Chapter 59: Fresh Soup and Canned Food
Thank God for the good weather!
It was a sunny day, the sea was calm, and the sea temperature was suitable, so it was really pleasant to go into the water for a swim. Fastest updates
Although this is a "poor sea", there are few underwater reefs, and there is no preparation in advance, and there is a lack of professional tools to "touch the sea". But Hong Yanwu and the others are masters of the "Star Star", and where well-equipped people can't get the seafood, they still have a way.
Therefore, half an hour after the collective launch, a small pile of seafood was piled up on the shore. These "trophies" are enough for everyone to eat.
Hong Yanwu fished more than a dozen sea cucumbers and eight conchs, and the "general" and Chen Liquan caught 20 scallops and more than a dozen abalone because they could break abalone by hand without using "sticks".
As for the "dead corpses", most of them are "big road goods" such as "thorny pots". In this comparison, we can see the difference in the level between the "sea bumpers".
What I didn't expect the most was that Yang Weifan was so interested that he also wanted to experience the life of "Hai Bangzi", so he took off his military uniform and went into the water with him.
And this kid's "Zha Mengzi" is not very good, so he can only follow the "dead corpse" to fish for some "Mao Haihong" in the shallow water. But these gains are enough for this kid to be happy, so he screams "enjoyable".
After fishing for the seafood, the first thing to do is to expel the cold of the body.
If it is launched in spring, autumn, or early winter, the "sea bumper" must be baked as soon as it is ashore. But summer is different, and it is basically enough to warm up your body by the heat on the beach.
It's just that this taste is not so pleasant, the cool air of the stomach seeps out, and the outside is the heat that can almost stew eggs inside. Hot and cold, both pleasant and uncomfortable. It's really making people cry and laugh.
People like Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan who have practiced "platoon fighting", or "generals" and "dead corpses" who have been in the sea all year round can still tolerate it.
But although Yang Weifan is a soldier, he is also strong and muscular. But he was a fair-skinned little fresh meat, which had not been beaten by the wind and waves, and sharpened by sand and stones, but he really couldn't bear it. I just lay down for less than a minute before I jumped up, and my body was also a lot red.
At this time, he looked at the others, still stretching out their limbs, lying like geckos and burning to death, he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, and it was another sentence of "bull break!"
However, in the life process of "Sea Encounter", what moved Yang Weifan the most was, of course, the moment of eating.
Looking at the red flames, listening to the roaring waves, the seafood in the fire emitted the "puff" heat, and the small pot on the reef gurgling and bubbling fresh, this scene can not help but make people salivate and have a great appetite.
Yang Weifan twitched his nose carefully, staring hungrily at the bowl of hot soup that the "general" had brought out for him.
But he was dumbfounded when he held it, because it was just a pot of white boiling water, and there was nothing in it.
It was still the "general" who greeted cordially, "Taste, appetize." He took a sip with suspicion, but he didn't expect that the rich taste was actually wonderful that he couldn't describe at all, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so fresh!"
Then he didn't care about the heat, so he blew and sucked and poured a whole bowl.
Let's take a look at the taste of the mouth, and then ask questions.
"What kind of good thing is this? It's not sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, snails, and you can't see anything in the soup, but how can it be so delicious?"
I didn't expect the "dead corpse" to tell him, saying, "That's the "sea belly eye soup", a cheap thing that is not worth it. ”
Yang Weifan couldn't believe it at all, his face was full of surprise and he was still pondering the taste repeatedly, which made everyone laugh "hahaha" on the spot.
It turns out that the freshest thing in the sea is precisely the cheapest thing.
The "sea eye" is actually a small mollusk like steel that grows on the reef, and it has a small hole in the middle, and as long as you squeeze it hard, this small hole will "" spew out a stream of water.
And the water that spews out is a thousand times fresher than the "red plum" monosodium glutamate, you don't need to put anything, as long as you boil it in the boiling water, whoever drinks it can be recognized by your parents, and you are so fresh that you turn your head on the beach!
In the past, after going ashore to roast the fire, the "Hai Bangzi" relied on a bowl of soup cooked by "Hai Bao Yan'er" to restore his vitality. As long as you pour it into your stomach, the heat will overflow immediately, and the blood will stretch, which is more effective than Lao Baigan.
"Incredible, incredible! The sea is amazing! You guys are amazing! I think you're like the real masters of the sea!"
After Yang Weifan learned about the situation through the "sea bumpers", he couldn't help but sigh again and again, and the last sentence was even more praised in everyone's hearts. Except for Hong Yanwu, everyone is beautiful, and his good impression of him has increased a lot.
However, Yang Weifan is really good at being a man, and he is a bit of a righteous and squandering money.
He didn't plan to eat the seafood of the "sea bumpers" for nothing in the first place. Not only did he open the two bottles of Moutai without feeling distressed, but he also took out several cans from the car for everyone to taste.
It was all a kilogram of large cans, standard military supplies. It was the first time I saw them, and they were all a little excited. When I opened it, I was even more excited, one was braised pork, one was luncheon meat, and the other was peanuts.
They were all real old men, and there was a burst of cheers, and a few enamel white jars were filled with wine, and they started to move one after another.
At this time, there is a clear difference, Yang Weifan focuses on seafood such as "spiced conch" and "charcoal-grilled abalone", and eats some peanuts as if he were canned. However, the "sea bumpers" all rubbed canned meat, but abandoned the seafood grilled on the fire.
However, this can be regarded as a place for each person, and the partners who are already hungry have a hearty and comfortable meal.
Halfway through eating, I started to enter the chat and drinking program. After a hiccup, the "dead corpse" asked Yang Weifan very curiously, saying that he found that the cans all looked the same, and how did the soldiers of the army distinguish them?
Yang Weifan smiled and said, "You popularize marine knowledge for me, then I will also tell you something about the army." ”
In this way, the "sea bumpers" quickly learned some interesting information about military canned food through Yang Weifan's narration.
At that time, all the canned food was white iron canned food, and the main flow was to the coastal defense ship units, and the army only the plateau troops could enjoy this kind of treatment.
In fact, this kind of white iron sheet was very expensive at that time, and could not be produced in China, and it was a kind of thin iron plate imported from "Macao", with tin plating on the surface and preventing corrosion. Since "Macau" is "macao" in English, it is commonly known as "tinplate".
And it is precisely because this material has to be purchased in foreign exchange that the state prefers one kilogram of military canned food, which saves two lids of iron sheets compared with 500 grams. As for the canned boxes left over after eating the cans, the purchase price of the waste company is also very high, about two cents a piece, and it is often used in a variety of ways.
Some soldiers used it as a flower pot, and the family scrubbed it clean as a spice box, soap box, sundries box, etc., and some people even made it into a huqin, erhu (a large canned food box with a kilogram of food) and banhu (a small canned food box with a capacity of 500 grams), and the acoustics were okay.
Speaking of which, on the Korean battlefield, the canned food of American soldiers was also made of this material. However, people can take it seriously, except for throwing it around, hanging it on the barbed wire, making a sound when you touch it, and preventing the volunteers from sneaking up at night.
As for the question of how to tell. That's right, military cans do not have an outer coating packaging, and there are no words on it. At first glance, it's all canned, and it's hard to figure out what's inside.
But in fact, it is not completely undistinguished, because at that time, the canned food was classified by the combination of letters and Arabic numerals on the lid with "sample chong", and the letters were generally "g", which is the prefix of "can" in Chinese pinyin, and then the Arabic numerals were used to divide different varieties of red roast meat, luncheon meat, cold vegetables, peanuts and rice.
Interestingly, the largest and most common canned "braised pork" is numbered exactly "8". If it is pronounced, the combination of "g" and "8" in Chinese pronunciation produces a homonym similar to that of the man below.
What's even more interesting is that among all the canned food, the one that the soldiers are most likely to dislike is precisely the canned braised pork that is now stuffed by "Hai Bangzi".
Because the preparation of this braised pork is completed under high-pressure steam, and the final canning is all "solids", and there is basically no lean meat.
People who lack oil and water taste it for the first time, of course, they feel that it tastes good. It won't take long to get greasy.
If it is better in the cold season, the oil condenses, and the broth also condenses into "frozen", and it can barely be eaten in pieces. If you want to stew it with cabbage and tofu, there are vegetables to eat hot, which is also considered to have a unique flavor.
The most afraid is that when it is hot now, the people in the army can take out a few pieces of lean meat and eat two bites after opening the can, and the remaining slurry mixed with oil and broth will not be loved by anyone.
There is a saying in the navy that "I don't like to eat pork after eating it for a long time", which is by no means bragging. In the Bincheng Military Port, the logistics department of the headquarters once sent a discussion to the troops to solicit opinions, and the most common opinion that came back was, "That canned "jiba" is the most unpalatable!"
At first, the leaders of the troops thought that the soldiers did not like to eat canned food, and they wondered in their hearts, but later they inspected the factory and understood that everyone just didn't like to eat canned "G8" braised pork.
"Hahaha!"
Listening to Yang Weifan's introduction was really interesting, and no one couldn't help laughing.
The most amazing thing is that the "dead corpse" followed and spared, "There are not only 'sea eyes' in the sea, but also 'sea (****!'"
"Poof!" Yang Weifan was about to swallow a mouthful of Moutai squirted out, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Really, tell me about ......."
