And today is destined to be their harvest day.
As soon as he got ashore, Lin Yinghou rushed up excitedly and hugged him tightly, with her face full of excitement. Without much guessing, he knew that the harvest of conch and seashells must be good.
No, it's not "should be good", it's very good. Although we didn't find the giant clams that we ate this morning, we did pick up a lot of large conches. There were more than ten or twenty of them in the field. It is said that this is the number left after Queen Lin and others threw the smaller ones back into the sea.
The joy of the abundant harvest made everyone's steps lighter, and they all actively joined in the cooking of their lunch. The preparation of sea fish was more complicated, and was still handled by Queen Lin and Yu Yu.
As for the conchs and seashells, the big men volunteered to cook them, saying they would knock out all the meat inside the conchs and save it for grilling later.
Conch meat is relatively tough, and it probably won't be particularly tasty if steamed or boiled. In addition, they are short of seasonings, so roasting it might be a good choice.
But after thinking about it, Yu Yu offered a suggestion. He suggested that the conch meat should be cooked in boiling water until it is 80% cooked, and then the conch shell should be smashed. This would make it easier to take out the conch meat. Later, the conch meat could be baked with some salt.
As for the sea fish, the cooking methods are much more diverse. There are nine sea fish in total. Queen Lin suggested making fish soup with the two smallest ones, and half roasting and half steaming the rest.
Yu Yu also thought this was a good idea. After the two of them agreed, they immediately started preparing. The methods of cooking these three sea fish dishes were very simple. Perhaps the steps for making fish soup were relatively complicated, as the fish had to be fried first. What they lacked at the moment was not only ginger, onion and garlic to remove the fishy smell, but they even lacked a pan to fry the fish.
The small deserted island at the first stop was an accident, so the program team provided them with a convenience, but at the second stop, all these conveniences will be taken back, and only basic seasonings and basic survival tools will be provided.
So there was no pot for frying fish, nor was there a pot for cooking soup. What was available was only a standard iron lunch box, the kind commonly used in the military, for each member.
"Why don't we just not make fish soup? It seems difficult to make it without enough utensils and ingredients." Queen Lin thought about it, but still couldn't think of any better methods.
"Hmm... that's true, but I also want fish soup. It would be great if there was some fish that wasn't too fishy and didn't need to be fried... Wait, frying a big fish is a hassle, so what if I could get a smaller fish..."
As if he remembered something, Yu Yu's eyes lit up. He handed the scene over to the confused Lin Yinghou, then slid in front of Director Zhang and told him what he wanted to say in a babble.
The more he spoke, the tighter his brows furrowed. After a while, he slowly uttered, "You want to go out to sea again? But this time, aren't the ingredients we brought back enough?"
"We did bring back a lot of food, but I wanted to make that milky, sweet fish soup to warm us up. We all got caught in the rain all day yesterday, so I wanted to go out again. Besides... Director Zhang, you know if I can even eat enough of this."
“…”
Director Zhang was stunned. Looking at Yu Yu, whose voice was getting thinner and thinner, and whose face was getting redder and redder, and who was becoming more and more embarrassed, he couldn't help but recall the "profound" experience of Yu Yu almost draining his credit card. Then he thought about the ingredients that seemed unusually rich this morning. Uh... after careful calculation, it seemed that it was really not enough for this girl with a big appetite.
To be honest, it is not impossible to go to the near sea again. They are expected to frequently conduct activities near the coast in the next few days. The coast is safe, and this girl showed them her excellent swimming ability this morning.
"I can let you go out to sea again, but the two cameramen you were originally filming are probably exhausted now, so it's not convenient for them to go with you again. I'll have to find someone else to go with you..."
This is Director Zhang's headache. They brought a lot of cameramen this time, but not many of them are good at underwater shooting.
The filming that morning had been quite tiring for them. You know, being in the water was physically demanding, and carrying an underwater camera to follow the filming was even more so. So after just one trip, they all collapsed, unwilling to even move a finger. How could anyone want to follow Yu Yu out again? He didn't have any lazy people under him...
No, wait, don't tell me, lazy guy, there is actually someone who has sneaked into his team now.
Thinking of this, Director Zhang looked towards his team, and sure enough, he saw the nephew who was thrown over by his brother-in-law, huddled in the cool shade of a tree, with his handsome face tilted up, smiling sweetly at the female staff in his team. The female staff couldn't help but feel maternal love in their smile, and they saved all their rations and coaxed him to give them to the owner of that handsome face.
"..." He felt the urge to throw his nephew into the sea again. The veins on his forehead throbbed. After taking a deep breath, Director Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "We've found the man. I'll let him go with you. You don't have to be polite to that guy. Just use him like a cow. Zhang Meng - come here -"
"Hey, I'm coming..." Zhang Meng, who didn't realize he was in imminent danger, heard his uncle's call. He yawned lazily, still wearing a handsome and deceptive smile, and then strolled over nonchalantly. "Uncle... what's the matter? I'm just about to take a break."
"Why are you taking a break? Haven't you rested enough for the whole morning? Yu Yu is going out to the sea again, you follow with the underwater camera."
"Hey, why?" Zhang Meng, who was awakened by Director Zhang's words, had a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly covered with a bit of grievance. "Uncle, I don't want to, I won't go. You know I'm timid..."
"Yes, I know, but I also know that you went skydiving with your friends two years ago, and at the beginning of this year, you went scuba diving. Not only that, I still remember my brother, your father, desperately showing off your skydiving and scuba diving certificates in front of me during the Chinese New Year this year. So, my dear little nephew, what else do you have to say?"
“…”
Zhang Meng: What else can he say? You, my uncle, have already said everything that needs to be said. What can’t he do if he goes? QAQ.
In order to prevent his uncle from really throwing him into the sea, Zhang Meng reluctantly packed up his underwater camera and other equipment, and reluctantly followed Yu Yu into the boat and went back out to sea.
However, Zhang Meng has never been a quiet guy. After the boat sailed away and the figure on the shore could no longer be seen, Zhang Meng's body tilted directly, with most of his weight pressed on the fish's back. The sunny and handsome face was long gone, replaced by a sinister face, and he said sarcastically: "I heard that the king scallop sashimi this morning seemed to be very delicious. Unfortunately, I tried my best to wink at someone, but that person didn't see it. Obviously, that person promised to save a bite when there was something good to eat. It's a pity that I worked so hard before, giving you oil and salt under my uncle's nose. I'm not kind~"
