Chapter 42 Food is the most unforgettable [please recommend, recommend]
it's dark.
The sea breeze rises...
Meng Jianshan was seasick, so Lin Xinhai tried his best to control the fishing boat to make it less rocky.
Chen Yuan's squid hook stayed down there for more than twenty minutes before he raised the rod. There were only three squid on the first rod.
There are two time periods for squid fishing, the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
It was probably after nine o'clock in the middle of the night.
Later in the night, after three o'clock...
Squid fishing at these two times is relatively better, especially in the second half of the night...
"Three big rockets." Chen Yuan untied the squid and said.
"The position is good today." He Fei also raised the pole and hit two, but they were quite big: "Seeing these lively rocket squids makes me want to sashimi."
"You're just a foodie." Yang Xun put the pole up and found only one.
Chen Yuan and the others were blowing cowhide at the stern of the boat, while Zhang Cheng was alone at the bow, all alone...
Chen Yuan walked over: "How about changing seats? You can go to the back and brag with everyone. It won't be so boring."
"Okay." Zhang Cheng smiled.
Chen Yuan moved to the bow of the boat, sat on the deck chair, and crossed his legs.
The fishing boat was swaying, and the time was... swaying, it was nine o'clock.
The current fishing depth is more than ten to thirty meters.
The squid are gathering light. It is low tide at this point, the sea is calm, and the squid are gathering quickly.
There are also fishing boats on this sea today, but not as many as yesterday, only 7, and everyone is relatively far away.
There was a fishing boat just over a hundred meters away from Chen Yuan and the others, but now it is several hundred meters away.
The fishing lights of Chen Yuan and his friends are particularly domineering. There are 22 fish attracting lights embedded in the hull of the boat. The fish attracting lights of the fishing boat are too simple. If they are too close to Chen Yuan and the others, they will not be able to grab them.
…
Last night was proof of that.
Last night, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng caught more than 150 kilograms of squid. And they were still in the outer area...
This is all thanks to the fish luring lights.
…
On the fish detector screen, there are dense dots and countless squid gathered...
After setting the hook for three to five minutes and lifting the rod, there were as few as six or seven or eight as many as twelve.
Zhang Cheng was chatting with He Fei, Yang Xun and Zhou Sheng in the back, and they were having a great time, and the sex was in full swing.
Meng Jianshan's condition was much better and he walked out of the cabin.
"Are you ready?" Zhang Cheng asked when he saw Meng Jianshan arranging the fishing rods.
"I feel energetic." Meng Jianshan said with a smile: "I want to go ashore too, and I have to do a big job tonight. There is no need to go back tomorrow, let's fish for two more days."
"Okay." Yang Xun said excitedly, "Are you really okay?"
"never mind."
Lin Xinhai turned his head at this time and said, "I'm afraid it won't work... I have to go back tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Why?"
"I just received a notice from the Maritime Safety Administration that low pressure has formed normally...The wind force tomorrow will be above level five." Lin Xinhai said. He was studying the charts at this time...
The low pressure center area is still far away from here.
However, it is estimated that the sea conditions in this large sea area should reach Level 5 tomorrow.
In the afternoon in Tongyi, the sea state was almost level 4 at high tide. Meng Jianshan couldn't stand the level 4 sea state.
"What time will you go back tomorrow?"
"Let's set out at dawn." Lin Xinhai said with a smile: "We will stay up all night to fish for squid today."
There are many typhoons in summer, so there is less time to go overseas.
Chen Yuan and the others went to sea this time. The weather these days can be said to be very rare.
As for the large surges on the Yitong side, it is mainly due to the topography of the seabed and ocean currents. In the sea area of Yitong, there are waves even if there is no wind...
The sea surface was quiet in the first half of the night and the swell was very small. Everyone was frantically pulling rocket squid, but as time went by, there were fewer squid around.
Chen Yuan looked at his watch. It was half past eleven: "Master, are you going back to rest?"
"Get some rest. I'll sail back tomorrow morning..." Lin Xinhai said.
"need."
"I'm a little hungry." Lin Xinhai smiled, picked a big squid from Chen Yuan's basket, and boiled a pot of water: "Meng Jianshan..." Lin Xinhai shouted.
"Why."
"If you don't feel well, go to bed early."
"It's okay." Meng Jianshan said, "I slept all afternoon and am in great spirits now."
Lin Xinhai boiled water and blanched the squid skin, processed the squid, then put it into the boiling water to blanch it, took it out of the ice water, and dipped it in the soy sauce, ginger and mustard... It tasted very fragrant. If you didn't finish it, just eat it.
Throw it to Zhou Sheng...
"I'm going back to sleep." Lin Xinhai said to Chen Yuan.
"good."
Now it takes more than ten minutes to collect a rod.
Yang Xun put the catch in the refrigerator and waved his hand: "My arm feels like it's useless. I don't know how many days it will hurt after I go back."
"You just have fun. One night of fishing here is equivalent to a month's salary for many people." He Fei said.
"Would you like a midnight snack? I'll make some for you," Yang Xun said.
"Eat." Chen Yuanda said.
"A whole fresh fish porridge." Zhou Sheng stood up and said, holding a plate of squid meat and bringing it to He Fei and the others to try.
“How to make fresh fish porridge?”
"Just make porridge and add fish without fishy smell. Just wait..." Zhou Sheng brought the plates to Chen Yuan and the others.
Meng Jianshan ate a piece: "It's really refreshing."
Chen Yuan also tasted a piece. This thing must be eaten fresh...
Zhou Sheng put down the plate and dipping sauce, went back to the stern of the boat and picked out a few fish from the refrigerator, including the red Eastern Star Spot, Deep Sea Stone Jiugong, two pink snappers... and the rocket squid that had just come out of the water.
"Good guy, if you add these ingredients, the porridge will melt on your tongue." Yang Xun said with a smile.
"The ingredients are not enough. If we add a few more creamy flower crabs, it will be a beauty." Zhou Sheng said.
These ingredients require the word "fresh".
Eastern Star Spot and Deep Sea Stone Jiugong were caught in the morning. They were frozen in the freezer at minus 60 degrees Celsius. After thawing naturally, the taste will be a little different from when they first came out of the water.
Cook the porridge first...
The porridge should be cooked slowly over low heat, don’t rush...
Place the fish in a basin with water and defrost slowly.
It was past twelve o'clock when the fresh fish porridge was ready. Chen Yuan called out: "Master, are you asleep?"
"Asleep." Lin Xinhai heard the sound and ran out wearing a pair of red pants: "Is the fresh fish porridge ready?"
Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "It's done."
Meng Jianshan is cutting spicy millet for dipping...
The fresh fish porridge is delicious, and it would be even more perfect if paired with rocket squid sashimi.
Meng Jianshan made several plates of sashimi.
Chen Yuan helped everyone serve fresh fish porridge outside...
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng are now great eaters, with great strength and a large appetite.
"It's hot..." Zhou Sheng took the basin and started to drink it. It was so hot that he screamed.
Yang Xun used a spoon, blew it, and took a mouthful of white and tender porridge: "It's fresh...excellent."
What this porridge requires is freshness. If you buy fish from the market, you won’t be able to achieve this effect.
"I will be a gourmet UP master in the future, and the first one is this fresh fish porridge." Meng Jianshan became more energetic and laughed now.
Today's fresh fish porridge has a little fishy smell, but it is very fresh. The umami flavor melts into the porridge. One bite is extremely satisfying.
