Chapter 1233 Hakodate Fishing Ground
The craftsmen and slaves of Hakodate Port lived a good life the next day after Dongfangping came.
You can eat enough fish rice.
Even the Xiaofu Home in Chang'an City cannot enjoy this kind of life.
Especially when you eat fresh sea fish, you need the prefectures and counties by the sea to have the chance.
However, when Dongfangping went to sea for the second time, it was not as smooth as the first time. After wandering around for a day, he never encountered a school of fish again.
"The Eastern Governor, in fact, it doesn't have to find a group of fish to catch fish. I think as long as you throw the fishing net down, you will get some harvest."
Li Geng felt that Dongfang Ping was a little greedy.
How could something like fish be everywhere?
For most fishing teams, it is very good to be able to encounter a fish school once or twice a month.
Other times, I am catching fish in the seas I am familiar with.
Although this fishing method is not as easy as fishing directly against the fish, it is relatively safe and the most common way.
"Fishing is not my main purpose. I confirm the fishery resources around Hakodate Port and see if it is worth further increase in investment in the East China Sea fishery. This is the issue I need to consider."
Dongfangping was obviously not in a hurry at all.
Although the fishing boat has been floating on the sea for a whole day, this is nothing at all.
Normally, which fleet can come back on the same day when going out to sea to catch fish?
"The number of fish schools is a very important indicator, but how many fish in this area are caught? In fact, we can't just look at the fish schools, right?
After all, not all sea fish will form the size of fish that was yesterday.
If some small fishing groups pass by us, we may not be able to discover unless they surface."
Li Geng knew what some sea fish live in the deep sea after all, and would not move on the water at any time.
What the lookout hand can only see is the situation on the water.
"I'll be on the way for two days. If I still haven't harvested, then put the net to catch fish and see how the effect is."
Dongfangping obviously did not give up.
In his opinion, since such a large group of bluefish could appear yesterday, it means that the nearby waters are more suitable for the growth of the sea.
At this time, the possibility of continuing to encounter some other fish should be very high.
In this way, the fleet spent a relatively dull night at sea.
Although there are many hurricanes in summer, when you arrive at Hakodate, you will rarely be affected by hurricanes.
On the contrary, the northwest wind in winter will occasionally cause heavy snow to Hakodate, which will have many impacts on all aspects.
...
Cycad is a special lookout hand around Dongfangping.
Every time Dongfangping goes out to sea, no matter what sea boat he takes, Cycad will be one of the lookout players.
This is not just because Cy Tiesheng is Su Chengguan’s cousin, but Dongfang Ping is Su Chengguan’s friend.
Another important reason is that Cycad's nautical talent is really developed.
He graduated from Dengzhou Shipbuilding Academy and showed his talent when he was still in the academy.
Otherwise, there would be no chance to enter the East China Sea fishery so easily.
Today, he got up as usual, as he was still dawn.
Then he climbed up the mast skillfully like a monkey, took out a piece of whale jerky from his arms, and chewed it slowly.
He has become accustomed to the lonely life on the mast, and the whale jerky is his best companion to replenish energy and play time.
“Huh?”
Cycad had just bitten a bite of the whale jerky and found something seemed to be happening ahead.
Although most of the crew were still sleeping, Cyprus confirmed using a telescope and found that there was a school of salmon in front of him, which was the salmon in the mouth of His Highness the King of Chu, and immediately became restless.
Salmons are more likely to see them in groups when they are spawning.
Other times, it is still difficult for you to encounter their fish on the sea.
The most important thing is that this kind of fish has a relatively high value. If it is sent to Chang'an City after being frozen, it will be the most delicious fish sashimi. Not only Japanese people like to eat it, but Tang people like it even more.
In the Analects of Confucius, there is a saying that "eat never tires out fine food and stew never tires out fine meat", and this stew is actually sashimi.
However, in the Central Plains dynasty, freshwater fish is generally used to make fish sashimi, and the ingredients are a little poor.
Since the fishing industry in Dengzhou developed, fish sashimi has been immediately welcomed by wealthy businessmen.
In Chang'an City, if you can invite everyone to have a meal of fish sashimi, it will definitely be the top hospitality specifications.
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
After repeated confirmation, Cycad immediately sounded the conch horn after finding that although the size of the fish in front was not very large, it was really a salmon.
No matter how small a school of fish is, it is still a school of fish.
Just put the net down and the cabin will be full.
"Tiesheng, have you discovered anything?"
Dongfangping soon ran out of the cabin.
Although he was called out before he woke up, Dongfang Ping felt no resentment in his heart when he thought of the great gains.
"Governor, salmon school, we found salmon school at two o'clock in front of us. We need to turn the direction, otherwise we may miss the fish school."
Lin Tieshan reported the current situation briefly and clearly.
Soon, under the command of Dongfangpinghe captains, the fleet began to turn slowly.
"Is the fish catch really so abundant outside Hakodate Port? I found a huge herd of grass fish the day before yesterday, and another salmon fish again today. This is so surprising."
Li Geng picked up the telescope in disbelief and looked at the salmon school in the distance.
After living at sea for so many years, Li Geng knew very well that salmon schools were relatively rare at sea.
Most of the time, they are on small scale activities.
It is very difficult for you to encounter a decent school of salmon.
But now I just waited for a day and got new gains.
If this news reaches Dengzhou, at least half of the fleet there will be going to Hakodate to find opportunities.
After all, salmon in a cabin is many times more valuable than bluefish.
"Li Langjun, it seems that the North Pacific route is opened, and the hope is greater. If there are salmon schools near Hakodate, there are likely to be fish on the sea where you go to North America.
If a large number of fishing boats are moving in this area, they will definitely look for some other supply points, which will be very beneficial for improving the routes in the North Pacific Ocean."
Dongfangping is in a very good mood too.
As for the next fishing, he didn't care so much.
Even if this group of salmon ran away, he wouldn't be very sad.
Fishing is not his purpose after all.
What he wanted to confirm is whether it was a natural large-scale fishing ground near Hakodate?
Can Hakodate Fishery be famous?
