"Two kilograms of blue crab?"
"Is it true that there are still blue crabs this heavy?"
"Where is it? Didn't you bring the blue crabs with you when you came?" Old Man Lin and others asked Lu Chuanbei and the others excitedly.
Lu Chuanbei: "No, it's still at the villa."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and bring it here."
"That's right, you all have things to barter, but you don't take them back. You're just wasting our time!"
"Then I'll go get it?" Lu Chuanbei asked tentatively.
"Go ahead, hurry up."
In this way, the big blue crab was not eaten by Song Tiantian and her friends in the end, so it was replaced with lychees and other fruits. Then, they rented a small fishing boat for an afternoon.
That's right, after knowing that except for the seafood caught at sea and the vegetables and fruits in the villa yard can be bought for free, any other fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. in the village must be exchanged for barter, Lu Chuanbei and others finally decided not to lie down.
After all, they can make do with the ingredients in the villa and the seafood caught at sea, but they can't let their children have to make do with them.
For this reason, Lu Chuanbei and his friends exchanged for the right to use a fishing boat. Although it could only be used for one afternoon, as long as they could catch a few fish at sea...
It is important to have dreams, but what is more important now is to have a hearty lunch. Only when they are full and satisfied will they have the energy to go out to sea to fish.
So, Xu Qi brought back five pounds of pork belly and hurriedly cooked rice, preparing a good meal of braised pork and a few side dishes for a delicious meal.
Lu Chuanbei brought Song Tiantian and others to the small vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.
"Dad, we have tomatoes here." Song Tiantian pointed at a few bright red tomatoes and shouted to Lu Chuanbei in surprise.
"Here it comes." Lu Chuanbei walked over and took a look: "Not bad, it's all red."
"Then let's take it off."
"Okay, do you want to pick it yourself?"
"Yeah." Song Tiantian stretched out her little hand and carefully picked the three red tomatoes.
Not only tomatoes, there are also cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, greens, peppers, etc. in the vegetable garden.
Song Tiantian looked at the bright red chili peppers and looked at Lu Chuanbei eagerly: "Dad, when can I eat chili peppers?"
"You?" Lu Chuanbei glanced at Xiaomila, who was being stared at by Song Tiantian, and couldn't help but rub her head with a smile: "Want to try it?"
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded quickly and looked at Lu Chuanbei expectantly: "Is it okay?"
"Hmm..." Lu Chuanbei pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, but I can only taste a little bit."
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded quickly, afraid that if she ordered too slowly, Lu Chuanbei would disagree again.
Lu Chuanbei looked at her amusedly: "You've never eaten spicy food, why do you want to try it so much?"
"I just want to try it because I've never had it before. Besides, I've seen a lot of people on TV like spicy food, so I want to try it too."
"That's fine, but if you start crying from the spiciness, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Shall I have some coconut milk first?"
"Yes, coconut milk can relieve spiciness just like milk, and it's also good for your stomach."
After returning to the villa, Lu Chuanbei opened a few coconuts for them, poured out the coconut milk, leaving only the coconut meat inside, and then used a blender to beat it into a pulp, poured it into gauze and squeezed it out hard. The thick milky white liquid was the pure coconut milk that Lu Chuanbei wanted.
Of course, if you don’t have many coconuts on hand, you can also directly use coconut milk and coconut meat to make coconut milk. However, the coconut milk you drink this way will not taste as good as the coconut milk made from pure coconut meat, and it is more mellow.
"Okay." Lu Chuanbei poured everyone a cup of the squeezed coconut milk: "Everyone, let's drink some coconut milk first."
As he said that, he handed the cup in his hand to Song Tiantian: "Come, try the coconut milk made by dad."
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded quickly, took the cup and took a sip.
Pure coconut milk has a soft and silky taste without the milky smell of dairy products. The rich coconut milk aroma makes you want to drink it again and again.
Song Tiantian held the cup and gulped down half a cup before she raised her head from the cup and looked at Lu Chuanbei: "Dad, the coconut milk you make is better than the ones I buy!"
Fang Xiuzhu on the side also said: "The freshly squeezed coconut milk bought outside, no matter how smooth the juice is, there will be some coconut pulp, and the taste is not as rich and mellow as yours."
"Yeah, why are they all coconut milk? The taste is so different." He Xuebin finished a glass and couldn't help but pour himself another one.
"That's because I use pure coconut milk. This method of coconut milk extracts the essence of the coconut fruit. How can it not taste better than what is made outside?"
As he spoke, Lu Chuanbei looked at the coconut shells scattered on the ground beside him: "It's just that the method used a lot of coconuts."
"What's Fei Yezi afraid of?" Xu Qi said hurriedly, "The thing we have the most here is coconuts."
"Yes, with such delicious coconut milk, it's no big deal to waste coconuts."
Fang Xiuzhu said directly: "When we come back from the sea this afternoon, we can go to Uncle Lin and the others to exchange some coconuts."
"I think it's okay." Xu Qi quickly agreed, "Change more when the time comes."
After drinking coconut milk, lunch is ready.
The main dish for lunch, braised pork, used up most of the pork belly they had exchanged for.
Not only that, the remaining small portion was not wasted. Xu Qi made it all into stir-fried zucchini with pork belly and minced meat with eggplant.
In addition to these, there are also seafood that Song Tiantian and her friends caught in the morning, which were also made into steamed crabs, braised octopus and garlic clams.
In order to satisfy Song Tiantian's desire to eat some chili peppers, Xu Qi specially prepared a slightly spicy dipping sauce for Tiantian to try.
Of course, the adults also have one, but the spiciness is a bit increased.
Finally, add a dish of lettuce with soy sauce and a pot of fragrant white rice, and a hearty lunch with meat, vegetables and seafood is ready.
[This feast makes me hungry again...]
I didn't expect that yesterday, Lu Chuanbei and the others were still eating rice porridge and egg fried rice, but today they've suddenly changed their ways.
[Wow, it's such a sumptuous meal. Could it be that they prepared this meal and ate all the dishes?]
[It seems to be true. There doesn't seem to be much food left in the kitchen, and there's not a single piece of meat left, let alone seafood. I'm afraid the only thing left is the kelp. Everything else is probably on the table...]
[They don't plan to eat this meal and not care about the next one, right?]
[That's not the case, but if they don't catch any fish this afternoon, there won't be much left for the next meal...]
The last bit of pork belly soup on the table was eaten up by He Xuebin and Xu Qi by mixing it with rice.
Not to mention the other dishes, all of them were finished.
Some are so clean that you could almost think they had been washed.
"Huh~" He Xuebin touched his stomach and said with satisfaction, "I've been rushing to catch the plane since yesterday morning, and I finally have a good meal."
"Yeah." Xu Qi glanced at the drone nearby. "I don't think there will be other guests like us, traveling all the way to an island to record a show, not only without accommodation, but also having to pay for it ourselves."
"Besides all this, he just left us and walked away without even leaving us any food!"
"And this bartering thing has been plotting against us from the very beginning..."
For a moment, the entire restaurant was filled with voices criticizing the production team. Director Liu rubbed his nose and looked at the people in the live studio who were clearly talking about him. He couldn't help but snort a few times, "Go ahead and curse me! I don't believe you can pull off another upset this time."
After Haidao's first friendly conversation with the program crew, the friendship between Lu Chuanbei and the others progressed rapidly.
After cleaning up the dishes and leaving Xu Qi at home to look after the children, the others prepared to set off for the dock to go fishing.
Although Xu Qi was also eager to conquer the sea of stars, he gave up immediately when he thought about his seasickness, which even seasickness medicine couldn't cure. "You guys go ahead, I'll take care of it back home."
"Okay, let's go." Fang Xiuzhu said, glancing at the little ones behind him and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of these ones at home."
"Don't worry, they are just a few kids, I can still take care of them."
[People who say this probably haven't had much experience raising children, right?]
"My two children are enough to take care of, and Director Xu has to take care of four by himself? I can already imagine the chaotic scene."
[Not only that, Director Xu also set a flag. Normally, this kind of situation would fail, but I don’t know Director Xu…]
[Hahaha, it seems everyone is like me, not optimistic about Director Xu staying home to look after the kids!]
Director Xu can cook, but taking care of children...
In the face of fans' pessimism, Xu Qi sent Lu Chuanbei and others away.
For a moment, the only people left in the yard were Xu Qi and four energetic little guys.
When He Jingnian saw He Xuebin walking away, he immediately jumped up and cheered: "Great, my dad and the others are gone, let's go out and play later!"
"Play?" Xu Qi suddenly felt uneasy.
Xu Anjia on the side responded quickly: "Okay, okay, I saw a lot of beautiful flowers growing here this morning. Let's pick them and dye our nails later!"
"Dye your fingernails?" Song Tiantian looked at Xu Anjia curiously: "Can the little flowers here also dye their nails?"
"It should be possible. The flowers here are so beautiful, the dyed fingernails will definitely look good too." Xu Anjia said and nodded in self-affirmation.
Xu Qi looked at his little girl and said, "Girl, whether or not you can paint your nails has nothing to do with the beauty of the flowers."
[Director Xu, don't you think there's something wrong with the direction of your attention?]
