I Had a Home In 1982 Chapter 87

  Chapter 87

  Afternoon things are done in the afternoon, now the most important thing is to prepare a lunch.

  The fishermen who have spent the morning in the sea are already hungry, and they urgently need a hot and fragrant lunch to fill their empty stomachs.

   Wang Yi asked, "Brother Mei, what are we doing at noon?"

  Wang Dongmei said with a smile: "Boil a corn batter and add sweet potato cubes. I'll post the pancakes now, and then stir-fry shredded radish with shrimp paste and serve with stewed mackerel."

He thought about it and stood up and looked at the reef above the water in Laolong Bay: "These things probably won't be in your eyes, Mr. Wang. I heard boldly that you like to eat small seafood? Last time you ate sea melon seeds at his house. full of praise?"

  Wang Yi said: "Hey, don't listen to his nonsense, I can eat anything."

Wang Dongmei said: "That's good, I originally wanted to say that if you are willing to eat small seafood, I will send you to the reefs of Laolong Bay. There are a lot of small seafood here, and we can just look for it and you will have a meal. If you If you can eat anything..."

   "Brother Damei, then you should send me up." Wang Yi smirked, "Also, you can make porridge, don't post the pancakes."

  If there is a choice, I would like to have a good meal.

  Wang Dongmei said: "Why don't you eat cakes - oh, you won't bring any good food with you?"

  Wang Yi's reputation for eating and drinking has spread throughout the team.

   The whole team wanted to eat and drink with him...

   Wang Yi nodded, and Wang Dongmei happily put down the bag of cornmeal in her hand.

   He propped up the raft and took Wang Yi to the reef.

  The reefs emerging from Laolong Bay are continuous, ups and downs, and there are puddles in them. This thing is the favorite of fishermen because it seeps fresh water.

  Even if Wang Yi didn't ask Wang Dongmei to go to Laolongwan Reef, he had to come to get fresh water.

   The two of them carried buckets and net pockets on the reef, and Lao Huang took the lead to find the way for him.

   All kinds of shellfish are most treasured on the rugged reefs.

  Wang Dongmei said: "I'll make you a soup at noon, the fresh one will make you swallow your tongue! Come and find a touch with me!"

  Touch is what the locals call barnacles. This is a very unsightly small shellfish. Wang Yi has long heard of its deliciousness, but he has never been able to see it.

  Barnacles like to live near the intertidal zone of the seaside reefs, and they like to live in gatherings. They have no predation ability and need the waves to send tiny creatures in the seawater, so the place where they live must have strong wind and waves.

  Laolong Bay is isolated on the sea and the terrain is complicated. Every day, the waves roar like a thousand horses, hitting the upper reefs and shaking, providing abundant food for the barnacles.

  The men on Tianya Island knew Laolong Bay like the back of their hands. Wang Dongmei led the way and quickly found two separate reefs.

  There are countless small gray-white volcanoes growing between these two reefs, shaped like cones, they are densely attached to the reefs, let you wind and waves, I will stand still!

  The living area of ​​barnacles is a torment for patients with intensive phobia. Fortunately, Wang Yi does not have this problem. He only feels happy when he sees many barnacles growing densely.

  Wang Dongmei told him: "Mr. Wang, pay attention to your steps, you must be careful, if you are hit by the wind and waves here, you will suffer!"

  He brought a small axe and started to fetch the barnacles against the reef.

  Wang Yi followed carefully next to him. He looked down and saw a rush of water.

  The gap between the two reefs is narrow, and the tide rushes in, swaying left and right, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, with all kinds of evil!

  The tide receded, and conch shells appeared on the reef.

   is also tapered, but flat and round, with longitudinal threads on the taupe shell.

   Wang Yi guessed: "Brother Damei, is this a horseshoe snail below?"

Wang Dongmei looked down and said, "Yes, horseshoe snails, these things are hard to find. They usually live on the reefs in the sea, and they will only be exposed when the tide is low. The tides in this place always rise and fall, revealing them. Here, you wait, I'll pick it up."

   Wang Yi said: "Don't, it's too dangerous."

  Old Huang, who was standing beside him, watched them pointing at the snails, and suddenly dexterously jumped off the reef and ran up with the snails in his mouth.

  Wang Yi was happy when he saw it, and hurriedly rubbed the dog's head: "I really didn't raise you for nothing, I know how to find something to eat for me!"

Wang Dongmei looked at Lao Huang carefully and said, "Mr. Wang, your dog is really human. It must not be a stray dog, but a water hound that has been trained by someone. That's why he came back with a conch. If my guess is correct, it will probably help you. You are carrying the net bag and pulling the fishing net!"

  Wang Yi recalled: "Yes, when I first saw it, it came to me with a net bag full of seafood."

  Wang Dongmei said: "That's right, this is a water hound that was trained, and I don't know how to get away."

  Old Huang continued to bounce on the reef, picking up the exposed horseshoe snails one by one.

  Wang Yi was a little worried at first.

   The waves here are a bit ferocious.

   As a result, Lao Huang is very discerning. He reacts quickly and moves quickly. Every time he watches the waves fall, he grabs a horseshoe snail and runs up before the waves charge.

  Wang Dongmei quickly smashed down a pile of barnacles and said, "Let's get these first, this thing is used for soup, there is no need to get too much."

   "Let's go, let's go find the yellow snail, now is a good time to eat the yellow snail."

   "On March 3rd, Huangluo climbed to the beach?" Wang Yi said a local saying, which he heard from the students when he was leading the students to fish for seaweed.

  Wang Dongmei said with a smile: "Yes, yellow snails are fat and common now. If you find more, I will go back and make snail sauce for you, it will be fresh."

   They walked on the reef for a while, Lao Huang knew he needed shellfish and began to show his skills, and soon it came running with a broken fishing net.

  This fishing net is messed up, and some black shells have grown on it.

   Wang Yi smiled and said, "Old Huang found some mussels."

  Mussels are mussels, also called Haihong and Mussels in some places, with many names.

  Wang Dongmei said: "This is not mussels, this is Mao Niang, which is much more precious than mussels."

   "I see they look the same." Wang Yi picked up the fishing net and looked at it, and there were clearly mussels on it.

  Wang Dongmei said: "They look almost the same, but they are actually the same thing, but the mussels are all farmed, they are big, and Mao Niang is wild, small and small, but the umami is much stronger and rare."

   "Old Huang is very powerful. This is the first time I have seen Mao Niang this year."

  Wang Yi gave Lao Huang a dog head and decided to go back and get him some rewards, such as a Momoda.

   Yellow snails are beautiful, delicious, and rich in nutrients, but they are not easy to find. They are usually hidden in the sand and only come out to move when the tide is high and low.

   Fortunately, the yellow snail is the most active season of the year. Wang Dongmei led Wang Yi to look for it along the reef, and found some intermittently.

  Wang Yi lowered his head to look carefully, saw several shellfish of different sizes attached to the reef, and said, "Brother Mei, there are some seashells here, can you eat them?"

  Wang Dongmei looked at it and said, "It's edible, and it's delicious, it's a small abalone!"

   Wang Yi said: "Little abalone? It's not like abalone, right?"

   These seashells are really small, about the size of his thumb, and they bear a blue-gray shell, completely different from the colorful shell of abalone.

  Wang Dongmei explained: "Little abalone is its nickname. It's called a rouge cup, and it seems to be called a limpet? Do you think it looks like it has a shell cap on the snail?"

"We won't do this, we can't do it, don't look at their size, but they have a very strong adsorption force, so they are called small abalone. If there is no iron chisel, we can't get it off at all, don't waste that time, I will bring it when I have the time. You look for bergamot."

  The name of the bergamot comes from the fact that they look like a bergamot.

  Wang Yi couldn't see it at all, this thing looks so ugly, it's more like a ghost hand.

   The two tossed for a while to get some seashells, and then someone was already swimming back to the boat holding the gourd.

  Wang Dongmei said: "Let's go, fetch water and go back, these are almost enough, enough for you to eat."

   "You don't eat?" Wang Yi asked.

  Wang Dongmei's face showed a look of disgust: "I'm really scared. I eat too much of these things and my stomach will get sour water, alas, that taste is not good!"

   Seafood cannot be eaten as rice!

   They each took half a bucket of water to prop up the raft back, and took everyone who floated on the boat along the way.

   The sun is shining brightly at noon, so the recovery is much faster after getting out of the water.

  Wang Yi washed the seashells with a bucket of water.

   It is not easy to eat seafood at the beach. With a sea wolf like Wang Dongmei leading the way, the two of them and a dog have worked hard, but they have not gotten many seashells.

   As Wang Dongmei said, it is enough for him to eat.

  Wang Yi cleaned, and Wang Dongmei helped him cook by the way.

   These sea shells are easy to make, either boiled or made into soup.

   Like barnacles, it is best to knock off the shell and then use the meat to stir-fry, steam eggs, and boil soup. Just sprinkle a little salt, and nothing else is a delicious meal.

   Of course, it was not easy to knock off the shell, so Wang Dongmei made him a soup with the shell.

   At this time, two more ships approached.

   Liu Hongmei brought three groups of them to find them.

   They ate together at noon, and then took a break for au pair work. In the afternoon, three groups of people went diving for ginseng. This is why Liu Hongmei said in the morning that she would compete with Wang Yi.

  The three groups of boats are smaller than their green-browed boats, not sailboats but oars, and the bow cabins are full of fish and shrimps, covered with fishing nets.

  The two boats leaned on the big green-browed boat, and they pulled the handle boldly, and they quickly climbed up one by one.

  Liu Hongmei wiped her sweat with a towel and asked, "Bold, how much did you tie?"

   boldly sighed: "Less than a hundred."

  Liu Hongmei said arrogantly: "Then you are sure to lose today. Looking at the performance of our members, you will definitely hit a hundred."

   boldly said: "Don't be in a hurry to boast about the sea mouth, you go and try it first, there are fewer and fewer sea cucumbers here."

Wang Dongzhi of the third group said: "The grass was taken away by the people from Shuihua Island and Jinlan Island. Last year, they had an oxygen-making machine, and people could stick sea cucumbers all the time without getting up underwater, but they all stick out no matter how big or small. , put the old Longwan sea cucumber to extinction!"

   "The ones who didn't get stabbed also ran away. The smell of diesel oil here can smoke the sea cucumbers." Someone said displeased.

  Wang Yi said: "No wonder you say that there are many sea cucumbers in Laolongwan, but there are no other production teams here. It turns out that they..."

   "They left this place after harming them." Wang Dongxi took his words angrily.

  The sea breeze gradually picked up, the waves were fluttering, and the fishing boats swayed.

  The mood of everyone on the boat was low and their faces were ugly.

Wang Yi took out the bottles of meat sauce and a large bag of dry noodles prepared last night, and said, "Okay, it's time to eat and drink, don't put it to your heart when you encounter trouble. Don't be sulky, come, noon Let's eat something good!"
