Entering the cold storage, Yan Xiaoxi's eyes widened.
In addition to the walking passage, the cold storage is filled with fish.
The temperature in the freezer is also so cold that after just a short time inside, the hairs on my hair stand on end.
I set up a ladder and found a yellowfin tuna weighing more than 30 pounds. This tuna was not big, but very fat.
After coming out of the cold storage, Lin Xinhai locked the door and brought Chen Yuan a foam box.
"I'll get some other fish." Chen Yuan said.
"Just take it."
Chen Yuan went to the No. 2 freezing chamber, which contained grouper, snapper, stonefish, etc.
Chen Yuan first selected a few snappers suitable for steaming, then took a few stone fish, a few moray eels, and some bright red deep-sea stone fish.
Stonefish is very ugly, with venomous spines on its back, but its meat is tender and has no thorns. It has extremely high nutritional value and has medicinal effects of promoting body fluids and moisturizing the lungs. People with bad skin can also eat it to beautify their skin.
"We're going back." After loading the fish, Chen Yuandao said.
Lin Xinhai smiled and said, "Hmm," and said, "I have already booked the banquet, No. 2, at Haihai Renjia."
Chen Yuan nodded: "You can arrange these things yourself."
Lin Xinhai got up and saw them off, and then talked about the high-power windlass and crane.
The fishing boat equipment can only be updated after all the fish are sold, which will probably be completed on the 10th of next month.
"Just rest for a few more days, don't worry." Chen Yuan said.
Lin Xinhai smiled and nodded: "A fishing boat has returned. I'll go over to see if there are any good crabs for sale. Be careful when walking on the plank..."
"How much is the price of seafood now?" Chen Yuan asked.
Lin Xinhai told Chen Yuan the approximate price. After the sea opened, the price of some seafood was half cheaper.
Chen Yuan stayed behind, waiting for Yan Xiaoxi and He Huan to get ashore, and then stepped onto the board: "Would you like to eat crabs?"
"Is it expensive?"
"Not expensive." Chen Yuandao: "Crabs should be very cheap now."
"Go over and have a look." Yan Xiaoxi said with a smile.
Chen Yuan threw the foam box into the car: "Master, would you like to get in the car?"
"I'll walk there." Lin Xinhai pointed to the fishing boat not far ahead and said.
Chen Yuan started the car and came to the most prosperous area of the fishing port.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, fishing boats from the offshore area began to come back one after another, especially some small fishing boats.
Zhapo is now very lively, and there are many people on the shore waiting for the fishing boats to come back to buy seafood.
Chen Yuan parked the car, got out of the car and walked to the roadside where the stall was set up.
Yan Xiaoxi saw that all the fish were fresh, and then asked what kind of fish this was, what kind of fish was that...
There are too many types of sea fish, and Chen Yuan only knows some common fish.
"I'm not a marine encyclopedia." Chen Yuan said, "I don't know many fish."
"Buy some Pipi shrimps." Yan Xiaoxi pointed to the Pipi shrimps in front.
Those Pipi shrimps are still alive.
Chen Yuan came to the boss with Pipi shrimp and asked, "How much does 1 catty of Pipi shrimp cost?"
"eighty."
Chen Yuan knelt down and looked at it: "Seventy."
"Seventy-five."
"seventy……"
"Okay, how much do you want?"
Chen Yuan picked up the net, copied a net of shrimps, and drained the water.
The Pipi shrimps here are of good size, and some of the Pipi shrimps have paste.
The seafood here was very cheap a few days ago. It’s National Day, and the prices have suddenly gone up.
National Day is coming soon, and there will be many tourists coming to the island.
If you go to Zhanjiang, you can buy fresh Pipi shrimps at the dock for about 40 to 50 yuan.
Chen Yuan weighed five kilograms of Pipi shrimps, then bought three kilograms of flower shrimps and two kilograms of sea shrimps.
Crabs are cheaper, depending on size, freshness, and type. For one hundred and sixty yuan, Chen Yuan bought three kilograms of quite large flower crabs...
"How are you going to eat after buying so much?" Yan Xiaoxi asked when she saw that Chen Yuanti was much better.
"Bai Zhuo." Chen Yuandao.
"Make a hodgepodge." He Huan said: "Buy a few more conchs and make a hodgepodge together."
"OK."
Chen Yuan and the others wandered around for a while, bought some sixty-six shells, conches, and oysters, and then called Zhou Sheng: "What are you doing?"
"Fishing." Zhou Sheng said.
"Why don't you come over for dinner? We got a lot of seafood." Chen Yuandao said.
When I went to the shipyard just now, the fishing boat was parked on the sea and I didn't see Zhou Sheng's car.
"We're fishing on rocks here in Tong'ao."
"How's the catch?"
"I caught a few kilograms of Shi Jiugong, but not much fish. Is your girlfriend coming over?"
Chen Yuan said ‘hmm’ and said, “Come back soon.”
Returning to the underground parking lot of the community, Chen Yuan helped Yan Xiaoxi and the others take down their luggage. When they returned home, Chen Yuan put down the foam box and took out all the fish inside.
"Can't you eat tuna tonight?" Yan Xiaoxi put down her suitcase and said as Chen Yuan took out the frost-covered tuna.
"This tuna needs to be defrosted slowly at low temperature. It will probably be eaten at noon or afternoon tomorrow." Chen Yuan put the frozen tuna into the low-temperature preservation of the refrigerator and took them to the bedroom.
A bedroom with a bathroom and a view of the sea was arranged for Yan Xiaoxi.
He Huan's bedroom is very small. Strictly speaking, it should be a nanny's room. There is a small double bed, an integrated wardrobe, and a dressing table in it, so there is not much space.
There were new sheets and bedding at home. Chen Yuan took them out and helped them lay them out before getting ready to cook.
Daju was looking at the new environment in the living room. When he saw Chen Yuan, he called out "meow" and trotted over to rub Chen Yuan's trouser legs.
Yan Xiaoxi looked on with a smile on his face: "Daju and you are very close."
Chen Yuan smiled and touched Da Ju's head: "No, I have been feeding it for a long time."
Entering the kitchen, Chen Yuan looked at the seafood he bought, took out his phone and called Zhou Sheng: "Hello."
"What are you doing?"
"Are you back?"
"On the way."
"You go to the supermarket next to Evergrande and buy some beer, as well as ginger, chives, etc. You can buy them as you watch."
"Okay. Do you want soy sauce, vinegar or something?"
"Just buy it when you see it." Chen Yuan said and hung up the phone, poured out the shrimps and put them into a big basin, along with shrimps, crabs, etc.
Shelled seafood is delicious, but it’s troublesome to wash.
Youyan Xiaoxi and He Huan helped wash together. Before they finished washing, the doorbell in the living room rang.
Chen Yuan went over and opened the door. Zhou Sheng was holding two boxes of beer, and Zhou Lan was holding one box. Chen Xin was holding a bag, which contained soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, as well as ginger, garlic, chives and so on.
"Is the meal ready?" Chen Xin asked.
"We haven't started yet." Chen Yuan took Chen Xin's things and went into the house.
"Sister-in-law." Chen Xin saw Yan Xiaoxi and shouted with a smile.
Yan Xiaoxi was embarrassed, but she responded softly: "How many fish did you catch today?"
"They are all Shi Jiugong, and there are also a few miscellaneous fish, which are estimated to be more than four kilograms." Chen Xin poured out the fish: "These fish can be used to make fish soup."
