Chapter 319 Delicious Mantis Shrimp

It was just dawn in the morning, and Zhuang Haiyang, who stayed on the salvage ship for a night of practice, was still the first one to wake up on the ship.Seeing his comrades who were on duty at night, he went into the water after saying hello, and started the daily morning exercises every time he went to sea.

Having gone to sea together so many times, the comrades who went out to sea with the ship basically knew his habits.The comrade in charge of the night duty looked at Zhuang Haiyang who jumped into the sea and soon disappeared without a trace, and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Many comrades are envious of Zhuang Haiyang's diving ability at the moment, but more comrades know that this ability is hard to come by.Don't look at them saying that the other party likes to be a salted fish every day, but they are really more motivated than training, I'm afraid no one is as good as Zhuang Haiyang.

"This guy, except for his girlfriend who is better at home, seems to have unlimited energy at ordinary times!"

In addition to emotion, the comrades on duty at night also know that they can return with full rewards every time they go to sea, and the big reason is all thanks to Zhuang Haiyang.Don't look at the other party just moving his mouth, but it can be commanded by other people, I'm afraid the result will not be like this.

After swimming in the sea for nearly two hours, I thoroughly digested the results of last night's practice, and when I returned to the boat, other comrades also got up.After a simple breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang also said immediately: "Squad leader, get ready to weigh anchor!"

"Okay! You guys, move quickly, change your clothes and get ready to work."

"Okay! Immediately!"

The other comrades who squatted down to eat breakfast together, who were a bit slow to eat breakfast, also quickly wiped out the breakfast in the bowl when they heard Wang Yanming's greeting.Most of the comrades who finished breakfast early will have changed their clothes and are ready to start today's work.

When the salvage ship arrived at the sea area where the crab cages were dropped last night, Zhuang Haiyang was still in charge of throwing the hooks and pulling the cages.As the first crab cage was hoisted, all the comrades staring at the crab cage smiled and said, "Not bad! It seems that there are quite a lot of crabs here!"

"I hope there will be more big ones! There seem to be more small ones in the previous few catches."

"Every time I pick the big ones and throw the small ones back into the sea. The more times I do, the smaller ones will naturally become more."

During the chat, the crab pots were also untied and dumped on the deck.At this moment, a comrade in arms suddenly said: "I grabbed a grass, what the hell is this? Wait, it looks like a Pipi shrimp, but the head is too big, isn't it?"

Looking at a few super-sized Pippi shrimps bouncing on the deck, the comrades-in-arms who saw it for the first time were surprised.Zhuang Haiyang, who was hooking the crab cage rope, glanced back, and then said: "This is the Pipi shrimp, but it is bigger."

"Ocean, can this thing be eaten?"

"What do you think? Don't worry, this thing is not only edible, but also tastes good. Ordinary Pipi shrimp is only sold by catty. Old Wu, wait and see how much you can get. If there are not many, noon garlic Come and taste it.”

"it is good!"

Wu Xingcheng, who also participated in sorting miscellaneous fish and shrimp, did not say much after hearing Zhuang Haiyang's order.But soon a comrade said: "Ocean, the price of this thing should be more expensive than crabs, right?"

"It's okay! It's rare to come across this kind of mantis shrimp in domestic waters. At present, most of the ones sold on the market are imported from Siam and other countries. It stands to reason that this kind of mantis shrimp should be common in offshore waters, and it can be caught here. It was quite a surprise.”

"It's imported, so the price of this one shouldn't be cheap, right?"

"It also depends on the weight! If it is big, it will be more expensive to live, if it is half-cooked and frozen, the price will be cheaper."

As a child who grew up by the sea, and has a lot of contact with Chen Zhong, the heir of the seafood restaurant, Zhuang Haiyang knows the price of this kind of big skin shrimp.In his opinion, eating one of these Pippi shrimps is not as expensive as eating a big crab.

It's a rare opportunity to get it, so naturally you have to taste it yourself first.The other comrades-in-arms saw that there were not many of them, and heard that this thing loves to kill each other, so it is not easy to take it back alive, so naturally they would not refuse the suggestion of trying something new.

Little Pippi Shrimp, these comrades did not eat less after they came to Nanshan Island, and they naturally knew the taste of Pippi Shrimp.It is rare to come across such a big Pippi shrimp. It would be a pity not to taste it.No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than a large yellow croaker?

In the past, when they caught large yellow croakers, they could still eat them, not to mention a few big prawns?
To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, this kind of big pippi shrimp can be more or less seen in the crab cages that were hoisted later.Going along the seabed where the crab pots were placed, Zhuang Haiyang found that there seemed to be a lot of silt under this sea area.

Thinking of Pippi Shrimp's love of drilling into mud, he said thoughtfully: "It's still a muddy land, so these Pippi Shrimp live here!"

Wu Xingcheng, who was responsible for sorting out fish other than crabs, looked at the Pippi Shrimp being torn to pieces in the bucket, and said with a smile: "Not to mention, this thing is much more vicious and aggressive than the little Pippi Shrimp. This pair of pliers , the same as the mantis arm!"

"Old Wu, let's have a taste of salt and pepper at noon. The Pipi shrimp I ate before tastes good, but it has less meat. This thing should have more meat, right?"

"Look at the belly and the weight, there should be a lot of meat!"

Before the crabs were finished, everyone began to discuss how to eat them.Regarding this situation, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say much.For these comrades-in-arms, as the number of trips to sea increased, they also got used to life on board.

Smile and make noise from time to time, the atmosphere on the boat will not be dead!
As the last crab cage was taken back, Qian Yunpeng, who was in charge of sorting, looked at the dumped crabs in the water tank, and said directly: "Ocean, there don't seem to be as many commercial crabs today as before."

"This harvest is not bad! This is a new sea area, and we are not very familiar with it. If you walk a few more places, you should be able to find sea areas with more crabs. Although the number is small, the crabs are quite big, right? ?”

"On! There are indeed more single big crabs than before. Logically speaking, with such a big crab, there should be more crabs!"

"When I got into the crab cage yesterday, I only saw that the water level here is shallow and there are a lot of seaweed creatures. But I didn't know until I saw those mantis shrimps that the bottom of the sea should be muddy. For many crabs, they still like to live in some places. A sandy place."

"Is that so? Then tomorrow, we have to change the cage again?"

"Well! We should be content with such a harvest. Now I find that you are more greedy than me!"

"That's possible! I was thinking, since they are all out to sea, shouldn't the more catches the better?"

"Having said that! But you should know that there are crabs in the sea. The problem is that I can't drive them into the crab cage. It's okay. I will choose a new place tomorrow, and I will guarantee that I can catch more crabs than today."

As far as Zhuang Haiyang is concerned, even if he misses occasionally, he will not feel depressed.The other comrades-in-arms felt that they had lost their hands, and if they were replaced by other Yu Bosses, they would probably have been laughing from ear to ear.As a human being, contentment will always lead to happiness!
After lifting the crab pots, Zhuang Haiyang asked Wang Yanming to drive the salvage boat and sail slowly in the nearby waters.When lunch was ready, watching the seafood being brought to the table one after another, the plate of salt and pepper shrimp became the object of siege in an instant.

Just seeing such a hard shell, many comrades smiled and said, "Eating this stuff is like eating crabs?"

"Look for scissors! Cut off all the shells and see how much meat this Pipi shrimp has!"

There must be no shortage of tools for eating crabs on salvage ships.With the scissors, each Pippi shrimp was dissected into long strips of shrimp meat by the comrades in arms.With Wu Xingcheng's homemade seasoning, everyone's food is full of flavor.

"Exciting! Not to mention, this Pippi shrimp is really meaty, and the taste is no worse than crab meat."

"Yeah! It's fresh, fragrant, sweet, and the meat is still a bit chewy. It tastes really good, delicious!"

Every time I go to sea, I can taste all kinds of freshly caught seafood. These comrades have a lot of confidence in the delicious seafood.Although eating seafood is not enough to get tired of eating, some seafood is really enough.

Only some seafood that they have never tasted before will make them feel fresh and delicious.But this time I came here to fish, the taste of these mantis shrimps still conquered the slightly picky mouths of these comrades in arms.

On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang, who was peeling mantis shrimp, listened to the chatter of these comrades, and often did not interrupt much.With the improvement of his strength, his desire for words is also much less than before.To be precise, it should be more picky.

Regardless of eating every day, he is no different from other comrades-in-arms. He eats not too much but not too little, and he eats according to common sense.But more often, Zhuang Haiyang will choose some green vegetables and delicious fresh seafood when eating.

For other dishes, there are not many that can really satisfy him.If it wasn't for the fact that he would still feel hungry if he didn't eat for a long time, Zhuang Haiyang sometimes wondered if he had entered the novel, the realm of bigu that others said.

After tasting two freshly caught mantis shrimp, Zhuang Haiyang focused more on the vegetables grown at home, and declared the end of lunch after eating a bowl of rice.In the eyes of other comrades-in-arms, this food intake should be far from enough compared to the physical strength he consumed.

Just when he was about to leave, Wu Xingcheng also asked at the right time: "Yang Hai, what about the remaining mantis shrimps?"

"If you like to eat, why don't you make another plate tonight?"

"No matter how good the food is, you'll get tired of eating it! And this mantis shrimp tastes really good, don't you want to take some back?"

"Is that so? Then find a separate bucket later, and keep the remaining mantis shrimps in the bucket. In addition, I will find something to tie them up. Otherwise, I guess all these mantis shrimps will die when we return to the voyage." about there."

"Row!"

Knowing that this mantis shrimp is extremely aggressive, if you want to transport it back alive, you have to tie it up and raise it alone just like those aggressive crabs.If you really want to freeze it, then thaw it and steam it, the taste will not be as good as it is now.

As many people say, seafood is delicious.Once frozen, the taste is still much worse than fresh.Thinking of this kind of mantis shrimp, my elder sister may not have eaten it, so it would be good to bring a few back for her to try.

The most important thing is this kind of big pippi shrimp, both girls should like to eat it.Anyway, the quantity is not too much, and I am not interested in selling them separately.Take it home and let those who are at home try it, I believe they will like it too.

And comrades who have tasted it fresh, although they think the big pippi shrimp tastes good.But if you really want to eat it every day, you will probably get tired of it after a few meals.It is also the job of Wu Xingcheng, the chef on board, to prepare the menu in different ways!
