Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Fisherman's Feast (I)

On the way back to the fishing village, in order to reward the tourists who had been busy all morning, Xu Haibao greeted several villagers who were in charge of driving the boat. Let them use the seafood they have caught to make a seafood feast for tourists, so that tourists can feel the charm of live seafood.

For fishermen who often go to sea, lunch is often served on the fishing boat. Although there are not many cooking utensils, there are small coal stoves or alcohol stoves. Cook some caught seafood and serve it with a main dish to fill your stomach.

From the seafood caught, Xu Haibao picked a few wriggling octopus, and said with a smile: "Do you want to taste the octopus sashimi?" Although the way to eat it is a little cruel, the taste is really good, but it takes a little courage!"

"Brother Xu, is it just like that?"

"yes! Dip some hoisin sauce and eat it raw. The taste is still very authentic!"

While talking, Xu Haibao used the multi-functional knife he carried to cut off a piece of fish whiskers and dip some sauce into his mouth. The fish whiskers that are still wriggling are still struggling on Xu Haibao's mouth. It does take a bit of courage to eat like this.

He Xian Mushroom, one of the Eight Immortals in Su Province, first abstained: "Forget it, I really can't learn this!"

On the contrary, there were a few men, seeing that Xu Haibao ate deliciously, they also tried it. I found that eating octopus like this tastes really fresh, but the feeling of the fish whiskers wriggling in the mouth makes them a little unbearable.

Knowing that some people are accustomed to eating cooked food, Xu Haibao looked at the seafood he caught, and said with a smile: "I saw a lot of shrimp and crabs caught in the net, and there happened to be a pot on the boat, or I will pick some to cook a pot for you, and it is good to eat with sauce!"

"Okay! Brother Xu, you watch and do it, we are only responsible for eating! Don't say it, although we didn't work much just now, we are indeed a little hungry after staying on the ship for so long. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to eat more today!"

Xu Haibao, who cleaned the shrimp and crabs he caught and lit the alcohol stove, quickly cooked some pike crabs and shrimp. Looking at the hodgepodge full of seafood, everyone also felt very much looking forward to it.

At this time, Xu Haibao took out a sea bass weighing three or four catties, and continued: "Do you want to taste some sashimi? I guess you've all eaten this sea bass, but I guess you haven't eaten the sashimi made with this, right?"

"Isn't salmon used to make sashimi?"

Some tourists who have eaten salmon sashimi also raised questions in due course. In their opinion, the most common way to eat sea bass is steamed. Similar to Xu Haibao, they really haven't seen much of it.

In the face of tourists' inquiries, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Actually, sea bass can also be made into sashimi, although the taste is not as good as salmon." But this is a wild sea bass that has just been caught, and it is also very good to use to cut the fish fillet and eat it raw.

Although I would like to give you a whole moray eel to make sashimi, try to eat it cooked. Some people who have a bad constitution and eat raw moray eel sashimi, it is estimated that their stomachs will be troublesome and uncomfortable.

It's rare to catch a few moray eels, so I wondered if it would be better to use them for a big meal at night. The price of this moray eel is relatively expensive, and if you want to buy it, it is probably not so easy. Tonight, let's also let go of the belly and eat more!"

After a little explanation, Xu Haibao used his superb knife skills to share a sashimi cut into sea bass for everyone. After tasting it with sauce, everyone thought that the sashimi tasted really good.

Perhaps, as Xu Haibao said, this is the real authentic taste of seafood. Compared to the sashimi they eat in the hotel in the city, many of the fish fillets, which have been frozen for a long time before they are served, will definitely not taste as fresh as they do now.

When eating sashimi, Xu Haibao took out a few small bottles of Erguotou from the cabin, and said with a smile: "If you can drink a little to warm up, sashimi with Erguotou, it still has a different taste!"

"Brother Xu, if you have this good thing, you should have taken it out and shared it a long time ago! I didn't think about it, Brother Xu has thought about it so thoroughly, thank you!"

Han Xiangzi and others, who usually like to drink two glasses, know that although Erguotou is not a famous wine, it is better than the quality of the wine. While eating sashimi and drinking the second pot head, it tastes very good.

When the shrimp and crab boiled in the pot turned red, the fragrance that came from the lid of the pot still made He Xian Mushroom and others, who did not dare to eat raw seafood, finally have the opportunity to taste the taste of seafood. Throughout the fishing boat, the atmosphere became much more lively.

When everyone arrived at the area where they had been fishing before, they looked at the fishing team that was fully loaded, and the tourists who were fishing in the sea did not seem to have much to catch. But after getting on the fishing boat, they also joined in the practice of sharing delicious food.

After confirming that all the tourists who went to sea were on board, Xu Haibao also told him that he could go home. Tonight, the village will have a dinner, and the fish caught will also be sent back for processing in advance. Otherwise, it will be too late for dinner.

Seeing the fleet that went to sea to return to the village smoothly, Xu Mingcheng, who was in charge of organizing the farewell banquet in the village, looked at the baskets of fish carried off the boat, and said in surprise: "Baowa, what's the matter? You fell into the fish nest?

"Uncle Cheng, I should say that our luck is good! If I guess correctly, I guess it was the light of those sharks. Where we put our nets down, we came across sharks preying on schools of fish. As you can see, we have achieved a lot of results this time!"

It is indeed a good excuse to attribute such a harvest to the fleet to those sharks. For many fishermen, they know that sharks hunt a large number of fish every day.

Although it is not known why sharks appear near the water, it is possible that the frightened fish that they drove away accidentally crashed into the netting area of the fishing boat. With such an excuse, the fishing boats have a lot of gains, but it can also be explained.

Xu Mingcheng, who heard this, was also surprised and said, "Where did you see the shark?"

Xu Licheng, who was in charge of the pilot, said the location, and Xu Mingcheng was also very surprised: "The sea water in that place is not too deep, how can there be a hammerhead shark?" Baowa, what your third uncle said is right, you really have to be careful when you go to the sea in the future, this is not a joke!"

Knowing that Xu Haibao almost had close contact with a shark in the sea, Xu Mingcheng also knew that this kind of thing was very dangerous, so he told Xu Licheng again. In the face of Xu Mingcheng's concern, Xu Haibao naturally did not refute anything.

Gathering the fish caught by each boat, Xu Haibao discussed with several tourist representatives. The crowd picked out some of their favorite seafood for tonight's dinner, and the rest were intended to be sold as soon as possible.

With the money from the sale, the village buys a batch of drinks and other side dishes from the town. In this way, tourists can enjoy such a sumptuous seafood feast without spending more money, and tourists will naturally be happy.

After some selection, there is a lot of fish left. In this process, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Everyone, wait a minute, you can pick some seafood, I will ask someone to help you pack and freeze, and you can bring it back tomorrow."

Although it can't be stored for too long, it shouldn't be a problem to keep it fresh for two or three days. As you know, we don't have any good gifts in our village, so how about you pick up some seafood and we'll pack it and give it to you?"

"Okay, can you pack the swordfish too?"

"Yes, you can choose first, but it's better to divide the portion wisely. After all, the foam box we prepared is not too large, and we need to put some crushed ice in it. Therefore, there are too many seafood picked, which is not conducive to preservation and transportation!"

In Xu Haibao's view, in fact, you can also send some dried seafood to tourists. But he still hopes that dry goods are better for tourists to spend money on. This is also a rare extra income for the villagers.

As for the fresh marine fish, just grab some foam boxes and crushed ice and pack them for them by the way. When the tourists leave tomorrow, just let them take them back with them. If you pick too much, it is estimated that they will also find trouble on the road.

Seeing that the tourists selected a batch of seafood among the fish, Xu Haibao let his third uncle take charge of the rest of the seafood, and took a few villagers to open an extra fishing boat to sell fish and purchase drinks in the town.

The extra money will be distributed according to the conditions agreed before, after the tourists leave. In short, Xu Mingcheng and others are also very supportive of Xu Haibao's decisions.

In the past few days when tourists have been in the village, most of the villagers who receive tourists are very happy when they see the income of several hundred yuan a day. In their opinion, this money is indeed easier to earn than going out to sea to fish.

With the examples of these villagers, villagers who were not optimistic about the development of tourism in the village before also considered renovating their houses. It's just that for Xu Haibao, he didn't say much, just let the villagers think about it for themselves.

There will definitely be tourists coming to visit in the future, but who the tourists live in depends on who the tourists fancie. According to Xu Haibao's meaning, as long as he decorates the house and runs a homestay, he will take a picture and post it on the bulletin board.

Some tourists come and let them choose their favorite homestays. In this case, who can receive tourists will ultimately depend on luck. If there are too many tourists at one time, then everyone is sure to be able to receive tourists, and naturally there is no need to rely on luck!
