Chapter 205: Fresh Seafood Celebrates the New Year
"Dad, you're back!" Yuan Wenjie was very happy when he saw Heiwa, he hadn't seen his father for a month, and he panicked. Master Yan has added so much homework to them recently that it is not like words, so I look forward to my father coming back for the New Year.
"Hehe, Dad, I can't feel the atmosphere of the New Year in this big summer? If you're at home, as soon as my mother's cured meat is on the table, that's the flavor of the New Year! "What year is it called without lap-mei? Thinking of his mother's good craftsmanship, Yuan Wenwu swallowed his saliva, who in Yuan Mansion is not looking forward to celebrating the Chinese New Year's Eve?
"There is no cured meat, you are allowed to eat a ham tomorrow night!" Strictly guarded, Heiwa's inventory still has about 30 hams left. He made up his mind to enter the space at night these days and ask his daughter-in-law to open a small stove for him.
"Dad, can we invite Amanlin to the camp to celebrate the New Year together?" How can the food and Chinese New Year culture of Bactria not be spread here by the aborigines? They prepared a lot of picture albums and New Year's gifts for their friends.
"Okay, this kid hasn't been here lately? Didn't you still follow the front and back when you fired pottery last time? ”
"He's busy burning pottery, and he's now the master craftsman of their tribe!"
The Yuan Wenjie brothers are proud of Amanlin, this little brother has stood up by himself, maybe he can take over his father's class in the future and be the eighteenth chief of the jungle tribe!
The father and son also had a lot of words, and just as they were talking lively, a representative of a ship merchant came to him.
"Uncle, where did you come from? Tomorrow night, our shipbuilder invites you to enjoy the light with General Gao and Huang Shangshu, and also invites you to taste the craftsmanship of our cooks. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the military and the people are a family, and they celebrate the New Year together!" People say it so sincerely, invite it so enthusiastically, if you don't go, you won't give face.
Fortunately, most of these maritime merchants are feudal and superstitious, and they feel that it is unlucky to carry women on board.
So the whole camp is full of men, and Heiwa is a little less taboo about this kind of invitation, as long as he doesn't stuff women with him, he is not afraid.
There were no firecrackers, no couplets, and no red lanterns, and they wore summer clothes and spent the New Year shirtless and shirtless.
For the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and in order to improve the food in the past few days, the lake must be caught fresh, and the seafood is also indispensable.
The natives' canoes can't go to the depths of the sea, which really cheapens their group of outsiders.
Ten cargo ships were temporarily requisitioned as fishing boats, and they went out to sea just after dawn to return with a full load before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Large baskets made of rattan were loaded with seafood, and baskets were carried to the moored bay.
The dozens of baskets in front are all lobsters, and they are not too big, weighing about a catty.
After being away from the sea for so long, there are still people bouncing in the basket, don't look at it looks like Li Kui, it looks savage and vicious.
The body surface of the house is brown or orange, and the tail fan is colorful, showing orange, blue, and green, like a rainbow fan. The chest is spiny, with a pair of black and bright eyes, and the appearance is still very online.
Anyone who has eaten it knows that although this lobster is not big, it has meat in the bones, and the meat of the shrimp is tender and firm, which is more energetic than eating large lobster meat.
In addition to lobsters, there are many other areas in this area, the shell is white-brown, the shell surface has skirt-shaped folds, and the shell is dotted with green spots, like a peacock with a large shield fish.
The edges of their suckers are like fine lace like wood hibiscus, and they act like weak willows supporting the wind, swaggering softly under the water, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful shield fish in the world.
The shield fish with such a beautiful appearance is actually a strong man, and the adsorption power is extremely strong.
The turbulent water constantly brings fresh nutrients, and kombu, red algae, and green algae are their favorite foods.
After a long period of growth, the shield fish in this area naturally have a sweet taste that is superior to other shield fish.
The sailors of Shieldfish Island all admit that the shieldfish on Shieldfish Island are not as delicious as it.
There is also a white, flat marine fish that looks like a big-headed eel, and not only has beautiful scales, but also has a firm and delicious flesh.
All you need to do is thickly cut the fish, grill it on a stone slab, sprinkle it with salt, and it's delicious.
In addition to the above three protagonists, crabs, octopus, oysters, and shellfish are all available, and this long coastline is a paradise for seafood lovers.
There are a lot of caughts in the sea, and the crocodiles in the lake are also unlucky, and no matter how thick their skin is, they can't bear the machetes of this group of people!
In a matter of months, the crocodiles tried to escape, and they dominated the lake and marshland for several years.
The skinned crocodile only needs to be marinated with chili, pepper and salt, and then roasted on the grill over low heat.
The taste of crocodile meat is salty, and it tastes a lot like rabbit meat and chicken, and it is all lean meat. It's not as lean as poultry, and the overall taste is still delicious.
If the cattle of Great Xia are not slaughtered at will, then this wild buffalo will have no worries, and after the relationship with the jungle tribe is good, they have already hunted several wild buffalo herds.
It is no exaggeration to say: as long as they want to eat big fish and meat, they have it every day!
Many of the boat merchants come from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lingnan, and the cooks they bring with them are already very good at seafood dishes.
This dinner invited the three high-ranking officials, and the cooks had to do their best, and more than 20 dishes were served at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
"Mr. Gao, Xiao Ke respects you a cup, the sailors you brought will escort us, let us get here safely, we are very grateful, Xiao Ke can do it first, you are free!"
"It's done!" Gao Huaiyu is the temper of a bandit, and he doesn't need to persuade him when he drinks.
"Lord Shangshu, you are always a model for my generation, I respect you for your old cup!"
"Uncle, if it weren't for your plan, we would have starved to death on the island. Not to mention that you can also exchange those gold and precious stones, you are our great benefactor, benefactor, I want to toast you three cups! ”
Zhongqin Bo also did not refuse, he raised his head and drank, and the amount of alcohol was amazing, which calmed a group of people.
The shipwrecks never expected that this loyal and diligent man drank seven or eight pots of wine, his face did not change, he did not have a big tongue to speak, and he could eat while drinking.
Heiwa: Hehe, the cheat of labor and management, it's easy to use, this wine is swallowed directly into the field of space.
Originally, this group of shippers had been discussing for several days, and wanted to use tonight's dinner to get a few of them drunk and talk about it.
They don't believe that Zhongqinbo can delay for so long just to grow food here?!
But looking at his clear eyes, he was not drunk at all, and he didn't dare to ask so bluntly.
Someone came out and asked implicitly: "Uncle, the sweet potatoes you planted are really good, these plates of green leafy vegetables fried tonight are the sweet potato leaves that you plucked in the field, how long will it take for this sweet potato to mature?" ”
"One month if it's fast, two months if it's slow." I'll answer whatever you ask, and I won't think too much about it.
"Then let's get the grain and leave here?" The people who asked had no bottom in their hearts, but they were also troubled by waiting aimlessly.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes! After a year, I still have to walk around, the natives here are not rich, maybe the aborigines elsewhere can have a better life? Since you've been here, you have to bring something back, right? ”
The shipwrights are depressed, the most valuable thing in the indigenous tribe is the prey, and they have not been to the jungle tribe.
When it comes to hunting, they are much better than the natives, and they don't want to eat other grass seeds and plant rhizomes or whatever.
After drinking and spitting out the truth, this is still not in place, and another wave of shippers came to toast.
Gao Huaiyu and Huang Shangshu had already been drunk, leaving Heiwa alone, and directly drank the two tables of ship merchant bosses.
"Tsk, your alcohol consumption is too weak, hey, how good it would be if we were at home, my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship will not get tired of eating for two lifetimes!"
Heiwa eats delicious fish, and it tastes bad when she chews it in her mouth
Amanlin, who was celebrating the New Year with his friends in the base camp, saw that his friends had specially painted a lot of pictures for him, and the scenes of the New Year in Daxia were painted to him.
"See these firecrackers? The crackling movement is big! Occasionally, fireworks will be set off in the palace, this is this, rising into the night, it sounds good and looks good! "Qin Ke misses the emperor's uncle, he wants to celebrate the New Year in the palace, and he can also receive New Year's money.
"We want to greet our relatives and friends, so goodbye!" Yuan Wenjie demonstrated Amanlin and taught him New Year's greetings.
"Go to relatives, eat delicious food, and get New Year's money!" Yuan Wenwu made a short and incisive summary of the Chinese New Year.
Amanlin is now a complete Daxia fan, and he has learned to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables.
They eat the most shellfish, and the shield fish meat fried in butter is delicate and sweet, so that Amanlin can't lift his head when he eats it.
It wasn't until he had eaten the meat that his chopsticks pointed to the green sweet potato leaves.
After eating the cold sweet potato tip and knowing that this was the plant they had grown in that large field, Amanlin looked at his friends with burning eyes.
He learned to nod his head, shake his head, and give a thumbs up, a few simple gestures, which would make both thumbs up, and keep nodding his head.
"When the sweet potato is ripe, I will give it to you, and now the sweet potato in the soil has not grown!"
"When the sweet potatoes in the soil grow up, they can be boiled and eaten, roasted and eaten, and they are delicious!"
The friends gave him popular science, how to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes, and what they would look like when they grew up, which made Amanlin look forward to it very much, if these could be grown by themselves, the women of their tribe would not need to go out to collect.
Zhongqinbo Mansion has less family, and on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Cuihua's interest in cooking is a little weaker.
However, there are still two successors, the cousin and the cousins have returned to Dali Village for the New Year, and the eldest sister and Qitou are a little more than a year old, and they are not very neat.
The tallest Xiao Wu became the leader of the Yuan Mansion's naughty bag, and there was a hum who already knew a lot of words, fanning the flames on the side.
The laughter of children in the main courtyard, the sharp voice of starling, and the clanging of vegetables in the kitchen converged into the Chinese New Year's Eve song of Yuan Mansion in Beijing.
