Chapter 9 How to eat scallops
Until late at night, some people are not ready to go home, and there is a great tendency to work all night. Because the sea is calm, the fishermen are also more bold and form teams to go further into the sea.
Each fishing boat is lit with bright headlights, not to make it easier to see the road, but to lure fish into the sea. These lights are called fish trap lights, and many marine fish in the ocean have the habit of phototaxis, and the lights can often lure them to come.
In fact, it is not only used by fishermen and fishing boats, but also by anglers. Friends who have the opportunity to fish can also try to add fish trap lights in the online group, and some are called fish collection lights. Chinese sea anglers don't believe in this thing, they always use bait.
However, it is quite common for foreign fishermen to use fish trap lamps as an additional tool, including our close neighbor, little Japan.
Of course, it is impossible for a backward fishing village like Tangjia Village to use professional fish trap lights. It is said that the professional fish trap lamp takes advantage of the phototaxis in the sense of most fish species, and integrates a specific luminous attraction scheme to realize the call and lure of fish in deeper water areas, and increase the catch per unit of operation time, which has extremely high economic value.
Wei Hang naturally wouldn't stay up late with those people, and at about eleven o'clock, a few people packed up their things and went home, ready to have supper. His mother and Aunt Xu both went back half an hour early, so the scallop supper should be about the same, right?
"Okay, you all rest for a while! Wei Mu said to Wei Hang and the others who had just entered the door.
There are many ways to make scallops, and as authentic fishing village women, whether it is Wei's mother or Aunt Xu, they know all about these tasks, and they can make a few delicious dishes blindfolded.
The most classic way to eat is steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, which is a dish that is loved by both country and city people. To be honest, for the way to eat, although everyone's taste is different, they all have something in common, and there is no difference between rich and poor. It's the same dish, but it's just that the decoration is different, and the place is different.
"It's true that this stuff is delicious, but it's a hassle to wash. Father Wei didn't plan to help, so he sat on the stool and drank tea.
His words were true, and the two women came back for half an hour, not long after the scallops were cleaned.
They first rinse the sand from the shells with clean water. Then, with a knife, he reached into the shell and split it in two, cutting the flesh inside the shell. At this point, you will see that the shell has meat on both sides. Next, the knife is pressed against the bottom of the shell to remove the flesh completely. In this step, the knife must be close to the bottom of the shell in order to remove the whole shell.
After separating the shells, they had to clean the shells and use knives to remove the entrails, which looked black. Then place the whole shellfish in a large bowl. Add a little salt, soak in salted water for two or three minutes, and rotate the scallops clockwise with chopsticks, the purpose of which is to sink the sediment on the surface of the scallops to the bottom of the bowl.
Remove the shellfish, pour out the water in the large bowl just now, put an appropriate amount of cornstarch in the bowl, then put the shellfish in the bowl, and gently scrub the shellfish with your hands. In this way, the cornstarch will completely remove the sediment remaining in the shellfish. After the last meat, wash it with water again, and the shellfish will be processed.
Cornstarch is the name of the countryside, and it is indispensable for making tofu and the like, and it is mostly used for thickening. Actually, it's starch.
In addition to thickening the food and giving it a smooth texture, cornstarch is also commonly used as one of the marinades to soften the meat. Cornstarch has a wide range of uses, it can be used as a seasoning when stir-frying, and can also be used to spread pancakes, mainly used for sizing and thickening meat raw materials in processing.
However, the source of cornstarch is different in different places. The corn starch used in the inland is potato flour, which also becomes starch, the corn flour used in Hong Kong is corn flour, and the common flour used in Taiwan is Taibai flour.
Ten minutes later, two large plates of steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli are ready. Wei Hang slipped into the kitchen with great hospitality and brought out the food. As soon as it was put on the table, he habitually took a scallop in his hand and ate it.
Suddenly felt a burst of cold light on his back, Wei Hang looked back, and found that his mother was warning with her eyes, and Aunt Xu was watching with a smile from the side. He smiled, the scallops in his hand became hot, he couldn't eat it, he couldn't eat it, he couldn't put it back again, right?
Of course, there is also an unruly one. That was Wei Hang's little sister Wei Lan, and she didn't see her mother's warning gaze, so she picked one up and blew it with her small mouth, and ate it by herself.
She looked back and realized that something was not quite right: "Brother, why are you stunned?"
Wei Hang glanced at it with his eyes and motioned to his little sister: Mom is looking at it!
Wei Lan's face changed at this time, but this girl's adaptability is not bad, and she immediately picked up another one and pulled Zhang Xueru into the water, and the old mother would definitely not say anything.
"Sister Ru, you can eat one too, Aunt Xu and my mother's craftsmanship is really good. "A sycophant in disguise.
This time, it was Zhang Xueru's turn to be embarrassed. I also understood this little sister's intentions, and ate it according to her momentum, the so-called difficulties are in the same place! Sure enough, this time Wei's mother has nothing to say.
Wei Hang glanced at the girl with appreciative eyes, and secretly said that you can be a girl!
"Come on, come on, let's move the chopsticks!" Father Wei came out again to relieve his daughter. Every time this happens, as a father, he will step forward. The love for this girl is obviously more than Weihang. It is said that the daughter is the lover of her father's previous life, and it seems that there is some truth in this.
"It's a bit of a lot of fans. "Wei Lan doesn't like to eat vermicelli very much, and gets vermicelli into her brother's bowl.
Wei's mother glared again, this was a signature move to teach her daughter: "As far as you talk a lot, you are good at calculating, eat the delicious food yourself, and leave the bad food for your brother." ”
"It's all right! The vermicelli soaked up the freshness of the scallops, the aroma of the garlic, and the saltiness of the soy sauce, and I thought it was delicious. "Wei Hang doesn't care.
Wei's mother also knew that the two fathers and sons doted on the girl, so they didn't continue to lecture.
This scene fell in Zhang Xueru's eyes, somewhat envious, in the past, her sisters were also very favored by their father, but unfortunately their father left too early.
Wei's mother sandwiched a good scallop and put it in Zhang Xueru's bowl: "Xueru eat more." ”
"Okay, thank you, Auntie! I'll just clip it myself. Zhang Xueru was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said.
Subsequently, at the dinner table, there was a talk about the cooperation between the two companies to purchase scallops. In view of the inconvenience of fresh shellfish transportation and the limited price, the two companies are ready to make dried scallops, and then Weihang is responsible for selling them, and the profit is halved by the two companies.
"Well, it's late. Xiaohang, you send Xueru back with your Aunt Xu, be careful on the way. "Mother Wei is doing everything possible to create opportunities for her son!
"No, I'll just go back with my mom by myself. Zhang Xueru hurriedly spoke.
Xu Jing didn't speak, she was also happy to see this happen, and she also did everything possible to create opportunities for her daughter. According to Wei Hang's current situation, she predicts that this guy will become a rich man in the future, and her daughter is not wrong with him.
Moreover, it won't be long before the daughters of other families in the village will also be introduced to the door, right? Her daughter has little education, and her family background is not very good, so she has no advantages, which is what she is most worried about. I thought about it just now, how to cook these two guys into raw rice.
If Zhang Xueru and Wei Hang knew what this woman thought, they would probably be dumbfounded, right?
