Yu Sibao is the youngest on the ship, only 17 years old, which is a full 6 years younger than his cousin Yu Chushui.

Yu Sibao, who started fishing with his father at the age of 15, is extremely talented and is unparalleled in diving. He can fish for crabs from the bottom of the sea with just one breath.

Today, everyone set sail and went to sea as usual. The small fishing village where the Yu family is located is on the coast of Putian, about 20 kilometers away from Cormorant Island. The Qingyu boat cast a net for fishing all the way, and unknowingly arrived at Cormorant Island.

Near the island. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Chengde ordered to go to the old place to take shelter from the wind, and prepare to return to the sea early tomorrow morning.

After the boat stopped at a small bay where everyone often took shelter, the fishermen continued their hard work: after the fresh fish were caught on the boat, the fishermen had to handle the harvest anytime and anywhere. Otherwise, in the average high temperature of more than 20 degrees in the south,

, raw fish will spoil quickly.

This is the problem: fishermen who go to sea do not have refrigerated trucks and express delivery, and they do not have the ability to deliver fresh fish to the tables of gentlemen. These fish must undergo primary processing before they can be preserved, such as drying and pickling.

Different environments create different races.

During the same period of time, fishermen from the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Germany were working in the bitterly cold North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, and around Iceland. The cold seas produced fatty Atlantic salmon and Atlantic herring, but there was no sunlight for half a year.

The North Sea region is naturally a big refrigerator - this is why Nordic people can eat chilled salmon sitting at home.

This naturally chilled method is not possible in temperate areas. Therefore, the Han people living in East Asia, even the wealthy gentry in coastal cities, were eventually forced to develop the habit of eating freshwater fish. People's Choice

The order is: I would rather eat spiny freshwater fish than salted fish.

This embarrassing situation has continued into later generations. Even after humans invented the refrigerator, the contradiction still existed, but it was shifted - the reason for not eating sea fish became price.

In addition to the rich people who can enjoy the changes in the diet structure brought about by scientific and technological progress, the vast majority of people can still only eat fish heads with chopped peppers and freshwater fish boiled with various rich seasonings. Salmon sashimi costs a hundred yuan a plate, not the poor.

Affordable.

After mooring the boat, the fishermen on the Herring took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to begin the work of pickling salted fish. All fish caught were disembowelled and their internal organs were removed, and then the fish were rubbed with salt grains.

There is a shortage of salt in Fujian, so what Yu Chengde and the others are using now is a little private salt secretly cooked in an iron pot in the village. Even so, the amount of salt is still not enough, so part of the fish has to be hung on ropes to make air-dried fish.

Whenever this happens, Yu Sibao will strip naked and then dive into the bottom of the sea to play.

The water on the reef coast near Cormorant Island is extremely clear. But today, after Yu Sibao dived into the seabed, he vaguely saw a dark shadow under the water. Holding his breath, he dived diagonally downward for more than ten minutes.

After a few meters, Yu Sibao saw a lucky boat dumped on the bottom of the sea.

More than 2 months were not enough for the boat to be covered with sea sand, so Si Bao recognized it at a glance as a lucky boat.

After turning around and getting out of the water, Sibao took a few deep breaths and then plunged into the sea again. This time he dived vertically from above the ship, so there was plenty of time. It didn't take long for him to get into the stern of the lucky ship.

middle.

There were not many corpses in the poop. There was only one human corpse floating on the top of the cabin that was too old and showed many white bones and fish tooth marks.

During the battle that day, almost everyone on the Fu Ship was on the deck, so when the ship sank, all the living people swam away, and the dead people had already been washed away by the current. The person in the poop was shot by a heavy machine gun a long time ago.

The bullet penetrated inside.

Yu Sibao, a small fisherman in the 17th century, was naturally not afraid of corpses. In this era, from the poor to the rich and powerful, those who lived to adulthood had countless times more experience with all kinds of dead people than those of later generations.

So after Yu Sibao entered the cabin, he quickly focused on an object with a slight metallic luster in the corner of the overturned cabin.

The young man's thinking was very simple: all metals are useful. So after he picked up the object, he turned around and swam out of the cabin, which was quickly muddied, without having time to take a closer look, and swam quickly towards the sea.

Things got out of hand because the first thing Yu Si Bao threw onto the bow of the boat was a bronze Buddha.

After the surface sediment was washed away by the sea water, this 6-inch-high Xuande-style copper Buddha statue with a lotus flower immediately shone golden in the sunset, and at the same time ignited the atmosphere of a group of silk fishermen on the bow of the boat.

——Everyone knows that everyone is about to be transferred now, and it is impossible to have just this little property on the sunken ship.

As a result, the Four Treasures quickly dived into the sea again under everyone's expectant gaze.

After resurfacing for the second time, Sibao brought an inkstone, a machete, and a waist tag from the dead body. Although the people on the boat were all illiterate and no one recognized the Zheng family's tokens, the machete and inkstone were definitely worth it.

A few taels of silver, so everyone's mood became even higher.

The Four Treasures' last expedition before dark brought back the ingot of silver and military thorns.

Originally, he only got the ingot of silver when he was groping around in the dark and dark cabin floating in the sand. However, when he swam out of the cabin and prepared to float up, he found a dagger stuck in the crevices of the rocks outside the boat.

So he took advantage of the sheep and brought General Thorn up.

After getting the dark silver, Yu Chengde quickly asked his son to wipe off his clothes, and then brought over the boiled ginger tea with his own hands.

The tea is the worst bitter tea, and the ginger is wild ginger from the fields near the village. After Yu Sibao took a few sips of tea, another piece of news came out of his mouth that made everyone excited: the poop of the Fuchuan

There was a large overturned cabinet inside, and he had already touched the lock.

Early the next morning, the Qingyu no longer fished, but slowly moved the boat above the sunken ship and anchored. Soon after, Yu Sibao, wearing a crotch-wrapped cloth and a thick cloth belt tied around his waist, came

The water started to enter.

Today, Yu Sibao came well prepared. Not only could he sink quickly along the anchor chain this time, he also had a wrought iron awl tied to the cloth belt around his waist for lock picking.

However, good things come slowly, and more than two months can't turn a lucky ship made of fine wood into rotten wood. So when Yu Sibao entered the cabin and used a wrought iron awl to pick the lock, the door lock made of fine copper naturally did not move.

Under the simultaneous action of buoyancy and limited time, Yu Sibao struggled to pry the lock 6 times throughout the morning. In the end, he found nothing. Not only did he not pry open the cabinet door, but the wrought iron awl was bent.

After lunch, Yu Chengde decisively changed his mind based on his son's description. He first asked Yu Sibao to get into the water, and then began to carefully touch the seams along the overturned cabinet. He wanted to join more like-minded people.
