"Yeah, I'm willing to eat this. No wonder I can do big things and make a lot of money. You can't take this thing seriously, haha."

"The main reason is that it's not worth selling it at such a low price, so it's better to keep it for everyone to have a taste of it."

"If you want it...if you want it, wait until the harvest...Chunzhou...comes and asks...first!"

Chen Shi shouted the last word with all his strength before he stopped without stuttering.

Since following Ye Yaodong, Ye Yaodong has not disliked him. He has spoken more and is not as stuttering as he was at the beginning.

At first, he was disliked by everyone. He was so autistic that he didn't even dare to speak. Sometimes he didn't even say a word. He only occasionally said one or two words to his friends, but he was also disliked and begged to shut up.

Now when his friends ask him to shut up, he will say a few more words shamelessly. When people scold him, he will scold him back, making them jump in anger.

The more he practices, the more he stutters. He can also see that he is getting better, and he can also boldly speak a few words in front of unfamiliar people.

"No, it's already two days to wait for the fresh harvest ship. Such a big fish will take several days to finish. It will take two days to start eating. How long will it take? Let's slaughter it now and start it in the evening while it's fresh.

eat."

"If you are sure to kill, I will go and kill him? Do you want to ask your father?"

"No, when you kill him, he might eat more than me. But when you kill him, remember to keep his gills and don't throw them away."

"You need to keep the gills, right? Then I remember."

Chen Laoqi called two people to help drag the fish out of the fish warehouse and help kill them together.

Weighing over two hundred kilograms, the thick flesh can be cut out with just one cut. Originally, the pectoral fins of this manta ray are made of cartilage and skin, and there are no hard spines all over the body.

But this one is so big and the meat is very thick. When it is cut off, it is no longer just the skin and cartilage, but the snow-white fish meat is exposed.

Ye Yaodong watched him chop off the pectoral fins directly, and ordered him to chop off the fish head first without thinking of cutting it off first.

"Don't you eat the pectoral fins first? Don't you eat the meat on the side first? Should you chop off the fish head first? We can't finish the head and pectoral fins of such a big fish at night."

"No, don't cook other fish. Just cook the fish head at night and use it to make tofu soup. Cut off a piece of the pectoral fin meat and steam it. Then you can make any dish."

"That's okay too."

Ye Yaodong mainly wanted to remove the gills of the manta ray while it was still fresh.

The gills of this manta ray are also called bulging gills, also called manta ray fú fèn gills, because manta rays are also called manta rays.

Expanded fish gills are mainly made from the processed gills of fish such as manta rays. It is a pure natural and precious marine health care product.

There is no need to make this, just take it out, wash it with water to remove the salty taste, dry it and store it.

Squid gills mainly have the functions of clearing heat, clearing rash, detoxifying and promoting lactation. It is often used to treat measles, pox, rare milk and other diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is regarded as a good medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and is also a natural "antipyretic".

It is specially used to treat fever and tonsillitis in children. It is also very good for bronchitis and laryngitis.

No one is hyping it up yet, and those in the countryside don’t know the value and use of this thing.

Later, after H1N1 and avian flu frequently made headlines, the market for manta ray gills gradually grew, with a kilogram of manta ray gills selling for as much as $200 in the dried seafood market.

It's so scary.

Although many things have a certain value, they are common medicines before they are hyped, but as soon as they are hyped, they become magical medicines.

Ye Yaodong thought about keeping the incomplete manta ray, and also wanted to cut off its gills, dry them, and take them home for later use. The children at home were still young, so what if it could be used?

Anyway, the swollen fish gills won't be blown away in the future, and they should have some unique features. Now, just sell them at a low price with a small piece of the pectoral fin missing. It's better to keep them to eat meat and get a swollen fish.

Fish gills.

The two hundred kilograms of manta ray weighs several kilograms if its gills are cut off. It is probably worth one or two kilograms when dried.

He watched Chen Laoqi chop off the fish head for a long time before he chopped it off, and then told him to be careful. If he didn't remind him, these big guys would just chop it randomly. Anyway, they would just put it in the pot and eat it themselves.

"Don't cut it randomly. Don't damage the fish's gills. Take them out intact."

"You still have to take it off intact? Then I'll be careful."

Ye Yaodong waited until the bright red fish gills were cut off, and the blood of the manta ray was still stuck on them. It was a bloody area, and then he asked him to throw it into a bucket of clean water first.

"What's the use of this? Do you need to stew it separately? Aren't the gills delicious? Such a big fish eats meat, so what's so delicious about the gills?"

"A Dong turns out to like eating fish gills?"

"No, I want to dry it and put it away."

"What's the use of these gills? Do you need to keep them away?"

"It can clear away heat and detoxify. It can also be used to treat throat inflammation and cough in children. Keep it for later use."

"Oh, it turns out, that's okay. It's not a rare thing anyway. It's better than spending money to buy medicine..."

"I'll give you a wash, just make it clean, okay?"

That saves trouble, Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Just wash it and hang it to dry."

"OK."

The uncles took the initiative to help him clean and dry him, and did the work without him having to stick his hands.

"There's nothing to do now. You guys should rest for a while. We'll start setting up the net again later."

"Okay, okay..."

Everyone lowered their heads, watching Chen Laoqi kill the devil fish, and responded without raising their heads.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them. Anyway, the gills had already been dried. He planned to go to the cockpit to see his father and use the maritime radio to connect to Uncle Pei's side to see if they had set up the net? How was the harvest?

?

They had only adjusted the frequency of the new machine when they got it, and they had not yet tried intercom at sea.

But when he turned around to get into the cockpit, he saw another oversized manta ray flying over in mid-air. He was stunned for a moment and screamed.

"Ah! The manta ray is flying again."

Everyone also turned their heads.

"Ah, flying over?"

"Ouch, flying over our heads..."

"Get out of the way..."

Everyone hurriedly hid to the side. Although they didn't know what danger there would be, the feeling of being covered in shadow was not that good.

Everyone kept looking up, and suddenly, a large black and white thing popped out of the devil's abdomen.

"What is that?"

"Shit?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and their necks were raised at ninety degrees as they stared at the sky above their heads. They saw the large thing in its abdomen suddenly detached and fell down with a snap.

Everyone's eyes also looked from above to below.

"What……"

"Ah? Is it the little devil fish?"

"Is this flying to give birth to babies?"

"This fish flies to give birth to its young?"

"I'll go, see you soon, okay? I've never seen a fish fly up to give birth to its young. Don't they all go down to their nests and into the sea?"

From the moment Ye Yaodong saw the manta ray flying up to when everyone noticed the manta ray flying above them and then to the time it gave birth to its babies, it only took a few seconds.

In fact, it is not "flying", but a short leap.

"Just one? Does this fish only give birth to one?"

"It turns out it was raw like this. I thought it was roe just like other fish."

Everyone watched the manta ray leap up, cross the fishing boat, and then glide into the water again. After seeing no shadow, they stepped forward to take a look.

"It's really a cub from a high altitude... It's been a long time since we've seen each other..." Ye Yaodong was speechless. Fortunately, he didn't hit anyone.

I had seen this while watching short videos in my previous life. I heard that this kind of manta ray often gives birth to its babies while flying in the sky. Today, it really opened my eyes.

It's a good thing these days, such a large manta ray has not been overfished, and we can still see such a strange natural phenomenon.

"This little devil is still alive, and his mouth is still opening and closing. Should he be thrown into the live barn?"

Everyone was still wearing gloves on their hands, so they directly lifted up the tail of the baby manta ray. This one was just born and was not afraid of the small spines on its tail.

"Throw it back into the sea and let it grow. It's useless even if it's so small."

Maybe its mother was still waiting for it under the water and accidentally fell into his boat.

If you throw it back, it will grow several meters in size in a few years, and it will be worth more when it is fished out.

"Then throw it back into the sea?"

"Throw it away."

A parabola swung and sank into the water.

"I didn't expect it to be so big right after it was born. It looks a lot like a ray. If I hadn't seen it fall out from under the big devil's belly, I would have thought it was a ray."
