Chapter 625 Full Meal
There are no large beasts or insidious poisonous snakes or crocodiles. The most important thing is that the climate is mild, neither too cold nor too hot, and very comfortable. If you really have nothing to do, you can go to the beach to surf. This is why Bifang regards this live broadcast as a vacation.
He was even confident that he could live with Bao Weisi for a month without any pressure.
"In China now, there may be more snakes in cities than in the wild, because pet snakes were a symbol of social status during China's economic boom in the late 1990s, but after the recession in 2008, people in financial difficulties exiled their pet snakes."
"So if you are in the city , you may still encounter them, but in the wild, you don't need to worry about such a problem."
Bifang used a stone shovel to dig out a lot of crustaceans in the mud. He didn't know if it was because it was too close to the sea, but there were a lot of seafood in it, perhaps they flowed back into the river during high tide.
After chasing it once... ahem, we took a walk around the swamp and got a lot of rewards.
There were even seven hairy crabs, a mixture of freshwater and seafood.
Many viewers were stunned. There are actually hairy crabs in China?
The scientific name of the hairy crab is "Chinese mitten crab". Because there is fluff on its two claws, it looks like it is wearing two gloves, so it is called "Chinese Mitten Crab" in English.
You can tell from the name which specialty it is.
"This thing has become a disaster in the Thames ." Bowes smiled bitterly. The Chinese hairy crab is a typical invasive species. He didn't expect to see it in such a small river.
This thing mainly grows in the coastal estuary areas from the Korean Peninsula to China. Even the Natural History Museum in London has a reliable explanation for the hairy crab - "It originated in Asia, but the hairy crab landed on the European continent a century ago."
Bi Fang explained: "There are records of Chinese hairy crabs being found in the Thames River in 1953. It is said that they caused great trouble to the Chinese people because their ability to survive and reproduce is so strong. They said that Chinese hairy crabs not only posed a serious threat to their own crab species, but also destroyed the riverbed. Therefore, Chinese people even called Chinese hairy crabs 'Alien Crabs'."
Having said that, Bifang glanced at Baowais and asked this "local", and got a positive answer.
"But we are lucky to have some delicious food. Unfortunately, without onion, ginger, garlic and cooking wine, it might taste a bit fishy if boiled." Bifang happily put another crab into his vine mine. "Let's see if we can find some wild sage or rosemary or other spices when we go back."
In addition to crustaceans, Bifang also caught a few small pike in the river bend.
With fish and vegetables, life is rich.
They pulled their feet out of the mud, washed them in the river, and put on their socks and shoes again after drying them. They directly gutted the pike and scraped off the scales. There was a small river here, which was convenient for rinsing. After they had processed all the fish, they walked towards the cave.
After working hard for half a day, both of them were starving.
Bao Weiss took out his phone and checked. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. "It's hard to believe that I didn't eat all day today and had afternoon tea directly."
"I don't have any desserts or tea here, only some fishy fish ."
"I feel like I'm so hungry now that I can eat anything."
On the way, Bifang also kept an eye out for wild spices, and he actually found some, a few mint plants, which he happily put into his pocket.
After returning to the cave, Bifang poured all the crustaceans into the water tank: "All crustaceans need to spit out the sand, but now they can't eat it. Now they can only eat grilled fish. Later, drip the oil from the grilled fish into the water to form an oil film on the water surface, which can separate the water from the air. This will make these guys lack oxygen in the water and breathe faster, thus speeding up the sand spitting process."
"If we progress quickly, maybe we can have it tonight."
Bifang piled up a circle of stones next to the fire, covered them with clay, making a simple stove, and finally placed a clean stone slab on top.
With a stone slab, you can fry fish instead of grilling it, allowing the oil and fish meat to react more fully, making it more fragrant without seasoning.
Tear up the mint leaves and sprinkle them in, and the fragrant aroma will hit you.
The fish belly shrinks under the high temperature, and the fat in the cells turns into thick oil, which reacts with the fish meat itself under the licking of the fierce fire, and the charming aroma spreads in all directions.
Bowes sat aside, holding the rough chopsticks made from a hunting knife in his hand, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
He hadn't felt so hungry for a long time, and the fried fish in front of him was unexpectedly tempting.
Although there was no seasoning and the only spice was mint, Bao Weiss thought it was very good. After all, the chefs in the Central Kingdom might sprinkle some salt on it?
The food and beverage in Central China has always been criticized, except for the famous dishes such as fish and chips and gazing at the stars.
The fish and chips were okay, but too greasy. After eating them for a week, I wouldn't want to eat them again for about a month.
Bifang has always believed that the world's cooking skills and food should develop along with the development of civilization, but Yangguo can tell you with solid evidence.
No, this is wrong.
[If there is a book called "Yanggo on the Tip of the Tongue", it would probably be written like this: The people of Yanggoland select the best cod, clean it, wrap it in batter, fry it in a frying pan until golden, and then serve it with fresh French fries.]
[The Scottish people in the north choose the best skate, clean it, wrap it in batter, fry it in a frying pan until golden, and then serve it with fresh French fries. ]
[The Welsh people choose the best plaice, clean it, wrap it in batter and fry it in a frying pan until golden brown, and then serve it with fresh French fries]
[“What is heaven? Heaven is the chefs of the prosperous countries, the workers of the wealthy countries, and the police of the Central countries. What is hell? Hell is the chefs of the Central countries, the workers of the prosperous countries, and the police of the De countries” - Johnson Khan Jr.]
In fact, this small island country can hardly grow anything except potatoes and rapeseed, and its pursuit of a natural style is actually limited by its natural resources.
[In the school cafeteria of Central China: Steamed giant potatoes, steamed big potatoes, steamed small potatoes, no peeling. Baked giant potatoes, baked big potatoes, baked small potatoes, no peeling. Thick potato strips, thin potato strips, mashed potatoes, thick potato slices, thin potato slices.]
When the pike was cooked, Baoweisi couldn't wait to pick it up with chopsticks. He was panting from the heat, but he didn't care about the fish meat cooling down and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
The scent of mint alone cannot completely suppress the fishy smell of pike, but after frying, the fishy smell is almost gone.
Although there was no salt, the aroma made Baoweisi completely forget about it and he ate happily.
In addition, the fish they caught were saltwater pike, which had relatively few bones, basically only a few large ones, so it was even more enjoyable to eat.
After Bifang waited for the stone slab to cool down a bit, he immersed it directly in a wooden trough, allowing the oil on it to float on the water. The crustaceans, which had already opened most of their mouths, soon began to spit out sand.
Okay, we have midnight snack too.
