Chapter 9 Delicious Ginger Duck
Li Xiaofeng drove for more than an hour before arriving at the town's fishing port.
There are hundreds of fishing boats of all sizes parked in the fishing port, and when the sea opens next month, the scene of all the fishing boats going out to sea together is still very spectacular.
Although the fishing ban period is not restricted, there is no restriction on catching the sea and fishing.
However, there are still very few fishing boats willing to go to sea at this time, and some people may think that fishermen are doing business without capital, but in fact, the cost of fishermen going to sea is not low.
For example, Li Xiaofeng and they went to sea this time, not to mention labor, the cost of diesel alone cost more than 300.
And this is still their ship is relatively small.
If it is a large ship, the fuel money is even more, and some have to add the crew's salary.
Now I can't get off the net, and it's basically difficult to get back to my original cost by fishing alone, and how much I can catch.
Therefore, many boats are reluctant to go to sea during the fishing ban period, preferring to park their boats in the fishing port.
This year, on their side, there is a fishing moratorium from May to September, and many fishing boats may stop for half a year.
(The fishing moratorium varies every year, and it is generally 3~6 months according to the notice of the fishery administration)
Some people may say that you can go fishing on the high seas.
First of all, many small fishing boats cannot reach the high seas, and now many places on the high seas have been turned into no-fishing zones in order to protect fishery resources.
Therefore, many distant-water fishing vessels do not go out to fish, and only the kind of large distant-water fishing vessels that can really cross the ocean can go to the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean to fish.
Such a boat is also what Li Xiaofeng dreams of buying, but such a boat is not cheap, at least tens of millions, hundreds of millions.
It is said that the mother and son entered the fishing port, and when they arrived at the dock, there were already people waiting on the shore.
The person who came was a purchaser from a seafood restaurant in the town, and Liu Xuexia had already called their boss in advance when she came.
In fact, such seafood restaurants have a direct connection with many fishermen, and only in this way can they source the freshest and cheapest first-hand seafood.
A total of dozens of catties of fish, a hotel will be left.
Weigh directly at the dock and settle accounts.
The sea bass is a little more than 62 catties in total, and they are all fresh wild fish.
The size of the hotel is all left, calculated 60 yuan a catty, the weight is 62 catties, a total of 3720.
When these fish arrive at the hotel, after being made into dishes, it is estimated that they can be sold for hundreds of pounds.
Of course, this is also someone else's ability!
As for the price of tiger fish, it was a bit unexpected by Li Xiaofeng.
Wild, or live tiger fish, the hotel gave a high price of 500 yuan a catty.
However, this thing is also a rare commodity during the fishing ban period, and the 3 pieces add up to 2 and a half catties, and they are sold for 1250.
A total of 4,970 yuan was transferred directly to Liu Xuexia's mobile phone on WeChat.
After receiving the money, Liu Xuexia couldn't help but smile.
The net income of this sea rush = 4970-300 yuan of oil money = 4670 yuan.
Even if it is two people, one person has an income of 2,335 yuan.
This is something that Liu Xuexia rarely encountered in the past when she rushed to the sea alone, unless she was extremely lucky.
What's more, the group of skewers I encountered yesterday can be said to be a rare encounter in a century, but today's sea fishing can be frequent!
Liu Xuexia was also completely convinced of her son's luck.
Her son is the head of fortune, and she decided where to go to the sea and fishing in the future, and she still had to listen to her son's advice.
After selling the fish, now that they were in town, the mother and daughter decided to add some stock to their refrigerator.
Liu Xuexia still remembers that when she was fishing on the boat today, her son told him that he hadn't eaten ginger duck for a long time, and decided to go to the vegetable market to buy a live duck and kill it, and make ginger duck for his son at night.
The two of them walked slowly along the cement road on the pier to the commercial area of the town.
As the only deep-water fishing port in Jiangzhou City, the town has changed quite a lot in recent years.
Li Xiaofeng remembers that when he used to go to school, there were not many buildings in the town, and the houses were similar to those in the village.
But now the town is full of high-rise buildings and crisscrossed streets.
Many brand stores have specialty stores in the town, which is like a city scene!
In the past, when Li Xiaofeng was in junior high school, he went to the town middle school.
At that time he lived on campus.
On Saturday afternoon, Liu Xuexia would take him home by boat, cook a lot of delicious food, and then sail back on Sunday afternoon.
(Previously, the school was closed for 1.5 days, and it started on Saturday afternoon)
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has also changed from a young boy to an early age.
And my mother has gone from being upright and in the prime of life to an old age with gray hair.
I really hope that time, you can walk slowly!
When passing by a hairdresser, Li Xiaofeng used the excuse that he wanted to go in for a haircut, so he pulled Liu Xuexia in and asked the barber to trim and dye her hair.
Looking at his mother, whose hair was all dyed black, Li Xiaofeng felt that he was at least 5 years younger, and said with a satisfied smile: "Mom, see for yourself, after dyeing your hair, you look a lot younger, and now that you are 40 years old, no one will doubt it!" ”
Liu Xuexia looked at herself in the mirror, both happy and distressed, but also distressed about the more than 100 yuan she had just spent on dyeing her hair.
After cutting their hair, the two of them went to the farmer's market and bought a freshly killed muscovy duck, as well as some vegetables and fruits.
Seeing that it was not too early, he began to return to the fishing boat.
After returning to the ship, Li Xiaofeng drove the boat to the gas station next to the dock, filled up the fuel, and began to drive the boat back.
After arriving home, Liu Xuexia began to get busy.
The ginger duck should be regarded as a traditional delicacy on their side, although it tastes good, but it is really troublesome to make.
When many people first hear ginger duck, they will think that the protagonist of this dish is duck, but in fact, it is not, the real protagonist of this dish is ginger.
The duck is nothing more than a side dish.
Liu Xuexia first washed a large amount of ginger, then cut it into thin slices and left it to dry on a clean cutting board.
Then put the muscovy duck in a basin, put some water, pour in a spoonful of salt, and soak for about 20 minutes.
(The main purpose of this step is to remove the blood from the muscovy duck.) If it is a stale duck, it is necessary to take a dip in the pot. )
While soaking the muscovy duck, Liu Xuexia began to mix the sauce again.
Put a spoonful of rock sugar in a bowl first, then add some medicinal wine soaked at home (if there is no medicinal wine, you can also add some liquor, cooking wine or rice wine), then add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of salt, and then prepare an appropriate amount of black sesame oil (if not, you can also use sesame oil instead).
(The amount of the sauce can be adjusted according to the size of the duck)
Then Liu Xuexia poured black sesame oil into the pot and heated it over low heat.
Then add 2/3 of the ginger to the pot, stir-fry the ginger over low heat, stir-fry until slightly yellowed (this can give the ginger a taste, and can also remove part of the spicy taste), fry until it is about sixty percent dry, and remove the ginger slices.
Finally, spread the freshly stir-fried ginger into the bottom of the cleaned casserole at home and add the duck meat.
Then spread the ginger that has just not been stir-fried on the duck, pour in an appropriate amount of black sesame oil, turn on low heat and cover with a lid, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Then open the lid and flip the duck and ginger over to avoid sticking to the pan.
Then cover the lid and continue to simmer for 15 minutes, then add the sauce just now, mix thoroughly, and continue to simmer for 40 minutes.
(Flip the duck from time to time in the middle to avoid the duck sticking to the pan)
Such an authentic ginger duck is out of the pot, and the ginger must be eaten, which is the soul of the ginger duck.
Liu Xuexia went to the vegetable garden again and picked a few tomatoes that were about to be stopped.
After cleaning, a small amount of white sugar was added, which was sour and sweet, and it was also Li Xiaofeng's favorite.
After Li Yonglin arrived home, he began to eat, delicious!
No matter how much money you spend outside, you can't taste it.
During the meal, I heard Li Yonglin say that there will be strong winds on the sea tomorrow, and you can't go to sea.
They were busy reinforcing the fish steak on the fish steak this afternoon.
