The next day, when Zheng Gan woke up, he found that his arms and thighs were still a little sore. It seemed that fishing outside for three days was indeed a great burden on his body, especially the three big tunas. If it weren't for Lin Hao and so many fishermen helping him, Zheng Gan probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed now.
So he decided to take a day off today to replenish his energy, just as if the company was on holiday. And it just so happened that Qiao Xin wanted to edit the videos of her fishing trip at home.
Why do other big guys all carry some solid pills or body-building pills, but I have nothing?
"Brother Gan, if we don't go out today, let's have a barbecue at home." Lin Hao came to Zheng Gan with a licking face.
"Barbecue?" Zheng Gan was stunned. He hadn't eaten it for a long time. When he was working outside, he didn't have money and couldn't afford to eat it. Now that he had the chance, it should be quite nice to eat it once.
"Okay, then you go find some place to buy meat. You want lamb, beef, and pork belly. Better quality meat. I'll go to the village purchasing point to see if there's any seafood I can buy."
They acted immediately and Zheng Gan and Lin Hao went to prepare the ingredients separately.
Xiaohai Village has its own dock. During the fishing season, the fishing boats will sell some high-value seafood to seafood dealers, and those with slightly lower value will be sold to the village's purchasing station.
However, it is the fishing moratorium now, so the purchasing station usually buys some small seafood caught by the women in the village.
"Busy, Uncle Gong?"
Zheng Gan came in and greeted them.
Zheng Gong, the owner of the purchasing station, was the one Lin Gang brought with him to sell sea cucumbers before.
"It's Agan, you're a rare visitor," Zheng Gong, the owner of the purchasing station, was a little surprised. He rarely saw Zheng Gan here. "What would you like to buy?"
"I'm planning to have a barbecue at home today, and I want to see if there's anything good at our station."
Zheng Gong said with some embarrassment, "It's the fishing ban season now, so there's very little seafood. All that's left are some clams and the like."
"Well, it looks like we won't be able to find any snacks to go with the wine today." Zheng Gan also understood, but he had to try his luck. Since he couldn't buy anything, he would think of another way.
"If you want something to go with your wine, I have something else here. Come and have a look." When Zheng Gong heard that it was something to go with wine, he quickly stopped Zheng Gan who was about to leave and took him to a big barrel.
"What?" Zheng Gan asked curiously.
Zheng Gong opened the lid of the barrel and showed Zheng Gan what was inside.
"Crayfish? That's good." Zheng Gan said in surprise. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected harvest. It's the right time to eat crayfish in this season.
Crayfish with beer, wow.
Zheng Gan drooled just thinking about it.
"How much is one pound, Uncle Gong?"
"Fifteen yuan per pound, and these are all big ones." Zheng Gong was afraid that he would think the price was expensive, so he hurriedly explained.
"Give me ten pounds."
Zheng Gan paid the money and returned to Lin Hao's house with the crayfish. He called Qiao Xin and asked her to come over for barbecue in the evening, then started to prepare the crayfish.
As for why they had to start eating at night, it was because so many crayfish and the meat that Lin Hao bought needed time to process, especially the crayfish. By the time he finished processing them, it would probably be dark.
It was two full hours later that Lin Hao returned with a lot of bags.
"You went for a foot massage, why did you come back just now? I've already finished my lunch." Zheng Gan scolded without even raising his head.
"Hmm? Does Ahao have this special hobby?"
"Wait for me to tell your dad, kid."
Zheng Gan was startled when he heard the voice and quickly raised his head. He was shocked to see that the people who spoke were Wang Dongqiang and Xia Xihai.
"Uncle Qiang, Uncle Xia, why are you here?"
"I just ran into Hao at the market. He said you guys were having a barbecue today, so I came to join in the fun."
"I happened to be in his shop at the time, and since I hadn't seen Lao Lin for a while, I came over to have a few drinks with him."
Zheng Gan glanced at Lin Hao who was pretending to be a coward, and was really angry. It was not that Zheng Gan did not welcome him, but he should have called in advance. He didn't even know if the things he prepared were enough.
"I'm so happy that the two elders can come. I was thinking of going to the county in a few days to treat the two uncles to a meal. Today is a coincidence. I will accompany the two uncles to have a drink. Haozi, let's go buy some things." When it comes to speaking polite words, Zheng Gan is still quite capable.
"You don't have to buy anything. I brought the seafood, and Lao Xia brought the wine. You can call your father-in-law and his family, and we can get together." After Wang Dongqiang finished speaking, he took out the things.
Xia Xihai also went back to the car and got two boxes of wine.
"Wow, Uncle Qiang and Uncle Xia, we are too extravagant."
Wang Dongqiang brought all kinds of high-end seafood, including large abalone, swimming crabs, four big Australian lobsters, and even some sashimi.
The two boxes of wine from Xia Xihaidai are also Liuliangye.
"This sashimi is from the bluefin tuna you caught. I specially asked the buyer for some."
Wang Dongqiang sold the bluefin tuna to a Japanese restaurant in the city overnight and brought a few back with him.
"Haozi, call your uncle and aunt to come back, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to come and help." Zheng Gan couldn't handle so many things in a day by himself, so he had to call for help.
What was originally just a snack to satisfy a craving turned into a large-scale dinner party.
Soon, Qiao Xin's family and Lin Gang and his wife came over. The four old men were drinking tea in the yard, so Zheng Gan and Lin Hao had to start preparing dinner with the ladies.
After a busy afternoon, the barbecue dinner finally began.
Zheng Gan was the main griller, Lin Hao was helping him, and everyone else sat at the table, along with the appetizers. In addition to the spicy crayfish, there were also high-end seafood brought by Wang Dongqiang, plus the dishes cooked by Qiao Xin and the others, making the table full.
"Agan, why are you grilling so slowly? One person can't finish more than a few skewers." Everyone ate for a long time and found that they only ate vegetables and didn't eat much barbecue or grilled meat.
"Are you kidding? I've grilled at least a hundred skewers in just this short while! If you don't believe me, ask Lin Hao." Zheng Gan said unhappily. He worked so hard grilling, and they actually thought it was not enough.
"Yes... chewing sound... Brother Gan is right, chewing sound, I have sent a lot of it over." Lin Hao's mouth was full and he could hardly speak clearly.
It's obvious from the looks of it that the meat has been stolen by this guy.
"Okay, okay, let's play it this way, eh?" With so many elders here, Zheng Gan could only suppress the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth, and he jumped up and rolled together with Lin Hao, full of gay passion.
