When the boat left the Suzhou River, it first drove to the east bank of Huangpu River, which was close to Pudong. The main reason was that there were more docks and more large ships in Puxi. It was safer to go there.

The boat drove for a long time and was almost at the place before sailing back to the west coast. Lin Mo kept standing at the bow of the boat, wearing a pair of sunglasses, but now he had already changed the goods back, and his whole body was covered with good materials and accessories.

However, Lin Mo did not pretend to be cool and handsome on the bow of the boat, but took every opportunity to collect as much information as possible in all aspects.

Lin Mo got ashore and looked around. Now there are only a few customers coming and going, and most of the stores are left with unsightly fish.

However, there is an exception. The store is larger and there are many types of aquatic products. The most important one is that although there are some vacancies, the volume of goods is relatively sufficient.

After a few more glances, I found that it was not that I couldn't sell it, but that there was sufficient supply of goods, the fish was fresh and the quality was not bad. Some customers who were relatively wealthy in their clothes basically went straight to their houses.

Lin Mo brought a few people to the door and looked at it. The shop was busy with one man and four women, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat man in an apron, and four women. Judging from their actions and words, they should be relatives.

When I entered the store, I found that in addition to the fish stocks placed on the table with a thigh height, there were also fresh boxes below the table that were better than what they bought, and there were probably more fish stocks in it.

"What do you need, bosses?"

Seeing Lin Mo and the other four, the slightly fat man came up to him. Judging from his expression, he probably was the boss here. He had some problems with his legs and had a little stiff walking on his legs.

Lin Mo took out the cigarette, and the other party raised his hand to decline, then put it away again, and said, "Of course I bought fish, the amount is relatively large. Can you help deal with it?"

"It's certainly possible!" The boss nodded without saying too much.

"There are a lot of requirements. We need the freshest fish, and before and after the process, we need to clean and soak it with ice water throughout the process."

The boss frowned and looked at Lin Mo carefully. It didn't seem like he was deliberately looking for trouble, so he nodded reluctantly.

"It's OK, but the ice cubes used require extra money." The boss also put forward his own conditions.

"We have ice on the boat, can we use our own?"

"...Yes, yes..." The boss nodded quickly, with a smile on his face. He didn't sell ice to make money, and he used everyone's money. Moreover, Lin Mo said this, which shows that this is indeed a big customer, although there are a lot of requests.

Since the other party agreed, Lin Mo asked Zhu Sanbao and others to pick up the ice, and the boss also asked the women at home to pick up the big buckets and dig wells to get the ice water. After the arrangement, he took Lin Mo to choose the fish.

The four types of big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail and cuttlefish, are naturally the first to be selected, and these are also the main players in fishery stores.

The silver-white and bright hairtail fish and the golden yellow croaker are often placed in the most conspicuous place in the fish shop. The gold and silver are intertwined, which is so beautiful!

Lin Mo both took 100 kilograms of big yellow croaker and hairtail. The big yellow croaker was 40 to 50 cm adult fish, weighing about three kilograms. It can only be said that the resources were indeed abundant at this time.

The small yellow croaker and cuttlefish each took fifty kilograms, and the other pomfrets, horse-faced fish, tongue-shaped fish, etc. also picked thirty or fifty kilograms. There was also a row of fish ponds at the bottom of the store, which were used to store shrimps, crabs, shell eels and other hard-earned seafood.

Lin Mo bought some shrimp, crab and shellfish in small quantities and tried them. This thing was gone and then left unstoppable. It was not suitable to buy more eels, and there were more than ten groups of rocks that were barely alive in a pond. Lin Mo also packed them all together.

In addition to the fresh goods, the store also has very good quality salted yellow croaker bags, salted shrimp skin, salted hairtail, salted cuttlefish and other seafood. Lin Mo also packed a batch together.

Lin Mo went to the other side and saw a lot of fish of deep-sea such as bonito, bream, and croaker. They were quite small, and there were two suspected tuna fish. They were probably dozens or hundreds of pounds in a single fish.

"Are there any of these fresher?" Lin Mo poked, touched them again, and looked at them. He felt that the capture time was probably not close.

When the boss heard this, he explained: "There are few of these people who can catch them. Generally, some of them can only be caught by boats running outside the sea. They will not be able to come back until the evening. These were collected yesterday."

After saying that, he thought about it and pointed to several of the fishes and said, "You are also quite picky. These fish species have a good taste, but those species are not good. The fish tastes fishy and sour, which means that they are caught by fishing boats that have been cooperated with for a long time. Normally, they are sold for one day. If they can't be sold, they will be dealt with at a low price to the surrounding poor neighbors."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's not that the fish is not delicious, but that it's not properly treated. When these fish are caught, they should be treated with bloodletting as soon as possible to ensure the taste of the fish."

"Just bleed when you catch it?" The store owner was a little surprised. Have you never heard of this kind of practice?

"What's so strange about it? Slaughtering pigs and cows, chickens, ducks and geese, etc. are all blood-letting slaughtering? Some beef and mutton are also important to remove the blood foam before cooking!

The sour and fishy smell of blood is strong, like buying blood stasis. What's the taste? I've tasted it? That's the taste of blood left in the meat. Moreover, the blood is the most prone to rot, and not bleeding is very unfavorable to keep fresh and preservation."

"...It's true..." The shop owner nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "I bought braised pork some time ago and bought blood stasis. I tasted it and almost vomited it. I didn't even suppress the smell of braised pork. The meat that didn't bleed should be unable to eat."

Lin Mo nodded and continued: "And these fish, like pigs and cows, all belong to red meat. You can understand that the meat is red. Whether it is livestock or fish, the body has a lot of blood, which is much more than those fish with white meat.

Furthermore, it is basically difficult for red meat fish to survive when they come out of water. If they don’t take blood on the boat, the blood stool has been solidified in the meat and cannot be discharged, so the fish tastes very bad. Of course, some are also because the fish itself has a bad taste.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "…Well..." The shop owner pondered for a while and asked, "Boss, are you sure you want to buy this?"

"What's the point?" Lin Mo was also a little curious about what the store owner meant?

"We have a fish harvesting boat in our house. I heard that during this period, many of these fish have come to the vicinity of the river mouth. If you really want it, I can let the boat go around and it should be able to collect a lot of them for you."

Lin Mo heard this and asked with a smile: "The amount I need is not too large, and it is impossible to offer too high prices for it. Can you get this busy work?"

"I want to try the method you mentioned too!" The shop owner smiled.

When his family harvests fish normally, they must not waste time and work on these things. They can only run alone, but running alone has costs.

Lin Mo is willing to buy, and he can share a part of it, and he is willing to buy it, which also means that this matter is clear and not a silly word.

"Of course it's a good thing. I want a lot of it. I'll pack it for you for every amount of less than 100 kilograms." Lin Mo naturally knew that since he could do it, he had nothing to agree with.

"...I haven't asked you how to bleed..." The shop owner was so anxious that he wanted to run out, but when he arrived at the door, he returned it. He remembered the key question but hadn't asked yet!

Lin Mo frowned and said, "I don't know much about bloodletting. I only know that it is to cut gills, tails, and pierce the point behind the pectoral fin. Anyway, it is the place where the large blood vessels or blood vessels are concentrated. If you often kill fish, you should know where the blood vessels are located, right?"

"...I'm roughly clear..." The shop owner thought for a while, nodded, and then he thought about it and walked out.

Lin Mo also followed suit and said, "When you bleed, you can put it for a while and then put it in ice water. Low temperature can cause blood vessels to contract and discharge blood as much as possible.

I just wanted to use fresh fish and I asked to use ice water throughout the process, just to try my best to drain the fish blood, ensure the taste, and also try to extend the shelf life of the fish."

When the shop owner heard this, he said curiously: "The boss bought so many fish, so he wanted to keep it and eat it slowly. Can this be frozen? There is a company in the city that can freeze the fish."

Lin Mo heard this and smiled and said, "There is a difference between cold and frozen. Freshness is equivalent to iced fish. Although it is not stored for a long time, it has no effect on the taste, and it is even better than fresh fish in some aspects.

And I didn't save it and eat slowly. Before, I returned home and brought some chili seafood. My family invited me to dinner. Many people agreed that my relatives came to me and wanted to hold a seat. I asked me to come back and get some back, hoping to keep the scene and earn face.

As a result, others heard that several other companies were going to hold seats in the near future, and they came to their doors. The few companies were still a little while away, and they were not close to here, so they could only buy more and save them."

While talking, the two of them came to the riverside wharf beside the fish market. A large sail of an old sand boat that was more than 30 meters long was transformed into. The shop owner came forward to talk and explained it, and soon began to prepare.

"Pick the ice from my boat! I purchased enough ice cubes just now." Seeing them finishing talking, Lin Mo spoke.

The shop owner nodded, not because he wanted to take advantage of this, but because he didn't have enough extra ice storage here, so he didn't have to work harder.

"The boss is doing a big business? Why don't you go to Shiliupu Fish Wharf to develop? I feel that the market here is a bit small! I guess your house is a fish collecting boat, plus other scattered fishing boats, so you can't eat more fish here, right?"

Lin Mo lit a cigarette and asked casually, but the store owner just smiled and didn't say much, and might not want to say much.

"…Sorry, I'm sorry, I don't understand this industry and I'm talking nonsense." Lin Mo bowed with an apology.

Does he really not understand? Of course he understood, but his actions were a bit popular before, and he deliberately said that he was just a little confused.

After the matter was arranged here, the two returned to the store, and several large buckets of ice water were prepared, and the store owner also walked directly behind the cement platform where the fish was handled.

"Does these fish and miscellaneous things need to be dealt with?" After cleaning the workbench, the shop owner asked Lin Mo.

"Treat it! I like to eat it very much, I can eat enough this time."

Lin Mo responded with a smile, it was all transactions, no one suffered any losses, and he had nothing to be embarrassed to ask for.

The shop owner nodded without saying much, and directly slaughtered the fish with the fish they had picked too early. He also gently pressed the fish body as needed and tried to drain the fish blood as much as possible.

"The boss is busy here. I will leave a few of them here to load the ship, and there are some other things to buy. I will go shopping nearby."
