Chapter 509: Out to Sea
"Four sandwiches aren't too many?" Wang Jian felt that what Pan said was not very reliable.
“@@%……@¥@¥¥!”
Pan didn't talk much nonsense, shouted directly into the kitchen, and then turned back to explain to Wang Jian that she had asked her mother to make a sandwich for dinner, so that Wang Jian could see it with his own eyes.
This Ode looked like a hill dwarf, not tall but extremely stout, like a door panel. And like Elke, he is also a smoker, after tasting a cloud of smoke, he never leaves his hand, he and Elke in less than an hour before dinner, the small half box of cloud smoke directly dried up after Hong Tao's last half.
"It's called a sandwich!?" The first course of dinner was a sandwich specially made by Hannah for Wang Jian, which was served directly in front of Wang Jian on a large plate. This is not the same thing as the sandwich in China or other countries, the only thing in common is that they all bring bread, but this sandwich is a thin slice of bread on the bottom of the plate, and then there are all kinds of meat strips, meatloaf, salmon fillets and vegetables piled on top, which is more than a fist high, not 2 catties but 1 catty, if you let Wang Jian eat it, it is not impossible, but after eating it, don't want to eat other dishes.
"It's called a single sandwich, and it's eaten in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, but they put pork." Pan didn't intend to embarrass Wang Jian, but used a knife to divide the sandwich into several portions, one for each person.
Hong Tao felt that the Germans were eating very roughly, but he didn't expect the Norwegians to eat too much. Dinner consisted of only three main courses: reindeer meat, salmon and cod, but instead of being served on a plate, these three dishes were divided into three large stainless steel pots, which were placed on the stove and simmered over a slight fire.
Don't look good. All three dishes are superb. The reindeer meat is marinated in spices and then baked directly in the oven, and it is coated with a layer of cheese called Brunoste, which is fresh and sweet, and the meat oil and cream are added to the meat with a bite, not to mention how tender.
Salmon is not ordinary fresh salmon, but smoked, with a layer of crystal clear fish roe, no ingredients, it tastes very refreshing, slightly sweet.
The best dish is the tomato cod. The tomatoes here have no sour taste, pure sweetness, and the cod is also a specialty of the Norwegian coastal seas.
Also good is the spirit liquor called Snaps, which is native to Denmark. Snaps is its transliteration, and if translated in Danish, it is called eaux-de-vie.
It is brewed with direct fermentation of potatoes and has a slightly bitter taste. However, Norwegians usually drink it chilled with beer and lemon juice, not only to remove the bitterness, but also to enjoy the feeling of both ice and fire: when you drink it, it is like a cold beer, and it suddenly becomes hot after entering the esophagus and stomach.
In fact, this way of drinking is very hurtful according to Chinese traditional Chinese medicine. However, people here may also be used to it, and different races may not have the same stomach.
Hong Tao only drank a glass of cold food and stopped trying. Instead, I chose to blend beer at room temperature, so that the stimulation of the stomach can be smaller.
At the beginning, Hong Tao and Wang Jian basically fought one-on-one with Elke and Odd, but after the two bottles of wine were drunk, Pan joined the battle group, she must be towards her father, and the result became 2 to 3, but in the end, there was no winner or loser, because Elke's wine was all drunk, and there was not a drop of 4 bottles left, and there was more than a dozen beers.
The result was also very good, everyone was happy, and Odd and Elk also performed the Norwegian fisherman's harvest song for the guests on the spot, although each sentence was not in tune, but the singing was sonorous and powerful, which set off the atmosphere.
When drinking, you can have no food, but you can't have nothing to say, as a fisherman, Elk and Odd have no other skills, how to catch more fish and where to fish has become their topic. And Hong Tao and Wang Jian are also very interested in this topic, they have gone out to sea to fish, but they have never fished, so the four of them hit it off, go to bed early, and go out to sea early tomorrow morning to fish!
"Shhh...... It's too cold too! The next day, when Hong Tao followed Elk out of the door, the cold air and rain rushed to his face, even if he put on a jacket, he couldn't stand it in a low grade, but fortunately Pan found a sweater for Wang Jian and Hong Tao to wear, otherwise it was really enough to resist on the sea.
By the way, I was complaining about Pan's college figure, these two sweaters were worn by her when she was in college, and Hong Tao's big man of more than 1.8 meters was not small at all, so it can be seen that Pan's weight at that time.
"Lao Wang, don't you think there's anything awkward?" Hong Tao asked Wang Jian as he walked.
"The shrimp hot dog I ate just now is a little spicy." Wang Jian didn't seem to understand Hong Tao's question.
"Foodie, what time is it?" Hong Tao continued to ask.
"3:40! What's wrong? Wang Jian still didn't react.
"Look at the sky." Hong Tao could only continue to remind.
"Oh, if you don't say I really didn't pay attention, it's all bright!" Wang Jian raised his head and pondered for a few seconds before he reacted.
Elke's house is less than 300 meters from the pier, but it's not really the sea, it's a small fjord.
Norway is known as the land of fjords, and there are countless fjords large and small in the country. The fjord, a geological formation that is not common in other countries, is a form of glacial erosion, specifically the replacement of fresh water in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River with seawater, with cliffs cut on both sides, and the longest inland can reach more than 200 kilometers.
However, the fjord in front of Elke's Gate is not so long, and the cliffs on both sides are not so high, but the small fishing boat drove for nearly an hour to calculate the entrance to the fjord, and there are no peaks in front of it, which is at least 10 kilometers.
The fishing boat of Odd and Elk was not very large, no more than 20 meters long, with a small wheelhouse at the bow and a large winch at the middle and rear with thick fishing nets rolled on it. The stern is more peculiar, there is no side, there is a ramp down, and a large roller is erected on the ramp.
"Elk, do you have a name for this ship?" Hong Tao stood at the door of the helm tower, dressed like a big bear, with his jacket inside, a thick raincoat with a hat on the outside, and non-slip boots on his feet.
"Mountain Demon!" Odd patted the steering wheel and proudly took his name.
"Dumplings, have you ever gone out to sea to fish?" Elk learned badly and learned quickly, and learned Hong Tao's nickname smoothly in one night.
"I've been on a fishing boat, I've never been on a fishing boat, but I know the general process of your fishing." Hong Tao looked at Elk defiantly.
"Haha Elk mistook Hong Tao's words as young and ignorant.
"Why don't we make a bet, the first net I and my friend operate, if we hit more than 50 catties of fish, even if we win, how about it?" Hong Tao plans to pit Elke again, he never makes a bet with no chance of winning, as long as he bets, he almost has the certainty of winning, although Elke did not offend Hong Tao at all, and invited him to drink, but that Pan often pits himself, just help his daughter pay off her debts!
"I bet with you! If you lose, I'll invite you to eat whale meat! It's very expensive to get something, and it costs more than 200 yuan a piece. Without Elke's consent, Odd accepted Hong Tao's challenge and made all the bets.
"That's me, the two of us have always advanced and retreated together!" Elke saw that his old partner had responded to the battle, and he couldn't show weakness.
"No problem, if I lose, I will invite you to eat whale meat, but there is one thing I want to explain, I only have to put down the net and collect the net, I will not find a place to fish, and I have to cooperate with you." Hong Tao saw that the stakes were a bit big, and quickly explained the rules first. (To be continued......)
