Do you think these seafood will work? ”

The fish basket and fish were placed on the ground, a group of black and thin fishermen looked at Chen Xu nervously, and the older fishermen rubbed their hands and asked worriedly.

"Saury...... Yellow croaker...... Grouper...... Pomfret...... Hairtail ......"

Chen Xu squatted in front of a pile of fish and looked through it with his hands, and found that they were all common fish on the southeast coast, and there was no difference between them and those caught by fishermen in later generations, these fish were not uncommon in Wuzhong and Langya, Chen Xu stayed near Jiaozhou Bay in Langya for more than two months, and saw a lot of messy fish and ate a lot.

The fish in the fish basket are smaller, in addition to a few oysters and sea cucumbers, there are some transparent sea shrimp, but these add up to only three or five catties, and it is estimated that the whole family is only enough to taste a taste.

After reading it, Chen Xu was slightly disappointed.

A group of wives and concubines have long been seduced by the delicious seafood he preached saliva from Xianyang here, and now I see these common seafood, I am afraid that I will be disappointed, and Chen Xu is not going to eat these common fish and shrimp, but to eat squid and scallops, which people do not like to eat at the moment, and this time when starting from Xianyang, all kinds of ingredients and kitchenware have already been prepared, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, green onions, ginger, garlic peppers, spiced seasonings, vermicelli onions, firewood and charcoal, and now everything is ready just waiting for the pot, but there is no seafood you want.

"Master Hou, these fish are not bad, quite big, why are you not satisfied?" Cao Shen and the others looked at Chen Xu's tangled expressions, and they also collapsed slightly.

"The fish is good, but Ben Hou didn't plan to eat the fish this time!" Chen Xu let out a long sigh and stood up.

"Master Hou, what do you eat if you don't eat fish on the beach?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"The sea is so big, don't you have anything to eat except fish, scallops, clams, razor clams, sea crabs, prawns, squid ......?"

"Daddy, there's kelp, Xi'er wants to eat kelp!"

The child fainted quickly, and after getting off the boat at this time, Meng Wan and the others were still sitting in the shade on the edge of the beach to rest, Chen Xi had recovered and began to run barefoot all over the beach, and at this time squeezed to Chen Xu's side and began to shout to eat kelp.

"Why does my aunt keep eating kelp?" Cao Shen asked curiously.

"Daddy said that eating kelp won't get big neck disease, and Xi'er doesn't want to grow into a thick neck, so she wants to eat kelp!" Chen Xi said loudly.

"Eh, Master Hou, is this true?" Cao Shen asked with a confused face.

"Nature is true, kelp contains a substance called iodine, eating can prevent a big neck disease, this disease can also be inherited offspring, if the lack of iodine is serious, the child will become stupid, iodine not only exists in the kelp, in fact, almost all seafood contains iodine, so coastal residents rarely have thick neck disease, and many places in the inland can be seen, a few days ago in Dongting Lake encountered a few ......"

"Hey, what Hou Ye said seems to be true, I have also encountered some patients with thick necks in Handan before, with sore throats, it is difficult to talk and work, although the fishermen on the beach are all black and thin, but I have never seen a big neck!"

"What Master Hou said is naturally right, there is a father and son in our village who are both big necks, and they are not even in the northwest inland, just in Su County, Surabaya......"

"I also encountered that on the way to Tai'an, a group of people on the construction site were all suffering from thick necks, and it was extremely difficult to eat and drink......"

A group of onlookers began to discuss this topic, and a dark and thin young fisherman said loudly: "There is kelp under the reef over there, and it often gets entangled in fishing nets...... Gotta give money ......"

"Okay, you go and help me get some kelp, you can also get some other seaweed and seaweed, I'll see which ones can be eaten, we all want these fish, how much do you think is appropriate?" Chen Xu nodded and asked.

The old fishermen counted it, and after muttering a few words with a group of people, they offered a price of fifty yuan, and Chen Xu directly gave them a hundred yuan and said: "These seafood are too little, you go to find more fishermen nearby to go to the sea to fish, don't want big fish, just oysters, abalone, scallops, big crabs, squid ......."

"What is a squid?" Several fishermen looked at each other.

"A squid is an octopus...... Well, it's pretty much like that, except for the legs at the beginning, and the cuttlefish cubs, have you ever seen a cuttlefish, the kind that spits black ink......"

"I've seen it, diving sometimes happens!" Several fishermen quickly nodded.

"Well, I don't like to eat these common fish and shrimp, I want to eat all kinds of strange seafood, shrimp, crab, shell, octopus, you go and fish, two dollars per catty, I want as much as I want, go!"

"Huh~~" A few black and thin young fishermen turned around excitedly and ran away, the fish baskets were gone, the old fishermen were also very excited, and after taking the two purple Taiji Tongbao handed by Chen Xu, they hurriedly put the fish and shrimp in a few fish baskets in two, and then hurriedly ran to the fishing boat with a few empty fish baskets.

"Come on, take these fish and shrimp and wash them......"

As soon as Chen Xu waved his hand, several cooks and kitchen workers from the Hou Mansion came over to clean and dispose of the fish and shrimp.

At this time, the beach was already lively and busy, boatmen and sailors all came and went to build a stove, collect dry firewood, wash rice, and cook, one after another there were flames and thick smoke rising, laughter, scolding, and noisy noises mixed together, into your wife and into your lady these cordial greetings one after another, the whole beach is happy.

"Engong, the big snake has been peeled and washed, and the pepper ingredients are all ready, see if you can start!"

On the grass by a stream, a simple wooden table has been arranged, and a few simple stoves for stir-frying and cooking have been built with stone and sand, under the command of Yu Wuya, the kitchen and servants of the Hou Mansion have placed a cleaned large snake on the wooden table, and the tender snake meat looks snow-white and crystal full of temptation.

After Chen Xu crossed over, he found that although the rural people were poor, they didn't eat the last meal, but they didn't eat snake meat, and a big python was carried to Qinghe Town for half a day and was not sold, and finally Jiangbei Pavilion took a fancy to the python skin and spent 800 yuan to buy the whole snake.

There are many reasons not to eat snake meat, the two main ones are, the first is disgusting and afraid, because snakes have been mixed with poisonous insects since ancient times, and no one dares to eat them, and the second is that there is no good cooking method, no oil and no seasoning, and boiled snakes in white water will feel unappetizing when they think about it.

However, since Chen Xu caught a big snake in the tea tree field and made a meal of snake meat, the snake has become a rare delicacy, which is more interesting to Yu Wuya than chicken, duck and fish, but although the snake meat is delicious, it is based on careful cooking, and it will definitely not work without seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, peppercorns, etc., since he went to Yingzhou, Yu Wuya has not eaten snake meat for several years, and he just happened to meet it today, and he will definitely not let go of this delicacy.

I don't know what kind of snake this snake is, it is more than a foot long, and it is estimated that it weighs seven or eight pounds at this time, and it is definitely a big snake.

"Here, help me put on my smock!"

Chen Xu washed his hands by the stream, and the two servants hurriedly stepped forward to help put on their smocks and hats, and in an instant, Daqin Zuoxiang turned into a cook, ready to make a delicious snake soup at the level of the chef who sacrificed the takeaway brother.

"Go quickly, Hou Ye will cook the dishes himself!" When the news spread, the entire bay became agitated in an instant, and countless people gave up their work and rushed to watch.

It is said that the Marquis of Qinghe has the reputation of eating in Daqin, and the title of the master of food, and the reputation of the world's food out of Qinghe, in the minds of the people of the world, the Marquis of Qinghe is not only a Hou Ye, he is also a disciple of the immortal family, representing omnipotence.

And there are only a handful of people in the world who are fortunate enough to be able to witness Qinghehou cooking, and there are even fewer people who can eat the food he makes by himself, and for chefs in the world, the opportunity to witness Qinghehou show his cooking skills on the spot is an epic difficulty.

But today, this epic upgrade opportunity is in front of you.

Even if you only learn half a claw, your status in the food industry will rise from now on.

"It's been almost four years, and I can finally eat the delicious food made by Hou Ye again!" Although Cao Shen had never eaten a snake, he was already hungry and began to drool at this time.

"I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to taste it!"

"I'm afraid it won't work, Master Hou has too many dependents, where can there be enough for such long worms and fish and shrimp?"

"If you can't eat it, you can taste a mouthful of soup!"

A group of captains and stewards gathered around the innermost and drooled and whispered discussions.

"Chop chop~"

Chen Xu picked up a sharp kitchen knife, chopped a large hop into small pieces more than an inch long, then cut the cleaned ginger and garlic, checked the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and Sichuan pepper star anise and other ingredients one by one, and after feeling that everything was ready, he ordered the fire to prepare for stir-frying.

Snake meat is not uncommon for southerners, and Guangdong in later generations was a large province that ate snakes, from the Han Dynasty to New China.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in China in later generations: snakes are not terrible, but Guangdong talents are terrible.

As one of the most common ingredients in the south, snake meat is also eaten in a variety of ways, frying, cooking, frying, stewing, boiling, boiling, boiling, but Chen Xu's method is relatively simple, that is, home-style braised meat.

Put the big iron pot on the rack, soon the flame of the stove rises, wait until the iron pot is heated and put enough sesame oil, wait for the oil temperature to reach the temperature and then add ginger, garlic and pepper sauce and fry until fragrant, and then fry the snake meat in the pot for three or five minutes, wait for the meat to roll up and have a sauce color, add a scoop of water to submerge the snake meat, put in star anise, essence and salt and other seasonings, cover the pot and start smoldering.

"This home-cooked braised snake meat is easy to make, everyone can follow it next time after seeing it clearly, in fact, not only snake meat, but also other beef, mutton and dogs can be cooked like this......

As he did this, Chen Xu told the chefs and cooks of the fleet standing next to him.

Because it is an open-air stir-fry, the taste is very fast, almost when the ginger and garlic are put into the pot, there is a strong fragrance emitted, and when the snake meat is stir-fried, the rich fragrance has made countless boatmen and seafarers who can only eat dry food on weekdays all salivate, and they feel that their souls are restless and can't help jumping out of the shell to jump out of the pot of Chen Xu's stir-fry and scramble.
