Chapter 913 Cooked Lobster
Many people love fishing and dream of becoming a boat crew member so they can fish every day. The truth is, people who live on boats only go fishing when they're bored. Basically, no one fishes if they have something else to do.
But for the next two days, the Luna's several lifeboats were used for fishing. Hua Chong and his crew went out early every morning, hoping to catch another frogfish.
But frogfish is indeed a rare species in the eastern Atlantic. We caught a lot of fish in the past few days, but there was really no frogfish.
But that's okay. Whether it's the Luna or the Calypso, the most popular way to eat it is "tangzhuo," where the fish is simmered in white porridge and then finished with the porridge. While other fish aren't as delicious as frogfish, tangzhuo is still incredibly delicious.
Everyone looked at Xiao Peng with a look of deep resentment—he had eaten all that huge frogfish liver by himself! He wasn't even afraid of getting sick! Seeing him eat so deliciously, Hua was eager to catch a frogfish too.
Is frogfish liver really that delicious?
This is not an exaggeration. Frogfish is a kind of fish belonging to the genus Angelfish. The liver of anglerfish is always one of the most delicious delicacies in the world: slice the liver, put onion slices and ginger, pour in a little cooking wine and steam it. After steaming, sprinkle with some chopped green onions, pour hot oil and a little soy sauce. It is one of the most beautiful flavors in the world. Or, like what Lao Liu did for Xiao Peng, wrap it in egg starch and fry it in oil. It tastes rich in fragrance, delicate in taste and melts in the mouth.
But the frogfish liver is really big! A frogfish that big would weigh two kilograms! Xiao Peng actually ate the whole thing while drinking a little wine!
In fact, no matter how delicious the Juewei is, it will become unpalatable if you eat too much. After eating it, Xiao Peng didn't want to eat it anymore! But seeing how greedy Walter and the others were, Xiao Peng decided: keep eating! Make them greedy to death!
In fact, his goal had been achieved. Now it was time for everyone to go fishing. Every one of the people on the boat was craving frogfish liver!
This kind of greedy feeling is so good!
Three days passed in a flash, and it was finally time to get down to business.
Khedira said: "Boss, everything is ready!"
Xiao Peng straightened his clothes and asked, "How do I look like now?"
Khedira gave a thumbs-up: "Boss, I'm so jealous of your skin color! Mine looks like a boiled lobster!"
Xiao Peng raised his middle finger without thinking: "Get lost!"
This is very interesting about people. For example, most Asians and blacks think that 'white is beautiful' and whoever looks white is good-looking. However, it is just the opposite for white people. They like to be a little darker, especially those with brown skin, which they really envy. They like to sunbathe because they want that skin color.
Many people resort to indoor tanning, where they lie in a chamber under ultraviolet light to create a tan. However, this method can cause skin aging and may even cause cancer, leading many countries to restrict minors from using it.
Of course, this is a bit too absolute. For example, although they are all yellow people, there was a period of time in Japan when black was considered beautiful.
When Namie Amuro became a huge star in Japan, many young women there would spend thousands of yen per week on full-body tanning treatments because of her dark skin. Because they frequented the Shibuya 109 department store, they became known as the "Shibuya-kei" or "109 Gals." However, this trend has faded, and few women still practice this. White beauty is now considered the new norm there.
Xiao Peng's current skin color is so ugly that it has become a "black ball" in the eyes of Chinese people, but it is envied by Khedira. Their skin is thin and turns red when exposed to the sun.
As Khedira said - cooked lobster!
Xiao Peng was still joking with Khedira when Sheridan came over and said, "Mr. Xiao, we've finished debugging everything and set up the cameras. When do we start?"
Xiao Peng checked his watch. "It seems a little early, but it's okay. Let's go to the offline room!"
Part of the Luna's garage was converted into an ROV operation room, and the other part was converted into an offline room, so that Xiao Peng could direct the salvage work on the Luna.
When Xiao Peng arrived in the room, many members of the photography team were already there, making it seem a bit crowded. Xiao Peng sat directly on his swivel chair. Seeing Xiao Peng coming, the photography team adjusted the camera again and gave Xiao Peng a thumbs-up. Sheridan said, "Mr. Xiao, then you can start. We can record here in the next room."
Xiao Peng nodded: "No problem, today's live broadcast has been promoted a long time ago, and I can start anytime."
Sheridan said, "By the way, Mr. Xiao, if possible, you'd better use English for today's live broadcast."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "Director Sheridan, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm broadcasting this live to my compatriots on our country's live streaming platform, so of course I have to speak Chinese! Don't you know how to do dubbing? Oh, now I remember, you can add subtitles! We have to watch your movies with subtitles, and you must watch me speak too!"
Sheridan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, this might cause dissatisfaction when the movie is released."
"No." Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "They are all concerned about how I found the shipwreck, so they will definitely read the subtitles carefully!"
"So how did you find the shipwreck?" Sheridan asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and pointed at Bradley and said, "He reminded me of this in the Trinity College library!"
In the movie, Xiao Peng was looking up information in the Trinity College library when Bradley's character made a discovery that reminded Xiao Peng of the shipwreck.
Bradley spread his hands, not knowing how to answer. In fact, they were all very curious about how Xiao Peng could find so many shipwrecks, but Xiao Peng's answer was just one: check the information!
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from Xiao Peng, Sheridan rubbed his nose when Xiao Peng suddenly sneezed. "Damn it, who missed me?"
Sheridan and Bradley said in unison, "God bless you!" and left the room.
Xiao Peng scratched his head. He was still not used to seeing people say this when they sneezed in Europe and the United States. Shouldn't you say 'I wish you good health'?
Around 1,500 years ago, a plague broke out in Italy. Many people died of the plague because they sneezed. The Pope at the time urged everyone to pray for those who sneezed, hoping that God would bless them to recover. This custom has been passed down to this day.
Xiao Peng prefers to believe that the so-called "plague" should be a flu, otherwise why would people sneeze? But no matter what, this custom has indeed been passed down to the present day.
Xiao Peng flexed his fingers and said to Khedira, "That's it!"
He logged onto the live streaming platform and grinned at the camera: "Hey, here I come!"
