59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chapter 33: The shrimp is so big that it can’t fit in one pot

"This is called a red stingray."

Chen Feng didn't let Chen Hao pull the fishing line hard.

If you use ordinary household silk thread, it will easily break if you pull it like this.

"Don't use brute force, as it can easily break the line. First turn it in the direction the fish is swimming and pull it slowly."

The body of the red stingray is flat, with a large, subcircular body disc that is wider than it is long.

It looks like a pot lid, with a long fish tail with a barb. The hook is poisonous and is its only weapon.

The meat tastes good, the liver is tender and not fishy, ​​the skin is thick and rich in gelatin. After being soaked in water, it is cooked into "big braised fish skin", which tastes delicious and is a delicacy on the table.

Red stingrays are mainly distributed in southern Japan, southwestern Korea, the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

There is also some in Bohai Sea, but once the pollution gets worse, it will be gone.

Twist off the stingray's tail and put the half-meter-long stingray into the bucket. The bucket will be almost full of space.

"Brother, I'll take the bucket back first."

Chen Hao said very proactively.

"Okay, leave me the bucket of clams. I want to make some bait."

Chen Feng continued fishing.

Chen Hao ran with the bucket, wishing he could fly back immediately to show his parents and relatives what they had harvested.

Chen Feng's luck was not very good this time, as what came up was a Bohai shrimp.

"One is not enough."

Bohai shrimp, also known as Oriental shrimp, is one of the most productive species in the genus Penaeus. It is only distributed along the coast of China and is mainly produced in the Bohai Sea.

This kind of shrimp is generally fat, and one shrimp is more than ten centimeters long, and can even grow to more than twenty centimeters.

September to October is the season when shrimps mature.

"Forget it, I'll just roast it for the little girl to eat and give her some nourishment."

Prawns are very nutritious, high in protein, low in fat, rich in phosphorus and calcium, and are especially beneficial to children and pregnant women. They are the best among shrimps and have high economic value, and are listed as one of the "eight treasures" of seafood.

Moreover, this prawn was big enough, measuring a full twenty centimeters and weighing nearly one or two taels.

He hooked again.

After waiting for less than a minute, another prawn appeared.

"Did we run into a prawn nest?"

Chen Feng inexplicably recalled the roasted loach he had eaten in Sijiu City.

However, prawns are more delicious than loaches. Not only do they have more meat and no bones, but they also taste better.

The only trouble is that Shazhu is not here, so it is technically difficult to make delicious food.

"It seems that I need to learn cooking from Shazhu sometime."

Nowadays, becoming a disciple is not an easy thing.

With Sha Zhu's personality, he is likely to take this matter very seriously.

Chen Feng decided to exchange with him.

It's impossible to call him teacher, never in this life!

Sure enough, the next dozen or so times, all that was caught were prawns.

Chen Feng was sure that his fishing hook had attracted a group of prawns.

Four or five mature prawns can almost fill an entire plate.

A dozen large mature prawns are enough to feed the entire Chen family.

With the idea that "prawn meat is also meat", Chen Feng lifted the rod frequently and even forgot to add clam meat to the hook. He also fed a few small prawns to Lai Fu from time to time.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Chen Hao finally appeared with a bucket of fish.

"You peed in the pit?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Feng knew it was his second brother without even looking.

Chen Hao picked up the bucket and took out three roasted clams from his pocket and gave them to Chen Feng like presenting a treasure.

"Brother, my third sister insisted on coming and kept pulling me along. Mom disagreed, so I grilled some clams for her."

Chen Feng was indifferent.

"You can eat if you want. I won't eat."

"How many clams did you dig up in half an hour?"

Chen Hao said with a depressed look: "Brother, just five."

"So you're still digging?"

Chen Feng was speechless.

This efficiency is not as good as fishing for prawns by yourself.

Chen Hao said depressedly: "Just now I saw you easily dug up a dozen or so, and I thought it was easy to dig, but I didn't expect that I dug a lot of beaches and didn't find any."

Chen Feng asked, "You didn't even look at it and just dug it on the beach?"

"correct."

Chen Hao said in confusion: "Brother, aren't you like this?"

"If you dig it up casually, you'll find a razor clam."

Chen Feng patted his brother on the shoulder, expressing his admiration for his persistence and his concern for his IQ.

"Before you do anything in the future, ask me first, don't act on your own."

With a lift of his left hand, the fishing rod was lifted up, and an 18-centimeter-long large prawn fell into his right hand.

"Brother, this shrimp is so big! It might be a monster." Chen Hao said with shining eyes.

"Try and see if you can catch it." Chen Feng said calmly. "This is just a small shrimp. You have never seen a real big shrimp."

The largest shrimp in the world is the American lobster, commonly known as the Boston lobster. One can grow to one meter in length and weigh more than 20 kilograms.

That's really "Kun is so big that it can't be cooked in one pot".

As Chen Hao took the bait, he asked, "Brother, how big is the biggest shrimp?"

Chen Feng smiled and explained to him: "American Boston shrimp, one is bigger than our Laifu, enough for you to eat for several days."

Chen Hao lowered his head, looked at Lai Fu who had eaten a few small prawns, and said blankly: "Brother, could they be the shrimp soldiers of the Sea Dragon King?"

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Okay, this is also the shrimp soldier's child, don't eat it later."

Chen Hao immediately came back to his senses and said, "Brother, they are meat!"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "This boy is teachable."

"You should watch less Journey to the West in the future. There is no Dragon King or shrimp soldiers in the sea."

Chen Hao rolled his eyes and did not agree.

Reading the comic book Journey to the West is his favorite activity. Not letting him read it is as painful as not letting him eat.

"Brother, I just brought the fish back. Do you know what Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma said?"

Chen Feng said lazily: "Where did you pick it up from?"

"Not at all!"

Chen Hao chuckled.

After he finished laughing, he said, "They asked if you bought it at the dock."

"My grandfather said that this kind of pot-lid fish is very rare and can be sold for more than ten yuan in the city."

"What happened next? You didn't take it to the city to sell it, did you?" Chen Feng frowned.

Stingrays taste delicious and he plans to have a good meal tonight.

"He asked Dad to keep it in a water tank, but Dad disagreed and said he would just kill it and eat it directly." Chen Hao said proudly: "I pinched my sister's butt hard, and she started crying and insisted on eating the big fish."

Chen Feng believed in his younger brother and sister's talent in eating.

For food, everything is possible.

Waited for more than ten minutes.

"Brother, I caught it. I caught the fish too."

It was Chen Hao’s first time fishing and his first time catching a hook, and he was very excited.

This was the first time in his life that he created value.

When he followed Chen Feng's method and caught the underwater prey, he found that it was a strange shrimp that was one-third smaller than the prawn.

"This shrimp is so ugly, and why is it so small?"

Chen Hao was very disgusted.

"Oh, Mantis shrimp, not bad either." Chen Feng praised.

Mantis shrimp is the most widely distributed and most productive stomatopod in my country. It dies shortly after leaving the water and is extremely difficult to keep alive.

The meat is very tender and crystal clear.

After being cooked, the color turns into a strange purple, the meat is tender, sweet and juicy, and it has a special fragrance that is refreshing and tempting to stop.

Although the meat is not as much as prawns, it has higher nutritional value.

Chen Hao took the mantis shrimp and compared it with the prawns in Chen Feng's fish bucket. He immediately felt that his performance was too poor.

Comparing people will make you feel nauseous, and comparing goods will make you lose them.
