Jian, Chen, Jianhai and the other three looked at their acerola trees curiously.
Lao Yan smiled and said:
"You didn't come at the right time. The small papayas here were very delicious before, so I picked them all. Otherwise, you would have eaten a few at a time, which would definitely be very satisfying."
When Lao Yan said this, his face was full of smiles, and wrinkles appeared at the end of his eyes.
The bright sunshine hits the green leaves, making them emerald green.
The sounds of birds and insects sounded on both sides of the road,
There are beautiful flowers of various bright colors at your feet, and everything looks full of life.
Just as he was saying,
The three people had already walked into Lao Yan’s small courtyard,
As soon as I entered,
Chen Jianhai could already smell the strong smell of seafood porridge.
Lao Yan’s yard is not big and is kept very clean.
Lao Yan enthusiastically moved the stool to the table and asked several people to wash their hands and eat.
There are not many vegetables on the fishing islands, but seafood is as common as the vegetables on the shore.
For fishermen like Lao Yan,
There are basically three ways to cook seafood: frying, boiling and boiling.
Incomparable to the sophistication of hotels and restaurants,
There is nothing particular about the dishes, but the fish and crab made in this way can best bring out the original flavor of seafood.
At this time, the table was already filled with delicious food, fish, snail meat, and big crabs.
Maybe Chen Jianhai and others are thirsty.
As soon as it was served, several people invariably stared at the pot of meatball soup made of eel meat on the table.
Lao Yan’s wife is a woman in her forties,
When he smiles, his eyes are crooked and his face is a little chubby, and he looks particularly blessed.
She first poured some minced ginger, chopped green onion, balsamic vinegar, and pepper into everyone's soup bowl, and then poured a ladle of cooked eel soup.
Immediately, the umami flavor of the fish soup was activated by the flavor of balsamic vinegar.
Immediately afterwards,
Lao Yan's wife picked up the spoon again and put four cooked eel balls into each person's bowl.
Although the skin of this kind of handmade fish balls made by fishermen is uneven, the texture is very delicate, fragrant but not fishy, and the bite is full of fish meat and tastes super fresh!
Seeing the white and delicate eel balls stuffed into a delicious soup bowl like a fat baby, Chen Jianhai could not hold back.
Just pick one up and put it in your mouth,
"Well……!"
The full meaty texture rolls back and forth between the teeth, and the delicious gravy explodes unbridled!
There is very little flour in the meatballs, so the bite texture is not as chewy as expected, but it does not have the soft feeling of ordinary fish balls. When you eat it, you will feel a strong sense of satisfaction in your mouth.
“I have never had such delicious fish balls!!!”
Xu Bo held the soup bowl and without even raising his face, he picked up a fish ball with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xiaolang was sweating profusely after eating. After two mouthfuls, he ate the entire bowl of soup and meatballs.
Jian Chen Jian Hai, the three of them ate deliciously,
Lao Yan's wife seemed to be looking at her hungry brother who was devouring his food, her eyes curled up in laughter.
"This soup is made from eel bones, which is very fresh. Try the fish skin again."
…
The table full of dishes was immediately eaten by three people.
After holding up the bowl and drinking the last mouthful of soup, Chen Jianhai lazily fell down on the stool.
"Hiccup~"
A loud burp came out.
"too delicious.",
Chen Jianhai touched his belly unconsciously, looked at the remaining snail meat on the table, and sighed.
"It's all my fault for my unsatisfactory stomach...I can't even fit in a single bite."
…
The island has a slow pace of life.
Plus feeling sleepy after eating too much.
In the afternoon, the island is the sunniest.
Chen Jianhai and the others were too lazy to go out and do some activities, so they simply lay under the tree to take a nap.
On the small table next to it, cleanly washed acerola cherries and fruits were placed.
Three coconuts with straws stuck in them were piled together like clinking glasses.
Anyone who is thirsty can stick his neck in and take a sip without even moving his hands.
No matter how you look at it, you look like a retired man living a leisurely life.
"It's time to take a break..."
"In the past, at this time, I was in the kitchen leading Daodun and the others to make afternoon tea like crazy. Every day was like a war."
Xu Bo yawned, his eyes too sleepy to open, and his voice was full of exhaustion.
"When I used to make noodles as a hobby, I just thought it was fun every day. But once my hobby turned into work, I realized that it was really tiring..."
"Who says it's not the case... In the past, I was always in the store collecting signatures."
Xiaolang said a little aggrieved,
After Langfu made enough money and handed over the management of the barbecue restaurant to Xiaolang, he took Langma around the world to wander around.
If both parents are in Nanjiang,
He wouldn't get up early and go to the morning market just to buy leeks for one dollar a pound. He wouldn't even have time to drive a sports car out and meet the young lady.
Chen Jianhai listened to the sighs of the two good brothers and sighed for a long time.
"Who says it's not..."
"In the past, at this time, I was in the lobby of the hotel with the air conditioner blowing on, drinking afternoon tea and looking at the beautiful girls on the beach. Now I look at the green island and it feels really good."
The words just fell.
An acerola cherry hit Chen Jianhai accurately on the head,
"Shut up, you!"
…
pleasant afternoon,
The three of them leisurely played for a while on the deck chairs. Finally, the time came to around 10 o'clock at night.
The heat in the air gradually subsided, and the sea breeze brought a bit of coolness.
After Lao Yan's wife finished her meal, she went to the beach to dance square dance with other fishermen.
Chen Jianhai and others followed Lao Yan on the fishing boat and went out to sea to fish!
The waters of Xiaomajia Island are crystal clear and extremely rich in resources.
Just like people have their own work and rest time, the fish in the ocean also have their own work and rest time.
A few people took fishing hooks and bait in Lao Yan's fishing boat, and soon they arrived at a relatively calm water area.
The sea at night is not as beautiful and magnificent as it was during the day.
Except for the location of the cruise ship's lights, the surrounding sea was dark and seemed a bit intrusive.
Under the calm waves, there were many fish attracted by the light.
During the day, it’s admirable to see these fish schools.
At night, these fish are prey.
Coupled with the dark sea around it, it instantly gives people the thrill of ambushing prey in the middle of the night.
“The sea here is the calmest and there are the most squids,”
Lao Yan was experienced and said to the three people after parking the boat;
“We usually hook the small squid first, and then use the small squid as bait to catch the big fish.”
"A squid for a big fish."
As Lao Yan spoke, he hung the bait on the fishing rod and threw it into the sea.
Immediately, the fishing line rotated rapidly and continued to sink into the sea water.
“When fishing for small squid, remember to sink the line to a certain depth.”
"Because small octopuses only attack living things, the fishing line must be teased, pulled slowly, and teased repeatedly...otherwise, the octopus will run away."
Lao Yan told Chen Jianhai and others the precautions for catching small squid, while giving a demonstration himself.
After a while, a small squid sprayed ink and was fished out of the sea.
