The more beautiful the time, the faster it passes. Although everyone is still unfinished, the three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
On the evening of July 5th, around the bonfire, the "Hai Bangzi" collectively prepared a sumptuous farewell dinner for Han Ying.
In addition to bringing out a lot of wine and various cans as expected, the beachcombers also tried their best to fish and catch crabs on the spot.
"General" and Hong Yanwu went to fish for Han Ying's favorite "red snails" and "scallops", and cooked a pot of "five-spice conch" and a pot of "steamed scallops".
Chen Liquan broke off dozens of large abalones, picked out all the meat and grilled "sea mutton skewers".
"Shrimp Crawler" and "Flying Crab" used spearguns to kill two fishes for "sashimi".
"Baju" and "Sanjizi" also caught two large "black fish" and "yellow croaker" to stew and eat.
In addition to wildly fishing for "thorn pot" and "sea red" in shallow water, the rest of the people also caught a lot of "mole crickets and shrimps" and dug out a lot of clams.
It should be said that everyone was really attentive and worked together to prepare a lot of lively and fresh seafood for this girl.
However, the most outstanding person of the day was "Old Saury". Even though he didn't get into the water, he made two wonderful dishes that are absolutely unparalleled in the world to bid farewell to Han Ying.
The first dish is "Grilled Starfish".
When "Old Saury" found more than a dozen starfish bigger than a hand to make this dish, all the "Sea Touchers" were in disbelief.
The impatient "Flying Crab" even stared at his bulging eyes and asked directly, "Do you want us to eat plastic!"
Indeed, in the eyes of "sea bumpers", starfish do look like colorful plastic skins, and they cannot be associated with the word "eating" in any case.
Unexpectedly, "Old Swordfish" didn't say a word. He simply roasted the starfish over and over again on the fire. When they were almost roasted, he took the starfish's horns and smashed them down one by one until the starfish's
On the bottom surface, five large gaps were split along the middle of the five corners.
At this time, everyone took another look and saw rows of golden-red luster shining through these gaps. It turned out to be densely packed starfish eggs.
As a result, when Han Ying tasted it, she commented that it was fragrant, fresh, and a little sweet. She smacked her lips alone, and actually ate three of them in a row. Then everyone came up one after another, tearing the roasted pieces with their mouths.
starfish.
In Hong Yanwu's view, the taste of starfish eggs is actually similar to that of fish roe, but this way of eating is more vigorous and more enjoyable.
As for the other people, they were even more amazed. The "general" went to ask "Old Saury" and said that he had never thought that starfish could be eaten. He asked "Old Saury" how he discovered it?
Unexpectedly, "Old Swordfish" said calmly that in the past, "Hai Bangzi" would sometimes be trapped by high tides. When he had nothing to eat, he had to think of any way. He was once trapped in "Shoulong Island" during a storm.
” I discovered it by accident.
Hearing what "Old Saury" said, the "Hai Bangzi" were touched. "General" was silent for a long time before saying that it turns out that in all industries, the older they get, the more valuable they are. Even though "Old Saury" can no longer enter the deep water, but
The things he has in his belly are enough for everyone to learn for a lifetime.
Everyone also nodded one after another, making "Old Saury" feel proud and show his face.
The second dish of "Lao saury" is called "Xiang Shao Ya". Compared with the extraordinary "Grilled Starfish", it is even more exciting and can be said to be a shock to everyone.
Before making it, "Old Swordfish" himself said, "No imperialist president or socialist leader has ever tasted this high-end dish of mine. In the past, only the top 'Hai Bongzi' could occasionally enjoy it."
The most delicious food in the world. Why do you say that? It’s because there must be many types of fresh seafood, at least ten or more, otherwise it won’t taste enough. It’s difficult to make everything with just one or two ‘sea bumpers’
.I also borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha today, and it was all thanks to the big guys that I got the materials..."
Indeed, even though the preparation of this dish is not complicated, it does require a lot of good ingredients.
The specific method is to kill a big fish first, take out the "fish maw" (jargon, fish stomach) inside, and wash it with sea water.
Then add sea cucumber, conch, abalone, scallops, clams, spinach, sea red fish, black fish, yellow croaker, crab roe, live shrimp...these fished clean meat, sprinkle with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar and mix well.
Finally, put all the mixed ingredients into the fish belly, tie it with fish tendon thread, and grill it while turning it on the fire. In this way, the fresh flavor of all the seafood cannot escape at all, and it can only be eaten.
Stewed inside, they infect each other.
When the fish belly is completely roasted to a golden brown, the swollen fish belly will crack slightly and develop silky fine lines. At this time, you can see the hot fresh air begin to escape from the fine lines, and then wait until it is completely "pop" steaming.
At this level, you can eat it.
In fact, you don't even need to taste it with your tongue to know that it is absolutely delicious, because the smell is so fragrant that everyone who smells it will start to shed tears without exception.
To be honest, if Han Ying hadn't been here, the "sea bumpers" would have rushed forward impatiently like wolves smelling blood. But now, with Han Ying, everyone can only be honest.
It's like a child in kindergarten, sitting obediently waiting for the aunt to share the candies.
Due to the lack of bowls and chopsticks at the beach, the "old saury" cut off nearly half of the fish for Han Ying alone with a fish knife, and the rest of the people simply used the most primitive way of taking turns to taste it in order of age, each person taking a bite.
At the same time, because the quantity is small, everyone can have a taste. "Lao saury" also carried forward his style and said that he had eaten it many times in the past but gave up this time.
So it was the "general's" turn to bite first. Unexpectedly, this guy just took a small bite gracefully in front of Han Ying.
"Flying Crab" immediately became happy and said, "I want to save my brother's face. I guarantee that he won't have the chance to bite me again!" Sure enough, "Ba Octopus", "Sanjizi", "Flying Crab", "Shrimp Crawler", Hong Yanwu
, Chen Liquan... After lining up like this, I saw the half of the fish belly disappearing in one bite after another.
There is no way, "Xiang Shaoya" is really fresh and fragrant, and it is a delicious food that makes people want to swallow it. Everyone chews it tastefully for a long time before swallowing it reluctantly. Even in Hong Yanwu's opinion, it is just
Even "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" is far inferior to the taste of this dish.
So no one gave in at all, and when it finally came to "Xiaobaizi", he didn't show any politeness at all, and hurriedly ate all the remaining fish maw, completely wrapping it up.
This situation seemed to have been hit by "Flying Crab"'s words, but he mentioned it again, and just as he laughed at "General" twice, he saw Han Ying personally picking up the "Xiang Shuya" in the bowl with chopsticks.
Go to the "general's" mouth and feed him.
Well, this time the evil smile turned into a dry laugh, and "Flying Crab" was completely embarrassed.
Everyone laughed when they saw this scene. As "Old Saberfish" shook his head and concluded, "Silly boy, I have a partner, how can I be the same as a bastard like you!" Everyone said again
I couldn't help it, and there were boos all over the place. Instead, they all started laughing at "Flying Crab" for being so stupid.
After feasting and changing glasses, the dinner gradually came to an end. As the bonfire faded, the time to say goodbye finally came.
The "general" brought a "spear gun" and got on the tricycle. It was time for him to send Han Ying back to the construction site. The "sea bumpers" also brought a lot of noodles and canned food and put them on the car for Han Ying.
take away.
Before finally getting on the bus, Han Ying reluctantly said to everyone, "I've been so happy these days! So happy! It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would be like you and do 'Hai Bangzi'."
Unexpectedly, "Sanjizi" immediately responded, "Fortunately you are not a man, otherwise, who would our eldest brother marry?"
One sentence made everyone laugh again.
However, in the firelight, Hong Yanwu suddenly discovered that this time the smiles of the "general" and Han Ying were a little stiff, and they did not look like they were happy from the bottom of their hearts. To put it bluntly, both of their smiles were a little fake, and there was something unknown in their eyes.
Why, everything is filled with low melancholy, like a dark cave under the water.
Of course, under the dim and flickering light, Hong Yanwu was definitely not clearly identifiable. It was just a feeling. But feelings are often more accurate.
Because just over an hour later, when the "general" sent Han Ying to the construction site and returned, he quietly woke up Hong Yanwu, who was already lying down, just like he did at "Yunwu Cliff" last time.
The sadness was revealed.
Only then did Hong Yanwu realize that the relationship between "General" Daqing and Han Ying had gone through a lot of time and emotional tests to get to this point. Their relationship was now facing problems that left them helpless.
