Chapter 148 Seaweed Onigiri
Before waiting for the students to come up with a solution for octopus reproduction, the seaweed grown by Li Chengxin's family can also be harvested.

Lift the seaweed net out of the water, and you can see the purple pennant-like seaweed attached to the net, almost each piece is about 20 cm long.

After fixing the seaweed net above the sea surface, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong began to skillfully hold a plastic washbasin each, and began to harvest seaweed.They floated the washbasin on the surface of the sea, placed it under the seaweed net, and then began to roll off the seaweed along the net and put it all into the washbasin.

In the end, three kilograms of seaweed were harvested from just one net.Of course, this weight contains water. The water mentioned here is real water, and it is sea water.

Freshly harvested seaweed, we will start making seaweed sheets on the same day.

First, wash the seaweed with boiling water that has been boiled and let it cool. After fully scrubbing in the cold boiled water, pour the seaweed into a fine-pored filter to squeeze out the water, and then select the seaweed piece by piece, arrange it vertically according to the fiber direction, and let it dry slightly Dry.

"The next step is to let Brother Xiaoyong chop seaweed!" Li Chengxin made room for everyone in the live broadcast room to see Brother Xiaoyong's appearance.

In the meantime, Brother Xiaoyong stood behind Li Chengxin with a big knife in each of his left and right hands, as if glaring at King Kong, ready to cut someone at any time.

[terrible terrible]

【It’s just chopping a piece of seaweed, what about it】

【Xiao Yong is so handsome! 】

In the complaints of netizens, Li Chengxin showed a printed picture, which is the image of a fisherman holding two big knives.

"This is one of the old photos kept in the provincial museum here. This is the way we chop seaweed since ancient times."

This photo was discovered by a few students when they were looking through the materials. Thinking that Li Chengxin's seaweed was about to be harvested, he copied a photo for them as a prototype.

In fact, besides machetes, Hongming Village used to have a tool called "aircraft knife", which was also used for chopping seaweed, but Li Chengxin went all over the village but failed to borrow one. It's so old that no one seems to use it anymore.

The reason why the aircraft knife is called the aircraft knife is because it looks like the old-fashioned aircraft during World War I. At that time, the aircraft had two to three pairs of parallel wings, while the aircraft knife had three parallel blades. It has the effect of chopping three knives.

There are still exhibitions in the provincial museum, but it is estimated that it is impossible for them to use this kind of tools in the cultural relics category.

Mincing the seaweed is a very important step, which can even affect the taste of the seaweed slices later.The finer the chop, the stronger the aroma of the seaweed, and it will have a melt-in-your-mouth texture when you eat it.

With this introduction, Brother Xiaoyong started chopping seaweed.

I saw him opening and closing his hands wide and flying with two big knives, which was really full of momentum.

If everyone hadn't known that Brother Xiaoyong was chopping seaweed, they might have thought he was filming "God of Chef".

The shadow of the knife flew for 5 minutes, Brother Xiaoyong stopped and gathered the scattered seaweed and continued to chop. After repeating this several times, Li Chengxin dared to get closer to check the effect.

The seaweed has been chopped into pieces, and the cutting board has become a little sticky because of it. It looks like the effect of the time when copper algae was crushed with a wall breaker to make alginic acid solution to make soil.

Put the chopped seaweed into a plastic basin, continue to add cool boiling water and mix it into a suspension of crushed seaweed.

The method of making seaweed sheets is similar to that of making paper. A filter made of thin bamboo slats is placed under the wooden frame. A special measuring tool is used to scoop up the seaweed suspension and pour it quickly and evenly into the frame mold.

While Li Chengxin was introducing, Brother Xiaoyong was doing it, and he completed the weight of a piece of seaweed in an instant. Netizens were amazed by this skillful movement.

【Is this good?It's too fast! 】

[As expected of Brother Xiaoyong, Zicheng, you and Brother Xiaoyong are on the show together, it's easy for me to climb the wall! 】

[Brother Xiaoyong is really good at work as usual! 】

After using up all the seaweed suspension, only 20 pieces of seaweed were made in total, and the bamboo filter with seaweed was placed in the sun to dry.

After half a day, the seaweed pieces are dried and can be peeled off.

Brother Xiaoyong has rich experience in making seaweed, and the seaweed slices are neither thick nor thin.In general, if the nori sheet is too thick, it will be difficult to peel off, and if it is too thin, it will break easily.

At this time, the seaweed slices were still raw seaweed, and Li Chengxin had already lit the charcoal stove by the side when Brother Xiaoyong was uncovering the seaweed slices.

Brother Xiaoyong brought slices of raw seaweed and gently brushed it back and forth over the charcoal stove a few times.

Soon, the originally purple seaweed pieces turned into a bright dark green after being roasted.

"So... just a few pieces of seaweed, what can they be used for?" Li Chengxin shut himself up. If so many pieces of seaweed hadn't been eaten by the black snapper halfway, it is estimated that the output could increase by about ten pieces.

"Let's make rice balls... I can only make rice balls. After all, there are too few pieces of seaweed, and there is not enough cold salad." Brother Xiaoyong was also speechless.

This decision was actually made when drying the seaweed slices before, so Brother Xiaoyong went to Li Chengxin's kitchen to move out the freshly cooked rice.The rice in Li Chengxin's family is grown by the third uncle himself, and it is absolutely green and pollution-free. Li Chengxin has always eaten it with confidence.

The steaming fresh rice exudes a satisfying aroma in the evening when it cools down in early autumn.

Li Chengxin stirred the rice with a rice spoon to make it slightly soft, dipped his hands in some salt water to cool down, then took out a piece of rice with one hand, quickly kneaded it into a triangular ball, and placed it on the seaweed sheet spread aside.

Brother Xiaoyong took over the next work and wrapped the seaweed slices on the rice balls. The seaweed heated by the rice balls also overflowed with a salty fragrance.

【Looks delicious! 】

[I want to eat!It's not difficult to knead rice balls, what's difficult is the fresh seaweed slices! 】

[I'm going out to eat Japanese food with my boyfriend tonight! 】

[It is forbidden to distribute dog food here...]

The rice balls here were almost squeezed, and the sound of a speedboat came from the sea.

Li Chengxin looked back, it was the speedboat of Zhou Hao Resort, and today was the day he had agreed with Professor Yang and the others to deliver supplies.

"Are you ready?" The driver of the speedboat controlled the speedboat and stopped it sideways not far from the shore.The two people who got off the speedboat were Li Chengxin's parents. They got off work early today, and the resort's speedboat happened to be coming to Li Chengxin's house to get supplies, so he brought his parents back.

"That's good!" Brother Xiaoyong turned around and replied.

In addition to ordinary dry food supplies, Li Chengxin also made rice balls, which are convenient and fresh foods, for Professor Yang and students who worked hard and studied to help improve the environment of the nearby sea area.

By the time Li Chengxin and Brother Xiao Yong had wrapped all the rice balls, put them in the food box, and filled the food box with several layers of side dishes that had been prepared before, Xiao's parents and Zhou Hao had already helped move the needed supplies to the speedboat. superior.

After sending the speedboat away, Li Chengxin put away the leftover rice in the pot, and Li Chengxin's parents took out the food boxes they brought from the resort.

Seeing that Li Chengxin's house was about to have dinner, Brother Xiaoyong was also about to run away. If he didn't go home, he would probably be blamed by Lin Yiyi.

"Xin Wa'er, Lin Yiyi asked before, do we have time to do a live broadcast of helping farmers recently?" Before leaving, Brother Xiaoyong thought of this question.

Li Chengxin looked at the calendar on his phone. It had been more than half a year since the last live broadcast of helping farmers.

"Okay, just call me after the arrangement is made."
