1277.Sweet Shrimp Paste (7/7, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

After packing up his daughter, Qin Shiou sat on the sofa and shook his head, it was really difficult to raise a child, it was really hard for Winnie.

Qin's mother made breakfast and asked him to go over to eat, and after Qin Shiou saw the pot of yellow-orange-orange porridge and fried sausages, his stomach and throat, which had not been calm for a long time, rebelled again, and he almost didn't vomit directly on the table.

When he took the fishermen out to sea in the morning, Shaq asked with a hippie smile: "Boss, how was breakfast?" Changing my daughter's diaper early in the morning must be very appetizing, right? ”

"Falk Squid!" Qin Shiou raised his middle finger, "Damn, how do you know?" Did Shirley tweet the damn again? ”

The cigarette gun shook his head, and Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if it's not Twitter, it's a dead girl with a conscience." ”

"No, Captain, I shook my head: not only did she tweet, but she also posted Facebook, and MSN, anyway," he continued, "and everything you can know, she posted it!" ”

"Fack!" Qin Shiou couldn't help but scold.

The bull comforted him: "It's okay, captain, it's nothing to be disgusting when I change the child's diaper, and it's normal for me to change my son every time." ”

Looking at the constipated expression on the bull's Facebook, Qin Shiou felt a little better, especially when he thought that the bull's son could eat so much, he was definitely very good, and his mood was better.

He felt that he had a common topic with the bull, and that the other fishermen were bastards, so he asked, "Man, what brand of diapers does your son use, and how is it?" ”

The bull said, "It's Mommy Baby's, but it may not be for you, because there are two kids on that diaper, haha." ”

"Falk Squid!" Qin Shiou gave the bull a thumbs up.

After the heavy rain stopped, the Daqin Fishery had to send fish fry out, and some people sent him fish fry. This time, a fishing ground in the Bay of St. Lawrence sent a batch of oysters, and Qin Shiou went to receive them, and the fisherman gave him an extra bucket of small shrimp.

Qin Shiou looked at it, it was a very fresh half-cooked shrimp, very small, but of good quality. The shrimp skin is shiny, the shrimp body is plump, and the flesh is obviously plump.

"This is Arctic shrimp? Looks good, my fishing ground has it too. Qin Shiou said with a smile.

The fisherman hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, this is American cold-water shrimp, it is American sweet shrimp, it tastes very good, I suggest you try it." My fishery keeps this shrimp if you are interested. We can continue to work together. ”

Cold-water shrimp can be eaten raw, these shrimp are already half-cooked, and they can be eaten directly.

It's hard to be enthusiastic, Qin Shiou took one and ate it, the shrimp skin is relatively soft, the shrimp meat is a lot, and it also contains plump shrimp, and the taste is a little sweet. Not bad indeed.

But farming this shrimp is the same as farming arctic shrimp. It's more about making bottom food for the fishery rather than catching it and selling it.

Of course, there are many places in North America where this shrimp is abundant, such as the waters of Washington, Oregon and Northern California on the west coast of the United States, which can catch tens of thousands of tons from April to October each year, which is also a fortune.

Qin Shiou was not interested. His fishery has Arctic shrimp, and American sweet shrimp is actually the North Atlantic version of Arctic shrimp, except that they live in the waters of the North Pacific.

Like the Arctic shrimp, this shrimp is not large, and an adult shrimp is only three or four grams. A pound can buy hundreds, the economic value is relatively small, and most of the fish and sales are used for cat and dog food or feed for farms and fisheries.

Moreover, the growth of cold-water shrimp is particularly slow, and it takes four years to reach the fishing specification

Interestingly, though, this shrimp has a strange growth cycle, starting with males, then evolving into females, and finally laying eggs to hatch.

Qin Shiou thanked the fisherman for his kindness, but in the end he still didn't order the shrimp seedlings of the cold-water shrimp, it is better to buy Arctic shrimp with that money, this thing is cheaper, and there are a lot of them on Bill's side.

After the fisherman left, the bucket of sweet shrimp remained.

The sweet shrimp is too small, there is no good way to eat, fried and boiled are not suitable, it is too wasteful to pour it out, and this is a kind intention of others, it is not good to pour it out directly.

Qin Shiou asked the fishermen if they wanted it, saying that this was the welfare of the fishing ground, but a group of fishermen were very cunning, saying that if they wanted to eat shrimp, they would catch lobsters, who would eat this kind of small shrimp?

Smoking Gun saw that he was distressed and said: "Or you can make shrimp paste, when I used to work in a fishing farm, he specialized in catching sweet shrimp to make shrimp paste, and then sold it to Chinese, I remember you Chinese like to eat shrimp paste, don't you?" ”

Listening to the words of the smoking gun, Qin Shiou nodded, feeling that this was a good way.

Qin Shiou didn't eat this thing less when he was in his hometown, for his family when he was a child, there were only two kinds of seafood, one was kelp, and the other was shrimp paste......

Shrimp paste is a fermented food for storage, during which the protein will be broken down into amino acids, with a unique fresh fragrance, which can be eaten directly as a vegetable or as a seasoning.

In addition, the nutritional value of this thing is also quite high, the calcium contained in the shrimp will be decomposed into calcium that is easy for the body to absorb, and the fat is converted into fatty acids, so the shrimp paste can supplement the body with protein, calcium and fatty acids at the same time.

Just do it when you think about it, and there is nothing to do after coming back from going to sea, so Qin Shiou returned to the villa with a bucket of sweet shrimp, and found a clean jar that was vacated after making salted duck eggs and started to make it.

This is not difficult to do, he washes the sweet shrimp and puts them in an iron basin, and then sprinkles salt into them.

Sweet shrimp is rich in protein and fat, which is easy to breed bacteria and spoil, so you have to add a lot of salt, which is about one-fifth of the weight of shrimp.

Mixed well, Qin Shiou called the equally boring Ivoson over and asked him to mash the sweet shrimp with a mallet.

After it was completely sticky, Qin Shiou added a large amount of fried peanuts, fennel, peppercorns, cinnamon, soy sauce and sesame oil to it, and let Ivoson continue to pound it.

After thoroughly mashing it into a very slimy sauce, this is about the same, Qin Shiou put the shrimp paste into the jar, sealed it with plastic wrap, put it outside the house, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you can eat it after a while." ”

Iverson wiped his mouth and said, "It's not delicious, it's so salty!" ”

Qin Shiou laughed, no matter what this guy does, he will taste it in advance, and it is very difficult to say 'not delicious' from his mouth.

In the past, Qin Shiou thought that for Iverson, there were only two kinds of things that could be eaten and those that could not be eaten, and it turned out that he also had things he didn't like to eat.

However, Qin Shiou was not convinced by this, he said: "This is not eaten directly, it is used to make dishes, wait for Ivoson, I will use it to fry meat steak, the taste is very good." ”

Listening to his words, Ivoson looked at the jar expectantly and said, "Can you eat it tonight?" ”

"Nope." Qin Shiou smiled, "This needs to be fermented." ”

"Can you eat it tomorrow?"

"No, it will take more than ten days."

Ivoson sighed in disappointment and asked, "So what are you going to eat tonight?" (To be continued......)
