As long as there were fish, the cooperation between Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles would produce a steady stream of profits.
Crispy Noodles knew how to use his tail to disguise himself as a bug or a weed to lure the fish closer. Ah Meow was fast and accurate. As long as the fish were close to the water, the fish would not be able to escape.
They were right above the school of fish. Li Du kept throwing bait to attract the red salmon. Crispy Noodles wagged his tail to attract the red salmon, and Ah Meow took action.
With the division of labor and the assembly line production, they worked together to catch five big red salmon.
Hans raised his fishing rod with a face full of envy and jealousy. "D * mn, there are so many fish. Why didn't any come to me?"
Li Du shrugged. "You have to think about it. You can't even compare to an ocelot and a raccoon. What's the use of having you?"
Hans looked over and sneered. "Hey, look at that little b * tch Crispy Noodles. What a little b * tch. He's shaking his butt with so much energy."
When Crispy Noodles heard him say his name, he could tell that his tone was not friendly. He gave him a look of disdain.
The last person in the assembly line was Brother Wolf. He cleaned up the fish that had been caught. Big Quinn put the smokeless charcoal into the oven and started to prepare the fire.
They caught another fish. Six big fish were enough to eat, mainly because Godzilla was a glutton. Otherwise, three fish would have been enough for them.
The flesh of the red salmon was very thick. There were no bones or internal organs. Every fleshy, round fish was all meat.
"Finally, cut this fish into fillets. We'll eat sashimi," Li Du said.
Hans asked, "Did you bring the mustard?"
Li Du said, "There's chili sauce. It's also very refreshing and exciting to eat with it."
Hans was speechless.
Brother Wolf washed the fish in front and followed Li Du's instructions. He cut the fish deep along the spine. The red salmon did not have a fishy smell, so there was no need to remove it. This saved a lot of effort.
The other ingredients, such as onions, potatoes, cabbage, and other vegetables, were all prepared in the Native American store.
Big Quinn put the foil on the tray and asked, "Boss, are we putting the fish in to stew? This is grilled fish? This is stewed fish, right? "
Li Du skewered the fish with a harpoon and said, "No, grill it first, so it's called grilled fish."
The harpoon spun above the flames of the oven with the fish stuck in it. He kept rubbing olive oil on it to ensure that the fish would be cooked and not burnt.
Big Quinn was an expert in this area. He took over the task of grilling the fish and got busy.
"Roast all five fish and put them in. This really needs to be stewed," Li Du instructed.
In fact, according to the traditional method, one could not use an open fire when grilling fish. Instead, they had to use an oven. However, where could they find an oven on a ship?
They didn't even have a pot, let alone an oven. The chili oil and sesame oil were all prepared when they were in town.
Li Du had to thank the previous wave of compatriots who came to eat the grilled fish. Those people were definitely foodies. They had prepared enough Chinese condiments such as peppers, star anise, and cinnamon. They had also traded with the Native Americans and left the food for them.
The tray could hold up to two fish. When Big Quinn was done grilling, Li Du put the fish and the condiments on the tray, added water, chili oil, and sesame oil, and stewed it together.
As it was not easy to grill the fish using an open fire, Li Du wanted to stew it for a while. He took out the fish that Brother Wolf had cut and gestured for everyone to eat the salmon sashimi first.
The red salmon's eggs were the real essence, which was the caviar. Although it was not as good as the top sturgeon caviar, it was still a luxury.
Brother Wolf was nimble. When he took out the roe, he sprinkled fine salt on it to marinate it.
The roe could be eaten with bread and butter. Li Du had thought of this beforehand and had prepared these things in advance.
He spread butter on two slices of fresh bread and dipped the orange-red roe on top of the butter. It looked even more tempting than the grilled fish.
Victoria and Ivana were eating happily, and Li Du was feeding the three furry children fish.
The red salmon here had a high fat content. The fish was delicate, firm, and glossy. Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles ate happily.
Ah Ow was not very interested in the fish. After eating a few slices, she turned around and ran to Victoria and Ivana to ask for bread.
This had to do with her diet. When she was young, Sophie often dipped bread in meat broth to help her digest better. As a result, she remembered the taste of bread and was used to eating pasta.
Hans watched Ah Ow eat the bread with relish and said, "This silly child will be raised to be a dog sooner or later."
Ah Ow felt the malice in his tone and turned to glare at him. She bared her teeth and pretended to attack. She was like a fox exploiting a tiger's might.
Above the campfire, the fish soup bubbled and the roasted red salmon began to emit a delicious aroma.
Li Du tore half of the grilled fish and gave it to Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles. Together with the fish slices, the two of them were soon full.
After feeding the little ones, they began to share the grilled fish.
Sichuan-style grilled fish was not in line with the American diet. Although there were few fish bones, the taste was too strong. The two little girls could not stand it after eating a few pieces of fish and continued to eat the bread with the roe.
Li Du tasted the fish and felt that it was cooked. He nodded and said, "Come, everyone can eat."
He tore a piece of snow-white fish with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth. The fish was tender and springy, with a fresh and sweet taste. It was much more delicious than grass carp and carp.
Godzilla, Big Quinn, and Brother Wolf wolfed down the fish. Hans ate two pieces and was not interested. However, seeing that the people around him were eating so enthusiastically, he asked doubtfully, "Can you guys get used to it?"
Godzilla said, "As long as we can eat it. It's not that we can't get used to it."
Brother Wolf said, "I ate cow dung when I participated in field training."
Big Quinn said, "This is authentic Chinese food. How much would it cost if you ate it in a restaurant?"
Hans was speechless.
Regardless of whether the others could get used to it or not, Li Du was very used to it.
However, because the seasoning used was not authentic, the dish was not a success. However, the outstanding quality of the red salmon made up for these problems and the taste was still very good.
The river was relatively calm, but it did not stop flowing.
The boat moved slowly along with the river. The Colorado River was very clear, the winter sun above their heads was very warm, and the wind blowing on them was not too cold.
The leaves in the surrounding forest had fallen, and only some pine trees were still green. Looking around, Li Du felt that the environment was a little bleak.
At this time, a poem that he had not thought of before automatically came to his mind: The endless falling trees rustle down, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in!
Winter and grilled fish were a perfect match. Li Du was sweating profusely as he ate.
The others also ate warmly. Brother Wolf and Godzilla started to take off their clothes again.
There were people fishing in small boats around them. When they passed by, they left a lot of surprised and envious eyes. Some people even praised, "Hey, guys, you really know how to enjoy life!"
