Chapter 2005: Towards the New Millennium (21)

Brother Wang's name is Wang Xinjun, a native of Lianjin (JZ) Prefecture, who used to be a soldier, and now operates seafood farming and has the right to operate a beach.

"Let's go! Brother, go to my brother's house first, you southerners, you have never seen the sea, maybe, you and your brother-in-law will like my place! The ro-ro ship docked, Brother Wang was bold and could not shirk, holding Fang Bin's hand, "Let's go drive first, let the women go up first!" Fang Bin looked at Yu'er and saw that she didn't disagree, so he said happily: "Okay!" Everything is arranged by Brother Wang! ”

Brother Wang's Buick car was in front, Fang Bin's Honda car was behind, driving out of the ro-ro ship, crossing the beautiful and neat Gorky Road, the tall plane trees were swaying and leafy; Walking along the promenade again, the sea breeze poured into the open car window, and I opened my lips to lick it, feeling warm and slightly salty.

"Just go empty-handed?" Yu'er looked at the high-rise buildings flashing outside the car window and asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, of course you can't be empty-handed!" Fang Bin grinned: "But it's not appropriate to buy something now, just give the child a red envelope." Yu'er nodded. The car drove for more than half an hour to the beach, probably because it is not open to tourists, this large beach is lonely, the silver-white sand is covered with large and small cages, and several small boats shuttle back and forth in the box array.

"Brother! This is my contracting area. After driving forward again, the Buick car in front stopped, Wang Xinjun's family got out of the car, walked over to Fang Bin and Yu'er, pointed to the breezy beach, and said with a smile: "On this tidal flat, I have cultivated sea oysters, anemones, snails, scallops, etc., and there are sandworms and crabs in the sand under your feet. ”

"Really?" Yu'er was eager to try, ignoring the sea breeze messing up her hair, holding Fang Bin's arm, and said with a smile: "Let's go dig crabs, right?" ”

"Haha! Wang Xinjun laughed heartily: "I said it, right? You readers, you will love it! But. Wait until the tide goes down. He waved his hand to his wife and said, "You go and get the tools, and we will accompany Brother Fang and his sister-in-law to dig clams and crabs." The woman smiled meekly and turned to go home.

"Look! Look, the tide is ebbing! Yu'er took Fang Bin's hand, pointed to the surging tide, and shouted excitedly. The moist sand soil is exposed to the water, and the sun is boundless.

"Come on! Come, let's go to the sea! Wang Xinjun's wife came back with a bucket, a small shovel, a small iron lift, and other tools, and he took off his socks and shoes first. Down to the beach. Fang Bin and Yu'er also took off their shoes and socks in the same way. Walk on the soft sand.

"Ahh Yu'er grinned. The delicate grains of sand were embedded between the toes, making Yu'er, who had not beaten barefoot for a long time, feel soft and happy, and she took a small shovel with great interest and followed Wang Xinjun and his family. Squat on the beach, bend over your back, and dig forward step by step.

"The hole of the razor clams is round, the hole of the crab is flat, the crab digs a hole, and the razor only digs one line; The sandworm drills holes and digs hard without stopping. Wang Xinjun introduced the essentials and demonstrated at the same time. With a shovel down, razor clams half a finger long and a finger wide dug out one after another. muddy, thrown into a pail, clanging; After digging through the crab hole, the crabs with fangs and claws were grabbed out one by one and put them in the back basket; Sandworms are hard to dig. I saw that Wang's sister-in-law found an insect eye, raised a small shovel and quickly dug down, her action of digging insects is very skillful and very sharp, she did not relax in a breath, the shovel rhythm is very fast to track the wormhole where to dig fiercely, see the sandworm, quickly reach out and pinch hard, wait for the insect to struggle and lack of strength before slowly raising it, round and bulging, about ten centimeters long, a bit like the earthworm in the southern region, put in the iron bucket, still wriggling.

"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Yu'er is not very good at digging, picked up a few shellfish the size of copper coins on the beach, black and full of mud and sand, and asked Sister-in-law Wang next to her with great interest.

"That's a clam, it's delicious, you pick up more, I'll make you a steamed egg with a clam!" Sister-in-law Wang said with a smile.

"You can eat this, huh?" Yu'er felt very funny, but in Lian (lyg) Yungang because of taking sea baths and eating seafood from acute gastroenteritis, a little scared, said with a smile.

"This one is delicious!" Wang Xinjun straightened his waist and said with a smile: "The clam meat is delicious, nutritious, high in protein, and has a reasonable composition and ratio of amino acids; Low in fat, high in unsaturated fatty acids, easy to digest and absorb by the human body, as well as various vitamins and medicinal ingredients. Contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and other essential trace elements, absolute nutritious food, green food. ”

"Hehe, Brother Wang is worthy of being an expert in seafood farming, and he says it one by one." Fang Bin grinned.

"Hee-hee-" Wang Xinjun smiled shyly, rubbed the sand with one hand, and wiped the itch on the back of his head with his arm: "Brother, I really didn't blow it!" Then he pointed to the half-bucket sandworm in the iron bucket on the beach and said, "Let's say this little bug, right?" The scientific name is Ah checkered star worm, also known as bare naked star worm, commonly known as sand worm, its shape is very similar to a intestine, it is long and cylindrical, the body length is about 10~20 cm, and the body is naked and hairless, the longitudinal muscles of the body wall are bundled, and each ring muscle is staggered to form a square lattice pattern; Although the checkered star insect is not as valuable as sea cucumber, shark fin and abalone, it has a delicious and crisp taste, which is beyond the reach of sea cucumber and shark fin. It grows in the coastal mudflats, because it is very sensitive to the quality of the growing environment, and cannot survive once it is polluted, so it is called an environmental marker organism. And proudly said: "Now this beach, I can dig this piece, other places, because there are too many people digging, almost extinct long ago, at night, let your sister-in-law make a sandworm dried cow loach fish soup, our brother has a few drinks!" ”

"Okay! Just to taste my sister-in-law's craft. Fang Bin grinned, looking at it, this tidal flat, as far as the eye can see, where there is water, there are cages, obviously after a long period of experience summed up. After digging for almost two hours, the buckets and baskets were full, and everyone went home.

Brother Wang's home is a small three-story building, beautiful and chic. Yu'er followed behind Wang's sister-in-law, first washed and cut the dug sandworms, and then put them in cold water to soak; He rinsed the clams, soaked them in salt water, and dripped a few drops of sesame oil.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't start frying, what are you doing with sesame oil?" Yu'er is not good at making seafood, and asked with a smile.

"In order to make it spit out the sediment, this thing is delicious, but it is difficult to wash." Sister-in-law Wang explained with a smile, while waving her hand: "Steamed eggs with clams, you must first soak the clams in light salt water in advance to spit out the sediment, wash the shells with a brush, blanch the clams into the pot of boiling water until the shell opens, take out the drained water, and then use scissors to take the tip and shell part, and lose the rest, then knock the eggs open and add a little salt to break up, add water, put in the clam meat and stir well, and then steam it in the pot." It's delicious. ”

"Hee-hee, is that complicated? I'm afraid I won't be able to learn. Yu'er grinned.

"It's okay! You are a scholar and a great person, and you don't have to learn, unlike me. Sister-in-law Wang smiled tolerantly, and quickly removed the clam meat to impurities, washed, blanched, shredded onion, put a little vegetable oil in the pot, heat the oil, stir-fried ginger, dried chili, bean drum, chili, until the fragrance is pervasive, pour in razor clams, onion stir-fry, add cooking wine, salt, chicken essence, stir-fry until the clam shell opens, into the flavor, add a little soy sauce, and then you can get out of the pot, a plate of color and fragrance of chili fried clams is freshly baked, provoked the jade next to it salivate, and has long forgotten the previous thing of eating a bad stomach. A few plates of original and spicy seafood were served, Fang Bin and Yu'er had a great appetite, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, the fresh fragrance was full of cheeks, crispy, and very refreshing!

"Delicious! My sister-in-law's craftsmanship really lives up to its reputation! Fang Bin was sweating profusely, his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, he stretched out his thumb and said happily.

"Then you and Teacher Huang, just eat more!" Sister-in-law Wang is a virtuous woman, smiled slightly, and put half a bowl of vegetables in Yu'er's bowl, Yu'er ate with relish, and did not see the fear of eating seafood last time, maybe one is because she is in a good mood, after all, she dug it back by herself, and the other is that Sister-in-law Wang put a lot of chili peppers and removed the fishy smell of the sea.

"Come on! Brother, we are destined, drink a few more glasses! Wang Xinjun opened another bottle of beer and said excitedly.
