It was getting late in the evening, and it was impractical to get back to the resort hotel in Koto Ward, which would take a long time, but it wasn't far back on land, and it didn't take an hour to sail back.
Kazuo was very familiar with this place, and he took the group to another seaside area.
By the time they arrived, it was already night, but the moon was still quite round and bright, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on the beach, shining the fine sand into a white color.
Hiroo Asano looked up at the moon, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for the favor of the moon, it gave us face today, and it is rare to show the whole picture, maybe it also knows that we are going to entertain distinguished guests today, so it will appear." ”
The place they went to was a bit like a small fishing village near the sea, but it was not a fishing village like Ryutou Village, but the terrain was flat, and there were coconut trees on the shore that are rare in Tokyo, and if you looked closely at the tide, even at night, the tide was pale green, which was a bit like a tropical island in the Indian Ocean.
After getting off the boat, Xiaoyi and her husband smiled and said, "Gentlemen, you can grab your trouser legs and jump into the water." ”
As he spoke, he jumped down first, took out his cigarette pouch and lit it, and took two puffs.
Ao Muyang tried the seawater and was immediately surprised: "Is there a warm current passing through here? No, it is impossible for the warm current to change the seawater to such a temperature." ”
The sea temperature here is relatively high, and it feels very warm from the bottom to the top when you step on the bottom of the sea, and it stands to reason that Tokyo is still very cold at this time, and the night wind blowing on the sea on the way back hurts their faces.
Xiaoyi Kazuo shook his head and said: "It's not a warm current, it's an undersea volcano, this is the territory of a large undersea volcano, it releases heat all year round, that's why it's so warm." Look, how amazing is this world?"
Ao Muyang thinks it is indeed magical, but it is also dangerous, there is such a large submarine volcano offshore, and once it erupts, it is estimated that Tokyo will be affected.
As if seeing his concern, Hiroo Asano smiled: "Don't worry, O-san, the Sumeru Daimaru volcano will not erupt, this place is very safe, and even the government wants to develop geothermal energy here." ”
"We have a hot spring to soak in the evening, come on, let's prepare a big meal first, and when we are full, let's go to the hot spring and sing a song." Xiaoyi and Fu said with great interest.
The surrounding area is a fishing village, Xiaoyi and Fu have local acquaintances, he made a phone call and a little old man with a strong man hurriedly came to pick them up, after meeting him, he hugged Xiaoyi and his husband hard, and then shouted to him with the fisherman's usual loud voice.
They followed the fisherman to a traditional Japanese house, where the fisherman's wife had prepared warm sake for them, and they braved the cold wind to enter the house, where they lit a charcoal basin, and the red flame emitted an astonishing amount of heat, so that after they had drunk two cups of hot sake, their bodies were warmed up at once.
Xiaoyi and his husband introduced Ao Muyang and his party to the fisherman, and it was inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, so they bowed to each other as usual to show their respect.
After bowing, the fisherman went back to his work, leaving the group to chat casually in the house.
Xiaoyi and her husband asked Ao Muyang and the others, "How about eating some sashimi tonight?" The bonito has sweet meat and is very suitable for sashimi in half-cooked form. ”
Land Rover smiled: "Listen to it." ”
The fisherman and his wife then brought warm wine and a few small plates of sashimi, and he said a few words to Xiaoyi and Fu, who laughed and patted the fisherman on the shoulder.
Hiroo Asano translated, "Let's go to the backyard, things are ready." ”
Ao Muyang was confused, is the thing ready?
The courtyard of the fishing village is large, with a palm tree and a green bamboo, because the surrounding geothermal energy is abundant, and both bamboo and trees still grow green.
The yard is not paved with anything, it is completely simple sand, but the sand here is as fine as on the beach, and it is a little warm when you step on it barefoot, and it is not cold.
Ao Muyang groaned and said, "This place is simply a paradise on earth. ”
Xiaoyi and Fu smiled: "No, you came at the right time, Ao Sang, do you think this place is great? But let me tell you, this place is not a resort, because once the weather starts to get hot, living here is a kind of unbearable torture!"
Ao Muyang nodded, he ignored the summer, presumably the high temperature here in the summer was unbearable.
There was a lot of hay in the courtyard, and they sat down around a spacious iron stove, and Kanedaichi lit the fire and put hay in it, while Kazuo Koi rolled up his sleeves and roasted the piercing bonito on the flame.
The fisherman was very diligent and kept adding wine to them, while his wife brought natto, takoyaki, and oden, among which the fisherman mainly promoted natto and invited them to taste it.
In Ao Muyang's eyes, natto is fermented beans, and it is the kind that has not been successfully fermented, and it is more suitable to draw silk with each other, called silk beans.
He couldn't stand the smell either, but the fisherman said that it was made by their own family, and he had to taste it, and Xiaoyi Kazuo and others had intoxicated expressions on their faces after tasting it, which also made him excited.
He was honest after the operation, it was not his cup of tea.
The fisherman's wife sent some other things, among them chicken skewers and chicken skin skewers, this chicken skin skewers also looked disgusting and wrinkled, and Ao Muyang picked up a skewer and was still dripping water, so he was at a loss - how to eat it?
Asano Hiroo saved him, he took a string and put it on the fire with an iron net and roasted it: "This is not eaten directly, Ao Sang, it has to be roasted over fire, this is dried straw harvested and dried in autumn, and it is more flavorful to grill fish and meat." ”
Ao Muyang breathed a sigh of relief, Asano Hiroo gave him a piece after roasting, so it was very suitable for his appetite, the chicken skin was very fragrant after roasting, and the wine was great.
In addition to grilled chicken skin skewers, there is also fish roe, Land Rover said that this is called Ming Taizi, that is, cod roe, to roast the whole and stuff it into the mouth, it is very enjoyable to eat.
Eating side dishes and drinking wine, the sand under the buttocks was a little warm, and the stove in front of him was even hotter, such a fisherman's dinner could make Ao Muyang and the three of them happy.
What's even cooler is that Xiaoyi and Fu directly put the bonito on the fire lit by straw and smoked it, and when it reached a certain point, he sprinkled a handful of salt on it, and the salt fell on the oily surface of the bonito and melted quickly, and some fell into the fire, snorting and suddenly bringing up the flames.
The fragrance of the grilled fish spread, Xiaoyi and Fu took the horse to slowly and rhythmically turn the grilled bonito, and when the heat was almost over, he motioned to the three of them to move: "Come on, Zhujun, use your fish knife to cut the meat and eat, you can eat whichever you like, there are raw garlic slices in front of you, you must eat them together, this is the traditional fisherman's way to eat in Kochi Prefecture, but it is very good!"
