452. Sail, go to sea (3/5)
Sitting under the shelter board at the stern of the boat, Wang Bo's brother Wang Zheng took a sip of cigarettes and said with a smile: "I heard from Auntie you are working as a civil servant in New Zealand? The mayor? How did you get there? It's amazing."
Wang Bo laughed, it was indeed amazing. He didn't know why he could get the heart of a lord. Could it be that he had saved the Milky Way in his previous life and then aliens came to give him prizes?
Of course, this cannot be said. He took out the rhetoric prepared in advance and said, "Actually, it's luck. I have a college classmate who is rich and powerful at home. He sent him to New Zealand to set up a housekeeping company, which is to provide jobs such as nanny and escort."
"I went to manage personnel and met an old widowed man. Seeing that he was pitiful, I often went to see him, brought him some gifts and cooked some food, but he died and gave me a large piece of land to make the estate. Then I took out a loan to build some houses and became a mayor according to New Zealand law."
Uncle Wang also laughed and said, "This is not luck, it is God who rewards you. You are just as kind as your parents, and you will definitely not lose in this life."
After hearing this, Wang Zheng took a sip of cigarettes and said, "Yes, your family is well-manned. Oh, if your parents didn't dislike me and let me come up with half of my palm, how could I find a job to make money?"
Uncle Wang said: "Making money is to make money, but I can't get 30,000 or 20,000 yuan a year. It's not enough to buy medicine for your aunt and sister. I just calculated that I made nearly 200,000 yuan last year..."
As he said that, he shook his head: "I couldn't think about it before, 200,000."
A small turbine ship drove over from the sea twitchingly. Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and took out his cell phone and called and asked, "Lao Liu, are there any good crabs this time?"
He said a few words, and threw a large plastic bucket from the boat opposite. Someone waved his hands at the stern, and then the turbine ship left, and their boat leaned over. Wang Zheng used a sea rake with a hook to pull the rope on the bucket and began to drag it here.
Eva asked curiously: "What is this for?"
Wang Bo smiled and said, "The boat was just fishing for crabs and shrimps. My brother called him and asked for some. It was probably for us to cook lunch and dinner."
Wang Zheng vomited out the cigarette butt and said, "Yes, I got some crabs. We are lucky. We didn't go into the sea. Now the phone has signals, so it's easy to connect. Otherwise, eating this crab wouldn't be so easy."
He went to work while talking, but the rope was too slippery and the hook was not grasped steadily. Seeing this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Numbilic, working with one hand is not easy."
Wang Bo patted his shoulder and told him not to worry, and said, "No need to hook, look at me, the strong man, come over, have you seen that bucket? Drag it over for me!"
The mastiff swung its tail happily, jumped into the water "thump", swam quickly over and bit the rope floating on the water with its mouth, and dragged the bucket back quickly.
Wang Bo brought it up and said, "It's not light, there are thirty or forty kilograms of crabs inside."
Uncle Wang and Wang Zheng did not answer. They were all looking at the strong man in surprise. Wang Zheng said, "You are so energetic, why are you so spiritual?"
Zhong Dabao said, "Brother Zheng, you should raise a dog, look at Lao Wang, who can be a personal servant."
Wang Zheng said angrily: "I have raised that husky, but it's so stupid. That's not because we went to sea some time ago. I don't know who stole it. I was so angry that I didn't raise it anymore."
Wang Bo laughed and said, "Can you raise that dog? Keep a Labrador, so I will go back and get a good dog for you and keep it for a while to send it back to you, so that it can be used as a half-person."
Open the bucket lid and reveal dozens of fat crabs inside. The big ones are nearly one pound, and the small ones are more than half a pound. The pliers are covered, but they are still full of vitality. After pouring them out, they are domineering on the board.
Wang Bo picked up a few crabs and looked at them, and said in surprise: "Oh, they are all female crabs, they are quite fat. Who was on the boat just now? I really give you face."
Wang Zheng smiled and said, "A friend, I have helped him, and he has a good time playing. His boat specializes in crabs, so what he gives us must be good things."
It was almost noon when they went out to sea, so it was almost time to have lunch.
Bo's mother came over and cleaned the crabs quickly, then took them to the fishing boat kitchen and steamed them in a pot. She asked Eva, "Do you like fresh or spicy?"
Wang Bo said: "She doesn't understand, mom, just steam it and eat it. Let's stir-fry it spicyly in the evening."
These crabs are called winter crabs because they are caught in winter.
The weather is cold and a lot of seafood is no longer fresh. Most fish and shrimps have entered the growth period. At this time, they are very thin and have no meat. However, winter crabs are different from others. They are very plump and have thick and sweet crab paste.
Eating winter crab is to eat its umami flavor, so it is best to use steaming method. Any other method cannot reflect the fresh sweetness of the crab.
Bo’s mother was preparing lunch, and Wang Bo took out a fishing rod and took Eva and the little loli to fish.
The little loli asked curiously: "The boat is sailing, can you catch fish in this way?"
Wang Bo said: "This is called trolling. Of course you can catch fish. Let's compete to see who can catch the biggest fish."
When the little loli heard the competition, she became interested and carried the small fishing rod that was ready for her to go to the stern to find a seat.
Wang Bo patted the strong man on the neck and asked him to follow the little loli, and did not accidentally slip or fall into the water.
The strong man followed behind with small steps. He had seen how the queen took care of the child. When the little loli stood in a dangerous place, he immediately bit her clothes with his teeth and dragged her back.
Wang Bo and Eva sat together and chatted and fished. Uncle Wang came over and took some dried fish from the bucket and sprinkled them down to attract the fish to float on the water.
There are really not many fish in the sea. Wang Bo remembers that when he was a child, he could see fish appear in at most ten minutes, but he and Eva sat for nearly half an hour before the fish took the bait.
The fish biting the hook was not big, so Wang Bo recycled the fishing line several times, then dragged it back hard, and a fat black fish about twenty centimeters long appeared on the water surface.
Zhong Dabao took a look and smiled, "Okay, I have a good taste, it's a black bass. I'll do it tonight. This fish is suitable for girls to eat."
Black bass is the name for sea bass in their dialect. Perch is divided into two types: black and white. Sea bass is mainly black, and locals call it black bass.
There are a few types of sea bass in winter that are suitable for eating. They are very plump. At this time, the meat is white and delicate. The fish accumulates a lot of nutrients, which is suitable for women, children and the elderly.
Seeing that Wang Bo was catching fish, the little loli immediately threw her fishing rod and ran over to look curiously, while looking at it, yelling: "Where are fish? Let me see..."
