1109. Big Qin lobster

After the lyrics, Butler really sat on the dock, Qin Shiou shrugged, and had to sit beside him.

It's already May, and the spring weather is very good, the sun is shining, the sun is mild, and the crystal waves are blown by the sea breeze, and wave after wave beats up, making a soft sound of 'whoosh, blah, blah'.

Butler turned his head and smiled, "Have you ever sat on a cliff looking out over the Atlantic?" It's the kind of primitive cliff with a lush pine forest behind it, rough granite underneath the buttocks, but green weeds at hand, have you ever had such an experience? ”

Qin Shiou shook his head, the mountain he climbed in Canada was the Cambar Mountain beside him, every time he went up the mountain, he was purely mountaineering, because he was too close to the ocean, so close that he sometimes ignored the sea.

"That must be a great feeling."

"Of course, you have to try it." Butler laughed, "Think, man, sitting on the edge of a coniferous cliff and looking at the Atlantic Ocean full of lobsters, your heart will be very calm, as if time has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and time is useless to you, and you have become a reef on the coast." ”

Qin Shiou looked at the bearded black uncle with a surprised expression, this guy is really literary and artistic, he really has a style.

Butler laughed at his surprise, but the smile on his face was innocent, "Have you watched Forrest Gump?" When Forrest Gump was in Vietnam, he had a comrade-in-arms named Babu, and his family had been fishing shrimp for generations, do you have any impressions? ”

Qin Shiou said: "Of course, it is a very classic movie, a good interpretation. The scene where Babu finally says in Forrest Gump's arms that he wants to go home to find his mother, I think I will remember it for the rest of my life. ”

Butler said: "When we first met. Let me tell you, my family has also been involved in seafood for generations. Haha, in fact I lied to you a little, our family is not dealing in seafood, but shrimp fishing, just like the Babu family, there is a shrimp fishing boat, and we shuttle the sea every day. ”

"Then everything now is earned by your own hands? That's remarkable. Qin Shiou exclaimed.

Butler had a lot of energy in Florida, where the Murray family's business was not as big as he did. The conflict between the two sides was in New York, when the bearded man was ambitious to enter the New York market, but was ambushed by the Murray family and tragically suffered Waterloo.

If such a situation was brought down by Butler himself, then he was enough to make Qin Shiou admire.

Butler didn't say that, but said, "My hometown is in a small town in Florida, and that little town is located on a hill near the sea. In my childhood and teenage years, I used to sit on a cliff in the mountains and watch my parents drive a fishing boat to catch shrimp. Just like it is now. ”

"Then I'm in your hometown, man, won't you show me around?" Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Butler made a gesture of invitation and said to the sea, "Come on, jump down." I'll take you on a good tour of my hometown, haha. ”

As he spoke, the bearded black man burst out laughing.

The two sat on a pier made of hard pine wood. A slightly salty sea breeze mixed with a hint of pine wafted around, but it didn't smell very good at first. But when Qin Shiou got used to it, he felt that this was the taste of the fishing ground.

For bearded blacks. Maybe it's the taste of home.

The waves crash against the pier, and occasionally the tide recedes, revealing some gooseneck barnacles. These hard-shelled creatures clinged to the docks like stones, and the gray shells were craggy and gathered together in all sorts of strange shapes.

In this way, the waves behind it beat again, and the gooseneck barnacle shell has many holes and gaps, and the sea water hits and makes different sounds, and if you listen carefully, it will be like a symphony.

Qin Shiou released the consciousness of the sea god to feel, this feeling is even stronger, in the eyes of others, the ocean is a moody tyrant, in the feeling of the heart of the sea god, this is the Venus with a broken arm, gentle and beautiful.

It doesn't take too long to catch lobsters in the fishing grounds, because fishermen usually have an important job, which is to explore the location of the resources in the fishing grounds, so that the fishing is targeted and the result is twice the result with half the effort.

As long as the habitat is not shifted in winter, lobsters are lazy in other seasons, and fishermen put their pots into large groups of lobster habitats that have been explored in advance, and it only takes four or five hours to catch the cages.

Every half hour, Shaq would take someone to pick up a few shrimp pots at random to see what was going on inside, and the second time he picked up the cages, there were lobsters.

Shaq brought a dozen large lobsters the length of a baby's arm to the dock, and Butler, who was a connoisseur, looked inside, and said in surprise: "Hey, there are still soft-shell lobsters at this time?" I have to admit, Qin, your fishing ground is amazing. ”

Lobsters have a complex molting process, shedding their old shells each year in order to grow new, larger, harder shells. But this process generally occurs in the summer, and this kind of lobster that has just changed its shell is called "soft shell lobster".

Compared with hard-shell lobsters of the same age, soft-shell lobsters are more susceptible to damage, so they are inconvenient to transport and are prone to injury and death on the road.

But at this time, the lobster meat is more plump and more convenient to eat, and there is even a way to eat it in Boston, which is to soak the soft-shell lobster in vinegar and eat it with the shell. Naturally, soft-shell lobsters are more expensive than hard-shell lobsters as long as they are alive.

More than a dozen large lobsters danced their teeth and claws together, and Butler grabbed one and tried the weight, probably knowing whether this lobster was fat or not.

Naturally, the fishery once again surprised him, the lobster was heavy in his hands, which was a very full sense of weight, proving that there was a lot of meat in the lobster shell.

After bringing the dozen lobsters ashore, Butler, who was full of smiles, said, "Come on, Qin, let you taste the shrimp made with the lobster method unique to my hometown, come with me." ”

Qin Shiou is a food lover, and as soon as Butler said this, he looked forward to it, and quickly packed up the kitchen and provided it to him, asking him what else he needed.

Butler grinned and said he wanted a pot of clean seawater.

Qin Shiou brought him a bucket, but Butler poured seawater into the pot, put the lobster in it, and boiled it like that.

Qin Shiou was dumbfounded at this moment, this is a unique method of fart, isn't it boiled lobster in seawater? He does too, and he eats lobster in a much more elaborate way than that.

Butler adjusted the heating time, clapped his hands and said, "Very well, the next thing we have to do is wait, wait for the delicious Karinatown style lobster, and you will have to refrain from swallowing your tongue into your stomach later." ”

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it, but I have to say, man, the lobster has to be steamed and eaten, okay?" How can you cook lobster? (To be continued......)
