Chapter 338: Saury

When playing games on the ship these few days, they once guessed whether Northland wants to reward itself and how to reward itself.
Xiao Peng guessed what Northland-made mobile phones would be rewarded; Wowen guessed what North-made weapons would be rewarded for self-defense. Only Yang Meng guessed it was for medals.
Looking at it now, Yang Meng really guessed it right.
In fact, since ancient times, after every war, there has been a tradition of rewarding merits, which are rewards for real money, land, etc.
But there were too many wars and too many heroes. This reward was not enough. In the end, the ancient Romans came up with a solution (in fact, there was no way to be poor), which was to award medals as an honor.
In modern times, the medal was carried forward by the former Soviet Union, and the country with the same camp has this custom. Uh, it's actually because of poverty. It is impossible to provide material rewards on a large scale, so I have to use it instead.
Today, the only country that issues medals most often is Northland. . . . . .
The head of state with a smile gave everyone the Vladimir a three-level national flag medal, and even Wowen had it. This was the first Stars and Stripes national to receive this honor.
Wowen can be in the history book!
As for Xiao Peng, he even won the second-level national flag medal and was awarded the title of ‘National Hero’. This is a reward for Xiao Peng alone to save the North Korean people in the rainstorm.
After awarding the medals, the crowd burst into deafening cheers. The general waved his hand to be quiet, and said: "As we all know, our country is in the same brotherhood with Huaxia. This time our Huaxia brothers saved so many of our compatriots in the wind and rain. This heroic behavior made us sigh. Here, I officially announce. The No. 3 Pier of Chongjin Port was renamed as'Beihua Friendship Wharf' to commemorate the heroic actions of Captain Xiao of China. At the same time, Captain Xiao is also a good friend of the people of Northland. He is always welcome to visit North Korea."
Xiao Peng listened to the words of General Three Fatty, and was taken aback, did he give him the North Country Pass?
But this sounds good, but when you think about it, it's not a big deal. After all, this is Northland, and it is too difficult to make money here.
But with the Northland Pass, that would be enough for Xiao Peng to blow for a few years. This is not something everyone can get.
Xiao Peng and others thanked the head of state, but the head of state waved his hands: "This is what you deserve, and you unconditionally help us people in the North. This is a symbol of our friendship."
"Long live the friendship between the two countries, and the friendship between the two countries will last forever!" Xiao Pengguang nodded, tsk tsk, look at people, it is clear that the post-80s, this kind of high-ranking temperament. . . . . .
The head of state took a close photo with everyone and left.
This is different from Xiao Peng's imagination. In his imagination, how many people should the head of state invite at least as guests? Why did you just leave like this?
Or Yang Meng gave the answer: "Do you think he came to see us? People looked at Wowen."
Xiao Peng then remembered that the head of state is an out-and-out basketball fan. He once urged Jordan to be a guest in Northland, but he failed. In the end, he had to invite Rodman to the Northland.
Think about it, too, the Northern Head of State may be the only head of state in the world who cannot watch the game live in the NBA.
In other words, Northland basketball has developed very well, having beaten the China Olympic Men's Basketball Team in three consecutive games.
The basketball rules in their country are also very strange. A dunk is counted as a three-pointer, a three-pointer into the net counts as a four-pointer, and if a goal is scored in the last three seconds of the game, eight points are awarded! Of course, there are extra points and deductions. If the free throw fails, one point will be deducted. Players like O'Neal Jordan will definitely cry if they play according to the rules of Northland basketball.
"Xiao Peng, what shall we do next?" Yang Meng asked Xiao Peng looking at the dispersed crowd.
"I asked some idiot questions, what else can you do? Run." Xiao Peng glared at Yang Meng, "How many more days do you want to stay here?"
When Yang Meng heard that he might still stay in Chongjin City, he ran back to the cabin in fright, started the boat and left: "Xiao Peng, where shall we go next?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "We have to find a place to make supplies. We have been in Chongjin for so long and there is no supply. There are so many people on the boat, whether it is vegetable fresh water or oil, we must make a good supply."
"Where to add it?" Yang Meng looked at the chart and searched for nearby ports.
Xiao Peng patted Yang Meng's head: "I need to ask? Go to Otaru City! You forgot Lao Tzu is an honorary citizen there?"
When Yang Meng heard this, he looked at Xiao Peng with horror: "Last time we did so many things for the Japanese country, we dared to go to Otaru City? Does this count as a fool."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? They have no reason to say we, let's go, see if there are any fish on the way, and go to Otaru City to sell fish. Walking, crossing the Wa Country Sea, target Otaru City! "
Wowen took the medal he had just received and watched for a long time: "Give us a medal for such a hard work, so stingy."
Xiao Peng smiled: "Wowen, you are content, you are the first Star-Stripe countryman to receive this medal. If this incident is reported, I don't know what uproar will be caused."
Warvin was horrified after hearing this: "No? I can't influence my career for this, can I?" You know, Rodman almost drowned in the saliva of the people of Star Stripe because he went to the North Country.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "You are different from Rodman. He is here to make money. You are here to save people. It will only improve your image. Don't worry about that."
As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, Wang Hu ran in: "Boss, come out and see, we are in a school of fish here."
"Fish school? The fish finder didn't sound the alarm... Fuck, Mengzi, how did you turn off the fish finder?" The ship docked for so many days and the fish finder forgot to turn it on.
Yang Meng turned on the fish finder, and the fish finder also had a start time. Xiao Peng didn't wait at all, and went out to see what fish school was it? What fish finder can be seen by the naked eye?
When Xiao Peng came to the ship's side, many people had gathered here. Xiao Peng saw that the sea was black and heavy, but it was not a big fish. It was about twenty centimeters in length, with a black and blue fish.
So many fish are gathered very densely, which is a means of life-saving for weak and small fish species that have evolved with fish.
Fish do not have developed brains and nerves. They gather together through simple evolutionary instincts to forage together and avoid natural enemies. Many small fishes are gathered together to form large schools to deter natural enemies.
Xiao Peng then saw what fish was in the clear water, and clapped his hands and said, "It just happened to be worried about what fish to sell in the country. I found the hut when I just wanted to shit. That's it. Brothers, change the small hole net and prepare the net fish. Up."
Wang Hu ran over: "Boss, what kind of fish is this? Can it be sold for such a small size?"
Xiao Peng explained with a smile: "Good question, this fish is really worthless. We Chinese people rarely eat this kind of fish, but if you go to the country of Japan, you can say that you can sell as much as you can. It was sold out."
"Is this fish so popular in the country? It doesn't look delicious when you look at it." Wang Hu curled his lips.
Xiao Peng smiled even more happily: "You are right, this fish is really not delicious, but you can't stand the Japanese people like to eat it? But now is not the best season to eat this kind of fish. If you are in three months, you You can see people eating this fish anywhere in the country."
Wang Hu scratched his head: "Boss, what you said is so lively, you still didn't tell me what kind of fish it is? I think we are very similar to our black-backed needlefish."
Xiao Peng nodded: "There has been progress. These two fish are indeed very similar. In the classification of fish, they belong to close relatives of the same order and different families. The name of this fish is very domineering, and it is called saury."
Pacific saury is one of the few fishes whose names are unified by both China and Japan. The name comes from its slender body shape.
However, there are not many people who eat this fish in China, but it is very popular in Japan. There is even a proverb that says, "As soon as the saury is on the market, the masseuse is unemployed." Scientists have proved that the nutrients in the saury have good effects on adult diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, and arteriosclerosis. And the vitamin A content in saury is 16 times more than beef. It is also very effective for treating night blindness.
The saury matures in autumn in the waters of the southern part of the country, and matures in the early summer in the waters of the northern part of the country. The school of saury Xiao Peng saw was the school of saury that followed the ocean current to spawn in the inner bay.
"Boss, the gill net has been replaced." The crew reported to Xiao Peng.
"Go directly to the Internet!" Xiao Peng ordered.
Drifting nets can be called the most lethal fishing nets. Large drifting nets are often composed of three layers of large, medium and small nets. Regardless of whether the big fish and the small fish are all caught, if they are used excessively, they will cause ecological catastrophe. Drift net fishing is prohibited.
However, the most suitable method of catching saury is a gill net, because the fish is too small.
However, Xiao Peng was not worried that he would cause an ecological catastrophe. All he had to do was to drive the fish into the net with the sea technique and close the net quickly, so that no loss would be caused to the other types of fish.
You know, most people release gillnets for several days, and within a few days the fish will be caught in one net. Xiao Peng didn't. Therefore, despite the use of drift nets, it does not cause ecological catastrophe like others.
But even so, there are bound to be many idiots who crash into the fishing net. Who makes saury too many natural enemies?
At any time, there will be many predators near a school of saury, like squid, tuna, sharks, dolphins, etc. They all like to feed on saury, just like the yellow-line that Xiao Peng just gave away. If you see A school of saury will rush up to prey without hesitation. Big fish eat small fish. This is the eternal law of marine ecology.
However, the saury was not extinct despite its many natural enemies. The reason is simple: the saury is too fertile: their way of avoiding natural enemies is to breed desperately and build a huge fish school. When the predator is full, they will naturally let the rest of the fish go. Large-scale saury can reach several thousand tons. You know, the total annual catch of saury is measured in millions of tons.
The school of saury Xiao Peng saw was at least a few hundred tons in total.
