373. Stormy day, small harvest(1/3)
After a meeting, Wang Yi burped back to Tingtaoju.
The rain did not increase, but the wind was very strong.
The next day, the rain stopped, and only the wild sea breeze was whistling.
The fishermen are more aggressive than the wind, and they actually took advantage of the typhoon to pick up small sea goods around the island.
Seeing this, Wang Yi just wanted to ask: Do you think you are very brave?
But the members of the community were looking for seafood in the wind and rain, not for themselves, but for him, but for him, so they sent him more barnacles!
Seeing this, Wang Yi could only sigh: You are so brave!
Barnacles live in dangerous places and do not appear on weekdays. This strong wind blows the sea water and reveals some steep terrain. There are many barnacles on it, so some members take this opportunity to find barnacles.
Of course, they didn’t just go on adventures because Wang Yi liked to eat small seafood, but they would go to find them every typhoon.
I found one to eat it myself, and the other to dry it and make it into dry barnacles for later use.
Whenever I go to see the cliffs on the sea in this kind of weather, I can see many people scattered below, and the waves are whistling beside them and their feet. They are calm and composed and even have the heart to laugh...
So at noon on the 29th, Wang Yi ate barnacle again.
The deliciousness of barnacles ranks among the top among many seafood, just boil it simply.
But the umami flavor of this thing is temporary. It is harder to keep fresh than ordinary seafood. Even if it is put in the refrigerator, it will no longer be plump in less than two days, and the original flavor will disappear.
To keep the barnacles good, either dry them to make them dry or make drunk barnacles.
These two days are destined to be storms, and the idea of making barnacles is in vain, so I discussed with Wang Yi that I would make a drunk barnacle for him.
Drunk barnacles are simple to make, they are divided into raw and mature barnacles.
To be honest, wash the fresh raw barnacles and put them into a ceramic jar, pour some rice wine and water, then add some white sugar and salt to season, seal for a few days and then eat.
As the name suggests, Crazy Drunk means heating the barnacle for half a baked one, and then marinating it in the same way. The same thing that comes out after a few days is Crazy Drunk.
Wang Yi hid at the door and ate barnacles with Qiuweishui. You feed me one, I feed you one, and Lao Huang and the four puppies were so hungry that they kept shaking their tongues.
They are really abused.
It is inevitable that the temperature is low in windy days, so it is very comfortable to taste hot and fresh barnacles like this.
The members came to him intermittently and sent him barnacles, and a few buckets were all full!
When Wang Yi saw that this was not possible, he said to the members: "I have enough to eat. Look, I have eaten all the barnacles here."
Someone said to him: "Teacher Wang, if you can't eat it, just dry the barnacles. I see that the barnacles you used to be mailed to classmates and friends. There is no inventory on hand, right? Then you can spread it more this time!"
Wang Yi was embarrassed.
Not easy to explain.
All the barnacles were sent to a hotel that had been in the 22-year-old.
It’s not that he wants to make that little money, he lives but hasn’t reached this point yet.
The main reason is that he always had fresh barnacles here in 1982, so dry barnacles are not used, so the delicious taste of dried barnacles is naturally not comparable to fresh barnacles.
He couldn't afford it, so he sent it to earn foreign exchange for 22 years, but unexpectedly he was misunderstood by the members.
Xiufang is even more powerful, and she directly brought him and Qiu Weishui finished dishes and said with a smile: "Come on, Teacher Wang, Teacher Xiaoqiu, try the eggs I made."
Wang Yi listened to her voice and asked, "Go to the Battle Egg? Is it a steamed egg, right?"
Xiufang sent a small iron bowl with steamed eggs and barnacle meat, or touch meat - the outer island called barnacles.
There was a member who had just sent a barnacle to pick up Wang Yi's cigarettes and smoked. After hearing Wang Yi's words, he smiled and said, "It's nothing wrong, it's just going to fight eggs. This is the name of this dish."
"It is indeed called steamed egg, but isn't it the same as the Euntain Egg? So we all call it Euntain Egg. Then, in the past, the children from the outer islands would eat this dish when they went to the army to fight."
Wang Yi smiled and said, "There are so many dishes that can be cooked, such as meat, dishes, and noodles, right?"
Xiufang waved her hand: "When you touch the egg, steam it with the best taste, and the taste is the best. If you don't believe it, try it."
The eggs go to the battlefield are to beat the eggs and add a small amount of rice wine to steam them in the washed barnacles. They are considered as a medicinal diet for the outer island, which can strengthen the stomach and spleen.
Some children have weak spleen and stomach and do not gain weight. The family will make eggs for them. Eating a few more meals will show that they have gained weight.
Why?
Wang Yi thinks that it is because the living conditions on the outside island are too poor, and the child does not gain meat because he is not nutritious enough. Eating a few more seafood and eggs to supplement the nutrition will inevitably make his body look better.
However, this dish is indeed delicious. The fresh sweetness of barnacles is mixed with the mellowness of rice wine, and the tenderness of fresh eggs. Scoop a spoonful of them is enough to make the index finger irritate. After taking a bite, I want a second bite.
Wang Yi and Qiu Weishui ate separately, and he sighed with emotion:
It is more suitable for the windy days and the out-of-the-storm eggs.
It didn't rain in the afternoon, but the strong wind blew very fiercely.
There were some miserable howlings mixed in the wind, and the female workers working in the big stove were a little frightened:
"What's going on? Why are there any typhoons on your Tianya Island crying and howling?"
Wang Yi explained: "That's not howling, it's our students howling."
"When they looked at the windy day and the gloomy weather, they guessed that the weather must be very bad on National Day and could not perform the show. They were crying sadly."
The wind became even stronger in the afternoon, and the waves were probably three or four meters high.
Very scary.
Wang Yi stood on the shore and saw the waves hitting the sky, as if he was about to smack Tianya Island.
At first glance, he looked very irritable.
As a result, in the evening, the sea breeze suddenly weakened, but the sky became more and more gloomy - everyone on the island knew that this was the tranquility before the storm.
The typhoon is approaching, and a double storm and heavy rain will definitely hit the island tonight.
However, it is good for the wind to weaken. After a day of the typhoon, it actually blew some sea goods around the island. Now is a good time to catch the sea.
So the whole team went out and began to wander around the beach, reefs and beaches of Tianya Island.
The weather is not good and it is more dangerous.
But people on the island now have charging flashlights, no battery, and the light is brighter. They turn on the flashlights when they arrive in a dark place, so no one has any trouble for a while.
Wang Yi was walking on the coast, and suddenly Wang Choumao jumped and ran to him: "Teacher Wang, it's great to be here. Come with me quickly. We found a lot of spitting iron!"
"Spit iron?" Wang Yi asked, "It's just mud snails, right?"
When he learned about seafood, he read an introduction to mud snails. This thing tastes the best in two seasons, and the names of mud snails in these two seasons are very beautiful:
Peach blossom mud snail and osmanthus mud snail.
When the peach blossoms bloom, it is spring. At this time, the mud snails have just grown, and the mud and sand in the belly are spit out. The flesh is particularly tender and plump, and it is called "peach blossom mud snails".
Some people wrote a poem specifically for this: the moon rises from the tree and the man brings peach blossoms and spits iron.
The current mud snails are osmanthus mud snails, and the nine laurels are fragrant. At this time, the mud snail cream is full of the belly and soaked in wine for one or two nights. The fat snail can overflow from the shell and be fresh and sweet and fragrant.
Because mud snails grow in the beginning of spring and enter the maturity period during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they can be said to be large in size and abundant in fat, which is mouth-watering.
So he was very interested when he heard that there were mud snails.
There is a typhoon? It’s very dangerous?
Are you afraid of you?
I'm very brave too!
When Wang Choumao saw that he was interested, he smiled and said, "Well, it's just mud snails, but there are too many, they must have been blown up by a typhoon."
Mud snails are small conchs that live on muddy or muddy stilts. People from the outside islands are very familiar with them.
Zhu Zhenxue, who was strolling with Wang Yi, said: "In ancient times, people saw mud snails spitting out sand, and the sand spitting out as black as iron, so they asked them to spit out iron."
Wang Yi secretly was glad after hearing the origin of this name.
Fortunately, ancient people did not see black fungus, otherwise they thought the sand they spit out was as black as black fungus. Will they call them spitting fungus?
He followed Wang Choumao to a mudflat on the east side of the island. Originally, this place was full of sea vegetables. In autumn, the roots of sea vegetables were not deep or firm. When the sea breeze blew, the sea vegetables were swept away and exposed the mud and sandy mudflats below.
Now there are many small conchs crawling densely on the ground on the mudflat, all of which are spitting iron, or mud snails.
The appearance of these things is hard to say. The oval shell exudes a dark color. If you look carefully, you will be very cute. If you look at it, you will probably see it, it seems that there are many black broad beans scattered on the beach.
But for people who don’t like sticky things, mud snails are quite disgusting. They carry mucus on the outside, and they are not easy to find normally. They are very hiding and like to drill into the mud and sand.
Especially in this kind of cloudy and rainy weather, mud snails cannot be found.
Mud snails usually appear on sunny days, rainy and deserted weather, and it is difficult to find.
But this time, they may have been driven out by the typhoon or the hiding mud and sand were blown away, revealing many mud snails, which attracted students to pick up mud snails.
The mud snails were very slow, and Wang Yi followed the students to pick them up leisurely, just like picking up shells.
These mud snails are also clever. They use their heads to dig up mud and sand, mix the mud and mucus secreted by their bodies, and drill down hard.
Unfortunately, their opponents are more clever humans.
The mud snails drilled under the mud and sand not only did not hide themselves, but instead exposed the location of the ethnic group. The students were all experts in the sea, so they told Wang Yi:
"There must be hidden underneath here. Teacher Wang, take a photo with an electric stick. Let's find their breathing holes and dig them out accurately!"
This is true.
