431. The door is open

Without the passage of cold snaps, the sea breeze in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is not too strong.

The bay is not like an ocean, it is ventilated on all sides, it is like a bowl of water, and the external air flow will be blocked by the bowl wall.

However, if you hit a cold snap, it's troublesome.

Because the Gulf of St. Lawrence has a warm air stream blowing from the waters of Newfoundland all year round, once this air current meets the cold current, it forms a strong cyclone. Cyclones crash around in the bowl but can't find an outlet, and it's easy to form a storm.

When a storm is formed, it will move along the pressure difference, eventually from the sea to the land, and then disappear.

That's why there was such a terrible storm in the Bay of St. Lawrence last night, and just one day later, the storm disappeared without a trace.

Qin Shiou stood on the bow of the boat, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, feeling that in addition to being a little lonely, it was not bad to spend the night in the bay.

Most often, the wind in the bay is light, and the fishing boats are not very bumpy when floating on the sea. In addition, the night breeze in the bay is relatively humid and warm, even in winter, Qin Shiou does not feel very hurtful.

Shaq was at the helm, and everyone else was sorting the fish they caught in the ice cabin.

After a while, the bull ran over, handed a moray eel in his hand to Qin Shiou, and said, "This is one of the favorite foods of the big frigate bird, and we think Nimitz will like it." ”

Qin Shiou patted the bull on the shoulder and said ★ ↓ Thank you, this kind of rough man is best to deal with, as long as you convince him, he will be dead to you.

Qin Shiou put down the half-meter-long moray eel, took out his saber and brushed it twice, and directly divided the moray eel into four sections.

A whistle summons Nimitz, who is flying over the fishing boat. Qin Shiou threw the fish out like feeding a dog, and Nimitz grabbed them one by one. Landed on the side of the boat and ate the eel.

"What a good bird!" The bull complimented Nimitz when he looked so obedient.

Qin Shiou gently stroked Nimitz, although this guy has always been strict and rarely sticks to his home. But it is the most powerful, it appears immediately when it is needed, and never drops the chain.

The fishermen sorted the sea fish until half past twelve in the middle of the night, and some large lobsters in the fishing nets were caught in troubled waters, and Qin Shiou took them to the restaurant to help them make zuò supper.

Because the price of lobster has soared since the beginning of winter, even if it is offshore, it has risen from more than 10 yuan a pound to 100 yuan, so even if they are fishermen, they don't eat much of this thing.

Such. Qin Shiou deliberately made lobster.

A total of seventy or eighty lobsters were caught in the net, and half of them were all large lobsters, and the crayfish, which were not large enough, were ready to be thrown back into the sea.

Seeing this, Shaq shook his head and said, "No need, the bacteria have polluted the bay, and these lobsters are not expected to live long in the end, so leave the stew." ”

North America has strict requirements for the size of lobster catch, and the United States is to check the size. After each lobster lands, the length must be measured, and the length is not enough. Canada is weighing, the weighing operation is simpler and faster, and less than half a pound cannot be captured.

But. Canadian fishermen are not always so plain and law-abiding, for example, sometimes when they catch crayfish, they will bring them back. It's a big deal not to sell it, make your own soup or send it to your neighbors.

Qin Shiou likes to eat seafood. I've usually studied the practice of this thing, but this time he used two ways to make lobsters.

The first is the traditional Atlantic lobster cooking method. The lobster is cleaned and simply cooked in salted water, then a plate of cream sauce is prepared and eaten with shrimp meat.

The shrimp meat tastes the same, Qin Shiou made some articles in the cream sauce, adding lemon, garlic, soy sauce, blackberry sauce and the like to the cream.

This is how Canadians eat lobster, believing that good ingredients only need to be cooked concisely and taste the original flavor of the ingredients.

Another cooking method is also very simple, Qin Shiou eats it like this when he spends Christmas at Winnie's house: the lobster is slightly steamed, and then cut it in half lengthwise with a quick knife and baked in the oven.

The most important thing in grilling lobster is the seasoning, after cutting the shell, you have to add your favorite seasoning to it, the smoking gun asks for seasoning cream, the bull asks for Korean hot sauce, Shaq asks for tomato juice, and everyone else has made their own requests.

In addition to the sauce, Qin Shiou also put ingredients such as pistachios, crushed walnuts and breadcrumbs prepared in advance.

Because grilling lobster is more time-consuming, Qin Shiou did this first, and after the fishermen gathered in the restaurant after finishing their work, he began to cook lobster. This is very fast, don't do it in advance in the big winter, make it best while eating, it's hot.

Seeing Qin Shiou put the lobsters directly into the salt water, the bull came up to stop them, turned all the lobsters upside down and put them on their backs, and said with a smile: "So that the lobsters will fall asleep quickly, and if they fall asleep, they will naturally not be in pain." ”

Smoking Gun and the others nodded their heads, they all liked to do this, and indeed, once the lobster was put down with its back down, it would soon fall asleep.

Qin Shiou was not interested in this approach, and said, "Please, guys, Maine lobsters don't feel pain." They don't have brains, just a few scattered nerve centers that don't feel pain at all, otherwise how could they be so aggressive? ”

"Captain, we have a slang saying in Newfoundland that 'dead souls in sleep are closer to heaven,' and that's why we cook sleeping lobsters," he said. ”

Qin Shiou laughed, gave him a thumbs up, praised 'good people on dog days', and then cooked shrimp according to their requirements.

Smoking guns and others laughed and sat at the dining table to dismantle the lobster and eat, with a heroic posture, not like any white-collar gold collar who eats with a knife and fork, that is, after dismantling it, tearing the shrimp meat dipping sauce with bread and eating, the sound of the mouth is louder than one.

Eating and drinking enough is sleeping, and the fishermen save time and immediately go into their rooms.

Qin Shiou knew the next day why it was very tiring to go out to sea to fish and catch shrimp, the cold winter, the sky was still bright, but it was only half past five, and the fishermen got up to get ready for work.

At this time, it was only four and a half hours before they fell asleep.

Sail the boat to the place where the warning buoy is erected, and the fishermen begin to work in anticipation.

The cigarette gun uses a hook to scoop up a ball buoy, attaches the end of the rope to an electric pulley, and starts the motor connected to the pulley, and the rope is pulled up.

Someone was in charge of the rope, and the bull and another strong fisherman stood on either side of the stern opening, and as the rope was pulled up more than 140 meters, the shrimp cage showed its horns.

All the fishermen watched with bated breath at the pair of cages that were joined together, and this was the bulk of their harvest.

As soon as the shrimp trap was pulled up, the two bulls immediately grabbed one by one, quickly untied the rope and pushed it out.

Under the bright lights, there are four fat lobsters waiting in the shrimp cage, each of which is about 20 centimeters long, at least one kilogram, an absolute lobster!

"Whew!" Seeing this scene, a group of fishermen suddenly screamed, no accident, the harvest of this batch of shrimp fishing pots will be very good, not ordinary good, but super good! (To be continued......)
