Golden Fishery

After tidying up his daughter, Qin Shiou sat on the sofa and shook his head, raising a child is really difficult, it's really hard for Wei Ni.

Qin's mother made breakfast and asked him to go over to eat. After seeing the pot of yellow and orange porridge and fried sausages, Qin Shiou's stomach and throat, which had just calmed down for a while, rebelled again, and he almost spit it on the table.

Which pot is not open and which pot is to be carried. When taking the fishermen out to sea in the morning, Shaq asked with a playful smile: "How did you eat for breakfast? Changing my daughter's diaper early in the morning must be very appetizing?"

"Fake squid!" Qin Shiou raised his middle finger, "Damn it, how did you know? Did Shirley tweet the damn thing again?"

The smoking gun shook his head, and Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not just Twitter, it's a dead girl with a conscience."

Smoker said: "No, Captain, I shook my head to mean: she not only tweeted, but also Facebook, and msn, in short," he continued to shake his head, "every channel you can know, she posted !"

"Fake!" Qin Shiou couldn't help cursing.

The bull comforted him and said, "It's okay, captain, it's nothing to be disgusted to change a child's diaper. Every time I change my son's diaper, it's also disgusting. This is normal."

Looking at the constipated expression on Bull's facebook, Qin Shiou felt a little better, especially when he thought that Bull's son could eat so well and he must also be able to pull well, he felt even better.

He figured he had something in common with the bulls, and the other fishermen were assholes, so he asked, "Dude, what's the brand of diapers your son is using, and how are they?"

The bull said, "It's Mommy Baby, but it might not be suitable for you, because there are two children on the diaper, haha."

"Fake squid!" Qin Shiou gave the bull a thumbs up.

After the heavy rain stopped, the Daqin Fishery still had to send fish fry out, and someone also sent him fry. This time, a fishery in the Gulf of St. Lawrence sent a batch of oysters, and Qin Shiou went to receive them. shrimp.

Qin Shiou looked at it and saw that it was a very fresh half-cooked shrimp. They are small in size, but the quality is good. The skin of the shrimp is shiny, the body of the shrimp is plump, and the meat is obviously plump.

"Is this arctic shrimp? It looks good. My fishing ground also has them." Qin Shiou laughed.

The owner of the fishery hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, this is American cold-water shrimp, or American sweet shrimp. It tastes very good. I suggest you try it. My fishery raises this kind of shrimp. If you are interested, we can continue to cooperate .”

Cold water shrimp can be eaten raw directly,

These prawns are already half-cooked and can be eaten directly.

Enthusiasm was hard to quench, so Qin Shiou took one and ate it. The shrimp skin was relatively soft, with a lot of shrimp meat, and it also contained plump shrimp roe, which tasted a bit sweet. Really good.

But farming this kind of shrimp, like farming arctic shrimp, is more about making bottom food for fish farms, rather than catching and selling them.

Of course, there are many places in North America that are rich in this kind of shrimp. For example, the waters of Washington State, Oregon and Northern California on the west coast of the United States can catch tens of thousands of tons from April to October every year, which is also a fortune.

Qin Shiou is not interested. He already has arctic shrimp in his fishing ground. American sweet shrimp is actually the North Atlantic version of arctic shrimp. It's just that they live in the North Pacific Ocean.

Like arctic shrimp, this kind of shrimp does not grow very big, and an adult shrimp only weighs three to four grams, and you can buy hundreds of them per pound. The economic value is relatively small, and if it is caught and sold, it is mostly used as cat and dog food or feed for farms and fisheries.

Moreover, cold-water shrimp grows very slowly, and it takes four years to reach the fishing standard. Why do you breed them like this?

But what is interesting is that the growth cycle of this kind of shrimp is very strange. They start out as males and gradually evolve into females before finally laying eggs that hatch.

Qin Shiou thanked the fisherman for his kindness, but in the end he didn't order cold-water shrimp seedlings. With that money, it's better to buy arctic shrimp, which are cheaper, and Bill has a lot of them.

After the fisherman left, the bucket of sweet shrimp remained.

The sweet shrimp is too small, there is no good way to eat it. It is not suitable to eat it fried or boiled.

Qin Shiou asked the fishermen if they wanted anything, and said that this was the welfare of the fishing ground. As a result, a group of fishermen were very cunning, saying that if they wanted to eat shrimp, they would go to catch lobster. Who would eat this kind of small shrimp?

Smoker saw him distressed, and said: "Or you can make shrimp paste. When I was working in a fishery, he used to catch sweet shrimps to make shrimp paste, and then sold them to Chinese. I remember you Chinese like to eat them very much. Shrimp paste, isn't it?"

Qin Shiou nodded after hearing what the smoke gun said, thinking that this is a good way.

When Qin Shiou was in his hometown, he often ate this stuff. For his family when he was a child, there were only two kinds of seafood, one was kelp, and the other was shrimp paste...

Shrimp paste is a stored fermented food. During storage, the protein will be decomposed into amino acids. It has a unique flavor. It can be eaten directly or used as a seasoning.

In addition, the nutritional value of this stuff is also quite high. The calcium contained in the shrimp will be decomposed into calcium that is easily absorbed by the human body, and the fat will be converted into fatty acids. Therefore, shrimp paste can supplement protein, calcium and fatty acids for the human body at the same time.

When he thought of it, he did it, and when he came back from the sea, he happened to have nothing to do, so Qin Shiou returned to the villa with a bucket of sweet shrimp, found a clean jar that was vacated after making salted duck eggs, and started cooking.

This is not difficult to do. He washed the sweet shrimps and put them in an iron basin, and then sprinkled salt into them.

Sweet shrimp is rich in protein and fat, which is prone to bacteria and spoilage, so a lot of salt must be added, which is about one-fifth of the weight of the shrimp.

After mixing evenly, Qin Shiou called the equally boring Iwosen over and asked him to smash the sweet shrimp with a mallet.

After it was completely sticky, Qin Shiou added a lot of fried peanuts, fennel, peppercorns, cinnamon, soy sauce and sesame oil to it, and asked Iwosen to continue pounding.

After it was thoroughly smashed into a very sticky sauce, it was almost the same. Qin Shiou put the shrimp paste into a jar, sealed it with plastic wrap, put it outside the house, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you can eat it after a while."

Iverson wiped his mouth and said, "It's not tasty, it's really salty!"

Qin Shiou laughed. No matter what this guy does, he will taste it in advance. It is very difficult to say 'not delicious' from his mouth.

In the past, Qin Shiou thought that for Iwosen, there were only two types of food that he could eat and those that could not. It turned out that there were things he didn't like to eat.

But Qin Shiou was not convinced by this, he said: "This is not eaten directly, it is used for cooking, wait for Iverson, I will use it to make schnitzel, the taste is very good."

After hearing what he said, Iverson looked at the jar expectantly and said, "Then can I eat tonight?"

"No." Qin Shiou said with a smile, "This needs to be fermented."

"Can I eat tomorrow?"

"No, it will take more than ten days."

Iverson sighed in disappointment, and asked, "Then what will we eat tonight?" (To be continued.)
