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

“Who are you and why are you grilling razor clams in my house?”

An eight-year-old boy and a ten-year-old boy, carrying two small fishing nets and a small bucket, squatted opposite Chen Hao and Chen Li.

They felt that the person in front of them looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who he was.

“This is my grandpa’s house!”

Chen Hao picked up the skewer to prevent the food from being snatched away.

"Nonsense, this is my home." Zhou Dinghai said, staring at the roasted clams.

"What are you guys doing?"

Chen Feng came out and said, "Fubo, this is your cousin Chen Hao. Dinghai, you should call him cousin."

"cousin!"

The two boys stepped forward happily.

In their few memories, every time their cousin from the old city came to their house, he would always bring delicious food.

Chen Feng took a quick look around the house and saw that the adults were preparing to light a fire and cook, or chatting, so he took out four White Rabbit milk candies.

"Eat it, but don't let your father see."

"what is this?"

Zhou Fubo saw White Rabbit Milk Candy for the first time.

The little girl said, "Big White Rabbit—Mmm."

Chen Hao covered his sister's mouth.

"My sister, you can't tell me. Dad is here."

"Big White Rabbit?"

The two young men looked at the gadgets in their hands, quite confused.

Chen Feng pulled Chen Hao's hand away and helped the little girl tear open the candy wrapper.

The little girl licked it immediately.

"Big pot, so sweet!"

Zhou Fubao and Zhou Dinghai understood immediately and followed suit.

After taking a lick, his eyes narrowed.

Chen Feng was the only one present, and it was difficult for him to understand the happiness of these four children.

I took the two cousins' tools into the house and brought the small fish, shrimps and crabs that they had worked so hard to catch to the kitchen. I saw them breaking up large pieces of coarse salt.

This is the preparation for pickling the stingray.

Sea fish does not need to be marinated, but marinating it can remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.

"Uncle, just eat it. There are so many people, there won't be enough prawns."

"Eat it all?"

Zhou Jing couldn't bear to do it.

"Eat them all!" Chen Feng said firmly, "I'll catch more for you tomorrow, and they'll be better."

There's not enough food for eleven people.

Fortunately, this stingray is big enough.

Zhou Qing also said, "Brother, eat it first, so that others won't see you and talk about you."

Since the biggest contributor and the most beloved sister had spoken, Zhou Jing had no choice but to agree.

"Uncle, there are too many people over there on the reef, and I can't catch big fish. Where can I find a good spot?" Chen Feng asked.

Zhou Jing used a kitchen knife to clean up all the stingrays.

Be careful when handling living stingrays, because the long tail spine of this fish is poisonous. The venom is very strong and it can easily go into the flesh.

Once the barb is pulled, it will cause a serious wound mixed with venom, causing excruciating pain and also triggering other diseases.

Easily complete the steps of descaling, gutting, removing the gallbladder, cleaning, cutting into pieces, and cleaning again.

"The big fish is so strong that our fishing line can't hold it."

Chen Feng said confidently: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm lucky, those stupid fish will definitely swim towards me."

"Haha."

The adults in the kitchen couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Jing originally didn't agree, but when he thought about going to the beach to pick up seafood after the tide went out at night, considering his nephew's personality, he definitely wanted to go.

In order to prevent him from running around, I had to tell him.

"One mile south of the reef, there are occasionally fish several kilograms in size."

Chen Feng got the answer. When he came out, the four little ones were sitting around the fire, each eating a grilled razor clam.

"Cousin, how long are you going to stay at my house?"

"Three days, maybe. A carriage will come to pick us up in three days."

"Then I'll take you fishing these few days. I tell you, even though the fish and shrimp may look small, they are very delicious to eat."

"Why are you eating small shrimps? My brother and I caught such big shrimps in the afternoon. My mother has already peeled the shrimp shells and we will eat them tonight."

When the two children from the Zhou family heard this, they immediately ran to the kitchen.

“It’s really a big shrimp!”

"My cousin is so awesome, even more awesome than my dad."

Chen Hao was confused.

"Brother, their home is right by the sea, why are they catching small shrimps? Aren't big shrimps tastier?"

Faced with this question, Chen Feng really wanted to say that he was lucky.

But to say this is a bit arrogant.

So, he said modestly: "It's not easy to catch big shrimps. It depends on luck. Sometimes you are lucky and run into a group of shrimps, then you can catch a lot."

Chen Hao seemed to understand.

"So we are lucky, and my uncle and his family are unlucky, right?"

Chen Feng thought for a few seconds.

"It seems like, yes, probably."

In a short while, Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai ran out and surrounded Chen Feng excitedly.

"Cousin, how did you catch it? Where did you catch it? What bait did you use?"

"Cousin, let's not go fishing in the ditch tomorrow. Let's go fishing for prawns."

"Yes, big shrimps are delicious, with more meat, and are tastier than small fish and shrimps."

The two younger ones were a little excited. It seemed that they hadn't eaten prawns for a long time. They didn't give Chen Feng a chance to speak for a while.

The aquatic products in Bohai Sea are very good now. It is unlike the 80s when water pollution and overfishing led to the extinction of a large number of seafood. But the problem is that what the fishermen catch belongs to the commune.

The good things were either sent to the commune canteen or sold for money or food.

Some responsible and good leaders borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from banks to buy diesel fishing boats, and sold the fish they caught to repay the loans as soon as possible.

In short, many fishermen cannot eat the fish they catch, and the ones they get cannot be sold at a high price and do not taste good.

"Okay, I'll take you fishing tomorrow."

Half an hour later, dinner was ready.

The little girl is always the most active when eating.

As soon as the aroma from the kitchen came out, she pulled Lai Fu's tail and sat down at the edge of the kitchen table.

"Don't run, little dog. I'll give you a bone later."

Lai Fu wanted to escape from the little girl's clutches, but the little girl held him tightly.

“The prawns are coming!”

Zhou Fubo took the initiative to serve the dishes.

Zhou Dinghai also followed and served the fish soup.

The white fish soup is very tempting.

When fish is heated during the cooking process, the fat and protein in it will undergo an emulsification reaction, the fat is broken down into tiny particles, and the protein is wrapped around these fat particles to form a milky suspension.

This emulsification reaction makes the soup milky white, and the higher the fat content, the whiter and more delicious the soup.

"Grandma, look, the shrimps are so big!"

Zhou Dinghai was holding a steamed prawn and gestured with his hands. It was longer than his hand.

"Okay, eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

The little girl took a bite of the stingray and immediately fell in love with it.

"Mom, fish, I want to eat fish."

The red stingray is a cartilaginous fish with very delicious gelatinous meat. The meat is boneless and made entirely of cartilage, making it very suitable for little girls and the elderly to eat.

Compared to steamed prawns, the little girl prefers this soft and tender fish meat which she has never eaten before.
