Chapter 8 A wisp of blue smoke attracts friends [Part 1]
"What is this? It looks like a centipede."
"This is a centipede sea snake."
"This thing is poisonous, right?"
"Yeah, it's also poisonous. The head, tail and these legs are poisonous, and only the body can eat it."
"What is this? It's not small."
"This is a genetically mutated dolphin."
"Oh, no wonder it looks familiar, but it has two horns, which is weird. By the way, is this thing poisonous?"
"It's also poisonous. The internal organs are poisonous and there are a small amount of toxins in the meat. You can't eat fresh food. You can only dry it into dried meat. When the meat feels dry, sprinkle some medicinal wine on it and mix the toxins so that you can eat it."
"...Do you have any poisonous fish here?"
"...Yes! The shrimps are not poisonous!"
Wu Dong was depressed directly. He didn't expect that Yuxing's marine fish were all poisonous fish. In this case, how many people dared to eat it? No wonder the fishery on Siji Island is so depressed.
However, Wu Dong was not giving up. He felt that since there were fishermen on the island to catch fishing products, he thought there was still a certain market for the fishery industry. So after he said goodbye to the first fisherman, he found other fishermen to learn about some situations, especially on the sales of poisonous fish, he conducted a careful investigation.
Finally, Wu Dong confirmed that the fishing industry on Siji Island does have a certain market, because poisonous fish is the cheapest food on the island. Although it contains toxins, it tastes delicious as long as it is carefully treated and cooked carefully.
However, poisonous fish are poisonous after all. Even if some people dare to eat and like it, they cannot eat it often. Therefore, only a small part of these fishermen will sell them when they catch poisonous fish, and most of the remaining poisonous fish are eaten by themselves or used to feed livestock.
In addition, it is popular to eat a kind of kelp on Siji Island, which is scientifically called detoxification kelp, commonly known as bitter kelp, which tastes very, very bitter! It is simply like bitter gallbladder. The reason why this bitter kelp is very popular on Siji Island is mainly because people on Siji Island often eat poisonous fish. Although they eat non-toxic parts, in order to avoid poisoning, people often disinfect, detoxify, and detoxify. Eating it often is harmless and can also strengthen the stomach.
A kind-hearted old fisherman gave Wu Dong a bitter kelp for free. It was fresh and uncooked. Wu Dong took a bite and was immediately full of bitterness. He almost vomited out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
"Phhh..." Wu Dong spitted one after another, but the bitter taste in his mouth did not dissipate for a long time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Hahaha, young man, this bitter kelp must be steamed before it can be eaten. If you eat it raw, the bitter taste is too strong and you can't stand it." said the old fisherman who gave Wu Dong bitter kelp.
"Old man, please say it earlier." Wu Dong complained, then looked at the bitter kelp strip in his hand, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then said to the old fisherman: "Old man, is this bitter kelp easy to sell on the island?"
"This is OK, but I can only say that I can sell it for a small amount of money, but I can't sell it for a big amount of money." said the old fisherman.
"What if it is exported and sold abroad? Do you think there is any profit?" Wu Dong asked tentatively.
"Don't think about it, only people here eat this thing, but who else from other places eat this?" said the old fisherman disapproved.
"...I'm talking about that." Wu Dong said with some disappointment.
…………
Wu Dong returned from the pier disappointed. On the way home, he happened to see a fisherman selling poisonous fish. However, these poisonous fish were treated, either without a head or a tail or a body. In short, the trafficking was a part of the poisonous fish that can be eaten, and the poisonous fish were intercepted.
Wu Dong walked up to ask the price curiously, and it was indeed very cheap. One kilogram of fish only costs 120 yuan, which is 2-8 times cheaper than vegetables. However, even if it is so cheap, the fish was not very popular.
Out of curiosity, Wu Dong bought a kilogram of fish and was given two bitter kelp at the same time. The seller and fishermen repeatedly told him how to cook, so that Wu Dong would not cook incorrectly and make a pot of poisonous meal.
Afterwards, Wu Dong returned home and took a short rest, then started cooking fish. First, he lived in a large pot of hot water, put a piece of bitter kelp, and then cut the fish into pieces and put it in the pot. After stewing for half an hour, he took out the fish.
Next, you can cook according to normal cooking methods, fry, stir-fry, and fry them. You only need to eat some bitter kelp after the meal to detoxify.
Of course, the bitter kelp used after the meal is also cooked, and the cooking method is very simple. Just steam it. It is best to dip it in soy sauce and vinegar when eating, otherwise the bitter taste will still be very heavy.
After an hour of busy life, Wu Dong finally had a poisonous fish banquet, a sweet and sour poisonous fish, a fried poisonous fish and a fried poisonous fish ball. Overall, the taste was quite good!
But I still need to eat a few bites of bitter kelp after the meal, which completely ruined my mood. After a piece of steamed bitter kelp was in my mouth, it was suddenly full of bitterness. Although it tasted a lot of bitterness and vinegar, it was still very cool, and he was so bitter that he shed tears.
"Grandma, it's so bitter!" Wu Dong said as he picked up the water cup beside the table, took a few mouthfuls, took a breath, and said to himself: "It turns out to be the same as the old man said, only locals can eat this thing, and outsiders will definitely retreat."
…………
At night, Wu Dong, who was extremely bored, climbed up to the top of the stairs, lit the charcoal stove, put on the barbecue rack, and blew the barbecue on the roof, eating barbecue, drinking beer, and enjoying the stars in the sky.
When on Earth, at night, the moon is bright in the sky. Rain stars are rarely seen, but Rain stars are different. The current Rain stars are still in the development stage. There are not many lights on the ground and the air is very fresh. Therefore, people on Rain stars can feast their eyes on the night sky.
"Hey! Brother, add me one." Suddenly a voice sounded at night, and the sound was not far from Wu Dong.
Wu Dong looked sideways and saw that the neighbors in the south of his house were standing on the roof opposite, fat, not tall, and carrying a bag of things in his hand.
"Ah, hello." Wu Dong greeted.
As soon as Wu Dong finished saying hello, the person on the second floor opposite suddenly jumped and jumped from the roof of the opposite floor to the roof of Wu Dong's second floor. He walked to Wu Dong with a smile and said, "Hehe, I just saw you being barbecued, so I'll join in the fun too, don't you mind?"
"Haha, I'm bored. Someone is here to chat with us. I'm very welcome." Wu Dong said and stood up, and then said, "My name is Wu Dong, I just moved here."
"My name is Dongyu. It's winter and rainy. I have just moved here. There is no one on this island who knows me, but I'm so suffocating." said the fat man named Dongyu.
"A coincidence, I don't have an acquaintance, I'm bored and bored, so I went to the roof to make barbecue." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"I saw you barbecue on the rooftop, and then I ran over to join in the fun. Haha, by the way, I brought some food." Dong Yu said, putting the small bag in her hand on the small dining table, untiing the bag, revealing a bunch of things, most of which were snacks and a few cans of beer.
"Well, there is still a stool. You can sit here first, I'll go down to get one." After Wu Dong finished speaking, he almost stopped going downstairs, so he took out a small stool, took out the stewed fish stored in the refrigerator, and then climbed up to the top of the stairs again.
When Wu Dong climbed up to the top of the stairs again, he found that Dong Yu was no longer alone on the stairs, but another one more, and he was an acquaintance! It turned out to be the old fisherman who gave him free kelp in the morning.
"Oh, old man, you are here." Wu Dong greeted.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that we were still neighbors. I lived in the building north of you. I just saw smoke coming from you and thought it was on fire. I climbed up the stairs and found that it was this little fat man who was barbecuing, so I came to join in the fun. But the little fat man said that he couldn't make the decision..." The old fisherman said a moment, and Wu Dong immediately understood it and hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome, old man, come, sit down."
Wu Dong said as he placed the newly brought small stool near the small table, and the old fisherman was not polite, so he sat down, glanced at the beer on the table, and said, "Is there anything white? We can't get used to the beer."
"Yes, yes, I'll go down and get it." Wu Dong greeted, then quickly went downstairs again, took out a small stool again, took out two bottles of white wine from the refrigerator, and then quickly climbed to the top of the stairs.
However, when Wu Dong appeared on the roof again, he was shocked to find that there was another person on the roof! This time he was a girl or boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with short golden hair and black eyes, and he looked like a mixed-race child. "She" was wearing a men's short shirt and half pants, which looked like a man, but his face was very tender, his throat was not prominent, and his chest was slightly bulging, making it difficult to tell whether "She" was a man or a woman.
"Hey, Angkor, another one comes. This is the neighbor behind your house. Now, the neighbor opposite you is not here." The little fat man Dongyu said with a smile.
"Hahaha, welcome, welcome." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"My name is Li Bin, the polite Bin is the one with the word Lin and three strokes. Also, I am a female." The girl named Li Bin blocked her chest with her left hand, obviously she noticed Wu Dong was looking at her breasts.
"Ahhaha... Hello, hello, my name is Wu Dong, I'm very happy to know you." Wu Dong said with awkward smile, then put down the small stool and said, "This, sit down, I'll go down and get one."
"Please trouble you." said the girl named Li Bin.
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Dong responded, and put the two bottles of white wine in his hand on the small table and said to the fisherman old man: "Old man, your white one."
"Well, it's good to have white wine, but it's the right thing to do." The old man said with a smile.
Then, Wu Dong went downstairs and took a small stool to the top of the stairs. This was the last small stool in his house. It was the same as the small table, a small square table with four small stools. Now, if there is another uninvited guest, Wu Dong can only let the other party squat, or squat himself.
