Chapter Eighty-Nine

Xia Jingyu did not forget that the most important purpose of her visit this time was to see if she could sort out the seafood and fish along a commercial route that could provide long-term seafood for the restaurant.

At this time, she cleared her throat and began to explain her intentions: "Aunt Duan, I came back this time, not only to take my eldest son home to see, but also to do more important things. I may need your help in this matter. ”

Duan Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and then a restrained smile appeared on her face: "Miss Xia is laughing at us, what can help you in this small place in the middle of nowhere?" ”

Xia Jingyu didn't say much, and went straight to the point: "My friend wants to open a hotel and needs a few special dishes, he thinks that Shicheng is still relatively close to the seaside, so he wants me to find some fixed people, open up a fixed route, and transport the fish from the sea to Shicheng." She paused nonchalantly, "This job must be beneficial, the fish your family catches now are either changed for fresh water, or for some spices necessary for life, most of them are exchanged for real goods, if you promise us this deal, in exchange for the real copper plate." ”

Duan Jinxiu was a little moved, but then shook his head: "This method sounds good, but if it is really feasible, we will not be so poor here for a long time, there were people who had the idea of seafood, but the sea fish we have here, except for the small yellow croaker, big-headed fish, catfish, the rest taste average, plus the seafood tastes fishy, our coastal people eat habits, the rest of the people may not be used to it, someone once hit the idea here, take some sea fish from us, and sell them after they are done, But the road is far away, and the fish almost died halfway through, and the taste of dead fish is already a lot worse than that of live fish, not to mention. The locals were not used to this, so they had to give up in the end. ”

Xia Jingyu thought of this, there are many kinds of seafood, and she had also been to the beach in her previous life. I ordered a table of strange shellfish and fish at a seafood restaurant, and when I ate it to the end, my stomach churned for a long time, and I couldn't help but vomit.

But around Stone City, let alone sea fish. There aren't even many serious lake fish, she thought about picking five or six more reliable sea fish, the taste would not be too exaggerated, and then handle it better, someone must want it.

Xia Jingyu decided to try the taste of various fish first, and then decide which fish to take with him, Xia Jingyu proposed to want a few more common fish, and he wanted to borrow Duan Jinxiu's kitchen to try to make them, but in this way, Duan Jinxiu's fish could not be taken to the town and then sold. When Xia Jingyu made this request, she paused, and deliberately looked at San'er's eyes, but don't make this little girl unhappy again.

San'er was embarrassed by Xia Jingyu, turned his head, the little man shrank back, Duan Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"What's so big about this little thing, the girl is already a great kindness to my family, and with the things that the girl brought, I don't know how much our family's living conditions have improved. These fish are now all given to the girl, and they are no match for the things that the girl gave us. ”

Xia Jingyu didn't have much idea about her long politeness, and since she began to help Duan Jinxiu's family one after another, Duan Jinxiu's attitude towards her has become more and more polite. She didn't bother to correct anything, after all, Duan Jinxiu was a person with a more positive outlook, she didn't see money, and she didn't have that kind of flattery, she was just a little polite, and it was still within her tolerance.

Since Duan Jinxiu agreed to borrow the kitchen. She made an inventory of the fish they had caught, and sure enough, there were small yellow croaker, big head fish, and hairtail, and some fish that Duan Jinxiu couldn't name, and a large handful of scattered crabs, shrimp, and some oysters with shells. Duan Jinxiu took a little rice and noodles from home again, and when she came back, she brought a few catfish and a few other unknown fish, she put the fish she brought into the water, wiped her hands, and smiled embarrassedly:

"Those of us who are scattered fishermen, the varieties that come every day are different, thinking that the girl is going to be busy with big things, so I quickly changed some from others, and the girl picks and chooses by herself to see if there can be something she likes."

Xia Jingyu couldn't help but be moved, she looked at Duan Jinxiu with some embarrassment: "I don't know how to deal with live fish, can you help......

Duan Jinxiu didn't wait for her to finish, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen and get a kitchen knife, obviously blaming herself: "It's me who is too careless, a person like a girl who is so expensive can afford such a rough job as killing fish, the girl can go to the kitchen to get familiar with it first, and I will clean it up and send it to you later." ”

Xia Jingyu couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and paced into the kitchen, Su Cheng stayed outside and had nothing to do, and followed in, Duan Jinxiu's kitchen was very small, and after entering the two people, he couldn't turn back, Xia Jingyu stood there, staring blankly at the dirty kitchen, Su Cheng also looked at the kitchen, and the two didn't speak.

Xia Jingyu read all the spices on the table, and almost collapsed, only oil and salt, no vinegar, no pepper, no ginger, no green onions, what should I do, these oils were still when she saw that Duan Jinxiu's family even regarded the oil bowls they had eaten as treasures, and she thought of sending them, but she forgot about it, this kitchen, in addition to the heating function, what else can there be.

Although Su Cheng doesn't often go into the kitchen, he also remembers the rows and rows of spices in his kitchen, he patted Xia Jingyu on the shoulder: "It's okay, even if there are no seasonings, the fish made can still be judged by the delicious meat Cheng dΓΉ, let's set some fish according to this first, plus we have a smart sister like Su Xiuxiu, I believe she can handle these things without a teacher." At present, the most important thing is to prepare a way to transport these fish back alive and give Wei Zeyuan an explanation. ”

Xia Jingyu was also relieved, when he roasted the fish, he didn't have so many constraints and tensions, he did a lot of what he wanted, and he really treated it as a home-cooked dish - it was almost the same after a little heating, and then after the dishes were served, the fish with only salt was of course fishy, and it couldn't be braised either, it could only be a piece of white, Xia Jingyu and Sioux City Ninja fishy smell, tried them one by one, and finally made a choice for a while, and decided to choose small yellow croaker and big-headed fish.

The small yellow croaker is said to be small, in fact, it is not small, but the fish in the juvenile stage, the surface is all yellow, the more grown, the smaller the proportion of yellow on the body, the lighter the color, the small yellow croaker in adulthood, you need to get closer and look carefully, in order to see the fish belly, there is a faint yellow. The flesh of this small yellow croaker is exceptionally tender, and the soup made with it before, although it is very fishy, but also has an attractive umami taste.

As the name suggests, the head of the fish is large, accounting for one-third of the whole fish, Xia Jingyu thought that the fish head can be used to make the modern famous chopped pepper fish head, the fish meat is less thorny, just pull out the spines on the outer two sides one by one, and the rest is the whole piece of meat. Su Cheng saw that Xia Jingyu had made up his mind about the fish head, and hesitated for a moment:

"You say, will anyone eat fish heads? It's just a pile of empty bones. ”

Xia Jingyu didn't think there was anything: "There is still the brain marrow of the fish in it, this is boiled into the soup, but it is fragrant, and it may not be boiled in the soup, and some people like to eat this." ”

Probably first settled in this way, now the problem is how to make these fish live longer, from the small fishing village to the small town takes half a day, and then from the town to the stone city, it takes about two days, in addition to these, the fish is caught from the fisherman, it takes a day to put it in the hands of the fisherman, and when the fish arrives at the hotel, there may not be guests willing to eat immediately, so it takes at least two or three days.

In this way, it is best for a fish to survive for more than ten days, in order to ensure that this chain is officially stored and can bring her economic benefits, after settling this, Xia Jingyu discussed with Su Cheng, such fish, in the early days, at least to ensure that two batches can be transported to the hotel every month, and each batch should have more than ten pieces of each.

They gave this idea to Duan Jinxiu, Duan Jinxiu was a little embarrassed and didn't speak immediately, Xu Shishi, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "If the fish is separated from the sea, it can live for two days." ”

Duan Jinxiu was surprised by her husband's sudden interjection, and then thought that since he had said this, she might as well tell the truth: "This is also the truth, we fish every day, the fish is first put here for a day, and then dragged to the street by Wang Da to change things, if the fish of the day cannot be sold, after coming back, they are generally dead." As for the girl said that each type of fish should be more than a dozen at a time, this is easy to do, although our family is not sure that there is such a coincidence, but there are many fishers here, run to a few and ask more, you can get it. ”

can only survive for a day or two, Xia Jingyu was stunned for a moment, she originally thought that the most difficult problem was transportation, but she didn't expect that the problem turned out to be here, she had a special aerator or something in modern times, so that the fish could still be alive after a long journey, and now it is obviously impossible for her to invent an aerator to come out.

She squatted decadently next to the big tank, looked at the small yellow croaker and the big head fish in the tank, and suddenly asked:

"How did you separate these two types of fish?" Obviously, there are still a lot of empty water tanks, so why should they be separated.

Duan Jinxiu glanced at it and replied with a smile: "This big-headed fish is a fish eater, it usually eats small fish, but if you want to put it together with the small yellow croaker, it will go up and bite so many bites, although it can't please it, but it will hurt both sides, so if we encounter these two kinds of fish when fishing, we will separate them and release them." ”

Xia Jingyu's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that this big-headed fish usually eats small fish?" ”

"What?" Duan Jinxiu asked puzzled.

Xia Jingyu didn't bother to answer his question: "You go and bring some small fish back, the more the better!" (To be continued.) )
