"Well, I think you'd better continue to engage in bioengineering, a job that is more helpful to the great cause of time travel."
"Tell the truth if you don't like my smoked fish." Hu Yicheng said angrily, "Forget it, I just finished dissecting a rabbit..."
"Rabbit?!" Wu De.
"I caught it yesterday," Hu Yicheng smiled like a fox, "I plan to roast it for lunch."
"Noon?" Wu De thought with regret that he was still standing guard at the construction site at that time, so he would definitely not be able to eat roast rabbit.
"But I can leave you a front leg..."
Just when Wu De was about to say thank you, he suddenly remembered an old saying: If you show courtesy for nothing, you will be a traitor or a thief. This Xiao Hu is not familiar with him, so why treat him to eat rabbit meat?
Sure enough, Hu Yicheng's fox tail was immediately exposed: "Yesterday, um, I saw you making paella. Can I come to your place to join you?"
"Okay, but you have to bring your own rice." Wu De said happily, the paella will be more delicious if you cook more.
"That's great, I can also study at the same time." He pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "Team Leader Wu just came back and caught more than ten baskets of fish in the morning and is trying to figure out how to process it."
"Processing? Then I have to go take a look and don't waste it again." This time and space is indeed rich in resources.
"I'll take you there." Hu Yicheng probably admired Wu De's cooking skills. When he heard that he was coming to guide him in cooking, of course he was eager to ask for it.
A canvas tent was built in the back using tree trunks as pillars, and it was steaming inside. There were a row of large pots set up in a row, and those who lit the fire, chopped wood, and carried water were all very busy... There were people inside.
A few women! Fortunately, Wu Dexiang had the foresight to put on some shorts, otherwise he would have become an exhibitionist.
As soon as he entered the "kitchen", he saw a guy with a laptop and working hard. Xiao Hu stepped forward and said hello: "Nanhai, someone is coming to cook fish for us!"
Wu Nanhai raised his head and looked up: "Ade? How come you, a fisherman, haven't seen you on the boat recently?" He looked up and down again, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are just like a native."
"I'm not working as a guard post. I used to be a sailor, but now I'm a sailor." He took a look at himself. He took off his clothes and was lean. His skin was originally dark. Now he was shirtless and barefoot, only wearing a pair of shorts...
…This image is really vulgar.
"Nanhai, aren't you in the agricultural group? You don't build vegetable greenhouses, you raise chickens and feed pigs, but you become a gang leader?"
"It was Xiao Zishan's idea. In order to get rid of the trouble of managing the canteen, this kid insisted that agriculture is about eating, and said that it was natural for me to be the director of the catering office." Wu Nanhai said helplessly, "Actually, I want to take care of those rabbits and chickens.
Those chickens were probably acclimated and frightened, so they haven't laid eggs since getting off the boat. I don't know when they will recover. And the pigs are not in good health and refuse to eat, which makes people worry..."
The affectionate way he talked about the pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks made Wu De shiver.
"There are a lot of women serving as caterers, you are lucky..."
"What kind of blessing are you? They are all other people's wives." Wu Nanhai was not interested. "Besides, I have no interest in modern women. If I want to raise them, I should start with lolita. Speaking of which, the executive committee should send people to Guangzhou to buy lolita."
Bar?"
While they were deeply discussing the major issues of how old a loli is to be considered mature and whether the direction of cultivation is to be arrogant, speechless, naturally stupid, or a girl with glasses, a fat man came angrily. Wu Nanhai's expression changed drastically when he saw her.
He was about to bury his head deeper, but the man pulled him out.
"Where's my 'Blue Lightning'?"
Wu Nanhai said with a sad face: "This...you can express your condolences...we buried it, you know, the weather here is hot..."
The person who came had a look on his face, tears welling up in his eyes, shook his head and went out again. The suddenness made people stunned.
"who is this?……"
Wu Nanhai said: "This is Nikcha, who came back from Australia. This time he brought two racing horses and some homing pigeons."
Two retired racehorses, "Alan Chi" and "Blue Lightning", were originally registered by the Australian Jockey Club, although the horses are a bit older. Nikcha tried to rely on his own knowledge in this area and envisioned forming a cavalry team in the future.
But after arriving here, the harsh facts dispelled his initial assumptions. Horses are sensitive animals, and the noise after landing frightened "Blue Lightning", although the fixed plate frame forcibly restrained its restlessness.
, but it stubbornly hit its head on the wooden beam on one side repeatedly. It was not until the personnel and materials were disembarked that the horses and livestock were lifted ashore. Of course, there were no clean stables in the camp, and no horse grass could be found.
Even drinking water for the people in the base has to be transported from the boat, and the clean warm water that the horses need every day cannot be provided in sufficient quantities.
"He personally went to the executive committee and reiterated how precious the horse was, and asked for a supply of beans and wheat for 'at least five people a day'."
"The results of it?"
"Needless to say? Where did the soybeans, black beans and barley come from on the ship? I only have a few seeds. I brought some food, but in order to save space, I brought rice."
"Just rejected?"
"To be precise, I was declined, because that bastard Xiao Zishan kicked the ball to me again!" Wu Nanhai said angrily, "He insisted that I have the most love for animals. I did it to obtain animal products, not
The issue of love. Now as long as it involves living animals, it is all blamed on the agricultural group."
Probably to prove his words, the sound of dogs barking came from the fenced area behind, one after another for a while, and then mixed with horses neighing, cows bleating, pigs humming, chickens and ducks also joining in the fun. A neck
The cat wearing a bow came over again and rubbed against Wu Nanhai's trouser legs.
"This is Yang Baogui's dog. He brought five of them, saying they are future military and police dogs..."
"What about the horse?" Wu De still couldn't forget about the horse racing.
"I'm sorry to say that, he personally sent the horses and pigeons here, and also told me to take good care of these 'silent friends'." Wu Nanhai casually fished a small fish from the basket on one side and threw it to Xiao
Cat, "I have never learned how to raise mules and horses, and I don't know how to raise them. Horses don't want to eat -"
Hu Yicheng, who was standing next to him, nodded: "This horse is really difficult to take care of. It refuses to eat the grass we fetch, so it goes on a hunger strike."
"Yes, it seems to be still agitated and restless." Wu Nanhai said that Nikcha himself tried every means but could not make the horse calm down. It had not eaten for several days, coupled with the heat and flies and mosquitoes, it collapsed yesterday.
"Last night I called Yang Baobao to see me. He was a veterinarian. He said there was no cure, and then he died. I didn't even dare to tell him at the time..."
"That's a pity. The racehorses have great pedigrees."
"Actually, it's not a pity," Hu Yicheng said with a nonchalant expression, "They are all geldings. What's the use of an old gelding of eighteen or nineteen years old?"
"I don't think it's a big deal," Wu Nanhai said a little indifferently, "A horse racing horse can't do farm work, can't pull a cart, and can't plow the fields. It's not as useful as a draft horse."
"By the way, where's the fish?"
"They're all in the basket over there." Wu Nanhai frowned, "I don't know what to do. I cook fish in fresh water every day..."
"It will be available tomorrow..."
"Shh, what are you talking about?" Wu Nanhai licked his lips at the woman in the shed and whispered, "Do you want to be drowned in spit? I tell you, I don't know if the secret is revealed."
"It's done, it's done."
"Rabbit meat?"
"Hey, please help me think about how to deal with this pile of fish first." Wu Nanhai dragged him to the basket. The water was dripping with water and had the salty smell of the sea, which made Wu De feel very familiar.
There are all kinds of fish in the basket, big and small, even small sharks. The ammonia smell of this thing is too strong, and you can't eat it without processing it.
"Poaching in boiling water is the best way to taste seafood, with its original flavor, but now it is too bland to use fish as a daily protein supplement. My method is not unusual, it is to cook seafood.
Rice or barbecue.”
"Grilled fish? We don't have any spices..."
"You can make it without spices. Paella is even simpler." He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 10 o'clock. He had to go on duty until 12 o'clock, so he would go after dinner. "I'll demonstrate it."
"How many people can the field cooking pot cook at most?"
"Based on 4 2 meters per person, it's a portion for 100 people."
"Okay, I'll make a pot first, and then you can finish it."
When Wu Nanhai saw that someone was willing to take the initiative, he quickly gathered all the people in the catering department to wait for dispatch.
Wu De ordered everyone to pack up the fish and separate them according to size and variety. Red meat fish should be separated from white meat fish, fish with more oil should be separated from fish with less oil, and the size should also be graded.
"There are many types of marine fish, and we use them in different ways. Once the fish are caught on the shore, we must classify them in time so that they can be easily processed."
After Wu De said that, he took people to the river to pick wild vegetables. He picked a lot of wild vegetables nearby last night: plantain, bitter greens, wild onions and wild perilla. He picked two bundles and washed them in the water.
I tied it with a piece of thatch and brought it back with me.
A large amount of firewood was put into the stove, and someone blew the air. The fire was soon heated up, and the water was boiling to add rice. While the rice was cooking, he took the lead in picking up the fish as a demonstration.
Put the fish heads, tails, fish bellies aside, and chop the fish body into small pieces. Pry open the shells and take out the meat. Chop the kelp and wild vegetables into small pieces. After two fires, the rice will swell and the soup will become watery.
When the porridge is ready, throw all the fish, shellfish, and kelp into the pot, use a large spoon to stir the rice and fish evenly, simmer for a few minutes, then add wild vegetables and wild onions, simmer for a minute, sprinkle with some salt, and the seafood rice is ready in one pot.
It’s done.
The fish collected into the water, together with the small and useless fish of no value, can be used to ferment and make fish sauce. The catering office does not have a cement pool, but they found several large water tanks from the kitchen of the inspection department, and Wu De gave them instructions.
Let’s make fish sauce.
Theoretically, any fish can be used to make fish sauce, but generally only small fish with no economic value are used. Part of the fish produced during processing can also be used. Add salt in a ratio of about 1/3 of the weight of the fish, mix well, and add on top
Just cover the lid with bamboo strips and press it with a big stone. During fermentation, the outside temperature should be above 30 degrees Celsius. Wu De asked them to put the jar outdoors, which is conducive to fermentation.
"It will take a year to get ready," Wu De said, "but it tastes very delicious..."
He also taught everyone how to pickle and dry fish. For a while, the smell in the back of the kitchen was overwhelming, and flies came chasing the smell. Everyone couldn't stand it. One girl couldn't stand it anymore and ran outside to vomit.
——She was not lucky enough to enjoy the paella at noon today.
