"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhou Miao stepped forward and patted her head, feeling touched.
Lu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, seemingly enjoying his intimacy.
"How many are left? Let me help you choose!"
"No need, I've already selected them. Let them air dry for a while until the surface moisture of the krill is gone, then I can pour in glycerin and refrigerate them."
"Okay, then wash your hands. Let's go to Luo Hao's fish raft for lunch. I brought back some mantis shrimp this morning, so let's try some fresh ones."
"Okay." Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, took off her gloves to wash her hands, and didn't forget to ask, "What is Wangchao?"
"A type of octopus, very small in size, resembling a small octopus. However, it is very expensive, and I've heard it tastes exceptionally sweet and has a crisp texture."
"Why don't you sell it?"
"We've already sold a lot, and this is a famous seafood from eastern Zhejiang. As people from eastern Zhejiang, how could we not have tasted such a famous seafood!"
"Yes, you're right."
"Let's hurry, it's almost noon."
The two first waited at their own fishing raft, and when it was time to finish work, they took the workers back to shore.
Then, taking the Wangchao from the warehouse, they headed to the Tingtao Fishing Raft.
The area around Luohao is cooler overall, making it more suitable for raising these tide bearers.
"Ah Miao, are you free tomorrow? I'm planning to go check out speedboats. There are just three of us, and a small sampan isn't enough for us," Lu Xingyu said.
"Okay, I won't go out to sea tomorrow. I'll come and supervise the construction. You can go and check on the ship." Zhou Miao also felt it was inconvenient.
Besides, you need to buy a speedboat anyway, so it's better to buy it sooner and use it sooner rather than later.
"How about I supervise the construction? Brother Miao, you can just do what you need to do. You don't need to worry about the fish rafts," Lu Xiaoxiao said immediately.
She also wanted to contribute as much as she could and do what she could.
"You have a lot to do too, you don't need to come here." Zhou Miao shook his head. "I can finally get some rest. I've been staying up late at sea these past few days and haven't been getting enough sleep."
"Alright then!" Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and felt that she could come and keep him company so that he wouldn't be bored here.
In other words, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise it would have definitely dealt a devastating blow to Lu Xingyu.
After all, Lu Xiaoxiao hardly ever came when he was supervising the construction here.
Of course, the lack of boats is also one of the reasons.
Upon arriving at Tingtao Fishing Raft, Zhou Miao and the others saw Luo Hao squatting by the water's edge, constantly splashing the tide.
Luo Qianqian stood to the side, her phone camera pointed at Wang Chao, it was unclear whether she was live-streaming or recording.
"Ah Hao, what are you doing?" Zhou Miao asked curiously.
"The flesh of the mantis shrimp is very tough; it's impossible to chew it when it's cooked normally. So, to make the mantis shrimp crisp enough, we need to pound it to make it crisp first," Luo Hao explained, glancing up at them.
"I see. Luckily I brought it for you to cook. If I had just cooked it myself, I probably would have ended up eating a plate of slippers," Zhou Miao said thankfully.
He had previously learned about Wangchao, but he hadn't actually seen the specific methods he used.
Indeed, things we don't understand should be left to those who do, otherwise we'll just waste food.
"Let me help you." There were quite a few juvenile magpies, weighing a full three kilograms. Luo Hao was a bit slow on his own, so Zhou Miao went to help him after getting off the boat.
Seeing this, Lu Xingyu went over to help, and so the three big men squatted on the edge of the fish raft, constantly hitting the tidal bore, which made Luo Qianqian laugh.
Speaking into her phone, she said, "Family members, does anyone know anything about this? I've heard of people abusing cats and dogs, but this is the first time I've heard of someone abusing a baby octopus."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought she was doing a live stream, so she curiously went over to take a look, only to find that she was just recording something, and then she lost interest.
There are techniques to striking the cicada; you can't use too much force, or you might smash its brains out.
But it can't be too light either, otherwise the effect will be poor and it will take a long time.
Under Luo Hao's guidance, Zhou Miao and Lu Xingyu quickly mastered the technique.
After slamming it for a good ten minutes, until all the ink from the hawk's head came out, and its head felt bouncy and smooth to the touch, it was considered a successful slamming.
Next came the second step. Luo Hao brought some sea salt and sprinkled it on the sea bream, giving them a comfortable massage.
These originally soft tilapia have had their tentacles stiffened, making them look like they've been cooked, and you can feel their bouncy texture just by looking at them.
Luo Hao pinched the meat with his fingernail and found it was very brittle. He then pulled over the water pipe, cleaned Wangchao, and put it in ice water.
"Eating this stuff is such a hassle, you have to slam and knead it. If it were a small octopus, you could just wash it clean and put it directly into a pot to boil."
Zhou Miao washed his hands clean and sighed.
"So the baby octopus only costs 20 or 30 yuan a catty, while the mantis shrimp costs 20 or 30 yuan a catty." Luo Hao took the processed mantis shrimp into the kitchen and started making lunch.
He was very well prepared; it would be a waste to simply blanch such excellent ingredients.
So he made one braised dish, one spicy stewed dish, and the last one was simply blanched.
Besides these three, there were naturally other dishes, but as soon as Wangchao was served, it attracted the attention of Zhou Miao and the others.
Luo Qianqian, feeling a craving, couldn't resist and immediately grabbed some chopsticks, ready to try it first.
"Wow, it's so crispy, the texture is really good!" Luo Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth as she ate.
Then she picked one up and held it to Zhou Miao's lips: "You should try it too, it's really delicious."
Before Yu Muzhou's divorce, he might have been more cautious.
But now, Zhou Miao took a bite without any hesitation, even touching the chopsticks with his lips.
Lu Xingyu turned his head, looking like Nick Young with a question mark on his face.
Didn't this bastard have an affair with his own sister? How dare he flirt with another woman in front of him?
Lu Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction, quickly ran into the kitchen to get chopsticks, and when she came back, she picked up a piece of braised meat and held it to Zhou Miao's mouth: "Brother Miao, I think braised meat is also very delicious, you should try it."
Zhou Miao nodded. The braised dish did look very appetizing, so he opened his mouth and ate it.
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled happily, biting the chopsticks he had touched, and gave Luo Qianqian a provocative look.
Luo Qianqian glared at Zhou Miao in anger; she had been happy for nothing.
But how could she possibly admit defeat after being provoked?
Just as she was about to continue feeding him, Lu Xingyu suddenly snatched her chopsticks, picked up the spicy gecko, and added the "landmine" and chili peppers to it before putting it to Zhou Miao's mouth.
She lowered her voice, adopting a shy demeanor, and said, "Brother A-Miao, I want to feed you too!"
"6
""
"Never mind, two will be enough."
Zhou Miao glanced at the dried chili peppers and several sticky "landmines" on it and smiled as he declined.
Lu Xingyu's eyes widened, and he dropped the pretense: "Weren't we enjoying our meal just now? Give me some!"
"Okay, okay, is this how you play?" Zhou Miao raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth to eat.
He then snatched the chopsticks away and grabbed Lu Xingyu, pressing him onto the table amidst his panicked expression.
He picked up a piece of spicy prawns covered in Sichuan peppercorns and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Brothers are brothers in our hearts; we should share joys and sorrows, don't you agree?"
