149, Jinjiang Exclusive(1/3)
After catching the king crab, Captain Yang sailed back.
It is now past one o'clock in the morning, and in addition to the boat lights, everyone on the boat is also wearing headlamps.
The headlights were not very bright and could only illuminate a beam of light. Looking from a distance, everyone looked like a large firefly.
Lin Qiyan was so amused that he took pictures of the whole scene, from the stars in the sky to the waves in the sea, to the dark smiling faces on the fishing boats.
All the scenes were recorded in his lens.
When Captain Yang drove the boat back to the dock, many fishing boats had already returned.
The fishmonger is on the dock, and the newly collected king crabs need to be sold quickly.
While the king crabs are still fresh, the fishmongers will urgently send them to be frozen, so that the frozen king crabs will not be very different from the fresh ones, and it will be easier to export to various countries around the world.
Huaxia is one of the largest king crab markets.
Captain Yang has a long-term cooperation with the fishmonger and is familiar with each other. The process of selling king crabs is also very fast. It only takes more than 20 minutes to count, grade and weigh the king crabs.
Among them, the blue king crab is kept at the fishmonger's place and entrusted to the fishmonger to sell it on his behalf.
He left ten king crabs unsold and planned to take them back to eat.
He originally wanted to keep a few more king crabs, but Lu Ao felt that leaving too many king crabs would be too much for them to eat and it would be a waste, so he only kept ten.
These ten king crabs are all big, and most of them are female crabs. They are heavy to hold in your hand.
"Lu Ao, can you go home with us now? We probably can't turn on the fire in the hotel."
"OK?"
"What's wrong with that? We've been busy all night and everyone is probably hungry. Let's go home and have something good to eat."
Captain Yang said and led them outside.
The three boatmen behind him also followed.
He has been here for many years and is very familiar with it. He not only works here, but also has a family here.
The car drove along the main road of Drake City and headed deeper into the city.
Lu Ao looked at the road on both sides.
Lin Qiyan sat next to him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the trees."
Lin Qiyan looked around and realized that the trees on both sides of the road were actually crooked. Not only were they crooked, they were also crooked very neatly. Along one direction, the trees were almost parallel to each other.
"how so?"
The boatman next to them laughed when he heard this and said: "Although the weather is good today, the wind here is actually quite strong, and the trees will be blown away. Over time, the trees on the seaside will become crooked."
"Does the government here not care about it? For example, using wooden sticks to hold up trees that are not growing properly or something like that."
"If you support them now, they will still be crooked if you don't support them in the future. When the time comes, it won't just be as simple as leaning to one side. When the wind is strong, they may be uprooted. It is better to keep the crooked shape. When the wind blows,
Even if it is blown over, it has a certain degree of resistance."
"This is amazing."
"How can we say that there is only one land and one land with different people? The scenery here is still different from that of our country."
There were no cars late at night, so Captain Yang drove very fast. After about forty minutes, they stopped outside the courtyard of a single-family house.
"This is my home."
Lin Qiyan looked at the house in front of him and sighed: "Your house is so elegant!"
"Hahahaha, it's okay. It's just an ordinary house. It can't be considered grand or grand. I'm tired after a night, so I came in for a cup of tea and some late-night snacks."
Captain Yang opened the lock with his fingerprint.
Mrs. Yang inside heard the commotion and walked out of the house. She faced them and said with a gentle smile: "You are back. We have guests today. Welcome."
"Back. Are Abin and the others asleep?"
Aunt Yang came over with a smile, "I went to bed early. I originally wanted to wait for you to come back, but I couldn't bear the sleepiness, so I let them go to bed first."
Captain Yang introduced them.
Mrs. Yang warmly invited them in to drink tea.
"Honey, take the tea out to the courtyard. We'll drink tea in the courtyard and light a fire and have some barbecue."
"Would you like to make something else? I'll take out the pot."
"I want to bake a crab lid."
After Mrs. Yang greeted them, she quickly went back to the kitchen to work.
Captain Yang turned on the courtyard lights and took them to sit in the courtyard.
Lin Qiyan turned around and looked around.
The courtyard of Captain Yang's house is also very large, about fifty or sixty square meters. There are some flowers and plants planted on both sides of the courtyard, and there is a small pond against the wall. There is a large stone path in the middle, and there is a large strip of stone next to the flowers and plants.
The table has an awning above it.
There is a gas stove next to the stone table, which looks like it has been used. It is estimated that his family usually cooks here.
The chirping of insects can be heard in the yard, but there are no biting insects. Maybe the weather is cooler now and the biting insects are not coming out.
Mrs. Yang quickly came over with tools.
She used alcohol to light a charcoal fire and placed an iron mesh on it.
Captain Yang said: "Barbecuing is the fastest, and you can eat it soon."
Sister-in-law Yang said: "You guys are grilling here, and I'll fry up some garlic sauce for you."
After she went to the kitchen, the men in the courtyard visibly relaxed.
Lin Qiyan set up his mobile phone and asked excitedly: "How are you going to get these king crabs? Should they be chopped raw?"
"It's almost the same as killing an ordinary crab. You first poke it into its mouth with chopsticks and kill it, then break open the shell and chop off the legs."
Captain Yang gave them a demonstration as he spoke.
Practice makes him perfect, and he handled the king crab very neatly. When he poked it with his chopsticks, the king crab placed on the chopping board stopped moving almost immediately.
After the king crab died, he skillfully chopped off six crab legs and two crab claws, then lifted the crab lid, took out the gills, lungs and other internal organs and threw them away, and put the crab lid aside.
In less than ten seconds, a king crab is ready.
Lu Ao asked: "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. If there is no frying step, you can just put it in the pot without brushing it. In fact, generally seafood should not be soaked in water after being cut, as water will dilute their freshness."
Captain Yang introduced, "There is not much meat in the crab shell. Here we usually bake the crab shell, that is, fry the onions and put them in the crab shell, and then put cheese inside. Then the crab meat will be fresh and delicious."
The aroma of cheese mixed together makes it taste very good.”
While they were talking, the charcoal fire in the charcoal pot was already ready, and Captain Yang directed them to grill the crab legs.
Put nothing on the crab legs, just put them on the fire.
Soon the crab legs changed color, especially the tips of the claws, and they were already cooked at first glance.
Lin Qiyan swallowed, "Is this ready to eat?"
"Yes, wait until your sister-in-law brings the garlic chili sauce. You can eat it directly or dip it in the garlic chili sauce. Many people like to eat it directly. It feels sweeter and can bring out the original taste of the king crab.
People here prefer to eat it with garlic chili sauce.”
Lin Qiyan was puzzled, "Why? Logically speaking, wouldn't the fresher the ingredients, the simpler the method?"
"That's true." Captain Yang said with a smile, "But the king crab is too big. You will know when you eat it. The legs are full of meat. If you eat one leg, you will eat two legs.
It still feels delicious, but you might get tired of it if you eat too much, so it’s more exciting to eat it with sauce.”
Even though Lin Qiyan grew up by the sea, he had never experienced this sweet burden. Ever since he was a child, he never got tired of eating crabs.
However, eating oysters, conch, etc. sometimes makes you feel tired. It is indeed sour and spicy, and the spicy ones taste better.
Mrs. Yang heard what they were talking about and soon came over with a bowl of garlic chili sauce. In addition to this, she also had a basket in her hand containing soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, lemon, etc.
"I don't know what your taste is, so you can adjust it yourself according to your taste."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your hard work."
"You're welcome. I'll go back then. You can eat slowly."
"Sister-in-law, don't you want some?"
"No, we here are tired of eating king crab every day."
Captain Yang was still frying onions and carrots in the baked crab shells. When he saw this, he said: "You guys should eat it while it's hot. It won't be fresh when it's cold."
"Not together?"
"No need to wait, just like your sister-in-law said, we are tired of eating here every day."
Three boatmen also came over and sat at the table, "Come and eat, you're welcome."
