at home.
After reading the method of processing fish maw, Fu Wan couldn't help but sigh that this is simply an instruction manual on fish maw processing, it is so comprehensive!
But it seems that handling fish maw is not an easy job.
She was a little upset at this time and even began to doubt whether she should have kept the yellow croaker.
You know, she is the one who is most afraid of trouble.
Fu San also noticed the constant changes in Fu Wan's expression. After hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked:
"Awan, you want this yellow croaker because you want the fish maw, right? Uncle San has a solution. Would you like to hear it?"
"Uncle San, please tell me what you can do. I really only want fish maw!"
Fu Wan also became interested. It was obvious that Fu San was hiding something from her words.
Seeing that Fu Wan and Boss Fu were looking at him seriously, Fu San stopped keeping him in suspense.
"Sun Youcai told me that if you only want the fish maw, you can consider selling the yellow croaker to him. He will give it to you when he has finished making the fish maw."
"I didn't know if you would agree, so I didn't agree right away. I wanted to ask your opinion first."
Is there such a good thing?
Fu Wan agreed absolutely, but the most valuable part of the yellow croaker was the fish maw. Would Sun Youcai want just the fish meat?
"Uncle San, did Sun Youcai really say that? He only wants fish?"
Fu San nodded: "How could I lie to you!"
"Sun Youcai thought it would be OK without fish maw and fish meat, as his father-in-law loves it. And since the old man is having his birthday in a few days, he could add a dish to the feast."
Hearing this, Fu Wan was really moved.
You don’t have to pay for this processing, only a fool would not agree!
Originally, she only wanted fish maw and was not keen on the meat of the yellow croaker.
"Did Sun Youcai say how much he offered?"
Fu San scratched his head. "He said fifty thousand, and he'll be responsible for drying the fish maw for you."
Fifty thousand. It’s no wonder that Sun Youcai is a business genius. Except for his fish, the cheapest price of other yellow croakers is one hundred and sixty thousand.
However, the yellow croaker worth 160,000 yuan, the fish maw alone is probably worth 100,000 yuan.
So Fu Wan immediately nodded and agreed to Fu San's proposal.
"Uncle San, you can have him take the yellow croaker away later. Just let me know when the fish maw is ready to dry."
Boss Fu had no objection to Fu Wan's decision. He also felt that it was a bit of a luxury for his family to eat such a precious thing as yellow croaker.
What's more, the yellow croaker depends entirely on the killer whales. If it weren't for Fu Wan, the killer whales would probably not be friendly at all. They would be in a good mood if they didn't tail the boat when passing by.
The last yellow croaker was sold. Fu San said goodbye to Fu Wan and the boss, and then went to the village committee excitedly to contact Sun Youcai.
"Awan, I have to go to the dock to see how the boat is being repaired."
"Okay, then I'll call Brother Ye Lin and ask him to come over as soon as possible in the next two days."
As the boat was about to go out to sea, Boss Fu had not even taken a close look at the condition of the boat, let alone paid the bill to the people who repaired the boat.
Fu Wan hurried to the village committee and called Qingshan Village, but Ye Jianguo on the other end of the phone told her that Ye Lin had come to Fujia Village early in the morning.
It turned out that Ye Jianguo had hunted several wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains yesterday, so he asked Ye Lin to deliver them to Fu Wan's house early in the morning.
Judging from the time, it’s almost time.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after Fu Wan returned home and started working, Ye Lin's voice came from outside the yard.
"Awan, Awan, open the door for me!"
Fu Ling was playing skipping rope with Qin Mingzhu in the yard. When she heard Ye Lin's voice, she hurried over to open the gate.
"Uncle!"
This little girl has a very good memory. Although she hasn't seen Ye Lin for a while, she still remembers her cousin.
Ye Lin responded with a smile, then immediately took out two bunches of big red flowers from his backpack.
"Here, Xiaofeng and Zhenxing picked these last night when they heard I was coming over, and asked me to bring them to you."
What little girl doesn't like flowers? Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu accepted them and thanked them sweetly, "Thank you, cousin!"
Fu Wan came out of the house and recognized what they were holding at a glance.
"Hey, where do all these phoenix flowers come from?"
