Chapter 188: Whole Fish Feast (I)

Actually, Ye Luo thought about it carefully and understood why he had asked Dast and them to come to the house to play before, but they didn't come.

It's nothing more than embarrassing.

It's like, when we apply for a job alone, not only do we have no bottom in our hearts, but we will also be nervous.

But once you have friends around you, then you can rely on each other, more or less able to reduce some nervous emotions and make yourself a little more confident.

Now, with Robert and Wiggins as their two families, it is only natural that Dast will no longer feel embarrassed.

Ye Luo stood in place for a long time.

His figure was only discovered by the sharp-eyed Alice.

I saw Alice trotting towards Ye Luo, and at the same time shouted in her mouth: "It's Dad, Dad is back." ”

Seeing the baby girl coming, Ye Luo hurriedly put down the two big baskets in his hand, squatted down and hugged Alice who threw herself into his arms, Ye Luo, who stood up, reached out and gently nodded on Alice's upturned nose, and then smiled with his father: "Alice, do you miss your father?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Alice was in Ye Luo's arms, nodding her little head constantly.

At this time, Dast and the others also came over, looking at the two large baskets of fruits and vegetables that Ye Luo brought back, Dast couldn't help but say, "Boss, have you picked so many vegetables and fruits at once?"

"Aren't there still you who can't finish eating?"

Ye Luo said with a smile: "Aren't the more than 20 fish we brought back yesterday still in the freezer?" I thought that instead of putting them away, I didn't want to eat them while they were still fresh, I originally planned to call you when I came back and ask you to come over, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”

"Hey, boss, what are you going to do today?"

Renison swallowed his saliva and asked with an expectant expression, "Is it still the boiled fish like yesterday?"

"If you still want to eat it, no problem, I can make it for you. ”

Ye Luo agreed, and asked Daxter, "By the way, I remember that there were one or two black fish among the twenty or so fish yesterday, right?"

It's not that you can't make boiled fish such as carp, grass carp, and herring, but after eating boiled fish made from black fish, who would want to eat boiled fish made from those fish?

"There are three left. ”

Dusty gave an accurate answer, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "It's just not comparable to the one we ate yesterday. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's no different in size, anyway, today we don't just eat boiled fish. ”

Ye Luo smiled and said: "I will do the other kinds in different ways, wait for you to go to the freezer and bring one of each of them, I believe that these fish will add up enough for us to eat until the night." ”

For freshwater fish, the meat quality of small fish is always better than that of large fish, but the meat quality of large fish is thicker than that of small fish.

In a word, small fish have the benefits of small fish, and big fish have the benefits of big fish, which is typical, turnip greens have their own love.

"Okay, I'll go and bring the fish back later. Dust agreed without even thinking about it.

At this time, Scarlett brought several of their wives to Daxt, and Daxter and their wives didn't let Scarlett do it at all, but carried away the two baskets of fruits and vegetables on the ground without saying a word, leaving Scarlett to look at everyone with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Ye Luo said to Scarlett: "It's okay, if you want to help, just go and tell Hanelli to wash those vegetables and fruits, I will use them at noon, and let everyone eat the fruits together, but remember not to eat too much, leave some stomach for fish at noon." ”

"Well, I'm going to go over and tell Hanelli about them. ”

Scarlett nodded, and walked quickly towards Hanelli and the others, who were washing vegetables and fruits.

Ye Luo watched Scarlett leave, and he himself carried Alice and Daxter to the gazebo, and when he passed by the beach chairs, he looked at the salted fish on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, but he didn't make a sound.

Ye Luo, who came to the pavilion, originally planned to sit down with Alice, but Alice asked Ye Luo to put her down, and after Ye Luo put her down, Alice ran to play with Vivian and her children without saying a word.

Retracting the gaze that fell on the girl, Ye Luo said to Daxter: "Daxter, there are many things that I plan to cook today, which are not available on the island, why don't you go to Newfoundland now to buy some, and buy a few cauldrons by the way, what do you think?"

"No problem, boss. ”

Dast shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, you have to tell me what you need to buy first, and the quantity must be clear, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to eat too much by then." ”

"If you can't finish eating, you can put it in the refrigerator, anyway, it's not so easy to spoil. ”

Ye Luo said disapprerovingly: "Don't forget, there are more than 20 fish in the freezer, if you buy less this time, you will have to run again next time, it is better to buy more at one time and come back, so as to save tossing back and forth." ”

No one wants to eat frozen seafood to be able to eat fresh seafood, mainly because the freshness will slowly lose as the freezing time increases, and the meat quality and taste are significantly different.

Subsequently, Ye Luo hurriedly told Daxter about the things he needed, but he only remembered a third of the goods.

In desperation, Ye Luo could only ask Daxter's wives to come over, and then told him what he needed to buy.

Not to mention, when it comes to shopping, women are born to crush men.

Daxter's wives easily wrote down the things that Ye Luo needed, which made Daxter's face red with shame, and he bowed his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing that there were too many things to buy, Ye Luo planned to let Renison go with him, but was rejected by Daxter, and he told Ye Luo that the couple could handle it.

Dast was afraid that he would not be able to take Renison with him in the end if he stayed for a while, so he said something to Ye Luo and left with a few wives.

After seeing the Hust couple leave, Ye Luo realized that he asked Dast to buy things, but he didn't give him money, and the ghost knows if Dast had money with him.

Thinking of this, Ye Luo hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and transferred 20,000 yuan to Daxter's bank account.

He didn't know the exact price of the things he asked Daxter to buy, but he didn't think about it too much, but because of the large amount, he could make more money to be prepared.

In fact, prices in Newfoundland are much more expensive than in China, and even on fruits, vegetables and various meats, the price is several times higher, and seafood is several times cheaper.

Prices vary from place to place depending on where you are located.

Newfoundland is an island with countless seafood, but with the increasing number of people on the island, the land on the island has been gradually developed, resulting in a shortage of land, and there is no extra land for people to grow vegetables, fruits, and livestock on a large scale.

In addition, most of the people on the island make a living from fishing, and there is little skill and experience in farming.

Relatively speaking, the price of imported things is definitely more expensive than that of exported things, but this is also caused by the different positions of the two sides, just like if I export rice here to you, the price is naturally much more expensive, and you export fruits to me, the price will definitely be much higher.

As a result, many Newfoundland people cannot afford to eat fruits, vegetables and meat, and can only buy a small amount of food once in a while, with the exception of those who are wealthy.

Ye Luo did not sit idle after transferring the money to Daxter, but took Renison, Robert and Wiggins to the freezer and brought back several kinds of fish to deal with.

Although some dishes and other side dishes can only be made when Daxter and them return, Ye Luo does not intend to waste time.

Now they can take advantage of this time to prepare in advance, and when they come back, they can start doing it immediately.

Looking at the six kinds of fish that he brought back and put on the ground, such as carp, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp, herring and black fish, Ye Luo's head suddenly became bigger, and the combined weight of these was at least twice as heavy as the big black fish yesterday.

He thought that the big black fish alone yesterday almost couldn't eat it all, and now there are not only more of them, but also more weight.

Let Ye Luo have to wonder, if they make all these fish, then can their group eat them all?

The fish are fresh out of the freezer and need to be thawed before they can be processed.

Normally, everything that comes out of the freezer is left behind, and if you are not in a hurry, you will basically let them thaw on their own, and if you are in a hurry, they will soak them in water, and some will even rinse them with hot water.

Judging from the current situation, Ye Luo estimated that it would be around one or two o'clock in the afternoon when they came back.

And it wasn't eleven o'clock yet, and Daxter was still at sea.

More than three hours for these fish to thaw naturally is definitely not enough, plus they have to be processed after thawing, so Ye Luo can only put them into a basin filled with water to thaw, but unfortunately the basin is too small, only half of the body of the fish more than one meter is soaked in the water, and the remaining half is exposed.

In this regard, Ye Luo also felt very helpless.

What else can I do?

He's desperate too, okay!

......

After that, every half hour, Ye Luo and Renison would take out the fish, then pour out the water in the basin, and then put in new water to soak the unthawed half of the fish in it.

Little by little, time passed.

Two hours passed quickly.

And these fish have also been soaked in water twice, Ye Luo's fingers pressed the body of the fish, and the half-soft and half-hard touch from his fingers told him that although it had not yet met expectations, it was at least almost manageable, otherwise it would really be too late.

You know, it's past twelve o'clock, and everyone is a little hungry at this time.

Originally, Ye Luo also planned to wait for the fish to be a little softer before processing, which is not only more labor-saving, but also easier to process.

However, Ye Luo, who is a daughter slave, because of his baby daughter's words 'Dad, Alice is hungry, when can I eat', caused his father's love to burst, and decided not to wait, so he started to deal with it.
