536. Going out to sea to catch eels, strong wind and heavy rain (happy holidays)(1/4)
Wang Yi singled out several seafood dishes.
How can a fisherman order seafood dishes in a restaurant? Paying money for such things can make Wang Xianghai and others shed tears of distress.
Except for the seafood, the remaining dishes include meat and vegetables, which go well together.
But Wang Yi mainly eats eel rice.
Wash and soak the hard fresh eel in cold water, wait until it softens, then cut it into pieces and steam it in a pot. This method is very simple, and fishermen also do it.
But the taste is different.
Because Xinfeng eel is hard, the steaming high-temperature water vapor slowly makes the eel plump again, and also brings out the fat in the deep texture of the fish. The aroma of this dish depends on the aroma of the oil.
Therefore, the heat is very important during the steaming process, and this dish must be cooked by experienced people.
This is why the man said before that an elderly grandma is cooking in their restaurant.
But the eel rice should be served before serving.
What attracted Wang Yi was a dish of steamed eel:
Clean the fresh eels, add nothing except salt and steam them in a pan.
When the plate was brought, the eel meat on the black plate was as white and tender as tofu, and it looked very soft at first glance.
Wang Yi was so speechless that he took a piece of fish and gave it a thumbs up: "It's delicious!"
The sprinkled salt brings a simple salty taste to the steamed fish. This simple taste can just bring out the freshness and sweetness of the fish.
During the steaming process, the eel juice will seep out. Use a spoon to scoop a little into your mouth.
This is totally delicious!
When all the dishes are served, the meal begins.
The hotel's most famous eel rice.
There were many of them, so what was brought to them was a wooden bucket with a wooden lid. The waiter patted the bucket lid and said, "It's full of eel rice. Whoever wants to eat, just open the lid and scoop it out. Close the lid when you're not eating. You have to take advantage of this."
Eat it hot…”
"You don't need to tell me, we all understand." Wang Donghu waved his hand carelessly.
Others complained about Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, it's not like we can't make eel rice in our team, why do you still have to pay for this?"
"That's right, when we catch eels, we will make eel rice ourselves." Someone else said.
Wang Yi said: "Can you make eel rice with your craftsmanship? Besides, eel rice must use fish and fresh eel. How can we make eel in the sea?"
He was already hungry after a day on the boat. The steamed eel just now did not satisfy his appetite, but instead aroused his interest.
He couldn't wait to open the lid, and a burst of hot white steam came out, with the fresh taste of eel but less fishy smell.
In the white mist, the shriveled Xinfeng eel has completely transformed, becoming bright yellow in color, oily and soft, making people salivate just looking at it.
Wang Yi scooped up a bowl of eel and white rice and took a bite of the fish first.
Um.
He nodded.
The eel is steamed at just the right temperature, the fish meat is fine and distinct and the skin is elastic, giving it a good taste.
In terms of taste, it is salty at the front and sweet at the back. Wang Yi turned on the fast food and transformed into a rice cook.
This meal was very enjoyable.
Besides eating, Wang Yi also wanted to inquire about eel fishing lines.
People in the hotel had already realized that they were here to catch eels and prepare to raise eels back home.
Because Wang Yi spends a lot of money, and it takes several days to catch eels, the hotel wants to attract them as a big customer, so they talk about everything they know.
While Wang Yi was picking his teeth, he figured out the sea conditions in the surrounding sea areas.
Now is a good season for catching eel fry, but it is in the tail stage of this good season.
Every year after winter, mature brood eels will roam from the Yangtze River to the East China Sea at a depth of 400 to 500 meters to lay eggs and breed into adult eels. Then every year from late December to April of the following year is the eel seedling flood season. With the rise of eel farming, many fishermen
Nets are set up in the sea area of the Yangtze River estuary to collect fish day and night during high and low tides.
To catch eel fry, you have to use a net to catch them.
Some people use Juehu.com.
This is a lack of great virtue, and Wang Yi expressed his disdain for this.
In addition, net fishing is only the most commonly used fishing method. In fact, there are other fishing methods, such as hand net operation, board frame net operation, drag net operation, etc.
Wang Yi understood all this, and Zhou Mindong explained it clearly to them.
They brought a net, and net fishing requires setting up the net during high tide at night.
So in order to improve efficiency and seize the end of the harvest season, they have to stay up late tonight to work.
This is why Wang Yi led the members to a restaurant for dinner.
After all, people are like iron rice and steel.
This meal cost one hundred and ten yuan. Even though the production team has received a lot of dividends and the members have money in their hands, they still feel distressed.
Wang Donghu kept calculating the accounts based on the menu, which made the boss laugh: "Comrade, we are not a black shop here, how can we blackmail your money?"
Wang Donghu was embarrassed when he heard this. He is a young man after all.
Want face.
Back on the ship, the members felt bad: "Today's expenses were too high."
Wang Xianghai hates that iron cannot be made into steel: "Come on, mother, after the braised pork and stewed chicken were served just now, look at you, you are eating like a herd of pigs!"
"Uncle Hai, why don't you eat it too?" Wang Dongquan, who was sitting at the same table with him, said awkwardly.
Wang Xianghai glared at him angrily: "I'm also a pig, okay?"
Wang Dongquan shrank his neck in fright and said, "Okay, okay, Uncle Hai, don't get angry. You are a pig. You are a pig. No one can compete with you on this."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
Wang Xianghai also laughed.
Happy and angry.
Wang Yi comforted them and said: "This money is not wasted. We not only bought food, but also bought news - isn't news valuable? No, it is the most valuable!"
Wang Xianghai is the leader of the offshore operation team, but he is the leader.
In this way, he spoke and the complaints stopped.
Wang Yi waved his hand and said: "Everyone, cheer up and go to Sea Area 22 to prepare for setting up a net."
Qiantang Sea is divided into sea areas, from 01 to 88. The boss has told Wang Yi several productive sea areas for fishing eel fry, and they can let some go.
Large-scale fishing of eel fry requires a permanent net.
They rushed to Sea Area 22, an area on the edge of the coast. When they looked up, they could see houses and farmland on the shore.
At this time, there were already several fishing boats operating here, and they joined them.
To catch eel fry, the best place to set up the net is in a wider and deeper river, but it can also be done at the seaside, as long as the sea current is strong, so that the eels can enter the net with the current.
The net fell, and Wang Xianghai picked up the telescope and looked into the river.
There are boats in the river in the distance, but they are not boats setting nets to catch eels.
As he watched, he said: "Actually, the best way to catch eel fry is to block the entire river channel, so that the eel fry cannot be caught in the Yangtze River?"
This is indeed a ruthless trick, but it has little operability.
The first is that the mouth of the Yangtze River is wide and wide. No one has the ability to block it with enough nets. No one is so awesome.
The boating bosses would not allow such awesome people to exist on the Yangtze River Estuary.
After all, the Yangtze River is an important waterway for cargo shipping. Why should you set up a net to intercept the waterway?
The second is that even if someone sets up a net in the river, it may not be suitable, because there are even more people setting up nets at the mouth of the sea to grab fish fry in advance——
Eels are born in the sea and grow in rivers, and eel fry go from the sea to rivers.
Wang Xianghai understood these truths, so he just talked about them casually.
After setting up the net, all the boats they brought were put into the sea.
Fixed nets have high yields, but there are more dead seedlings, miscellaneous fish and garbage. Therefore, a little trick for catching eels is to connect a seedling collecting box to the end of the net that can float up and down with the current.
In this way, if someone fishes out the eel seedlings in time and puts them into the seedling collection box, the survival rate of the eel seedlings will be greatly improved.
Someone also needs to clean up the fish and garbage.
All in all, this life is quite tiring.
Wang Xianghai asked Wang Donghu to lead people to take charge of this matter, one person for each net, and eight people for eight nets.
Others don't have it easy.
