Chapter 724: This will not happen again
What Jiangxia caught this time was an emperor grouper!
Father Zhou: "Oh my God! My God of Wealth! You caught an emperor starfish!"
Very rare grouper.
She is also very beautiful.
This fish is even rarer than the eastern grouper.
He can catch several Eastern Grouper every year, but the Emperor Grouper is really rare! He can see it once or twice a year at the dock.
Scarcity makes things valuable. This fish is more expensive than the grouper.
Father Zhou heard that this fish tastes better than grouper.
He had never eaten it, but he caught one many years ago and sold it for more than a dollar. He and his wife were secretly happy for a month.
At that time, we were very poor to raise so many children. We sold the better fish we caught, and the ones we kept for ourselves were the cheapest ones that no one would buy. It was not like now, when we had three or four different meat dishes every day and could eat meat in big mouthfuls, without having to pick out the fish heads, tails, and fins. I said I only liked to eat the fish heads, tails, and fins, and I thought of leaving the meat for the children.
Old Xu said shamelessly: "Look! Although I waited a little long, I caught the emperor grouper. I will kill you in seconds!"
Mr. Mai hit him mercilessly: "Don't flatter yourself. Did you catch it? It was Xia Xia who caught it."
Old Xu said shamelessly: "I think the fish just took the bait, and Xia Xia took it!"
Mr. Mai: "Do you still have any shame?"
Mr. Xu: "I've never had this before."
Everyone was amused by him.
Mr. Xu continued to express his philosophy of life: "What's the point of having a face? Only those who are shameless can make big money!"
Mr. Mai: "No wonder you are so rich, you made it by being shameless!"
Everyone laughed again!
Mr. Xu: "Back then, Lao Mai and I sneaked into Hong Kong Island together. We survived and made money by being shameless. To be honest, Lao Mai is richer than me, so he is more shameless! You don't know!"
Mr. Mai hit back with precision: "I am richer than you, but that's because I don't have a wife to support and I have no place to spend the money I earn. You have families all over the world, and your wife and children can form a company to fight in the war. How can I compare with you, a playboy!"
Mr. Xu: “…”
"Ha ha……"
"Ha ha……"
…
Everyone couldn't help laughing!
After Zhou's father finished laughing, he looked at the sea and immediately reminded Mr. Xu: "Boss Xu, there's a fish on the hook!"
Mr. Xu took a closer look: It's true!!! Finally a fish has been hooked! Mr. Mai also took a look: "It's different after changing to Xia Xia's fishing rod. Finally it's open!"
"Yes, yes, yes! If you don't open for three years, you can make a living for three years after you open. I estimate that what will happen next will be faster than yours before, so just wait! I didn't get the title of Fishing King for nothing." Old Xu happily pulled the fish up.
It is a green robe that is khaki in color with blue stripes.
When Mr. Xu saw this, his eyes lit up.
The Pig-tooth Tsing Yi is one of the four king fishes in Hong Kong Island! Its biggest feature, besides its special color, is that it has buck teeth, like the tusks of a wild boar, which is probably why it got such a name.
Old Xu said excitedly: "This fish is delicious! The fish head is especially delicious!"
Father Zhou smiled and said, "This fish is delicious. The fish chin is the most delicious. The fish meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth."
Mr. Mai: "You are lucky to have caught one of your favorite fish."
“The fish in this sea area are of good quality!”
Neither the Emperor's Starfish nor the Pig's Tooth Greenfish are common fish.
There are more in the rich Xisha Islands.
Father Zhou was a little proud: "Of course!"
This is the blessed sea! The rich sea!
Would the sea area rented by Wangcai be bad? Jiang Xia threw out the bait: "It's probably because of the corals on the seabed that these two kinds of fish are attracted here."
Mr. Mai's excited voice sounded again: "I have another fish on the hook!"
Father Zhou: “I have one too!”
While the two were busy catching the fish.
The driver and Zhang Dejun also caught some fish.
After they all caught the fish, Jiang Xia caught another fish.
It's just one after another,
Overwhelmed!
…
By the time Zhou Chenglei and two other comrades came back from prying abalone from the seabed, they had each caught a cage of fish and put them in the sea to keep! One of the comrades looked at their trophies with an incredulous look on his face: "Were all these caught?"
It's only been half an hour, right? Even pulling the net won't catch this many fish!
Zhang Dejun nodded frantically: "Today's fish look like they have been hungry for a year. As soon as the bait is thrown down, it takes the bait in less than a minute! As soon as it is thrown down, it takes the bait in less than a minute! It's like they are scrambling to bite the hook! Look, another fish has taken the bait! Damn! It's a big fish!"
Father Zhou also said excitedly: "I have a fish hooked here too!"
Mr. Mai: "Haha! I have one too!"
The two comrades heard this and immediately said, "Let's fish too!"
The two of them hurriedly put the seafood they caught into the kitchen.
Seeing that Jiang Xia was not there, Zhou Chenglei guessed that she was probably in the kitchen preparing lunch, so he also went to the kitchen carrying a net bag of abalone.
When we arrived at the kitchen, Jiang Xia and Mr. Xu were busy in the kitchen.
Old Xu is processing octopus. He plans to cook it into sashimi. The octopus, which is just caught and still alive, tastes so delicious when cooked into sashimi that it will make your mouth water.
You won’t be able to eat such delicious octopus sashimi even in the most high-end restaurants.
After all, the octopus in high-end restaurants is caught by fishing boats, quickly frozen, and then transported to the restaurant.
No matter how impressive the quick-freezing technology is, it is not as good as eating a fresh one.
Mr. Xu said that he was in charge of handling all the fish, and Jiang Xia, who was usually the head chef, became the assistant chef.
Mr. Xu is a foodie. Unlike Mr. Mai, he spends all his free time looking for his wife and children. He works hard to make the group famous around the world and to allow his wife to see and find him.
Apart from working hard, Mr. Xu enjoys life and food, so his cooking skills are very good.
Therefore, although the two are of the same age, Mr. Xu looks much younger, while Mr. Mai already has half of his hair gray and feels ten or eight years older than Mr. Xu.
Zhou Chenglei put the abalone down and asked: "How do you plan to eat the abalone? Steam it or stew it with chicken? I'll take care of it."
Jiang Xia told him: "Let's have seafood hotpot for lunch."
Mr. Xu: "Just prepare the abalone, remove the internal organs, and clean it. Leave the rest to me."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Grandpa Jiang said that Mr. Xu is a great chef. The signature dishes in the restaurant and hotel he opened were all developed by him."
Mr. Xu: "Just listen to his bragging. He cooks better. When we first arrived in Hong Kong Island, he was a chef."
Just now, Mr. Mai wanted to come and help, but Mr. Xu didn't let him and deliberately said some words of disdain towards him.
Who made him so pitiful? He had never been so relaxed in his life! He had forgotten how many years it had been since he had seen such a relaxed smile on his old friend's face. He was even in the mood to joke with him.
At this time, the excited voice of Mr. Mai came from outside: "Big fish! I caught a big fish! Come and help me, I'm not strong enough!"
"Oh my god! Mr. Mai, you caught a giant grouper!"
"Be careful, slow down, and relax! Don't let it get away!"
…
Mr. Xu regretted it!
If I had known, I would have let Mr. Mai cook! Anyway, he came to cook to spend more time with his granddaughter, why should he stop him? Humph! This is just the first time, and it will never happen again! I wish my friends a happy Dragon Boat Festival, happiness every day, prosperity every day, and good luck every time~ (End of this chapter)
