c812 Man’s damn desire to win! It’s time for the big fish to land
“Uncle Sun, do you need help?”
The fishing guys who were watching put away their fishing rods one after another. Anyway, the two big fish were making a fuss and their nests had already exploded under the water, so they couldn’t catch them at all. It was better to focus on watching the fish.
It would be even better if you can help. With good luck, you might be able to win one later.
Although Lao Suntou gritted his teeth and was tug-of-war with the fish in the water, and was almost dragged into the reservoir several times, but under the influence of the man’s damn desire to win, he still politely declined:
“No, it’s a joke!”
Dundun yawned boredly, jumped down from the folding chair, walked to a piece of sand beside the reservoir, scratched a few times with his paws, scratched a hole, squatted down and peed beautifully, and then put the sand into the hole. Buried.
When it returned to the folding chair again, the big fish in the water finally showed its body. The huge fish body and the mouth as big as the mouth of a bowl made the fishing guys around him instantly excited:
“Oh my god, has Uncle Sun caught the Dragon King?”
“What a big fish. If you have an Internet account, hurry up and take a video. Oh boy, this fish is really big.”
“Uncle Sun set a fishing record today. We witnessed history and it was quite rewarding.”
“Should I say it, the Yingchun Street Fishing Association is still very good. The two big fish today are the masterpieces of the Yingchun Street Fishing Association. I will join in later.”
“I’ll join in, fishing with such a president, it’s so exciting!”
“…”
Everyone held up their mobile phones and took pictures of Lao Suntou walking the fish. The fish on the other side had been dragged to the shore. It was a large herring weighing nearly forty pounds.
At this moment, people participating in fishing are stretching out their feet to take pictures with the fish.
This is a traditional program for fishermen. Usually when everyone catches fish, but can’t find a reference for a while, they use their own feet for comparison.
This has also given rise to some fake fishermen who buy some ultra-small versions of shoes from the Internet specifically for fishing comparison.
But there is no need to fake it today. In front of the big herring that is half a meter long, even Yao Ming can make his feet look like three-inch golden lotuses.
Lao Suntou pulled the fishing rod and finally pulled the fish to the shore.
But he no longer had the strength to pull the fish out, and the net was too small to catch it.
As a last resort, several fishermen went into the water and finally got this giant fat-headed fish to the shore.
“Damn, this fish is so big!”
The fishermen who had just finished taking pictures of the big blue carp raised their feet to take a photo with the fat-headed fish, only to realize that the gap was too big. Several fishermen who were good at estimating the weight thought that the fish must weigh 70 kilograms.
Although this reservoir has been open to the public for paid fishing projects, it has not been cleaned for more than ten years. Thousands of acres of water can indeed breed big fish.
Especially apart from fishing, other fishing methods have never been developed here, giving big fish a natural growth environment.
“Last time, those fishing kings who specialize in fishing in the reservoir came here. They struggled for several days without catching any fish. They also said that there were no big fish here. Unexpectedly, within a month, they were slapped in the face.”
Everyone came here today. They didn’t think about catching big fish, they just took advantage of the rest to relax their body and mind.
Unexpectedly, not only were there big fish, but two were also caught.
Soon, the owner of the reservoir heard about this and arrived in a hurry in a Land Cruiser.
When I saw the two fish I caught, I immediately started spreading smoke to everyone:
“What a master. Two such big fish came out at once, which is amazing.”
The fishing fees in this reservoir are relatively extensive. It costs 100 yuan a day, and you can take whatever you catch. There are no additional charges. This is very conscientious around the capital.
After clearing the cigarette, the boss asked the man who caught the herring:
“Can you give me this fish? How much does it cost? You tell me. I have been raising fish for so long and I haven’t eaten it yet. I am inviting friends to dinner today, so I can try it out.”
This fisherman lives in a rental house and doesn’t usually cook. Today he just joined in the fun.
As soon as I heard that the boss was recycling, he didn’t refuse.
The two discussed it and finally settled the deal for 1,888 yuan.
This is a reservoir fish that has never been fed with feed, and it is a herring with relatively delicious meat. The price is not high.
The reservoir owner paid the money and wanted to buy Lao Suntou’s fat-headed fish, but he was rejected:
“We are going to take this fish back and eat it ourselves, so we won’t sell it. I’m sorry.”
The boss is a bit unwilling to give up:
“Isn’t it difficult to cook such a big fish at home?”
Lao Sun took a sip of the boss’s soft Chinese powder and said with a smile:
“Instead of cooking it at home, we eat it in a restaurant, Lin Ji Food on Yingchun Street. They are good at cooking this kind of big fish.”
This fish was caught in partnership with Dundun, and several members of the association just helped to get it to the shore. This fish cannot be sold, so it has to be taken back and cooked for everyone to try together.
The owner of the reservoir is also a middle-aged old man who often surfs the Internet, so he naturally knows Linji Food:
“Since Boss Lin is doing it, this fat head can be regarded as reaching the peak of Yusheng… Hey, this cat doesn’t belong to Boss Lin’s family, right?”
Lao Suntou smiled:
“It’s that cat who knows everything. His name is Dundun. He’s smarter than my grandson.”
At this moment, the big fish has been caught, and he was exhausted from pulling the fish. Lao Suntou was ready to pack up and go back. He came here with pleasure and returned with pleasure. Isn’t this the purpose of fishermen?
He took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to Lin Ji Gourmet’s customer group. He also liked Lin Xu:
“We worked together with Dundun to catch such a fat-headed fish, what’s the best way to eat it?”
At this moment, Lin Xu was still busy cooking, and the phone was in Shen Jiayue’s hand.
“Ah, Uncle Sun caught another big fish. It’s bigger than a human. Do you want to eat it, Yan Bao?”
Chen Yan took a look and was a little surprised:
“Is Uncle Sun so good at fishing recently? I remember he was a veteran of the Air Force last year… How do you eat such a big fish?”
“There must be a way. Let’s try the flower basket and cold dishes first.”
Shen Jiayue saw that the food for the state banquet would take a while to be ready, so she played with her mobile phone, and then saw a short video of many people fishing in Fa Lao Sun Tou, which was a multi-camera and multi-angle display.
However, the fishing videos are not the focus. The focus is that because of the angle, every video shows Dundun squatting on a folding chair.
The little guy sat upright, like a little commander, which was in sharp contrast to the old Sun Tou next to him who was holding a fishing rod and gaiting his horse, grinning.
Shen Jiayue immediately found the clearest video to forward:
“I look so handsome when I sit upright!”
As soon as she retweeted it, netizens immediately gathered around and posted the video to trending posts.
“Hahaha, why do Uncle Sun and Dundun feel so inexplicably happy?”
“Human beings are struggling to death, and cats are sitting upright waiting to eat and drink… No wonder everyone wants to be a pet, and so do I!”
“This pet is urgently begging for a young lady aged 20-25 to take it in!”
“I can relax until I am 30 years old, please have mercy, big sister~”
“I can even relax until I am 40 years old. Please show your love to me, sisters and aunties!”
“I am a 37-year-old female with an eight-digit net worth. There are two mixing stations at home. Due to physical reasons, I am urgently looking for four strong cement loaders. I am interested in chatting privately!”
“…”
Wherever netizens hang out, jokesters are indispensable.
Soon, the bottom of the video became a battlefield for all kinds of demons and monsters to show off their talents.
Everyone in the Lin Ji Food Group was already excited. They had no idea that Lao Suntou could catch such a big fish. His fat body looked like a little pig lying on the ground.
On behalf of Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue clicked on Lao Sun’s head in the group:
“ @Uncle Sun, please be safe on the way here. Let’s have a fish feast tonight!”
Such a beautiful big fish, you have to eat one fish for thirteen or one fish for fifteen, otherwise you will not be able to forgive Uncle Sun’s grinning efforts.
At the shooting scene, Lin Xu removed the bones from the steamed duck, spread a layer of batter on one side of the duck, carefully put it into the oil pan, and started frying.
After frying, take it out, cut it into strips with a kitchen knife, add sweet chili sauce and salt and pepper dipping sauce, and a crispy duck is completed.
Then open the oven, take out the beggar’s chicken wrapped in tin foil and put it on a plate.
Use a knife to make a cross on the tinfoil, hold the four corners and fold them outward, then open the lotus leaf, and an alluring fragrance will waft out.
The umami flavor of chicken and lard are very rich, and the smell makes people greedy.
Expose the chicken, no need to tear it, just serve the whole chicken.
After finishing these tasks, and then making Longjing shrimps and West Lake vinegar fish, the whole table of dishes is basically complete.
Uncle Gao placed the flower basket of cold dishes in the middle, and then placed other dishes on the table one after another. The entire Hangzhou dinner table was officially completed.
Photographers gathered around to take close-ups. Lin Xu went to the side to drink water, and then learned from Shen Jiayue that Lao Suntou had caught a big fish.
As a half-fisherman, he deliberately opened the photo and looked at it.
For a fisherman, big fish can inspire fighting spirit the most, but for a chef, this kind of ingredient is extremely rare.
He now even has an idea of what to do with the whole fish.
Divide the fish head into pieces, make half of it into minced pepper fish head, and use the other half to make fish head steamed cakes. The fish brains are scooped out and steamed together with eggs to make fish brain steamed eggs.
Half of the fish scales are dry-fried, and the other half is boiled into fish scale jelly.
Fish spines are made into smoked fish, fish balls, raw fried fish fillets, and dried fish fillets; fish belly is made into raw baked, stewed and braised in sauce; fish fins and tails are stewed with tofu; fish bones and fish ribs are made into soup; and viscera Make it into dry pot fish offal.
A fish can soon be clearly arranged.
While I was thinking about it, the close-up shooting was completed.
Everyone gathered around, but they were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they held up their mobile phones to take pictures. Chen Yan even took a photo with the whole table of dishes. This state banquet was her favorite for so long.
Because it is not only artistic, but also very tempting. It is a perfect combination of art and food.
It wasn’t until everyone finished taking photos that everyone raised their chopsticks and started tasting.
Lin Xu tasted the beggar’s chicken. The meat was very tasty and juicy, especially the root of the drumstick. When it was torn off, the juice flowed straight down.
He pinched the drumstick, tasted it, and said to everyone:
“There are quite a few beggar’s chickens. Eat them while they’re hot. They’ll have to be reheated when they get cold. It’s really troublesome.”
The beggar’s chicken is greased with lard when it is made. It will smell fishy and be very greasy when it is cold, so it should be eaten while it is hot.
After nibbling on the chicken legs, Lin Xu took a small bowl of ham and Sichuan scallops and tasted them. The taste was indeed very delicious, especially the umami flavor of the ham with a hint of seafood flavor, which made it feel very comfortable to eat.
As for the eight-flavored small plates, the quality is also very good. The plates are relatively small and there are not many on the table, but when they are made, there is a lot of each dish, so that everyone present can taste it.
After tasting everything, we finally got to the flower basket and cold dishes.
Lin Xu first took a fish roll from the side of the flower basket and tasted it.
Although it has been cold, the fish roll does not have any fishy smell and still retains the deliciousness of seafood, and the ingredients rolled inside also taste very delicious.
In addition to the fish tacos, the various flower petals also taste extraordinary.
The Dengying beef is crispy and crunchy when chewed, while the large yellow croaker fillet is tender and delicious.
“This dish is so beautiful that I can’t bear to eat it.”
“Me too, I’ve never seen such a beautiful dish.”
Zeng Xiaoqi said she was reluctant to eat it, but she struck harder than anyone else. She used her chopsticks to pull off the entire handle of the flower basket and chewed it like a spicy strip.
The handle of the flower basket is rolled up with a mixture of cucumber strips, carrot strips, fish skin, beef and other ingredients. When you take one bite, you will find something crispy, crispy, tough, waxy…a variety of tastes are mixed together, and then added The different flavors of various ingredients are served, and it is very enjoyable to eat.
“I found that this handle is very good for drinking. Please try it, baby Yan.”
Zeng Xiaoqi placed the lower half of the handle on the plate and cut it into small sections with a table knife.
Everyone picked it up and tasted it separately, and found that the taste was indeed very good and suitable for drinking. Even Shen Jiayue wanted to drink kvass after tasting it.
After trying all the dishes, Lin Xu took a piece of chrysanthemum cake and ate it in a few bites, and said to Shen Jiayue:
“Let’s go back. There are big fish today, so we have to go back early to clean them up.”
After saying that, he said to Uncle Gao and Xie Baomin:
“Uncle Sun caught a fat-headed fish weighing six to seventy kilograms. Let’s go to the store to have dinner together later. I’m going to make a full fish feast.”
Uncle Gao smiled and said:
“Old Sun is very good. I won’t go. I will attend a cocktail party with Mrs. You later. She is planning to expand other businesses, and I will follow as a translator.”
Yo, are you meeting a foreigner?
Just as he was talking, Uncle Gao’s cell phone rang. He went to the side to answer the phone, and when he came back he said feebly:
“I’d better go to the store to eat fish. I won’t be allowed to attend the cocktail party.”
Shen Jiayue became curious:
“Then who will be the translator for Master Wife?”
“Lucy…she went to work as a translator and is currently looking for someone to borrow an evening gown at Peking University.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yan took the initiative to contact Lucy:
“You want to wear evening clothes?”
“Yes, I asked several people to borrow it, but they all said they didn’t have it. Some people were worried that my clothes would stretch out and were unwilling to lend them to me.”
Chen Yan smiled helplessly, who gave you such a good figure?
She said:
“I’ll send you a location later. You can go there and try them on. Pick two suitable ones and have someone measure them for you. I’ll customize one for you later.”
People in his circle actually had to borrow evening gowns to attend a cocktail party. It was embarrassing to go out, so Chen Yan planned to give away a few sets.
Lucy expressed her gratitude and even wanted to work with Chen Yan, but was rejected.
“Mr. Luo asked you to be a translator. Will you be paid?”
Chen Yan changed the topic and started talking about the gossip between the love rivals.
“She asked me to quote whatever I wanted, but I directly quoted two thousand yuan, which made the capitalist a huge profit!”
Zeng Xiaoqi on the side couldn’t help but cover her forehead.
If I remember correctly, the price for a single session of this kind of business translation starts at least 50,000 yuan, and if confidentiality clauses are involved, the price will be even higher.
Such a good opportunity to harvest sheep was unexpectedly turned into a good deed by this Scottish genius like going to the countryside to help the poor. The Leshan Giant Buddha had to give up his seat to her.
Aunt Luo Shan probably asked Lucy to be a translator because she knew she didn’t understand the market, so the asking price couldn’t be much higher.
I was really pinched to death.
Soon, everyone left Yanjing Hotel and went to Linji Food to eat fish.
By the time Lin Xu parked the car, Lao Suntou had already driven there, followed by several cars, all of which were people participating in fishing today.
Opening the trunk of the Tank 300, Lin Xu saw the huge fat-headed fish.
“Did you weigh it? How many pounds?”
“71 pounds and 3 taels, a record-breaking weight.”
Old Suntou had a proud look on his face. He had been fishing for so long, and today was the pinnacle moment of his fishing career.
In fact, even without this big fish, he still fished a lot. Other carp, grass carp and the like also weighed more than 20 kilograms, but the more than 20 kilograms were far less shocking than this big fish.
Lin Xu called the kitchen, and soon Che Zai and Zhu Yong rushed over pushing the trolley they usually used to transport vegetables.
Seeing this fish, the two of them were also shocked.
Everyone was busy lifting the fish onto the trolley, and when they were about to push it into the store, Dundun nimbly jumped on the head of the fat-headed fish, like Jack Sparrow standing on the bow of the Black Pearl.
“Hey, this little guy is so cool!”
“Just like a captain.”
“Let Dundun have a taste of big fish later.”
“It must be, it likes to eat fish the most.”
When he came to the store, Dundun jumped off the fish and immediately felt something sticky on his claws. He jumped and rubbed it on the carpet next to him. Then he ran to the service counter and meows angrily to Shu Yun to catch it. Big fish thing.
Although Shu Yun couldn’t understand what the little guy was talking about, but in line with the principle of praising Dundun before everything was decided, the mother and son answered questions and had a very good conversation.
When he came upstairs, Lin Xu thought of netizens complaining about not updating the video, and said to Che Zai:
“Let’s make a small kitchen. I’ll film the process of making a whole fish feast. If you don’t update the video, netizens will have opinions.”
“okay!”
The big fish was delivered to the small kitchen, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan started busy setting up the filming equipment, and Xie Baomin and Uncle Gao began to show how to eat each part.
Not only the fishermen like such a big fish, but the chefs are also very excited. After all, they don’t cook it often, so everyone is eager to try it.
Soon, the equipment was ready, and the big fish was carefully cleaned in the large pool, scrubbing away the dirt on the surface.
“let’s start?”
After the filming officially started, several people carried the fish to the operating table, made an opening speech, and then prepared to cook it.
“Master, can I eat fish blood?”
Xie Baomin asked curiously.
Uncle Gao shook his head:
“It’s okay to eat it, but it’s too cold, so generally no one eats it.”
As soon as he heard this, Xie Baomin gave up the idea of collecting the fish’s blood. He stabbed the fat-headed fish in the heart and started bleeding while pressing the fish’s head.
Then, the three masters and apprentices began to make a whole fish feast!
