"noon?"
"night?"
“Everyone eats eel?”
Li Chao was completely confused. "Where did the eel come from? I don't remember there being any eels on the boat."
"My people were just captured last night." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. "When was it caught? How many were caught?"
Zhang Qicheng put down the porcelain spoon and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Don't even think about it. This is a reward from Brother Xiang for the crew. We only caught a few hundred kilograms of fish in total. After removing the internal organs and the fish heads, it's just enough for all of us to have three meals a day."
Li Chao blinked his eyes. To him, eel was a very precious food ingredient. Wild eel meat was plump and tender, and very refreshing. Its texture and taste were just like the meat in the crab's claws.
Especially the grilled eel, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you eat it, it has a blend of tenderness and fragrance, and it has the taste of top-notch seafood.
What's more important is the blood of wild eels.
It is said that the blood of wild eels has the same effect as deer blood. The most important thing is that the blood of wild eels tastes better than deer blood.
Li Chao's family has wine made from eel blood.
After drinking it, people will feel warm all over in winter, and it has a very strong aphrodisiac effect. After a little exercise in the gym, you will immediately sweat all over. It is simply a miracle drug.
"Brother Xiang, I want to discuss something with you." Li Chao said.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "If you want to buy it, it's all gone. If you want to eat, eat as much as you want. I guarantee you'll be full. If there's any left, I'll give it to you."
Li Chao prepared a lot of food on the yacht, including a lot of eel meat. With less than a hundred people to share it with, it would not be finished anyway. Xiang Yang could let everyone eat as much as they wanted. As for the leftovers, Xiang Yang was not going to take them away.
After all, Li Chao spent a lot of money on this trip. According to the rule of reciprocity, Xiang Yang must leave something behind.
Li Chao nodded, said nothing more, and continued to eat breakfast.
The fragrance of wheat grains, mixed with the sweetness of seafood and the unique fragrance of eel, made Li Chao's taste buds bloom instantly.
But Li Chao, like Zhang Qicheng, only ate one bowl.
At their age and net worth, healthy eating is what they value most.
The ingredients of eel porridge must be wild eels.
If you farm eels, the fish meat will basically rot during the porridge cooking process.
However, you can’t eat farmed eels whenever you want.
In "Detective Conan", Shota would say he wanted to eat eel rice every few episodes, but after thousands of episodes, he has never actually eaten it.
Eels are among the oldest creatures in the world and one of the few on the planet suspected to be alien visitors. They are very mysterious.
Our country is the one with the most advanced technology in artificial breeding of eels in the world. Even our neighbor to the east, which is known as a major seafood country, has to place orders with us to import eels.
However, today's eel farmers along the coast of my country are not willing to raise eels at all.
Because eels are very strange fish and can change sex.
Farmed eels are basically all male.
When food or safety is scarce, wild eels are all male.
Only in deep sea areas, when there is plenty of food and a safe environment, will they turn into females and lay eggs.
The technical difficulty of artificially breeding eels is very high.
If it is not a really large farm, it is impossible to get eel fry.
Why do those large farms spend so much effort to raise these extremely difficult and ferocious eels
Wouldn’t it be nice to raise some abalone, golden pomfret, or even sea cucumbers
Of course, if you really want to eat eel, there is a way.
Saltwater eels are hard to find, but freshwater eels are still extremely abundant. On Taobao, fresh freshwater eels only cost a few dozen yuan per pound, and the most expensive ones are no more than 120 to 130 yuan per pound.
After breakfast, Li Chao asked Xiang Yang, "Brother Xiang, what are your plans for today? Are you going to find a shallow area and go diving like you did yesterday?"
Xiang Yang shook his head. "There are too few diving equipment on the cruise ship, and the functions are not very good. If I continue diving, my crew members will have to queue up and may encounter danger under the sea. I will not let them dive today. I want to find an island and land to have some fun."
"Island? Is there an island nearby?" Li Chao asked puzzledly.
Xiang Yang nodded. Of course there must be some. The ocean is so big that it has everything except those deserted islands.
"Okay, you arrange it." Li Chao nodded.
From this sea area to the nearest island, it would take more than two hours even if the cruise ship sailed at the fastest speed.
Li Chao asked someone to bring out chilled foreign liquor from the cabin, wanting to drink with Xiang Yang to pass the time.
Xiang Yang naturally refused. He drank red wine, white wine, beer, and even medicinal wine, but the only thing he couldn't get used to was foreign liquor.
When I drink it, it's like drinking iced black tea, there's no feeling at all, and it doesn't have the refreshing feeling of drinking alcohol at all.
But this stuff has a strong aftereffect, just like fake liquor. After the alcohol takes effect, you will have a terrible headache, and you can't sleep, but you can't stay awake if you don't sleep. The most important thing is that you can't vomit out this stuff after drinking it.
"The weather is nice today. We can lie on the deck to bask in the sun and feel the sea breeze, or we can go fishing behind the deck." Xiang Yang suggested.
There are high-end fishing rods on the cruise ship that cost thousands of dollars each, and many crew members are already fishing at the stern.
Zhang Qicheng was happy to go fishing.
But Li Chao didn't like joining in the fun and was unwilling to go.
"Tell Murong Zhenfei to get up. Let's have a drink and chat." Li Chao calmly asked people to take away the foreign liquor, and then said, "I didn't expect you guys don't like foreign liquor. I didn't bring any red wine this time. I only brought Wuliangye liquor. I don't know if you guys are used to it."
On weekdays, Li Chao always drinks Moutai as his white wine.
This time, the drinks were mainly prepared for the crew members, so the drinks prepared by Li Chao were not too expensive.
"Wuliangye is very good. My father and I usually drink Niulanshan." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"But we should drink this wine at night and not during the day. Brother Chao, let me tell you something. The island we are going to later, I have been there several times with the crew. There are many coral reefs on the island. Under the coral reefs, there are many groupers hiding. The most common ones are blue groupers, but there are also eastern groupers and sea scorpions." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. He said excitedly, "Eastern star grouper and sea scorpion? Brother Xiang, I know you care about me the most. When we get to the island, you must help me."
Zhang Qicheng also said, "Don't let go of the blue grouper. I want all the ones you can get."
