Chapter 214: Delicious Barnacles
The sea breeze was howling, and another wave crashed up, and this wave was extraordinarily huge, five or six meters high, and it was overwhelming, and the surging momentum was terrifying.
That's the power of nature!
Ye Luo finally learned that the life of fishermen is not only the happiness when catching sea fish and the heroism when crossing the ocean, but also the crisis of life and death!
At this time, he didn't care about borrowing the scene to express his lyricism, Ye Luo shouted according to the agreement with Thomas: "Get up!"
Renison heard the roar and knew that a big wave was coming, so he kicked the reef with both feet, and climbed up as fast as he could with the power of the rope, while trying to shrink his body and reduce the area of the crashing waves.
Ye Luo's body is in the strengthening of the system all the time, and the strength that can be called the innate divine power plays a role at this moment, under his hard pulling, Renison feels like he is taking an elevator, and he is quickly pulled up, all he has to do is to take a quick step to avoid hitting the reef.
The waves crashed on the shore, and the waves splashed high, making a loud 'boom'.
"Oh shit, what a big wave!"
Renison wiped the sea water from his face and looked back and laughed.
Daxter, on the other hand, was not as lucky as him, and was slapped by the waves, and Thomas dragged him up and coughed on the ground.
"Substitution, man. ”
Ye Luo said suddenly, and then took off his shirt to reveal his strong upper body, only to see the two pectoral muscles embedded in the chest like a steel plate, and the neat eight-pack abdominal muscles were sharp and angular, like a carefully polished rock, with the skin tanned by the sun, that kind of male charm is unstoppable, if you don't look at the face, just look at the body, and live out is the standard body of a gym coach.
It's a pity that although Ye Luo's face is not handsome, it is at least delicate, plus a pair of purple pupils and waist-length hair, it is completely the kind of neutral style that can be male and female.
If you don't take off your clothes, whether you look from the front or from the back, you look like a long-haired beauty.
Wiggins yelled: "Boss, you have such a good figure, it's hard to imagine that you usually look so thin, and now that your clothes are dragging, you are so material, I bet that once a woman sees you undressing, she will definitely stick it upside down!"
That's right, Ye Luo is the typical type of person who looks thin when dressed and has meat when undressed!
Thomas whistled and laughed, "If the boss is willing to cut his hair, there will definitely be a dozen beautiful girls upside down, after all, no matter what woman does, she doesn't want the man next to her to look better than herself." ”
Ye Luo ignored Thomas's jokes, but seized the opportunity of temporary calm, replaced Renison, tied a belt around his waist and descended to the shore.
Renison had been working down there for almost ten minutes just now, and had only harvested ten gooseneck hanging pots, an average of one a minute, and it was not clear whether the efficiency was high or low. It's just that he also knows in his heart that this thing is too sticky, and the rocks also grow, and some of them are embedded in the rocks, which is particularly difficult to pry off.
I have to say that Ye Luo is quite unlucky, he has no experience, this has just fallen, and immediately a wave surges up, generally speaking, the appearance of waves is regular, and there will be no big waves for a few minutes after a big wave, and this time there is an exception.
Although even if he was slapped by the waves, nothing would happen, but the pain he should have still couldn't run, and he wouldn't do such a masochistic thing.
Ye Luo, who hadn't had time to 'show his skills', had to quickly ask Renison to pull him up, and waited for the waves to fall before returning to the position on the sea and priing the barnacles with his saber.
The barnacle shell is made of complex calcareous material, which looks like a shrunken volcano, and its color is gray and white, which is really ugly.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that the first person to eat crabs was a warrior.
Ye Luo believes that the first to eat gooseneck barnacles is the warrior of warriors!
After sighing with emotion, Ye Luo immediately started drying, only to see him find a place to stabilize his body, plunged the whaling knife into the top of a large barnacle's head, pressed down hard to insert the blade into it, and with the strength of his wrist, he pulled out the big barnacle at once.
"Wow, boss, well done!" Thomas, who was also replaced by Downt, shouted when he noticed Ye Luo's crisp movements.
Alice, who was held in Scarlett's arms on the shore, stared at Ye Luo with big eyes, and after seeing him drop the barnacle, her two little hands kept swinging up and down excitedly, and her mouth shouted happily: "Hey, Dad is so amazing!"
Ye Luo naturally heard his daughter's words, but he couldn't respond at all at this time, no, it should be said that he was completely attracted by the barnacles, and his eyes were always on the barnacles.
A person's explosive power is always limited, especially if you have to maintain the balance of your body with five points of strength, you will soon be exhausted, and the more you go back, the more difficult it will be to pick out the barnacles.
Just now, Renison picked out the first barnacle very neatly, it took a few seconds, but with each subsequent time, the time increased exponentially, and when he picked the last one, it took nearly two minutes.
But, don't forget, there's always a difference between people!
Ye Luo's explosive power and strength were by no means comparable to Renison's, and after picking one, he found a gap, and once again inserted the whaling knife between the barnacle and the rock, and pulled another one off with his wrist.
Over there, Thomas just picked out two, and Ye Luo here has already picked out four or five, Thomas wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw Ye Luo, he picked off another one.
In an instant, his whole body was not good.
I've been an experienced fisherman for nearly twenty years, and now I'm not as good as a layman who has only come into contact with him for the first time today. He almost doubted his life!
Before the waves were yet to rise, Ye Luo quickly picked seven or eight more, and when the waves began to roar, he roared, and Renison pulled him up with force.
On the shore, Ye Luo threw the bulging satchel on the ground, Dast poured out the gooseneck barnacles and counted them, there were twenty-eight, Thomas was embarrassed, he only got thirteen, not even half of Ye Luo.
In these two substitutions, they picked out more than 100 gooseneck barnacles.
There are more than a hundred gooseneck barnacles, most of them are more than 20 centimeters, and one is more than a catty, and if they are sold, it is a lot of wealth, however, for Daxter, it may be, but for Ye Luo, it is not.
In his opinion, such a delicious thing is not enough to eat, how can he be willing to sell it!
Ye Luo counted the number of people, even if he called Dast and their family, now these barnacles are enough, they can't be wiped out, right?
With a wave of his hand, Ye Luo put on his clothes and said, "The wind is tight, pull it!"
"Hat?" Dast and the others looked at each other, not understanding what he was talking about.
Ye Luo had no choice but to translate: "It's done, get out of here!"
"OK!" the group understood.
Back in the courtyard, Ye Luo called McCojie, who was supervising the docks, and asked him to come to the house for dinner after work in the evening, and then squatted on the ground and began to clean up these things.
Gooseneck barnacles don't just go to the pot
It was stained with a lot of mud, sand, seaweed, etc., and it was very dirty.
Daxter and the others each took a basin and divided the barnacles, and Renison said, "Boss, you go and make other preparations, pack these things up and give them to us." ”
"You leave one or two of these complexes, and I'll give you the rest. ”
Ye Luo laughed, without being polite, and directly ordered: "Wait a minute, you call your family to come over and eat together, there are still some morels left in the morning, let them come and taste them, and also, you see who goes to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and come back, who goes to the dock to see if they can catch the queen crab, if there are any, catch a few and come back." ”
Ultimately, Robert and Wiggins were responsible for cleaning the barnacles.
Thomas went to the bottom of the dock and touched a dozen queen crabs and came back, all the size of a sea bowl and very fat.
Renison goes to the farm to pick vegetables and fruits.
As for Daxter, he set up a barbecue in the yard and was responsible for the lamb chops and steaks that he had bought before the barbecue.
Ye Luo steamed the queen crab in a steamer and began to make today's main course, which is the gooseneck barnacle he has coveted for a long time.
Sea treasures are different from mountain treasures, generally do not need any cumbersome procedures, simple stewing is enough, after all, it is its umami that needs to be eaten.
The method of gooseneck barnacles is particularly simple, Ye Luo used the computer to check the method, and found that this thing can be eaten fresh with clear water soup.
Put some ginger buds and some salt in the cauldron after the leaves fall, boil the water, and put it directly into the barnacles and cook for four or five minutes.
This thing itself is particularly delicious and delicious, and there is no need to put condiments.
When it was time to boil the pot, a smell of umami came to the face, Ye Luo sniffed his nose intoxicated, and finally sprinkled some green onions, so that the color and flavor were complete, and the dish was baked.
Subsequently, Ye Luo made several more dishes, and the queen crab was also cooked, so they were brought to the table together.
Coincidentally, McCojie and Daxter's family were walking into the courtyard together, saying hello to everyone, and then finding a place to sit down.
Dast looked at the number of people, and then went to the warehouse of the soup fishery with Renison and brought back two large tables. Set up chairs in the courtyard, and two large round tables are each filled with the same seven or eight dishes, plus plates of barbecued meat, and the most important thing is a large pot of gooseneck barnacles in the middle, and a sumptuous seafood feast comes out.
"Eat, guys. Ye Luo smiled, he gave Scarlett and Alice and McCojie a gooseneck barnacle first, and then learned how to eat it from Daxter with them.
Daxter didn't hide it, and while slowing down, he taught: "Look, there is a place on the back of the horse's teeth called the opening part, which is composed of four movable carapaces composed of a back plate and a shield, as long as you pull it open, the delicious little fresh meat is waiting for you to taste inside." ”
The gooseneck barnacle looks ugly and weird, but its flesh is white and delicate, a bit like a cream popsicle, but it is very soft and warm, Ye Luo picks it out with a small dinner knife and eats it in his mouth, as long as he chews it gently, the delicious snail meat will be broken and melted.
While the others tasted the delicious food according to the method taught by Daxt, the little one Alice was anxious: "Daddy, I, I want to eat it too." ”
Hearing this, Ye Luo saw that the little guy was not strong enough to pull the barnacle on the back of the barnacle, so he reached out and took the barnacle from Alice's hand and pulled it away, but he was worried that it was too big and not delicious, and he was very careful to divide the snow-white and delicate barnacle meat into small pieces and put them in Alice's bowl.
Alice couldn't wait to grab one with her hand and stuff it into her mouth, and after chewing it a few times, her big eyes sparkled and said, "Woo, Dad, this ugly is delicious, I want more." ”
