Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 206 Seafood Feast

Master He San smiled approvingly and said, "Then we are in for a treat. Everyone should eat more later."

Jin Qishan was delighted by his support. He waved his hand and the kitchen staff started serving the dishes.

Song Sanniang looked at the maids who came in one after another holding things in their hands. She could only say that what everyone had eaten in the past two days was just some ordinary mainland seafood.

Seeing that she could now eat the king crabs that she had never eaten before, she was filled with anticipation.

First, each table was served with a sliced ​​steamed king crab, which was called stone crab at this time, followed by plates of processed sea urchins and fresh oysters as big as a palm.

There was even tuna. The tuna was not cut thickly, but cut into thin slices and neatly arranged on a delicate plate. It looked attractive in pink. At this time, the tuna was called bluefin tuna.

There is no salmon or lobster, but there are huge shrimps, various shellfish, conchs, mussels, scallops,

There is also the so-called jellyfish sashimi, which is actually mixed jellyfish. There is even a saying that goes, "A thousand dollars spent is just a full meal, a long night of joy is just a drunkenness, all the memories are of jellyfish."

The next hot dish uses some of the ingredients from the Eight Delicacies of the Sea, which are bird's nest, sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, fish maw, scallop, fish lips, and fish roe.

There are shark fin in golden soup, abalone stewed chicken, fragrant snails, stewed oysters, shrimp, fish shoots and fern, stir-fried fern with horseshoe crab sauce, dried Lianfu sea cucumber, white fungus, lotus seeds and fish glue sweet soup,

To make conch sashimi, knock off the shell of the conch and take out the meat, then cut the conch meat into thin slices with a knife and cook it with chicken sauce.

To cook stewed oysters, first wash the oysters with clean water, blanch them in boiling water, remove the shells and take out the meat, boil the fresh soup in the pot, add oysters and seasonings such as salt, ginger, onion, wine, etc., and simmer them over low heat until cooked before eating.

Shrimp, fish, bamboo shoots, and fern soup, also known as mountain and sea soup, is a dish where spring bamboo shoots are on the market in the south and fern is fresh and tender. Fresh fish and shrimp are briefly boiled in the soup, and then shrimp, fish, bamboo shoots, and fern are put together and steamed.

This dish is green in color, with the freshness of fish and shrimp, and the beauty of bamboo shoots. It is even more refreshing and delicious when paired with vermicelli. Someone once wrote a poem for this dish.

"I'll take advantage of the spring bamboo shoots and ferns in the mountains to cook with the firewood I burn. I'll ask someone to share some soup with me and send it to the meat-eaters in China and Korea."

Although eating delicacies from land and sea is a common thing for the Jin family, today's seafood feast is also a rare richness for them, because some seafood may not be available on one table.

The He family was fine, they had seen a lot of things, when they were in Beijing before, they could even have a banquet in the palace, and they also ate all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea on weekdays, and everyone sent them delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Uncle Liu and his friends couldn't keep calm. Looking at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, they didn't know what the dishes were and didn't know where to start.

After everyone wiped their hands with hot towels, the maids at the side served soup to everyone. Because some seafood was raw and cold, they drank a bowl of hot soup to warm their stomachs so that they would not feel uncomfortable after eating the raw and cold food.

Song Sanniang asked her maid to look after her uncle and his family. The maid smiled and agreed.

She exchanged places with the maids on Uncle Liu's side, and then helped Uncle Liu and his friends to remove the crab meat from the king crabs, so as not to dirty their hands.

I also quietly introduced the dishes on the table to them. Although someone briefly mentioned the names of the dishes when they were served, they only understood half of what they understood.

Uncle Liu and the others were all very happy. This way they could eat comfortably without having to be unaware of what they had eaten and then not be able to tell others about it.

Everyone was very satisfied with this luxurious seafood feast. There was not only food at the banquet, but also music and singing by the band. Song Sanniang enjoyed the treatment like an ancient emperor.

After the banquet was over, everyone returned to their boats, including Jin Zhaoyi and the others.

Jin Jianchuan and the other man were also going to follow, but with a look from Jin Zhengfeng, the two of them dejectedly followed back to their rooms. Jin Zhengren also followed He Xiaodi.

On the He family's boat, He Jun, Song Sanniang, Jin Zhaoyi and Jin Zhaotong were chatting in He Jun's room. The four of them were chatting happily. For a while, the only sounds in the room were the four of them chattering and laughing.

At night, they didn't need Chunmei and the others to keep watch. They asked someone to move the reclining chair from Song Sanniang's room and put it together with the reclining chair from He Jun's room.

At night, Jin Zhaoyi and the other person slept on it, and the four of them talked together all night.

There are more things to do when there are more people. We discovered new fun games on the boat. We all remembered the last idiom chain game vividly, so we played it again one day.

Song Sanniang couldn't believe that Master He San had the same dark complexion as them and smiled, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

So she suggested replacing the use of ink to paint the face with paper strips. In fact, no one dared to really paint Master He San's face into that horrible look. They had all seen Master He San get angry. Although they were about the same age, he was really scary when he was angry.

Everyone agreed to change to stickers. You know what, stickers are also very funny. At the beginning, everyone was ambitious and vowed to be the one with a clean face.

This time, everyone sat in a circle on the deck, basking in the sun, eating snacks, admiring the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, and playing games.

Song Sanniang was "poor and penniless."

Miss He: "White hair."

Jin Zhaoyi: "vigorous and powerful."

Jin Zhaotong "has great strength."

Kim Jung-in was "poor and destitute."

Jin Jianchuan and Jin Leling obtained Jin Zhengfeng's consent and were allowed to come to the boat, but they could only watch the fun.

Qin Haodong "recited it by heart."

Master He San "is full of brilliance."

He Xiaodi: "Colorful, colorful, colorful..."

"Haha," Jin Jianchuan clapped his hands happily, watching as a thin piece of white paper was stuck on He's forehead.

He Xiaodi refused to admit defeat and tried again in the second round. However, Master He San was deliberately trying to trick him. He wanted to cure his bad habit of not liking to study, so he gave him idioms that he couldn't answer every time.

Later, when everyone had only one or two pieces of paper on their faces, He's face was covered with paper. He was once again tricked by his uncle and even his earlobes were covered with paper. He could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Everyone tried to make him laugh, and all kinds of noises were heard on the boat: laughter, crying, and consolation.

The fleet sailed all the way and soon arrived at the second stop, Qujiang River, where everyone got off the ship.

Passing through the Shuiting Gate Tower and entering Qujiang City, there are docks of all sizes, merchants coming and going, and boats are constantly flowing.

Shuiting Street is home to hundreds of businesses. Fujianese brought their Mazu, Huizhou people set up guild halls and schools, and Ningbo and Shaoxing people established the Ningshao Guild Hall.

Everyone saw a side that was completely different from Min'an, but it was also bustling with people coming and going.
