Chapter 24: Shoot the cucumber

Lin Huimin was very happy when he heard it: "Coriander, do you have any ideas again? Speak up and listen!" This can make a lot of money without going to sea, it's the best of both worlds!

Lin Jiancheng heard a meaning: "Could it be that you want your uncle and me to change careers? I have seen your head, and I will definitely listen to your idea of wrapping floor glue for your mother!"

Tang Qian corrected sternly: "It's to decorate the façade! Decorate the façade!"

Lin Jiancheng and Lin Huimin were both amused by Tang Qian's real energy.

Tang Qian threw a crispy flower into her mouth, clicked and chewed it, took a big mouthful of porridge, and whetted the appetite of her mother and her uncle, and then asked unhurriedly: "Uncle, what do you think of my cooking?"

Seeing that she was asking seriously, Lin Jiancheng also deliberately put another piece of garlic tofu into his mouth, felt the crispy and tender taste, and became poor with his niece: "It's a bit level, I can catch up with your uncle and me!"

This is indeed her uncle's answering style!

Tang Qian smiled: "Then since this is the case, have you ever thought about doing some business with your skills?"

Lin Jiancheng is not poor this time, he smelled the breath of discussion from his niece's words, such a serious discussion, then she is really planning such a thing.

He shook his head gently: "Coriander, this boat was left to me by your grandfather back then, his family conditions were good in those days, and this boat cost hundreds of thousands." When it was passed to me, I was useless as a son, I spent all my savings in the early years to get all the certificates, and now I don't have the conditions to build a big house for your aunt. ”

She knew what her uncle said, and those certificates were also a down payment in a first-tier city, and it was only a lot more. When her grandfather left, the family's situation had plummeted, and her uncle had the idea of fighting together, and mortgaged the family's land to the bank for a loan, and now he still owes a debt.

Although fishing is a way to make money, her uncle is an honest man who follows the rules, and every time he goes to sea, in addition to the loss of labor wages or something, in the end, the money he has left is still the loan of the month, and there is nothing left.

It is precisely because of this that her uncle will think about going to sea before the fishing moratorium has passed, wanting to make more money one step earlier than others.

But this must be a big risk, and it depends on luck whether you get caught or not.

Tang Qian remembered the events of her previous life - the reason why her uncle's boat ran aground on the reef was because it was discovered at the time, and she originally planned to work in the middle of the night, but she still didn't escape.

That time she went to sea, her uncle lost everything, and the second half of her life was worse than death, which was basically equivalent to going to sea at the cost of a lifetime of happiness.

Tang Qian was moved, she forcibly dragged herself out of the shadow of her previous life, and looked at her uncle: "Uncle, my grandfather, isn't he also a chef?

Her grandfather was a chef, and in his early years, he opened a good food stall, but later he couldn't open it anymore because of fierce competition among his peers.

Her uncle, her aunt, her mother, and even her, inherited her grandfather's skills and food sensitivities.

And her father has no talent in this area, but he has an ancestral recipe of "Tang Zujing", she thinks that these are not accidental coincidences, and if this advantage is not used, such a good resource will be wasted!

Tang Qian's eyes were still faintly filled with tears, and Lin Jiancheng was heartbroken by his niece's crying question-his father had indeed passed on the skills of their sisters and brothers, and hoped that they would inherit and pass it on.

"But ......," Lin Jiancheng smiled bitterly, "Coriander, this doesn't mean that I can do this if I want to, the workers on the ship still have to keep it."

Lin Huimin was also moved when she heard it, and then suddenly said: "Come on, just those few are lazy and lazy, and you only need to raise them." ”

Lin Jiancheng was immediately unable to refute.

Tang Qian said directly: "Uncle, you see that my mother can open a stall on this tricycle, do you think your boat can be opened?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Huimin and Lin Jiancheng's eyes widened, goosebumps all over their bodies stood up, and they seemed to be instantly opened up to Ren Du's second vein, and their pores were unblocked!

At this moment, even if Lin Jiancheng didn't immediately nod his head in agreement, he knew in his heart that it was feasible!

He was still hesitating: "But if you want to prepare documents, you have to contact your family to supply ......"

He was thinking about it, when a crack opened in the courtyard door, Yuan Keke's fleshy face squeezed in through the crack in the door, his round eyes were bent into two crescents with a smile, and his voice was sweet and a little milky: "Sister Coriander, you have a phone!"

Tang Qian asked her uncle to continue thinking about it and answer the phone by herself.

Her family has not installed a phone, so she reported the number of the old principal Yuan's house, and only told her acquaintances, and if there was an emergency, she would call this number to find her.

The call was made by Zhuang Shizeze, and after listening to what Zhuang Shize said, Tang Qian's whole face lit up.

She finally said, "It's all right, but tomorrow, can you invite them to another place to eat?"

Zhuang Shize responded happily: "Okay!"

Tang Qian felt that something was about to erupt in her heart, and she tried hard to control her voice: "Then I have to work hard for my brothers and sisters in your family to take care of it for me." ”

......

When Tang Qian came back, she said to her uncle: "Uncle, the opportunity has come!"

She told the content of the phone call just now, and the three of them were so excited that their hands trembled slightly!

Early the next morning, Tang Qian, her mother and her uncle took a few large boxes to the river.

Her uncle's boat was parked on the edge of the dock, and she stepped into the boat on a large iron plate one lane wide that connected to the boat—a small fishing boat, handed down from her grandfather's time, and the color had always been Tang Qian's preferred blue and white color, with a white hull and navy blue edges. It is said that this is the color that her grandfather insisted on asking for oil in order to distinguish his own boat from other ships, and the other boats are more green hulls, so it is easy to distinguish this color in the sea, and it is easy to find any accident.

Although the white color of the ship has been yellowed by the sea water over the years, and the blue has faded a lot, the color is still very eye-catching.

When the weather is good, Lin Jiancheng and the rest of the crew usually eat on the deck, they will pull the sails to block out the daylight, and have a full meal in the sea breeze.

Not long after, a small truck also stopped by the iron plate, and the servants of Zhuang Shize's family also jumped out of the car and walked to the boat with tables, chairs and tablecloths.

Half an hour later, Lin Jiancheng set up a white square tent on the deck of the ship.

Next to the tent is a large long table with a champagne-colored tablecloth with three pots on it, and next to it are plates of cleaned ingredients and ingredients.

Under the tent were two large round tables, covered with cream-white tablecloths, and fifteen European dining chairs were placed beside each table, on which the servants were arranging dishes in an orderly manner.

After setting up the table, the servants spread a layer of gray soft carpet on the large iron plate, and the iron railings on both sides also pulled the light gray silk curtains with a strong sense of drape—so that the whole deck looked a little like a seaside western restaurant!

Lin Jiancheng, Lin Huimin, and Tang Qian all wore white chef uniforms.

At noon, fifteen black, white, or dark gray cars were parked slowly by the Jiuqu River, and the riverside residents who had been watching since the morning opened their windows and stretched out their heads.

"What kind of character is coming today, the boat looks like someone is going to set up a wedding wine. ”

"It's not that the big man doesn't know, the rich are sure, you don't look at the car, tsk!"

"What's this? I still pull the sails, there are many clouds today, and the sun is not fierce!"

......

Today's guests are Zhuang Shize's uncles and aunts, as well as some distinguished guests who have close contacts, and of course, the leaders of some important local departments.

People and guests sat down one after another, and Lin Huimin first served the cut fruit plate - on a hot day, of course, the watermelon with sufficient moisture and bright color is indispensable!

The watermelon is cut into small cubes and served in small white bone china plates, one for each person, with a small dish of crushed salt and a small spoon on the side.

Lin Huimin introduced: "You can try to sprinkle a little salt into the watermelon, the watermelon will be sweeter, and it will also fade away the dampness and heat of the watermelon." ”

Everyone was still skeptical, but Mr. Lin had already eaten it while sprinkling salt - the watermelon was sweet and juicy, with few kernels and black grains, and it was definitely a naturally ripe watermelon.

Gently bite down, the sandy watermelon on the surface makes a slight "click" sound, and then melts into watermelon juice in the mouth, sweet and thirst-quenching.

The salted watermelon not only tastes good, but also the sweetness will be more prominent, and the saltiness makes the sweetness of the watermelon more layered!

Tang Qian took five cucumbers, slapped them with the back of the knife from beginning to end, moved the wrist and shook the shadow of the knife, cut the knife into small pieces with a quick knife, and then slapped it again with the knife wall.

Place the cucumbers on a large plate, puree the garlic, pour into another large bowl, add light soy sauce, sugar and vinegar, sprinkle with salt and mix well into a garlic sauce.

She cut another peppercorn, sprinkled half of it into the cucumber, tossed it a few times, and threw the other half into the garlic sauce she had just made.

Finally, she slammed the sauce into the cucumber plate, let it marinate, and turned to roll the soaked vermicelli into a plate.

Lin Jiancheng was cutting the fish obliquely to the fish bone, and then picked it up slightly, and after a while, the whole fish meat was slightly turned up.

Lin Huimin put the kelp knot into the pot, added the clear chicken soup that had been boiled in advance, and the light yellow ginger shreds, and then turned down the heat after boiling.

At this time, the soup coriander stirs the cucumber on the plate again, puts a qiē into the mouth to taste, and when the tip of the tongue tastes sour and spicy, he is satisfied with the spoon and puts it into the transparent small bowl next to it.

The servants brought bowls of cucumbers to the guests, everyone had just finished eating watermelon to quench their thirst, and they were chatting at this time, and the main course was not served in time, so they had some snacks to make up.

Everyone just ate a small piece, and they couldn't stop and continue to fork up and eat - the cucumber is crispy with sweetness in the mouth, probably chilled, the melon juice touches the tip of the tongue with a trace of coolness, and the spicy taste comes out of it, so that the taste buds come to an unexpected surprise stimulation, this spicy with a slight acidity, mixed with melon juice, makes the spicy overflow with a strange sweetness, and when the throat is down, there is a spicy fragrance turnaround.

Everyone has eaten cucumbers, but the taste is so rich, everyone has tasted it for the first time!

So while everyone was chatting, they all silently paid attention to the three people who were cooking over there.

When Lin Jiancheng carried the tail of the fish and poured hot oil on the fish, Lin Huimin had already put the chopped tender tofu in the pot.

When the tofu in the pot was boiling on low heat, she took out the washed clams and put them in the pot, and after a while, the clams in the pot slowly opened their mouths, revealing the fat flesh of the yellow body with gold edges inside.

As soon as the clams were added, everyone smelled the delicious aroma of shellfish.

Today's ingredients are the highest grade that Tang Coriander bought from the "recipe", and as soon as the clams are put down, the seafood aroma brought out by the meaty aroma of the chicken soup is very domineering.

The windows of the residents by the river were not closed, and everyone stuck their heads out and sniffed desperately.

The guests on the ship couldn't help the liquid in their mouths for a long time, so they had to keep eating and patting the cucumbers, so that the sourness and spicinessiness of the cucumbers temporarily suppressed the gluttony.

Everyone had to chat to divert their attention.

One of them asked Zhuang Shize: "Which chef are those people?"

Zhuang Shize replied with a smile: "They are preparing to open a shop on this boat, but I heard that the formalities and documents have not been completed yet." ”

There was an industrial and commercial bureau present who was thinking of looking for an opportunity to make a fool of himself, so he hurriedly said: "This matter is easy to handle! I'll just make a phone call back and ask them to get this certificate done today! Just let the witness make a copy of his personal ID card or something!"

Mr. Lin understood his grandson's intentions, so he quickly stood up and shook hands with the man to thank him.

At this time, at the junction of the People's Bridge and Gluttonous Street, Zhao Zigui was also directing more than a dozen porters to move tables from the car.

The smile on his face did not decrease: "Everyone work hard, my store will open the day after tomorrow, let everyone eat a free seafood meal today!"

Zhao Yixun absentmindedly dragged a chair inside, almost tripping over the unpaved carpet.

Zhao Zigui habitually slapped him on the head: "What do you think! Look at the road!"

Zhao Zixun responded in his mouth, but in his heart he was thinking about a post on the forum he saw today, and he was so angry that he didn't want to move chairs here at all.

He threw the chair and walked out: "Dad, I'll go out and find my classmates." ”

Before Zhao Zigui could stop it, Yue Yixun didn't even have a shadow.

He spat out, "Bunny!"
