Chapter 8 Family Dinner
It was fine when I returned to the dock. Today, there were not many fishermen going out to sea during the Dragon Boat Festival, and even the fishmongers who had been squatting at the dock for a long time went home to celebrate the festival.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Xia Yu and his son, and saves a lot of trouble.
When Xia Mingguang took the fishing catch in the water tank to the insulated box and bucket at home, he still told him, "Ayu, please consider it yourself. Don't make it too silly when you go home."
"I know, but today I still have to eat better during the holidays." Xia Yu replied.
"Then you can do it yourself." Xia Mingguang was helpless and a little proud.
Xia Yu nodded and said yes, and Xia Mingguang suddenly remembered again, "Also, remember to keep the seafood in Zhouji Restaurant, they are quite trustworthy."
"I can't forget it. When I came back, Brother Chen told me not to eat up all the good things. I'll deliver them to me in person if I can deliver them myself." Xia Yu said with a smile.
Xia Mingguang nodded, seeing that Xia Yu had no intention of putting his harvest in the bucket or in the incubator today, he did not urge him. He himself was also a little worried that it would be a bit bad if he met someone else on the way.
After getting ashore, Xia Mingguang drove a motorcycle and asked Xia Yu to get a bucket and an insulated box. He was almost home in just over three minutes. The big yellow dog was the first to rush out when he heard the sound, wagging his tail and barking to welcome them home.
Xia Mingguang drove the motorcycle directly into the yard, waited for him to park the car, and looked back at the bucket in Xia Yu's hand. He had made magic tricks before, and the golden lobster of about two and a half pounds was the most conspicuous...
Xia Xue didn't appear slowly when she heard the sound, and she was still the same person who always arrived before she could hear the sound. "My dad and brother must have gained a lot today!"
After Xia Xue, wearing a kitchen apron, rushed out and saw the big lobster in the bucket at a glance. She shouted excitedly, "Wow! Golden Legend! My brother is so awesome."
"Overall, the third in the world!" Xia Yu was not humble either and replied with a smile. Xia Xue's judgment was correct. It is basically difficult to catch such a large lobster when fishing.
This Dragon Boat Festival, mugwort and the others had already hung them on the wall and door in the morning. Xia Mingguang turned his head and closed the yard door, and also told Xia Xue, "Xiaoxue, don't just watch it, put them in the fish tank first."
Xia Xue was silly and said yes, she went to buy the fish tank at home, which was particularly beautiful. Of course, buying fish tanks at home is not for the sake of good looks or decorative fish as pets. It is equipped with an oxygen supply machine, which is prepared for high-end wild seafood. In addition to the catch of her own, Xia Mingguang will also help collect some wild seafood and then send it to Mingji Seafood Restaurant. You must know that dead seafood is not that valuable.
Xia Yu naturally took action together, and the two brothers and sisters classified each other and counted the morning harvest. If the blue crab and conch are not easy to die, they don’t have to go into the fish tank. Other grouper Shi Jiugong fish must be kept in the fish tank.
Xia Xue naturally didn't forget to praise her father well. His performance this morning was also quite brilliant. The person who wanted to be a food up owner praised her, "I like Shi Jiugong's soup the most. It is extremely delicious and nutritious and healthy, rich in protein, and it is even better to supplement minerals for parents. The rice dumplings have been cooked in the pot, so let's make Shi Jiugong's tofu soup later."
As for the preciousness of wild grouper, her nutrition and deliciousness are not needed to say much!
Xia Xue said that after he was making the soup, Xia Mingguang, who was happy, took two Shi Jiugongs to deal with it first.
The things Xia Yu took out were quite particular, and he didn't catch a car with him at all.
But Xia Xue often sees seafood such as big blue crabs, coconut snails, moray eels, and moray eels, but she is not surprised. What she cares most about is this beautiful lobster. After counting all the catches, she also asked Xia Yu, "Brother, are you going to deliver this lobster to the restaurant or what?"
"What are we giving, let's eat it ourselves!" Xia Yu said magnanimously.
"Is this lobster so big, isn't it too extravagant to eat it yourself?" Xia Xue glanced at her mother Chen Fuqiong just came.
"Today's holiday, we are not allowed to be extravagant!" Xia Yu said with a smile, "My parents will definitely not have any objections!"
Xia Mingguang never said this. During the holidays, Chen Fuqiong rarely scolded him for being a loser. He just said, "If you want to eat, you have to wait for everyone to eat together at night. Ayu waited and took a nap and drove to pick up his grandmother and the others for dinner."
Xia Yu said yes, Xia Xue immediately began to think about how to eat better! Then she realized that she had not taken photos or videos yet. When she took out her phone, she also asked Xia Yu, "Did you take videos with your brother?"
"I can't get over it. I took some sunrise videos when I went out to sea. Don't be too silly, Xiaoxue is now in a fishing moratorium."
"I know, I just say it's the one we caught in the sea! Also, I'll post it to me after the video." Xia Xue responded. She naturally knew the importance and knew better what her brother's best fishing method was.
After Xia Yu reminded him, he didn't care about that much. Xia's mother asked him to go back to the house to take a shower and have some rest, saying that the meal would be ready soon.
This also gave Xia Yu a reminder that he would have to reserve more fresh water in the space in the future. Today he did not think of using fresh water inside to rinse his body. The water used at home was not the tap water that was connected outside, but the well he dug at home, built a large pool on the roof and pumped it up. It was no different from tap water when used.
The lunch that day was not very rich. Zongzi was the main meal, Shi Jiugong made soup with tofu, stir-fried meat with carrots, braised moray eels, and fried red amaranth.
The evening party is a big meal, and Xia Xue had already communicated with her cousin Chen Wenjie and her cousin Chen Wenxiu, and made sufficient preparations for the barbecue that young people like.
After lunch, they all went back to the house to take a nap for a while, and Xia Yu also lay down and slept for an hour. He consumed a lot of energy this morning, and his energy and energy were consumed. After returning to eat and drink, he immediately became lively again. He did not forget to pay attention to the situation in the space at any time. The animals and plants were alive well, and some of his test results were also revealed. The most conspicuous thing was the growth rate of the vegetables inside, which was a bit visible to the naked eye. The fish were not that obvious, and the area of the space was indeed increasing.
This is naturally a good thing for him. The larger the space, the better, and he can use it completely. The only thing he is worried about is whether his mental strength can keep up, and he needs to exercise in a step-by-step manner.
After getting off the nap, he drove to his uncle's house alone.
Chenjia Village where my uncle Chen Fuqiang is located is about twenty minutes away from them. They belong to the inland sea and each family has contracted mudflats. Now during the fishing moratorium period, in addition to rushing overseas, you can also cage fish in their respective sea areas.
Xia Yu's grandparents died early. As for his grandfather, he had never seen him. His grandmother, who was only 75 years old, was alive and in good health and spirit. He also helped his uncle's house wash and cook.
He drove directly outside their yard. After shouting, he pushed open the yard door with ease and went in. His uncle and his family were there, and he greeted him enthusiastically, "Ayu is here!"
"Cousin, will you have any lobsters to eat later?" Chen Wenxiu looked at Wenwen quietly, but when she opened her mouth, she exposed her foodie's nature. She is now in her freshman year, but her school is not in Yuhai City, but in the Normal University in Haizhu City.
"Yes! I caught it today and eat better during the holidays." Xia Yu didn't have to think about it and knew that it was because his sister Xia Xue posted it on WeChat Moments. This is also considered to be the result of his death!
Chen Wenxiu said happily, "My cousin is so awesome!"
The grandmother with silver hair smiled and said, "It's time to say that Ayu is willing to do so. I saw the photos of Xiaoxue's lobsters weighing about two and a half pounds, and it should be sold for 1,000 yuan!"
Xia Yu smiled and replied, "Actually, it's quite small, and one person can only taste one or two."
"You can make soup for lobsters on the head and tail. If you want to say the most delicious thing, you should eat sashimi. The fried food is also very fragrant." Chen Wenxiu said with a sleek look. I wonder if he had discussed it with Xia Xue and the other two. The two girls have similar status at home.
Only my aunt Dong Xiaoyue could cure Chen Wenxiu a little, and asked her to clean up quickly and go over to help her aunt and cousin. Chen Wenxiu went with a smile and asked Xia Yu to wait for her for a while.
After Chen Wenxiu left, everyone could talk more at ease. The black and thin cousin Chen Wenjie was only two months older than Xia Yu, but his academic performance was not good and he was not interested in studying. He believed that he was not a good student, so he helped at home after high school. He had done everything. He used fish steaks to raise oysters at home, and followed Chen Fuqiang to fish in the sea. During this period, he got some cages every day to drive the sea. He could gain some results, but it was unstable.
What my uncle and his family are most worried about now is Chen Wenjie's lifelong affairs. Even though he has just reached the legal marriage age, he also asked Xia Yu that he had found a girlfriend without this, and he also asked him to hurry up...
Xia Yu said he was not in a hurry and he and his cousin were so young, so he should make a career and then consider personal issues.
But even my grandmother said, "Getting up a family and starting a family is the first, you both must hurry up!"
Xia Yu guessed that she wanted to hug her great-grandson earlier, and Chen Wenjie was not very interested in this matter, but fortunately this topic did not last long.
Since Xia Xue had already notified Chen Wenxiu that she wanted to do barbecue, her uncle's family also prepared seafood, her own oysters, and the pipi shrimps, shrimps, and octopus caught in the morning were not sold. These are seafood that is particularly suitable for barbecue.
Older fishermen like Chen Fuqiang and others still like authentic seafood when eating seafood, and the simplest way to cook steam and make soup. But it can’t help but young people like to eat barbecue. Chen Wenxiu and Xia Xue are like foodies, and they like to make delicious food in different ways when they are at home.
After Chen Wenxiu packed up, Chen Wenjie and Xia Yu had already put all the prepared barbecue ingredients in the car.
