Chapter 9 Unpretentious
After picking up grandmother, cousin and cousin home, Chen Wenxiu and Xia Xue immediately gathered together to discuss making food.
Their cousins grew up together since childhood. At that time, the adults were busy going out to sea to fish, and their grandmother took care of their four children alone, which caused many troubles to the elderly. Fortunately, since Xia Yu became sensible, the situation gradually improved.
Children who grew up by the sea can "rush to the sea" since childhood, and there is only this kind of entertainment. They have been doing barbecue since childhood. The crabs they touched were eventually roasted and turned into Chinese food for their greedy children.
My hardworking grandmother is a person who can't sit idle. Now during the fishing moratorium, everyone has nothing to do. They are talking and laughing, and we will work together to enjoy the fun of family reunion.
After the two girls Xia Xue and Chen Wenxiu discussed, they also asked Xia Yu to go to the town to buy some items they needed, such as butter, cumin, lemon, etc. Xia Mingguang also asked him to buy some beer, so Xia Yu acted with Chen Wenjie and asked him if there was anything new in his hometown on the way.
Chen Wenjie didn't talk much, and he also said that there was nothing new in his hometown. "I basically rely on the circle of friends to understand the situation. When fishermen get good goods, they post them in the circle of friends and groups. When the bosses see what they like..."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is good, and you will lose the middlemen to make a difference."
Chen Wenjie and the others haven't gone out of the sea for more than a month, so they just rushed to the sea to get up the ground cage every day, so naturally they won't have any special surprises.
He talked about his plans for the future. Chen Wenjie grew up with him since he was a child and believed that he did not have the ability of Xia Yu. Diving and fishing were not his strength at all, nor did he plan to hang out with Xia Yu. But if he wanted him to go out to explore the big city, he felt that he didn't have the ability. Now he is engaged in breeding and fishing in the sea, he doesn't have to survive, but he will just work harder.
Xia Yu planned to be a solitary guest, and he had no idea of bringing his cousin into the group. What he wanted to do was more dangerous, so he didn't have to deal with his cousin.
After going to the town to buy all the things, the two of them didn't wander around the town. There was really nothing fun. Chen Wenjie said, "It's better to play in the town than to play games by yourself!"
Xia Yu himself rarely plays games, and the key is that there is nothing particularly fun now. Most of them are pulling you into the trap and then cheating you into krypton gold.
When the two went back, Xia Xue and Chen Wenxiu had already started making garlic sauce for barbecue. They were not afraid of spicy food and were brave enough to try fresh flavors, and even adults were taken a step aside. They used to seldom eat spicy food, but now their grandmother doesn't resist chili peppers and they have grown a lot in the field.
Xia Yu and Chen Wenjie eat everything, and they don’t have so much room to choose when they are studying in school or outside.
Chen Fuqiang and Dong Xiaoyue came later, and the two families were having fun. After preparing various barbecue ingredients, everyone started barbecuing in the yard.
The most important thing about barbecue is that everyone participates together. In addition to seafood barbecue such as oysters, shrimps, scallops, octopus, moray eels, and moray eels, meat skewers, eggplant, corn, leeks, potatoes, vegetables, etc. are naturally indispensable as a mix.
Everyone also took turns to do it. The barbecue speed was not fast, but they all had to eat.
Xia Xue and Chen Wenxiu, who love to be stinky, naturally would not forget to post on WeChat Moments, calling it a "simple family dinner", which caused envy and jealousy among classmates and friends, including He Linlin, who followed Xia Xue home. He Linlin lives in the county town, not far from the beach, but it is not easy to eat fresh seafood but also high prices.
Xia Yu and Chen Wenjie didn't want to do this at all, but Xia Yu was inevitably involved.
Boss Zhou Chen had Jia Xia Xue’s WeChat and naturally saw the updates in her circle of friends. Fortunately, the other things he was worried about finally happened to the golden lobster weighing more than two pounds... So he sent a message to ask about the hard goods that Xia Yu had kept for him!
Xia Yu only replied that there is a bigger Chinese Lobster, just let him prepare the money!
Zhou Chen was rich and generous, "As long as there is a big product, money is not a problem. Also, don't keep it to death, why don't I come here to get it now?"
"Brother Chen, calm down! You are indispensable. You know I am short of money and I am going to continue to go into the market tomorrow or the next day."
Zhou Chen replied, "I know best that you are a mad girl who is so willing to eat!"
Xia Yu smiled it, but Zhou Chen said that, it was not enough to come to receive the goods in person immediately. He also believed that Xia Yu would not lie to him, and there was no need to do so!
This little episode will naturally not affect Xia Yu's barbecue, and he did not blame his sister Xia Xue for anything.
Finally, as they agreed, this beautiful lobster was made into a sashimi that best reflects the fresh and delicious lobster, and a small part was used for butter frying.
These production processes were recorded by Xia Xue, who was determined to become the food up owner, and they were recorded with Chen Wenxiu. She carefully selected and bought the tableware at home, and they were all very beautiful. As for the porcelain salvaged from the sea, even if it was treated by Xia Yu's desalination and repair, no matter how good the quality was, it would not be used in daily life.
There are many people in the family, and each person only tastes one or two lobster meat. After eating it, my grandmother, who was the first to taste it, praised the quality of the lobster and Xia Xue and Chen Wenxiu's cooking skills.
The two cousins have a good relationship. Of course, when they were young, they had to have conflicts, quarrels, fights, and fights. After they became sensible, they would not have this problem. Their cooking skills started when they were playing houses. Xia Yu and Chen Wenjie were responsible for catching seafood, and they were responsible for making delicious food.
The taste of Jinxiu lobster is delicious, slightly sweet, smooth and buoyant, and the sea tastes very fresh.
The lobster meat fried in butter also has a unique flavor. It is more salty and sweet after chewed until it is more salty and sweet, and it has endless aftertaste.
The soup made from the head and tail of this Jinxiu lobster is also very delicious, milky white, and everyone likes to drink it. Chen Wenxiu even joked, "The taste of money is so fragrant!"
Xia Xue still has a conscience and has not forgotten Xia Yu, a great hero who caught lobsters. It is very necessary to please him. Basically, lobsters and abalone are all high-quality ingredients that he dived to catch. After praising Xia Yu, she said, "Brother, next time I catch lobsters, I will make Baixue Hidden Dragon for you. I have been studying them for a long time, and they should be very delicious."
Xia Yu nodded and said yes, but Xia’s mother, Chen Fuqiong, cursed with a smile, “Before this meal is finished, Xiaoxue, you are thinking about the next lobster meal!”
Everyone else laughed, and grandmother praised her and said, "Xiaoxue can be a chef in a hotel!"
Xia Xue still knew that she was modest, "It's not that exaggerating! My hotel chef and I are still much worse. I still want to visit and learn. Can my brother help me arrange it?"
Faced with such a hardworking and studious sister, Xia Yu certainly had to meet her requirements, "No problem! I will tell Brother Chen that when you go back to Yuhai, you can learn from their restaurant master."
Xia Xue was happy, "I just knew my brother was the best!"
Everyone was happy, and Chen Wenxiu said, "Xiaoxue's cooking skills are sophisticated that we all have good taste. I'll help you when the time comes."
After the barbecue, the dinner was quite sumptuous that day. In addition to the two and a half pounds of Jinxiu lobster, Xia Mingguang caught bluestone grouper, golden drum eel, black snapper and moray eels on the dining table. The blue crabs caught by Xia Yu, and the several orchid crabs and stone crabs caught by Xia Ma to the sea were also turned into meals on the plate.
A large table of seafood is full of, and it looks very appetizing.
When eating grouper on the table, Chen Fuqiang and Xia Mingguang couldn't help but talk about the current wild and breeding grouper.
Grouper breeding is no longer a high-end technology. It is generally mainly pearl gentian grouper. It is a hybrid new species of grouper bred with male gentian grouper and female gentian. It has a tender meat, fast growth, strong disease resistance, and has a tabby head and gentian tail.
Chen Fuqiang and his son also considered whether to raise grouper. Xia Yu’s advice was that it was best not to do so. Although the breeding technology of grouper is relatively mature, grouper has very high requirements for water quality and environment. Even if it is a pearl gentian with strong resistance to disease, it is easy to get sick if the seawater quality is not good.
Chen Fuqiang and his son are the most aware of the water quality in the Chenjia Village waters. They belong to the inland sea. Now there are more and more fishermen engaged in various types of aquaculture. Although the government has put a lot of effort into treating pollution, various dock wastewater, domestic sewage, and aquaculture sewage will eventually flow into the sea, and the water quality is indeed difficult to guarantee.
There are also various plastics, heavy metal pollution, and marine and marine life are also deeply affected. Xia Yu and others went to Qingshanyu outside the sea and could see traces of various plastic products. What's even more terrifying is that plastic cannot degrade naturally, and the microplastics eaten by various marine life eventually returned to the human table.
Nowadays, fishermen will pick up garbage when they see fishing, but there is too much garbage in the sea. It can only be said that they are doing their best and try not to cause pollution.
Xia Yu and the others did not give up because of the choke. They did not eat seafood because of plastics and heavy metals. This is unrealistic. Nowadays, all kinds of pollution in society are everywhere, and living on the earth cannot be avoided. Rice and vegetables are always something to eat, and it is difficult to grow without pesticides.
Now Chen Fuqiang's family raises oysters. Although the price is not high, the advantage lies in stability. The water quality requirements are not so strict, and the breeding technology is relatively low. More than 95% of the oysters on the market are cultivated, including a series of French oyster brands, all of which are artificially cultivated.
The wild oysters Xia Yu also earned some of them into the space today. In addition, there was a lot of seafood in the artificial ocean in his space, including gooseneck barnacles, deep-sea snails, larger golden lobsters, many blue crabs, and large dragon crowns, all of which were kept for Zhou Chen.
After talking about these topics on the dining table, Xia Yu was also thinking secretly that he didn't know if the treasure tripod space had the function of purifying and improving the quality of seafood. He could be sure that the vegetables were not polluted, and they still need to be tested. The seafood he put in the space today was relatively short, so he didn't eat any difference.
