Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Li's Restaurant transferred the money, and Tang Xiaoyu soon received a notification from the financial staff.

Mr. Li even personally bought some good wine and valuable gifts and went to the house to apologize.

"Manager Tang, my stupid wife was blinded by greed and always went against me no matter what I said."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "Boss Li, you are a smart man, and I am not a fool. We both understand what is going on. You can take the gift away, I will not accept it. In the future, we will never sell the seafood produced in Sifang Island to Li's Restaurant."

Mr. Li looked embarrassed. "Manager Tang, business is about harmony and wealth. There is no reason to push business away."

"Haha, Mr. Li also knows that harmony brings wealth?" Tang Xiaoyu asked back, "But what you two did was not harmonious at all, how can you make money?"

Mr. Li was not angry, but smiled, "Manager Tang, I know we were wrong this time. Now you only have two ships, so you may not need so many buyers. But when you have three, four, or even more ships, who will you sell the seafood to if you have no customers?"

Tang Xiaoyu snorted, "Then don't bother Mr. Li. I have something else to do, Mr. Li should go back. After all, there are many fishing boats, and it's not just our Sifang Island seafood."

Hearing this, Mr. Li looked grim and wanted to say something harsh, but when he thought of the fate of the uncle and nephew of the Wang family, he had to swallow his curse words.

Not to be offended.

Now we can only import seafood from other people. Although the taste is not as good as that on Sifang Island, there is still stock available.

However, the number of old customers may decrease a lot.

Mr. Li was dejected and drove away.

After driving for a while, the brakes suddenly failed and he crashed into the bridge, knocking over the railing and falling off the bridge.

His car window was open and water poured directly in.

If Mr. Li was not injured, he could have climbed out of the window, but when he hit the railing, he was trapped between the steering wheel and the seat.

No matter what, Mr. Li couldn't get out.

"Help, help..." After shouting, Mr. Li was submerged by the water.

By the time someone came to rescue him, half an hour had passed and he still couldn't be saved.

Three days later, Tang Xiaoyu learned from General Manager Yang that General Manager Li had drowned after falling into a river while driving.

"This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Tang Xiaoyu couldn't believe it. "Mr. Li treasures that car very much, how could the brakes fail?"

Mr. Yang hesitated and looked a little abnormal.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyu asked in a low voice: "Boss Yang, if you have something to say, just say it."

Mr. Yang was very cautious and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that the rumor was that you..."

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this. "Impossible! How could it be us? The Li guy is not worthy at all! What's more, we won the lawsuit. Even if they don't pay for the goods, we can enforce it soon."

"Not to mention that before Mr. Li came that day, he had already paid us the money. I just refused to sell him seafood. It was just a business dispute. We didn't suffer any loss. Why would we do such a thankless task? This is slander and throwing dirty water on us!"

Mr. Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "That's what I told you. It's absolutely impossible. Not to mention that there are only two restaurants owned by the surname Li, even if there were 20, it wouldn't be worth it for you to do something like this."

"Yes!" Tang Xiaoyu nodded. "Boss Yang, if you hear people say this outside, you have to speak up for us. Someone is clearly slandering us, maybe it's the real murderer."

Mr. Yang was stunned. "Manager Tang, what do you mean?"

Tang Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't know either. It's just that Mr. Li treasures that car very much. How could he not repair it frequently? If it's really murder, in business, Mr. Li is not worthy of us to do it."

"Then it was a murder of passion. I heard that Mr. Li had a lot of red flags flying at home and colorful flags flying outside. I heard that he took a woman on a trip after the Chinese New Year, but I can be sure that it was not Cao Xiuxiu."

Mr. Yang certainly knew that Mr. Li usually acted recklessly and had someone outside, but Cao Xiuxiu should know it.

Nothing has happened for so many years, there's no reason to take action now?

"Anyway, there's something fishy about Old Li's case." Mr. Yang frowned, "I have to go find out."

Tang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, very interested, "Boss Yang, don't forget to call me and tell me what you found out."

Mr. Yang smiled and said, "Okay!"

Mr. Yang came and left in a hurry.

Seeing Mr. Yang leave, Tang Xiaoyu frowned, found Zheng Qiang's phone number and called him.

After receiving the call, Zheng Qiang came over on the modified motorcycle with the exciting pop music.

Zheng Qiang was wearing a denim jacket, a vest underneath, and jeans. His hair was a little long, and he looked like an artist.

"Manager Tang, congratulations on your fortune." As soon as Zheng Qiang came in, he picked up a banana on the table, peeled it and ate it.

Tang Xiaoyu looked at the casual and free-spirited Zheng Qiang and touched his chin. "Zheng Qiang, you are very eye-catching in the crowd when you are dressed like this. You often take candid photos, don't you think it's a bit awkward?"

Zheng Qiang put the camera hanging around his neck on the table. "You don't know this, do you? I have the temperament of an artist, taking pictures everywhere, how normal is that? If I dress like an ordinary person and take pictures everywhere with a camera, it would be weird."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I see." Tang Xiaoyu nodded. "I asked you to come here because I want you to help me find out who is behind the slander against our Sifang Island seafood and has something to do with Mr. Li's brake failure and falling into the river and dying?"

"Brake failure? How can there be so many coincidences?" Zheng Qiang has seen a lot of cases, but there are not many cases of real brake failure. "Excluding revenge killings and financial disputes, let's see if there are any emotional disputes. Generally, when rich people kill, car accidents are the easiest way."

"Insightful!" Tang Xiaoyu gave a thumbs up. "Mr. Li has a woman outside, but I don't know who it is. He got into a car accident after he left me that day, and someone is throwing dirty water on me. I can't let go of the person who slandered Meilan and me."

Her background is not bad, her father is the mayor.

But Meilan has a powerful background. It would be bad if someone took advantage of her to discredit her and bring disaster to Chief of Staff Liu.

Therefore, when encountering this situation, Tang Xiaoyu was very cautious.

Zheng Qiang nodded, "Okay, I'll check for you."

"How much?" Tang Xiaoyu asked.

Zheng Qiang smiled and said, "Five thousand."

"Okay!" Tang Xiaoyu nodded and took out a red envelope from the drawer, "Please."

Zheng Qiang took the red envelope without hesitation and said, "I'll give you a reply within three days."

"Don't be so anxious. It doesn't matter if you go slowly, but you have to ensure accuracy." Tang Xiaoyu explained. She just wanted to know the truth, not a false impression.

Zheng Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly, "I, Zheng Qiang, never let my customers spend money in vain. You are my old customer, I value you very much, and I will never fool you."

After saying that, Zheng Qiang took another banana from the table and ate it as he walked away.

Looking at Zheng Qiang walking forward with his hands in his pockets, looking very cool, Tang Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Who would have thought that the unrestrained and freedom-loving Zheng Qiang is a comrade-in-arms and good friend of veteran cadres like Fu Chen and Qin Ming?

Tang Xiaoyu handles all the company's affairs.

After resting for two days, Liu Meilan and the boatman went out to sea again while the weather was good.

This time, Chen Dewang followed them on board, and Liu Meilan felt much more relaxed.

Chen Dewang asked cautiously, "Meilan, I really won't cause any trouble for you, right?"

Liu Meilan nodded. "No, don't worry. Maybe after we go back this time, Vice President Wang and Wang Dahai will have no time to pay attention to your employment contract."

Chen Dewang was skeptical, but now with so many people in his family needing to support themselves, he had to go out to work.

Fortunately, Meilan has a background and is not afraid of Wang Dahai.

If it were any other captain, he would not dare to do this.

"We're going to pull up the nets now. I'll go take a look!" Chen Dewang smiled. "In this area of ​​the sea, you can usually catch a lot of red flower crabs. Let's see if we can catch some this time?"

Liu Meilan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He had just seen it, and it was indeed a popular flower crab. (Picture)

This is the experience of old fishermen. Different places have different seafood.

Maybe it's not so certain, but the probability is higher.

After untying the net, it was found that most of the fish in the net were red flower crabs, with some octopuses and other miscellaneous fish mixed in.

Red flower crabs are also carnivorous animals. They are active at night and rest during the day, and they like to roam freely.

The body of the male crab with lines is lighter in color, while the body of the female crab is darker in color and has more obvious texture.

The crab meat is white and salty, with a rich, sweet and fragrant crab flavor.

The crab roe is granular and bright red in color, but not in large quantities, and exudes a light, unique seawater flavor.

To select plump and delicious red flower crabs, you should first press the crab legs to determine the firmness of the meat, then observe whether it is lively and vigorous, and determine whether it has a hard shell or a soft shell.

The firmness of the crab meat is directly affected before and after the crab sheds its shell.

Liu Meilan praised, "Uncle Chen, you are so experienced. You actually guessed it right!"

Chen Dewang smiled, looking a little proud, but he spoke modestly, "Well, it's nothing. I've caught flower crabs many times when I passed by this sea area over the years. I was lucky this time and just happened to guess right."

Tang Changping also had to give a thumbs up, "This is not a guess, this is based on experience."

Just by doing this one trick, the boatmen who were not very familiar with Chen Dewang began to admire him.

Chen Dewang also established his prestige as captain on the ship with this trick.

Later, when Liu Meilan rested at night, Chen Dewang was responsible for driving the boat.

According to his experience, by setting up three nets at night, he could catch a lot of seafood, both in terms of variety and quantity.

One of the nets actually caught a lot of conches, which are large shellfish. (Photo)

Snails are carnivorous and scavenger animals. In winter, they move to shallow water to mate and reproduce.

What’s interesting is that the magnetic snail lays eggs 3 to 5 days after mating, and then stops for a few days before laying eggs for the second time. It does not lay all the eggs in one go.

The meat of conch is tender, smooth and thick, with a rich and fresh flavor.

Whether it is used for blanching, stewing, frying, baking, stuffing or making soup, it is an excellent seafood ingredient.

There are also some damselfly fish, which are active above the suburbs or in the middle water layer and like to swim in small or large groups. (Picture)

Although it is not big, it has thick skin and plump meat. The meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is sweet and delicious.

Sister Zhao uses soy milk fish when cooking.

Wu Yong looked at the dishes on the table in surprise, his face puzzled, "Sister Zhao, are you too tired? Why don't you remove the scales and internal organs when cooking the fish?"

The other old boatmen all smiled and said, "This kind of Shi Po Sha is what we often call Damselfly fish. Just rinse the whole fish with sea water, do not kill it, and steam it with the scales and internal organs. Remove the scales and internal organs when you eat it. This way you can eat it in its original flavor."

Wu Yong still didn’t understand. How dirty would it be if the internal organs weren’t taken out?

"Why do you do this?" Wu Yong asked curiously.

Sister Zhao replied: "Because fish scales can keep the fat under the fish skin from being lost, but this method is only limited to steaming. If you use it to make soup base, you need to remove the scales and internal organs to keep the soup base fresh and sweet without the mud taste."

Wu Yong blinked his eyes when he heard this. "Oh my god, there is actually such a way to eat a fish! Let me try it and see how it tastes!"

Sister Zhao had already steamed a Shi Po Sha (seven-banded damselfish fish) and removed the internal organs and scales with a serving chopstick. "Try it now. I guarantee you will never forget it!"

These are the experiences accumulated by these old fishermen over the years, and they can taste the latest flavors.

Wu Yong ate a little and his eyes lit up. "It really tastes good! Sister Zhao, what's in your pot?"

Sister Zhao replied: "That is fish soup made from damselfish fish."

After saying that, Sister Zhao served two bowls to Liu Meilan and Wu Yong.

Wu Yong saw the soup base, which was milky white and had a rich aroma. "Sister Zhao, why is the fish soup you made so milky in color? My fish soup is not like this!"

Sister Zhao smiled and said, "No matter what kind of fish it is, as long as it is used to make soup, it must be fried in cooking oil until both sides are golden brown. This will lock the fish juice inside the fish. As for why it turns milky white, I don't know the principle. Meilan, you are educated, do you know?"

Liu Meilan smiled and nodded, "I read a book, which said that the oil and water in the fish cannot dissolve in each other. The protein in the fish juice can act as an emulsifier to emulsify them, and then the fish soup becomes milky white."

Zhao Jie and Wu Yong were in awe when they heard Liu Manlan's explanation. "How educated she is! Even if you told us, we wouldn't understand the principle behind it."

Liu Meilan laughed, "Why do you need to know so much? You are not going to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It is enough for us to just know how to cook seafood deliciously."

Sister Zhao was delighted, and then she laughed out loud, "You're right! Meilan, this fish is really delicious. You can bring some home later."

The joy of fishermen, besides making money from fishing, isn't it just for the delicious food in their mouths?
