Chapter 827: Reunion
Dungeness crab, this is Jiang Hai's current goal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dungeness crab is actually quite famous in the United States, and of course, it also has some reputation in China.
But it's not too common, this kind of crab is also called ingot crab, steamed crab, long round and looks fun.
At the same time, the taste of this crab is quite good, especially the meat yield, which is quite high.
The general blue crab is not the original native crab here in the Atlantic, the meat rate is already very high, as high as 15%, that is, a pound of crab, you can make one or two five crab meat, don't think that this is very little, the general pike crab, the meat rate is about 10%, and the Dungeness crab is as high as 24%, but the main production area of this crab is concentrated in the Pacific United States.
Jiang Hai's current location is the Atlantic Ocean, so he shouldn't actually have Dungeness crabs here.
But it's like the Argentine red shrimp that should appear in Antarctica, he has appeared here, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to appear Dungeness crabs, Jiang Hai found these crabs a long time ago, but the number of these crabs is not much, and it is definitely not possible to sell them for money, but they are used to eat, and it is enough, after determining these crabs, Jiang Hai also dived next to them.
At first, they were caught one by one, and people who had never caught crabs were easily caught by crabs.
However, Jiang Hai is not an ordinary person after all, his reaction speed, as well as his experience, will not be caught by crabs.
One by one, the crabs were quickly picked up by Jiang Hai, after all, they were crabs in the sea that were still alive, and the meat of the crabs was quite full, unlike the crabs that were bought in some places far from the coastline, where the meat was much empty.
This is actually a very normal natural law, after the crab is caught, it will not eat again.
What is consumed is the meat in its body, but the fishermen have brought up the crabs and sold them to the merchants, and the merchants cannot only sell them for one day, and if they are put for a week, the crabs will become empty crabs, and no one can do anything about this.
Not only in China, people who are not on the beach can't buy good crabs, but also in the United States.
But then again, why do Chinese people eat crabs on the Mid-Autumn Festival? In fact, this is also said.
When did the custom of eating crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival begin, Jiang Hai doesn't know, but he can be sure that he must have eaten them in the Tang Dynasty, because Li Bai once had a poem saying: Crab claws are gold liquid, and the bad hill is Penglai, and you must drink fine wine and get drunk on the high platform by the moon.
Here is the comparison of crab legs to a golden pill that can ascend to immortals, Song Zhisu is also a person who likes to eat crabs, and he will not live up to his eyes if he does not eat crabs in Lushan. That's what he said.
And the old saying is also passed down, the autumn wind sounds, and the crab feet itch.
So I don't know when it started, but every year after the beginning of autumn, it's a good time to eat crabs.
And the first big festival after the beginning of autumn is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but according to Jiang Hai's estimate, the crabs praised by the ancients should be river crabs, sea crabs, it seems that there are not many people who eat them.
But Jiang Haicai doesn't care about those, there are crabs to eat, this is the happiest.
Quickly grabbed this nest of crabs, and after catching more than 30 crabs, Jiang Hai began to look for abalone.
There are a lot of abalone on Jiang Hai's side, and all of them are wild, not farmed, lying in those reefs and coral groups one by one, holding a knife and parting, it is one, Jiang Hai picks the nature of the largest kind.
Soon, he got almost more than 60 abalones, packed in the pocket he carried, I have to admit that Jiang Hai here whether it is abalone or Dungeness crab, it is not ordinarily big, the largest Dungeness crab is to grow to three catties, 1.5 kilograms of weight, and Jiang Hai picked all of them are more than two catties, that is to say, more than 30 of these things, there are about 70 catties.
And those abalones, Jiang Hai picked one that had to be more than a catty, a catty of abalone, although it was not a regular abalone catty, but this was already very terrifying, more than sixty, this is more than sixty catties, adding up to more than one hundred and thirty catties.
If it weren't for Jiang Hai, it would be really difficult for ordinary people to get it, carrying two huge bags, Jiang Hai swam to the side of the boat, and then forced, after throwing the two bags onto the boat, he also flipped over to the boat, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he can breathe underwater, but breathing underwater, I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, he always feels a little panicked, or it's more comfortable to breathe on the boat, slow down, after taking off the diving suit on his body, Jiang Hai wiped the water droplets on his body, changed into his own clothes, and then drove the boat to the dock quickly.
After placing the two bags of seafood he caught and the huge king crab on the quad bike, he also rode directly on the motorcycle and drove towards his family, and after a short time, Jiang Hai had already returned to his villa.
Seeing that Jiang Hai came over with seafood, the women here also immediately greeted him and began to help clean up these things.
In fact, abalone and crab don't need to be cleaned up too much, after all, they are not like ordinary shellfish.
After the shellfish is brought up, it is cleaned up and then put in clean water to let it spit out mud.
Otherwise, there is no way to eat it at all, a mouthful of shellfish, half a mouthful of sand, how can you eat this?
And although abalone is also considered a shellfish, but because its meat is very large, the main thing is that the shell, internal organs and other things, when you eat them, you have to throw them away, as for crabs, although they also eat puree, but because they eat this thing, they only eat the meat inside, so it's okay, what? Eat yellow? Well, in fact, the sea crabs around the Mid-Autumn Festival are no longer yellow.
Sea crabs breed in April and May, which means that they are yellow at that time, and they are not yellow in September.
And the river crabs are yellow at this time, because they also have to abide by the rules of the creatures on land.
Mating in the spring and laying eggs in the fall, so eating sea crabs now means eating meat.
However, although neither of these things needs to rest and spit sand, the abalone still needs to be brushed.
The main purpose is to brush off the dirt on the shell, so that when it is cooked for a while, the taste will be better.
I have to admit that sometimes a lot of people is easy to do, and with the efforts of Afra and the others, the abalone shell was quickly made.
After looking at the time, with Qi Ya's order, everyone also began to cook together.
"Jiang Hai, go pick up Tarlac!" Looking at the busy crowd, Galina, who was originally going to pick up Taraga, couldn't help but push this job to Jiang Hai, these days, it was Galina who came to pick up Tarak to and from school.
"Okay!" In Winthrop, Jiang Hai was not afraid that someone would deal with him, so he responded with a smile.
Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, schools in the United States will not be closed because of traditional Chinese festivals, so Tarak still has to go to school, hearing Galina's words, Jiang Hai also got up from the sofa, picked up the car keys and left the house.
Qi Jie and Qi Ya are quite accustomed to Jiang Hai, in fact, Feng Yunchen and Ai Xiaoxi are also quite accustomed to Jiang Hai, in their opinion, what men should do is not the same as what women should do.
For example, tidying up the house, cooking and the like, this is what a woman should do, big man, don't meddle at will.
Jiang Hai, a lazy person, likes their idea very much, so in normal times, if he can't work, he won't do it.
But picking up people and the like, Jiang Hai was still very happy, holding the car keys, Jiang Hai's own battle shield.
Touching the car again, Jiang Hai was full of emotion, in a sense, this car had already saved himself twice.
If you say which one of his cars is the best, it is undoubtedly this one, and which one is the most useless one to buy, it is that Rolls-Royce, since the car was bought, Jiang Hai has driven it less than twenty times.
It's really because there is no need to drive this car, Jiang Hai doesn't go out to talk about business, and he doesn't go out to load 13, and then he installs 13, his battle shield is enough for him to load, and he doesn't have enough important guests to drive this car to meet.
He was even thinking about whether to give this car to Zheng Jin, after all, she is now the general manager of her own company, and it is not too much to have a good car, while thinking, Jiang Hai drove the car and left the manor quickly, heading towards Winthrop's only high school at present, and when he arrived here, he found that there were only a few minutes left before school, and there were a lot of cars lined up at the school gate, so Jiang Hai parked the car directly on the periphery, but his car had just stopped, and many car owners in front of him looked at him, But they just looked at it, Jiang Hai and them were not the same dimensional existence.
But they still heard about the turmoil a while ago, and now seeing Jiang Hai appear here, it means that his matter has been resolved, just as a few people were looking at Jiang Hai there, the school bell rang.
American high schools are still fundamentally different from Chinese high schools, American high schools leave school very early, and there is hardly any tutoring, of course, if you participate in extracurricular activities club, that's another story, but generally speaking, American high school students will not be less than five o'clock in the evening, if you still want to study, want to get into a good university, then you have to go back to self-study, or go to find a tutor or something, but Taraga doesn't need these yet, because she can't keep up.
Winthrop left school at half past four every day, the bell rang, and after waiting for about ten minutes, Taraga walked out of the school gate with two girls, one black and one white, who were supposed to be her best friends.
And when she saw Jiang Hai, a smile instantly appeared on her face, and Jiang Hai was also very relieved to see the smile on her face. (To be continued.) )
