Golden Fishing Village

Jin Daba, who first met Ao Muyang, also came. He looked at the boxes of high-quality meat and smiled, "Oh, this is a treat. Brother Ao brought good things. We are most in need of meat on our island."

Ao Muyang discovered this when he came to Jinhou Island last time. The island is not large. Apart from the mountains and some cultivated land, there is very little place to raise livestock.

So many families live in stilt houses and high-legged bamboo houses, and then enclose the first floor to raise chickens, ducks and pigs.

Jinhou Island is close to the tropics. The temperature on the island is high, and the water vapor is high, so it is very humid. Chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep eat, drink and defecate on the ground floor, making the whole building smelly.

There are many fruits in tropical areas. Their mountains and forests have been transformed and planted with fruit trees, so there is no shortage of fruits in the village.

Just like last time after fishing out the crab cage, Lin Rongyao entertained them at his home.

Knowing that Ao Muyang and his group had many people and they had prepared a lot of fruits, Lao Ao couldn't help but shout as soon as he entered the yard: "There are so many fruits."

Banana, mango, pineapple, lychee, longan, loquat, papaya, dragon fruit, grapefruit, these fruits that can also be seen in Hongyang appeared at this time, and some are not easy to see, such as mangosteen, star fruit, jackfruit, green orange, etc.

Among them, the jackfruit was moved here as a whole, and its size is similar to the large winter melon commonly seen in Hongyang, but its shell is much rougher and has short and thick thorns.

Lin Rongyao, who was following behind, asked: "Xiao Ao, do you like to eat durian? Durian is not cheap in your Hongyang, right? We grow it here ourselves, and there is a durian king tree on the mountain. The durian grown by that guy is milky and fragrant."

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said: "That's enough, enough, there are too many fruits here, Uncle Lin, what kind of fruit is this?"

Lin Rongyao introduced him: "Look, wax apple, golden heart fruit, that is avocado, this is passion fruit, and there is ginseng fruit, but it's a pity that the fruit has just grown and is not ripe."

Ao Muyang sighed: "The fruits on the island are really rich."

"That's a must, otherwise how can we feed the golden monkey?" A big man laughed.

Jinhou Island is the fruit replenishment base of the People's Liberation Army and the Coast Guard in the South China Sea. Generally, patrol teams will stop to replenish fresh fruits when passing the island.

The old men sit in the spacious bamboo building to enjoy the sea breeze, eat fruits, and drink herbal tea, while the women and girls are busy cooking.

Lin Rongyao shouted to several daughters-in-law: "Replace the meat for dinner with what Xiao Ao brought. Don't show off our frozen meat. Xiao Ao brought fresh beef and mutton. Let's eat something fresh."

Ao Muyang said to Jin Daba: "Let's have some of the smoked rabbit meat made by Daba. It tastes really good."

"And my black-bone chicken. I just slaughtered two at noon today. Drink some soup to replenish the blood in the evening." A generous man smiled.

As they were chatting, the patrol ship of the Coast Guard Detachment docked on the island, and Tao Qinghong brought a small team of coast guards to Lin Rongyao's house.

Seeing Ao Muyang, Tao Qinghong shook hands with him enthusiastically. He also brought a military backpack with some dried sea cucumbers and abalone.

"Take these things with you when you leave." Tao Qinghong said, "I know Brother Muyang is a fisherman, so he doesn't need these, but I don't have anything else to offer."

Ao Muyang waved his hands and said, "Captain Tao, what do you mean? You're too polite. I can't accept your things."

"You have to accept it. Actually, this is my thank-you gift to you. Thank you for helping me bring something to a brother." Tao Qinghong said.

"For whom?"

"Su Jinnan." Tao Qinghong smiled, "When Lao Su and I went abroad to study, we lived in the same dormitory, and then we were connected through you. Don't you think it's fate? Haha!"

Since there was a relationship with Su Jinnan, Ao Muyang was no longer polite.

The sun set, and a layer of water mist appeared on the sea, floating and covering the Golden Monkey Island.

The lights were on in the spacious bamboo building, and several pots were started together. With the crackling collision of shovels and iron pots, the smell of meat and seafood entered everyone's nose.

Someone brought up thick bamboos, and after unscrewing the corks, green wine flowed out.

Seeing this, Ao Mudong's eyes lit up and said, "Good stuff, we have a lot of bamboo on the mountain, we have to learn how to make this bamboo wine, what is it called? Bamboo Leaf Green?"

Lin Rongyao waved his hand and smiled, "Bamboo Leaf Green is Fenjiu, which is a famous product of the ancient land of Shanxi. Ours is bamboo tube wine, which we brewed by ourselves. If you feel good, you can brew it yourself if you have bamboo at home."

His eldest son Lin Kaixuan said, "Dad, what else are you talking about? One cup each, let's drink it?"

"Yes, let's drink it." Lin Rongyao waved his hand.

Seeing that the atmosphere was going to get noisy, Lao Ao quickly said, "Don't rush to drink. Uncle Lin, please get some staple food for us brothers first. Let's eat a few bites of staple food first. We came all the way here by boat. If we drink directly, we won't be able to bear it!"

Tao Qinghong also said, "Yes, eat something first to fill your stomach. Drinking directly will hurt your stomach."

Lin Rongyao said happily, "Okay, this is easy."

His fourth son went to the kitchen and quickly brought back a plate of pineapple.

This is the pineapple rice that the island is very good at. It uses fragrant rice, with small pieces of pineapple and passion fruit juice and other fruits. Ao Muyang tasted it and the sour, sweet and salty taste made people's appetite open.

Take a second bite, and there are crispy cashews to match it. A group of people nodded repeatedly while eating.

Lin Rongyao saw that everyone was eating happily, so he smiled and said, "If you like sweets, it's easy. The coconuts on our Golden Monkey Island are a must, and the glutinous rice soaked in coconut milk is absolutely delicious."

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "No, no, we can eat later. We are just filling our stomachs now. After all, we have been floating on the sea since yesterday and haven't had any hot food."

After they shared the pineapple rice, Lin Rongyao took the lead and everyone raised their glasses.

Compared to the white wine brought by Ao Muyang, the bamboo tube wine looks better. The color of the wine is like green amber, clear, slightly yellow-green, and it tastes sweet and mild after entering the mouth. There is a light bamboo fragrance and a natural alcohol taste.

There is no shortage of seafood on Golden Monkey Island, and seafood is quick to cook. Seeing that they started drinking, Lin Rongyao's daughters-in-law began to serve dishes. Various seafood came one after another, including lobsters, shrimps, oysters, conches, scallops, round shells, octopuses, etc. Many seafoods were cooked in one pot. This is a big pot steamed seafood.

The whole big pot was brought up, and when the lid was opened, delicious juices came out with streams of white steam. That kind of pure freshness could not be tasted in the hotel.

Because of the ban on Hongyang Sea, Ao Muyang had not eaten fresh seafood just out of the sea for a while, so he was quite hungry when so many seafoods were served.

Especially the pickled conch that was served later. It was pickled with a unique sauce, sour and spicy, and very delicious!
