"Can't you sprinkle salt?" Chen Qingsheng said awkwardly.
"It's not that you can't add salt, it's just that this fish itself is saltier than most other sea fish. That's why I asked you to make a pot of soup at the beginning, so that the saltiness of the fish can be cooked into the soup." Zhang Qicheng said.
"I'll do it."
Zhang Qicheng poured clean water into the pot, and after the water boiled, he put the diced fish in.
"You go and make some oil." Zhang Qicheng said.
Chen Qingsheng hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the aroma of stonefish filled the entire deck.
Zhang Qicheng sniffed hard, turned his head and shouted towards the cabin: "The fish is cooked, is the oil fried?"
"Okay, okay." Chen Qingsheng ran over with a small pot of oil.
Zhang Qicheng lifted the lid of the pot and shouted, "Pour it out."
When boiling tea seed oil is poured into the pot, the fish meat immediately sizzles, and the green onions on the fish cubes give off an aroma that makes your mouth dry.
Zhang Qicheng clapped his hands, "It's done, we can eat now."
"Come on, Xiang Yang, have a bowl first."
Zhang Qicheng served Xiang Yang a small bowl.
Xiang Yang smiled and poured half of the small bowl out to Chen Qingsheng. Although the stonefish was big, there were more people on the boat, so Xiang Yang just needed to taste it to see if it tasted good. Anyway, Chen Qingsheng had already learned how to cook stonefish this time. If it was really delicious, Xiang Yang would have plenty of opportunities to eat it in the future.
Chen Qingsheng didn't expect that the stone fish would have its own share.
As a crew member, Chen Qingsheng certainly knows how expensive stonefish is. Generally, a stonefish weighing more than one kilogram can be sold at wholesale for about two hundred yuan per kilogram. In the market, it usually costs four to five hundred yuan per kilogram. In the hotel, eight hundred yuan per kilogram is considered cheap.
Especially now that this stonefish weighs almost ten kilograms, the price of a stonefish of this size will be several times higher.
"Eat it." Xiang Yang said with a smile, "If it tastes good, I'll go down and catch a few more, and let everyone have a good meal at noon."
"Captain, you eat first." Chen Qingsheng said hurriedly.
Xiang Yang smiled, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. It was really so delicious that it seemed as if ten thousand taste buds bloomed on his tongue in an instant.
Li Chao and his friends also started eating, holding their bowls and praising the stonefish in their bowls.
"Hey, Mr. Song, why aren't you eating?" Zhou Lili suddenly asked.
Xiang Yang also looked towards the side of the boat, and saw Song Guoning looking up at the distant horizon. Instead of eating the stone fish, he lit a cigarette.
"You guys eat, I'll go look at the sea." Song Guoning said with a smile.
Xiang Yang walked over with a smile. He found that he had a good impression of Song Guoning because they had a common hobby, the sea.
"Mr. Song, you rarely see the ocean, right?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
Song Guoning shook his head. "I have seen a lot, but I am still attracted by this beautiful picture of the ocean. If someone has only seen the ocean once in his life, he will never forget this surging sea spectacle. When the weather is clear, the golden sun will slowly rise from the sea level, shining on the blue ocean, reflecting a brilliant and colorful picture. When a storm comes, the sea surface will be stirred up by huge waves, becoming turbulent, and making people's mood become open and surging."
"That's right. What's the old saying? The land is not as big as the sea, and the mountains are not as deep as the sea. Facing this vast ocean, who wouldn't have a broad mind?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Song Guoning suddenly looked up at Xiang Yang, blinked and said, "Boss Xiang, do you know of any larger, undeveloped islands nearby? Can we develop one together?"
Xiang Yang shook his head. "There are a few islands, but they are all very small. Some of them even sink to the bottom of the sea during high tide and become something like reefs. They have no development value at all, unless we build artificial islands."
"An artificial island?" Song Guoning's mouth twitched. The so-called artificial island generally refers to a new land built by artificially filling the sea with rocks and earth bags on land. Most artificial islands are built on the basis of natural islands or reefs that already exist in the ocean. Such a huge project cannot be accomplished by a single person or a single company.
Xiang Yang is not very interested in developing the island.
It’s not that developing islands is not profitable.
Developing islands is actually very profitable, and many islands are now tourist destinations.
But the investment in developing the island is really too huge, and that number is an astronomical figure for Xiang Yang.
If Xiang Yang had that kind of money, he would rather open a concept restaurant on the sea.
At present, someone in the world has designed a concept restaurant that can float on the sea without relying on any islands or reefs. I heard that there are endless tourists going there every day, and the restaurant is making a lot of money.
Of course, the cost of opening a concept restaurant of this kind is an astronomical figure, at least Xiang Yang cannot afford it at the moment.
What Xiang Yang is most interested in now is the development of some sports and entertainment projects.
Many marine sports are very popular among tourists, such as sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, surfing, etc.
None of this requires any investment of money, Xiang Yang can easily do it by himself.
At this time, Li Chao came over, he put one hand on Xiang Yang's shoulder and the other on Song Guoning's shoulder, "Brother Ning, we haven't seen the scenery on land yet, how about the scenery on the sea? Is it suitable for development?"
Song Guoning frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "Although I haven't seen the whole thing yet, it does seem like something is possible. Mr. Li, feel free to go for it. Just say a word if you want money or people."
"You are such a good friend." Li Chao turned his head and looked at Xiang Yang. "Brother Xiang, do you want to invest in it? I will give you a project that may not make a lot of money, but it can generate a steady and continuous income."
Xiang Yang didn't agree immediately. He asked tentatively, "What project? How can I invest?"
"I saw you were enjoying diving just now. Actually, you may not know that diving is no longer just a way of fishing. It is now an increasingly popular marine sport. With the development of coastal tourism in various places, more and more people are beginning to like diving."
Xiang Yang nodded. He knew that diving not only allows one to dive to the bottom of the sea and see the most authentic and natural living conditions of marine creatures, but it can also entertain the mind and body and strengthen the body. There are indeed a lot of people who like this.
"For diving, you need equipment, right? How much does a set of diving equipment cost? At least a few thousand dollars, right? Most people may not be willing to spend this money for a single trip. So here comes the business opportunity. You can bring back some equipment, such as the smallest oxygen tank, which can last for fifteen or twenty minutes. It costs one hundred dollars. Is there anyone who wants to rent it?"
