Chapter 3 The blue sea and the red sky
The fire in the brazier was lit, and the wood on the ship was counted, and the amount was quite large, but Fang Hong just couldn't be happy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The bait is off!
When fighting with the shark, Fang Hong opened his backpack and pulled out the axe, but Fang Hong didn't have time to care about the bait when it fell, and didn't think about it until afterwards.
"Now, the bait I use for fishing is gone, and I've heard people say don't put your eggs in one basket, you just don't have a long memory."
"Now I'm going to try fishing with shark meat as bait, but ...... The probability of success is very low, and as a creature at the top of the food chain, there are basically no fish that have ever tasted this strange meat, and they will not attract fish. ”
"If I can attract something, I'm afraid it's another shark."
"If it's still early, I can try my luck by going into the water to catch it with my bare hands, but now it's getting dark, and going to sea again is like killing me."
Fang Hong picked up the fin: "I originally cut this off as a souvenir, but now...... I had to think about eating it. If I don't replenish my calories and energy, if it rains at night, then this sea area will be my graveyard. ”
Holding the shark fin, Fang Hong was also a little hesitant This shark fin was enough to make Fang Hong's meal, but yes, in front of thousands of spectators, eat such a thing as shark fin......
Fang Hong wanted to turn off the live broadcast, but saw the words of the sailor: "Don't Brother Gun, we support you, in order to survive, eating animal meat is the law of survival, you are fighting sharks with your bare hands, not commercial fishing." ”
The number of sharks in the world's seas is actually quite large, generally between billions and billions, but most of them are juvenile small sharks, and commercial fishing is a despised behavior, and there are slogans everywhere that say no trade, no killing.
"I don't sell it...... Then I'll ......" Fang Hong made up his mind: "Okay, I'll eat." ”
Picking up the shark fin, Fang Hong suddenly laughed and laughed at himself: "I have learned two dishes since I was a child, but I have never made them, I thought I would never make these two dishes, but I didn't expect ......"
"In ancient times, sharks were called sandfish, and the Compendium of Materia Medica has a clear record of sharks. Before the Song Dynasty, stir-frying was not popular, so there would be many other cooking methods, one was called stew, and the other was called claypot. ”
Fang Hong separated the skin and cartilage on the fins, shredded the cartilage, and removed the flesh: "When sailing at sea, remember to throw the remaining food into the sea, in that case, the hull of the ship will be stained with bloody gas, all kinds of large carnivorous fish may follow this breath to attack the ship, these accessories, can only be thrown in the barrel, fortunately, I wrote the list when I rented the boat, and now the things on it are all available." ”
Fang Hong spread out the separated shark skin and put it on the cutting board, and used a knife to separate the fat and skin: "There are two very famous menus in Chinese history, one is the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, and the other is the menu of Zhang Jun's banquet to Song Gaozong, which includes two shark dishes, one of which needs to use shark meat, the remaining shark meat on our fins is not enough ingredients, and the two dishes we have to make are the sandfish stew in the menu and the very common shark fin pot." ”
"Braised is a cooking technique in which food is fried in oil and then simmered with broth. Shark oil can be used to fry fish skin. Sharks don't have as much fat as mammals, so this oil can only be used for cooking, and it may not be able to make the original taste of this dish. ”
After processing the shark skin and shark fat, Fang Hong cleaned the shark fin, and finally boiled water in an antimony pot first: "This time I went to the sea, I didn't bring rice, because the sea is a place with rich resources, I will look for ingredients at sea, as for vitamin C intake, I brought a bottle of chili sauce, which will provide me with enough vitamin C." ”
Shark fin is simmered in broth, and when the soup is almost ready, the iron pot starts to ignite: "No matter what kind of animal fat you refine, you must heat the pot, otherwise it will stick to the pot." ”
A little bit of shark oil in the pot can't make too much oil, after seeing the oil, Fang Hong immediately put the sliced shark skin into the pot: "I'm worried that the oil will turn into oil smoke and disappear, so there is no time to hesitate." ”
"In history, the first person to invent stir-frying, I am afraid that it was also because the amount of oil was not enough when making stew, and the first stir-fry was completed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the location was Kaifeng."
Stir-fry is actually only 1,000 years old, while stew cooking is three or four thousand years old.
The shark skin soon exuded a fragrance, and Fang Hong looked embarrassed: "There is too little oil, I don't even need to wash the pot." Picking up the antimony pot and pouring in part of the soup, a simple sandfish stew was roughly completed, and Fang Hongyao added a small spoonful of chili sauce: "Use hot sauce instead of ginger, shark has a stronger fishy smell than any fish." ”
The shark fin, which was supposed to be dried and then cooked, turned into fresh shark fin, and the sand fish stew, which was not enough oil, was Fang Hong's first meal at sea.
"Shark fin nutrition is similar to pig's trotters, the taste is similar to vermicelli, usually everyone has no need to eat shark fin, and the taste of pork stewed vermicelli is similar to that of a famous dish in Northeast China."
"What's more, this thing is not dried, it is not stewed, and the taste is extremely poor."
Life is like a drama all depends on acting skills: "Why is this the most advanced meal in Brother Gun's live broadcast career, but it makes people feel that it is the most unpalatable?" ”
"What do you know, don't you believe in Brother Gun's craftsmanship, he said this just to make everyone not eat shark fin."
Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "The fishy smell is really unavoidable, originally these two dishes did not have chili peppers as an adjunct, but without chili peppers, it is really difficult to swallow." Objectively speaking, there is a reason why spicy taste is prevalent, and spicy is the easiest compared to any means of removing fishy smells. ”
Everyone watched Fang Hong eating shark fin and sandfish stew, and a call for reward struck.
Fang Hong looked at the time: "It's currently four o'clock in the evening BJ time, three o'clock in the afternoon Greenland time, and it's going to be dark." ”
"I will sail until eleven o'clock in the evening in the dark, to avoid the Titan being carried to the deep sea area by the low tide, and the brothers who can't hold on can go to bed first, and come back to see after getting up."
"It doesn't matter Brother Gun, I'm in New York, and it's also three o'clock in the afternoon, I'll be with you."
"Damn, the popularity of the live broadcast room has spread to North America?"
"Someone brushed the documentary of the first issue of Brother Gun in Youtu Turtle, and it is very popular at present, with hundreds of thousands of hits and tens of thousands of comments."
The water friends rolled their eyes: "It's not as popular as the live broadcast room, when SC Satellite TV broadcasts live, the number of viewers has reached 13 million." ”
"Big brother, this is North America, not China, where can there be more people than China!"
"Yes, Ah San can do it."
"Reasonable, irrefutable."
After eating, Fang Hong began to pay attention to the problem of driving.
The boat is not a sailboat in the traditional sense of the word, nor a speedboat or a small yacht in the traditional sense, but a converted one-man fishing boat.
So there is a mast and a sail, but you can't open the sail in the first half of the road, because the wind is not in the right direction, and when you find the North Atlantic current, you can sail.
Now Fang Hong can only rely on the ship's engine to advance, and the fuel reserve is not much, but it is enough to Iceland.
The ship is equipped with an artificial thatch, a lodging compartment, a storage compartment under the deck, a mast in the bow that can take off and land, the hull is 4.6 meters wide and 7 meters long, the whole is square, and the bow is raised so high to prevent it from being overturned by large waves.
The boat went out for a long time and did not encounter too many waves.
"Due to the climate, there is a lot of rain in the winter off the coast of Greenland, although the amount is not large, but 70% of the time it is rainy, today is cloudy, but there is not much rain, and the wind and waves are not big."
At this time, the camera captures the far sea in the south, the North Pole at the beginning of the long night, and the sunlight from the south is dispersed into two streams, one projected above the clouds and the other under the ocean, and the middle is pitch black.
In the distance, you can see the crimson skyline.
The open sea is a deep blue sea.
Only in the middle, it is always dim, and further north, it is pitch black.
"If you go a little further north, you'll be in the polar night, but we'll have to go around Greenland and go all the way south, and we'll have to get to Iceland by October 19, otherwise we'll have less than two hours of daylight left every day, which won't be enough."
To the south, it is like a warm paradise, and to the north, it is like a demonic abyss.
Fang Hong was going to lead to the warm Cape Favir, turning his head to face north.
"Perhaps, we'll be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, but it's more likely that there wasn't a single clear night sky during the entire voyage."
