Chapter 887: Iron Plate Fishing

What's even more rare is the shell of this giant clam.

This is an old tridacna. The middle of the shell is the yellow teeth that have been jaded, and the outer edge is pure and white. There are some transparent golden filaments and color blocks in the middle. The color gradually deepens to the edge, turning into golden yellow and orange, and finally at the outer edge, it changes into a faint purple color.

The most precious thing in the Song Dynasty was purple. Li Shunju touched the thick purple edge of the conch: "This is too expensive, it is beyond the reach of a minister. How many beads will be ground out..."

Su You rolled his eyes: "It's a waste to grind beads? Such a precious big material must of course be made into a complete big work."

After saying that, he took Yang Shi's rat brush and added a few strokes to the inside of the giant clam: "In this way, isn't it more appropriate to make a picture of Jinwu Snow Island Zixia?"

The imagination of literati is very rich. Li Shun picked up the fruit pen and quickly added the patterns according to the strokes outlined by Su You. Soon, a colorful sunrise pattern of the Strait appeared in the shell of the giant clam.

On both sides are white continents, in the middle are golden sea ripples and white islands, in the distance and above are golden day after clouds, and orange and purple sky.

"Miushy!" Li Shunju laughed: "It's so interesting, you need to design it well."

Suddenly I thought of a question: "It's not okay to just draw, can it be processed?"

The texture of giant clams is relatively brittle, easy to grind but not easy to carve. If you use traditional jade craftsmanship, you can only use jade sand to cut and grind beads.

Su You smiled and said, "Shugong's equipment has solved this problem long ago. They have designed it well for themselves. They will have no problem completing your masterpiece."

The jade worker of Shu Gong has now used a carving pen, similar to the molar support of later dentists. Through the bracket connected by three ball joints, a carving arm can be formed, and a flexible and free movement can be achieved.

Each joint connection is equipped with a leather screw wheel, which can transmit the movement of the large wheel on the pedal base into a high-speed rotation of the end of the engraving machine arm. As long as various grinding heads and grinding needles are clamped, the engraving and grinding processing of large jade, stone and wood can be realized.

The invention of carving pens greatly liberated the hands and feet of craftsmen, and everyone could sit in front of the materials and process large three-dimensional themes like paintings.

And the fineness is comparable to fine brushwork.

After Su You's explanation, Li Shunju finally understood and looked at the two huge giant clam shells: "Then this time we will make two great things for the official family as a tribute gift for the Chaotian Festival next year."

The gooseneck barnacle is very large because no one has eaten it. It was not until a hundred years later that the Song people described it in "Sanshan Zhi": "The turtle's feet are famous for their shape, the flesh in the depression is beautiful, and the big one is like a palm."

The cooking method is very simple, just like ordinary seafood, and is generally suitable for boiling or steaming with wine.

Today's tropical marine dilao technology is very primitive. There is no clear vision for diving and capture, so it basically depends on blind spots.

With ground grease, you can create diving glasses, diving webbed foot, elastic fish gun, and steel fish arrows that can open barbs. The seabed is simply a treasure house for people to pick.

Suoyou made an ice plate with hot salt, put fish sashimi, lobster sashimi, and snail meat slices on the ice plate, and each person mixed a plate of mustard sauce, so that everyone could enjoy the taste from the sea together.

Several large pots of white seafood were served, and the shrimps, oysters, clams, and turtle claws were slap.

Li Shunju picked up a snail, and used Su You's method to tear open the thick skin at the bottom of the snail shell with his hand, pecked the rich juice inside, and then tore the snail shell open, sucking the snail meat into his mouth, and an extremely comfortable expression appeared.

Su You smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie, right? It's the best in the world, right?"

Li Shunju pecked his finger again: "Miaoji, can this thing be sent to the palace?"

Su You thought for a while: "This is unlikely. Even if the problem of seafood transportation is solved, the sea water still needs to be heated up, otherwise all tropical fish, shrimp and aquatic products will die before they can be delivered to Bianjing."

Li Shunju picked up another one: "What a pity, it's a pity. Only dry goods can be eaten in the palace, but I don't know that fresh seafood is a different taste."

Wang Shao was eating lobsters while arguing, and he also caught one: "It's really that delicious?"

Soon, everyone joined the ranks of the battle for the turtle claw snail.

So I made another pot of Suyou, and this time I added citrus juice, bay leaves and cooking wine, which tasted differently.

Li Daocheng said in surprise: "I have lived in such an old age in vain. I don't know that Jiaozhi has such delicious food."

Wang Shao laughed and said, "Mr. Li, don't be embarrassed. According to Mingrun, Fujian and Guangnan also produce this, but we don't know it yet. I'm afraid that only a big foodie who is good at both the north and the south can pay attention to such strange things."

Su You ate a piece of fish sashimi and expressed dissatisfaction: "They have been playing in the water for too long, and the fish sashimi is not fresh enough. Let's go and have a few more fresh ones."

When Sun Neng peacefully came to the stern of the boat, Su You gave them a rod. Sun Neng looked at the bright metal plate on the rope and was a little stunned: "Teacher, do you think the silly fish will swallow this?"

Su You said: "The science of fishing is not science, but metaphysics. Sometimes, no matter how good your skills are, you can't catch a novice. Sometimes, no matter how exquisite the bait you use, you can't catch an old farmer who uses grass leaves and snails. Hehehe, so confidence is the most important..."

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Do you believe me?"

Hiramasaki immediately shouted with sincerity: "Believe!"

Sun Neng’s expression on his face is that you don’t want to lie to me to eat shit. Science and Technology suspects that the teacher is not a sin, as long as you can prove that the teacher is wrong: “Believe it…”

The two of them put the silver-plated iron sheets to the end, then shook them up twice, and Su You ordered: "Start the pump now!"

The large iron piece was three or two and a steel fish hook was hung on it. The three of them began to lift the rod like fools.

After a while of snoring, Sun Neng felt that doing this was ridiculous: "Teacher, just say whatever you want to do, don't tease people like this..."

He saw Taimasaki next to him staggering: "There is something! I'm biting the hook!"

Su You quickly shouted: "Cut the line and get the line and get the place for Zhengsheng!"

Sun Neng was a little dizzy. What's this thing? Can I really catch fish by iron plates?

Then a strong force came from the rod, almost pulling him out of the boat: "Oh, hell! Something really bites!"

Su You quickly put away his rod: "Release the rod, then shake the wheel and close the thread, then lift the rod, slowly drag the fish away from the sea bottom, don't let them break the thread!"

The two began to pluck their cheeks and exercise their strength. Sun Neng had never experienced such a situation and shouted: "What is this? Why are you so strong?!"

Su You had already put the line up and directed the two: "Distribute it and don't wrap the line, just waste it like this."

The shouting at the stern of the boat attracted everyone. Li Shunju was shocked when he saw this attitude: "Mingrun, do you really have a friendship with the Dragon King? Have you caught a big fish again?!"

Su You thought to himself that this might be the first time that humans caught big fish from the deep sea of ​​corals, so I'm afraid there are not too many.

If there were no wire wires, the fish underwater would have cut the fish wires with their teeth and ran away.

The two silly boys were still raising their rods and shaking their wheels wildly, and Su You were preparing for the big net and preparing to capture them alive.

After a while, the flat and strong fish was finally shaken to the water. It was a benthic fish of more than 30 kilograms, and its orange-red body was covered with dark dots.

Red grouper.

Suyou picked up the fish with a big net and placed it on the deck, took a hollow needle, and quickly pricked it from the side of the fish body.

"What is this for?" Wang Shao asked.

Su You said: "Defy air, the pressure on the bottom surface of the water is different. If you release the air from the fish bladder, the fish will not be squeezed into the internal organs by the bloated fish bladder."

"Ah?" Wang Shao's eyes were filled with stars: "Is there such a statement?"

Regardless of whether there is any such statement, Su Oil deflated the red grouper and put it in a large tank on the boat.

The large tank is cement, with thick glass on one side, and a delicate small boiler is burned on the side, driving the circulation filtering device. There are already many snail clams, sea urchins, sponges, and some beautiful small sea fish that Shi Wei likes.

The big grouper swam inside, and the group of people focused on the fish. Sun Neng was making a fuss: "Hey, no one is thinking about helping me?"

No one pays attention to him. We are all civil officials. You are the generals. You don’t know what kind of treatment is given by the generals in the Song Dynasty?

Ping Zhengsheng took the copy net from Su You: "Ganchen works hard, I'll help you!"
