Golden Fishing Village
Chapter 20 20. Golden Eel
Taking a breath of cold air, Ao Muyang thought of the changes in the general who had just absorbed the water vapor of the golden elixir. These lobsters had changed so much!
This is not good! It wouldn't be nice to have someone discover your lobster's weirdness!
The decrease in the number of lobsters does not mean that they simply disappear, but that they fight and kill each other. Once a lobster has its big claws ripped off, it will be cut into pieces and eaten by other lobsters!
There are still remaining lobster carcasses in the fish pond, and a large lobster has a piece of tail meat in its mouth and is slowly chewing it.
This discovery made Ao Muyang's scalp numb. How could this happen?
There are partitions beside the pond, which are small doors made of bamboo. The pond can be divided into several pieces to raise different fish and shrimps.
He first separated the lobsters with partitions. As soon as he finished handling them, Ao Xiaoniu came back.
The boy had served lobster yesterday. If he saw it, he would definitely notice something strange.
So Ao Muyang stopped him and said, "Xiao Niu, what are you carrying in your hand?"
Ao Xiaoniu chuckled and said, "I caught a lot of small fish and shrimp today, enough to eat big lobsters for several days."
Ao Muyang took it and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself. That uncle will arrange something for you. I'm going to treat you tonight. You go back and find your mother to come over and help you. Let's eat well tonight."
Ao Xiaoniu's young mind immediately ran out excitedly.
The general squatted by the lobster pond and licked his mouth with saliva. Ao Muyang went over to drive it away. The lobsters were not killing and devouring each other because of hunger. They were competing for the golden elixir water vapor in each other's bodies.
Similarly, it is not the lobsters that the general covets, but the golden elixir water vapor in their bodies.
Ao Muyang noticed that there were less lobsters in the early morning, but he didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that the general had eaten them secretly. Looking at it now, it was obvious that he had misunderstood the general.
The lobsters were valuable and he couldn't feed the general, so he pushed them out.
The general wagged his tail and saw several dogs running towards the mountains, so he chased them to play.
Ao Muyang put the shrimps into the pond, and the lobsters ate them again. He poured a bag of small fish and shrimps into the pond, and then covered the fish pond to prevent others from discovering the strangeness.
He tidied up the kitchen and prepared seasonings, onions, ginger and garlic for cooking.
Ao Fugui was the first to enter. He was holding a beer in his left hand and a woven bag in his right hand and asked, "Yangzi, are you having a drink tonight?"
Ao Muyang said: "Yes, what did you take?"
Ao Fugui chuckled and said, "Good stuff!"
He opened the woven bag and found some eels inside. These eels were golden in appearance and long and thick. They were twisting and sliding inside with great energy.
Ao Muyang became interested: "Did it come from Ambergris Lake?"
"Where else?" Ao Fugui said, "I have nothing to do today, so I went there to dig for a day. Well, I dug so much, it's just right for drinking."
The origin of the name Ambergris Lake is not only a legend, but also because it is indeed rich in products. The fish, shrimps and crabs produced in the lake are particularly delicious, as if they have been raised by the dragon's fairy water.
This kind of eel is one of the delicacies produced in the lake. It is called golden eel. It has only one three-sided thorn in its body. It has few thorns and thick flesh, tender and delicious meat, and has great nutritional value!
Among them, the greatest nutritional value is to replenish blood, replenish qi, reduce inflammation, disinfection, as well as aphrodisiac and remove rheumatism, the latter two are particularly miraculous.
Which person living by the sea, especially the elderly, is not tortured by rheumatism? The elderly people in Longtou Village are in good health and rarely suffer from rheumatism. This is because they often eat golden eels.
In addition, among the catches that Longtou Village and Wangjia Village compete for, golden eel is one of the most important species. This fish is famous in Hongyang City, and many rich men are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Of course, they are definitely not eating golden eel for its rheumatism-removing effect.
There is also a local saying about golden eel, which is called June beauty, eel fatness, men laugh, women scream...
Because of the taste and medicinal effect of golden eel, it is even said that this golden eel was collected as a tribute by the court during a certain period of the Qing Dynasty.
Ao Fugui caught more than 20 eels, some were more than half a meter long, and the smallest ones were less than 20 centimeters, like chopsticks.
There are a lot of them, but the weight is not big. Ao Muyang said: "Why did you catch the cubs too? Are you trying to wipe out the golden eels?"
Ao Fugui said: "If I don't fish for those dogs in Wangjia Village, they will fish for them. They dug almost all around Ambergris Lake, and they didn't let go of the big ones or the small ones."
Ao Muyang shook his head. He picked a dozen golden eels that had not grown enough, and then raised them in a water tank.
Golden eels are easy to raise. If you put soil in the water tank, pour lake water, and add some small fish and shrimps for food, they can live for many years.
These eels are the main dish. They can be served as the main dish even in big hotels in Hongyang City and are very popular.
After bleeding and shaving the internal organs, he divided the eel into two parts, one to make eel soup and the other to make eel segments. This is the most common method.
He made soup from the free-range chicken brought by Ao Mufeng, and there was still some clear soup left to drink. He just added water to cook the eel, and then added a few wolfberries to it, ensuring that the soup would make the man drink twice as much. Cool.
The eel swimming section is a test of kung fu, but it is a piece of cake for Ao Muyang.
When Ao Xiaoniu and her son arrived, Ao Muyang turned around and said while cutting green peppers: "Sister-in-law Qiu Min, there are ribs in the refrigerator. You can make braised pork ribs. There are a lot of vegetables in it. You can decide how many."
He turned his head to speak, not looking at the cutting board, but the kitchen knife seemed to have eyes, chopping on the cutting board, cutting the green pepper into even slices.
Ao Xiaoniu looked at it and exclaimed: "Uncle Yang, your sword skills are amazing!"
The fishermen don't have to pay much attention to the big drinks, as long as they have enough food to eat and enough wine to drink.
There was still fish jelly in the refrigerator, Ao Muyang took it all out and cut it into slices. Song Qiumin brought some wild vegetables, he opened it and smiled: "Good stuff, evergreen."
Evergreen is an ornamental herb. The 'evergreen' in Longtou Village refers to another plant, which is wild winter rapeseed.
Winter rapeseed remains green after winter, so they are called 'evergreen' and 'evergreen' in the local dialect. The wild vegetable is the heart of winter rapeseed, which is the tenderest part. Pick it in spring and stew it. It is delicious when it is cold.
Ao Muyang did it himself. He rolled some peanuts and smashed them with a knife, mixed them with ham and evergreen.
Evergreen has been salted when it was stewed, so there is no need to add salt. Just mix it with some light soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar. If you like spicy food, you can dip it in chili powder, which tastes more stimulating. This is definitely a good dish to go with wine.
As night fell, Ao Mupeng, Ao Qianqi and other people on the boat arrived one after another.
Ao Fugui set up a table under the Wanxiang tree, and Ao Mufeng brought a bucket of herbal tea. They drank the sweet herbal tea together.
Ao Muyang drank a bowl and said, "Well, it's good. You can add some mint and less rock sugar to it. It will taste better and have a better effect in removing heat."
Ao Mufeng laughed and said, "Wow, you really know a lot."
The general came in from the door with blood dripping from his mouth. Ao Muyang thought it had fought and hurried over to check.
When he arrived at the door, the general ran out again, and then picked up a hare with a broken neck from outside and quietly put it in his hand.
Ao Fugui, who walked to the door, laughed and said, "Fuck, Yangzi, your general has become a spirit!"
