The four of them came down from the mountain. The tide had just gone out, and there were quite a few marine products on the beach.
A gentle sea breeze blew by, and the air was filled with the smell of the sea.
Before Sang Ning and his group could even react to the sight of the seafood, the audience erupted in excitement.
[What a huge crab! Ningning, hurry up and go pick some so we can have crab for lunch!]
I saw a long, silvery-white sea creature. It looked quite beautiful, but I wonder if it's edible.
Sang Ning also saw that there was a chance to catch crabs, lobsters, scallops, and octopuses while beachcombing, and if you were lucky, you could even find grouper.
The only thing that's hard to find is the ribbonfish, which is caught by beachcombing.
But now, a ribbonfish has appeared in a shallow puddle on the beach, and it would be a shame not to pick it up.
Even if you pick it up, without ice to keep it fresh, in the current weather, this ribbonfish won't last until noon.
Unless you cook and eat the ribbonfish right away.
Thinking about food, she asked, "Would you like to eat ribbonfish sashimi?"
What is ribbonfish sashimi?
Monet and the others exchanged glances and said in unison, "Let's eat! Whatever it is, as long as it's edible."
"Hold on!"
After saying that, Sang Ning ran to the puddle and scooped up the ribbonfish that was still alive but had lost its spirit.
This ribbonfish is quite large, weighing over a pound. After being pulled out of the water, its silvery-white body shone brightly in the sunlight.
Holy crap, this thing is actually a fish.
[I didn't know before that many of these fish called ribbonfish here are actually sea snakes, the poisonous kind. When we see them, we don't think of eating them; we either kill them or carefully return them to the sea.]
[To the two people upstairs, are you residents of those famous tourist destinations on Ocean Star?]
Yes, we don't have much else here, but we have plenty of seafood and seawater of all colors.
[Are there as many as on our planet? The highest recorded display of seven colors in the same area of our oceans is here; the beauty of blooming sea lotuses is beyond words.]
[Really? When do the sea lotus flowers bloom? I'm planning a trip there.]
[Sure! Next month is the blooming season for sea lilies. Come visit, I'll show you around, and you can stay at my place; I live alone.]
[Add me! I don't care if I stay at your place or not, but it's just that playing alone is no fun. I'd like to find a few more people I get along with to hang out with.]
While Sang Ning was busy slicing ribbonfish to make sashimi, the viewers in the live stream started discussing travel.
When she prepared the ribbonfish sashimi and laid it on the banana leaves that Luo Tianya had picked and washed, arranging it beautifully, the audience had already made plans to meet up in person.
As they prepared to discuss activities after the offline meeting, Sang Ning mixed wild garlic peeled by Monaine, minced ginger chopped by Fimmonloya, and other ingredients such as small red chilies with soy sauce and vinegar to make a dipping sauce for eating ribbonfish sashimi.
You can eat ribbonfish as sashimi, and it tastes pretty good, but there's a catch: it has to be live ribbonfish that's just been caught in the sea.
Ribbonfish are a rather delicate fish; they die quickly once out of the sea. Therefore, fishermen will immediately freeze them when they catch them.
Fresh ribbonfish is not suitable for sashimi because it has a strong fishy smell.
However, live ribbonfish that have just come out of the sea do have a fishy smell, but it's very faint. After processing them, rolling them in sauce completely masks the fishy smell.
All that's left when you eat it is the freshness and tenderness of fresh ribbonfish.
Combined with the flavor of the sauce, it's incredibly delicious.
"tasty."
After eating a piece of ribbonfish sashimi, Monet exclaimed in delight, "This ribbonfish is so tender!"
As she spoke, she said to Sang Ning, "Ningning, how about we finish cleaning the salt field and pick up a few more ribbonfish to cook and eat?"
"Can't find it."
Sang Ning swallowed the ribbonfish in his mouth and said, "Ribbonfish have to be caught at sea. Although their waters are not particularly deep, they are still between 60 and 100 meters deep. Finding ribbonfish in shallow water is a matter of luck."
Or maybe they were incredibly lucky.
Upon hearing that they needed to go out to sea to catch ribbonfish, Luo Tianya's first reaction was not to be afraid, because Louis was there.
After all, this is someone who can ride a giant sea turtle, so it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find a giant sea turtle to carry them to the sea to catch some ribbonfish.
However, he was a hater of Louis and therefore unwilling to give him a chance to shine.
So, let's just forget about it.
It's impossible for him to give Louis a chance to shine, even if he doesn't play the ribbonfish.
Thinking of this, Luo Tianya swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Monet and the others fell silent and focused on cooking the ribbonfish.
The ribbonfish looked quite large, but after being sliced into sashimi and divided among four people, there wasn't much left. In less than five minutes, the entire ribbonfish was reduced to just the head, tail, and a bone.
Luo Tianya couldn't bear to waste any of the sauce, so when Sang Ning wasn't looking, he picked it up and poured it into his mouth, then gulped it down in a few gulps.
Sang Ning, who was talking to Monet, heard the unusual noise and came back to see what was going on. Good heavens, Luo Tianya was smacking his lips in remembrance.
Sang Ning's lips twitched slightly. "Is it salty?"
"A little, but acceptable."
He smiled and said, "Consider it a way to replenish my salt levels."
Okay.
Sang Ning had nothing to say, packed his things, and told them to leave.
Not far away, several large crabs were digging in the sand, trying to settle down. Fimonloa's feet seemed rooted to the spot, and she kept her eyes fixed on the crabs as she asked Sang Ning, "Ningning, are we really not going to pick up those crabs?"
"If we don't eat the crabs we pick up while we're working, they'll die. And dead crabs don't taste good, so it's not worth it. There's plenty of food in the sea. There are a lot of tuna in the volcanic rock area, and other seafood too. We're not short of food."
The implication is that we should stop focusing on those poor crabs.
Fimonloa understood. After giving a reluctant "oh," she followed Sang Ning and the others away, glancing back every few steps.
His eyes were filled with lingering affection, and his expression was full of reluctance.
Her audience was laughing their heads off.
【Son, broaden your perspective. As someone who works in the ocean, don't begrudge losing a few crabs. Even if you lose these few, there are countless others waiting for your pity. There's really no need to be so attached to them.】
[Exactly, you should learn from Sang Ning. Look how calm and collected she is. I feel like even if a giant blue whale appeared in front of her, she would still remain as composed as ever.]
The stranded whale Sang Ning can indeed remain calm, but if she encounters a live blue whale in the sea, she cannot remain calm; she will only feel excitement or fear.
Unfortunately, since coming into this world, she has never seen a whale, let alone a dolphin.
I don't even know if there are any dolphins.
As Sang Ning walked, she thought to herself, and her pace quickened without her realizing it. Seeing her speed up, Luo Tianya and the others also sped up.
But as they walked, they realized something was wrong.
Why is Sang Ning's speed increasing?
Is it because she has long legs?
No, in terms of height, she is the shortest of the four. The petite Monet is 175 cm tall, and Fimmonloa, needless to say, is over 180 cm tall.
Luo Tianya is 193cm, while Sang Ning is even shorter than 170cm.
