After dinner, the Vladimir was still brightly lit.

They did not immediately rest, but busied themselves with providing supplies for Vladimir. Xiao Peng didn't even book a hotel for everyone and just asked them to stay on the boat. Yang Meng's idea of a cannibal was completely dashed.

Xiao Peng, on the other hand, was in a good mood as he stayed in the cabin to farm tweets. It was quite interesting to interact with the friends of the State of Stars and Strikes.

Alright, rather than saying that it was an interaction, it would be more accurate to say that Xiao Peng unilaterally sent out delicacies, causing everyone to cry out in envy.

Just as Xiao Peng was enjoying himself, someone knocked on the door. "Come in!"

Wang Xuan pushed open the door and entered, "Boss, someone is looking for you." Xiao Peng looked behind him. Who else could it be but Maxim?

"Maxim, why did you come here? Please take a seat. I wonder why you're looking for me?" Xiao Peng called out.

"Captain Shaw, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that the cabin with the fishing boat would be as comfortable as yours."

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "It's not just my cabin. Although the crew's cabin is a little small, I can guarantee that it will definitely be very comfortable. You can take a look."

Maxim smiled and shook his head. "I believe Captain Shaw. You're such a good man to the crew. "

Xiao Peng did not deny it: "Going out to sea is a very difficult thing to do. With so many crew members following me to live, I don't want them to suffer with me. Do you have any business with your late night visit, Maxim? "

Maxim was about to speak when there was another knock at the door.

It was still Wang Xuan who came in. "Boss, there's someone looking for you again."

This time, two people followed Wang Xuan inside, Nielsen and Sean. As the two of them entered the cabin, they glared at each other. Just as they were about to speak to Xiao Peng, they saw that Maxim was also there. Now, the three of them began to look at each other. The atmosphere was very subtle.

Maxim snorted. "What are you doing here?"

"The same reason as you!" Nielsen and Sean said in unison. Then, the three of them began to look at each other.

Xiao Peng laughed in his heart, but he still asked, "I wonder why the three of you have come to find me tonight?"

The three of them just stared at each other. None of them spoke first. Xiao Peng shook his head, "If the three of you have nothing else, then please go back. I want to rest early."

Maxim took a deep breath. "Well, Captain Shaw, if I'm not mistaken, the three of us came for the same reason. For your tuna."

Xiao Peng said, "Everyone, as you can see, I'm currently making supplies to prepare to go back to Huaxia. I can completely sell my own fish, can't I?"

However, Maxim said, "Captain Xiao, I have been in Port Pietro Pavlovsk for nearly thirty years, and this is the first time I have seen you, which means that you have come from the south. If I am not mistaken, there are only two possibilities, the first is that you wish to have a good time in the Kamchatka Peninsula, after all, the tourist resources here are excellent, and the second is that you want to go to the Bering Sea. But if you insist on going back to Huaxia, wouldn't that be too much of a pity? "

"You're right." Xiao Peng did not deny it: "I originally planned on playing around. I wanted to play Kamchatka and at the same time go to Bering Sea, but this is not the reason why I am selling my catch cheaply. You all know, I don't always have this kind of luck, catching this kind of big guy isn't it? "So I would rather run more and earn more, where can I go to play with money?"

Maxim nodded his head, "Captain Xiao is right, but I have a Chinese friend who once told me that it's impossible to buy an inch of money with just a bit of time. The next time you come here to play, your mentality must be different, right?"

"I would rather suffer in my heart than in my purse." At this moment, Xiao Peng had the expression of a miser. Xiao Peng felt that it didn't matter if he had more money or less towards his friends, but they weren't related to him in any way, so why should I take advantage of him?

Maxim glanced at Nielsen and Sean. "Our goldfish fishing company is willing to pay a high price for this fish."

"What's the price?" Xiao Peng asked.

Maxim thought for a moment. "Seventy-five dollars a pound!"

Xiao Peng calculated in his heart. Hmm, it almost caught up with the retail price. The market price for Bluefin Tuna was only around six hundred to one thousand two hundred Jin. Of course, that depended on the quality of the fish.

Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Nielsen directly said, "We are willing to pay seventy-six dollars!"

Sean said, "Seventy-seven dollars."

The three of them were completely disgraced and started raising their prices. Soon, the price was almost one hundred dollars per pound. At first, the three people were bidding slowly with one dollar each, but soon, their eyes turned red with envy.

"I'll pay two hundred dollars!" Nielsen suddenly doubled the price!

"Are you crazy?" Sean and Maxim yelled at Nelson in unison. Sean stared at Nelson and said, "The fish for the first time this spring is only a hundred dollars a pound!" Your price will compensate you in full! Aren't you afraid that old Wharton will jump up from the bed with a cane and break your legs? " The old Wharton he was referring to was the founder of Wharton's fishing industry.

Nielsen smiled at the two of them and said, "Think of me as a madman. What I want to say is, are there any other bidders? If not, this fish is mine. "

Shawn and Maxim shook their heads, bid farewell to Xiao Peng and left cursing.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Nielsen smiled and asked, "I wonder if Captain Xiao is satisfied with this price?"

Xiao Peng had a face full of doubt, "I should say that I am very satisfied. I would be very satisfied even if I can get the land with this price, but I really don't understand. Mr. Nielsen, why did you buy this fish at such a high price? "To be honest, I believe that you're willing to pay a hundred dollars. I'm a little surprised to have it since this is just a normal [A] class fish after all, isn't it?"

Pirate countries had 2% of the population of the world, but they used 10% of the world's fishery energy. It could be seen that they could eat a lot of fish, especially tuna, they had already eaten their fill, which meat was the most delicious, which meat was the most expensive, and which meat was also clearly divided according to the amount of fat, with the tuna ranks being incomparably meticulously divided. The A grade tuna meat was also an ordinary tuna, up to S grade, SS grade, SSS grade.

As for tuna below [B] class, most of them were problematic.

There are only two possibilities for a B grade. First, if the fish is stored inappropriately, the myoglobin in the fish pigment will be oxidized to myoglobin and the color will turn bright red to brown. The taste and commodity value of the protein will be greatly reduced.

The second reason was that the bleeding wasn't timely. Compared to other fishes, tuna was bigger in size, more athletic, and its blood temperature was higher. If it was caught, it would struggle, and the temperature in the center of the body would rise rapidly. If they were not given blood, the lighter ones would have an increased sour taste, and the heavier ones would have a marked change in color. Especially if the blood vessels near the spine burst and the blood entered the muscle tissue, a thrombus would form and the fish would become fishy and sour, seriously affecting their taste. Prices have also been seriously affected.

Of the three main methods of capture, only tuna fishing was the best way to maintain the meat quality of the tuna. After catching the tuna, the fish would be directly killed and the limit would be maintained to the maximum extent.

As for longline and netting, both of them would die for a long time before being harvested, which would affect the quality of the fish. Although longline fishing was the most common practice among pirate tuna fishing, because the fishing gear of the longline fishing line stretched for tens of kilometers, it was impossible to pick up the fish immediately after they were lowered. They would usually stay in the sea for a few days, so it was very likely that the fish had already been dead for several days, so their quality would naturally be affected.

As for the enclosures, they may be better than longlines, but conditions such as the fishing of tuna in the net can seriously affect the quality of the fish. Furthermore, the encirclement wasn't a short period of time, it was impossible for him to retract the net directly like Xiao Peng did.

To put it another way, the Ou people blame the decrease in the amount of tuna on the besieging operations of foreign fishing vessels, saying the decrease was due to besieging operations. However, no one knew that if there was no trade, there would be no murder. Ninety percent of the world's bluefin tuna had already entered the bellies of the poor people.

Hearing Xiao Peng's question, Nielsen smiled and replied, "I heard a Chinese saying that makes me like it a lot. It said, go for the ride and change the bike into a motorcycle." I also want to take a gamble. "

"Then your risk seems to be really not small. The price you gave me caught up to the auction price." The price of tuna was indeed very chaotic. Once, there was a 222-kilogram bluefin tuna which sold for a sky-high price of 1.8 million meters. That's 7,200 metres a pound, but there's a lot of water at that price.

At the time, the Japanese government was promoting more people into the tuna fishing industry through such pricey tuna auctions.

However, the majority of tuna prices were only a few tens of thousands of dollars. Compared to the inflated prices, these prices were a huge blow to the enthusiasm of the practitioners and also a huge impact to the pirate cuisine industry. For this reason, the government had to step in to control the price and forbid any more exorbitant auctions.

No matter what, Xiao Peng's Bluefin Tuna would sell for $16 even if it weighed 800 pounds. It was way more expensive than the market price and was about to be auctioned off.

Nielsen sighed. "Captain Xiao, you're right. The risk is not small, but I have to put my life on the line for now."

"I'd like to hear more about it." Xiao Peng handed Nielsen a cigarette and lit one for himself.
