1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 251 Charcoal Grilled Snails

 Due to the addition of brother-in-law Chen Dongqing, the seafood Li Duoyu cooked before was simply not enough to eat.

Chen Dongqing, who was also not full, couldn't help but ask: "Would you like some more?"

The tide is about to rise, and Li Duoyu doesn’t want to go hungry to pull the net. A thousand-meter deep, sticky net is not that easy to pull.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while and planned to go to the nearby oyster field to get a dozen oysters to fill his stomach.

 I didn’t expect that the ship had just sailed out.

Not far away, he saw two brothers rowing together. Just by looking at their backs, Li Duoyu could guess who they were.

Li Duoyu waved to them: "Zhao Dahai, did you two go fishing again?"

“Brother Yu, do you have anything to do with us?”

 “Come over here and let me see what good things you have caught.”

The Zhao brothers hesitated for a few seconds, and then came over with the boat.

 “Wait a minute, we’ll be right over.”

Li Duoyu discovered that the two brothers had upgraded their equipment. There were actually more than ten ground cages on the boat, and the fish catch on this trip seemed good.

 Caught two full baskets of seafood.

There were half a basket of orchid crabs alone, thirty or forty of them, as well as half a basin of shrimps and a lot of clams.

There are flower beetles, hairy clams, and blue moths. What attracts Li Duoyu the most are the three eye-catching large rattle snails.

 After seeing this thing, Li Duoyu's eyes lit up instantly. The big snail is a deep-sea snail with some small hairs on its body. Under normal circumstances, it can only be caught by trawling.

 It’s a rare thing!

This type of large snail is the ceiling of the conch world. The overall length of these large snails in front of me is a full twenty centimeters. It would take at least ten years to grow to such a big size. I don’t know where these two brothers got it.

 If I remember correctly.

In the previous life, the asking price for a kilogram of such a big rattle snail was at least five hundred yuan, and it could go up to thousands during holidays.

Seeing that the two brothers had gotten so many good goods, Li Duoyu frowned and asked, "Did you guys go to Dongjia Reef again?"

The Zhao brothers were like children who made mistakes, hesitating and hesitating: "Brother Yu, we didn't go up this time, we just put down a cage in the nearby sea."

“That’s okay, but you must also pay attention to safety. There are many reefs over there, so be careful.”

 “I know, we will be careful.”

Li Duoyu looked at the catch of the two brothers and ordered ten orchid crabs, two kilograms of large shrimps and nine-segmented shrimps, and also bought all the large rattle snails.

 “Calculate, how much does this cost in total?”

Zhao Dahai scratched his head: "Brother Yu, no money is needed. You saved our two brothers last time, and we haven't thanked you yet."

Li Duoyu frowned and said:

　　“One code equals one code. This can’t be done without charging money. It’s as if I’m taking advantage of you.”

 Zhao Dahai thought for a while.

“Well, if you add up the total, just give us five yuan.”

Li Duoyu knew that Zhao Dahai must be cheap. Even in this day and age, large snails are a hot commodity, and many restaurants and hotels are rushing to get them.

Li Duoyu made a simple calculation, took Zhang Datuan out, and handed it to Zhao Dahai.

 “Brother Yu, you don’t need so much money.”

 Zhao Dahai was a little embarrassed.

Li Duoyu said slightly angrily: "I am also a fisherman. If you think I don't understand, just take it quickly. By then, you two brothers will go around saying bad things about me."

"How is it possible? We praise you every time we meet." Zhao Dahai did not continue to hesitate and accepted the big unity card.

Li Duoyu suddenly remembered something and warned: "By the way, it seems that you two brothers haven't signed up for night school yet. Go report quickly in the next two days and support my work. Don't let the two of you be the only ones left in our village by then." Big illiteracy.”

Zhao Dahai smiled naively: "We two brothers will sign up as soon as we get back."

“Sign up early, otherwise you might be assigned to a class with all **** men.”

Zhao Erniu blinked: "Brother Yu, are there many women signing up?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Yes, quite a few, many of them are still single, including Xiao Min from Lao Yu's family, Yanhua, and Yuzhu."

Zhao Erniu, who looked a little tired, immediately became energetic after hearing the names of these girls: "Brother Yu, Xiao Min is also going."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

“Yes, I am still the literary and art committee member of this literacy class. Maybe I will dance for everyone when the time comes.”

Zhao Erniu smiled and said, “Then I have to sign up.”

 “I’ll sign up too.” Zhao Dahai said with a smile.

"Brother, Xiao Min, please don't compete with me. I have liked her for a long time." "As long as you like her, I will like her too, okay."

 “If you keep robbing me, I’ll break up with you.”

 “Divide it.”

Seeing the two brothers bickering over chasing women, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile. In fact, he admired these two brothers, but their financial fortune seemed to be a little worse.

Every time they made some money, something was bound to happen. If they had not been jailed last time, the money their family had accumulated over the years might have been able to buy a better diesel-powered boat and build a decent house.

 What puzzles Li Duoyu is that since he returned to China in his previous life, he has neither seen these two people nor heard any news about them.

I saw Li Duoyu coming back with a lot of seafood.

 Chen Dongqing's eyes lit up instantly after showing off the gun barrel squid, especially when he saw those big snails, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Where did you get so many good things? Before the fire is out, treat your uncle to a good meal."

Li Duoyu looked at this uncle with disgust who not only drank his father's green and red wine, but also robbed him of seafood.

 “Without your share, I will eat all this myself.”

 Chen Dongqing burped: "Why are you like this? I have promised to help you write a report. Can you not pick it like Grandet?"

 “Grandet?”

Chen Dongqing, who was a little tipsy, laughed and said: "Don't you understand? You are just a seafood business. You really know nothing about culture. Grandet is a stingy foreigner."

Seeing that his uncle was chatting away after drinking some wine, Li Duoyu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

 He added a small amount of fresh water to the pot, took out a few orchid crabs, quickly ended their lives with a knife, and boiled them directly in the pot.

 Cook until the crabs are completely red.

 Add in some large clams and nine-section shrimps and cook them together, making a whole pot of seafood dinner.

This time Li Duoyu bought three large snails from the Zhao brothers, but Li Duoyu only took out two, intending to make the most classic charcoal-grilled snails.

 This is a very famous Teochew dish, and was even said by a Hong Kong Island gourmet that it is a dish that must be eaten before death.

 Because it is expensive, making this dish is quite complicated, but due to limited conditions, Li Duoyu made it simply.

In the previous life, they used Maotai to soak the snails. Here, Li Duoyu directly uses green and red wine and pours it into the snails to remove the fishy smell of the snail meat.

 Put it on the charcoal fire and roast it slowly.

 Following that, Li Duoyu cut some **** and minced garlic, placed them on the screw mouth, and scooped out a spoonful of lard.

 More than twenty minutes later, a delicious charcoal-grilled snail was ready.

Even people at the beach seldom eat this kind of large snails, and most of them are reluctant to eat them. If they are caught, they will usually sell them for money.

This time he and his uncle Chen Dongqing were extravagant. They had two orchid crabs each, a large rattle snail, and a large handful of shrimps, paired with 1982 green and red wine.

Although it was a bit cold outside, the charcoal in the stove in the room was burning brightly. After drinking a few glasses of green and red wine, the two took off their coats.

Two hundred and fifty also ran to the stove and squatted to keep warm.

The uncle, who talked a lot of nonsense when drinking, talked about some old things in the same old way, saying that he was tired and wanted to crawl into bed to sleep.

Li Duoyu said casually: "There are many fleas on the bed. If you are not afraid of being bitten, just lie down."

 Heard fleas.

 Chen Dongqing was instantly furious.

He is not afraid of fleas. What he is afraid of is bringing fleas home. When the time comes, his wife will probably beat him to death.

 “Forget it, I’m going back.”

Li Duoyu saw that he was still a little drunk, so he said, "Don't worry, I just put a lot of nets, do you want to go catch fish together?"

"Okay, but I agreed in advance that if I catch any good ones, I'll give you a few. I haven't done much these days, and your aunt is a little angry."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "That's why my aunt was angry because you didn't pay the public food."

Chen Dongqing smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible? I turn it in on time every month, okay?"

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder my aunt has an opinion. At the age of less than thirty, you should go to the hospital for a good check-up once a month to see if there is anything wrong with that thing.”

 “Damn, you’re so awesome.”

"Of course I'm better than you. As long as I want, I can come four times a week, for two hours each time, without any rest in between."

 “It’s not illegal to brag, isn’t it?”
