183. Enthusiastic cousin, shy cousin(1/2)

 The transaction was very smooth, the money was paid and the goods were delivered.

It took more than 10 minutes for the man in red to walk to Li Xiao's lifeboat and pour the more than two kilograms of Buddha's Hand clams in his pocket into the bag of the lifeboat.

Li Xiao quickly thanked him,

"Thank you for the Buddha's Hand Shell. You should also pay attention to safety here."

Agreeing, the uncle finally nodded with a smile on his face, but he seemed to have heard the words "pay attention to safety" many times.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Can I be careless when I pick bergamot clams in the sea every day? If I am not careful, they will all die long ago. Okay, go back quickly. I still have to work here. I'll be there when the tide comes in.

There’s nothing I can do.”

After hearing what the uncle in red said, Li Xiao immediately shut up.

After bidding farewell to his uncle, Li Xiao rowed towards the fishing boat.

While rowing, Li Xiao explained to the people in the live broadcast room

"Uncle, this is not rude. The main reason is that time is too tight. Except for the time after low tide, this Buddha's hand clam cannot be picked at other times."

"After high tide, the water level will cover the Buddha's hand clams, but during low tide and high tide, the waves will be very large, making it unsuitable for picking."

"There are only a few hours a day when they can pick bergamot clams, so during this time, they need to work non-stop and not waste any precious time."

"Don't look at the man in red who sells bergamot clams for 1,000 in his pocket. You have to know that the low tide time today is about 4 o'clock in the morning, and the current time is close to 9 o'clock."

"That is to say, the uncle worked for five hours from early morning to dig up so many Buddha's hand clams."

"And he just said that the weather today is very good, with less wind and waves, so there is more digging. If we can dig half as much as usual, it may be considered very good."

"Don't think you can earn hundreds of dollars a day. It looks like a lot, but these hundreds of dollars are paid for with your life, and you won't be able to continue doing this job until you are in your early 40s."

"Because picking this bergamot clam is really harmful to the body. Even if you look at the old man in red, he looks very old. He is probably not even forty."

While talking, Li Xiao rowed back to the fishing boat.

The third uncle looked at the big bag brought here with his big belly. The back of my hand also showed a look of surprise on my face.

"Why is this guy so lucky that he managed to get so many Buddha's Hand clams?"

"The uncle said that the wind and waves were relatively light today, so there were more waves."

"I see, it's very dangerous to do this. I heard a few days ago that the village next door fell when I was picking bergamot clams. My lumbar spine hit the rocks directly. I was paralyzed. Now I can only lie in bed and be cared for.

.”

...

Li Xiao took out the gas tank and stove from the cab, as well as a few bottles of seasoning.

"This bergamot clam is quite delicious. I can't wait to go ashore to eat it. Let's start cooking it right away."

The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with doubts and complaints.

"No, no, the anchor really wants to eat this?"

"I didn't expect the anchor to be such a person with such strong tastes?"

"Those who appear polite on the surface usually have quite strong tastes behind their backs."

"I've tied myself up."

"I have already dug the basement at home and am waiting for the anchor to move in."

"Handcuffs, shackles, red candles."

"Hiss, there is a picture."

"Wait a minute, aren't we talking about this devilish Buddha's Hand Shell?"

"My friend said he is also very gentle..."

"Although I didn't understand a word, I always wanted to sign up."

...

"The preparation of bergamot clams is very simple. If you don't have any cooking skills, then we can directly add cooking wine and a little salt to the water. After the water boils, add the bergamot clams and tumble for 2 minutes before eating."

While talking, Li Xiao poured about 50ML of cooking wine and a little salt into the water. It didn't take long for the water to boil. Li Xiao quickly threw the cleaned Buddha's hand clams into the water, but he did not put them all.

Throw it in and only put in about 1/4, which is less than half a catty.

After all, he had to leave some to the shore and cook it in other ways, and he didn't want to finish such a good thing by himself.

Although Uncle San and his family also live by the sea, seafood such as Buddha's hand clams is too expensive and too rare, so they are definitely not willing to buy it and eat it.

Moreover, the reason why Li Xiao bought such high-quality bergamot clams for 500 yuan per catty is because he bought it directly from the pickers without going through middlemen. If he eats it in the market or restaurant, he estimates that it will cost at least 600 to 700 yuan.

A pound or more.

Two minutes passed quickly while Li Xiao was chatting with the audience.

Li Xiao used a sieve to remove the bergamot clams from the boiling water and placed them in a stainless steel dish.

Turning off the stove, Li Xiao turned his attention to the steaming Buddha's hand clams.

He licked his lips again. Compared to the eel he hadn't eaten in a year, he hadn't eaten this thing in years.

I still remember the last time it was Bergamot clams. When I was in high school, I dug half a kilogram of them myself from the rock crevices on the beach with my cousin.

At first, his cousin said that this thing was edible, but he was still dubious, thinking that his cousin was trying to tease him.

After all, that was the age when children were the most naughty. Who knew that after this thing was brought back to the third uncle's house, the third aunt immediately hung her son up and beat him, and told him not to dig this thing at the beach again.

After all, the third uncle's family lives by the sea, so they are quite familiar with things like Buddha's hand clams.

You must know that many people will die in every Lianwa. Even if they don't die, the injuries will be very serious if something goes wrong.

Because even on the coast, the places where this Buddha's hand clam can grow are in places with high winds and rough waves. After all, this thing does not move and relies on the waves to wash the food into their mouths.

So even the beach is very dangerous. She is really worried that her son will risk his life just for a little food.

Li Xiao blew on the Buddha's hand shell and picked the largest one with a vicious look.

Bergamot clams have no meat at all when they are small, and the bigger they are, the tastier they are and the sweeter they are.

"The Buddha's Hand Cup contains seventeen kinds of amino acids, of which the sodium glutamate content is 6 to 7 times higher than that of ordinary seafood, which is the main source of its rich umami flavor."

Li Xiao displayed the largest Buddha's hand shell on the plate in front of the audience. Although it was the largest, its size was only slightly larger than his thumb.

There is nothing we can do about it, after all, this thing grows too slowly.

"Eating this thing, especially when you eat it for the first time, really tests your inner endurance because it looks so weird."

"Of course, if you have a boyfriend, you can just ask your boyfriend to bite it open and peel off the skin for you, because the meat of this thing is quite normal, pink, tender and very cute, which forms a sharp contrast with his appearance."

"To eat Buddha's hand clams, you need to bite open its claws, just like biting open melon seeds, and gently place it on your teeth to crack it open."

"We can tear apart the claws and the scale-like skin along the claws on its head, up and down, and then we can eat the fresh and sweet meat of the Buddha's hand clam."

Li Xiao's fingers are very nimble, and he peeled off the skin of the Buddha's Hand clam on his hand while talking.

A piece of snow-white meat appeared in front of everyone.

Live broadcast room audience

"I am 1.7 years old, have long legs, and a sweet voice. I have signed up for the host's travel project. Now I need to find a boyfriend to share the travel expenses. I need to peel Buddha's hand clams for me. If you are interested, please add me as a friend."

"I, I, I, I, I, I... don't let anyone compete with me."

"I can peel this, I was born to peel, don't split it, I'm paying for it all."

"I have a friend who is also good at peeling Buddha's hand clams and applied to fight..."

"Hey, are people today so heavy on taste?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, there are so many talents!"

"Long legs? Sweet voice? Male? You have to share the travel expenses and peel bergamot shells??? Sorry, I can't stand it..."

"Originally, I thought the Buddha's Hand clam was scary enough, but I turned out to be naive."

"I'm afraid of ghosts, but they haven't hurt me at all; I'm not afraid of people, but people have hurt me all over."

"I checked the information and found out that this guy is not a shellfish, but a relative of shrimp and crab. It's outrageous."

.......

Looking at the happy barrage, Li Xiao said with a smile

"Okay, let me give you a taste to see if this is as delicious as before."

Or he would just throw the white and tender meat into his mouth.

The meat of Buddha's hand clam is very sweet, chewy and has a lot of juice inside.

If you chew it carefully, you can taste the strong taste of crab meat, but it is sweeter than crab meat.

The more he chewed this thing, the more fragrant it became, and he could even taste the sweetness in it.

Due to the addition of cooking wine, the tender flesh can taste the rich aroma of wine inside.

Because the bergamot clams were very fresh, he didn't even taste the slightest fishy smell in them.
