Chapter 212: Satisfying Gravings
Li Han didn't know how much the big octopus should sell for, but it was rare and expensive, since there were so many people eager to try, then he could raise the price a little higher, but he didn't know how to make the right price, so he just let them ask for their own price.
But before you can do that, you have to apply for the Guinness Book of Records. Originally, according to the official procedure, it was necessary to fill in a written application first, but because the application was for a personal octopus to kill the size of the octopus, and the big summer was afraid that it would break, the other party was still very flexible and Guò came to measure it directly, and by the way, he brought a form to Li Han for him to fill out on the spot.
There have been several records of killing large octopuses in history, but the largest recorded large octopus is only a few meters, unlike this one, the longest is 22.3 meters just for the tentacles. The Guinness agent was very responsible, and followed Louis to take detailed measurements there, and a few people who wanted to buy large octopuses were also joining in the fun. Li Han said that the octopus is sold, but it will have to wait for the Guinness agent to get it done.
After the media filmed around the octopus, they came directly to interview Li Han. Li Han naturally said it again according to what he had said before fooling everyone, and said that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he fished, and the result was abnormal, so after entering the water, this big octopus appeared and grabbed fish with him, so he killed him...... This octopus had just swallowed a big fish before he killed it, and even if it was dissected, the result was the same as he said.
The ship was measuring and heading back, and it was only a matter of a few hours back to port. However, in the summer, Li Han is afraid that the octopus will not be sold at a price if it is broken, and it will be a lot of tens of thousands of pounds. So he called Anthony to get some ice, and came over to deal with the media, the wrongdoers who wanted to buy the octopus, and the Guinness agent.
Anthony came quickly, in fact, he had already rented a single yacht when he received Li Han's call, and he was on the way over. He rushed over after seeing the video on the face wave ok and recognizing Li Han's boat, and he also bought the ice cubes and was on his way to transport them.
Li Han said he was very satisfied. These two assistants are good, one is diligent and capable, and the other is flexible. Li Han is ready to give them a salary increase at the end of the year and a big red envelope for each person.
An assistant came to help. Li Han doesn't have to worry about these trivial matters, just waiting to receive the certificate of Guinness Records. So I remembered that they hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so I went to cook noodles. There was nothing to eat for breakfast on the boat, and cooking noodles was the easiest hassle. The only regret is. Because Anthony came over on his own in advance. There's no way to bring him an octopus. For the time being, I still don't have to satisfy my cravings, and I can't eat until the ship docks.
To his surprise, Anthony came over with breakfast. The English breakfast I bought with the number of people was already cold when I came over, and it didn't taste bad if I put it in the microwave to heat it up. Besides, it is rare for people to have this mind, such a careful assistant can also do some work that can only be done by manager-level people, so naturally it can't make people feel cold.
Originally, I said that I would go back to Hong Kong, but since I had an assistant to do it, I naturally didn't need to go back, and it just so happened that the huge octopus stimulated the three, and they all shouted to catch big fish and set a Guinness record. So after sending off the cargo ship, the media and others, the yacht continued to cruise in the North Sea, fishing for fish with the sea breeze, drinking wine and eating delicious food.
Li Han still misses the octopus, he deliberately took the shrimp as bait, and wanted to catch an octopus, no matter how bad it is, it is good to have a squid, which can always satisfy his hunger.
It's just that he only knows that shrimp can be used as bait, but he doesn't know that live shrimp are generally used, not frozen shrimp like him. And in addition to octopus and squid, fishing can also use live shrimp as bait, as the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp. Therefore, Li Han was busy for a long time, and all he caught was a few fish more than two feet long. A fish of this size is already considered a small fish for marine fish.
Lydia is also fishing with shrimp, Li Han is very lucky, Lydia's little red hand caught an octopus, although it is not as big as the one killed by Li Han, but the diameter is almost one meter, and it is still okay to eat an octopus three times.
Fu Yuanjin's hands are also quite red, although the fish he caught yesterday was snatched away by the giant octopus, but today he caught a big salmon, but the others did not have any gains, but they were small fish one or two feet long, all of which were frozen and ready to be eaten later.
Today's breakfast was late, and lunch was late, and it was just after one o'clock at noon that Li Han took the octopus into the kitchen. He had never dealt with an octopus either, so he simply threw away the octopus's internal organs and brains, cut off its mouth, removed the bones, and washed it.
Zhuhou sauce is delicious in color, moderately sweet, and has a fragrant soy flavor, and it can fully bring out the aroma of meat when stewed with it, and it is a very useful condiment. In Cantonese cuisine, Zhuhou sauce is used to stew meat, but Li Han has eaten Zhuhou sauce fried seafood once, and he has never forgotten it, just yesterday he thought about making Cantonese food, so he asked Louis to prepare Zhuhou sauce, and today he just tried Zhuhou sauce fried octopus.
Then there is the sizzling octopus whiskers, which are more chewy and flavorful than the squid whiskers, and even the side dishes of onions and carrot slices are fresh, fragrant and spicy, and they taste great.
Make another octopus ball, the octopus balls were supposed to be made from small octopus boys, but at this time they can only take octopus meat cut into small pieces. There was no special pot for making octopus, so Li Han simply took the iron mold for baking the cake instead. Stir the fabric, eggs and water, bake the bottom of the mold with oil, pour the batter into it, and then put a piece of octopus meat in each mold.
The most skillful place to make octopus balls is to turn the balls, it is not an easy job to turn the balls over and over in the small mold and bake each side to golden brown, but fortunately, Li Han has a good control of strength and skill, and soon baked three pots of a total of 18, two per person as a snack after meals.
Nine people such a three-course meal is definitely not enough, and the salmon is made into a tender fried salmon piece, accompanied by a modified version of the paella, and the meal system is adopted, which can be regarded as a hearty meal.
In addition to octopus, there are shrimp, fish and shellfish in the paella, the shrimp was enough for a plate, but they used it to fish and spoil half of it.
As soon as Lydia ate it, she realized that something was wrong, glanced at the white wine that accompanied her meal, and asked, "Isn't there any red wine on board?" It's the same with white wine. ”
Li Han shook his head: "Also, but I don't like to put it, this is an improved version, you see I didn't put green, red pepper and saffron either." (To be continued......)
