1109. Daqin Lobster

After lyricism, Butler really sat on the dock. Qin Shiou shrugged and had to sit next to him.

It has entered May. The weather in spring is very good, the sun is bright and the sun is gentle. The crystal waves are blown by the sea breeze, and waves are slapped up one after another, making a gentle "slam" sound.

Butler turned his head and smiled, "Have you ever sat on the cliff and looked at the Atlantic Ocean? It's the kind of cliff with lush pine forests behind it, rough granite under his butt, but with green weeds on hand. Have you ever had such an experience?"

Qin Shiou shook his head. The mountain he climbed in Canada was the Kambal Mountain beside him. Every time he went up the mountain, he would climb purely because he was too close to the ocean, so close that he sometimes ignored the sea.

“That must be a great feeling.”

"Of course, you must try this feeling." Butler smiled, "Think about it, man, sitting on the edge of a cliff with coniferous forests, looking at the Atlantic Ocean full of lobsters, I would be very calm at that time, as if even time had sunk into the seabed. At that time, time was useless to you, and you had become a reef on the coast."

Qin Shiou looked at Uncle Hei with a surprised expression. This guy is so literary and stylish.

Facing his surprise, Butler laughed, but his smile was simple, "Have you ever watched "Forrest Gump"? When Forrest Gump was in Vietnam, he had a comrade named Babu. His family has been catching shrimps for generations. Do you have any impression?"

Qin Shiou said: "Of course, it's a very classic movie and a good interpretation. In the end, Babu said in Forrest Gump's arms that he wanted to go home and find his mother. I think I will keep it in mind for the rest of my life."

Butler said: "When I first met, I told you that my family also operates seafood for generations. Haha, in fact, I lied to you. Our family does not operate seafood, but shrimp catching. Just like Babu's family, there is a shrimp boat that shuttles through the sea every day."

"Then everything you have earned now is what you have made with your own hands? That's amazing." Qin Shiou exclaimed.

Butler had a lot of energy in Florida, where the Mory family's business was not as big as he did. The conflict between the two sides was in New York. At that time, the bearded man was ambushed by the Mory family and suffered a tragic death.

If this situation was all defeated by Butler himself, then he was enough to make Qin Shiou admire him.

Butler didn't say that, just said: "My hometown is a small town in Florida, which is distributed on the mountains near the sea. In my childhood and youth, I often sat on the cliffs on the mountain and watched my parents hunting shrimps in fishing boats. Just like now."

"Then I'll go to your hometown, guy, won't you take me to visit?" Qin Shiou said with a smile.

Butler made a call and said to Dakai: "Come on, jump down. I'll take you to visit my hometown, haha."

As he said that, the bearded black man burst into laughter.

The two sat on the pier made of hard pine wood. The slightly salty and fishy sea breeze drifted around with a faint pine wood smell. At first, the smell was not very pleasant. But when Qin Shiou got used to it, he felt that this was the smell of the fishing ground.

For the bearded black man, this may be the taste of his hometown.

The waves slammed the pier, and occasionally the tide receded, revealing some goose-neck barnacles. These hard-shelled guys climbed onto the pier like stones, and their gray shells were rugged and rugged, gathering together all kinds of strange shapes.

In this way, the waves behind them hit again, and there are many holes and gaps in the shell of the gooseneck barnacle. The sea water hits and makes different sounds. Listening carefully, it seems like a symphony.

Qin Shiou released the consciousness of the sea god to feel it, and this feeling became even stronger. In the eyes of others, the ocean is a moody tyrant. In the feeling of the heart of the sea god, this is Venus with a broken arm, gentle and beautiful.

It doesn't take too long to catch lobsters in a fishing ground, because fishermen usually have an important task, which is to find out the resource location of the fishing grounds, so that they can fish in a targeted manner and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As long as the habitat is not transferred in winter, lobsters are relatively lazy in other seasons. Fishermen put their shrimp cages into large groups of lobster habitats that they have explored in advance, and it only takes four or five hours to catch the cage.

Every half an hour, Shaq would take people to randomly pick up a few shrimp cages to see the situation inside. When he picked up the cage the second time, there were lobsters.

Shaq took a dozen big lobsters with arms lengths to the dock. Butler was an expert. He looked inside and said in surprise: "Hey, there are soft-shell lobsters at this time? I have to admit, Qin, your fishing ground is so magical."

Lobsters have a complex process of molting shells, and they will shed their old shells every year in order to grow larger and harder new shells. However, this process usually occurs in summer. This lobster that has just been replaced with a new shell is called "soft-shell lobster".

Compared with hard-shelled lobsters of the same age, soft-shelled lobsters are more susceptible to damage, so they are inconvenient to transport and are prone to injury and death on the road.

But at this time the lobster is more plump and more convenient to eat. There is even a way to eat it in Boston, which is to soak the soft-shell lobster in vinegar and eat it together with the shell. Naturally, as long as the soft-shell lobster is alive, the price is more expensive than the hard-shell lobster.

More than a dozen big lobsters were swaying together, but Butler grabbed one and tried the weight. He probably knew whether the lobster was fat or not.

Naturally, the fishing ground surprised him again, and the lobster was heavy in his hands. This was a very full sense of weight, proving that there was a lot of meat in the lobster shell.

After taking these dozen lobsters ashore, Butler, with a smile on his face, said, "Come on, Qin, let you taste the shrimp made with the lobster method unique to my hometown, follow me."

Qin Shiou is a food lover. When Butler said this, he was looking forward to it. He quickly packed the kitchen and provided it to him, asking him what else he needed.

Butler smiled and said he wanted a pot of clean sea water.

Qin Shiou brought him a bucket, but Butler poured sea water into the pot, then put the lobster in, and then started cooking.

Qin Shiou was stunned. This is a unique way to cook lobsters in sea water? He can do it, and his method of eating lobsters is much more particular than this.

Butler adjusted the heating time and clapped his hands and said, "Very good. The next thing we have to do is wait, wait for the delicious Karina Town Lobster. You have to restrain yourself later and don't swallow your tongue into your stomach."

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it, but I have to say, man, lobsters need to be steamed, right? How can I eat lobsters while cooking?" (To be continued...)
