074: Caught a big lobster
Yu Xiaoye just does what he thinks of.
Take a large piece of chopped fish and chop it into fish paste, add seasoning and egg white, and then stir.
I remember that I needed to wrestle it harder, so I used my hands to wrestle it again.
After falling for half an hour, my arms were sore and I felt it was about time, so I put the fish balls in the pot.
After the water boils, I start to imitate the postures in the food videos. I grab the fish paste in one hand and a spoon in the other hand, scoop up the fish meat squeezed out from the tiger's mouth, and put it into the boiling water pot. A white fish ball is formed and tumbles in the boiling water pot.
At first she was a little clumsy, but after trying it a few times she became proficient and soon made fish balls out of half the salad bowl of fish.
Take it out and soak it in water.
Yu Xiaoye tried one and found it tasted pretty good, not bad.
In the evening, I made some soup with fish balls and shepherd's purse, and added cornmeal pancakes and hairtail. I also grilled some fish and fried two boxes of luncheon meat from the warehouse. It was another nutritious and hearty dinner!
Just as she finished making the fish balls, she heard Yu Jiahui calling her from above:
"Ono, Ono, come here quickly! Come here quickly!"
Is the fishing net lost?
Or did you catch some fish?
Yu Xiaoye rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck:
"dad?"
"The fishing net was pulled up, and there really is something inside!"
"ah!"
Yu Xiaoye shouted excitedly and ran to the side of the ship to look down.
I saw a fishing net floating underwater, with a lot of fish in it, all alive and kicking, but it was hard to tell whether there were more fish or shrimps.
Yu Xiaoye was very excited:
"We really did it, that's great, Dad, we really got something!"
"It's just too heavy, probably dozens or even hundreds of kilograms, and there's no way I can pull it up."
"It doesn't matter if you can't pull it up. I can go down and sort it out. We have a kayak, right? Put the kayak down and I'll sit in it and pick out the shrimp. The rest, which is useless, can be thrown directly back into the sea."
Speaking of kayaking, Yu Jiahui came up with another idea:
"Oh, right, I remember that the stern deck of a yacht should be retractable. I've seen it before, and our yacht should be able to do it too. You just need to lower a deck so people can go swimming from there."
After Yu Jiahui said this, Yu Xiaoye also remembered that yachts seemed to have this function.
Yu Jiahui hurried back to the cockpit to fiddle with the dashboard and buttons.
Finally, I found the button that controlled the quarterdeck and successfully lowered the deck.
Put down another footbridge.
Yu Xiaoye walked down the gangway and came to the quarterdeck.
At this time, the rear deck was level with the sea surface. Yu Xiaoye stepped on it, squatted at the edge of the deck, and could reach the cool sea water with his hand.
In this way, there is no need to pull the fishing net up, just drag the fishing net onto the deck and sort it on the deck.
The two of them agreed on a plan, and Yu Xiaoye went to find a swimsuit, put it on, put on a lifebuoy, sat on the stern deck, and put his legs in the sea.
The sea water was icy cold, and Bing's body shivered.
She splashed water on herself, and when her body adjusted to the temperature of the seawater, she dived into the sea and swam to the fishing net.
Looking closer, she saw that there were indeed a lot of things in the fishing net. She couldn't help but look up and shout to Yu Jiahui on the yacht:
"Dad, there are fish, shrimps and a big fish in the fishing net!"
"Be careful!"
"I understand. Let's get started."
The father and daughter worked together, one holding the fishing rod and dragging it from above, while the other pulled the fishing net in the sea and swam towards the quarterdeck.
Finally the net was dragged onto the quarterdeck.
Yu Jiahui fixed the fishing rod, then came down and dragged the fishing net onto the deck with his daughter.
There are about fifty or sixty kilograms of things in the fishing net, including fish, shrimps and many other varieties.
"Dad, go get a few more buckets and let's sort them."
"Hahaha, alright!"
Yu Jiahui brought four buckets specifically for fish, and the father and daughter sorted the fish and shrimp on the stern deck.
"Dad, I'll pick the shrimps and you pick the fish. You can keep the fish you think are edible and throw the small ones back into the sea."
"OK."
The fish caught were very diverse, with more than a dozen species. They had no shortage of fish now, so most of them were thrown back into the sea.
Not a single shrimp was spared.
And these shrimps are all big shrimps.
The smallest one is as big as Yu Xiaoye's hand:
"Look, Dad, this shrimp is so big!"
"Damn, here, there's a bigger one!"
Only then did the two of them see a huge lobster claw sticking out from the fishing net. The claw was bigger than an adult's palm. Just looking at the claw, they knew that the lobster was extraordinary.
The big lobster waved its two domineering claws and popped its head out from a pile of fish and shrimps. Only then did the father and daughter see the full appearance of the big lobster.
It’s really big!
As big as an Australian lobster!
"Wow!!!"
The father and daughter opened their mouths wide and couldn't believe their eyes. They actually managed to catch such a big lobster!
Yu Xiaoye was so shocked that he closed his mouth for a long time:
"Dad, we're really lucky to have caught such a lobster. If we sell it, it'll probably fetch at least a thousand or eight hundred, right?"
"Hahahaha, this is our strength! Quickly take out this shrimp. Look at those big claws. They didn't even cut the fishing net into pieces."
"Be careful not to hurt your hands with the pliers."
The two of them worked together and, after a lot of effort, finally got the big lobster out and put it into the bucket.
Yu Jiahui picked up the bucket and estimated:
"At least five or six pounds."
Yu Xiaoye drooled and began to ponder:
"How do you eat it? Steamed, raw, pickled, or grilled?"
"Of course I want both. It's so big, I'll steam some and pickle some.
Bake some more."
"Okay!" Yu Xiaoye swallowed and continued picking shrimps.
The shrimps were all very big. On average, they were about as long as Yu Xiaoye's palm, and some weighed half a pound each.
When making shrimp paste, it is better to use small shrimps.
But they couldn't catch any small shrimps at the moment, so they had to use these big shrimps.
Tsk tsk, using this kind of prawns to make shrimp paste is really a waste of food.
This net caught about four or five pounds of shrimp.
Yu Jiahui cleaned the fishing net and put it back into the sea, preparing to catch more fish.
Yu Xiaoye took the shrimps in the bucket and went back to the kitchen to chop them up to make shrimp paste.
At this time, both father and son were a little hungry.
Yu Xiaoye could only go to make lunch first. He made a pot of sweet potato and cornmeal porridge, boiled about a pound of prawns, and the cornmeal pancakes from last night.
As for the big lobster weighing five or six pounds, of course we have to wait until Xu Ying finishes work in the evening before we can eat it.
Good things taste better when they are shared by the whole family.
After lunch, Yu Jiahui caught another fish.
Yu Xiaoye jumped into the sea, and the two of them worked together to drag the fishing net to the quarter deck, leaving Yu Jiahui alone sitting on the quarter deck to sort it out, while Yu Xiaoye went back to the kitchen to make shrimp paste.
If you are using small shrimps to make shrimp paste, just chop them all up.
However, the prawns they caught were too big, and the shells on their heads and tails were too strong, making them difficult to chop. So she simply removed the heads and tails, leaving only the middle part, and chopped it on the chopping board.
When the chopping was almost done, she brought over the pickle jar she bought from the county town and put the chopped shrimp meat in it.
