After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

Lu Ao's spirit lifted, and he immediately ignored the fact that Songzhou had brought him here just now, and punched Songzhou with his elbow, "I just saw a fish, let's go and have a look!"

Song Zhou had already seen what it was, and reminded him, "Be careful."

Lu Ao nodded and ran over to check the situation.

Halfway through the run, he saw half of the fish's body protruding from under the aquatic plants, and suddenly felt something was wrong, his expression changed slightly and he took two steps back.

At this moment, under the light of the torch, a slender figure nearly two meters in front jumped forward and disappeared among the water plants in an instant.

Lu Ao's scalp was numb, he swallowed, and looked at Songzhou in surprise, "Did you see clearly just now?"

"I see clearly." Song Zhou knew what he was thinking, "Don't worry, it's not a snake."

Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "I was startled, I thought it was a water snake."

"No, it's an eel."

"No wonder."

The last time Lu Ao saw an eel was more than ten years ago, he took two steps forward cautiously, "Is it still there?"

"Still, be careful, don't get bitten."

Lu Ao nodded, "I see."

He walked over slowly, picked apart the water plants with iron tongs, and soon saw a tawny figure motionless under the water.

Lu Ao picked apart the nearby aquatic plants again, but before he could move any further, the eel jumped out again with a whoosh.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the big eel was directly picked up and rolled in the air, and fell to the shallow water not far away with a "slap", twisting its slender body, rolling and fleeing.

Lu Ao quickly took a few steps forward, pinching and picking the iron tongs in his hand.

The eel was thrown straight to the shore where there was little water.

The big eel turned around, twisted its body and fled into the water again.

Lu Ao waded through the water to catch up, stepping on the eel's head neatly with his feet in water shoes.

The eel tossed and turned in the water, writhing like a twist, and his heavy body slapped his waders.

Lu Ao watched the yellow-brown eel turn over there, and his scalp felt a little numb.

This eel is abnormally fat, over 1.6 meters by visual inspection, with a very round body, which looks as thick as the forearm of an adult man.

When the eel rolled over, it often touched Lu Ao's feet. Fortunately, he was wearing water pants, so he didn't have to feel the feeling when the eel's body touched the human body.

Even so, Lu Ao couldn't bear it.

The eel was still moving, Lu Ao stepped on it, looked up at Songzhou, and said hurriedly, "Bucket, quickly bring the bucket."

There was a smile in Song Zhou's eyes, and while handing him the bucket, he said, "This bucket may not hold it."

"No way?" Lu Ao looked at the small bucket brought over, and then at the thick and long eel, feeling a little uncertain, "Squeezing seems okay?"

Song Zhou affirmed again: "I can't pretend."

"Then you help carry it back first?" Lu Ao was not sure, "I still have a big water tank at home?"

"I'm afraid it's not good for such a big eel to escape from the house. Or go here first this time, tell your friends and go back directly?"

Lu Ao looked at the big eel that was still tumbling under his feet, hesitant, and finally the desire for the eel overcame the desire for the crab, and agreed, "Okay, I will tell them."

Lu Ao called Lin Manzhang and said that they caught a big eel today, and it was not easy to put it in the bucket, so they went back first, and we will meet again next time.

Lin Manzhang didn't say anything, "Okay, the next time we get together, we didn't catch any crabs."

Lin Gongshang was not satisfied with being nearby, so he leaned over and yelled loudly into the phone: "That's all for today?"

"otherwise?"

Lin Gongshang groaned and chirped, not knowing what to do otherwise.

Lin Manzhang simply turned on the loudspeaker to let them talk.

Lu Ao reassured him, "Let's make an appointment tomorrow, I guess we won't be in the mood to catch crabs tonight."

Lin Gongshang muttered, "We can catch them here, we have caught three of them."

"Who will eat enough if you catch three?" Lin Manzhang said helplessly to Lu Ao: "It's okay, Lu Ao, you go back first, we will go back to Linwu Village along the coastline later, the car parked at your house We'll ride again tomorrow." "

"Okay, I'm sorry today."

"It's okay, it's a small matter, next time call Tan Junhao and the others to get together."

After Lin Manzhang hung up the phone, Lin Gongshang was still muttering in his ear, "I also said that Lu Ao finally came back and wanted to have a meal with him."

Lin Manzhang persuaded: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, people are with friends, what are you doing?"

Lin Qiyan said casually from the side: "That's right, they might be on a date."

"what?"

As soon as Lin Qiyan spoke, the two turned their heads and stared at him with all four eyes.

He was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Aren't you homophobic?"

Lin Gongshang still couldn't come to his senses, "I'm afraid it has something to do with dating?"

"Otherwise, what are you looking at me for?"

Lingong said: "You said that the two old men are dating, don't you surprise us? I have goosebumps."

Lin Qiyan was embarrassed to say that he felt that Lu Ao was the same, he smelled the same kind of breath.

He said vaguely: "I'll just say it casually, your reaction is so strange, I was shocked."

"You still scared me, I'm getting goosebumps." Lingong merchant muttered, "Forget it, let's go back early, we have to get up early to fish tomorrow."

Lu Ao was completely unaware of Lin Qiyan's speculation, he and Song Zhou had already returned home.

He forcefully stuffed the big eel into the bucket with the lid on it, so Lu Ao was afraid that the eel would come out and bite them.

The eel's teeth are so sharp that they are not inferior to ordinary daggers. If it is bitten, a piece of meat will be gone.

When he got home, Lu Ao hurriedly said, "Hurry up, put the eel down."

"Where?"

"Just put it on the ground and let it struggle for a while."

Song Zhou put the bucket behind the gate of the courtyard and moved away a little.

The eel jumped out immediately and rolled around on the concrete floor.

Lu Ao looked at the big eel and sighed, "I didn't expect to meet such a big eel, it weighs at least eight catties."

The eel looks scary, but the taste is notoriously good.

After watching for a while, he rubbed his stomach and asked, "Do you want to have a late-night snack?"

"What to eat?"

"Just eat eel rice. I have eaten it in restaurants before. It tastes very good. We make this wild conger eel ourselves, and the taste should be even better."

"eat."

"Then let's kill the eels first." Lu Ao looked at Song Zhou with expectation in his eyes, "Can you kill fish?"

Song Zhou looked at him.

Lu Ao rubbed his nose, "This eel is too big, I'm not sure."

Song Zhou looked away, "I'll kill it."

Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the eel to him.

Song Zhou approached the eel, bent down and pressed on the eel. Somehow he did it, but the eel immediately stopped moving.

Holding the head of the eel, he lifted the fish and walked into the kitchen.

Lu Ao waited in the yard.

After a while, Song Zhou came out wiping his hands, "Okay."

Lu Ao looked into the kitchen. The kitchen was clean. There was a pile of eel meat, a pile of eel bones, and a small pile of eel liver on the chopping board.

As for the fish head and viscera, they are already in the trash can.

This clean scene was much higher than Lu Ao's expectations. He felt relieved and said gratefully: "Sit down for a while, watch TV and play with your mobile phone. I'll go fish."

Songzhou asked: "Do you need me to help?"

"No, I'll do it. Just wait and eat."

Song Zhou said: "I'll wash the vegetables for you."

Seeing that he really didn't intend to go out to rest, Lu Ao didn't force him, so he washed his hands first, went to wash the rice and happily prepared to cook.

For eel rice, the rice used as the base material is quite important. The rice must be neither soft nor hard, with distinct grains, so that it is delicious when served with eel meat.

After washing the rice and putting it into the rice cooker to start cooking, Lu Ao began to process the eel meat.

Marinate the eel bone and liver with scallion ginger water and white wine for 5 minutes, then set up a small pot, sauté the scallion, ginger, and pepper rings until fragrant, then add the fish bone and liver to fry slowly over low heat.

When it is almost fried, put the onions and carrots into it and fry briefly, then pour soy sauce, oil consumption, sugar, water, etc. into the pot, bring to a boil on high heat, then simmer slowly on low heat, until it thickens, it becomes the sauce.

Wash the skin of the eel with salt, wash off the mucus on it, and then dry it with kitchen paper, then put it in a pot and fry it slowly over low heat.

At this time, pour out the sauce that has just been boiled, and filter it through a strainer, only the sauce, not the material inside.

The eel in the pot is frying while brushing the sauce on it, brushing the front and back sides back and forth until the color of the whole eel turns brown.

Unagi rice was supposed to use grilled eel.

There is no charcoal fire in Lu Ao's house, so he can make do with frying.

As the color of the eel pieces in the pot became more and more intense, Lu Ao swallowed, scooped them up, and replaced them with new eel meat to fry.

Lu Ao is full of patience for delicious food. A pot of eel meat weighs at least seven or eight catties. He fried them meticulously. The color of the finally fried eel pieces is almost exactly the same—they are all burnt yellow fish with sauce on them. The luster of the dish, sprinkled with a few chopped green onions, the rich aroma hits people's foreheads.

Lu Ao brought a large plate of eel meat to the yard, "Is the meal ready?"

"Okay, I jumped to the heat preservation mode 10 minutes ago."

"That's fine, let's eat first." Lu Ao went to the disinfection cupboard and brought out two large plates, and took spoons and chopsticks.

He turned on the rice cooker to check the condition of the rice.

The freshly cooked rice is still steaming, exuding a burst of fragrance.

Song Zhou loosened the rice and scooped it up on the plates of the two of them, forming a semicircle.

Lu Ao used chopsticks to cover a large piece of eel meat on top of the rice until all the rice was completely covered and no grain of rice could be seen before pouring two spoonfuls of sauce on each.

Two large plates of eel rice are ready.

Under the light, the sauce on the eel was shiny, and Lu Ao's eyes were also bright.

Seeing this, Song Zhou couldn't help smiling.

Lu Ao couldn't care about anything else. He picked up his chopsticks and looked at Song Zhou opposite him, "Are you ready to eat?"

Song Zhou smiled, "Let's eat."

Lu Ao immediately picked up a piece of eel meat and gently stuffed it into his mouth.

The eel piece is very thick, covered with sauce, soft, fresh and hot, very tender.

Even if it is fried, this is the most tender fish Lu Ao has ever eaten.

This kind of tenderness is not as tender as that of egg custard, it is not so smooth, but with a light sip, the meat will be completely broken.

The eel originally had spines, but the fried eel pieces can be chewed off together with the spines.

I don't know if it's because of the freshness, but the eel has no fishy smell at all, only indescribably fresh and tender, and even the skin is extra chewy.

Lu Ao ate a mouthful of fish, and then a big mouthful of rice.

The rice was still hot, and the hot rice was wrapped in eel sauce. The saltiness was just right. After eating such a big bite, there was no other disadvantage except the high calorie content.

The rice is mixed with the eel juice, and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes. Finally, the sweetness of the rice is the base, and the eel rice is finished.

Lu Ao didn't expect eel rice to have this effect at all, so he sighed. "It's not a loss to sell 81 catties of eels outside."

Song Zhou swallowed the rice in his mouth and boasted, "It's really delicious, the ingredients are good, and your craftsmanship is also good."

"It's mainly thanks to the ingredients." Lu Ao bit down a large mouthful of eel meat contentedly, and said inarticulately: "Compared to eating delicious eel rice, this eel is big enough, and you can eat it until you are satisfied." Happiest."

"That's right. Is there any wine in the house?"

Hearing his question, Lu Ao remembered, "Yes, I haven't finished the wine you gave me last time. Let's drink some of that wine?"

"it is good."

Lu Ao lowered his head and hurriedly took another big mouthful of white rice before he stood up and said vaguely, "I'll go get it out."

Soon, the spirit wine was taken out, and the amber liquid was poured into a snow-white porcelain cup.

Lu Ao took a sip lightly, and an indescribable taste came straight to the back of his head.

After drinking, have a big mouthful of eel rice.

The softer the eel, the sweeter the rice. The rice wrapped in sauce can capture the soul of a person.

Spirit wine, eel rice.

These two kinds of foods that sound completely incompatible can only be known how suitable they are when put together.

Lu Ao ate without raising his head.

After nearly an hour, the big pot of white rice was finished, and all the eels on the plate were also eaten.

Lu Ao drank two bowls of wine, he was not drunk, but he felt a sense of satisfaction.

Song Zhou packed up his things and sent them to the kitchen for washing.

Lu Ao sat in the yard and looked up at the stars, his head bit by bit.

Song Zhou came out after washing the dishes, and tapped the back of his chair lightly, "I'll go back first."

It was so pleasant to be with Song Zhou this night, Lu Ao was a little bit reluctant to let him go, so he stood up and followed him like a little follower, "Sit no longer?"

Song Zhou turned to look at him, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Lu Ao rubbed his eyes, and said lazily: "I'm not very sleepy, just sit a little longer and look at the stars."

"Next time." Song Zhou rolled his eyes, "I'll come back tomorrow."

Lu Ao couldn't move his head very well. Hearing this, he looked at him with a pair of dull eyes, and it took him a while to realize, "It's done."

"It's settled." Song Zhou smiled, "I'll teach you how to rain tomorrow, and I'll have dinner with you by the way."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to catch some delicious fish, so let's stay and eat together."

"Well, I'll bring some other ingredients over." Song Zhou waved his hand, his voice was very gentle, "Good night."

"Good night."

His figure quickly disappeared, Lu Ao stared blankly at the empty yard, paused for a while, and then shuffle back to the house to wash up.

I don't know if it's because I ate eel rice or drank wine tonight.

He relaxed for the first time in a long time.

He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time since his parents died.

The warm bath water came down, and Lu Ao stood under the shower and yawned.

The loneliness in my heart seemed to be washed away by the melting of hot water.

He put on his pajamas, lay down on the soft and wide bed, covered with a quilt.

Almost as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a warm and fragrant dream.
