"Do you think these seafood are OK?"

The fish baskets and fish were placed on the ground, and a group of black and thin fishermen looked at Chen Xu nervously, while the older fishermen rubbed their hands and asked nervously.

"Blade fish...yellow croaker...grouper...pomfret...hairfish..."

Chen Xu squatted in front of a bunch of fish and looked through it with his hands. He found that they were indeed several common species of fish in the southeast coast, which was no different from those caught by fishermen in later generations. These fish were not uncommon in Wuzhong and Langya. Chen Xu stayed near Jiaozhou Bay in Langya for more than two months, and saw many of the messy fish and ate a lot.

The fish in the fish basket are smaller. In addition to a few oysters and sea cucumbers, there are also some transparent shrimps, but these are only three or five pounds together. I guess they are only enough to taste it.

After reading it, Chen Xu was a little disappointed.

A group of wives and concubines had long been seduced by the various seafood delicious foods he promoted, and the saliva flowed from Xianyang here. I am afraid I would be disappointed when I see these common seafood. Moreover, Chen Xu did not intend to eat these common fish and shrimps, but to eat squid and scallops, seafood that people do not like to eat. Moreover, when he set out from Xianyang this time, various ingredients and kitchen utensils were prepared, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic, pepper, five-spice seasonings, vermicelli, onion, firewood, charcoal and iron plates. Now everything is ready to be put into the pot, but I don’t want seafood.

"Marty, these fish are pretty good, they are quite big, why are you not satisfied?" Cao Shen and others looked at Chen Xu's entangled expression and collapsed slightly.

"The fish is good, but I am not planning to come and eat fish this time!" Chen Xu sighed and stood up.

"Mr. Marquis, what should I eat if I don't eat fish at the beach?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"The sea is so big, can't I eat anything except fish? Scallops, clams, razor clams, sea crabs, prawns, squids..."

"Dad, there are kelp, Xier wants to eat kelp!"

The child was so dizzy that he was getting better. After getting off the boat, Meng Wan and others were still sitting in the shade on the edge of the beach to rest. Chen Xi had recovered and started running around the beach with barefoot. At this time, he squeezed to Chen Xu and started yelling to eat kelp.

"Why do the aunt keep eating kelp?" Cao Shen asked curiously.

"Dad said that eating kelp won't cause big neck disease. Xi'er doesn't want to grow into a thick neck, so she needs to eat kelp!" Chen Xi said loudly.

"Uh, Marquis, is this true?" Cao Shen asked with a confused look on his face.

"Of course it is true. Kelp contains a substance called iodine. Eating it can prevent a big neck disease. This disease can also be inherited from offspring. If a child born with severe iodine deficiency will become stupid. Iodine is not only found in kelp, but in fact almost all seafood contains iodine. Therefore, few coastal residents have thick neck disease, and can be seen in many places in the inland area. I encountered a few days ago in Dongting Lake..."

"Hey, what the Marquis said seems to be true. I have met some patients with thick necks in Handan before. They have sore throats and have difficulty speaking and doing work. Although the fishermen on the beach are all black and thin, they have never seen a big neck!"

"What the Marquis said is naturally correct. There is a father and son in our village who are both big-necked, not even in the northwest inland, just in Su County, Sishui..."

"I also encountered it. On the way to Tai'an, a group of men on the construction site had thick neck diseases and had extremely difficult diet..."

A group of people onlookers began to discuss this topic in a lingering manner. A thin and black fisherman shouted: "There are some under the reefs on the kelp, and they often tangle fishing nets. If you want to eat, we will catch some. You don't want your money, but you have to... give money to these fish..."

"Okay, you two can help me catch some kelp, and you can also make some other seaweed and sea vegetables. I'll see which ones can be eaten. We'll ask all these fish. How much is the right amount?" Chen Xu nodded and asked.

The old fishermen counted it, and then discussed it with a group of people for a few more words. After offering a price of fifty yuan, Chen Xu directly gave them 100 yuan and said: "There are too few seafood. You can find more fishermen nearby to go fishing in the sea. Don't have big fish, just oysters, abalone, scallops, big crabs, squid..."

"What is squid?" Several fishermen looked at each other.

"Squid is just octopus... Well, it's almost like that. Except for the beginning, it's all legs, there are also cuttlefish. Have you seen cuttlefish? They can spit black ink..."

"I have seen it, and sometimes I can meet diving!" Several fishermen nodded quickly.

"Well, I don't like eating these common fish and shrimps. I want to eat all kinds of strange seafood, shrimp, crab, shell octopus. You go and catch them, two yuan per catty. I want as much as I want. Go!"

"Ao~~" Several black and thin young fishermen turned around and ran away excitedly, and they didn't want the fish baskets anymore. The old fishermen were also very excited. After taking the two purple Tai Chi Tongbao handed over by Chen Xu, they hurriedly put the fishing boats in the two fish baskets, and then hurriedly ran to the fishing boat with a few empty fish baskets.

"Come on, take the fish and shrimps to clean..."

Chen Xu waved his hand, and immediately several chefs and chefs who followed the Hou Mansion came to clean and dispose of the fish and shrimps.

At this time, the beach was already full of liveliness and busyness. Boatmen and sailors were all coming and going to build firewood, clean the dry firewood, rice and cook. One after another, flames and smoke were already rising, and the sound of laughter, scolding, fighting and noise were mixed together. The warm greetings of your mother and your wife came one after another, and the entire beach was in a state of joy.

"My benefactor, the snake has been peeled and washed, and the peppercorns are all prepared. Do you see if you can start?"

A simple wooden table had been laid on the grass by a stream, and several simple stoves for cooking were built with stone, sand and soil. Under Yu Wuya's command, the chefs and servants of the Hou Mansion had placed a clean snake on the wooden table. The tender snake meat looked snow-white and crystal clear and full of temptation.

After Chen Xu traveled over, he found that although the rural people were so poor that they had no meals after eating, they did not eat snake meat. When a big python was carried to Qinghe Town for a long time, they didn't sell it. In the end, Jiangbeiting took a fancy to the python skin and bought the whole snake for 800 yuan.

There are many reasons why you don’t eat snake meat. The two most important ones are: first, they are disgusting and afraid, because snakes have been mixed with poisonous insects since ancient times, and no one dares to eat them. Second, there is no good cooking method, no oil or seasoning, and boiling snakes in white water will feel disgusting when they think about it.

However, since Chen Xu caught a big snake in the tea tree field and made a meal of snake meat, snakes have become a rare delicacy, which is more interesting to Yu Wuya than chicken, duck, fish. However, although snake meat is delicious, it is based on careful cooking. It is definitely not good without seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and pepper. Since he went to Yingzhou, Yu Wuya hasn't eaten snake meat for several years. He happened to meet it today and would definitely not miss this delicacy.

I don’t know what kind of breed this snake is, it’s more than one meter long. It’s probably seven or eight kilograms to peel it and wash it off at this time. It’s definitely a big snake.

"Come on, help me put on the hood!"

Chen Xu washed his hands by the stream, and the two servants quickly stepped forward to help put on their clothes and put on their hats. In an instant, Daqin Zuoxiang turned into a chef and was about to sell the delivery guy's chef to make a delicious snake soup.

"Go quickly, the Marquis is cooking by himself!" The news spread, and the whole bay became restless in an instant, and countless people took the initiative to run wildly to watch.

It is said that the Qinghe Marquis has the reputation of being a master of the Qin Dynasty, the name of a master of food, and the reputation of the world's food as a master of Qinghe. In the minds of the people of the world, the Qinghe Marquis is not just a marquis, but also a disciple of the immortal family, representing omnipotence.

There are only a handful of people in the world who are fortunate to witness Qinghe Hou cooking with their own eyes, and there are very few people who can eat the food he makes with his own hands. For chefs in the world, the opportunity to witness Qinghe Hou showing off his cooking skills on the spot is comparable to epic difficulty.

But today, this epic upgrade opportunity is in front of you.

Even if you only learn a little, your status in the food industry will rise from now on.

"It's almost four years now, and I can finally eat the delicious food made by the Marquis himself again!" Although Cao Shen had never eaten a snake, he was so greedy that he started drooling.

"I don't know if I can be lucky enough to taste it!"

"I'm afraid it won't work. The Marquis's family is too many. How can such a few insects and fish and shrimp be enough for food?"

"It's good to taste the soup if you can't eat it!"

A group of captains and managers gathered around the inside and drooled and discussed in a low voice.

"Chop chop chop ~"

Chen Xu picked up a sharp kitchen knife, chopped a big hop into small pieces more than an inch long, then cut the washed ginger and garlic, and checked the large ingredients such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pepper, star anise, etc. After feeling that everything was ready, he ordered the fire to prepare the stir-fry.

Snake meat is not uncommon for southerners. Guangdong, in later generations, was a major province that ate snakes, and it was eaten from the Han Dynasty to the New China.

Therefore, a popular saying in later generations: Snakes are not scary, while Guangdong talents are scary.

As the most common ingredient in the south, snake meat is also widely eaten, fried, fried, fried, stewed, but Chen Xu’s method is relatively simple, that is, home-cooked braised.

Put the large iron pot rack on the stove, and the flames rise soon. After the iron pot is heated, add enough sesame oil, wait until the oil temperature reaches, add ginger, garlic and pepper sauce and stir-fry, then put the snake meat in the pot for three or five minutes. When the meat is rolled up, add a scoop of water to submerge the snake meat, add star anise salt and other seasonings, cover the pot and start to smolder.

"This home-cooked braised snake meat is simple to make. You can do it next time after you see it clearly. In fact, not only snake meat, but also other beefs, mutton, and dogs can be cooked like this..."

While doing it, Chen Xu told the chefs and chefs standing in the circle of ships next to him.
