The two of them were busy packing up the water chestnuts here. Some tourists were attracted to them and asked, "Is these bamboo shoots?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "No, this is water chestnut, but it is similar to bamboo shoots, and it is also a vegetable. There are many ways to eat it."
A tourist was interested: "How to eat this thing? Where did you get it?"
Ao Muyang pointed to the lake and said, "There are water chestnuts under these fish, which are quite delicious. The key is that they grow naturally and have absolutely no pollution. You can't eat them in the city, and what you can eat is also water chestnuts grown."
Anything these days, as long as it is combined with words such as wild, purely natural, and pollution-free, will immediately double its value.
After hearing Ao Muyang's words, the tourist became interested: "Can you sell me a little?"
Ao Fugui said, "You still need to buy this? Just dig it next to you, it's the same."
The visitor said helplessly: "I don't bring any tools, and I don't want to get my clothes dirty."
Ao Muyang and Ao Fugui were both like mud monkeys, and their clothes were covered with mud ideas.
Seeing this, Ao Fugui took a few cut wild rice rice and handed it to the tourists. The tourists asked, "How much does it cost?"
Ao Fugui waved his hand generously and said, "I'll send you my gift to the village and find a fishing house, and give you a processing fee of 10 or 8 yuan. This is a dish."
After seeing this, other tourists came up to ask for it.
The two dug up a lot of water chestnuts, and this thing was not worth much, so they made a generous gift and gave each of the tourists.
The remaining two separated, and Ao Muyang put it in his backpack and took the general and the head of state home.
It was already evening, and the returning fishing boat was docked at the village pier. He went to see that someone had salvaged some shrimps, so he left twenty yuan and took away some eagle-clawed shrimps with fingers.
Ao Mudong smiled when he saw it: "Brother Yang, have you not eaten enough shrimp? I said earlier that there is no need to spend money. My brother just left, and he got some shrimp today."
Ao Muyang said: "No, I can't eat much, go back and cook a dish."
What he wanted to make was a rare dish in local fishermen, called wild rice shrimp cake. This was one of the signature dishes he had when he was in Beijing and was very popular with girls and children.
There are many things to prepare for this dish. In addition to regular oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, flour, eggs, and bread crumbs.
Bread crumbs are extremely rare in mountain villages, but there are bread sold in supermarkets, so Ao Muyang started rummaging on it.
Ao Mucheng's son Ao Luhan just finished school and saw him carefully checking the bread, he said mysteriously: "Uncle Yang, are you looking for the freshest and most delicious, right? I'll find it for you, I have experience."
"Where did you get the experience?" Ao Muyang asked with a smile.
Ao Luhan said proudly: "Every day I help my parents clean up the shelves. I know exactly which one is delicious and which one is not delicious."
Ao Mucheng, who was drinking, curled his lips and said, "Look, you can do it!"
Ao Muyang stopped Ao Luhan who was about to search for him and said, "Don't, I don't want fresh ones, I want the driest bread."
Ao Luhan was stunned: "Ah? The most fucking thing? It's not delicious."
Ao Muyang said: "I have other uses."
Ao Luhan thought for a while and said, "I opened a loaf of bread in the morning and broke a piece of it. The remaining one was a big piece and it was not packed. It should be dry now."
Sure enough, he went to the kitchen to find a dry bread.
Ao Muyang was about to take away the bread, and Ao Luhan laughed and said, "A new bread costs ten yuan. I have opened it, but I only ate a little. Give me five yuan."
"Okay, you really know how to do business."
Ao Mucheng shouted behind the counter: "You little bastard, no one eats this broken bread, and you still ask you, Uncle Yang, to collect money? Give it to him for free."
Ao Muyang picked up the bread and left, saying, "Don't pretend to behave. If you really want to give it to me, why do you shout inside? Come out and stuff it to me."
Ao Mucheng laughed.
After returning home, Ao Muyang rubbed the dry bread and rubbed off a pile of crumbs.
Then he began to clean up the eagle claw shrimp, pinched off the shrimp head and tail, peeled off the shrimp shells, washed the remaining shrimp meat and cut it into meat sauce, added some salt, cooking wine and ginger powder and five-spice powder to remove the fishy smell.
The shrimp meat sauce was first removed from the fishy smell, and then he chopped the water chestnuts into powder, mixed them with flour and egg whites. He mixed the shrimp meat sauce and water chestnuts together and made them into small round cakes.
Finally, he dipped the small round cakes in a bread crumb plate, turned on the oven and put them in it, and the rest was waiting to eat.
The rotating needle of the oven was beating dripping. He went to the yard and lay under the fragrant tree to play with his cell phone.
After a while, the delicious aroma of shrimp meat came out of the oven.
It was almost sunset when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Ao Muyang thought it was Ao Fugui and cursed with a smile: "You bastard have such a sharp nose. You are here before dinner is cooked?"
"Uh, Brother Yang, are you ready to have a meal?" Ao Wenchang's somewhat awkward voice rang.
Ao Muyang turned around and saw that it was him, and smiled and said, "It's Wenchang, I think it's wealthy. He always likes to come to me for free."
Ao Wenchang rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Yang, you can have dinner first, I'll come over after the meal."
Fishermen have dinner late because the fishing boats often have a few moons and stars when they come back, and every household only eats supper at eight or nine o'clock.
Ao Muyang said: "You can eat with me. You are a rare guest. I can't remember how many times you took the initiative to come to my door since you were a child."
Ao Wenchang has been unsociable since he was a child. He stayed in the classroom in school and studied quietly. After returning home, he hurried at home and studied honestly, never crazy with them.
Arranged Ao Wenchang to sit down, and he went to bring out the grilled water chestnut shrimp cakes.
The cake is only the size of a young child's palm, with some bread crumbs on it, and exudes an attractive fresh fragrance.
Ao Muyang brought out a small plate of salt and sugar and said, "I want to eat salty dipped this, and I want to eat sweet dipped that."
Ao Wenchang smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yang, I'm not here to eat, I want to come over to talk to you about something, I want to ask you for help if you have something to do."
"When eating, I said." Ao Muyang blew the cake, then took a bite after cooling down.
The cake is made of wild rice and shrimp meat. It is very elastic, with the deliciousness of shrimp and the fragrance of wild rice. It tastes delicious when chewed at one bite at a time.
Ao Wenchang wanted to eat one politely, but after eating one, he couldn't stop, and then he couldn't help but take one and taste it: "Yeah, Brother Yang, it's delicious."
Ao Muyang said: "Is it delicious? Haha, I have to cook delicious. Tell me, if you have anything to do, I need to ask me for help?"
Ao Wenchang swallowed the shrimp cake and said, "Brother Yang, I want to do it with you!"
"What are you doing?" Ao Muyang asked subconsciously.
Ao Wenchang said: "I convinced my parents to work at sea. If I don't take the civil service exam, I won't look for a job first. I want to try my life at sea first."
"I don't have a boat and I don't have any acquaintances, but I know you are working with Uncle Daguo and the others, so I want to ask you for a favor and take me along the way."
"I know I am a newbie and don't know anything. In this way, I won't seek money first. Just let me learn how to go out to sea. When I become a veteran, I will talk about my salary."
He said these words in one breath, and then he looked at Ao Muyang and others with a look.
