The sunset on the sea, the far end of the sea and the sky, the sky and the sea are the same color.
Red clouds, red sea...
The sky is like a dome, with clouds in the shape of fish scales. Half of the sky is dyed with color, gorgeous and beautiful.
Yan Xiaoxi and He Huan moved out the folding chairs and lay on them.
Chen Yuan also switched to the bridge on the rear deck and admired the glorious sunset.
A gust of evening wind blew in, blowing Yan Xiaoxi's hair, bringing her faint fragrance to linger on the tip of Chen Yuan's nose.
Yan Xiaoxi suddenly turned her head and smiled brightly: "It's so beautiful."
"Yeah." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's so beautiful."
The sun has completely set, and the clouds on the horizon are even more gorgeous.
Chen Yuan drove his yacht and passed by the Shili Silver Beach in Hailing. The sun set and the sky quickly darkened...
After bypassing Mawei, you will see the fishing raft breeding area known as the Venice of the East.
Countless fishing rafts and the cabins on top of the fishing rafts are all lit up with dim lights, creating a peaceful beauty like boating on the lake.
Passing through the fishing raft area, we arrived at the fishing port.
Different from the fishing port that was dotted with lights before, there are many big lights on fishing boats in the fishing port at this time. The channel between the fishing boats is brightly illuminated.
As the sea opening time approaches, the fishing port will become busier and busier.
Chen Yuan brought the fishing boat to the shore, tied it up with ropes, and fixed it before disembarking.
"Go to my house for dinner." Chen Yuan said after getting in the car.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others nodded.
Chen Yuan took out his phone and called Zhou Sheng, telling them to go home for dinner.
Zhou Sheng is already at Chen Yuan's house.
Back home, Chen Xin and Zhou Lan were busy in the kitchen making dinner.
Chen Yuan found a big basin and poured out the harvest from the sea.
In addition to conches, there are also lobsters, crabs, and a few fish.
"Make fresh fish porridge." Zhou Sheng said.
"Okay. You go wash the conch."
After a simple division of labor, everyone got busy.
Chen Yuan picked out the lobsters, crabs and fish and processed them. He first fried the lobsters and crabs, then added the ginger slices, boiled water...put in the millet, and then poured the fish meat in. Finally, he poured some white wine and white vinegar.
White wine can remove the fishy smell, and white vinegar can enhance the freshness. Just add a little bit of white vinegar.
Do not cover the pot, cook over low heat and stir occasionally.
Chen Yuan went over to help wash the conches.
Conch is delicious, but cleaning it is troublesome. Use a brush for large conches, and rub it repeatedly for small conchs...
I gained a lot today, so I won’t prepare any other dishes.
After washing the conch for half an hour, the fresh fish porridge is ready. Sprinkle some chives on the fish porridge, pour it out, clean the pot, add a little water, add some ginger slices, and pour the conch in.
Chen Xin started making dipping sauce.
"Let's try the fresh fish porridge." Zhou Sheng set the table and put the fresh fish porridge in a bowl.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others waited for Chen Yuan and Chen Xin to come out before starting.
"How does it taste?" Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi.
"It's so fresh and delicious." Yan Xiaoxi said. The umami taste goes straight to the base of the tongue...
This porridge is not thick, but has a particularly strong umami flavor and a slight salty taste.
He Huan also nodded and said: "It's very fresh. How did you make it? There is almost no fishy smell."
"Add a high degree of white wine and cook slowly." Chen Yuan said.
Yan Xiaoxi quickly finished a bowl of fresh fish. Chen Yuan stood up and served half a bowl of lobster for her. Yan Xiaoxi lowered her head in embarrassment: "This is too fresh."
He Huan looked at Yan Xiaoxi with an aunty smile on his face.
"More beer." Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng and said.
"Take it out."
Chen Yuan took out the beer from the refrigerator, one can for each person.
Zhou Sheng opened it and took a big sip: "Don't overcook the conch."
"Watch the time." Chen Yuan said, "Here, let's have a drink."
Everyone raised their beers and took a sip.
Chen Yuan watched the time and went in to turn off the fire, brought a large iron basin, poured some conches out, and brought it to the table.
Chen Xin brought out the dipping water. The dipping water was mainly spicy millet, coriander, chives, small lime, and light soy sauce.
Use a toothpick to pick out the conch meat, dip it in water, and it will be delicious when you take one bite.
"It's delicious." Chen Xin looked at Yan Xiaoxi and said.
Yan Xiaoxi nodded heavily: "It's delicious."
The conches I picked up today fill a big bucket together.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others soon couldn't eat anymore. Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng, two big eaters, drank wine and finished the conches.
After eating, Yan Xiaoxi collected those beautiful conch shells and prepared to take them home to make wind chimes.
It's very late, let's disperse.
Chen Yuan cleaned up the house, took the dried fish and garbage, and went downstairs.
Now the civet cat is also close to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan went downstairs to take out the garbage and saw the civet cat. This guy was a little fat. It came to Chen Yuan with a "meow" sound and rubbed between Chen Yuan's legs.
Chen Yuan came to the bench in the garden, took out the dried fish and fed it to the civet cat.
The civet cat ate the dried fish and purred. Chen Yuan smiled and stroked the civet cat's back.
"Meow", Daju ran over and looked straight at Chen Yuan with his two big eyes.
"Big Ju." Chen Yuan patted its head: "Why did you come out?"
"I took it out for a walk. After going downstairs, it ran this way." Yan Xiaoxi came over and asked, "Do you have a lot of dried fish?"
"Yes." Yan Xiaoxi sat next to Chen Yuan, took out the dried fish from his pocket and handed it to Daju.
The two of them just sat quietly.
The two cats in front of them were purring as they ate, and their food looked particularly delicious.
After sitting here for a long time, there is no dried fish left.
The civet cat stayed in front of Chen Yuan for a while, then ran to the flowers.
Daju nestled at Yan Xiaoxi's feet, looking up at the two of them from time to time.
Time passed by, and Chen Yuan answered the phone: "Hello, Dad... OK, I'll pick you up tomorrow... Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi: "It's getting late, go home early."
"Yeah." Yan Xiaoxi picked up the sleeping Daju.
This big orange was well raised by Yan Xiaoxi and gained a lot of weight. In Yan Xiaoxi's arms, it seemed like it had no bones.
When they came to the fork in the road, Chen Yuan pointed in the direction of Yan Xiaoxi's return: "I'll see you off."
Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips and responded softly: "Okay."
In the community at night, under the dim orange street lights, Daju is really asleep and snoring.
Chen Yuan smelled the fragrant smell of Yan Xiaoxi's body again, like jasmine flowers in the mountains, mixed with a faint milky fragrance. It smelled good, and it went up...
Usually it feels like it takes a long time to walk, but when I'm with Yan Xiaoxi, I can't feel the time. It's like I started at a fork in the road and reached the end in the blink of an eye.
"We're here." Yan Xiaoxi said.
"oh."
"I, I'm going up." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yuan. Under the dim orange light, her eyes seemed to be glowing and twinkling.
Chen Yuan looked at her, his heart pounding.
The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Yan Xiaoxi's heart was beating very fast at this time.
"Good night." Yan Xiaoxi's face was expressionless, even a little serious, and she didn't know why.
"Good night."
After a while, Yan Xiaoxi turned around and couldn't hold back after entering the elevator.
Her face was as red as a red apple and very hot.
School is about to start and I have to go back to school. I just wanted to confess to you. From the moment she sat on the bench playing with the cat, Yan Xiaoxi has been cheering herself up. But she still doesn’t have the courage...
