After watching the sunrise, the three people dug for a while and then returned to the beach with their harvest.
On the beach, Shen Yiyi and Xia Yuanyuan, each holding a small shovel, were digging in the sand. Four five-year-old children spread out and were looking for holes.
When Sun Yuanyuan saw her brother coming back, she cheered and ran back. The other children stopped looking for holes and all followed.
"Brother, look, I found a lot of beautiful shells." Sun Yuanyuan held up her small bamboo basket for Sun Dahai to see.
Sure enough, the bamboo basket contained many beautiful shells and several small conches.
The other children also gained a lot and were very happy.
"Brother, what is this? It's so ugly. Is it a stone?" Sun Yuanyuan looked at the oysters in her brother's basket and felt a little disgusted.
"These are called oysters. They don't look good on the outside, but they taste very delicious. I'll make you a seafood chowder tonight and you'll know."
"Brother Dahai, do you think you have dug enough? Xia Yuanyuan has a lot there." Shen Yiyi ran over and filled her basket with a lot of razor clams and clams.
"Okay, let's go if you don't want to dig it up. These are enough for now." Sun Dahai didn't plan to use these things to cook. He only wanted to make a chowder. The existing seafood was more than enough.
"Okay, have you had enough fun? We are ready to go back. Everyone, please change out of your wet clothes and take a shower to avoid catching a cold."
After the trip to the sea was over, Sun Dahai took the seafood to Restaurant No. 2, put them into several large basins by category, and added salt to the water to let the seafood spit out sand and dirt.
After doing this, Sun Dahai took his younger brothers and sisters back to his residence, took a bath, ate, and slept.
…
The old chief attended a meeting in the morning. He took care of his work after a lunch break, and did not finish processing today's important documents until almost dusk. He was sitting on the terrace, and the health doctor was giving him a massage to relax him.
"I remember there is something I haven't done today, right?" the old chief asked the secretary.
The secretary smiled and said: "You promised those children yesterday to try new dishes."
"Yes, that's the thing." The old chief said enthusiastically: "That Sun Dahai also said that he would make Tianfu-style dishes. Do you think he is bragging, or is he really good at it?"
The secretary said: "You should be at a good level, otherwise he wouldn't dare invite you to try it."
"We'll go when the massage is done. Where is he now?"
"Two hours ago, he had arrived at Restaurant No. 2 and started making preparations. Chef Dan was personally watching over there. By the way, they had been out to sea for several mornings and found some oysters and other seafood. Sun Dahai said he wanted Make a seafood soup."
The secretary did a solid job.
"Taizu said, 'You can have enough food and clothing by doing it yourself'. These children are quite interesting. When will dinner be served over there? Let's not be late. A group of little guys are growing and it is not good to wait for us hungry."
…
When the old chief walked into Restaurant No. 2, the staff was serving dishes. Today it is still a Chinese buffet.
Sun Dahai was busy in the kitchen. Grandpa Dan prepared a few seabass for him, each weighing about four or five kilograms, which is not too small.
The fish was just caught in the morning and was very fresh. Sun Dahai looked at the fish still jumping alive in the big bucket and thought about what to do.
You must have boiled fish, and there is pickled fish. Sun Dahai tasted the Tianfu pickled cabbage provided by Grandpa Dan, and it tasted very pure. The pickled fish made in this way will definitely taste good.
What else to do? Sun Dahai pondered for a while and realized that tomato fish is not available yet. This method is rich in nutrients and good for the elderly and children. So let’s make it.
The old chief has been to Gaul, so let’s make another Western dish, pan-fried seabass with lemon butter. It doesn’t matter if it’s new or not, as long as everyone has a try, it will be real.
After the recipe was finalized, Sun Dahai told Grandpa Dan. Grandpa Dan was very interested. He asked the people in the kitchen to help kill the fish. He found a chair and sat in the kitchen, watching Sun Dahai making new dishes and communicating with him.
stand up.
…
The dishes were put out, and Sun Dahai washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen with Grandpa Dan. When he saw that Taizong had arrived, he ran over quickly.
"Dahai, which dish did you cook? Please introduce it to me."
"Okay, Grandpa Deng."
Sun Dahai led the way to the public table where the dishes were placed. The children also followed the old leader and went there together.
"You see, this dish is tomato fish, which is sour and salty."
"This dish is a Western-style dish, pan-fried seabass with lemon butter. It's just that the kitchen lacks some spices and sauces used in Western food, so I had to use our Chinese food instead. This dish can be regarded as a combination of Chinese and Western dishes."
"This dish is boiled fish, and the dish next to it is pickled fish. These two dishes are what I call Tianfu-style dishes.
The boiled fish is spicy, and the pickled fish uses the Tianfu pickled cabbage given by Grandpa Dan. It is very authentic, so you should try it."
Sun Dahai introduced at the front, the secretary took a plate and put a small piece of each kind for the old man.
"You have cooked so much. I thought you only cooked one dish. These look good, I am really lucky today."
"Grandpa Deng, let's see what you said. If you want to eat, you can't eat any of the dishes. I'm just messing with my class today, and I'm really embarrassing myself in front of Grandpa Dan."
The old man returned to his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
"Not bad, these two dishes really taste like Tianfu cuisine. Xiaodan, I have never tasted these two dishes before."
Grandpa Dan could only be regarded as a little Dan in front of the old chief. He replied: "Chief, this should be considered a new dish. Dahai's method is very simple, but the idea is very clever."
The old man turned to look at Sun Dahe, nodded to him and said, "Well, the sea is pretty good."
Sun Dahai was very happy. This was the old chief's praise for him. Unfortunately, he couldn't take a photo to keep it as a souvenir.
After dinner, the old chief took a walk on the beach. He remembered yesterday's topic and asked Sun Dahai to walk with him and talk about his views on Xiangjiang.
Sun Dahai thought for a while and said: "The impression given to me in Xiangjiang is that the pace of life is fast. People in Xiangjiang are very realistic and never shy away from liking money. They work just to make money, and they work very hard and hard every day."
The economy there is very developed and there are many jobs. As long as you want to work, there will be a job suitable for you, whether it is a long-term job, a short-term job, or an hourly job.
The cost of living in Xiangjiang is very high, and the price of housing is high. Most people cannot afford to buy a house. However, Xiangjiang has a public rental housing system. The middle class rents housing, and people with low incomes will apply for public rental housing from the government.
Xiangjiang is small and the cost of land is high. Many factories have moved to the special zone. There are also some people who are worried about the future of Xiangjiang and are afraid that if we take back Xiangjiang, it will be detrimental to them. They are now transferring assets abroad to leave a way out for themselves.
"
Sun Dahai didn't dare to stand out in front of the old leader, so he deliberately talked a lot in a mess. When he talked about this topic, it was obvious that the old leader attached great importance to it.
