"Xiao, why don't you let us collect crab cages?" Nikita asked Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng looked at Nikita: "let's do something else. Let's just take the crab cage. I'll tell you that one person dies every seven days during the crab season. More than 80% of the deaths and injuries on a crab boat occur when the crab cages are collected. This is the most dangerous time. You think, such a heavy crab cage coupled with the wind and waves shaking, you can accidentally crush people to death. So you two should stay away from me

Nikita curled her lips after hearing this: "still look down on us, I think the other people on the boat are doing very easy!"

"Relaxed?" Xiao Peng pointed out the window: "a full harvest crab cage weighs about seven or eight hundred jin! Almost every crab catcher on a crab replenishing ship is injured when he returns home

"But you always want us to do something, my father said we should work like ordinary fishermen, no!" What do you mean by Georgina staring at Yang Meng? Want to show off in front of Yang Meng? Is this woman really in the brain?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Peng took out two calipers and handed them to Nikita and Georgina: "you are in charge of the measurement. Throw the female crab and the small male crab back into the sea. Remember to wear gloves. This pair of pliers is not for fun. Also, pay attention to safety and keep away from crab cages! "

Two girls went out with calipers. Yang Meng turned back and said, "is it too dangerous to let them go out? Now the waves are not small. "

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "what's wrong? Heartache? "

After hearing this, Yang Meng was anxious: "ah, bah! I'm afraid they will affect work efficiency! When they finish sorting, this winter is over. You see, you see, they dare not take crabs

Yang Meng's worry is not unreasonable. Although it is a traditional way to catch crabs with crab cages, with modern technology, the efficiency is still very fast. A crab cage can be put up from the bottom of the sea in eight minutes. And the most time-consuming thing is sorting.

In order to maintain sustainable development, for example, the king crab of Alaska and the snow crab of Alaska keep only the big male crab, while the female crab and the immature male crab are thrown back into the sea. In addition, different crabs should be divided into different categories. There are not only snow crabs, but also king crabs, treasure crabs and other crabs. Therefore, all crabs must be sorted before entering the warehouse. This is the most time-consuming process in crab catching.

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "worry about a fart. It's not just the two of them who are doing the work. Let them experience life. Go to the next crab cage. Finish early and go on the road early. By the way, I'll leave some female crabs and let's eat them ourselves

Fourteen hours later, in the dining room on the ship, Xiao Peng looked at Georgina sympathetically. She was holding a garbage can and spitting.

He kept saying that he was not seasick. As a result, when he was working on the deck, he even swayed with the fishy smell of the crab caught. Georgina couldn't hold it back. She was crying out loud.

Xiaoqiu took seasickness medicine and an orange and came over: "take seasickness medicine, and then take an orange, can relieve a lot."

After helping Georgina pour water, Nikita said, "this seasickness belongs to the vestibular nerve problem of the human body. Just take the medicine. How can I eat an orange?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Xiaoqiu, Nikita is right. Seasickness is a neurological problem. Eating fruit is useless. It's just a psychological effect."

When Xiaoqiu heard this, he turned his mouth and said, "I don't know good people. You don't eat me."

Xiao Peng laughed and took an orange from his side: "who said he would not eat it. This orange is a good thing. I don't know how many people were saved in those years. Nikita, Georgina, I suggest you eat more oranges. It's good for sailing

Nikita asked curiously, "what's the benefit?"

Xiao Peng explained: "in ancient times, due to the backwardness of navigation technology, ships sailed for a long time at that time, and there was no way to store fresh food materials, so scurvy was very easy to occur in the Western navigational circles. It was not septicemia. This scurvy is vitamin C deficiency. So far, at least millions of Western navigators have died of the disease. For example, in 1740, British admiral George Anson led a huge fleet of more than 2000 crew members around the world. As a result, only one ship and a little crew were left. Almost all people died of scurvy, and those who came back alive were also scurvy patients. When Magellan traveled around the world, most of his crew died of scurvy. Only 18 people survived in a fleet of more than 200 people

"At that time, in order to cure the scurvy, the navigators went to the doctor in a hurry. Some people thought that the rats on board were not affected by scurvy, and they thought that there was a factor to cure scurvy in the mice. So all the rats on board could be sold at a high price. Some people took a bath with fish blood; some chose to release blood from their bodies; some chose to drink honey; others held various activities Various religious rituals drive away diseases; some people think that the air in the cabin is not fresh, so they sleep on the deck every day; others choose to play with their lives and drink too much. I've come up with all kinds of ways to fight scurvy. "

"Wait a minute? Is alcoholism a cure? Isn't that self abandonment? " Nikita asked.Xiao Peng nodded: "believe me, among all the treatments I just mentioned, alcoholism is the best treatment. Did you see the movie Pirates of the Caribbean? Those pirates inside drink rum every day, and this rum is fruit wine, so it is really helpful for the treatment of scurvy. In fact, the treatment of scurvy is really very simple, as long as appropriate vitamin C supplement, eat more fruits and vegetables can be cured. But at that time, the fruits and vegetables rotted very quickly, so the food of the Western fleet at that time was mainly bread and bacon, so it's no wonder that scurvy was not strange - didn't you see that in the cartoon "pirate king", they all planted orange trees on the ship? Of course, it's much better now. The refrigeration technology is so good, no vegetables and fruits are not afraid of corruption, and the speed of ships is also fast, so there will not be as many people died of scurvy as in ancient times

Nikita looked at the orange in her hand for a long time, and suddenly found a problem: "wait a minute! What did you say about western navigation? As far as I know, your country also has long voyages. Since the Sui Dynasty, there has been the so-called "maritime Silk Road". Have you not been troubled by scurvy

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "first of all, to correct you, the" maritime Silk Road "actually existed as early as the spring and Autumn period. At that time, we had an ancient country called the seven kingdoms, and a king of Qi called Qi HuanGong, who was known as one of the" five tyrants of the spring and Autumn Period ". When he was in power, he opened up a" golden channel "in Jiaodong Peninsula, including Liaodong Peninsula and Japan, Up to Southeast Asia. Later, the maritime trade in the Qin Dynasty was mainly the sea trade between the Qin Dynasty and the South Yue State. The South Yue country was the Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan Island in China today, so it was not ocean going. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "maritime Silk Road" in China began to go abroad. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was as far as Sri Lanka, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was directly there Third class places in India. So our country's marine trade developed earlier than you think....... However, you are right in one point. No matter what period, our Chinese ocean fleet has never been troubled by scurvy. "

"Why is that?" After listening to Georgina on one side, she was also curious. At this time, she did not vomit, but asked Xiao Peng curiously.

Xiao Peng said with a relaxed face: "who let us Chinese people eat since ancient times? Are fresh vegetables perishable? It doesn't matter! We pickle pickles; besides porcelain, what is the most popular export trade in China? Tea! Tea is rich in vitamin C! Oh, and most importantly, we Chinese are smart. Our ancestors can produce fresh vegetables on the boat

"Produce fresh vegetables?" Nikita's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng nodded: "yes, beans are easy to store, right? Take more beans, no vegetables, bean sprouts directly to eat, not to mention the taste, but also to supplement vitamins. Therefore, scurvy, which is a headache for the whole western maritime industry, is nothing to us in China! "

Nikita suddenly seemed to think of something: "Xiao, that's not right. Corn and potatoes are also rich in vitamin C, which was discovered and popularized by Columbus in 1492. About a hundred years later, potatoes were also discovered and popularized in South America, which should be good ingredients for the treatment of scurvy? And it's easy to store. Why is scurvy still bothering the west? "

After hearing this, Xiao Peng burst out laughing: "who makes you Westerners arrogant? In the eyes of the people at that time, the corn and potato were both native to America. These things could only be used as feed and slave food, so they didn't eat them at all. Even so, in 1747, James Linde, the founder of British health science, found a way to treat scurvy, and published a famous paper on scurvy. However, arrogant Westerners simply did not believe him. Could the incurable disease of millions of people be solved by a few oranges? It was not until 1912 that vitamin C completely defeated scurvy. Now, a few oranges, a handful of soybeans, a few corn and a few potatoes can solve the problem, but it has become a problem in the West for more than a decade. Should I say that Westerners are persistent and arrogant, or are they stupid? "

Nikita puckered up and said, "Xiao, why are you still armed with a stick in your mouth? My sister and I are what you call 'Westerners'! "

Xiao Peng said to Georgina, "is Georgina not arrogant?"

Georgina also wanted to refute, but she vomited so much that her eyes suddenly turned: "Xiao, you all say that you Chinese people can eat it. Can you make a delicious dish out of this orange?"

Xiao pengle said: "challenge? Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll open your eyes! "
