There are dozens of fishing boats, and there are three or five fish that are less, and there are half a cabin. The seafood they catch is also diverse, including pomfrets, hairtails, big yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, eels, groupers, etc., which are common in nearby waters, as well as various varieties of sea shells, shrimps, crabs, squids, etc. that are not available on weekdays, in response to Chen Xu's request.

There are many types of sea shells, including oyster scallops, gecko snail shells, and even Chen Xu found a basket of long-legged shuttle crabs, which made Chen Xu very happy.

Shuttle crabs are a special seafood on the southeast coast. It is the autumn season now, and the yellow crab paste is the best time to eat crabs. Some time ago, I ate a lot of hairy crabs from the Yangtze River and hairy crabs from Taihu Lake, but this is the first time I have encountered such a big sea crab today.

Chen Xu had seen several big crabs at the bottom of the sea when he was diving just now, but it was a dream to catch this thing in deep water with bare hands. After trying it a few times, he gave up. If he really wanted to catch it, the crab would probably be suffocated to death if he didn't catch it.

In addition to shrimps and crabs, the squid squid that started with legs made Chen Xu salivate, and he has been thinking about the squid for many years.

Before I traveled through time, I went to the food stall for lunch with my friends. Every time I went to the squid and cuttlefish, I had to order delicious food.

And at that time, I heard that these seafood were soaked in various preservatives to keep them fresh. At present, they were definitely primitive, uncontaminated live seafood. When they were taken out of the cabin, they were still waving their wrists and feet everywhere.

A group of fishermen helped to pick up the fishing boats, and a group of servants and boatmen helped to sort and load baskets on the shore.

"Mr. Marquis, there's too much. I can't finish it for several days. It's better to buy less!" Looking at the rows of fish baskets filled with densely packed by the sea, a servant couldn't help but remind him.

"If you can't finish eating, raise it, or pickle it and eat it slowly. Dried fish and fresh fish are two different flavors... Hey, don't throw it away, don't throw it away, come and have a look..." Chen Xu waved his hand with a smile, and while speaking, he watched a fisherman throw a ball of light yellow things into the sea, and quickly opened his mouth to stop it.

"Mr. Marquis, this is just a big water hat. I just brought it with me. It cannot be eaten. What's the use for it?" The fisherman was puzzled, but he still brought the ball to the shore.

This is a large jellyfish, held in the hands of the fishermen, and dragged it directly to the ground.

Jellyfish are generally poisonous, but Chen Xu remembers that there is a cold jellyfish that tastes crispy, tender and sour. It is made of jellyfish, which is also a rare seafood delicacy. I have eaten it several times in the food stall.

But unfortunately, Chen Xu didn't know how to eat Dahai Mother with her head.

"Take it to the kitchen staff to remove all the tentacles and internal organs of the big jellyfish, leaving only the meat cap on it, and then cut it into shreds and marinate it with salt!"

Although I didn't know how to eat it, Chen Xu decided to try it.

"Mr. Marquis, can this thing be eaten? Someone has cooked it before, but after cooking it, it has melted!" the fisherman reminded.

"Everything in the world is not toxic and cannot be eaten. The water hat you are talking about is called jellyfish, also called jellyfish. If it is done, it will be very delicious!" Chen Xu squatted down and looked through the fish basket and explained with a smile.

"Then the relationship is good. If the Marquis of Water Hat really made it delicious, we would probably all benefit from it. Although there are a lot of fish and shrimp in this sea area, the most common ones are this kind of ghost thing. If the Marquis had been a month earlier, this thing would have been flooded. The sea surface was floating everywhere. It would be painful to catch fish in the sea and be stung for a long time..." The fisherman was immediately happy.

After half an hour of going back and forth, all the seafood on the fishing boats were brought ashore and sorted. The fishermen who sold the fish and shrimps happily took advantage of the darkness and rowed away with coins. On the beach at dusk, more than a dozen earthen stoves had already started to make fires and cook, and hundreds of people were busy packing up and preparing supper.

A total of hundreds of sea fish were made. The largest one was three feet long, but most of them were only more than a foot. The larger ones were taken by the chef to cut them off and clean them and marinated them on a large boat. The smaller ones were prepared for dinner.

There are dozens of swift crabs, and they are also cleaned and prepared to make a few pots of spicy crabs for everyone to taste. The prawns are still burned with water, which is both simple and delicious, and they don’t even need to be fried.

The fish, shrimps and crabs were cooked by the chefs and chefs of two large ships under the command of the chefs of the Hou Mansion. Chen Xu once again put on his own chef's outfit and turned into the chief chef to start cooking.

First of all, I picked up shells for the afternoon today, including clams and razor clams, which were dozens of kilograms. After sorting according to variety, I had been raised in clean water for nearly two hours. Chen Xu asked the chef to jump more than ten kilograms to clean them up and set aside.

Heat the oil pan, add ginger, garlic and pepper to stir-fry, then pour in the clams and stir-fry for a few minutes. After all the shells are spread, sprinkle in some five-spice powder and mustard to continue stir-frying. After the strong aroma is released, add water, pour some soy sauce and salt, add chopped green onion, cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes to finish the soup.

When Chen Xu was doing it, two chefs watched it carefully. After understanding it, they would go to the stove next to them to make a tasting for other servants and boatmen.

When Chen Xu was busy, the chef of the Hou Mansion was next to him soaked the vermicelli brought from Xianyang, cut the onions into shreds, peeled the garlic and mashed them into garlic paste. There were also the chef who cut the ginger and cut the ginger, wash the onions, clean the iron plate, charcoal stove, barbecue rack, prepare bamboo sticks and various barbecue seasonings, etc.

This huge chef team divided the labor and coordinated only shocked a group of alchemists who were left by Chen Xu.

"It smells so fragrant, this must be the most fragrant dish I have ever smelled in my life, no doubt about it!"

A strong fragrance floated in the air, a group of alchemists seduced Adam's apples trembled, and saliva came out one after another.

"Indeed, Qinghe Hou is known as the originator of food, and it is indeed well-known. With this taste alone, I can't walk anymore!" Another alchemist also couldn't stop his beard and eyebrows.

"It's true that the aroma is irresistible, and the taste is definitely beautiful. It's a pity that I can't make it even if I learn it. It's hard to prepare these sauces, seasonings, and other daily necessities..."

"Yes, I can't enjoy such a luxurious way to eat like Qinghehou!"

A group of alchemists stood beside him and smelled the fragrance and discussed. Chen Xu's movements were also very slick. Soon a large pot of clams came out of the pot. Chen Xu tasted three, four, five, six, seven or eight in one breath before he reluctantly put down his chopsticks.

Although it spans two thousand years of time and space, this simple and cheap seafood is still the most familiar delicious food, which makes him unable to stop.

After tasting the aftertaste of the clams, Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and then finished the second dish, stir-fried clams.

The taste of this dish is even stronger, and the fresh and spicy smell spreads with the evening breeze, not only seducing most of the boatmen and musket team members, but also seducing Ying Shiman, Meng Wan, Yu Ji, Chen Xi and other people who were playing on the beach halfway inside and outside also seduced them back, laughing and watching around the stove.

"Husband, can these shells really be eaten?" At this time, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan still didn't believe it.

"How can you deceive you, my husband? It's really delicious. In the past, the food stalls... Well, the fishermen on the seaside don't know how to make them. This pot of flower shells has been made. You can taste them first!"

"Mom, Xi'er wants to eat flower shells!" Xiao Chen Xi is well aware of his father's food. He is never picky about food. As long as it is made by his father, it will definitely be in line with her appetite. He grabbed Ying Shiman's sleeve and started yelling.

A maid quickly took an enamel bowl and put some clams on the chopping board. Chen Xi picked up one and didn't know how to put it in her mouth, so she had to look at her father with a pair of clear and watery big eyes.

Chen Xu put down the spatula, picked up one from the vegetable pot with his hands, first sucked the remaining soup in the shell with his mouth, and then digged out the clam meat inside and put it into his mouth with his hands.

In an instant, a delicious taste with scallion sauce spreads in the mouth.

Although this dish is not much different from the ingredients to the recipe and the spicy snails, its taste is not the same. The natural umami flavor of sea shells alone is enough to improve the quality of this dish countless times, and is a world of difference from the snails growing in the mud of inland ponds and rivers.

Although the snails are also good, they naturally have a mud smell. Therefore, they need to be kept in clean water for two or three days before eating. The tip of the snail must be pinched off and the internal organs will be removed, otherwise the strong earthy smell and mud will be unbearable. Even if the snails are processed very clean every time, Chen Xu still needs to add enough sauce and ingredients to use a strong fragrance to cover up the mud smell in the Zhonghe snails.

In fact, eating snails is the taste of a spice sauce, and then it is a pastime for chatting and drinking. It is really delicious.

But sea shells are different. The sea sand is clean and basically no pollution, so there is no mud flavor. Moreover, the natural umami taste does not require too many seasonings and spices to make it very delicious.

Therefore, in essence, snails and clams are completely different dishes of fundamentally different grades.

One represents a roadside stall.

One represents the food stall.

Although they are all late-night snacks at the civilian level, the venues make their status clearly differentiate.

"See, it's just like this, Daddy!" Chen Xu slapped his lips and threw the shells on the ground with a smile.

Chen Xi started eating before his father finished speaking. She sucked the soup first, and before she could eat meat, she shouted excitedly: "Wow, it's so delicious, mom, aunt, eat it quickly..."

Although Chen Xi was young, her eating speed was not inferior to adults. Her small hands danced quickly, sucking soup, eating clams, and throwing shells in one go, which was deeply rooted in Xing'er's inheritance of delicious food. She ate three or four in an instant, and while eating, she had to stare at the enamel bowl in front of her, for fear that the people next to her would snatch her delicious food.

"It's really so delicious?" Yu Ji hesitated and picked up a clam and sucked it. Her beautiful little face instantly unfolded with incredible surprise, and she instantly turned into another beautiful clam beast and started to eat.

"I'll try one too!" Meng Wan looked at the two little ladies who were having a lot of food, couldn't help but pick up one, opened her mouth and sucked it gently.

"Wow, it's really delicious. It's much better than the sauce snails. Sister, try it quickly..."
