Many people love fishing very much, and even think that fishing is their life. They even neglect their work for this and sometimes even have quarrels with their wives.
But when it came time to eat the fish, they wouldn't even look at it.
Xiang Yang’s math teacher in his senior year of high school was like this: he liked to go fishing whenever he had some free time, but he never ate the fish he caught.
Chen Qingsheng pointed to the crew members chatting on the deck and the dock outside and said, "It's easy for the old crew members like Fang Youqun. They have experienced my cooking skills and will definitely eat it. But it's hard to say for the new crew members, especially the college students who came from the city. You will see later that some of them will not want the soup or secretly pour it away after they have asked for it."
Xiang Yang nodded to show his understanding.
In fact, Xiang Yang himself has this problem. He doesn't think it's a big deal when he eats at home or in a restaurant, but when he eats at someone else's house, he always feels that the food is not to his taste.
"Let them eat it a few times, and they'll get used to it." Xiang Yang walked out of the cabin with a smile, clapped his hands and shouted, "The crab soup is ready."
My colleague Chen Qingsheng lifted the lid of the pot, and immediately the rich aroma of crabs flooded the entire deck.
As soon as the crew members inhaled the fragrance, they immediately started drooling. Even those crew members who were just joining in the fun at the beginning and had no real hope for the crab soup swallowed their saliva.
fragrant.
This fragrance is so damn fragrant.
The old sailors who had eaten the meals cooked by Chen Qingsheng thought it was natural. The big wild crabs, fresh coconut meat, and the soup made from coconut milk, it would be a miracle if they didn't taste good.
"Come on, give me a bowl first." Fatty Zuo came out and shouted. He came this time too, uninvited, just waiting for this bite.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Serve it yourself."
A group of people immediately started moving and rushed into the cabin.
"Everyone, drink more. Don't save it for me." Xiang Yang shouted. Although Xiang Yang was very reluctant when Fang Youqun wanted to drink it, as if the crab soup was really limited, in fact, twenty people caught crabs on the deserted island for more than half an hour. It was not enough for everyone to eat, but it was definitely more than enough for everyone to satisfy their cravings.
"Don't forget to pick up a crab when scooping the soup. Although the soup is fragrant, the meat is more tender. Come and try the captain's cooking." Chen Qingsheng also shouted.
Xiang Yang felt a little embarrassed by what Chen Qingsheng said. This was not the craft of him and Chen Qingsheng, it was clearly the craft of Chen Qingsheng alone.
But Xiang Yang didn't say anything. Anyway, he rarely had the opportunity to cook by himself. Even if everyone recognized that this was his own skill, no one would know that it was fake.
Xia Pengjie broke off a crab leg and took a tentative bite. Then his eyes lit up and he immediately drank a mouthful of the crab soup.
Then he closed his eyes in ecstasy. The sweet taste of crab and the fragrance of coconut seemed to awaken his taste buds instantly.
"Chiu—"
Xia Pengjie was startled by the loud eagle cry.
When Xia Pengjie opened his eyes, he saw a big bird staring at him fiercely. He was immediately startled, and then he remembered that it seemed to be Xiang Yang's Steller's sea eagle.
"You want to eat crabs, too, right?" Xia Pengjie smiled, threw the gnawed crab leg in his left hand to the ground, and said generously, "Eat it."
The Steller's sea eagle looked down at the crab leg, pecked it once and then stopped. It looked up at Xia Pengjie with great dissatisfaction.
Xia Pengjie suddenly realized, "Oh, so you don't eat crabs? Then I'm going to start eating. Wait for me to finish eating and then I'll play with you."
So, the Steller's sea eagle watched helplessly as Xia Pengjie gnawed a crab until there was not even any meat left, and Xia Pengjie even threw a little crab meat to it.
The Steller's sea eagle glanced at Xia Pengjie, then walked towards another crew member on its bird legs.
When Xia Pengjie saw it, he quickly shouted, "Huh? Why are you leaving? Hey, don't leave. We'll be done eating soon and I can play with you."
The Steller's sea eagle flapped its wings and landed next to Su Shiming.
Su Shiming just turned his head to take a look, then continued to gnaw on the crab in his hand.
The Steller's sea eagle thought that Su Shiming didn't see it, and suddenly became very anxious. It flapped its wings and jumped in front of Su Shiming.
He took Su Shiming's bowl and drank all the remaining soup in his own bowl in one gulp. Then he burped and looked at the Steller's sea eagle with an innocent face.
Xiang Yang waved to the Steller's sea eagle after seeing it, "Tiger, here."
When the Steller's sea eagle heard Xiang Yang calling it, it immediately ran towards Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang threw a piece of stewed coconut meat to it.
The Steller's sea eagle ate it immediately in one bite, then raised its head and continued to look at Xiang Yang eagerly.
"Wait a minute, I'll help you see if there are any crabs in the pot." Xiang Yang walked into the cabin with a smile, added a big blue crab and a few pieces of coconut meat to the Steller's sea eagle, and then poured them in front of the Steller's sea eagle.
After seeing this, Xia Pengjie said in disbelief: "Captain, you feed this bird?"
Xiang Yang asked in confusion: "Why? Steller's sea eagles can't eat cooked food?" Xiang Yang had never paid attention to this. It would be troublesome if Steller's sea eagles couldn't eat cooked food.
"This crab costs more than a hundred yuan each, right?" Xia Pengjie said with a smile: "You can feed it to the birds." He looked at the crab that the Steller's sea eagle was pecking at, and he wished he could snatch it back.
Xiang Yang didn't care about it. He smiled and said, "What I learned from others, I should teach more people. What I earned from others, I should give back to more people. Everything I have comes from this sea. Giving back is natural. It is worth it no matter how much money I spend."
"What you have learned should be taught to others, and what you have earned should be given back. The return is worth any amount of money spent." Xia Pengjie murmured these words.
"Okay." Xiang Yang said with a smile, "It's getting late. You've been riding in cars and boats today, and you've consumed a lot of energy. If you have nothing to do, go and rest early. You can take a shower on the boat, but if you want hot water, you'll have to make it yourself. There's no hot water equipment on the drift net fishing boat. Haha, there will be hot water when the ocean-going fishing boat comes back."
When Xia Pengjie heard this, it seemed as if a string in his heart was touched.
To be honest, he had been feeling uneasy since he came to Yanlong Village. Even though he had heard of Xiang Yang's legend, he was still confused about what his future would be. He had never thought that following Xiang Yang was a long-term plan.
But right now, after hearing a few simple words from Xiang Yang, he suddenly felt that Xiang Yang might be a boss worthy of trust.
