It was a sunny day, the sea was calm, and the sea temperature was suitable. It was really pleasant to go for a dip in the water.
Although this is a "barren sea" with very few underwater reefs, coupled with no prior preparation, there is a lack of professional tools for "touching the sea". However, Hong Yanwu and the others are "star-level" masters and are fully equipped.
Where people can't get seafood, they still have ways.
Therefore, just half an hour after the group launched into the water, a small pile of seafood was piled on the shore. These "trophies" fished out were enough for everyone to eat.
Hong Yanwu caught more than a dozen sea cucumbers and eight conchs. "General" and Chen Liquan, because they could break abalone by hand without using a "claw", caught twenty scallops and a dozen more abalones.
As for the "dead bodies", most of them are "high-street goods" such as "thorn pots". Such a comparison shows the difference in the level of "sea bumpers".
The most unexpected thing was that Yang Weifan was so excited and wanted to experience the life of a "sea bumper" that he took off his military uniform and went into the water too.
But this kid was not very good at "Zha Mengzi", so he could only follow the "dead body" to catch some "Mao Haihong" in the shallow water. But these harvests were enough to make the kid smile from ear to ear, and he kept shouting "Enjoyed"
”.
After fishing for seafood and landing, the first thing to do is to get rid of the cold in your body.
If you go into the water in spring, autumn, or early winter, you must warm yourself up by the fire as soon as you land on the beach. But in summer, it is different. You can rely on the heat on the beach to warm up, which is basically enough.
It's just that this feeling is not that pleasant. The cold air from the stomach is seeping out from the inside, and the heat from the outside is almost as hot as simmering eggs. It is a combination of hot and cold, which is both pleasant and uncomfortable. It makes people cry, not laugh.
Neither.
People like Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan who have practiced "Pai Da Gong", or people like "General" and "Dead Corpse" who have been in the sea all year round can still tolerate it.
But although Yang Weifan is a soldier, he is also muscular. But his little white flesh, which has not been beaten by wind, waves, or polished by sand and stone, is really unbearable. He jumped up within a minute of lying down, and his body was red.
It’s quite a big piece.
When he looked at the other people, they were still lying with their limbs stretched out like geckos, burning to death. He couldn't help but stretched out his thumb and said "That's awesome!"
However, in the life of "Hai Bangzi", what moved Yang Weifan the most was of course the moment when he started eating.
Looking at the bright red flames, listening to the crashing waves, the seafood in the fire "puffing" steam, and the small pot on the rocks gurgling with fresh steam, this scene is not at all
It makes people salivate and whet their appetite.
Yang Weifan carefully twitched his nose and stared hungrily at the bowl of hot soup that the "general" served him first.
But when he got it, he was dumbfounded, because it was just a pot of white boiling water with nothing in it.
The "general" greeted him kindly, "Try it, it'll whet your appetite." He took a sip with suspicion, but he didn't expect that the rich taste was so wonderful that he couldn't describe it at all. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "
So fresh!”
Then, regardless of how hot it was, he blew and sucked, and downed a whole bowl.
He clicked his mouth again to taste the taste, and then asked his doubts.
"What good thing is this? It's not sea cucumber, abalone, scallop, or snail. There's nothing in the soup, but why does it taste so good?"
Unexpectedly, the "dead corpse" actually told him, "That's 'sea turtle soup', a cheap thing that's worthless."
Yang Weifan couldn't believe it at all. His face was full of surprise and he was still thinking about the taste, which made everyone laugh "hahaha" on the spot.
It turns out that the freshest things in the sea are precisely the cheapest things.
The "sea worm eye" is actually a small, round mollusc like a steel worm that grows on the reef. It has a small hole in the middle. As long as you squeeze it hard, the small hole will "pop".
A stream of water spurted out from the ground.
And the water that is sprayed out is a thousand times fresher than "Red Plum" MSG. You don't need to add anything, just boil it in boiling water. Anyone who drinks it will be disowned by their parents and will be turned somersaults on the beach.
!
In the past, when "Haipongzi" went into the water in the cold weather, and after going ashore to warm up by the fire, they relied on a bowl of soup cooked by "Haipengyaner" to regain their vitality. As long as you drink it down, the heat will immediately overflow, your blood vessels will stretch, and you will feel more alive than before.
Laobaigan still works.
"Incredible, incredible! The sea is so amazing! You are also amazing! I feel like you are the real masters of the sea!"
After Yang Weifan learned about the situation through the "Hai Bangzi", he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. The last sentence even praised everyone in their hearts. Except Hong Yanwu, everyone was flattered, and their favorable impression of him increased a lot.
However, Yang Weifan is indeed a good person, and he is quite generous with his wealth.
From the beginning, he had no intention of eating the seafood from the "Hai Bing Zi" for free. Not only did he open two bottles of Maotai without any distress, he also took out several cans from the car for everyone to taste.
They were all large cans of one kilogram, standard military supplies. It was the first time for the "sea bumpers" to see them, and they were all a little excited to try something new. When they opened it, they were even more excited. One of them was braised in soy sauce.
Meat, one is luncheon meat, and the other is peanuts.
They were all real gentlemen. With a burst of cheers, several enamel white jars were filled with wine, and they started to start.
Now there is an obvious difference. Yang Weifan specializes in seafood such as "five-spice conch" and "charcoal-grilled abalone", and only eats some peanuts from canned food. But the "haibangzi" all eat canned meat.
, but ignored the seafood grilled on the fire.
However, everyone got what they wanted, and the already hungry friends all had a hearty meal, which was extremely satisfying.
Halfway through the meal, we started chatting and drinking. After burping, "Zi Zhi" asked Yang Weifan curiously, saying that he found that the cans all looked the same, and how did the soldiers in the army tell them apart? He would never rush.
What is it?
Yang Weifan laughed and said, "If you want to popularize marine knowledge to me, then I will also tell you something about the army."
In this way, the "Haichangzi" quickly learned some interesting facts about military cans through Yang Weifan's narration.
At that time, the cans were all made of tin cans, and the main flow was to the coastal defense ship troops. Only the plateau troops of the Army could enjoy this kind of treatment.
In fact, this kind of tinplate was very expensive at the time and could not be produced domestically. It was a thin iron plate imported from "Macao" with tin plating on the surface to prevent corrosion. Since "Macao" in English is "macao", we chose its transliteration.
Commonly known as "tinplate".
And it is precisely because this material needs to be purchased with foreign exchange that the country prefers one-kilogram cans when producing military cans, which saves two lids of iron sheets compared to 500-gram cans. As for the cans left after eating the cans, the scrap company
The purchase price is also very high, about 20 cents each, and it is often used in a variety of ways.
Some soldiers used it as a flower pot. At home, they cleaned it and used it as a spice box, soap box, miscellaneous box, etc. Some people even made it into a huqin, an erhu (a large one-kilogram can) and a banhu.
(500g small can), the sound effect is just okay.
Speaking of which, on the Korean battlefield, the cans of American soldiers were also made of this material. However, people did not take it seriously. In addition to throwing it around, they hung it on the barbed wire fence and made it ring when touched to prevent the volunteers from sneak attacks at night.
As for how to tell the difference, yes, military cans do have no outer coating and no words on them. At first glance, they all look like cans, so it’s hard to figure out what’s inside.
But in fact, there is no way to distinguish it at all, because the cans at that time were "sample punched" on the top lid to punch out the number classification of a combination of letters and Arabic numerals. The letter was usually "g", which is the Chinese pinyin for "can"
head, and then use Arabic numerals to distinguish different varieties such as braised pork, luncheon meat, salad dishes, peanuts, etc.
Interestingly, the largest and most common can of "braised pork" is numbered exactly "8". If pronounced, the combination of "g" and the Chinese pronunciation of "8" produces a homophonic sound similar to that thing below a man.
.
What's even more interesting is that among all the cans, the one that the soldiers are most disgusted with is precisely the can of braised pork that "Hai Bangzi" is now stuffing.
Because the preparation of this kind of braised pork is completed under high-pressure steam, and the final canning is all "solid matter" and there is basically no lean meat.
People who are short of oil and water will certainly find it tasty when they taste it for the first time. It will not take long before they become greasy.
If it is better in the cooler season, the oil will condense, and the broth will also condense into "frozen". It is still barely edible when eaten in pieces. If you want to stew a pot with cabbage and tofu, and eat it hot with vegetables, it can be considered
Unique flavor.
The biggest fear is that when the weather is hot, people in the army will be fine if they can fish out a few pieces of lean meat for two bites after opening the can. The remaining slurry mixed with oil and broth will be seen by everyone.
Don't love it either.
There is a saying in the navy that "I don't like eating pork after eating for a long time." This is definitely not a boast. In the Bincheng military port, the headquarters logistics held a discussion with the troops to solicit opinions. The most common opinion returned was, "
That "jiba" can is the worst!"
At first, the army leaders thought that the soldiers did not like canned food, and they were still puzzled. Later, when they inspected the factory, they realized that they just did not like to eat "g8" canned braised pork.
"Hahaha!"
It was really interesting to listen to Yang Weifan's introduction, and everyone laughed heartily.
The most amazing thing is that the "dead corpse" then added, "There are not only 'sea eyes' in the sea, there are also 'sea(****!"
"Pfft!" Yang Weifan spit out all the Maotai he was about to swallow, followed by a burst of laughter.
